Update Mai the 12 2015
Travelgrove TeamLaxmi Dhakal, an official of the Nepalese Home Ministry confirmed that 42 people were killed (the most in Kathmandu and Dolakha) and at least 1,117 injured in the magnitude 7.3 earthquake.
Kathmandu international airport was closed for half an hour.
Due to the former earthquakes are still many rescue teams and aid worker in the region, maybe this time the rescue work will be much more effective.
Because of the two recent earthquakes that shattered the country recently, it is not safe to visit Nepal's affected regions at the moment. Only rescue teams, doctors and volunteers travel there at the moment. The first quake killed over 8,000 people and destroyed hundreds of thousands of buildings and there are no exact dates about the devastation caused by the second one. Camp Everest was closed after the first earthquake killed 18 climbers and all expeditions for the following months were suspended. If you had Nepal on your destination list, you should postpone your journey until the country is stable and recovered.

Electrical Properties of Pb0.92La0.08Zr0.52Ti0.48O3 Thin Films Grown on SrRuO3 Buffered Nickel and Silicon Substrates by Chemical Solution Deposition
Ferroelectric film-on-foil capacitors are suitable to replace discrete passive components in the quest to develop electronic devices that show superior performance and are smaller in size. The film-on-foil approach is the most practical method to fabricate such components. Films of Pb0.92La0.08Zr0.52Ti0.48O3 (PLZT) were deposited on SrRuO3 (SRO) buffer films over nickel and silicon substrates. High-quality polycrystalline SRO thin-film electrodes were first deposited by chemical solution deposition. A phase pure, dense, uniform microstructure with grain size <100 nm was obtained in films crystallized at 700°C. The room-temperature resistivity of the SRO films crystallized at 700°C was ~800–900 μΩ-cm. The dielectric properties of sol–gel derived PLZT capacitors on SRO-buffered nickel were evaluated as a function of temperature, bias field, and frequency, and the results were compared to those of the same films on silicon substrates. The comparison demonstrated the integrity of the buffer layer and its compatibility with nickel substrates. Device-quality dielectric properties were measured on PLZT films deposited on SRO-buffered nickel foils and found to be superior to those for PLZT on SRO-buffered silicon and expensive platinized silicon. These results suggest that SRO films can act as an effective barrier layer on nickel substrates suitable for embedded capacitor applications.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

AMD Announces SeaMicro SM15000 Server Citrix Ready
AMD today announced that Citrix Systems, Inc. has verified the new AMD SeaMicro SM15000-XE micro server as Citrix Ready to run Citrix XenServer 6, a complete managed server virtualization technology that enables companies to cost-effectively consolidate servers and ensure business continuity.
Citrix Ready is a product verification program that demonstrates compatibility with Citrix Application Delivery Infrastructure. AMD completed a rigorous process to ensure compatibility with the industry-leading XenServer platform, which is widely acknowledged as one of the fastest and secure server virtualization products in the industry.
"Data center virtualization is expected to accelerate, and we have worked closely with Citrix to ensure that our customers can now effectively and efficiently deploy an integrated Citrix-AMD solution," said Andrew Feldman, general manager and corporate vice president of the Data Center Server Solutions group, AMD. "The combination of Citrix XenServer and the highest density, most power efficient SeaMicro server is a winning combination that takes data center efficiency and management to the next level of performance."
AMD's SeaMicro SM15000 is the highest-density, most energy-efficient data center platform. It combines compute, networking, and storage in a single ten rack unit system all linked by a high performance supercompute fabric that creates a hyper-efficient system by enabling common components to be shared. AMD's differentiated technology allows the highest performance, compute and storage density as well as the most bandwidth per unit compute of any micro server.
In addition, the recently announced AMD SeaMicro SM15000 server extends the patented Freedom Fabric beyond the SeaMicro chassis to connect directly to massive disk arrays, enabling a single ten rack unit system to support more than five petabytes of low cost, easy-to-install storage. The Freedom Fabric ASIC contains three key patented technologies:
- SeaMicro's Input/Output (I/O) Virtualization Technology eliminates all but three components from SeaMicro's motherboard -- CPU, DRAM, and the ASIC itself -- thereby shrinking the motherboard, helping to reduce power, cost and space;
- SeaMicro's TIO (Turn It Off) technology enables SeaMicro to further power-optimize the motherboard by consolidating functionality and turning off unneeded CPU and chipset functions. Together, SeaMicro's I/O Virtualization Technology and TIO technology produce small and power-efficient motherboards;
- The Freedom Supercompute Fabric ties these small, power-efficient motherboards together with an industry leading 1.28 terabits-per-second of bandwidth. The Freedom Supercompute Fabric is built of multiple Freedom ASICs working together to create a multi-dimensional torus -- delivering a low latency, massive bandwidth fabric with exceptionally low power draw.

In reply to JackSparrow07 • Nov 7, 2012
i am also stuck in the same quagmire.
i am intending to purchase, and the very same two models are making my life miserable.
the hx200v seems to have more features (bells and whistles) but the p510 is not bad either.
also, the difference in megapixel count is very small.
can some guru please come and help us?

This invention relates to a gel-forming composition and more particularly to a one-package, gel-forming, dry-mix composition which rapidly form a gel having a texture which is equally as preferred as conventional gelatin dessert gels.
Gelatin dessert gels are well-known and highly regarded by consumers. However, as crystalline gelatin is not soluble in cold water, recipes for making gelatin gels call for dissolution of the gelatin in boiling water. The gelatin solution must then be cooled to below about 70� F. (21.1� C.) in order to effect gelation. Typically about a two-hour period is necessary in order to produce gelatin desserts. There has long been a desire to provide a gelatin dessert in quick-gel form. Such a product would not have to be prepared hours in advance of consumption, but could be made ready for consumption within minutes. The prior art has disclosed methods for producing cold-water soluble gelatin; however, the length of time needed to set the gel is still in the one to two hour range.
Pectin has been the basis of many attempts to provide cold water-soluble, quick-set dessert gels. Low-methoxyl (LM) pectins have the property of quickly forming gels in water solution upon the addition of a calcium salt or salts of other metals of the alkaline earth series. However, if a mixture of LM pectin and soluble calcium salt is added directly to cold water, gelation will be initiated before the LM pectin has fully dissolved. Such partial or premature gelling prevents further dissolution of the pectin material and results in a mushy or soupy mass as an end product.
Attempts have been made to overcome the problem of too rapid setting of LM pectin gels by means of a two-package system wherein the pectin would first be fully dissolved before addition of calcium salt. Such efforts have not been commercially successful because of the inconveniences involved in the use of separated reactants and/or inferior textures. Other attempts have sought to physically retard the solution of the calcium salt such as by coating the salt with a vegetable or artificial gum or by the use of heat-treated anhydrous mono-calcium phosphate. Methods for increasing the solubility of LM pectin in cold water to approach that of the calcium salt, such as by co-drying the pectin with sugars, have also been attempted. These and other efforts at producing one-package, quick-set gels based on LM-pectin are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,559,338 to Barch, 2,673,757 to Shepard et al., 2,701,767 to Twieg et al. 2,809,894 to Poarch et al., and 4,268,533 to Williams et al. None of these techniques have, however, been able to offer a one-package, quick-set gel which has a texture as desirable as the highly-regarded and accepted texture of gelatin gels.
Attempts have also been made at producing dessert gels from carrageenans (e.g., kappa-carrageenan) that gel at room temperature in the presence of potassium ions; however, the resulting gel texture is quite inferior to that of gelatin gels. Sodium alginate has also been suggested for use in forming dessert gels.
The present invention describes a dry mix for producing a quick-set alginate gel which has a texture as desirable in mouthfeel to gelatin gels. The mix is comprised of agglomerates of sodium or potassium alginate powder (100% through No. 230 U.S. mesh sieve, with a mean particle diameter of 10 to 60 microns), agglomerates of slowly soluble calcium salts (e.g., calcium citrate, carbonate, phosphate, sulfate and/or tartrate), food acid, buffering agent and sweetening agent. The sweetening agent including sugars, water-soluble hydrolyzed starch solids and/or intensive sweeteners such as aspartame, asulfame-K, sucralose, saccharine , dihydrochalcone, cyclamate and the like.
As used herein all percentages are by weight unless specifically stated otherwise.
Sodium or potassium alginate is ground and sieved as needed to obtain a fraction which is 100% minus 200 U.S. mesh, preferably 100% minus 230 U.S. mesh and having an average mean particle sizes diameter of from 10 to 60 microns, preferably about 30 microns. It has been found that these small-sized particles aid in producing a smooth texture in the prepared dessert gel. This alginate powder is then agglomerated to ensure dispersibility of the fine alginate particles which, in the absence of agglomeration, would clump on contact with water. Agglomeration will be effected using an aqueous agglomerating fluid which may be water or water with a minor (e.g., up to 20%, preferably up to 10%) amount of an agglomerating aid, such as triacatin, or other surface active dispersing aids.
Agglomeration of the alginate powder may be effected utilizing standard equipment and methodology such as by batch or continuous fluid bed agglomeration or continuous co-current or countercurrent tower agglomeration. The alginate agglomerates are sieved to scalp off over-sized clusters which would be slow to dissolve to obtain a fraction with 100% being minus 16 U.S. mesh, preferably 100% minus 20 U.S. mesh and with no more than 50% passing through a 170 U.S. mesh sieve, preferably with no more than 50% passing through a 140 U.S. mesh sieve. Undersized particles out of the agglomerator may be recycled and oversized particles may be ground to proper size. The alginate powder may be co-agglomerated with another of the gel mix ingredients, such as sugar and/or dextrin, but this typically will not be done as there is not a need to incur this increased processing cost.
The slowly water-soluble calcium salt, such as calcium sulfate is also agglomerated either per se or with up to 90% of a water-soluble, carbohydrate filler such as maltodextrin and/or sugars. Calcium salt agglomeration can be facilitated by utilizing aqueous agglomerating fluids as described above or utilizing straight water with no surfactant and can be effected by means of conventional agglomeration techniques also as described above. Agglomeration of the calcium salt is desired in order to slow dissolution of calcium during preparation of the dessert so that most of the alginate is dispersed and dissolved prior to significant build-up of calcium ion concentration. To protect against the effects of hard water which is present in many households and which may contain up to and in excess of 400 p.p.m. total hardness (i.e., a combination of dissolved calcium and magnesium), the dessert gel mix of this invention will contain a buffering agent which includes a monovalent cation, such as trisodium citrate. Other suitable buffers would be sodium and potassium phosphates, sodium and potassium acetates, tartrates, malates, fumarates, adipates and ascorbates and potassium citrate.
The dessert gel mix of the present invention will also contain-sweetening agents, food acids, flavors and colors. Preferably a anti-oxidant, such as ascorbic acid, erythorbic acid or tocopherols, such as vitamin E, is also included to further increase clarity of the prepared dessert gel.
It will also be desirable to maintain the level of soluble solids in the dessert gel to at a relatively low level in order to increase clarity of the prepared dessert gel. This feature is due to the finding that as the solids level increases in the dessert gel more air is forced of solution and this undissolved air detracts from the clarity of the gel. Obviously this problem is most apparent in full sugar versions (i.e., no intensive sweetener present) of the dessert mix. Sugar solids can however be reduced by substituting fructose for a portion of the sucrose. Sucrose will normally be utilized to provide at least a portion of the sweetness in any sugar-containing gel mix of this invention. To aid in the dispersibility of the mix a portion (e.g., 5 to 60%) of the sucrose may be in powdered form with the remainder being granulated.
The acid component is employed to give the desirable sour taste and pH of conventional fruit-flavored dessert gels. Acids such as citric, adipic, fumaric, malic and/or tartaric may be employed. The amount of acid employed is sufficient to give a final pH in the prepared dessert gel of between 3.5 and 5.5, preferably between about 4.2 and 4.8.
The following formulations represent the dry mix compositions of this invention and are set forth in three variants of full-sugar, reduced-sugar and sugar-free, each with a broad range and a preferred range.

The dry dessert mixes of this invention are able to produce a dessert gel within about 20 minutes or less. Formulas which can produce gels within as little as five minutes are possible. Preparation is a simple matter of combining the dry mix with water. Cold tap water is preferred as colder water will retard dissolution of the calcium salt resulting in gels of improved texture. However, water temperature can range from 32� to 80� F. (0� to 26.7� C.). A spoon, fork or wire whisk can be used to dissolve the mix in water. An electric mixer is not needed. Stirring for less than two minutes, typically less than one minute, will suffice to achieve complete dissolution. An alginate will set within 20 minutes either in or out of a refrigerator. Usually, however, the ungelled mixture is placed in a refrigerator to set so that it will be chilled prior to being served. The resulting gel has a texture which is as desirable as gelatin gels.
This invention is further described but not limited by the following examples.
A full-sugar, quick-setting, dessert gel mix was prepared. Potassium alginate was ground and sieved to obtain a fraction of 100% minus 230 U.S. mesh and having a target mean particle diameter of 30 microns. This alginate fraction was agglomerated using a solution of 2.5% triacetin in distilled water. The solution was employed at a level of 1.5 parts triacetin per 100 parts potassium alginate. Agglomeration was conducted in a batch-type, fluid-bed agglomerator, with drying of the agglomerate taking place in the agglomerator. Calcium sulfate was combined with an equal weight of 10DE maltodextrin and the mixture was agglomerated as above, but using only distilled water. Agglomerates larger than 14 U.S. mesh were removed for regrinding. The dry mix was prepared in a ribbon blender by combining the following ingredients:
______________________________________Ingredient Parts By Weight______________________________________Granulated Sucrose 49.7Crystalline Fructose 32.8Powdered Sucrose 5.0Agglomerated Potassium Alginate 3.7Adipic Acid 2.8Ascorbic Acid 0.6Trisodium Citrate, Dihydrate 2.8Agglomerated Calcium Sulfate/Maltodextrin 1.0Flavor/Color 0.4______________________________________
98.8 grams of this mix was added to 2 cups (474 ml) of cold tap water, stirred with a spoon for about 50 seconds, poured in four 4-ounce cups and refrigerated for 15 to 20 minutes. The resulting gel was judged by a sample of 470 consumers as being equally preferred to like flavored commercial gelatin dessert gels.
A reduced-sugar, quick-setting, powdered dessert gel mix was prepared as in Example 1 by combining the following ingredients:
______________________________________Ingredient Parts By Weight______________________________________Granulated Sucrose 35.0Powdered Sucrose 5.0Agglomerated Potassium Alginate 3.6(per Example 1)Adipic Acid 3.0Tri-Sodium Citrate, Dihydrate 2.8Agglomerated Calcium Sulfate/Maltodextrin 0.9(per Example 1)Ascorbic Acid 0.25Aspartame 0.14Ascesulfame-K 0.05Flavor/Color 0.4______________________________________
51.14 grams of the mix was prepared as a gelled dessert as in Example 1. The resulting gel was judged by a ten-member taste panel as being close to that of Example 1 in terms of taste/texture and in addition was judged as being somewhat clearer.
A sugar-free, quick-setting, powdered dessert gel mix was prepared as in Example 1 by combining the following ingredients:
______________________________________Ingredient Parts By Weight______________________________________10DE Maltodextrin 24.0Agglomerated Potassium Alginate 3.5(per Example 1)Adipic Acid 3.0Tri-Sodium Citrate, Dehydrate 2.8Agglomerated Calcium Sulfate/Maltodextrin 0.9(per Example 1)Ascorbic Acid 0.15Aspartame 0.28Ascesulfame-K 0.09Flavor/Color 0.4______________________________________
35.12 grams of this mix was prepared as a gelled dessert as in Example 1. The resulting gel was judged by a ten-member taste panel as being close to Example 1 in terms of taste/texture and was also noted as being very clear.

My nearby neighbors have had lots of work done on their dwelling, and recently, had to restore their HVAC unit. It is mostly a big expense, and unfortunately, they decided on a contractor who wasn't a stellar entrepreneur. The unit they purchased ended up being the wrong size for their home, and the inspection didn't proceed well. The unit had been replaced, and the contractor took several days to remove and then reinstall the replacement. He had several workers employed by him, but sometimes they just didn't show up for work. When the 2nd new unit finally arrived, it was almost a week before the contractor could secure a whole day to work on the installation. During almost the entire work time, my neighbors had to stay with family and friends since the temperatures were too hot for them and their small children. There is also 2 dogs, which furthered the problematic matters. The dogs had to remain kenneled since the homes that they were staying in didn't have the right amount of room. They told me they wished to make this contractor pay for all your extra expenses, but I think should the work finally get done, they just wished to stay as far away from him as it can be. It was then they ultimately did some research and discovered he previously had many complaints against him not only from customers, but from other businesses to boot. He was famous for not delivering on his promises and taking much too long to complete his work opportunities. Well, they learned a hard lesson, and were eager to tell me how you must not hire an HVAC contractor without very thoroughly checking them out and getting references from their past customers.
A/C equipment that can change your life
I've been attending my church since I was a kid and my family loves being here. With my family while I was little, the building seemed so massive. Now that I am older it isn't really that big. Our church is an important church with a small chapel feel. Our pastor knows every household by face and some details but maybe not all by name. When the pastor doesn't know your name then he just calls you "buddy". Over the years, the church building we come to gets more ancient and needs more attention. The driveways outside of our church are rising; the bathrooms are outdated and the HVAC unit works in summer months but not the winter period. Last Saturday, I walked into church shivering from it being way too cold. The vent above my head hasn't been producing any heat. There has not been a heater in sight in a while and the HVAC vents looked wide open. The heating and cooling system had been having problems for about some consecutive years and we keep trying to raise money to get it replaced even though the process was slow. The cooling system worked perfect nevertheless the heat did not. Long past, we used to have furnaces and additionally space heaters. This system has been actually an upgrade. By the end of the winter one of the many members renovated our building in addition to including heated floors, solar panels on the roof and had a new HVAC system installed with the already existing unit. The process took about a week to get everything available and the congregation was especially thankful for his generosity. Now I don't have to sit in service with this chills.
This is how you keep your home comfortable
I never had what people call a green thumb. I have never been good at nurturing plants in a way that would keep them alive. They seem to die for no reason at all sometimes. Other times I find myself doing everything wrong to get these plants to grow and be healthy. I don't water them enough, or I water them an excessive amount. One time my plants, almost like magic, contracted a parasite that killed all of them. I always wind up disappointed right after they die, but I still push forward and keep trying. One of my most current problems with my plants is how cold it truly is in my apartment in the cold winter months. I keep my furnace on a low running level on purpose because I love the cold. It isn't a popular viewpoint to like your house at a cooler temperature, but I genuinely do. My plants on the other hand do not approve of this. I didn't realize it at first, but there are lots of plants that need to live in an specific temperature to thrive. I figured I had to decide if I wanted my plants to perform well or if I wanted to run my HVAC the way i wanted it. It wasn't so cold within my apartment for it too kill each kind of plant so I ran out and bought heartier plants. One must always be able to run a person's HVAC system the way they desire. For some people it is important to be able to keep their furnace running high so as to feel warm all the time. For other people it is important to just keep the furnace low.
Running the cooling equipment
We have been experiencing hotter than normal days for the past two weeks. Everyone is grouchy and not just sleeping well. My husband and I barely exchange words each morning and try and find quiet things to do in the evening as best we know how. We are only comfortable once we are down in the basement. The air is much cooler there and we are able to relax more. The reason for our foul moods is that we have a broken air conditioner. The coils began developing a slight layer of frost with them and that graduated to them completely being frozen. We should have called a technician when it happened, but decided that a couple of days would not make a significant difference. Well, we are now dealing with the consequences of this very poor choice. It seems that the coolant in our system was surprisingly low. This caused a pressure drop and eventually the coils completely froze. We now are facing a costly repair and must save up some money to have it done. The old saying of penny wise but pound foolish definitely applies to this case. My husband decided that going a few days without the repair was fine and that it could wait. This mistake costs us our entire system that now has to be replaced. Sometimes in life we just need to buckle down and get things done. Priorities are important and postponing until tomorrow sometimes costs more overall. This cost can come as a monetary one or a time wasted one. I know that down the road if I think something seems to be wrong with my HVAC system I will call right away. It may save significant money overall for sure.
A/C unit tune-ups
My son was in marching band and at the time we both hated it. My son hates it for the reason that make him wear a dumb outfit and march in parades. They have to wear a blue cape, long black pants in addition to a cowboy hat. Not only may be the outfit cruel and unusual for boy middle schoolers, it is also hot. I do not fault him for despising the attire. The parades make him even more miserable because he walks through town dressed stupid. I hate going to the parades because I basically sweat to death the main time. I drive my son to the starting point, walk to the midst of the town to see my son march, and then drive onto the end point. The parades are always over the hottest days of the 12 months too. My son additionally plays the drums which is like the heaviest instrument. By the end of the parade the two of us are both hot and exhausted. I feel bad for my boy marching and carrying that piece of equipment. At least I get several minutes of relief. I get to drive an automobile to that I can crank up the A/C on the car. I ensure it is as cold and possible so he will soak up the last with the cool air. Then when I drive towards the end point I am able to feel the sweet air conditioning once again. Honestly that is the thing I look ahead to the most during the march. I count down the minutes until I can enjoy my cooling system. I bet my son does exactly the same thing.
Air conditioning equipment
I have always been really hot tempered and due to this, I do not do home repairs. My wife learned early on that it is best to hire a professional. I had to install dry wall one day and I ended up being the person who was throwing the drywall out the window. I damaged the element and continued working. I subsequently realized I was one bit short for my project. I then had to use the torn piece I threw out our window. I tried repairing our garage doors last summer plus it was not working. I ended taking my golf wedge and smashing the door. I ruined the door and broke my wedge. It was eventually an expensive repair. When my spouse bought a ductless mini split unit, I knew what I had to do. She told me that I should do the install on the cooling unit by myself. She told me all I had to was drill a couple holes, feed refrigerant tubes and writing, then I was done. I knew something would go awry in the project. A pipe wouldn't go or the writing would get tangled. I would get mad and then throw the expensive unit. I made the decision to not attempt the cooling installation. I called my local HVAC technician to undertake an air conditioner installation. It was the best decision of my life. The HVAC specialist installed it inside an hour. It was pretty cheap along with being installed correctly. I did not need to feel mad, I was able to relax and have the unit installed.
Make your air conditioner more efficient!
Consider that college apartment you had. There's dishes from tons of different take-out restaurants in the sink. Empty beer cans and bottles riddle the portions of the floor that isn't covered in a layer of grime. A half eaten pizza sits on your homework that was due yesterday. There's someone asleep within the bathtub, and you didn't need a bathtub yesterday morning. Unlucky on your behalf, the only thing in the main apartment that is barely recognizable through all of this disaster, is the note your friend wrote in sharpie pen over the wall about the air conditioner appearing broken. As you sit there trying to recall the conversation the pair of you must have had, the beads of sweat commence to trickle down your neck. You need an air conditioner repair service, and you need it this instant. Now is not the time for you to have to call around for whatever company picks up the phone first. Don't wait until the last minute to find the heating and air cooling specialist that fits your unique needs, your busy schedule, plus your tight budget. In an urgent situation, you want someone you are able to trust, to handle your heating and air cooling needs. One of the best strategies to maintain your HVAC unit can be having it serviced yearly, with a professional HVAC business. This is especially helpful in climates that are generally sweltering hot or bitterly frosty. With regular maintenance, your heating in addition to cooling specialist can detect major problems before they happen, and care for minor issues right away. While using the right HVAC provider, you can avoid nightmares similar to this devastating scenario, from happening down the road.
Commercial heating and cooling
As I started college, I thought it would become the best time of my entire life. I no longer had to live at home with my parents. Instead, I could be living in the on campus dormitories. I stumbled upon a great roommate who immediately became a superb friend. I was even excited to get started on going to class and start working out what I wanted to be while I grew up. Well after the pioneer full week of classes, I was start to understand why my older sister hated college. Most of our classes were boring, the instructors were moody, and my college peers were jerks. There was one class which has been worst than the rest. Among the list of other students in this category was so obnoxious. He was constantly complaining about how hot the classroom was and how he cannot concentrate on the daily quizzes our professor gave us. He would tell the professor he would contact the maintenance department himself and complain about the classroom's HVAC system if the professor did not take care of it. The professor did not seem to care about this student and rarely replied to his rants. However, everyday without fail, this student would moan for the heating system and how this individual was unable to learn in this humid environment. I just could not believe how awful my peer was behaving. He was throwing a temper tantrum like my own little neighbor's kid back home, over a particular HVAC system! I was happy when that class ended, I only hoped that I might not have to be in contact with that awful guy again.
I really hope this air conditioner works right
My father and I have ran an office through the city for many years now. I started working for my dad fresh out of law school. When I joined the firm there was only seven attorneys. Now, I am one of a few partners here at the firm and there are 30 other attorneys employed for us. Our business is very prosperous. We are known as the most effective law firms here in the neighborhood. I like to take care of a lot of things in the office, especially since I am the youngest attorney here. So when it comes to the small things, like Wi-Fi cable as well as small repairs, I take care of nearly anything and everything. Just two months ago we started having a great deal of air-conditioning problems. One day the air conditioning would be working and in the next day it would not. We are having a whole lot of issues with our air-conditioning system, then I took into my own hands to call the neighborhood HVAC business. The company was just downtown from our office so it was subsequently a very convenient appointment for the company, and for us. They came over and had the air conditioning repairs done within some hours. Luckily it was nothing major, just a few nuts and bolts that must be tightened, and also the system just would have to be cleaned overall. Now that those minor repairs are made to our air-conditioning system, things have been running smoother than in the past. We really lucked out and thus we did not need a fully new air-conditioning system. That would have been a cost that our company would not have been expecting. Although, I know the air conditioning is important to these attorneys, so I'm sure they would frequently have splurged for a superb AC system.
Heater service information
I have already been a waitress for about eighteen months now. I like my present-day job, for the most part. I am really getting the hang of my job and earning great tips. A lot of the customers are very nice. There are many regulars who come eat with the restaurant frequently. Some of these regulars, however, are extremely fastidious about their food and concerning which table they sit at. The other night, an older couple in which are regulars came in to have lunch. They sat down at their favorite table and complained that there seems to be a draft blowing in through the window and that the heating was usually lovely inside of this restaurant. They moved to another table and said that it wasn't any better. My manager informed me that there was clearly an unsolved problem with the central heating and that it wasn't working a hundred percent efficiently that day. I passed on the message to the customers however they still seemed really upset. I apologized a few times, but that was all I could do. I am just some sort of waitress; there's not much I will do to fix the heat. I tried to serve them well, pouring their wine perfectly and acting as friendly as I could. It seems like some people are never happy whatever you give them. We even gave them a dessert over the house, but I could overhear them complaining about the possible lack of heating throughout their entire food. I hope, for the waitstaff's welfare, that the central heating is repaired before the very next time that couple comes into that restaurant.

Do you shout at the television? Indulge in lengthy harangues at the radio? I'm afraid I do. Increasingly so, given that it's an election year and there's a growing number of things to shout at the television about.
OPINION: Time was when I'd have attributed this habit of berating inanimate objects to advancing years. But young people assure me that nowadays they do it, too.
Last Sunday I gave my lungs a good workout during TVNZ's current affairs programme Q+A. Bryce Edwards, the University of Otago's peripatetic commentator on all things political (and compiler of that utterly invaluable compendium of political news and commentary, NZ Politics Daily) was criticising the Greens for attempting to use Green Capitalism to save the planet.
"Awh, jeez, Bryce, give us a break!" I yelled at the offending collection of electronic circuitry, "How many viewers do you suppose are going to hold that against them? And how many extra votes do you reckon they'll attract by decking out Karl Marx in a green suit?"
Later that morning, however, after my blood pressure had returned to normal, I began to think more carefully about Bryce's criticism. By mid- afternoon I'd already half-convinced myself that the young political studies lecturer was right.
If even the Greens aren't prepared to call things by their true names - who is?
Can you really prefix "Green" to the global phenomenon that's pouring more and more carbon dioxide into the Earth's atmosphere?
From Brazil to Indonesia: in all the world's denuded tropical rainforests, what else but capitalism is powering the chainsaws of the tree-fellers?
Could the gaunt and exhausted construction workers recruited from across the Muslim world really distinguish between the capitalism that vomited up their squalid shanty towns and the capitalism that's erecting Dubai's towering "eco-friendly" architecture?
And, much closer to home, can Green Capitalism really displace the cow- cockey capitalism pouring nitrates and phosphates into our waterways? Or the carbon capitalism sinking drill-shafts into our deepest seas?
Green Capitalism? You might as well speak of green cancer. But, if you're looking for alternatives - why not "Man Crusher"? Or, "Earth Eater"?
I'm old enough to remember when the first whispers began to spread about the limits to capitalist growth.
When individuals like Rachel Carson and groups like the Club of Rome first connected the insatiable appetites of industrial capitalism with the gaping rents that were appearing all around the globe in the fragile webs of life we were only just beginning to call ecosystems.
It was around the time when, in the manner of a glittering cosmic cue, the Apollo astronauts began sending back to humankind the first images of its tiny blue planet floating - so beautiful, so vulnerable and so alone - in the infinite reaches of space.
And it was here, in New Zealand, that those whispers first cohered into an audible political voice.
Formed in 1972, the Values Party was the first to openly question the idea that economic growth could be pursued endlessly and without cost.
It was heresy, but it stuck. Tens-of- thousands had just signed the "Save Manapouri" petition. The Labour Party's election ads depicted the environment in an Agee preserving jar!
Tantalisingly close to the surface of the voters' minds, not only in New Zealand but all across the developed world, a realisation of extraordinary power was taking shape. That humanity had reached a crossroads.
Down one road lay something new, something transformative. A new, lighter and less destructive way of being human. Charles Reich called it "The Greening of America". New Zealand Values promised to take us "Beyond Tomorrow".
Down the other road lay more: much more; unbelievably more. Waiting for us was a cornucopia of technological wonders that also offered something new and transformative. A human society increasingly wired to its machines, and those machines becoming more and more human.
But such magic technology could only ever be the distillation of processes fatally destructive of the planet's capacity to maintain ecosystems conducive to human survival.
Capitalism's technological fix, founded upon the shifting sands of cheap energy, finite resources and cheap labour is, ultimately, unsustainable. Its alchemy can only be sustained by cannibalising its own children and heating up the planet's atmosphere.
These are unglad tidings for any political party to bear. Values tried to warn New Zealand about the ultimate cost of capitalism but only succeeded in splitting itself apart. Values' members (and now the Greens') have found it easier to believe in the power of science to resolve all contradictions.
Hence Russel Norman's promise that Green Capitalism, wielding green technology, will rescue us from the twin threats of global warming and critical resource depletion. I suspect he knows this is nonsense. The devil is not defeated by weapons manufactured in Hell.
From the road we've chosen there is no turning.

Around the time of the Golden Age of Greece, when Socrates was laying the groundwork for all Western philosophy, some of the oldest trees living today began their lives as part of a massive grove that dates back to the ice age. The forest once spanned from California to Minnesota, but is now confined to a narrow sliver along the California coast. We did most of the damage -- felling trees for timber and highways -- but its latest threat is climate change.
Humboldt State University professor, Steve Sillet, is monitoring the threat in excruciating detail, using hair-raising methods. His team has selected trees from 16 plots around the state and are measuring the height, width, and lean of the trees and mapping each branch to create detailed 3D images of the trees -- from base to tip, trunk to leaf. It's an ambitious task that can require four days per tree to map. They hang from these giants like window-cleaners, dangling hundreds of feet off the ground, with measuring tape in hand. This project, Sillet argues, will show how the trees, especially the tallest ones, have responded -- and will respond -- to climate change. "Because they're so long lived, we can get a sense of how unusual are these changes now compared to what the trees have experienced over that past thousand to two thousand years."
This is not a rescue mission. "The battle for these redwoods has been fought and mostly lost," says Sillet. When Americans came west during the Gold Rush, two million acres of ancient redwood forest sprawled across the map (Save the Redwoods League). Ninety-five percent of that forest were cut down by loggers who found a high quality wood that could be used to build a mansion out of a single tree. It was also used for pipes, gutters, shingles, boats -- it is hard, water proof, and immune to termites. (From A Natural History of North American Trees.) Despite being hard-wired for longevity, the remaining forest, which has survived drastic changes in climate in the millions of years it has existed, may not survive the rapid climate change we see now.
The tallest trees are particularly vulnerable, according to Sillet (Read more about his research in Humbolt State's magazine). They require vast amounts of water to grow and depend on the warm, moist ecosystem of the area the trees are adapted to. The research has already shown that the trees are actually growing more than they have in the past, probably caused by the increase in carbon dioxide. The future is uncertain for these giants, but we may be witness to the final days of one of the cultural touchstones of the American West and a wonder of the natural world.

Hello all,
We have booked our flights into London and out of Amsterday for me, my wife, and our 10-year old son for mid to end of June.
I'm trying to figure out how to split the trip into those 3 cities and would love your help.
We arrive in LONDON on a MONDAY at 2pm.
We depart AMSTERDAM 2 weeks later on a FRIDAY at 11am.
With our 10-year old, we plan on hitting about one museum per day and only the major attractions. We want to take it easy, not over do it.
My wife and I have both been to Paris.
Current plan is this, but I'd like to know if we should spend less time in London and more in Amsterdam at the end:
Monday: Arrive London around 2pm
Tuesday: London
Wednesday: London
Thursday: London
Friday: Train to Paris mid-day
Saturday: Paris
Sunday: Paris
Monday: Paris
Tuesday: High Speed Train to Amsterdam (about 3.5 hours trip), getting in mid afternoon
Wednesday: Amsterdam
Thursday: Amsterdam
Friday: Fly back to US at 11am
THANK YOU in advance for taking the time to help

>>I'd like to know if we should spend less time in London and more in Amsterdam at the end:<<
Nope - in fact I think you should spend more time in London. First of all day 1 is pretty much a non starter since you likely won't even get to your hotel til 4 or 5 PM, and Friday is shot since you need to check out and be at St Pancras about an hour ahead of time. So as it is you only have 3 full days for London. Second - you'll be jet lagged at the beginning so the first day or two will be a slog. And finally - London is ENORMOUS with just masses of things for families to see/do.

I think you've done pretty wells with the time you have and having made the reservations. You don't hear that often on these boards!! LOL Janis may have a point--maybe leaving later to go to Paris would give you a bit more time in London and taking a late train to Amsterdam.

you need more time in London esp if you have been to Paris before.
