Yea,finally i think the movie is coming alive. Nemesis surely catching up with someone in Kingslanding. But walahi this king too weak. Imagine say na Jeffrey make i hear say person wan lock up im wife.

Theon is rily a lost cause, but am still anticipating a radical twist in the prognostic outcome of his story line.

I still think Lord Commander Snow is wrong going for the wildlings. I wonder what will have become of castle black upon his return.

Stannis is surely heading for another defeat unless he stops listening to that evil woman. Imagine asking him to kill his daughter.. for wetin na.

Tyrion Lannister & Khalesi.. what a sumptuous combination.

[b]But hold on, i thought Ser Jorah had that terrible skin disease? [/b]

The stone men disease will take a while to spread to the rest of his body. I guess it's at that point he can become infectious. He could get lucky and be healed like Stannis' daughter.

ApexTitan:
That Dornish prison though!

Yeah the banter btw Bronn and the 'most beautiful' sand snake makes up for the poor sword fight scene.

Forwetinnah:
Alot of transformation going on in GOT....boys turning into men, girls turning into women. Who would have thought Sam of all people would get laid , dude got his first trip into paradise.
FINALLY someone is handling Cersei for me. May her days be long and full of torment in prison

I say Amen to that with a raised glass of fine dornish wine.

Ogatitus:
I thought they took an oath of celibacy.. conji na bastard lol

The oath is not of celibacy. It reads 'I shall take no wife, hold no land , father no children'.....
No penalty was placed on Jon for shagging Ygritte.

What a way to end episode 7 . Cersei finally getting some just dessert.
This Ramsay is more of evil spirit than human. I now know Theon is a lost cause.
Finally, the rift I was expecting btw mellisandre and Stannis.
I don't understand why Dany came to hate Ser Jorah so much, after all he stood by her at her most vulnerable times. Tyrion will make a good adviser for Dany though.

Forwetinnah:
Reek/Theon was one sick bastard himself until Ramsey conquered him, I don't pity him. Ramsey better watch his back though..i just feel really sad for Sansa, she's been through so much emotionally

I disagree. Theon was power hungry and became over zealous in his quest. All to win his father's approval.
I never thought the day would come I would back Theon but Ramsey is in a class of his own. His intelligience makes him out evils even Jeoffrey.

The writers are sick. I don't how it fares in the book, but these masochist inclinations of theirs is taken too far.
First the red wedding, now this.

Sansa is rag doll for all comers.If life with Jeoffrey didn't toughen her nothing else would. I am hoping Reek snaps out of it and dispatch that beast called Ramsay.

sage1000:
Who do u think d 3 dragon riders are.

I'm thinking Dany, Jon and Tyrion

I didnt know they had cockpits.

gj22:
Wait. Am I the only one rooting for Stannis? Come on nairaland Stannis Baratheon is awesome and a wise man.

Stannis is overly reliant on Melisandre. He is ruled by what the 'Lord of Light' wills. Melisandre may come up with her own agenda along the way.
My money is on Danearys any day; she has a fearless army, 3 yet to be tamed dragons and a respected bloodline.
I foresee strong alliances being forged soon.

kay9:
Very funny.
Ok, ask me nicely...

Pray tell, kind sire.
I know how impossible it is to translate a book to movie. I learnt bitterly with James Clavell's 'Shogun'. The mini-series was a dissapointment for me after the book. The moment I start GOT on Kindle, the series will be a waste of time. I prefer to enjoy the TV series first.

Gbola5:
She needs to embrace that she is the blood of the dragon. She needs to show she's a true Targaeryen. She needs to show them she can dominate them and not be in fear of them. Dont worry, wait till episode 9 i think something will happen.

I hope so. I hate to see those dragons having a mind of their own.

Does Khaalesi still have any control over her dragons? One has gone rogue, two others are still tamed with chains. What happens when she needs to call them to war, if they dont listen to her any more? I think she needs the service of wargs or whatever the 'book crowd' calls them.

That would be Gbenga Adeboye, the funniest Yoruba man ever!

The law of nature!.

You contradict yourself. Nature encourages self preservation, survival of the fittest. You eschew killing and embrace suicide . I guess you will "rather commit suicide than kill yourself" a la mama P.

joseph1832:
My dear if your soul is truly enlightened you will know that the taken of a human life is a taboo, no matter the circumstance. Unless that life is given willingly by the one who possess it (not cajoled into giving it).

You must be joking. By what law?

The web is dark and full of spoilers.

LordReed:
I have a variation of this question I would like you to consider EnlightenedSoul.

You are attacked in your home by five armed bandits. After robbing the family they decide to rape your daughter, in the process they discard a gun within your reach. Your only option is to kill the bandits if you must stop them from raping your daughter. What would you do?

Your scenario is not similar to the OP's. Your house is under seige, your daughter about to be ravished, possibly you end up being killed before the robbers leave. Maternal/Paternal instinct, self preservation all comes to play. You kill all five without any qualms. You go to church for thanksgiving. . Only a coward would refrain from this course of action.

Viva! Baba Miliki.

Hello Richmond, nice project you have going on there.
But you need more than 36 pcs of the solar modules. That battery size is massive.

DUNKA:
gooodday please how can I get d water filler for flooded batteries?

You will get it on amazon. Search for OTC 4621 Two-Liter Battery Filler.

kastonkastrol:
I Think there was a chaotic situation between the subscribers of igando estate and LBIC which received deposits from the subscribers. Fashola was asked to intervene between the two parties. Seriously I don't know what happened after that but I think the numerous petitions halted the completion of igando estate.

Anyway fashola really did great in lagos

I had the unfortunate misfortune of subscribing for the igando/egan scheme since 2009 through LBIC with full payment. Today its remains an abandoned project said to have been taken over by Fashola.
This scam being pictured here was only started last year and here it is being commissioned. Lagos state government is one big scam. This project is for them and their cronies.

Marpol:
Ever heard of solar powered inverter?

No I havent please educate me.

A home in the middle of a tropical rain forest? Can it be run without electricity? How much diesel needs be burnt to keep the generators going? Ironic for someone going green. This is an artistic statement from Kongi, not a practical home.

bintsdeyi:
Thanks @Akanniade, its a new panel. I don't understand what u mean by voltage drop btw panel and Charge Controller, I'm a novice in ds, all I do is charge and use whenever necessary.

Voltage drop may be due to your wire gauge being too small wrt distance from panel to C.C. It means you may be losing power along the cable.
You should check the cable joints as well.

bintsdeyi:
Pls help me house

I have 1200W Inverter, 120watts Battery, 100Watts mono solar panel.
If I use generator to charge d battery, I could power a TV and a ceiling fan for abt 7hrs, but if I depend only on d solar panel to charge d battery for a whole day on a nomal sunny day like today in Lagos, I can't power d same TV set and a ceiling fan for more than an hour
Pls can any one help tell me why I can't enjoy this solar panel?
Thanks

It's still the classic mistake of improper sizing. You should first check the voltage drop between your panel and C.C. Check for shading , dust cover on the panel.Also that battery is small for the loads you want to run for 7hrs.

c0ogumo:
I said Some calculations don't really apply in real world because we make so many assumptions when calculating Solar panel size and Battery bank size.

1. Power Consumption:
The power consumption on a TV may be 250W. That does not mean that the TV would consume 250W continuous. It may reach 250W at start up and then back to 200W.
Again for 30HP pump. We calculated that 1HP is 750W x 30 = 22500W. We dont know how old this pump is ....maybe the pump would consume more or less we don't know. We need to actually measure the consumption at startup and again after about 15 mins to actually figure out the consumption of the pump.
Some people may the thinking its good to over-design the system, Yes its good for a DIY/Small project..... but for 30HP pump running 24/7 thats not a joke.

2. Battery Sizing
So many labeled 12V 200AH batteries out there are just 150 or 160AH battery. I know the secret behind all these cheap batteries. The Chinese manufacturers add glass to the battery to make it the weight of a 200AH battery. How do we account for this in our calculation?.So people please watch out when picking your batteries.

3. Solar Panel sizing
The installation of your panels is another critical thing. It has to be installed correctly to make sure there is no shade. shade could reduce the energy harvest by 50%. Its has to be at the correct angle. How do you account for a 250W panel putting out 150W in your calculation.

4. Wiring
After doing a the calculations and thinking everything is correct, if you do not use the correct wire size, you wont get the desired output.

To round it up, all the assumptions we make when sizing our system is good if we are installing a small system. For a very big installation, everything has to be right or we could be throwing millions in the drain.

I hope this answer you question richmond74.
Guys please drop your comments

It wasn't a question. He was emphasising your point. Lots of folks don't do proper sizing mainly from financial constraint. I think it's time government do a mass importation of solar products for people to buy at discounted rates.

GeorgeD1:
akanniade,
nice to see but have you thought about possible wind loading on your roof structure occasioned by the stepped angles of the panels?

I guess time will tell. The prevailing wind though, is from the west.

Thanks GeorgeD.
The north side roof holds the remaining 6 panels.
Kudos to Richmond74, he did a fantastic installation.The harvest on the north roof is just as good as the south.

These water filler for flooded batteries, makes filling stressless. It stops water flow once cell level is reached. So far I have topped up twice in one year.

It's a 24x 255w installation. He finished installation 3 days ago. I will post performance later.

JUO:
Bros good work, is the hanger adjustable?

No it's not. To be candid it was a rather frustrating effort
The welder could not translate the idea to reality.
I had to call on Richmond74's expertise, as I had no more space except the roof.

Changed my battery bank to Trojan and lined up the panels along the driveway (it's a new house).

I observed drop in harvest over the last one year from the 3.2kw solar array due to shading. It could not keep up with the battery bank(39.36kvah).
