I'm on a road trip -- here are the tech products I brought
Throughout the year, I work pretty darn hard -- I wear multiple hats. Because of this, I decided to spend the holidays in sunny Florida as a working vacation. Sadly, the airfare was a bit too expensive, so I decided to drive there from New York.
Unfortunately, the place at which I am staying does not have WiFi or Television -- a nerd's worst nightmare. As a tech-writer, I was going to have to think smart about which devices I would bring and which would stay home. You may be surprised by my choices.
Google-HP Chromebook 11 first-impressions review
Many people reading this review tangle up in features. They have a spec-sheet mindset that obscures seeing some products' benefits. Google gets the difference, and you should too. The paper holder that wraps around a Starbucks coffee cup is a feature. Protecting your hand from burning is a benefit. While related, the two are distinct. Any evaluation of Chromebook -- or any other thing to be purchased -- should focus on benefits first. Specs are a distraction.
In offering my first impressions about HP Chromebook 11, I step back from features and focus on benefits and who gets the most from them. Based on the out-of-the-box experience, for most people reading this review, I would not recommend the computer, which Google co-designed, over Intel Haswell-based Chromebooks. However, keeping with suspicions expressed yesterday, the tiny Chromebook would be right for students. Design, size, portability, functionality and value for price offer the right mix of benefits for preschool-to-grade 12 students. HP Chromebook 11 is what white MacBook was to kids last decade.
Chromebook passes back-to-school sales test Windows and Macs fail
Google's self-promoting Chromebook educational sales is more than public relations fluff. Laptops running Chrome OS provided "all the growth" in the otherwise troubled U.S. retail PC market during back-to-school buying season, according to NPD. Otherwise, overall PC sales fell 2.5 percent, with desktops down 5 percent and notebooks off by 2 percent. Mac laptop sales sank 3 percent and Windows notebooks by 6 percent. Chromebook sales topped 175,000 units.
"Chromebook sales are being helped by demand for low-cost computing", Stephen Baker, NPD's vice president of industry analysis, tells me today. "We saw strong sales in under-$300 Windows products as well". But Windows is established, while Chromebook is new and necessitates a mind-shift reset: Mostly working in an Internet-connected web browser.
Chromebook goes Haswell
Today, at the Intel Developer Forum, Google and OEM partners unveiled plans to release new Chromebooks using Haswell chips. That means long battery life, on the order of MacBook Air, for a fraction of the price. Six top OEMs will produce Chromebooks, which isn't the best news for Microsoft and Windows 8.1. ASUS and Toshiba join Acer, HP, Lenovo and Samsung.
"Intel's latest processors consume less power to improve battery life by more than 2X over previous generations, while offering increased performance", Caesar Sengupta, Google's Chromebook product manager, claims. "This means these new Chromebooks can last all day so you can focus on getting things done".
Why I love Chromebook Pixel
Seventh in a series. When I reported the original iPhone launch in June 2007, there was sense of history among the people waiting to buy. Several shared similar sentiment: That we would all look back in five or 10 years and see the mobile as a defining moment in computing. They were absolutely right. I feel similarly about Chromebook Pixel, not that as many people appreciate what it represents compared to the larger number of folks rushing to purchase Apple's smartphone.
Google's computer is an acquired taste, and so delish you don't easily go back. But there's a Vegemite quality. Most people wouldn't eat the spread, but ask those who do -- they can't live without it. Likewise, Chromebook Pixel isn't for everyone, but is for me and possibly could be for you, if given a chance.
Chromebook Pixel LTE arrives today
Yesterday, Google posted a public notice that "folks who ordered the Chromebook Pixel LTE from Google Play will start receiving them as early as Friday, April 12th". If that's you, I'd like to hear about it.
Jay Munsterman got his LTE model a day early and "it is sweet! For anyone else that prefers a Dvorak or non-qwerty keyboard: the keys pry off and reattach easily. And if you have both an ARM Chromebook and a Pixel you do end up with 1.1TB of Drive space". So much for today then. The Pixel comes with 1TB free Google Drive storage for three years.
Is using Chrome OS like going to prison?
Now that's a question I never expected to ask on Easter morning. But instead of waking up to egg hunts, I'm haunted by Brian Fagioli's Google+ Chromebook Community post overnight. He stirs up the hornets nest today.
"Using Chrome OS is a lot like prisoners in jail making alcohol in the toilet", he writes. "Even when you are limited, you will find a way. While it is fun to find a way to do things despite the limitations of Chrome OS, the question remains: why do we choose to put ourselves in jail?"
Google Chromebook goes international
Early this morning, Google announced a massive expansion of Chromebook distribution, including new countries and more Best Buys in the United States.
"Starting Tuesday, the Acer, HP and Samsung Chromebooks will begin rolling out in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland and the Netherlands", Caesar Sengupta, Google product management director, says. "To help improve computing for organizations, we're rolling out Chromebooks to businesses and schools in these same countries as well".
What I really think about Google Chromebook Pixel
Second in a series. Fourteen days using Google's first computer, my decision is made: I would buy one and will someday (taxes are brutal, so my options are limited short-term). I firmly believe that most buyers willing to spend $1,299 (32GB WiFi) or $1,449 (64GB 4G LTE) will be satisfied with Chromebook Pixel. That's because I presume they wouldn't dole out that much without really examining how the computer would fit their lifestyle; also, Google seeks the same people coming from Windows who might buy MacBook Pro 13-inch.
Seven days ago, in my first-impressions review, I looked at the overall experience and price benefits from the perspective of hardware. Here, I start to answer larger question: Can Pixel be your main and only machine? For most people, the answer is an unequivocal "No". But "most people" isn't Google's target market.
What Google Play's first birthday means to you
One year ago, March 6, 2012, Google renamed Android Market, and nothing is the same sense. The rebranded Google Play pushed forward a transition started in November 2011, with the broad expansion of content beyond apps. The name change also represented something bigger, shift in emphasis away from broader Android to the search giant's siloed services and brands. Google sought to imitate Apple while tackling wild Amazon.
On Play's first birthday, Google Android -- not the skinned software Amazon, HTC, LG, Samsung and others ship -- is a 98-pound weakling gone super steroids. The Mountain View, Calif.-based company sells apps, ebooks, gift cards, magazines, music, movies, TV shows and devices through the online store. There were no devices available a year ago, but now accessories, Chromebooks, smartphones and tablets. Three different computers are available, including the new and Google-branded Chromebook Pixel. Also: Two different Nexus 4 smartphones and Nexus 10 tablets and three Nexus 7 slates -- four if counting 32GB HSPA+ models twice, with different cellular SIMs.
Is Chromebook Pixel worth spending $1,299? [first-impressions review]
First in a series. Chromebook Pixel is an enigma. A misfit. Some critics call it a miscalculation -- that Google created a pretty kit that offers too little value for the high price. For sure, $1,299, or $1,449 for the model with LTE, is more than most people pay. According to NPD, the average selling price of laptops at US retail was $640 in January.
But some people do pay more. Apple laptops start at $999 and, according to NPD, the ASP was $1,419 last month. Unquestionably, I see Chromebook Pixel as priced against Macs, and after using Google's laptop see it targeted at the same professionals who value Apple notebooks. The question any potential buyer should ask: Is Pixel worth spending as much as Google asks? I will answer that question in several parts -- this initial review is first.
500px foreshadows Chromebook Pixel's future
Today, 500px launched a new Chrome web app that, while available for browsers running on OS X or Windows, brings something extra to Chrome OS: Touch natively-supported and optimized for Chromebook Pixel. Take a look, because this little ditty is the computer's future and hints at what Google means by the "For what's next" marketing tagline.
Chromebook Pixel is Google's pricey -- $1,299 or $1,449 laptop running Chrome OS. Pixel's naysayers -- and, whoa, there are many -- gripe about a high-priced browser PC that is useless offline and for which there are no real programs. But that's not so. Developers can, as Google has done, create "packaged" web apps that can run when disconnected from the Internet. The 500px Chrome app is one of them. Then there is the functionality fine-tuned to Chrome Pixel's magnificent 2560 x 1700 resolution touchscreen. If you can understand 500px, you might grok Google's plans for making the Chrome OS flagship truly competitive with Mac notebooks.
Whoa, you really don't want Google Chromebook Pixel
On February 21, Google started selling its first computer, Chromebook Pixel, which I called a "status symbol" over the weekend. In typical fashion I asked "Will you buy Google Chromebook Pixel?" There surely is a market for the laptop somewhere, but not among the respondents to our poll.
Seventy-seven percent of you answer "No". That's among the highest percentage ever to one of my polls. If there's Chromebook Pixel enthusiasm, it surely isn't from BetaNews readers. Just 8 percent of respondents will buy the Chrome OS laptop "as soon as available in my country". Only 16.5 percent plan to buy Chromebook Pixel ever. So has Google got a flop? No way, Jose.
Chromebook Pixel is a status symbol
Google's first computer isn't about sales but status. Critics who lambast Chromebook Pixel as an over-priced web browser wrapped in pretty hardware miss the point. Badly. The laptop will sell, but not in mass-volume because it's not meant to. Is Lamborghini about sales or style? I ask not seeing much commentary about how the Italian sports car is a failure because Ford sells millions more Explorers.
Chromebook Pixel is the luxury car of computers running Chrome OS and perpetually connected to the cloud. Google's beauty is a status symbol for people willing to plunk down $1,299 or $1,449 and makes, along with newer Nexus devices, a bold brand statement: Google is a premium brand and the company a real innovator. For the people who love the brand and want to identify with it, like all those fanboys adoring Apple with their cash, Chromebook Pixel is an easy sell.
Will you buy Google Chromebook Pixel?
That sound you just heard was Google slapping Apple across the face. Today the search and information giant unveiled and starting selling high-end portable Chromebook Pixel. By just about every measure, Google guns for Apple in its dominant market -- premium PCs, or those selling for $1,000 or more. When rumors circulated about the computer, I opined: "Chromebook Pixel looks like MacBook Pro to me". The impression is stronger now that the real deal is here -- from form factor to price, either $1,299 or $1,449.
Should Apple sweat about Chromebook Pixel? I would. Following a years-long retail trend, Apple share of PCs selling for $1,000 or more was over 90 percent in 2012, according to NPD. Stephen Baker, NPD's vice president of industry analysis, asks if Google is "more trying to compete with Apple and high-end windows machines for premium consumer and maybe corporate?" I answer: Yes. What I want to know: Will you buy Chromebook Pixel? But more importantly: Would you buy Chromebook Pixel instead of 13-inch MacBook Pro?

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — A regular-season rout can be a poor predictor of the postseason rematch.
Coach Bill Belichick has another chance to remind his New England Patriots of that less than a month after their 42-14 romp that shoved the Houston Texans into their late-season plunge.
The stakes will be much higher when the Texans return next Sunday to the field where they flopped. The winner of the divisional-round matchup goes to the AFC championship game.
''The game that we play now doesn't have much to do with the game we played before,'' Belichick said Sunday, one day after the Texans advanced with a 19-13 wild-card win over the Cincinnati Bengals
Two years ago, the Patriots beat the New York Jets 45-3 in the 12th game of the season. Just six weeks later, the Patriots had the NFL's best record but lost to the Jets 28-21 in a divisional game.
It's a history lesson Belichick is sure to review this week.
''I don't think it's anything that wasn't mentioned until that situation occurred, but it's an example we can point out,'' he said in a conference call during a break from preparing for the Texans. ''We talked about that many times before, how other games don't have anything to do with this game. It stands on its own.
''That is and always will be the case, but it's an example to point out of how little relevance the previous game with the same team really does have.''
The Texans had the league's top mark when the ball was kicked off to start their game at Gillette Stadium on Dec. 10. But less than six minutes into the second quarter, they trailed 28-0 after Tom Brady's fourth touchdown pass.
That gap grew to 42-7 midway through the fourth quarter, with Arian Foster's 1-yard run the only touchdown until backup quarterback T.J. Yates ran in from 1 yard with two minutes left.
That began a stretch of three losses in four games before the Texans did just enough to beat the Bengals.
The Patriots held Foster to 46 yards rushing, his fourth-lowest output in a season in which he averaged 89 yards per game.
The real Foster is more like the one who ran a season-high 32 times for 140 yards and the game's only offensive touchdown against the Bengals. That made him the first NFL player to rush for at least 100 yards in each of his first three playoff games.
''There's no question that he's the key guy for Houston and their offense, but his production also complements the other players as well and the other parts of the game,'' Belichick said. ''Yesterday I thought he made a decent amount of yardage breaking tackles and making the defender miss a tackle in the hole or that kind of thing.''
Starting tackle Derek Newton, tight end Garrett Graham and linebacker Brooks Reed played against the Bengals after missing the first game against the Patriots.
''We were pretty sure that Reed wasn't going to get in the game, but all the rest of them we prepared for,'' Belichick said, ''the ones that were able to play played and the others (who) didn't. It's kind of the same thing this time. They have a couple guys that are out, but they added a couple of new players as well so we have to be ready for all of them.''
One of the Patriots' most important players missed that opening meeting. But tight end Rob Gronkowski returned from a five-game absence after breaking his left forearm and had a touchdown catch in the 28-0 win over the Miami Dolphins in the regular-season finale.
Belichick expects many more changes than just the personnel.
''When you play a team twice during the season, the games are totally different. They never go the same way,'' he said. ''We'll be able to certainly look at some of the matchups individually, guys that faced each (other) in the game. As far as plays and calls and things like that matching up, I'm sure they'll have some new wrinkles. I'm sure we'll have some, too. It will be totally different.''
The coaching staff prepared last week for all three potential opponents.
But when Houston won on Saturday, Belichick and his staff didn't have to wait for the Baltimore Ravens to beat the Indianapolis Colts 24-9 on Sunday to determine the opponent.
The Texans were coming back.
''We spent a significant amount of time on them last week,'' Belichick said.
Now they have more to analyze from Saturday's victory.
''They had a couple pieces that were specific for Cincinnati, not revolutionary,'' he said. ''There are some good examples of things we can learn (from) that game, but, ultimately, our game, our matchups are different (from) theirs and will be different from the first game.''

Diesel Exhaust from Stanford Dirt Moving Project
Original post made by Wants Clean Air on Oct 15, 2012
My complaint is that the trucks were old and clearly dirty -- I'm surprised the air district doesn't require them to use less polluting newer trucks with particulate filters. This activity exposed us all to a significant amount of diesel particulate over the weekend.

I have several timelines in Encore, imported from a Premiere project. (I believe this is called Dynamic Link.)
Everything was working great, until I built a DVD image, and previewed it. Half the timelines were showing the wrong video! Back in Encore, when I double-click a timeline, it opens with the wrong video. As you can see in this screenshot, the name of the timeline (Andy) does not match the video in it (Dwaine). This happened on about half my timelines.
If I open the original project in Premiere, all the sequences are fine.
Edit: Not only the timelines are wrong, but the sequences themselves. When I click a sequence in Encore's project list, the thumbnail preview shows the wrong video.
As a test, get rid of some of the sequences in the new project (keeping at least one of the problem sequences) and build a set of DVD folders or a disc image. See if the new project suffers from the same problem.
Clean the media cache database from a different project (Edit>Preferences>Media).
Have you saved, renamed or overwritten existing files and used the same name for the file? Have you moved anything around on your hard drives? Do you have an external drive that may be getting assigned a different driver letter when you plug it in?
These are just guesses -- I don't remember hearing about this problem before.
I thought Jeff was onto something with the revert to original. But even with that scenario, something had to have changed. The only way I can get your screenshot is to change the name of the PR sequence in Encore. (You can change the name of the PR sequence and the timeline made from it in Encore. It does not, of course, change the content of the video.)
If in fact the videos are wrong, you can change the names, and change navigation as needed. I think I'd just start over.
Does anyone know how to transfer poster frame markers from one project to another?
Make a feature request for import/export of markers/poster frames via text files, like subtitles.
I think the answer is no.
I write the marker and poster frame times down, enter in the time indicator and hop around.

Location of this hotel is not the best. The rooms are spacious with a really good drench shower, small bath and comfy bed. They have a room safe, iron and board and tea making facilities. The breakfast was just average. The laundry is very expensive. There is dry cleaner near the hotel, but they are not so cheap. This is a really good hotel. All staff members are incredibly well trained, friendly, courteous and eager to help. We were very impressed with our friendly welcome on arrival.

We just came back from Bejing holiday. We have stayed nearly one week at the hotel. Service was pretty good and most of staffs were really good and helpful. But some of staffs English were poor. I like the room. faily big and nicely decorated.

Number of U.S. auto dealers rose in 2011-study
DETROIT, Feb 14 (Reuters) – The number of U.S. auto
dealerships rose in 2011 for the first time in 11 years, and the
per-dealership sales average is expected to set a record high in
2012, dealer consultant Urban Science said on Tuesday.
Chrysler Group LLC added the most dealerships, adding 135
dealerships for its parent Fiat SpA and 50 dealerships
selling the main Chrysler Group brands, Dodge, Jeep and
US auto union chief open to joining GM Opel board
, Feb 10 (Reuters) – United Auto Workers
President Bob King said on Friday he would join the board of
General Motors Co's money-losing Opel unit if asked by
its German union.
Sources previously told Reuters that German union IG Metall
will name King to the Opel board next month. The U.S. union
chief met with his Opel counterpart, Wolfgang Schaefer-Klug, in
Detroit on Monday.
Group 1 profit nearly doubles, beats Street
DETROIT, Feb 9 (Reuters) – Group 1 Automotive,
one of the largest U.S. retail auto dealer groups, said earnings
nearly doubled in the fourth quarter on higher sales of new
vehicles as well as savings from cost cuts that began during the
2008-2009 financial crisis.
The cost savings helped the company through last year's
inventory problems of Toyota Motor Corp and Honda Motor Co which
were caused by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan last March
and floods in Thailand last October.
Two Ford execs retiring, Mulally staying
Feb 9 (Reuters) – Two top Ford Motor Co
executives who helped steer the U.S. automaker through the
financial crisis will retire by April 1, thinning the ranks of
likely candidates to replace Chief Executive Alan Mulally in
coming years.
For his part, the 66-year-old Mulally said, "Our plan at
Ford is to have a very strong succession plan for every position
including my own," but that he had no plans to retire.
Two top Ford execs set to retire
Feb 9 (Reuters) – Two top Ford Motor Co
executives who helped steer the U.S. automaker through the
financial crisis will retire by April 1, thinning the ranks of
potential candidates who could replace Chief Executive Alan
Mulally in coming years.
Chief Financial Officer Lewis Booth, 63, will be replaced by
the company Vice President and Controller Bob Shanks, 59.
Derrick Kuzak, Ford's product development chief, will be
succeeded by Raj Nair, 47, now the head of engineering for
global product development.
Chrysler's "Halftime" ad: a roadmap for America?
LAS VEGAS (Reuters) – Is what is good for Chrysler good for America?
The auto maker courted controversy and won kudos for a two-minute Super Bowl advertisement that was less a car sales pitch than a political message in a presidential election year.
Rugged Hollywood icon Clint Eastwood proclaimed it was "Halftime in America" in the spot that did not mention a Chrysler car or truck but intoned that the automaker's successful turnaround could be used as an example for the United States as it struggles with high unemployment and a slow economic growth rate.
GM, Ford feud over Super Bowl ad
LAS VEGAS (Reuters) – A simmering feud between General Motors Co and Ford Motor Co heated up on Sunday as Ford objected to GM's Super Bowl advertisement for its Chevy Silverado pickup truck.
The ad, which will run on NBC's television broadcast of the Super Bowl on Sunday, depicts an apocalyptic scene in which Chevrolet Silverado pickup trucks and their owners escape death and make it to a pre-arranged meeting point.
True US autos recovery not here yet -Hyundai exec
LAS VEGAS, Feb 3 (Reuters) – The U.S. auto sector will
not recover significantly until U.S. home prices pick up and
consumers feel more prosperous, a top Hyundai Motor Co
executive said on Friday.
John Krafcik, head of Hyundai's North American operations,
said the recent U.S. auto industry sales figures showing
double-digit growth are misleading because much of the boost
came from less-profitable fleet customers.
Fiat-Chrysler makes bold forecasts for 2012
MILAN/DETROIT (Reuters) – Automaker Fiat-Chrysler (FIA.MI: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) set out lower but still ambitious targets for 2012, with newly profitable Chrysler Group forecasting an 18 percent jump in U.S. revenue to make up for depressed conditions in Europe.
Chrysler said on Wednesday it swung to a full-year net profit of $183 million in its second year managed by Italy's Fiat SpA, its first net profit since 1997 and a key milestone after it went bust in 2009 and was bailed out by U.S. and Canadian taxpayers.
Chrysler reports full-year profit on strong U.S. sales
DETROIT (Reuters) – U.S. automaker Chrysler Group LLC swung to a full-year net income of $183 million on Wednesday, and made the bold prediction that profit would be eight times higher in 2012, on strong sales in its main U.S. market.
In its second full year managed by Italy's Fiat SpA and its hard-charging chief executive Sergio Marchionne, Chrysler turned a net profit of $183 million, up from a loss of $652 million in 2010. The company set a target for about $1.5 billion in net profit in 2012.

why does that place cost so much
My DeviantArt Page
I know they cost more than the actual price of the CD, but they are on par with other shopping services. Also remember that when you place an order, someone has to drive to the parks, buy the items, return, pack and ship, etc. so the additional cost (I believe) is for their services and to offset the time and expense of doing same.

The Artisan Approach to Custom Homebuilding
By W.K. Bennis, Kyle Hunt Partners, Incorporated. Copyright 2003
To Download PDF of Article Click Here
When we build, let us think that we build forever. Let it not be for present delight nor present use alone.
Let it be such work that our descendants will thank us for, and let us think, as we lay stone on stone, that a time will come when those stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men will say, as they look upon the labor and wrought substance of them, "See! This our father did for us."
-- John Ruskin --
A "new" approach with centuries old roots
Examples of the art of architectural design, and the master craftsmen who executed it, reach back centuries in time, not only in terms of commercial architecture, but residential architecture as well. From as recently as the beginning of the 20th century, we can find many standing testaments of artisans coming together to create stunning homes, whether grand or quaint in stature. It is these homes that we still stop to admire. And many who own one of these old beauties recognize that their renovation and preservation can be a worthwhile and rewarding endeavor.
What makes these homes so special is their quality - in terms of architectural design, construction, and interior design. It is a quality that comes from the individual creativity of each of the professionals involved, shining through and combining to produce a symphony of detail and character that feels alive and fully reflects the owner's personality and style. The sometimes subtle, sometimes bold architectural details, the functionality of spaces, the unique use of stone or pattern of brick; the carved mantel, the shades of color, light and texture throughout each room. It is the coming together of artistic creativity, like the great artisan builders of our past, that makes the difference between ordinary and spectacular. It is the Artisan Approach.
What we build today will impact our landscapes for generations. Whether large or small, will they be homes of distinction that our children's children will be proud to own and preserve? Will future generations linger along the roadside, appreciate these homes' qualities - be they simple or majestic - and be thankful that those who came before took the time and care to create such enduring treasures?
The Artisan Approach is economically more attainable than one would think. In fact, we believe opportunities exist to extend this philosophy across the board - including
affordable housing
projects. With this vision as a backdrop, we can explore what the Artisan Approach looks like today.
The Artisan Approach today requires a team of artisan professionals
The architect, builder and interior designer that form the Artisan Approach team, are individuals and firms that are free to exercise their creativity to its fullest capacity. To ensure this kind of creative freedom, an appropriate 'balance of input', a collaborative approach to design and construction ideas, and respect for each other's roles must exist between these three professionals. To better understand what this balance of input looks like, let's compare two models that currently exist in the building industry.
Design/Build - The One Stop Shop
Builder employs in-house architects or design/draftspeople and,
in-house interior design services
Builder calls all the shots. Builder is free to exercise its influence and control over
architect and interior designer, driven by factors that may only be important to
the builder.
No 'checks and balances' or balance of input exists for the life of the entire project.
The Artisan Approach
Client is free to draw from a large pool of independent, creative talent
Builder often takes lead role to guide the process, but it is a collaborative
role with client's chosen design professionals
Team of true artisans uniquely tailored to clients style and budget — each
bringing value to the process with client's best interests and goals in mind.
Creates an appropriate balance of input to the project's and client's benefit.
Clearly, the one stop shop limits client's choices from the start and all along the way. Common sense is quick to point out that one or even a few in-house architects or interior designers cannot possibly have the breadth of talents, styles and personalities to fit the unique needs and personalities of every client that walks in the door. Why would anyone limit their choices and limit creative input, especially when it comes to something as important as building their own custom home? Especially considering that, for most, building a home is the single largest investment they will make in their lifetime. One stop shop proponents will argue that their approach can save time and money. So let's address that.
Economies of Scale come into play with any approach
Size, complexity of design, quality of construction materials, and finish level are the main factors driving the cost of any home. How each of these factors weigh into the overall budget equation can vary immensely from home to home. For instance, if a higher finish level is more important to you, perhaps the size and complexity of design can be more minimal to allow for additional allocation to finishes. Even with the quality of some construction materials, there are grades of good, better, best that are still all acceptable product. (That said, there are, of course, some materials that a good builder will not compromise on.) These are all elements a good design team will educate you about and help to guide your decision making, so it is not at all overwhelming for you, but becomes a natural part of the discussion during the design process. For the purposes of this paper, however, it is necessary for the sake of brevity to find a simpler reference point for our discussion of cost, so we will use three broad budget ranges:
- Approximately $1 million and up
- $400,000 to $800,000
- Under $400,000
We have found, for instance, that builders that work within similar budget tiers are highly competitive, regardless of their approach, contrary to what popular conceptions may be. Certainly the fees of a custom home builder in the $1 million and up range may be higher than the other two tiers, for example, but within each tier we would be surprised to find any wide swings. What you will want to do, then, is seek out Artisan Professionals that are within your budget scope. In this manner, you too can enjoy all the benefits of the Artisan Approach when building your home.
One example which is easy for us to point to, is Cottagewood Partners, the sister company of Kyle Hunt & Partners. Cottagewood Partners builds homes at the $400,000 to $800,000 level, and very successfully and competitively uses the Artisan Approach. With the extensive pool of architectural and interior design talent the Twin Cities has to offer, we are confident that the Artisan Approach can be successful for any project at any budget level.
One final point that is important to convey relative to our discussion of cost, is the manner in which the Artisan Approach professionals work together. Many assume that with three professional firms involved, there will be an overlap of time and effort that will unnecessarily drive up the cost of the project. To the contrary, Artisan Approach Professionals who are experienced with this approach are extremely sensitive to this concern. Overlapping of efforts is easily avoided by the team appointing one professional entity who is the
of the project, very often the builder, to ensure the effective communication and coordination of efforts between team members, including the client. The claim that there is duplication of effort with the Artisan Approach just doesn't hold water. You may also want to think in terms of this analogy: The one stop shop is more akin to having one doctor and two aides. With the Artisan Approach, you have three specialists, plus the full support of each of their offices behind them. It is easy to see where the greater value is for you and your project.
All of this is not to say that the Artisan Approach will be your least expensive alternative. Chances are it won't be. However, it is competitively costed, and the short and long term benefits are immeasurable. The investment you make in your custom home is deserving of the kind of professional care, creative talent and good planning the Artisan Approach can deliver.
A truly custom, signature home, regardless of size, takes time to properly design
The design/development phase of the entire construction process is one of the most critical. If the design isn't right, actual construction of the home can be frustrated, creating time delays and often increased costs. Even more importantly, you could be disappointed with the end result. Perhaps you will find yourself wishing you really would have had a larger closet here, didn't really need a formal dining room after all and could have done something more practical to your daily life with that space, or wish you had that mail center/desk area in the kitchen like you first thought. Shortchanging the design process is not worth it! The forethought and care that is necessary in considering each and every detail of your home cannot be emphasized enough. Here is where having a collaborative team of Artisan Professionals, each contributing valuable insights and expertise, makes all the difference.
When gauging the time that a construction project takes, economies of scale very obviously come into play again. A larger home will take longer than a smaller home to design, build and decorate. Although timing design phase can vary based on a number of different factors, as a reference point, for a $1.5 million home Kyle Hunt & Partners builds, we typically will allow a minimum of four months for the design phase. Not to say that it's always the case, but let's just assume for argument's sake, that the entire process from start to finish using the Artisan Approach takes 2 - 3 months longer than a one stop shop. Is that 2 - 3 months of time well spent to have an Artisan Approach home that you will delight in every day for years to come, and that future generations will cherish? In making the decision of whether to build an Artisan Approach home, this perspective is important to keep in mind.
When all is said and done....
The person who will embrace the Artisan Approach to Custom Homebuilding is someone that looks at their home as an extension and reflection of their own personality and character, and appreciates the significance of leaving a beautiful mark on the architectural landscape. This 'mark' comes in many different forms - colonial, contemporary, bungalow, shingle style, etc. But what each Artisan Approach home does have in common, regardless of size and style, is the kind of quality and appeal that only a creatively free process within the context of balanced input can accomplish.
We hope you found this paper to be informative. If you are considering building an Artisan Approach home, we invite you to contact Kyle Hunt & Partners.
Thank you.

Sci. STKE, 9 December 2003 EDITORS' CHOICEDEVELOPMENT Reactive Oxygen Species in Development and AgingAs human society gets older, there is great interest in understanding the molecular mechanisms of aging. One agent that has been linked to aging is reactive oxygen species (ROSs). Shibata et al. now show that ROSs also function in the normal development of the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans. A specific role was observed both in germline development that involved lipoprotein oxidation and in vulval development that involved activation of the small guanosine triphosphatase protein, Ras. This in vivo model will be useful in studies of ROS signaling, and it provides a system to explore the biology of lipoproteins that are important in the development of atherosclerosis. Y. Shibata, R.

Founder and CEO of Teach for America Sometimes you have to descend into the true depths of depression before inspiration strikes. When I was a senior in college, I descended into an incredible funk. I didn't know what I wanted to do after I graduated. Then one day it hit me: I wanted to teach in low-income communities. I knew I wasn't alone in this desire. So I set out to create a national teaching corps. The minute I thought of it, I became obsessed with the idea. I knew this was it. Who are you striving to be? Take the quiz |

Medicare Advantage:
2011 Profits Similar to Projections for Most Plans, but Higher for Plans with Specific Eligibility Requirements
GAO-14-148: Published: Dec 19, 2013. Publicly Released: Jan 22, 2014.

What GAO Found
Medicare Advantage (MA) organizations' actual medical expenses, nonmedical expenses (such as marketing, sales, and administration) and profits as a percentage of total revenue were, on average, similar to projected values for plans available to all beneficiaries in 2011, the most recent year for which data were available at the time of the request for this work. MA organizations' actual medical expenses, nonmedical expenses, and profits were 86.3 percent, 9.1 percent, and 4.5 percent of total revenue, respectively. As a percentage of revenue, all three categories were within 0.3 percentage points of what MA organizations had projected. In addition, MA organizations received, on average, $9,893 in total revenue per beneficiary, slightly higher than the projected amount of $9,635.
The percentage of revenue spent on medical expenses and profits varied between MA contracts. For example, while MA organizations spent an average of 86.3 percent of revenue on medical expenses, 39 percent of beneficiaries were covered under contracts where less than 85 percent of revenue was spent on medical expenses. In addition, the accuracy of MA organizations' projections varied on the basis of the type of plans offered under the contract. For example, contracts for private fee-for-service plans--a plan type with new provider network requirements in 2011--had average profit margins that were 4 percentage points lower than projected.
In 2011, plans offered by MA organizations with specific eligibility requirements had higher-than-projected profits. Special needs plans (SNP), which serve specific populations, such as those with specific chronic conditions, had an 8.6 percent profit margin, but had projected 6.2 percent. This higher percentage, combined with higher-than-projected revenue, resulted in SNPs reporting an average profit per beneficiary of $1,115, or 44 percent higher than projected ($777). Employer group plans, which are offered by employers or unions to their employees or retirees, as well as to Medicare-eligible spouses and dependants of participants in such plans, had a 7.6 percent profit margin, but had projected 4.2 percent. The higher profit margin, combined with higher-than-projected revenue, resulted in employer plans receiving an average profit per beneficiary of $861, or 108 percent higher than projected ($413).
GAO requested comments from CMS, but none were provided.
Why GAO Did This Study
MA organizations are entities that contract with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to offer one or more private plans as an alternative to the Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) program. These MA plans are generally available to all Medicare beneficiaries, although certain types of plans, such as employer group plans, have specific eligibility requirements. Payments to MA organizations are based, in part, on the projected expenses and profits that MA organizations submit to CMS. These projections also affect (1) the extent to which MA beneficiaries receive additional benefits not provided under FFS and (2) beneficiary cost-sharing and premium amounts. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) required that, starting in 2014, MA organizations have a minimum medical loss ratio of 85 percent--that is, they must spend 85 percent of revenue on medical expenses, quality-improving activities, and reduced premiums.
This report examines how MA organizations' actual expenses and profits for 2011 as a percentage of revenue and in dollars compared to projections for the same year, both for plans available to all Medicare beneficiaries and for plans with specific eligibility requirements. GAO analyzed data on MA organizations' projected and actual allocation of revenue to expenses and profits. The percentage of revenue spent on medical expenses reported in GAO's study is not directly comparable to the PPACA medical loss ratio calculation, as the final rule defining the calculation was issued after actual 2011 data were submitted.

Update to SQuirreL SQL Available
The output to file enhancement is now available if your are on the latest snapshot. This was on their SourceForge page: "Store result of SQL into file" is available with the latest snapshots. You will need the SQLScript-Plugin to use this. See the tools popup (sql2file) or the menu Session=>Scripts=>Store result of SQL into file. I tested it already and it works but with the old excel row limit, if output is .xls.

Q Adds Quirk to User Names and Passwords
Most folks may already know this, but I thought I'd comment. I do know that the password allowance (Q11111) is partially a throwback to the conversions where the System/36 passwords were not controlled as effectively as the followon systems AS/400, i5OS, etc. SSP on the System/36 allowed full numeric passwords and only 4 digits. However, I didn't realize that it may have allowed full numeric userIDs, though come to think of it the IBM service IDs have been all numeric all along. Didn't think about it. Thanks for the additional information!!! —Randy
—from "What About Numeric User IDs and Passwords?"
[Author Dan Riehl responds:]
Hi Randy, Thank you for your comment. One thing I would point out as clarification for our readers (I know you know this Randy), is that the Service Tools UserIDs of 1111111 and 2222222 are NOT Operating System User Profiles. These are IBM supplied Service Tools UserIDs and, as such cannot be used to Logon to the OS. They can only be used to log on to service tools.

QR Codes Capture Interest, Warrant Caution
Thanks for the info here. I guess hackers will hack anything if they can, however if you are offering QR codes to your customers it is your responsibility to be checking them. Everyday might be a stretch depending on how far your client base reaches, but in cooperation with your client, they can be checked weekly if not more,limiting the possibility for hacking. Also, using them in places that would make hacking more difficult is a good option as well. I do believe we will begin to see more info on the subject.
—from "QR Codes: Don't Get QRazy"
Thanks for this article. I'll admit, when I first got my QR app, I'd scan anything just to see what came up. I appreciate the reminder to be a little more discriminating.
—from "QR Codes: Don't Get QRazy"
Great to see people looking at security. I have a couple things I wanted to ask.
>The default behavior for most QR-reading apps is to immediately jump to the encoded URL, giving the user no chance to review the destination address.
I'll admit that I haven't been using QR apps for that long, but the most popular one in the Android market (which was in-part developed by Google) doesn't immediately jump to the encoded URL. Here is a link to the app: http://bit.ly/oNGE5D. Which QR code readers have you used or which ones are you specifically talking about? Or where are you getting your stats?
> For example, a security-savvy desktop user might decide to investigate a suspicious URL by checking out the domain's Who-Is ownership records. That's impossible to do from within a QR app, and even apps that have URL review enabled by default typically do nothing to analyze targets for validity.
Not only POSSIBLE, but it wouldn't be that hard. Actually, I was somewhat surprised that you said "impossible". You could simply do an HTTP request to a URL like the following to obtain the domain info:
—from "QR Codes: Don't Get QRazy"[Author Mel Beckman responds:]
I tested a dozen iPhone apps and a similar number of Android apps. One or two have preview enabled, but for most it was not even an option. The one that has the best behavior on iPhone was Red Laser.
By "impossible from within the app" I meant that the QR app had no controls to assist in URL validation: no "Whois" button, for instance. Of course one can always go to a web-based Whois, or download a Whois app. But desktop browsers have plugins available for all manner of URL safety checking from within the browser.. That same level of rigor needs to go into a QR app.
—from "QR Codes: Don't Get QRazy"
Attacking smartphones via malicious QR codes is a very interesting – and worrisome – concept. Cybercriminals are still very much in the discovery phase in terms of figuring out how to monetize the exploitation of mobile devices, and this just goes to show that many varied possibilities exist. I think the security suggestions provided in the second to last paragraph are very good. One thing I would add – and just to be clear, I am a Symantec employee – is a recommendation to use security software on mobile devices if at all possible. I know that suggestion probably comes as no surprise given the company I work for, but as stated in the last paragraph, mobile malware is becoming much more prevalent and could play into the QR code threat discussed here. Security software is a layer of defense I wouldn't go without.
—from "QR Codes: Don't Get QRazy"
Check out QR Pal, it uses a QR safescan URL checker to make sure that any QR code you have scanned won't do anything nasty to you or your phone.
—from "QR Codes: Don't Get QRazy"
[Author Mel Beckman responds:]
That's a great app! Thanks for the pointer.
A good iPhone app with similar (but less in-depth) security capabilities is QuickMark. This one is recommended by Google in its Favorite Places campaign.
One educational strategy for QR is for those of us who understand the security risks to take time to introduce our friends and acquaintances to secure QR apps.

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes
I love Thee Lord Jesus look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever and love me I pray
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care
And take us to heaven to live with Thee there

text: Puma and Ducati are at it again, collaborating to revamp their 2007 Panigale release. Just like the release in 2007, the new Panigale II has two colorways: white/black/silver and black/silver. Some noticeable differences compared to the first release is the slanted lace area which seems to have been straightened out a little bit and doesnt have as much of an angle anymore. Theres also the fact that the sole now sports some sort of design on the bottom, whereas the other ones were simply just tread. The name Panigale comes from the Bologna section where the Ducati headquarters is. Stay tuned for a look at two Puma Street Cruiser models Puma and Ducati also worked on for this year.

| Post #1 I have been running some time with this values from a file called "speed up Windows 7.reg" In my opinion running a tune up program and let it change things is no different than you taking parts of the tune up program and making the changes manually yourself. One assumes when one makes changes to AAA that it only effect AAA. That is not always true. It could of made changes to many things that one would not be aware of. Many things could depend on AAA working properly or they won't work properly. What tune up program are you referring to? |

| I agree you should System Restore to before you made the bad decision. Then work through the Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7 to possibly resolve your performance issues, especially the Clean Boot, comb the logs, use System Resources. How is Ultimate activated? |

| I did make a backup of the reg.database before adding the values, but that backup is now over 6 month old, and a lot of other things has happend since then. That is why I can't restore back to before I doubbelclicked on the .reg-file with the values in #0. It has worked fine and stable for 6 month, just after adding a 3 Tbyte HDD it is giving me some troubble. It is NOT a program that I have been running. It is a simple text-file called "speed up Windows 7.reg" that I doubbleclicked on to import the values in the reg.database. All I need is the default value from a "normal" Windows 7 x64 to restore it back to default values. |

April 12, 2013 - Very nice. I ordered 2 and plan to use them at the cottage. They are good quality. I may have liked a slightly larger size to write more on 1 page but thats my own doing, as the size is correct in the description.
