$60m Gas Station Retrofit Project Launched by Blue Earth
Blue Earth Inc., Gexpro and eCORE Technology have launched a project aimed at improving the energy efficiency of more than 2,000 independently owned gas station and convenience stores.
The project will include energy management systems, energy-efficient lighting and high-efficiency motors for refrigeration.
The first phase of the program is projected to cost $60 million and focuses on gas stations with an average energy cost of $30,000. It is expected to be completed within two years.
Castrovilla Inc. a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blue Earth will coordinate and install the energy efficiency measures; Gexpro will supply equipment; eCORE Technology will provide program introduction, marketing and sales support and Blue Earth will provide the project financing.
In August, Efficient Energy America announced that its retrofit HVAC control system, aimed at reducing energy costs and consumption, would now be available to the convenience store market.
The company says that, after installation, customers can save as much as $800 each month on electricity costs, per location.
Reader Comments
HELP. I'm looking for information from the 1970's when independently owned gas stations were forced to retrofit their storage systems at a cost that forced many of these stations to close. I'm curious on why our Government allows monopolies and acquisitions and when leverage buyouts fail, congress passes laws that put the competition out of business. What is the TRUTH behind BP and Arco? Please reply accordingly. Thank you, Kevin Luxon
I just performed upgrades on 10 of my stores with a company called RenewAge. The replaced my interior and exterior lights, put LEDs in the canopies, LEDs in the cooler doors and put ECM motors and controllers in my walk-in cooler. I'm seeing $1,500 a month in savings, roughly 40% from what I used to pay and the project will have returned its investment in less than 2 years. They did a great job.

text: Hi guys! I´m excited! i found an auction of an Extrema Ratio M.P.C that is ending in one day. The trick is: It is described as "defective" the locking "pin" being kaputt. The seller says he`s auctioning off 3 knives from a relative who passed away. Only 2 bidders currently. The bid is still at like 20$. This knife costs like 400Euros ... and my e-mail to the maker got me the answer, that they will replace it, if it wasnt abused. So i´m tempted to bis up to 120Euros for this knife and send it in to get a new one - if i get it! Any one have any ER knives? Are they as good as they look?

As the end of summer approaches, millions of American kids will be feeling the back-to-school blues, but the most acute cases may be found among those kids whose families moved over the summer. Starting over in a new school can be tough, but there are a number of things parents can do to ease the transition.
After all, moving isn't all about house hunting, researching property tax rates, and comparing adjustable with fixed mortgage rates. A move involves both business and family considerations, and one of the central family considerations is making sure your children are positioned to succeed and be happy in their new schools.
Here are some ideas for things to do throughout the relocation process to ease the transition for your kids:
- Research things about the new area that your kids would like. You may have chosen your new location voluntarily, or it may have been forced upon you by a job relocation. In either case, you need to figure out what the positives would be from your children's perspective, and highlight those things to them. This will start to break down the fear of the unknown that is natural in moving to a new area, and give your kids some aspects of the move they can look forward to.
- Involve your kids in the decision-making process. While it has to be clear that the grown-ups will make the final choices, the more your kids can be involved in the decision-making process, the more they are likely to buy into the final decision. Even very young children can be asked what they think on house-hunting visits. Elementary and middle school kids can be asked to look up information about the new area on the Internet, so they have a chance to discover local attractions and attributes on their own. As for older kids, besides giving them input into the type of house and neighborhood you choose, you can also use the process as a teaching opportunity about the business of owning a home. Explain how buying and selling a house works, and let them see how you compare mortgage rates, make an offer on a property, and take care of other details of the transaction.
- Iron out all the school registration issues in advance. Don't leave this till the last minute, because if there are any delays or glitches, it could reinforce a child's feeling of being an outsider at the new school. According to KidsHealth.org, documentation needed for the registration process may include a birth certificate, most recent report card or school transcript, and medical records.
- Get your children used to the transportation procedure. Whether it's walking, catching a school bus, or being driven, do a dry run so the kids know what to expect, and so you can get the timing down to make sure the kids aren't late for their first day of school.
- Introduce your children to the school and its personnel before Day One. The Maryland School Mental Health Alliance suggests that besides letting the kids get an advance look at the school itself, you should give them an opportunity to establish personal connections by meeting with teachers and administrators if possible. Also, seeing a parent's involvement will help create a positive first impression on those school officials.
- Try to help your kids meet schoolmates in advance. If you see kids of a similar age in your new neighborhood, stop by the house to introduce yourself and your kids to these families. This will probably work best with young kids - teens and tweens might find it a little mortifying.
- Prompt your children to communicate their experiences with starting the new school. Kids often try to keep up a "business as usual" front even when they are under stress. Make an extra effort to get them to open up about everything from coursework to lunches, but especially teachers and fellow students so you can see what they like and don't like about their new environment.
- Follow up with teachers. KidsHealth.org reports that teachers feel it can take children about six week to settle into a new school, so sometime around the six-week mark would be a good time to meet with teachers to see you your child is getting along.
Amidst all the pressing details of securing the best mortgage rates and closing on a house, it can be easy to lose sight of one of the most important factors in making any move a success: helping your children adapt to their new environment. By giving this issue some attention before, during, and after the move, you'll not only help your children through the transition, but with your efforts you'll also remind them about how much you care.

Truly Trending: An Interview on Intensifiers
August 31, 2016 | by Peter Nowogrodzki
Sali Tagliamonte is a linguist at the University of Toronto, where she studies language variation and change. Her latest book, Teen Talk: The Language of Adolescents, was published in June.
I called Tagliamonte because I'd noticed more and more people using the word truly. All of a sudden it seemed to be everywhere: in work e-mails and movie reviews, in headlines, on Twitter, on Twitter, and on Twitter. "It truly is up to us," Hilary Clinton said this summer in her acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention. A week prior, in Cleveland, Trump had remembered his "truly great mother."
Is truly trending? I couldn't tell—Liane Moriarty's book, Truly Madly Guilty, had just published. There had been that Savage Garden song in the nineties, and the Lionel Richie one in the eighties. I wanted to find out more, so I did what anyone with a linguistics question would do: I e-mailed Noam Chomsky. To my surprise, he wrote back within half an hour, suggesting I ask "an outstanding sociolinguist like William Labov." So I did. Labov told me, "The person who has done the most work on intensifiers like truly is Prof. Sali Tagliamonte." Read More »
Tension Minus the Genitals, and Other News
July 21, 2016 | by Robert P. Baird
- If there exists, as Susan Sontag once insisted, a "terrible, mean American resentment toward a writer who tries to do many things," nobody seems to have warned John Gruen. Born in France, in 1926, Gruen (né Jonas Grunberg) fled Hitler and then Mussolini before landing in New York in 1939, where he learned English by watching movies. Gruen, who died on Tuesday, spent his seventysomething years on this continent as a book buyer at Brentano's, a publicity director at Grove Press, a composer, a photographer, and, in his words, a "writer, critic, journalist, bon vivant, gadfly, busybody, father, husband, queer, neurotic workaholic," as well as a "handmaiden to the stars, reveler in reflected glory and needy intimate of the super-famous." In a 2008 interview, he told Time Out: "One of the big problems is that I never really settled on one thing ... I kept them all going, like a juggler, but none of them really took hold in a way that would catapult me as this one creature." At the same time, he said, "As Miss Piaf sang, 'Je ne regrette rien.' "
- I'll claim any person who dies with "Renaissance Man" in the headline of his obituary as an instant culture hero. But after learning that Charles Dickens turned his deceased cat into a letter opener, I'm beginning to feel a terrible, mean American resentment toward artists who try to make their dead pets do too many things. I can believe, for instance, that Le Corbusier loved his schnauzer Pinceau, just as I can believe that he loved Cervantes's Don Quixote with all his heart. What I cannot bring myself to believe is that the adequate response to both loves was to bind the latter book in the former's tanned and hairy hide. And yet.
- But what do I know? Love is strange like that. Sex is even stranger, especially in Victorian novels, where it often isn't sex at all. In her new book, Exquisite Masochism, Claire Jarvis suggests that for many of the fictional characters who had the bad luck to be stuck in a Victorian marriage plot, "withholding sex … is a perverse way of having it. In a novelistic milieu where illegitimacy or adultery can be the motives for serious tragedy, a fully developed sexual life presents a frightening threat. By describing erotic life in ways that avoid depicting sexual intercourse in favor of nongenital tension or intensity, novelists can render the frisson of sexual desire without the attendant plot risks."
- Andrew O'Hagan, reporting from the Department of Overlaps, finds a shared lesson in Joyce's Ulysses and The People vs. O.J. Simpson: "the tendency of reality to give way to the fiction-maker's abuse." And yet, he notes, that abuse is also the guarantee of a certain immortality (what was that about exquisite masochism?), which helps explain why "Dubliners lining up at Sylvia Beach's shop in Paris in 1922 were desperate to see if they'd been included, or, Holy Mother of God, left out ... In a way, Ulysses is like the greatest ever newspaper—all that was fit and unfit to print in one day—and its abundance depends on the idea that nobody is nothing."
- If nobody is nothing, does that mean that everybody is something? And if so, what? Or better yet: Who? At New York, Lindsey Weber and Bobby Finger visit Whoville, a social-media limbo that often appears more insubstantial than the one Dante devised in the fourth canto of the Inferno: "Now that we've all been thrown together on—and get our news from—enormous social platforms with seamless, instantaneous sharing, it's more likely than ever that we'll be confronted with stories about people who sound made up. The traditional A-list-to-D-list hierarchy no longer makes sense when people whose names you've never heard before are trending on a social networks with hundreds of millions of users. Instead, the subjects of gossip coverage can be divided into two categories: Whos (as in: *furrows brow* Who?) and Thems (as in: 'Oh, them.')"
What Kind of Name Is That?
February 8, 2016 | by Tony Tulathimutte
How to name your fictional characters.
To me the most embarrassing part of writing fiction, aside from telling people about it, is naming your characters. Of course, even "real" names are made up, but in life our names are things we can alter only with a great deal of paperwork; in fiction, writers can line up names and identities as they please, dropping or trading them on a whim. Contriving a name for a contrived person seems terribly precious to me, akin to naming a doll. You want your characters to have names that aren't too convenient but still memorable and meaningful, which isn't easy. I spent about a year with a manuscript populated by memorable characters like [[ROOMMATE]] and ???????'s dad, swapping dozens of potential monikers in pursuit of the perfectly natural, unforced, graceful name. After rupturing a few blood vessels that way, I tried to figure out what other writers were doing.
The question of what names mean, what they're for, has been around in the West since at least 500 B.C., when the Pythagoreans developed a few rules of onomancy to divine human traits from things like the number of vowels in one's name. (Even numbers signaled an imperfection in the left side of the body.) One of the earliest discussions about naming comes from Plato's dialogue "Cratylus," in which Socrates oversees a debate about whether a name is "an instrument of teaching and distinguishing natures" or whether it's just a matter of "convention and agreement." More recently, psychoanalysts like Wilhelm Stekel and Carl Jung posited that the "compulsion of the name" not only reflects but determines one's future: that we're all engaged, from birth, in a nominative determinism. (Anyone quick to dismiss this as Freudian bunk should look at the abundance of Shaquilles now entering professional sports.) Read More »
Beware the Mineshaft of Books, and Other News
July 14, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
- From 1859 to 1870, Dickens edited All the Year Round, a literary magazine that declined to identify its contributors. But a newly discovered twenty-volume set teeming with Dickens's annotations threatens to blow everyone's cover: in pencil, Dickens has noted the authors in each issue, including Elizabeth Gaskell, Wilkie Collins, Lewis Carroll, and Eliza Lynn Linton.
- The Tale of Genji is a very long eleventh-century Japanese book by the noblewoman Murasaki Shikibu, often cited as the world's first novel. A new English translation suggests that its stories can still captivate many centuries later, even if those stories were hell to translate. "Every page is sprinkled with poems or phrases pointing to Chinese and Japanese literary sources that an eleventh-century aesthete might have been proud to notice but are lost on most Japanese today, let alone the reader of an English translation … A literal translation of Genji would be unreadable. And the vagueness, so poetic in Japanese, would simply be unintelligible to the Western reader."
- Endurance lit—stories of extreme athletic feats in which one daring sportsman survives enormous hardship, et cetera to emerge on the other side a more thoughtful, ethical human being, et cetera—is a thriving subgenre, but what explains its appeal? "Here's the most revealing facet of endurance lit: most of the best sellers in this genre are about self-imposed hardship. They are about sport, in its widest sense. True endurance is the kind shown by the sweatshop worker who arrives for her fourteen-hour shift, day after day, and is paid buttons … But books about sweatshop workers do not sell by the lorry load."
- Public-service announcement: there are libraries and then there are "libraries," which—watch out—will sometimes turn out to be never-ending pits lined with bookshelves, like this one.
- New York's Brazenhead Books, a shop that's more speakeasy than bookstore, faces an eviction notice, and its proprietor, Michael Seidenberg, is hoping for a billionaire donor. He may get his wish: since the threat of closure has begun to hover, "the secret store has become a 'secret' one, with much written about it. The New Yorker has a film crew documenting his exit, as the books begin to get boxed and moved, at least for now, in with his wife and dogs."
Immoral Situations, and Other News
June 29, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Ken Kalfus is on his way to the bookstore, and he's not having a swell time—because how can you, anymore? "Bookstores have become places of regret and shame. We once enjoyed shopping in them or simply looking in their windows, back in the days when they were ordinary retail establishments. They were like stores that sold shoes or hats, but with more appealing merchandise. Now they've taken on moral significance. Buying a book and choosing the place to do so involve delicate and complicated considerations. You may fail to do the right thing."
- Philip Larkin will soon be honored with a flagstone at Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey—a kind of rarefied Walk of Fame where he'll join such august forebears as Chaucer, Dickens, and Ted Hughes. Asterisk: Larkin regarded his fellow flagstoners, to a one, as hacks. "We do not find any great striving towards artistic greatness," he said of The Canterbury Tales; Dickens was "hectic, nervy, panic-stricken," with "queer names, queer characters"; and Hughes he regarded as simply "no good at all."
- From the annals of censorship: Thomas Hardy's original manuscript for Tess of the D'Urbervilles fell afoul of the morality police in strange ways. Macmillan's Magazine, which rejected the novel for its "immoral situations," thought Hardy overused the word succulent: "Perhaps I might say that the general impression left on me by reading your story … is one of rather too much succulence." Another magazine, Graphic, wouldn't serialize it until Hardy removed "references to characters traveling on a Sunday and to rewrite the scene in which Angel Clare carries Tess and her fellow milkmaids over a stream—one of the novel's great moments of muted desire—so that he instead pushed her across in a wheelbarrow."
- Douglas Coupland's Microserfs was a strange book when it appeared in 1995—it's even stranger now. A novel based on a piece he'd reported for Wired, it endorses a kind of techno-utopia in which start-ups can give real meaning to life, but "the possibility that work within a capitalist system, no matter how creative and freeform and unlike what your parents did, might be fundamentally incompatible with self-actualization and spiritual fulfillment is not on the table." And the Internet is only a glimmer, if not a mirage, on the horizon. "This highway," one character asks of the Information Superhighway: "Is it a joke? You hear so much about it, but really, what is it … The media has gone berserk with Net-this and Net-that. It's a bit much. The Net is cool, but not that cool."
- Nonfiction publishing is full of middlebrow "talking-point books": essentially swollen magazine pieces that hang shoddy scholarship on some banal marketing hook. "We have a flock of books arguing that the internet is either the answer to all our problems or the cause of them; we have scads of books telling us about the importance of mindfulness, or forgetfulness, or distraction, or stress. We have any number about what one recent press release called the 'always topical' debate between science and religion. We have a whole subcategory that concern themselves with 'what it means to be human.'"
The Sam Weller Bump
April 14, 2015 | by Nina Martyris
Dickens the authorpreneur.
Bigger than the Zuckerberg Bump, bigger even than the Colbert Bump or the Oprah Bump—arguably the most historic bump in English publishing is the Sam Weller Bump, triggered not by a tastemaker with a megaphone but a sharp-talking, warm-hearted servant.
In June 1836, Charles Dickens published the fourth installment of his first novel, The Pickwick Papers, one of the many shilling monthlies that were the backbone of Victorian publishing. Printed on low-cost acidic paper and sold in pale green wrappers, they were aimed at the middle and newly literate working classes on the lookout for entertaining fare. But many of these readers had grown accustomed to the gobbets of melodrama offered by the cheap press—they were utterly uninterested, then, in the picaresque misadventures of Mr. Pickwick and his chums as they bowled through England collecting scientific information for the betterment of mankind. The first three installments of Pickwick barely sold four hundred copies.
But that June, sales began to grow by orders of magnitude: from four hundred to four thousand to an astounding forty thousand as the serialization drew to a close in November 1837. Everyone up and down the social ladder began to devour Pickwick, from butchers' boys to John Ruskin, who read Pickwick so often he claimed to know it by heart. Copies were passed from hand to hand and read aloud as family entertainment. The critics effused with praise. Dickens, who was twenty-four and expecting his first child, had become a household name.

How to Prevent Strangers from Messaging You on Snapchat
Two Parts:Setting Your PrivacyAdding FriendsCommunity Q&A
Snapchat allows strangers to message you through "snaps," or pictures and short videos. If you only want to receive snaps from your friends, you just need to take a few steps to change privacy settings.
Part 1
Setting Your Privacy
1Open Snapchat. Find the snapchat app on your phone. The icon is yellow with a white ghost shape in the middle.
2Tap the ghost at the top center of your screen. When you open your snapchat, you'll see a little ghost icon on your screen. Click on this ghost.
3Select the gear in the top right of your screen. A dropdown menu appears when you click on the ghost. There is a red or white colored gear in the upper righthand corner that will open your settings.
- If it's red, you need to update something in your settings.
- If it's white, you have no new activity.
4Choose "Send Me Snaps." Scroll down to the section titled "Who Can…" The first option under this title is "Send Me Snaps." Choose this.[1]
5Choose "My Friends." The screen will ask "Who is allowed to send me Snaps?" If there is a checkmark beside "Everyone," then anyone (including strangers) can send you a snap. Tap the option that says: "My Friends."
- Tap the back button (an arrow at the top left of the screen) to save your settings.
Part 2
Adding Friends
1Add friends. Now that strangers can't send you snaps, you need to add friends to your contacts. This way you can still receive snaps from your friends and people you know.
2Open Snapchat and click the ghost in the upper center of the screen. A dropdown menu will appear when you click the ghost.
3Choose "Add Friends." This will open a menu that gives you several different options for adding friends. Add friends by:[2]
- Searching by Username. Type in your friend's user name and tap the + button.
- Importing from your address book. This will access the contacts already stored in your phone. Add them by tapping the + button.
- Using a specific snapcode.
- Searching for people who are nearby. This will search for users that are in your area.
- You will likely have to wait for the person to accept your friend request before he or she begins sending you snaps. But now your snaps will be from people you know instead of strangers!
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
If this question (or a similar one) is answered twice in this section, please click here to let us know.
- If a stranger tries to add you, you can block them. Do this by tapping on their Username in the added me section. A little cog will appear and will bring you into settings. Here, tap block and they won't be able to find you.
- Report any issues with safety or abuse in stories.[3]

Paulson Bid for Steinway Trumps Kohlberg Offer
Billionaire hedge-fund manager John Paulson has made a topping offer for Steinway Musical Instruments Inc., leaving the buyout firm that last month struck a deal to take the piano maker private to decide if it wants to boost its own bid.
Steinway said Monday that it had received an offer that was better than the $35-a-share price it accepted from Kohlberg & Co. in June.
Steinway didn't disclose who made the higher offer, but people familiar with the matter said it was Paulson & Co., which rose to fame after it made billions of dollars betting against subprime mortgages ahead of the housing collapse. Paulson's bid, at $38-a-share, values the Waltham, Mass., company at about $478 million.
Steinway said in a securities filing that its bankers and lawyers determined that the new bid was superior to its previous agreement, under which Kohlberg has three business days to match or top the new higher bid.
Paulson's bid is a rare topping offer to come from a so-called go-shop period, a sort of after-the-fact auction that dealmakers use to search for a better deal than whatever the seller has accepted.
Steinway said it contacted 64 parties during its go-shop period.
Steinway shares rose $3.36, or 9.3%, to close at $39.59 Monday on the New York Stock Exchange, suggesting that investors expect a bidding war. The stock is up about 86% this year.

Kolhberg didn't return calls seeking comment.
Paulson's bid was earlier reported by the New York Post.
Paulson is better known as an engineer of massive trades in securities than for corporate takeovers.
Investors flooded into Paulson's funds after the lucrative housing bets, swelling the firm's assets under management to $36 billion at the start of 2011. That's come down though. The New York firm's web site says it manages about $18 billion.
For Steinway, which also makes band instruments, the offers come as it strives to establish itself better in fast-growing markets such as China, Russia and Brazil, where it has less brand recognition than elsewhere and faces low-cost rivals.
Steinway reported this month that its second-quarter earnings surged as sales improved.
Steinway & Sons was founded in 1853 by German immigrant Henry Engelhard Steinway in Manhattan. He was a master cabinet maker who built his first piano in the kitchen of his home in Germany, according to the company's website.
Over the next 30 years, Mr. Steinway and his sons developed the modern piano. The company's products include Bach Stradivarius trumpets, Selmer Paris saxophones, C.G. Conn French horns, Leblanc clarinets, King trombones and Ludwig snare drums.
