Shades of Green
How does someone who is interested in Green Building get started? I was involved in helping to develop NARI's green building education program. We had a similar problem when we tried to organize and sort out a clear approach to learning about building "green." The issue we faced is similar to the one that all people or organizations face when looking at the topic: where do you start?
Green Building is an ever growing topic with literally millions of pieces of information to be discovered. Our task force group spent many hours devoted to discussing how to approach the topic. As we sorted out how we wanted to approach the topic, the obvious starting point was the planning and design phase of a job.
We brainstormed questions that a good designer would ask as he or she approached a project. The very first question that should be asked is: are your clients interested in green concepts for their home? It is quite possible they are interested but have no idea how to approach the issue. This client will most likely take more time to educate on the subject and may or may not want to invest in the final outcome. However, I do feel it is our responsibility as builders and designers to be able and willing to educate our clients about the pros and cons of Green Building.
Questions can center around the indoor air quality of the home, comfort, energy use, savings or all of the above. For most people this will trigger more questions and give the remodeling professional a great opportunity to distinguish themselves as knowledgeable and capable leaders in the movement towards more environmentally conscious building practices.
Simple questions potential customers might ask include: are there temperature differences between rooms? Do you feel drafts from under cabinets, at windows, standing near the tub in a bathroom? Other considerations that designers need to ask themselves at this point are: how many people live in the house? How many pets and what kind? Is moisture an issue? Do the windows have condensation? Are there water stains in the house?
Depending on where we as building professionals are entering the process, we can then move into the design phase. This will allow us to incorporate a number of Green concepts into the project. If we are entering the process after the plans are complete, we can work with the existing design to "green it up." It is very possible to apply a great deal of energy-saving and interior design ideas to most remodels. The only catch in all this is that the designer and the builder need to be aware of the areas where Green Building techniques can be applied and where the customer can see these choices as beneficial to their project.
How to begin the green process
The question you might ask is: how do I do this? I don't know anything about building science, fly-ash or low-VOC paint. There are many paths to understand these concepts. Local Green Building classes, associations such as NARI, local utilities classes, conferences such as ACI or West Coast Green, the Internet, books, magazines and partnerships with other professionals are just a few of the ways that you can start to gain a clear understanding of Green Building.
One method to jumpstart this process is to sign up for NARI's Green Education Program. The program covers a wide spectrum of topics that will give you a good overview of how to build Green. These topics include: Introduction, Application problem solving/ Site Planning, Basic Building Science, Indoor Environmental Quality, Deconstruction vs. Demolition, Foundations, Structural Framing, Roofing, Insulation, HVAC, Electrical, Renewable Energy, Appliances, Plumbing, Exterior Finishes, Interior Materials and Finishes, Landscaping and Marketing Your Green Business. The program is offered by NARI as a teleseminar and we will launch both east coast and west coast versions soon. It is currently an education program with plans to be a certified program within the year. This is a great way to familiarize yourself with how green building fits into every phase of construction on each job, from the initial design to the final landscaping. We recently completed a pilot program with participants from across the country. We were aware in the development process that "regions" would play a part in how different topics were presented. One of the more interesting parts of the program was asking how the building process was different in the various parts of the country. After integrating vital information from professionals in varying climate zones, we came away with what we hope is a comprehensive and universally applicable curriculum for the class.
The energy was exciting and I truly believe after being a part of the development and presentation of this program that I learn as much as a presenter as I do when I'm a participant.
One other great way to get started is to partner with local experts. In our location we have a great resource in Matt Golden with Sustainable Spaces (http://www.sustainablespaces.com). He has put together a team of experts who can diagnose, suggest the appropriate solution and implement it if you want. His company offers a "Green-Up" building service which comprises of a three hour test and a comprehensive report that deals with the issues you or your customer might have with a home. Look for these partners at association meetings: ACI workshops,(Affordable Comfort Inc. http://www.affordablecomfort.org ) or EEBA ( http://www.eeba.org ). Both of these sites have links and information that can be valuable resources for all. You can also check in with experts in the field. Most will be happy to share their knowledge with you.
My library of books is rapidly growing. There are many that are wonderful and full of great information. "Builder's Guide" written by Joseph Lstiburek, Ph. D P.Eng. is part of a series of books that have been written for the four major climate zones in the US with a fifth book coming out soon for the Marine Climate. "Green Remodeling: Changing the World one Room at a Time" by David Johnston and Kim Master, and "Residential Energy: Cost Savings and Comfort for Existing Buildings" by John Krigger and Chris Dorsi are great resources that I have personally found helpful. One effective website that I've come across is "Green Building Guidelines: Meeting the Demand for Low-Energy Resource-Efficient Homes". (http://www.eere.energy.gov/buildings/building_america)
It is critical that we present ourselves as educated professionals in anything we bring to our business and our customer. The area of green building is no exception. We would be doing a great disservice to our customers to "throw money" at problems they might be experiencing. On a site visit, if the client says that they have a 100K BTU FAU but are still cold, should they install a 150K BTU FAU unit? Questions like this beg us to start thinking outside of our normal way of going about the construction process. In other words, we aren't just there to ask them to sign on the bottom line. If we are put in a position to sell or not sell our client brand new windows without knowing what the other issues are in the house, are we really helping them make the best decisions in the end? Above all, education is the key to knowing the answers to these questions.
As we begin to implement these items, how do we know how green our projects are? We can use a third party rater to check our project for compliance. We can download a self-assessment test online to check our job beforehand. (stopwaste.org) This is a handy tool to design with and to keep our product consistent. Areas of significant focus include demolition and how much of our job is recycled or reused, foundation, are we using fly-ash (derived from burning coal, fly ash is a valuable additive that makes concrete stronger, more durable and easier to work with), structural framing, are we using "Advanced Framing Techniques" FSC certified wood, I joist, SIP's, and where it is appropriate to use recycled lumber for non-structural applications. Exterior finishes can be greener using FSC certified wood, or by using fiber-cement siding materials. Green plumbing application include: water heater jackets or tankless heaters, pipe insulation, re-circulation pumps with timers or aqua stats, and replacing toilets with ultra low flow units. Electrical applications might include: installing compact fluorescent bulbs, air sealed recessed cans, lighting control systems, and using whole house fans to replace air conditioning (where climate appropriate). Another simple way to be more in tune with green building is to install only Energy Star appliances. Insulation might comprise of upgrading to exceed energy code requirements and using alternate insulation products like cotton or spray foam. Applying green practices and products when dealing with window choice might include double pane installation as well as low-E coatings. You might also want to include specific window coatings based on the orientation of the home. Heating and air-conditioning is a much abused area that has many opportunities for improvement. You can use duct mastic on all joints, install duct work within the conditioned space, use sealed combustion furnaces and water heaters, venting fans and hoods to the outside, use load calculations to size HVAC units, install a separate garage exhaust fan, as well as heat recovery ventilation units. Renewable energy might include pre-plumbing for and installing solar thermal, pre-wiring for a photovoltaic (PV) system, installing a radiant barrier in the roof, using a cool roof, incorporating passive solar heating, installing overhangs or awnings on south facing windows, and planting deciduous trees on the west and south sides of the property. Indoor air quality is huge and with some carefully thought out finishing selections, we can positively affect our clients' health. You can utilize low or no VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) paints, no or low VOC adhesives, engineered sheet goods with no added Urea-formaldehyde, seal all exposed particle board or MDF, install a whole house vacuum system, use FSC certified wood flooring, use "recycled content" tile, and install natural linoleum in place of vinyl. You can also install "recycled content" carpet with low VOCs.
There is certainly a lot to pay attention to but once you are aware of green possibilities through education and a little experience, it will all become a part of your routine approach to a job.
Even without all the technical expertise, its possible to start thinking and doing like a green professional right away. Whenever you come across new information or updates on what you already knew, educate your staff. Make this an ongoing process throughout the year. If you make this a habit, your knowledge will grow exponentially and your company will move closer to becoming a full partner in the green building process. Another quick way to get started is to recycle, if you aren't already doing so. Begin with the paper and cardboard in your office and move towards recycling 75 to 80 percent of what comes out of your demolition. On the job, you can use low VOC glues and paints as well as formaldehyde free materials (insulation). Looking for more ways? How about making sure to air seal everything, seal ducts, encourage the purchase and use of Energy Star appliances, use advanced framing concepts and with this, sustainable harvested wood whenever possible. If you're feeling really adventurous, then why not expand into the plumbing phase of your project by using low flow and water saving plumbing devices. You could also install sealed combustion gas fired units whenever possible to add to your green builder's arsenal.
In the NARI program, a Green Remodeling professional is described as: "A remodeling professional who considers sustainability and maximizing nature's resources and energy in an efficient and responsible manner in the conduct of their business." The goal of the program is to be inclusive of the entire construction process, from the design to the construction to the final finishing phase of the job. Another part of the process that is acknowledged with this statement is the important aspect that you are all businessmen and women. You need to charge a fair price and run your firms like the businesses they are, not non-profits. Your motivation to be greener might be to gain more business or it might be to positively affect the local and global community.
Whatever reasons you choose in the end, it is important to look at the big picture. Incorporating green building materials and practices has the potential to be beneficial for your business and the environment at the same time. It is somewhat rare to find those two intertwined in such a way; why not see what benefits green building can have for you?

When you specify "ati" as the driver in your X configuration you are not using ATI's official proprietary fglrx driver.
By chance are you using an x86_64 installer on an X 6.9+ system or are you using X 7.1? Those are two known environments with fglrx + X-Video issues at this time.
Have you tried doing a dist-upgrade for Dapper Drake or Edgy Eft?
I know the environments from:
Known Issues
The following section provides a brief description of known issues associated with the latest version of ATI Proprietary Linux driver. These issues include:
* Attempting to install the ATI Proprietary Linux driver on distributions that have updated certain 3D components outside of the stock XOrg 6.8.2 may result in the driver not initializing 3D applications properly. Further details can be found in topic number 737-20868
* A system hang may occur when attempting to resume from hibernation mode. Further details can be found in topic number 737-22059
* Loading the XVideo Extension on 64-bit Xorg 6.9+ systems causes the X Server to segfault on launch with ATI Radeon X1K products. Further details and the workaround can be found in topic number 737-22837
* Users with X Server X.org 7.1 can not play any video using XV. The ATI AVIVO Video adaptor is not present. Further details and the workaround can be found in topic number 737-22852
I used AMD2500+ and xorg7.0,but i will check my X at night again.
"Have you tried doing a dist-upgrade for Dapper Drake or Edgy Eft?"
It's unprosperous when i install ubuntu6.06 from LiveCD.Maybe dist-upgrade is a good idea,i will try later.

Hughes eyes repeat effort in rubber match vs. Rox
Coming off dominant start against Mariners, righty faces Anderson
Twins hurler Phil Hughes tossed 7 1/3 scoreless innings against the Mariners on Tuesday, breaking out of a three-start funk that interrupted what has otherwise been a strong first season in Minnesota for the former Yankees right-hander.
He compiled an 8.05 ERA as he gave up five runs or more in three straight outings, causing his ERA to balloon from 3.09 to 3.95. Hughes acknowledged that the stretch likely cost him a shot at an All-Star selection at his home park of Target Field.
"The last few times out kind of sealed my chances, especially in the American League," Hughes said on Tuesday. "You look at the guys in the Final Vote and they all deserve to be in it. So I just hurt my chances the last few starts. It would've been cool, but I'm happy for the guys who are going to be there."
However, despite bouncing back with a scoreless outing his last time out, he has given up eight hits or more in five straight turns. As the right-hander takes the hill at Coors Field opposite lefty Brett Anderson on Sunday, a high hit total could hurt him once again.
"I felt like the last couple times out I got hurt with a couple weird plays, but tonight I got some good bounces with double-play balls," Hughes said after his most recent turn. "Sometimes the difference is just a couple things going right for you. I thought my fastball command was good tonight and I just kind of worked from there."
Meanwhile, Anderson will make his first start for Colorado since exiting after three scoreless innings with a left index finger fracture on April 12. He was well on his way to a third straight quality start to begin 2014 before the injury occurred.
Anderson recorded a 0.96 ERA in 9 1/3 innings of rehab with Triple-A Colorado Springs. He was scheduled to make three rehab starts with the Sky Sox, but will instead take the hill for the Rockies with a pitch count of 85.
Twins: Dozier riding hot streak
As Brian Dozier prepares to take part in the Gillette Home Run Derby, he is getting all the other kinds of hits out of his system. He has hit safely in nine of his past 10 games, hitting just one homer and recording six hits in his last 18-bats.
Dozier is batting .273 (12-for-44) since the stretch began with three doubles, three RBIs and three multi-hit games. Although Dozier's 15 doubles are not on pace to match his 33 from 2013, his 41 RBIs are close to his career high of 66 achieved last year.
Rockies: Tulo practicing for power performance
Troy Tulowitzki will compete with Dozier and eight others in the Derby scheduled for Monday night at Target Field, and he appears ready to go. The shortstop has homered three times in the past four games.
Not only do Tulowitzki's 21 homers tie him with Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton -- another Derby competitor -- for the National League lead, but the figure is tied for third-most by a Colorado player prior to the All-Star break.
Tulowitzki is tied with Todd Helton's 21 home runs before the 2003 Midsummer Classic, ranking behind Preston Wilson's 23 from that same season and teammate Carlos Gonzalez's 25 from a year ago.
Worth noting
• The Twins are batting .269 (66-for-245) in their last eight games against left-handed starters, totaling four homers, 23 doubles and 30 runs scored.
• Justin Morneau, who will also compete in the Derby, is batting .125 (2-for-16) in 18 career plate appearances against Hughes, but both hits are home runs. He has also walked twice and struck out three times against the right-hander.

Balsamic chicken smothered in roasted peppers. |
Karina's Easy Chicken and Balsamic Peppers Recipe
4 large ripe bell peppers: red, green, orange, yellow; cored and sliced thin
1 large sweet onion, sliced thin
1/3 cup organic balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon gluten-free Worcestershire Sauce
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup or so chicken broth
6 fresh cloves of garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon rosemary
4 fresh, organic free-range split breasts of chicken, rinsed and patted dry
Sea salt and ground pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Toss the pepper and onion slices in a large bowl. In a large measuring cup, fork-stir your sauce using: balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire, olive oil, broth, chopped garlic, and herbs. Pour the sauce over the sliced peppers and onions and toss well to coat.
Place the split chicken breasts in the bottom of a baking pan sprayed with olive oil. Season with sea salt and pepper, to taste. Pour the balsamic pepper mixture over the chicken and arrange them evenly. Use every last drop of sauce.
Loosely cover the pan with a piece of foil and place in the center of a pre-heated oven. Bake for 20 minutes. Spoon the sauce all over the peppers and chicken breasts to keep everything happy and moist, recover it and continue to bake until everything is melt-in-your-mouth tender (depending upon the thickness of the chicken, and the size of your pepper strips, and your particular oven and altitude it could be an additional 10 minutes or 20 minutes). You want the chicken to be cooked through (no longer pink inside) and the peppers to be limp and soft.
Serves 4.

Royals host Sox amid pageantry of home opener
KC rotation stays on schedule after rainout, as Guthrie faces Johnson
The Kansas City Royals are a trendy pick to make the postseason for the first time since 1985, when George Brett led the club to its only World Series title.
After a couple of tough walk-off losses on the road, the Royals will finally get a chance to show off their revamped roster to the home faithful when right-hander Jeremy Guthrie takes the mound against righty Erik Johnson and the Chicago White Sox at Kauffman Stadium.
Thursday's game at Detroit was rained out, washing away some of the excitement of rookie flamethrower Yordano Ventura's season debut. But the rainout didn't dampen the team's excitement for the home opener.
"We do [get pumped up] more for our home opener than we do a road opener, I'll tell you that," manager Ned Yost said. "These players are excited to get back home and play in front of our fans. With the way they supported us last year, the energy they brought, we're looking forward to getting back to Kansas City for that. It's a big day, no doubt."
Left fielder Alex Gordon said that the home opener is indeed exciting but added that the pageantry surrounding it can become distracting.
"That's not how a regular day works. It's fun, it's exciting," Gordon said. "But as a baseball player, I think you like your set routine and how things work, so I think everyone is a little glad to get it over with and move on."
Guthrie has made five previous starts against the Sox, going 3-2 with a 4.15 ERA in 30 1/3 innings. The five starts ties for the most he's made against one team (Twins), while the innings are second only to the 34 he's tossed against Minnesota.
Sox captain Paul Konerko said Guthrie is difficult to face because he has evolved from a pure-power pitcher to a veteran capable of effectively mixing up his pitches, and that the Sox will have to figure out which of those pitches Guthrie has working well.
"You kind of have to wait and see when you get out there," said Konerko, who has hit .265 with four homers off Guthrie in 49 at-bats. "He's definitely crafty, and he's still got really good stuff, so he's a challenge. Their whole rotation is a challenge."
Chicago will look to rebound from a disappointing 10-9 loss to Minnesota on Thursday in which it blew a late three-run lead. The bullpen has allowed nine runs in 10 1/3 innings pitched (8.02 ERA) and will have to do better against the Royals if the Sox want to perform better against division opponents than they did a year ago.
Off to a 2-1 start against the American League Central after the opening series with the Twins, Chicago set a franchise record for losses within the division in 2013 with a 26-50 record.
"You always want to play well in your division, no question," Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "Last year, we weren't very good in our division and some people probably made the playoffs because of our won and lost record. But every team is going to be tough -- Kansas City, every team is tough. We're just going to play."
White Sox: Jones again experiences discomfort in left glute
Right-handed reliever Nate Jones didn't last long Thursday after taking over for starter Jose Quintana to open the seventh inning.
Jones was pulled after starting the inning with back-to-back walks to Brian Dozier and Joe Mauer with discomfort in his left glute. It's the same injury that kept him out the bulk of Spring Training.
He said he first felt the discomfort when he was warming up in the bullpen and that it didn't get any better once he got on the mound. He received treatment on the injury and will have it re-evaluated Friday.
"It's kinda just in the back of your head," said Jones of the effect the discomfort had when he was on the mound. "When you're thinking about something else besides hitting the mitt, then you see what happens. It's not good for the team."
Royals: Ventura to be available in bullpen this weekend
Rather than push every starter's turn in the rotation back a day, Yost elected to stick with Guthrie. That means Ventura will instead skip this start and will be available in the bullpen the next couple of days before taking his regular turn Tuesday vs. the Tampa Bay Rays.
"I've had this rotation set up with Guthrie for Opening Day [at home] since Spring Training. I'm not deviating from that," Yost said. "I want a veteran to start Opening Day. With an 11-man staff, I can add another quality arm to my bullpen for the next couple of days to help us through."
Yost also noted that pushing back the rotation an entire day would put ace James Shields on a seven-day program, which would mean too much rest and create "too much havoc."
Worth noting
• White Sox second baseman Gordon Beckham played in his first Minor League rehabilitation game for Double-A Birmingham on Thursday night. Beckham is recovering from a strained left oblique that bothered him much of Spring Training. He was placed on the disabled list March 30, with the move retroactive to March 21.
• Kansas City's first game in Detroit last season, on April 22, 2013, was also rained out. "It just seems like we go through this every year here. First trip in, we get a rainout," Yost said.

Good shoes. This is the third pair of these purchased & my hubby loves em.
I decided to try out the MBT brand after I was told by many people that it will alleviate any foot and/or knee pain I may have. Boy, they were not kidding around. I love these shoes. They are stylish and comfortable. I ordered the pair in the Toffee Leather and the color is amazing and the leather just has a nice design look to it. I wear the shoes to work and occasionally out for a casual walk, and never in any instance do I feel my knees hurting. At first, I thought the rocker bottom would not be something that would work for me, I was wrong. Each step I take, I feel no pressure on my heel, midsole, or toes. I used to dread walking and that is the case no more. I will be an MBT fan for life. Please, if you have any kind of foot or joint pain, I highly recommend you give this brand a try.

Buy this photo Advocate file photo by LIBBY ISENHOWER -- Kenny Almond talks to his East Ascension team from the sideline during a game in 2011 game at St. Amant. Almond has been hired as Zachary's new coach, the school announced Wednesday. Advocate file photo by Brenden Neville Parkview Baptist football coach Kenny Guillot: 'The longer you stay in it, you realize it's not about winning and losing; it really is about the kids.' Robin Fambrough | Advocate sportswriter Dec. 16, 2012 Comments Two of the Baton Rouge area's most successful high school coaches, Parkview Baptist football coach Kenny Guillot and East Ascension High boys basketball coach Kenny Almond, are revising their respective game plans as they battle different types of cancer. Almond is recovering from cancer-related surgery earlier this week and is preparing to start chemotherapy in the weeks ahead with an eye on returning to the bench some time in January. Guillot, whose team won the Class 3A state title last Saturday in New Orleans, told his players earlier this week that he has been diagnosed with a form of lymphoma. Guillot, who also serves as the school's athletic director, is scheduled to have six rounds of chemotherapy treatment, which will begin next week. He hopes to return to work full time before spring practice. "I've got a friend who's going through the same thing I am and he had surgery in October,"Almond said. "Based on his experience, I've got an idea what to expect. I've already done the chemo pills and radiation, but this next chemo is supposed to be more aggressive. "There are some goals I have. The good news is the holidays are coming up, and I won't have to miss as much school time. We start district around Jan. 11, and that's a goal for when I'd like to get back." Almond won his 800th career game last season. EAHS is 11-1 on the season including a Thursday win over Denham Springs. Travis Uzee is serving as the interim coach for the Spartans. Guillot said he had a series of tests run during the fall season, but did not get the lymphoma diagnosis until last week, days before the Eagles (13-0) took a 42-7 victory over Notre Dame-Crowley in the 3A title game. It PBS' fourth state title since Guillot became the school's head football coach. PBS has won 3A titles in 2001, 2007, 2010 and 2012. "The important thing for me was to make sure the season was all about the kids," Guillot said. "I do plan to be at school when I can, but there will also be some times when I'll miss school over the next couple of months. "I'm very optimistic. I like the approach the doctors are taking. They tell me this is a very curable and that there's a 95 percent cure rate. There's a chance it can come back, but that's not something to consider right now. I told our players my goal is to be out there with them in spring." Coordinators Jay Mayet and Scott Dieterich will hand other day-to-day duties. Dieterich is also recovering from blood pressure related issues that prevented him from coaching in last Saturday's title game. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Top Definition
Gard logic is a type of fallacy in logic. It represents irrationality and or lack of logic whatsoever. Usually used in a musical context.
Rather than spending time focusing on warming up and listening to the ensemble for tuning, skip warming up to turn right away to an electronic tuner. This constitutes an example of Gard logic because neither the player nor the instrument has been "warmed" up, negating the effects of tuning.

TailightsRe: TailightsHi
Interesting (?) comparison of the Radbot 1000 versus the Superflash which is what I use (or various variants): Andrew
Re: TailightsI get hurt to make others pay
Re: TailightsThat is not a bad price. Will be interested to see how you go with them. Andrew
Re: TailightsAh, the 1W led.
I have a B&M Seculite 1W dynamo-powered steady tail-light and a 1W Mars 4.0 battery tail-llight that I use on flashing. I'm wary of using the 1W flashers when riding with others as I hear many complaining about the blinding effects and almost seizure-inducing nature of the 0.5W Superflash. A steady tail-light is less annoying to fellow riders. Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Tailights
I run mine on steady if riding in a group. I only really use it on flashing at dusk. <removed by request>
Re: TailightsBlackburn Mars 3.0 has been pretty good to me so far

Re: TailightsAnother happy Superflash rider.
...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.
London Boy 29/12/2011
Re: TailightsI used to have the Blackburn Mars 2.0 - before someone stole it off my bicycle. That was a pretty darn good tail light. I hope that the Mars 3.0 is just as good.
Martin Christopher Hartley

Re: TailightsSuperflash as a backup, but always have the amazing 3watt Dinotte 140R on day and night...has 3 solid modes (high, med, low) and three flashing modes. Was about $180 when I purchased over a year ago, but the the AU$ improving against the US$, they are now only $97...very well made (in the US)...
Re: TailightsTail-light brand.... Well my tailight is a lame Big-W brand one, Repco if I recall correctly. Its not the brightest thing out in definite contrast from my front light but it works well enough for now.
It will probably be upgraded soon enough though as my 'shopping' bikes tailight got crushed and it will probably receive my repco cheapie.
Re: Tailightsecho coffs gals sentiments on the Dinotte light. Purchased for $160.00 last August. Use it religiously and have cars stop allongside and ask where didi you get that light from. Use it day and night religiously. Purchased a Balckburn flea USB reachargable as an additional light ( on helmet) about $35: 00 =. Nice little sturdy number.. Rock solid. Does the job. The Dinotte 140 L r is my main light.. I ride all year i all conditions day and night. You need to be seen. Don't scrimp
Re: TailightsThat Radbot 1000 is a pretty impressive light as far as bang for buck is concerned has me interested so thanks for the heads up.
Re: TailightsCoffsgal - I like that one!!! Hopefully I wouldn't get run over with that one - might have to look into that one....
http://store.dinottelighting.com/shared ... oducts.asp That's the 140R LI 2c or should I go for the: http://store.dinottelighting.com/shared ... oducts.asp Just trying to read about the two of these and see which one could be the best of the best - or which model is in the photos above. I'm thinking I should go for the 400 R series. ? And it comes with a charger and rechargeable batteries? Any thoughts guys? Most appreciated!
Re: Tailights
I haven't seen the 400R-LI_2C in real life, but it would have to be pretty amazing and has more mounting options than the 140R...the downside for the 400R is that it uses a proprietry rechargable battery unlike the the 140R which uses 4 standard AA rechargables...if the proprietry battery fails it might be a hassle to get a new one...the proprietry battery is also a little larger than the 4 AAs used for the 140R...I squeeze the 4xAA battery pack in my under saddle tool bag. Not sure of the run time for the 400R, but I get about 10 hours run time per charge for the 140R (on slow flash). It is the 140R in the pics in my previous post.
Re: TailightsThanks heaps Coffsgal for replying. I'm not sure I'd fit anything much more under my seat. I'm a bit short wheel based myself... and my frame is 49 cms. I barely have enough room to fit a pissy little tube bag and a light that can see over the top of the back wheel. So I have a second light on my right back stay.
Yup - the battery side of things could be a decider. Plus the price for replacements if/when it carks it. If i can't get them easily or have to write to america all the time the 140 model may be the way to go. Hmmm - decisions decisions.
Re: Tailights140R which uses 4 standard AA rechargables - I purchased this one based on price alone..re mounting it comes with a little bag to enclose the batteries and casing. 2 x velcro straps ensure its held in place in front of my seat on the top tube.. My leg used to brush past it.. A rubber tie fixed that problem.. I purchased some cheap recharges from the auto shop and the some of the better ones. I'd buy the same light again and I'd pay the same price again. The way the Auzzie dollar is at the moment it's a steal. Must say I'm a tad disspaointed with my Blackburn flea usb rechargable.. Works o.k but once charged it flashes every 2 seconds for quite some time.. I'm going to run it flat and try again.. Anyone else had probs with this light
Re: Tailights
Any light that comes with a proprietary battery and needs to be recharged via a USB connection to a computer has knobs on it I reckon Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Tailights
Cripes\, that's bright. Looks like a scene from close encounters, a UFO is about to land on you. I will get one of those I think. 2009 Malver Star Oppy Bol D'or
2008 Giant CRX2 Couple of old clangers (one with kiddie seat)
Re: Tailights
I think that first pic is probably taken in the snow which increases the effect...but in any case they are a very bright light...lots of headlights are 1 or 2 watts...the Dinotte 140R being 3 watts is powerful for a tailight.

Tell 'im he's dreaming! Max One of the best things about bicycle commuting is that it can mitigate the displeasure of having to go to work. - BikeSnobNYC
Cycling is sometimes like bobbing for apples in a bucket full of dicks. - SydGuy
Re: TailightsMaybe, but if it saves you the $4k in hospital bills plus the $3K in surgery costs + the $2K in bike repairs it might be a bargain.
Sure, my incident wasn't an accident, but lots of them are and this will certainly help especially when visibilty is an issue.
Re: TailightsSorry, I gotta call it.
You'll get great visibilty to motorists with a lot less than 3W of tail-light. A 1w flasher is excellent as a tail-light and then add good reflective materials and you're very visible. Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.

CLEVELAND -- September is not a straight-forward month when it comes to sales. On one hand, you have the end of summer clearance deals on everything from patio to swimsuits. You also have Black Friday on the horizon with the biggest reductions of the year right around the corner. When it comes to deals, this is how I approach the month of September...
5 Best Buys This September
1) Mid-Range Televisions: If you pick your size and some of the well-performing "B" brands carefully, you can score some huge discounts this time of the year. Certain price drops are only $20 off from what we'll see Black Friday. I should stress you need to pick your TV deals very carefully, but there are some great reductions like this one:
$202 off 1080p Sceptre 50" LCD + free shipping [http://www.offers.com/walmart/1580249/] Was: $600 Now: $398 **TV performed great in our tests and you can read the excellent reviews from the link above.
2) Printers: There's always surplus following the back-to-school sales and today is no exception. Top pick today:
54% off Canon Pixma all-in-one printer + free accessories [http://www.offers.com/walmart/1410195/]
Was: $65 Now: $29.89
**Free store pickup available
3) iPhone Accessories: With Apple's major announcement expected this week, the iPhone 4 and 5 models are expected to see discounts and accessories are seeing massive reductions. Top pick today:
72% off 9-piece USB charger for iPhone 3G/3Gs/4/4s + free shipping [http://www.offers.com/ebay/1604854/]
Was: $24.99 Now: $6.99
4) Dyson Vacuums: Since we usually see new products and specials debut around that spring cleaning time of the year, this officially marks the end of year for many upright vacuums. Deals today on certain models replicate what we'll see Black Friday like this one:
$150 off Dyson DC33 upright vacuum + free shipping [http://www.offers.com/bestbuy/1492843/] Was: $399.99 Now: $249.99
5) Peripherals: The back-to-school sales that roll through September aren't on laptops, they're on the peripherals and accessories to make your gadgets sing. Top pick today:
50% off Logitech wireless mouse + free shipping [http://www.offers.com/bestbuy/1597547/]
Was: $29.99 Now: $14.99
5 Worst Buys This September
1) Appliances: If you missed the Labor Day bargain boat on this one, wait until Black Friday or at least until the month of November if you can. Your costs will be at least 30% lower if you can wait.
2) Cooler Weather Clothing: Keep in mind that retailers are at least one month ahead of you on everything. When that cooler fall weather actually hits, buy your items. Autumn clothing always sees much better discounts in October.
3) Halloween Décor: My rule of thumb is if you see something on display in a store, it's the worst time to buy it. Shopping for items when a retailer 'needs' you to buy that product line usually amounts to fewer discounts.
4) Video Games & Multimedia: The best multimedia bundles of the year drop from Black Friday through Christmas. You can cut your costs by 50% or more with some patience.
5) Laptops: A deal blog I visited yesterday actually suggested laptops are a great September buy, but I completely disagree. With the exception of the back-to-school laptop deals, which trickle into the first week of September, reductions on quality laptops this time of year are scarce. If you can wait until at least mid-October, price drops are more frequent on better models.

I wish they would link to the products in question in articles like these. Where do I find GreenOS and the product page for this sub $200 computer?
Phoronix: gOS: The Conceptual Google OS
Earlier this week Everex launched the gPC TC2502, which is a sub-$200 PC sold at a major US retailer, but what makes this unique is that it runs the gOS. The gOS (GreenOS) is designed to be a conceptual Google Operating System that is based upon Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. Though this is not the conventional GNOME desktop environment but an Enlightenment E17 desktop is used that is heavily modified and reflects a green Google theme. The gOS provides easy access to Google services such as YouTube, Google Product Search, Google Calendar, and Google Maps. Also a click away are other web services such as Wikipedia and Facebook. This isn't a pure Internet desktop but Xine, Skype, OpenOffice.org, and other applications are available for this Linux LiveCD. We've been trying the gOS out for a while and it's a rather nice slim desktop Linux distribution that would be perfect for Internet cafes and other public places.
I wish they would link to the products in question in articles like these. Where do I find GreenOS and the product page for this sub $200 computer?
I find it particularly interesting that they used e17 as the desktop of choice. Not that its a bad desktop, I kind of like it, but its extremely alpha software and NOT user friendly in the least little bit...
I hope this doesn't turn people off form using Linux at all because of the desktop choice.
May I ask how did you get the gOS? (Other than buying a gPC :P )
You can go to thier web site http://www.thinkgos.com and grab the torrent for the iso. If their site is not responding, you can get the torrent on http://isohunt.com.
Apparently is just a development version which is too large to fit on a normal cd (728Mb) though most everything seems to work.
And you don't need to buy a $199 PC to load it. You can download gOS right now. Unfortunately, the developer's site seems to be down at the moment, but you can find gOS on several Torrent trackers.
http://www.thinkgos.com/ is the developer site
http://linuxtracker.org/torrents-details.php?id=4822 links to torrents
these people provided the above information
these people covered this story and are in my RSS reader
We shouldn't all be afraid like: "I don't like that choice, I hope they don't dislike linux for that". People that want gnome will install it quickly, people that know nothing about linux like the fact that there are just a few big buttons. gnome is a bit scary to newcomers imho.
Anyway, besides that, lets just be gutsy and put our stuff out there so they can make up their mind. The perfect solution never exists. Just the current one.
This is a good step imho, I would buy it for some of my relatives. If it were sold here. (I wish more european chains would jump on this bandwagon, I'm pretty sure there is a bigger market for it over here) at 200$ it's a perfect beginners PC, and for the grandparents it's something nice to play with, that isn't entirely wasted if they end up not using it. And there is all the benefit of not having to build these systems by hand.
This pc is actually cheaper than if you were to build it with the same specs
Also another funny thing is that the pc gets 100 dollars more expensive if you go for the Vista option:P
I really want to buy this as the power consumption will be very low, but i fear that the taxes and shippiong will make this pc way more expensive , so i wait and hope someone will sell this in europe to.
You can have it as a live CD as the guy above mentioned or you can try it on a virtual machine.
Here's a demonstration/instruction.

The backpacks cost several hundred dollars each, the New York Daily News reported, with at least one company offering children's styles with motifs like Disney princesses. Companies reported sales have gone up several hundred percent, admittedly from a low base.
Elmar Uy, vice president of BulletBlocker, a Massachusetts company, said he first realized something dramatic had happened because of the increase in customer interest last Friday.
"Part of my daily activity is to monitor the numbers," he told the Daily News. "I was seeing numbers I'd never seen before and I thought it was a glitch. Our Web traffic was10 times more than normal. I turned on the TV and there it was on CNN."
Uy said BulletBlocker backpacks, which cost up to $600 each based on size, will stop more than 99 percent of handgun bullets.
Adam Lanza, 20, who had already killed his mother, gunned down 20 children and six staff members at the Sandy Hook Elementary School last Friday before taking his own life.


text: Far away, on islands in the Arctic Ocean, live small groups of meteorologists, measuring the speed of the wind, the depth of the water, the size of the clouds, to help bring us our daily weather. Surrounded by seemingly endless water and the quietness of the tundra, they live isolated from the rest of the world for years on end. This summer I went on the journey on an icebreaker to visit such places.

1) Her: Let me ask you this, because I need to ask a married person this, and there are not a lot of those around here. Have you ever heard of sex referred to as 'gravy?' Me and my ex-, we used to use the word 'dessert,' which I always thought sounded so sweet, but I'm not ok with 'gravy.' But words come and go… Me: Um, no person I know, married or unmarried, uses either gravy or dessert… Her: Okay, just thought I'd check in with the younger generation! Maybe it's because you all don't eat gravy. It's not a very "in" food these days, is it? [She walks off…]
2) Manual Laborer Short Term Contractor Guy Moving Heavy Boxes Whom I Have Never Seen [starts walking alongside me in the hallway]: I want YOU to have a happy 4th, you understand? Me: Um, thanks, you, too! MLSTCGMHBWIHNS: And if you drink, you should start right now! I mean NOW! And don't stop until Sunday! Or maybe Sunday night! Cuz nobody really works on Monday! Heh-heh! Me: [pretends to have been heading to an office, and goes in, even though this is not my office and I don't know anybody in this office].
All day I was feeling distractable, thinking about the many wonderful plans we have with the girls this weekend, and the many necessary logistical details I will be managing on the ever-present mental checklist to facilitate those plans. But stepping outside my own world for a minute, clearly everybody is feeling a little ready to jump past 5pm. A white haired woman plots to get frisky. A young man wants to drink through his paycheck. I mean, I guess. That's what those conversations were about, right? I was jumpy to start the weekend, too.
Tonight L went home with her daddy, and I took E out for dinner and to a movie. Dinner was noodles, which is usually a Daddy-Daughter date. These were my instructions, per M: Ask her if she wants the green noodles (pesto) or the mac'n'cheese. If she gets the green noodles, she'll tell you that she doesn't want the carrots. (There are no carrots in the pesto meal.) That means you should pick out the tomatoes and mushrooms – those are her carrots. She'll still want her bib (this girl LOVES a bib – but so would you if your favorite food was black beans straight from a can), but she doesn't like the placemat anymore, so when the guy brings the food, ask him for an extra small plate. Then serve from the main plate onto her own plate; that will control mess and help the noodles cool down faster. These days she likes using a real fork and she doesn't like the high chair; she wants a booster. They're tucked in to the right of the soda machine.
Now. Aside from the transgression I can't convince him to overcome wherein M used the word 'soda' instead of 'pop,' these were very useful instructions. I know many 2-year-olds demand routines, and for E this is true to the nth degree. I'm glad I had a noodles manual. And although I don't think M suffers from this affliction, this was a lot o' important stuff for me to memorize and subsequently replicate. I can see why many daddies feel nervous jumping into Mommy Mode. Or the not-as-much-around to the more-around caregiver. I don't want to be limiting with the lingo but degendering the sentence came out pretty awkward, didn't it? I'll just ask you now to please know what I mean. Thank you!
Even the girls knew it was a short week. E has known all week about our barbecue plans for tomorrow. She has her red dress picked out and lying on top of her dresser. Every night she has asked if tomorrow was Friday. Every time we talked about tonight's movie and who should go, she talked about her camping chair and Mommy's camping chair and Mommy's chair is blue, but can it be purple? They painted flags in school today. Because today was the holiday in school terms, both girls wore red, white and blue. I take pictures of them almost every day but managed not to take one of them together today.
The movie was a free movie on a projection screen in the backyard of our synagogue, wherein E and all her 3-foot sugar-hopped friends ran around until the show came on, and as dusk progressed to dark, several of them fell asleep. Guess who didn't? We had brought glow-stick bracelets, which we shared with all of E's friends, and E spent the night wearing the circles hanging from the tops of her ears like "earrings" and yelling LOOK AT MY EARRINGS!
Another conversation I had at work today was with a friend whose wife is due to give birth to their first child within the next three weeks. I asked him how he's doing, fine, yeah?, no! I'm not sleeping! Even Ann is sleeping better than me right now! He has this looking of Dead Man Walking. He knows his life is about to go to something so, so different, but that different is still unrecognizable, unidentifiable, unknowable. We can all tell him anecdotes and spread advice, but who knows what kind of babyhood this kid is going to have, who knows what it (the babyhood) will do to his quiet house, his happy marriage, his busy social life. They'll all be impacted in both good and bad ways but the specifics are still unwriteable. He is sort of a dead man, isn't he? Because he's about to be a whole different person. And for at least a while, the old and the new versions might not even recognize each other. If knowing that that is your fate isn't scary, I don't know what is.
So it's officially a holiday weekend. We have a barbecue to go to tomorrow, and perhaps a birthday cake for the country to bake in the morning, and frost in purple, I'm sure. We have ear pillows for the possibility of fireworks. We have Shabbat, we have several sets of tentative Sunday plans. We have bathing suits and sunscreen. We have kosher burgers to pick up to bring. We have a baby whom I'm hoping to practice wearing in advance of next week's airplane trip, with the hope of avoiding another security incident. But before tomorrow and the long-weekend's crazies begin, I want to tidy up a bit. (Not the house. Meh, to that. My ever-present mental checklist. I want to tidy up the checklist.) I want to upload photos. And I can't find my main camera's USB cord. I'm only going make that memory card more and more and more full this weekend.
In the meantime, from my first ever upload from my new camera:
Portrait with sleeping beauties (Unintentional Self-)
June 29, 2008
This was taken in our driveway, because we got home but didn't want to disturb the OH HOW P'RESH-US. (Because risking a flash going off on them doesn't count as disturbing.)
Why do I blog? So I can write posts like this. Sometimes my brain is just overflowing. I need to just back it up [BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP] and dump it out. I spent my formative years in a very small school where I was the only left-handed pupil, and my handwriting workbook had me slanting my paper to a right-hander's slant, because the school didn't have the lefty version workbook. So I can't keep a diary. My handwriting is just not as purty as my mad QWERTY skillz, kids. Will this post be incoherent to everybody out there? Maybe. Let me know! But it feels good to put it on the screen, to empty out. I believe there will be more brain dumps acomin'...

I did work great for that year to leave my hair thick curly hair, frizz-free, full of volume and bouncy curly style, but I am totally bummed that I have to buy another hot air brush only a year later.

I'm very happy that I found Folica on the internet, this hot air brush is sturdy, it's great.
When I got it, I thought there was a defect with the brushes as I could not see the bristles but you just have to turn the front part of the brush and the bristles come out, it's a good idea to protect them but the company should mention that on the package.posted Apr 10, 2012Link to this post -

Planning for contingencies
Blog Entry:
February 22, 2013 4:30 AM | Author: M URSULA HERRMANN
Mary Ursula Herrmann
Mary Ursula Herrmann
is a Network Security Analyst living in Juneau, AK. She has worked in Information Security for over 15 years, and obtained her CISSP in 2005.
Last week, I talked about what to do if your security vendor is hacked. I've already
talked about
what to do if your organization itself is hacked, but it's worth going a little deeper into the subject and talking about
contingency planning and management.
Books can and have been written about contingency planning, but probably the most important thing about it is that you should be able to test your plan. For instance, simply having something in your overall security policy that says "If a fire takes out the server room, Joe is in charge" is not enough. When the server room is actually on fire is not the time for Joe to be deciding what he should do next. This may seem obvious, but you need to know what is going to happen, every step of the way, right down to the smallest detail. There's always going to be something you didn't anticipate, so you need to plan for everything that you can anticipate, and then test that plan.
A contingency plan should be updated and tested at least yearly, because you can't assume that everything around your organization, including local laws or your vendors' policies, are going to stay the same from year to year. You'll want to check things like mobile and home phone numbers for your own personnel, and whether or not your contacts at vendors or backup sites have changed.
The plan should also be tested on a yearly basis, around a conference room table at the very least. The person in charge or updating the plan will propose a scenario - such as the server room fire - and each team leader will state what they and their team will do in response.
I've discussed testing
in the past as well.
It's unlikely that either your plan or your testing will be perfectly smooth at first, and that's to be expected. Make changes to your plan based on the lessons learned from your initial testing, and continue to refine it over time. Even if the particulars of your plan change over time, because of relocation or changes in personnel, after a while the testing should go more smoothly because it's familiar.
There's no way to predict when or how an emergency situation will occur. But the more prepared you are for it, through creating and testing a contingency plan, the better your organization will weather it.

Comments about STS SEA TO SUMMIT Insect Shield Mosquito Head Net:
I bought this to keep the bugs at bay for a kayak trip in the Florida Everglades where the bugs would be bad.I wouldn't have bought it if I knew it let the no see ums in. Although the description says keeps MOST bugs out, hopefully this will clarify it for others. Worked great against mozzies though.
Comments about STS SEA TO SUMMIT Insect Shield Mosquito Head Net:
Sea to Summit told me their Insect Shield jacket did not come with a head cover, so I ordered the head cover from EMS when ordering the jacket. After receiving the jacket, and it had a head cover built in, I returned the separate head cover. Having said that, the jacket worked perfectly for me as expected (protecting me from biting insects, so I would expect the head cover would do the same.

Bringing truth to the people of Kent
Add a Comment
The Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and credits needed to satisfy the spending power of the Government and the buying power of consumers. By the adoption of these principles, the taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest. Money will cease to be master and become the servant of humanity.
Abraham Lincoln
Kent Freedom Movement is a grass roots organisation of people who want to bring important information to the people of Kent.
In the beginning there was barter,
then there was money,
then there was money & debt,
then there was only debt –
and deception.

In a few years people will ask what TV stands for
Phoronix: Nouveau TV-Out Progresses For NV30/40 GPUs
With the Nouveau driver earning itself some new attention now that its DRM code has been pulled into the Linux 2.6.33 kernel, there is another important milestone worth sharing. The Nouveau driver now has TV-Out working and being considered "done" for the NV30 class GPUs (the GeForce 5 / FX series) and is mostly done for NV40 GPUs (the GeForce 6 series)...
In a few years people will ask what TV stands for
But are anyone using TV out nowadays?
Isn't everything HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort?
I can't even recall seeing a TV in a shop with analog input.
I for example use S-Video TV-Out for video output on 28" (4:3) CRT TV (on ATI Radeon 9600 card).
I don't plan to change this TV or disable TV-Out in next 2-3 years.
I don't have space for 29" LCD TV there and I watch cable analog TV there, too. So I don't need to change anything there.

Gov Brown vetoes mining bill
Suction dredge miners got a reprieve when Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed legislation that would have de-funded the court-ordered environmental plan needed before the practice could potentially resume.
Budget language passed by both state houses in May would have extended the current moratorium on the practice for five years, or until the Department of Fish and Game could come up with a plan to mitigate all the environmental impacts and a way to pay for program costs, estimated to be at least $2 million a year, a figure mining advocates dispute.
But the budget language also prohibited the department from spending any money to develop such a plan.
Brown said he was vetoing the bill "to ensure the Department is not in violation of the court order." Brown offered mining advocates no assurances. "Fish and Game can now finish working on the environmental impact report and associated regulations, though the resumption of dredging is not assured."
"The governor saw through the budget trick that was going to kill off this industry and didn't stand for it," said state Sen. Ted Gaines, who has been a supporter of the mining practice.
But even Gaines had to admit the contingent nature of the development. "With the funding now in place, DFG can complete the required study and potentially implement new regulations that will end the moratorium."
A bill currently making its way through the Assembly could throw a wrench into the dredge. It would add new requirements to the California Environmental Quality Act and could potentially impose a five-year ban on suction dredging.
Gaines, whose district includes Plumas County, called the proposed new requirements "unattainable" and vowed to "see this through to the end."
The current moratorium stems from a lawsuit, spearheaded by the Karuk tribe, which argued that the practice was harming fish habitat by churning up pollutants, such as mercury, deposited in streambeds by a century and a half of mining activity.
The moratorium went into effect in 2009, when the Legislature passed a bill temporarily banning suction dredge mining on all California lakes and rivers until the court-ordered environmental review could be completed.

Bologna, the capital of the Emilia-Romagna region, is situated in the north of Italy and is well known for its large number of churches, cathedrals and museums.
Le Due Torri is the most famous historical monument in Bologna. You must climb to the top for a magnificent view of the city. The highest of the two towers is 98 metres high and has almost 500 steps. The archaeological museum, the Basilica, the Cathedral of San Pietro and the Mediaeval and Renaissance Museum are also certainly worth a visit.
Art-lovers must visit the Pinacoteca. This artistic centre of Bologna is known for its collection of masterpieces from different periods. You can take a break from all this beauty on the magnificent Piazza Maggiore, a fascinating square in the centre of Bologna.
