Does anyone else make fudge?

After learning that Randy and Christine Anderson planned to be among the first business owners in Damascus to apply for a newly available license to sell alcohol, some patrons threatened not to come back to the Music Cafe.
That was the reaction on Nov. 6 — the night voters approved a referendum to allow the sale of beer and light wine at certain restaurants in town.
Now, however, Christine says some have changed their minds after learning that the restaurant intends to maintain its family atmosphere, even while selling alcohol.
�We don�t want to turn into a bar,� she said.
Damascus is currently the state�s last dry town, which prohibits the sale of alcohol. The passage of a referendum Nov. 6 to allow such sales came after 80 years of challenges to the restriction.
�We didn�t think [the referendum] was going to pass,� Anderson said. �People were like, �Congratulations, I can�t wait to have a beer here with my reuben [sandwich].��
Voters in Montgomery County�s 12th electoral district, which includes Damascus, cast 6,754 votes for the referendum, accounting for more than 66 percent of ballots, according to unofficial results. Official results are scheduled to be available Nov. 19.
The passage of the referendum allows sit-down restaurants and hotels to apply for licenses to sell beer and light wine in the town beginning Dec. 19.
In April, the Maryland General Assembly passed a bill calling for a referendum on the issue. Montgomery County�s legislative District 14 delegation, which represents Damascus, decided to sponsor the bill after receiving numerous requests from residents.
A similar bill was passed by state lawmakers and signed into law in 1996, but was later rejected in a referendum vote.
�I think it�s great,� Laurie Flemming, 48, of Damascus said of this year�s results. �I think that the people of Damascus are tired of not having good restaurants. Hopefully, [now] there will be a place where we can sit down and have a nice drink with dinner.�
Under the law, restaurants in the town looking to sell alcoholic beverages have to apply for a Class H liquor license and be approved by the Montgomery County Board of License Commissioners, which regulates the sale and distribution of alcohol in the county. A Class H license allows hotels and sit-down restaurants to sell beer and light wine from 9 a.m.-1 a.m. from Monday through Saturday, and from 10 a.m. to 1 a.m. Sundays, according to the liquor board�s website
License holders pay $400 annually.
Anderson, who supported the passage and held a 36-hour music marathon Nov. 2-4 to raise awareness about the referendum, said she and her husband plan to start putting their application together sometime this week.
�We�re excited,� she said. �I think this is going to be a positive thing for the community.�
As part of the new law, licenses cannot be issued to any restaurant in the town where pool tables, billiard tables, shuffleboards, dart boards, video games, pinball machines or recreational devices are used.
Anderson said she and her husband are exploring several changes to the cafe, including expanding its menu on weekends. Currently, the cafe serves sandwiches, salads, soup and French bread pizza.
Tina Kiima, owner of New York J&P Pizza in Damascus, said she also plans to apply for a license when the law takes effect.
�We were hoping that it would pass because a lot of people ask for it,� she said.
However, the referendum faced some opposition, mainly from the Women Christian Temperance Union, which works to educate communities about the dangers of alcohol and drugs.
�We believe that it�s a shame that [the referendum] passed,� said Bunny Galladora, state president of the Temperance Union. �And when people voted whether knowingly or unknowingly they voted for the negative effects that come with it.�
Galladora said that the introduction of alcohol into the town could result in more alcohol-related car crashes and an increased crime rate.
At this time, Galladora said, the Temperance Union has no plans to protest that new law or any of the businesses applying for licenses. But, she said they would be willing to help if residents decided to organize an effort to go back to the ban.
The process to become approved for a county license includes state mandated training of business staff on rules and regulations, routine inspections by a county liquor inspector and a public hearing with the county Board of License Commissioners, said Kathie Durbin, a division chief with the department of liquor control. The majority of the five-member board must approve the application for the business to receive the license.
�They have to make sure that they have proof of identity, they have to be fingerprinted, they have to have [certain permits] from the health department. ... It�s not an easy thing to do because you have to change your business plan a bit,� she said. �The main thing we check for is that they have a responsible plan, it�s a great responsibility.�
At this time, about 1,000 establishments — at 20 different license classes — are licensed in the county, Durbin said. Depending on hearing schedules and whether all requirements for approval have been fulfilled, businesses in the town could be serving alcohol a month after the law takes effect, Durbin said.

If you're looking for a beverage that will give you
To make sure that the effects were genuine, wilgubeast and I conducted a series of tests to measure our ultra-caffeinated adroitness. The results were a little surprising.
But before we start there's some important stuff you need to know about what we're dealing with, our friend caffeine.
*Caffeine is some potent stuff, take caution when working with it and when ingesting it.
The MSDS for caffeine is frightening, including such warnings as:
- Severe overexposure can cause death.
- Mutagenic for mammalian somatic cells (that's us).
- The substance may be toxic to heart, gastrointestinal tract, central nervous system (CNS).
- Can cause birth defects.
- Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. Repeated exposure to a highly toxic material may produce general deterioration of health by an accumulation in one or many human organs.
In addition to caffeine I also brewed up some coca leaves, no big deal.
*Coca leaves are an alkaloid which are used as powerful stimulants, such as cocaine. Though coca leaves do have stimulant properties the leaves used in this project are far removed from actually doing cocaine (so no angry comments about doing drugs, hmm'kay?).
These coca leaves were bought online and shipped to the USA.
Whew! With all these warnings you'd think that upping the ante on an already potent drink would be crazy. And, you'd be right. So don't do this, I'm a trained professional.
Enough talk, let's make some nitro coffee!
I do wonder what would have happened if you would've dropped something like 5 or 10 mg ritalin in there.
I tried it. Still alive. Wouldn't drink it again on purpose. But if you just really need to power through because you are a long-haul trucker or procrastinating college student... go for it.
I will try something similar and post when a 'win' has occured!
"(C) serving as an agent, intermediary, or other entity that
causes the Internet to be used to bring together a buyer and
seller to engage in the dispensing of a controlled substance in
a manner not authorized by sections (!2) 823(f) or 829(e) of
this title;"
You don't want to be that intermediary or other entity, nor does Instructables! Please, please remove the coca references and re-post this article.
"As coffee can be decaffeinated, the coca tea can also be decocainized. Just like "decaf" coffee does retain a minute quantity of caffeine, "Decocainized" coca tea will still contain a minute quantity of the drug. When the cocaine is removed, the amount of cocaine is small enough for the product to legally sell in the USA according to the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs"
Or just dispose of it.
I will say that publication of this speaks volumes about the author. The whining, terrified right wingers in this country have put a lot of energy into the invasion of privacy and erosion of individual rights, so it's probably not too smart to publicly associate yourself with coca leaves.
I love coffee. This Crack Coffee sounds nasty. Ugh. Well produced instructable, nevertheless!
A slower, lower-temperature evaporation may work, but it is possible that these desired compounds would evaporate with the water. I'm not a chemist, so I'm not sure. Would be interesting to test.
can you say 'broken adrenal gland' ? =)
I stay my morose self (Mind you , I never checked myself if I am an android).
Is there any possible contradiction between NitoCafe and other medication (like: Viagra) for example?
First, coca leaves have coca alkaloids in them, including cocaine. This makes importation into the United States a Federal Felony, unless the the coca leaves have undergone a so-called "de-cocaine-ing," similar to decaffeination of coffee. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca_tea If the coca leaves have undergone cocaine removal, it still leaves a minute amount of cocaine in the leaves, leaving a possible risk if you need to take a drug test that day or the next, or if you frequent this beverage on a heavy, daily basis, then for up to a couple weeks. Namely, if you're drinking this at work, don't get hurt and ask for worker's comp.
Second, though a lot of thought evidently went into this experiment, the end result is not very remarkable (no offense intended). At only 4x the amount of caffeine than an average cup of coffee, it seems to me that drinking four cups of coffee would be preferable than brewing energy drinks through coffee grounds.
Third, energy drinks contain more than a few extra chemicals than just caffeine. These chemicals include (but are not limited to) carnitine, inositol, taurine, and creatine. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_drink#Ingredients) Some of the chemicals can be taxing on internal organs other than just the heart. Also, some of the other chemicals in the energy drink (ie: preservatives, aftificial flavors, etc) may react if heated. And don't forget how much sugar is in the energy drink, plus the simple syrup. Might have wanted to do a glucose test before and after drinking this.
Anyway, if you are looking to increase energy in a natural way, try eating a balanced, healthy diet, lay off the coffee for a couple weeks, then limit yourself to a few cups a day at most, and only when needed to give a boost.
Good luck!
I do hope nothing was hurt in this experiment.
The problem for me is that I am immune to High-caffeine energy drinks :( I can drink 4-5 of those at once without any effect (I do drink energy drinks, but only for the taste. I really like it :) ..and for thirst, of course). And a strong expresso only has a slight effect.
Caffeine ampoules are the answer! =))
If you want stronger you need a cyclic percolater where the water is continually cycled around through the coffee 'basket' until you achieve the strength desired. The back slap from this is that you end up with a more bitter product.
I can make coffee of any strength between fairly weak drip coffee and espresso (the flavour is different, and better than either, imo). The only drawbacks are that it's less efficient (since you use a coarser grind) and not filtering through paper leaves more of the oils which may not be good for you and may bother some people, although other people prefer the flavour.
You are right regarding lack of efficiency, and regardless of length of time brewed I find the final product weak and watery.
At least I learned a new word today.

Descriptions of molds are as follows:
Latex only molds are made without any type of backup. These must be embedded into a pile of sand, foam packaging peanuts or by creating your own backup which will allow the mold to hold it's shape while being poured. This type of mold can be used with plaster or concrete and create 100's of statues.
A latex & fiberglass mold is a latex mold that comes with a fiberglass backup which holds the shape of the latex while it is being filled. This mold works with plaster or concrete and will create 100's of statues.
A latex & plastic mold is a latex mold that comes with a lightweight plastic backup that holds the latex mold in shape while it is being poured. These molds are a great solution for those who want a quick & easy mold that works by itself but is inexpensive and very easy to use. This mold works with concrete or plaster and will create 100's of statues.
ABS PLASTIC ONLY molds can be used all by themselves. You just pour, set and unmold! These molds are great with plaster, concrete, wax and candy. The strength of the plastic varies with the size of the mold we are creating. Plastic molds can last for years and create 100's of statues when taken care of properly.

Most people thought returning world champion Kimi Raikkonen would be the main man for Lotus this season.
Not today, he wasn't.
Another man coming back to F1, Romain Grosjean, upstaged his illustrious team-mate when he qualified third behind McLaren duo Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button.
Grosjean, 26, took part in seven Grands Prix in 2009 for the team then known as Renault but went back to the feeder GP2 category to complete his apprenticeship – and duly won the title.
"I'm a much more complete driver now," he said when Lotus renewed their faith in him for 2012, and he made a huge step towards justifying that faith with his mature performance at the wheel of the E20 – in his first weekend as a fully-fledged F1 race driver here at Albert Park.
"Never give up!" grinned the Frenchman, "that's the lesson. It's not a dream – we really did it. I returned to people who believed in me through difficult times and today they were with me in the car."
Grosjean gave notice of his intentions in the third and final free practice session, where he was only dislodged from top spot by Hamilton's late surge.
He then missed out on a fairy-tale front-row start only at the very end of Q3 when Button fired in his own quickest time to lock it out for McLaren.
"It's a fantastic job from everybody," Grosjean stressed. "Today I'm very proud to be part of this experience with Lotus. A few people believed in me the first time and now I'm back, almost at the top."
Nowhere near the top was team-mate Raikkonen, who could not even get the #9 Lotus out of Q1, which the Finn finished in 18th place, almost a full second slower than early pace-setter Kamui Kobayashi's Sauber.
Meanwhile a breakdown and a mistake cost Raikkonen any chance of making a big statement in his first qualifying session since 2009.
The breakdown was in communications – he thought he had more time for another quick lap – and his own mistake then cost him any chance of getting through. One consolation: he has three sets of the Yellow (Soft) Pirellis still to play with.
One questioner asked Grosjean how it felt to be 1-0 against Raikkonen in their qualifying head-to-head.
"When you start qualifying," came the retort, "you're fighting against 23 other guys and thinking you are fighting for pole position – and to do that you have to beat everybody."
And as he tried to wipe the grin from his face he went even further. "We're planning to get in between these guys (Hamilton and Button) and even at the front – that's the goal."

Sometimes, you don't really care about all the other information that ifconfig spits at you (however useful it may otherwise be). You just want an IP. This strips out all the crap and gives you exactly what you want.
besure to adjust your find to use to correct location of your VMX files.
Sample command to obtain a list of geographic localization for established connections, extracted from netstat. Need geoiplookup command ( part of geoip package under CentOS)
uses the previous "chr" function and uses it to create the inverse function "ord" by brute force.
It's slow, It's inelegant, but it works.
I thought I needed ord/chr to do a cartesian cipher in shell script a whie ago, but eventualy I realized I could get fancy with tr and do the same thing...
Calculates the size on disk for each package installed on the filesystem (or removed but not purged). This is missing the
| sort -rn
which would put the biggest packges on top. That was purposely left out as the command is slightly on the slow side
Also you may need to run this as root as some files can only be checked by du if you can read them ;)
miss a class at UTOSC2010? need a refresher? use this to curl down all the presentations from the UTOSC website. (http://2010.utosc.com) NOTE/WARNING this will dump them in the current directory and there are around 37 and some are big - tested on OSX10.6.1
counts the total (recursive) number of files in the immediate (depth 1) subdirectories as well as the current one and displays them sorted.
Fixed, as per ashawley's comment
usage: sitepass MaStErPaSsWoRd example.com
description: An admittedly excessive amount of hashing, but this will give you a pretty secure password, It also eliminates repeated characters and deletes itself from your command history.
tr '!-~' 'P-~!-O' # this bit is rot47, kinda like rot13 but more nerdy
rev # this avoids the first few bytes of gzip payload, and the magic bytes.
Quick shortcut if you know the hostname and want to save yourself one step for looking up the IP address separately.
show only the name of the apps that are using internet
Not as far off as you thought, now is it?

Lakeforest mall in Gaithersburg could be on its way to redevelopment after the retail center's owners announced Thursday that they met with city staff to begin discussing long-term ideas.
Five Mile Capital Partners LLC, which owns the mall, met with Gaithersburg staff along with Hines, an international real estate firm, to talk about possible plans for operation, improvement and redevelopment, according to a news release.
"I would characterize the conversation as being exploratory for potential development options for the site," said Tom Lonergan, the city's director of economic development.
The meeting followed the mall's $1.2 million renovation project announced in August, which includes an updated children's play area, new food court seating and a reconfiguration of the center court area.
A Lakeforest spokesperson was not available for comment Tuesday.
The 35-year-old mall, with 1.1. million square feet of space, is on Russell Avenue, straddled by Montgomery Village Avenue and Md. 355.
Owned by Five Mile of Stamford, Conn., since 2012, the mall is managed by Urban Retail Properties LLC, headquartered in Chicago.
"Right now I would say the city is listening. We certainly have not been approached with anything formal," Lonergan said. "It's encouraging that Five Mile seems to have brought on such a well regarded development partner."

Don't forget Pirate Week....
Hello Members! I just wanted to take a quick moment and remind everyone that during the week of September 14-19 the Orlando Science Center is proud to present Pirate week—a week filled with pirate adventures in Kids Town. There will be pirate crafts, games, songs and prizes. You can make your own eye patch, search for hidden treasure, enjoy pirate stories, and even meet some of the most wretched crew the seas have to offer.
The best part will be on Saturday September 18th and the first 100 guests will receive a certified Disney "Pirate of the Caribbean" Ships lithographs. The little buccaneers have lots to look forward too such as learning stage combat from the masters themselves, black powder demonstrations, musical sea shanties, pirate tails and the most awesome part of all- special giveaways and prizes.
Grab your boots, your hats and your swords and join us for an exciting week. We also have fun in store for you at our "Get the Message" exhibit starting September 18th.

On the downside, this simplicity can force one into a box, I noticed this same Google characteristic when I started using Picasa over a host of similar programs. One trades speed and simplicity for the ability to customize at will. Over time I am sure we will see an accretion of plug-ins and add-ons and widgets, but for now the interface is really sparse. I will be interested to see how this interface will change my browsing habits, as the navigation bar serves the function of multiple websites/IE features I had used previously (type in "monkey" for example and you get the option for a google search, the wikipedia entry, instances of monkey in your browsing history, and what appear to be frequently visited instances of monkey). Additionally, the placement of linked images of my nine most recently visited websites may toy with my browsing somewhat. At the very least, it is a graphic rss for what I use the most frequently.
And as one who uses the internet continually for academic reference, I think this feature could cut down on a lot of time it usually takes me in searching for items that I hadn't realized were important eight searches ago. Paired with google scholar, this is a very slick tool. Using it for netbible/nestle aland/perseus searches makes it even better.
But I am not involved with IT so I look forward to the opinions of those who are...

No matter which markets they're in, CEOs have one overwhelming goal: to grow their customer base. Over half of CEOs say it's a top-three investment priority in 2013.
This isn't surprising. But what's changed is that CEOs are trying to do this while focusing on fewer, more targeted growth strategies – no easy task in these times, with some businesses and consumers having been hit badly by the recession. Adding to the challenge are the very different – and diverging - purchasing volumes and patterns between and within markets.
In fact, nearly half of CEOs see shifts in consumer buying patterns as a serious business threat. They know that being able to respond quickly and effectively to these trends is crucial for resilience. So it's no wonder that 82% of CEOs are looking for new ways to stimulate customer demand and loyalty this year.
Digital marketing platforms are one obvious way companies are moving forward. And more businesses are involving customers in product and service development. But companies are also aiming to keep their R&D costs down and make the innovation process more efficient.
Use the data explorer to browse survey questions and compare country and industry results.
"Social media has become of growing importance to our business in the sense that you get instant feedback on your product. It is the best way for you to market your product effectively and in a more cost efficient way."
"We try to build a process that genuinely goes out and listens. We try to get a conversation going and ask some questions about what people would like from their energy systems and what they value most. Their answers influence our plans."
"The biggest stakeholder challenge has actually been from our customers. Twenty years ago, we were network centric; now we're consumer centric and we build the network around the consumers' needs. So, we have to have a lot more understanding of what our consumers want."
"The number one thing that will make people more at ease is transparency. Being a public company, the preservation of transparency is an inherent obligation for us. We keep in touch with our customers in order to understand their needs. Everything is interconnected."
"Now, differentiation has become internalised in our organisational thinking. China is such a huge market. It needs something different, and the purchasing power of its people is definitely able to support products that are different."
"Customers have an increasing participation in the decision-making process in Argentina and worldwide; sometimes they're even our company ambassadors, who help us design new services and thus have increasing influence."
"We have to stay close to our key customers because those leaders are the ones who set the trends. We have to understand what they want, not always offer new products, but at least adapt existing products as their needs change."
"We commercial banks are service institutions, so changes in customer demands are extremely important for us. Just as a chef in a restaurant will lose his job if his cooking cannot satisfy his customers, a service institution will not exist if it has no customers."
"The consumer is a stakeholder for any business, of course, but in our industry the consumer is playing a far more active role in shaping the product in terms of using the services and applications we deliver."

One of Calvert County's most famous residents, Tom Clancy, the No. 1 bestselling author who built a four-decade-and-counting empire of no-nonsense military thrillers, blockbuster Hollywood films, syndicated television shows and video games, died last week in Baltimore. He was 66 years old.
Clancy's publisher, G.P. Putnam's Sons, confirmed his death but did not disclose the cause.
Clancy crafted his blockbuster debut novel, "The Hunt for Red October," in the early 1980s while working as an insurance adjuster and living in Calvert County. After selling the novel to the Naval Institute Press for $5,000, his story of a Russian submarine captain who defects to the United States catapulted onto the New York Times bestseller list after President Ronald Reagan declared it "the perfect yarn."
Clancy became a regular on the bestseller list, appearing 17 times, and was only one of three authors to have sold 2 million copies on a first printing in the 1990s, Alexis Welby, Clancy's publicist, wrote in an email. "Patriot Games," "The Sum of All Fears" and "Clear and Present Danger" became the foundation for a successful franchise of more than 100 million books.
"[Clancy] was a consummate author, creating the modern-day thriller, and was one of the most visionary storytellers of our time," said David Shanks in a press release. The Penguin Group's executive was personally involved in the publication of every one of Clancy's novels. "He will be missed by tens of millions of readers worldwide," Shanks added in the release.
The meticulous detail in Clancy's novels often was derived from those he interviewed in the U.S. Navy. While working in insurance and reading military journals published by the Naval Institute, some of his insurance clients were Naval officers whom Clancy relied on for accuracy, according to the Washington Post. The Patuxent River Naval Air Museum in Lexington Park confirmed Clancy had conversations with military personnel on the base, though most have moved on since that time.
A devoted fan of the Baltimore Orioles, Clancy joined Peter Angelos, the Orioles' owner, in 1993 to purchase the team from Eli Jacobs for $173 million, according to the Baltimore Sun. Clancy also was the organization's vice chairman of community activities and public affairs.
"While he achieved international acclaim as a celebrated author, Tom, a proud Baltimorean, was a devoted Marylander, a treasured friend, and a valued partner and adviser in the Orioles ownership group," Angelos said in a press release. "He was a regular presence at Oriole Park and enjoyed talking about baseball, the ballclub and its operations."
Locally, Clancy was known for his seclusion and sometimes eccentric behavior. He was rarely seen in public and kept a tank on the lawn of his 80-acre estate in Huntingtown. In a 1993 Washington Post article, Clancy told reporter Peter Carlson the tank was a "M1A1, from World War II," that his then-wife, Wanda Thomas, gave him for Christmas.
The pair made headlines in the late 1990s due to a bitter and lengthy divorce, battling over real estate, stocks, savings accounts, investments, publishing rights and even the WWII tank Thomas gave her husband. The high school sweethearts married in 1969 and were divorced by the late 1990s, though a settlement was not reached until the early 2000s. After the divorce, Clancy married former journalist Alexandra Maria Llewellyn in 1999.
Once, when his house caught fire in March 2008, Jonathan Riffe, then-chief of the Huntingtown Volunteer Fire Department, recalled his surprising interaction with Clancy.
Riffe said the department was called to Clancy's estate and found Llewellyn at the front door with Clancy held up in his office working on his latest novel, paying no attention to the flames surrounding him. Riffe said the fire started outside and spread to the walls and attic surrounding his office.
"After I explained to Mr. Clancy that he needed to exit the house, we were able to get him outside and put the fire out quickly," Riffe said.
A week later, Riffe said he received a call from Clancy's secretary inviting him and 20 members of the fire department to Clancy's presidential suite at Camden Yards at Oriole Stadium, "as a thank you."
"He and his wife were extremely appreciative for what we did," Riffe recalled. "His wife was very friendly and couldn't thank us enough for what we did for them."
Riffe remembered Clancy as a brilliant, softspoken and reserved man "but definitely a very nice guy."
Clancy's latest novel, "Command Authority," is scheduled to release Dec. 3, according to his publisher.
Clancy is survived by his wife; children, Michelle Bandy, Christine Blocksidge, Thomas Clancy III, Kathleen Kraemer and Alexis "Page" Jacqueline Clancy; and four grandchildren, according to a press release from Clancy's publicist.

Freedom Flix
Freeing Small Farms: Minnesota Farms Fight Protectionism
Farmers should not be threatened with 90 days in jail and $1,000 in fines for selling pumpkins or Christmas trees grown outside city limits. Yet that is the law in Lake Elmo, Minn. On December 1, 2009, the Lake Elmo City Council declared that it would begin enforcing a long-ignored law that forbids farmers from selling products from their own land unless they were grown inside city limits. The city's politicians argue that they are protecting Lake Elmo's rural character. In fact, they are destroying that character by making it impossible for their farmers to earn an honest living and making it more likely that family farms will fail.Read more

Rainfall and Runoff
Current Reservoir Conditions/Operations
The Anatomy of a Spill
More TVA Information
TVA provides these monthly updates on the operation of the reservoir system by email. We sincerely welcome your comments and questions. To provide feedback, sign up for future updates, change your email address, or be removed from this distribution list, please contact email@example.com.
At 4.59 inches, rainfall for the month of January was 100% of normal, for the part of the Tennessee Valley above Chattanooga. Rainfall for the entire basin was just above normal, at 108%.
This continues the pattern of precipitation that's been in place basically since September, with normal or above normal rainfall since then.
With rain falling regularly during January, the ground is more or less saturated. Not much is able to be absorbed, so runoff (the amount that flows over the soil surface and into waterbodies) is increased. January runoff totaled 113% of normal for the area above Chattanooga, and 120% of normal for the Tennessee River watershed.
TVA tributary reservoirs are all above flood guide levels, and all main-stem reservoirs are outside of their winter operating zones—with the exception of Nickajack and Wilson. Spill operations have been the rule, up and down the river, for the past month. The number of "spill days" during the month of January is a good indicator of how hard TVA's been working to recover flood storage space. A lot of water's being routed down through the river system: at Guntersville, Kentucky, and Nickajack alone, spill operations were in effect for at least 25 of the 31 days in January.
Since forecasts call for the prevailing weather pattern (wetter and warmer than normal) to continue, those responsible for operating the reservoir system are conscious of the need to prepare for the likelihood of more rain by continually working to maintain the reservoirs at flood guide levels or within their operating ranges—with the goal of being able to use them for their intended purpose of storing floodwaters. With that in mind, TVA expects spill operations to continue through the middle of February, at various points along the river system.

²Flood guide levels show the amount of storage allocated for flood damage reduction during different times of the year. During the summer, TVA's goal is to meet downstream flow requirements while keeping the reservoir level at the dam as close to the flood guide level as possible to support reservoir recreation. From June 1 through Labor Day, reservoir levels fall below the flood guide only when rain and runoff are insufficient to meet flow requirements. During the rest of the year, the primary objective is to keep the reservoir level at or below the flood guide to ensure there is enough space in the reservoir to store the rain and runoff from flood events.
To say that we don't like to have to do it would be an understatement. As a matter of fact, it's what you might call the option of last resort. But when the situation warrants it, TVA managers don't hesitate. Releasing water through the dam's spillway gates (or "spilling") is an important tool for managing flows in such a way as to minimize flooding, and the manner in which spill operations are conducted plays a big role in protecting people and property.
A variety of factors are considered when TVA initiates spill operations, including inflows, current reservoir levels (available storage), potential downstream impacts, and predicted rainfall. Computer modeling is an incredibly useful tool for those working in the River Forecast Center, but decisions are made based on real-world conditions up and down the reservoir system.
Since spilling has been occurring very frequently along the main-stem reservoirs in response to recent rainfall events, it seemed like a good time to take a closer look at the process. For that, we turned to Nikki Berger, a Lead Engineer in TVA's River Forecast Center—ground-zero for those tasked with monitoring precipitation-producing weather systems and making decisions about how the Tennessee River System is operated. The center is staffed round-the-clock, and at any given point in time one individual (the Lead Engineer) is responsible for—among other things—assessing conditions and making judgment calls about initiating spills, determining flow rates/duration, and then terminating spill operations when the need has passed.
Guided by policy
Berger sets the stage for our discussion of spilling by establishing the justification for doing so. "TVA's Reservoir Operating Policy is the foundation and the framework for everything we do," she explains. "We are charged with providing flood risk reduction by maintaining the reservoir system in as close to a 'ready state' as possible, which means being at or below flood guide on the tributary reservoirs and within operating zones on the main-stem reservoirs. Of course, there are many other public benefits provided by the water in the Tennessee River System—and those are of great importance, as well. That's why we always try to achieve maximum value from the flows we route through the system, making that water, in effect, 'work hard' for the people of the Valley. For example, we are keenly aware of the need to generate clean, cost-effective hydropower. I can promise you that we don't spill as much as a single teaspoon of water before we've determined that it's simply not possible to run even another drop through the turbines."
With that said, though, the undeniable fact remains that sometimes spilling is necessary. Let's take a look at what happens leading up to the point when water begins flowing through the spillway gates.
Inside the River Forecast Center
First of all, constant monitoring helps ensure that those in the River Forecast Center are never "caught off guard" when it comes to developing situations. Volumes of data—both real-time and forecasts—are factored into the decision to spill. "Almost everybody's interested in the latest weather forecast," says Berger. "But we take it to a whole new level. To folks who work in TVA's River Forecast Center, predictions of precipitation are about way more than whether or not we need to take an umbrella when we leave the house: we're making decisions based on those forecasts that often mean the difference in whether or not someone's home or property ends up being flooded."
At any given time, TVA River Forecast Center staff members can take a look at an 8' x 15' wall of monitors, displaying up-to-the-minute (and in some cases, up-to-the-second) information from a wide variety of relevant systems. In addition to the always-on Weather Channel, they are able to see a current radar image of the Tennessee Valley, summaries of river temperature and aeration information, status reports for all of TVA's major generating units, total energy load for the entire TVA power system, and a real-time status map of the river system, with detailed information on each hydroelectric plant's headwaters, tailwaters, flow rates, output in megawatts being generated, and more.

During these times, TVA holds as much water in the tributary reservoirs, for as long as possible—after all, that's what they were designed for: to reduce a flood crest downstream. The flipside, though, is that this flood storage capacity has to be recovered, eventually—in order to maintain the reservoir system in the best possible position to handle future storms. And not every reservoir has enough storage space to hold a large rain event without having to resort to spilling. In the end, everything depends upon precipitation: when it arrives, how much falls, and how long it lasts.
Monitoring the situation
Berger makes it clear that there's no hard and fast "rule" about precisely when conditions dictate the necessity of initiating spill operations. "At a certain point, though, it simply becomes unavoidable," she says. "The rain's probably been falling for a while. You're watching reservoir elevations all along the river, and headwaters are rising. You're looking at forecasts that you have a high degree of confidence in, and you're as certain as you can be that even more rain is coming. As mindful as we always are of our commitments, there just comes a point when all the determining factors align. Even when operating every available generating unit at full capacity—and that's always the case, before spilling is initiated—we reach the place where we just can't move enough water through the system fast enough. With more rain on the way, it's time to spill."
An array of information—from stream gauges, from the National Weather Service, from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers—comes into play. State-of-the-art computer modeling means that River Forecast Center staffers can run vast numbers of scenarios to simulate discharges required to achieve specific headwaters. They are constantly evaluating current conditions in light of what's being forecasted, making necessary adjustments, and refining plans of action.
Preparing and issuing water orders
As rain continues to fall and more is likely on the way, it's the Lead Engineer's job to do a "spill calculation," using a special computer application designed just for that purpose. "For example," says Berger, "if we need to discharge 20,000 cubic feet of water per second from Chickamauga Dam, we have to determine precisely which gates need to be opened—and to what extent—at a given time, in order to produce the effect we're after. That's what we call the 'gate arrangement,' and it's an important aspect of spill operations. Since we're careful of not causing downstream waters to rise too rapidly and we always want to uniformly distribute flow across the river channel, we often partially open a designated portion of the gates at a given project first, and then open the remaining gates to a certain extent. The next step might be to fully open the first gates, and finally open all the rest to the fullest extent. The same thing happens in reverse, when it's time to terminate the spill."
The Lead Engineer takes that information and prepares what's called a "water order:" a set of specific instructions that guide plant personnel at the dams in their implementation of the gate arrangement. There's no room for error, according to Berger: "We fax or email the water order to the control room at the plant, and we call to say we've sent it. They verify receipt of the water order and then repeat it back to us, to ensure that we're all on the same page. A water order is a pretty big deal, and we're all committed to making sure it's done right."
Spillway gate types, numbers, and operating methods vary from dam to dam. Although almost all require the use of a gate crew to open or close, a few can be operated remotely, with just the push of a button.
Gate crews are called out
At that point, a gate crew is assembled. They're the folks who physically move the spillway gates, opening or closing them—either fully or partially, depending on what is called for in the water order. Although gate crew personnel have the skills, training, and years of experience to do the job well, there's still an unmistakable emphasis on safety, notes Berger: "Implementation doesn't happen until everybody's got their safety gear and has been thoroughly briefed about the gate arrangement. Expectations are clear about what's going to happen and how to do it safely."
Spilling vs. sluicing
Spilling may be the more commonly known (and certainly the more visually compelling) method, but there's another way TVA can release water through the dams when flooding concerns arise and the need for discharging water exceeds the rate at which it can be passed through the turbines. Dams on the tributary reservoirs have "sluice gates," built into tunnels that are located at the bottom of the dams. Just like during spill operations, these gates can be opened to allow for the release of excess water. Since the amount of water discharged through sluicing is much less than that achievable by spilling, sluicing is used mostly in winter, when reservoir levels are below the spillway crest and no other option for recovering flood storage space is available. For some projects without spillway gates, like South Holston and Watauga, sluicing is the only way to discharge excess water. Sluicing is more common at a location like Ocoee #3, where (because automated sluice gates there can be operated remotely) the benefit of achieving an almost immediate response makes sluicing a more viable option.
Whether spilling or sluicing, it takes another water order from the River Forecast Center to terminate these releases. The tricky part is determining just when to do it—particularly when the threat of more rain looms in the not-too-distant future. "It can be a tough call," admits Berger, "but we always try to keep in mind the need to optimize generating capacity while not negatively impacting our ability to provide flood risk reduction benefits."
Fast Facts
In a typical year, TVA's River Forecast Center issues around 500 water orders, which serve to document spill operations. During 2011, 987 were issued.
Occasionally, spilling operations are initiated for reasons other than flood risk reduction. For example, water from Tims Ford Reservoir may be spilled in order to provide environmental benefits from water temperature regulation—specifically, to enhance the health of threatened and/or endangered mussel species.
The number of spillway gates at a given project can vary greatly. There are only three spillway gates at Melton Hill Dam, for example, while Wheeler Dam has 60.
The "Discharge of Record" took place at Pickwick Dam on March 17, 1973, with a flow rate of 585,400 cubic feet of water per second. That converts to an astounding 4.38 million gallons per second.
