My husband Steve and I are both professionals and are mature, considerate, friendly, and curious travelers. I'm also a writer. I enjoy reading, the arts, gardens and trees, museums, architecture, midcentury Japanese cinema, and Asian food. Steve likes reading, cycling, and hiking. We're both animal lovers and have two very spoiled cats.
When I travel, I like to WALK and make unexpected discoveries off the beaten path (rather than check off destinations in a guidebook).

Tools for the Advanced Trader: Institutional-Based Software Firms and Brokers Are Producing High Level Tools for Advanced Traders but Retail Traders Are Also Benefitting from the Myriad of High Level Trading Tools Being Developed
Salcedo, Yesenia, Modern Trader
In the first part of this two-part series we covered the basic offerings by trading softwares and platforms for retail traders. Of course, not everyone is a beginner and there are plenty of services and tools offered to the more advanced trader, and those more advanced beginning traders. So, here we will delve into some of the more advanced features a few software companies and brokers offer. With the demand for automated algorithms growing in the industry, we focused on that. This is just a sampling, as it's impossible to cover all platforms in this limited space. Traders should do more research to find the platform or software that best suits their own needs.
TradeStation (TS) started out as a software company. The founders realized there were three main aspects to a total package trading platform: the front-end, real-time streaming data and execution capabilities. In 2001 TS became a broker, TradeStation Securities, and now has brokerage offerings with the software. "The foundation of the company is the idea that a trader has to have a tested trading strategy: you need to have a trading plan and then follow it," says Janette Perez, vice president of strategic relations at TS.
With TS you can trade equities, options, futures, and forex was recently added. TradeStation 8.3, the latest version, integrates automated forex trading and has additional indicators and strategies for fundamental traders. Also, TS's forex trading is integrated through the Order Bar, Matrix, Market Depth, Macros and Strategy Automation.
One capability more advanced traders are working on is automation. Once they've got a trading strategy that works, they can set up a system that will show the entries and exits, and in some cases, if they can afford it, they can to an Application Programming Interface (API), where they can set the program to run and trade on its own.
An API connection allows the trader to connect their automated trading system to a broker that offers access to an exchange API and the trader's system sends in orders as they are generated by their program and the orders are executed by the brokerage.
TS's Easy Language scripting language needs to be learned for algorithmic trading. When backtesting, TS offers intra-day and end of day testing. End-of-data testing is usually enough if you're only trading once a day, but if you want to trade multiple time frames you would need intra-day data.
As for charting, TS offers an extensive historical data base for charting with order-entry capabilities, and Perez emphasizes charting is only as good as your data. In equities, TS offers more than 15 years of intra-day data and 38 years of end-of-day data; for futures there's more than 23 years of intra-day and 46 years of daily data; and in forex there's more than three years of intraday and 35 of daily.
Another custom feature is that you can create your own indicator. "TS has more than 100 studies, and what makes them unique is that they're not canned, as they are in other softwares," Perez says. With TS's EasyLanguage, users can write their own studies or take the ones included and modify them.
While it costs $100 per month to access the platform, you can use it for free if you open an account with them, and it is extra for the exchange data.
Trading Technologies International Inc. (TT) develops high-performance trading software for institutional traders that include derivatives professionals, including the world's major exchanges, money-center banks, proprietary traders, hedge fund traders, securities brokers, futures commission merchants and other trading institutions.
X_TRADER, TT's flagship order entry product, is a front-end screen for professional derivatives traders, brokers and market makers. It incorporates single-click trade execution, high-speed connection to the world's largest futures exchanges, real-time fill and position details and the patented MD Trader, a patented vertical market depth display. …

One of the best things about the July 4th weekend is all of the outdoor celebrations! From backyard barbecues, to parades, to fireworks, there's no shortage of fresh-air frivolity. We're ready to salute the stars and stripes in style, but donning red, white, and blue can sometimes end up looking overworked. What's a patriotic pin up to do? We took out the Independence Day predictability and pulled together a patriotic ensemble thats festive and retro-fabulous! Here's to looking red, white, and beautiful!
We prevented our summertime soiree ensemble from looking too cliche by focusing on one color, red, and adding dashes of white and blue for pops of vibrancy. The Red & White Striped Marilyn Halter Dress is perfect for the occasion with a breezy knee-grazing skirt and adjustable halter neck. Style with red heels like the Red Patent Leather Cutie Pumps and complete your all-American outfit with the Blue Mermaid Earrings and the darling Color Block Audrey Purse.

Free your book
(from the same old format)
(from the same old format)
Say "I Do (It Yourself)"—
While a wedding represents the epitome of tradition, your wedding book doesn't have to. A singular event in your life (hopefully), you'll want to treat it as such, documenting it in the best and most unique way you can.
Most often, wedding albums are put together by the wedding photographer. Those professional shots can be amazing, but they only tell the story of the day through someone else's eyes. A Blurb book lets you tell the story of your wedding the way you want it to be remembered. It doesn't have to be what others expect. You can break the mold, break the format, and go ahead and do something different. And remember—it doesn't have to be wacky for it to be uniquely yours.
Take a cue from the personal touches that made your day special, and capture the same spirit in your wedding book. From your Japanese lanterns and the wedding photo booth to your festive flower favors and monogrammed seating cards, you'll nail it on the big day. And you want your book to showcase those delightful details.
Think about the book you want to look at years from now, the one that captures the fun, the quirky, and the different. Make a photo shot list for the day, give it to five friends, and see what happens. The official photographer can't be everywhere, and you'll probably be a bit preoccupied navigating up the aisle, saying hello to everybody, and—let's be honest—having the time of your life.
In addition to a print book, make an ebook full of audio and video. Think of it as your interactive wedding video—one your friends might even want to watch. You can even ask your friends to send you all of the videos they took on their phones and add those to your ebook (you may have to do a bit of careful editing, particularly on the ones taken late in the evening).
And don't forget that one doesn't necessarily fit all when it comes to sizes and formats. A coffee table book documenting every shot is perfect for your new home, whereas an edited version with more traditional shots will please parents and grandparents. A smaller version with all of the rehearsal dinner shots and behind-the-scenes candids (maybe even the bachelor and bachelorette party pics) is a perfect thank you gift for the wedding party. Want to learn more? Meet a couple that went beyond the format and made a special version of their wedding book just for their parents.
However you choose to document your big day, don't let convention be your ball and chain (er, maybe that's not the best metaphor to use). Whatever you decide, try doing it yourself. Be different, take chances, and break the format.
Make a book for man's best friend—the iPad
Authors (and we believe you're all authors), let's get serious. We love books. But sometimes you gotta break the rules. And that means you gotta break out of the book. There's a new way to present your stories—enhanced ebooks. We're crazy about 'em because they offer a revolutionary way to bring your photography and words to life with all kinds of rich media: Video, sound, narration, animation, and music.
We're not just making this up—it's happening in real life. Here are some successful authors who have created captivating ebooks with Blurb:
"The idea of writing and illustrating a book that could quickly become either print or electronic was very intriguing. Then I learned that Blurb gives me the possibility of adding a video to my ebook! That was a terrific opportunity: I could use speech, music, and sound effects and add animation to explain something that would have been much duller in static images alone."
How to Make Cheese | Nigel Colmes
"Creating my own ebook was a much more creative process than the time I spent with professional publishers on my prior books. It is fundamentally different than handing over a stack of photographs and having a publisher drive the entire creative process—even naming your book. This enhanced ebook is my creation from the cover to the back page."
The Dog Photographer | Amanda Jones
You want more? We've got more enhanced ebooks.
That's nice, but how does it work? Here's how to make an ebook
We're so serious about enhanced ebooks that we put together the perfect tutorial in enhanced ebook format (How's that for meta?) that makes the process intuitive, creative, and fun. (We said we were serious. Serious about fun.)
But, super-quick, here's the breakdown:
- Once you've used our tools to design your book (don't sweat it; we've got a ton of support for you on this part), just head to your book's main page and click where it says "Convert this book to an ebook for the iPad."
- The ebook editor will load and guide you through the steps of reviewing your ebook. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Most books will convert in just two to three minutes.
- A few books may take as long as 30 minutes to convert to ebook (these are the serious labors of love, we think).
- The conversion will happen in the background, so it's perfectly okay to leave your computer and come back later. Just remember to come back eventually.
- We'll send you an email when your book conversion is complete.
- Add in your photos, videos, and audio files (here's where the magic happens), click "Complete and Publish" in the lower right-hand corner, and head to checkout.
That. Is. It. You've not only made a book, you've broken out of the book. Well played, author. Well played.
What happens in Vegas…can happen anywhere:
Smart entrepreneurs, startup visionaries, creative innovators. Those are our type of people, and they're all meeting up in fabulous Las Vegas at SXSW V2V to connect, learn, and get inspired. We're inspired just writing about it. (And we're not going to lie to you; we have a thing for Vegas too.)
Here's how they describe it:
"SXSW V2V is an extension and re-imagining of the legendary SXSW experience with an emphasis on the creative spark that drives entrepreneurial innovation. This four-day event brings the startup and venture capital communities together with the creative industries that have helped to make SXSW so special. V2V serves innovators and entrepreneurs from across all the industries at the core of the SXSW Family of events—technology, music, film, fashion, health, education, sustainability, and more—as they learn the skills, make the connections, and find the inspiration to take their ideas and talents to the next level."
Events like SXSW V2V always get us excited. And thinking. Thinking about how businesses can stand out in a crowd. Turns out, we know a thing or two about that. A lot of businesses have used Blurb to create an ebook for the iPad with audio and video to showcase their business in a novel way. Imagine narrating your success stories or including a video of your best project. Interviews with satisfied clients, portfolio slideshows—anything you can imagine.
Here's Steve Glenn, founder and CEO of LivingHomes, a company that builds prefabricated, sustainably designed homes, talking about his enhanced ebook as a way to promote his projects past the traditional monograph book:
"With the enhanced ebook format, we are able to add time-lapse video of the unique way that our homes are installed, as well as walkthroughs of the homes. Adding video to a photo-intensive book was surprisingly intuitive."
We know—you're thinking, "The conference starts on August 11, who has the time (or design skills) to create an ebook? Don't you need to hire a developer for that?" Relax. You can do this. And here's something we put together that shows you exactly how to do it. You can create your book in just a few days—and have your ebook in minutes. Interested in learning more? Explore how to make an ebook with Blurb that tells your story in a whole new dimension. Because even if you're not going to SXSW V2V this year, you can still get inspired, be innovative, and generate your own creative sparks. Because what happens in Vegas can happen anywhere.
A book you'll only find at Blurb: Rouleaux by Anastassia Elias
Not to get too personal, but how many toilet paper rolls do you throw away every year? For French artist Anastassia Elias, that answer is probably pretty close to zero. The multi-talented artist has found a wholly unique way to reuse these commonly trashed items: by turning them into stages for her tiny dioramas. Getting her inspiration from film, travel, and everyday life, she crafts each figure from a paper specifically chosen to match the material of the roll. She recently published a Blurb book, Rouleaux, that collects these pieces. Not only do the photos show off the intricacy of her work, her lighting turns each one into a dramatic shadow play. Anastassia Elias, who also counts painting, photography, collage, string art, and sculpture among her talents, was kind of enough to take some time out from her work to answer our questions.
Blurb: Do you remember the day when this idea first occurred to you?
Anastassia: "I don't remember the exact day when I found the idea. One day I looked at an empty roll and wondered if I can do something with it. This cardboard cylinder could become an interesting frame to create something inside. And shortly after, I had an idea. It was in May 2009."
Blurb: About how long does it take to make each piece?
Anastassia: "Once the idea of the scenery is found, I need a few hours to make one piece, three to four hours on average."
Blurb: Do you sell the individual rolls, or are they meant to be displayed as photographs?
Anastassia: "Yes I sell the rolls. Anyone interested to buy them can contact me."
Blurb: Did you enjoy the process of putting your photos into a Blurb book?
Anastassia: "For my first book, Rouleaux, I first tested Blurb BookSmart. It is very well done and offers many models of layout. Despite its richness, I finally decided to make my book as a PDF. I reserve BookSmart for my next Blurb book. I was looking forward to discovering the printed book and after receiving it my expectations have been fully met."
We're incredibly thrilled to have Anastassia's book in the Blurb bookstore. Check out a full preview there and pick up a copy—it's only $22.26. We also recommend heading over to her website to check out more of her incredible artwork.

Our strategy for Easter Eggs level 2-1 (formerly level 1-16) is to loft the Yellow bird under the hollow stone square in the top-right, aiming to detonate the TNT at the right of the structure. Lob the Black bird to land between the first two roofs, blowing the structure apart. Use the White bird if necessary to clear the level. The score in the video below is 96,480.
Note: In a recent update, the level numbers were changed from Level 1-16 to Level 2-1.
If you have a different strategy feel free to leave a comment below; however, don't just post your score via the comments, as that's what the leaderboards are for.

When the idea for this post came up, truth be told, I panicked a little. Although I love flowers (I mean, what girl doesn't?!) and have pulled together many arrangements in my day, I always advise (where budget allows) to never DIY your florals. But let's face it, when budgets are factored in not everyone has the luxury of working with a floral designer. So to all you ladies feeling brave and looking to stretch your dollar without compromising an ounce of pretty, this blog's for you!
Step 1: saturate your floral foam with water and place into your vase. Begin to build your floral arrangement creating a starting point for your two front facing corners. Make one over flowing with eucalyptus and the other tighter to the center with queen anne's lace.
Step 2: continue to build your arrangement by adding another overflow on the opposite corner to the original and begin to fill out your middle with a blend of sedum and lisianthus.
Step 3: continue to fill in your arrangement, adding in astilbe. Start to concentrate on your arrangement as a whole, paying attention to all angles.
Step 4: add in spray roses. as you work on filling your arrangement make sure to fill all gaps and keep a mix of flowers throughout the whole.
You could stop right here but for a fuller table arrangement (and some added decor), finish off the look with a couple of votive holders filled with a few floral stems, as well as some candlelight.
If you're all about DIY'ing your centerpiece but want something a little less labor intensive, check out our Decorative Bottle Vases and Springtime Centerpieces posts.

|All Recent SEC Filings
Quarterly Report
APS Energy Services Company, Inc., which we renamed Ameresco Southwest, a
company that provides a full range of integrated energy efficiency and renewable
energy solutions, strengthened our geographical position in the southwest U.S.
Our acquisition of the xChangePoint® and energy projects businesses from Energy
and Power Solutions, Inc., which we operate as Ameresco Intelligent Systems, or
AIS, expanded our service offerings to private sector commercial and industrial
customers. AIS offers energy efficiency solutions to customers across North
America encompassing the food and beverage, meat, dairy, paper, aerospace, oil
and gas and REIT industries.
In 2012, our acquisition in the third quarter of infrastructure asset management solutions provider FAME Facility Software Solutions Inc. expanded our offerings and our geographical position in western Canada. Recent Developments
On October 19, 2012, Ameresco Asset Holdings IV LLC, or Holdings IV, a holding company for 18 renewable energy project companies and a wholly owned subsidiary of Ameresco, Inc., entered into a credit and guaranty agreement with Union Bank, N.A. and CoBank ACB. Holdings IV's subsidiaries collectively own 22 renewable energy projects, 16 of which are currently operating and the remaining 6 of which are at various stages of construction. The credit and guaranty agreement provides for a $47.2 million construction-to-term loan credit facility. At the closing, Holdings IV drew down construction loans for an aggregate of $33.5 million with respect to 20 of the projects. A portion, $13.5 million, of the proceeds of the initial draw down was used to pay down the revolving credit facility. Additional information about the credit facility is available in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated October 19, 2012 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 24, 2012.
On October 24, 2012, the Company acquired Seldera LLC, a privately held company offering intelligent sensing solutions for building energy efficiency that involve rapid reasoning and automation using sensor and online data. Energy Savings Performance and Energy Supply Contracts For our energy efficiency projects, we typically enter into energy savings performance contracts, or ESPCs, under which we agree to develop, design, engineer and construct a project and also commit that the project will satisfy agreed-upon performance standards that vary from project to project. These performance commitments are typically based on the design, capacity, efficiency or operation of the specific equipment and systems we install. Our commitments generally fall into three categories: pre-agreed, equipment-level and whole building-level. Under a pre-agreed energy reduction commitment, our customer reviews the project design in advance and agrees that, upon or shortly after completion of installation of the specified equipment comprising the project, the commitment will have been met. Under an equipment-level commitment, we commit to a level of energy use reduction based on the difference in use measured first with the existing equipment and then with the replacement equipment. A whole building-level commitment requires demonstration of energy usage reduction for a whole building, often based on readings of the utility meter where usage is measured. Depending on the project, the measurement and demonstration may be required only once, upon installation, based on an analysis of one or more sample installations, or may be required to be repeated at agreed upon intervals generally over up to 20 years.
Under our contracts, we typically do not take responsibility for a wide variety of factors outside our control and exclude or adjust for such factors in commitment calculations. These factors include variations in energy prices and utility rates, weather, facility occupancy schedules, the amount of energy-using equipment in a facility, and failure of the customer to operate or maintain the project properly. Typically, our performance commitments apply to the aggregate overall performance of a project rather than to individual energy efficiency measures. Therefore, to the extent an individual measure underperforms, it may be offset by other measures that over perform. In the event that an energy efficiency project does not perform according to the agreed-upon specifications, our agreements typically allow us to satisfy our obligation by adjusting or modifying the installed equipment, installing additional measures to provide substitute energy savings, or paying the customer for lost energy savings based on the assumed conditions specified in the agreement. Many of our equipment supply, local design, and installation subcontracts contain provisions that enable us to seek recourse against our vendors or subcontractors if there is a deficiency in our energy reduction commitment. From our inception to September 30, 2012, our total payments to customers and incurred equipment replacement and maintenance costs under our energy reduction commitments, after customer acceptance of a project, have been less than $100,000 in the aggregate. See "We may have liability to our customers under our ESPCs if our projects fail to deliver the energy use reductions to which we are committed under the contract" in Item 1A, Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Payments by the federal government for energy efficiency measures are based on the services provided and the products installed, but are limited to the savings derived from such measures, calculated in accordance with federal regulatory guidelines
and the specific contract's terms. The savings are typically determined by
comparing energy use and other costs before and after the installation of the
energy efficiency measures, adjusted for changes that affect energy use and
other costs but are not caused by the energy efficiency measures.
For projects involving the construction of a small-scale renewable energy plant that we own and operate, we enter into long-term contracts to supply the electricity, processed landfill gas, or LFG, heat or cooling generated by the plant to the customer, which is typically a utility, municipality, industrial facility or other large purchaser of energy. The rights to use the site for the plant and purchase of renewable fuel for the plant are also obtained by us under long-term agreements with terms at least as long as the associated output supply agreement. Our supply agreements typically provide for fixed prices or prices that escalate at a fixed rate or vary based on a market benchmark. See "We may assume responsibility under customer contracts for factors outside our control, including, in connection with some customer projects, the risk that fuel prices will increase" in Item 1A, Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Project Financing
To finance projects with federal governmental agencies, we typically sell to the lenders our right to receive a portion of the long-term payments from the customer arising out of the project for a purchase price reflecting a discount to the aggregate amount due from the customer. The purchase price is generally advanced to us over the implementation period based on completed work or a schedule predetermined to coincide with the construction of the project. Under the terms of these financing arrangements, we are required to complete the construction or installation of the project in accordance with the contract with our customer, and the debt remains on our consolidated balance sheet until the completed project is accepted by the customer. Once the completed project is accepted by the customer, the financing is treated as a true sale and the related receivable and financing liability are removed from our consolidated balance sheet.
Institutional customers, such as state, provincial and local governments, schools and public housing authorities, typically finance their energy efficiency and renewable energy projects through either tax-exempt leases or issuances of municipal bonds. We assist in the structuring of such third-party financing.
In some instances, customers prefer that we retain ownership of the renewable energy plants and related project assets that we construct for them. In these projects, we typically enter into a long-term supply agreement to furnish electricity, gas, heat or cooling to the customer's facility. To finance the significant upfront capital costs required to develop and construct the plant, we rely either on our internal cash flow or, in some cases, third-party debt. For project financing by third-party lenders, we typically establish a separate subsidiary, usually a limited liability company, to own the project assets and related contracts. The subsidiary contracts with us for construction and operation of the project and enters into a financing agreement directly with the lenders. Additionally, we will provide assurance to the lender that the project will achieve commercial operation. Although the financing is secured by the assets of the subsidiary and a pledge of our equity interests in the subsidiary, and is non-recourse to Ameresco, Inc., we may from time to time determine to provide financial support to the subsidiary in order to maintain rights to the project or otherwise avoid the adverse consequences of a default. The amount of such financing is included on our consolidated balance sheet.
In addition to project-related debt, we currently maintain a $100 million senior secured credit facility with a group of commercial banks to finance our working capital needs. See "-Senior Secured Credit Facility-Revolver and Term Loan" below.
Effects of Seasonality
We are subject to seasonal fluctuations and construction cycles, particularly in climates that experience colder weather during the winter months, such as the northern United States and Canada, or at educational institutions, where large projects are typically carried out during summer months when their facilities are unoccupied. In addition, government customers, many of which have fiscal years that do not coincide with ours, typically follow annual procurement cycles and appropriate funds on a fiscal-year basis even though contract performance may take more than one year. Further, government contracting cycles can be affected by the timing of, and delays in, the legislative process related to government programs and incentives that help drive demand for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. As a result, our revenue and operating income in the third quarter are typically higher, and our revenue and operating income in the first quarter are typically lower, than in other quarters of the year. As a result of such fluctuations, we may occasionally experience declines in revenue or earnings as compared to the immediately preceding quarter, and comparisons of our operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful.
Our annual and quarterly financial results are also subject to significant
fluctuations as a result of other factors, many of which are outside our
control. See "Our operating results may fluctuate significantly from quarter to
quarter and may fall below expectations in any particular fiscal quarter" in
Item 1A, Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Backlog and Awarded Projects
Total construction backlog represents projects that are active within our ESPC sales cycle. Our sales cycle begins with the initial contact with the customer and ends, when successful, with a signed contract, also referred to as fully-contracted backlog. Historically, our sales cycle typically has averaged 12 to 36 months. Awarded backlog is created when a potential customer awards a project to Ameresco following a request for proposal. Once a project is awarded but not yet contracted, we typically conduct a detailed energy audit to determine the scope of the project as well as identify the savings that may be expected to be generated from upgrading the customer's energy infrastructure. At this point, we also determine the sub-contractor, what equipment will be used, and assist in arranging for third party financing, as applicable. Historically, awarded projects typically have taken 6 to 12 months to result in a signed contract and thus convert to fully-contracted backlog. It may take longer, however, depending upon the size and complexity of the project. Further, at times in the past we have experienced periods during which the portion of the sales cycle for converting awarded project to signed contracts has lengthened; we have been experiencing lengthened conversion times, a trend we expect to continue into 2013. After the customer and Ameresco agree to the terms of the contract and the contract becomes executed, the project moves to fully-contracted backlog. The contracts reflected in our fully-contracted backlog typically have a construction period of 12 to 24 months; this is the period over which we expect to recognize revenue for customer contracts. Fully-contracted backlog begins converting into revenue generated from backlog on a percentage-of-completion basis once construction has commenced. See "We may not recognize all revenue from our backlog or receive all payments anticipated under awarded projects and customer contracts" in Item 1A, Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
As of September 30, 2012, we had backlog of approximately $318 million in future revenue under signed customer contracts for the installation or construction of projects, which we sometimes refer to as fully-contracted backlog; and we also had been awarded projects for which we do not yet have signed customer contracts with estimated total future revenue of an additional $1.1 billion. As of September 30, 2011, we had fully-contracted backlog of approximately $438 million in future revenue under signed customer contracts for the installation or construction of projects; and we also had been awarded projects for which we had not yet signed customer contracts with estimated total future revenue of an additional $782 million.
Financial Operations Overview
We derive revenue from energy efficiency and renewable energy products and services. Our energy efficiency products and services include the design, engineering and installation of equipment and other measures to improve the efficiency and control the operation of a facility's energy infrastructure. Our renewable energy products and services include: the construction of small-scale plants that produce electricity, gas, heat or cooling from renewable sources of energy and the sale of such electricity, processed LFG, heat or cooling from plants that we own, which, for those plants that we own and operate, we refer to collectively as small scale infrastructure; and the sale and installation of photovoltaic solar energy products and systems, or integrated-PV.
While in any particular quarter a single customer may account for more than ten percent of revenue, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, no one customer accounted for more than ten percent of our total revenue. Direct Expenses and Gross Margin
Direct expenses include the cost of labor, materials, equipment, subcontracting and outside engineering that are required for the development and installation of our projects, as well as preconstruction costs, sales incentives, associated travel, inventory obsolescence charges, amortization of intangible assets related to customer contracts, and, if applicable, costs of procuring financing. A majority of our contracts have fixed price terms; however, in some cases we negotiate protections, such as a cost-plus structure, to mitigate the risk of rising prices for materials, services and equipment.
Direct expenses also include O&M costs for the small-scale renewable energy plants that we own, including the cost of fuel (if any) and depreciation charges.
As a result of our acquisitions in 2011, we now have intangible assets related
to customer contracts; these are amortized over a period of approximately one to
five years from the respective date of acquisition. This amortization is
recorded as a direct expense for energy efficiency. Amortization expense for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, related to customer contracts
was $0.4 million and $2.0 million, respectively, and is included in energy
efficiency expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income.
Gross margin, which is gross profit as a percent of revenue, is affected by a
number of factors, including the type of services performed and the geographic
region in which the sale is made. Renewable energy projects that we own and
operate typically have higher margins than energy efficiency projects, and sales
in the United States typically have higher margins than in Canada due to the
typical mix of products and services that we sell there.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses consist of salaries and benefits, project development costs, and general, administrative and other expenses.
Salaries and benefits. Salaries and benefits consist primarily of expenses for personnel not directly engaged in specific project or revenue generating activity. These expenses include the time of executive management, legal, finance, accounting, human resources, information technology and other staff not utilized in a particular project. We employ a comprehensive time card system which creates a contemporaneous record of the actual time by employees on project activity. We expect salaries and benefits to continue to increase on a year-over-year basis as we continue to incur additional costs related to operating as a publicly-traded company, including accounting, compliance and legal, as well as related to executing our growth plans.
Project development costs. Project development costs consist primarily of sales, engineering, legal, finance and third-party expenses directly related to the development of a specific customer opportunity. This also includes associated travel and marketing expenses.We intend to hire additional sales personnel and initiate additional marketing programs as we expand into new regions or complement existing development resources. Accordingly, we expect that our project development costs will continue to increase on a year-over-year basis, but will moderate as a percentage of revenue over time.
General, administrative and other expenses. These expenses consist primarily of rents and occupancy, professional services, insurance, unallocated travel expenses, telecommunications, office expenses and amortization of intangible assets not related to customer contracts. Professional services consist principally of recruiting costs, external legal, audit, tax and other consulting services. We expect general, administrative and other expenses to continue to increase on a year-over-year basis as we continue to incur additional costs related to operating as a publicly-traded company, including increased audit and legal fees, costs of compliance with securities, corporate governance and other regulations, investor relations expenses and higher insurance premiums, particularly those related to director and officer insurance, as well as related to executing our growth plans. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded $0.8 million relating to a gain on sale of an asset. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2012, the Company recorded amortization expense of $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively, related to customer relationships, non-compete agreements, technology and trade names. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2012, the Company recorded amortization expense of $0.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively, related to customer relationships, non-compete agreements, technology and trade names. Amortization expense related to these intangible assets is included in general, administrative and other expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income.
Other Expenses, Net
Other expenses, net consists primarily of interest income on cash balances, interest expense on borrowings and amortization of deferred financing costs. Interest expense will vary periodically depending on the amounts drawn on our revolving senior secured credit facility and the prevailing short-term interest rates.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is based on various rates set by federal and local authorities and is affected by permanent and temporary differences between financial accounting and tax reporting requirements. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue,
expense and related disclosures. The most significant estimates with regard to
these condensed consolidated financial statements relate to estimates of final
contract profit in accordance with long-term contracts, project development
costs, project assets, impairment of goodwill, impairment of long-lived assets,
fair value of derivative financial instruments, income taxes and stock-based
compensation expense. Such estimates and assumptions are based on historical
experience and on various other factors that management believes to be
reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and assumptions are made on an
ongoing basis, and accordingly, the actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The following are certain critical accounting policies that among others, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. For a more complete discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, please read Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Revenue Recognition
For each arrangement we have with a customer, we typically provide a combination . . .

Through the project she personally taught over 1,500 children how to knit in schools around Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri and Tennessee.
Her most ambitious project to date has been knitting a 32lb sweater for a 5ft, 250lb fiberglass globe. It required military grade parachute cord and a forklift to complete. Inspired by a frequent conversation in her household of "Mom, I'm cold!" followed by "Put on a sweater," her public art piece "Adjust the Thermostat" has been exhibited around the world with the traveling exhibition Cool Globes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet.
Lindsay views her role as artist to be synonymous with that of an educator and as such has always included teaching as part of her art practice. She's never sure who learns more, her or her students. She's taught at schools, universities, guilds, and shops with students ranging in age from three to 92.
Born in St. Louis, Lindsay now resides in Chicago with her daughter and two zany pooches.When not in the studio, she may be found puttering in the garden, experimenting in the kitchen, or at a coffee shop perusing the latest travel magazines.

Glass looks a lot better in Skyrim than Oblivion.
You should have acted. They're already here. The Elder Scrolls told of their return. Their defeat was merely delay until the time after Oblivion opened, when the sons of Skyrim would spill their own blood. But... there is one they fear. In their tongue he is Dovahkiin; Dragon Born!

I figured I'd put some of my tips that help outlast the odds in my runs and maybe pick up a few from others as well, this thread is for certain strategies people use to keep lasting and fighting.
My personal strategies:
Poison - Always have a poison or steel type in your party to reduce this risk from occuring; always good to have a pokemon with Dig, Fly, or Teleport to get you to a pokemon center ASAP; and if poisoned and you have other pokemon in party, make sure the poisoned victim is not your lead in case of wild battles along the way to avoid trap battles making you lose more HP (this is more for players who have No Items in their rules).
Power Leveling/Grinding - Always good to have a "spot" for power leveling, be it high level exp pokemon or just safe/easy to kill for moderate exp; Best to have one "leveling move" that works well or perfect on multiple types to assure less risk of death and quicker leveling results; Only risk negative type advantage leveling if you're sure you can handle it with minimal chance of disaster.
Team Creation - Personally, I like having a good understanding of Attack/Defense and SpAtk/SpDef in my team, if too much of one or the other I'll swap out to help even the odds; Another personal belief is that if it isn't broken don't fix it, trading out current teammates is best reserved for more strategical replacements or protection purposes (traded my machoke for snorlax at sabrina's gym for obvious reasons).
Again, these are just some of my personal ideas and I'd love to hear others that people have or even expansions on my own suggestions would be great. If possible please try to avoid troll advice, as some people may take it seriously. Hope to see a lot of good responses!

Conqueror of the Cerulean Gym
When grinding before a big Gym battle and you think you should be good to go, GRIND AT LEAST ONE MORE LEVEL ON YOUR POKEMON. Just to be sure. I cannot tell you how many of my Pokemon died in Gym battles when I was confident it was strong enough.
Also, Potions are your friend.

Good point...it's amazing what one more level can do to improve your strategy and odds.
Also something I do that may seem odd, I save singular TM's that won't show up later for the E4. It's a risky strategy because while you may want one of your pokemon to have a great move, saving it will make sure it's put to good use when you need it most...

Evil Metal Fairy Queen
I agree with having a Poison/Steel type in the team to avoid getting poisoned. Also, Steel/Rock types are brilliant shields for explosive pokemon so having a Steel type in the team can be a real life saver. If you think the foe's going to explode or poison your pokemon, just switch in you Steel type. It's beautiful.
Saving single TM's for later isn't that bad. I saved most of my TM's until I was able to challenge the E4 because there is always a chance that the pokemon you gave the TM to dies before that and then both your pokemon AND the TM move is gone forever and you can't teach it to a replacement. It really depends on the generation; sone pokemon learn very good moves naturally but some may need TM moves pretty badly.
And one more: avoid double battles as much as possible. If you see that there is a chance to avoid a double battle, do so. Double battles can be really evil and one error estimate may result in a death of a teammate.

|All I have to say is grind and pussy out whenever possible. If you things something's not going to go right, like a gym battle, or an event battle, you think you're a little too low... DON'T THINK. JUST RUN. Starter almost went out the window one time because I thought Cyrus would be a pushover.

|Always carry at least one repel at all times, especially if you're doing a blind run and don't know the route Pokemon well. You might be running deep into the grass when you find out that all the wild Pokemon are supereffective against all your Pokemon. Since there's always a chance that you can't run from the wild battle, it's safer to use a repel to get out of the area.

Um... you could always use an antidote/full heal/full restore? Hell, if you don't have any of those by the time you've got a Pokemon that can teleport/dig/fly, then that's just silly.

Carry lotsssss of antidotes. I cannot stress that enough :(
And always make sure there is at least one tank on your team to take hits that come your way. Have one on my current team who saved the others' lives so many times ;u;
I agree with the TM thing as well, you never know when someone might just die and take the TM with it :'( Best to wait till you have your E4 team in concrete.

Always have AT LEAST 10 Antidotes. 15 if you're entering the region's forest.
Grind. If you're afraid of a pokemon, you've not grinded enough.
Never have a team of 6 glass cannons.
Don't take risks. You're pokemon able to take out that foe, as long as it doesn't get a five-crit Fury Swipes? It's gonna get that five-crit Fury Swipes.
You still haven't grinded enough.
If you're going through hell, keep going. -Winston Churchill

Lord of Servitude
My rule variation is NoItems which is why I stress the return moves and carrying a poison or steel type. In my non-nuzlocke runs i always carried 5 of each status healing item just in case which is a good tip for ItemAccessible runs since even something less lethal like paralyze can still switch up your entire strategy.
Another tip for those doing NoItem runs (primarily for the Elite 4) is to have a good defense pokemon with Rest or any healing move (if possible). Until he died, Snorlax was a beast about doing major damage, taking major damage, and then sleeping it off to go right back to pummeling.

Conqueror of the Viridian Gym
|Don't bother running from wild pokemon unless your team's low on HP, or if the only pokemon that aren't low on HP are weak to whatever's in the area. Third gen or later, you may get lucky and get pokeHIV, and anything else you just keep the experience. Once I realized this I just stopped running from wild mons... I also lost a newer pokemon this way, so if you're going to do it, be wary of level.

Never risk trying to kill an exploder unless you know you can take it out. Becuase it can, and WILL, explode on its first move.
Try to keep as much type coverage as possible. You never know when a trainer will throw a curveball at you.
If your not doing a no-item run, then keep excessive amounts of items on you at all times. (I had TWENTY Super Potions going into Misty in FireRed. Thats how paranoid I was. I was right, too.)
Know the pokemon on the routes, up to their most devastating move. That way, you know what to run from, and what you can safely kill.
Try to keep above the levels of wilds at all costs. The last thing you need is nature itself killing you.
Got an Exp. Share? USE IT. This can save you so much time in grinding the few of your team who fell behind, as well as giving your high-leveled mon a few more exp/levels.
ALWAYSALWAYSALWAYS save tms until you absolutely need them.
Grinding is the answer to everything.
Never tackle a trainer if your pokemon are weak. These trainers will magically have strong pokemon.
And finally, never doubt the power of any one pokemon. Those pokemon can, and in several thousand cases have, saved a run from going belly-up.
|Apr 27 2011, 04:30 PM Post #14
I don't switch my pokemon out ever as I feel this takes away from the challenge a bit, so none of those rules about using certain pokemon really apply to me. I just use whatever I catch first. A couple tips I have though:
Don't use your good TM's on a brand new member of the team. Wait until they've proven themselves first and have leveled up a bit. You cannot image how many times I've wasted good TMs by giving them to brand new members of the team only to have them die in their first real battle.
Always carry a few spare pokedolls just in case. Again, speaking from experience of trying to run from powerful wild pokemon only to have the "can't escape" message appear and then they slaughter me with crits.
Carry at least 20 balls on you at all times if possible. Self explanatory.
Don't fight trainers you aren't sure you can beat until you're 100% sure you can beat them. Just because you have 4 pokemon with earthquake and the next gym leader is steel type doesn't mean you're going to win. Also, just because your pokemon can mop the floor with 9/10 trainers on a route doesn't mean the 10th trainer is a pushover.

Never assume that something isn't going to crit or that your opponent won't use a specific move.
Also, if the opponent has a really strong move with crap accuracy (I'm looking at you, Horn Drill) it will hit.
Personal preference here: get Pokemon with high speed or defense. They need to be able to strike before the opponent or be capable of taking a hit. I've never had a glass cannon survive.

Well I assumed from the title that this thread was for Nuzlockes in general, with silly side-rules ignored since most people tend to start with the basic 2 rules.
Of course, if this is a thread about extra rules then I will merge this thread with the rule variant sticky.

Later Nuz
|ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS GRIND. Being Overleveled? There's no problem with that. Count on crits always hitting, and I haven't seen anybody say, be wary of Pursuit. Seriously in my Platinum run right now, it's a real bitch. My Espeon almost bit the big one because of a crit.

There is only one hint I can give you.
Always keep Murphys Law in mind. If something can go wrong, it WILL go wrong. Critpoision Sludge Bombs, for example, for a 5 turn sleep with crits each turn.

My apologies, a lot of the other advice given was for Nuzlocke General so it wasn't intended to be just advice on my particular run, just a guide to any possibilities and strategies gained from these challenges. I'll keep this as a General advice thread to keep it from being any more trouble.
Using moves that cost you a turn or decrease your major stats should be saved either for last or against an overpowered foe, those kind of odds against you can sometimes be all it takes to lose someone important. Simply put, don't use Draco Meteor on a Metapod if there's a Dragonite waiting on the backburner of a battle...

Patterns of apparent extirpation among isolated populations of pikas (Ochotona princeps) in the Great Basin
Journal of Mammalogy
- By:

- Download citation as: RIS
AbstractWe conducted exploratory analyses to examine the relative roles played by natural and anthropogenic influences on persistence of a montane mammal. We revisited historical locations of pikas (Ochotona princeps) within the hydrographic Great Basin during summers of 1994a??1999. Seven of 25 populations (28%) reported earlier in the 20th century appeared to have experienced recent extirpations. We assessed causative agents of faunal change using several alternative, but not mutually exclusive, hypotheses. Higher probability of persistence was correlated with greater area of talus habitat at local and mountain-range scales, higher elevation, more easterly longitude, more southern latitude, lack of livestock grazing, greater distance to primary roads, and wilderness management. However, only area of habitat in the mountain range, maximum elevation of talus habitat, and distance to primary roads appeared in the most parsimonious model of persistence when we used Akaike's information criterion model-selection technique. These results suggest that relaxation of montane faunas may occur more rapidly than previously expected; that biogeographic models of species occurrence can be refined by including more proximate factors (e.g., grazing status, proximity to roads); and that habitat-based approaches to modelling vertebrate trends should be accompanied by field data because population loss can occur with no apparent change in habitat.

Fast last day
Blog Written with a loving hand by kitt some time around 16:18 on 1 August 2008
Holy crap, we made great time on the river today, MUCH better than ten years ago. Except for about an hour mid-afternoon, before the clouds cooled everything, the day was nicely warm, not the brutal hot, with a light breeze, not a blazing wind, and a good current, not a stagnant pool. Good memories of that day.

Another Newbie Question
Expand Messages
- As I understand it, there are two basic types of hydro power.
One depends on the weight of the water.
The other on the impact of the water.
The old post card style depends on the weight.
High volume is needed, even at low pressure or inertia.
That is why you will sometimes see wheels as much as ten feet wide to catch a large volume of low inertia water.
They are catching more weight.
The smaller wheels, "turbines," use the force of impact to spin.
This design goes beyond just water.
Steam, compressed air, anything you can force through a nozzle, will work.
They need the high head, even if at low volume, for the pressure.
You need the pressure to create the impact.

Picture: Ja Rule DCMA Collective Flagship Store Opening - Arrivals Los Angeles, California - 14.03.08
Florida teenager AMBER RIDINGER celebrated her coming-of-age Bat Mitzvah in style on Saturday (12NOV05) by inviting Ja Rule, Ashanti and Omarion to her party.
The wannabe fashion designer's parents paid $500,000 (GBP277,800) to make sure her 13th birthday bash at Miami Beach club THE FORGE was a star-studded affair.
The Inc boss Irv Gotti, who oversees Ja Rule and Ashanti, is a friend of Ridinger's family, and also attended the party where his acts performed.
The guest list also included Playboy playmate Brande Roderick and Nicole Richie's fiance DJ AM, according to MTV News.
Ja Rule joked that it was his first Bat Mitzvah performance: "I'm Uncle Ja. I'm really here just to scare all the little boys, the little 13-year-old bad boys that try to hit on little Amber."

Seriously, they did! Look at it! Instead of being some anonymous South Asian egg, the Mitsubishi Mirage now looks like an anonymous European egg.
Okay, okay. It isn't going to set your heart alight with desire, but Mitsubishi has done a stellar job upgrading the Mirage with the few resources it has at its disposal. This little subcompact hatchback will be the first Mitsubishi ever to offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Its 1.2-liter MIVEC three-cylinder engine gets an ever-so slight bump to 78 horsepower (+4 over the current Mirage). The Japanese automaker even gave the exterior and interior a fairly thorough re-work considering this is a mid-cycle refresh. And considering this is Mitsubishi we're talking about here.
Those of you who were totally sold on the Rockford Fosgate special edition, fear not! You can still get that in the new Mirage, too, though minus the badging that tells thieves which car to hit in the Kroger parking lot.
