State Scorecard Rank
The state offers a variety of grant, rebate, and bond programs to encourage investments in energy efficiency. The state government leads by example by setting energy requirements for public buildings and fleets, benchmarking energy use, and encouraging the use of energy savings performance contracts.
Financial incentive information for Massachusetts is provided by the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE Massachusetts). Information about additional incentives not present on DSIRE is listed here.
Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Bond Program: The Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Bond Program is intended to increase compact, mixed-use, walkable development close to transit stations. To accomplish this objective, the Program authorization (Chapter 291 of the Acts of 2004) provides financing for pedestrian improvements, bicycle facilities, housing projects, and parking facilities within .25 (1/4) miles of a commuter rail station, subway station, bus station, bus rapid transit station, or ferry terminal.

Massachusetts has several green building programs targeted at state buildings. Executive Order 484 (2007) requires a reduction in overall energy consumption in state-owned and leased buildings (at which the state pays directly for energy) by 20% by fiscal year 2012 and 35% by 2020 (based on a fiscal year 2004 baseline). The executive order also states that all state agency new construction and major renovations over 20,000 sq. ft. must meet the MA LEED Plus green building standard and perform 20% better than the state energy code.
Governor Deval Patrick signed the Green Communities Act (S.B. 2768) on July 2, 2008. The law mandates that new buildings owned or operated by the state must minimize their life-cycle costs by using energy efficiency and renewable energy.
The State's Enterprise Energy Management System (EEMS) project was awarded to EnerNOC in April 2010. The EEMS is the largest public sector undertaking to measure real-time energy use information at 17 million square feet of buildings, tracking and comparing building energy consumption across a third of the state's building portfolio and enabling responses to energy anomalies on a real-time basis.
The state's Green Communities Division has also developed and implemented MassEnergyInsight, a free, web-based tool that helps cities and towns make informed, targeted decisions about energy efficiency investments. MassEnergyInsight provides communities with customized electricity, natural gas, and oil usage information to allow local officials to understand where their departments and buildings are wasting energy and act to reduce that waste.
Massachusetts is a partner in the US Department of Energy's Better Buildings Challenge (BBC), a voluntary program which sets long range energy reduction targets for a select portfolio of buildings, requires the state to track and report detailed energy use at its facilities annually, and develop and document one or more showcase projects that demonstrate best practices and far-reaching energy strategies.
Announced in January 2013, the Accelerated Energy Program, a joint initiative of the Department of Energy Resources and Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance, is targeting a 25% reduction in energy, greenhouse gas emissions and energy costs at 58 million square feet of state buildings. By moving quickly to install energy efficient equipment and fixtures at smaller sites and developing comprehensive energy efficiency programs at larger campuses and buildings, the Commonwealth will, by the end of 2014, initiate efforts to improve energy performance at the vast majority of its buildings, enhance working conditions, ands significantly reduce energy and maintenance costs associated with the operations of its buildings.
Two state buildings have/are participating in the Building Asset Rating (BAR) pilot, which is aimed at developing a low cost process for a building asset rating that will complement existing operational ratings. Additionally, DOER is funding and managing an effort to incorporate state utility accounts into Mass Energy Insight, which is providing granular level utility data for more than 240 municipalities.
Although not formally a requirement, as part of the efforts to push new building energy use far below code, the Commonwealth's Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance recently broke ground on the state's 2nd zero net energy designed building. This 45,000 square foot headquarters for the Division of Fish and Wildlife will use 60% less energy than a similar building built to code.

The Green Communities Act requires the state to purchase hybrid and alternative fuel vehicles in such numbers that 50% of the fleet is hybrid or AFV by 2017. It also requires development of a fuel efficiency standard for the state fleet, although that has not yet been developed. DOER and the Operational Services Division have been meeting to discuss the details of a Massachusetts fuel efficiency standard for the state's entire light duty fleet and a process for approval.
A recently awarded statewide vehicle contract has made an array of fuel efficient, hybrid and alternative fuel vehicles available for purchase by any state agency, campus, or municipality. Included on this contract are 20 models that get 30 mpg or better, 6 hybrid models that get 41 mpg or better in the city, 3 plug-in hybrid models, two electric only vehicles, and one vehicle that runs on compressed natural gas.

In 2007, Governor Patrick signed an Executive Order mandating reductions in energy consumption in state buildings, which included a provision that directed state agencies to implement ESPCs for all facilities larger than 100,000 square feet. The Department of Administration and Finance houses the ESPC Program under its sub-Department of Capital and Asset Management. Massachusetts offers some model documents, including a model contract.
Through the DCAMM-DOER Accelerated Energy Program which began in 2012, a total of more than $400 million in energy investments will be made for projects across 65 million square feet of state buildings, resulting in a 25% energy reduction and a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions totaling 135,000 metric tons. All projects are scheduled to begin by the end of CY 2014. Municipalities are also utilizing performance contracts, with contracts valued at $248 million completed or underway between 2002 and the present. These projects will reduce energy bills by $14.3 million in annual energy bill savings. Additionally, DOER signed onto the DOE Better Buildings Performance Contracting Accelerator, pledging at least $350 million toward energy projects at state and municipal buildings between 2013 and 2016.

The 2012 IECC and ASHRAE 90.1-2010, with state-specific amendments, became effective July 1, 2014 for both commercial and residential buildings. Massachusetts has implemented a variety of activities to ensure compliance.
In 2013, Massachusetts adopted the 2012 IECC and the ASHRAE standard 90.1-2010, with an effective date of July, 1 2014. The MA amendments add a HERS compliance path for units that receive a HERS rating of 65 or less, and a compliance path for buildings that use the Passive House software (PHPP). Massachusetts has achieved broad adoption of the 2009 MA Stretch Energy Code. It is currently adopted in 140 towns and cities representing over 50% of the state population. The MA stretch energy code requires HERS ratings for all new residential construction at a level of 65/70 based on whether the unit is above or below 3,000 square feet.

- Gap Analysis/Strategic Compliance Plan: NA
- Baseline & Updated Compliance Studies: In the past two years Massachusetts' utilities have completed a 2011-12 study of commercial building energy code compliance and a two-part residential building energy code compliance study. The first part of the residential study jointly funded by the Department of Energy Resources (DOER) and utilities sampled homes built to the 2006 IECC, homes built to ENERGY STAR (over a third of new construction), the second part assessed compliance to the 2009 IECC. The residential studies show code compliance rates of over 90% for HERS rated (stretch code and ENERGY STAR homes), and over 80% in IECC 2006 homes. The IECC 2009 home compliance rate and the commercial compliance rate are unknown. Enforcement is performed by local building code officials. In the 140 towns and cities that have elected to adopt the state's 'stretch' energy code, enforcement of the building energy code is greatly assisted by the integrated role of HERS raters in performing building envelope testing and documenting code compliance levels of energy performance. Code compliance in these communities is estimated at close to 100% for residential buildings, and energy savings are clearly documented by the performance-based HERS rating approach, which ties into ratepayer funded new construction incentives.
- Utility Involvement: A framework of savings attribution for utilities is being developed. Current utility sponsored trainings and compliance support are being implemented on a pilot basis with a view to a broader program in coming years.
- Stakeholder Advisory Group: NA
- Training/Outreach: The Green Communities Act requires the Board of Building Regulations and Standards (BBRS) and the DOER to develop specific energy efficiency training and certification for all local code officials. No training has been conducted to date in 2013/14 as MA awaits code cycle updates to the 2012 IECC / ASHRAE 90.1-2010. In the current 2012 IECC adoption cycle, MA is shifting from state energy office sponsored training to energy utility sponsored code training and compliance support activities under the broader Mass Save energy efficiency programs. Trainings are expected to begin in summer 2014.

The state has a variety of policies to encourage CHP deployment, including an incentive program, inclusion of CHP as an eligible resource within the state's EERS, and an interconnection standard that applies to CHP. 10 new CHP systems came online in the state during 2013.
Massachusetts' Green Communities Act of 2008 requires that all impacted utilities acquire all cost-effective energy efficiency, including CHP. CHP systems must pass the utilities' cost tests, but the state allows all utilities to use System Benefit Charges to offer incentives for CHP. The Act also established the state's Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard, which is the first known national portfolio standard to identify CHP as a "key technology of interest."
Policy: Massachusetts Distributed Generation Interconnection Rules
Description: Massachusetts' investor-owned utilities use an established interconnection process for all distributed generation, including CHP. There are three tiers of interconnection, corresponding with increased system scrutiny and fees. There is no set limit on system size, but a more extensive system impact study may be required on systems larger than 1MW, and is definitely required for systems larger than 5MW.
Last Updated: July 2014
Policy: Massachusetts Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard (APS), per Senate Bill 2768
Description: Per Massachusetts Senate Bill 2768, and effective January 1, 2009, the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources established an APS, in addition to its existing Renewable Portfolio Standard. The APS sets targets for sales of "alternative" energy to retail customers by electricity suppliers. For the purposes of the APS, CHP is specifically included as an "alternative generation unit."
Policy: Energy Efficiency First Fuel Requirement
Description: This bill required electric and gas utilities prioritize cost-effective energy efficiency and demand reduction resources over supply resources and ordered that utilities submit three-year plans outlining how they would meet the requirement. Demand side resources include "energy efficiency, load management, demand response and generation that is located behind a customer's meter including a CHP system with an annual efficiency of 60% or greater with the goal of 80% annual efficiency for CHP systems by 2020."
Last Updated: July 2014
Policy: MassSave - Utility Energy Efficiency Program
Description: CHP systems that receive incentives through the MassSave Program are also eligible for a $500,000 interest-free loan.

Policy: MassSave - Utility Energy Efficiency Program
Description: All owners of CHP systems are eligible for this program. Three tiers of incentives are available to utility customers considering energy efficiency measures in conjunction with installing a CHP system--basic, moderate, and advanced.
Last Updated: July 2014
There are currently no favorable revenue streams, such as wholesale net metering or a feed-in tariff, that apply to CHP.
Policy: Massachusetts Net Metering
Description: Net metering was originally authorized for renewable-energy systems and combined-heat-and-power (CHP) facilities with a generating capacity up to 30 kilowatts (kW) by the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities (DPU) in 1982. In 1997, the maximum individual system capacity was raised to 60 kW and customers were permitted to carry any net excess generation to the next bill. In July 2008, net metering was significantly expanded by S.B. 2768 and the DPU adopted rules implementing the law in June 2009.
The DPU adopted amended net-metering rules in July 2009. In August 2009, the DPU issued its model net metering tariff so that customers in Massachusettsare subject to the same net metering tariffs regardless of utility. The state's investor-owned utilities must offer net metering. Municipal utilities are not obligated to offer net metering, but they may do so voluntarily. The aggregate capacity of net metering is limited to 1% of each utility's peak load.
CHP systems under 60 kW are eligible as "Class I" systems for net metering in Massachusetts.
Last Updated: July 2014
Policy: Massachusetts General Law Chapter 111, Sections 142A through 142 M
Description: For the Massachusetts NOx cap and trade program, designed to meet the requirements of the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR), NOx emissions of CHP systems are calculated using an output-based methodology.
Note that new rules promulgated by the U.S. EPA will replace the CAIR program and require. Massachusetts also uses an output-based approach when regulated several pollutants, including CO2, from existing power plants. Allocations under the state's RGGI trading program were also done on an output bases.

Massachusetts is a leading state with a long, successful record of implementing energy efficiency programs for all customer sectors. The state created an aggressive funding mechanism and required electric utilities to provide energy efficiency programs during its restructuring of the industry in 1997. The natural gas utilities in the state have offered energy efficiency programs to customers since the late 1980s.
In 2008, the governor signed Chapter 169 of the Acts of 2008, An Act Relative to Green Communities. The new law altered the approval process and timeline for electric and natural gas utility energy efficiency plans and required the utilities to file the plans every three years. The law required the state's regulatory authority, the Department of Public Utilities, to ensure that energy efficiency programs "are delivered in a cost-effective manner capturing all available efficiency opportunities, minimizing administrative costs to the fullest extent practicable, and utilizing competitive procurement processes to the fullest extent practicable." In addition, the law directed the DPU to appoint and convene an Energy Efficiency Advisory Council (EEAC), whose members play a key role in designing, approving, and monitoring the energy efficiency programs of Massachusetts' investor-owned utilities. The EEAC's primary mandate is achieving the goals outlined in the Green Communities Act and developing long-term vision, including recommendations concerning studies and research to achieve the goals of acquiring all cost-effective efficiency that is less than the cost of generation, and maximizing economic and environmental benefits that can be realized through increased energy efficiency.
Massachusetts' approach has resulted in one of the most ambitious fully-funded state savings targets, annual electric savings targets ramping up from 2.5% to 2.6% from 2013-2015. The state's three year plan also includes gas savings of about 1.1% of retail sales annually. Utility companies in the state manage and implement efficiency programs. The low-income residential demand-side management and education programs are implemented through the state's low-income weatherization and fuel assistance program.
Massachusetts has decoupling in place for all of its gas and electric utilities. Utility companies can earn a shareholder incentive of approximately 5% of energy efficiency program costs for meeting energy saving, benefit-cost, and market transformation goals.
The most recent budgets for energy efficiency programs and electricity and natural gas savings can be found in the State Spending and Savings Tables.
Massachusetts has a restructured utility industry with competitive generation and retail markets. The distribution companies remain regulated and are required to offer energy efficiency and other demand-side management programs. The law governing these programs is Massachusetts General Law, Chapter 25 §19. The distribution utilities administer their own energy efficiency programs with collaborative input and oversight from the Massachusetts Energy Efficiency Advisory Council, a stakeholder body chaired by the state Division of Energy Resources (DOER). The Department of Public Utilities has regulatory responsibility.
All investor-owned gas and electric utilities and energy efficiency service providers have partnered together to sponsor the Mass Save initiative. Administrators work with the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources to provide a wide range of services, incentives, trainings, and information promoting energy efficiency. A variety of electric and gas efficiency programs are also offered directly through IOUs and municipal utilities. Some municipal utilities also offer energy efficiency programs. Energy efficiency program funds must be allocated to customer classes, including the low-income residential subclass, in proportion to these customers' contributions to those funds. At least 10% of the funding for electric energy efficiency programs and at least 20% of the funding for gas energy efficiency programs must be spent on low-income residential demand-side management and education programs.
In 2012, the state created a pilot program for large gas and electric customers. Five Largest Gas and Electric Customers Accelerated Rebate Pilot: Sections 5 and 54 of An Act Relative to Competitively Priced Electricity in the Commonwealth, requires the program administrators to implement a pilot program for their five largest gas and electric customers based upon specific customer locations in their respective service territories known as the voluntary accelerated rebate pilot program. Customers electing to participate shall be eligible for financial support of up to 100 per cent of the cost for qualified energy efficiency measures, as determined by the Program Administrator, using criteria included in the Three Year Plan. In addition, up to 15% of any accelerated rebate may be used for other improvements that support energy efficiency improvements made under a program approved by the department or emission reductions, including, but not limited to, infrastructure improvements, metering, circuit level technology and software
The most recent budgets for energy efficiency programs and electricity and natural gas savings can be found in the State Spending and Savings Tables.

The Green Communities Act requires that electric and gas utilities make acquiring all cost-effective energy efficiency a higher priority than using other resources. The Act created an Energy Efficiency Advisory Council (EEAC) that works with utility program administrators to establish statewide plans for gas and electric utilities for 3 years into the future. Utilities must "provide for the acquisition of all available energy efficiency and demand reduction resources that are cost effective or less expensive than supply" in coordination with the EEAC. Utilities prepare plans for the Department of Public Utilities that establish annual budgets and goals over a period of three years. This process is open to the public.
Last Updated: July 2014
Summary: Electric: Annual savings targets began at 1.4% in 2010, ramping up to 2.6% by 2015. Natural Gas: Targets began at 0.63% in 2010, ramping up to 1.14% by 2015.
The Green Communities Act requires that electric and gas utilities procure all cost-effective energy efficiency before more expense supply resources, requiring a three year planning cycle. In January 2013, the DPU approved the second 3-year (2013-2015) electric and gas energy efficiency plans under the Green Communities Act, continuing the state's progress toward the most ambitious energy savings targets in the country. The first electric efficiency procurement plancalled for savings 1.0% in 2009, 1.4% in 2010, 2.0% in 2011, and 2.4% in 2012. The state's second three-year plan calls for savings to increase to 2.6% in 2015. The energy efficiency investments in 2013-2015 are expected to save 3,703 GWh of electricity in 2015. The statewide totals are comprised of individual program administrator savings.
The state's natural gas plan will save 24.75 MMTherms in 2015, equivalent to 1.14 percent of retail natural gas sales in 2015. Overall, the fully funded 2013-2015 electric and natural gas efficiency procurement plans will yield net consumer savings of more than $6.2 billion. The energy savings proposed in the current three year plan represent a 55 percent increase compared to the energy savings achieved in previous three-year plans.

Massachusetts is currently implementing decoupling for all of its gas and electric utilities pursuant to DPU Docket 07-50-A (July 2008). Target revenues are determined on a utility-wide basis, and can be adjusted for inflation or capital spending requirements if necessary. The Massachusetts DPU has approved decoupling plans for National Grid Electric Company (DPU 09-39), National Grid Gas Company (DPU 10-55), Bay State Gas Company (DPU 09-30) and Western Massachusetts Electric Company (DPU 10-70). Each distribution company is required to institute a decoupling mechanism with its next filed rate case.
Shareholder incentives are in place for electric and gas utilities. The shareholder incentive provides an opportunity for companies to earn about 5% of program costs as an incentive for meeting program goals. The incentive is based on a combination of elements including energy savings, benefit-cost, and market transformation results. The order that approved the incentive is DTE Order 98-100 (DTE is now DPU).

- Cost-effectiveness test(s) used: TRC
- Uses a deemed savings database: yes (MA Technical Reference Manual)
The evaluation of ratepayer-funded energy efficiency programs in Massachusetts relies on both legislative mandates (Green Communities Act of 2008) and regulatory orders (DPU 8-50-A). The order follows the legislation. Evaluations are mainly administered by the Energy Efficiency Program Administrators, however, the Massachusetts's Energy Efficiency Advisory Council oversees the evaluations. Statewide evaluations are conducted, with the exception of PA-specific pilots. There are no specific legal requirements for these evaluations. Massachusetts uses benefit-cost tests in connection with their ratepayer-funded energy efficiency programs. Massachusetts relies on the Total Resource Cost (TRC) test and considers it to be its primary test for decision making. Resource and non-resource benefits are determined through the EM&V process to be included in the TRC and approved by the DPU. The rules for benefit-cost tests are stated in the Green Communities Act of 2008 and DPU 8-50-A. Benefit-cost tests are required at the overall portfolio and total program levels screening.
In 2013, the Mass Save program administrators issued their first 3-year strategic EM&V plan outlining scopes and suggested outcomes of the studies planned through 2015. Impact, process and market assessments are all considered through a stakeholder process.

Transportation and Land use Integration: The issuance of Executive Order 385 ("Planning for Smart Growth") in 1996 led to the creation of a number of smart growth initiatives that targeted concentrated growth and the revitalization of urban centers. However, it wasn't until 2000, when the state passed the Community Preservation Act, that smart growth planning was solidified in the law and a program was established to support communities' preservation of open space. Massachusetts subsequently adopted Chapter 40R, the Smart Growth Zoning Law, which provides financial incentives for municipalities to increase density and build affordable housing in areas with good access to transit. The Commonwealth Capital program, initiated in 2005, applies several smart growth criteria to municipalities' applications for state funding.
VMT Targets: In 2009, the state implemented language from Chapter 90E, mandating the accommodation of biking and pedestrian traffic in future transportation construction plans. This was followed by the launch of Massachusetts Department of Transportation's GreenDOT program aimed at reducing the state's contribution of transportation sector greenhouse gas emissions.
Complete Streets: Massachusetts Chapter 90E provides for the accommodation of bicycle and pedestrian traffic in the planning, design, and construction, reconstruction or maintenance of any project undertaken.
Freight Plans and Goals: The state completed a state freight plan in 2010.

Policy: M.G.L. Chapter 25B, § 1, et seq., Appliance Efficiency Standards Act
Description: Having originally adopted standards in 1986, Massachusetts was one of the first states to adopt appliance standards after California paved the way in 1974. In 2005, Massachusetts expanded its appliance standards legislation to cover seven products. The federal Energy Policy Act of 2005 and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, however, introduced standards that preempted state standards for five of those products. New products that are considered for state standards are adopted through the Division of Energy Resources (DOER).
In 2009, Massachusetts developed an application for a waiver of federal standards for gas furnace (and fans) minimum efficiency in order to implement its own, more stringent, standard; it is the only state to have done so. Their waiver application helped spur manufacturer interest in a negotiated federal standard. Federal standards preempted Massachusetts' standard for furnaces in 2013 and furnace fans will be preempted in 2017.

Earls Special Red Snapper
Illustration by Mike Lee
Earl wore overalls as roughly 40 percent of Earls do but kept a corncob pipe in his breast pocket, which elevated him to a rarefied status enjoyed by just three in every 100 Earls. Some people are born with the name Earl, but it doesnt really matter. Where I come from, no matter what name youre given at birth, if, after you retire, you wear the same pair of overalls every day, keeping the pockets rattling with a pound of loose change, a big ol wad of keys and a Buck knife, youre legally required to change your name to Earl.
Or so Id heard. This was, in fact, the first Earl Id ever met who actually wore the standard-issue Earl uniform and spoke Earltalk: Boy, I tell you . . . and Is that right? and something else I cant recall right now (not Hoo-doggies but something just as intense).
A British nobleman ranking between a marquess and a viscount, the Oxford English Dictionary insisted, but to us he was just Earl. Earl the Handyman, the Lawnman, that Yardfellow. Earl was the landlords friend who took care of the yard just mowing the lawn, mostly; maybe uproot a weed or prune a branch every few months at the small house my girlfriend and cat and I rented in Venice. His services were included free! with our rent.
Until the day when Earl announced that he would no longer be taking care of the yard. He did not say why. The lawn, however, continued to grow, so Earl said we could borrow his lawnmower as long as we brought it back when we were done. Every week or two, one or two of us would drive the mile or so to Earls apartment, stuff his hearty Toro lawnmower into our sedan, drive home, mow the lawn, stuff the lawnmower back into the sedan, drive back to Earls, listen to Earl talk about Earl for no less than 20 minutes in his incredibly hot and stuffy living room, then drive back home and recover with gin and with tonic, with lime.
One of these hot afternoons after wed dropped off the mower with Earl and were hoping please, God, just this once to leave immediately, Earl asked us if wed like to know how to make the best red snapper hed ever tasted. Owing to Earls hollow, wide-eyed glare and substantial collection of chain saws (part of the whole Earl mystique), such offers were not to be even politely turned down.
Sometimes the grass chute would get clogged, but Earls stories were consistently the most toilsome part of mowing the lawn. The last time, it had been would we like to know why and how he re-upholstered the couch, who he got to advise him, how much the materials cost, how long it took him to raise the money, the name of his bank, which branch, the traffic on the way to the bank, finding a parking spot, the line inside, this one lady who really let the smart-mouthed teller have it and so on.
Yes, I said. We would like to know how to make the best red snapper youve ever tasted.
Well then, what you want to do, Earl began, reseating us on the couch and hunkering down intimately beside us (where others perch, Earls hunker down), is, first you set your oven to 350 and just let it warm up and reach temperature. Then you take your fillet and wash it in cold water.
Then you put it in a pan with some salt and pepper and a little bit of butter.
Then you put the pan in the oven and leave it there for about 10 minutes.
And when you take it out boy, I tell you. That is the best-tasting red snapper you will ever have.
* * *
By the time most of us retire, we wont. Instead, Americans will be kept alive, like it or not, via monthly DNA-splicing procedures, which will supersede Social Security checks and keep us useful to our beloved corporations for 60 hours per week until death, at which time well reduce to part time (with no benefits). Then, and only then, will we have time to cook a decent meal once a week or so, and Berkeleys Searchable Online Archive of Recipes, with its thousands of explicit, free food-grooming instructions, will keep our corpses fit and our spirits happy.
The Toro Co., manufacturer of nature-tweaking devices since 1914, has created a convenient cartoon Earl to help you tend to your summer-roasted lawn. Earl, the Yard-Care Answer Guy, is prepared to tell long stories of grass, bugs, soil, weeds and watering, as well as answer most lawn-carerelated queries with Ask Jeeves style obliquity.
Properly tiled, a lovely red snapper appearing neither happy nor sad, neither dead nor alive JPEG from Dockside Seafood in North Palm Beach, Florida, fulfills the federal desktop-background requirement for Earls.

Sorry.. Not cute!!!
(50 stars)
After installing, I ran the preview, which crashed once. Then, when I set the wallpaper, it defaulted to the standard wallpaper on my phone rather than the 8-bit clock. The preview was enough anyway, that giant TRIAL plastered across the screen makes this a no-go. A great idea, but very poorly executed.
(50 stars)
I have a galaxy note 2 and it just force closes while setting up so why would I even buy the paid version. This app is a fail.

Stop bit?hing and pay 99 fu?king cents great job making it looks great

Here is some info. 1. Don't installal 2. The word TRIAL floats And 3.just it is really gives me the creeps that TRIAL floats around.
(50 stars)
Thanks, just enough to get an idea of full version. Great colors! However, I have to respond to Stephen-1/5/2013. Free phones given to low income households are unable to receive downloaded apps! Their function is for phone calls & text messages. Please do your research before displaying your ignorance for all to see.

Creating the Embroidery:
Open Embroidery Edit on a machine such as a Duetta or Quattro.
Place the embroidery card in the machine. Select Design #8, press SET and EDIT END.
Duplicate border design to fit the size hoop you are using.
Choose the thread mark option and place a thread mark in the outside corner of entire design.
Hoop the adhesive back stabilizer. Remove protective sheet to expose sticky surface.
Center the area to be embroidered on the adhesive back stabilizer and press in place.
If using the continuous border hoop, place the stabilizer directly on the towel and position in the hoop centering the towel appropriately.
Stitch the first design.
- Remove from the hoop and rehoop to continue the border design.
Finishing the Towel:
To create the ruffle border, cut a strip 3 times the width of the towel to allow for gathering.
The width of the ruffle is a personal preference. The ruffle in the picture was cut at 4" allowing for a generous ¼ seam allowance. Fold in half, to create a 2" strip and press.
Gather using the Ruffler Foot.
Stitch to the bottom of the towel.
- Add the decorative ribbon to cover the raw edge of the ruffle.

June 25, 2014
WALLACE, S.C. — As Independence Day draws near, some Richmond County residents will flock south of the border for fireworks.
The Tar Heel State has a ban on any pyrotechnics that spin or leave the ground, including bottle rockets and Roman candles, allowing only simple fireworks such as sparklers and smokers. There are few exceptions, which require a permit from government bodies.
Anyone caught possessing or using contraband fireworks can be charged with a misdemeanor.
A Wednesday drive through Marlboro County, South Carolina, found only one open vendor, Highway 1 Fireworks, just south of the state line near Wallace.
Shuford Quick, the store's owner, said most of the other stands won't open until the weekend before July Fourth. He said his store has been open since Memorial Day and will stay open until Independence Day, opening again for Labor Day weekend and the week before Christmas.
Quick said that although he has some local business, North Carolinians make up for 80-90 percent of his revenue.
"North Carolinians every year are forced to venture to South Carolina and Tennessee to purchase fireworks that are not permitted in N.C. while our state continues to lose millions of dollars in much-needed revenue every year," said Zach Harris, a resident of Matthews.
Harris started the Facebook page Legalize Consumer Fireworks in North Carolina last December, and says he strongly disagrees with the current state law.
"I got the idea to write each legislator in the North Carolina General Assembly last Fourth of July pertaining to legalizing more pyrotechnics and (promoting) safety over prohibition," he said.
Harris said he has spoken with Rep. Mark Brody, R-Union, who also represents neighboring Anson County, and plans to submit a comprehensive proposal legalizing all consumer pyrotechnics for Brody to introduce next January.
"My proposal, while allowing citizens of North Carolina to use and sell consumer fireworks, will strengthen penalties for those who choose to misuse consumer fireworks and the tax revenue received from firework sales will benefit public safety throughout the state," he said.
Mitch Kokai, a policy analyst with the John Locke Foundation, said a blanket ban on fireworks doesn't make sense and the state shouldn't be in the business of making purchasing decisions for the people.
"If government got out of the way of people's choices to buy fireworks, North Carolina counties along the border with South Carolina could see an economic impact," he said.
Harris agrees.
"Most public officials, particularly the fire service, say, 'Leave the pyro to the professionals,'" he said.
"Instead, I would like to say to the residents of North Carolina: Celebrate the birth of our nation as you wish to do so and if you do choose to use consumer fireworks, please do so safely and make sure you have a water source handy."
Harris added, "Make sure once you finish using consumer fireworks, clean up all firework debris left."

Review of Crowne Plaza at Malpensa

This was not the typical Crowne Plaza Hotel that I am accustomed to. It looked like an old building, but the services were adequate. The restaurant was very good. We stayed there because of the name and the price.

Dear BGSU87, thank you very much for choosing the Crowne Plaza Milan Malpensa for your recent stay in the area. We are happy to know you appreciated our rooms and we are sorry that you didn't appreciate the charge of the shuttle bus.

Protect and prop up your Motorola Droid X with the snap-on case with kickstand.
Pricing not available
Keen observers notice that what seemed like Surfaces on the surface actually held up iPads. CNN, however, says it had no product-placement deal with Microsoft.
The Lenovo Yoga Tablet 8 and 10 sport a unique design, but are held back by mediocre screens and lacking internal specs.
Lenovo has two new tablets for your consideration, with tremendous promises of 18-hour battery life and nifty little kickstands.
This 13-inch tablet offers a flexible kickstand, but might prove a bit unwieldy.
The retailer's promotion scores you a gift card and a coupon good toward the purchase of a new Surface Pro 3 when you trade in your existing tablet.
This column originally mischaracterized the kickstand capabilities of the Surface. The kickstand supports the tablet in both landscape and portrait modes.
The iconic tablet was a phenomenon out of the gate, but with sales slowing, the iPad finds itself at a crossroads on the fifth anniversary of its original launch.
A seriously versatile keychain accessory, this little cube converts into a sync cable, kickstand, flashlight, and whole lot more.
The Pro version of everyone's favorite virtual globe used to cost $399 -- per year! Now it's free. Freeeeee!

I am upscaling an access 2003 database to SQL Server Express 2008. The tables appear to be created ok and the data looks ok.
I have an MFC application that connects to this database. It worked fine connecting to access, but when I connect to SQL Server I am getting the following error on a select statement.
DBMS: Microsoft SQL Server
Version: 10.50.1600
ODBC Driver Manager Version: 03.80.0000
Warning: ODBC Success With Info on field 0.
String data, right truncation
State:01004,Native:0,Origin:[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]
The data that is returned should be 8 characters but is only 7 with the right most character truncated.
The access front end can read the data from SQL Server correctly.
The field in the SQL Server table is defined as nvarchar with a length of 8.
The code to read the field looks something like
CDatabase Database;
CString sSerialNumber = "00000000";
CString SqlString;
CString sDsn = "Driver={SQL Server};Server=server\\db;Database=Boards;Uid=uid;Pwd=pwd;Trusted_Connection=False";
CRecordset recset( &Database );
SqlString.Format("Select SerialNumber from boards where MACAddress = '%s'",mac);
After this, sSerialNumber should be 12345678 but its 1234567
Thanks for the help

Gabriel Stulman has built an impressive dining empire in a short time by doing things the traditional way.
Tien Ho is back, and he's bringing gaufrettes and tartare.

And the street gets even more chic.
"I had what they call the Pecan Duck, as in the nut. And I thought it was genius, witty, and super spot-on."

'South Pacific' is the first production in Vista amphitheater's summer season
First, on Friday nights, the amphitheater's Artisan Cafe will be staying open until midnight to host after-theater parties, with a mashed potato bar, hot wings and drinks, where showgoers can mingle with friends and cast members after the show.
The theater is also expanding its family ticket packages. On Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday nights, lawn tickets for children ages 15 and under are $10, when accompanied by two adults. And now on Friday nights, the same deal is offered for $15. These tickets are available only at the box office on the night of the show.
Besides opening the season on Wednesday, Glaudini said he will announce from the stage that night the four shows that make up the 2014 season, which he promises will continue his new tradition of big shows with spectacular sets and costumes, starring a mix of Broadway and local actors.
"South Pacific" has been a big ticket-seller, Glaudini said, but it's also a sentimental favorite for him.
The last time Moonlight produced this musical in 1998, Glaudini played the role of Seabee Luther Billis and his best friend, Eric Anderson, starred as Lt. Cable. Today, Glaudini's running the Moonlight and Anderson has a flourishing Broadway career (he played "Stewpot" in Lincoln Center's "South Pacific, and he just left the Tony-winning "Kinky Boots" to play the lead in Broadway's "Soul Doctor").
"It's very exciting for me to carry on Kathy's legacy and to get to be a part of all the shows here," he said. "Bets and I are happy to be in Vista and we're loving our life right now."

text: Brad Guzan was frustrated at the defeat to Liverpool but stressed there are a lot of points still to play for between now and the end of the season. Villa went down 2-1 to the Reds, Christian Benteke's first-half goal cancelled out by second-half efforts from Jordan Henderson and Steven Gerrard. Guzan called the match a "tale of two halves" and admitted the claret and blues came up short against Brendan Rodgers's men.

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items )
It was unforgivable--and unbelievable--but he had an erection.
At almost thirty, one should not get aroused just from sitting across the table from a woman. Granted, she was an exceptionally lovely young lady, but still, she was just another female.
What the devil was wrong with him?
Jonas tasted the claret, felt a measure of gratitude it was at least a decent vintage, and shifted in his chair to ease his discomfort. Keeping his expression as neutral as possible, he said, "I realize this afternoon was not as fruitful as we wished, but we will make more progress tomorrow. Surely someone will remember a pretty woman heavy with child traveling alone."
Marianne glanced up from her abstract contemplation of the ruby liquid in her glass. "I hope so." Her soft mouth quivered ever so slightly and he couldn't help but being entranced by the sensual fullness of her lower lip. He'd noticed it before, of course, but it glistened temptingly in the candlelight at the moment and drew his complete attention. Actually, everything about Miss Glass was tempting, from the lustrous mass of her striking auburn hair, to the ivory perfection of her oval face, to the undeniably female curves of her body.
What would she taste like? He pictured himself slowly licking that soft lower curve, and then molding his mouth to hers in what he imagined would be her first kiss.
And if she knew, he thought wryly, the direction of his lascivious thoughts, much less saw the prominent bulge in his breeches, she would immediately reconsider his innocence in the seduction of her sister. No, he didn't routinely dash around England luring lush young daughters of country vicars into his bed, but thisparticular one was fascinating.
If he reflected more deeply, he wondered at his insistence on her having a more fashionable gown to wear. Surely it wasn't because the lower neckline exposed the upper curves of her--from what he could see--very shapely breasts, and emphasized the slimness of her waist? He wasn't merely giving her a change of clothing if he were honest. He was pleasing himself.
The soft blue color suited her, he decided, declining to further analyze his motives. It brought out the vivid color of her beautiful eyes.
"Have I grown a second nose?"
The tart question brought him out of his reverie. Jonas blinked. "I beg your pardon?"
"You said it to me this afternoon," Marianne explained. In the soft light of the inn's dining area, her cheeks looked a little pink.
He had indeed. Uncharacteristically disconcerted, he eased back a fraction in his chair again. His cock actually throbbed.
"I am sorry, was I staring?"
"A little." The color in her face deepened and she self-consciously tugged at the neckline of her gown a little before it seemed she realized what she was doing and quickly dropped her hand.
Recovering his composure, Jonas gave her a bland smile. "Forgive me. I think I am still a little at a loss as to how I am suddenly on this odd quest for a woman I do not even know."
He should have said he was at a loss for the immense attraction to a woman he didn't even know and was not suitable in any way.
She arched a delicately-shaped brow. "How do you think I feel? I was certain you were a villain, yet here I am with you." After a moment, she added, "Alone."
He really, really, wished she hadn't pointed that fact out in such a forthright manner. But then again, Marianne Glass seemed to be forthright about most things.
His fingers smoothed the stem of his wine glass. "Rest assured I would never do anything you did not desire."
Well, hell, that came out all wrong. Why did he use the word desire? He wasn't usually gauche and uncomfortable talking to women, and certainly an unworldly country miss shouldn't make him so off balance.
Her azure eyes widened and he gave a small self-deprecating laugh. "I think I phrased that poorly. I meant nothing by it, Miss Glass, so do not look alarmed."
"I am not alarmed," she denied, but her smooth cheeks held a hint of pink.
The small dining room was nearly deserted at the late hour, and a sudden silence descended. Jonas sipped his wine and wondered with an inward curse how difficult it would be to conceal his embarrassing state once it was time to go up to their rooms. The fashion of the day that required tight trousers was a bit inconvenient if a man was as hard as a rock. He felt the constriction at his crotch and fought the urge to shift position again.
He didn't know her at all really, and since when did he get the irresistible urge to take some grass green girl to bed? He always chose experienced lovers, for they knew how to give pleasure as well as receive it. Somehow he doubted she even fully understood the process of sexual intercourse.
Of course, he'd love to teach her. The insidious thought sprang into his mind before he could stop it.
Her lashes lowered and she looked at her wine glass with sudden concentration. When she looked up again, those tantalizing lips curved into a wry smile. "I believe I am beginning to understand how my sister came to the state she is in, Lord Wilding. Quite obviously smooth manners, a charming smile, and a handsome face inspire trust."
"I hope you are not putting me in the same category as the man who fathered her child and apparently abandoned her," Jonas said a little too curtly, since he wasn't at all sure he was any better, not with his rigid cock as evidence.
"No." She shook her head, tendrils of red-brown hair brushing her graceful shoulders. "I like to think I can judge a person's character fairly well. Upon closer acquaintance, I believe if you had seduced her, you would care for her and the child."
The subject of children, or the process of creating one anyway, was probably not one they should discuss at the moment.
"Thank you for the exoneration. I told you last evening I do not run about begetting illegitimate children, but you are correct. If it had been me, I would do my utmost to make sure she was cared for and certainly I would never turn my back on my flesh and blood."
"Do you have a mistress?"
Jonas choked a little on his mouthful of wine. "What?"

Have suitcase will travel
Now let's go onto more important matters at hand. That suitcase! A vintage Penguin Original. The colors are to die for. I love the juxtaposition of the bold graphic print against the soft mint handle and vinyl trim.
shop. I really, really, really want to keep it and think I will use Bronson as my excuse. It's the perfect little travel bag for him. There I go again talking about traveling. A vacation is long over due.
P.S. A little photoshop fun and all of a sudden my house looks like the Ropers apartment. Are you surprised I have an orange wall? I wish it was more bink & boo orange, but it's more Longhorn orange - the hubs picked it. In the land of USC we're reppin' Texas. HOOK 'EM HORNS!

The Roper's! I always loved Mrs. Roper's mumu's:) Never would've guessed the plant was fake. I say keep it. And I also say keep the OG Penguin for Bronson. Too cool.ReplyDelete
The plant looks real and I like the pot. That was a good find for $2, I say keep it. The luggage is adorable! I say keep that too :)ReplyDelete

When I started b&w, I obsessed over every millidram of each chemical, the temps, vacuuming my bottles etc. Over time I started to sort the technical issues into things that matter a lot, things that matter, and things that don't matter at all... and started to spend time on the former. The whole process then became far more enjoyable.
FWIW I can offer an analogy to sculling, which I used to teach quite regularly. A beginner reluctantly gets into that little scull, has a death grip on the oars and every little ripple throws them into a mad panic. 99% of the coaching boils down to convincing them that the scull wants to stay upright, the water wants to carry them on, and any instability in the rig comes from them and their nervous reactions. So too photography: it's easy to sort out what matters and what doesn't, and if one has an attitude of fretting over the things that ultimately don't matter, then the whole process is less enjoyable. Some people have a remarkable ability to find problems where none exist.
So again, all I am saying is: there are a whole lot of variables at play in the whole process. Perhaps too many to count. If one obsesses over each and every one then one simply won't have time to clear your head and think as freely and creatively as one could.
One could of course say that you might have extra base fog from some minor light leak in your darkroom. But "might" isn't good enough, if you think it's an issue then check it out, it'll take no more than a few minutes to develop a test strip and see. I am not saying take it on faith, I am saying you know damn well how to find out if it matters, so just do it and move on.

Looks right up your street.
Reviews are coming in.
3 stars in Total Film. No link as it's got quite a big spoiler in the review if you've not seen the trailers.
It's probably going to be a bit average in all honesty but the new setting and characters maybe better than the Origins story.

Den of geek 3/5
Know someone who went to a press screening last night who is a major X-Men nerd. He was incredibly disappointed (again) that one of the best characters of the franchise has been shoehorned into a mediocre action film.
I thought it looked a bit rubbish from the trailer

X-Men 1 and 2 are brilliant films that really set the tone for what a modern comic book adaptation should be, they had the perfect balance of action, strong narrative and mature character development.
Sadly it all went downhill from there. Although First Class was a step in the right direction, but more than a little rough around the edges.
I thought x men 2 was class, although I havent watched it for a good few years now. 3 was awful and killed off that continuation. 1st class was a really good one though

I wonder had Darren Aronofsky directed as originally intended, had it turned out much different?
I thought the trailers made it look like it could be a fun action film. I still may find this to be the case but I've not got high hopes.
Can't seem to find any 2D showings either. Meh!

Saw the trailer for this at the flicks in front of Man Of Steel recently.
Everyone laughed their heads off at it, including me.
Looks shit. Will flop.

I can't see it flopping, it's got a good few weeks to itself in the US, and the masses love Wolverine in any ole shit (X3 and Origins did well). I'm not remotely hyped for it, so maybe it'll be a pleasant surprise when I catch it. (Yes, I'm one of those that will tend to watch any old shit at the cinema)
I doubt it will flop either. I don't think anyone's going to see this expecting to have their world turned upside-down.

I saw the trailer in 3D a few weeks back and it was easily the worst example of 3D post-production I've ever seen - reminded me of parallex scrolling!
