You play Bouncy the Hungry Rabbit. You're in a garden with yummy veggies and a farmer who's not keen on you eating them. You can hide (and move around) under the ground.
Bouncy was written so it could be enjoyed by the author's daughter, who was about to turn 3, and by older gamers. Hence it's not a violent game and "easy" is really, really easy, and "hard" is challenging.

BIG RAPIDS – Ferris State University is ready to grill up some excitement as part of Saturday's homecoming celebration. To help in this effort, the Ferris Alumni Association is bringing back The Grillin' Guys from radio station WBBL in Grand Rapids to add to the festive atmosphere on Saturday, Oct. 5 as part of "Bulldog Beach Bash" for Homecoming 2013.
The Alumni Association will welcome the hosts of The Grillin' Guys, Randy Joppie and Bob Nurmikko, a pair of Ferris alumni, to bring their popular Saturday morning program on the road to Big Rapids. Joppie and Nurmikko will be broadcasting live on 107.3 FM from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. as good food is grilled up for the VIP tailgate during homecoming weekend activities at Ferris.
Ferris State football head coach Tony Annese is scheduled to be a guest on the popular Saturday morning show around 9:30 a.m. (ET) to discuss the Bulldogs' afternoon matchup with Saginaw Valley State.
"The FSU Alumni Association is always looking to offer more fun and variety with its homecoming activities," said Jeremy Mishler, director of Alumni Relations and Advancement Operations at Ferris. "Bringing Back 107.3 FM's The Grillin' Guys gives us the opportunity to feature two of our alumni, Randy and Bob, to bring even greater fun, food and atmosphere to our already fired-up, family-friendly homecoming tailgating experience."
Joppie, known by a variety of nicknames that rhyme with his last name, attended Ferris where he studied Business and Accounting. Nurmikko, known as "Barbecue Bob" by many loyal listeners, met his wife at Ferris after serving in the U.S. Air Force. Joppie and Nurmikko are both accomplished grillers who are eager to bring their show on the road to Ferris.
"We're very excited about this event and we're looking forward to being on campus at Ferris," Joppie said.
The VIP tailgate menu features steaks and shish kebabs with Barbecue Bob's secret marinade as well as beef brisket. Updates about the VIP tailgate will be featured on two of the social media sites for the Alumni Association on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/FerrisAlumni) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/FerrisAlumni).
For more information about this event, contact Amy Packard at (231) 591-2345 at the Ferris Alumni Association or email the office at firstname.lastname@example.com.

New Delhi, Dec 13 (IANS) External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid, travelling to Myanmar Friday on his first bilateral trip abroad, would meet President Thein Sein as well as pro-democracy icon Aung Sang Suu Kyi.
The Dec 14-16 visit is aimed to "provide an opportunity to review the entire gamut of the bilateral relationship and build further upon the momentum in bilateral relations", said an external affairs ministry statement Thursday.
During the visit, Khurshid would also meet his Myanmar counterpart U. Wunna Maung Lwin in capital Nay Pyi Taw. Suu Kyi had visited India in November and met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Khurshid would inaugurate the International Conference on Buddhist Cultural Heritage that is being jointly organised by India and Myanmar in Yangon Dec 15 (Saturday).
The minister is also scheduled to unveil the 15-foot high replica of the Sarnath Buddha statue in the precincts of the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon. The Buddha statue was gifted by the prime minister during his visit to Myanmar in May this year.
"India and Myanmar enjoy the closest ties of friendship and cooperation based upon the commonalities of history, culture, religion, ethnicity and spirituality. The exchange of high level visits over the past year has further strengthened these multifaceted ties.
"A number of new initiatives related to enhancing connectivity through land, sea and air; promoting bilateral cooperation and exchanges in the areas of security, border cooperation, trade and commerce, banking, agriculture, health, science and technology, information technology, culture; infrastructure development; capacity building and human resource development; organisation of training for Myanmar parliamentarians and parliamentary staff in India; and promotion of people-to-people contacts, among others; are under implementation by the two sides," the statement said.

At some point this season, Nick Johnson and one of his teammates might just come to blows.
Maybe at least a pop in the chest and a slap in the face.
Not because Johnson is shooting too much, but, his teammates declare, not enough.
The reticent Johnson exploded out of his shell once more on Sunday night, lighting up Utah for 22 crucial points in No. 1-ranked Arizona's 65-56 win over Utah at McKale Center.
"I never want to be a person considered to be a 'jacker,' the person where everyone looks at him sideways," Johnson said. "That's just me as a person. It's good I'm hitting shots, I guess."
This is no guessing game.
Johnson is shooting nearly 50 percent from the field for the season and better than 80 percent from the free-throw line.
But perhaps the best reflection of Johnson's maturation and improvement is not the volume, but the efficiency in the volume.
Sunday marked his seventh 20-point game of the year – and third in seven Pac-12 games – and in those games, he's shooting 53 of 100 from the field.
As a freshman, Johnson had just one 20-point game, a 20-point performance in a 79-70 loss to Washington. He went 6 for 14.
A year later, he scored 20-plus twice; against Southern Miss, he had 23 points on 9-of-14 shooting, but went 2 of 6 from three-point range and had six turnovers; against UCLA, he again had 23, but went 9 for 19 and 1 for 5 from three-point range.
On Sunday, he was 9 for 18 for 22 points.
"He's efficient, he takes good shots," Miller said. "He has a variety of ways he can score – does it in transition, does it taking good threes, he's developed his right hand, his left hand, his middle-range game. He deserves a lot of credit – he's improved from high school to freshman, freshman to sophomore and sophomore to junior year.
"He's always been a really gifted, athletic type of player."
It's not as if he's exactly an unknown.
Johnson is quickly being mentioned in the same breath as the best guards in the country, including by his own coach, and by Pac-12 rivals who've seen him average a hair under 20 points during the last six games.
"They're talking about him as a potential player of the year for our league," Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak said. "He's the guy they go to and he stepped up to the plate and made some big plays. We didn't have an answer for him. Whether he's dunking the ball of shooting the ball, he's a hard guard."
Sunday's game was a good mixture of both. There was a clutch three-pointer, almost nine minutes into the game, which gave Arizona some life after the Wildcats went down 12-4. There was the floater that Johnson worked so hard on this offseason, and the driving layups. And, of course, the Ute-crushing baseline jam-and-foul.
"We happened to expose them on ball screens, got the big on me a few times," Johnson said. "I just went around them or shot a floater, and really, we're all making shots."
Not on Sunday — aside from Johnson, the Wildcats were just 15 of 42 from the field.
That made Johnson's mix of quality and quantity so important.
"That's just what Nick does," Rondae Hollis-Jefferson said. "Whenever we need Nick to get a basket, I come to him sometimes, (whispering) 'Nick, we need you to score.' All the time. That's just what we need Nick to do. He knows."
And if he doesn't, he's reminded.
In perhaps the Wildcats' biggest win of the year, a 69-60 early-season road victory at San Diego State, Johnson had 23 points on 8-of-15 field goal shooting.
It took a little prompting, though. Aaron Gordon was one of the teammates in Johnson's ear.
"At SDSU, it was my first road game and we're playing well, but it got down to a pressure situation I went to Nick and said, 'Come on, come on, let's go.'"
And now Johnson is growing more and more comfortable answering the call.

I removed the wooden nob on lower half and saved it for another project. Then hubby drilled holes in the upper and lower parts. I spray painted the base and glass top with black glossy, rust resistant outdoor paint. I spray painted the underside of the glass.
The top of the glass has a mirrored look and since I only sprayed the underneath, you can still see the original white detailing.

Have a blessed week,

This report describes the historical weather record at the Keesler Air Force Base (Biloxi, Mississippi, United States) during 1950. This station has records back to December 1947.
Biloxi, Mississippi has a warm humid temperate climate with hot summers and no dry season. The area within 25 mi of this station is covered by forests (49%), oceans and seas (40%), and croplands (10%)
Daylight saving time (DST) was observed at Biloxi, Mississippi during 1950. There were two time changes during 1950:
1950 was not a leap year, so it has 365 days and no February 29th. The first leap year before 1950 was 1948 and the first after was 1952.
The summer and winter solstices and the spring and fall equinoxes mark the passing of the seasons. They fall on nearly the same day each year, with differences of a day or two depending on the year. In 1950 they occurred on:
Spring Equinox | Tuesday, 21 March 1950. |
Summer Solstice | Wednesday, 21 June 1950. |
Fall Equinox | Saturday, 23 September 1950. |
Winter Solstice | Friday, 22 December 1950. |
The hottest day of 1950 was June 26, with a high temperature of 98°F. For reference, on that day the average high temperature is 90°F and the high temperature exceeds 94°F only one day in ten. The hottest month of 1950 was August with an average daily high temperature of 89°F.
Relative to the average, the hottest day was January 27. The high temperature that day was 77°F, compared to the average of 60°F, a difference of 17°F. In relative terms the warmest month was January, with an average high temperature of 71°F, compared to an typical value of 60°F.
The longest warm spell was from January 8 to February 15, constituting 39 consecutive days with warmer than average high temperatures. The month of January had the largest fraction of warmer than average days with 97% days with higher than average high temperatures.
The coldest day of 1950 was November 25, with a low temperature of 26°F. For reference, on that day the average low temperature is 48°F and the low temperature drops below 40°F only one day in ten. The coldest month of 1950 was December with an average daily low temperature of 43°F.
Relative to the average, the coldest day was November 25. The low temperature that day was 26°F, compared to the average of 48°F, a difference of 22°F. In relative terms the coldest month was March, with an average low temperature of 50°F, compared to an typical value of 55°F.
The longest cold spell was from August 1 to August 14, constituting 14 consecutive days with cooler than average low temperatures. The month of August had the largest fraction of cooler than average days with 94% days with lower than average low temperatures.
The clearest month of 1950 was August, with 87% of days being more clear than cloudy. The longest spell of clear weather was from October 1 to October 17, constituting 17 consecutive days that were clearer than they were cloudy.
The cloudiest month of 1950 was January, with 10% of days being more cloudy than clear.
This station provides hourly reports of significant weather events at and around the station, but does not report the quantity of precipitation at the station itself. This is common for weather stations located outside of the United States, and for a small subset of stations in the United States that are located at lesser used and smaller airports.
This station reports when significant weather events (including precipitation) are visually observed at or near the station. Such events do not always correspond to measured quantities of liquid equivalent precipitation, such as when the event is near by not at the station, or in the case of solid precipitation that does not melt in the collection basin.
The day in 1950 with the most precipitation observations was March 4. There were 24 hourly weather reports that day (out of a maximum of 24) in which some form of precipitation was observated at or near the station. The month with the most precipitation observations was July, with 107 hourly present weather reports involving some form of precipitation.
As determined by the present weather reports, the longest dry spell was from October 1 to October 17, constituting 17 consecutive days with no observed precipitation. The month with the largest fraction of days without observed precipitation was October, with 87% of days reporting no observed precipitation at all.
The month with the largest fraction of days with at least some observed precipitation was July, with 71% of days reporting some observed precipitation.
Either snow is exceptionally rare at this location or this station did not reliably report it during 1950.
Humidity is an important factor in determining how weather conditions feel to a person experiencing them. Hot and humid days feel even hotter than hot and dry days because the high level of water content in humid air discourages the evaporation of sweat from a person's skin.
When reading the graph below, keep in mind that the hottest part of the day tends to be the least humid, so the daily low (brown) traces are more relevant for understanding daytime comfort than the daily high (blue) traces, which typically occur during the night. Applying that observation, the least humid month of 1950 was November with an average daily low humidity of 45%, and the most humid month was January with an average daily low humidity of 74%.
But it is important to keep in mind that humidity does not tell the whole picture and the dew point is often a better measure of how comfortable a person will find a given set of weather conditions. Please see the next section for continued discussion of this point.
Dew point is the temperature below which water vapor will condense into liquid water. It is therefore also related to the rate of evaporation of liquid water. Since the evaporation of sweat is an important cooling mechanism for the human body, the dew point is an important measurement for understanding how dry, comfortable, or humid a given set of weather conditions will feel.
Generally speaking, dew points below 50°F will feel a bit dry to some people, but comfortable to people accustomed to dry conditions; dew points from 50°F to 68°F are fairly comfortable to most people, and dew points above 68°F are increasingly uncomfortable, becoming oppressive around 77°F.
To take some examples, and basing our categorization on the daily high dew point in 1950, January had 1 dry day, 20 comfortable days, and 10 humid days; April had 5 dry days, 17 comfortable days, and 8 humid days; July had no dry days, no comfortable days, and 31 humid days; and October had 1 dry day, 16 comfortable days, and 14 humid days.
The highest sustained wind speed was 40 mph, occurring on August 18; the highest daily mean wind speed was 21 mph (April 5);
The windiest month was January, with an average wind speed of 11 mph. The least windy month was August, with an average wind speed of 6 mph.
Visibility is the maximum distance at which a given reference object or light can be clearly discerned. In the United States, visibilities that are greater than or equal to 10 miles are typically reported as 10 miles.
The day of 1950 with the lowest average visibility was January 11, with an average visibility of 1.3 mi. The month with the lowest average visibility was January, with an average visibility of 6.9 mi. With an average visibility of 12.0 mi, the month of June had the highest average visibility.
The cloud ceiling is the altitude of the lowest layer of clouds that are at categorized as broken (mostly cloudy) or overcast (cloudy). If no such cloud layer exists then the ceiling is unlimited and no value is reported.
The day of 1950 with the lowest average cloud ceiling was January 18, with an average cloud ceiling of 0'. The month with the lowest average cloud ceiling was October, with an average cloud ceiling of 2844'. The month of June has the highest average cloud ceiling, with an average cloud ceiling of 12250'.

Dear Insurance Adviser, My question is about disability insurance policies. I have two of them. One is clearly "private," and I've paid the premiums directly to the insurance company for decades. The second is through my employer, paid for through a payroll deduction. I'm not sure if the premiums are subsidized. I do not think so, but that could be really important to me for tax reasons. If my employer subsidizes, or pays some type of administrative cost for making these benefits available, does it throw the policy into a taxable scenario? It's an optional policy that can be chosen and purchased by employees.
Also, should I be concerned that there might be some type of limitation on coverage from either policy because of any sort of "coordination of benefits" between them? -- Sorting It All Out
Dear Sorting, These are important issues to be concerned about -- before you get disabled.
My rule of thumb regarding taxability of disability benefits is to pay the premiums with after-tax dollars whenever possible. Then, when you are disabled, you will collect benefits on a tax-free basis.
Individual, or "private," disability insurance policies are almost always purchased with after-tax dollars, and therefore the benefits come to you tax-free. Group policies, where you pay the premiums on a payroll deduction basis, can be paid for with either after-tax or before-tax dollars. If the premiums are deducted from your gross pay, your benefits will be taxable. If they are deducted from your net pay, benefits will be tax-free to you. So, make sure the premiums are being taken out of your net pay.
Employer-paid administrative expenses to make the group insurance available to you won't affect the taxability of your benefits.
Your coordination-of-benefits question asks whether or not disability benefits received under one policy will reduce or offset benefits received under the other policy. Although it's quite common for medical insurance policies to have offsetting benefits, it rarely is the case with disability insurance. Group disability policies do often offset against Social Security benefits, workers' compensation benefits, other group insurance benefits, and so on, but they almost never offset against benefits from individually purchased, private-pay disability policies.
One final suggestion: Your private policy, which is "decades old," may have outdated coverage, such as not covering partial disabilities to retirement age. And although the sort of group insurance you have is usually a pretty good buy, it also might be lacking some important features. Seek out an insurance agent or financial planner with long-term disability insurance expertise to help you determine the adequacy of your current combination of policies and determine whether or not a supplemental or replacement policy might be needed.
Good luck.

The Apple TV (2010): Dissected
by Anand Lal Shimpi on September 29, 2010 1:59 PM EST
Honestly, Roku's price drop and yesterday's announcement of Hulu Plus coming to the platform probably stole much if any remaining thunder from the imminent arrival of the new Apple TV. While we'll still give the Apple TV a thorough treatment, it's still clearly a very niche product from Apple (until it gets jailbroken, then all bets are off). It's one of the easiest devices to test simply because it doesn't work with the vast majority of downloadable video content. We can't even run our media streamer test suite on the device since it doesn't support streaming anything outside of iTunes.
To tide you over until our review is done however we've got a full gallery of the new Apple TV dissected. There aren't many surprises installed. The thing is tiny, there are no fans and the entire chassis is used as a heatsink. Apple makes liberal use of thermal conductive pads within the device.
The new ATV does use the A4, but the markings on the chip in my unit are very faint so I couldn't tell how much memory was integrated onto the package. There don't seem to be many other surprises inside, the new Apple TV is a $99 iPod Touch without the display and speaker/mic. The real potential for this platform (much like its predecessor) is realized if/when it's hacked. Until then it'll be a tough sell for many. Update: Looks like it has already been jailbroken (thanks crimson117), it's just a matter of time for folks to put the freedom to good use.
Check out the gallery!

I was wondering how they got it so small. It being an iPod Touch without a screen and battery answers that question.
Can I put a USB TV tuner on it? Reply -

iFixIt posted their teardown. Many components, including the chip, are exactly the same as the iPad. The most interesting part is the 8 Gig flash chip with room to add another. It needs some storage to buffer, but 8 Gigs? My money is on an Apple TV app store. It may not make a lot of sense, until you think about apps that will work with other types of streaming or data sources. Even if Apple doesn't allow them in their app store, I bet the jailbrake crowd would be more than willing to provide just as they do for the iPhone. The last Apple TV has enjoyed a very active hacking community for such a niche device and moving to iOS will likely only make it that much easier to hack. Reply -

Fluke Gives Sparkfun A Bunch Of Multimeters In Response To Trademark Mess
from the good-response-to-a-bad-situation dept
That said, it appears that Fluke's management recognizes how this kind of situation can spiral out of control, and after spending about a day understanding the details, made a public offer to Sparkfun: giving the company a pile of Fluke multimeters and letting Sparkfun do what they want with them (sell them, donate them, burn them in a pyre, whatever). As Fluke notes, the value of the equipment it's giving Sparkfun exceeds the lost shipment:
Earlier today we contacted SparkFun and offered to provide a shipment of genuine Fluke equipment, free of charge for them to sell on their site or donate. The value of the equipment exceeds the value of the Customs-held shipment. SparkFun can resell the Fluke gear, recouping the cost of their impounded shipment, or donate it into the Maker community.Sparkfun accepted and has announced it will be donating the multimeters to educational institutions and schools. Given the situation and potential PR headache for Fluke, this was probably the best solution.
While we will continue to enforce our trademark, we are taking this one-time action because we believe in the work of SparkFun supporting the Maker and education communities. This is important to us. We have been supporters of the Maker community for years through the donation of over half a million dollars worth of tools and employee time to organizations like First Robotics.
It's not perfect however. There is still a shipment of 2,000 perfectly good hobbyist-level multimeters that are about to be destroyed for no good reason thanks to trademark law (what was that people were saying about trademarks being about "protecting" property rights? Seems like the opposite here...). Also, Fluke insists that it's going to continue to be aggressive about its trademarks in a somewhat misleading way:
Like any organization that designs and manufactures electronics, we actively work to stop lookalike products from making it to the marketplace. We do this to protect our company and the jobs of our employees. We also do so because it is a matter of safety for our customers. Our tools are used in high-energy industrial environments, where precision and safety is an absolute necessity.While it is true that trademark law, when used properly, should be about consumer protection, it seems to be going a bit far to suggest that a broad trademark on multimeters with a yellow and gray outer coating should give one company exclusivity over such a look. There is no indication that people were somehow confusing hobbyist-level multimeters like Sparkfun's with Fluke's high-end versions, nor any indication that anyone was using the cheap multimeters in a manner that put people at risk.
I mention this because we firmly believe that we must be – and will continue to be – vigilant in protecting Fluke and our customers. One step in doing that was registering a trademark protecting the look and feel of our devices so our customers know that if it looks like a Fluke it's a Fluke.
All in all, it's good to see Fluke quickly respond and try to make the best of the situation, but the underlying setup is still problematic.

Netizens are watching Sudan closely, following rumours that the Sudanese authorities intend to cut off the Internet – a chilling reminder of Egypt's attempt to silence activists and contain the January 25 revolution when it pulled the plug off the www on January 27.
On Twitter, Jordanian Ali Alhasani reports:
@_AHA: BREAKING: Reports that Internet has been CUT in #Sudan. If true then god be with them because we won't know anything! #SudanRevolts
Four hours ago, Egyptian journalist Salma Elwardany, who is reporting from Khartoum, tweeted:
@S_Elwardany: news that sudan govt might cut off internet #Sudanrevolts
In preparation for the anticipated blackout, a Speak to Tweet service has been set up. Rodrigo Davies tweets about it:
@rodrigodavis: Dear #Sudan, in case #Bashir cuts off the internet, Speak to Tweet using +16504194196 or +390662207294 #SudanRevolts #السودان_ينتفض
Netizens quickly compare notes on who is available online, in Sudan.
Sara Elhassan writes:
@BSonblast: @SudaneseThinker @Usiful_ME is in Sudan and he's still tweeting.
and Israeli Elizabeth Tsurkov adds:
@Elizrael: @JustAmira @SudaneseThinker seeing way too many people tweeting from Sudan for it to be true… See @elizrael/sudanpeeps
Protests broke out at Khartoum University on June 17, when hundreds of students denounced the government's planned austerity measures. The protests were met with police brutality and arrests, fueling more anger and protests the following days.
CNN's Ben Wedeman comments:
@bencnn: If #Egypt weren't such a 24/7 news tsunami #Sudan might be getting more attention. Sudan has a rich history of rebellion and revolution.
Arab Revolution adds:
@ArabRevolution: Watching #SudanRevolts videos reminds me of how #Yemen started. Tens in the street, but very passionate. All out revolution within weeks.
And the lack of news in mainstream media of what is happening in Sudan is annoying activists. Egyptian blogger Wael Abbas asks [ar]:
Al Jazeera, which provided blanket live coverage of the Egyptian revolution from its epi-centre in Tahrir Square in downtown Cairo, has been credited with 'exporting' the revolution spark to the living rooms of homes across the Arab world.

2.10: Offshore wind
The London Array offshore wind farm will make a crucial contribution to the UK's renewable energy targets.
James Smith, chairman of Shell UK
Electric power is too vital a commodity to be used as a job-creation programme for the wind turbine industry.
David J. White
Figure 10.1: Kentish Flats – a shallow offshore wind farm. Each rotor has a diameter of 90m centred on a hub height of 70m. Each "3 MW" turbine weighs 500 tons, half of which is its foundation. Photos © Elsam (elsam.com). Used with permission.
At sea, winds are stronger and steadier than on land, so offshore wind farms deliver a higher power per unit area than onshore wind farms. The Kentish Flats wind farm in the Thames Estuary, about 8.5 km offshore from Whitstable and Herne Bay, which started operation at the end of 2005, was predicted to have an average power per unit area of
I'll assume that a power per unit area of
We now need an estimate of the area of sea that could plausibly be covered with wind turbines. It is conventional to distinguish between shallow offshore wind and deep offshore wind, as illustrated in figure 10.2. Conventional wisdom seems to be that shallow offshore wind (depth less than 25–30m), while roughly twice as costly as land-based wind, is economically feasible, given modest subsidy; and deep offshore wind is at present not economically feasible. As of 2008, there's just one deep offshore windfarm in UK waters, an experimental prototype sending all its electricity to a nearby oilrig called Beatrice.
Shallow offshore
Within British territorial waters, the shallow area is about
The average power available from shallow offshore wind farms occupying the whole of this area would be 120 GW, or 48 kWh/d per person. But it's hard to imagine this arrangement being satisfactory for shipping. Substantial chunks of this shallow water would, I'm sure, remain off-limits for wind farms. The requirement for shipping corridors and fishing areas must reduce the plausibly-available area; I propose that we assume the available fraction is one third (but please see this chapter's end-notes for a more pessimistic view!). So we estimate the maximum plausible power from shallow offshore wind to be 16 kWh/d per person.
Figure 10.2: UK territorial waters with depth less than 25m (yellow) and depth between 25m and 50m (purple). Data from DTI Atlas of Renewable Marine Resources. © Crown copyright.
Before moving on, I want to emphasize the large area – two thirds of a Wales – that would be required to deliver this 16 kWh/d per person. If we take the total coastline of Britain (length: 3000 km), and put a strip of turbines 4 km wide all the way round, that strip would have an area of
Offshore wind is tough to pull off because of the corrosive effects of sea water. At the big Danish wind farm, Horns Reef, all 80 turbines had to be dismantled and repaired after only 18 months' exposure to the sea air. The Kentish Flats turbines seem to be having similar problems with their gearboxes, one third needing replacement during the first 18 months.
Deep offshore
The area with depths between 25m and 50m is about
I'll include this potential deep offshore contribution in the production stack, with the proviso, as I said before, that wind experts reckon deep offshore wind is prohibitively expensive.
Some comparisons and costs
So, how's our race between consumption and production coming along? Adding both shallow and deep offshore wind to the production stack, the green stack has a lead. Something I'd like you to notice about this race, though, is this contrast: how easy it is to toss a bigger log on the consumption fire, and how difficult it is to grow the production stack. As I write this paragraph, I'm feeling a little cold, so I step over to my thermostat and turn it up. It's so simple for me to consume an extra 30 kWh per day. But squeezing an extra 30 kWh per day per person from renewables requires an industrialization of the environment so large it is hard to imagine.
To create 48 kWh per day of offshore wind per person in the UK would require 60 million tons of concrete and steel – one ton per person. Annual world steel production is about 1200 million tons, which is 0.2 tons per person in the world. During the second world war, American shipyards built 2751 Liberty ships, each containing 7000 tons of steel – that's a total of 19 million tons of steel, or 0.1 tons per American. So the building of 60 million tons of wind turbines is not off the scale of achievability; but don't kid yourself into thinking that it's easy. Making this many windmills is as big a feat as building the Liberty ships.
Figure 10.3: Offshore wind.
For comparison, to make 48 kWh per day of nuclear power per person in the UK would require 8 million tons of steel and 0.14 million tons of concrete. We can also compare the 60 million tons of offshore wind hardware that we're trying to imagine with the existing fossil-fuel hardware already sitting in and around the North Sea (figure 10.4). In 1997, 200 installations and 7000 km of pipelines in the UK waters of the North Sea contained 8 million tons of steel and concrete. The newly built Langeled gas pipeline from Norway to Britain, which will convey gas with a power of 25 GW (10 kWh/d/p), used another 1 million tons of steel and 1 million tons of concrete (figure 10.5).
The UK government announced on 10th December 2007 that it would permit the creation of 33 GW of offshore wind capacity (which would deliver on average 10 GW to the UK, or 4.4 kWh per day per person), a plan branded "pie in the sky" by some in the wind industry. Let's run with a round figure of 4 kWh per day per person. This is one quarter of my shallow 16 kWh per day per person. To obtain this average power requires roughly 10000 "3 MW" wind turbines like those in figure 10.1. (They have a capacity of "3 MW" but on average they deliver 1 MW. I pop quotes round "3 MW" to indicate that this is a capacity, a peak power.)
What would this "33 GW"' of power cost to erect? Well, the "90 MW" Kentish Flats farm cost £105 million, so "33 GW" would cost about £33 billion. One way to clarify this £33 billion cost of offshore wind delivering 4 kWh/d per person is to share it among the UK population; that comes out to £550 per person. This is a much better deal, incidentally, than micro-turbines. A roof-mounted microturbine currently costs about £1500 and, even at a very optimistic windspeed of 6 m/s, delivers only 1.6 kWh/d. In reality, in a typical urban location in England, such microturbines deliver 0.2 kWh per day.
Figure 10.4: The Magnus platform in the northern UK sector of the North Sea contains 71000 tons of steel. In the year 2000 this platform delivered 3.8 million tons of oil and gas – a power of 5 GW. The platform cost £1.1 billion. Photos by Terry Cavner.
Another bottleneck constraining the planting of wind turbines is the special ships required. To erect 10000 wind turbines ("33 GW") over a period of 10 years would require roughly 50 jack-up barges. These cost £60 million each, so an extra capital investment of £3 billion would be required. Not a show-stopper compared with the £33bn price tag already quoted, but the need for jack-up barges is certainly a detail that requires some forward planning.
Costs to birds
Do windmills kill "huge numbers" of birds? Wind farms recently got adverse publicity from Norway, where the wind turbines on Smola, a set of islands off the north-west coast, killed 9 white-tailed eagles in 10 months. I share the concern of BirdLife International for the welfare of rare birds. But I think, as always, it's important to do the numbers. It's been estimated that 30000 birds per year are killed by wind turbines in Denmark, where windmills generate 9% of the electricity. Horror! Ban windmills! We also learn, moreover, that traffic kills one million birds per year in Denmark. Thirty-times-greater horror! Thirty-times-greater incentive to ban cars! And in Britain, 55 million birds per year are killed by cats (figure 10.6).
Figure 10.5: Pipes for Langeled. From Bredero–Shaw [brederoshaw.com].
Going on emotions alone, I would like to live in a country with virtually no cars, virtually no windmills, and with plenty of cats and birds (with the cats that prey on birds perhaps being preyed upon by Norwegian white-tailed eagles, to even things up). But what I really hope is that decisions about cars and windmills are made by careful rational thought, not by emotions alone. Maybe we do need the windmills!

The Kentish Flats wind farm in the Thames Estuary...
See www.kentishflats.co.uk. Its 30 Vestas V90 wind turbines have a total peak output of 90 MW, and the predicted average output was 32 MW (assuming a load factor of 36%).

...deep offshore wind is at present not economically feasible.
Source: BritishWind Energy Association briefing document, September 2005, www.bwea.com. Nevertheless, a deep offshore demonstration project in 2007 put two turbines adjacent to the Beatrice oil field, 22 km off the east coast of Scotland (figure 10.8). Each turbine has a "capacity" of 5 MW and sits in a water depth of 45m. Hub height: 107m; diameter 126m. All the electricity generated will be used by the oil platforms. Isn't that special! The 10 MW project cost £30 million – this price-tag of £3 per watt (peak) can be compared with that of Kentish Flats, £1.2 per watt (£105 million for 90 MW). www.beatricewind.co.uk
It's possible that floating wind turbines may change the economics of deep offshore wind.

What would "33 GW" of offshore wind cost? According to the DTI in November 2002, electricity from offshore wind farms costs about £50 per MWh (5p per kWh) (Dept. of Trade and Industry, 2002b). Economic facts vary, however, and in April 2007 the estimated cost of offshore was up to £92 per MWh (Dept. of Trade and Industry, 2007). By April 2008, the price of offshore wind evidently went even higher: Shell pulled out of their commitment to build the London Array. It's because offshore wind is so expensive that the Government is having to increase the number of ROCs (renewable obligation certificates) per unit of offshore wind energy. The ROC is the unit of subsidy given out to certain forms of renewable electricity generation. The standard value of a ROC is £45, with 1 ROC per MWh; so with a wholesale price of roughly £40/MWh, renewable generators are getting paid £85 per MWh. So 1 ROC per MWh is not enough subsidy to cover the cost of £92 per MWh. In the same document, estimates for other renewables (medium levelized costs in 2010) are as follows. Onshore wind: £65–89/MWh; co-firing of biomass: £53/MWh; large-scale hydro: £63/MWh; sewage gas: £38/MWh; solar PV: £571/MWh; wave: £196/MWh; tide: £177/MWh.
"Dale Vince, chief executive of green energy provider Ecotricity, which is engaged in building onshore wind farms, said that he supported the Government's [offshore wind] plans, but only if they are not to the detriment of onshore wind. 'It's dangerous to overlook the fantastic resource we have in this country... By our estimates, it will cost somewhere in the region of £40bn to build the 33 GW of offshore power Hutton is proposing. We could do the same job onshore for £20bn'." [57984r]

Among the best results in the Warwick Wind Trials study is a Windsave WS1000 (a 1-kW machine) in Daventry mounted at a height of 15m above the ground, generating 0.6 kWh/d on average. But some microturbines deliver only 0.05 kWh per day – Source: Donnachadh McCarthy: "My carbon-free year," The Independent, December 2007 [6oc3ja]. The Windsave WS1000 wind turbine, sold across England in B&Q's shops, won an Eco-Bollocks award from Housebuilder's Bible author Mark Brinkley: "Come on, it's time to admit that the roof-mounted wind turbine industry is a complete fiasco. Good money is being thrown at an invention that doesn't work. This is the Sinclair C5 of the Noughties." [5soql2]. The Met Office and Carbon Trust published a report in July 2008 [6g2jm5], which estimates that, if small-scale turbines were installed at all houses where economical in the UK, they would generate in total roughly 0.7 kWh/d/p. They advise that roof-mounted turbines in towns are usually worse than useless: "in many urban situations, roof-mounted turbines may not pay back the carbon emitted during their production, installation and operation."

Though my religious affiliation can best be summed up with a long puzzled silence, there are certain things from my youth that I carry with me to this day, like praying when the plane jets down the runway, and setting up the nativity scene before Christmas.
Our nativity set is a bit battered though, so I've been on the lookout for something a bit more contemporary to add to our decor this holiday season. Here, a few beautiful (and sometimes pretty funky) sets that may fit into your holiday as well. –Christina
As a long time fan of the wooden teething toys from Little Alouette, I especially love the clean lines and simple shapes in her Modern Nativity Set. But before you think a baby is supposed to gum on Joseph, please note that this is not a teething toy but a real nativity set for less toothy play and also for display. ($75)
Entirely made of used and scrap wood and found objects, the Nativity Set from Bunny With a Tool Belt is most definitely meant to be displayed on a high shelf. Abstract but makin
Bright and cartoony, Alessi's Presepe Nativity Set conveys all of the joy of the season in the baby's happy uplifted hands. I can't imagine not smiling every time I see Mary's big heart and Joseph's contended expression. (on sale for $130 at our affiliate Amazon)
Finally, though not a traditional nativity set, I couldn't resist sharing the adorably knit Nativity Finger Puppets from CMP favorite WeeKnits. The ten little puppets would make such a great stocking stuffer, or, perhaps take them out at that extra long Christmas service when the kids are starting to get antsy. ($23)

Monday marked the three-month anniversary of the opening of PHX Sky Train, the $1.58 billion people-mover that opened April 8 at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
The automated train system connects passengers for free between Terminal 4, the East Economy parking lot and the Metro light-rail station at 44th and Washington streets.
The Republic checked in with Sky Harbor officials to see how Sky Train has fared.
Question: Are people riding PHX Sky Train?
Answer: As of the end of June, more than 850,000 people have ridden it, airport spokeswoman Heather Lissner said. On average, about 70,000 people per week ride the train. So far, this exceeds officials' original ridership estimates of 2.5 million in the first year, or about 48,000 per week.
Q: What are the train's peak times?
A: According to the airport, Sky Train is busiest on Thursdays and Fridays, generally in the mornings between 5 and 8 and afternoons between noon and 3.
Q: What service changes or adjustments have airport officials made since April 8?
A: Sky Train cars now have signs with QR codes that passengers can use to more easily send feedback to Sky Harbor staff. The airport also has adjusted several signs and announcements to help travelers find their way.
"We have also made improvements to signage and wayfinding such as platform signs at the Terminal 4 station to indicate the direction of the various gates," Lissner said. "Due to the bidirectional travel at the East Economy station, the announcements and digital messaging were adjusted so that passengers can know which direction the approaching train is going."
The bike racks and bike lockers at the 44th Street Station were more popular than expected, prompting the airport to add more, she said.
Q: What have people liked about Sky Train?
A: Lissner said the airport has mainly received compliments about how easy it is to ride Sky Train and how quickly it connects the East Economy lot, the light-rail station and Terminal 4.
Travelers also have given positive feedback about the ability to check in bags early for free at the East Economy station, a service that has been available since December.
Q: What have people complained about?
A: The biggest complaints have been from travelers who park in the East Economy lot but who are going to Terminals 2 and 3, and thus have to transfer from the Sky Train to a bus, Lissner said. The next stage of Sky Train construction, slated for completion in early 2015, will connect Terminal 4 with Terminal 3, with a walkway to Terminal 2.
"We have been encouraging travelers to plan their parking," Lissner said. Those flying out of Terminals 2 or 3 should park in West Economy or the terminal garages, while those using Terminal 4 should park in East Economy or the Terminal 4 garage.
Q: What are you keeping an eye out for to possibly adjust in the future?
A: "We are continuously monitoring ridership to determine if adjustments in operations are needed, such as adding another train into service during peak ridership periods," Lissner said.
Airport officials are also continuing to encourage people to pick up and drop off passengers at the 44th Street Sky Train station, rather than drive into the airport's terminals.
"The station provides a handy and traffic-free experience for drivers so that they do not have to come all the way into the airport," Lissner said.

We all have our opinions on the ill- fated 1996 TV Movie Doctor Who: 'Sylvester McCoy deserved better!' 'The plot was a hackneyed cut and paste job of sci-fi clichés, Doctor Who mythology and tedious Y2K gubbins.' 'ERIC ROBERTS!'
What can't be denied is that a lot of good came from it too – the Big Finish Eighth Doctor audio adventures, the renewed interest in Doctor Who as a viable product (9 million of us sat and watched it on BBC 1) and, of course, the TARDIS interior.
Like bow ties on a 900 odd year-old resident of Gallifrey – it shouldn't work.
The iconographic melding of H.G. Wells and steampunk was so on the nose the Doctor might as well have been travelling around in an old grandfather clock (judging by how many other clock references there are in the movie, it was probably considered at some point) but somehow its clever design work and fusty arcane look sold the flawed concept.
That interior is one of my favourite TARDIS designs.
And now, its currently being fawned over by life long Doctor Who fan, writer and producer Paul J. Salamoff who was practically given it through a friend of a friend.
While talking about the time he spent chatting with legendary director Steven Spielberg (who was once involved with what became the 1996 TV Movie) while producing a video for the The Adventures of Tintin video game Salamoff – speaking to Science Fiction Zone – said:
"I produced a movie called Cemetery Gates and the boyfriend of the make-up artist' on the movie owned the prop company that had the TARDIS console. He was looking to get rid of it and so he sold it to me for next to nothing."
I actually hate him… not only does he own that console which cost him next to nothing but the movie has nothing to do with The Smiths either!
To make matters worse/geekier Salamoff lives down the street from Daphne Ashbook, who played Grace in the 1996 Movie:
"I told her, 'Any time you want to come down and relive the memories you are more than welcome to'."
My inner eleven year-old is currently doing the mental equivalent of tugging at my sleeve while pointing towards a shop window demanding to have it and the incumbent lifestyle such set design promises… Alas…
For more on Salamoff's career, his life long love of Doctor Who and his work on an upcoming bio-comic based on Doctor Who head over to Science Fiction Zone.

Denver Nuggets fans knew taking down the high-flying Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA playoffs would be a tall order. And last night we got a glimpse of just how difficult winning will be, after the Thunder downed the Nuggets 107-103 in the first game of their best-of-seven series. "We're upset right now, but we'll figure it out," says Denver guard Raymond Felton (Denver Post). The Nuggets were charging late but seemed to be thrown off their game when the Thunder got away with a blatant offensive goaltending call. "I was in shock," says coach George Karl (Yahoo! Sports). "Because of it, I don't think we executed very well in the last minute of the game. It kind of froze us."
The Nuggets are right to take issue—and they've let the league know they're peeved—but the call is no excuse. Denver was an abysmal 21-33 from the free throw line, a major factor in a game lost by just four points (NBA.com box score). It will also be hard to win if they continue to let the Thunder's two stars combine for more than 70 points. The Nuggets have until Wednesday night to figure out a new defensive scheme—and perhaps practice some free throws.

And then.....
What happened to you guys? What happened next? You can't leave me hanging like this.
Back to India!
Trip Start
Apr 30, 2006
Trip End
Mar 25, 2007
What does all of this equate to? 1.1 billion people; 10 major religions (worshipping 330,000,000 deities (yes, 330 MILLION); 1,600 languages; 4 varnas (castes) with thousands of jatis (sub-castes) - which you are born into. All of this, plus the "normal" social strata (such as income, education, occupation...)... put it together, add 3 shakes of colonial rule and you have (to put it mildly) an extremely multi-dimensional society.
Before going back to southern India we often heard "The south is sooo much different than the north." Well, this IS true.. but is true in a sarcastic "no shit" sort of way. It is like saying a turnip and a fish are different. They are different, but so is an apple and a fish. What we are saying is that, "yes," south India is different from the north; but not to a higher degree than how Kashmir is different than Delhi; which is different from Punjab; which is different from Himashal Pradesh (which are all located in the north). If you travel for 3 hours by train, from any point in India you are bound to see different deities being worshiped; different pilgrimages; hear different languages and experience, in general, a different culture. And that's what makes India so great!
This log centers around Tamil Nadu; where everyone speaks Tamil, where there is an elephant giving blessings at every temple and men wear skirts (sarongs). We visited many temples, many beaches and battled for train seats with pilgrims (and lost). Enjoy!

In Reply to: B&K Dynascan 747 tester tube tester posted by tesla on April 18, 2004 at 01:36:36:
You may not need to do much at all. After exhausting all the tips that Jim and other members offered to no avail, I changed the two light bulbs (#44, I believe). Tester calibrated up right away. Try that first, but you may want to change a few of the caps and such anyway.
Follow Ups:
You can tell if the bulbs are good because they should both glow dimly and equally. The sockets can be troublesome. Correct bulb for a 747 is a #55.
Hi,Is it difficult to get these bulbs. Any where i can order online. How do you check if bulbs are bad and need replacing?
Antique Electronic Supply has the bulbs listed on page 58 of their catalog. They have all those hard to find Hickok bulbs also. Part number for the #55 is P-55 and shows $2.95 for a pack of ten bulbs. Really, the bulbs rarely go bad. They should just glow equally in the sockets--if they do they are good. You would not want a bright bulb and a dim one. There's more trouble with poor connections at the socket, than there is with the bulbs themselves.
Chris,It was also mentioned that the caps shouyld be changed. I have the new ones, though not i axial form. The original ones have an arrow pointing to one lead with the negative sign in it. Just never dealt with these caps before, do i presume right that the arrow point to the negative?
I just want to be sure as I did adjust the set as the manaul states but get very low reading with all my Tungsol 6550 only in the middle green range which is questionable, even for the tubes that we bought as new and sure look it. but my svetlana show much better a reading. Any clues or my tubes are bad?Anything else i can do to be sure the tester is reading reasonably-i got it off ebay.
Modern electrolytic caps have the arrow pointing to the negative, and it's easy to confirm this. The can will be negative and the lead coming from the insulated end of the cap will be positive. Old electroytic caps tended to have the positive end marked--why they changed is anyone's guess.Tubes that read mid-green on the meter should be fine. Mid-green is where new tubes are supposed to test. Just because the other 6550's test higher does not mean that they will perform any better in the amp or last any longer. Everyone using tube testers needs to remember what they were designed to do: find bad tubes. Bad tubes are those that are likely to cause trouble in tube gear due to inadequate gain, shorts, or grid current. Tube testers were not designed to determine the "goodness" of a new tube, or determine if a tube had ever been used before. Determining "goodness" was a job for lab equipment, and determining if a tube has ever been used comes closer to the crystal ball department.
When I was talking about the can being negative I was talking about the axial caps seen on most older equipment. Modern radial caps may not have the can as part of the cap's circuit.

Reply to: | Meaning and origin of the Name Yaretzi by Yaretzi |
I checked Yaretzi a while ago for my own database and didn't find a good source that confirms the meaning of "you are beloved" (or any other meaning). Unfortunately it does not mean much to find info like that in many places all over the Internet because there is so much copying going on.Regarding Nahuatl I found this however:
http://ancientscripts.livejournal.com/100602.html?thread=354554See the posting and the answer at the end of this article about Nahuatl: That language has no "r" sound, so a name like Yaretzi as Nahuatl does not fly.
That let me personally doubt "you are beloved" as well.

Choro Music Project
The Choro Music Project (CMP) uses the power of music to change the world, one grace note at a time.
What is the Choro Music Project?
The CMP is a social entrepreneurship that invests in rural and poor entrepreneurs around the globe through microfinancing. The concept of microfinancing involves making small business loans available to people who otherwise would not be able to access funding through traditional economic means.
How Does Microfinancing Work?
We are partnering with the microfinance non-profit Kiva, headquartered in San Francisco, CA. Borrowers make loan requests through various field partners located in-country. Kiva collects money from investors (e.g., CMP) to fulfill the loan and transfers the funds to the field partners for disbursement to the borrower. The borrower agrees to repay the loan to the field partner over time. Those repayments are sent back to Kiva and returned to the investors, at which time the money is available to be re-invested in another loan or withdrawn from Kiva. You can learn more about the process on Kiva's website, or by watching the short video below.
(How Kiva Works from Kiva on Vimeo)
This "revolving loan" feature of Kiva's microfinancing is one of the most desirable aspects of the program. Kiva's repayment rate is nearly 99%. This means that any money loaned by CMP will almost always be returned to CMP to be invested in another entrepreneur. Kiva provides these low-income businessmen and women a "hand up" rather than a "hand out", empowering them to make a living for themselves and their families.
Our Role
The CMP will invest a portion of profits made from our music, including gigs, events, and CD and merchandise sales. The minimum amount to be invested in a Kiva loan is $25. Once the loan is repaid, the funds are available to be re-invested again or withdrawn for business purposes, in order to promote and broaden the impact of the CMP.
Our goal is to be invested in every country in the world in which Kiva has field partners. Currently, Kiva is operating in 84 countries and growing. This will provide a truly global reach for CMP.
The CMP strives to be as transparent as possible while making a difference in the world. All CMP funds have been re-invested through Kiva to date.

yep - she owned.
I have to say I've enjoyed the coverage I've been able to catch (once the kids go to bed). Last night was Raisman, men's high bar with that crazy Dutch kid winning gold, and then the men's 1500 with Manzano kicking his way from 6th to 2nd in the last 150 or so. That was crazy. Sad for Lolo but Pearson was the bomb.
Also - I noticed Galen Rupp got silver in the 10,000. U.S. runners generally don't medal in these events (1500, 5,000, 10,000) and sometimes don't even get past the heats (Alan Webb I'm looking at you). Mad props to Rupp and Manzano. USA!
