My Best BBQ Tips
There are few things in life I love more than a great summer BBQ with my family. We are big grillers, the kind who will stay up all night to slow-smoke that pork shoulder, make our own rubs and mops and sauces, and will cook 9 hours to make silly sandwich. Yes, we are those fools. But the upside of this dysfunction is that I have a bit of BBQ wisdom to impart to you. Here are some of the best quick BBQ tips I could think of to share with you. I hope you enjoy some spectacular grilled food this summer too!
1) STEAK OR CHOPS: Keep it simple. Really, people, here's a secret. You can cook and slave all day, but in the end, if you do it right, a simple steak with salt and pepper and some fresh veggies grilled just right will taste just as amazing as anything can taste. Get a good, fresh piece of meat. We love skirt or ribeye steaks for special occasions. Season well. Fire up your grill and make sure it's hot but the flame is not too high. Put you meat down, relish that hot sizzle, and DO NOT MOVE IT for several minutes. This will ensure you get those trademark grill lines which scream SUMMER and YUM more than anything else. Flip it when you think it is about 60% cooked. Then again, DON'T MOVE IT until it's done, but remember to LET IT REST before slicing. About 7 minutes is good.
2) VEGGIES: Using a grill basket for veggies saves lots of time and trouble. Tossing them in a quick oil and balsamic or Asian dressing will add amazing flavor too. Either way, keep the veggies to the SIDE of the grill. They are far more delicate than meat, and do not need the same intense heat.
3) FISH: Get one or two large, fresh piece with the skin still on. Make sure your grill is very hot, then rub a bit of oil on both the grill and the fish skin. Season your fish, place it SKIN DOWN on the HOT grill, and do not touch it for about 12-14 minutes or until done (of course this depends on size. I'm referring vaguely to a large piece big enough for perhaps 4-5 people, of average thickness.) You can tell your fish is done by the color of the flesh. Using a metal spatula, have a platter ready, and slide the spatula along under the flesh, LEAVING THE SKIN stuck to the grill (it will easily burn and scrub off later) and your fish should come off with no trouble, and taste fantastic too.
4) SAUCES AND SPICE: There are millions of super easy marinades you can make for anything you are about to grill. Just five minutes of online research will offer you so many fast ideas to flavor your meals this summer. Soak the food in a covered dish with the marinate for a as long as possible before cooking but be sure to DISCARD the marinade unless you cook it down, as it will have bacteria from the raw meat or seafood. If used only for veggies, you are fine to keep it and serve it with the grilled food.
Dig in and enjoy your grill this season!
Do you enjoy grilling? Do you have any great quick tips to share?

Yum I am the only one here to grill simple seasoning is right and let meat stand before carving
Agreed. I like to grill when I have guests over because people seem to expect a more simple meal when it's grilled.
Quoting Bmat:
I agree with keep it simple. When people are eating grilled food at a party, simple is a plus.
When I bbq ribs on the electric grill, I can't put the bbq sauce (because it burns to the grill) so after the ribs are cooked I put the ribs on a broiler pan, put sauce on them and let the broiler cook it the rest of the way on. That way the whole house doesn't get hot by cooking the ribs in the oven for the whole amount of time.

The entrepreneurs travelled to Canada following Brazil-Canada Tech Week Sept. 29 to Oct. 3 in Sao Paulo and Porto Alegre, Brazil, which brought Canadian and Brazilian entrepreneurs together to compare business ecosystems, from starting up to finding venture capital and even overcoming failure.
Wallace Santos, co-founder of PSystem, which has expertise in developing and integrating systems, says staying in Brazil is not ideal for growth because his company delivers high-value technology.
"Brazil is traditionally a country that consumes technology" rather than creating it, Santos said, "and we are creating technology. The differences that you have between a country like Canada and a country like Brazil, it's impossible to compare."
Santos is staying in Canada until December in hopes of finding investment, which is difficult in Brazil.
"In Brazil you can't fail. We don't have VC's there. It's very hard to have someone invest in you. If anything is risky they won't invest in you," he said.
Santos participated in the program after being introduced to Ricardo Sodré, Partner and CEO of Project-1 in Brazil, who runs the Bi-Lateral Exchange program there. He believes Canada offers one of the most favourable environments in the world for technology companies to thrive and grow.
"The benefits range from access to innovation, skilled workforce in the tech space to a comprehensive program of tax benefits to encourage the development of research and development," Sodré said. "For companies looking to expand in the North American market, Canada is the best gateway."
Apdata, a software company offering integrated HR solutions, visited Waterloo Region from Oct. 14 to 17. They chose to explore the region as another place to add to their growing list of locations worldwide, which includes Sao Paulo, London and Florida.
"The reason why we're attracted to this region is the talent. Our product is constantly being improved, so we need coders and professionals who can think outside the box and make sure the product is always being improved," said Maricleier Rennie, co-founder of Apdata.
Gaining insight to talent and various programs intended to help technology companies of all sizes succeed is a focus of the Bi-Lateral Exchange program.
"While visiting Waterloo Region, the Brazilian companies will gain insight into accessing to the North American market and evaluate the opportunity to establish themselves here," said Kevin Tuer, Communitech's Vice President of Strategic Initiatives, who initiated the exchange program for the CDMN. "They will be able to tap into all the Communitech Hub programming and the larger commercialization ecosystem so that they can execute and validate quickly."
Alexandre Junqueira is the co-founder Inmetrics, a full service IT company providing strategic planning, valuation, management of processes, people, applications and infrastructure. He participated in the Bi-Lateral Exchange program from Oct. 13 to 24 with the same two goals: to grow the company and understand the ecosystem.
"Here you can find talent, that's something we're lacking back in Brazil. You have this whole community that's willing to make things happen here," Junqueira said. "So this movement together between the community, the market, the universities and the government all together – that's something we're looking for all over the world."]]>
Canada 3.0 2014 drew several international visitors to Calgary, to participate in the Canadian Energy Supply Chain Forum as well as pre-arranged business meetings.
Delegations from Finland, Mexico, Taiwan, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands were all on hand at the BMO Centre, exploring opportunities for international business relationships.
CDMN representatives participated in a "hybrid" meeting about digital innovation between a group of Canadian and Dutch business leaders at the University of Calgary and a similar group gathered in the Hague. The dialogue took place via teleconference, with more than 30 participants in all. It was hosted by the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service, prompted by the Canada-EU Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (ETA) that was signed earlier this year.
Khawar Nasim, Head of the Trade Section of the Canadian Embassy to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, set the stage for the international dialogue, citing the longstanding, yet often underappreciated, relationship between Canada and the Netherlands.
"This friendship has endured and prospered since the Second World War," said Nasim, "and our commercial relationship belies the size of our two nations. Holland is the second largest investor in Canada after the United States."
Participants discussed opportunities for closer business collaboration between Canadian and Dutch companies, including CDMN's Soft Landing program. Trevor Dirksen, of Calgary-based MobileView, explained that his company had taken advantage of the program to land in the UK, and that CDMN support "certainly de-risked" his activities there.
"Any help you can get on business development is good help to take," Dirksen added. MobileView was referred to the Soft Landing program by TRTech, host of Canada 3.0 2014, and one CDMN's partner hubs in Calgary.
Eric van Pelt of the Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency highlighted the significant areas of capability in the Netherlands as an opportunity for Canadian business partnerships – telecommunications, cybersecurity, software, materials and systems, and nanotechnology.
He also explained the potential for greater intersection between the Canadian and Dutch economies lies in fact that most of the Internet's physical infrastructure runs through the Netherlands, with huge amounts of fibre converging in Amsterdam. "We are the digital gateway to Europe."]]>
That focus was evident right from the opening panel of the three-day conference, when Suzanne West, President and CEO of Imaginea Energy, challenged the audience to focus on 'AND', by urging companies to "make a profit AND make the planet healthier AND treat your employees fairly."
On Wednesday evening, CleanTech Canada and Climate Change and Emissions Management Corporation (CCEMC) responded to this challenge by launching "CleanTech Directions 2014," a survey of the state of the cleantech industry in Canada. The report notes there is reason for optimism, as the industry is projected to grow from $11 billion today to $28 billion by 2028.
But difficulties remain, particularly for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) trying to engage with larger energy companies. Kirk Andries, Managing Director of the CCEMC, feels his organization can help, and had a simple message for technology developers: "We don't want your IP or to make money off your technology. We want to reduce [greenhouse gases] and we want to work with SMEs to accomplish that."
The CCEMC is set to launch its next competition in the coming weeks, and wants to ensure substantial and transformative technologies will come forward.
Thursday morning's breakout session aimed to find ways to make that happen, using an "inspired dialogue" format to identify barriers to innovation and ways to overcome them. Participants were split into 10 groups, with a facilitator guiding a conversation built around their experience. With representatives from government, technology companies, energy companies, academia and support organizations in the room, there much experience to draw on.
Richard Liang, the co-founder and CTO of AOMS technology, felt the session was particularly valuable for a young tech entrepreneur like him, because "you don't just meet people, but get a chance to understand the challenges they are facing in their industry and contribute ideas to the process."
The facilitators will assemble input from the session and post it on the CCEMC website.
Minister of State Michelle Rempel echoed many of these themes in her closing keynote address on Thursday morning, stressing that Canadians expect a high degree of environmental performance along with the economic benefits provided by the energy industry.
Rempel highlighted the opportunities the energy industry creates for secondary and tertiary industries, and urged technology entrepreneurs to apply for the Western Innovation Initiative, a five-year, $100-million program to help SMEs in Western Canada bring their ideas to the marketplace.]]>
Benefits to company:
The CDMN Outbound Soft Landing program is accepting applications from qualified Canadian companies from Monday, Nov. 10 until Wednesday, Nov. 26. The program provides up to 15 Canadian small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with entry into a new market for up to three months.
Companies benefit from key contact introductions, working space and regional support to help open new markets, close international sales or connect with new partners. The program also provides up to $4,000 in travel support, and covers the cost associated with working at a partnered accelerator or co-working space. Departures begin Jan. 1, 2015.
Launched in 2012, the high demand and success of the program has resulted in 119 companies landing in 20 foreign markets. More than $16 million in investment opportunities has been identified and $25 million in new revenue generated as result of the program.
Companies interested in a soft landing may inquire through their local CDMN hub or partner.

The second day of Canada 3.0 2014 offered delegates a deeper dive into the Canadian energy sector, including key insights into what energy companies look for from technology companies.
The day kicked off with a market overview by Terry Abel, the Director of Oil Sands at the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers. A key takeaway from his talk was that a continued shift to unconventional oil means cost competitiveness will become even more important to energy producers, as price and access to market remain the two major factors affecting growth of the Canadian market.
The role technology could play in helping to achieve cost reductions was stressed throughout the day, although panelists on the "Technology needs and solution matchmaking" panel also highlighted the need for technology companies to understand the energy industry.
"Just having a good technology or idea is not enough," said Heather Herring, Manager of Innovation at Laricina Energy. "Entrepreneurs need to understand the challenges the industry is facing."
Peter Garrett, president of Innovate Calgary, agreed, underlining that "the notion that IT guys can arrive and just show the energy guys how to innovate won't work." The most successful companies that Innovate Calgary works with are those that understand the energy industry best.
When asked the best way to access the market, panelists stressed that each problem requires a unique approach. Large producers are often reluctant to work with smaller tech companies on asset-intensive work, but venture capitalist Eric Schmadtke noted that "if you're bringing something like data analytics, large companies have signaled they're willing to work with tech upstarts."
In other, more capital-intensive areas, Garrett suggested energy service industry companies can be a better option as they are extremely price sensitive and therefore willing to adopt technology to achieve cost savings.
Another strategy is to develop 'bolt-on technologies' that improve performance without forcing companies to overhaul their entire process. Herring emphasized that this entailed much less risk for companies, and also didn't force them to admit their initial decisions were a mistake.
The afternoon session on digital oilfields provided further insight for technology companies looking to break into the energy sector.
Steve Reece, the Manager of Business Services at Enerplus, explained that it wasn't enough for companies to understand the energy sector – but they had to understand the needs of different sized producers as well.
"The solutions for a mid-size producer (such as Enerplus) will be much different than those of a major or small producer," Reece said. By way of comparative scale, Enerplus is an $800-million company with more than 700 employees – which would be considered a large enterprise in Canada's technology sector.
James Freeman of Zedi went further, noting that the energy sector in Alberta was fertile ground for tech companies because "we have a lot of small and medium sized energy companies where it is easier to get to the decision makers." He suggested technology companies should focus on talking to small companies who have shown a willingness to work with them.
A potentially innovative solution to a common problem surfaced as the session wound to a close, with a question to the panel about whether a mechanism to allow smaller companies to achieve process and security certification would help larger companies in dealing with them. Both Reece and Freeman agreed this would be useful, as it would remove many of the worries about stability and longevity that larger companies have when dealing with smaller tech startups.
The discussion provided a great segue into Day 3 of Canada 3.0, which will feature a hands-on workshop on "Overcoming Barriers to Innovation," to provide concrete recommendations coming out of the conference. More to come on the workshop, and the individual experiences technology companies have had at Canada 3.0 2014.]]>
More than 400 delegates gathered to kick off Canada 3.0 2014 Tuesday as part of the Canadian Energy Supply Chain Forum.
This year's event marks a departure from the typical Canada 3.0 formula, which has annually brought together tech industry leaders, researchers and policy makers in a conversation about Canada's digital economy. The Canada 3.0 2014 event is hosted by TRTech, and embeds the digital community with another industry. The new format is an effort to cross-pollinate two of Canada's leading industry sectors with the goal of increasing productivity.
Bill Whitelaw, CEO of June Warren-Nickle's Energy Group, kicked off the day's events by outlining the fundamental question that his team and its partners at TRTech and CDMN are trying to answer: "How do we talk to the energy sector about innovation?"
Whitelaw assured the audience that there's a great deal of innovation already happening in Canada's energy sector, though it is often isolated in pockets. To illustrate, he invoked an energy industry metaphor: "There are lots of pores, but very little permeability."
Over the course of the afternoon, panels of digital and energy industry experts endeavoured to illustrate the advantages of permeability. Case studies of successful tech-energy partnerships were highlighted through a series of video vignettes.
Tom Jenkins, Chairman of OpenText and Dawn Farrell, president and CEO of TransAlta both highlighted the opportunity inherent in big data and the Internet of Things to transform the energy sector. "Everything we operate runs 24/7," said Farrell. "We bill in 10-minute increments, and we look at profitability weekly… Our [profit margin] goes away really fast if we don't know what we need to do. We need to innovate like crazy."
This opportunity was reinforced during a panel about "The Next Game Changers." Panelists enumerated trends they predict will shape the future of Canada's energy industry, including:
Venture capitalist Whitney Rockley of McRock Capital summed up the Internet of Things opportunity for the energy sector this way: "We're embedding smarts in equipment and big iron. It's about asset performance optimization, without increasing our capital spend." To highlight the potential of this opportunity, she noted that companies are currently spending $9.1 billion annually on machine maintenance data analytics, and this is expected to grow to $24.7 billion by 2019.
Environmental technology was also highlighted as a priority, with the Canadian Oil Sands Innovation Alliance (COSIA) calling for technology companies with potential solutions to submit them through the ETAP process to be evaluated by professionals in the industry.
Drawing the connection between the Canada 3.0 sessions and the broader CECSF event, executive producer Ian MacGillivray appealed to delegates to seek to answer the question "What now?" at the end of every session. By his reckoning, the Forum offers 73 speakers, 28 different topics of discussion, and close to 900 attendees.
We'll have more coverage on the opportunity that technology companies attending this year's Canada 3.0 hope to gain by intersecting with Canada's energy industry leaders.]]>
Jenkins, of course, is the former CEO and current board chair of OpenText, one of Canada's largest and most successful technology companies. West has built and sold oil and gas companies worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and she's trying to do that again – albeit with a greater focus on environmental and social responsibility – with Imaginea Energy.
But if there's one thing they have in common, it's their belief that innovation and collaboration are key to growth and prosperity in their respective sectors – and that those values are key to bringing them together.
It's fitting, then, that they'll be together to deliver the keynote address, along with TransAlta CEO Dawn Farrell, to kick off this year's Canada 3.0 conference in Calgary on Oct. 28. The subject of their keynote, a call to action on the need for Canada's energy and technology sectors to work more closely together, couldn't come at a more important time.
Jenkins says the fact that Canada 3.0 decided to come to Calgary and partner with the Canadian Energy Supply Chain Forum represents an important opportunity for people working in the technology and energy sectors to get to know each other a bit better.
"It's not like the energy sector guys aren't innovating, and it's not like the tech guys haven't been chasing down oil and gas issues. But that doesn't mean that they have a very good working understanding of each other, and one of the reasons we wanted to bring Canada 3.0 to Calgary was to accelerate that. It's good for both sides, both the vendor and the client. It's also good for the country."
It's particularly good for the energy sector, given that the most pressing challenge it faces in the current economic environment isn't how to extract oil and gas resources, but how to do it as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.
"The better we are at producing things in the most cost-effective way, the better off we're going to be," Jenkins says. "And that's the great thing about productivity: It works both ways. It allows you to get more done in a growing market, but it also allows you to save a lot of money in a static or shrinking one. That's what I've spent a lot of my career doing – [learning] how to do you things more efficiently, whether it's in process or handling information. And all these digital guys that are coming? That's what they do."
The challenge for the energy sector, West says, isn't so much in finding better ways to do business, but being willing to actually embrace them.
"I've been shocked at how many things are out there that are ready to go, or nearly ready to go, that we're not using. But my industry is a little bit plagued by fear. Nobody wants to step out and be that person who steps in the poop pile or isn't completely successful. They're willing to be the third or the fourth or the tenth, but they're out if they're number 1. In my mind, that's a huge barrier."
It's particularly odd, she says, given that the energy sector already has a tried-and-true method for de-risking things.
"It's why we drill exploration wells. It isn't because that well is going to have really fantastic economics. It's because that could prove up a billion barrels of oil. It's funny that we have an industry that gets it from that aspect, but hasn't translated it to this lovely marriage with the technology world."
Equally problematic, West says, is the sector's unwillingness to look beyond its own borders for potential solutions to problems.
"They just focus on the technology within their industry, which they're either comfortable with or know about. But it's like, 'Why don't you go see what Google's doing?' Hey, maybe not everything is applicable, but that's the great thing about brainstorming."
And, she says, the energy sector has a lot to learn from its peers in the high-tech world. "We've been an industry that's hyper-competitive – fighting for market, fighting for dollars. To me, the tech sector has been the showcase of the power of open source. Look at what Elon Musk just did – gave away all of his patents. But he knows that's going to make him more money, because he gets that he's running a battery company, not an electric car company."
Neither West nor Jenkins expect any Tesla-level breakthroughs to happen at this year's event. Instead, they say, it's about each side getting to know each other and forming the relationships that could, one day, be the foundation for some mutually-beneficial projects.
That's why, according to Jenkins, Canada 3.0's success will be determined as much by what happens in the hallways as it will be by the content of the sessions.
"If all that gets accomplished is that everyone becomes more aware of the technologies that are being worked on in other industries, or that have been done for other energy companies throughout the world, and the tech guys get exposure to problems that they hadn't thought about before and they go away and think about how to solve them, that's a great conference."
But, as West points out, it has to mark the beginning of a deeper and more engaged relationship. Working in isolation is no longer an option – not if both sides want to continue to grow their share of, and contributions to, the Canadian economy.
"Invariably, we're better together. The world belongs, and the future belongs, in my mind, to those people who collaborate the most," she says. "The pace of the change, the amount of information . . . you can't do it by yourself anymore."]]>
And while there's still plenty of work to be done in improving its environmental performance, much has already been done – with money that came out of the industry's pocket.
That's because Alberta has had a small carbon tax since 2007, the funds from which have gone into the Climate Change and Emissions Management Corporation (CCEMC) and been invested in ambitious early-stage technologies that reduce the province's carbon emissions.
Kirk Andries, the CCEMC's managing director, says it's all about swinging for the fences. "We don't want to throw our money at projects that would happen anyway. We want to throw money at projects where it makes a difference."
Andries will run a workshop on overcoming barriers to innovation at the Canada 3.0 conference in Calgary Oct. 28-30. The event is being held in partnership with the Canadian Energy Supply Chain Forum.
The CCEMC has already funded about 100 projects, 10 of which have been completed and 90 of which are still in the process of being developed and deployed.
Then there's the international Grand Challenge, which seeded 24 projects with $500,000 grants last year and will fund up to five different winners with $3 million each in the next round, scheduled to begin in September 2015.
From that group, a final winner – the one with the best chance of annually reducing GHG emissions in Alberta by one net megaton – will be awarded a $10-million grant in 2018.
So which fences is CCEMC encouraging project proponents to swing for, exactly? Its work concentrates on three key areas: carbon capture and storage (both biological and geological storage); greening energy production; and conservation and energy efficiency.
The Grand Challenge, meanwhile, is focused squarely on innovative carbon uses. CCEMC funding has gone into a wide range of projects with an even wider range of partners and proponents, from one that combines German technology and animal waste from Lethbridge to create the first bio-gas plant in Canada, to an innovative partnership between two oil-and-gas giants (Suncor Energy and Nexen) and a telecommunications company out of Florida.
In that particular partnership, the proponents are out to prove that a combination of electromagnetic heating and solvent can replace water in the SAGD (steam-assisted gravity drainage) technique that's currently used to extract bitumen from deeper deposits – and reduce associated greenhouse gases by 80 per cent in the process.
"For us that is truly transformative," Andries says, "because the in-situ oilsands resource in Alberta is largely undeveloped. Most of the oilsands development has occurred in the mining area, which is about 20 per cent of all the reserves. In situ is 80 per cent, and we're just starting to scratch the surface of getting at that. This could be an exceptionally good project to really bend the curve in terms of greenhouse gas emissions relative to the baseline."
CCEMC has contributed more than $16 million to that particular project. So what happens if it proves to be a technological success – and therefore a commercial one as well?
"We would be more than thrilled if the technologies get commercialized and broadly deployed; in fact, that is our agenda – find these and help to accelerate commercialization," Andries says. "Move them along the innovation chain and the technology readiness scale as quickly as possible, and have them broadly deployed."
There's a catch, though. In exchange for both the funding and the hands-off approach to the intellectual property that money is helping to create, CCEMC requires that proponents make the technology as widely available as possible.
"We won't fund a project if somebody wants to do this work and then achieve competitive advantage and not share it with anybody," he says. "That would be out of scope for us. It's fine to make money on your technology, but you can't save it for yourself – it has to be broadly deployed."]]>
That he was so quickly and thoroughly proven wrong was less a reflection of his predictive skills than a result of a pair of technological innovations that completely upended the supply curve.
Horizontal drilling, when combined with multi-stage fracturing techniques – fracking, in other words – unlocked reservoirs previously thought to be inaccessible. Now, if there's a worry that energy economists have, it's that there's too much oil out there.
The next game-changing technological innovation in the oil and gas sector will almost certainly happen above the ground rather than underneath it.
These transformative technologies will be the focus of a panel at the Canada 3.0 conference in Calgary Oct. 28-30. The event is being held in partnership with the Canadian Energy Supply Chain Forum.
"There are a bunch of technologies that are relatively easy or close or make good economic sense right now," says the CMC Research Institutes' Richard Adamson, "many of which have an IT component to them – things like energy networking and efficiency through increasing the connectivity of industrial processes."
Adamson, who will be a panelist at Canada 3.0, thinks there's also work to be done in places where there isn't that connectivity – not an unusual situation in an industry that tends naturally towards the proprietary and closed rather than the shared and open.
"Some of the stuff that we do has absolutely huge volumes of data (seismic), and the problem of diversity of data sets where you've got multiple different data sets that need to be integrated in some way in order to understand or model what's going on – that's also critical."
That process of integration is also extending right down to the field, where the relationship between workers and equipment is changing in profound ways. According to McRock Capital's Whitney Rockley, another Canada 3.0 panelist, that includes equipping field workers with tablets, smartphones and other pieces of technology, and loading them up with apps that make their work more efficient and effective.
"There's now a whole onset of industrial apps, where your phone or tablet could connect, if you're an operator in the field, to the various pieces of equipment so you can actually understand in real time what's happening to them."
But the more interesting – and more potentially transformative – development is the manifestation of the so-called "Internet of Things" in the oil and gas industry. Cisco has estimated that by 2020, 50 billion devices will be connected to the Internet, and machine-to-machine connections will also increase exponentially over that period.
That combination of interconnectivity and sheer computational power will, in Rockley's view, completely change the way business is done in the energy sector.
Plenty of pieces of equipment already have sensors attached to them and are capable of transmitting data. Once more of those sensors are implemented and more data is captured, she says, the potential applications are nearly unlimited.
"The disruptive piece today, on the industrial side, is really around analytics and what you do with that data," she says. "It's about predictive and prescriptive analytics, particularly as they relate to field assets."
Not only do these predictive analytics explain why a piece of equipment is down, but they'll tell operators the best course of action to get them up and running again as quickly as possible.
Better still, they'll be capable of interacting with and learning from each other, which means that if one drilling rig goes down with a particular mechanical issue, the others will learn from that failure and adjust accordingly.
"So now you're not just predicting what's going to happen with individual pieces," she says. "You're actually understanding and learning from all of the various assets that you have in the field."
And while this would have been a more difficult sell in the notoriously conservative oil and gas sector a few years ago, Rockley says the fact that big players like Royal Dutch Shell are aggressively embracing trends like the digital worker and the Internet of Things means other companies will start to as well.
"That's the one question you get asked a lot: What's changed? If you look back at the industry, it's inherently conservative and technically very sophisticated, and we've had promises of things like the digital oilfield for 10 or 15 years. Have things really changed?
"And the answer is: absolutely."]]>

"Indeed, one might wonder whether Mozart, a celebrated pianist, really played with much greater conviction, brilliance, individuality or finesse than Kahane brought to the magnificent 25th Concerto." -–Detroit News
Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra
Jeffrey Kahane, conductor and piano
All-Mozart Program:
Piano Concerto No. 16 in D major
Piano Concerto No. 18 in B-flat major
Piano Concerto No. 25 in C major
The 1784 concertos, written when Mozart was the toast of Vienna, were both published successfully during his lifetime, No. 16 in 1785, and No. 18 in 1787.
Piano Concerto No. 25 (1786) was only published after Mozart's death when his widow pursued this "risky venture" herself. As she feared, Constanze was forced to sell the engraved plates of her 1797 edition to recoup her losses.

The preferred embodiment of the invention comprises proximity actuated signalling apparatus, for use in restaurants and the like, permitting a customer to conveniently inform service personnel that service is desired. A local unit positioned within a convenient distance of the customer is actuated by the customer touching the unit to turn on a light emitting indicator. Optionally, a transmitter is actuated to generate a radiated signal which turns on one or more remote indicators.
1. A portable customer activated device for activating an indicator having an on and off state, said portable device including a proximity actuated circuit, a power source, and an enclosure; said enclosure comprising a simulated beverage bottle, said indicator, said proximity actuated circuit and said power source being mounted inside said enclosure, said proximity actuated circuit including a proximity sensor mounted near the opening of said simulated beverage bottle whereby said customer selectively activates said device by positioning a selected portion of said customer's body within a predetermined distance of said sensor to activate said proximity actuated circuit to switch said indicator to said on state to indicate to service personnel that said customer desires service and thereby causing said proximity actuated circuit to latch in the on state until switched to the off state.
2. The device of claim 1 wherein said proximity actuated circuit is switched to the off state by means of an automation time out.
3. The device of claim 1 wherein said proximity actuated circuit is switched to the off state by means of service personnel.
4. The device of claim 1 further including transmitter means responsive to said proximity actuated circuit to generate a radiated signal which activates a remote indicator in response to the activation of said proximity actuated circuit.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates in general to signalling systems and, more particularly, to an apparatus and a method usable in bars, restaurants, or the like to aid a customer in indicating that service is desired.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In a bar, restaurant or similar facility, a single attendant may be at any location within the establishment and yet be responsible for servicing numerous customers. Ordinarily, a customer wishing service waits for the nearest attendant to approach him or her.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,810,164 to Adelor A. Lambert shows a prior art system suitable for use in bars. This patent discloses a plurality of activation units mounted on a bar counter top. Each activation unit is activated by placing a glass, bottle, or other weighted object on top of a platform thereby turning on lamps both near the activation unit and at a remote location. The activation unit is deactivated by removing the object from the platform. Each activation unit must be directly wired to the power source and to the remote indicator. As a result, it is cumbersome to install the activation units and once installed, the activation units are not easily moved to other locations, even on the same table. This makes it difficult to use that device in rooms whose layout is designed to be easily changeable by the rearranging of tables. U.S. Pat. No. 3,076,185, to E. S. Ida and U.S. Pat. No. 3,240,989, to G. K. B. T. Grunwaldt are also of interest.
The preferred embodiment of the invention comprises an apparatus for activating an indicator having at least first and second states. The indicator is switched between its two states by a proximity actuated circuit. A power source and the proximity actuated circuit are mounted in an enclosure comprising a simulated beverage bottle. Objects within a predetermined distance of the apparatus actuates a proximity sensor mounted near the opening of the simulated beverage bottle to switch the indicator to at least one of its two states. Optionally, coded radiated signals may be provided to activate one or more remote indicators.
FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of the preferred embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a functional drawing illustrating the preferred embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 3 illustrates the use of the customer activated device in conjunction with a gratuity collection jar.
FIG. 4 is a generalized functional block diagram of the electronic circuitry used in the customer activated device.
FIG. 5 is a drawing illustrating the battery charger.
FIG. 1 is a generalized functional block diagram of the system comprising the invention. The operation of the system is described below with respect to a typical system which includes a local indicator device 10, a typical remote indicator 12 and a plurality of portable annunciators 14. A customer desiring service activates the local indicator device 10 which in turn activates the remote indicator 12 and the annunciator 14.
Specifically, the system includes one or more self-contained customer activated (local) indicator device 10, and optionally includes at least one remote indicator 12. One or more portable annunciators collectively illustrate at reference numeral 14 may also be selectively activated by the remote indicator 12.
Functionally, the remote indicator 12 provides a central location permitting service personnel to determine which customer desires service. The remote indicator may be positioned at any location selected to permit the service personnel to periodically and conveniently determine which customer desires service. The portable annunciators which may resemble pagers, include a suitable indicator to permit service personnel to determine which customer desires service without access to either the customer activated device 10 or the remote indicator 12. Thus, in a typical system the service person responsible has three possible methods of determining that a customer desires service.
A typical customer activated indicator device 10 includes a power source 11, preferably a rechargeable battery, a proximity actuated circuit including a sensor 13 and at least a bistable circuit 16, an indicator 18 and optionally a transmitter 20 for generating a coded radiated signal comprising waves 23. Stated another way, if the application is such that remote indicators are not desired, the transmitter 20 is not required.
Typical radiated waves include conventional radio and optical signals. In applications using a plurality of customer activated device 10, each device has a unique identification code. When the local transmitter 20 is energized, the radiated wave 23 is modulated to include this identification code. Other details of the invention are discussed in more detail below with reference to the other drawings.
Specifically, the proximity sensor 13 is responsive to objects within a predetermined range of the sensor 13, such as the customer's finger 22, to actuate a bistable circuit 16. When activated by the proximity sensor 13, the bistable circuit 16 is triggered to a first state which activates a local indicator 18. Optionally, as previously discussed, the bistable circuit 16 also activates a transmitter 20 to generate a coded radiated signal 23 modulated with the identification code. This signal is sensed by a receiver 34 to selectively activate a remote display 30. Stated another way, the receiver 34 may be programmed to assign any one of the indicator device 30 to a particular identification code. Remote display 30 typically includes a plurality of indicators collectively illustrated at reference numeral 30, which may generate visual, audible or some other type of suitable and usefull indication of activation of the local indicator device 10.
Functionally, the remote indicator 12 includes a power source 32, a programmable receiver 34 for sensing the radiated wave 23 and remote indicator 30. The receiver 34 in the remote unit 30 is programmable to sense the radiated signal 23 and recover the identification codes to selectively activate remote indicator 30 to identify the specific customer activated unit. That is, the receiver 34 recovers the identification code and activates an indicator assigned to the identification code by the program.
The radiated signal 23 may be coded, using techniques that are similar to those used in conventional garage door openers. That being the case, it is not believed necessary to describe the coding technique in detail.
The customer activated indicator device 10 may take a variety of forms with the preferred embodiment, illustrated in FIG. 2. This embodiment of the invention resembles a beverage bottle and includes an upper portion 40 and a lower portion 42. A simulated label 44 promotes products sold by the establishment. For example, the customer activated indicator illustrated is specifically designed to be used by a bar which serves "Beer". In such an application, the simulated label 44 is printed to promote this product. Activation of the indicator 46, Which may be a conventional light emitting device, illustrates the simulated label 44 thereby suggesting that beer is available. In this embodiment, the cap of the simulated bottle serves as the sensor and may be coupled to the electronic circuity using any suitable technique.
The lower portion 42 of the simulated beverage bottle is the power source. An upwardly extending rib portion mates with a groove in the upper portion 40 assuring that the upper and lower portions mate properly. A two conductor receptacle 52 mates with a suitable connector in the upper portion 40. The lower portion 42 (power supply) may comprise a rechargeable battery or a replaceable battery. A suitable battery charger is subsequently discussed.
In another embodiment of the invention, illustrated in FIG. 3, a customer activated indicator 60, of the type discussed above, is combined with a gratuity jar 62; with the customer activated indicator 60 and the gratuity jar 62 being supported by a common decorative base 64. In this embodiment the customer activated indicator may include all of the features discussed above. This embodiment is designed to be positioned on a conventional bar to provide customers a convenient means of indicating the desire for service, for promoting products sold by the establishment and providing a suggestion that tips are appreciated by the service personnel.
Circuity usable in the customer activated indicator is illustrated in FIG. 4. Functionally, the bistable circuit 70 is activated by a signal generated by the proximity sensor 71 to trigger the bistable circuit 70 to a selected first state. In the selected first state, the output signal of the bistable circuit 70 activates the local indicator 72 through a flasher 73 and optionally activates the transmitter 76 to generate the radiated coded signal 23. Additionally, the output signal of the bistable circuit 70 is coupled to the input terminal of a time delay circuit 78 to activate this circuit to generate a pulse after a predetermined time interval. This pulse resets the bistable circuit 70 to its second state. Resetting the bistable circuit disables the transmitter 76 and the indicator 72. Additionally, the output signal of the bistable circuit 70 is combined in a two input gate circuit with the output signal of the proximity sensor 71 to permit this sensor to be used to reset the bistable circuit 70.
These features assure that the customer activated indicator 10 will not be left permanently in an energized state. This is especially important when the device is operated from batteries, either rechargeable or replaceable.
As discussed above, in the preferred embodiment the power source 42 is a rechargeable battery packaged as illustrated in FIG. 2. This configuration requires suitable means for recharging the battery.
The preferred embodiment of a suitable battery charger is illustrated in FIG. 5. More specifically, the charger 77 includes a substantially flat top surface 75 having a plurality of identical sockets, typically illustrated at reference numeral 74, therein. Recharging a typical battery requires that it be removed (uncoupled) from the upper portion 40 of the customer activated device 10, inserted as illustrated in FIG. 5 and inserted into a vacant socket in the battery charger 77. When so inverted into the charger 77, it provides a charging current to the battery.
The above described embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. Variations and modifications in the above-described invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. Such variation could be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as expressed in the appended claims. Additionally, the invention can be implemented using commercially available components and conventional construction techniques.

With the market finally taking a breather from its seemingly endless downward spiral (6 weeks and counting), some investors may want to try something new, something like "shorting" a stock. Many have heard about this worthy effort, but few know the details on what it really means. The first thing it means is that you can lose an infinite (truly infinite) amount of money. So tread cautiously. Shorting a stock is simple. You sell one you don't own. If it goes down in price, you buy it back and make money. For example, you sell Ford (F) at $15 and buy it back at $10. You make $5 a share or 33% on your short but 66% on your margin deposit if it's $7.50 a share. Pretty good. But, as with most things in investing, it isn't that simple. There are rules that go with shorting a stock and also expenses. The first rule is that the stock has to be sold on an uptick. That means, you can't just go in and hit the bid and sell the stock. If you could do that, you could short it continuously until you drive it to almost zero, then buy it back and make a lot of money. So the stock has to trade up before it can be sold short. Let's say you've shorted your stock successfully. That means your brokerage firm has borrowed the stock from some other account (because there is a real buyer on the other side of the short) and delivered the stock to the new owner. Not all stocks can be shorted. Your broker will let you know immediately when you place the order if the stock you want to short can't be. Now there are three people involved in the short: you, the new owner, and the account that loaned the stock to the new buyer. This is important because the account from which the stock is borrowed can play an important role in your making or losing money. More on that below. In your account, you will have a small minus sign by the stock you shorted, meaning that you are short that position. It will also be in a margin account which is the only kind of account in which you can short. There will be a credit balance (if you sold 100 shares of Ford at $15, then it would show $2250 ($1500 plus $750 deposit) if you put up 50% margin which is the norm for a beginning short position, just like a buy in a margin account). That credit balance is real. You received cash from the buyer of the Ford. But here's the catch: the brokerage firm will charge you interest on that credit balance because it's in a margin account. In other words, there is a positive balance in the account, but you still have to pay interest on it.....unless you're a large account that shorts a lot and have a deal with the brokerage firm. Most of us aren't in that league. So that's the first expense: interest on credit balances. The second surprise comes when the stock pays a dividend, if it does. Since the new owner of the stock needs to receive the dividend, he/she has to get it from somewhere. The old owner of the stock, from which it was borrowed, gets his/her dividend from the company since he/she still shows as the owner of record. So where does the didividend to the new owner come from? Go on, guess......that's right: YOU. You're on the hook for all dividends paid to the new owner. That's more money out of your pocket for having a short. The next surprise can come from the old owner of the stock. It's called the short squeeze. It works like this. The old owner (and many others) decide they want to sell their stock. But their stock has been borrowed. In order for them to sell the stock, they need it in their account. If their broker can't find another account from which to borrow the stock, the brokerage firm has the right to call back the stock from you. You, of course, don't own the stock. You sold it. So you have to go into the market and buy it back so your brokerage firm can deliver back the stock it borrowed. The timing on this can be excruciating if the stock you shorted has gone up dramatically. Of course, the higher it goes, the more money you lose. Also, as it goes up, you need to keep adding funds to your margin account because you are losing money, and margin has to be maintained to protect the broker. That's another expensive surprise when shorting. Another unique attribute to shorting: there are no capital gains. It doesn't matter if you short a stock for a day or for 5 years. If you make or lose money on it, it is treated as short term gains or losses. Lastly, and this is the most important: you have no limit as to the amount of money you can lose when shorting. A stock can keep going up forever. As long is it does, you lose money. When you buy a stock, it can only go to zero, and you lose all your investment. There is a finite amount of money to lose. Shorting doesn't have that limit. It's limitless in its losses but very finite in its rewards: you can only make, at the most, the difference between where you shorted a stock and zero. Shorting can be a useful tool. It should be approached with great caution, and any positions taken require the same due diligence as buying a stock. But the consequences of shorting can be much more expensive and shocking than simply buying a stock. If you don't know what you're doing, you can really feel it in the shorts. - Ted Allrich June 14, 2011

Guestbook comments from the owner
We stayed up here during our Christmas break from the 23-30th. Let me just start off with saying what a wonderful experience we had up here. The street of the golf resort was tricky to find but once you found it, it was a breeze. The cottage was well kept, well maintained and an absolute delight for us.
The check-in was effortless and there was no need to meet anyone. No key required so you don't have to worry about having somebody home all the time. The system works wonderfully.
The cottage surpassed our every expectation. All the shelves were fully stocked for you. You would be surprised if they were missing something that you needed. There was MORE than enough room to accommodate our party. The bathrooms were clean with toiletries and towels. The cottage is attached to another condo but we lucked out and had no neighbours so we didn't have to worry about holiday noise.
The golf resort was so charming with beautiful scenery, nice walks and there were small hills in the back where the kids could toboggan. There were plenty of parking spaces for visitors and about a 7 minute drive to Mont Tremblant. The supermarket was about a 5 minute drive as well as shopping at the next exit.
We are just lucky to have found this place. This will definitely be the first of many visits.

Stars' Favorite Workout Moves
Madonna's core is tighter than a teen's. Her secret weapon: a towel. She and trainer Nicole Winhoffer use one for high-intensity workouts to make muscles work harder and nix floor-work friction. Try this move to reach those hard-to-target obliques. As the superstar sings, Gimme all your love ... handles.
Lie on left side on a smooth surface, with knees bent and left forearm on a towel supporting upper body, right fingertips on floor in front of you for balance. Slowly slide towel forward until left arm extends almost fully but torso isn't touching floor (as shown), then reverse move to return to start. Do 15 reps, then switch sides.

Australian hip-hop artist Iggy Azalea has the Internet buzzing as a new photo is currently circulating online showing her A$AP Rocky finger tattoo crossed out.
Although she has not to address the updated ink job, the photo has sparked widespread reactions from bloggers.
Damn @IggyAzalea, It was all good just some ink ago. Iggy Azalea has been on and off again with publicizing her
relationshipsituationship with ASAP Rocky, but we think this could be the last we hear of them as a pair or 'friends' or whatever they call it these days. In any case, the Beauty from Down Under got caught in a photo with her famed fingers that usually read Long Live ASAP exed out. No word on why the sudden change but one things for sure, that's permanent. Check it out the before and after below. (DDOTOMEN)
Last summer, Rocky downplayed questions involved himself and Iggy.
"No, nah, I'm not dating her," Rocky told Jenny after complimenting her looks. "I do like blondes. [Is the relationship over?] How do you ever know there was a relationship? [laughs] Nah, I'm not dating her. [Were we having sex?] Ummm… [laughs] You tell me. I hope so, that would be a beautiful sight." ("Jenny Boom Boom TV")
A month prior, Iggy kept her lips sealed when hit with Rocky dating questions.
"If I were in a relationship ever in life, you would never hear me talk about it and it's not about career," she said. "It's because I believe some things you have to keep to yourself. Relationships are one of them. … My mother thought I was a lesbian because I would never bring home guys. I'm not into women. … I'd never do a sex tape. I'm boring." (Power 105.1)
In January 2012, Azalea reportedly spilled the beans on her hook-up with Rocky and allegedy donning his tattoo.
"Ugh, it's hard to say without getting myself in trouble. [Laughs]," she said when asked about the tat. "I don't know how to put it. It's like… I… I don't know… I love him and that's all there is to it. We have our own thing going on and I'm not the only one that [got the tattoos]. I'll tell you that. [Laughs] I'm just the only one with it on my fingers! [Do I love the movement or Rocky?] It's not the movement. I'll tell you that. [Am I single?] I'd have to say that I'm taken." (VIBE)

ESM Patron Ready for Road America Attack
ALMS - Elkhart Lake, MI
As the lone Ferrari team in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) presented by Tequila Patrón GT class, Extreme Speed Motorsports (ESM) has two main goals this weekend – maintain Ferrari's winning ways at Road America and secure another victory for the Florida-based sports car team.
The team has victory in its sights as the Road America Road Race Showcase, the seventh round of ALMS competition, kicks into high gear this weekend. The 2011 event saw a Ferrari atop the GT podium and ESM seeks a back-to-back Ferrari win and another team victory.
Primed and ready to go for the longest track of the schedule, the 4.048-mile, 14-turn circuit should favor the high-RPM horsepower of the Ferrari Italia 458s in top-end speed.
ESM driver/owner Scott Sharp is quite familiar with that top podium spot at Road America. During the four-hour event in 2008, Sharp and then co-driver David Brabham won the P2 class in their Tequila Patrón-sponsored Acura LMP2 race car. Then the duo backed up their win in 2009, during a two hour and 45 minute race at the fabled track.
At this weekend's four-hour Road America Road Race Showcase, Sharp and co-driver Johannes van Overbeek look to score their second win of the 2012 season with the No. 01 Tequila Patrón Ferrari Italia 458. The pair won at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in late July. This season, Sharp and van Overbeek have had consistent top-10 qualifying efforts as well as four top-five finishes in the increasingly competitive ALMS GT class.
Hot off their front row qualifying spot at Mid-Ohio, Guy Cosmo and Ed Brown, in the No. 02 Tequila Patrón Ferrari Italia 458, look to repeat that success in qualifying and the race. In the 2009 ALMS race at Road America, Cosmo set the fast qualifier and fast lap time while competing in the GTC class.
In addition to their time in the Ferraris this weekend, Cosmo and van Overbeek will use manpower to wheel their way around the track. On Friday evening, August 17, Cosmo and van Overbeek are participating in the 2012 Subaru Tour de Road America – Bike Ride to Fight Cancer. This special on-track bicycle event benefits LIVESTRONG, the Austin Hatcher Foundation for Pediatric Cancer, the Lance Armstrong Foundation and the Vince Lombardi Cancer Clinic. For more information on the event, visit www.pelotonride.org.
