Muckle Green Holm is an uninhabited island in the North Isles of the Orkney archipelago in Scotland. It is roughly 28 hectares (0.11 sq mi) in extent and rises to 28 metres (92 ft) above sea level, the summit having a trig point. The literal meaning of the name is somewhat contradictory. 'Holm' is from the Old Norse holmr, meaning a small and rounded islet.[4] 'Muckle' is Scots for 'big' or 'large' so it's a big small island. To the south lies Little Green Holm, and between the two is the Sound of Green Holms. Eastward is a strait called Fall of Warness between Muckle Green Holm and the much larger island of Eday. In these waters the European Marine Energy Centre have installed tidal power testing equipment.[5]
Muckle Green Holm has a great cormorant colony and a population of European otters.[2]

Activity and Interests
Upper (Ano) and Lower (Kato) Pavliana Corfu: where nature paints!
The nature of Corfu is superb. Probably when the Almighty was creating the world and saw Corfu, He grabbed the artistic inspiration and began to paint beautiful landscapes and villages. Thus all the villages of Corfu are lovely touches in a vast green background, blending with the calm blue of the Ionian Sea.
Such a touch of the great painter, are both villages of Corfu, Ano and Kato Pavliana.
The villages are located on the slopes of the mountain Pavliana. They are characterized by old stone houses and narrow neighborhoods. These villages are bordering with Pentati village, Saint Matthew and Garouna. The villages are also close to some beaches such as the Paramonas, Agios Gordios and Saint Nicholas.
In the old days, houses in Pavliana were built mainly of stone and other durable materials to withstand earthquakes. The roof tops were constructing by Byzantine tiles. They had cellars (storage) but the furniture in the houses was minimal. Even today, they use the famous ognistres (oven tool), limekiln on and bougiates (manufacture of charcoal).
Tradition flows through dance and music on the island of Corfu and the Pavliana residents expressed themselves through this tradition. Many of them have composed songs, while during festivals held in the village, people are dancing with handmade costumes of Corfu. In the village there are two Cultural Associations. The Environmental Association and the Association of Forest Protection; members are responsible for the protection of the natural wealth of the village. Founded in 2005-2006 and belongs to the chapel of Prophet Elias and crucifixes. The Cultural Association's main objective is also the protection of the local cultural wealth, and it is expressed through the organization of theatrical performances in the village.
Nearby Beaches:
The small village of Agios Gordios is surrounded by green olive-clad mountains that lead down to a long golden sandy beach with crystal clear water. At the village you can find everything you might need. There are many hotels, apartments, studios, restaurants, bars, shops, supermarkets and all the kind of services.There is a full range of restaurants offering a variety of tastes including Traditional Greek, Mediterranean, international and Mexican; a few of these are by the sea. The quality and the service of Agios gordios restaurants are at high levels. Prices are very good and can satisfy all budgets. The beach of Agios Gordios is a beautiful long sandy beach (about 1.5 km long) which has also private areas for nudists and to those who enjoy privacy. On the busy part of the beach (about 600 meters) you can either opt for relaxation (there are beds and umbrellas for hire) or get a bit more involved. There are boats, canoes and pedallos for hire that offer the opportunity for some explorations. And last but not least, (for the really active) there is a diving centre and water sports.Within 3 Km from Agios Gordios, there are 3 traditional Greek villages (Kato Garouna, Pentati & Sinarades) where you can go by foot through picturesque paths and enjoy the beauty of the nature.
Paramonas beach is located at the south west corner of the Mesis region. From the village of Agios Mattheos, a road leads down to Paramonas, an excellent sandy beach with some small islets off-shore and two or three taverns beside the waves. To the south are the clean and peaceful little beaches of Prasoudi, Kavouli, and Skidi, worth keeping in mind if you seek solitude during the peak season. Because of Paramonas' healthy and relaxing environment, it has been used in various film commercial production purposes. Some of the biggest and most influential stars have set foot in this alluring beach. A lot of them often return to this place not to work but for recreational and vacation purposes. Because of this, Paramonas has become one of the most sought-after vacation places in Greece.
Nearby Villages:
Kynopiastes: A traditional village of the Messi Region of Corfu, only 9,5 km away from Kato Pavliana, which you have to visit . Old mansions of the 17th to 19th centuries, a marble church, a 17th century monastery and a museum (and the only one on the island) devoted to the olive tree with some of the most famous restaurants on the island, are the reasons for which we suggest you visit it. The narrow tiled paths invite you to walk on them!
Garouna Village: Ano Garouna Corfu is a picturesque village built amphitheater-like on the hillside. Just opposite, you will see another village on the other side of the hill, Kato Garouna. Ano Garouna is famous for the tradition of sculpture and carving stone. Great place; perfect for those who love excursions in nature. Make sure you also visit the monastery of St. Panteleimon, located 2 km away from Ano Garouna at an altitude of 450 meters. The village of Kato Garouna is built at an altitude of 200 meters, 140m below the Ano Garouna village.

Update: WeHo's Red O To Open In March 2010, With Santa Monica To Follow in May
Here's a shot of the Dodd Mitchell-designed restaurant on Melrose Avenue (corner of Kilkea Drive) taking shape. The West Hollywood Red O, which is set to open in March of next year, is in the former Moustache Café (later Chocolat) space.
Details are currently sketchy, but we're told that the food will be Mexican and that a second Santa Monica spot (exact location as yet unknown) is likely to open in May. Jorge Pultera (previously at Koi and The Ivy) will be Director of Operations.
One thing's for sure: It will be moody and sexy. After all, Mitchell is the man who brought us Sushi Roku, Katana and Falcon, to name but three. More details as soon as we have them.

Every offseason, Antrel Rolle takes a step back and reflects on the past season and what he has to do for the coming year.
This time, one thing became increasingly clear to the safety -- Rolle knows he has to be more of a leader than ever before for the New York Giants, who report to training camp Friday in East Rutherford, N.J.
Already considered one of the most respected veterans, Rolle realizes the Giants will be looking to him to help replace the leadership lost in the locker room, with Ahmad Bradshaw, Osi Umenyiora, Michael Boley, Chris Canty, Chase Blackburn and Kenny Phillips all gone.
"I understand pretty much what it takes to be a leader a whole lot more this year, for whatever reason," Rolle, entering his fourth season with the Giants, said at the end of minicamp in June. "I think there are natural-born leaders. Some people try to adapt to it. I know I'm a natural-born leader."
It hasn't always been a smooth ride for the emotional safety, who early on often didn't see eye-to-eye with coach Tom Coughlin's old-school, conservative management style.
Always one to speak his mind, Rolle has griped about a variety of issues, from Coughlin's mandate that the team show up early to the stadium for a night game, to having to cover slot receivers as the nickelback.
Rolle speaks from the heart whenever he believes his words will help the team in the long run. When the Giants were on the brink of missing the playoffs in the 2011 season, Rolle challenged his teammates to practice and play hurt and show complete commitment. That coincided with the Giants' run to the Super Bowl.
Rolle matured during that second season under Coughlin. And like Michael Strahan before him, he went from resisting Coughlin to rallying around and ultimately loving his head coach.
Former team leaders such as Strahan and Antonio Pierce have pointed to Rolle as the one player who had to be the vocal, swagger-filled leader the Giants needed, with captains such as Eli Manning and Justin Tuck leading more by example.
Rolle, 30, has never shied from saying something if he believes it needs to be said, even though it might be controversial. He has the pulse of the team as well as anyone. And entering the 2013 season, Rolle knows his words and actions will have a major impact on the field and in the locker room.
"I think he is ready for it," Tuck said. "I think he has kind of primed himself the last two years to get more and more [vocal]. What's happening is 'Trel now is understanding the Giants' way, the Giants' system.
"He wasn't accustomed to that when he came in ... But now he is a lot smarter with some of the things he says in the media and some of the things he says in the locker room. He's going to be a huge part of our leadership qualities and success."
Rolle used to be frustrated about his week-to-week responsibilities in the game plan. Now, he openly accepts whatever defensive coordinator Perry Fewell needs from him, whether it be playing closer to the line of scrimmage or covering slot receivers -- two responsibilities that take Rolle away from doing what he truly loves, which is roaming the back as a free safety.
His interception numbers aren't what they used to be -- he has five picks in the past three seasons combined after having four in 2009, when he played for the Arizona Cardinals. But he had a team-leading 96 tackles in each of the past two seasons.
And he plays hurt. Rolle has not missed a game with the Giants, despite suffering two torn rotator cuffs. He also labored through a painful knee injury last season after he banged it on a sideline television camera in Week 3 at Carolina.
"My knee was jacked up for about six, seven weeks strong," he said. "At times it was very unstable, felt wobbly. ... I kept needing to get my knee drained throughout the week. It swelled up on me each and every week."
Rolle later added: "Whether I have two torn rotator cuffs, I am still out there not missing a beat. I think that counts for something in this locker room. Even if nothing is said, I know they [Giants players] are watching. Is he a guy that is going to quit? I am not going to be a guy to quit, no matter what the circumstances are."
During the past couple of seasons, Rolle has watched the departure of his two best friends on the team, Deon Grant and Phillips. It's now on Rolle to lead the safeties' unit. And he already has begun by spending as much time as he can in the offseason with fellow starter Stevie Brown to develop the kind of chemistry he had with Grant and Phillips.
Rolle is fully aware that nothing is guaranteed for him beyond this season. He is due $7 million next season, the final year of his contract, and the second-highest 2014 salary on the team behind Manning. If the Giants fail to go far this season, there will be more changes, and Rolle knows he could be a salary-cap casualty, just as what happened with Bradshaw, Canty and Boley.
"I understand the business of the game," Rolle said of seeing them go in a two-day span in February.
"I can't worry about next year," he added. "I am just worried about going out there and being the best safety I can throughout training camp and through the season."
This year, that also entails being the best leader he can be for the Giants. And Rolle understands that more than ever.

Raising A High Maintenance Child
Do you have a high maintenance child? "Thank goodness my second child wasn't born first. I would have stopped at one child if he was my first," said a mother at a recent parenting seminar. Many parents can relate to this sentiment. Nature has a way of evening out the score for parents. If you have an easy first born then hang on to your hat because chances are the second or third or fourth born will bring you back to reality. Most families have one child who takes up more of a parent's time, energy and mindspace than others. These high maintenance children have all sorts of misbehaviours to keep their parents busy or in their service. They may whinge or whine to get their own way. They may interrupt you just when you have started a conversation or settled down for a chat on the telephone. They may even embarrass you in front of your friends or begin to pull the cat's tail just as you settle to breastfeed a younger sibling. They can be tearful, self-indulgent, argumentative, bossy and just plain stubborn. And what's worse, they are often only high maintenance kids for their parents. Take them to creche', pre school or school and the demands for attention reduce dramatically. "How was she today?" you ask as you pick up your child at the end of the day. You feel crest-fallen when the adult in charge replies, "Not a problem. She was great!" But worse, you know when you get home the demands on your time and attention will begin and they won't cease until she (or you) falls asleep. High maintenance kids are demanding, exasperating and exhausting. They also take use up your time and energy that you would like to devote to your other children. You would love to spend more time with Perfect Pete but Turbo Terry, Argumentative Aaron or Whining Willemina just keep doing those things that they do so well. So what's the solution? What is the cure? That's a hard one. There is no magic pill for parents. Yes, some children who are diagnosed with ADHD are given a pill regularly in the form of ritolin. These little pills have become very popular over the last decade as the number of children diagnosed with ADHD has increased dramatically. Only recently have we as a community begun to question the wisdom of keeping up a supply of this drug to children. None of my children have had ADHD so I would not dare to point a finger at any parent who must live with a child with full-blown, A grade ADHD. I take my hat off to your dedication and persistence as you must develop this if you are to live with such a child. But most high maintenance child don't fall into this category. Many just need to be weaned off their parent's attention. We become so adept at responding to these kids' misbehaviours that attending to them becomes habitual. So try breaking the habit of giving attention when they misbehave. Now that's hard. When they want your attention do something completely different. But be ready for their attention-seeking stuff to escalate. It always does. Ignore the whining and it will increase in volume. Ignore a child's constant interruptions while you are on the telephone and be prepared for an ear-splitting shriek to contend with or even a mess to clean up. It is parents who generally experience the consequences of a high maintenance's child's behaviour. That is the way of high maintenance children. But you have to change your own way of reacting so your child doesn't get his jollies from keeping you busy with him or her. Most parents never do this because the reactionary habit is ingrained and the behaviour will escalate so we give up in the face of increased misbehaviour. Misbehaviour will generally get worse before it gets better. It is the norm when dealing with high maintenance children. That's why they are such hard work to raise. Alternatively, you can keep giving them heaps of B-grade attention when they are less than perfect and my hunch they will still grow up to be well-adjusted adults. It is just you as a parent who has a hard time of it in the meantime. Michael Grose is The Parent Coach.

This perky little fellow is called a Red-spotted Sandperch (Parapercis schauinslandii). He lives on the sand or on rubble slopes, usually at depths greater than 50 feet (15 m). He's a little guy -- only about 5 inches (13 cm) long, but he's a carnivore. He eats other smaller fishes as well as little crustaceans. We love the way these fish literally do perch on their sturdy little pelvic fins. I photographed this one at Honaunau Bay, Hawaii.
BobbieWow..thanks for the introduction of this marine fish :) It's not a Weekend;It's a Lifestyle
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little tihng! Hard to believe he's a meateater. I'll keep my fingers out of the water!
I've posted my Wordless Wednesday entry here and hope you'll drop by for a visit:
Hope you have a wonderful WW!
All the best,
Carmi@ Napaboaniya - I'm pleased to have made the introduction!
@ Drowsey - It is an expressive little face, isn't it?
@ CK - Hi, and thank you, and welcome back to The Right Blue.
@ Carmi - I don't think he'd really go after your fingers. He likes to eat itty-bitty stuff.
@ Cathy (tundra) - I love your photos, too -- although I can't imagine being outside taking photos in the arctic -- but that's just me!!!
@ Ann -- If he could speak, I wonder what he'd say to us.
@ Gattina - Good if it made you laugh, and I do hope you are feeling better.
@ Roger -- I think you have said that before, but thank you again. :-D
@ Aussie - LOL, maybe he is stunned. Hadn't thought of that. (And yes of COURSE you can add me to your blogroll -- like you'd have to ask!)
@ Cheerio - Welcome to The Right Blue. Hopoe you'll come back and visit again.
BobbieHey Guys,
Small predators like this one are always fun to photograph. They are brazen enough to stay in view long enough to get a photo, but sometimes run for cover just as you press your shutter button!
Here is my Wednesday pic:
Elephant Ear CoralFor some reason his posture makes me think he is trying to look bigger than he is (and I don't know why I'm thinking it's a male fish :). He looks like he's protecting something.
Great shot! I need to come by here more often. Visiting your site is like taking a vacation without leaving my desk.
Happy WW!!@ Jams - I'm not surprised you hadn't heard of this fish. It's not that common, except in a few places.
@ Shannon - These little guys are ALWAYS looking for a meal. LOL.
@ Martie - Hmm, that's a different description.
@ Serena - So you think he looks grouchy? Maybe he's just annoyed at the photographer.
@ Zam - No, he wouldn't hurt you.
@ Jientje - It's easy to fall in love underwater.
@ Daisy - Yes, he's pretty good at standing on his short little fins.
@ Christopher S. - Yes, if you are like me, you probably have more photos of fish tails than you'd like.
@ Alice - I had not heard of Friday Ark, but I will look into it. Thanks for the tip.
@ Atomik K. - Yeah, my cat would probably make short work of this guy, too.
@ Gabriel - LOL at "unprocessed fish sticks"
@ Harlekwin - He probably is protecting his turf -- or THINKS he is.
@ Pete - That carnivorous fish of yours certainly was a brute to eat his own young!
@ Kyla - Good for you. Hope you see a lot of wonderful things underwater.
@ Tina - We can only imagine what would happen if someone kissed this sandperch. Who knows -- maybe he would turn into a prince.
@ Francine - Yes, we do love fishes around here -- and other little marine critters, too. ;-}
@ Mary (the teach) - No, you must be thinking of Hanauma Bay. This photo was taken at Honaunau Bay, which along the southwest shore of the Big Island of Hawaii. (I know that those Hawaiian names often look/sound alike.)
And to all the rest of you, too -- thanks so much for visiting and for your complimentary comments on the photo.

Pear, Raspberry, and Mascarpone Crostini
This might be my new favorite thing EVER.
I have never been big on sweet crostini but dear sweet lord this is ridiculously good. I could eat this for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and be perfectly happy saturating my body with these amazing sugars and carbs.
The raspberries I have been buying at the store have been so unbelievably good lately. I just simply had to use them again after the raspberry sauce I made last week with that pavlova!
It's also the creamy mascarpone that makes these bites of heaven so darn addicting. I just feel so decadent when I am eating these; like a princess on a throne… made entirely of bread…
Oh wait is that a weird thing to dream of…?
Maybe I should stop sharing so many of my life details with you all.
Just eat this, and love it, and then come join me in my fairy castle with the throne made of bread.
Pear, Raspberry, and Mascarpone Crostini
Yield: Serves 6 to 8
Prep Time:10 minutes
Total Time:10 minutes
- 1 loaf fresh Ciabatta bread, sliced
- 1 cup raspberries
- 3 pears, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup mascarpone
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Create a tasty cinnamon sugar topping by combining sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Build your crostini by spreading a layer of mascarpone on each slice of Ciabatta (feel free to toast your bread slices on the grill or grill pan if you like the extra crunch!). Layer 3 slices of pear on each slice of bread and top with a few raspberries. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top of each slice.

India is faced with, in recent years, one of the worst monsoon rains this year. Already almost half of over 600 Districts of the country have been declared drought hit. In this brief paper, we would discuss the limited issue of the adverse impact of drought on electricity generation, particularly in the hydro electric plants, and also deliberate on some suggestions to mitigate the situation. As of 20th August, 2009 the average decline in water level in the various river basins, compared to last year, is almost 33%. Last year, these river basins had more than 88 billion cubic meters of water, and this year it is only 59 billion cubic meters. The live capacity of the storage at FRL is about 152 billion cubic meters. Even if we take the normal storage, as an average of last 10 years, which would include good, bad and normal monsoons during this period, it is over 79 billion cubic meters. This year's reserve is hardly 74% i.e. 26% less than the normal. The Table below gives the basin-wise details of current storage and status of the extent of reduction as compared to normal:
Water Level on August 20 (in billion cubic metres) Source: CWC
It may be seen from the above Table that in some of the river basins the water level is very adverse. Godavari is the worst at 64% departure from the normal. Similarly Indus, Tapi and Mahanadi have around 46% departure from the normal. In the remaining part of the rainy season, it is unlikely that the situation would improve significantly.
For the year 2009-10 the target of electricity generation is about 790 billion units. Though the installed capacity of hydroelectric plants constitutes about 25% of the total capacity, since the Load Factor on these plants ranges between 40 to 50% only, the power generation from these plants constitutes only about 15% of the total power generation. A 26% decline in the availability of water would mean that at the most the hydro power generation would affect the total generation by about 3.5 to 4%. Though, this impact appears somewhat low, the problem gets accentuated because the supply is already about 8 to 10% less than demand on average basis and the shortage is about 14% during peaking hours. Therefore, the diluted impact of reduced hydro generation has to be seen in the context of a severe shortage situation which we are otherwise also facing, and would have faced, even if we had a normal or better than normal monsoon. We also need to take note of the fact that a large number of hydro power plants - whether run-of-river or storage - are expected to generate power to support peak demands during morning and evening peak hours. The merit of hydro plants is, therefore, rightly judged not by the overall generation of electricity that it delivers but by the support that it provides during the peak hours when the demand throughout the country is more by about 30% of the average, and more than 50% of the minimum load. Thus, while it would be right to say that a 25% reduction in rains and, therefore, availability of storage would only have a marginal impact on availability of power, it would be wrong to say that we would afford this and could manage it easily. Infact, we need to take due note of the situation and prepare well in advance, so that we are able to minimise the impact of this problem throughout the year. At this stage, I also consider it relevant to mention that the supply problem is likely to worsen not only on account of lesser availability of water, but also it is likely to be compounded because of the increasing trends in demands for power. It is in this context that I would like to make a few suggestions as Action Plans to mitigate the likely hardships.
It has been generally experienced that in situation of shortages, the hydro power plants are asked to generate even when the reservoir levels are low, throughout the year, to meet the crisis situation. And, as a result, when the crisis further deepens, there is practically no availability of water. The temptation to use whatever is available leads to extreme shortage at a time when it is needed most. It is, therefore, suggested that each hydro power generation plant should make a comprehensive plan of action for the whole year till the next monsoon, analyse the demand pattern for the whole year, and balance consumption of water and conservation of water, so that whatever is available is used in the most optimal way. In this plan, of course, due care has to be given for the demands that would be placed for drinking and irrigation. As mentioned earlier, the drought situation in half of the country would obviously lead to pressures for use of water for these purposes.
Even in normal situation, we have been experiencing the shortage of supply of coal from various domestic coal companies. Number of power stations holding critical and supercritical stocks have been on the increase. No doubt, coal companies are steeping up production, yet when we need to generate more during the year from our coal plants to mitigate the problems arising out of failing monsoon and at the same time on account of new capacity additions, the requirement of coal will be even higher and the domestic supplies may not be able to cope with such increased requirements. Right from the year 2004-05, Indian power sector has experienced increasing gaps between the requirement of coal and ability of domestic coal companies to fully meet the requirement. Initially there was a lot of reluctance even on the part of several power generating utilities to import coal and match the gaps. I understand that such reluctance, though substantially diluted, continues even now. Perhaps one of the reasons is the procedure of procurement and also some of the problems that got associated with such imports leading to investigations and enquiries against concerned officials. While the pressure on coal companies should continue, any cold hearted approach on the part of generating utilities for importing coal, where needed, will not be desirable. Power utilities must recognise that if generation can be stepped up and Plant Load Factor can be improved, no other issue should stand in the way to meet this by import of coal. If the power sector imports 7 to 10% of coal required, it would be possible to achieve what we want to achieve. It is true that when our demand for imported coal increases, it does have an effect on the price of coal. But what we need to appreciate is that from the existing plants any additional generation based on imported coal, which can be blended with domestic coal, is achieved only by marginal cost of fuel, because the fixed cost of the power plant, in any case, is the sunk cost. In our regulatory dispensation also, the additional burden on account of higher cost of imported coal is a pass through and rightly so because, as mentioned earlier, the additional generation so achieved has mainly the burden of fuel cost. Increased amount of import of coal, however, brings with it the issues concerning adequacies in ports and the evacuation arrangements from beyond the ports. I recall, in the year 2005 when we were trying to increase the import of coal from 15 million tonnes annually to 20 million tonnes, we needed to interact with various ports through Ministry of Shipping and Transport for augmenting the handling facilities and with Ministry of Railways for onward movement from ports to power plants. During last few years, definitely these capacities would have been enhanced. But, there would be a need for a thorough reality checks on various aspects, so that mismatches, if any, are identified well in advance and necessary actions taken to meet the requirement of needed imports. Ministries of Power, Railways and Transport and Shipping together with generating utilities need to work out a Detailed Action Plan based on the likely supplies of coal from domestic sources and the gaps that might exist keeping in view the demands. Sensitivity analysis may also be done, so that if there are any shortfalls from the assured supply from domestic coal companies, these are met through enhanced imports. This would need to be not only planned, but regularly monitored. Experiences of the past have demonstrated that for variety of reasons the sector has lost generation in the coal based plants, because domestical coal was not sufficient and the required quantities of import could not be effected in time.
Though the gas based combined cycle power plants constitute less than 10% of the total installed capacity, during the current year, to tide over the problems caused by inadequate rains, their contribution could be very meaningful. In the past, these plants could be operated only between 60 to 65% Plant Load Factor on account of shortage of gas. Now that the KG Basin Gas is being produced, we may ensure that the utilisation in these plants improves. The gas that has been allocated will no doubt, enable these plants to operate much better than they were able to do in the past. But, the allocation will not allow them to perform at their potentials. These plants could definitely be expected to perform at 95% Plant Load Factor, if not more. Ministry of Power may take up the matter with Ministry of Petroleum that if not on a regular basis, atleast during this year, to address the monsoon linked problem, they enhance the allocation in all the gas based plants corresponding to atleast 95% Plant Load Factor. However, for any reason if this is not done, we may not leave the matter just there. We need to adopt the second strategy of matching the gaps with imported LNG. Here again, the caution is that there could be reluctance on the part of power generating companies because of higher cost of LNG. The fact that needs to be appreciated is that from the existing generating capacities, whatever additional electricity is produced, the cost would be mainly of fuel. The trade off, therefore, has to be worked out properly.
Another potential source of supply to handle the situation would be the captive power plants. This route has always been available. But, where we have failed, in many cases, to tap this source of supply, is because of lack of advance planning and more importantly lack of appreciation of commercial stands of the involved parties - the generator and the buyer. What would be needed to smoothen this process would be a proper administrative intervention to facilitate this and also a regulatory support, so that any commercial uncertainties are eliminated.
Combined Heat and Power Systems of different modules, which have very short gestation period to be established, could also be an effective solution. I understand that these systems, which could be operated on city gas distribution network of gas, can be set up in less than six months in a modular way. Even on open cycle their efficiency is expected to be more than 45% and on combined cycle more than 50%. It is reported that their sensitivity to partial load operation or to ambient temperature is significantly less than Combined Cycle Frame Machines. With the increased allocation of gas for city gas distribution system as also due to the higher production of gas in coming months, it should be possible to quickly set aside certain quantities which could be allocated to such Combined Heat and Power Systems as also to these engines which may be operated as combined cycle power plants.
In all the above cases, there would be a need for a proper appreciation of various actions by Regulatory Commissions. If hydroelectric power, as stipulated in the annual revenue requirement of distribution utility, is not fully available and it has to be substituted by power procured through other sources, as mentioned above, there has to be an in principle consent from the Regulatory Institutions that necessary adjustment will be allowed during the year as an additional component of the retail tariff. This is being emphasised because in the past many Regulatory Commissions have not only been indifferent to solving such crisis situations but were totally unable to take timely decisions on these commercial issues. As a result, many distribution utilities did not come forward to take advantage of a potential additional generation which could have been made available.
The problem of power shortage this year may perhaps lead to a very major initiative which has not been put in place so far as a national initiative to price peaking power both at bulk level and retail level significantly higher than the average price. This has, therefore, not facilitated the management of peaking load in an effective manner. Either the Forum of Regulators generate consensus to price peaking power atleast 30 to 40% costlier, so that Demand Side Management helps in mitigating the problem, or the Government of India brings a Supplement to the Tariff Policy to effect this arrangement. Unless at consumer level there is an appreciation that power could cost significantly higher during the peak hours, power purchase through Trading or through Power Exchanges at rates of Rs. 10 per kwhr or more will not be able to effectively handle the peak load problem.
Energy efficiency and energy conservation have always been relevant and they will continue to be so. Bureau of Energy Efficiency under the Ministry of Power has been bringing out a number of initiatives. Implementation at State levels needs to be intensified. Perhaps the problem of this year could be profitably used to bring home the point and inspire the State Energy Departments and other concerned agencies about the urgency of the situation. This would definitely make its visible contribution to partly solve the power shortage that could be created on account of reduced hydroelectric generation and also on account of increased demand.
A well co-ordinated and orchestrated Action Plan initiated by the Ministry of Power and Central Electricity Authority, with full involvement of State Energy Departments, generating utilities, distribution utilities and Regulatory Commissions (Forum of Regulators), prepared well in advance, with appropriate mechanism for periodic monitoring, will be able to address the situation that has been caused, and that may perhaps accentuate, on account of the unprecedented shortfall in rain this year.

Rep. Steve McDaniel
Steve credits the beginning of his intense interest in the American Civil War to, at the age of seven, his discovery of a cap and ball pistol near the Parkers Crossroads Battlefield. Over the years, his interest has grown beyond the preservation of his home battlefield at Parkers Crossroads. He has worked with other historic preservationists to save hallowed grounds across the state of Tennessee. As a member of the Tennessee House of Representatives, he promotes historic preservation among his legislative colleagues, as well as the Executive Branch. Rep. McDaniel was the House sponsor of legislation creating the Tennessee Wars Commission. He currently serves on the Tennessee Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission, the Tennessee Civil War Preservation Association's advisory board, and he chairs the Tennessee State Museum Commission. In addition, Steve is the historian of the Parkers Crossroads Battlefield Association and is the recipient of numerous preservation awards.

Most welfare go to the rich of this country: the military-industrial complex, the bankers, the foreign dictators.... This idea that the government has services or goods that they can pass on is a complete farce. Governments have nothing. They can't create anything, they never have.

Let's see if I can say this one more time, with vigor -- Anything developed for military use will eventually be used by police against the people they are sworn to protect. Not just criminals, not just drug dealers. There's a war going on, right now, right here, the front lines are ion our neighborhoods, our schools and our homes, the soldiers are those we used to call "law enforcement officers" (oddly enough, they still call themselves "peace officers") and the enemy is us.

text: Happy Birthday, iPod: Top Ten Reasons Why I Hate YouCharlie White10/23/06 11:34amFiled to: Portable MediaFifth anniversaryHaterageTop Ten reasons Why I Hate YouiPodiPod sucks94EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink This image was lost some time after publication, but you can still view it here. Hey, today's the iPod's fifth birthday, born October 23, 2001. We'd sing Happy Birthday, but copyright law prevents us from doing so unless we pay the owner of that song. So instead of crooning that hackneyed ditty, we're going to spread the haterage about the iPod. Advertisement The iPod gets so much adoring and worshipful press—we ink-stained (pixel-stained?) wretches are fawning over it 24/7—so we figured it was high time somebody took it down a notch or two. As my Gizmodo colleagues hide in the closet, they've shoved me out into the limelight to take the heat, offering my Top 10 Reasons Why I Hate You, iPod. So get your flamethrowers ready. Here goes:There's no FM: we have some great FM stations around these parts, one jazz station in particular that I listen to all the time in the car. I can't do that with the iPod. How much more would it cost to put FM in that thing, maybe two bucks? Get over it, put the damn receiver and there and be done with it. Advertisement More haterage, after the jump.Scratches: Yes, the new aluminum iPod nano is allegedly scratch-resistant, but it's retro, looking kinda like the old mini. We don't like going backwards. Our first-gen iPod nano looked like a skating rink on day two, and we were coddling it in microfiber most of the time. What, does it have a wax coating? What good is a beautiful design that gets all scratched up if you touch it? Meh.Battery life: We still haven't forgotten about the first-generation iPod whose battery wore out quicker than a prematurely-ejaculating teen. Plus, it was nigh on impossible to replace there for a while. Now, the batteries still won't last long enough, even in the newest models. There are cheap Taiwan knockoffs that last twice as long. Fix that. Sponsored DRM: Digital rights management is shit, no matter how you slice it. Sure, Apple's DRM, called FairPlay, gives you a little more leeway, but we'd rather not have anyone telling us what we can do with music we've purchased. Makes us want to steal it.iTunes is janky: iTunes is weird, and although we have no trouble using it, we're getting tired of teaching our grandparents all of its intricacies. We thought this was Apple, where everyone could use it and it would be easy. iTunes is not easy enough, and doesn't follow Windows conventions closely enough. Advertisement No Bluetooth: How hard can it be to put Bluetooth in the iPod? Then we could get rid of all those wires with their auto-tangle feature, seemingly wrapping around themselves while you're not looking, requiring an untangling session a few times a day. Bring on the Bluetooth.Thief magnet: This is not really the iPod's fault, but the damn things are so popular, if you're wearing white earphones, you might as well have just painted a big target on your back. At least release some official black Apple iPod earbuds, or various colors...? Maybe that'll throw the muggers off for a little while.My kid wants a new one every six months: Steve Jobs himself talked about how iPods must often be replaced. Sure, any consumer electronics device that's cutting edge will be obsolete quickly, but at least you can make them less appealing to my kid, whose nagging me for a new one on a regular basis. Advertisement No widescreen: You're making the mistake of the Microsoft Zune, sticking with that old-fashioned 4x3 aspect ratio. We want wide screen; that's the way of the future. While you're at it, give us better than 640x480 video on iTunes.No WiFi: speaking of Zune, you could've put WiFi on the iPod a long time ago, and not crippled it seven ways to Sunday, too, as Microsoft is about to do. Another missed opportunity.Oh well, happy birthday anyway, iPod. Reply94 repliesLeave a reply

Topic tags/keywords: dust collection harbor freight wok As time permits I am designing changes to my Harbor Freight (HF) Dust Collector (DC). As I search for information and ideas I have come across several posts pertaining to adding a wok (or frying pan) to the bottom of the metal ring close to where the plastic bag attaches. Unfortunately, I have not figured out why. Would you please explain why I would want one and if there are any design parameters to placement of the wok? -- Jesse, Saint Louis, Missouri |

#1 posted 03-07-2013 03:08 PM |
The wok/frying pan modification is supposed to help improve the seperation of the fines into the collection bag and keep them from clogging up the filter. I have not done that mod, as I'm currently building a Thein Top Hat pre-seperator. The advantage of the pre-seperator is that large debris (& fines) is seperated out BEFORE entering the blower/impeller, thus preventing potential damage to the impellor. As an added bonus, it is easier to empty the trash can collector bin than changing out the plastic bag! Win-Win!!! -- Randy-- I may not be good...but I am slow! If good things come to those who wait.... Why is procrastination a bad thing? |
#2 posted 03-07-2013 07:07 PM |
Thanks Randy, Do either of the modifications you mentioned (wok or thein) affect the cfm or static pressure? -- Jesse, Saint Louis, Missouri |
#3 posted 03-07-2013 07:33 PM |
They both are a restriction to air flow. I don't know by how much. However, by seperating out the fines, the filter does not clog as quickly (in between filter cleanings), so air flow (although slightly reduced) is maintained for a longer period of time. Here is a link to Phil Thien's Discussion Forum, where you can further research your question. -- Randy-- I may not be good...but I am slow! If good things come to those who wait.... Why is procrastination a bad thing? |
#4 posted 03-07-2013 08:03 PM |
i had posed that same question, JESSE, to phil on his forum. in condensed form, he noted that many users of his baffle use both enhancements in their DC efforts. the baffle within the DC's drum ring (the frying pan/wok) enhances the separation of collected material as DIY noted, sending more of it to the collector bag thereby keeping it out of the filter which maintains airflow and suction (BTW, a thein shaped flat baffle could be used within the DC's drum ring instead of a pan. phil believes such a baffle would do an even better separation job than the pan or wok, which are proxies for a jet vortex cone). phil further noted that many users of his enhancements use their separator only when using machines which generate large amounts of chips, like jointers and planers. but DIY is entirely correct that the separator before the blower will catch errant potentially damaging items sucked up accidently which the drum ring baffle won't. -- there's a solution to every problem.......you just have to be willing to find it. |
#5 posted 03-07-2013 10:36 PM |
I haven't measured it but , based on my experience I would estimate the Thein baffle would reduce the available static pressure by at least 2 1/2", perhaps as much as 4" H2O. |
#6 posted 03-08-2013 01:34 AM |
crank49…. if those estimates are correct, what % would that represent of the total for the system those approximations are based on? -- there's a solution to every problem.......you just have to be willing to find it. |
#7 posted 03-08-2013 04:12 AM |
I'm assuming most hobby wood working shops have something similar to a 2hp single stage collector that folks are trying to tweek a little more performance out of. Those machines all have their small differences but I think it would be safe to say they generally develope about 600 CFM at 10" static pressure. That 10" of static is what I am saying the Thein is reducing by 2 1/2", so about a 25% reduction. These would be the same machines that claim things like 1200 CFM , or may claim 14" static pressure. It's important to note that they don't say 1200 CFM at 14" static pressure. That is a very important fine point that most people overlook. My HF 2hp collector may be able to pull 1100 CFM it claims, but it would only do that with no filter and no ductwork and with the inlet grill removed from the fan intake and with the room air at 30 degrees and at least 7 of the 9 planets in alignment; so a meaningless rating. It also might be able to generate 14" of static pressure, but only while sucking 50 CFM through a 1" orfice. So, the bottom line is the real rating has to relate the air flow at a certain pressure to mean anything. |
#8 posted 03-08-2013 04:13 PM |
Thanks everyone! How do you calculate CFM and static losses due to plumbing? Right now I have two ten foot sections of black semi flexible four inch hose that I move between machines. -- Jesse, Saint Louis, Missouri |
#9 posted 03-08-2013 04:26 PM |
I built and used such a system, I have now sold it. It is supposed to prevent the dust to climb from the bag into the filter. -- Bert |
