Save $10 on $10 and Free Shipping At Blockbuster Online
What's better than cheap, pre-owned movies delivered to your door? Free ones. And for a very limited time, you can take your pick of hundreds of movies at Blockbuster for the cost of tax.
Blockbuster online has a large selection of new and pre-owned DVDs for you to purchase. You don't have to be a member to buy, but you do get a nice discount (5-10%) if you are. With Christmas less than 6 months away, I had been meaning to buy a few pre-owned DVDs to put in the kids' stockings, and with the latest in promo codes, I got them at a very nice price (FREE!)
Here's what you do:
- Go to Blockbuster online and click on the "Buy" tab.
- Pick your choice of DVDs for purchase, and put them in your cart.
- Use code "augappreciation" to get $10 off a $10 minimum purchase (before tax and shipping.)
- Buy only pre-owned movies, and you get free standard shipping! (Discounts will not show up until you enter your credit card info, but you have a chance to review your order before you confirm it.)
For just the cost of tax, you can snag $10 worth of movies. And while the odds are slim that you'll actually find one for exactly ten bucks, it's still a great deal. I was able to get Evan Almighty ($9.99) and High School Musical Concert ($3.99) for just $4.26. And since I was set on getting these two flicks for a couple of kids, anyway – I'm convinced YOU can do better!
This code is valid until the end of August (or until they pull it.) Let me know how you do!

University Park, Pa. — Penn State's Center for Food Innovation (CFI) now offers corporations a multi-dimensional approach to product testing by adding state-of-the-art focus group monitoring to its menu of services. The April 2009 installation of the Focus Session System (FSS) enhances the research and development and outreach services that CFI's sensory and food design laboratories have offered since 2004.
According to Peter L. Bordi Jr., Penn State associate professor of hospitality management and CFI director, the new system will allow executives and product development personnel to view focus groups about their products from the comfort of their own offices. "This way, they can get qualitative data instead of just relying on the numbers," Bordi said. "Not only can they view a focus group live from anywhere, but they can also have some control by typing in specific questions for the moderator to ask."
Craig Gruneberg, information technology director for Penn State's College of Health and Human Development, said that the FSS was a melding of different ideas. "The closed-circuit TV gear is normally used to monitor convenience stores and gas stations, so the audio and video are recorded for later access," he explained. "In our case, we view the video and listen to the audio in real time as focus sessions take place. We also incorporated the chat feature so the session host can communicate with the session moderator without interrupting the focus session."
The sensory lab, located at Penn State's University Park campus, is already unique from other food testing facilities in that it offers a full-service kitchen for on-site preparation and immediate service. From there, subjects can now move directly to a focus group and offer feedback. "Our technology forms a tremendous bridge from basic sensory work to a total package that leaves companies feeling that their finished product will be the best it can be," Bordi said.
Sheetz Inc. Research Manager Ieva Grimm said this synergy is what makes CFI especially useful. "Someone can rate something based on taste and then tell us specifically what influenced their decision," said Grimm. "The chance for our managers to see people's faces and hear the emotion behind their comments is probably the most exciting aspect of this technology."
In addition to Sheetz, other major food corporations served by CFI — including Giant, Hershey and Olive Garden — provided funding which enabled the installation of the FSS. Sheetz plans to be the first user of the new technology, and Director of Culinary Development Keith Boston said he looks forward to reaping the benefits of the investment. "The biggest advantages of the new equipment are access and flexibility," he said. "We can test products on a very fast turnaround, and the data is great."
Bordi and his staff are confident that the new technology will serve food manufacturers and restaurant chains equally well, and added that he is looking forward to seeing results. "We know that our customers will feel really good about having personal feedback from those who test their foods," said Bordi. "This is going to make a potentially good product into a great product."
The Center for Food Innovation is a unique, cooperative research venture between the food industry and academia. Its mission is "to lead industry and University initiatives that create and enhance science and technologies applications while providing the food industry with unbiased world-class information and products developed with the purpose of promoting nutritious foods."

Salads Recipes
Oyster Israeli Couscous Salad Recipe
Israeli couscous, also known as Middle Eastern couscous or pearl couscous, is a great alternative to potatoes, rice or pasta. I served the less-common starch with oysters and marinated artichokes as a starter during a recent dinner party.
I served the Israeli couscous salad with wild cherry-flavored red pepper and walnut sauce, which complements the dish wonderfully and provides a pleasant color contrast.

Tri-Color Green Bean Salad Recipe
At this time of the year I think I've reached the last crop of green beans to harvest from our garden. I simply steamed them and served them the healthy way. In addition to regular green beans, I bought fresh purple beans and wax beans to complete the dish.
I seasoned the steamed bean salad with a sauce that I concocted using green beans, sweet basil, almond powder and fruity olive oil. As a reminder of the sauce flavor, I garnished the salad with lightly toasted sliced almonds.

Fried Egpplant with Balsamic Coffee Reduction
This recipe is heavily inspired by an antipasto we had during our family trip to Italy last month. I didn't think "melanzane all'aceto balsamico", or eggplants with balsamic vinegar, would give me much of a thrill. But I was blown away by the flavor of this simple preparation with minimal ingredients. I decided that when I got back home, I'd prepare a similar starter dish.
First I pan-fried tender eggplant slices, then coated them in a balsamic reduction flavored with garlic, fresh oregano and dark, bold coffee. To provide a great contrast of color and texture, I topped the very nice and tasty eggplants with crumbled goat cheese, sweet basil and chocolate-covered coffee beans as a reminder of the flavor of the reduction.
It's the first time since the launch of PhamFatale.com that I've been away for so long. I've been swamped with work and my personal life is so chaotic these days, I didn't have a minute last week to be in front of the computer. I want to announce that I just completed my first, professionally filmed episode of a new cooking series. We worked day and night and finally wrapped the 20-ish-minute episode after taping on the last day for more than 15 consecutive hours, until dawn. It was challenging but it really gave me an insight into what really happens behind the scenes. A lot of mishaps happened on the first days (broken glass, crickets, yellow jackets and wildlife were part of the fun), but overall it was such a positive experience.
Thanks to the amazing filming crew, I had a lot of fun in a very friendly atmosphere. To show my appreciation, I concocted and packed a full meal for each member so I could be forgiven by their spouses after taking them away for such long hours. Thank you so much Polar Production Team for your professionalism, hard work, dedication and most of all for believing in me. You guys rock!

Chicken Kale Salad with Papaya
My initial plan was to make a sweet and salty, spicy and bitter Vietnamese-style salad using green papaya and the chicken leftovers from yesterday. It turns out I didn't pay attention at the market and bought a very ripe papaya, so I opted for a completely different dish with kale and pesto walnut vinaigrette.
It wasn't what I envisioned from the beginning but I ended up with the flavors I wanted for this salad: sweet and salty and spicy and bitter. I'll probably do it again. This is one result of many experiments that turned out successfully!

Strawberry Almond Summer Salad Recipe
We're back to our routine. Lulu has been focused on his work and I'm in charge of providing delicious meals for him. Last night we hosted another dinner party. To save time, I put together a healthy yet delicious strawberry and almond salad for the first course, to the delight of our guests.
Almonds are rich in protein and gave extra crunch to the salad. Strawberries provided color and natural sweetness. I wished I had found the same out-of-this-world mara des bois strawberries I had last week in Paris but thankfully the ones from our garden fit the bill wonderfully.
Throwing a dinner party doesn't have to be time-consuming. I usually try to make one elaborate dish and a quick and easy dish so I'm not too exhausted when it's time to greet our guests!
If you browse through the website, you can find many party-planning tips and recipes , especially a number of elegant appetizers.

The song is over. Billy Joel and his latest wife, Katie Lee, are splitting up.
"After nearly five years of marriage, Billy and Katie have decided to separate," a rep for the pair said in a joint statement.
"This decision is the result of much thought and consideration. Billy and Katie remain caring friends, with admiration and respect for each other," Claire Mercuri, Joel's spokeswoman said today.
Rumors have been swirling that Joel's third marriage was on the rocks.
Lee, a 27-year-old chef and author, has been romantically linked with Yigal Azrouel, a dashing 36-year-old Israeli-born fashion designer who has frequently escorted her to events, the Daily News reported.
Sources reported seeing them dirty dancing in Miami in January and have claimed that in unguarded moments Azrouel referred to Lee as "my girlfriend."
Reps for the Joels insisted that Azrouel was just a friend and that Billy, 60, was happy to skip the parties, fashion shows and fundraisers that his younger wife enjoyed.
"They grew apart. She is very career-oriented. She loves going out. She loves the city. When Billy isn't touring, he'd rather be on Long Island with his motorcycles and boats," a friend told the News.

In the old days of entrepreneurship, you were either succeeding or failing. Your business was the next
But in the past few years, thanks in part to the lean entrepreneurship movement, something's shifted in our thinking. There's more of a recognition in the media and popular imagination that businesses are constantly evolving, almost like living organisms. The startup that's limping along during its early months could evolve to become the next Facebook or
In Just Start!, a new book Schlesinger coauthored, he looks at how serial entrepreneurs who built businesses with revenues ranging from $200 million to the billions—actually behaved when starting a business. And, contrary to the popular image of entrepreneurs as swashbucklers who routinely take crazy risks, many turned out to be pretty careful and analytical. "What surprised me, quite honestly, is the fundamental difference between the myths we structure for entrepreneurs and the reality," he says.
The first thing serial entrepreneurs do when starting a business, the authors found, is to take a small, "smart step" toward something they desire to achieve. Next, they stop and reflect on what that action accomplished. Finally, they decide if they still want to move forward, given what they have deemed to be their "acceptable loss"—or, as Schlesinger put it recently— "how excited you are about an idea against what you have in time and money." With each step they take, they go through the process again until they either bail out, shift in another direction or succeed. Of course, they act quickly. Moseying through the steps doesn't work in a fast-paced, global economy.
Schlesinger's analysis rang true when I spoke recently with Brandon Cotter, 42, a self described "chronic entrepreneur" from Dallas who's scored some nice wins. He got a crash course in what it takes to run a successful business when he started a series of them after graduating from Texas Christian University. Early in his career, he sold one startup, CreateTech, which built websites for companies like Hummer, to Broadcast.com and found himself working alongside Mark Cuban for a while. He sold another one, musicforce.com, a Christian Music Site, to Gaylord Entertainment Group. However, a follow up act, Stick Networks, a wireless operating system network, went under in early 2001, after he and his founding team raised $15 million from outside investors. "After two great successes and two exits, I was in the position of having to tell 50 investors we lost their money," he recalls.
What learned is how important it is to get an idea out there and start testing it early. While he put up the sitefor musicforce.com in a month and quickly saw that it had legs, he and his team spent two years perfecting the technology for Stick Networks and seeking patent after patent. "We ultimately ran out of money and failed before we had a chance to bring it to market," he says.
He kept on innovating and got involved in other startups. At his most recent, ZenCash, he's taken the lessons he learned at Stick Networks to heart. ZenCash is an automated collection system for receivables aimed at folks like freelancers, who often find themselves twisting in the wind when a customer pays really late, or not at all. Customers can set things up so, for instance, someone will call to remind the client about a bill every 30 days and to send it to collections at specific point, such as 120 days from when it was issued. "There's a discipline that comes from inserting a mechanical nature into your invoicing and having a contract in place," he says.
Cotter launched the site for Zen Cash in February, six months after starting up, using $500,000 of his own money and funding from friend and family. "You've got to get it in front of customers so you get real world feedback," he says.
As a freelancer myself and co-editor of a site called $200K Freelancer, aimed at helping indie professionals earn a living, I wonder how easy it will be for ZenCash to make its customers whole. I had a number of normally great clients pay me late during the worst of the recession, and I wonder what would have happened to those relationships if I had asked a third party to call them about the invoices instead of keeping it between us. Maybe it would have helped me pay my own bills faster—or perhaps it would have just annoyed them at a time when they were waiting for checks to come in from their clientele. All of them paid me in the end.
But it's for Cotter to find out what the results of ZenCash will be. Like the successful serial entrepreneurs in Schlesinger's book, he's taken the small smart step of getting his idea out there. If what he's doing is working, he's positioned to step on the gas pedal. If customers don't buy his services, he's ready to pivot, like any smart serial entrepreneur these days. "Until you get it out in front of random strangers who are willing to pay for it, you really don't know," he says.

JFK's Nightmare - The First Lady in Deep Purpleby Pure Evil
Four Colour Screen Print
Edition of 100
70 x 85 cm
Your artwork is a bit bigger than a dog
To understand a bit about Pure Evil it is illuminating to know that he is a descendant of Sir Thomas More, the Lord Chancellor who wrote the controversial work Utopia and who was later beheaded by King Henry VIII. With this busy background (Sir Thomas was later canonised) it is only natural that Pure Evil should explore the darker side of the wreckage of Utopian dreams and the myth of the Apocalypse, a belief in the life-changing event that brings history with all its conflicts to an end. Pure Evils street art has seen him feature in exhibitions across the world and most recently saw him involved in the BBC television show 'The Apprentice' and 'Four Rooms' on Channel 4.
"You can buy Pure Evil art at the Zero Cool Gallery. We ship limited edition signed graffiti, street art, pop art and conceptualism prints and originals across the globe. Visit 'Buy Artwork' in the main menu to see our current stock of available art."

The selected targeting of companies/organizations is the 2nd most effective way to find a job. Again…Networking is #1
The idea is simple – find companies, not job postings.
Since job postings are consistently ranked as the least effective way to find jobs, your goal is to find the source of jobs… companies/organizations
Why does a Targeted Job Search Work?
Companies are constantly looking for new talent for their organizations; they just aren't always posting jobs on websites. One way to become aware of openings and opportunities is to locate potential employers and directly contact them with your resume.
Employers are looking for smart, motivated, ambitious people to work with them; the best way to show you are this type of person is through your job search.
Look at it this way… say you owned a company and two people applied for a job.
Candidate # 1 says: "I've research your company online and based on your mission statement, your goals, and the way you position yourself in the market I feel my background and qualifications would be a great fit. I am interested in discussing with you how I can help you achieve your organizational goals."
Candidate #2 says: "I noticed your ad on Monster.com and thought I would apply."
Who would you be interested in interviewing?
How do I find Companies/Organizations?
The idea is to find companies – all you need to apply to a company/organization is to know they exist.
So, get to finding them.
One great resource is a local area Chamber of Commerce – any city or town of any size will have a local Chamber of Commerce. This organization exists to promote that particular town as a great place to live, work, visit, and do business. A Chamber of Commerce is made up of member organizations – local businesses that pay an annual fee to be a part of the Chamber.
The website of the Chamber of Commerce will list all of their Members – voila!, a list of companies that exist in your preferred geographic location
New Haven Chamber of Commerce
Click here for a list of, and links to, many more resources for finding companies.
What do I do to apply?
Search the company/organization website for:
- job postings
- contact names
- information about the company
Contact the company/organization by:
- phone
- networking to find someone who works there
What do I say?
Be concise and powerful:
"Hello Mr. or Mrs. Doe. My name is Job Seeker and after conducting significant research on your company/organization I feel my background would be a great fit for your team. I am interested in (sales, marketing, finance, mental health, laboratory, etc) and would like to meet with you to further discuss any opportunities you may have."
The worst thing that will happen to you is the person will hang up. The best thing that will happen is they will speak with you and offer you a chance to send in your resume and/or interview. You have to make things happen in your job search, and this is a proven method.

Torrealba a steadying force behind the dish
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The first time Rockies veteran catcher Yorvit Torrealba worked with talented-but-developing left-handed pitcher Drew Pomeranz, he delivered a reassuring message.
Pomeranz was pitching against Team USA last Friday when a pitch nearly sailed to the backstop.
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The first time Rockies veteran catcher Yorvit Torrealba worked with talented-but-developing left-handed pitcher Drew Pomeranz, he delivered a reassuring message.
Pomeranz was pitching against Team USA last Friday when a pitch nearly sailed to the backstop.
"I threw a fastball up to David Wright and I said, 'Man, I almost threw it over your head,'" Pomeranz said. "He said, 'That's OK. I miss it, I go get it.' My last outing was the first time I've thrown to him. I hadn't thrown a bullpen or anything to him. He's great."
Pomeranz threw to Torrealba again on Monday, when he gave up two runs and four hits and struck out three in a 3-1 loss to the White Sox. Torrealba was there with advice as Pomeranz worked through minor delivery issues out of the stretch, and his presence was part of the reason Pomeranz's confidence ticked up a notch.
Torrealba, 34, is hoping to be a key mentor to young Rockies pitchers, the way he was during his first tour with the team (2006-09) -- a stint that included two of the three playoff appearances in club history. Many in the club and outside have theorized that the Rockies missed Torrealba's presence after he left as free agent -- and helped the Padres to contention one year and the Rangers to a World Series appearance.
Torrealba also hit his first home run of the spring, a drive to left off electric White Sox left-hander Chris Sale, and possibly saved Pomeranz some damage by picking Jordan Danks off third base in the third inning.
If Torrealba, who played for the Rangers and the Blue Jays last season, provides what the Rockies think he can, he will force the club into a decision. The team has second-year slugger Wilin Rosario as the primary catcher, and is paying veteran Ramon Hernandez $3.2 million. In addition, utility man Jordan Pacheco has impressed the Rockies with his receiving ability.
The club could look to move Hernandez in a trade, although it might involve eating some of the salary.
Torrealba is concentrating on his day-to-day work. To help Pomeranz along, he called Monday's game as if it were a regular-season contest. He realized that Pomeranz's secondary pitches need work, but it was hard to go away from a 95 mph fastball when White Sox hitters were having trouble catching up to it.
"Especially today, I knew he was going to go four, maybe five, I wanted to help him as much as I could," Torrealba said.
The Rockies are looking for aggressiveness, which fits Torrealba's defensive personality. He didn't hesitate before picking off Danks.
"This is Spring Training," Torrealba said. "The skipper gives you enough confidence. Go out there, have fun, try to do your job, throw the ball around and if you mess it up, you mess it up. At the same time, we're trying to send a message. 'Hey, this guy likes to throw behind runners. Keep those runners on a short leash.'"

I've asked a question like this before, but now I'm more interested in counting the number of covers.
We suppose given the following data.
A positive integer $d$
A finite set of closed points $B= ( b_1,\ldots,b_n )$ in $\mathbf{P}^1_\mathbf{C}$
Branch types $T_1,\ldots, T_n$.
Question. How many branched covers of $\mathbf{P}^1_\mathbf{C}$ exist which are branched only over $b_i$ (with branch type $T_i$ over each $b_i$)?
The answer lies within the Hurwitz number for $(T_1,\ldots,T_n)$. This translates the problem to combinatorial group theory.
Now, for my main question:
Q1. Can one ``count'' covers of $\textrm{Spec} \mathbf{Z}$ as above? That is, can one count the number of finite field extensions $$\mathbf{Q}\subset K$$ of given degree $d=[K:\mathbf{Q}]$ which are unramified outside a given set of prime numbers $p_1,\ldots,p_n$ with ramification types $T_1,\ldots,T_n$?
I know that one can use Minkowski's Geometry of Numbers to give some nontrivial bounds on the discriminant. Is this the best we can do?

Bethune-Cookman, Bethune-Cookman University, Kentucky Wildcats, Mr. Football, Quentin Williams, Tim Tebow, Touchdown, Wildcat, Williams
Nobody had a season like quarterback Quentin Williams did in 2010.
Nobody broke records like Williams did when he helped lead the Jefferson Dragons to the school's first state championship.
And now nobody will wear Williams number again.
The team retired Williams' No. 3 jersey during a ceremony at the Dragons end of the season banquet this past Saturday.
During his senior season, Williams set new state records for season passing touchdowns (56), passing yardage (4,451), as well as career touchdown passes (109). He also broke Tim Tebow's career passing yardage record. Williams ended up with 10,384.
The Dragons defeated Miami Norland 44-34 for the Class 3A title. The victory capped off a spectacular season for Williams, who went onto Bethune Cookman.
Last season for the Wildcats, Williams played in 10 games and threw for 1,173 yards and 11 touchdowns. He also rushed for 635 yards and three touchdowns.

Holiday Decor: 5 Different Approaches to Decorating the Mantel
Chances are you display the same holiday decorations on your mantel each year, mixed in with some evergreens and freshly purchased candles. If this sounds familiar, consider switching it up this year with these unique approaches, non of which include nutcrackers or tinsel.
1. Hang kumquat and boxwood garland for an elegant, alternative take on red and green. Citrus fruit has long been a favorite decoration for Christmas and for the Chinese New Year. The orange and green color combination is fresh, light, and feels appropriately celebratory.
2. Go for a rustic look by showcasing a row of miniature evergreen and boxwood topiary trees, classically trimmed into triangle shapes. When wrapped with burlap and intermixed with garland, this almost feels more winter than holiday, but it can work for either. The paperwhites placed in the midst of it all are a nice pop of white amongst all the dark green shades.
3. Try a layered, eclectic mantel using several different kinds of greens and branches, housed in varied vessels. This was actually my mantel from last year, and my main motivation was using what I already owned, as my budget was small. I chose cheap flowers — white carnations — and put them in silver mint julep cups. The over-sized branches came from my dogwood tree in our front yard, as did the magnolia leaves. More is more is more.
4. For an old world, old fashioned mantel, consider stacking vintage/antique books to play with scale. Then on top of the stacks of books pile on vintage mercury glass candlesticks, cranberry balls, topiary trees, and other curiosities that have a festive feel. Picking one color, in this case the red, for everything to be in also lends to this comprehensive look.

1. Who will pay for the administrative costs of implementing this
and is the city/town billing software able to address these types of
readings and billings? As part of this process, your city may need to
adopt a rate which would allow you to fully recover your fi xed costs,
since many fi xed costs are embedded in your energy charges.
2. Since metering is not inexpensive, the city/town may wish to
consider requiring the customer to pay for all cost above the
standard meter cost and installation.
3. Due to safety concerns, the city/town would need to address back
feeds that could harm electrical workers. The city/town would have
to detail some type of protection requirements for employees and
workers to ensure the line is dead when work is being performed in
normal or storm situations. This cost would need to be addressed.
In addition, the city/town may wish to have some insurance
requirement for protection if a citizen were to come into contact
with a live line that was not on the city system at the time of contact.
4. The life of a small wind unit is around 15 years, plus maintenance
cost. When you take this into consideration, there is no pay back
to the customer and it actually ends up costing them money. Solar
panels have a life expectancy of about 20 to 25 years, and their
value and wattage output decrease steadily over time.. This is
what all the customers that we are aware of have discovered when
considering the installation of wind or solar power production
facilities at their home or at businesses.
These comments are not designed to be road blocks but to point out
it's not as simple as buying one, putting it up, running it and trading
electric on a one-for-one basis. We would imagine your city/town would
also need to address the height, noise and harmonic issues in residential
neighborhoods and commercial locations.
For these reasons, there have not been any installations that we are
aware of on a member city distribution system. Most customers look at
the total dollars and are simply trying to save money on energy costs.
That is why OMPA, through a stimulus grant award, has been working
with members by doing residential energy audits. An audit points out
steps that the homeowner can take in order to reduce their energy costs.
Whether it be new windows, additional insulation, upgrading lighting,
OMPA also provides a rebate program which encourages the
installation of geothermal heat pumps, air-source heat pumps, dual-fuel
heat pumps and high-effi ciency air conditioners. The audit and
rebate programs are just two examples of ways customers can save
money on energy costs.

Issues You Should Consider Regarding
Distributed Generation
Recently, some OMPA member cities have
been contacted by customers concerning the
installation of wind or solar generation at their
homes/businesses and net metering. As a result,
OMPA staff has received inquiries requesting
guidance on how to respond to customers.
Currently, all 39 members of the OMPA power
supply program have an "all-requirements" contract
with OMPA. This means the city/town cannot
purchase power from another source, with the
exception of SWPA allocation, which is recognized
in the contract. This is a matter of key concern and
ultimately requires OMPA to inform the city/town
that they cannot contract with these types of
OMPA is not prohibiting the installation of this
type of equipment, but rather seeking a way to
address this growing interest, while at the same
time protecting the contract. The contract is the
security for nearly $600 million in bonds issued for
power plants and other power supply components.
Many vendors promise consumers possible electric
savings. However, these projected savings may be
based upon what is available from other utilities.
On the back of this brochure, you will fi nd some
concerns that your city/town should consider on
how to address these issues.
Until then, we can off er the following guidance on
how to address these inquiries.
As mentioned previously, OMPA staff is
investigating what would be required to
allow distributed generation if a member
system determines they want to allow
this on their system. As soon as we are
able to provide additional guidance, we
will be back in touch.
Net Metering:
For small (<1,000kw) generators, usually wind or solar, in which the customer wants to install and
receive Net Metering, the answer will have to be that it is not available. Net metering is when the
customer is interconnected, and in parallel with your distribution system and has the potential to
feed energy back onto the system. Net metering tariff s are currently not allowed.
Standby (Isolated) Generators:
The installation of small generators that are completely disconnected (isolated) from your
distribution system is ALLOWED under OMPA's policies. However, you will need to develop your
own set of requirements regarding these installations.
Large Interconnected Generators:
Large (>1,000kw) generators which desire to export power onto the electrical grid will be
required to submit such a request to the Southwest Power Pool. This applies to individual
generators in excess of 1,000kw, or multiple generators which in aggregate exceed 1,000kw.

Is Wall Street Speculation to Blame for High Gas Prices?
For much of the year, high gasoline prices have been a major drain on consumers' wallets. Last month, a gallon of gas averaged a high of $3.94. While global demand and supply are the primary determinants of the price of oil, the biggest component of gasoline, there is a growing view that Wall Street speculators are pushing up oil prices far beyond fundamental levels.
One study concludes that speculation last year bid up the price of gas by as much as $0.80 per gallon, costing consumers billions of dollars. Other studies find that is has little to no impact. What's really going on?
The gas price blame game
Throughout history, oil prices have primarily been driven by global demand and supply. The logic is simple: As the global economy expands, it demands more oil, which raises the price. But in recent years, an increasing number of people have been blaming speculators.
They argue that an abnormally large flow of speculative money into oil futures drove the current price of oil above its fundamental level. Some commentators go even further, claiming that nefarious speculators "manipulated" the market. While these claims undoubtedly attract public attention by villainizing Wall Street traders as profit-hungry speculators -- the truth, as always, is a bit more complicated.
Don't hate, speculate
A speculator is basically anyone buying a crude oil contract in the hopes that its price will go up. They're essentially betting on the future price movement of oil without taking physical possession of the commodity. These bets are placed through futures contracts, where buyers and sellers agree to the future delivery of crude oil at a pre-determined price and date.
The biggest speculators are primarily hedge funds, big investment banks, and pension funds, which have become increasingly important players in the market for oil futures. Historically, end-users of oil, such as airline and oil companies, made up around 70% of the market. But in recent years, speculators have dominated. They account for a whopping 70%-80% of total contracts in any given week, more than twice their traditional share.
Because this influx of speculators over recent years has also coincided with tremendous volatility in oil prices, people are linking the two events and saying one caused the other. But did it really?
A mixed bag of findings
Several academics don't think so. A recent study by the Center for Economic and Policy Research concluded that speculation did not play a significant role in driving the spot -- or current -- price of oil after 2003. In fact, most academic studies have failed to find a link between futures prices and spot prices. Instead, they argue, these prices reflect economic fundamentals.
But others disagree. Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) , one of the biggest players in the oil futures market, suggested last year that speculation drove up the price of oil some 20%. Researchers at the St. Louis Fed put their estimate at 15%. And Rex Tillerson, the CEO of ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM) , claimed that number is as high as 40%.
With such a diversity of credible opinions, it's hard to pick sides.
Weighing the options
On the one hand, speculators play a necessary role in the futures market by providing liquidity to other market participants such as hedgers. In an almost symbiotic relationship, they take the other side of the trade by accepting the price risk that hedgers seek to reduce.
Without speculators, airline companies like United (NYSE: UAL) , JetBlue (Nasdaq: JBLU) , and Southwest (NYSE: LUV) wouldn't be able to hedge fuel costs, their single highest operating expense. Fuel hedging saved Southwest some $3.5 billion in the decade since 1998.
But on the other hand, when a market becomes overrun with speculators, other investors who actually use the oil get crowded out. End-users like the airlines claim that the market has become hostage to speculators who are distorting prices and increasing volatility.
Who should we believe?
After weighing the options, I tend to agree with the Fed, Goldman Sachs, and big oil (shocking, I know) that during certain periods of time, speculation raised oil prices by some 15%-40%. Still, I think it's unfair to say that speculators "control" the price of oil, or that they deserve all the blame for high gas prices.
It's not like they sit in their offices, fingertips tented like Mr. Burns from The Simpsons, hatching a plan to screw over hard working people. Their primary goal is to make money. They move money into an asset class, hoping that its price will rise, but only after assessing the basic supply and demand fundamentals. In other words, they work with market forces, not against them. And with the dearth of other investment opportunities, oil has often proved a good bet.
Is there a solution?
Going forward, there are no easy remedies. An outright ban on speculation would prove disastrous for all parties involved, for reasons outlined earlier. And increased regulation, which President Obama recently proposed, may not work either. The proposed regulatory changes include higher margin requirements and stiffer penalties for market manipulators.
Raising margin requirements may simply drive hedgers and smaller speculators out of the market, thereby increasing the market share for larger players. This might actually lead to less liquidity and more volatility -- the exact opposite of what was intended. And raising market manipulation fines from $1 million to $10 million may ward off smaller speculators, but it's still pocket change to the big hedge funds and investment banks.
Even if you're a speculator, oil prices are impossible to predict with accuracy. Many oil companies rise and fall with oil prices. But there is one oil and gas company that stands to profit regardless of price fluctuations.

Tech Staffer Wins Prestigious Statewide Service Award
SOCORRO, N.M. October 21, 2009 – New Mexico Tech staff member Tony Ortiz was selected to receive one of the state's most prestigious civil service awards – the 2009 Governor's Distinguished Public Service Award.
Ortiz is being recognized for his efforts to expand and improve the state Science Fair and state Science Olympiad. Since taking over as state director of the program in 2002, Ortiz has significantly increased participation among high school students across the state.
|Tony Ortiz, director the New Mexico state Science Olympiad and Science Fair.
"I was shocked and surprised to hear I had won," Ortiz said. "I'm very appreciative for the recognition. This is huge. Now, I feel challenged to do even more so that I'm truly deserving."
Ortiz and the other winners will be honored during an awards presentation dinner and reception Thursday, Nov. 12, at the Marriott in Albuquerque.
New Mexico Tech president Dr. Daniel H. Lopez said Ortiz is an exemplary choice for the state's highest civil service award.
"Tony Ortiz is a tireless champion of education in New Mexico," Lopez said. "His office is directly responsible for opening the world of science, engineering and technology to thousands of youngsters in the state. At a time when the United States is lagging behind the rest of the world in these areas, it's vital that we have leaders like Tony to serve as leaders and mentors."
New Mexico Tech has played host to both the state Science Fair and state Science Olympiad events for many decades. By virtue of his tireless leadership, recruiting and promotional efforts, the two high school science programs have exploded in participation. Both programs offer more than $100,000 in scholarships to deserving high school students.
Ortiz was also instrumental in bringing the International Science and Engineering Fair to Albuquerque in 2007, an event that attracted more than 8,000 participants and visitors to New Mexico and gave the state unique visibility and recognition. Lopez said Ortiz volunteered to co-chair the committee that organized the International fair, helping to raise money and generate publicity for the event. Lopez said Ortiz' efforts on the International Science and Engineering Fair certainly played a large factor in the award.
"Tony's record shows that he goes above and beyond the call of duty," Lopez said.
Dr. Peter Gerity, Tech's vice president of academic affairs, said Ortiz puts forth extraordinary effort to champion the Science Fair and Science Olympiad. Ortiz is the liaison between New Mexico Tech and the six regions of the state and he has built relationships with high school science teachers around the state – from the small districts like Roy to the largest programs, like Albuquerque Public Schools.
"Tony is a consummate leader," Gerity said. "He consistently goes the extra mile to help others. He has demonstrated the capacity to serve his community in an exceptional manner and I am honored to have recommended him for this award. As a one-man show, he is the champion for science and engineering in New Mexico's schools, making him extremely deserving of this award."
Ortiz said he truly believes in the importance of Science Olympiad and Science Fair as effective tool to encourage the next generation of scientists to pursue their dreams.
"This award tells me we're doing the right thing, but it's truly a statewide effort," Ortiz said. "Working with high school students and teachers is both challenging and rewarding."
He foresees a coming challenge in coming years to convince school districts to fund these academic activities.
"It's sad when students are selling cupcakes just to raise money to pay registration fees to compete in science events," he said. "With school districts cutting their budgets, it's a challenge to find resources to keep these programs alive."
Ortiz served on the Socorro Consolidated School board from 2005 to 2009, coordinated the Socorro Relay for Life in 2002 and is a member of the advisory council of the Society for Science.
A native of Socorro, Ortiz earned his bachelor's from College of Santa Fe in psychology and counseling. He first started working at Tech in the accounting department in 1993. From 1996 to 2000, he served as the coordinator of residential life and summer conferences. After two years as coordinator of the Advising Resource Center, he took over the Science Fair and Science Olympiad programs.

I want to strongly recommend his channel as a very worthwhile source of information and inspiration. While there are other Okinawan stylists sharing excellent quality bunkai, Lemus shinshi (and company) are somewhat unique in that their videos are all completely free and the production quality is very high. Typically, videos teaching excellent quality bunkai will either cost you money (sometimes a LOT of money) or they will have very low production quality.
Here are three of Lemus shinshi's One Minute Bunkai™ videos on Naihanchi Shodan kata.
I self-deprecatingly offer my own YouTube video on bunkai for Naihanchi Shodan as a comparison (knowing full well that this comparison will not be very favorable).
While I believe all of these videos offer good bunkai, my video is not even in the same league as One Minute Bunkai™ in terms of clarity and production quality. So be sure to check out the One Minute Bunkai™ channel. You'll be glad you did.

About Oakley
Oakley has been innovating in the world of sports products for over 40 years. Today we all know them for their sunglasses, eyewear and ski and snowboard goggles, but that's not where they initially started. In 1975 Jim Jannard came up with the idea to create a motorcycle handlebar grip that was ergonomic and grippy, even when sweaty or wet. Following its success, Jim felt that the logical approach was to improve another important product - the motocross goggle - and the Oakley O-Frame MX goggle was born. The riders and pro's loved it because it offered a wide and deep peripheral view with exceptionally sharp vision, using flexible materials that also looked great.
Following the success of the O-Frame, Oakley quickly launched a range of sunglasses designed specifically for sports - expanding their range of to cover skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking and BMX. Before long Oakley and the famous O was everywhere, but Jim Jannard didn't stop there. Working closely with a team of athletes, he continued to push the boundary of what was possible - using innovative technology to produce cutting-edge designs that enhance performance and enjoyment.
Oakley's innovations are a key part of the success of their products. Their High-Definition Optics reduce the light refraction that can cause other lenses to make objects appear magnified or shifted from their actual position. And their Plutonite lens material filters out 100% of all harmful UV rays while providing unrivaled shatter-proof impact protection, to keep your eyes safe.
As you'd expect, Oakley have the same commitment to quality and innovation in their technical outerwear for skiing and snowboarding - focussing on performance, design and quality.
At Freeze we've stocked Oakley products since day one, and we offer the largest range of Oakley ski and snowboard goggles in the UK, with replacement lenses available for every goggle we stock. If you need help choosing the right lens, just jump over to our Oakley Goggle Lens Guide for the lowdown on what to look for.
We also stock a huge range of Oakley sunglasses from Holbrooks to Frogskins, Slivers to Turbines, including Polarized, Iridium and Prizm lens sunglass models.

Key features to consider when assessing workflow-management software and its role in digital imaging.
By Bill Hartman
Graphics printers have been very aggressive in investing in digital imaging technology; however, many have forgotten that once capacity has been increased on the back end, print providers need to be able to handle their work efficiently from design to print to cut.
Time to market is mission critical. Therefore, optimizing the process between customer files coming in and printing or cutting is essential. Reducing waste and minimizing errors are key factors in remaining competitive. The idea of automated workflows for graphics producers has gained steam over the past couple of years. We see it in two fronts: First, RIP manufacturers are identifying that, to maintain competitive, they have had to add new features. Color management quickly comes to mind.
While shops have experimented with commercial print workflows, they have never been very specific to the unique challenges of producing signs and displays. So, while many existing workflows have been customized to do an ample job, a new class of solutions suddenly appears: off-the-shelf workflows specifically for the production of signage and graphics. Built with modular features, they allow a print provider to choose the features that are most important to them.
What do workflows do that make them attractive? How can they help resolve some of the challenges and offer opportunities to a graphics producer?
Getting the design ready for print
Many customer-submitted files are not capable of going through a RIP. In most shops, there is usually only one expert—the person everyone turns to when they can't process customers' files. This person can usually look at a file and almost immediately determine where problem areas might be, and fix them. Unfortunately for the print provider, this is labor-intensive and costly. The alternative, returning the file to the customer, is time consuming and not a very good example of customer service (and value-add).
One of the traditional challenges for a graphics shop is that the files they receive are far from being traditional. While some sophisticated design shops are capable of delivering a good PDF file, or a design created by a more popular design package, such as Adobe Creative Suite, the sad truth is that many files are delivered from a diverse set of applications. Have you, for example, ever received a design from PowerPoint? You probably have.

These Forgefix double slotted roofing bolts are supplied with square nuts and have a low profile mushroom head. Their bright zinc plated finish increases resistance to corrosion. The bolts are therefore suitable for both interior and exterior use, and can be exposed to weather conditions without the risk of rusting.
APPLICATION:Used in many applications other than roofing, when joining products together.Use clearance drill sizes 1mm larger than bolt diameter.
Zinc coatings prevent oxidation of the protected metal to create a longer lasting finish. It does this by forming a barrier and by acting as a sacrificial anode if this barrier is damaged. Zinc oxide is a fine white dust that (in contrast to iron oxide) does not trigger a breakdown of the substrate's surface integrity as it is formed. The zinc oxide, if left intact, can act as a barrier to further oxidation, in a way similar to the protection afforded to aluminium and stainless steels by their oxide layers.
With slotted screwdrivers it is important to ensure that the tip matches the width of the screw slot, otherwise you run the risk of damaging the screw head. Slotted screwdrivers are available with either Flared or Parallel tips. For the majority of uses the Flared tip is ideal but if the screw/bolt needs to be driven below the material surface a Parallel tip screwdriver should be used.

Try again and miss the grammatical errors this time:
Yes congratulations James! Unfortunately I cannot get them to send 'Journey to Chandara' to New Zealand, well only for a big postage bill, anyway...
I expect I can get it here, but I would love a signed copy.
Perhaps on your next trip, you (both) would like to come down to these warm antipodean Islands, sign my books and stay with me? Think 'Lord of the Rings' landscapes...
