In a turn of events that stuns absolutely no one, the energy generators in the state of Texas are once again attempting to leverage more money from the customers and retail electricity providers to line their pockets. And naturally, they are using the alleged, worst case scenario of an "energy shortage" in Texas and the fears surrounding it as their vehicle to increased profits. From the DMN article: Continue reading "Power Generators Continue Campaign to Squeeze Texas Electricity Customers Dry" »

PUC Continues to Drop Ball on Consumer Advocacy?
I revieve reader questions on a regular basis about how the PUC handles their ranking system. The general thrust is "I see there is a state rankings system for Texas electricity, but it looks dated." Or "I don't see the electricity provider that I'm interested in listed on the PUC's page. What gives?" I wrote an article in early November about some serious flaws and confusing inconsistencies in how the PUC updates and lists the Texas retail electricity providers (REPs) in their complaint scorecard in attempt to address some of these FAQs. I then posted an update in early January pointing out that yet again the PUC had fallen behind and failed to update their complaint scorecard. I'm not sure what the problem is, but Continue reading "PUC Continues to Drop Ball on Consumer Advocacy?" »
Texas Electricity Ratings: Rankings Update 2/19/13
We're well into the new year, and it is time for a new update of our rankings here at Texas Electricity Ratings. We've had rate changes now that companies are preparing to move back into summer rates, and there's also been another round of customer reviews that I've entered into my system. So with that in mind, here's our latest round of rankings:
Bounce Energy 4.04
Champion Energy Services 3.91
StarTex Power 3.81
TriEagle Energy 3.69
Gexa Energy 3.58
Direct Energy 3.17
Amigo Energy 3.09
Tara Energy 3.02
Green Mountain Energy 2.79
TXU Energy 2.53
Texas Power 2.46
Reliant Energy 2.13
Congratulations to Bounce Energy, who is back in the top spot! Bounce is followed by Champion Energy, who slipped a little but during this rankings system. StarTex Power has slipped back into the 3rd spot, even after their purchase by Constellation Energy. That speaks well to how they've been transitioned into Constellation.
During my rankings update, I've also noticed some more things about the Power To Choose website rankings, but that will be another post I'll put up later today or tomorrow.
Texas Electricity News & Notes 1/10/2013
There were a couple of news items that hit the Texas electricity market this week. Neither of them on their own require enough analysis to warrant an entire blog post, so I'm going to stick them together in this one blog post. First up, Continue reading "Texas Electricity News & Notes 1/10/2013" »
Champion Energy Wins 3rd Straight JD Power & Associates Award
Late last week it was announced that Champion Energy won the 2012 JD Power & Associates survey for customer satisfaction. This marks the third consecutive ear that Champion Energy has won the award, which is an outstanding achievement and really demonstrates their commitment to customer service and satisfaction. Champion Energy is the first electricity provider to win the award for three consecutive years.
Champion Energy got perfect scores on 3 of the 4 grading criteria that JD Power measured, which are Billing & Payment, Price, Communications, and Customer Service. Their total score was 756 out of a possible 800, improving on their 2011 score of 745. The Texas electricity industry average score was 678, which Champion exceeded by 78 points. Again, congratulations to Champion Energy.
Also performing well was relative market newcomer, Bounce Energy, which was founded in 2008. Bounce Energy was the only other Texas electricity provider to score the top 5 point ranking with a total score was 745. Bounce's performance is particularly impressive when you consider that they are the youngest company on the survey to be included. Additionally, this was just their second year to be included in the survey at all, finishing last year with 681 points. So Bounce Energy also deserves a well-deserved congratulations for moving into a very strong 2nd place finish in just their second year in the JD Power survey.
StarTex Power had another great showing, finishing third with a total of 729 points. Also of interest to me was that both market incumbents and big name providers Reliant Energy and TXU Energy finished with marks below the industry average with scores 669 and 663, respectively.
The survey results weren't the only things I found interesting in the press release, which also spoke about the general satisfaction with Texas electricity customers when compared to consumer satisfaction in regulated markets without choice. I'll take a closer look at that this afternoon in a separate article. Full results below.
My Experience With a Smart Meter
I lived in an apartment for years that had a smart meter, and despite the fact that I write about them regularly on this website, I never really paid much attention to them myself. However, I recently moved into a home with a lot more electricity usage. On top of that, I saw this quote in an article in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram last week, which I found really fascinating:
ERCOT Price Market Cap Changes Appear Politically Motivated
I've written before about the potential crisis in Texas due to the lack of new generation plants. Basically, not many new energy generation plants are being built, or even planned, at a time when Texas's population continues to explode and our electricity needs along with it. The problem is that because of the deregulated electricity system, all new plants must be built by private investors instead of by taxing customers or raising electric rates. And right now the low cost of natural gas and the lack of guaranteed profits have investors leery of risking the construction of new plants in Texas.
A commonly referenced solution Continue reading "ERCOT Price Market Cap Changes Appear Politically Motivated" »
Examining a Few Texas Electricity Ratings Customer Reviews
I get tons of customer reviews through Texas Electricity Ratings, and one of the most consistent issues I see are negative reviews based on misconceptions, or in some cases, a lack of understanding of how the deregulated electricity market works. Since a big part of what I do is to try and help educate people on how the market works I'm going to paste some reviews that I didn't let through the website for various reasons, which I will explain at length below.
These first two reviews go together:

Texas Electricity Ratings Updates Rankings on 2/22/12
I just wanted to make a quick post alerting everyone that I've re-calculated the rankings on my website, Texas Electricity Ratings. The rankings are compiled using a number of independent sources including current electric rates, the most recent PUC complaint statistics, Better Business Bureau rankings, the customer reviews submitted through the website, and more.

Who is The Texas Coalition for Affordable Power (TCAP)?
Anyone who visits my blog regularly has probably seen that I've been talking a lot about the Texas Coalition for Affordable Power (TCAP) lately. TCAP recently published their "history" of deregulated electricity in the state of Texas, and there are several things about their self-proclaimed history I find questionable, which I've documented at great length in the four posts below: Continue reading "Who is The Texas Coalition for Affordable Power (TCAP)?" »

The cosmic Hausdorff topology, the bounded Hausdorff topology and continuity of polarity
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: We give geometric proofs of recent results of G. Beer [13]: the Young-Fenchel correspondence is bicontinuous on the space of closed proper convex functions on a normed vector space endowed with the epidistance topology and the polarity operation is continuous on the space of closed convex subsets of with the bounded Hausdorff topology. Our methods are in the spirit of a famous result due to Walkup and Wets [31] about the isometric character of the polarity for closed convex cones. We also prove that the Hausdorff distance associated with the cosmic distance on the space of convex subsets of a normed vector space induces the bounded -Hausdorff topology. This shows a link between Beer's results and the continuity results of [2].

Judge hears drug treatment center appeal
SCRANTON — A Lackawanna County judge on Friday heard arguments in a drug and alcohol treatment center's appeal of the Carbondale Zoning Board's decision to deny a variance to operate in the former Marian Community Hospital.
Cynthia Bellino, executive director of the Just Believe Recovery Center, is seeking to overturn the board's March ruling that precludes her from opening the center.
Joel Wolff of Scranton, Ms. Bellino's attorney, said the hospital is in a residential section but had operated as a permitted use.
When the hospital closed in 2012, the permitted use expired, which required Ms. Bellino to seek a variance.
Mr. Wolff said Senior Judge John Braxton heard oral arguments on the case and will issue a ruling at a later date.

IBM Maximo for Nuclear Power and its Role in the Nuclear Renaissance
Terry Ray 2700029M8H email@example.com | | Tags:  service-management energy power asset-management nuclear tivoli maximo eam
0 Comments | 2,245 Visits
I closed my last blog (Oil & Gas: C-Level Perspectives, 10 November 2009) mentioning that in my next blog I would expand the Oil & Gas discussion on the three priorities that will enable Operational Excellence; specifically, standardization, convergence, and collaboration. Well, that is not the case as I want to update you on another important IBM industry – the nuclear power industry.
Last week, Joe Schippert (Product Architect for IBM Maximo for Nuclear Power) and I delivered a presentation for an IBM Service Management Jam. The title of our talk was IBM Maximo for Nuclear Power and its Role in the Nuclear Renaissance.
The term Renaissance means a 'rebirth' and I believe that the nuclear industry is truly in a Renaissance as evidenced by the number of new reactors under construction, planned, or proposed. IBM is well positioned to support the Renaissance in that it has been an IT and Industry Solution provider for over 30 years. The Company has extensive experience in consulting (strategy, supply chain, analytics, etc.), systems design, integration, and technology solutions.
As the 'new' nuclear build program unfolds, there are many challenges ranging from information management, knowledge management, risk management, technology exploitation, security, supply chain, and regulation. To respond to these challenges, companies must be 'smarter' about how they build, operate, and maintain their assets. With advances in technology and collaboration tools, as well as sophisticated sensor networks, deep computing, and analytics, nuclear companies can use smarter designs to build smarter plants, use smarter delivery to get the plants on-line faster, can operate smarter to maximize production, and finally they can achieve smarter maintenance to keep their assets secure, reliable and available.
In a few weeks, IBM will release an updated version of IBM Maximo for Nuclear Power. The key features of the new solutions are 1) corrective action, 2) permits, 3) surveillance testing, 4) configuration change management, 5) equipment groups, and 6) clearances.
For more in-depth details on the Service Management Jam and IBM Maximo for Nuclear Power, please visit the IBM Service Management Resource Center.
Until next time…………

Kitchen Island and Decorating Tips
Kitchen islands are special counter tops that are centrally located. These counters are mainly used for preparing food or for other auxiliary cooking needs.
They are normally waist high or higher. They are used to prepare foods like pasta, dough or to cool food that has just come out of the oven, before it can be served.
During the morning rush hour when the whole family is rushing off to start their day it can also serve as a table for a quick meal. They are very useful, practical and space efficient. Over the past few years they have become very popular.
Kitchen islands can be made from a variety of materials. From standard kitchen materials like tile or wood to the modern stainless steel or new age stone.
They often include drawers and cabinets that are used to store utensils and other food preparation tools thus also adding to the storage space of the kitchen.
Here are some decorating tips for a kitchen island:
Turn the Kitchen Island into a Sitting Area
Depending on the size of the island, it may be easy to turn it into a sitting area for the family.
Add a few stools around the island and clean off the top of it so that the family can sit around and enjoy meals at the table. This is a great alternative if you don't have a kitchen table in the room or if you only have a formal dining table in the house.
It offers a convenient space that can be utilized in the best way possible. You can even choose to set the island with placemats if you want to add even more style to the room.
Add an Appliance to the Kitchen Island
Placing an appliance on the island may not seem like you are decorating but this serves as both a functional way and decorative way to store a great appliance that you may have.
Don't just put any old appliance on the counter area. Instead use your nice fancy stainless steel toaster or blender for the décor.
If you are going to decorate with an appliance be sure that the island has outlets or there is one accessible from where the island is located in the kitchen.
Decorate the Kitchen Island with Kitchen Utensils and Products
Decorating the island with utensils or products goes along the same lines as the appliances. Don't just use any old kitchen products to place on the counter.
Things like a spice rack, decorative containers and baskets are a great idea for the kitchen island. Some other items you may consider are napkin or paper towel holders and canisters of dried goods such as sugar and flour.
Just be sure that you don't throw everything on the island and use it as a catch all. It should still be neatly organized.
Decorate the Kitchen Island with Flowers
If you are really stuck on what to do with your kitchen island, then try a nice vase or basket of flowers. Fresh flowers are more appealing than fake ones, but they will need to be replaced every few days.
You could also try a nice house plant on the island as well. This is a very simple and easy way to add some color and style to the otherwise bare countertop.
A kitchen island is just another area in the room that needs attention when decorating. You could leave an island completely empty on top, but that space may look quite boring and bring down the look of the kitchen.
Why not utilize the space that you have and make your kitchen look more appealing?

Chassis: nMediaPC HTPC 1000B
AMD's chassis of choice came from nMediaPC—a vendor with whom we had never worked. The company's HTPC 1000B isn't like the loud, expensive touch screen-equipped units that Don recently rounded up. Rather, it's a compact, svelte, brushed aluminum and steel enclosure priced under $100. For an inexpensive HTPC, we were more than happy to give it a look.
The case has room for micro-ATX motherboards (exactly what we were putting into it), one external 5.25" drive bay, four internal 3.5" drive bays, and four full-profile upgrade slots in the back. Front panel connectivity includes eSATA, high-def audio, a card reader, FireWire, and USB. All of the ports and connectors worked without issue, including eSATA.
We like that the HTPC 1000B has plenty of room around the motherboard to work—connecting headers, plugging in cards, and installing memory is very easy. There's ample room for the power supply, too. And cable management isn't an issue, either. We had lots of space around the processor cooler for airflow. Nothing on the front of the chassis shines so brightly as to be distracting, and because the case (and everything in it) was designed for the home theater, it is remarkably quiet.
We didn't care for the drive mounting options, which put our hard disk under two tiers of steel sheeting—connectors completely out of reach. Also, the case's lid, while crafted of steel, bends easily and was difficult to re-attach after just a couple of times handling it.
Power Supply: Corsair VX450
When you aren't driving high-end hardware, picking the right power supply is all about maximizing efficiency by right-sizing the output, as Patrick showed in his story Core 2 Nukes Atom On The Desktop. AMD chose to include Corsair's VX450 in our Maui machine, and we support that decision. The 450 W PSU is just enough for the hardware we're recommending without commanding a lot of chassis space, generating much heat, or creating a lot of noise.
1aahjnnot , 18 February 2009 17:11You seem to have missed the big reason for a media centre (deliberately no capitals as I use MythTV on Linux): it's the network. I have a flat screen TV or computer in almost every room of the house, including wireless laptop access in the garden. That means that anything anyone in the family watches or records from the TV, together with our entire collection of music and movies, is available anywhere at any time with no reason to faff about with physical media. Sure, I don't usually want to watch a movie in the kitchen. But it's great a great place to catch up on yesterday's ski racing, or for my kids to watch their favourite bits from an old DVD.
You can't get that level of universal access with separate dedicated components in each room - at least in the UK.
0Anonymous , 18 February 2009 18:24Well said aahjnnot!
Also, there was no mention of the other options - 9300 based MB with C2D 5200, cheaper and plays BluRay perfectly. Or G45 based board, finally Intel does proper IGP.
0a1exh , 18 February 2009 21:20The price point of the HTPC still does not make sense. You still get a better bang-4-buck with a second hand XBOX1 installed with XBMC.
It is such a shame that the video capabilities of the current generation of consoles is so under utilised.
1Henrlk , 19 February 2009 18:52It's still a long way until you have it all in one spot avaliable to regular customers, i mean with a single remote that can control everything (without having a keyboard at all). People of today barely know what to buy. They have no clue what a graphic card is or what model does what nore how to handle or install them properly. Hardware or software wise All this have to be done avaliable in a extremely simple way. Detailed information "what the product is capable of" to the customer in a very simple way of telling. But still not leaving the one that know what components they want out.
I think i could do all this, but i dont work for any of these companies and i dont know english to well so i guess this is not what i was suppose to do.
0disc01 , 20 February 2009 17:32I think it's about time that there was another look at the htpc.
How ever it does cost and I feel cannot be done on a budget in order to get the full use of it. To get full use of bluray that sound card used doesnt support full bluray sound, I use a ASUS Xonar for this and it's great I get my sound and video through one cable to my av receiver, this is were the market needts to be going. I have got full bluray play back at 1080p and 96khz sound. also plugins are easy to add into media center to allow games & email or nearly anything else you want to be used from the media center.
0hairlocks , 20 February 2009 21:52I have been using Mythtv since 2001. My current setup with 3 DVB tuners, and a diskless and fanless front since 2004. It still looks like windows media centre is lagging behind.
The HTPC age has been upon me for the last 8 years.
1jschoorl , 20 February 2009 22:17Hello Chris,
Although for the most part a great review, I think you miss the essence of this platform, namely it's great audio quality combined with great onboard video quality. You say that you have used your own multi-channel receiver connected to the motherboard's S/PDIF output. If you use this great motherboard like this, it's just another great motherboard with a few plusses.
To name one, the 780M chipset comes with an additional 128MB side-port memory. This allows the ATI Radeon HD 3200 access to its own graphics memory, instead of sharing memory with the processor, making the configuration more efficient and strips away loading access to the processor's memory bus which will have a positive effect on playback of 1080p content.
The very, very special thing of this board are the audio capabilities. There are effectively 3 different audio codec's on this board. ATI for audio over HDMI. Realtek for the SPDIF (that you have used) and D2Audio for the analog amp or pre amp card. This last one makes the board special and is the reason you want to buy this board. On the board you will find the DAE-3 Digital Amplifier chip from D2Audio (recently taken over by Intersil).
D2Audio is a very well known chipmaker in the audio space; they make high quality class D digital amplifiers for folks like B&W, Polk, Control 4, Phasetech, Denon, Marantz, etc. This code provides much higher audio quality than traditional PC audio. Signal to Noise Ratio is 105dB or higher, Total Harmonic Distortion is 0.1% or lower. This is similar to fairly expensive Mainstream Amplifiers.
D2Audio specializes in Class-D amplifiers that achieve remarkable 93% power efficiency. This means that for every 100W of power delivered to the speakers, less than 7W is dissipated by the amplifier. Because of the way audio power is distributed between channels, the overall amplifier thermal dissipation inside the enclosure will typically be below 20W. This compares with the 40% to 50% efficiency of Class-A/B amplifiers which dissipate as much power inside the enclosure as they deliver to the speakers. That's why receivers are so heavy (a very huge cooling block and powerful PSU).
The 5-channel amplifier with a 100W peak power (at 8Ω or 200W at 4Ω) per channel can draw as much as 500W peak alone from the typical 300W ATX power supply. If such a high power were drawn from the supply in an uncontrolled way, the CPU voltages could not be maintained at correct levels and the system would crash. Having a digital media platform crash every time a loud sequence is played in a movie or game is obviously unacceptable. Fortunately, D2Audio developed real-time power monitoring and management firmware that runs on the embedded DAE-3 DSP to carefully monitor and control the power draw from the ATX power supply. With careful supply loading and local power storage, the system is able to meet the 500W peak amplifier demands delivering outstanding audio, while also protecting the CPU operating voltages.
If may do a suggestion, pull your speaker cables out of your receiver, including your sub and hook them up to the 5.1 AMP card that came with the board. I think you will be suprised.
I have used the AMD Maui platform now for almost two months. Especially with Windows 7 it gave an awesome experience. I have sold my HD satelite receiver, my Pioneer receiver and DVD player. I have now just one-box-fit-all HTPC. My build can be found at www.htpcplus.com
0Anonymous , 23 February 2009 03:51Nice article; but would have been nice to see ClearQAM performance and/or use with two 650s All-wonder cards.
0kevinherring , 23 February 2009 05:44I'm sorry but I really cannot see the point in this article. All of this technology has been around for years! On the Windows platform, MCE 2004/2005 offered all this functionality in a stable, easy to use package years ago; Vista and 7 offer a few minor tweaks, but nothing substantially new. Also MythTV has been doing this for much longer.
The only really interesting thing about the article was the sound card, but you brushed that aside.
Also, don't forget standby mode. There is no "booting" of the PC to watch TV etc. It is either on standby, or on all the time. My (Vista) HTPC hasn't been rebooted for weeks.
0mp4lms , 24 February 2009 16:54a real eye opener for a newbie in the UK. have wanted home theatre but without the Receiver. I new there was a way.
Quick question though. I have a Virgin Media cable box in the UK which is connected via Scart to my TV. Are you saying I just pull the Coax out the back of it and bang it in the TV card? then HDMI or Component into TV?
many thanks and hope to hear from you..
0mamikel , 25 February 2009 18:20Just a note of warning, Windows 7 and TV pack have some serious bugs for Australian users which aren't present in Vista and XPMCE prior the TV changes. While MS Media Centre is comparitively easier to set up and is arguably "prettier", offerings such as Media Portal and MythTV (although more involved to configure and perhaps less tuner support in the case of MythTV)at least offer a generally more stable offering.
-1knighthawk5 , 28 February 2009 04:51Two Words.... Good Laptop... Just hook your laptop to you TV and there you go.

It was a Friday morning and Harris had come to volunteer.
"He helps us read," another student Morgynne Lunsford said.

Salyer has traded in his classroom chairs for large bouncy balls.
"I was really excited," fourth grader Braden Bryant said about the news of the ball chairs. "It makes sitting down at your desk fun and it helps you get in shape around your stomach."
Salyer said the balls have been a hit.
"School can get boring," Salyer said. "At least this way, they can get some energy out."
Harrison County High School students are grieving Monday morning, following the death of senior Brittany Cordray, 17.
According to a press release issued by the Kentucky State Police, Cordray and three passengers were traveling from Bourbon County around 9:45 p.m. Friday, when the 2000 Ford Taurus Cordray was driving left the roadway and flipped, landing in a nearby pond.
The three juvenile passengers were able to get out of the vehicle and pull Cordray from the partially submerged vehicle.

While covering the news as a former reporter for The Cynthiana Democrat, Lisa Hurst developed a love for photography.
Hurst left the newspaper in 2000, but never stopped taking pictures.
"I take pictures of lots of things," she said Monday afternoon.
One of her pictures will be among the art displayed at the Governor's Derby Exhibition at the Capitol Rotunda.

Bertha Clark moved from Nashville to Cynthiana in 2006 and became a star. Actually, her home has become the star -- an Energy Star.
With electric bills nearing $800 per month, Clark knew she had to do something to make her Licking Valley home more efficient.
Steve Rose with Blue Grass Energy did an audit of her home to find its failures. What he discovered was the loss of about 70 percent of her heat, much of which was simply going up the chimney.
She contracted Tim Wilson of Copperwood Construction to do what he could to make her home more efficient.

Finding on high school students' reading skills is indication of new population taking college tests
An education professor at the University of North Texas says a new study on reading released by the testing company ACT -- which concludes that too many American high school students are graduating without the reading skills they'll need to succeed in college and in workforce training programs -- is not surprising.
Dr. Leslie Patterson, professor of reading at UNT's College of Education, gives a simple explanation: More students are taking the test, and more of those students are the first in their families to attend college.
The ACT study shows that only about half -- 51 percent -- of the nearly 1.2 million 2005 high school graduates who took the ACT college admission and placement exam met the College Readiness Benchmark for reading on the exam, the lowest level in more than a decade. Students who reach or exceed the benchmark are likely ready to handle the reading requirements for typical credit-bearing first-year college social science courses. The percentage of students prepared for college-level reading peaked at 55 percent in 1999, and has declined since.
Patterson says a different population of high school students is now taking the ACT along with the Scholastic Assessment Test I, after being encouraged by their high school counselors to take both tests. Since schools use test scores as a "campus report card," Patterson says students receive more pressure to take these tests.
In addition to the increased number of students taking the ACT, "we've also seen a push to get more first-generation students to go to college, " Patterson says.
"Many of these students are from lower income brackets, and we have seen a correlation between high socioeconomic status and high test scores," she says.
ACT's findings suggest that many high school teachers are not incorporating higher-level reading materials -- the types of texts that students will encounter in college and in the workforce -- into their classes. It recommends that all states add higher-level reading skills into state education standards.
Patterson says Texas already focuses on higher-level reading skills through the state-mandated Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) test, which all students must pass to graduate from high school.
"The TAKS test has a reading comprehension portion to it. It's a fairly sophisticated test, compared to tests we have used in the past," she says.
Patterson says both educators and leaders in the business community have sought to improve reading education at the elementary school level. A similar effort should be made for older students, she says.
"For the past 10 years, there has been an increase in beginning reading instruction. We need to put more resources into reading at the middle and high school levels," she says.
Patterson also says that President George W. Bush's focus on science and math should not happen at the expense of literacy instruction.
"It's a false dichotomy that reading and writing achievement will support science and math achievement," she says.

Since the dawn of mankind, people have known that God's plan for healthy families and children is for one man and one woman in a committed marital relationship to care for and to protect each other as well as their children. Yes, this doesn't always happen. Yes, single parents raise healthy children, but the fact is, the odds of a child being happy and healthy are greatly magnified when their natural parents are married (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/jun/10/study-children-fare-better-traditional-mom-dad-fam/).
It is less costly to society if a child's natural parents are married. There are many reasons for government to encourage one man and one woman to be married. I believe most citizens believe this is true.
Our legislators who voted to change the age old definition of marriage to include same-sex couples are wrong. Their new legal definition of marriage will open the door to future problems including a push for legal polygamy and persecution of those who disagree. Our children will be taught this is good. Where does it end?

Internalization not complete
There are some strings that haven't been internationalized yet (at least not for the german language). For example grid filtering strings ("Filters", "Enter filter text..." etc.). Will this be fixed in the next release? Is there any way to use my own XMessages.properties local file as a workaround without having to compile GXT?
Edit: I figured out how to override the file as a workaround.

Welcome to The Consumer Party Home Page!
I've been asked on numerous occasions, "Why do we need a Consumer Party?" But the logical question isn't, "WHY DO WE NEED A CONSUMER PARTY?" No, considering the fact that sales/profits are the only "votes" the 1% WILL listen to…the logical question should be "WHY HAVEN'T WE HAD ONE until now?"
Think about it. The purpose of democracy was intended to give informed citizens a say in their own governance. But what if democracy has been so misused and subverted that citizens no longer have access, or direct participation in, the decisions that determine the quality of their lives?
Aren't you tired of waiting every four years to have your voice heard – only to find you have no voice at all? I know I am.
Citizens everywhere are tired of corporations turning our beautiful planet (upon which we solely depend) into a giant, toxic, dumping-ground just to ensure a wider profit margin for the already obscenely rich.
We're tired of not having any recourse against increasing corporate abuses.
Well, now there's an action we can take that moves global citizens from "victims 2 activists" just by doing what we already do…everyday! And it's as simple as going to the market.
The choices we make as consumers have a profound effect on the quarterly profits of a corporation. Ralph Nader suggested that even a 2% shift can influence the business decisions and strategies of Ceos and company shareholders. Imagine putting into effect a global boycott that sends profit-obsessed shareholders scrambling to find customer-demanded, environmental-friendly solutions to a consumer complaint in a desperate bid to restore their quickly-dwindling profit margins. A small drop in profits can even set off a panic-driven selling frenzy on Wall Street.
Now, THAT'S political power!!
Isn't that a much stronger position to take than just sitting around waiting for the fulfillment of casually tossed-off campaign promises? Promises espoused by corporate-funded candidates whose only job is to serve the billionaire-interests of those who put them in office in the first place? Do you really think candidates vetted for a race that requires over 2 billion dollars to win is going to serve the people?
In today's global market the mandate of a corporate-funded politician is to deregulate domestic and foreign markets, crush labor and to look the other way when it comes to public safety, quality control and the wholesale devastation of our planet.
Why is that? Because Profit Comes From Somewhere! It comes from exploitation. It comes from downward economic pressure on the working class and the systematic enslavement and domination of underdeveloped nations. It's a Zero Sum game, folks! And it's fixed!
Question: When do the rich get richer? Answer: When the poor get poorer!
Crunching Numbers always directly translates to Crushing People. It's sort of the "Dirty Little Secret of Capitalism".
But the good news is there's a flaw in that system. And that flaw is this: billionaire wealth depends on our co-operation. It depends on customers…without consumer dollars a corporation will fail.
What if we turn the tables on the rich? What if we throw them back into the Shark Tank? What if we stop buying certain products en masse…products manufactured by corporations who oppress workers or endanger our eco-system?
What if we, then, turn around and purchase products from companies that incorporate new technologies, that not only protect the planet, but nourish and replenish her sadly ravaged resources? (I'm not talking about the "green wash" products that punish eco-concerned citizens with exorbitant prices. We're better off learning how to make those products ourselves.)
Governments may refuse to prosecute fraud-committing, Ponzi-scheme promoting, white-collar financial criminals…but we can still, as consumers, exact some sort of social justice by organizing Direct Impact actions on global markets.
Organized Consumerism is the future of politics…because sales are the only "votes" the 1% responds to.

I have two GFCI questions: 1. My home currently has no GFCI protection, is it better to replace individual receptalces with GFCI receptalces where necessary or would it be better to have GFCI breakers installed to cover the areas of concern (bathrooms, kitchen, garage, etc.)?
2. If I wire individual GFCI receptacles is the preferred method to wire one up-current outlet and rely on its protection to handle the outlets down-current or should each outlet on the circuit of concern have its own GFCI receptacle installed (i.e. kitchen backsplash area with several outlets). Thanks.
- Forum >
- Electrical & Lighting >
- GFCI Receptacle or GFCI Breaker?
You can probably buy 5 or 6 GFI receptacles for the price of one GFIbreaker. Also, it is much more convienient to reset a recaptacle versus going to the breaker box.
For your second question, if you can install the outlet so that you are not protecting things that don't need protection (like a refridgerator), put in one outlet & let it protect others. If you're not real sure about how the circuit is wired, install a GFI receptacle at each location that GFI protection is called for.
Your reefer should be on a dedicated circuit that is not GFCI protected, you will have problems with a compressor/GFCI mix. I would suggest GFCI breakers, they may be a little more expensive at first but they will last longer than the outlets. Reason being is that they are somewhat protected from elements and wear more so than the cheaper recp counterparts.
I prefer receptacles for resetting convienience. You also have more control over what you are protecting with the gfci which can be a big issue on existing installations. Price wise receptacles are far less expensive. A refrigerator need not be on a dedicated circuit although not bad practice. I have seen no difference between gfci breakers and receptacles as far as longevity goes. If you are a diyer stay out of the panel and go with the receptacles and make sure your connections are TIGHT.

Hey everyone, I'm new on here so I don't know if this is where I'm supposed to post this, but I've finished EV training my team to lv.100 now and I'm planning on training more. I was thinking about Shuckle and Blissey, because my team at the moment is mostly about power and buffing stats, rather than supporting and inflicting status' moves like Toxic.

Virginia Payday Loan Regulations
Payday loans have the following regulations as laid forth by the Commonwealth of Virginia. It is important for the lender to be aware of these regulations to avoid fines, license suspension, and up to license revocation.
Borrowers need to be aware of their rights under these same regulations, so that they can protect themselves from undue financial harm.
Requirements for Licensees
- Licensees must have at least $25,000 in liquid assets per location
- Licensees must keep documentation for a borrower's pay cycle. This documentation may be a written loan application, or a copy of a borrower's pay stub (or similar documentation) that demonstrates the pay cycle.
- Electronic debits of any kind are not allowed, such as the Automated Clearing House network.
- The amount of the check given by a borrower to a licensee as security for a payday loan cannot exceed the sum of the principal, interest, and fees of the payday loan
- It is illegal to make a payday loan to a member of the US military, their spouse, or other dependent.
- Licensees are subject to annual fees and reporting.
- Requests for information from the bureau must be returned within 30 days of the request
Borrowers' Rights
- Borrowers can cancel a loan, by end of the next business day after a loan is obtained, without being subject to any fees or interest.
- Borrowers have the right to prepay their loan in full. The interest accrued will be calculated at a pro-rata rate.
- Borrowers may prepay in increments of $5 or more, without charge. Unless prepaid in full, the payment schedule, interest charges, and any fees will not be changed.
These are only some regulations of payday loans in Virginia. Those listed are intended to highlight some of the more important rules and rights, for licensees and borrowers, respectively. For more information and full regulation, please visit: http://www.scc.virginia.gov/bfi/reg_inst/pay.aspx.

NEW YORK -- The Penn Club of New York has named Dr. Claire M. Fagin as the 2012 honoree for the Guggenheim Honor Cup. This prestigious award will be presented at a dinner to be held on November 29, 2012, at the Penn Club of New York in midtown Manhattan.
The dinner marks the revival of an age-old tradition of The Penn Club which began in 1911 with the first silver cup which was donated by William Guggenheim. The Guggenheim Honor Cup is inscribed no more than once per year with the name of an alumnus who had "honored the University most by notable success in any walk of life." Each honoree was celebrated over dinner at the New York City Club with speeches, presentations, and a display of the silver Honor Cup.
"By any measure, Claire Fagin is a trailblazer, and Penn is proud of her many achievements and successes," said Penn President Amy Gutmann. "This honor is also a wonderful recognition of Claire's tremendous contributions to the opening of the Penn Club of New York in 1994 while serving as Interim Penn President."
Dr. Fagin served as Dean of the School of Nursing at the University of Pennsylvania from 1977 to 1992. Throughout her career Dr. Fagin has been involved in leading thinking and practice in nurse education, nursing and health policy, geriatric nursing, program leadership and administration. In 1993 she was named Interim President of the University of Pennsylvania (from July 1, 1993 to June 30, 1994), the first woman to serve in that capacity with any Ivy League university. She continued to focus on geriatric nursing after returning to the professoriate in 1994 and has done so ever since. She is Leadership Professor Emerita, Dean Emerita at the University of Pennsylvania and has received 15 honorary doctoral degrees as well as the prestigious Honorary Recognition Award of the American Nurses Association. On November 30, 2006, the nursing education building at the University of Pennsylvania was renamed as Claire M. Fagin Hall.
"We are very excited to honor Dr. Fagin," said Susan Marx, the President of the Penn Club of New York. "Her lifetime contributions not only to Penn and The Penn Club but also in the nursing and healthcare arena, have been more than notable."
The first recipient of the Guggenheim Honor Club in 1911 was Dr. Charles Custis Harrison, Provost of the University in 1894-1910. The original silver cup was inscribed with 37 names until it was fully covered in 1955. The final recipient of the original Cup was Bernard F. Gimbel. The Cup was then displayed prominently in Houston Hall. In 1956, the new cup was renamed the Benjamin Franklin Honor Cup. There is little record of this cup except that the in its first year, the recipient was Dr. Solomon S. Huebner. The latest and current Guggenheim Honor Cup was created for the opening of the Penn Club of New York at 30 West 44th Street in 1994. The first recipient on the newest silver Cup, Alvin S. Shoemaker, was presented the Cup by Dr. Judith Rodin, the incoming Penn President.
The Penn Club of New York is a not-for-profit 501(c)(7) private social club for alumni, staff, faculty and students over age 21 of The University of Pennsylvania and its affiliates. The Penn Club is ranked among the nation's top 10 private city clubs and has been awarded the Platinum Club of America for four consecutive terms. The award identifies the Club as a 5-star private club. Located in midtown Manhattan, it is a convenient location for members to network and forward their social and professional interests. The Club with about 5,000 members organizes many events to help members meet each other through happy hours, networking events, panel discussions, book groups, workshops and more. The clubhouse building offers the convenience of 5-star services including overnight accommodations, fitness center, massage room, business center, restaurants, and banquet and meeting rooms.

On Tuesday morning, New London Mayor Daryl Finizio posted an announcement on his official Facebook page that the city's transfer station, which has been closed since a city resident was killed in a compactor accident Jan. 30, would reopen today.
Floyd Smeeton, a much-respected city resident, a widower who lived for many years on Borodell Place, was killed after apparently falling into the transfer station compactor hopper while unloading trash.
Several people familiar with the incident told me recently that the control room at the compactor, which has glass windows overlooking the machine, was not manned at the time of the accident.
People who first saw the fallen Smeeton in harm's way, after finding no one in the control room to stop the machine, ran some distance to a nearby transfer station office to get help, according to people familiar with what happened.
By the time transfer station employees arrived back at the compactor controls, to turn off the trash-crushing machine, it was too late, the sources say.
Residents who use the transfer station regularly also have said it was not uncommon in the past to find the trash compactor running unattended, the access gates left open.
So when I reached the mayor Tuesday, after his transfer station reopening announcement was posted, I expected him to be able to report what changes in equipment or protocol have been made to make it safe.
Incredibly, the mayor said he didn't know.
He said he only knows that state investigators and the city's public works department have decided it is OK to reopen.
Wasn't he even a little curious, I asked, to know what has changed in almost two weeks, since a city resident was killed after falling in the machine, to make the area safe?
Apparently not.
Finizio told me two investigations are underway, one by the agency that provides municipal liability insurance coverage, and another by the state Labor Department, which investigates accidents at municipal work sites.
A third investigation, by the city's police department, has concluded there was no foul play in Smeeton's death, the mayor said.
But what about criminal negligence, which can be defined as allowing avoidable dangers to manifest?
The mayor emphasized that he awaits the outcome of the outside investigations and said he has ordered everyone who works for the city to cooperate with them.
But he said he knows of no investigations by the city itself to find out what went wrong.
It is remarkable to me to think that someone dies on your watch and you don't make any effort to independently get to the bottom of what happened and find out if someone who works for the city might bear some responsibility, whether changes need to be made.
Even though the Labor Department is investigating, a probe that could take up to a month, according to a department spokesman, there is certainly nothing to prevent the mayor from asking his own questions.
I know he's busy. But this is important. Lawsuits are certainly coming.
I also spoke Wednesday to the director of the agency that insures New London and other Connecticut municipalities. He said they are indeed reviewing the accident the way any insurance company would look into a claim, but he said they are certainly not planning to make conclusions or recommendations about the way the transfer station is run.
That's the mayor's responsibility - one he seems to be ducking.
I thought Public Works Director Tim Hanser would know what happened to cause Floyd Smeeton's death, but he said he, too, is awaiting the results of the state investigation.
He said he doesn't know whether anyone was in the compactor control room when Smeeton died, or whether protocol calls for someone to be manning the controls.
More incredible, he said he is not sure if anyone will be at the controls today when the station reopens. He said he has been busy the last few days and the transfer station supervisor has been handling those details.
The only changes he knows of, Hanser said, is that Jersey barriers have been erected so that station employees, not the public, will load the compactor.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the public works director, like the mayor, doesn't know what happened to Floyd Smeeton and has not made any effort to find out.
This is the person responsible for a simple heating system leak that has remarkably filled City Hall with steam for the winter.

Properties, which have long been used for reasoning about systems, are sets of traces. Hyperproperties, introduced here, are sets of properties. Hyperproperties can express security policies, such as secure information flow and service level agreements, that properties cannot. Safety and liveness are generalized to hyperproperties, and every hyperproperty is shown to be the intersection of a safety hyperproperty and a liveness hyperproperty. A verification technique for safety hyperproperties is given and is shown to generalize prior techniques for verifying secure information flow. Refinement is shown to be applicable with safety hyperproperties. A topological characterization of hyperproperties is given.
