ate complex materials that can meet a wide range of demands. From an environmental scientist's perspective, there is a need to characterize materials to understand what happens to those materials when they enter the world outside of the laboratory or factory. Although each group is tackling different issues, they are united by a need to characterize the properties and behaviors of complex materials in complex environments.
Ricou was also impressed by the wide range of technologies that are now available for characterizing nanoscale materials. He reiterated the importance of creating a database of technologies, and he stated that instrument vendors should hear more about the challenges facing those who need to better characterize nanomaterials. He would like to see development of the ability to perform spectroscopy on dynamic systems at the nanoscale to better understand how the chemistry of a nanomaterial changes over time, which would benefit many aspects of nanocharacterization.
Richard Conroy said that he came away from the presentations with two questions:
This second question is particularly important from the NIH perspective, because many measurements correlate weakly with outcomes, and thus it is not always clear that the measurements are useful when considering the research that has gone into them. He added that consideration of the question of safety and efficacy is also important, in terms of the comparative effectiveness and safety of nanotechnology-based products versus bulk materials.
Conroy provided a quick overview of some of the funding opportunities at NIH. Part of NIH's current mission is to bridge the life and physical sciences, and, in that regard, he thought the nanomaterial characterization community would be interested in a number of initiatives. Most of the initiatives are funded by NIBIB or the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), with NIBIB focusing more on the clinical side and NIGMS focusing more on basic research. One new initiative is aimed at applying technologies from the physical sciences to life sciences problems. A significant feature of this initiative, the grant review panel includes experts from both NIH and the National Science Foundation (NSF), with the latter providing a physical science perspective to the NIH review process. A partner initiative aims to translate ideas from the physical sciences into the clinical arena.
Another NIBIB initiative is the bioengineering research partnership program that encourages investigators to form a partnership between the life and physical sciences to translate a concept, technique, or tool from the demonstration to the biomedical application phase. NIBIB also offers fellowships that are designed to create time for mid-career researchers in the physical or quantitative sciences to develop projects in the life sciences.
Conroy said that all of the other NIH institutes have similar initiatives, and NIBIB also supports Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grants in the area of bioengineering in nanotechnology.
Characterizing Aggregates—Trading Detail for Utility
Jim Litster said he was amazed by what he heard during the workshop about the ability to measure individual small particles. He added, however, that because the of the nanoparticles in use depends very much on the structures in which they are embedded, there is still a need for techniques that are just as powerful at characterizing the state of dispersion or aggregation. Developing the techniques and instrumentation to attack that problem is the logical next step for the field.
Doug Ray agreed that there is not as much capability in the area of concentrated liquids and solids. He asked, "Is it because it is just really hard and the community is not there yet, or is it because we have elected somehow to not focus in that arena?" He does not know the answer but thinks it is an interesting question to consider.
Mark Barteau added that work in this area might focus on "diagnostic," meaning that it may not be necessary to know all the details of how nanoparticles behave in a matrix. It might be enough now to characterize these complex according to a certain number of reduced parameters or "lumped" parameters. He is aware of some movement in that direction, but the emphasis on incredible levels of detail and expensive instruments does not match the degree found in nanoscale imaging. He wondered, however, if looking at more complex systems at lower levels of detail that are still diagnostic might be where the field makes the biggest impact. Ray added that the atmospheric sciences are starting to move from a more detailed view to one that reduces the amount of information and creates useable models.
Conroy noted that NIH is interested in where the field is going on this matter. He believes that the relevant question relates to how much detail on specific characteristics is needed to predict biological outcomes. Ricou agreed with this idea but stressed the importance of understanding these systems in fine detail to know what is important when trying to predict relevant behavior.
Chemistry and Stability
Levi Thompson pointed out that many of the particles that were discussed at the workshop are semiconductors and

In 2013, international migrants sent $413 billion home to families and friends — three times more than the total of global foreign aid (about $135 billion). This money, known as remittances, makes a significant difference in the lives of those receiving it and plays a major role in the economies of many countries.
India received $72 billion and Egypt $18 billion in 2013.
I liked an interesting point he made. These remittences often include business advice to those relatives in the home country.
This is a great talk if you are interested in economics and global development. It is very important to understand the issues we face in helping billions living in poverty. As he says regulation of small remittences must be reduced. Policies forced by countries like the USA have damaged poor people's lives worldwide with extremely onerous regulation.

My response to a comment by John Green on Reddit
I really really like your work and webcasts (example included below).
This seems to me to make it really difficult on people trying to use judgement. Calling people's actions "extremely paternalistic" if they are not definitely so, I think impedes debate. And I think debate should be encouraged.
When making Kiva loans I do steer away from loans with rates above 40% (I also prefer loans that are geared toward a capital investment that will increase earning power going forward though this is hard – lots of loans are essentially for inventory that will be sold at a profit so a fine use of loans but not as powerful [in my opinion] and new capital investments – say a new tool, solar power that will be resold to users…).
Just like people anywhere, people taking Kiva loans are capable of getting themselves into trouble. Choosing to allocate my lender toward certain loans does not mean I am being paternalistic.
I am not being paternalistic if I chose not to invest in the stock of some company that vastly overpays executives and uses high leverage to do very well (in good times).
I do like the idea of direct cash to people in need. I give cash that way (and in fact did it a long time ago, 20 years, for several years – before any of this new hipster cachet :-). And I still do like it.
While people question the value of a college degree a recent study by the New York Federal Reserve shows a degree is close to as valuable today as it has ever been. The costs to get that value have risen but even with the increased cost students earn on average a 15% annual rate of return on their investment.
Of course, not every student will earn that, some will earn more and some less.
The time required to recoup the costs of a bachelor's degree has fallen substantially over time, from more than twenty years in the late 1970s and early 1980s to about ten years in 2013. So despite the challenges facing today's college graduates, the value of a college degree has remained near its all-time high, while the time required to recoup the costs of the degree has remained near its all-time low.
So a college education is a great investment for most people. This can create a problem however, when people then assume that all they need to do is go to college and they will do well no matter what. The same thing happens in other markets. Real estate has proven to be a great investment. that doesn't mean every real estate investment is good. It doesn't mean you can ignore the costs and risks of a particular investment. The same goes for stocks.
The article, What's the Real U.S. Unemployment Rate? We Have No Idea, provides interesting information on the process for calculating the unemployment rate.
But it also misleads in saying "real US unemployment rate."
As Dr. Deming said: "there is no true value" of any measured process. The results depend on the process which includes the operation definitions used.
Over time the value of a measure (as a proxy measure for some condition you care to monitor) can change.
It is important to update measures to avoid using proxies that lose value.
The unemployment rate certainly has proxy issues. But there is no "true unemployment rate." There are ways to change the process to focus on different things (make the proxy better matched to certain issues). But also it seems to me, unemployment rate needs to have other related measures that are considered in concert with the unemployment rate (such as the labor force participation rate, perhaps some measure of under-employment etc.).
Those paying much attention do use other measures in concert but the last few years I read lots of different people complaining that the unemployment rate doesn't capture various aspects of how the job market is poor (and often claiming the unemployment rate was "inaccurate" as though there was a platonic form of the actual rate divorced from the measure process.

Business should not be allowed to store credit card numbers that can be stolen and used. The credit card providers should generate a unique credit card number for the business to store that will only work for the purchaser at that business.
Also credit card providers should let me generate credit card numbers as I wish for use online (that are unique and can be stopped at any time I wish). If I get some customer hostile business that makes canceling a huge pain I should just be able to turn off that credit card "number."
Laws should be adjusted to allow this consumer controlled spending and require that any subscription service must take the turning off of the payments as cancellation.
For some plan where the consumer agrees up front to say 12 months of payments then special timed numbers should be created where the potentially convoluted process used now remain for the first 12 months.
Also users should be able to interact with there credit reports and do things like turn on extra barriers to granting credit (things like they have to be delayed for 14 days after a text, email [to as many addresses and the consumer wants to enter] and postal notification are sent to the user. Variations on how these work is fine (for example, setting criteria for acceptance of the new credit early at the consumers option if certain conditions are met (signing into the web site and confirming information…).
Better security on the cards themselves are also needed in the USA. The costs of improvement are not just the expenses credit card and retailers face but the huge burden to consumers from abuse of the insecure system in place for more than a decade. It is well past time the USA caught up with the rest of the world for on-card security.
The providers have done a lousy job of reducing the enormous burden of fraud on consumers. As well as failing to deal adequately with customer hostile business practices (such as making canceling very cumbersome and continuing to debit the consumer's credit card account).

Amazon Prepares Online Advertising Program
This is potentially a real risk to Google. The odds of such a huge success it decreases Google's profits are tiny (I think). But there is a real risk that the increase in Google's profits going forward are materially affected by a well done competitor to Adsense.
Adwords is Google's platform for buying ads. Those ads are then displayed on Google's websites and on millions of other websites. Other websites can host ads via the Adsense program. It seems to me what is really at risk is better seen as Adsense business. The business on Google's own websites is not at risk (Google's profit from its sites are double I think all the other sites [via Adsense] combined).
If Amazon took away 10% of what Google's Adsense business 4 years would have been that is likely material to Google's earning. Not huge but real.
Even losing the ads on Amazon's web site is likely noticeable (though not a huge deal, for Google, for many companies it would be significant, I would guess).
There is even the potential Google has to reduce their profitability, on Adsense, to compete – giving web sites a better cut of revenue.
One of the things that annoy me as an investor is how happy the executives are to grant themselves huge amount of pay in general and stock in particular. The love to giveaway huge amounts of stock to themselves and their buddies and then pretend that isn't a cost.
Thankfully the GAAP rules changed a few years ago to require making the costs of stock giveaways show up on official earnings statements. Now, the companies love to trumpet non-GAAP earnings that exclude stock based compensation to employees.
The stock based costs are huge.
SG Securities estimates that corporates bought back $480 billion in stock last year, and then reissued about $180 billion.
The theme of the article is that stock buybacks have declined drastically very recently. There has been a huge bubble recently fueled by the too-big-too-fail bailout (quantitative easing). But don't expect the executives giving themselves tons of stock to decline.
Accounting isn't as straight forward as people who have never looked at it would like to think. While giving away stock is definately a cost, it isn't a cash cost. The cash flow statement is best for looking at cash anyway. And the better your company does the more the free spirited giveaway of stock costs (both in your reduced share of the well performing company and the higher cost to buy back the shares they gave away).
They have excuses that they hire people who are not motivated enough to do their job for their pay so they need to offer stock options as a extra payment. But the main reason they like it is they can pretend that the pay to employees isn't costing as much as it is because we gave them stock options not cash. As if paying $1 billion in cash is somehow more costly than giving away options and then spending $1 billion on buybacks of the stock they gave away.
Options make a lot of sense for small private companies. In a very limited way they can make sense as companies grow. But the practices of executives in huge bureaucracies giving away large amounts of your equity, on top of huge paychecks, is very harmful.

In 2013 the addition to wind power capacity slowed a great deal in most countries. Globally capacity was increased just 13% (the increases in order since 2006: 26%, 27%, 29%, 32%, 25%, 19% and again 19% in 2012). China alone was responsible for adding 16,000 megawatts of the 25,838 total added globally in 2013.
At the end of 2013 China had 29% of global capacity (after being responsible for adding 62% of all the capacity added in 2013). In 2005 China had 2% of global wind energy capacity.
The 8 countries shown on the chart account for 81% of total wind energy capacity globally. From 2005 to 2013 those 8 countries have accounted for between 79 and 82% of total capacity – which is amazingly consistent.
Wind power now accounts for approximately 4% of total electricity used.

Hedge funds seek to pay the managers extremely well and claim to justify enormous paydays with claims of superior returns. Markets provide lots of volatility from which lots of different performances will result. Claiming the random variation that resulted in the superior performance of there portfolio as evidence the deserve to take huge payments for themselves from the current returns is not sensible. But plenty of rich people fall for it.
As I have written before: Avoiding Hedge Fund Investments is One of the Benefits of Being in the 99%.
This is pretty well understood by most knowledgeable investors, financial planners and investing experts. But funds that charge huge fees continue to get away with it. If you are smart you will avoid them. A few simple investing rules get you well into the top 10% of investors
- seek low fees
- diversify – pay attention to risk of portfolio overall
- limit trading (low turnover)
- use tax advantage accounts wisely (in the USA 401(k)s and IRAs)
From a personal finance perspective, saving money is a key. Most people fail at being decent investors before they even get a chance to invest by spending more than they can afford and failing to save, and even worse going into debt (other than to some extent for college education and house). Consistently putting aside 10-20% of your income and investing wisely will put you in good shape over the long term.
Options can be used as an aggressive strategy to make money with investments. By following news events for quite a few different companies you can put yourself in the position to act when stories break, or events occur which can cause mini trends in their stock price.
Volatile stocks with frequent news provide the opportunity to make money on large changes in price. Amazon is a company an Amazon that often makes headlines. Recently, they have been in the news quite a bit, and savvy binary options traders have been cleaning up.
Binary options are a type of option in which the payoff can take only two possible outcomes. The cash-or-nothing binary option pays some fixed amount of cash if the option expires in-the-money while the asset-or-nothing pays the value of the underlying security.
For example, a purchase is made of a binary cash-or-nothing call option on Amazon at $320 with a binary payoff of $1000. Then, if at the future maturity date, the stock is trading at or above $320, $1000 is received. If its stock is trading below $100, nothing is received. An investor could also sell a put where they would make a payoff if the conditions are met and have to payoff nothing if the conditions are not met.
Examples of big news in the recent past
Amazon Fire Cell Phone – Earlier this year, we watched as Jeff Bezos unveiled the new Amazon Fire 3-D cell phone. As happens in most cases when a company unveils a great new product, we saw this cell phone cause Amazon's stock price to go through the roof. So, as a trader, seeing the unveiling happen first hand would indicate that the value of Amazon was going to rise, and give the trader unique opportunity to make trades on realistic expectations with this asset.

The top 25 places we think should be on every traveler's radar this year.
MoreRemember that rates are less expensive in summer—late April to the end of September—though Luxor has less dramatic variations than Aswan since tourism is strong year-round. Almost all hotels include breakfast in their rates, and some offer meal plans. Most hotels arrange transportation from airport to hotel if requested. If you choose to stay at a place that doesn't have a pool,
be aware that many hotels open their pools to nonguests for a small fee (around £E50). In Luxor, the splendid Club Med includes a beverage in its pool fee, the Sheraton is on a peninsula extending into the Nile, and the Hilton has a peaceful Nile-side garden and pool.

Portrait of devotion: A memorial tribute to late Craig resident Dan McIntyre
Monday, April 9, 2012
"He felt blessed because he was more fortunate and he was happy to give it back."
— Justin McIntyre, of Craig, about his father Dan McIntyre's service to the St. Michael's Community Kitchen meal program
Dan McIntyre wasn't the kind of man to seek prestige and notoriety.
The Craig resident didn't hold elected office, and he wasn't a fixture in places of power.
Although he served a term on the Craig Daily Press editorial board, he didn't gauge his life against the fickle standards of public opinion.
Instead, the retired U.S. Forest Service engineer and Vietnam veteran made a mark in a more personal arena.
He doted on his children and grandchildren and showered them with handmade wooden toys every Christmas, his wife Betty said.
He was a parishioner at St. Michael Catholic Church and was a cornerstone of St. Michael's Community Kitchen, a twice-weekly meal program, delivering hot lunches and dinners to the homebound.
His volunteerism didn't put him in the limelight, but it helped define who he was: generous, friendly and always willing to help.
"He couldn't seem to do enough for people," said Robin Schiffbauer, a Community Kitchen volunteer.
On a recent afternoon, his family remembered the father, husband and volunteer whose death April 2 at age 63 left a void in their lives.
"He was fun," said Betty, 59. "He was easy to get along with.
"We made a good team, I guess."
Their son, Justin McIntyre, 37, wiped tears from his eyes as he remembered his father's guidance.
"He showed me how to be a man," the Craig resident said.
Dan and Betty's daughter, Carmen Edmonds, of Stephens City, Va., recalled her father's attentive care as a parent that extended to her daughters, Danielle, 13, and Lanie, 11.
"He read to us," said Carmen, 39. "He popped us popcorn. He bought us the things that mom wouldn't. He came to our games."
Dan's work ethic was rivaled only by his love of life, his family said, and he offered his help as easily as he did a smile.
"He felt blessed because he was more fortunate and he was happy to give it back," Justin said about his father's service to the Community Kitchen.
Dan was an integral part of the program from the time it began in December 2010, and he organized routes used to deliver hot meals to as many as 50 residents at a time, Schiffbauer said.
"He really, truly believed in this program," she said. "He was very, very devoted to it."
During his deliveries, Dan would offer to help the homebound with tasks as simple as changing a light bulb, Betty said.
"Every time somebody needed a favor, he'd go back and do it later after the meals were delivered," she said.
Schiffbauer wasn't surprised, she said. That was the kind of person Dan was.
Perhaps it's fitting that the final tribute to Dan's life will be offered in the church where he gave so much of his time.
A mass of Christian burial will take place at 10 a.m. today at St. Michael Catholic Church, 678 School St., with interment following at Craig Cemetery. A dinner will take place at the church after the service.
The words that best describe Dan — caring father, devoted husband, committed volunteer — may not be the ones ascribed to power or prestige.
But they convey who Dan was and the profound impact he left on those who knew and loved him.

I'm assuming that there will be no active investigation of GitHub unless Horvath files a lawsuit. To me, I'm curious about the liability of the company because of TPW's wife's actions (IF TRUE). From :
"She says that the wife of the founder continued to show up at the office, sit next to her and "glare" at her for extended periods of time "as if trying to provoke a reaction."
"HR eventually asked the wife to not be on the same floor as Horvath. But according to Horvath's recount, "she continued to find her way in and plant herself right next to wherever I was working." This continued until her exit from the firm this past Thursday."
Private conversations are going to come down to she-said-she-said, but what about this psycho behavior? GitHub has to be at fault for SOMETHING here...

So I agree with just about everything you are saying here. I shouldn't have used the term "standard"--how about "best practices?"

I bought a new home. It was built in 1996. Electrical energy use seems much higher than my previous house of about the same size. Is there an easy way to isolate where the energy is going? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by texasredhead (My Page) on Tue, Jan 11, 11 at 8:29
Haven't a clue where you live. A lot of things effect energy use. Different provider with higher rates. Less energy effecient windows and doors. Any idea of insulation rates in various areas of the home. Perhaps you did things to your old home to mediate energy use. Just guesses with very limited information. |
I live near Nashville, TN. My other home was a two story home. Total about 3000 sq ft. This is a single story home about 3000 sq ft. Other home had flat 9' ceilings. This one has 10' - 12' ceilings. Many tray ceilings and cathedral ceilings too. I did nothing special building the other home. Pretty much about 8.5" fiberglass blown insulation. This has the same, but areas between the tray ceilings and eaves have almost no insulation. Appears the really did not try to cover these areas. In some places I see the drywall ceiling. I know this is obvious, but just trying to understand the other potential issues. Power rates are the same for both homes. Both are heated with gas and cooled with electrical AC. Both homes were built about 1996. |
I'd recommend finding an insulation contractor to tighten up the attic insulation. Otherwise, your new house has twice the ceiling area, so I'd expect it to perform poorly in comparison. There aren't many details here, but on first glance, I don't believe this is related to electrical efficiency or malfunction. |
I thought the same thing. I have an estimate from a contractor. Seems reasonable, but not really sure what depth of insulation I should be asking for. He was basically talking of adding another 8.5" to the current 8.5". |
You should ask him what R value that will give you and what R value is recommended for your area. Higher R value is better, but there are diminishing returns once you get above the recommendation. If you really want to find where the power is going, you can do it systematically. Turn off all the circuits. Turn one on. Check the meter to see if/how much it is moving. Turn that back off. Repeat. Really though, there are about a million things that impact electricity usage. You might want to google search energy efficiency etc There are lots of things you can do to maximize efficiency - keep fridge coils clean, replace HVAC filters to reduce strain on blowers etc. There is probably no silver bullet, but lots of little tweaks can add up to significant dollars. |

I was trying to gauge the cost(for natural gas) when my furnace has run(consumed gas) for an hour's time. I did it two ways. First I just took the BTU input rating of the furnace and did the calculations from there. Then someone pointed out that the BTU input rating may not be an actual value. So secondly I needed to determine the amount of gas my furnace is actually consuming per hour. Here are the particlars: FIRST WAY USING BTU INPUT RATING: 1.One cubic foot of natural gas has about 1,030 BTU. 2.Divide the furnace input rating(in my case 100,000) by 1030 to get the number of cubic feet of gas the furnace will use in one hour. So 100,000(BTU) divided by 1030(BTU per Cubic Foot) is about 97 Cub Feet. 3.My supplier's bill is based on units of one hundred cubic feet(CCF) so I divide 97 cubic feet by 100 to determine how many CCF the furnace will burn per 4.My supplier charges $.745 per CCF so it costs me 0.97 times $.745 = $.72 per hour for natural gas for my furnace to run. SECOND WAY BY DETERMINING ACTUAL GAS CONSUMPTION: As stated above someone pointed out that the BTU input rating may not be an actual value. So I wanted to determine how much gas the furnace was consuming per hour. My gas meter has a 2 cubic foot dial. I set a video cam in front of the gas meter in the morning knowing the furnace would be on for at least 20 minutes to bring the house up to temperature from the night's setback. The furnace did run for about 20 minutes but I stopped my readings at 10 minutes. Here are some findings: So 15.2 cubic feet of gas in 10 minutes extrapolated out to 60 minutes would be 91.2 cubic feet gas per hour or 0.912 CCF/hr. At $.745 per CCF the cost is about $.68 per hour. Now some Notes: 2. No other gas consuming appliances(oven, stovetop or hot water heater) were firing at the time of testing. 3. I understand that outside temp, thermostat setting and how well my home is insulated are factors as to HOW OFTEN the furnace will run. That wasn't my concern. I only wanted to know how much gas was consumed when the furnace ran for an hour. How that hour was achieved was not important. It could of been 60 continuous minutes or six 10-minutes cycles. In my case I took a 10 minute run cycle and multiplied that amount of gas usage by 6. I have since I've hooked up the following 24V hour meter to the gas valve: http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/REDINGTON-Hour-Meter-2PPV9?Pid=search The meter progresses in tenths of an hour increments anytime the gas valve is open. I can tell how long the furnace runs each day, month or season. This helps with filter changes also. I've found that about every 125 hours the filter is dirty enough to be replaced. I appreciate the comments. |

If your gas furnace is forced air, the impeller is run by electricity. So you are not only paying for the gas to the furnace but electricity to run the fan. |
- Posted by jaysgarden (My Page) on Tue, Jan 11, 11 at 16:48
I know but the point of my invest was to discover how much gas the furnace consumed per hour. Gas consumption is not affected by the inducer fan motor or blower fan motor |
sjmaye- I'm not going to bore you with a lesson in thermodynamics, but trust me on this: adding 8.5" of insulation to 8.5" of insulation will do little to improve energy efficiency. It would probably cut your bill by 1-2%, because that first 8.5" is already cutting your heat loss by a huge amount. However, putting in insulation where you have little or none will make a big difference. Here's a rough example (not exact, but close enough): Think of your house as a big styrofoam container filled with water, and with some small holes in it: the water won't pass through the solid part of the container, but it will readily flow out of the small holes. It's the same with your heat loss. Also, do you know how well the walls and floor are insulated? If they skimped on that, or missed a few areas, you could be losing large amounts of heat that way, too. While it is true that a single story house will typically lose more heat than a two story house of the same square footage, I think you can cut way down on your heat loss if you get the house properly insulated. So, before you waste money having some guy come in and indiscriminantly dump a lot more insulation in the attic, you need to determine where the house most needs it. See about getting an energy conservation firm to come out with an infrared scanner. This will give you a visual confirmation of areas in the house (floor, walls, and attic) where the insulation is lacking. It will cost a couple of hundred bucks, but it will also help you figure out where to insulate more and where not to over-insulate. You may need to add more to the walls in some areas, for example, but that can be blown in with minimal damage if you just know where. |
My local power company has an energy saving program where they come in and do a whole house evaluation along with recommendations. I am going to call them today. |

Texas Utilities, (TXU), has a program where a group of 5 or 6 men come in and do the following; caulk all of your air ducts where they come through the ceiling, completly reseal exterior doors and put on new threshold seals, rebuild and seal your return air and pull off every swith and receptacle plate and put insulation under each one. The crew was here for five hours and it was completly free. They pulled off our round air vents and there were major gaps where the air ducts come through the ceiling. They sealed all of the gaps and reinstalled the grills. They spent two hours resealing our return air system. In addition, some years ago we had all of our windows replaced with vinyl thermopane double hung windows. Bottom line, we live in good old hot Texas, in a 3,000 sq. ft. ranch and our highest bill in the hottest months is around $250. |
sjmaye- That's an excellent idea. I actually thought to mention that, but I was posting at about 2 in the morning and I don't think all my brain cells were firing! Good luck, and please post back afterwards. I'd love to hear what they say. |
"My local power company has an energy saving program where they come in and do a whole house evaluation along with recommendations. I am going to call them today.:" Unless the fixes they do are related to the high use it may not make any difference. Losses from the heating envelope can be a cost driver, but there are plenty of other things that can drive up electric usage. |

The case or two of good caulk and case of spray foam is in order before any additional insulation is even considered. Here are a few steps. Have someone do an audit and actually look at the infrared images yourself and best yet get pics for later use. Seal every seam and connection in the air duct system with brush on mastic or mastic tape.. no regular foil tape as it does not stick or seal long term. Seal every hole in the floor where a drain or water line goes through and every wire from the basement or crawlspace with foam or caulk. Do the same thing in the attic before adding insulation. The first step to efficiency is stop the air movement. Now would be the time to think about adding insulation and where to add it. If you like watching your electric usage I highly recommend the T.E.D. 'The energy detective. It is a device that you clamp CT's around your main cables in the breaker box and two more hots and a ground. The other portion of the system plugs into an outlet by your computer that you plug an ethernet cable off your computer or router into and access how much energy that you are using and have used along with end of month projections. |
Here is a link that might be useful: The Energy Detective
I have the home energy audit scheduled for Feb 3. May need to reschedule due to work travel. I like what a previous poster said their energy company did in having, for free, people come in sealing ducts etc. Mine audit is different. Have to pay $150 at time of audit. If you do any of the recommendations you get the $150 back and 50% of the cost of the work performed as long as it is done by one of the TVA certified contractors. I was going to the insulation done anyway, so no loss. Max rebate is $500 + the $150 for the audit. |

Comcast Not Counting Their Video Service Against Bandwidth Cap
Where does this end? (284 comments)
Would this be akin to having General Electric owning your electric company then saying that they won't charge you for the electricity used to power G.E. branded toasters and dishwashers (hello "smart grid")? Of course non-G.E. branded appliances would be charged as normal, or at a higher rate.

Captain Phillips' premieres at NY festivalBy JAKE COYLE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | September 30,2013AP PHOTO
Tom Hanks, left, and Capt. Richard Phillips of Vermont attend the world premiere of Captain Phillips during the opening night of the 51st New York Film Festival on Friday in New York.NEW YORK Tom Hanks has had enough of playing real people.
In Paul Greengrass docudrama Captain Phillips, which premiered Friday as the opening night film of the New York Film Festival, he plays Richard Phillips, the captain of a cargo ship famously taken by Somali pirates in 2009.
Earlier this year, Hanks made his Broadway debut playing New York journalist Mike McAlary in Nora Ephrons Lucky Guy. And later this year, he stars as Walt Disney in Saving Mr. Banks, about the making of Mary Poppins.
I got to get out of this racket, Hanks said sheepishly ahead of the Friday night premiere. Its killing me.
Captain Phillips, which is expected to be a major contender in Hollywoods awards season, debuted at the NYFF to enthusiastic reviews and particular acclaim for Hanks performance.
But playing real-life people comes with various pressures of authenticity. Verisimilitude is a primary aim for Greengrass, who made the true-life tales United 93 and Bloody Sunday with similar documentary-like realism.
Hanks met several times with Phillips at his Vermont home to help prepare for the role.
You dont want to be an idiot, said Hanks. You dont want to ask, What were you feeling? What was it like? What were you feeling? Are you a hero? you know, ask questions like most journalists do when the time comes.
The crowd, composed largely of members of the media, roared.
Captain Phillips opens in theaters Oct. 11. The 51st New York Film Festival, which also will feature the premieres of Spike Jonzes Her and Ben Stillers The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, runs through Oct. 13.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Gov.

How to Fold an Origami Heart Envelope
This origami tutorial reminds me of the notes I use to write in school. Do you remember writing notes with loose leaf and folding them into shapes? We would pass them secretly, as they contained important secrets, such as the latest crush or who kissed who. I don't think kids in school pass notes anymore, they probably just text. Folding notes will probably become a lost art.

Bright KidsJack's StoryJack seemed to be a typical albeit challenging infant. He was a poor sleeper and rarely took naps. He was a strong healthy newborn weighing 9lbs 3oz. at birth and was born in Sydney, Australia Nov 2003. Jack developed normally but did not respond well to verbal communication attempts. By 18 months he only had a few sound approximations mixed with under 10 words. By 24 months that had not changed and we began to have concerns about possible hearing loss due to constant ear infections. Jack had also developed issues with eating, having only a very select diet but no allergies. Read Full Story |

Lyman-Morse honors longtime employee
Posted onLyman-Morse Boatbuilding recently dedicated a building to Bill Belyea to honor his 30 years of service with the company.
The Renaissance Yacht Building will now be known as the Belyea Building.
Belyea joined Lyman-Morse in March 1982 as a carpenter and steadily rose through the company. He now serves as director of production, managing all new boat construction and major refits.
Belyea broke a bottle of champagne across the front of the building to celebrate its "launch." It currently serves as a refit and storage space, and it houses the company's canvas fabrication shop.
"It was important to recognize someone who has been with me side by side for 30 years. Together we have watched our kids grow up, lived through good and bad times, but most of all, we have built some very good boats together," said Cabot Lyman, founder and owner of Lyman-Morse, in a statement.
Thomaston, Maine-based Lyman-Morse produces custom sailing yachts and custom motoryachts.

I know I will so might as well put that in the subject line. I'm guessing the year was either 1931 or 32. How I'm dating it is because most little boys didn't get to wear long dress pants until their 6th birthday. We had to put on the dreaded narrow strap elastic harness over our shoulders and have a strap hang down to our thighs so the hated heavy beige long stockings could fasten on and hold them up. And that is what I wore for this incident. Obviously I wasn't 6 yet. Oh, I had bib overalls and even a pair of long denim pants but for church or when we went anywhere the hated short pants and harness were brought out. Digression #1 Grandma had an aged aunt, I thought impossibly ancient but probably no older than I am now. I never heard her called anything but "auntie". No first or last name, I don,t even know where she lived but it was about an hours drive in our 1928 Whippet since grandad never went over 35 mph, if he happened to get up to 40, grandma would always ask "why are we going so fast?". I guess because they grew up in the horse and buggy days and that was the speed she liked best. Would have been a fast horse at that speed though. We had to go see "auntie" ttwice a year and I know I wore short pants then. Problem, I was supposed to sit on a straight back chair, not cross my legs or speak or wiggle when we were in "aunties" house. She had never married and apparently was fairly well off. There was a woman that lived with her named Bea. I thought she was nameed after a bug but later found out her name was Beatrice McGlumphy. That kind of ruined it, I liked the bug name better. Anyway, if she was supposed to keep "auntie" bathed and her dresses washed, I didn't think that the house or "auntie" smelled very good. Remember sitting squirming as little as possible , hearing"auntie" complain about everything. I had a brilliant idea, most houses lacked indoor plumbing and a polite way to say I have to go was I have to go outside. Grandad quickly said"I'll go with him". Heard "auntie" say "not very well mannered is he? When grandad and I went out the door he said"you really didn't have to go did you" I agreed and we took a slow walk around the block before going back, hoping grandma was ready to go. She fortunately was ready to leave but she asked us why it took so long outside. She already knew why.I suppose the above is a way to date when I got my first long pants later that year. Grandma didn't believe in zippers so they had to have a button fly but can remember how proud I was wearing my first long dress pants. Hope the above didn't put you to sleep. Never went to "aunties" again. |

What a wonderful story and you tell it so well. I can "see" the scenes through your writing. Thanks so much for sharing. I hope you are working on some more digressions. |
Loved reading another of your true stories. Give us more. |

Love your story, it reminded me of a couple of boys in my neighborhood and that we poor girls did not even have the luck of looking forward to long pants and socks, but had to suffer the long stockings for years to come. |
George, what a great story; your attention for the 'little' details --or 'digressions', as you call them-- is what give it--and all your stories--such great appeal. As always, thanks for sharing them with us. PLEASE share some more! |

Such wonderful memories! It was really uncomfortable for boys having to put up with the awful short pants- DH told me that in Long Island NY, where he grew up, boys his age (10) were wearing short pants. His parents moved to California and he went to school in "proper" school attire, and all the boys were making fun of him, they all wore long pants. His parents, thrifty conservative Swiss, tried to get him to not bother, but they finally realized he needed to conform. Hard lesson, this. |
Put me to sleep? Heck no. I love it. I remember having to clean out Aunt Kitty's house after her husband died (why oh why can't I remember his name even if it was 30+ years ago? Phillip I think). They must've been in bad shape a long time because it smelled horrible! I realize, many years later, it was probably rotting food because that smell can take me back so quickly! She was disabled to the point of being unable to talk or move anything but her arms. It's no wonder it was in such disarray. Funny how much aromas can take you back. Mine was wearing anything with a heel, not allowed until we were 12. I never really cared about makeup (some girls sneak it out of the house) until much later. But the first pair of "heels", oh my. Probably a whole inch high. |

Digressions most welcome! I love hearing how life was for my parents and grandparents. Thank you for taking the time to write. |
George, love your stories. You are a treasure. |
Always like to read your stories, George. Keep them coming:-) |
What a great memory you have! If you can find the census records on line, and know the last name of your grandmother before she married, most likely you can find who you aunt was. Your grandmother's aunt would have been the generation of her mother and father.. Their obituaries or a family bible might provide the names of their parents. The 1890 census burned before it got published, but the 1880 and the 1900 census might show your grand parents living in their parent's homes, and tracing them back might give you your great grands in their homes and name their siblings. |

Well it has been raining today and although you would expect it to dampen spirits, I am seeing quit the opposite frame of mind amongst most of the guests. The outbound crowd on the plane today had an average fish weight of 50lbs. per person! Many of our guests caught their limits on both Chinook and halibut. As they boarded the plane, I spotted Logan Luft in the crowd. Logan from Washington State, USA broke this year's resort record today with his 31.8lb. Chinook! I was happy to award Logan a catch of the day hat along with a Captain's pin. Welcome to the club Logan.
Off to find a boat to go fishing on!

Pocket knives are way too obvious when out in the open, which is why the more discreet Gentleman's Hidden Knife is a far better option—and it looks amazing.
The Gentleman's Hidden Knife looks a lot like something that Patrick Bateman from American Psycho would carry if he decided that a simple shanking would do to suppress his homicidal rage. This silver piece is a fold-out stainless steel blade that's incredibly suave and slick. It's 3-3/8" in length when folded, so it's perfectly travel-friendly. Other than it's portability, it hardly looks like a weapon at all when it's exposed.
The Gentleman's Hidden Knife is one of the cooler pocket knives I've seen. It's simple and surprisingly elegant in its form.

Avalanche off day: Calvin Pickard No. 1 in NHL save percentage, No. 7 in GAA
RALEIGH — It's off to Florida today to catch up with the Avalanche … well, sort of.
Colorado isn't practicing today on the off day between the 3-2 shootout loss to Carolina and the meeting with the Florida Panthers Thursday night, so I won't be seeing the team until the morning skate in Sunrise.
I just finished an off-day story on goalie Calvin Pickard, who had 44 saves against Carolina, and his curious situation. Here's a guy who as of this afternoon (Eastern Time) is leading the NHL in save percentage (.936) and is seventh in goals-against average (2.18).
The story has been posted online here and will be in the morning paper.
He's behind only behind St.Louis' Brian Elliott (1.95), Nashville's Pekka Rinne (1.95), Winnipeg's Michael Hutchinson (2.00), Detroit's Jimmy Howard (2.11), Chicago's Corey Crawford (2.15) and Pittsburgh's Marc-Andrew Fleury (2.16).
Said center John Mitchell, who had one of the goals against Carolina: "Picks has played unbelievable. Every time he gets called up here, he puts forth his 'A' game all the time." Read more…
