I like the cream background from the concolor ancestry. The flower, though, is disappointingly cuppy. It has a second bud—it might turn out better.

Hartlepool power station is a nuclear power station situated on the northern bank of the mouth of the River Tees, 2.5 mi (4.0 km) south of Hartlepool in County Durham, North East England. The station has a net electrical output of 1,190 megawatts, which is 2% of Great Britain's peak electricity demand of 60 GW.[1] Electricity is produced through the use of two advanced gas-cooled reactors (AGR). Hartlepool was only the third nuclear power station in the United Kingdom to use AGR technology. Hartlepool power station was also the first power station to be built as close to a major urban area.
Originally planned in 1967, with construction starting in 1969, the station started generating electricity in 1983, and was completed in 1985, initially being operated by the Central Electricity Generating Board. With privatisation of the UK's electric supply industry in 1990, the station has been owned by Nuclear Electric and British Energy, but is now owned and operated by EDF Energy. On 18 October 2010 the British government announced that Hartlepool was one of the eight sites it considered suitable for future nuclear power stations.
History
With the economic success of another advanced gas-cooled reactor (AGR) nuclear power station at Dungeness, the Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB) proposed their third AGR station in 1967 to be situated on the edge of the Durham coalfield, near the seaside resort of Seaton Carew. The proposal came at a time when the CEGB's move toward alternative fuels to coal, threatened the coal industry's existence. Despite this, and a short ministerial delay, the plans for the Seaton Carew station (which became known as Hartlepool nuclear power station) went ahead. Because the construction of the station was given the go ahead, the National Coal Board were not able to get the CEGB behind the plans for a prototype fluidised bed combustion (FBC) coal station at Grimethorpe in Yorkshire. Because of this, the UK missed out on pioneering FBC technology, before it became internationally recognised as the best way of burning coal.
Sited 1.65 mi (2.66 km) from Seaton Carew, and in the middle of the industrial complex of Teesside, the station was to be built closer to any major urban area than any nuclear power station site had been. To make this acceptable, the station's reactors were to be housed in prestressed concrete pressure vessels.
The station under construction in June 1972
The construction of the power station which was undertaken by Nuclear Design & Construction ('NDC'), a consortium backed by English Electric, Babcock International Group and Taylor Woodrow Construction,[4] began in 1969. The construction was delayed in 1970, when the Nuclear Installations Inspectorate declared that they were unhappy with part of the station's boiler design, setting the CEGB back £25 million.[3] The station's reactors were supplied by the National Nuclear Corporation, and the station's generating sets by the General Electric Company.[5] Some fourteen years into construction, the first of the station's two units were commissioned in 1983, the other in 1985.[3] The station first generated electricity commercially on 1 August 1983.
Specification
The station is of the advanced gas-cooled reactor (AGR) type. It provides electricity for over 3% of the UK using two 1575 MWth advanced gas reactors to heat two 660 MWe generators, giving a maximum generating capacity of 1,320 MW.[1] The station's net electrical output is 1,190 MW. This is enough electricity to power 1.5 million homes

Take a look at this great Cinco De Mayo inspired tablescape I created for a charity event hosted by the Allaire Woman’s Club. The brightly hued, striped tablecloth sets the tone for a good time while the diversified tableware showed of Mexico’s playful heritage. The bright sunflowers add a burst of color to the table while the various potted cactus plants with a simple “gracious” printed tag made great favors. This particular table design was created for a tea, but add a couple of margarita’s and an outdoor patio, and your guests will be ready for a true Mexican fiesta. Tablescape designed by Event Planner, Kelly Heyn of SociaLife. To find out more about this event and the products used, visit http://www.socialifenj.com/cinco-de-mayo/ .

Bassano del Grappa is a city and comune in the province of Vicenza, region Veneto, in northern Italy. It bounds the communes of Cassola, Marostica, Solagna, Pove del Grappa, Romano d'Ezzelino, Campolongo sul Brenta, Conco, Rosà, Cartigliano and Nove.The artist Jacopo Bassano was born, worked, and died in Bassano and took it as his surname. Bassano Del Grappa is also famous for the spirit Grappa.The city was founded in the 2nd century BCE by a Roman called Bassianus, whence the name, as an agricultural estate.The first news of the existence of the medieval city dates from 998, while the Castle is mentioned first in 1150. In 1175 Bassano was conquered by Vicenza, but the city maintained a semi-autonomous status as a free commune in the 13th century also, when it was under the family of the Ezzelinos.In 1368 it was acquired by the Visconti of Milan and, in 1404, by the Republic of Venice: the latter did not alter the citadine magistratures, limiting to impose a Captain chosen by the Venetian Senate. The city became home to a flourishing industry producing wool, silk, iron and copper, and mainly for ceramics; in the 18th became especially famous in all Europe for the presence of the Remondini printers.During the French Revolutionary Wars the city was the seat of the Battle of Bassano. In 1815 it was included in the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia, and became part of the unified Kingdom of Italy in 1866. Napoleon Bonaparte remained in Bassano del Grappa for many months.The original name of the town was Bassano Veneto. After the terrible battles on Mount Grappa in WWI , where thousands of soldiers lost their lives, a decision was made to change the name of the town. In 1928, the name was changed to Bassano del Grappa, meaning Bassano of Mount Grappa, as a memorial to the soldiers killed. Ernest Hemingway during his days as an ambulance driver in the war spent many days in Bassano and eventually settled there as part of A Farewell to Arms. Also other American writers spent some days in Bassano during WWI such as Scott Fitzgerald and Dos Passos.During World War I Bassano was in the front area, and all industrial activities were halted. In World War II, after the Armistice with Italy, the city was invaded by German troops, which killed or deported numerous inhabitants.The symbol of the town is the covered wooden pontoon bridge , which was designed by the architect Andrea Palladio in 1569. The bridge was destroyed many times, the last time during WWII. The Alpine soldiers, or Alpini have always revered the wooden bridge and Bassano del Grappa. After the destruction of the bridge, they took up a private collection and had the bridge completely rebuilt. Often soldiers flock to the bridge to remember and sing songs from their days as alpine soldiers. The grappa shop of Nardini Distillery is located on the bridge, known as Ponte degli Alpini.
Bassano del Grappa è un comune italiano di 42.947 abitanti della provincia di Vicenza, l'ottavo centro del Veneto per numero di abitanti.Bassano del Grappa è situata nel nord-est della penisola italiana, nel cuore della regione Veneto, al confine tra le provincie di Vicenza, Padova e Treviso. La città si trova ai piedi delle Prealpi Venete (Altopiano di Asiago e Monte Grappa), nel punto in cui il Brenta sbocca dal Canale di Brenta (Valsugana).Il ponte di Bassano sul Brenta, detto Ponte Vecchio, è noto anche come ponte degli Alpini ed è il soggetto e il titolo di un canto popolare degli Alpini.La storia del ponte inizia ben prima, nel 1209 si ebbe la sua prima costruzione databile. Questa struttura fu definitivamente travolta dalle piene del fiume nell'ottobre del 1567. Andrea Palladio nel 1569 progettò un nuovo ponte, proponendo inizialmente un progetto completamente diverso dal precedente, ovvero a tre arcate di pietra sul modello degli antichi ponti romani (ricopiando il contemporaneo progetto del Ponte sul Tesina). Il Consiglio cittadino bocciò il progetto, imponendo all’architetto di non discostarsi troppo dalla struttura tradizionale. Così nell’estate 1569 Palladio tornò ad un progetto su struttura in legno, in modo tale che la sua elasticità fosse in grado di contrastare l'impetuosità del fiume Brenta, ma di grande impatto visivo. Il ponte era appoggiava su 4 piloni di legno di forma triangolare, allineati al flusso d'acqua, ed era ricoperto da un tetto, sostenuto da colonne tuscaniche; Questo ponte fin dall'antichità costituiva la via di comunicazione principale fra Bassano e Vicenza. Ancora nel 1748 il ponte fu travolto da una piena; fu poi ricostruito tre anni dopo da Bartolomeo Ferracina.Durante la seconda guerra mondiale il ponte fu nuovamente distrutto dai nazisti mentre si ritiravano, ma fu ricostruito nel 1947, secondo l'originale disegno di Palladio, in nove mesi. Successivamente al nome ponte vecchio, si aggiunse la dicitura, ponte degli Alpini in quanto furono tra i principali sostenitori della sua ricostruzione.Dal ponte si gode di un'ottima vista sulle montagne circostanti e sulla Valbrenta.
