We were so excited to head to GreenBuild and see what Boston had in store. Familiar faces and some new innovations were present, most notably the presence of "biophilia" and "Biophilic design."
While Green and Build may have some word fatigue, Biophilic Design is THE hot topic for building materials Emanating nature in a space, lots of literal green instead of just the word are really trending in materials.
Texture is also the feel good feature of many building products. The hands on aesthetic is really taking off in building materials.
Acoustics is also making itself heard, with a big focus on human comfort. Sorry, Loud Diedre in Cube 6, we are tuning you out with some sound control.

J. Crew is teaming up with UltraTouch insulation on a Blue Jeans Go Green denim drive, which benefits communities in need. Bringing a pair of your old "dungarees" (those ones hiding in the back of your closet) to a participating J. Crew store will get you $20 towards an in-store denim item. The blue jeans are recycled into eco-friendly UltraTouch insulation and used to insulate the healthy homes of those in need. For more information on UltraTouch contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com. For more info on the Denim Drive click here.
We believe in work-life balance, but with products like ours, how can you not take work home with you? During a recent renovation at her home in Pittsboro, NC, CaraGreen's Barbara Ford used Standard Grade Poplar Panels from BarkHouse as cabinet insets, EcoFusion strandwoven bamboo Colorfusion in African Safari for flooring and UltraTouch recycled denim insulation in the walls. The Fords were adding a master bedroom and wanted it to have a treehouse feel to it, which they achieved using this suite of CaraGreen products.
UltraTouch cotton insulation took a front row seat at the Nascar Nationwide Series race in Avondale, Arizona. Bonded Logic, makers of UltraTouch and Cotton Inc. sponsored the race and a denim drive; a recycling program for used jeans to be made into the healthy, high performance cotton insulation.
The Blue Jeans Go Green 200 race encouraged race fans to bring old blue jeans and other denim for recycling into UltraTouch insulation, which is then donated to community and charitable housing, such as Habitat for Humanity.
More information on this healthy alternative to fiberglass insulation can be found here.

UltraTouch recycled denim insulation, available through CaraGreen, has just gotten easier to install. A portion of the batts in each package now contain perforations allowing you to easily size the batt to the dimensions needed. The perforations enhance the installation experience and have no impact on the nature or performance of the product. The perforation pattern was developed to provide the most common "off size" pieces with the least amount of cutting. "We talked to installers and the one thing we heard was they wanted a product that was easy to cut," said Sean Desmond, Sales/Marketing Manager for Bonded Logic. "UltraTouch is a substantial product, givin g it great thermal and acoustical performance. By adding perforations, we make it easy for anyone who wants to use an eco-friendly product to size and install it."
UltraTouch Denim Insulation is available in R-13, R-19, R-21 and R-30. The denim insulation is sourced entirely of post-consumer blue jeans. It can help earn LEED credits for recycled content, rapidly renewable content, and low emitting materials.

UltraTouch denim insulation, Cotton Inc., and CaraGreen are teaming up on a grant program that provides insulation to architects and contractors that are working on community-based green buildings, such as museums, schools, and libraries. The program is meant to address the needs of these groups and help build green communities across America. As a result of our denim drives over the past few years, nearly a million square feet of R-13, R-19, R-21 and R-30 insulation are available for grants. Using UltraTouch can contribute to 12 LEED credits. UltraTouch is made from 85% post-consumer recycled and rapidly renewable cotton. It also offers maximum thermal performance and superior soundproofing (30 to 50 percent increase in acoustical performance). And, it has no VOCs, is safe to the touch and, as a result, can be installed without goggles, respirators and gloves. Contact CaraGreen for assistance with your grant application or fill out the application online. Grants are available now through Sept. 30, 2011.

Habitat for Humanity Greensboro is hosting a Blitz Build in September called Raising Roofs and UltraTouch Cotton Insulation is being donated to support the cause. Six houses will be built during a five day period. All of the volunteers building the houses will be local professional builders. On the first day of the build, Monday, September 20, builders will learn about many of the new green products being used on the build. Stacy Glass from CaraGreen will be demonstrating how to work with UltraTouch insulation. To learn more about UltraTouch, click here.
The newest addition to Charlotte's skyline is the 54-story Duke Energy Center, located on South Tryon Street. To demonstrate their commitment to sustainability, the shell building is going for a LEED Gold rating, and all tenants have been asked to meet a minimum of LEED Silver for their spaces. Some of the features in place to earn the Gold rating include water saving features such as waterless urinals, dual flush water closets, and low flow lavatories. Storm water, ground water, and condensate will be collected to irrigate the green roof, and to offset potable water consumption for the cooling tower. Energy consumption has been optimized through various approaches such as high efficiency mechanical equipment, daylighting blinds and photosensors, along with dimmable ballasts. Indoor environmental quality has been addressed with low-emitting materials, increased ventilation, and thermal comfort control. And 90% of the indoor space will have access to views of the outside, with 75% having access to daylight.
As for materials, a minimum of 50% of construction waste was diverted from landfills and at least 20% of all materials will have recycled content. Caragreen is proud to be a part of this project; we supplied Durat solid surface material and UltraTouch cotton denim insulation. Durat contains 30% recycled plastic and has been used in break rooms for countertops. And, UltraTouch insulation has 85% recycled and rapidly renewable content and is used throughout the building.
One of the building industry's most environmentally friendly products just got a whole lot greener and a bit less confusing. UltraTouch Natural Cotton Fiber Insulation, commonly referred to as "recycled blue jean insulation", is now sourced entirely of post-consumer blue jeans instead of the post-industrial denim scraps it was previously made from. The recycled jean material has made its way through the used clothing chain without being sold and has reached a point where it would typically either go to a landfill or be incinerated. Now, this material will be put to good use in UltraTouch cotton insulation.
Additionally, UltraTouch's packaging has been improved to increase its product per truckload by 15 percent. This significantly lowers the product's carbon footprint and makes shipping easier.

With 28,000 attendees and over 1000 exhibitors at Greenbuild in Phoenix, there was much to be seen at this year's show. We had our work cut out for us making it through the crowds to see all of the exhibitors in two days, but we did it. We saw many new products that excited us, including the latest offererings from our manufacturers who exhibited there, who are continually improving and expanding their offerings. Here are some of the highlights of what is coming from them in 2010:
TorZo Surfaces
Bonded Logic /UltraTouch
Coverings, Etc.
As samples and pricing become available, we will announce these new products through our monthly newsletter and on our website.
In mid-July, North Carolina's first green McDonald's restaurant opened at 1299 Kildaire Farm Road in Cary, NC marking it as only the third of its kind nationwide to be built using eco-friendly materials and technologies. Development of the restaurant began with McDonald's Owner/Operator Ric Richards who wanted to refurbish the 25-year-old building. As reconstruction options evolved, Richards said the environmental impact became clear: building a structure dedicated to sustainability would mean significant cost savings and reduced energy consumption. "Even though the costs to build this McDonald's were higher in the near term, we knew that going forward with this green initiative we would set the stage for more savings long-term, both financially and environmentally," Richards said.
CaraGreen has become the premier distributor for UltraTouch Cotton Insulation in the Southeast and we can now offer you the most competitive pricing at 15%-20% less than previously available. And, as

Proofread articles/booklets translated into Portuguese
Budget $250-750 USD
We have a number of booklets/articles that have been translated into Portuguese, but need to be proofed and edited for grammar, spelling, punctuation and mechanics. The stylistic guidelines we use generally follow those of O Estado de São Paulo, as stipulated in that reference style book. Our first project is a book of approximately 320 pages that needs to be reviewed. If this project is done successfully, then there could follow a number of other books and booklets to be reviewed.
There should be no change in the content of what has been translated, only in cases where there might be some typographical error. However, the project really consists of just reviewing the material to ensure that it generally follows the spelling, mechanical, and stylistic guidelines laid out in the style book of O Estado de São Paulo. The content of the material for this book is general instruction with religious themes. There is no technical language involved.

Rushlee Buchanan, New Zealand cycling olympian and St Peter's, Cambridge alumni (1999-2005) reflects on the impact St Peter's had on her teenage years and the development of her cycling career.
As a student at St Peter's I was encouraged to do both a summer and winter sport, but in my first few years I didn't have a summer sport that I really enjoyed. In 2000 we did a project on the Summer Olympics in Sydney and for some reason I honed in on the cycling and this was basically my lightbulb moment! I enjoyed riding my bike but never knew it was a competitive sport, and that women could do it. Sarah Ulmer was my favourite athlete of those games and she was the reason I noticed cycling. My father was also training for fun-rides and I remember coming home from school one day and jumping straight on his bike, and the rest is history. After that day I managed to convince my father he should start a cycling team at St Peter's. There was only one other person in my year who rode. Every year it grew and I am proud to see what the St Peter's Cycling Academy has become today. So much has been achieved since 2000 when I saw Sarah Ulmer compete in the velodrome in Sydney. Today I train daily in one of the best velodromes and high performance facilities in the world on the St Peter's campus - wow! What an accomplishment for the school and community!
Rushlee Buchanan
St Peter's, for me, was a great journey through my teens. I loved running around in the mud in Year 7 during Prep Flag Day, and I enjoyed entering every single event in athletics sports to get maximum points for Swears (maybe I was just a little competitive). St Peter's gave me the opportunity to find my passion in numerous areas, not just sport. It was such a supportive environment, so I tried a bit of everything!
St Peter's gave me the opportunity to search through a range of different areas to see what I enjoyed and thrived in. The school also provided a safe and supportive environment where I met great people who also inspired me. I can't ignore the fact that the school project was the first time I heard about Track Cycling, so I would say St Peter's definitely changed my life, but not just in the information I gained - the school backed my ambitions and took the time to see cycling was a growing sport in New Zealand.
Since finishing secondary school I have seen so many areas of the world, met amazing people (including my husband) and discovered a lot about myself. I am a professional cyclist, an olympian, a Commonwealth Games athlete and for the last nine years I have lived in perpetual summer (New Zealand and the USA). I'm still working on my degree - a slow but steady process I have been doing since leaving St Peter's. (Traveling the world competing does not make for effective study time!)
St Peter's provides so many opportunities to each student, but it is up to you to reach out and take them. I encourage everyone to try as many things as possible, to see what you really enjoy, what you really thrive in and maybe somewhere along the way you will find your passion. It can be anything. It might be something the school doesn't offer right now (like cycling was for me). The foundations on which the school operates will allow for anyone to learn what and who they really want to be, if they themselves also put the effort in.

A telephone and answering system is usually one of the first things a company needs, and it can be one of the pricier parts of the setup costs. With the number of choices along with the huge list of features available, this can be a confusing choice to make for a business owner to make. The key to choosing a telephone and answering system is knowing which features are really necessary for a given company, and being able to estimate the growth of the company over time. When these two things are done, business owners can easily evaluate their options and choose the right system for their companies.
There are three basic kinds of telephone systems for businesses, and Internet options (VoIP telephone) for any of them. There are also several different handset types with special features, and a handful of important features that business owners should consider opting for. By knowing about system types, phone types, and important telephone system features, the owner of a company of any size can make the right choice and open the lines of communication to the target market.
Business Telephone and Answering Systems
Businesses today have three types of telephone systems to choose from. In addition, there are Internet options for each system type. The system should be chosen based on the size of the company and the planned expansion of the business. Choosing a more complicated system than is needed results in unnecessary overhead costs for a small business. On the other hand, underestimating the size of the system needed results in customers getting a busy signal. The four types to understand and consider are the KSU system, the KSU-Less system, the PBX system, and VoIP systems.
Keyless Systems
Keyless systems are ideal for the smallest business, with fewer than 10 employees. The handsets in such a system contain all the necessary features and there is no separate central unit. The installation of a keyless system is fairly simple, but has to be done on one's own, as telephone service providers do not usually install these systems.
KSU or Key Systems
KSU systems have more features and are best suited for companies with between 10 to 50 employees. They involve a central unit and and can be easily upgraded as the business grows. However, they do not have all the features of a PBX system. The first key systems had lighted buttons for each line, but modern key systems are much more advanced. Almost all are completely digital and overlap significantly with PBX systems in functionality. This has given rise to the term 'Hybrid system', referring to a KSU system with many PBX capabilities.
PBX Systems
A Private Branch Exchange system is the most advanced business telephone system. PBX systems are easily upgraded, like KSU systems, and can grow with the company of up to any size. For this reason, they are generally chosen by medium to large businesses. The upfront cost of a PBX system is considerably higher than the cost of other systems, though, so a small business should avoid jumping the gun unless it is clear that the advanced features offered by this system type are necessary. One variation of the basic PBX system is the PABX, which stands for Private Automated Branch Exchange. This system is often used by call centres, and other businesses which need a single number, to offer multiple lines to external callers.
VoIP Systems
VoIP telephony is the technology by which the Internet is used to place phone calls. However, VoIP systems still need telephone system to manage and route calls. Many PBX systems support VoIP, and these are generally called IP PBX systems. Some key systems can also be used with VoIP. The use of the Internet has put many advanced telephone system features within the reach of small business owners.
The following table summarises the company size ideal for each system and the basic characteristics.
Telephone System
Company Size
Fewer than 10
No separate central unit; most basic
KSU or Key
5 to 50
Wide range of features; central unit routes calls
Greater than 50
Greatest range of advanced features; requires professional installation
The company size given in the chart should be calculated with the company's projected future growth in mind. For example, a business with three employees expecting to triple in size in a short period of time may opt for a basic KSU system with options to upgrade later. Special advanced features that are crucial to the business may also be a good reason to disregard company size when choosing a phone system.
Telephone Types
The handsets that must be bought for a business telephone and answering system depend on the service chosen (KSU, PBX, VoIP, etc) and the features included in the service. That said, there are a few different basic types of telephone handsets that are used for business telephone systems. A shopper should be aware of the special characteristics of conference phones, IP phones, analogue corded phones, and cordless phones. Of course, a large company needs a mixture of these, depending on where and how they are to be used.
Conference Phones
When video or audio conferencing is a necessary feature, the ideal handset is a conference phone. These phones have special speakers that project the sound so that everyone at a conference table can hear the speaker on the other end of the line. Video conferencing requires special camera, speaker, and phone setups as well.
VoIP Phones
There are IP handsets designed to work with KSU and PBX systems that look much like traditional telephone handsets. However, other systems use a virtual phone on the computer and require only headsets to make phone calls.
Analogue Phones
Analogue phones have all but disappeared from business systems, but they still have a use for those who need basic reliable communication. Analogue phones can be used even when the power goes out or when there is no network connectivity, unlike IP phones. However, the compatibility of an analogue phone depends on the system chosen. There are both analogue and digital KSU systems as well as PBX systems. Analogue phones have the added advantage of easy plug-and-play setup.
Cordless Phones
Cordless phones are usually digital but can be analogue as well. Analogue cordless phones offer less security since the signal can be intercepted, but when this is not an issue, they offer mobility in an analogue telephone system. Cordless phones require mains power, unlike corded analogue phones.
Telephone and Answering System Features
There are literally dozens of telephone system features for businesses. Evaluating which ones are really useful and which ones are not worth the extra cost is an important part of choosing a telephone and answering system. The features often come in packages and vary depending on telephone service providers in different areas. Remember that salespeople may not accurately gauge the business' needs and instead try to sell the biggest package possible. By knowing in advance about different features, one can often negotiate a package with more useful features.
Auto Attendant
The auto attendant is the automated voice that gives callers various options and allows them to dial in to an extension directly. This is a basic feature that takes the place of a receptionist in some businesses. When this is the case, it can mean a significant savings every month.
Call Logging
Call logging is a security feature that can be useful in medium to large companies to keep track of employee calls. It is probably not necessary in a small office for security purposes. Check with the service provider about what information is recorded with call logging.
Call Barring
Both incoming and outgoing calls can be controlled with call barring. For example, it can be used to bar any outgoing international calls, or bar calls to certain numbers.
Call Recording
Call recording is often used for judging the quality of customer service in a company. Be aware that features like call recording are often much more affordable with VoIP systems.
Computer Integration
Computer integration is an advanced feature that allows the computer to work together with the phone. One-click dialing is possible, and the computer may even be able to automatically open the customer's account based on the number the call is from. This is another feature that is becoming more popular with VoIP systems.
Call conferencing allows more than two people to participate in a phone call. With the increasing popularity of online applications that do the same thing, this may or may not be a feature worth paying extra for.
Automated Directory
An automated directory makes it easy to find a certain person's extension using just their name. Obviously this feature is most useful in large companies, especially when employees need to communicate with dozens of different people on a frequent basis. Otherwise, it may be simpler for employees to learn just a few extensions for the people they interact with most.
Call Forwarding
Call forwarding allows an employee to send the call to another department, or someone who can better address the caller's issue. For customer service purposes, call forwarding is essential since it is less than professional to tell the caller to 'call back and mark the extension XYZ'.
Intercom/Paging Capabilities
An intercom is very useful whenever general announcements to a particular department are frequently made. Certain business types use this feature more than others.
Music on Hold
Music on hold is thought to make the wait more bearable for callers. The music can be punctuated with advertisements or announcements but frequent repetitions can do more harm than good.
Backup Power
A backup power supply is good in areas where there are frequent power outages. Backup power is usually provided for a given period of time, usually a few hours. Check with the service provider for details.
How to Buy Telephone and Answering Systems on eBay
Finding telephone equipment is easy on eBay, where a wide selection of models and handsets are always available. eBay's advanced search options let you search by price or even brand, making it simple to find handsets or other equipment that is compatible with a given system.
To find business telephone equipment, enter a term like 'PBX phone system' in the search box on any eBay page. You can refine the search with any of the search criteria provided, and browse through the appropriate subcategory to see even more search criteria. Choosing refurbished equipment by clicking on the options under the search criteria 'condition' is a great way to get high-quality equipment for less, and eBay's seller feedback system makes it easy to find reputable sellers who sell refurbished equipment.
As with any transaction, ask the seller any questions you might have before making a purchase and be sure to check the return policy and warranty when applicable.
Telephone and answering systems are the lifeblood of most companies, allowing immediate and efficient communication between employees and clients. The right system allows a business to provide excellent customer service and increase sales, while an inadequate system is a hindrance at every level of the company organisation. Telephone and answering systems have to fit the size of the business they are for to avoid unnecessary costs. They also need to be upgraded as the business grows. The most common kinds of telephone systems are key-less systems, key systems, and PBX systems.
As technologies change, there is an increasing amount of overlap between these system types, especially when Voice over Internet Protocol options are thrown into the mix. There are various kinds of handsets that can work with each of these telephone systems, and a range of features that business owners have to choose from when deciding on the right package from a telephone service provider. By knowing one's options beforehand, one can simplify the decision-making process when choosing a system, and find telephone and answering equipment online through eBay with just a few clicks of the mouse.

A published blog post can be very powerful, to the extent that it has the power to drive traffic, potential to make thousands of money in sales and every other monetization methods you have chosen for your blog.
But the truth is…..
Do you know the exact types of blog posts that makes money? So you can write articles around them? It's very likely you do but if not that's still okay as this article is going to throw more light to this issue.
Don't have a blog? It's okay! Here's My Guide on How to create one in less than 30 minutes from now… Here's also an article on three quick ways to monetize your blog
Moving on!
There are different types of blog posts, We have;
- How to Guides
- Case studies
- Personal stories
- List Blog Posts
- Resources & Links
- Checklists
- Wake-up calls
- Infographics
- Product Reviews
- Opinion pieces
- Roundups
- Podcast Transcripts
- Interviews
- Expert Opinions and so many more.
These types of blog post has the ability to do many things and here's two outta the many.
- Drive insane traffic to your blog.
- Make you money.
6 or more out of this list can make you more than the usual So here we go with the 8 types of blog post that will surely make you money.
1. A Blog Posts That Helps
You probably was not expecting this right? Hey but here's the truth. If you don't solve someones problem with your blog post or at least provide any inkling of value no one's going to take action on your blog posts.
Even if you have Adsense on it expect a very low RPM/CTR.
Its as easy as that, The aim of this article is to spell out to you the specific types of blog posts that makes money. Simple & By the end of this article… You should know them.
That should be your aim as a blogger. Providing absolute value over your desire to make money with your blog.
I believe everything is give and take. It applies to the society, It applies to blogging. If you don't give out something very very good then expect something very very less.
So if you want your blog post to start making you serious money ASAP! Then my friend solving problems should be a starting point for you.
2. A Blog Post That Gets a Lot Of Traffic With Engagement
If your blog post don't get traffic this automatically puts your monetization efforts to waste. PERIOD!
If you don't get people to visit your website or in this case read your blog post then who's gonna buy what you're selling or who's gonna click on your Advertisements? Its one thing to write helpful posts as stated above and its another to drive traffic to it.
Nowadays its useless to write helpful, long, content rich articles without making efforts to get it in front of people. Now that's a challenge! Few days ago i published an article that should help you increase your social media usage and till today have not met the target yet.
So before you can start making money off your blog post you need to focus on driving traffic to it.
But i have good traffic! Yep you may but you surely don't have your Google Analytic traffic reports embedded somewhere. How are you going to show you have the traffic?
Except you publish Monthly income reports like Patt Flynn then there should be a way you can prove to your new visitors they can trust you. Now this is easily achieved by the amount of engagements on your blog.
If thousands of people read your blog post daily and they just leave then whats the use? The kinda trust people have in such blogs is way lesser than they do with say Huffpost or Problogger.
Ways to show Engagement on your Blog
- Try as much as possible to seduce your readers to leave you a comment – This is often the number one way prove you have massive engagement on your blog. Take a look at; Backlinko or QucickSprout cause both have something in common.
- Have your social share buttons display the amount a blog posts has been shared – This often influence people to click on the share buttons themselves and it also proves that you're getting alot of shares on social media…. You're getting the social media buzz
- You could take to your blog sidebar in displaying the amount of followers you have on social media websites – This is a nice way to prove you have the engagement, The audience. The ability to gain more and more trust. See what i found on ShoutMeLoud; A very good example.
People tend to trust an authority site full of engagement and social proof than new ones like mine.
3. Reviews Blog Post
Now this is the place I'm so guessing you wanna see me talk about. After the whole adding value thing and having multiple traffic source plus engagement if you want to make money off your blog posts, Reviews are a very good way to go.
This part consists of finding products worth recommending, writing reviews about it and placing outgoing links with your affiliate links within your blog post. SIMPLE.
This is my favorite way of making money with my blog. All i just do is buy the product or ask for a review copy, Write something good about, How it helps & benefits of having it the product them am Game.
A good example is my article on MyThemeShop
4. Product Comparison Blog Posts
This type of post is a money maker unless you're comparing products you won't get paid a commission for.
This involves finding two good products within your niche, Could be software, Web hosting or a WordPress Plugin. Compare the two together. State benefits and finally have the outgoing links to the two product with your outgoing links.
A good example have found lately is Enstine's comparison of GetResponse & Aweber. Two email marketing software providers. I loved it and i think i should be the first to leave a comment on it.
So that's simply it. Find two great products >> Sign up for each affiliate programs >> Highlight the benefits as well as the Cons of each product >> Add affiliate links to each product and you're good to go.
5. Product Guides
What about writing product guides? You could chose to write your own guide to using a product.
Again it could be a product, A software, a Plugin or just anything. Originally these developers add documentation to their products but some of these guides may not be as explanatory as you can make them be.
For examples when i signed up to using GetResponse i was a total newbie when it comes to setting things up but then i looked up for a guide and found Reginald's guide to setting up Getrsponse email marketing. I understood everything. Since i already got what i want i just shared the article on twitter as it was helpful so i didn't bother snooping around looking for a link to GetResponse on his blog.
You could write a guide on a service you know about very well, Not just a guide but an explanatory and Easy to get one!
Remember the first point of this article.
6. List Blog Posts
List posts can be very interesting, Top online business man and influencer once said and i quote;
Lists are easy to read. The format naturally breaks up the content into sections giving it structure. It's also easy for visitors to skip ahead to points they really care about on the topic being covered. – Neil Patel
Listing a bundle of RELEVANT products ONLY with outgoing affiliate links can make you tons of money. Found this excellent example on Hootsuite blog. 10 essential social media tools for social media managers.
It highlights some really useful tools for social media marketing. You could pile up a list of your own too and place affiliate links in some of them.
It's as easy as that and again! Yours don't have to be about social media it could be a list of some specific and most useful products in your Niche.
To be honest all types of blog post can make you money if well formatted and presented. Blog posts are very powerful. But these 6 blog posts listed specially above are just money makers.
So to start making money off each single blog posts of yours, You need to start writing articles around these types.
Remember your ultimate goal should be the one listed first. Solving a problem and providing value. Again this should be your goal with each blog posts cause if you just bombard your blog post without affiliate links no one… I repeat no one is going to buy anything through your link.
So that should bring this blog post to an end today!
Be sure to share this blog post on your social media accounts 🙂
You could contribute to this article by leaving a comment below if you're adding something or not clear with a point per say.

Power status for Epping per last Senate Committee
Senator CONROY: My main point is that it is going. Last time we spoke, Mr Adcock noted that the Epping FTTN trial had been further delayed due to issues with getting power to the nodes. How is that progressing? Do you have power to the nodes in Epping?
Mr Adcock: We have power to one node, but it is inappropriate. That is why we are working with the power authority down there, SP AusNet, to come up with an unmetered power solution.
Senator CONROY: At this stage, you have no nodes that are in working order for yourself.
Mr Adcock: We have one node in Epping.
Senator CONROY: You said it was inappropriate.
Mr Adcock: We have no nodes that are currently accessible.
Senator CONROY: How long is the Epping trial delayed? When do you hope to have that completed?
Mr Adcock: On the process that is going through at the moment with the node that is still empowered, they are now doing throughput tests with an independent authority so they can get a very firm view of what the power consumption is and then strike an agreement for unmetered power.
Senator CONROY: So is it a week or a month?
Mr Adcock: Like you, I have been involved in negotiations with telecommunications companies and power companies. It will be as soon as possible.
Mr Morrow: To say anything more than that is a guess
Excuse my french, but holy shit.. how is the node trial going? Whats that? you have a single node powered? and that node was powered "inappropriately". This is going great.

By A. Sherrod Blakely
CSNNE.com Celtics Insider
Follow @sherrodbcsn
BOSTON The NFL and its players have come to terms on a new deal, just in time to avoid doing very little harm or damage to the league's image moving forward.
If only the NBA can be that lucky.
In the coming months, it's inevitable that comparisons will be made between the two leagues and the issues that ultimately led to work stoppages in both sports.
Don't be fooled.
The truth is, the NBA has it worse - a lot worse - than the NFL.
One league is making money (NFL) and was trying to figure out the best way to divvy up the dinero among all the outstretched hands.
And to think, it took them 137 days and they're making money, folks!
The NBA is trying to change the way money is distributed, with the goal being to set up a system that essentially guarantees profits.
"I'm dreaming" by Christopher Williams immediately comes to mind whenever I think of the owners and that pie-in-the-sky goal.
Meanwhile, the players would much rather see things stay as they are, which is understandable when the average NBA player makes north of 5 million a season.
Clearly the deal to be made is somewhere in between, but getting there won't be easy.
For the NBA to have a new collective bargaining agreement in place in the same amount of time it took the NFL, we'd be looking at rejoicing in the season to be on Nov. 14 which means even if they finished at the same rate as the NFL, games would be missed.
And with both sides nowhere close to reaching an agreement, it is setting the stage for what will likely be a very acrimonious, drawn out labor battle that in the end, is sure to do more harm than good to the league.
Forget about the name-calling and all that other nonsense that has gone on and will continue to in varying degrees as both sides draw out the lines for battle. Even as both sides steadily point the finger at the other for holding up a deal getting done, it won't matter.
Fans ultimately could care less about who is the blame.
The only thing fans know for sure now, is that everything they have seen, read and heard thus far indicates that the NBA won't start on time and that the potential for an entire season to be lost, is very real.
For Celtics Nation, this isn't as big a concern here as it is in some other small to mid-size markets.
Winners of 17 NBA titles - more than any NBA team - the Celtics have a strong global fan base.
Take the Oklahoma City Thunder.
While Oklahoma City isn't exactly the most exciting city on the NBA circuit, they have some of the best pro basketball fans that you'll find.
In a market so heavily entrenched in college football, the Thunder's fan base might look radically different - and a hell of a lot smaller - if an entire NBA season passes by without any games.
That's not good for business, for players, but maybe most important, for fans.
Without them, there would be no interest in the NBA, no need for shoe companies to fight over the next big this or that or for those ridiculous (faux) reality TV shows involving ex-spouses, girlfriends, whatever you want to call them, of former and current professional basketball players.
No one is diminishing the fact that getting a new collective bargaining agreement is no easy task for the NBA, even when the money was rolling in for players and owners alike. Yes, we'll talk about Basketball Related Income and guaranteed contract years and mid-level exceptions and salary caps, hard or soft.
It's all nice to know, but fans don't give a damn about that stuff.
When are the games coming back, and when can I get tickets? That's what they truly care about.
Unfortunately, the same can not be said for the players and owners.
While we all would love to see the NBA as just a game, the league is clearly more than that. It is a multi-billion industry that has made a lot of folks rich over time. But often overlooked at times like this when we talk about the league's growth, is the growth in its fan base.
One of the first owners to speak following the NFL and the league's players union striking an agreement, was Patriots owner Robert Kraft. Among his first comments was to apologize to the fans.
It was a classy move by Kraft to take note that while the deal certainly is one the owners and players feel good about, there was still a loser in all this - the fans - who had to endure months of uncertainty about a game they love to follow.
Fortunately for them, the games will go on and the NFL's image didn't get dinged up too bad in the process.
Will the NBA be that lucky?

Test animation by Cosmic-GrainWatch
©2012-2017 Cosmic-Grain
This is just a test animation of a magnemite with a simple background... I downloaded the free trial of adobe flash a few days ago and I'm a noob at it still so this is really simple Its not too good but its just a test!
This looks pretty neat. Like the fluid animation.
What do you mean it's not good??? This is awesome! Especially for your first animation!
Well it's a generic few second loop, and nothing complex. And magnemites are a pretty easy subject to animate I feel. I'm glad you like it though, means a lot. (Kinda makes me wish I still had Flash...)
better than i could do.
Still need to get there, ah got a lifetime to do so, time and place for all, not the major race
Yeah I know, I did this without a ton of knowledge of flash. I never really got to get into it
woah, great job.
test animation its test animation but still good animation!
why not? i saw that you said you gave up on making it, but you can always pick it back up! heck i plan on starting it at some point.... you know like when im not busy being lazy....
I really would like to, but, I only had the free trial of flash, and I really can't afford to buy it right now. :\ And you totally should, just get the trial to try it out! I warn you, at first it seems pretty tricky, but after a couple of days of reading and watching tutorials and just practicing, you'll get the hang of it. this little animation was the result of a couple days of practice.
not bad for a noob.
if you want you should take a look at Zachary Rich youtube, very interesting flash training videos
if you want you should take a look at Zachary Rich youtube, very interesting flash training videos

Learning To Say Yes 17 June, 2016
It was a Thursday morning when I got the email asking me to pray about leading a different trip. There was a need for an extra leader and one of the Albania leaders needed to switch.
It was a Thursday morning when I got the email asking me to pray about leading a different trip. There was a need for an extra leader and one of the Albania leaders needed to switch.
In February of 2014, my team and I first landed in Albania after five months in Asia. And everything was different. The people, the food, the language, none of it was like the familiar things I had grown accustomed too while living in Asia for so long.
Let me be honest, 2015 was tough. So I was more than happy to ring in the new year, full of hope for better things to come.
One of my dear friends Allison lives in California and I have been wanting to visit her for a while. Since I had some time off around Christmas, I decided to spend New Years with her. Allison planned a trip to San Francisco for us since it had been a while since she had been to the city, and I am so glad she did.
It started in China. I was on a city bus with my team, early in the morning, on the way to the train station to travel back to Beijing. It was chilly outside so I had on my jacket and a long sleeved shirt and I had my too heavy pack strapped on my body. I was standing on the bus when I started to feel desperately warm.
The past two and a half weeks have been the most incredible and challenging weeks I have had in a long time. I went from being empty and broken to filled and healed. I traveled to beautiful Guatemala with twenty-two high school students and two co-leaders. I spent days listening and loving the students as they experienced missions for the first time. I spent hours and hours in the hospital crying and praying over a very ill student.
I am preparing once again to pull out my passport and travel to a new country. Packing has not always been my favorite activity, but after traveling the world for 11 months and packing and re-packing my backpack over and over, I have picked up a few tricks. (more…)
It is sometimes difficult for me to call myself a world traveler. Yes I have traveled to seventeen countries in my young life, but considering all the places in the world I have yet to see, I have a few more trips to make.

If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know I took a trip to South East Asia earlier this year. You can see my posts and recipes from Thailand here, here, and here. I also went to Cambodia on that trip; here are some pictures and thoughts from Cambodia..
Bayon temple in Angkor Thom
Angkor Wat, Cambodia's major tourist attraction is a spectacular, 800 year old temple complex. The scale and beauty of the Angkor temples are awe inspiring. But at the same time, they were nothing new to me – I grew up in India with ancient temples all around me. What really intrigued me was the fact that these Hindu temple complexes exist so far away from India.
Ta Prohm temple, where Tomb Raider movie was shot
"If Angkor Wat, the Bayon and other temples are testimony to the genius of the ancient Khmers, Ta Prohm reminds us equally of the awesome fecundity and power of the jungle. There is a poetic cycle in this venerable ruin, with humans first conquering nature to rapidly create, and nature once again conquering humans to slowly destroy" – Lonely Planet Cambodia
Faces of Cambodia
The children of Cambodia, whether they are novice monks, beggars on the streets or school kids on vacation, are the most beautiful I have ever seen.
Bright orange clad monks were everywhere – a striking visual juxtaposition to the monochrome, stone temples.
Just as the sun was setting, and the throngs of tourists were leaving Angkor, I saw this beautiful, graceful young monk emerge from the stone facade to catch a glimpse of the setting sun. I chatted him and his friend up, and offered some candy; they were then more than happy to pose for me
This girl, along with her little brother were begging in the hot sun. She was hauntingly beautiful. I asked my tour guide to tell her she was pretty. But he hesitated. Perhaps, he did not want to complement a beggar girl? I then asked him what the khmer word for beautiful was and repeated it to her.
These kids were playing in the water to cool off. This used to be the Queen's pond when Angkor was inhabited.
Vegetarian Food in Cambodia
I had no trouble finding meatless food in Cambodia. (Some of the dishes I ate probably had fish sauce in them, but I was ok with that). I had breakfast at the hotel, which was a huge continental spread. Lunch was near the tourist attractions and the waiter perfectly understood 'no meat'. Dinner was in downtown Siem Reap where there are a handful of vegetarian restaurants.
A bas relief in Agkor showing people placing skewered meat over a fire – barbeque..800 years ago!
Right to left – a) Veggie noodles and green tea for lunch near Angkor Wat. After my food came I realized it was instant noodles, ugh! b) Dinner at Chamkar vegetarian restaurant in Siem Reap; Cambodian sour soup with pumpkin and greens served with rice. c) Dessert – lentil and banana pudding
If you go to Siem Reap, Chamkar restaurant in old market, is great. Chamkar is a vegetarian/vegan restaurant, serving Cambodian food. Its on a busy, but beautiful street, service is good and prices are low. My soup was light, and rustic. I wasnt crazy about the lentil-banana dessert though.
Pardon the ugly food pictures, it was the end of a very hot and tiring day so I decided to abandon my (heavy) camera at the hotel before heading for dinner. The second and third pictures were taken with my cell phone camera.

SHE'S used to stealing the spotlight, but Beyonce was happy to share the stage with an adorable toddler during a performance in London over the weekend.
The superstar invited a little girl from the crowd to join her as she sang her hit Irreplaceable at the O2 Arena on Saturday night.
The youngster was originally thought to be her 15-month-old daughter Blue Ivy, but a rep for Beyonce has since confirmed it was not the already-famous tot.
The brave little concert-goer was wearing protective headphones and held hands with Bey as she performed to a crowd of 20,000.
The maternal display comes as the 31-year-old revealed in a recent interview that she is ready to expand her brood.
"I would like more children," the mother-of-one revealed in an interview with ABC News in London.
"I think my daughter needs some company. I definitely love being big sister [to Solange]."
Knowles also discussed the shifting priorities in her life since becoming a mother.
She is currently juggling parenthood with touring commitments along with promoting her new role in animated fantasy drama film Epic.
"I am very protective," she said of her relationship with Blue Ivy.
"I just want to make sure that she can have a healthy, safe, normal life. In the back of my mind, she's my priority.
"And life is completely different now. So I feel really, really just lucky that I can still do what I love, and now have a way bigger meaning. And that's to be her mother."
The singer and her rapper husband Jay-Z welcomed Blue Ivy last January.

The server also includes Bindows, a "zero-footprint" Rich Internet WEB 2.0 Application framework. Database and AJAX powered WEB 2.0 applications such as the included forum can easily be developed using the BarracudaDrive web server.
The integrated scripting language Lua Server Pages (LSP) is similar to how ASP and PHP works. BarracudaDrive LSP applications are deployed as standard ZIP files. The ZIP files, which are in the "applications" sub directory are loaded and mounted as read only file systems by the web server. The server can also load "non deployed" applications. The "non deployed" Lua Server Pages (LSP) are compiled on demand just like PHP and ASP pages are compiled.

NumbersUSA Immigration Watchdogs Give De Facto Endorsement To Utah U.S. Senate Candidate Cherilyn Eagar, Proclaim Her A "True Reformer"
The sputtering campaign of Cherilyn Eagar to replace Bob Bennett in the U.S. Senate received a significant boost on April 29th, 2010 when NumbersUSA gave her a de facto endorsement, pronouncing her a "True Reformer". Media story HERE.
NumbersUSA takes a hard line against illegal immigration, believing in a mix of enforcement through attrition, sanctions against employers who knowingly hire illegals, and the elimination of any benefits for illegals such as in-state college tuition rate for their kids. NumbersUSA takes no issue with legal immigration, and so they've escaped the wrath of the Southern Poverty Law Center, which has been unleashed upon ALIPAC and FAIR. The SPLC has designated both ALIPAC and FAIR as "hate" groups, although ALIPAC has taken affirmative measures to distance itself from the White Nationalist community, so convincingly in fact that it led me to question whether or not ALIPAC boss William Gheen might be a false-flag operative.
This doesn't mean that Mike Lee and Tim Bridgewater are "wusses" on immigration; both have clearly established their desire to repatriate illegal immigrants and protect our borders. But NumbersUSA believes, based on the three candidates' responses to their survey, that Cherilyn Eagar BOTH talks the talk AND walks the walk. View the NumbersUSA comparative survey results HERE; Eagar grades out best on the following immigration issues:
-- Attrition Through Enforcement
-- Border Security
-- Defund Sanctuary Cities
-- End Birthright Citizenship
-- End Chain Migration
-- End Visa Lotteries
-- Fund Entry/Exit System
-- Oppose Amnesty
-- Reduce Total Immigration
-- Stop Worker Visas
-- Support E-Verify
In contrast, Mike Lee and Tim Bridgewater responded more equivocally and uncertainly. Remember, if the trumpet giveth an uncertain sound, who shall join the battle?
Whether NumbersUSA's endorsement comes in time to revive Cherilyn Eagar's flagging campaign and propel her to at least a primary slot in the May 8th Republican convention remains to be seen. Lee and Bridgewater have momentum and polls on their side; a series of recent delegate polls discussed HERE and HERE show Lee and Bridgewater to be right in the thick of the battle, with Eagar lagging in fourth place. But there are enough undecided delegates that this NumbersUSA endorsement could make it a four-way once again.
One other cause for renewed optimism about Cherilyn Eagar's campaign: A just-released Dan Jones poll shows 65 percent of respondents favor an Arizona-style immigration law for Utah in one form or another. Since Eagar now has been identified by a national lobby as strongest on immigration, she's likely to benefit.

There are 4 candidates that seem to have a chance of winning the GOP nominee for US Senate. Mike Lee, Cherilyn Eagar, Tim Bridgewater and Bob Bennett.
As the pollsters learned 2 years ago when Jason Chaffetz won, trying to guess what will happen at convention is pretty tough.
We do have two county delegate polls taken at Weber and Utah GOP County Conventions. Both had Cherilyn Eagar taking 2nd place over Bob Bennett and Tim Bridgewater. These two counties represent over 27% of the state delegates.
[A recent 3rd county straw poll, with 1/2 of 1 percent of the state delegates, Bennett did edge out Eagar)
With a 3 round ballot system, any of those that make it through the 1st round could win, even if they don't get 1st place for round 1.
I believe that Cherilyn Eagar is the only one running who has supported and been active in fighting for conservative values for the last 30 years at the local, state, national and international level.

It's about time someone recognized the only person in this race that has actually done what they said they would do and can show a true track record.
NumbersUSA is a solid Conservative group unlike those other Progressive groups endorsing Lee and Bridgewater.

You can recycle:

Now you can borrow our new Business Environment Kit, which contains equipment and instructions to help you find ways of saving energy and water around your office, shop, kitchen, restaurant or café.
The kit contains :
The kit is also available to households and schools.
To book the kit, please call our Environment unit on 9243 8888 or place a request by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com

For more information call Council on 9243 8888.
There are a number of programs and resources that can help your business to actively reduce its negative impact on the environment.
Believe it or not, it is possible to save the environment without spending a cent. This year, why not try some of the following handy hints:
Make sure lights are turned off when not in use. Put up signs on all exit doors reminding staff to switch off lights before leaving. This is the easiest thing you can do to save money, you can email our Environment and Economic Development unit for stickers to help staff remember to flick the switch.
Air conditioning is a wonderful thing on a hot summer day and customers love to walk into a nice cool store. However, if you leave your doors wide open while your air conditioner is on, you are making it work much harder and it will cost you much more money. This is especially the case with reverse cycle, split system and refrigerated systems. Close the door and place an inviting sign at the front like, "come in, it's cool".
After work each day, make sure you turn off your electrical appliances and office equipment (microwaves, televisions, computers, photocopiers). If you haven't turned them off at the power switch then they are costing you money to run. For example, turning a computer off each night and on weekends could save you $80 per year when compared to leaving it on 24/7.
If you print on both sides of paper, then you only need to buy half as much. Ask your customers to join email mailing lists instead of sending out hard copy newsletter. Use the back of scrap paper instead of buying notepads. Share stationary between staff. Encourage customers to bring their own bags.

It is, however, the lower end of the Newbury Street, which hosts a concentration of upscale and trendy boutiques, national, international and individual designers, retailers, shops and luxury goods stores including reputed brand names like Valentino, Chanel, Marc Jacobs and Ralph Lauren, Brooks Brothers, Armani, Ted Baker, Valentino, Ben Sherman, Burberry, Loro Piana, Cartier, Donna Karan and Kate Spade, to mention only a few.

Epilogue: Coda
You can make
me feel...
Elizabeth put her paintbrush down and admired the finished work. She didn't always love what she produced but this was special. It had taken her nearly a month to capture the moment. She kept at it because she wanted this painting to hang in their home, a permanent reminder of their happiness.
Jason entered the breakfast nook turned studio and stared at the canvas. He thought it might be a planet but hadn't asked. He enjoyed her total absorption as it gave him lots of time for his own obsession. She painted. He watched. When she put the brushes away, he pounced. They were both happy.
"It's finished. Take a guess," she encouraged.
He scratched his cheek as he studied it. "It's round."
"Yes, it is. But what do you think it is?" she prodded.
"You know I'm no good at this."
Elizabeth grinned. "I know. It's pretty much the only thing you don't do perfectly."
He rolled his eyes. "Is it a beach ball?"
She choked back laughter. "Really? That's your best guess?"
He shrugged. "Yep."
She motioned him to come closer. "Okay, the background is tan, like it's been out in the sun. Maybe on a bike or outside a coffee warehouse. Then there's all the blue. And see the little bits of white? That's the sparkle, like joy bursting forth. That black in the center? That's a window but it's sorta shaded. Not everyone can see inside but I do. I look through it and I see love and desire and acceptance. I see all my dreams and every single one is coming true."
He saw it and understood. "It's my eye."
She leaned up against his chest and wiggled her left hand. The diamond ring threw prisms of color in the sunlight. "It's the moment you put this on my finger. The happiest moment of my life. I love you."
"I love you," he said as he kissed her. "Elizabeth, being without you nearly killed me. I'm going to spend the rest of my life making you happy."
"It nearly killed us both. Never again," she vowed as her hands slid under his t-shirt. "You're mine, Jason Morgan, and I'm never letting go."
"I don't plan on giving you a reason, Elizabeth Webber," he promised as he helped her lift the shirt over his head. "In fact, I think we should work at not letting go right now."
Elizabeth ran her hand down his bare chest. "I love the way you think."
Jason lifted her and she wrapped her legs around his waist. She ran her tongue down his neck as he carried her upstairs. The painting was going to hang over their bed, he decided, but first he had other plans for that particular piece of furniture.
-the end-

Kontron recently launched three fanless single board computers. The new SBCs feature 600 MHz Intel® Pentium® M processor, 512KB L2 cache, and 852GM chipset. This trio is based on the PC/104-plus, EPIC, and JRex form factors and meets the needs of any small embedded application that requires mid-level performance with the lowest power consumption. These new PC/104, EPIC and JRex designs are particularly attractive for embedded applications. The boards offer higher processing speed without higher power consumption.
Depending on the requirements of their application, OEMs can chose between the three form factors. The 90mm x 96mm Kontron MOPS-PM PC/104-plus design is ideal for the most space-saving PCI and ISA designs. The Kontron EPIC/PM is the best choice for PCI and ISA applications requiring external standard PC interfaces soldered onto the CPU board. In addition, the Kontron EPIC-PM features a single power supply solution for ATX and 5V by an enclosed adapter. Applications that rely on JFLEX-based expansions are ideal for the Kontron JRex/PM. The Kontron JRex/PM 3.5-inch single board computer is similar to EPIC with standard PC interfaces on the baseboard and is purely PCI-based. The JRex uses only SMT components, making it an even more cost-saving design – compared to press-fit.
Equipped with the Intel® 852GM GMCH and Intel® ICH-4 southbridge, the three new single board computer variants deliver an optimized integrated graphics solution with an energy-efficient 400 MHz system bus and integrated 133 MHz 32-bit 3D core. All three boards support up to 1GB of DDR 333 system memory.
More info: Kontron
