This week's challenge was the final "two true and one false." We weren't able to trick most of you, and we got some pretty funny comments about the possibility of a movie star in our Gas Scheduling Group. This week's correct answer...

THE FALSE STATEMENT IS #3.

There IS a movie star in our Gas Scheduling Group, but it's not Ed Fong. Jason Wong actually played the role of a triad gang member in the movie "Rush Hour 2."

And on a more serious note...Our yearly "Getting Ready for Winter" document is a great resource to brush up on prior to a cold weather event hitting CGT's service territory.

Statement #1 was true. Yes, INSIDEtracc is the primary method of notification in the event that CGT needs to call an OFO, but we have several other methods as well:

• INSIDEtracc is the primary method of notification for all customers. Contact your PG&E representative for this service. Other methods of notification are secondary.
• Noncore end-use customers who do not have INSIDEtracc and are not in an NBAA may rely primarily on e-mail notice.
• E-mail and the Pipe Ranger Web site are methods of notification available to all customers.
• OFO text messaging is the method PG&E uses to alert all subscribed customers with OFO/EFO information. Customers may subscribe to this service on Pipe Ranger's Subscription Services Index page .

Statement #2 was also true. In a local curtailment situation, noncore end-use customers may be curtailed if demand is forecast to exceed the capacity on a local transmission system.

Who's on top at the end of Week #8?

The following people were the first five to answer correctly, and therefore, earned the bonus 100 points:

Phil R.
Rick P.
Lisa B.
Nikki P.
Monica S.

Below are the aggregate points standings, listed in descending order of points earned:
