The best things to do when you're alone in Sydney

Things to do when it rains in Sydney
Just because the skies are falling, doesn't mean you have to sit around doing nothing... We may be a city that struggles when the heavens part but look hard enough and there's a bunch of fun to be had in a downpour. The key is staying out of it with these great rainy day activities:
Escape rooms in Sydney
Puzzle rooms are taking Sydney by storm. Every time we check, another two seem to be popping up out of nowhere – and each one raises the bar with new ideas inspired by the hundreds of escape rooms found across the world. (Apparently Hungary is the place to go for the ultimate mystery room binge – there are more than 100 rooms in Budapest alone). The concept is simple: solve a variety of puzzles placed in and around the room before your allotted time runs out. Each room has a different theme and stimulates all senses, demanding a variety of problem-solving skills. Time Out took the challenge of visiting nine rooms in the city. Whether we got out in time? Well, that's a different matter.
The best walks in Sydney
Coastal walks, bush walks, historical walks and inner city ambles: there are many routes to choose from to discover Sydney from a new angle.

The Sackville Hotel is hosting a long winter lunch matched with the taste of Tassie, care of three craft brews from Moo Brew and three wines from Moorilla Wines. The lunch is priced at $60 a head, and includes roasted beets with baby watercress and feta as a starter, followed by salt and pepper bugs with kimchi cucumbers and wasabi mayo. Your main will star a grass-fed beef tenderloin with seasonal vegetable sides and for dessert a chocolate fudge brownie should take care of any lingering sugar cravings. This lunchtime bounty will be accompanied by a pilsner, hefeweizen and dark ale from Moo Brew, alongside a sparkling riesling, sauvignon blanc and a pinot noir from Moorilla. This is the sort of event it pays to arrive hungry for, and with four courses and matched beverages included in the ticket price, it's also great value for an indulgent afternoon.

TravelPod Member ReviewsHoliday Inn Paris-St. Germain Des Pres
This hotel is perfectly situated 1/2 block away from the St. Sulpice Metro stop. It took us less than 10 minutes to get to all of the major museums and sites of Paris. We actually stayed here twice in one trip (4 days the first time, 3 days the second time), and our first room had the quirky shower all of the reviews talk about and it was a bit small, but maybe not so small in comparison to other rooms in Paris - not to mention that the view from the window was wonderful. Our second time we were upgraded to the Executive Suite an it was definitely more spacious with a better shower situation. We were so grateful that the staff was so amazing. One particular woman at the front desk went above and beyond to be helpful every time we encountered her. We would definitely chose to stay here again in the future. (one tip: on the 2nd floor we could get wifi from the lobby!)

Historical Traveler Reviews Holiday Inn Paris-St. Germain Des Pres
Not too bad
The hotel was located near two Metro stops, so location was fairly convenient. The hotel front desk were so-so, efficient but not friendly. Our room was smallish, but tastefully decorated and clean.
The bathroom had a tub and shower and was also nice and clean. The only complaint is that the bed was hard and the room got very hot one night, even though the air was on to the lowest setting.
This hotel was fine for what we needed on our short trip to Paris.
Loved the location!
My husband and I stayed there for 3 nights in January 04, and we loved it! It was our first time in Paris. The staff spoke English, and they were very helpful. The room was clean, and the heating system worked great. The bathtub was new and clean, so it let me take a bath after a long day of sightseeing. (A lot of hotels lack this aspect.) The size of the room (1 double bed) didn't bother us at all since we are used to traveling in Asian countries, and even in the U.S. we've seen worse.
The only reason why I'm giving 4 marks is because even if you put out the "Do not disturb" sign, they'll come in to clean the room. I put the sign out one day before we went out because I didn't have time to organize my stuff well enough to feel comfortable about letting people in the room, but they went in anyway. I thought "Hmm..." and put the sign out again the next day too see what happens, and they went in again. I've never stayen in a hotel that does this... Is it a French thing? I'm sure I could have asked them not to, so it's not a big deal, but I think it's kind of funny. (What if we were really sleeping in the room?) Well, but it was just the right hotel for us (locatio, price), so we'd stay there again.
Excellent location
Stayed 3 nights 1st -3rd Jan 2004; first time in Paris. Great base for "doing" Paris, despite only 75 metres from Metro (Saint Placide) extremely quiet location. Just off Rue du Rennes which runs between Montparnasse (5 minute walk) and Bld St Germain (10-15 minute walk).
Room and en-suite small but ample for our needs. Only criticism was no tea/coffee facilities in room - although fridge/mini-bar well stocked.
Didn't bother with hotel breakfast (priced at 14 euro) because plenty of bistros/brasseries within 5 minute walk offering breakfast from 7 euro. A previous reviewer suggested that the staff weren't too keen to speak English - well the young lady that checked us in was Australian!
and we found that wherever we went in Paris, our attempts at "school-day" French was appreciated and was met with a good natured response from the "locals". We booked direct on-line with Holiday Inn and got a deal for 75 euro per night (normally 100). If you're on a budget, as we were, and just need a fairly central base, this hotel could be ideal - it certainly was for us.
My daughter and I stayed here in December 2003. Our first room was terrible - very small and dumpy, peeling wallpaper, non-working heating system, etc. I upgraded after the first night by paying 35 euro per night more to one of the executive level rooms, which was better.
Breakfast is okay. The hotel's location is hard to find for some taxi drivers. Overall, fair value for the price if you go for the exec room.
Don't even bother for the regular rooms. If you're looking for a Holiday Inn in Paris, try the Republique. It's better.
The hotel was clean and was convenient to metro stations (St. Placide).
However, I was surprised that the front desk staff didn't seem to know or be willing to speak English, despite the hotel's being an American chain. I can speak and understand French, so I am able to get along OK, but I would shudder to think what would happen to someone who did not know any French!
Excellet staff, great location, good room
This hotel is at a great location, is clean and more boutique-like. The front desk staff is absolutely wonderful, helpfula and friendly. I will be staying here again. You cannot miss with this hotel
Great Hotel, Terrific Location
As a professional business traveler for over thirty years with an average of over 100 nights per year in hotels, I can honestly say that this well-located and comfortable "boutique" hotel is a real gem. The St. Germain neighborhood is ecelectic and fun with many restaurants, interesting shops and Metro access a few feet from the door. The famous Bon Marche Department Store is two blocks away and do NOT miss the incredible Grand Epicure across the street from the store--wonderful fresh foods, wines, and cheeses. Rooms at the hotel are simple but well-appointed. The small bar located off the lobby is a nice spot for an early evening glass of wine with wonderful views of the street from the large windows. Hotel staff are gracious, speak better english than I do and have a willingness to share information about places to eat and areas to explore without appearing hassled or hurried. My company has used this hotel for many years and I sincerely hope they intend to continue this policy! This has become my little home in Paris.
Good location, excellent front-desk staff, a few teeny-tiny rooms
I regularly stay at this hotel, not due to great ambience or exceptional charm or any of the superlatives thrown around when discussions turn to hotels in Paris. But it does have a number of modest advantages.
In addition to having being near Montparnasse (the area around the ugly tower and the celebrity-studded Montparnasse cemetary are ideal spots to visit while waiting for the 2pm check-in time to roll around or walking off the effects of jet-lag), and having an English-friendly front-desk staff, this property -
- is within a short walk of two metro lines
- has a laundromat and a full-service laundry
(8 euros for a shopping bag full, wash and fold - what a deal!) within 100 meters
- is within sub-10 minute walks to the rue Vavine shopping area and a honking big Bon Marche
- is a few blocks from Alexandre Constant, a Paris chocolatier of remarkable quality
- has two or three English channels on cable
- has been known to have decent (sub-$100)Internet specials on the Holiday Inn web site because it's not bang in the center of the tourist circuit
- is bang next to the Sunday farmers market on blvd Raspail, just off rue de Rennes. This is the place to go for fine artisinal cheeses and adventuresome wines to take home, and for beautiful (no other word works as well!) meats and vegetables and breads to consume sitting a park bench at the nearby Luxemburg Gardens
On the negative side -
- some of the rooms are tiny, so you should see your room before lugging up your bags
- English newspapers (Herald Tribune and the ubiquitous USA Today) are available only in the lobby, and you need to be quick to find one before they run out in the morning
- requires a painful RER -> Metro change at the St. Michel station if you're using the RER link from Charles de Gaulle. It's possibly better to take the RER to Denfert-Rochereau and cab the remaining short distance, though with the attendant uncertainty of finding a cab quickly
Finally, I'd avoid the hotel breakfast unless it's included in the rate or this is your first time out of Peoria! There are plenty of good and cheap (relatively speaking) patisseries within a block or two. I especially like the one on the parallel street north of the hotel, opposite an Italian restaurant called Villa Napoli or something like that.
In summary, this is a hotel for the pragmatic frequent traveler, not for a once in a lifetime "we'll always have Paris" stay. Approach it as pot-au-feu at a neighborhood bistro rather than as Coquilles Saint-Jacques at Arpege, and you'll leave content!
Pleasant surprise
My Mother and I enjoyed our stay at this Holiday Inn which was very well-situated for visitors to Paris for the first time. Our rooms, though small, were clean and the temperature was just right as we could adjust the air conditioning to our comfort level. The bathroom was large, newly renovated--a heavenly retreat after a long day of walking. The breakfast buffet had everything from hot foods to cereals, fresh and dried fruits, yogurts, every kind of beverage, breads and pastries. You could even take food to go! The restaurant staff was friendly and helpful as were the front desk staff. I witnessed a staff member chasing down guests who had forgotten their tickets to Disneyland!
Wonderful place to stay
My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon. We were surprised to have a spacious bathroom, having heard about the small, cramped hotel rooms in Paris. The room was perfect! Breakfast was included and was absolutely delicious, full buffet breakfast, rather than just croissants and coffee. The people at the front desk all spoke English and were very helpful. The hotel is located in Saint Germain des Pr�s, on the left bank. The metro stop was only a half block away and we had many restaurants, and patisseries within walking distance. We even found a fresh fruit market within a block! Great place to stay if you're riding the metro, a little tricky in a car, since it's between two one-way streets.

Of course, things end where they began (pic 23) and the ride was over before I knew it. I think I could take pictures in Paris at night for forever and be perfectly happy. It is an entirely different city at night with a distinct ...

Again though, the strange looks were back when we rocked up in our travelling clothes and packs! We'd got into Paris reasonably early, around mid day, so there was still stuff to be done for the afternoon. Given that Simone had listed out everything that we wanted to do, and I had done such ...

Sean McPherson is never really off the clock. A musician by trade, he's a promoter and entertainer by nature, the type of guy with an ever-present stash of flyers in his back pocket who'll make himself available whenever a friend needs a favor. It's a fact that's served him well, first as the bassist of St. Paul hip-hop mainstay Heiruspecs, and later as a founding godfather of Trivia Mafia — a role he walked into when he wanted a way to keep audiences occupied between sets. Now, McPherson — known to many as Twinkie Jiggles, his stage name with Heiruspecs — is stepping into his very own spotlight with Too Big to Fail, the debut record of the Twinkie Jiggles Broken Orchestra. "It's exciting and terrifying that the mistakes are all mine," McPherson admits. "I doubt there will be anybody besides folks within my immediate circle who'll go, 'This is precisely what I expected from Sean going solo.'" He pauses to smile, then adds, "But I'm glad it's my name and that I'm trying this thing out." Sure enough, the Broken Orchestra is decidedly quiet and contemplative. But to someone hailing from a hip-hop group emphasizing live instrumentation, this project's subtle exploration of jazzy textures and soulful dirges is a not-too-distant cousin. It's a sound that was borne of its environment, in cafes and restaurants, and yet another product of McPherson's heads-up attitude: When one of his other bands couldn't make a gig at Barrio, he pulled together a few of his friends, and the Broken Orchestra was born. The group started as a bit of a diversion — these days his primary gig is playing bass for Dessa — but as he wrote more material, he decided to record an album. "It was, and still is, a way to take some more chances, because there's not a ton of expectation of what will happen at a particular show." (Photo by Carrie Thompson)

It is an exciting challenge to hunt the world for the very finest and most rare of wine; and to then create a balance within an extensive list to provide the luxury of great choice.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) - The Savannah City Council has come up with a new set of rules for St. Patrick's Day revelers next month.
There won't be any gates on River Street this year. But anyone consuming alcohol on that street will have to pay $5 for a wristband.
City officials say two or three beer vendors and two or three food vendors will be permitted on the festival perimeter. Local restaurants, starting with River Street businesses, get priority on the limited space.
All businesses will be allowed to remain open until 3 a.m., saving police manpower from having to stop the party while crowds are still large.

When something tragic has happened, you'll find that you, the tragicee, become the person that has to make everything comfortable for everyone else....As a tragicee and future divorcee, you'll also find that people will question you on the biggest decisions you've ever made in your life as though you hadn't thought about them at all before – as though, through their twenty questions and dubious faces, they're going to shine light on something that you missed the hundredth time around during your darkest hours.

The voice within is what I'm married to. All marriage is a metaphor for that marriage. My lover is the place inside me where an honest yes and no come from. That's my true partner. It's always there. And to tell you yes when my integrity says no is to divorce that partner.

Nothing can cost you someone you love. The only thing that can cost you your husband is if you believe a thought. That's how you move away from him. That's how the marriage ends. You are one with your husband until you believe the thought that he should look a certain way, he should give you something, he should be something other than what he is. That's how you divorce him. Right then and there you have lost your marriage.

This was delicious. I made it for Easter. I used Bacardi's golden rum. I took the cheesecake out of the oven while the center was still soft. I wasn't sure if it would set up. It set up beautifully. I made this the day before Easter and it was in the fridge about 18 hours. Wonderful!!!
this cheesecake is DELICIOUS! i love making cheesecakes and my hubby loves eating them and this is by far the best one i've made (and he's eaten). I used Malibu Rum. Before we finished eating the one i made, hubby was requesting another.
This is a fabulous cheesecake! I made it for a Memorial Day gathering yesterday and everyone ( 21 people ) loved it! Thanks for posting this- it will definitely be made again!!

I have made this at least 6 times since I posted my review- its one of my favorite desserts to make and enjoy! I have made several tweaks to the recipe. For the crust I used just 1cup of graham cracker crumbs, added 3/4 cup of flaked coconut and omitted the sugar, since the coconut was sweetened. In the glaze, I used 1/4 rum in place of the water and increased the cornstarch to 4 tablespoons. everyone loves this cheesecake! Thanks for posting it!
I made this for my husbands birthday and he loved it. I had several cans of cream of coconut on hand and I used coconut rum for the rum. It was very DELICIOUS. I will definately make it again but will make 2 smaller cakes rather than one large one. Thanks for posting.
This is delightfully light and sinfully delicious. Reminds you of the smells and flavors of Hawaii. Try it and you will like it.
This was awesome! I made it without the rum. I also only used 3 eggs. Thank you!!
This is awesome! We have prepared it severla times for church and for caterings my chef class does. We have split this into 2 smaller springform pans and baked it for about 50 minutes. It is wonderful!
All i can say is "WOW". Best cheesecake i ever had.
After trying this, I threw my old tried and true recipe away. The only change I made was to use walnuts for the pecans. Thanks for sharing.
This cake is TDF!!!!I made it to take to school for a classmates birthday, and every moist, creamy bite tasted like the BEST Pina Colada you've ever had! Everyone couldn't stop raving over it! I made only one change. Since I didn't have light rum, I used gold rum. I also baked it for an extra 15 min. But the recipe is very easy to follow and turns out FANTASTIC! So if you're a real fan of Pina Coladas, this is a MUST TRY recipe!

Diabetes Health Center
Can Diabetes Be Prevented?
The treated group received individualized advice and support for making lifestyle changes -- including how to lower total and saturated fat, how to increase fiber in their diets, and how to get, and stay, more physically active. The participants had monthly consultations the first year and less frequent but regular visits in the following 4 years. The comparison group didn't receive such hands-on advice but did get tips about diet and exercise at their annual check-ups.
But what if you're not so lucky as to get constant feedback and attention from a team of health care professionals? A British study presented at the ADA conference was designed with much less constant oversight and found that neither oral medication nor advice regarding a healthy lifestyle made much difference in preventing type 2 diabetes
In this study, 188 participants at high risk for type 2 diabetes were randomly chosen to receive either reinforced lifestyle advice or basic advice on healthy living. At the same time, the participants were assigned to groups that either received the diabetes medication gliclazide daily, a placebo "dummy" pill, or no tablets at all.
At the end of the six-year study, the participants receiving reinforced advice had lost somewhat more weight than the those getting basic advice, and they had less fat in their diets. However, the groups' rates of progression to diabetes were similar. The medication group, placebo group, and no-tablet group also had similar rates of progression.
The difference between the studies is probably because the Finnish study involved more structure and support, while the British study focused on supportive advice, Holman tells WebMD.
The problem with lifestyle changes is putting them into practice in a real-life situation, says Holman, professor of diabetic medicine at the University of Oxford in Cambridge, England. "The achievable ... changes in people leading routine lives are not large enough to reduce the risk of diabetes," he says. "Only greater changes will have this effect."
Insulin injections may prevent type 1 diabetes in people at risk of developing it, says Tihamor Orban, MD. He and colleagues at the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston have followed 31 participants who have a parent or a brother or sister with type 1 diabetes as well as the blood antibodies for diabetes. They shared their findings at the ongoing ADA conference.

Coming from Shabaam Sahdeeq's Y2K release, Scandalous forthcoming on Rawkus Records, Sahdeeky brings the two joints. "Are You Ready" introduces the new breed of backpack thugs, as the production and lyrics are a little more rugged than what most Rawkus fans are used to. "Concrete" with Xzibit is a nice collabo, still remaining closer to the street than most previous Shabaam material, such as the Polyrhythm Addicts stuff. I'm feeling both sides of this 12″, and am looking forward to the LP.

Final Fantasy XIV market ward and player search improvements detailed
A few details regarding market ward improvements and the introduction of a player search feature included in the next update to Final Fantasy XIV have revealed. According to Massively, market wards will include functionality similar to Final Fantasy XI's auction house, and will contain transaction history as well as an option to buy directly from the item search screen. The player search feature will soon allow players to flag themselves as looking for group, and allow players to indicate which classes and questlines they are needing. Players will also be able to sort by a variety of criteria when looking for potential party members, making things much easier and streamlined than the current system in place.

Aldi is a great place for some vegan foods!
Over a year ago
I'm not sure if anybody has heard of this grocery chain, but a lot of people do not know about it. They offer food at discount prices (also accept food stamps if anyone needs them)
I've been shopping there for years and never thought anything, but now that I'm vegan it's my go-to store!
They sell almond, soy, rice, and coconut milk really cheap. Some stores even carry soy ice cream and Boca products. All their make-up and beauty products are cruelty free. Also, they sell vegan Italian ice. There are so many staples at that store that are vegan I can't even list them all!
I'm hoping more vegans become aware of this little store 🙂
If anyone wants to check out their site, here it is: http://aldi.us/index_ENU_HTML.htm

I love aldi, I do all my shopping there XD They have the cheapest produce, and some of the best too. Mine only sells almond and soy milk, which is fine because all I drink is almond milk, and it's sooooo much cheaper than anywhere else for that.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Through AAMVA's Committees and Working Groups, AAMVA works with member jurisdictions to develop Best Practice documents and model legislation. These documents are designed for Chief Driver License Administrators and Law Enforcement personnel and staff.
A "Best Practices Document" establishes the ideal approach for establishing and maintaining programs. The guidelines provided in this document are recommended and provide a jurisdiction with details on optimal model programs. A "Best Practice" is not mandated nor monitored for compliance.
Released August 2015
AAMVA's Ignition Interlock Program Best Practices Working Group developed this guide in order to fill in the gaps not addressed by NHTSA's Model Guideline to State Ignition Interlock Programs, and the Association of Ignition Interlock Programs Administrators' (AIIPA) Standardized Vocabulary & Standardized Best Practice Recommendations, offer additional guidance to DMVs legislatively charged with administering ignition interlock programs. Using the three documents together, jurisdictions can find a complete set of best practices to help build or maintain effective ignition interlock programs. Accompanying the guide is a training video for law enforcement officers who may encounter a driver who is operating a vehicle equipped with an ignition interlock device. Learn what driver's license ignition interlock restriction codes mean, some ignition interlock device circumvention tactics, and other useful information.

AAMVA's Facial Recognition Working Group developed Facial Recognition Program Best Practices to offer recommendations to all DMVs having or beginning a facial recognition (FR) program. The document offers an overview of facial recognition technology, and DMVs with up and running programs can compare their business and operational practices against these best practice recommendations to improve their existing program. DMVs just starting a Facial Recognition program can use the best practices document as a blueprint to help them build a strong program from the ground-up.

Oh, one more thing... if I plan on eventually providing a very light 2D client interface with buttons (maybe with some very simple pixelated, graphics as well), are there any recommended libraries that are better suited for drawing 2D graphics and interfaces? The ones you suggested seem more geared towards 3D developments. Just making sure to touch all bases to figure out what tool is best to learn for the long run =).

Choosing a Baby Sitter You Can Count on
Parents are particularly scrupulous when looking for daytime child care arrangements. But should you be any less careful when hiring a baby sitter for a one-night booking? It is equally important to make the right choice when hiring a nighttime sitter.
The Search Is on
Don't assume that a relative or family friend is any better than a sitter-for-hire; the most important qualifications for a sitter are maturity and responsibility. Here, three sources for finding people that meet these qualifications:
1. Get Personal Referrals
The best referrals come from dependable sources. Inquire among people you trust: ask how they found the baby sitter, if they were comfortable with the arrangement, if they would ask the sitter back again and what they paid. Places to consider when sleuthing for names are your pediatrician's office, churches and your child's school.
2. Conduct a Self-Search
A second option is to advertise. Consider a local paper or community or college bulletin boards. The New York City-based Child Care Action Campaign (CCAC) recommends that your ad give the following information: your child's age; the hours during which you need child care; the professional qualifications you require (such as certification in CPR); and the benefits that you as an employer will offer, such as gas money to get to and from your house or free meals while on the job.
3. Contact an Agency
The CCAC offers a handy guide on choosing the right child care (call 212-239-0138 to order). You can also try the Yellow Pages, looking under "child care." Some local agencies such as the American Red Cross, YWCA and Girls Inc. offer baby-sitting training courses and job referral programs for prospective sitters.
Interview with a Sitter
Once you have the names of prospective baby sitters, set up interviews to meet with them to determine their maturity level and to just "get a feel" for each person. Bruce Hirschfield, Director of the Child Welfare League of America (CWLA) notes that maturity, not age, is the deciding factor. "You can have a fourteen-year-old with a great deal of maturity, and a twenty-two-year-old without much maturity," says Hirschfield. "It really goes case by case. You must feel comfortable with the baby sitter."
Thank you for submitting your response.

Modification of HRTF Filters to Reduce Timbral Effects in Binaural Synthesis, Part 2: Individual HRTFs
In the first part of this study, a method for designing modified head-related transfer function (HRTF) filters with reduced timbral effects was proposed. Spectral localization cues were effectively scaled down while preserving the interaural time and level differences. For non-individualized HRTFs, the modifications were found to produce no statistically significant changes in localization. This paper continues the investigation using individual HRTFs. It is shown that in this case the reduction in timbral effects comes at a slight listener-dependent cost in localization performance. The filter design thus enables trading off more neutral timbre against more accurate localization.

I am planning to upgrade our VI3 infrastructure to VSphere 4. The VI3 consists of the following: esx servers 3.5 U2 running on Dell PE1955 blades with Intel Xeon Quad core E5335 CPUs Virtual Centre 2.5 running on Windows Server 2003 as a VM The VC database is running on SQL server 2005 SP2 and a size of 3GB No Update Manager running at the moment on VC2.5. The license server is running on a separate Windows box. I have enough upgrade license keys for VSphere 4. Total of 8 ESX servers in VI3 at the moment but only 5 will be upgraded to ESX 4.0. Would it be possible to run remaining 3 esx servers in the VC4.0? What would be the best way to upgrade the VC 2.5 to VC 4.0? What would be the best way to upgrade ESX server 3.5U2 to ESX4.0, Clean install or Update Manager?
Are there any issues upgrading VC2.5 to VC4.0 Update1?
The VMs are stored on datastores mounted on IBM FC SAN DS4500. Is this SAN compatible with vSphere4.0?
Is there anything else I need to consider in this upgrade process?
I need to confirm this information before I start the upgrade process and your input will be highly appreciated.

New Mexico utility plans to request rate increase
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico's largest electric provider plans to ask state regulators to raise rates for their customers.
PNM wants to recover costs for investment in power plants and other infrastructure and to make up for a decrease in power consumption. The drop in consumption is attributed to factors such as the state's weak economy, energy conservation and renewable sources such as ro[auth] oftop solar.
The utility expects to file a case for a rate increase with the Public Regulation Commission by December, PNM Vice President for Regulatory Affairs Gerard Ortiz told the Albuquerque Journal (http://bit.ly/1lwe9CZ).
PNM hasn't yet decided how big of an increase it will request.
"It's related to capital investment PNM has continued to make since it filed its last rate case in 2010," Ortiz said. "It will cover investments made from 2011 to the end of 2016. We'll be trying to catch up with five years of spending."
Utility investments are expected to total in the hundreds of millions of dollars for the five-year period.
PNM last won a rate increase in 2011 when the commission approved a 9 percent increase in customers' bills.
The company's number of customers grew by 6 percent over the past six months, but PNM still reported drops in overall electricity use. Resident use dropped by 5 percent during the first half of the year, commercial use dropped by more than 3 percent and industrial demand was down 8.4 percent.
The sharp decline in electricity demand is chipping away at the utility's earnings this year.
PNM and other utilities must maintain their revenue streams to cover fixed costs for infrastructure, but the combination of a sluggish economy, more energy-efficient technology and building practices and renewable energy systems are putting them in a bind.
"All power companies, PNM included, have this problem," said Revis James, director of generation at the national Electric Power Research Institute. "Economic factors drive demand growth, or the lack of, on a short-term basis. But you have to plan for energy infrastructure in the long term to be ready to meet future demand at least a decade out."
Planning is becoming more challenging for utilities facing declines in consumption, James said.
Pending and future environmental regulations are complicating matters for PNM, which faces major investments to ensure its aging coal-fired San Juan Generating Station meets standards. The costs related to dealing with San Juan will be covered in later rate-increase cases.

The great Minneapolis crime wave: Not as bad as you think
There has been no shortage of ranting and raving about crime rates in Minneapolis. In part, of course, this is because crime has been on the rise in the city for the better part of four years. But the tenor of the commentary--both in the mainstream news outlets and the local blogosphere--has become markedly more hysterical of late. And this being the political season, the problem has been laid at the feet of everyone from Mayor RT Rybak to Governor Tim Pawlenty to Hennepin County Attorney Amy Klobuchar to the Minneapolis Police Department. On the web, naturally, the usual suspects (i.e. Somalis and American born blacks) have been the recipients of some especially nasty lashings.
But when the publishing house Morgan Quitno Press released its list of the most dangerous cities in America this week, ranters of all stripes were presented with yet another round of ammunition. Why? Because Morgan Quitno ranked Minneapolis as America's 27th most dangerous city--a distinction that placed our fair community above Philadelphia, Houston and a host of other cities more commonly associated with street level mayhem.
The rankings were determined by the number of so-called "Part One" crimes--murder, rape, robbery, larceny, aggravated assault, burglary, arson and auto theft--that police departments report to the FBI on annual basis. (One important note: Not all cities submitted complete data to the FBI, so the statistics are somewhat skewed. New Orleans, for understandable reasons, didn't manage to get its 2005 data into the hands of the FBI, nor, for less comprehensible reasons, did Duluth or Bloomington).
Still, it is obvious that the end is nigh for Minneapolis and the time has come to hold all those pols, cops, and unruly minority folk to account. Right? Well, not if you bother to take a longer view.
In fact, over the past decade, Minneapolis has experienced a marked decrease in serious crime. In 1997, according to MPD spokesman Gregory Reinhardt, the city reported 42,287 Part One offenses. By 2005, that number had fallen to 28,318--a 33 percent decrease from those 1997 numbers. Reinhardt estimates that the 2006 statistics will probably be slightly over 30,000.
It that good news? Of course not. But is Minneapolis the Baghdad of the Midwest? No. It's just another medium-sized city that is facing a complex array of economic and social problems that are far easier to fulminate over than to solve.

Sake pairings at RA Sushi
We learn about different varieties of the rice wine in a Sushi 102 class.
By Jess Mayhugh. Posted on September 14, 2011, 1:30 pm
Last night I attended a media event put on by Profiles PR at RA Sushi, to promote the restaurant's new Sushi 102 class. We were able to take part in a sample class, where we made a tuna appetizer, rainbow roll, shrimp tempura roll, and banana split maki for dessert.
All the while, the sushi chefs at RA paired each dish with a fitting sake sample. I've been to beer and wine pairings before, but never sake, so I was anxious to find out what makes a good match.
Our first course that we made, seared tuna slices with creamy wasabi dressing, was paired with Kizakura's Stars sparkling sake, pictured. This sake was especially light with a subtle fruity flavor, which worked well with the refreshing tuna appetizer. But, connoisseurs would probably miss the distinct sake flavor.
The rainbow roll was paired with RA's house sake, which had a dry flavor that countered nicely with the strong fish-taste of the tuna and salmon on top of the roll. Next, the shrimp tempura roll (with crab mix, avocado, and asparagus) was matched up with the Hananomai Katana, which had a clean, almost lemony flavor—a good complement to the fresh green vegetables.
We (somehow) made room for dessert and made our own banana split maki (bananas and chocolate chips fried in tempura batter, topped with fruit and whipped cream). This was, fittingly, paired with Nigori crème de sake, which was creamy and sweet (the dessert wine of sake) and would probably pair really well with spicy food.
While it wasn't always pretty, it was fun learning how to make our own sushi—and also gaining insight on what sake works best with what dish. If you're interested in taking a Sushi 102 class, RA is offering classes September 18, October 23, November 20, and December 18 at 2 p.m. Call the restaurant or email firstname.lastname@example.com to reserve a space.

FORT WORTH - BYU can stop worrying about reaching the BCS. TCU made sure of that in an ironic twist of revenge.
Andy Dalton threw for two touchdowns, receiver Jeremy Kerley became a running threat and TCU beat the ninth-ranked Cougars, 32-7, on Thursday night, snapping their 16-game winning streak that was the longest in major college football.
When the Cougars were last in Fort Worth two years ago, they snapped TCU's 13-game winning streak that was then the nation's longest.
BYU (6-1, 2-1 Mountain West) never had a chance this time, not with Kerley, a former high school quarterback, taking direct snaps and running all over the place for the Frogs (7-1, 4-0) and their smothering top-ranked defense.
Max Hall, who had been sacked only twice over the first six games, was sacked four times before halftime, and three more after that. His fumble set up TCU's first touchdown and he threw an interception that led to another score by the Frogs - all in the first quarter.
He finished 22-of-42 for 274 yards with two interceptions.
With the first Bowl Championship Series standings coming out Sunday, the only undefeated team left in the Mountain West is No. 14 Utah (7-0), whose eight-game winning streak is now tied with No. 3 Penn State and No. 7 Texas Tech for the longest in the country.
The Utes obviously have the best chance to get into one of the major bowls since no BCS buster has ever lost in the regular season. But they still have to play TCU, which certainly can't be eliminated from that conversation since its only loss was at No. 4 Oklahoma.
As for the Cougars, reaching the BCS at this point would take a small miracle.
Utah was the original BCS buster in 2004, then the following season came to TCU and had its 18-game winning streak snapped.
After missing the last two games with a knee injury, Dalton threw a 25-yard touchdown to Jimmy Young on his first pass. He added a 12-yarder to Walter Bryant just before halftime, the receiver making a nifty grab and getting a foot down in the back corner of the end zone - a catch confirmed by replay - for a 23-0 lead.
Dalton finished 12-of-19 for 170 yards and Kerley ran nine times for 77 yards. Jerry Hughes had four sacks for TCU and forced two fumbles.
Austin Collie matched the MWC record with his fifth consecutive 100-yard receiving game (six catches for 116 yards) for the Cougars, who had also won 18 consecutive conference games, a streak that began with their 2006 victory at TCU.
On BYU's opening drive of the game, Daryl Washington dropped a possible interception near the 50 with a wide-open field to the end zone ahead of him.
But two plays later, Hughes hit Hall from behind, stripping the ball and TCU recovered at the Cougars 40.
The Frogs quickly went for the end zone.
Dalton threw a pass that wasn't caught because of a pass interference penalty, then hit Young on the next play.
Kerley scored on a 16-yard run, avoiding a BYU defender just past the line and then zigzagging through the middle of the field virtually untouched for a 14-0 lead, ending a 72-yard drive on which he also had 24-yard run.
TCU scored on its first three possessions, going ahead 17-0 on Ross Evans' 21-yard field goal a play after an apparent interception was overturned by replay.
That drive included a 21-yard run by Kerley.
That gave TCU as many points in 16 minutes against the Cougars as they had allowed their last 16 quarters. BYU had given up only 17 points in their past four games, including consecutive lopsided shutouts against UCLA and Wyoming.
