I'm glad to see our governor is interested in protecting and promoting wildlife habitat. Here's an interesting concept: there are 640 acres in a section. If each quarter (160 acres) put the interior most acreage (one acre or more) into permanent cover, there would be at least four acres, a half-mile from roads dedicated to habitat in each section.
Even if hunting were allowed, it would provide nesting habitat that would be available in the 36 sections per township, not including those seasonal areas caused by weather conditions.
This is far less than 1 percent of the tillable acres and in a block that could support wildlife and cut down on predation.

For over two years now, I have been dealing with the same back pain, side pain, all around right side of the body pain. Some days are better than others, it is always there, my right side never feels one hundred percent. I don't know what it is going to be like when I wake up, the pain can vary in degrees from moment to moment.
I am not myself anymore. I stray away from having people over or hanging out because I don't know if I will feel alright, and the idea of having to have my house ready for people to come over is exhausting. I don't think I am the best mom I can be to my kids. I am irritable all the time due to (1) the pain (2) not knowing what it is and wondering what it is. I don't think I am the best wife. Some days my mind gets the best of me, and I am convinced that I am slowly dying. I am the first to say yes to a glass or two of wine because it takes the edge off if even just for a moment. I just don't like the person I have become.
I have made a conscious effort to avoid doctors at all costs because of the cost and it's not how I want to spend my days when my kids are at school. I persued many invasive procedures a year ago, and they didn't find anything, so I have decided that I must be insane. I don't talk about the pain often since I don't go to doctors I don't really think I have the right to complain, so I am sure people forget, but I feel like it is five hundred times harder for me to do everything. I am constantly tired, but when people ask me how I am feeling, I just say fine. I mean, do you really want to be friends with someone who complains all the time? I would do just about anything to make the pain go away. I am so very tired.
1. I could have on a potato sack, but as long as it looks like a dress, Tyler will tell me I look beautiful. Maybe I should invest in some mumus! HA!
2. I cannot believe Jackson will be in first grade next year. That is so old! I feel old.
3. I am a sucker for infomercials. I bought the Kettle Worx, workout program because it is sold as 20 minutes 3 times a week! #1 HARDEST TWENTY MINUTES EVER #2 IN PAIN FOR A WEEK after doing it once #3 doesn't motivate me to want to do it at all. I also purchase Turbo Jam two years ago, I would recommend that over Kettle Worx, seriously it is so hard.
4. What would you eat as your last meal? I can't choose! Seriously, I cannot imagine choosing.
5. I am terrible at returning emails, but I get frustrated when people don't return mine. HYPOCRITE MUCH?
6. DYING FOR A DIET COKE!
7. Kind of think all the hype behind the Royal Wedding is ridiculous, but at the same time it might be jealousy because I will never be royalty.
8. I would like to go on The Biggest Loser. I feel like I have zero motivation to get up and do anything, but with Bob or Jillian screaming in my face, it would be just the motivation I need.
9. Someone come hang some clothes up for me, PLEASE?
10. Did someone say Diet Coke????????????
BONUS-Joe's Diner on 16th Street between Camelback and Indian School is AMAZING. Cutest little place, food is DELICIOUS and INCREDIBLY CHEAP! Hurry there today!
I am JEALOUS of these people I am related to. Jealous because they have the ability to fall asleep with a live band playing right outside our window.
OK, so right outside is a little dramatic, but let me explain.
Last night we had a family slumber party in our family room. We pulled out all the mattresses and set up camp. As Jaclyn pointed out on Saturday, it's as close to camping as I get.
It was fun, I think we started a little too early in the afternoon, and we were all a little aggravated with one another by about five. We all "went to sleep" around eight, it was a little warm with all four of us in one room, so we opened the back door, and a wonderful breeze was coming through the room. It was FANTASTIC, until the live band started playing at the Country Club, maybe 100 yds away. I am not kidding that we were singing along with the music, and all of a sudden the other three people in the room, OUT LIKE LIGHTS, snoring and all. I am like, "What the heck, there's a BAND playing people?" I stayed in bed for about an hour listening to it, until I heard the band leader say that they were going to take a little break and be right back. I was not sticking around to listen to them cover Journey as they announced they would be doing. I went in our bedroom and sat down on the futon, watched some tv, and eventually ended up falling asleep there. FAR FROM THE LIVE BAND. We woke up this morning and had doughnuts, and the kids had a blast, but Pat told me I need to contact the Country Club next time I suggest a family sleepover.
I am INCREDIBLY, INCREDIBLY jealous of people who can sleep through noise. As anyone who has been "lucky" enough to live with me knows, I need complete silence to fall asleep, the tiniest noise wakes me up, I rarely sleep through the whole night, and I cannot go to sleep until everyone who is supposed to be at home in bed is at home in bed.
1. I love going to watch Tyler play tball. Seriously, it puts a smile on my face every time, and I think about all the cute and funny things the kids do the entire day.
2. Our street is being repaved this week, apparently they do it every four years. Some streets don't get repaved every fourteen years, but this neighborhood is full of elderly, retired people that have nothing better to do, so we must remove our cars from our house by 7 Thursday morning, and they can't come back until 7 Saturday morning. If you see above, the elderly, retired people probably don't have to leave their homes, so it is not a big deal. I will have to lug my sh** and my kids to and from the house to the Country Club parking lot every time I want to go somewhere. UGH! Frustrated to the max.
3. Ate at Beckett's Table. AMAZING. I love short ribs. His were AMAZING. I can't wait to go back. They also have Bacon Cheddar Biscuits-need I say more. The dessert we had was Chocolate Covered Bacon, Graham Crackers, PEANUT BUTTER MOUSSE, homemade marshmallows, drizzled with caramel-YUM!
4. Also ate at Bobby Q's. I have wanted to go for awhile, but honestly, the location is a little sketchy for me, but we braved it Saturday, and it was delicious. They start you out with these corn bread cakes, and when you are leaving, they give you donuts. Everything in between was wonderful as well: pulled pork, mac and cheese, burger, fries, YUM!
5. After reading the previous two, I should really just be happy that I don't weigh 300 lbs instead of always being so down on myself for my current weight! HA!
6. Tyler had to make a favorite things bag for school, in it she included: a pink ponytail holder because pink is her favorite color, a picture of fruit because that's her favorite food, a picture of Ellie the elephant because she doesn't go anywhere without her, a Hannah Montana necklace, and a picture of James. Jackson says, "Why didn't she put a picture of me in there? I should be one of her favorite things!" My response, "Daddy and I didn't make the cut either dude!"
7. I have been obsessed with House Hunters lately, and seriously I SCREAM at the television when they pick the wrong house. OMG, it frustrates me to the end of the world and back. I would not sacrifice living on a quiet street for a view, and you won't either when you have those kids you want in about two years! OMG!
8. I have only had one amazing massage in my life. It was at a chiropractic office, where I went for a consultation and what not, but I never went back for the recommended treatment, so I am afraid to call and make an appointment just for another massage, but it hurt oh so good. She was amazing.
9. We are going to Tucson in a month, and my mouth is already salivating when I think of Eegee's.
10. Pat LOVES LOVES LOVES his new job, and he is much happier, which in turn makes us all happier.
Jodi Picoult Does It Again!
Sing You Home, is another FABULOUS novel that addresses the issues at hand today. I don't like knowing anything about a book before I read it, I don't even read the book jacket before reading a book, so I am not going to discuss the book's plot. What I will say is that Picoult is the most forward thinking author of our time. There are references and mentions in the book of things that are happening NOW! I like that if my kids ever decide to read her books in the future they will know what was going on at this very moment.
This book made me incredibly sad! Most of her books make me cry uncontrollably, this one made me ashamed of the human race. One day...one day, people will realize that their prejudice ways and judgmental behavior are not what the Bible is referring to. I don't know when, and I don't know how, but one day. I am certain that if I was alive during slavery or segregation, I wouldn't have been ok with that either. It probably would have been my "cause". I just wish that everyone could get along. Honestly, Pat's job depends on the fact that people won't, and our livelihood depends on the fact that people don't, BUT I would give it all up to live and let live!
Since the term "goddess" is all the rage these days thanks to a certain Two and a Half Men star. I thought it was only appropriate to describe my daughter as a tball goddess. I don't think I have ever been prouder than Friday night when she took to tball like a miniature Olympian. She paid such close attention to the ball and where it was at all times. I am certain no one ever told her anything about ready position, and she was constantly at the ready. And, her mom has obviously watched A League of Their Own a few too many times because when she wanted to wear a skirt and knee socks, I didn't even blink an eye. She was confident and it showed. Here are a few pictures from her debut performance!

Homer & Langley: A Novel
By E.L. Doctorow
Annals of Japery
An Open Letter to the Teenager Who Ruined My Copy of 'Ragtime'
Jacob Lambert - 8.22.2016 | 9
A couple of weeks ago, finding myself between books, I went to my shelves in search of something to read. After a time, I came to a copy of E.L. Doctorow's Ragtime that I've had for years, but never got around to reading. Doctorow's Billy Bathgate is one my favorite novels, and I recently enjoyed his Homer & Langley. That settled it: Ragtime it would be.
However, when I opened it that night, I let out a disappointed groan. Highlighter marks were everywhere; on the first page of text alone, seven words (among them "stouter" and — snort — "steamers") were underlined in neon blue, and the sentence "There was a lot of sexual fainting" had been, for some reason, parenthesized. I flipped ahead, and the blue marker was even thicker on subsequent pages. Though I've occasionally read secondhand books that previous owners had scribbled through, Ragtime was far too damaged to read. There was practically more highlighter than printer's ink.
The handwriting had a bouncy innocence to it, leading me to believe that it had come from a high school student, maybe a freshman or sophomore. It also seemed to have come from a female, though the vandal's gender is immaterial.
Do I have this right? I'm asking you directly, teenager who ruined my copy of Ragtime. Have I identified you correctly?
By now, you're probably in your 30s; I've had the book for at least a decade, and it was old when I got it. Since so much time has passed, then, I hope you won't be upset with me for pointing out a few absurdities in your novel-wrecking note-taking style. You destroyed Doctorow's masterpiece; the least you can do is understand my frustration.
First: when you highlighted a word, did you look it up soon afterward? Or did you wait until much later, seeking the definitions of 50 or 60 words at a time? I'm genuinely baffled by your approach. For example, the word "vaudeville" is underlined three times in the first six pages, and "vaudevillian" is marked not long after that. Did you ever look up "vaudeville," or did you just keep underlining it in manic exasperation? You underlined "affidavit" three times in the same paragraph. Wouldn't one mark have sufficed? Or did you just think that the blue looked neat? And could you really not figure out what a "sexologist" was? Was it that difficult to parse? Wouldn't a "cheeseologist" be someone who studies cheese?
Chapter three ends with the sentence "And up through the slum alleys, through the gray clothes hanging listlessly on lines strung across air shafts, rose the smell of fried fish." A highly evocative passage, seemingly straightforward enough. Yet you drew a bracket around "fried fish" with an arrow pointing to a plaintive question: "Why?" Why? Why would the smell of fried fish rise through the slum alleys? Sadly, I never had the chance to meet Doctorow — he died in 2015 — so I've never been able to ask him what he meant by this riddle. But I'd guess — and mind you, it's only a guess — that it had something to do with the fact that SOMEONE WAS FRYING FISH.
A similar conundrum confronts us on page 17, where you wrote "what year is this???" I assume you're asking in what year Ragtime takes place — not that, addled by the book, you forgot what year you were actually living in. Operating on that assumption, we can see that, on the first few pages alone, Doctorow secreted a number of clues as to when his story occurs. First, there are references to Harry Houdini, Jacob Riis, and to the shooting, years before, of "the steel millionaire Henry Frick" — so anyone with a decent grasp of American history might begin to infer an answer. Ragtime also depicts European immigration to Ellis Island and Teddy Roosevelt's presidency. Still, one can't be sure. Yet there is a tantalizing nugget that, if looked at in the proper way, could answer your thrice-punctuated question. It's buried deep within the very first line of Ragtime's very first chapter: In 1902…
Again, though, one can't be sure. "In 1902." What does that even mean?
At the bottom of page 25, you scrawled "what kind of jail is this?" I assume you're referring to the prison that Doctorow described Houdini escaping from, but there's an existential poignancy to your question that I can't fully shake. Is Ragtime itself — assigned by some tweedy English teacher; full of arcane terminology and long-dead characters — the jail you were referring to? If so, you pulled your own shrewd Houdini move, didn't you? Because just eight pages later, the highlighting ceased. The rest of the book is blessedly free of your scrawlings, as unmarked as the day it came off the press. It appears that you escaped the novel, mad with glee, never to blue its pages again.
I truly wish you the best. I hope the time you spent trapped in Ragtime didn't scar you too much, now-aging teenage highlighter. Hopefully, you're now a well-adjusted adult — and aren't the sort of almost-middle-aged crank who complains incessantly about trivial matters like, say, highlighter marks on an old paperback. That sort of person can seem like an irritating character in an old vaudeville show, don't you think?

ROCK THE MAYFAIR: A 1980s, Gisborne covers band featuring the late Graeme Swan (centre) on bass guitar, Johnny Warren (left) on lead, drummer Trevor Shaskey and (out of frame) singer Grieg Mcgrannachan, rocks the Mayfair.
A Legend In My Own Mind is the name of a song written by Gisborne guitarist Graeme Swan. The musician died on January 21 but "Swanee" the legend is remembered here by former bandmates Johnny Warren and Trevor Shaskey.
A 1986 newspaper story headlined "New band with some old names" announced the formation of Jagged Edge, a local band with a "veteran line-up" of guitarists Graeme Swan and Johnny Warren, Grieg Mcgrannachan on bass, Trevor Shaskey on drums and Treva Rice on vocals.
"The group admits to being the consummate cabaret and function group playing rock music we will all recognise, and enjoy dancing to, while still harbouring their dreams to become millionaire songwriter musicians," says the undated clipping.
The band was about to play at the Silver Lair nightspot for the first time, says Shaskey.
Swan's rock band trajectory started in 1965. As a 16 year old he was one of The Bel-Aires, and in the same year played guitar with The Paramounts. Two years later he performed with Crying Shame then in 1968 he joined The Grant Kennedy Trio. By 1984 he was playing with Grapevine then joined other veterans in 1986 to perform with Jagged Edge.
"Graeme got in contact with me because he wanted to get a band together," says Warren.
In the era of covers bands Jagged Edge played hits from bands of the 1970s and 1980s — The Cars, Bryan Adams, Dire Straits, Deep Purple, and Thin Lizzy.
"Jagged Edge pretty much had Gisborne sewn up in the '80s. We were gigging all the time," says Warren.
Jagged Edge also once played at Auckland's Esplanade Hotel. The out-of-town band took the ferry to the Devonport venue.
"That was in the days you'd get 500 people turning up," says Warren.
Shortly before he died, Swan was concerned about what would happen to his guitars. He asked Warren to give each one to certain people. One was left over so Warren said he would take care of it.
He plans to hang it on his wall in memory of Gisborne's oldest teenager.
Swan was a great singer, bass player and guitarist — and always fun to hang out with, said Shaskey in a Facebook post the day after he heard of his old mate's passing.
Hey Johnny Warren, how about giving the guitar to Graeme's son Justin so he can put it on his wall to remember his father by!?

National Courts and EU Environmental Law
J.H. Jans, R. Macrory, A-M Moreno Molina
Direct effect, consistent interpretation and state liability are instruments developed by the CJEU for national courts to remedy conflicts between national and EU law (and may also be used in some jurisdictions to resolve national law and international law). This book will look at the 'remedial capacity' of these doctrines/tools from the perspective of the national court applying them. In short: what are their strengths, weaknesses, unexplored opportunities at grassroot level, and what can we learn from comparative experience in practice within Member States.
The study reveals considerable differences in the way these doctrines are handled at national level. And it is clear that these differences go beyond the challenges facing newly joined Member States where the judiciary might be expected to still be learning its way with EU law. Even within long standing EU Members there is by no means a consistency in approach. The judiciary handling environmental cases have recently established an informal cooperative network to learn from each other. We may be some years away from a time when national courts are regularly referred to not only to decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Union, but also to cases from other EU national courts to assist them in their decision-making. But if this study, which we believe to the first of its kind in this field, helps to stimulate that process, the handling of environmental law within the EU can only be improved.
Prof. Jans is professor of Administrative Law at the University of Groningen. Prof. Macrory is professor of Environmental Law at University College London. Prof. Moreno Molina is professor of Administrative Law at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid.
From the Foreword by Lord Carnwath JSC (UK Supreme Court):
"EU and National Environmental Law is a significant work which will stimulate further cooperation and cross-fertilization of ideas. I congratulate the authors and editors, and commend it to judges, practitioners and academics alike."
The editors presented the first copy to the host of the Helsinki meeting of the Avosetta group, prof. Ari Ekroos, on 31 May 2013. From left to right: prof. Moreno-Molina, prof. Macrory, prof. Ekroos and prof. Jans.

Title: Validation of Simplified Load Equations through Loads Measurement and Modeling of a Small Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbine Tower; NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory)
As part of an ongoing effort to improve the modeling and prediction of small wind turbine dynamics, NREL tested a small horizontal axis wind turbine in the field at the National Wind Technology Center (NWTC). The test turbine was a 2.1-kW downwind machine mounted on an 18-meter multi-section fiberglass composite tower. The tower was instrumented and monitored for approximately 6 months. The collected data were analyzed to assess the turbine and tower loads and further validate the simplified loads equations from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61400-2 design standards. Field-measured loads were also compared to the output of an aeroelastic model of the turbine. Ultimate loads at the tower base were assessed using both the simplified design equations and the aeroelastic model output. The simplified design equations in IEC 61400-2 do not accurately model fatigue loads. In this project, we compared fatigue loads as measured in the field, as predicted by the aeroelastic model, and as calculated using the simplified design equations.

Validation of Simplified Load Equations Through Loads Measurement and Modeling of a Small Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbine Tower
Technical Report Dana, Scott ; Damiani, Rick R. ; Van Dam, Jeroen J.
As part of an ongoing effort to improve the modeling and prediction of small wind turbine dynamics, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) tested a small horizontal-axis wind turbine in the field at the National Wind Technology Center. The test turbine was a 2.1-kW downwind machine mounted on an 18-m multi-section fiberglass composite tower. The tower was instrumented and monitored for approximately 6 months. The collected data were analyzed to assess the turbine and tower loads and further validate the simplified loads equations from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61400-2 design standards. Field-measured loads were also compared to the outputmore » of an aeroelastic model of the turbine. In particular, we compared fatigue loads as measured in the field, predicted by the aeroelastic model, and calculated using the simplified design equations. Ultimate loads at the tower base were assessed using both the simplified design equations and the aeroelastic model output. The simplified design equations in IEC 61400-2 do not accurately model fatigue loads and a discussion about the simplified design equations is discussed.« less
Tower Design Load Verification on a 1-kW Wind Turbine: Preprint
Conference Prascher, D. ; Huskey, A.
Wind turbine testing at the National Wind Technology Center (NWTC) has been done to characterize both tower top loads and thrust loads for small wind turbines, which is part of an ongoing effort to model and predict small wind turbine behavior and the resulting stresses imposed on the supporting tower. To these ends, a 1-kW furling wind turbine mounted on a 10-meter tower was instrumented and monitored via a data acquisition system for nearly a year. This test was conducted to verify the design loads as predicted by the simple design equations provided in the draft revision of the Internationalmore » Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Small Wind Turbine Safety Standard 61400-02 CDV (hereafter called ''the draft Standard''). Data were captured for several operating conditions covered by the draft Standard. This paper addresses the collected data and what conclusions can be made from it.« less
Advanced Offshore Wind Turbine/Foundation Concept for the Great Lakes
Technical Report Afjeh, Abdollah A. ; Windpower, Nautica ; Marrone, Joseph ; ...
This project investigated a conceptual 2-bladed rotor wind turbine design and assessed its feasibility for installation in the Great Lakes. The levelized cost of energy was used for this purpose. A location in Lake Erie near the coast of Cleveland, Ohio was selected as the application site. The loading environment was defined using wind and wave data collected at a weather station in Lake Erie near Cleveland. In addition, the probability distributions of the annual significant wave height and wind speed were determined. A model of the dependence of the above two quantities was also developed and used in themore » study of wind turbine system loads. Loads from ice floes and ridges were also included.The NREL 5 MW 3-bladed rotor wind turbine concept was used as the baseline design. The proposed turbine design employs variable pitch blade control with tip-brakes and a teeter mechanism. The rotor diameter, rated power and the tower dimensions were selected to closely match those of the NREL 5 MW wind turbine.A semi-floating gravity base foundation was designed for this project primarily to adapt to regional logistical constraints to transport and install the gravity base foundation. This foundation consists of, from bottom to top, a base plate, a buoyancy chamber, a taper zone, a column (with ice cone), and a service platform. A compound upward-downward ice cone was selected to secure the foundation from moving because of ice impact.The turbine loads analysis was based on International ElectroTechnical Committee (IEC) Standard 61400-1, Class III winds. The NREL software FAST was the primary computational tool used in this study to determine all design load cases. An initial set of studies of the dynamics of wind turbines using Automatic Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical Systems (ADAMS) demonstrated that FAST and ADAMS load predictions were comparable. Because of its relative simplicity and short run times, FAST was selected for this study. For ice load calculations, a method was developed and implemented in FAST to extend its capability for ice load modeling.Both upwind and downwind 2-bladed rotor wind turbine designs were developed and studied. The new rotor blade uses a new twist angle distribution design and a new pitch control algorithm compared with the baseline model. The coning and tilt angles were selected for both the upwind and downwind configurations to maximize the annual energy production. The risk of blade-tower impact is greater for the downwind design, particularly under a power grid fault; however, this risk was effectively reduced by adjusting the tilt angle for the downwind configuration.« less
Investigation of the IEC Safety Standard for Small Wind Turbine Design Through Modeling and Testing: Preprint
Conference Jonkman, J. ; van Dam, J. ; Forsyth, T. ; ...
Since 1999, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Maintenance Team 2 (MT2) has been working on a revision of the IEC 61400-2 standard on the safety, quality, integrity, and design requirements of small wind turbines (SWTs). During this effort, a study was conducted to evaluate the quality of the structural design criteria specified by the original 2 standard. Test measurements and aeroelastic predictions of loads were gathered for a collection of SWTs and evaluated against the simplified load models and load cases specified in the standard. The collection of turbines included variations in rotor size, blade number, rotor location (upwind/downwind), hubmore » type (rigid/teetered), yaw mechanism (free/active), and others. In general, the comparison of load measurements and model predictions exemplified the inaccuracy of the design load levels in the original -2 standard and suggested methods of improvement. Revisions being made to the standard include enhanced load models, new load cases, and improved safety factors. This work should culminate in a revised IEC 61400-2 standard that has a higher degree of applicability and dependability than the original.« less
Coastal Ohio Wind Project
Technical Report Gorsevski, Peter ; Afjeh, Abdollah ; Jamali, Mohsin ; ...
The Coastal Ohio Wind Project intends to address problems that impede deployment of wind turbines in the coastal and offshore regions of Northern Ohio. The project evaluates different wind turbine designs and the potential impact of offshore turbines on migratory and resident birds by developing multidisciplinary research, which involves wildlife biology, electrical and mechanical engineering, and geospatial science. Firstly, the project conducts cost and performance studies of two- and three-blade wind turbines using a turbine design suited for the Great Lakes. The numerical studies comprised an analysis and evaluation of the annual energy production of two- and three-blade wind turbinesmore » to determine the levelized cost of energy. This task also involved wind tunnel studies of model wind turbines to quantify the wake flow field of upwind and downwind wind turbine-tower arrangements. The experimental work included a study of a scaled model of an offshore wind turbine platform in a water tunnel. The levelized cost of energy work consisted of the development and application of a cost model to predict the cost of energy produced by a wind turbine system placed offshore. The analysis found that a floating two-blade wind turbine presents the most cost effective alternative for the Great Lakes. The load effects studies showed that the two-blade wind turbine model experiences less torque under all IEC Standard design load cases considered. Other load effects did not show this trend and depending on the design load cases, the two-bladed wind turbine showed higher or lower load effects. The experimental studies of the wake were conducted using smoke flow visualization and hot wire anemometry. Flow visualization studies showed that in the downwind turbine configuration the wake flow was insensitive to the presence of the blade and was very similar to that of the tower alone. On the other hand, in the upwind turbine configuration, increasing the rotor blade angle of attack reduced the wake size and enhanced the vortices in the flow downstream of the turbine-tower compared with the tower alone case. Mean and rms velocity distributions from hot wire anemometer data confirmed that in a downwind configuration, the wake of the tower dominates the flow, thus the flow fields of a tower alone and tower-turbine combinations are nearly the same. For the upwind configuration, the mean velocity shows a narrowing of the wake compared with the tower alone case. The downwind configuration wake persisted longer than that of an upwind configuration; however, it was not possible to quantify this difference because of the size limitation of the wind tunnel downstream of the test section. The water tunnel studies demonstrated that the scale model studies could be used to adequately produce accurate motions to model the motions of a wind turbine platform subject to large waves. It was found that the important factors that affect the platform is whether the platform is submerged or surface piercing. In the former, the loads on the platform will be relatively reduced whereas in the latter case, the structure pierces the wave free surface and gains stiffness and stability. The other important element that affects the movement of the platform is depth of the sea in which the wind turbine will be installed. Furthermore, the wildlife biology component evaluated migratory patterns by different monitoring systems consisting of marine radar, thermal IR camera and acoustic recorders. The types of radar used in the project are weather surveillance radar and marine radar. The weather surveillance radar (1988 Doppler), also known as Next Generation Radar (NEXRAD), provides a network of weather stations in the US. Data generated from this network were used to understand general migratory patterns, migratory stopover habitats, and other patterns caused by the effects of weather conditions. At a local scale our marine radar was used to complement the datasets from NEXRAD and to collect additional monitoring parameters such as passage rates, flight paths, flight directions, and flight altitudes of nocturnal migrating species. Our work focused on the design and development of custom built marine radar that used t-bar and parabolic dish antennas. The marine radar used in the project was Furuno (XANK250) which was coupled with a XIR3000B digitizing card from Russell Technologies for collection of the radar data. The radar data was processed by open source radR processing software using different computational techniques and methods. Additional data from thermal IR imaging cameras were collected to detect heat emitted from objects and provide information on movements of birds and bats, data which we used for different animal flight behavior analysis. Lastly, the data from the acoustic recorders were used to provide the number of bird calls for assessing patterns and peak passage rates during migration. The development of the geospatial database included collection of different data sources that are used to support offshore wind turbine development. Many different data sets were collected and organized using initial version of web-based repository software tools that can accommodate distribution of rectified pertinent data sets such as the lake depth, lake bottom engineering parameters, extent of ice, navigation pathways, wind speed, important bird habitats, fish efforts and other layers that are relevant for supporting robust offshore wind turbine developments. Additional geospatial products developed during the project included few different prototypes for offshore wind farm suitability which can involve different stakeholders and participants for solving complex planning problems and building consensus. Some of the prototypes include spatial decision support system (SDSS) for collaborative decision making, a web-based Participatory Geographic Information System (PGIS) framework for evaluating importance of different decision alternatives using different evaluation criteria, and an Android application for collection of field data using mobile and tablet devices . In summary, the simulations of two- and three-blade wind turbines suggested that two-bladed machines could produce comparable annual energy as the three-blade wind turbines but have a lighter tower top weight, which leads to lower cost of energy. In addition, the two-blade rotor configuration potentially costs 20% less than a three blade configuration that produces the same power at the same site. The cost model analysis predicted a potential cost savings of approximately 15% for offshore two-blade wind turbines. The foundation design for a wind turbine in Lake Erie is likely to be driven by ice loads based on the currently available ice data and ice mechanics models. Hence, for Lake Eire, the cost savings will be somewhat smaller than the other lakes in the Great Lakes. Considering the size of cranes and vessels currently available in the Great Lakes, the cost optimal wind turbine size should be 3 MW, not larger. The surveillance data from different monitoring systems suggested that bird and bat passage rates per hour were comparable during heavy migrations in both spring and fall seasons while passage rates were significantly correlated to wind directions and wind speeds. The altitude of migration was higher during heavy migrations and higher over water relative to over land. Notable portions of migration on some spring nights occurred parallel the shoreline, often moving perpendicular to southern winds. The birds approaching the Western basin have a higher propensity to cross than birds approaching the Central basin of Lake Erie and as such offshore turbine development might be a better option further east towards Cleveland than in the Western basin. The high stopover density was more strongly associated with migration volume the following night rather than the preceding night. The processed mean scalar wind speeds with temporal resolutions as fine as 10-minute intervals near turbine height showed that August is the month with the weakest winds while December is the month, which typically has the strongest winds. The ice data suggests that shallow western basin of Lake Erie has higher ice cover duration many times exceeding 90 days during some winters.« less

WHY DID SO MANY PRE-PRO ERA BREWERIES USE EAGLE LOGOS?
I have always been fascinated by the sheer number of pre-prohibition breweries which incorporated an eagle into their advertising pieces. This particular sign from the Dotterweich Brewing Company uses both an eagle and a wooden beer barrel in their logo, which surprisingly was used by quite a few breweries of this era. Why an eagle? Did the eagle convey strength, vitality, or some other form of subliminal messaging to help push the brands sales? This gorgeous tin curved outdoor hanging corner sign from Olean, N.Y. is a great example of an eagle being incorporated into a brewers advertising strategy.
One reason perhaps so many brewers in the early 1900's used an eagle might simply be true because the brewers of the era were trying to emulate the largest brewery in the U.S. at the time, Anheuser-Busch? AB has used an eagle in the companies advertisements since the 1870's, and surprisingly, even their competitors in their hometown market used eagles as well to emulate AB's marketing prowess. The American Brewing Company whose famous ABC brand of beer even stole the Anheuser-Busch tag calling themselves "The King of All Beers". Many readers will know that Budweiser has called itself the King of All Beers for well over 100 years also. ABC also used an eagle in their advertising, similar to Anheuser-Busch. In addition, the brewery across the street from AB's factory at the time which was the Louis Obert Brewing Company included an eagle in their advertising logo. The similarities don't end there…as the Obert eagle just like the Anheuser Busch eagle had the eagle coming through the main letter of the brewery, that being an "O" for Obert, and an "A" for Anheuser.
The amount of breweries using an eagle in their ads was surprisingly very common. However, after prohibition the use of an eagle dipped drastically, and for the most part, the only company which was using the eagle logo after prohibition was Anheuser-Busch, a symbol they still proudly use today. I can only specutate the AB legal team put an end to any other competitors using eagles once prohibition ended, to ensure their long used trademark recognition.

Our Austin fertility specialists are experts in third party reproduction. In fact, Texas Fertility Center consistently achieves some of the highest pregnancy rates in the country using donor eggs. Our experience, advanced reproductive technologies and high-quality egg donors are responsible for making dreams of parenthood a reality for our patients.
By relying primarily on egg donors from Central Texas, our Austin fertility specialists can hand-select diverse and intelligent women in the local area to join our in-house egg donor program, saving you agency and travel expenses. We are also happy to work with known donors, such as sisters, nieces, cousins, or friends, once they pass the FDA required donor screening tests.
Your first step is to make an appointment with one of our Austin fertility specialists to discuss growing your family using egg donation.
At this appointment, you will undergo a physical examination and meet with a nurse from our in-house egg donor program who will explain the egg donation procedure and help you start the process of choosing your donor.
After selecting your donor and completing screening tests, your physician and nurse will create a treatment plan that prepares your uterus for implantation and your donor's ovaries for stimulation. After your donor undergoes ovarian stimulation and her eggs have been retrieved, the next step is fertilization of the eggs with sperm from either your partner or a donor. Our embryologists in the IVF laboratory will carefully monitor your growing embryos and advise your physician to ensure that we select the best embryo for transfer. Due to our high pregnancy rates, we encourage all of our donor egg recipients to only transfer one embryo at a time. You can freeze any remaining embryos for future use.
Your physician will obtain a pregnancy test nine days after your embryo transfer. During this time and throughout the first few weeks of pregnancy, you will take supporting hormones (estrogen and progesterone) in order to reduce the risk of miscarriage.
Our Austin fertility specialists often recommend egg donation for couples when the female partner is older than 40, responds poorly to ovarian stimulation or has significantly diminished ovarian reserve. Donor eggs and gestational surrogacy can also help gay couples become parents. In such cases, donor eggs provide the best chance for hopeful parents to experience the entire pregnancy process from conception to delivery. Donor eggs and a gestational carrier can also help gay couples become parents.
Contact us to learn more about family-building using donor eggs. Have the family of your dreams.
