While there are many guestbook scripts active out there these days, I think it is about time the guestbookers of the world join the rest of us in the year 2010. The idea of hosting a guest book has come and gone, and has been replaced by much more efficient ways of communication.
So what could you replace your guestbook with? I have a few suggestions that might meet your needs.
Shout Box – Shout boxes are usually little boxes that life in the sidebar of a web site, and allow people to comment live on the web page with other users. One of the more popular shout box-like services I would recommend looking into would be Google Friend Connect's comments gadget.
Blog – Getting a blog setup and running on your web hosting account is another great way to get commenting added to your web site fairly easily. Almost every blog script out there will let you comment on an article you post. Our Blog Hosting Guide is a great first step to check out, if you want to get a blog powered by WordPress up and running in less than an hour.
Forums – My last suggestion is a script and service that just screams for user participation. Forum scripts will give your web site visitors a place to post their own topics, have discussions and interact with each other on your web hosting account. Out of all the forum scripts out there, I think SMF might be the very best.
So there you have three more modern ways to have comments left on a web page, that will finally help put the final nail in the coffin for the online guestbook. If you have any other suggestions, be sure to leave them in the comments.

Rohani: Iran has always been the victim of terrorism. And also, as you know, since the revolution, terrorist groups inside Iran have been active against the government. And some of these terrorist groups have been supported by Western countries, and America in particular. But Iran has always been against terrorism, and has always fought against terrorism.
Wallace: U.S. officials say that with the Taliban now gone, that Iran is the most active state sponsor of terrorism.
Rohani: What is the reason for what they claim?
Wallace: Well, let me give you some examples, sir. Why did Iran try to smuggle a shipload full of arms to the Palestinians?
Rohani: We have been waiting for a reason for this accusation for the longest time. Do you have any proof to present to us? We have said clearly that this is a baseless accusation, and for this accusation, evidence must be given. Besides, Mr. Arafat's government is a legitimate government, and this legitimate government has the right to buy arms from any other government if it chooses to. This has nothing to do with terrorism.
Wallace: Did Iran try to smuggle a shipload of arms to the Palestinians?
Rohani: I have told you this is not true and we have repeatedly said that if everyone has any evidence of this, they should present it.
Wallace: But didn't this ship pick up these arms off the Iranian island of Kish?
Rohani: No. We have declared clearly that this is not true. And we have also declared that any country that has evidence should present it. This accusation comes from Israel and unfortunately it has also been repeated by some American officials.
Wallace: Before we came here, we talked to some American officials because we know that is the position of your government: Show us the evidence. So I will tell you some of the things they said: There were 50 tons of weapons that were seized on this ship, including Katyusha rockets, explosives, AK-47s, and many of these weapons are manufactured only in Iran.
Rohani: OK, if you have any proof that they are manufactured in Iran, please show it to us. And also as you know, Iranian weapons are in the hands of all kinds of terrorist groups, including anti-government terrorists who commit acts of terrorism inside Iran. These terrorist groups have looted these arms from the Iranian military. Therefore, it is not difficult to gain access to Iranian weapons. Besides, these weapons exist in neighboring countries, and we sell and have sold a lot of these weapons to our neighbors.
Wallace: You ask for evidence. I have some photos that were taken after the ship was seized by the Israelis. Do any of these weapons look familiar to you? (Hands him photos)
Rohani: This is not a reason. (Laughs.) You are showing me pictures of a weapon! What kind of proof is that, even to your eyes? This is only a picture of a weapon. We can also show you a picture of a weapon anywhere from the United States. A picture is not evidence of anything.
Wallace: But U.S. officials say that some of these weapons — the anti-tank mines, the rocket-propelled grenades — are made only in Iran, and that the markings had been scratched off.

40 year old man | Woodland Hills, CA, USA | Seeking women 27-121 within 25 miles
Active within 24 hours
Big strong man, like tiger!
Hi :) I have a really strong Italian name, and love to cook even though it's more like I Love Lucy style sometimes. Working on my chef skills, and only have random kitchen explosions on Tuesdays... I swear. Serious stuff: Looking for a wing girl with long term potential. We'd be a love hate thing, because you wouldn't put up with any of my crap, and I wouldn't put up with any of yours. You can swear like a drunken sailor with witty sarchasm, yet can give an Academy Award nominated performance if we had to bail out of a lame event. You get it, and get me, like if we dont hear from each other every 13 minutes, you're not going to call in a NORAD airstrike. Let's hang out, see what kind of chemistry we have, no pressure. Random kitchen explosion could happen if there's pressure. Just say'n. I'm not trying to get into your pants. I'm just trying to figure out if you'd push me off a cliff because I let the toilet paper cascade over the top forwards. Who am I looking for? You can iron your skirt while still wearing it, and are no stranger to a mechanical bull. Form meets fashion since your purse, cute by the way and totally matches your boots, contains shiny metal objects which can blind a perv at a nightclub. The boots conceal your leather gloves, grappling hook and 40 feet of rope. Every woman needs an escape route from all the weirdos on here, right? Who am I? I rush into a lot of things... glass doors in an office building, light poles, a sale at a produce stand giving away avocados for 15 cents a piece, etc. I ride a motorcycle with my dog, and sneak 12 items into the 10 items or less line. Am I the only non-vegan in this town? OH MY GOD!! I'm gonna burn in hell for that for sure, huh? Small children should leave the room now. Playing with me has been known to the state of California and the cast of Always Sunny in Philadelphia to cause vertigo, confusion, fun, and sometimes headache relief. Fatal flaw? So what if I drive like a crazy foreigner who shouldn't have a license? Hey, it's not like the sidewalk is being used for much walking these days anyways. All I want for Christmas is a bumper sticker that says, "Have bullhorn. Not afraid to use it." Ideas for a first date? Let's take a "stunt driving on the freeway made easy" class to hone those secret agent/stunt woman skills of yours, or we could coffee, rock climbing, maybe? Jumping off the rock to prove you're a super hero? only if I can press the siren button in the ambulance ride to the hospital. Sometimes I get tickets to sporting events, short notice. So if you're spontaneous, give yourself some extra brownie points. By the way, it's been a cool 6 months, but my thing on here is expired. So if you got a wink from me, it's probably because I'm interested in you, and just have no other way to contact you. If your thing on here also expired, or you noticed I haven't responded to an email or a photo "like" or something you sent me, write me directly on ya ho o with the same name I use on here. Capish? ;) Look forward to hearing from you soon, and your mechanical bull riding stories! OMG, you made it this far in my profile. Do you want an award or something? I'm a romantic, looking for a big kid at heart who's open to a long term. :) PRIVACY NOTICE: Warning - any person and/or institution looking for me and my info contained herein may be subject to criminal prosecution, a civil lawsuit, hot waxing of your back hair, flaming on social media, AND being subject to all 14 lbs of my dog in whatever way he decides. He's a trained attack dog, standing 14" tall at the afro. Based on the lack of morals and any ethical code of conduct they're not teaching these kids today, bribes of reese's peanut butter cups and moose tracks ice cream are highly recommended, encouraged and have been known to cause headache relief as well. Lastly, I reserve the right to have 1000 twelve year old kids pull out every last one of your nose hairs.

Lung Nodules
Dear Ask The Doctor:
I haven't been diagnosed with any type of cancer, but I didn't know what other category this would go. I have typed the results from my ct scan below. My PCP didn't have time to actually talk to me today, but another dr at the office said there was nothing to be alarmed about regarding these results. I'd like to know what they mean though. Can you tell me? I am 43, non smoker (I smoked a very short time when I was 18-23, but wasn't even every day and a pack probably lasted like 3 weeks), in good health otherwise. I have no symptoms of anything, but I did have a nasty cough recently that went away with antibiotics, it lasted for like 2 months and was productive (yellow)... it was worst cough I've ever had in my life and actually gagged me a couple of times, waking me from sleep. History: Abnormal chest x-ray. Question of a nodule in the left midlung. Findings: The spiral multidetector slices show very prominent thyroid, especially the right lobe. As the slices move down through the chest, calcified pretracheal and right hilar lymph nodes are present. Liver, and spleen, and pancreas appear grossly normal. The lung window films are then reviewed showing a very prominent fibrotic apical scarring worse on the right. The left chest shows a pleural-based 2-3 mm nodule. A density is identified in the left chest with focal infiltrate in the lingula. No calcification is identified in the nodularity. Minor stranding is seen in the right middle lobe as well. No significant pleural effusion is noted, but some atelectatic change is noted medially in the left lung base. The IV contrast is instilled. The area questioned as being prominent thyroid on the right is composed of soft tissue plus the thyroid, and therefore suggests the thyroid is normal. Enhancement of the aorta is normal. No dissection. The pulmonary arteries are grossly normal. No pathologic nodes are seen in the mediastinum. Slices into the liver and spleen show symmetrical normal enhancement. No adrenal mass can be documented. The lung window films are then repeated with IV contrast. No further information is achieved. The coronal images confirm that there are indeed 2 nodules in the left midlung, each of which is in the 6-7 mm range and uncalcified. There is also some infiltrate extending into the lingula. IMPRESSION 1. Multiple small 1-2 mm noldules throughout the lung fields felt to probably be a residual of reticulonodular lung process. The nodular area on the left shows no real calcification. Each nodular component is in the 6-8 mm range and does not enhance. 2. Multiple nodes are calcified in the mediastinum. The appearance is low-probability for malignancy.
Answer:I understand your concern about lung nodules. Lung nodules are small masses of tissue in the lung which are quite common. They appear as round, white shadows on a chest X-ray or computerized tomography (CT) scan. They're usually about 1/5 inch to 1 inch, or 5 millimeters (mm) to 25 mm, in size. A larger lung nodule, such as one that's 25 mm or larger, is more likely to be cancerous than is a smaller lung nodule.
According to your description, due to the characteristics of the nodule such as size, localization and presence of calcification it is very probable that your nodule is benign. The cause might have probably be due to an infection, cyst, hematoma and usually require no treatment. Your doctor might have already told you that the management of this condition would be to observe this nodule from time to time, for example in a year you might need to take another CT scan to compare it with the actual one and look for changes in size and appearance. If any change is noted, you might probably need to have a biopsy. In the meantime I would suggest you to consult your physician for a more detailed evaluation and explanation of the condition. I wish you the best.

Respond to Review of Yerbabuena
by kathyv181
Review: It is great! The food is tasty with moderate prices. There are many vegan options which are marked on the menu and the staff is very helpful and friendly. Tha atmosphere is very nice and clean, not to much. It is perfect to make an awesome impretion eather on family, friends, colleagues or business partners. The food is also very impressiv, a very skeptic colleague of mine didn't want to go the "a vegetarian", but this place gave a positive spin to that subject! Recommendable to everybody! Have a look and enjoy! It is even open until late, so you have all the time you wand and need!

Play 6, it blows 7 out of the water.

4 and 6 are the best ones, I hate 7, 8 and 9 are good, and I hated 10.
#85 to #84 - aleeyam (10/29/2013) [-]
why do you hate 7? i mean, Sephiroth is a bad antagonist, and Aertith death (and the character in general) didn't touche me in any way, but Cloud and the OST are very cool points to the game IMO. Also, i'm a huge fan of the live stream theory (if it exists in real life or not, i believe in that **** ). But i must say, 4 is the best (even if none dies in the end, aside from Tellah and Edward's GF, dr.whocrying.gif)

It just wasn't a fun experience, I didn't like any of the characters except Tifa, the story didn't get me invested, the graphics looked bad, even for PS1, it felt like a huge drop from the quality of Final Fantasy 6.

Oragenics advancing towards identification of lead antibiotic clinical candidate
Oragenics (OGEN) announced that through its Exclusive Channel Collaboration with Intrexon Corporation (XON), it has produced and analyzed a large number of new potential analogs generated from its Mutacin 1140 antibiotic program platform, and advanced several promising compounds for further evaluation. These compounds will serve as the basis for selecting a lead drug candidate for clinical development later this year. The triaged analogs were selected from hundreds of variants generated using genetic engineering at Intrexon. Dr. John N. Bonfiglio, CEO of Oragenics, remarked, "The compounds we have selected for final evaluation align with our goal of identifying the first lead compound this year. We plan on meeting with the FDA later this year to discuss the IND enabling activities necessary to submit an IND application by mid-2015. Intrexon's synthetic biology expertise in collaboration with our scientists has enabled generation of a large library of new potential MU1140 analogs with chemical and biological properties that differentiate from native MU1140. We remain very optimistic that these new lantibiotics will become useful in the fight against certain drug-resistant bacteria."

Strong Recovery in Latin America, But Eye on Overheating
With many Latin American and Caribbean economies recovering faster than anticipated, the challenge for policymakers is ensuring a moderation in domestic demand to avoid overheating, the IMF said.
Larger Latin American Economies Recovering Faster than Expected
Latin American countries are recovering more strongly than expected from the global recession, but the pace of that recovery varies across the region, said Nicolás Eyzaguirre, Director of the IMF's Western Hemisphere Department.

Are Foreign Banks a 'Safe Haven'? Evidence from Past Banking Crises
February 26, 2015
Author/Editor: Gustavo Adler ; Eugenio Cerutti
Series: Working Paper No. 15/43
Regional Economic Outlook: Western Hemisphere
The economic outlook for Latin America and the Caribbean remains very challenging. Regional growth is projected to decline for a fifth consecutive year in 2015, dipping below 1 percent. Weakness is concentrated among South America's commodity exporters, where falling global commodity prices have compounded country-specific challenges. Meanwhile, growth is projected to be steady or stronger for most of the Caribbean, Central America, and Mexico, supported by lower oil bills for importers and robust economic recovery in the United States. The analysis in this report examines core challenges facing the region: the impact of lower commodity prices on fiscal and external positions, the drivers of the slowdown in investment, and the role of economic diversification for longer-term growth prospects.

Car or combination?
First half of trip from London. Can we rent an unlimited mileage car and go to Koblenz, Prague, Vienna, Salzburg, Italy, and then back to London to tour the UK? Or do we have to get one vehicle for the UK and another for the rest? Also, about that mandatory theft insurance if you go to Italy. A lot of money if you have to have insurance for the whole trip. Can you be in a car in Austria and safely leave it to take some other method of transportation into Italy? We would like to be in northern Italy for about 3 days. Or can you just take the train or whatever and rent cars here and there? There are 3 or 4 of us going and it seems that trains would get kind of expensive. And we do like to wing it and hunt up those out of the way places. And is the train the same as Eurail? This is getting complicated. Help!

Re: Outdoor sink
Ok now, looking for opinions.
How useful is an outdoor kitchen area. is it worth the cost and trouble? Sub question, do I need a roof over the area?
My plans include a large deck right of the back of the house, and the oven/smoker/grill pit wich will be about thirty feet away from the house. The house is just above grade, so there are no stairs involved. The back door is actually on the side of the house, not the rear. I cook on my beat up old charcoal grill probably four or five nights a week, I dont really mind walking out the side and then around back, but could down on trips to the kitchen if I install an outdoor kitchen on the future deck. The spot I am thinking of would put the counter up against the kitchen wall, so water, drain and electric would be a breeze.
My problem is this, do I need a cover? If I roof that section of deck, I block all natural sunlight to the kitchen window. That would also extend the future drive way roof and create an enormous section of roof back there, almost bigger than my house.
Stainless steele sink and graniet or cement counter are options, but are there good weather resistant cabinet materials? I have no problem with a seasonal cover.
So, do any of you think the possible usefullness of the sink, countertop and fridge will be worth the extra cost and design flaws of a roof?
Thank you for any time you give this poor DIYer.
Re: Outdoor sink
Ok, time for some opinions.
is an outdoor kitchen really worth the cost and effort.
also, should I cover counter and working space with a roof?
Re: Outdoor sink
Huh, some how I keep posting things twice
Huh, some how I keep posting things twice...
Re: Outdoor sink
Opining as another DIYer I lean more towards a minimalist design - I think you need counters, but why do you really need a fridge outdoors? I know others here have done that, but I can keep beer cold without a fridge, and pizza ingredients can stand for an hour or so outside. If I had a day long pizza party where I want the ingredients to stay cold next to the prep area a portable cooler would fit in just fine.
Sink? How about a few bowls/buckets of water - one for cleaning and another for rinse.
Cover is very much a weather dependent thing, and depends whether you need something for shade or rain protection in your climate. Where I live, rain is the biggest issue. I built my oven with a short overhang intended to be enough to hide under when it rained - my design failed (too short) and it served no purpose. My next oven will skip that feature and instead have a portable umbrella placed in front of the oven for shelter as needed.
Counter materials - as a DIYer, think about casting concrete countertops yourself. It's a good all weather material and is no fuss - you don't really have to worry about resealing it regularly like granite (sealing helps protect against stains, but concrete is rustic - let it stain!). You can touint it, acid stain it, include bits of material for color, even grind to a polish for visual appeal. Or you can just use melamine as a mold and stay with the fairly smooth work surface that gives you. A fair amount of web information about the options for that.
Cabinets? How about a wire rack? How much outdoor storage is needed?

Re: Outdoor sink
I agree with Maver, but really this is a matter of taste rather than being "right" or "wrong."
I have decided against a refrigerator. My prep area will have an overhang which will accommodate one of the many coolers I have accumulated. My kitchen is planned for an oven, grill, tandoor and counter tops. I plan on including a separate bar/counter top as another prep/seating area. While I can certainly see the advantages of a sink (and I love Sharon's idea of hooking it up to the sprinklers for the fall blow out), I really don't think I need it.
As for the roof, my wife would cut off my hands if I killed ANY of the light coming into the house. If you really want rain protection, could you install one of those retractable awnings over part of the area (not the chimney of course )?
Re: Outdoor sink
Have a roofed structure with a WFO, BBQ, two separate Side Burners, Fridge, Nine bottle wine fridge and Granite countertops, wood cabinets below
Fridge in Southern California view as a need to have and saves trips back to main kitchen for infredients. Can maintain water and soda for kids plus those persihanbles I will be using for cooking. Allows to store stuff needed later in day prior to arrival of guests or just to make it easier on myself.
Wine fridge, small portable 9 bottle variety. Received as a gift, not sure I would have bought separately, keep under counter. A Nice to Have item.
BBQ - self explanatory, but am using a Tuscan Grill more often when I have WFO fired up.
Side Burners - Issue here is with even a slight breeze reducing effectiveness of burners. Use, but not as often as I had origianlly thought.
Countertops - great for making pizzas, prep other items etc. Easy to clean.
Sink - have not yet found need but did install a waste pipe during construction tied to drainage system, have cold water access and would just need to cut hole in granite to install. At present have preferred the extra counter space versus benefit of sink.

"Sink - have not yet found need but did install a waste pipe during construction tied to drainage system, have cold water access and would just need to cut hole in granite to install. At present have preferred the extra counter space versus benefit of sink."
Ladies and gentleman we have a winner
Why I did not think of that before, I don't know??? My solution is to rough it in and if I find the need, its in place, if not no big deal. What got me in the post was "preferred the extra counter space versus benefit of sink" which triggered the light in my head
Thanks and again thanks for all the replies
Re: Outdoor sink
All this time I was trying to figure out what WFO meant.....
It certainly wasn't what I thought it was...

We love our outdoor kitchen, we have a walk out basement, so I keep most of the supplies indoors, but we have a small fridge outside (not a true outdoor fridge, but so far it's lasted 2 years) we have a sink and I do all the cleaning up outside. will post pics in a separate post.

To whet your appetite for The Pitch's annual Best of Kansas City issue in October, we're counting down our favorite Top 50 dishes each weekday until October 7.
So there you are, waiting for the light to change while the Honda's AC blows a one-person cold front over you. The plan is to stall that first sip until you're on the highway, but it's a long light, and the 20-ounce cup gleams with sweat. You relent. Up through the straw comes cold comfort: chocolate, espresso, milk, ice. The light changes. You release the straw. A perfect dewdrop of your Hi Hat E-Crush hangs in the air long enough for you to see it, to know where it will land -- on your shirt, just below the collar, a telltale brown smudge to taunt the bottom of your peripheral vision the rest of the day. You punch the accelerator as your anger flares, looking for a target. The poorly engineered straw! Your own eagerness! Gravity! The staining drink!
But to paraphrase Homer Simpson: "Oh, E-Crush, I can't stay mad at you."
If the tidy little money clip of a suburb it calls home allowed treehouses, some of them would be bigger than the Hi Hat (5012 State Line Road, Westwood Hills). But everything this intimate, efficient spot does, it does well -- The Pitch named it Best Coffeehouse in 2009 -- and its two frozen drinks are no exception. On a 100-degree August afternoon, the E-Crush is worth fighting 4 p.m. traffic to reach and more than worth a stray fleck once acquired. The shame isn't the stain, which is simple enough to remedy; it's that even one drop got away.
The ingredients for the grande (go big or go home) are simple: a pump and a half of Ghirardelli chocolate syrup, two shots of espresso, ice, milk and a powder the shop makes for itself in advance. The result is potent enough to count as a caffeine perk, and the balance of chocolate against coffee keeps the frappe on the right side of the breakfast-dessert divide, even close to evening rush hour. (That's if you stick to low-fat milk; the risk-to-reward dynamic shifts -- in favor of reward, obviously -- when you order whole, as Hi Hat baristas say many customers do.)
At just more than $5 (with tax), the 20-ounce E-Crush isn't much more expensive than one of the McDonald's concoctions that's helping to prop up the fast-food giant's numbers this hot summer. But the Hi Hat's espresso is tasty on its own (and it's realer than the coffee extract dropped into the Golden Arches' playground drink as an afterthought), and the transaction necessary to get it -- parking, walking a few steps, ordering, talking with the person making it, paying, accepting the cup -- is a curative for the day's less rewarding, less human exchanges.
Shirts come and go. The E-Crush is forever.

How many weeks were u when u felt ur baby's first kick
Carla Warren ~~ Joseph Warren married 10 years
Ja'Miya- 3
Comments (7)
My friend (a FTM, like me) said she couldn't feel anything till she was about 24 weeks. I started feeling movement around 16 weeks. It's different for everybody!
I feel flutters at night when I go to bed no big kicks yet either. Cant wait for her to start kicking hard enough for my husband to feel it as well!! I'd say you have nothing to worry about. It's harder to distinguish kicks with your first baby but I wouldn't worry especially if you've seen your little one bouncing around on your us. Id say you'll get a good jab in the next 2 or 3 weeks!
Try drinking a glass of ice cold water before you lie down too that may make him/her kick a little more, just be still and quiet so you can focus
Just found out we are having boy #3.....EDD 12/06/12!!! GOOD LUCK MAMA'S!!!!
I am a FTM and I felt the first kick at 15 weeks. But lots of my girlfriends didn't feel kicks with their first babies until 20 weeks or later!
Dalton & Joanna- Married- September 7, 2012

Annabelle Dee- April 13, 2013
Oh, and I only feel kicks when I'm laying down. In the beginning, I had to turn off the TV (or music or whatever), close my eyes, put my hands on my belly with a little pressure and wait. Sometimes I would lay there for 20+ minutes, just waiting. And in the beginning I felt mostly swishing feelings, like the baby was moving (not kicks) and I never felt flutters.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI) announced today that nine engineering firms have each committed to train and credential at least 100 of their infrastructure professionals in the ISI Envision Sustainability Professional (ENV SP) credential program within the next 12 months. The nine industry leading firms who have committed to the training and certification of their infrastructure professionals include ARCADIS, Arup, Black & Veatch, Burns & McDonnell, Gannett Fleming, HDR, Psomas, Stantec, and VHB.
The ENV SPs work with the ISI sustainable infrastructure rating system, called Envision™, which provides a basis to evaluate and rate the social, environmental, and economic benefits of all size and types of infrastructure such as water, power and transportation. "Each ENV SP works as an integral part of a project team with civil engineers, environmental engineers, infrastructure planners, construction managers, architects, transportation professionals, public policy leaders, public works professionals and other stakeholders to achieve the highest level of sustainability for their infrastructure projects," said ISI Executive Director, Bill Bertera.
In 2012, ISI launched Envision as a new comprehensive sustainable infrastructure system to assist planners, designers, owners and builders to plan, construct, operate and rate infrastructure to increasing levels of sustainability and resource efficiency. An ENV Sustainability Professional (ENV SP) is an ISI credentialed practitioner who is trained to use the Envision™ sustainable infrastructure rating system as a guide to address triple bottom line sustainability dimensions in the design, construction, and operation of an infrastructure project.
"Envision is the guidance tool infrastructure owners and designers will be using to ensure sustainability becomes a routine element of infrastructure projects for the next decade," says Bertera. "Forward thinking project designers are using Envision to identify lifecycle cost savings and protect environmental resources while prioritizing community needs. Public sector infrastructure owners are using Envision™ to show their taxpayers and voters the value of their investment."
Under the Envision ENV SP program, the nine firms have committed to having a cadre of planners, design engineers, and scientists across the US and Canada undertake the training and examination to achieve ENV SP status, which requires demonstrated training, experience and expertise.
"We are a very young organization and this is just the start," says Bertera. "We now have 12 projects in our rating pipeline for awards and verification. We estimate that our free online Envision rating tool and the Envision Checklist have been used on at least 100 projects to date."

InselAir will open its long-planned Aruba base in December, as it continues expansion by adding Boeing MD-80s and Fokker 70s.
The Curacao-based carrier will launch its new Aruba subsidiary with one MD-80 and plans to add a second in March 2014, says its president and chief executive Albert Kluyver.
Aruba will also be the base for two of four Fokker 70s the airline is buying from KLM, he says.
The first Fokker 70 will arrive in April 2014 for certification purposes, with the second following in June and the final two in August, says Kluyver. The type will enter service with the carrier in June, he says.
InselAir flies seven MD-80s, three Embraer EMB-110s and three Fokker 50s.
The launch of the Aruba subsidiary comes more than a year after InselAir received traffic rights to fly to the USA and Venezuela, and two years after it announced plans for the operation.
The new aircraft will allow InselAir to continue growing passenger numbers by about 20% to 25% per year, says Kluyver. It plans to add destinations in South America – including Cali, Manaus and Costa Rican capital San Jose – and others in the Caribbean, including Havana, Punta Cana and San Juan, with a focus on flows between the two regions.
"We can do it," he says on the airline's expansion plans. "The market is there."

From Breakfast to the Bar
Maple syrup has long been a North American treasure—it was promoted by Quakers and abolitionists as an alternative to the slave-produced cane sugar from the West Indies. In fact, Thomas Jefferson started his own maple plantation at Monticello in 1791. The maple-syrup industry, however, didn't materialize until the Civil War. These days, there are many brands of pure maple syrup on the market, but one in particular has changed how we think about the nectar.
Crown Maple, a small-batch craft syrup produced by Madava Farms in New York's Hudson Valley, is delicate in texture, yet bold and complex in flavor. Three expressions are available: Light Amber (highlighted by flavors of vanilla bean and brown butter), Medium Amber (which delivers hints of gingerbread and roasted chestnuts), and Dark Amber (which offers profound notes of freshly ground espresso).
From a barbecue glaze to an ice-cream topping, a coffee sweetener to a meat marinade, the uses for such craft syrups are widespread; they are certainly much more than a breakfast condiment. Our favorite application, however, requires a cocktail shaker, ice cubes, and a few choice spirits. All three expressions serve as an interesting replacement for simple syrup; the bottles in which they're packaged even fit right in on the bar.
For an easily executable cocktail that features these artisan syrups, try the following recipe offered by Nicole Trzaska, the bartender at the Liberty NYC in Midtown Manhattan.
Crown Maple Leaf
- 1½ oz. Maker's 46
- ¾ oz. Crown Maple Medium Amber syrup
- ¾ oz. lemon juice
Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into an ice-filled rocks glass. Garnish with a mint leaf and a piece of candied ginger.

Last weekend I was in Hobart Tasmania with my eldest son, Aaron, and his friend Hayden and his father Wayne. Also with us was another student, Vinura, his mother Dhammika and All Saints College teacher Donna.
We were all in town for the Robocup Junior Australia 2011 National Championships with "Team Jimmy" (Aaron and Hayden) competing in the Rescue Premier division and "The Boogie Man" (Vinura and Tai, who could not come due to study commitments) competing in the Secondary Dance division.
We flew over on Thursday via Melbourne (no direct flight from Perth) and hired a 8 seater Hyundai i-max van at the airport. A short drive into Hobart from the airport and we found our accomodation. We stayed at the newly renovated 2 on 2 apartments in Glebe which were absolutely fantastic. The owners, Matthew and Wilmar, have done an incredible job on the exterior and interior of the apartments. The exteriors are designed to look Victorian while the interior is ultra modern with many extremely clever features. Everywhere you look, you find little extra things that just show how much thought went into the design. The 2 on 2 apartments are next to Corinda's Cottages which have the same owners and are also available for hire.
The boys spent most of Friday and Saturday morning working on their robots. Then on Saturday afternoon, we drove to the University of Tasmania (UTAS) Sandy Bay campus and finalised the registration formalities (see news post).
After a quick look around, we returned to our accomodation and the work on "Jimmy" the robot continued. On Saturday night we attended a RoboCup function where we were able to meet with other competitors.
Sunday was the competition day for the secondary school students and both "Team Jimmy" and "The Boogie Man" went through their paces. Jimmy went through 5 rounds and ended up ranked 13 out of 32 (only the top 8 went through to a knockout finals competition).
The Boogie Man (using Michael Jackon's Blame it on the Boogie) performed twice and the once more in the finals to end up coming second overall (great work Vinura).
Check out the following links for pictures from the event and time lapse videos:
On Monday, we had some time before our flight home so we went to the Museum for Old and New Art (MONA), which is a free private museum with a huge range of old and new art that is designed to amaze and make you think. Check out the Fat Porsche Car below.
After the museum we drove to the airport and caught our flight home via Melbourne. Other than a one hour delay in Melbourne due to a broken cargo door and an aircraft swap, we got home safely.
Now, while Aaron and I were in Hobart, on Sunday my younger son, Rohan, graded for his second degree junior black belt for Cobra Martial Arts Academy and passed. Here he is in his new red jacket with Sensei Craig Monie. Well done Rohan.
Overall, a very busy and successful weekend for all.

e-tailing (electronic retailing)
E-tailing (less frequently: etailing) is the selling of retail goods on the Internet.
E-tailing (less frequently: etailing) is the selling of retail goods on the Internet. Short for "electronic retailing," and used in Internet discussions as early as 1995, the term seems an almost inevitable addition to e-mail, e-business, and e-commerce. E-tailing is synonymous with business-to-consumer (B2C) transaction.
Big Data = Big Storage Changes: A Handbook for Success
Big data challenges aren't anything new for storage managers, but the tools and technologies to manage this data are changing quickly. Check out this handbook to stay ahead of the market and learn best practices that will help you advance into the world of big data.

E-tailing began to work for some major corporations and smaller entrepreneurs as early as 1997 when Dell Computer reported multimillion dollar orders taken at its Web site. The success of Amazon.com hastened the arrival of Barnes and Noble's e-tail site. Concerns about secure order-taking receded. 1997 was also the year in which Auto-by-Tel reported that they had sold their millionth car over the Web, and CommerceNet/Nielsen Media reported that 10 million people had made purchases on the Web. Jupiter research predicted that e-tailing would grow to $37 billion by 2002.
E-tailing has resulted in the development of e-tailware -- software tools for creating online catalogs and managing the business connected with doing e-tailing. A new trend is the price comparison site that can quickly compare prices from a number of different e-tailers and link you to them.

Rayz' future in limbo
CORPUS CHRISTI - Before a game earlier this season, the Rayz invited one of their season-ticket holders down to the ice to celebrate her 16th birthday.
It was noted that Clara Jobe began attending games when she was 6 and now is a high school sophomore, a testament to the team's standing as the longest-running professional sports franchise in Corpus Christi.
However, it's not known how many more birthdays Clara and other local hockey fans will be able to celebrate with their favorite team.
With three weeks to go in his team's 10th anniversary season, Rayz owner Doug Frank said the Central Hockey League franchise is at the proverbial crossroads, with an 11th year not a given.
"We've been pretty focused on getting through (this) year," Frank said. "I think that's the right thing for us to do. That decision (on next year) would have to come by the end of this season, not much later than that. I fully intend for there to be (an 11th season), but it weighs heavily on my mind that we need to make some significant changes to find some of those growth opportunities, and I don't know exactly what they are.
"The things that I kind of hoped would be momentous for us pulling into the 10th season didn't unfold. Ten is just another number for most people. So we have to look hard at this because I can't make any sense of this if it's going to lose money for me personally in perpetuity. Nor can I afford it. We've got to consider our options."
According to Frank, one of those options is selling all or part of the team. He took a step in that direction late last month, when former general manager Pat Dunn rejoined the team as a special consultant. According to Frank, Dunn's chief duty will be to find ways to "broaden the team's investor base."
"I'm at a point where I want to consider some fairly broad-based options for the team," Frank said. "And given the fact there are people with a lot of local influence, I have no qualms about talking to various individuals and qualified parties to create a corporate entity to own the team and having partners in the business in a substantive way.
"We need to look at ways to broaden our base of support within this corporate market and there are plenty of companies that make a nice living here in Corpus Christi. And there are companies that certainly tell prospective employees when they're trying to recruit them to this market that this is a market that has great pro sports teams here. There are some of those people that we need to convince to become supportive of the Corpus Christi Rayz. Not so I can be wildly profitable, but so the team can survive."
When the Rayz moved into the American Bank Center before the 2004-05 season, it was hailed as a new era for the franchise after six years at the decaying Memorial Coliseum.
But in recent years, a building that's twice as big hasn't necessarily meant better, especially when it comes to the bottom line.
Frank said he has lost upward of $2 million since taking over the team in December 2002 and acknowledged making mistakes, most notably being an absentee owner early in his stewardship of the franchise.
According to Frank, exacerbating things has been the move to the new arena. While the Coliseum didn't provide much in the way of amenities, it proved more than bountiful for the Rayz.
According to the team's Coliseum lease, it got to keep all in-arena advertising and parking revenues while also getting 40 percent of gross revenues from food sales and 45 percent of gross revenues from alcohol sales. Frank, who said the team's per-game cost at the new venue has hovered around $10,000, declined to specify its current take of ancillary revenues, only saying "there's very little upside and incentive other than selling tickets."
"We've suffered over a three-quarter of a million dollar shift in expenses and revenue by moving to the American Bank Center," Frank said. "We knew it was a gamble, and we knew we had to make the move, but in hindsight, if we were able to grow the business at the level we have grown it and we were still at Memorial Coliseum with our old contract in place -- there are a lot of assumptions in that -- we would be not only financially successful, we'd be very successful. The American Bank Center is our No. 1 competition for corporate sponsorship dollars, not any other sports team."
According to American Bank Center general manager Marc Solis -- who said, "We love the Rayz" -- arena management firm SMG is not out to line its pockets.
"Everything goes to the bottom line," Solis said. "The bottom line ensures that the city lives up to the commitment they made to voters a few years ago, that the arena was breaking even. Ultimately, the money funnels down to the bottom line to make sure the lights are on and we're taking care of this asset on behalf of the citizens of the community."
Frank and Solis said the team, SMG and the city have had big-picture discussions, but nothing specific about restructuring the Rayz' lease to make it more amenable. Frank said he would not make requests for specific changes unless he thought they would be difference-makers on the revenue side.
City Manager Skip Noe said "having options like hockey for our community is important."
"There's no doubt that having them in the building is important," Noe said. "They were part of the key to the formula to putting the building together, how it'd operate and how we designed it. We want to work to continue to ensure their success in the future."
The move to a building twice the Coliseum's size hasn't resulted in a similar attendance leap for the Rayz. There was a bump of more than 1,000 fans in their first season after the move, but attendance since has dipped close to Coliseum levels, despite Frank saying the team sold hundreds more season tickets in the past off-season while also increasing corporate sponsor revenue.
Minor-league hockey attendance figures typically represent tickets sold or dispersed and rarely reflect the number of people in the seats. The Rayz have 1,008 full season-ticket holders, with another 1,390 mini-plan holders and 259 club seats purchased through SMG. While the Rayz officially averaged 3,676 fans per game through Friday, the sight of a two-thirds empty arena isn't unusual these days. But it certainly is a stark contrast to the franchise's early years.
Rick Dames is a lifelong hockey enthusiast, but somehow missed the IceRays' first game in 1998-99. When he made his way to the Coliseum for their second game, he was stunned by what he saw.
"When I got there for the second game, I couldn't believe that I couldn't find anywhere to sit," said Dames, a former Corpus Christi radio station owner who doubled as the team's color commentator for five-plus seasons. "It was magic. It was just hip in year one. It was just the place to be. There was nothing else to do so people went to hockey games. That first season, it was just a social event to go to."
Dunn, a ticket sales representative during the franchise's early years, once described trying to find places to wedge fans into the Coliseum, whose capacity was officially listed at 3,500, but drew 3,704 fans during the 1999-2000 season.
While many of the fans, to use an Al Michaels line, may not have known the blue line from a clothes line, hockey was an immediate success, especially in an entertainment-starved market whose most recent pro sports forays were failed independent baseball teams and a fly-by-night minor-league basketball operation. And the Rayz' arrival predated the coming of the Hooks, indoor football and college basketball, making them the lone game in town.
"I think that we were in the right place at the right time with the right product," said Corpus Christi businessman Bill McBean, a former IceRays part-owner. "Again, it goes back to there was no competition and things like that. And there was a reputation that Corpus couldn't sustain a team. We had a belief that if we could deliver a winning product, that would be the thing to keep our continuity going."
That sustained success, however, proved fleeting. When looking for the tipping point in franchise history, it's not hard to reach a consensus: the Bill Davidson scandal of 2001.
The then-IceRays managing partner being sued by other members of the ownership group, with allegations of financial improprieties, apparently left a stain on the franchise that has been hard to remove, with attendance dropping to fewer than 3,000 per game during the 2003-04 season.
"I don't think it should be a (black mark), but it certainly took the air out of the balloon and putting the air back in the balloon has been a lot more expensive and difficult then I ever expected it to be," Frank said.
The lawsuit was only the tip of the iceberg for Davidson, who previously drove away fans by ejecting spectators who chanted "you suck" at the opposing goalie, a staple in hockey arenas.
"Billy and his goons would just go into the stands and throw people out," Dames recalled. "And they wouldn't allow them to renew season tickets. He did everything he could to alienate the fans.
"In a smaller town like Corpus where everybody knows every little thing happening and there's an ownership struggle and one guy says something to another guy, everybody knows it in two hours. All the problems got out quicker. And trying to get (the momentum) back is harder than getting it going the first time."
Of course, an obvious question is whether hockey was just another passing fad, and the on-ice decline -- the team missed the playoffs five of the past six seasons -- hasn't helped. Does that make Corpus Christi no different than the likes of Lubbock, San Angelo or Lafayette, La. markets that went crazy for hockey at first before seeing their teams eventually close shop?
"It's similar to those markets in that there hasn't been enough dynamic growth in those markets to sustain that novelty curve for the first couple years," Frank said. "If your market is not growing at the same time, you're not able to replace those people that came, examined the novelty and said, 'Oh, I'm going to move on to the next one.'
"The market in Corpus Christi has virtually not grown at all since this team came into existence. You hear a lot of talk because there are some population shifts and some new retail activity, but from the beginning of time for the Corpus Christi IceRays or Rayz, there have probably been I'm guessing six to eight billion in development dollars that looked at Corpus Christi and one way or the other, got run out of town. Give us one or two of those projects, and Corpus Christi is a different landscape for everybody."
Kelly Ellis isn't what you'd call a diehard hockey fan by any means and won't be spotted wearing a game-worn Grady Manson or Clint Way sweater. Ellis, a Corpus Christi financial planner, said he has made it to one Rayz game in the past year while attending about 40 Hooks games.
But to Ellis, the notion of no Rayz franchise would be a blow to Corpus Christi's quality of life.
"Absolutely, there's no question," he said. "For a city like Corpus Christi to grow, we've got to offer entertainment to everyone, all groups. If we're expecting to bring employees into South Texas from up north, we've got to give them something they're used to and hockey is a big draw. I think it's good entertainment and something we need in this city."
Steve and Connie Trigg have a little more of an emotional investment in the Rayz. They're nightly staples at the American Bank Center and active members of the Rayz' booster club. A season-ticket holder for seven years, Steve Trigg never had been to a hockey game before the IceRays arrived.
"I would like to think (the sport) has staying power," Trigg said. "It's a novelty to some people that come and go, but there's a few diehard fans that come and I'm hoping that there are a lot of new people that have never seen the game and would like to come. I think just coming to a game in general just hooks somebody in. I'll come out -- win, lose or draw."
While Trigg expresses the sentiments of the diehard fan, others have just as big an interest in the Rayz' future plans.
Solis, whose arena would be left with 32 empty dates a year, said he didn't want to envision the team not returning for the final season on its lease at the American Bank Center.
"Man, I don't even want to think about them not being around here," Solis said. "I don't want to have any negative vibes. I fully expect them to be here. At the end of the day, from all of our perspectives, we all want to see this thing succeed. We look forward to working with the Rayz any way we can to give them an opportunity to be successful."
Rick Kozuback, president and CEO of Global Entertainment, the CHL's parent company, said "Corpus is a big part of our league" and a key market in terms of travel considerations and other logistical concerns.
As for Frank, he had mixed emotions when asked if he was willing to part ways with the franchise that he has been around as an original season-ticket holder and then the owner.
"There are mornings when I wake up and it wouldn't be hard at all," he said. "And there are mornings when I truly tell you that I love it and love the game and love the difficulty of what we try to accomplish on a daily basis. But on the other hand, given the right mix of individuals who could come in and be part of this, I don't have to give it all up per se.
"But I'm completely open to it. My life has been a great adventure and hockey will always be a part of my life. I want what's best for this team. I want the Corpus Christi Rayz or IceRays, call them whatever you'd like, to be successful for many years into the future."
