I would not skip this film by San Francisco based animator Dan McHale.
So topical, and entertaining.
Love it. Great work, Dan.
I like the concept… and the message that it seems to convey. Honestly though, I kind of WANTED to skip it about 20 seconds in. Aside from the ticking clock, nothing was really holding my attention. I had to force myself to sit there, and I don't think any sort of entertainment (especially animation) should be that way. I'm not a big fan of random-animation-tests strung together to music. I like seeing a concrete story and getting to know and love (or hate) characters, personally. And that's just me.
The quality was nice, though, and there were some fun artistic displays. Not for me, overall.
I didn't skip the whole film but I did jump ahead. Took me 12 seconds to get to end. Honestly 5 secs were spent getting to something about "a short film" title card though.
So what I got was we're all rats, working for a big corporation, but upon seeing an animated film we rallied to bring down the corporation holding us hostage.
Assuming it was a clever social commentary right?
Was this a social experiment and if so did I pass?
I liked the look of it.
That about sums it up. I did little skips along the way and didn't miss anything. Its point was made much too slowly, with nothing to hold my attention.
Old Man Father Time
I thought the message, if I got it correctly, was kind of forced. Yes, we all hope animation festivals turn people's heads and make them realize where the quality lies, but the storyline only made itself clear at the very end, and where do we get the money to make these films for animation festivals?
You do not need money to make an animated film.
So long as you either do everything yourself, or the people working for you are willing to work for free. And you have a way of paying rent while you make the film.
Well yes.
Your other choice is to not make a film.
The central conceit is a good one, but now I feel that gag and title have been co-opted by a film that otherwise doesn't work.
I didn't get it. Are we all idiot rats in society's maze, and device-swiping dullards – or are we tearing down capitalism?
And where did the film showing com into it, why were they fleeing from (or motivated by?) a film they apparently slept through?
Nope, you lost me sorry.
Cute animatic! When will we see the finished piece?
Nice work, Dan. Is this an animatic version or is it already complete?
I took it to mean that whilst people are out there fighting for social justice the masses are distracted by meaningless stuff including animation festivals.
I assume the people asleep in a cinema are the same people at the animation festival screening. You're right they need to wake up.
Chris Sobieniak
I certainly got the message clear!
To me the film seemed a bit esoteric. The message was fairly clear but I did too feel the need to skip the film. The countdown is very distracting. I would probably ditch that as there is already a lot of visual information. The composition and color schemes were appealing, but the motion leaves something to be desired. I agree with the theme. However, the journey to that theme could have been better.

Sooo...yesterday after posting a comment about how much I needed to get back in a classroom, an old high school friend wrote back and told me that the local childcare center is hiring. Keep the opportunities coming! The only problem is that I have so much to do this summer. I'm leaving to be a camp councilor in three days, my grandmother is coming to visit from France, and I desperately need some time with my cousin and godson! I'd LOVE to have the job, and I could use the money, but visiting family is still more important to me. I don't want to apply for a job when I'm going to be gone the following week...and when I get back from camp I don't want to ask for a week off after only having worked for a week or two. But it's such a good opportunity! I'd love the experience, a chance to do what I love, and an income never hurts either.
Besides that, I'm relatively uninteresting and uninspiring today. The cleaning process continues. I can now see the floor, so that's progress, but I have a lot more to accomplish today if I'm going to be ready to leave for camp and have company over as soon as I return. If I can get my mess consolidated (from three rooms down to one) I'll be able to live with it until I get back. That's definitely doable. I apologize for the short post and lack of picture, but today is one of those get-the-housework-done days where there just isn't much going on. I promise plenty of crazy stories in the near future! ...and some crafting and lots of pictures when I finish cleaning!!!

The Ukrainian Private Joint Stock Company Research and Production Association «Practika» has offered its new versions of Kozak 2 multipurpose armored vehicle for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and National Guard.
That was reported by "Tehnika viyni" military TV show.
The Kozak 2 family of multipurpose armored vehicles was designed to provide the crew with the maximum possible safety against mines. The basic kits provides ballistic protection against light weapons fire, while the heavier kit can protect the crew from ambushes, including mines threat.
New-made Kozak 2M modification unlike regular Kozak 2, don't use truck chassis as basis, but is made with monocoque body and independent suspension. This, in combination with CTIS, gives better off-road performance. All other construction features, including ballistic and blast protection, are equal to Kozak 2.
The Kozak 2M armored vehicle is intended for the same tasks as regular version – soldiers transporting, ambulance tasks, convoy escort, reconnaissance, fire support etc.
The Kozak 2M family consists of two versions – tactical version for small combat groups Kozak 2M.1 and reconnaissance/artillery targeting version Kozak 2M.2.

So, you've taken the plunge and signed up for your first triathlon, but you have no idea where to start when it comes to the swim. Here are 3 triathlon swim tips that will help you get ready to dive into your sprint triathlon swim training.
1. Find a pool
Obviously, you need a pool to practice in, but if you're gym doesn't have a lap pool, don't worry! Here are some creative places to look for some chlorinated water to swim in:
- Your town/community pool
- Your local high school or college
- A hotel pool
- An apartment complex with a pool
- A friend's pool
The most important thing to remember when you're just getting started is that the more time you spend in the water, the more confidence you'll build and the better swimmer you'll become. If you can't find a legit lap pool, don't worry. It's better to swim circles in your friend's above the ground pool or back and forth in your peanut shaped apartment pool then to not swim at all.
For a more in depth post about how to find a pool, click here.
2. Get the gear
Triathlon swim gear is pretty simple:
- Goggles
- Swimsuit
- Swim cap (click here to watch how to put on a swim cap)
- Towel
For the guys, board shorts work just fine, however per Davey, they can cause quite a bit of drag. So if you want a simple way to speed up your swim, get a pair of tri shorts. You'll need them for race day anyway and you can wear them when you bike as well.
Here are the essentials:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
Here are a few extras that both Davey and I use that makes our swim training more enjoyable:
- My TriSwim Coach App – creates awesome swim workouts – ($1.99 on iTunes)
- Sport Count Lap Counter
- "Spit" de-fog goggle spray
- Earplugs
3. Mentally Prepare
Your mind is your most powerful tool when it comes to your triathlon swim. In fact, many people won't ever do a triathlon because they're afraid of the swim. So before you even dip your toe in the water, it's a good idea to mentally prepare yourself. Here are a few things to keep in mind before you take the plunge:
- You probably won't be able to swim your full triathlon distance the first day in the pool.
- You might be out of breath after one lap. It's OK. In fact, that's normal when you're first starting out.
- We are mammals for a reason. If swimming doesn't come naturally to you, then you're normal. If it does, you might be a mermaid, part dolphin or a super hero.
- Just like training for a marathon, working up to your triathlon distance will take time.
- The more time you spend swimming laps, the better swimmer you'll become.
- Don't get overwhelmed. The swim is only 10% of the race. It will be over in 7-15 minutes (depending on your race distance).
- Goggle marks take a long time to fade so if you swim during your lunch break, people may give you weird looks during your afternoon meeting. If that happens, just proudly tell them that you're training for a TRIATHLON!
- You may never feel comfortable in spandex or a swimsuit. No matter how many times I swim, I still feel self-conscious walking from the locker room to the pool and I try to get into the water as fast as I can.
- You may feel like you're not making any progress and then one day it will just click. Don't give up.

We asked CAT FANCY readers and CatChannel visitors how they dealt with the difficulty of a cat's passing. Here is what helped them work through the loss of their cat. Tell us if these ideas have helped you or if other things have worked for you in the comments below.
Let Yourself Cry
Crying and relying on my other cat to help me get through it. My husband handled it differently; it was his cat, and the cat passed away from a blocked urethra in my husband's arms. If only the vet let do payments our cat would still be alive, we even got a $6,000 refund four days after he died last March. I've decided the only way my husband will be able to move on is with another kitty, so for Father's day I'm bringing home a new kitten just for him. – Dyanna Engle-Bayer
Create a Memorial
It's pretty much the same when your dog dies; you still feel totally destroyed on the inside. Personally, the best thing I did (and I don't regret it at all – or any of my other tattoos, for that matter) is getting my dog's paw print, adoption date, and the date she had to be put down tattooed. In some ways, the pain from the tattoo (it honestly didn't hurt that much) or at least hurt less than losing my dog, but it helped me to heal. But On the bright side, I will always have a piece of my sweet Pepper with my forever. – Brodi Jean Patricia Tallman-Sellsted
Remember and Move On
I went out and adopted another one. Even though I love my new cat, it's been a difficult road because he could sense that I was still grieving. I'm ashamed to admit that perhaps even though I tried giving him love, perhaps he didn't feel accepted for a long time. – Judy Camblor
I have lost many loving cats over the past 35 years. It is one of the most difficult things I have ever had to deal with. They are my children and I live for them! I have always had cats, so there has never been a need to replace them, but I can honestly say that no two cats are alike – each one has its own very loving personality. And, yes: The others do know that I am grieving and do their best to comfort me and each other. I miss every single one that I have lost. I loved them all so dearly. – Jennifer Newman
Help Rescue Another Cat
Katie had been my beautiful companion for 12 years. She had congestive heart failure and pancreatitis the last couple of years. The vet told me that Katie would tell me when it was time to let her go. She did. I could see it in her eyes. I loved her so much I knew I could never be without a cat again. I went right from the vets office when she was put down to the shelter and adopted a new kitty in less than an hour. This may not be for everybody, but it helped me heal. The week I had to wait to actually get the new kitten was the longest week in my life. Simcha can never replace Katie. One cat is not meant to replace another. But she fills that empty spot in my heart. It is so great to come home and have a cat staring out the door waiting anxiously for me to open it so she can shower me with kitty kisses. And I feel good knowing that as one kitty life ended, the life of another kitty was saved. – Elizabeth Williams

CHICAGO -- After a 96-loss season, the Chicago Cubs are not raising season-ticket prices for the 2014 season.
It's the third year in a row the Cubs aren't raising overall ticket prices under the Ricketts family ownership. The Cubs raised prices before the Ricketts family's first season in 2010.
"We're not increasing anyone's invoice for 2014," Colin Faulkner, the Cubs' vice president for sales and partnerships, said in a phone conversation Monday.
According to Team Marketing Report's 2013 Fan Cost Index, the average Cubs season ticket was $44.55, down 3.8 percent. That was still the third-highest price in baseball. That average doesn't include the premium club box seats, according to the FCI's methodology.
Some might wonder why the Cubs aren't lowering prices again. The Cubs drew 2,642,682 fans to Wrigley Field this season, their worst attendance since 1998. It was still the 12th-highest figure in baseball.
The Cubs lost a franchise-record 50 home games and have lost 197 games overall in the past two seasons, as the front office helmed by Theo Epstein stocks up the minor league system. Since the Ricketts family bought the team from Sam Zell and the Tribune Co., the Cubs have lost 375 games in four seasons.
Did they feel pressure to lower prices, either from fans or internally?
"I think there's always pressure to do lots of different things," Faulkner said. "We looked at data, we talked to fans. We felt holding the line was the right thing to do.
"We lowered prices last year in three different areas. I think people can look and ask if it made a difference or not. We know that every dollar we bring in goes back to the baseball side."
For the casual fan, this doesn't mean much. The Cubs haven't released single-game ticket prices, which will be slightly more expensive than season-ticket prices for the third straight year. Single tickets are also priced "dynamically," which means the Cubs can increase them on a game-by-game basis, depending on several different factors, including scarcity.
The Cubs will also still have five pricing tiers, but juggled the number of games in each one. This year, there are six more gold games and three more silver games, which are the third- and fourth-highest-priced tiers. There is one fewer marquee game (most expensive), four fewer platinum games (second-most) and four fewer bronze games (cheapest). This affects single-game ticket prices, obviously, but not the overall season-ticket packages.
Given the poor play of the team, it's no surprise the Cubs have struggled selling single-game tickets.
"The decrease in attendance is in single-game tickets," Faulkner said. "In 2012, we had the largest season-ticket base in franchise history. We were very close to that in 2013, a few hundred seats difference."
One way the Cubs are combating this is with a new cheaper section dedicated to single-game ticket buyers.
A 350-seat section down the left-field line of the upper deck will be priced at $19 for every game, no matter the tier. These tickets won't be available on a season-ticket basis and will only be delivered digitally.
"We want to make sure the person buying the ticket for him and his two kids are the ones actually going to the game," Faulkner said.
The Cubs are doing this partially to test the digital delivery-only method, as they did with dynamic pricing in the bleachers, and partially to give fans a static priced option that applies to every game. The left-field section where this is being applied is typically empty.
"We wanted to make sure we had a $19 ticket," he said.
The only ticket plan that is going up for 2014 is the combination night/weekend plan.
That's because there will be more games in the plan after the Cubs won the right to add more night games during stadium renovation negotiations with the city this summer. Last year, there were originally 56 games in the plan. This year there will be 63.

I'm using ">" in the format of a form field to display all characters in upper case. The problem I'm having is that in memo fields it cuts off the entry way early. You can only see a limited amount of characters even though memo fields are suppose to be able to handle over 65 thousand. Is there any fix for this?

Re: > format
Hi there.
I'm no expert, but if you want text to be all caps, have you set the font size too large? Or, if you imported huge chunks of text, is there a block of space that puts the total size of 65,000+? Or, how about this, are you sure the whole text is in the memo field, especially if you imported to fill the memo field.
You've probably thought of all these already, but if you don't have an Access bible to refer to, I've also found that the online help (F1) is really useful in solving problems like this. Give it a real thorough search. Your answer may be lying in the small print.
Good luck

WOW...The format function of Access is great...but not that great. Memos are a lttle much for it to handle especially if they're long winded.
Your best bet is to simply test the input for upper case on a constant bases (say, in one of the Key events) and inform the user that they have fallen out of uppercase when it happens. This is relativly easy to do and if you really need further assitance in reegards to it, then by all means, let me know.

Fishing Tips
Fun Fishing with Kids: Take Your Children Fishing
by, 03-12-2017 at 01:48 AM (605 Views)
Taking children fishing can be fun, but also challenging. Remembering a few key steps can help make your fishing experience with children a success.
Getting Started
Fishing with children can be one of the most rewarding experiences that an adult can enjoy, it can also be one of the biggest challenges that an adult can experience. When taking children fishing there are some important steps to remember and some important things to understand.
The Basics
First of all most children will simply be excited to get outdoors and may be a lot less concerned with catching a fish than simply having a fun time. As parents we may sometimes lose sight of this simple truth and instead become fixated on the absolute need to catch a fish at all costs. The picture of a father standing out in a torrential downpour with howling winds and crashing thunder next to a crying child comes to mind, therefore step one is to make reasonable goals for your first child-based fishing excursions. Explain to the child or children what the expected outcomes are and take the opportunity to talk about enjoying the outdoors as much as the actual act of fishing.
Practice makes Perfect
Secondly it is also important to understand and recognize that children are still developing their fine motor skills and the act of fishing usually involves the use of at least some fine motor skills, so practice is imperative. The act of practicing for an upcoming fishing trip can also be made fun. Back yard casting sessions and knot tying lessons are just a couple of ways that an adult can help prepare a young fishing enthusiast before the actual big trip.
Make it a Safe Trip
In addition to practice and skills preparation, safety is also of major importance. No act or event will sour a young fisherman faster than a near death experience such as falling in the river or getting hooked with a barbed hook. Regardless of the type of fishing make sure that the child or children have the proper equipment for the occasion including a properly sized life jacket, sun glasses, rain jacket, or other essential items. Additionally if your fishing adventures often take you into remote areas or miles off shore make sure that you are watching the weather forecast and avoid taking the kids out on a day when the forecast looks more like a hurricane warning than a sunny picnic day.
Get out there and Fish
Finally the number one rule with teaching anyone to do something as fun and exciting as fishing is to remember the golden rule and treat others as you would like to be treated. Children are especially sensitive to angry words and grumpy adults who have lost sight of the simple joys of being outdoors and fishing with a friend.

Product Availability: A very small number of Dragon Booster toys are available right here. Click here to view the selections.
Click here to view Dragon Booster Books, Games, Toys, and More on amazon.com.
Action Figures
A total of 16 different action figures were manufactured by Jakks Pacific, however only seven of these were offered for sale in North America. At this time, no other online sources for the toys are known. Please take a moment to help the effort to get the toys back in stores. Click here to read more.
Below is a set of 10" articulated dragon action figures with riders and gear. The first three of these were available through amazon.com from April until the end of June 2006. These were priced at $9.99. The second set of three (Wyldfyr, Cyrano and Wraith Beau) were only sold overseas and were seen by fans in Europe, South Africa and Hong Kong. Note the packaging in the photos for the second set is in Spanish as these were intended to be sold in Mexico. Whether they ever went on sale in Mexico is unknown. These particular samples were obtained from Hong Kong.
In addition to the above, there were four Super Speed Dragons. These were flywheel-based toys that race along the floor when you pull the rip cord. These four were priced at $7.99 from amazon.com and were sold from April 2006 through June of that year. The four Super Speed Dragons were also available at KB Toy Stores in the United States during the latter half of 2006.
The following are the official product shots of the six 10" action figures:
A set of four were previewed at the San Diego Comic Con back in July 2004. Below are photos of the figures shown at the convention.
There were also a set of six Racing Dragon toys. These were smaller figures attached to wheeled bases. These were never available in North America. They were seen by a fan at Toys R Us stores in South Africa. Also, a full set of six of the toys were obtained from a dealer in Hong Kong, and as you can see in the photos below, these were packaged to be sold in Mexico, hence the Spanish on the packaging.
Below are some close up photos of the figures. Thank you to IbanezJFS for providing the photos shown here and thanks to SheWulph for sending the toys.
Dragon Booster is now available on DVD in Canada, Australia and the US. The details of the DVDs vary somewhat from country to country, so read on.
United States
The first four episodes of Dragon Booster are now available on DVD in the US. The release date for Volume 1 was February 7, 2006 and it's being released through FUNimation. The episodes on the DVD are in full screen aspect ratio. The cover art is shown to the right. There is also some bonus material on the disc:
FUNimation says that the release of more episodes will depend on the sales for Volume 1, so if you're a fan and want to see the whole series released, buy your copy of Volume 1 today! This DVD is only $10.27 with free shipping when ordered from Deep Discount DVD, so don't delay. It can also be ordered from amazon.com.
Video Games
A Dragon Booster video game for the Nintendo DS hand held game system was released in North America on 12/22/05. The game, created by Konami, is a racing-based design where players select gear and race dragons from the show on various tracks.
It is rumored that the game may make it's way to the Playstaion 2 as well, but this is unconfirmed.
14 screen shots from the actual game are available for viewing by clicking the image to the right.
Click here to see a poster for the video game.
Trading Card Game
A Dragon Booster trading card developed by Score Entertainment is now available in stores. The card game emulates Dragon street racing where one chooses a dragon to race, adds gear, and makes various types of moves during the course of the game including battle with another player. There are two ways to win the game: either to cross the finish line first with 30 points, or to exhaust all rival's decks such that you're the only player left with cards. Given the variety of cards and combinations in which they can be used, numerous strategies are possible. As with other trading card games, card packs contain a randomized selection of cards with some cards being common and others being rare. Part of the challenge is to construct a strong card deck to suit a particular strategy out of the cards one randomly acquires by purchasing card packs.
If you would like to learn how to play the game, click here to download the rule book (PDF format). Like all games made by Score, the rules and turn sequence are simple and easy to learn. The depth and fun of the game comes in choosing the right combination of cards to place in your deck to achieve a winning strategy. And many different strategies are possible depending on which dragon and gear you choose to use.
When you're ready to get deeper into the game, click here to download the Advanced Rulings Document (PDF). This explains the turn sequence in a greater level of detail which helps resolve any ambiguities that may come up. Also, download the Current Rulings Document which corrects a few card typos and provides clarification on certain card meanings.
Deck Building
Dragon Booster is played with two decks: a Race deck and a Dragon deck. All your clear crystal cards, namely dragon, crew and gear, go in the Dragon deck. All the event and maneuver cards go in the Race deck.
The Dragon deck must contain at least one dragon card and can have up to 10 cards in it. You can have no more than two copies of any given card in it. This deck is not shuffled.
The Race deck must have exactly 60 cards in it. You can have no more than four copies of any given card. This deck is shuffled prior to the start of the game and is kept face down on the table.
That's it! As with just about all the rules, things are kept really simple. The fun begins when you decide what to put in your deck. The card library below will help you become familiar with the cards.
Browse the complete card library.
Search the card library by card type, color, text and more.
Starter decks include a playmat to help you get organized as you start out playing. The play area is divided into three main sections: the mag pit where you keep your dragon card and magged gear, the track where you play maneuvers and the zone where you battle it out against your opponent with whatever maneuver cards you have in play.
View the front side of the play mat.
View the back of the play mat.
If you'd like to know more about the rules or anything else about the game, visit the Dragon Booster TCG forum on the main Dragon Booster Fan Forum and ask.
Ready to Play?
Are you a gamer in the San Francisco Bay Area and interested in playing? If so, contact . We also play the Inuyasha trading card game as well. Beginners welcome. Free starter decks are available for new players who want to try the game.
If you're in western New York state or north western Pennsylvania and want to play, contact .
A line of novelizations of some of the episodes have been released in the US. The books are listed as being for all ages and are 96 pages long each. The retail price is $4.99 in the US. There is also a separate book called "The Ultimate Scrap Book" that is 32 pages. The books are presently available from the major online book sellers such as amazon.com.
At present, the first five books and the scrap book are out and available. According to author James Gelsey who wrote these adaptions, a total of ten novelizations were originally written covering the first ten episodes of the series, however the publisher has declined to release the last five (probably due to lower than expected sales of the first five). Indeed, amazon.com used to list three additional novelizations (The Stand, The Horn of Libris and Three Times a Hero), but these have since been removed from amazon.com's catalog. The cover art that would have been used for these additional three books is shown below.
Dragon Booster Books on sale! Amazon.com is running a "buy 4 for the price of 3" sale for a limited time. Click here to see books available.

Energy Star
ENERGY STAR® is an international standard for energy efficient electronic equipment.
It was created by the US Environmental Protection Agency in 1992 and has now been
adopted by several countries around the world. The ENERGY STAR® label helps consumers
easily identify products, homes and buildings that save energy and money, and help reduce
air pollution and greenhouse gases.
ENERGY STAR® is designed to overcome many of the market barriers, such as lack of information
and split incentives, to the adoption of cost-effective energy efficiency products and services in a
sustained manner and to help unleash the attendant savings for individuals and organizations.
ENERGY STAR® reduces the amount of energy consumed by a product by either automatically
switching it into a 'sleep' mode when it's not being used and/or reducing the amount power
used when in 'standby' mode.
Global warming and climate change caused by increased greenhouse gas emissions are among
the most serious environmental, economic, social and political issues ever to be confronted by society.
ENERGY STAR® equipment uses less energy. As most electricity in Australia is generated by
coal-fired power stations which produce carbon dioxide, saving energy means reducing
greenhouse gas emissions.
Guidelines for Superior Energy Management
EPA offers a superior energy management strategy based on the success of thousands of
ENERGY STAR® partners. Partnership with EPA turns energy management plans into actions:
Top-level attention and a public commitment to secure resources for sustained improvements.
A credible, objective energy performance rating system to assess the performance of buildings,
validate savings, and recognize top performance. 5-stage building upgrade approach based on
building science and designed to take advantage of building system interactions for greater
savings and comfort. Visibility of an organization's achievements in the public and financial markets.
Access to a network of partners, bringing creative approaches to problem solving.
Future of the Energy STAR® Program
Each year, EPA makes a significant effort to accurately estimate the environmental
and economic benefits from the ENERGY STAR® program.
The keys for continued success over the next decade to which the EPA remains committed are:
– Maintaining the value of the ENERGY STAR® label among the many partners using it to communicate
characteristics of their products or their environmental stewardship actions.
– Providing clear, objective, and accurate information to consumers, businesses, and organizations
about sound approaches for energy efficiency and environmental protection.
– Maintaining transparency with the business community as the ENERGY STAR® program moves forward
and energy efficiency specifications are updated and improved.
Sustainability – Leed
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ is the nationally
accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings. LEED
gives building owners and operators the tools they need to have an immediate and measurable impact on their
buildings' performance. LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in
five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency,
materials selection, and indoor environmental quality.
LEED provides a roadmap for measuring and documenting success for every building type and phase of
a building lifecycle.
LEED Certification?
The first step to LEED certification is to Register your project. To earn certification, a building project must meet
certain prerequisites and performance benchmarks ("credits") within each category. Projects are awarded Certified,
Silver, Gold, or Platinum certification depending on the number of credits they achieve. This comprehensive approach
is the reason LEED-certified buildings have reduced operating costs, healthier and more productive occupants, and
conserve our natural resources.
Who can use LEED ?
Everyone: Architects, real estate professionals, facility managers, engineers, interior designers, landscape architects,
construction managers, lenders, government officials…
The LEED program also includes a full suite of training workshops and a Professional Accreditation program to develop
and encourage green building expertise across the entire building industry.
The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is the nation's foremost coalition of leaders from every sector of the building
industry working to promote buildings that are environmentally responsible, profitable and healthy
places to live and work.
The U.S. Green Building Council's core purpose is to transform the way buildings and communities are designed, built
and operated, enabling an environmentally and socially responsible, healthy, and prosperous environment that improves
the quality of life.
Alternate Sources of Energy
Alternate Sources
Wind Energy
Wind energy is the use of the wind as an energy source. Wind is a clean,
inexhaustible, indigenous, energy resource that can generate enough
electricity to power millions of homes and businesses. A wind energy system
transforms the kinetic (moving) energy of the wind into mechanical or electrical
energy that can be harnessed for practical use. Wind energy is one of the fastest
growing forms of electricity generation in the world. The United States can currently
generate more than 10,000 MW of electricity from the wind, which is enough to
power 2.5 million average American homes.
|Its clean.
|Wind power is intermittent in many locations, because consistent wind is needed to ensure continuous power generation.
|Require significant amounts of land.
|Land on which turbines are built can still be used for farming and grazing.
|It spoils the look of the landscape.
|Cheap in terms of real estate costs with increasing population and land cultivation.
|Wind turbines don't make much noise as people think.
Solar Energy
Solar power is the technology of obtaining usable energyfrom the
light of the Sun. The sun's heat and light provide an abundant source
of energy that can be harnessed in many ways. There are a variety of
technologies that have been developed to take advantage of solar energy.
These include concentrating solar power systems, passive solar heating
and daylighting, photovoltaic systems, solar hot water, and
solar process heat and space heating and cooling.
|It is a renewable source of energy.
|It is not predictable because it depends on the sunlight.
|It does not cause any pollution.
|Batteries need periodic maintenance and replacement.
|It is an infinite energy source.
|Currently the photovoltaic cells are expensive.
|Very little maintenance cost.
|The energy produced is more expensive than power supplied by the utilities.
Biomass Energy
Biomass energy is created by harvesting organic matter,
such as wood or special 'energy crops', and converting it
into heat, electricity or transport fuel. The conversion
processes used include combustion, anaerobic digestion
and fermentation. Trees and plants absorb carbon dioxide
as they grow. So when energy is generated from biomass
there is no net addition of carbon dioxide so long
as the biomass is regrown.
|It is abundantly available.
|Greenhouse gases produced by burning.
|Amenability to storage and use as per power demand.
|Extra costs of installing technology to process and recycle wastes.
|It is less polluting.
|Expensive to collect, harvest and store raw materials.
|It is generally renewable.
|Production of biomass and its subsequent conversion to alcohols is particularly expensive.

Families mark first anniversary of tragic Shoreham Airshow plane crash
TEARFUL families gathered to mark the first anniversary of the devastating Shoreham Airshow plane crash.
A sombre service that included a minute's silence at 1.22pm was held yesterday (Mon) - the exact time the jet smashed into the A27, killing 11 people during a packed airplane event.
Flowers and messages were placed on the Shoreham Tollbridge, near the crash site in West Sussex and 11 doves were released to represent everyone who lost their lives.
On August 22 last year a vintage Hawker Hunter aircraft ploughed into spectators watching the Shoreham spectacle, making it the worse airshow disaster in Britain for more than 60 years.
Lesyle Polito (CORR), whose 23-year-old son Daniele was one of the tragic victims, revealed the "passing of time" has not made her loss "any easier".

Quick Guide to Buying Easter Eggs and Bunnies
They put artificial colors into American food year-round. But it is on holidays when the population, children in particular, consume extraordinary high amounts of artificial food dyes from all possible sources: sodas, candies, cookies, pies, cakes, etc. This Easter season is no exception: Easter Bad Surprise Lollipops, Would Jesus enjoy eating the food dyes? Be ready for a spike of allergies, asthma, ADHD and… yes, cancer symptoms. Surprisingly to me, despite all the available information that has become broadly known for the last decade, many American moms still have no knowledge of potentially health and life-destructive effects that consumption of artificially colored food may cause to their kids. In the attempt to help alleviating existing health conditions and preventing new ones from triggering, let me share my today's quick observations made in Easter treats isle at a local Walmart.
Isn't this vilely to charge cute Easter eggs and bunnies with evil chemicals?
We all know that all children love brightly colored toys and foods. But isn't this grossly immoral, for us, the adult people pretending to believe in God, to exploit children's perception and monetize on children's trustfulness while feeding them with cheap hostile chemicals like 2-(6-Hydroxy-2,4,5,7-tetraiodo-3-oxo-xanthen-9-yl)benzoic acid (Red 3 a cancer suspect) or trisodium-5-oxo-1-(4-sulfonatophenyl)-4-[(4-sulfonatophenyl)hydrazono]-3-pyrazolecarboxylate (Yellow 5 causes behavioral changes in children), especially as the Easter treats? Easter is about LOVE and there is only meanness and hatred lurked in that treats. One day your children will give it back to you in the form of uncontrolled anger caused by ADHD, other psychiatric disorders or unexplained school shootings and suicides. Shame on you, adults! Read: Food Dyes: A Rainbow of Risks
Artificial colors of Easter: Starburst, Skittles, Lifesavers
The Dye Diet Calculator shows risks, not toxicity
The Dye diet Calculator works based on the lists of ingredients and doesn't take into account actual amounts of potentially toxic food additives. The reason is clear: those values can only be measured by physical analytical methods (see for instance How Much Dyes Do We Drink?) Here you go, below I report the results of some Easter candy measurements for you.
Easter Candies: Health Risks and Dye Contents
Jumbo Gumballs
This garbage from China distributed by Galerie (Kentucky) is made of sugar, gum base, five artificial colors: titanium dioxide, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, red 3 and Blue 1 topped with butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) preservative, linked to child hyperactivity and cancer. Enjoy, if you want! But reserve a space in closest emergency room too.
The Dye Diet Calculator shows unacceptably high health risk = 6.6 and zero nutritional value = 0.1. See the calculator for more details.
Dyes content per 210 g container, mg
Red 3
Yellow 6
Blue 1
The only reason that you may be lucky is that gumballs are often dyed only on the surface. This is why the dye content is low. But it is plenty titanium dioxide inside the balls.
Please remember, that gum base normally is not swallowed and it is indigestible. So basically, sugar and artificial colorants are all that goes into your child's blood.
Dubble Bubble Eggs
It is another bubble gum crap, but this time from Canada by a division of Tootsie. It is made from "domestic and imported ingredients," possibly from the same company in China as the above one because the ingredients are essentially the same.
The Dye Diet Calculator shows very high health risk = 3.5 and almost zero nutritional value = 0.2. See the calculator page for more details.
Dyes content per 113 g container, mg
Red 3
Blue 1
Although this container is smaller and your child gets smaller overall amounts of dyes, their concentration per 1 g is about the same.
Peeps Marshmallow Chicks (pink)
With marshmallow, along with the colorants you child gets gelatin instead of gum base as in gumballs. Yes, it is a little better but keep in mind that gelatin is the least nutritious protein mix produced by partial hydrolysis of collagen extracted from the skin, boiled crushed horn, hoof and bones, connective tissues, organs and some intestines of animals such as domesticated cattle, chicken, fish, and horses.
The Dye Diet Calculator shows high health risk = 2 and almost zero nutritional value = 0.25. Visit the calculator page for more information.
Dye content per two tray 85 g container, mg

Lifesavers Gummies Bunnies and Eggs
This is another artificially colored gelatin treat designed to make your child rather sick than happy. In addition to usual azo dyes and titanium dioxide your child is fed with unspecified amount (less than 2%) of motor oil called mineral oil, a suspected carcinogen. Is your child a kind of a robocop?
The Dye Diet Calculator shows unacceptably high health risk = 5.6 and essentially zero nutritional value = 0.15. Visit the calculator page for more information.
Safer alternatives are chocolates
Yes, chances are lower that you find artificial colorants in chocolate bunnies and eggs. But watch out: many of them may contain Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate (PGPR) presence of which means that you are looking at a ridiculous surrogate. Below are two a little better choices for you.
Chocolatey Covered Marshmallow Bunnies (Melster)
No artificial colors but artificial flavor and partially hydrogenated oil (means some trans fat) are present. The Dye Diet Calculator shows moderate health risk = 0.56 and moderate to good nutritional value = 1.8. You can eat this once in a while. Visit the calculator page for more information on the additives.
Hershey's Milk Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Eggs
No artificial colors but artificial flavor and sulfur dioxide (means sulfites). Poor quality of chocolate too. The Dye Diet Calculator shows moderate health risk = 0.82 and moderate to good nutritional value = 1.2. As you note, this one is insignificantly riskier and poorer but you still can eat it once in a while. Visit the calculator page for more information on the additives. I have tried this coated egg and, let me tell you, I didn't like it: lusciously sweet and too plain. Not recommended, especially for children. Maybe for laboratory animals? For conclusion: I don't like marshmallow stuff – nothing healthy.
Bottom line. Surprisingly, detected artificial colors content has turned to be relatively low in comparison with findings in other products. (Check out these articles for more data). Good! But it's worth keeping in mind that Recommended Daily Intake for Vitamin A is below 1 mg. The lower dye contents the safer are Easter eggs and bunnies. Chocolate covered marshmallows are safer than marshmallows and gumballs. But the best choices are real chocolates: look for whole body chocolate bunny monsters. Those, if eaten in moderation, will bring long happy hours of joy and love to your child. Also, ask for really delicious and healthy Ritter Sport Chocolate with Hazelnuts – you will not regret ever! Have a Happy and Healthy Easter, my friends!

Ask Nintendo about this. You know. Nintendo. The biggest and most successful video game developer in the world. They have been highly resistant to using voice acting for anything except character-originated sound effects. Almost none of their games use voice acting for dialogue, and it has nothing to do with budget, as some of these games are among the highest selling games of all time. They argue that voice acting creates a barrier between the player and the character, even in more RPG-ish leaning games such as the Zelda series.
Of course, you could respond, "Well, that's Mario and such. Of course those games don't need dialogue to be immersive." However, that's exactly my point. If you have a game that is openly emulating movies, with a linear storyline, a strong emphasis on narrative and the like, then voice acting might be appropriate. However, that doesn't mean it's always necessary or even positive. Simply put: games aren't movies, so not all games will be improved by the same things that improve movies.
You could argue that, at the least, RPGs might gain more from voice acting than other genres, but, again, it depends on the type of RPG. A Bioware-esque RPG might gain from it, but a game that focuses on being dynamic or claustrophobic or incredibly large and varied may not. Sometimes, the introduction of voice acting might be preferable, but, as you implicitly note, it might take too much budget for the good it does. However, since voice acting necessarily imposes more of a structure on a game than text, voice acting may actually be a -bad- thing for RPGs hoping to emphasis dynamic or procedurally generated content. It all depends on what you're looking for and what your vision is.
For what it's worth, I enjoy plenty of games with voice acting and plenty without it. Avernum 1's newest remake was my most played RPG of 2012 despite having no voice acting and little in the way of graphics. (Let me note here that this was my first Spiderweb game, and I don't exactly have a deep history with indie or hardcore PC RPGs. This was a very pleasant surprise!) However, recent games like Dragon Age Origins, Skyrim, and Fallout New Vegas are also personal favorites.
As in the previous discussion about Dark Souls, I think designers should focus on the essence of a game rather than checking boxes off on the cover. Use voice acting when it makes sense, but don't waste the resources or limit a game's dynamism when it doesn't.

Lawyers' dispute has caused backlog of 800 court cases, says David Ford
Around 800 legal cases are waiting to go to the Crown Court because of industrial action by lawyers, the justice minister said.
Last year barristers in Northern Ireland withdrew from all new criminal cases requiring legal aid in protest against new rules reducing the level of payments from the state. The most serious cases are heard in the Crown Court but the protest by lawyers has created a blockage in the flow of hearings.
Legal proceedings aimed at resolving the dispute are due this week.
Justice Minister David Ford said a plan was in place to deal with the backlog once lawyers returned to work.
He added: "Those who talk about their concerns for vulnerable witnesses, for those who had offences committed against them and in some cases for vulnerable defendants have an obligation to carry out their work."
He said payments would be backdated once a solution was found, meaning those in dispute could return to work now.
Mr Ford has said the new rules are fair and essential. He claimed legal aid in Northern Ireland remained significantly more generous than payments in Great Britain.
The Criminal Bar Association, which represents barristers, has said the highest standards of representation cannot be achieved under the amended rules.
Gavan Duffy QC, chairman of Criminal Bar Association stated: "The minister is mistaken in his view - as self-employed individuals, prosecuting and defence barristers are not obliged to undertake cases; we accept briefs based on our ability to serve justice, protect the vulnerable and guarantee fairness for all. The present fee scheme prevents us from doing so.
"The reality we face is that with these latest reductions, the fees proposed are now half of what was paid 10 years ago.
"In effect, the department has rendered it impossible for prosecuting and defence counsel to properly serve victims, defendants and the public.
"Our position remains the same, counsel operating in the most difficult and complex trials, should be paid a professional fee for the level of work and preparation required.
"We have witnessed the utter degradation of the justice system in England and Wales, as evidenced by the judiciary, Westminster, victims' groups, the media and lawyers alike. We will not participate in the downfall of the justice system in Northern Ireland.
"The present situation is untenable in the long term for all involved including defendants, victims and the justice system as a whole. The Criminal Bar Association stands ready and willing to engage, provided the Department has a realistic resolution to offer. We have yet to see any evidence of this."

(Reuters) - Aegerion Pharmaceuticals Inc raised its full-year revenue forecast following strong sales growth for its cholesterol-lowering drug Juxtapid in the second quarter, sending its shares up as much as 26 percent.
The number of patients receiving the therapy rose 185 percent in the quarter from the first quarter, while new patients waiting to receive the drug more than doubled.
Juxtapid was approved in December as an alternative treatment for patients who have a genetic predisposition to high cholesterol. The company launched the drug in late-January.
Cowen and Co analyst Nicholas Bishop said that at this early stage of the launch, investors will remain focused on the number of patients on the drug and the number of unique new prescriptions written.
"We continue to believe that the (disorder) opportunity is larger than the Street is modeling and that based on Aegerion's revised patient number guidance, (we) estimate that new 2013 revenue guidance could be beatable," Leerink Swann LLC analyst Joseph Schwartz said.
The company said on Tuesday it expects to exceed prior guidance of 250 to 300 patients on therapy by year-end.
The drug brought in sales of $6.5 million in the second quarter, beating analysts' estimates of $4.3 million.
Aegerion, which received a positive opinion for the drug from the European Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use in May, said it now expects a formal marketing approval in August. A CHMP nod increases the likelihood of an approval in European Union.
Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Aegerion's shares were up 10 percent at $85.13 in late-morning trading on the Nasdaq. The stock touched a high of $97.46 earlier.
Aegerion raised its current-year revenue forecast to the range of $30-$35 million from $15-$25 million.
The company's net loss widened to $18.9 million, or 66 cents per share, in the quarter ended June 30, from $13.9 million, or 63 cents per share, a year earlier.
The higher loss was due to an increase in selling and administrative expenses to support the commercial launch of Juxtapid.
Analysts on average had expected a loss of 62 cents per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

Guild Leader Episode # 49
Dealing with inner guild drama.
The question that was asked a few days ago was how you deal with fighting and squabbling in your guild?
If you have been a guild leader for any length of time I'm sure that you have dealt with some sort of drama during that time, if not you might have just got lucky. It's just a matter of time that an incident pops up.
Well I have seen a lot of this from girlfriend/boyfriend break ups, the occasional theft of a guild items, people just fighting to fight, pointing fingers after a bad raid, and whatever else you can think of. There is no handbook to resolve arguments, there is no magic bullet to get rid of things like this.
You need to keep an open mind a lot of time and don't be afraid to ask a few questions, we need to get to the bottom of this. Its pretty normal for us to argue and ask why did you do that, hell I do it all the time.
As a guild leader you need to be able to listen first, then react once you have all the facts you need to make a decision. Resolving inner guild problems should be pretty easy, you all know each other and you know how they will react to what you might say.
Sometimes I think of myself as a babysitter more than a guild leader.
Does it seem like everyone is dropping everything on you all at once, yes this happens a lot. Remember to delegate some of these issues when you are burdened with a lot of work.
I can't sit here and tell you how to solve all of guild problems, but I can say is you need resolve them as fast as possible, before things get out of hand. That isn't just these types of issues it pretty much all guild issues that you have. Try to resolve them fast, it makes you look like a more competent leader.
Remember when you were a kid in grade school and you get into a fight or pushing match and the theater separated you from the other person, sometimes you have to do that and people will get over it with time.
Now I don't mean to rush to conclusion and rush judgment. Make sure you get the whole story before doing anything rash. There isn't a guild that doesn't have its problems, just a lot of guild that don't have a leader that can handle them.
Guild Leader is a weekly series by Beer and Joysticks .com and written by Chris Gillis covering all aspects of being a better guild leader. If you have any questions or comments we welcome them below this article.

(ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.) — A man confessed to shooting a 4-year-old girl in connection with a road rage incident in Albuquerque, New Mexico, police said.
Tony Torrez, 32, was charged with the murder of Lilly Garcia, who died Tuesday from a gunshot wound to the head. The shooting happened along I-40 in Albuquerque.
Torrez was taken into custody Wednesday, after police received an anonymous tip. Albuquerque Police Chief Gorden Eden, Jr., speaking at a press conference, said Torrez confessed to shooting Garcia and had been charged in her murder.
Tony Torrez (32) was arrested tonight for the murder Lilly Garcia. He was our "Person of Interest." #JusticeForLilly pic.twitter.com/1vRhZ8ldgu
— Albuquerque Police (@ABQPOLICE) October 22, 2015
Lilly's father Alan Garcia, who was driving the vehicle at the time of the shooting, spoke to ABC News about his family's heartbreak.
"She was so proud to tell people she just turned four," Garcia told ABC. "She just started school two days ago. She was very bright and very smart."
"She is my world," he said.

Prado, Uggla fuel Braves in win over MarlinsSep 18, 2012 - 3:44 AM
Jeff Baker had an RBI base hit and Jason Heyward scored a pair of runs for the Braves, who have won four straight on the heels of a three-game skid.
Tim Hudson (15-6) allowed four runs on 10 hits over five innings to earn the win. Craig Kimbrel stranded a runner in the ninth to earn his NL-best 37th save of the year.
The Braves, who lead the NL wild-card race, now trail the East-leading Washington Nationals by five games.
Gorkys Hernandez went 3-for-5, falling a homer shy of the cycle, and Bryan Petersen knocked in a pair with a fourth-inning triple for the Marlins, who have dropped five of seven.
Wade LeBlanc (2-5) was tagged for six runs on seven hits over four innings to absorb the loss.
The Braves wasted no time and put up four runs in the first inning. With runners on the corners, Prado delivered a single to right-center field to score Heyward. Uggla followed with a home run over the left-field wall.
"I tried to go away and I left it middle," LeBlanc said of his home-run ball to Uggla. "I made a mistake and he made me pay for it."
Atlanta padded its cushion with a pair in the fourth to go up 6-0. Uggla walked and David Ross singled to put runners at first and second. Baker followed with an RBI single to right-center field to plate Uggla and Ross came across on Hudson's groundout.
But the Marlins countered with four of their own in the home half. Rob Brantly singled to score Justin Ruggiano before Peterson's triple plated a pair. Hernandez followed with a triple of his own to score Petersen.
"We let them back in the game a little bit," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said.
Miami was able to cut its deficit to 6-5 in the seventh when Jose Reyes scored on Carlos Lee's base hit.
The Braves added one in the eighth when Heyward scored on Prado's single to center field.
Game Notes
Prado has 55 multi-hit games this season ... Uggla has 42 two-out RBI this season ... Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton was scratched from the lineup with soreness in his left side and is considered day-to-day ... LeBlanc's last win came Aug. 17. He is 0-2 over his last six starts.
