Natural gas supplier: We'll still take on PSNH
By DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
Big spikes in the price of natural gas forced one competitive energy supplier out of the New Hampshire electricity market, at least for now, but other suppliers say PSNH will continue to face tough competition for the foreseeable future.
Wholesale prices for natural gas, which hovered between $2 to $4 per mmbtu (million metric British thermal units) most of last year, started climbing in November, and hit a high of $34.65 on Jan. 24, before going back down to $15.39 on Feb. 19, and $6.18 on Feb. 22, according to Bloomberg News.
"It's been a wild ride over the past several weeks," said Taff Tschamler, senior vice president for North American Power, based in Norwalk, Conn., which began offering energy to New Hampshire electric consumers in December, and claims to already have 20,000 customers.
The company has been mailing and marketing aggressively, with 7.29 cents per kwh guaranteed for six months, compared to the PSNH energy service charge of 9.54 cents.
Competitive energy provider Power New England (PNE), based in Manchester, had to suspend operations last week - while it was in the middle of selling its 8,500 customer accounts to FairPoint Energy - due to financial problems triggered by the rising gas prices.
PNE was more vulnerable than other competitors because it was buying energy on the spot market, rather than relying on long-term contracts with suppliers. Prices for long-term contracts have gone up as well, said Tschamler, but not nearly as much.
The competitors
Competitors entered the New Hampshire residential market last year for the first time in large part because declining natural gas prices made it possible for them to compete with PSNH, leaving many consumers to wonder if a spike in natural gas prices will cause them to retreat.
Not likely, said Tschamler.
"I would say that prices would have to rise much, much more than they already have, and for many more months of the year, for the market to become unattractive to North American Power. It is attractive today, even with these high prices, because this is just a two- or three-month period of the year when prices always go up. It's not clear they will be like that moving forward."
Kevin Dean is co-president of ENH Power, which started enrolling New Hampshire customers in August of last year, and now claims to have 50,000, with a current offer of 7.28 cents per kwh. Like North American, his company purchases contracts in advance and is not as vulnerable to daily fluctuations in price.
Dean said companies like his entered the New Hampshire market in the past year for several reasons, and historically low natural gas prices was just one of them. Changes in technology, particularly social media, have changed the landscape for marketing energy, he said, and changes in New Hampshire regulatory requirements made PSNH energy more expensive.
It will take a lot more than seasonal variations in the price of natural gas to reverse those trends. "High gas prices are going to affect both the competitive supplier and the utility," Dean said, "so both of us will be affected. Our competitive supply will still make sense because we don't have all the stranded costs that these utilities have."
A problem with supply
While competitors like ENH and North American say they are here to stay, that doesn't necessarily mean prices won't rise, especially given the historically low energy rates consumers enjoyed throughout 2012, based on a remarkably mild winter in 2011.
Wholesale electricity prices in New England fell by nearly 23 percent last year, to their lowest levels since 2003, according to ISO-NE, the independent system operator for the New England power grid.
As long-term pricing is adjusted to reflect the realities of the current winter, consumers will feel the pinch as their current contracts expire. Supply is tightening as more consumers convert to natural gas. There may be abundant gas in the ground, but there is only so much pipeline capacity into the region.
Pipeline operators are planning expansion projects, but they need to have the purchase contracts lined up first, and clear all the regulatory hurdles. Most energy industry observers agree the region is years away from any meaningful increase in pipeline capacity, despite the fact that it is almost entirely reliant on natural gas for electricity.
Price peaks and valleys
The price of natural gas for residential heating has not gone up during the recent spikes on the spot market because companies like Liberty Utilities have reserved capacity at a fixed price, according to Tom Kiley of the Northeast Gas Association, which represents natural gas distribution companies.
"The bills that natural gas consumers are paying are significantly lower than what they were paying four or five years ago," he said, "but they are going to be paying a little more next year. The price increase is not going to be overly significant, and will still be significantly lower than other fuels."
The high demand on a relative fixed volume of natural gas coming into the region has meant that the coal-fired plants operated by PSNH have been activated frequently this winter, according to PSNH spokesman Martin Murray.
"Our largest coal boiler in Bow has been running every single day of 2013," he said. "If we can procure the energy we need more economically in the marketplace, we do so. But New Hampshire is fortunate to have regulated generation to ride out these very volatile times."
While the price peaks and valleys have drawn attention to the region's reliance on natural gas, they have not caused a dramatic increase in prices at the consumer level, at least not for now, except for large customers who decided to take their chance on the spot market.
"Anyone without a firm contract and a firm price has been susceptible to these fluctuations," Murray said.

While originally planned for Phoronix Test Suite 2.0, I have just pushed support for "reference system comparisons" into the Git master repository for the Phoronix Test Suite 1.8 release. This initial implementation makes it possible to easily compare your system's performance results to other reference systems. Of course, quite easily you can already compare your results to others via Phoronix Global, but the reference systems will be broken down into just a few categories -- likely Low, Medium, and High end systems. This feature provides a quick assessment at how your Linux, *BSD, OpenSolaris, or Mac OS X system is performing compared against standard systems.
From the command-line interface the user can run: phoronix-test-suite reference-comparison <saved results identifier>. If that saved results file is made up of tests that support this feature, you will then be prompted to select which reference systems to compare your results to. The reference system names along with their prominent software/hardware is listed. After that, the results with the reference system(s) will merge and will be displayed in your web-browser.
Furthermore, this feature has also been implemented in the GTK2 GUI. Once a test has finished running of a supported test profile, available reference systems are then displayed and the user can check the boxes for which system(s) for comparing their results.
Below is a YouTube video showing the interface (once the testing has started, skip to about 1:50 unless you enjoy watching the terminal).
Within three minutes of running the Phoronix Test Suite, the user can already begin to assess how their system is performing.
All of the pts-core changes to offer this reference system comparison are now in Git. The only test profile to implement this support right now is the encode-ogg test profile. Before the Phoronix Test Suite 1.8 release, more test profiles may be supported with this feature. By Phoronix Test Suite 2.0, a majority -- if not all -- of the test profiles should offer this capability with at least some low, medium, and high end desktops and possibly a few servers. For the OEM vendors on this list, please contact me if you would be interested in submitting hardware for use as reference systems or would be interested in submitting the results, which will prominently be shown to Phoronix Test Suite users in these comparisons.
Any feedback on this feature is certainly welcome.

You might e-mail one of the reviewers. I wasn't able to find anything definitive either.
I know that a "going out caching" get-together isn't considered an event. You generally have to have a "breaking of bread" or game or CITO plan to make the cut.
They don't like commercial promotions. So if you're selling your house, don't list an open house as an event. ;)

In case you missed it, go to recordnet.com or dig Thursday's Record out of the recycling bin and read staff writer Jo Ann Kirby's story on a swim skills class for toddlers.
In case you missed it, go to recordnet.com or dig Thursday's Record out of the recycling bin and read staff writer Jo Ann Kirby's story on a swim skills class for toddlers.
The class teaches infants and children 5 years old and younger swim skills. These won't be imitating Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps anytime soon, but they will learn how to hold their breath, turn onto their backs and move about the water if they were to fall into a pool.
Those are key skills for a child to learn to avoid accidental drowning.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 10 people die a day in the U.S. from unintentional drowning in nonboating-related accidents.
Of that number, about one in five are younger than 14. And for every child who drowns, another five receive emergency department care for nonfatal submersion injuries, such as a 5-year-old camper who nearly drowned earlier this week in the Lincoln High School pool.
Those numbers are scary enough, but they become even more frightening when dissected further.
From 2005 to 2009, the drowning rate for black children was "significantly higher than that of whites across all ages," the CDC states. The largest disparity is among children ages 5 to 14, where African-American children in that age group drown at three times the rate of white children.
The CDC cites a number of factors, including: access to pools and lack of desire to learn how to swim.
A 2010 study by the USA Swimming Foundation and the University of Memphis reported that nearly 70 percent of African-American children ages 4 to 18 do not know how to swim.
And that's where the YMCA of San Joaquin County comes in.
The organization is operating six public pools in Stockton - Oak Park, Kennedy Park, McKinley Park, Brooking Park, Lincoln High School and Weston Ranch High School.
And with about another five to six weeks of swimming lessons to do and the pools operating through Labor Day, the YMCA is in need of money.
How much?
Somewhere in the neighborhood of $40,000, said Rich Good, YMCA executive director. As of last week, the YMCA had raised about $26,000.
In some cases, part of the money goes toward the costs of operating the pool. That would be the case at the Oak Park and McKinley pools. At the sites where the pool is located at a high school, such as the Lincoln and Weston Ranch pools, part of the money is used for staffing.
Pools are not cheap.
It costs about $30,000 to $35,000 to operate the pools for the season, Good said.
The money is also used to offset the cost of aid to those who cannot afford to pay to use the pool or take swimming lessons.
Last year, the YMCA had $76,000 in scholarship requests but only $20,000 to dole out to potential pool users. So to try and make the money go further, they offered a number of partial scholarships.
But what the YMCA staff learned is that those who have not had their financial need met - for example, someone who has received a partial scholarship instead of a full one - just won't come. That is a sign that they could not afford to pay their portion of the pool cost.
So far this year, the YMCA has not turned anyone away, Good said. But that need is always there, even with the large donation that allowed the YMCA to operate camps at Kennedy, McKinley and Oak Park pools.
Figuring out the potential need is always the hard part, Good said.
But one part remains clear. The 158-year-old agency needs help so the pools can operate through the summer.
"The story that I have told is I know we need more," Good said. "Is it $40,000? I do not know, but we will try to raise $40,000."

SALEM, W.Va. - A King College women's basketball duo scored in double-digits as the Lady Tornado picked up a 62-48 win at Salem International (W.Va.) University Saturday.
Brianna Kelley (Greeneville, Tenn.) posted a career-high 17 points to lead all scorers by going 5-for-5 from the field and 7-for-8 at the free throw line.
Kalen Collins (Wise, Va.) netted a season-best 15 points and had eight rebounds.
The Lady Tornado capitalized at the free throw line with season highs in attempts and makes. King finished the game 24-for-35 (68.6 percent). The previous season high in both categories came on Dec. 4 when the team was 22-for-30 against Virginia Intermont College.
King improved to 5-13 and won back-to-back games for the first time this season. King defeated Washington Adventist 82-53 on Sunday. Saturday's victory was also the first in a road game as the Washington Adventist contest was on a neutral court. Overall King has a 2-9 mark away from Bristol.
The lead was owned by King for the entire game except for the opening 54 seconds. Brittany Wells put Salem, now at 0-16 on the season, up 2-0 then Collins tied things. Derika Mooney (Athens, Tenn.) sunk two free throws and the Lady Tornado went from there. Eventually the game saw King lead 12-3 seven minutes in with six of the points coming on two Jessica Tharpe (Sevierville, Tenn.) three pointers.
Mooney's jumper with 2:40 left in the half gave King a 15-point lead, 24-9. When the half ended the Lady Tornado enjoyed a 27-15 lead. The 15 points are the fewest allowed by the King defense in any half this season, four fewer than Carson-Newman (Tenn.) College had in the opening half on Dec. 11.
In the second half Salem answered with a spurt to make it a six-point game, 31-25. Carrie Moore's three capped the home team's 10-4 run. King answered with a 17-point outburst, including six from Collins in a 2:46 run.
With 8:39 to go Kelley's two free throws gave King a 48-28 lead, the first time the margin grew to 20. It was part of a 9-0 run that saw the Lady Tornado lead 52-28 with 7:25 left.
Brittany Kinser (Greeneville, Tenn.) scored King's last points with 4:13 to go as the Lady Tornado led 62-39 at that point.
Despite the score both teams hit 18 baskets with King going 18-for-59 (30.5 percent) and Salem 18-for-57 (31.6 percent). Salem had five 3-pointers compared to two for King, both from Tharpe.
Brittany Wells had 11 points for Salem. Treshaun Robertson pulled in 12 of Salem's 37 rebounds.
The 48 points matches the fewest King has allowed this season, matching Virginia Intermont's output on Nov. 19.
King remains on the road with a Tuesday trip to North Greenville (S.C.) University. The game was rescheduled from Thursday due to the winter weather. Tuesday's game has a 6 p.m. scheduled start.

CONVENT — The multiparish agency tasked with taking over operations of the St. James Youth Center continues to hope that officials in Assumption Parish can have a new juvenile detention facility ready by July 1.
The St. James Youth Center Multijurisdictional Commission, which consists of representatives from eight parishes, met Friday morning to hear an update on the Assumption Parish efforts.
Assumption Parish Sheriff Mike Waguespack was unable to attend the meeting, but he spoke on the phone with Eric Deroche, St. James Parish's director of emergency preparedness, and Deroche relayed details from that conversation with the eight members of the commission in attendance Friday.
Deroche said Assumption Parish officials are working with the Louisiana Juvenile Detention Association to write policies for the new juvenile detention facility, which actually will be converted from the current Assumption Parish Detention Center in Napoleonville. A new adult detention center is being constructed next to the present location, and the new facility is expected to be open by June, Deroche said.
St. James Parish intends to stop operating its youth detention facility on June 30 due to new regulations enacted last year by the state Legislature. As of July 1, all juvenile detention centers in the state must be licensed by the state Department of Children and Family Services, also known as DCFS, and Deroche said it wasn't cost-effective for St. James to pursue licensing at its facility.
Trey Williams, a DCFS spokesman, said that department officials are assisting Assumption Parish officials, but that DCFS hasn't received an application from the parish for a juvenile detention center license. He said DCFS officials went on a walkthrough at the facility recently and are consulting with parish officials on their plan.
"We're working with them under the assumption they are planning to file for a license," Williams said. "We can't move much further until we get that application."
Deroche admitted that Assumption Parish officials are running into some of the "same issues we have here in St. James" as far as needing to request waivers on certain licensing requirements from DCFS.
He said, however, that St. James officials "are making progress," and that "the June 30 date should be sufficient in order to transfer everything over."
Should the Assumption Parish facility not be ready on time, St. James Parish President Timmy Roussel said, DCFS may allow the St. James Youth Center to continue temporary operations without a license until the Assumption facility can take the juvenile offenders.
Williams said DCFS officials would prefer all regulatory issues be corrected prior to licensing, but waivers likely would be available if physical requirements of the building, such as the size of rooms or ceiling heights, can't be met.
"Those decisions have not been made," Williams said.
Commissioners asked Deroche about the specifics of the waivers Waguespack was seeking, the expected capacity of the Assumption Parish facility, the expected costs to parishes for each offender and whether the facility will be open to other parishes outside of the eight-parish region.
"I can't see him turning someone away if he's got empty beds," St. James Parish Sheriff Willy Martin said.
The St. James Youth Center has been operating at or below about 25 percent of its capacity in recent months, officials have said.
"My understanding is (the eight parishes) will be guaranteed a bed," said 29th Judicial District Judge Michele Morel, who sits on the commission made up of representatives from Ascension, Assumption, Iberville, Pointe Coupee, St. Charles, St. James, St. John the Baptist and West Baton Rouge parishes.
Deroche said he wasn't sure what the capacity of the new facility would be, though he said it would be able to handle many more than the 12 juveniles who were housed at the St. James Youth Center on Friday.
In addition, Deroche said, the costs at the new facility would be much lower. Officials have estimated the cost to be about $130 per day per juvenile, about $100 less than the cost at the St. James Youth Center.
Because the Assumption facility would be housed next to an adult detention center, Deroche said, there would be duplication of staff and services, such as laundry and medical facilities, that would save money.
"If we could do that here in St. James, cost wouldn't an issue," Deroche said.

text: Environmental Waste Services, Garland Stormwater Department and Industrial Pretreatment are calling on residents to "Cease the Grease" this holiday season. After you fry or bake your holiday turkey, how about "thinking green" to recycle the grease? Fats, Oil and Grease (FOG) improperly disposed down the kitchen drain, toilet, or storm drain system can cause property damage, health hazards and environmental problems and lead to costly plumbing problems. Avoid these problems. Instead of throwing away your used cooking oil, bring it to the Cease the Grease (CtG) station at the Garland Drop-Off Recycling Center at 1426 Commerce St. Residents can pick up empty CtG containers at the red CtG recycling station, fill the container with used cooking oil and bring it back to the CtG station. Citizens are also free to use their own capped containers. For larger quantities of liquid grease, drop off at the CtG station in a sealed plastic container and deposit in front of the CtG station. The Drop-Off Recycling Center is open Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Grease collected is recycled to make biogas used to fuel a Wastewater Treatment Plant in Dallas County.

JDBC and MySQL
This document describes how to set up your Arch system so MySQL Databases can be accessed via Java programs.
Installing MySQL
install package mysql available in the Official Repositories.
There are now two "fixes" you have to make. Firstly edit the file
/etc/mysql/my.cnf to allow network access. Find the line with skip_networking in and comment it out so it looks like this
Finally start mysql up with :
# /etc/rc.d/mysqld start
Installing JDBC
JDBC PKGBUILD is currently in AUR repository.
You can also download it from http://www.mysql.com/products/connector-j/ and
( x=mysql-connector-java-*-bin.jar; install -D $x /opt/java/jre/lib/ext/${x##*/} )
To access mysql's command line tool,
$ mysql
Creating the test database
The following commands create a database and allow a user 'paulr'. You will need to change the user name to whatever yours is.
create database emotherearth; grant all privileges on emotherearth.* to paulr@localhost identified by "paulr"; flush privileges;
Now press Ctrl+D to exit the command line tool.
Creating the test program
Use an editor to create a file DBDemo.java with the following code in it. You will need to change the username and password appropriately.
import java.sql.*; import java.util.Properties; public class DBDemo { // The JDBC Connector Class. private static final String dbClassName = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"; // Connection string. emotherearth is the database the program // is connecting to. You can include user and password after this // by adding (say) ?user=paulr&password=paulr. Not recommended! private static final String CONNECTION = "jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1/emotherearth"; public static void main(String[] args) throws ClassNotFoundException,SQLException { System.out.println(dbClassName); // Class.forName(xxx) loads the jdbc classes and // creates a drivermanager class factory Class.forName(dbClassName); // Properties for user and password. Here the user and password are both 'paulr' Properties p = new Properties(); p.put("user","paulr"); p.put("password","paulr"); // Now try to connect Connection c = DriverManager.getConnection(CONNECTION,p); System.out.println("It works !"); c.close(); } }
Running the Program
To compile and run the program enter
javac DBDemo.java java DBDemo
and hopefully, it should print out
This is the database connection com.mysql.jdbc.Driver It works !

Schalk and Saxton win beach volleyball World Cup trials
TORONTO – Chaim Schalk of Red Deer, Alta., and Ben Saxton of Calgary earned Canada's berth for next month's FIVB World Cup beach volleyball final on Saturday winning the deciding match at the team trials.
The contest was held indoors at the Beach High Performance Facility at Downsview Park in Toronto.
Schalk and Saxton defeated Christian Redmann and Matt Zbyszewski of Toronto 24-22, 21-18. It was the second big win this fall for the Alberta pair who took gold at a stop on the NORCECA (North, Central America and Caribbean) circuit in late September.
"We tried to keep the same strategy," said Schalk. "And that was not to give up any long point runs. We weren't quite as consistent as yesterday, and at times sloppy, but Christian's service put us into trouble at times."
The FIVB World Cup final is scheduled for January 9-13 in Brazil and will offer more than $300,000 in cash prizes. Schalk and Saxton plan to travel to California before the event to get some valuable outdoor training time.
"Our block defence this weekend here was very good," said Saxton. "We want to improve on the consistency of our serves, and to especially serve hard on a more consistent basis as well."
On the women's side, Liz Maloney and Heather Bansley of Toronto had already locked up the World Cup spot. They were Canada's top-ranked international team all season.

Fits great. Looks great, constructed very well. I place a rolled up blanket to fill in the dip in the seat. The reviews had it sold for me. Now I know after a few dozen uses that it keeps the dog hairs off the rest of the car. No bad factory smell either. Straps and hooks are all in the right place!! It holds its place and we have two adult labs. We want to get one for our truck too!!

The stories of our lives start at home. Most of us share fond and sometimes turbulent stories with friends and relatives which stay with us. They mold us to whom we are, and where we will go in life. As a Motion Picture Director, Peter Bratt decided he wanted to share his life experiences and if you have a brother, that happens to be a Mega Movie Star too, why not have your Carnal help you share your dream. Benjamin and Peter Bratt grew up in the Mission District in San Francisco California. The story they now share in a major motion picture which has a few characters we all know or know of in our own lives.
La Mission, Character Che Rivera (Benjamin Bratt) has always had to be tough to survive. He's a powerful man respected throughout the Mission Barrio for his masculinity and his strength, as well as for his building of beautiful Lowrider cars. At the same time, he's also a man feared for his street tough ways and violent temper. A reformed inmate and recovering alcoholic, Che has worked hard to redeem his life and do right by his pride and joy; his only son, Jes, whom he has raised on his own after the death of his wife. Che's path to redemption is tested, however, when he discovers Jes is gay. In a rage, Che violently beats Jes, disowning him. He loses his son – and looses himself in the process. Isolated and alone, Che comes to realize his parental pride is meaningless to him, and to maintain his idea of masculinity, he's sacrificed the one thing that he cherishes the most… the love of his son.
To survive his neighborhood, Che has always used his fists. To survive as a complete man, he'll have to embrace a side of himself he's never shown. The story shows that we all must become a complete human being to succeed in life.
During the premier screening of the Movie, I was privileged in interviewing Peter and Benjamin Bratt and saw firsthand, these two Latino Brothers from Northern Califas, blessed with success in front and behind the camera, are extremely proud of their heritage and culture we all share as Latino's. But it is made clear, you don't need to be Latino to appreciate this story, the foundation, which is love for your family, is prolific in any culture.
LRM: Thank you both for this opportunity to discuss the Movie "La Mission". In seeing the film, it was great seeing the Lowrider lifestyle on the big screen and seeing our favorite actors playing the good guys, instead of how sometimes Hollywood portrays Lowriders in a negative way. It was enlightening.
As a Lowrider, I am interested in seeing the movie succeed in giving a glimpse of the Lowrider lifestyle to the rest of the Country. But I understand this is from personal experiences, as Brothers growing up the San Francisco Mission District, did you experience or witness the Lowrider lifestyle first hand, or how did this come to be?
Peter Bratt: When we were young teens, you could see the Lowrider Trains (caravans) as far as the eye could see on Mission Street. There were events on the weekends, they were incredible times and celebrations, young people just having fun. We remember those years. We never got into the rides, because all the Lowriders and Homies were cruising their ladies. We'd be standing on the corner wishing we could be in the rides. That was actually part of the excitement though, with people who filled the street just watching the parade of Lowriders going up and down, listening to the music. Back then of course the City put in some ordinances on the street which basically outlawed Lowriding and the Lowrider trains. One of the guys we went to school with… Che, he started one of the first Lowrider Car Clubs in the Mission District during that era and was a guy we looked up to. He is what you referred to as an authentic OG Lowrider Cat. He lives the whole aesthetic. It's a lifestyle; you know right down to the Stacy Adam Shoes, the 1940's pleated trousers, and Pendleton.
LRM: Benjamin's Character Che, is what Lowriders consider the Veterano who grew up in the neighborhood or Barrio. I believe you picked up the true essence of this character very well. I know you elaborated in a few interviews, on who this tough guy really was, but what I really appreciate is the way you caught it. It was the real deal, it was the whole package…he was a tough guy, but at the same time he matured as a human being at the end of the movie. It was a good feeling to see this on the big screen instead of the negative stereotype.
Benjamin Bratt: I am so glad you got that complexity. As you already mentioned, what we know of in terms of Hollywood fare, when it has any kind of story that's Latino centric, it is typically done stereo typical or in one dimensional form. It doesn't really capture the sophistication and complexity of what really exists within our communities. Of course we understand our communities are different from place to place, and yet, always at the center of them is what unifies us all is the heart that exists. The passion for life, the pride and the culture. So that was an important part of and aspect for Peter and I to capture that essence by creating a character like Che, my brother created someone recognizable in that he is brown to the bone, he is puro macho, and on some level, rigid and immoveable, but at the same time, he's got heart. He's got most obviously, love for his community, his culture, and of course for his boy. As that regards to the Lowrider culture, he's a veteran to the core, it was important to us as we learned, in researching for the film, that Lowrider culture in general gets a bad rap in being gang affiliated. We discovered by not only talking to the real life Che, but other Lowrider Car Clubs in the Bay area that this very much has evolved into a family affair. First of all, the Lowrider phenomenon emerged out of the Mexican-American experience in the 1940's. It was almost a political counterpoint of what wealthy white boys were doing with jacking up their cars and going fast. Dropping it low and going slow was the opposite counterpoint to that. Now Lowriding is seen as an original American art form and you now have a Lowrider on permanent display at the Smithsonian Museum. So we wanted to capture that aspect of the beauty, the cultural pride, and the fellow ship that really evolved out of the Lowrider culture now a days.
LRM: I believe you got it and I am glad to see the awareness of this motorsport stem from tradition, culture, and art. It is now more evident as Lowrider Art Shows are being produced at the Mesa and Phoenix Art Museums. America is finally recognizing this as true art. The public has seen firsthand Lowrider art going from the back streets to the Main Streets. Now that you have introduced the Lowrider culture in a different or positive light, do you feel we will better be accepted throughout America?
Peter Bratt: I think that perception is changing. Again, we grew up with a lot of guys who were Lowriders, who eventfully became veteranos, but I didn't take my first Lowrider ride till I was in my early Thirties. Like the real life Che, I've known him since we were kids. Even though he's had his difficulties and struggles, what I've always admired about him most was his dignity that he gives to the Lowrider culture.
LRM: As a Lowrider myself, I saw the small details that you inserted in the movie like the ceremonial ironing of the cruising apparel, the Brim and shoes. In the garage, the posters, old magazines, even hopping sticks and of course the car club plaque being flown on the ride ready for the Boulevard. Were these small details from your memories?
Benjamin and Peter Bratt: We hung around these cats and Che was also used as a consultant for the project. But this is not unique to the Mission District in that sometimes with the newer Lowriders who listen to the rap, and the hip hop culture has influenced their lives, they sometimes lose touch of the roots of the OG Lowrider culture. Take Che, he can also break down Mayan History, as well as the Aztec culture. He knows a lot about that kind of thing and see's the Lowrider culture as part of that experience. He's very proud of that indigenize side of it and also old enough that growing up in the sixties, Latinos and Brown people really had to take a stand on who they really were. And so there is a lot of that political activism with Veteranos that you don't see of today with the youth culture.
LRM: You brought that into play just a little bit in a scene with the Chicanito playing his rap music, and Che put him straight in what real music was to Che and his Character.
Peter Bratt: This is one reason we came to Phoenix for the movie premier, because of the whole debate going on with the new SB 1070 Law, they can pull you over and card you for being Brown. In recognizing that indigenous connection many Mexicanos have. I believe it is time that Latino's flex their political muscle and get out and vote.
In closing, the interview with the Bratt Brothers made it clear to me these two individuals are not only proud of their heritage and roots, they are cut from the same cloth many of us are from. While in Phoenix during the movie premiere, Benjamin and Peter had a special guest with them. Dolores Huerta, Co-Founder of the Cesar Chavez Farm Workers Organization. They are working with The Cesar Chavez Foundation to help educate people and get them to get politically active and vote. Becoming active now will help ensure a positive future for our children with the decisions made today.

At Influence Church Breathe Prophetic Conference Tammy Hotsenpiller shares on how we enter into Communion with the Father. How do you know it's the voice of God?
A recipe for DESTINY. Let's look at the recipe for destiny:
Dreams - What you want to do
Events - Opportunities that come your way
Spiritual Gifts - God-given traits that are supernatural
Thoughts - A positive mindset and belief in the outcome
Interest - Things you are attracted to
Niche - Abilities that you uniquely possess
Yield - Trusting that God is in control of your future
A Woman of Influence discovers that her talents, abilities, desires, and opportunities are all woven together in the predestined plan of God: His destiny for her. The definition of destiny is the inevitable or necessary fate to which a particular person or thing is destined; one's lot.
Tammy creates an assessment that will help you begin to understand and embrace who you truly are, as well as how to understand the traits, behaviors, and reactions of family members, friends, and colleagues. Women will never understand who we are until we understand who we are in Christ. It is not what I do but what I become.
A Woman of Influence understands her physical identity, which is a product of her experiences and personalities, and her spiritual identity, which comes from her relationship with Christ. The definition of identity is the distinguishing character or personality of an individual.
What are the keys to finding your worth? 1. Believe the God of the Universe Loves You. 2. Believe You Have Something to Offer. 3. Stop Looking Elsewhere. 4. Stay Focused on the Truth. As a life coach Tammy has created a Life Map which walks you through your life story. It is a map which helps you to meet and love yourself. It provides a visual model of your life experience.
A Woman of Influence recognizes her worth and value. She has been bought with the price of God. The definition of worth is a quality that renders something desirable, useful, or valuable; quality that commands esteem or respect. YOU ARE LOVED! Remember a Woman of Influence recognizes that her value doesn't come from any single person; her worth is foremost in God's eyes, and His opinion is the only one that truly counts.
Tammy teaches on her coaching concept called "The Present is Perfect." There are 3 mind zones. The Past, the Present, and The Future. This applies to our life journeys because being stuck in the memories of the past or fixating on details for the future prevent us from being still and knowing He is God.
A Woman of Influence learns to embrace each day to the fullest, living in the present rather than dwelling in the past or worrying about the future. The definition of enjoy is to receive pleasure or satisfaction from; to have the use or benefit of. Tammy will be talking about the story of Ruth and Naomi. They faced difficult decisions to survive. God truly provided. When you embrace the journey, God directs your steps. God has a field for you to glean in.
Remember the story in the bible of two sisters, Mary and Martha, who questioned God's timing in their lives? Once you have exhausted all your reasoning, you simply step into the realm of faith with the Father, letting go of all your assumptions and trusting God's perfect plan for your life. It is not enough to see a miracle you have to experience a miracle. Tammy coaches you through the steps of faith. 1. Know your needs, 2. Believe in an answer, 3. Let go of why 4. See the other side, 5. Step into the Divine. Jesus meets us when we are ready, and He knows just when that is.
A Woman of influence must exercise her faith and trust in God's plan and timing to see her dreams and ideas become reality. The definition of faith is believe that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence; the theological virtue defined as secure belief in God and a trusting acceptance of God's will. Hebrews 11:1 says that now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Tammy has a story where she really had to exercise her faith. Don't miss this faith story.
