TerraVerde Report Finds Solar Best Practices in New Jersey as SEIA Top Five Solar State
"New Jersey's success with solar reflects a policy shift in the way state governments are approaching sustainability"
New York, NY – March 24, 2014 - TerraVerde Capital Management LLC, a leading investment management firm focused on infrastructure, clean tech and renewable energy today announced a comprehensive report titled, "Sunshine in the Garden State: An Unlikely Leader in Solar Energy" that provides analysis of policies and renewable initiatives that have contributed to New Jersey's top five Solar State status.
The TerraVerde report explores adoption trends, policies and procedures in residential, commercial and industrial sectors for renewable energy as a solution to energy security and climate change with emphasis on the future role of utilities in power generation.
Specifically, the report attributes a reduction in the cost of solar photovoltaic (PV) module prices and new financing options at the Federal and State levels that have contributed to the high-growth trajectory for solar energy at a 252% increase since 2010.
"New Jersey's success with solar reflects a policy shift in the way state governments are approaching sustainability," said Richard Bookbinder, Managing Member of TerraVerde Capital Management LLC and author of the report. "The successful implementation of solar clearly reflects a changing energy landscape with opportunities for investment," continued Bookbinder.
The report notes that New Jersey has more than 1 GW of installed solar generating capacity due to best practices programs including the installation of solar panels on street poles, the transition of brownfields to solar fields and a culture of cooperation between State and companies to encourage solar usage and other forms of renewable energy.
Sample residential and high-profile utility and commercial solar projects include:
*Public Service Electric & Gas has added enough solar capacity to 200,000 poles to power 13,000 homes;
*FedEx has the nation's largest rooftop solar installation in the U.S. at a ground distribution center and enough capacity to produce 30% of the facility's power; and
*The New York Giants and Jets football teams enjoy power from solar at MetLife Stadium to illuminate the LED lights and provide additional power for the stadium's other clean power demands
As U.S. states remain creative in the approach to solar and consider regulatory and geographical climates issues, the report suggests a common need for utility companies to develop solar energy capacity on underutilized land.
"The path to sustainability is still a work in progress for New Jersey and it will have to continue to assess its developmental incentives and refine them accordingly," said Bookbinder. "However, New Jersey has demonstrated that bipartisanship and policy initiative are possible even with political gridlock in Washington D.C."

Wisc. Dems: Ad shows GOP thinks women belong in the kitchen
The Democratic Party of Wisconsin on Thursday blasted Republicans over a television advertisement attacking Rep. Donna Seidel, a candidate in the upcoming recall election for the 29th State Senate District.
The ad by the Republican State Leadership Committee accused Seidel of having the wrong "recipe" for Wisconsin.
"Ads like this one, funded by out-of-state special interest groups, are sexist and embarrassing," Zac Kramer, executive director for the State Senate Democratic Committee, said. "They should all be ashamed of their continued attacks on women. The ad continues the war on women that has been a popular talking point across the GOP platform."
"It is clear that the Republican party believes that women only belong in the kitchen and this should be disconcerting to every citizen in the 29th Senate District."
Seidel is running against Rep. Jerry Petrowski in the June 5 elections.
State Sen. Pam Galloway, the Republican who represented the 29th Senate District and faced a recall election, resigned from her seat in March.
Watch the ad, uploaded to YouTube on April 11, below:

As Stephen Crabb enters the Tory leadership contest, his colleague Maria Caulfield sums up his pitch as the 'blue collar' candidate in a piece for the Telegraph:
Stephen Crabb has a proven track record of being a One Nation Conservative who can cut across communities with his message of social justice for all.
Not just because he grew up on a council estate and was raised by his single mum or because he funded his way through university by working as a builder, but also because during his six years in government he has helped support named step sis loves me some of the most disadvantaged communities in Britain.'
But as author James Bloodworth (late of this parish) has noted, Stephen Crabb is, despite his roots, no friend of the working class.
The dry language of the online register of votes says it well. On welfare and benefits, Crabb has:
- Consistently voted for reducing housing benefit for social tenants deemed to have excess bedrooms, (which Labour describe as the 'bedroom tax')
- Consistently voted against raising welfare benefits at least in line with prices
- Consistently voted against paying higher benefits over longer periods for those unable to work due to illness or disability
- Consistently voted for making local councils responsible for helping those in financial need afford their council tax and reducing the amount spent on such support
- Consistently voted for a reduction in spending on welfare benefits
- Almost always voted against spending public money to create guaranteed jobs for young people who have spent a long time unemployed
And that's just for starters.
Crabb has voted for tax cuts for the richest, (specifically, those earning over £150,000), and voted against raising taxes for this income bracket.
He voted against a bankers' bonus tax, though he has voted for higher taxes on banks.
Oh, and he's voted consistently for a crackdown on trade unions, backing every restriction on union activities proposed by the government.
It's bad enough having Stephen Crabb as Secretary of State for Work and Pensions.
Could this phoney champion of 'social justice' be the next Prime Minister?

The Chilly Days of Fall
The little house was fairly bursting with good food stored away for the long winter. The pantry and the shed and the cellar were full, and so was the attic.
Laura and Mary must play in the house now, for it was cold outdoors and the brown leaves were all falling from the trees. The fire in the cookstove never went out. At night Pa banked it with ashes to keep the coals alive till morning.
The attic was a lovely place to play. The large, round, colored pumpkins made beautiful chairs and tables. The red peppers and the onions dangled overhead. The hams and the venison hung in their paper wrappings, and all the bunches of dried herbs, the spice herbs for cooking and the bitter herbs for medicine, gave the place a dusty-spicy smell.
Often the wind howled outside with a cold and lonesome sound. But in the attic Laura and Mary played house with the squashes and the pumpkins, and everything was snug and cosy.

Up until now, our only looks at Lawless, the new film by John Hillcoat (director of The Road and The Proposition), were set photos. While these stills gave us a good look at the costumes and settings, it was only a matter of time until we got our first official shots of the film (which, up until a few days ago, was called Wettest County).
Coming from EW (via The Playlist), this still shows us Tom Hardy and Shia LaBeouf as two of the three Bondurant brothers (the third of whom is played by Jason Clarke), who comprise the heart of this story of bootlegging and violence in Prohibition-era Virginia. Based on Matt Bondurant's book — which is at least grounded in real events — Lawless follows the trio as they produce and run bootleg whiskey out of Franklin County, one of the most whiskey-rich counties in the country. Not only do they have to protect their business from the Alcohol Tax Unit, but also thieves, cops, and attempts at exploitation from county officials. And what better way to protect an enterprise than through violence?
I'm in the middle of the book now, and I can say that this image is a pretty close approximation to the ones conjured in my head. It's a thrilling read thus far, and the setting and story seem perfectly suited to Hillcoat's sensibilities as a director. Hardy is a bit more muscled than the book's Forrest, but given the character's personality — and how well Hardy would fit it — I think I can look past that small bit of infidelity to the source. LaBeouf is a wild card for me, but I have faith that he can get across Jack's confusion and fledgling attempts at independence.
Also starring Jessica Chastain, Mia Wasikowska, Guy Pearce, and Gary Oldman, Lawless opens on August 31st.
Anyway, that's my two-cents on this picture as a reader of the book, what do you think?

A closing 15-foot eagle putt had given Garcia - playing in Europe for the first time since The Open in July - an eight under par 64 and the clubhouse lead at Centro Nacional.
But playing in the last group of the day Quiros, not even a full European Tour member, blasted an incredible 10-birdie 62.
The 30-year-old from Marbella, who earned a place in the event off the Spanish Order of Merit, has made six trips to the Tour qualifying school and only made it through once.
That was three years ago and even on the "second division" Challenge circuit this year he has yet to record a top-40 finish.
Garcia remains firm favourite for the title as a result, especially with playing partner - and former Ryder Cup partner - Luke Donald managing only a one under 71.
Third place is held by England's 21-year-old Oliver Fisher, at last finding form again after missing his last seven halfway cuts and 15 of the last 19.
Fisher, who came up through the amateur ranks with Rory McIlroy and was the youngest-ever player to appear in the Walker Cup, is down in 152nd place on the Tour money list and needing to climb into the top 115 to keep his card.
Anthony Wall, who injured his left shoulder playing for Britain and Ireland against Continental Europe two weeks ago, played through the pain for a 66.
He is tied for fourth with Scot David Drysdale and three more English players - Ross McGowan and 2007 Walker Cup team-mates Danny Willett and David Horsey.

The given lengths of the set-squares are, in the case of 45° set-squares the hypotenuse; in the case of 30°/60° set-squares it is the longer of the legs. Bevelled and straight edges are usually not so great for ink drawings because the ink tends to be drawn under the set-square or ruler and when these are removed smudges can result. On a straight edge clean lines can be made with a little practice by holding the ink pen at an angle. The bevelled edge, when turned over on the other side, becomes an ink edge. (This only in the case of set-squares with no knob or ones where the knob can be removed.) |

What are 'entry exit points'?
(By the way! This is really of more interest to acupuncturists than ordinary mortals but even ordinary mortals sometimes get interested!)
These points lie on acupuncture channels, at or towards the beginning or end of the channel.
In the 24-hour cycle during which Qi is said to circulate through all the channels, it leaves each channel at its exit point and proceeds to the entry point of the next channel.
Here is a list of the generally accepted points:
1. In most cases the first and last points on an acupuncture channel (or meridian) are where the qi respectively enters or leaves the channel.
But not always: some traditions of acupuncture - for example the Japanese tradition - maintain that there are some important exceptions: LU-7, LI-4, ST-42, KI-22, P-8, SJ-22, GB-41. You'll see that these points are used in the table above.
2. The original book on which traditional acupuncture theory and treatment is based is called the Ling Shu (written probably 2200 years ago).
Chapter 16 there describes the movement of qi round the circuit made by the meridians, each of which is a link in a continuous chain. Where a channel connects with the next one is through the exit point of the first channel and the entry point of the second.
3. They provide another way to balance the channels between themselves. For instance, often Liver qi is high and acting to the disadvantage or detriment of Lung qi which is deficient. There are various ways to balance out these two channels and their respective levels of qi.
Using the entry exit points (in this case, Qimen LIV-14 and Zhongfu LU-1 provides another, often simpler and more elegant method.
4. An entry exit point obstruction is usually suspected either from pulse diagnosis where there is a clear mismatch between the pulse energies or qualities between two consecutive channels on the circuit, or when a series of treatments stops working with a patient.
Many acupuncturists are never taught this method so don't notice it or know how to treat it.
5. Excess energy in one channel pulse and deficiency in the next channel pulse suggest this treatment. Each channel has its own set of symptoms so these may be suggestive.
6. Where two consecutive channels always have the same energy or pulse quality it suggests that there may an obstruction between these channels and the one before or the one after them.
For instance if Large Intestine and Stomach pulse qualities and size remain the same, the acupuncturist might consider using the exit point of the Lung meridian and the entry point of the Large Intestine meridian, or using the exit point of the Stomach channel and the entry point of the Spleen channel.
This is because the Lung and Spleen channels are respectively before and after the Large Intestine and Stomach channel duo.
7. Both tonifying and sedating a channel and its qi can be achieved by using the entry exit points either together or individually. For example, a channel's entry point might be used to tonify the qi of the channel and indirectly that of its related zangfu organ.
8. However, in eight of the channels the entry points lie at or near the finger or toe tips and are often painful: they would certainly awake the qi, but might stimulate the patient too much (!) so are used less, or an adjacent point is used.
Similarly, in women, the first point of the Pericardium, P-1, Tainchi, lies 1 cun lateral to the centre of her nipple so may not be appropriate to use, in which case P-2 Tianquan might be used instead.
This suggests that at the end of some channels, several points might be used to ease the Qi flow out of the first channel towards the second channel. Or perhaps this only applies to points on the torso, but I'm inclined to think this applies more to points at the extremities, ie on the hand or foot.
9. Accidents, surgery and other blocks impede free movements of qi both along channels and between one and the next. (They usually also cause Blood Stasis.)
Entry Exit points supply a way to stimulate free movement of qi in these cases. Sometimes use of an appropriate entry or exit point can make a huge difference to a patient's health.
10. Similarly, skin irritation or signs of discomfort in the area between two consecutive meridians also suggest this treatment.
For example, a patient who had been making rather slow progress for a while one day said that despite many visits to her dentist, with X-rays and other investigations, she still suffered from mild ongoing toothache on her left side.
The location was close to the end of the Small Intestine channel on that side, and I noticed that her left eye was less open than the other.
I probably should have noticed before, but, well... !
On checking her pulses I realized that her Small intestine pulse seemed stronger than that of her Bladder pulse. Treating the exit point of the Small Intestine channel on her left and the entry point of her left Bladder channel returned equality to the pulses.
She later reported that the pain never returned. (Whether her left eye opened more I don't recall: sorry.)
11. Similarly when disease or symptoms appear in two zangfu that are consecutive on the qi circuit, this treatment may be a solution.
12. Normally the points are treated bilaterally, even if the problem is on one side only.
13. Exit entry point use sometimes conflicts with the apparent purpose of the points from other points of view.
For example, Shaochang HE-9 is both the exit point of the Heart channel, but also, being its Wood point, its tonification point in the 5 element (or phase) system view.
(picture ...Antwerp Railway Station)
Suppose, the Heart energy was too high and the Small Intestine pulse energy too low, one might think that using HE-9 would tonify Heart qi still further.
Relax! Used with the Small Intestine SI-1 as exit-entry points it works just fine and the Heart qi disperses and balances out nicely.
14. In one case, that of Large Intestine and Lung, the exit entry points may be used together for other purposes such as when there is an invasion of Wind-cold.
15. After being successfully used as entry exit points, there is normally an excellent change in the patient's treatment progress.

Wigwam - Dark Album (1977) [Reissue 1991] Repost
Wigwam - Dark Album (1977) [Reissue 1991]
MP3 CBR 320 kbps | 145.09 MB | SCANS | Time: 52:33
Genre: Rock, Progressive Rock, Jazz Rock, Soft Rock | Label: Love Records/Siboney | Cat.#: LRCD 227
This is the seventh and last Wigwam studio album for this time, because after the release of this album, they just fade away as a group, and they made their last Scandinavian tour in December 1977.
The final album that Wigwam recorded at the end of their long association with Love Records was to be the Dark Album, an album that was involved in a series of upheavals for the band ending in their ultimate demise. The original title for the album as meant to be Daemon Duncans' Request, yet executives at Virgin Records on hearing the finished product refused to release it on the grounds that it was too "low-key and non-commercial". One must realise that the period of 1977 was when punk music was at its zenith and most major labels, including Virgin, were more willing to back a punk band rather than a classic/progressive rock band. Thus Wigwam were sent back to the studio and the album, re-titled as Dark Album, was released in late 1977. By this time the band had already split up for a second time. Surprisingly, considering the circumstances, the album is a strong one and definitely more cohesive than their previous outing, Lucky Golden Stripes and Starpose.
From the opening track, Oh Marlene!, one can immediately sense that the album would feature less of the complex arrangements that the band would normally have included in their repertoire and instead what one does get on the album is more of a watered down Wigwam. The pressure of Virgin Records on the band to come up with more commercial material seems to have had an effect on the band's creative output, something which is also visible when one looks at the songwriting credits where Jim Pembroke, the band's more commercial songwriter has a hand in all bar one of the album tracks.
Notwithstanding the pressure, the band still managed to come up with a piece of work that in my opinion surpasses Lucky Golden Stripes And Starpose in terms of quality. Cheap Evening Return has an incredibly moving chorus and is considered as one of the album's masterpieces though the most popular number was The Silver Jubilee which saw the return of Jukka Gustavson, albeit as a guest musician, to the Wigwam fold.
Once again the guitar work of Pekka Rechardt stands out on various tracks. The almost hard rock riff of The Item Is The Totem is a sure sign that the times in the musical world were changing, a factor that also appears on The Vegetable Rumble that features a riff comparable to Thin Lizzy. While tracks such as Horace's Aborted Rip-Off Scheme showed that Pembroke had lost none of his English humour that he translated so ably into music, somehow though, the band must have felt that the end was nigh for Wigwam. On no other album is there such a large number of slow heavy paced tracks. The Big Farewell, sounds as if the band were singing their own demise while the album closer Helsinki Nights, another uncharacteristic Wigwam track, has the band bidding a definite farewell to their faithful. On the whole the Wigwam on Dark Album are a very different band that appeared on any of their previous albums. Something had changed within the members, especially Pembroke and Rechardt, that affected their musical approach. The end of progressive rock as a popular format seems to have hit the band hard without allowing them chance to recover. That coupled with the rejection by Virgin Records and the bankruptcy of Love Records laid the ground for the band splitting up. The CD version of the album also includes two bonus tracks one of which, Grass For Blades originally was on Jim Pembroke's Wicked Ivory album,and the original title track Daemon Duncetan's Request. ~ Review by Nigel Camilleri

Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) is the third or fourth leading cause of end stage renal disease among the primary glomerulonephritis. Hyperactivation of the alternative complement pathway and familial forms for all types of MPGN have been reported suggesting that genetic abnormalities may play a predisposing role to the disease. In recent case reports Eculizumab, a monoclonal antibody that binds to C5 to prevent formation of the membrane attack complex ,is a safe and effective therapy.

Mother Vanguard
this wiki
The Mother Vanguard is a ship that appears in the Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam manga. It serves as the mother ship of the Crossbone Vanguard space pirates.
Technological Characteristics
Beauty of exterior design was emphasized in the Mother Vanguard as it was built with the noble principles of Cosmo aristocratism. The ship is based off sailing ships from the Age of Discovery, and features sails and a huge golden carved female figure on the bow. The Mother Vanguard incorporated both luxury and cutting-edge level technology into the design. In addition to thermonuclear rocket engines, the Mother Vanguard also contained a Minovsky Drive, which allowed for swifter interplanetary travel. The Mother Vanguard also features a beam shield that completely covers the entire hull for a limit of 20 minutes. For weapons the Mother Vanguard is equipped with up to thirty mega particle cannons alongside the port and starboard sides (in similar vein to the broadside cannons of sailing ships), as well as several anti-aircraft guns and missile launchers mounted in the mast.
System Features
- Minovsky Drive System
- Developed from the Minovsky Craft System, the Minovsky Drive System is a new form of propulsion technology that allows an equipped machine to accelerate to extremely high speeds both in space and in the Earth's atmosphere. The speed that can be achieved is so great that an equipped mobile suit can travel from the 600 million kilometers separating the Earth Sphere from the Jupiter Sphere in about 150 hours while ships designed to make such a journey would require a minimum of three months when the two planets are at their closest position to one another. One of the primary advantages of the Minovsky Drive System is that it does not require burning conventional fuel to operate and instead relies solely on the Minovsky particles produced by the Minovsky fusion reactor. Because the reactor continually produces Minovsky particles the Minovsky Drive System theoretically has no operating limit as long as all components are working properly.
- The Minovsky Drive System was first developed by the Buch Concern and installed it aboard the ship Mother Vanguard as the "Sail of Light." In the year U.C. 0136 both SNRI and Anaheim Electronics were both developing Minovsky Drive technology for mobile suits nicknamed "Wings of Light," though SNRI developed the technology on their own while Anaheim developed it by studying the remains of the Mother Vanguard. Because of the events of U.C. 0136 all prototypes and data were lost and it would not be until 17 years later when the technology would be available again.

Hi LJ folks, -- Paul, Bristol,Rhode Island |

You'll want to run the panel bit as slow as you can with your router and take maybe 3 passes to get to the final dimension. As you said, practice on scrap first to get a feel for it before you run the risk of ruining the panel. -- Julian, Park Forest, IL |
#2 posted 10-07-2009 07:49 PM |
Paul, here are recommended speeds for router bits based on size: 1/8" to 1" 24,000 to 18,000 rpm I assume that your panel bit is 3 1/2" so your router will need to be set at 10,000 rpm. It would not hurt to try this on scrap at first. As far as stock removal here is the way I do it: you zero out the bearing on the bit and raise it about 1/4" above the table. Then route the edges of the panel beginning with the end grain first. Once all four sides are completed then raise the bit a little less than 1/4" and follow the same process. On the next sequence take a light passes checking the panel's fit in the dado until you get the edge thickness that you want. Bear in mind that this should be a little snug since you will need to sand and finish the panel before gluing up the assembled panel. This is done to prevent the glue from the cope and stick glue up from gluing the panel as well which needs to float in the panel assembly. -- Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful- Joshua Marine |

Scott, your answers are always so thorough and informative, I don't know how you find time for woodworking. On behalf of all us LJ's, I just wanted to point this out and say "Thanks!" -- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood" |
#6 posted 10-08-2009 01:23 AM |
Great info , Scott : ) Thank you for the details . My only question that has plagued me for years , is , if you don't have a variable speed router with a dial indicating the router bit speed , then how do you know what RPM you're turning the bit at ? I have a router speed control for my PC routers , but there are no speed markings on it that indicate the speed. : ( -- I'm absolutely positive that I couldn't be more uncertain! |

The American Education Exhibition 2012 will take place in Hanoi and HCMC on March 15th and 17th, respectively.
This largest international education exhibition is organised in Vietnam twice a year by the Institute of International Education (IIE), one of the world's largest and most experienced international education and training non-profit organisations.
This year, the event draws the participation of more than 40 American well-known universities and colleges.
During the program, Vietnamese students and their parents have a good chance to meet with American school representatives to learn more about their courses, tuition fees and scholarships.
According to Ms. Helen Huntley, former Director of the IIE, most Vietnamese students choose the USA as the best destination for learning abroad for its education quality, prestige and internationally-recognised qualifications.
In recent years, Vietnam always has been at the top of the list of foreign countries in terms of the number of students studying in the USA. In 2011, Vietnam ranked 8th for the number of students at US colleges.

MP, Darlington
Jenny Chapman is a Labour MP, and on the vast majority of issues votes the same way as other Labour MPs.
This is a selection of Jenny Chapman's votes.
We have lots more plain English analysis of Jenny Chapman's voting record on issues like health, welfare, taxation and more. Visit Jenny Chapman's full vote analysis page for more.
Jenny Chapman has hardly ever rebelled against their party in the current parliament. Find out more.
Last updated: 22 Feb 2017It is reassuring to hear the Minister's words on this issue. He will know the level of concern across this House and out there in the country. If he has not read it, I recommend to him the recent House of Lords report, page 63 in particular, which states that we cannot assume that this matter will become part of the article 50 negotiations. If that does not happen, he must act quickly...
This dispute is, on the surface, about pay, and the Minister has said an awful lot about that, but he must realise that it is also about unhappiness that has been developing in the Prison Service for many years now, principally about safety at work. The levels of assaults on prison officers, suicide and self-harm are unprecedented. Fixing that is how the Government are going to resolve this...
The Minister opened his remarks by saying that the JMC was not on a statutory footing. That is precisely the point of our new clause. He has given us warm words and platitudes about his respect for the devolved Administrations, but I am afraid they are not enough, and we will press the new clause to a Division.

Tuesday Team-Up: Sub-Mariner and Captain Marvel
4 comments:
Holy Moley!
OOPS! Wrong CM! This is my favorite series Sal Buscema drew, beside's his Avengers. His art was inked really well in his too short stint on old Subby. I was & still am a huge Sub-Mariner fan!I especially loved Sub-Mariner #34 # the first teaming up of the Defenders VS The Avengers no less!
Sal's Subby VS Hercules was another favorite of mine. Hey Groovy one, how about a Hercules week or Olympians/Asgardians week? You could even thrown in DC Comics Hercules Unbound series maybe.- AnonymousMay 14, 2012 at 7:35 PM
Awwwwesome! This may be the only the only piece of THE Marvel himself, Captain Marvel, Mar-Vell, that I don't have! Thank you for posting this! :) Should start a petition to get him in the movies, the character was always made for the screen!
All other commentary and insanity copyright GroovyAge, Ltd.
As for the rest of ya, the purpose of this blog is to (re)introduce you to the great comics of the 1970s. If you like what you see, do what I do--go to a comics shop, bookstore, e-Bay or whatever and BUY YOUR OWN!

Are there concerns pertaining to everyday life, joy in addition to achieving success? Most of us will encounter various problems of course, if could actually find free advise, does it help? I'd say it helps if you come out of your safe place to find the possible and opportunities who are around you.
Anything that occurs us is situated purpose. And a lot of times, one thing results in another. The key is going to be tend not to dwell previously and take into consideration what you would like. Learn from the past and repeat earlier times mistakes again. You have to remain focused and persevere inspite of the difficulties you will come across. Look at the life, happiness and success you would like. To realize self improvement, attempt to target your mental and emotional side. Emotions dominate our actions and reactions, though we do not would like it to happen sometimes.
Positive emotions can be a lifelong goal for a lot of of us concerned about emotional health insurance and self improvement. One of the greatest conditions individuals have is to put their positive emotions behind their negativity. However, there isn't any clear way to ignore a negative experience and then try to replace it which has a positive one. It does not work using this method in your life. As an example, once your dog dies, you'd be heartbroken. You'd probably probably buy another dog nevertheless the sorrow continues.
Self-Improvement and Loa is closely related. Regulations Of Attraction works this way: dominate your thinking on what you would like, happy along with the universe will magically conspire to get it to you. Try to visualize all of them with the proper focus along with the right emotion. In case your way of self-improvement is always to have a very want to lead a meaningful life, to become happy and successful and feeling good about it, the universe will response to your request that you are creating through your feelings and thoughts.

no longer forgotten music
Nice music, hard to get

Tex And The Happy Mime Theatre - CQS (tape, Days Of Chesterfield, 1985)
'5 Pieces for amplified thumb pianos and voices' it says on the cover, which I guess is what is. Very strange music, a bit ambient indeed, but above all strange.

I combined ideas this morning.
Identified location of all holes yesterday when they were active. Three holes within a ten foot diameter area. Marked locations with sticks. Set out a full can of foaming insecticide and a gallon of old gas for predawn assault. Set alarm clock for 5:30am. Got up, suited up with jeans, boots, coat, bandana over face, hat, and gloves. Grabbed my wife's three favorite Pyrex glass bowls. Recovered liquids of mass destruction from garage. Located holes in the dark, initially covered all holes and observed for a minute. No activity, but I could see "guards" in the two largest holes. Put a third of a gallon in each hole and recovered. Observed for another minute, nothing. Capped off each hole with a third of the can of spray. Left covered for the day. I can't wait to get home tonight and see the carnage. The body count coming in and out last night was astonishing. Easily 50 per minute, but they were not coming out at the same pace. I'd love to dig it up just to see it, but I'd rather just put more gas down the pipe and light it. |

circling the drain
I just noticed you are in Fenton. I am as well and I have a ton of these ground bees in my yard, as does my father. My colony has to be huge as the holes are spread around an area at least 25-35 ft apart.

As I've read, sometimes they are connected underground, and sometimes they are separate. I don't know, I just want to kill all of the bastards. If you hear a giant WHOOSHING sound and have trouble breathing for a minute, later to tonight, it just means that I lit the hives up. :thermonuclear:

The problem with burning them out is that although it makes you feel good you can't get the entire hive. I had tried that method several times. The pyrex bowls over the holes is still somewhat satisfying since you can see the little bastards looking to the sky but can't get out and the best part is you kill them all this way.

All I had was some wasp and hornet killer so I sprayed it into the opening of their hive. There are now a dozen of them at the hole in the ground but not going in. I thought they only lived in wood. |

I hope it shows up better on a computer screen, but you can see them buzzing around and the hole in the ground is in the middle of the photo in the grass. |

I work out
How it works is the dust gets tracked into the nest and kills the queen. When there is no queen there is no colony and no hive. It will take a day or two but it will kill them. Just an FYI also, if its the same bees/hornets/wasps or what have you I had, those fuckers are relentless. I ran into my garage closed the door and ran in the house with the door closed behind me. I still got stung about 4-5 times and they where swarming outside the garage door and the door into my house. Good luck and be careful. |

I'd suggest the service costs too much if people go to these extents not to hire pros. But I'm sure you'll just say I'm wrong so I won't suggest it.

Cost is relative. You can probably get some guy to "rebuild" your transmission in his back yard for $50 or someone to tattoo you in your kitchen for ten bucks. Heck, I'm sure you could even find a surgeon that advertises on craigslist. Are any of those a good idea? No!
The reason you hire a pro is to get the job done right the first time. And you pay for quality like that. "Bee Killer" in a can is just about as effective as "Engine Restorer" in a can. |

I'm allergic to these beasts.
I found a yellow-jacket highway travelling to my house. I found their entrance and a nest in the ceiling, behind insulation in the basement. It took me 3 days to win the war. First what I found was one nest about 6" round. I went in with a "Bee Killer" in a can in one hand and flashlight in another. I emptied the can, waited and watched them fall to the ground. There was still loud buzzing in the ceiling. It was night by then so I waited until the next day to purchase more "Bee Killer" in a can cans. Next day I went in there with a broom stick, can of "bee killer" and a flashlight. I peeled the insulation slightly to reveal the next nest and emptied out the can on them. Again a ton of them fell to the ground. However, there was still loud buzzing of the angry yellow-jackets in the ceiling. Once again, I was out of cans. Today, I filled my 2 gallon sprayer tank with Cyonara 9.7. Realized that a t-shirt and shorts would not cut it anymore, so I dressed like a skier. I also needed a shop light to point at the spot in the ceiling so I would have my hands free, one for the broom stick, the other for sprayer wand. The battle raged on as I uncovered, one by one, nest #3, 4, 5 and 6. Not sure how many of the german yellow jackets I killed, but this is what was left of them on the basement floor: |

2006 Dodge Caravan
Compare Dealer Clearance Prices and SAVE
2006 Dodge Caravan Review
Popular for a reason: it delivers a smooth ride at an affordable price.
Reviewed by Automotive on
Introduced in 1984, the Dodge Caravan has sold over ten million models. It is similar to the Grand Caravan but has a shorter wheelbase. Last redesigned in 2001, it continues to offer good value for the economically-minded family. The minivan features good performance and handling; however, despite some quality improvements, mechanical issues continue to plague this vehicle. Therefore, it is advisable to get the extended warranty for anyone planning to keep the car past the basic three-year or 36,000-mile warranty. While there is more competition from foreign automakers, it still boasts smooth handling, good looks, and a comfortable ride.
The Range
Engines: 2.4-liter four-cylinder, 3.3-liter V-6
Transmission: four-speed automatic
Models: Dodge Caravan SE, Dodge Caravan SXT, Dodge Caravan C/V
What's New
The 2006 Dodge Caravan has a handful of updated safety features, including a strengthened roof and side structure, side-curtain airbags, and a loose-fuel-cap warning indicator. As far as entertainment goes, the 2006 model is fitted with a new DVD-radio that plays CDs, MP3 CDs, and DVDs.
The 2006 Dodge Caravan features the familiar Dodge crosshair grille with a U-shaped design and black bars. The front fascia has a molded license plate pocket and fog lamps. There is an optional rear spoiler available on the SE and SXT models. The SE features 15-inch aluminum wheels, while the SXT upgrades to 16-inch wheels. The tires are all-season, and there is a temporary spare mounted under the body. Overall, it measures 190 inches long and 69 inches high to the top of the roof rack.
The 2006 Dodge Caravan is not a minivan full of lush interior appointments, so buyers must be willing to get by with just the basics. It seats seven comfortably, and the seats are made from Super High Density Foam, which was developed by NASA for the space program. All models feature front reading lights and dual vanity mirrors. Also included is a cargo net, as well as front and rear 12-volt power outlets. There are only two trims available: the base SE and the upgraded SXT. The C/V is a cargo van designed for those seeking a reasonably-priced vehicle for commercial use. The SE features dual-sliding doors with an alert system, a 66-watt CD stereo with four speakers, and bench seating in the second and third rows. The SXT includes those amenities plus dual-zone manual air-conditioning with separate rear controls, power door locks and keyless entry, second-row bucket seats, tilt steering, sunscreen glass, and a split-bench third row. Power windows, locks, and mirrors are standard on the SXT and optional on the SE. The SXT has an optional trip computer, compass, and outside temperature display. Options on both models include a rear-seat DVD entertainment system and power-adjustable pedals. Overall, it is not as well-equipped as some of its higher-priced competitors. When all the rows are up, it has 15 cubic feet of cargo space. When the second and third row seats are removed, that space opens up to 142 cubic feet.
Performance & Handling
The 2006 Dodge Caravan SE comes with a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine hooked up to a four-speed automatic transmission. This combination produces 150 horsepower (hp) and 167 lb-ft of torque. Considering the size, it is simply not powerful enough. Thus, it is almost essential that the buyer upgrade to the SXT, which features a 3.3-liter, V-6 engine that provides 180 hp and 210 lb-ft of torque. In addition to the power boost, the upgraded engine also runs quieter at high speeds. The V-6 also comes standard on the C/V. The only transmission available on any model is a simple four-speed automatic. All-wheel drive (AWD) is not available.
The 2006 Dodge Caravan is equipped with standard front disc and rear drum brakes, but the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is only available as an option on the SXT. All models have driver-knee airbags, while full-length side-curtain airbags are optional on the SE and SXT. Traction and stability control are not available. In terms of safety features, the Caravan comes with child-seat anchors, rear-door child safety locks, passenger-airbag occupant-sensing deactivation, and a low-tire-pressure warning gauge. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) awards the Dodge Caravan a perfect five-out-of-five rating for driver and front-passenger frontal impacts, a four-out-of-five rating for front-occupant side impacts, and a five-out-of-five rating for rear-occupant side impacts. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gives the Caravan its top rating of ""good"" for restraints, and a lower rating of ""acceptable"" overall.

The CrossFit program is unique in its aims, prescriptions, methodologies, and implementation, writes Coach Greg Glassman in "Understanding CrossFit."
The aims, prescription, methodology, implementation, and adaptations of CrossFit are collectively and individually unique, defining of CrossFit, and instrumental in our program's successes in diverse applications.
From the beginning, the aim of CrossFit has been to forge a broad, general, and inclusive fitness. We sought to build a program that would best prepare trainees for any physical contingency—prepare them not only for the unknown but for the unknowable. Looking at all sport and physical tasks collectively, we asked what physical skills and adaptations would most universally lend themselves to performance advantage. Capacity culled from the intersection of all sports demands would quite logically lend itself well to all sport. In sum, our specialty is not specializing. The second issue ("What is Fitness?") of the CrossFit Journal details this perspective.
Prescription & Methodology
The CrossFit prescription is "constantly varied, high-intensity, functional movement." Functional movements = universal motor recruitment patterns; performed in a wave of contraction from core to extremity; and are compound movements. They are natural, effective, and efficient locomotions of body and external objects. No aspect of functional movements is more important than their capacity to move large loads over long distances, quickly. These three attributes (load, distance, and speed) uniquely qualify functional movements for the production of high power. Intensity is defined exactly as power, and intensity is the independent variable most commonly associated with maximizing favorable adaptation to exercise. Recognizing that the breadth and depth of a program's stimulus will determine the breadth and depth of the adaptation it elicits, our prescription of functionality and intensity is constantly varied. We believe that preparation for random physical challenges—i.e., unknown and unknowable events—is at odds with fixed, predictable, and routine regimens. The methodology that drives CrossFit is entirely empirical. We believe that meaningful statements about safety, efficacy, and efficiency, the three most important and interdependent facets of any fitness program, can be supported only by measurable, observable, repeatable facts. This approach is "evidence-based fitness." The CrossFit methodology depends on full disclosure of methods, results, and criticism, and we've employed the Internet to support these values. Our charter is open source, making co-developers out of participating coaches, athletes, and trainers through a spontaneous and collaborative online community. CrossFit is empirically driven, clinically tested, and community developed.
In implementation, CrossFit is, quite simply, a sport – the "sport of fitness." We've learned that harnessing the natural camaraderie, competition, and fun of sport or game yields an intensity that can not be matched by other means. The late Col. Jeff Cooper observed that "the fear of sporting failure is worse then the fear of death." It is our observation that men WILL die for points. Using whiteboards and Wodify as scoreboards, keeping accurate scores and records, running a clock, and precisely defining the rules and standards for performance, we will not only motivate unprecedented output but derive both relative and absolute metrics at every workout; this data has important value well beyond motivation. Our commitment to evidence-based fitness, publicly posting performance data, co-developing our program in collaboration with other coaches, and our open-source charter in general has well positioned us to garner important lessons from our program- to learn precisely and accurately, that is, about the adaptations elicited by CrossFit programing. What we have discovered is that CrossFit increases work capacity across broad time and model domains. This is a discovery of great import and has come to motivate our programming and refocus our efforts. This far-reaching increase in work capacity supports our initially stated aims of building a broad, general, and inclusive fitness program. We have come to see increase work capacity as the holy grail of performance improvement and all other common metrics like VO2 max, lactate threshold, body composition, and even strength and flexibility as being correlates – derivatives,even. We'd not trade improvements in any other fitness metric for a decrease in work capacity. . . . Read More from the CrossFit Journal.

Can anyone help me? I need to save a picture from a text message that was sent to me but it won't let me. Need some advice please.
I couldn't find an option either. You can save as wall paper or contact icon. Strange there is no option for this.
Try selecting the text area of the message instead of the picture area. That, strangely, seemed to work for me.
Speaking of that and being an Android noob, how do I access files I saved to my SD card, using just the phone !
Yeah, if you long press on the message itself instead of the picture then you'll be given an option to save the image. And to browse the files on your sd card, you'll have to install a file explorer. The market has a good few of them, just take your pick. I recommend ESFileExplorer, it's simple and does the trick.
Get the app called, I think it's, Save MMS. I'll double check Edit: yeah Save MMS is it. It will also make a folder in your gallery of saves pictures from the texts for easy access.
Save MMS works and the ES File explorer works as well makes it easier to "fumble" through your files and save picture messages.

Home › Forums › Off Piste › Fishing & Tenkara › A 2.5 Oz. Ultralight Fishing Net
Jun 20, 2011 at 10:58 am #1275693
For those who want to bring a fishing net while backpacking, I just got the Traillite Designs titanium nets in stock:
They weight in at only 2.5 oz. and because they're flat and compact, they pack easily into any backpack.
Jun 20, 2011 at 3:20 pm #1751389In all the years I've fished, I've never used a net!
Jun 20, 2011 at 6:19 pm #1751442I've fished with a net and without. Caught plenty of fish both ways.
In general, nets are most useful in two situations: When the fish is big enough that it's pushing the limits of your tackle, especially your line strength; when you are fishing catch-and-release.
With catch-and-release the right net helps to avoid injuring the fish (no tight-fisted squeezes) while unhooking and releasing.
Jun 20, 2011 at 6:59 pm #1751466Stephen,
Good points. In general, I think using a net on even smaller fish is just a better catch & release practice. I can keep the fish in the water so they can breathe after their battle while I get my camera out to take a picture. Holding a fish out of water after they've just run the equivalet of a marathon and are gasping for oxygen is just torture. And, often" I can remove the hook without touching the fish so I don't remove any of their protective slime.
More and more, I'm convinced that bringing a net is a good idea. It's also a multipurpose item that doubles as a nymph net so you can see what the trout are eating. I've even successfully used it to catch adult mayflies and caddis mid-air so I could inspect them up close. Pretty nice!
Jun 20, 2011 at 9:42 pm #1751543These nets with the very small mesh are indeed great for sampling bugs in the stream! And if one of my granddaughters was along, she'd likely want to use it to catch butterflies! (I actually encourage her interest in butterflies, but we don't catch any!)
These days I hardly ever fish without a net – the main exception being while backpacking! Too heavy – until now! I saw them on Chris' site first (sorry, Jason!), and can hardly wait until it arrives!
Ebira, Trico, and Ti Net – what a great combo!
Jun 21, 2011 at 4:30 am #1751574Hi Stephen,
No problem. Chris carries the tenkara style nets with the angled hoop. I carry the straight "Western" version which is meant for easier packing while backpacking. They're 2 different versions of the same great design. Let us know how you like it!
Jun 21, 2011 at 5:00 am #1751575I enjoyed Chris Stewarts (www.tenkarabum.com) review comment regarding carrying a net when backpacking;
"These are probably the lightest nets you'll ever find and make it much more reasonable for even ultralight backpackers to take a net. I know for a fact that I have lost fish, nice fish, from not having a net with me. If I was back-packing and counting on (or even hoping for) fish for dinner, I'd bring a net."
TrailLite DesignsJul 15, 2011 at 2:37 am #1759550I agree with Jason on the C&R aspects. My views are: with a de-barbed hook and net I often catch and release a fish very quickly (under 20 secs when tenkara or czech nymphing with 6X or 7X) once within reach. if catching by hand, you need to tire the fish out much longer to avoid a breakage or grab them while still feisty, which risks damage. taking them to shore to breach them is longer still and often damages them on rocks or knocks their slime off. This is often even more exacerbated by a tenkara rod (or very light 6x-7x tippet on western rig), due to the need to really tire a fish instead of grabbing it in a net early on. further, a net allows you to remove a hook without even touching the fish, and when ready they swim off much stronger (normally with a dart, rather than the slow wander that is common from the hand helds (esp for photos).

In the popular cartoon Futurama, a maze of vacuum-powered suction tubes is used to transport people around the city of New New York – but did you know that a similar system is currently in use under Roosevelt Island in present-day NYC? OK, so it's far less advanced and it carries trash around instead of people, but it's capable of moving garbage from buildings around at speeds of up to 60 miles an hour. The Automated Vacuum Collection System (AVAC) has been so successful on the island that the city is thinking about taking the tech city-wide, eliminating the need for garbage trucks as well as the associated traffic and emissions.
