VOLUNTEERS for this year's Christmas Eve celebrations will be multiplying the festive cheer with more Santa's than you can shake a stick at. The free event organised by thePortland Young Professionals Network and partners will run from 6-8pm on the Bentinck St lawns. Live music, an egg and spoon race, a jumping castle, kids craft and the arrival of Santa is just some of the entertainment on offer. New to this year's celebration is Santa on the Run at 6pm — a one mile race that requires entrants to dress as Santa. The entry fee is $25, including suit hire, and all money raised will be donated to United Way Glenelg (UWG). UWG member Nicole Reefman said many of the organisation's volunteers were of an older demographic, so the race is an opportunity to engage with a younger audience. "This is the first year we've run the event and there might be some people who aren't sure about running in a Santa suit but we hope to build up a following with the YPN and have the event next year too," Mrs Reefman said.

DEMONSTRATING outstanding ability and dedication to their work has gained 15 Portland apprentices awards at the 2012 Trades & Technology Skills Awards Night recently. The South West Institute of TAFE students were honoured in a variety of fields including electrotechnology, engineering, mechanical and fabrication in the Centre For Trade and Technology. Kane Rogers and Shane Lewis are employed by Sobey Services as apprentices. Their employer Glenn Sobey praised the two for the quality of their output. "We do a lot of different jobs here, so the two are gaining a wide range of experience," he said. "They were chosen for these awards on the basis of their ability, and also because they really apply themselves to the work." One Portland apprentice, Kieran Malseed of Mirtschin Plumbing, was honoured with the first-ever Brian Crichton Endeavour Award. "The Brian Crichton Endeavour Award is given in recognition of a plumbing student who has shown perseverance through schooling to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals," a TAFE spokesperson said.

FOR at least five young Portland and Heywood residents, Monday morning brought a pleasant surprise with the arrival of their Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR). Nicola Symons, who attended Hamilton and Alexandra College, received the highest ATAR for the area with 95.1 and a perfect score for her Studio Arts subject, making her eligible for the prestigious Premier's Award recognising the state's elite students in the subject. Kaitlyn Hastings' 93.85 made her the highest-ranked area resident at Monivae College, Portland Secondary College dux Eloise Fleming achieved 92.75, Bayview College dux Nathan Harders received 92.65 and Heywood and District Secondary College dux Ashleigh Endacott had 88.8. Nicola initially thought her results had been sent to the wrong person. "I sat with mum waiting for the "real" results to arrive and when they didn't, we decided to celebrate the score I'd got," Nicola said. She specially thanked family friend Bob Stone, aPortlandartist, who Nicola said helped her achieve her perfect Studio Arts score. "I've always loved arts, but more of the hands-on side. He really helped me with the theory side of things," Nicola said. Nicola plans to study osteopathy at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, although she is undecided on whether she'll take a gap year. Read more in Wednesday's Portland Observer.
PEACH'S Fruit Market will close on Monday after six years in the city. The Portland fruit store, that has eight part-time and casual employees, will close for the last time on Christmas Eve. Peach's Fruit Market owner Mark Petrie said thePortland manager Jackie Rivett would still be employed in the area for the wholesale side of the business, which supplies hospitals and other shops in the south-west, but other employees would lose their jobs. "It was purely a business decision," Mr Petrie said. The Percy Ststore initially opened on December 4, 2006. "We sent a couple from Ballarat down to run it, but it didn't do well," Mr Petrie said. Mr Petrie stepped in to oversee the shop, but he said it involved too much effort to just break even. "Business is okay but not good enough to continue long term," Mr Petrie said. "As the lease is going to run out I wasn't keen on signing on for a long-term commitment." Glenelg Shire councillor Geoff White was disappointed to learn of the closure and said Peaches had been a real asset to Portland. Read more in Wednesday's Portland Observer.

The Window Cleaner
A short muisc video based on the classic song "The Window Cleaner" sung by George Formby
4.39 / 5.00 6,360 ViewsBeware mixing chemicals. A short experimental animated film. Enjoy! Please don't forget to vote and review!
The song is Sordid on the album Permutation by Amon Tobin.
More like trip hop
I'd love to hear how you came up with the idea for making this. The animation style perfectly describes a crazy acid trip, even to those who've never had one. A really interesting experimental flash.
Very good
Quite an interesting movie to an idea I haven't seen yet, well done.

A Kinect Princess Leia Hologram In Realtime 112
from the recreation-opportunities dept.
Please create an account to participate in the Slashdot moderation system
The first 2D electronic television displays had similar levels of performance. This is a tremendous achievement. If you want proper 3D - sans glasses - this is almost certainly how it will happen.
3 fps, 80 scanlines, in the wrong color, against a black background. Genius recreation guys.
You're sending slow-ass plain text from one computer to another and you call this thing ARPANET? Genius idea, guys.
except plays and concerts and live performances usually do their best to simulate 2D in their inherently 3D environment, there's a reason the audience all sits on the same side of the performers and looks at them all from the "front" if 3D were really superior, we'd want to be sitting surrounding the performers, not all on the same side of them.
In your example of the couple kissing while one holds a knife behind their back, on a 2D movie screen we'd get just the perfect angle and timing to see both at just the right moments, on a 3D stage the actors usually do their best to replicate such by turning to intentionally show off the aspects they wish to portray, in contrast to movies the resulting motion, while necessary, often creates a somewhat "fake" feel to the acting which isn't necessary in the 2D plane of movies where the camera can take more genuine acting, and interpret it by moving the viewer instead.
Don't get me wrong, I love going to the theatre and watching real shows, there's an ambience you just can't get on a movie screen. But it's not for the 3D aspect of it. You get a better vantage point for most scenes on a properly shot and directed film than you can on any theatre stage.
I'm getting kind of sick of Kinect "related" news.
It's nothing more than a low res 3D camera - with fairly limited accuracy.
System going down at 5 this afternoon to install scheduler bug.

RENO, NV - A man was startled awake at about 3 AM Tuesday by what he said was a 400-pound bear that broke into his home on Bums Gulch Road off the Mt Rose Highway near Sky Tavern Ski Area.
Washoe Sheriff's Sergeant Morgan Jack said the bear was in his downstairs, had broken through the door and when it saw the man, it took off.
"It did leave it's mark I guess you could say on the porch," Jack said. By the time deputies arrived, the bear was gone. Now the case is being referred to the Nevada Department of Wildlife, because when bears break into houses it becomes a serious concern.

Latest Trend: Zombie Weddings
by Chris Malone
posted Oct 31 2013 4:42AM
Zombie weddings are on the rise, no pun intended. A recent study conducted by wedding website
found that 24-percent of couples threw a theme wedding in 2012, and it seems many of them were horror themed. Diane Forden, Editor-in-Chief of Bridal Guide magazine says, "Couples don't feel as bound to tradition as they once did and are more likely to incorporate personalized themes that reflect their joint interests." She says other reasons couples may throw themed weddings may be a feeling of competition with other couples, or because of finances. Forden says when the recession hit the wedding industry experienced a huge do-it-yourself movement, which made weddings more unique. Forden says, "The zombie trend, for examples, may be a natural extension of creating a unique wedding," but she cautions against bloody costumes for your wedding saying, "In your golden years, do you really want to flip through your wedding album and see blood?"

Pledges and gifts to a capital campaign for North Platte Catholic Schools are nearing the $2 million mark, school officials said Thursday.
The goal is $2.5 million, school endowment director Wendy Dodson said as she requested that pledge cards be returned before Christmas.
"We hope to wrap up campaign efforts before the end of the year so we can begin planning and work on our projects," Dodson said.

Is anyone selling this figure? Looking to buy! Please PM me!
Selling my UNOPENED figure from 2000. PM me with offer if interested~ Pictures upon request. Selling collection on my profile as well. Shipping from US.
Mine came with a purple serial card ( not yellow ) VER.2 , somebody else have this version of the Serial card ? I checked Google and i couldn't find another one.
Just recieved mine from the original batch, Serial Number 1511 / 3000.
Mine was made right after yours (1512).
I'm super paranoid about breaking his sword, but it hasn't happened yet :)
Mona_sama: You can count the Highwind cold cast in that first batch too, though the original numbered release was only limited to 500 pieces, not 3000.
And yeah, Vincent and Tifa ver. 2 were standard releases, and not part of the original set.
My Sephirot has its masamune and one of the frontal pieces of hair (bangs?) broken and glued :'((((((
Just recieved mine from the original batch, Serial Number 1511 / 3000.
Hi there. ^^
I don´t think that a new entry is necessary, Mithos.
As for darkwafs´ question. No, not every figure comes (or came) with a serial number. The first run of Cloud, Cloud+Hardy, Tifa, Yuffie, Aerith and Sephiroth came with one, the second batch (released in 2005?) didn´t had a serial number at all (well, my Cloud+Hardy hadn´t one).
Tifa Ver. 2 and Vincent didn´t had one either, if I remember correctly.
Hope this helps.

Kings: Rollercoaster ride veers to San Jose
By Dan Arritt
Kings (6-4-3, 15 points) vs. San Jose Sharks (7-4-1, 15 points) at HP Pavilion, 7:30 p.m.
Five storylines to track:
1. Colossus II:
Last season was marked byĀextremeĀinconsistency in the win/loss column. The Kings started a franchise-recordĀ12-3-0, then lost seven of their next eight. They went through another hot-and-cold periodĀin December and into mid-January. The Kings appear to be falling into a similar pattern. They began this season 5-1-1 but have fallenĀto 1-3-2 in their last six games, losingĀtheir fourth straight game Saturday night against visiting Pittsburgh. They're aware of theĀearly similaritiesĀto last season,Āmaybe even too much so. A victory against the Sharks would surely ease their minds and get them rolling in the right direction again.
2. Scoreless in L.A.
: What do
Dustin Penner
Drew Doughty
Alec Martinez
Brad Richardson
Trevor Lewis
have in common?ĀBesides their membership with the Kings,Āthey'veĀeach gone without a goalĀthis season. That's a combined 56 games without hitting the back of the net.
Matt Greene
Willie Mitchell
, even
Ethan Moreau
can be excused for not scoring a goal yet this season, but the five players listed above need to find a way to produce on offense if the Kings have a hope of pulling out of their scoring slump sooner rather than later.
Subtle changes:
Kings coach
Terry Murray
adjusted the scoring lines during practice Sunday, moving Penner up to the second line at left wing, dropping
Scott Parse
back to the third line on the right side and moving
Kyle Clifford
up to the third line on the left side. All three players have been under the gun at one time or another this season, and Murray indicated after practice Sunday his main objective for the changes was getting Penner more involved offensively. He has not scored a regular-season goal in the last 24 games. Parse, meanwhile, hasn'tĀproved he canĀconsistently produce with less-skilled players on his line, so this could represent a setback for him.
4. The Big Pavelski
: San Jose right wing
Joe Pavelski
was moved from the third line to the top group this season and the transition is working out well. Pavelski has nine goals and five assists in that role, placing him seventh in the NHL in scoring. Pavelski, who tallied a career-high 66 points last season, has also tormented the Kings in his career, producing 12 goals and 23 points in 28 career games.
5. Handzus effect:
The Sharks signed
Michal Handzus
in the offseason to shore up their penalty-kill unit, which finished 24
out of 30 teams in the league last season (79.6 percent). Handzus, who played for the Kings the last four seasons and was a key member of their penalty-kill units, hasn't helped much, as the Sharks are ranked 29
(72.9). Offensively, Handzus has three points in 12 games for San Jose. The Kings have dropped to 16
in the league in power-play efficiency after sitting in the top 10 earlier this season, so they'll be looking to attack San Jose's soft spot.

What counts as "Jewish art" is a debate as old as Judaism itself—do we mean art by Jewish people, art with Jewish themes, or both? And Jewish culture? Which one? Jews have as many cultures as we have communities in which we've lived, from the Ashkenazi world of klezmer music and Yiddish stories from Eastern Europe, to the rhythmic music of the Abayudaya Jews of Uganda, to the spicy foods of the Mizrachi communities in the Middle East.
We're fortunate that Boston offers a broad variety of Jewish artistic and cultural experiences, giving us opportunities to experience Judaism through many different lenses. Let this page be your guide to the Jewish books, music, film, performances, food, languages and more available in our community.

Learn from SONY: Don't use trash talk in your construction project emails!
Lessons in construction administration come from everywhere — including the SONY scandal.
In case you are a bear hibernating in a cave (in which case, go back to sleep!), you've heard about the SONY hacking that was apparently, but not definitively, done by North Korea due to their displeasure over the movie The Interview. And, you may have found it amusing to read of the inner bickering at SONY, at lease until the threat of a national incident and the (at least temporary) yanking of the movie from its planned Christmas release.
Lost in all of the discussion about taste, censorship, security, and First Amendment rights, however, was a simple lesson for each of us. Never put anything in writing that you wouldn't want to see on the TMZ report, the Wall Street Journal, or the New York Times. For example, don't call one of the biggest stars in your studio (Angelina Jolie) a "minimally talented spoiled brat."
I've written about this before, but this is a fine time to remind you that someday, someone will read your emails. And that someone will not be privy to your internal jokes, quirky sense of humor, or understand that you just had a bad day. If you have to have those awkward conversations– have them in person, or at least on the phone. Don't play around with written communications. Every email, text, tweet, Facebook post, letter, note, or diary entry can be discoverable in a lawsuit.
We've all done it. Sent inappropriate emails. Vents. Laments. Stop. Endeavor to be boring rather than funny in all of your online accounts. You may be only laughing on the inside, but you'll still have a job, respect, and knowledge that there are no hidden documents waiting to shame you at the stroke of a hacker's keyboard. And, tell your employees to do the same.
Do you have an example of getting an inadvertent email or text? Something that could have been embarrassing if it leaked beyond your firm? Share in the comments below.

Turning Manure into megawatts (Swine Farm Biogas Renewable Energy Project)
As I noted in my last post, Withers & Ravenel's Swine Farm Biogas Renewable Energy Project, located in Bladensboro, North Carolina, is one of this year's ACEC Excellence in Engineering Award winners.
I asked the folks at Withers & Ravenel to give share more about their project, how it was conceived, and how it was designed.
Why Swine Farms? What was the genesis of this Project?
North Carolina is "pork proud", with approximately 9 million hogs on farms scattered throughout the eastern part of the State. These farms rely on open pit lagoons and land application for the treatment and disposal of animal waste. However, open-air treatment lagoons have a poor reputation among some lawmakers, residents and environmentalists. They are accused of creating sickening odors, allowing methane to escape into the atmosphere, and contaminating groundwater and streams.
Because of environmental concerns, the State temporarily suspended permitting the construction and operation on any new swine farms utilizing lagoon treatment systems in 1997, and required new farms to meet "environmentally superior technology" (EST) standards. Since the enactment of the suspension, there have been no new hog farms introduced in North Carolina.
Tax Credits, Legislation, and Funding
In 2007, the State passed Senate Bill 3, which pushes the use and development of renewable energy standards, the State took a big step toward encouraging innovative treatment technologies for swine waste by mandating utilities to purchase Renewable Energy Credits (REC) generated from swine waste. The Bill also provides a 35% State tax credit in addition to the Federal 30% tax credit.
Spurred by the availability of the NC Green Business Fund grants from the 2009 American Resource Recovery Act, Withers & Ravenel conceived the 600kW renewable energy project and assembled the project team, which included developer AgPower Partner, Withers & Ravenel engineers, and Barnhill General Contractors.
The project was able to receive over $2 million dollars in grants and tax credits, including a $500,000 grant from the NC Department of Energy and $1.5 million grant from the US Treasury. The Owner, Billy Storms, was able to finance the balance of the project cost through a loan with the Cape Fear Farm Credit Association.
Engineering a Plan for the System
In North Carolina, swine farms flush the houses with water in a closed system with a lagoon providing storage and treatment of waste which is then applied to crops. With this process, the waste is diluted to around 1-2% solids. However, in order to reduce the water content for more efficient temperature control of the anaerobic digestion, the waste needs to be between 5-10% solids.
With the implementation of scraper technology, swine waste volume was significantly reduced by eliminating the added liquid from the flushing system. This made the Storms Farm much less reliant on the volume required in the existing lagoons, reduced the required size of the anaerobic digester, providing benefits to both the waste handling concerns and to energy production. The scraper system also reduced the amount of ammonia gas in the barns, which is beneficial to animal and human worker health.
Most digester systems for swine manure in North Carolina have relied on ambient covered lagoons. However, at Storms Farm, with the scale of a 600 acre farm and swine houses separated by as much as a mile, it was not cost-effective to build and cover a new lagoon to treat the waste using anaerobic digestion. The distance between the 23 barn complex made it problematic to pump waste because of build-up in the pipe known to cause maintenance and failure problems.
After review of viable technologies, Withers & Ravenel recommended DVO Anaerobic Digesters to supply the digester technology for Storms Farm. DVO has an extensive tract record using their patented mixed plug-flow digester technology on dairy farms, but there was no comparable swine waste facilities using mesophilic digestion in the US. Europe has a substantial number of facilities that use swine manure mixed with other substrates, but there was no reliable source of data for the gas yield using solely swine waste substrate.
As a result, Withers & Ravenel took multiple manure samples from local farms and had them tested to help estimate the biogas yield. Even with this data, there was very little information to collaborate the projected biogas yield. After all alternatives were evaluated, the most cost-effective, efficient option was to construct a heated mesophilic digester system with cogeneration and to convert the barns to scraper manure removal systems.
Construction Issues
Geotechnical borings were done and revealed the need to raise the digester above grade due to a high ground water table. This required sloping the backfill around the tank as insulation to maintain the needed 95 degree temperature in the mesophilic process. The report also revealed the need to pre-load the site to avoid potential settling of the digester and cogeneration building. This additional grading and site work was necessary from the original conceptual site plan.
The Digester Operation
The scraper system scraps the waste to a gravity collection system and storage tanks behind each barn. Two vacuum trucks and drivers empty each of the 23 tanks daily to collect the manure collected from each of the barns, drive to the digester facility and empty the manure into the influent pump station.
Manure is pumped into the 1.1 million gallon in-ground concrete digester where the temperatures are maintained above 95 degrees (mesophilic) and the natural occurring anaerobic bacteria destroy the volatile solids, produce the bio-gas containing 65% methane, kill pathogens, and produce a high quality inorganic waste product virtually pathogen and odor free for storage and, eventually, land application as fertilizer. At Storms Farms, about 60,000 gallons of swine waste is processed each day. The biogas is "scrubbed" of corrosive components and combusted in an 845 HP gas driven engine/generator integrated system provided by Martin Machinery, from Latham, Missouri.
The digester produces wastewater that is free of pathogens and odors and removes 90% of the phosphorus and 75% of ammonia nitrogen. The electricity – enough to power over 300 homes – is sold to North Carolina Electric Membership Corp.'s grid network.
Through this design, Withers & Ravenel was able to develop Storms Farm into the largest swine biogas renewable facility in North Carolina, generating 600kW of power with an operating capacity of 95%.
The volume reduction due to the implementation of the scraper system and digestion process has allowed the treated effluent to be returned to one of the existing lagoons, reducing the dependence on the original six lagoons on the site.
Future projects to remove the inorganic solids remaining in the effluent by dewatering and to treat for additional phosphorous and ammonia nitrogen removal are in the planning stages in order to meet the additional requirements of an EST standard farm.
What was the Owner's involvement?
Billy Storms, owner of Storms Farms was instrumental in getting the Project off the ground, through financing the project, through the willingness to change the method of manure management and by accepting the technological challenge of running what is, essentially, a small wastewater treatment and power plant. He was a true partner in the project and was directly responsible for the selection and installation of the manure scraper system in all of the barns, implementing the operations of the truck collection system, the digester and generator systems as part of the farm operations.
What can we learn from this project?
This project demonstrates a method to economically build new swine farms without total dependence on the historical open air lagoon treatment system, and flushing system collection methods, a conversion that is necessary to meet the State EST standards. The system also develops renewable energy meeting the goals in Senate Bill 3 requiring swine waste to be utilized in a percent of the production of renewable energy.
However, because of the cost, risk, and complexity of the project, its applicability may be limited to a handful of existing farms in North Carolina. Larger farms, preferably more than 50,000 animals, are required in order to have the scale to produce the amount of energy to have an economical rate of return on investment.
Thanks, Withers & Ravenel, for the detailed project description. Your turn: Thoughts? Comments? Questions for the team? Shoot me an email or post in the comments below.

Of Bridges, Biofuels, and Buildings (Engineering Excellence Awards)
As I noted earlier this week, the ACEC of North Carolina's Engineering Excellence Awards gala was held last month. 13 amazing projects were awarded recognition, including projects involving environmental and coastal issues, higher education facilities, and government projects.
Each project was important, unique, or challenging in some manner. In my next post, I will highlight one of the most unusual– the Swine Farm Biogas project by Withers & Ravenel. In the meantime, here are all of the winners, which I've loosely sorted into categories:
Coastal & Environmental projects
The Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center, Surf City, NC (Cavanaugh & Associates)
Sea Bright to Manasquan Profile Survey, NJ (McKim & Creed)
American Tobacco Trail Pedestrian Bridge, Durham, NC (Parsons Brinckerhoff)
Mingo Creek Trail, Knightdale, NC (Stewart)
Town of Hillsborough Riverwalk, Hillsborough, NC (Summit Design and Engineering Services)
Swine Farms Biogas Renewable Energy Project, Bladenboro, NC (Withers & Ravenel)
Campus & Higher Education projects

Bats, Water, Soil, and Bridges- an Engineer's dream
Want to know how bats may effect your engineering plans? Want to hear about cool new bridges? Read on.
Over the past month, I've had the pleasure of attending two events hosted by the North Carolina Chapter of the ACEC (American Council of Engineering Companies). The first of these was the Joint Transportation Conference, held in conjunction with the NC DOT. The second was the annual ACEC Engineering Excellence Awards. At both events, I learned interesting information that engineers should know. Today, I will discuss the Transportation Conference, including some new regulations and unusual design methods. I will save the highlights from the Excellence Awards for later this week.
1. It's a cave, it's a bat, it's bats, man! Did you know that your future bridge project may be effected by the Northern Long-Eared Bat? It's true. Right now, the federal government is considering listing the bat on the Endangered Species List, due to the 98-99% mortality rate the bats are experiencing due to "white nose syndrome". Over 1,700 projects in North Carolina could be impacted, including work on bridges, culverts, abandoned buildings, and guardrails–essentially, any activity involving tree clearing, structure demolition/removal, or structure maintenance. On November 26th, 2014, the US Fish and Wildlife Service extended the comment period to discuss the implications of listing the bat on the endangered species list. If the bat is listed, there is no grandfathering of projects. All projects will immediately be required to engage in protective activities. Stay tuned, but be aware that your transportation projects could be effected starting sometime next year.
2. Is that a pirate on your map or is it worse–soil contamination?
At the conference, we also heard from the GeoEnvironmental Section of NC DOT on their geologic symbols for known or potential contamination. Known contamination consists of soil or ground water samples that have been analyzed; or by evidence of such contamination as cracked transformers, battery casings, unusual odors while excavating, or new anecdotal information about past use. Potential contamination, in contrast, is for areas where there is no data, but historical maps or photos which indicate current or assumed past uses of possible contamination, such as gas stations, dry cleaner facilities, auto body facilities, chemical manufacturers, landfills, and manufacturing plants. Both known and potential contamination sites are important for designers, as they consider:
- large cuts, drainage, utilities, or stream relocations in contaminated areas
- selecting chemical resistant construction materials
- additional costs for materials, remediation
- other unanticipated costs or complications
3. Water, water everywhere! We also heard what's new with the Highway Stormwater Program, including the updated Post-Construction Stormwater Program and the companion Stormwater BMP Toolbox manual. To learn more about these programs, check out:
- The NCDOT Stormwater website, which contains useful links; and
- The Highway Stormwater youtube chancel of training videos, which is still in development but will include environmental sensitivity maps, nutrient load accounting tools, and stormwater management plans.
4. Cool, cool bridges One of the highlights of the conference was hearing about some truly unique bridge designs, including:
- The Tappan Zee Hudson River Crossing, in New York, featuring twin-tower cable stayed structures and all electronic toll collection
- Vietnam's Dragon Bridge, a truly working piece of art; and
- The Milton-Madison Bridge Slide, (Indiana/Kentucky) the longest bridge slide in North America. The Milton-Madison Bridge Slide was a feat of engineering design. Using "truss sliding" a new 2,427 foot long truss was moved along steel rails and plates and "slid" into place atop the existing, rehabilitated, bridge piers.
What about you? Did you attend the conference? If so, what insight did you take away? Share in the comments, below.

Don't Let Construction Problems Become Construction Disputes (guest post)
To start our week off right, today we have another important article from guest blogger Christopher G. Hill, LEED AP. Chris is a Virginia Supreme Court certified mediator, construction lawyer and owner of the Richmond, VA firm, The Law Office of Christopher G. Hill, PC. He authors the Construction Law Musings blog where he discusses legal and policy issues relevant to construction professionals. His practice concentrates on mechanic's liens, contract review and consulting, occupational safety issues (VOSH and OSHA), and risk management for construction professionals. [His blog was also one of the first construction law blogs I found and followed, even if he is a Duke alum!] Take it away, Chris!
First and foremost, thanks to Melissa for inviting me back to post here at her great blog. She continues to invite me back despite my being a Blue Devil (and I try not to hold her Tar Heel status against her).
So much of discussion relating to construction law and construction lawyers centers on the litigation of disputes. This discussion comes in many forms from avoidance of such litigation through the early intervention of good counsel prior to getting into a project to what sort of resolution mechanism to use. Another branch of this discussion is essentially the right way to pursue your claim (or as some may read it start the dispute ball rolling). Sometimes a payment bond claim is the best method while others a straight up contractual suit is the best way to go.
Of course, all of this discussion presumes that there will be disputes. While I agree to some degree that in the Murphy's Law riddled world of commercial construction, problems will arise. These problems need not rise to the level of a dispute that requires outside (read court or arbitrator) intervention. A few tips that are easy to write, but admittedly hard to practice at times can hopefully keep problems from blossoming into disputes. I've listed a three big ones here:
- Use "in house counsel." Yes, I know that most of you engineers, architects, commercial general contractors and subcontractors out there aren't big enough to either want or need a full time attorney on the payroll. What I mean by this is that when problems occur (or preferably before doing so), give your friendly local construction lawyer a call. As I learned from my dad, an ounce of prevention and all that. That 10 minute phone call may help avoid many hours of time and bills from your attorney later down the road.
- Build Relationships. This seems like more of a marketing tip, but it is also a risk prevention strategy. I have seen many a potential dispute get resolved with minimal or no intervention on my part simply because the general and subcontractor had a good working relationship. With the right team oriented approach and communication many a jobsite problem can be resolved in the pre-dispute stage. If the two companies don't know each other, this is less likely to occur.
- Communicate Up Front. I know, I beat this drum a lot. Why? Because it's a big deal. Setting the right expectations through proper communication and negotiation on the front end will set the terms of the "deal" and give all involved a guide for how to deal with problems as they occur.
Following these three tips will help you avoid construction disputes and the hefty attorney fees that come with the prosecution of those disputes.
Can you think of other tips that we can add to the list? Let Melissa and me know.
Thanks Chris! As always, you hit the nail on the head (pun intended). For those that don't already follow Chris' blog (and why don't you???), do check it out and show him some blog love. You'll learn a lot, and be glad you did.

More Silver Coins of Great Britain were introduced in the 1500's. The "Shilling" was initially called "Testoon", and worth 12 pence. The testoons were first struck under King Henry VII's reign in 1502. At this time they were not very popular and these are extremely rare today. The testoons were not minted again until King Henry VIII had them reissued in 1544. In 1548, during King Edward VI's reign, the testoon became known as "Shilling". The name "shilling" is probably derived from the Teutonic root "skil" meaning "to divide".
Shilling was originally used only as an accounting term to indicate one twentieth of a "Pound" which was derived from the Latin "Libre". Shillings started being machine milled in 1658 with a weight of about 6.0 grams and ranging between 25 and 26 mm in diameter. As with all of the UK's silver coins they were reduced from sterling to 50% silver in 1920 and 1946 was the end of using silver for circulating shillings.

More Silver Coins of Great Britain were introduced in 1551 during King Edward VI. These include the "Threepence", the "Sixpence", the "Half Crown", and the "Five Shilling" or "Crown".
The threepence silver coins struck in 1551 thru 1800 generally weigh 1.5 grams and are 17 millimeters in diameter. It was signified by a "III" above the king. With the 1817 "Great Recoinage" the threepence was only struck for the colonies and the Maudy Ceremony. It was reduced to 1.4grams weight and a diameter of 16 millimeters. In 1845 the threepence returned to England. In 1921 as with all of the UK's silver coins, the silver content was reduced to 50%. They continued to be minted until 1945. Since the threepence stopped being circulate in England in 1941 most of those minted from 1942–1945 were reclaimed for their silver.
The sixpence struck in 1551 weigh about 3.0 grams with a diameter of 21 millimeters. These were machine milled in 1561 to 1571 and then regularly in 1674 until 1816 when the "Great Recoining" reduced the sixpence to 2.8 grams and a 19 millimeter diameter. The sixpence silver content was reduced from the sterling standard of 92.5% silver to 50% silver content in 1920 and 1946 was the last year the sixpence would be struck with any amount of silver.
The silver "Half Crown" was introduced in 1551 and was sporadically struck over the centuries. In 1947 the silver content was dropped to 50% and discontinued in 1969. Proof silver half crown coins were struck in 1970, which were never legal tender.
The "Five-Shilling", also called the "Crown", was first struck in silver in 1551 and has King Edward on horseback. An interesting note is that these are the first English coins to have the Arabic numerals. The Silver Crown was sporadically minted with a significant absence after 1751 during the wars with France and the United States. In 1797, during King George III's reign, Spanish silver coins were over stamped with a small oval profile of King Georges III's and valued at 4s9d. There are other over stamped coins from that era until 1818. The silver content was reduced to 50% silver in 1920. The last silver crown was struck in 1946 under Queen Elizabeth II's reign, when silver was no longer used in circulation UK coins.
The Silver "Threefarthing" were struck during Queen Elizabeth I's reign between 1561 and 1582. The Silver "Threefarthing" was 14 millimeters in diameter and very thin. They were distinguished by a rose behind the Queen's head.
There were "18 Pence Bank Tokens" and "Three Shilling Bank Tokens" released in order to handle the silver shortage during King George III's reign from 1811 thru 1816. After these conflicts were resolved King George brought about a "Great Recoining" in 1817.
More Silver Coins of Great Britain continue with the three half pence which were issued from 1834 to 1862 for use in their colonies and never used in the UK. Then for domestic use there are the "Florin". The florin was proposed in 1847 as a decimalization of the pound and the tenth pound, and equal to two shillings. These silver coins were the test to see if the public would accept it. It was first minted in 1849. The 1849 florin strikes omitted the traditional "DEI GRATIA" and are commonly called the "Godless Florin". This was corrected on the 1852 dies. The silver florin continued to be struck and in 1927 had its silver content reduced to 50% silver and converted to cupronickel in 1967.
The last silver coin for this article of "More Silver Coins of Great Britain", is the "Double Florin", which is a four shilling silver coin. It has a weight of 22.6 grams and 36 millimeters in diameter. The double florin has the shortest production run of all British coins and struck from 1887 through 1890.
