I'm in a cute little place where a friend of mine (Lou). lives. There is not alot here but it is nice and was very pretty in the snow. I had thought that March was quite late for a large amount of snow but apparently i was wrong. It appears that most of the country was blanketed in the stuff on Saturday night I think because I like it so much it makes an extra special effort in my presence because the same thing happened in Berlin.
When I first arrived it was into Heathrow. Heathrow is the worst airport I have been in by a mile. That includes Delhi. Even though the queen is still the official leader of our country I, as a citizen of Australia, had to que with all the people coming from third world nations. I got caught behind a Saudi family that was almost denied entry. Weird. Its the one place in the world where i though it couldn't happen....apparently we are not part of the EU or a trading partner...or Swiss which were listed seperatly (?).
Anyway, after stuggling my way through customs....(why are you here?what did you study? how did you like learning about glaciers??? hmmmmmmm)....i made the massivly long trek to the underground. I hadn't taken a trolley because i didn't think it was very far. Mistake. I then headed to Bryce's for the night. While i was on the underground i discovered that i had no idea where i was supposed to be getting my bus for Edinburgh from or what time it was leaving. I made a call to my travel agent, he was on holiday though so i talked to one of the others who had my ticket sent to me by email. Fine. Except it was the middle of the night and in the only 24hrs internet place the printer was broken. I ended up going to the bus in the morning and just pleading with the folk in the ticket office to print my ticket out for me....through my email account. They were really nice and i made my bus by 2 mins.
The bus took 9.5hrs so i've decided against buses for the rest of my travels in the UK. Seeing Trine in Edinburgh was brilliant though. I had a really good time there and ended up staying longer than planned....although my planning abilities are not the best so i hadn't really planned anywhere to go after.
I'm about to go and catch a train to Manchester and I'll continue my tale from there

Spring Cleanup/Dethatching - St. Cloud, MN
Thatch is the layer of living and dead stems, roots, stolons, and rhizomes between the green blades of grass and the soil surface.
A thin layer of thatch (less than 1/2 inch thick) can be beneficial to the lawn because it helps to limit weed germination, reduce water evaporation, and protect from frost damage. However, thick thatch
layers can prevent water, air, and nutrients from penetrating the soil, causing reduced root growth and increased potential for drought stress.
Thatch also favors fungal growth and can harbor insect pests. Some turf grass species, such as tall fescue and perennial rye grass, do not produce much thatch. Other turf grass species, such as Bermuda grass, bent grass, Zoysia grass, and Kentucky bluegrass, have creeping growth habits and rapidly build thick thatch layers.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) The Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed CBS News executives and people close to Katie Couric, said Wednesday she could leave her job as anchor of the low-rated CBS Evening News well before her contract expires in 2011.
CBS and Couric both issued statements downplaying the Journal story while stopping short of an outright denial.
MORE ON COURIC: Lifeline Live blog
The report comes as CBS continues to lag in third place in the network news ratings, far behind behind NBC and ABC, 19 months after Couric's much ballyhooed debut as the first woman solo anchor of a major U.S. evening newscast — for a salary reportedly worth $15 million a year.
Couric, 51, who gained celebrity status during 15 years as co-host of America's top-rated morning show, NBC's Today, may leave CBS as early as next January, soon after the U.S. presidential inauguration, the Journal said in its online edition.
Her five-year contract is set to expire in 2011, the newspaper said, adding that it was possible Couric could survive in her job if a major news event lifted her viewership or some other shift occurred at CBS.
CBS and Couric said they have no plans to alter the evening newscast.
"We are very proud of the CBS Evening News particularly our political coverage, and we have no plans for any changes regarding Katie or the broadcast," the network said in a statement.
A separate statement attributed to Couric said: "I am working hard and having fun. My colleagues continue to impress me with their commitment to the newscast, and I am very proud of the show we put on every day."
Despite the heavy promotion of Couric's hiring and the huge amount of media attention it garnered, CBS has made little headway in its bid for supremacy among the Big Three network newscasts.
For the week ended March 31, the CBS Evening News averaged 5.9 million viewers, compared to 8.3 million for NBC's Nightly News with Brian Williams and 8 million for ABC's World News with Charles Gibson, according to Nielsen Media Research.
At stake in the competition is roughly $450 million in annual advertising revenue.
Following an initial boost in her ratings, Couric's nightly audience has generally lagged well behind that of her immediate predecessor, Bob Schieffer.
He had taken over as host on a temporary basis after veteran anchor Dan Rather, Walter Cronkite's successor, stepped down in the aftermath of his discredited 60 Minutes report on the military service record of George W. Bush.
In the marketing blitz for Couric's CBS debut, the network sought to promote her as a more "accessible" journalist who also possessed the experience to carry its flagship newscast. But after trying various format changes to accentuate Couric's more casual style, the network has returned to a more traditional presentation.
The Wall Street Journal suggested Couric's next job might be to succeed veteran TV interviewer Larry King at CNN, who is 74 and whose contract with his network expires next year.

Ever played Katamari Damacy? It's a great game, there's no doubt about that. However, as an inspiration for fashion – I'm not so sure.
In addition to making you look like a total lunatic, the Katamari earmuffs are also functional. They feature a secret compartment to hide valuables – although, by the looks of things, adding on any more weight would likely break your neck.
The Earmuffs are available via the ThriftyKnitter for $120, or you can knit them yourself using the pattern in Shojo Beat Magazine (and we all know that nerds and knitting go hand in hand).

16 Jan What Small Businesses Can Learn From Professional Football
We were treated to some phenomenal playoff football games this past weekend. All four divisional matchups were high-scoring, one went into overtime, and three of them were decided in the final minutes. The Monday morning quarterbacks at Balboa Capital agree that it was one of the best lineups of games that we've ever seen. It was evident that the coaches and players spent a significant amount of time preparing for these important matchups. Planning and strategizing are not only keys to success in professional football, but to business, as well. This equipment leasing blog entry examines some proven lessons from the football field that can be applied to your small business.
Be a Great Leader
It goes without saying that great teams have great leaders. As a small business owner, you can lead your team of employees to greatness by recognizing their hard work, listening to their input and empowering them when it comes to certain business decisions. Make sure that everyone at your company fully understands your short- and long-term goals, and that you lead by example on a daily basis. Nothing is more inspiring to workers than having a CEO who is fully engaged in day-to-day tasks and responsibilities.
Football players need to practice to improve their skills and remain competitive. The same goes for you and your employees. Staying on top of the latest developments in your field and taking the steps necessary to enhance your abilities and knowledge can help give you a competitive edge. And it doesn't require a big investment in time, money or resources. You can purchase books, journals and industry publications that are relative to your business to gain insight into market trends. It's also beneficial to become a member of professional business associations so you can network with your peers and share success stories. Lastly, your employees can step up their game by attending workshops or training courses.
Pick a Captain
Owning a small business is extremely personal and perhaps the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. Because of this, it's only natural to want to wear a bunch of hats when you come to the office each day. However, being involved in too many business matters can prove to be a detriment to your company. That's why you should delegate certain responsibilities to a key staffer who has all the attributes required of a team captain. This will free up your time and allow you to focus more time and energy on the most important business tasks. If your company has a number of employees and several different departments, consider selecting a manager for each.
Study the Competition
Football teams study hours upon hours of game film to see what their opponents are doing. If they didn't do this, they wouldn't be prepared on game day. You can't run a successful company without looking at what your key competitors are doing, either. Whether they are introducing new products or services, expanding their operations or launching new marketing initiatives, you need to know. More importantly, you need to have a plan in place to lessen the impact of your competitors' actions. For example, if a competitor suddenly lowers their prices, you might want to promote "outstanding customer service" and "higher quality" in your online and offline marketing efforts. You can keep a watchful eye on your competition by periodically visiting their websites or doing a simple Internet search.
Balboa Capital hopes you found this blog article beneficial. Enjoy the final few weeks of the football season and contact us when you need fast, dependable funding for your small business. We just entered our 25th year in business, and our broad portfolio of financing solutions encompasses equipment leasing, working capital loans, business cash advances, commercial business loans, franchise financing and equipment vendor financing.

EDITORIAL >>Complaining wont help
What next? Will Sen. John McCain denounce the people who kept referring to him as a former prisoner of war? McCain was a United States congressman and senator longer than he was a POW. Huckabee told a crowd at the Clinton School last week that he was a lieutenant governor and governor longer than he was a pastor although to be factual the lieutenant governor is a ceremonial office whose occupant does not deal substantively with the issues of governance. He was governor for 10 ½ years and a pastor for 12 years but a worker in the ministry for longer.
Huckabee was defined as a presidential candidate by his assertion of religious leadership and McCain by his courageous triumph over his long captivity in Vietnam. Such success as both men had in the presidential campaign in 2008 owes directly to admiration of both men for those life experiences and their skillful exploitation of the past.
Throughout the campaign, Huckabee was guest pastor at churches in primary states. It was a staple of his campaign. He organized fellow evangelical preachers, which became a pivotal part of his effort in the caucuses in Iowa and in the early primary states.
Before the Iowa caucuses in January, Huckabee rallied evangelical ministers, who led the big turnout of worshippers who gave him the big victory that catapulted him to the top tier of candidates. It was called the Renewal Project and it funded a pastors convention at Des Moines before the caucuses. The Renewal Project did the same during the next few weeks, in New Hampshire, South Carolina, Florida and Texas. He rounded up the support of big TV evangelists and worked to turn pastoral gatherings into Huckabee rallies and fund-raisers.
Frequently throughout the campaign, Huckabee made references to his faith and to his work as a pastor, which he said brought him into personal contact with all the social pathologies that confront the country. In his Iowa campaign, his TV commercials carried the words Christian leader beneath his picture and a glowing cross behind him (unintentional, he said).
Actually, in the debates, in news stories and in TV and radio broadcasts, Huckabee was almost never referred to as a former preacher and then only after mentioning his considerable years as a governor. It was mentioned about as often as Barack Obamas early career as a community organizer and it clearly had a far bigger role in Huckabees success than Senator Obamas few years as an organizer in Chicagos poor neighborhoods had in his nomination and election.
But Governor Huckabee was only hinting at his real point. He faltered because he could never expand his appeal much beyond the evangelicals who thought his ministry of conservative churches and his embrace of the churches social doctrines was the core of who he was. That failure cannot be laid at the door of the media for occasionally mentioning that he was a preacher, but to the narrow dimension of his own campaign.
He is deeply engaged in running again in 2012, thus his new book and his book-signing tour of early caucus and primary states: Iowa, South Carolina, and Florida. He needs to shed his image as a one-dimensional evangelical while holding the loyalty of the base that he built so well. That will be hard to do, particularly with Gov. Sarah Palin cutting deeply into his conservative church constituency.
Talking knowledgeably and rationally about the real issues confronting the country will do it. Complaining about deeds that never occurred wont.

Hydrologic Networks and Analysis Program (HNA)
Welcome to the Hydrologic Network and Analysis Program (HNA)
The Hydrologic Networks and Analysis (HNA) supports a number of key activities in the Water Mission Area, and is a basic science support program. The Federal funds appropriated through the HNA program support four distinct water-quality networks, information delivery for the USGS water resources programs, and basic research.
HNA funds 200 scientists and technicians throughout the Water Mission Area and across the U.S. Funding supports basic water-quality networks, database maintenance and development, internet applications, quality-assurance and quality-control activities, and basic research. Through HNA, the USGS provides technical support to the Bureau of Reclamation and the National Park Service through the Water-Quality Partnership.
HNA supports long-term national networks for the collection of data on water quality and atmospheric deposition, including the National Stream Quality Accounting Network (NASQAN), the Hydrologic Benchmark Network (HBN), and the National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP). This program component also includes activities related to the new National Water Quality Monitoring Network, a multi-agency effort conducted under the auspices of the President's Ocean Action Plan.
The NASQAN program samples 33 streams (10 of these are in conjunction with the NAWQA or Coop Programs). Of these, 13 are coastal rivers and 20 are inland stations on the Mississippi and Atchafalaya River Basins. The 12 coastal sites in the conterminous US account for 80 percent of the total discharge. The 13th coastal site is the Yukon in Alaska. NASQAN data are used to estimate annual loads of nitrogen and phosphorus to the Gulf of Mexico. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) uses this information to make annual forecasts of the hypoxia zone in the Gulf of Mexico. In collaboration with other Water Mission Area programs NAWQA and NSIP, HNA supports water quality monitoring at 15 undisturbed streams and rivers to determine the influence of atmospheric deposition and the Clean Air Act on stream ecosystems. Through HNA, USGS monitors 76 sites in the 250-site NADP National Trends Network (NTN) and 6 sites in the NADP Mercury Deposition Network. The NTN is the only network providing long-term records of precipitation chemistry in the U.S., and data from the NTN are used by EPA and others in the regulation of atmospheric emissions.
Studies of the effect of climate change on water-resources in the U.S. are supported through this program. For example, research on the potential effects of specific levels of atmospheric warming on streamflow in the Colorado River basin were evaluated using a water-balance model, and the results are analyzed within the context of a multi-century tree-ring reconstruction (1490-1998) of streamflow for the basin. The results indicate that if future warming occurs in the basin and is not accompanied by increased precipitation, then the basin is likely to experience periods of water supply shortages more severe than those inferred from the long-term historical tree-ring reconstruction there is an increasing the likelihood that the water allocation requirements of the Colorado River Compact would not be met. Models developed through HNA also suggest that a 1°-3°C warming could have major negative effects on water availability in the upper Yellowstone. These results also indicate that twentieth-century observations paint an incomplete and potentially overly optimistic picture of regional water supplies.
The HNA program provides national technical support for geographically distributed USGS water-resources studies, including quality control to ensure the technical excellence of water resources programs. Technical support also provides a structured way of transferring new technology to USGS investigative and data activities that are primarily conducted in the USGS Water Science Centers located in each State, and a formal way of establishing priorities for water-resources research by the USGS (Klamath Basin Studies and Priority Ecosystems Science).
The HNA program supports delivery of results and water information beyond the immediate needs of funding agencies or programs (the USGS funds the delivery of basic hydrologic data directly as a part of the overall cost of the data collection). This activity has two products: publications and the computer-based National Water Information System (NWIS). This component of the HNA program also supports activities of the Advisory Committee on Water Information (ACWI), a Presidential Federal Advisory Committee, and its subcommittees. The goal of this program component is to maintain and enhance USGS data delivery systems to process and disseminate water data and study results.
Key Stakeholders:
Because of the program's wide range of activities, the data and analytical information provided through Hydrologic Networks and Analysis are used by a variety of stakeholders, including —
- Other Interior bureaus (National Park Service water quality partnership),
- EPA and USDA (baseline water-quality information through HNA networks),
- Department of Commerce (real-time flood level information provided through the National Water Information System, which HNA supports),
- State and local governments (water-quality and flood level information),
- Academia,
- Consulting and advocacy organizations,
- Industry, and
- Private citizens.

- Abstract:
This PhD project is an interdisciplinary study focusing on a broad range of characteristics of Performance Management Systems (PMSs) and the extent to which these characteristics contribute towards an effective PMS. Furthermore, the project examines the relationship between an effective PMS and employee work-related attitudes. As an integral part of any organisation's personnel management, the PMS plays a fundamental role in identifying, evaluating and developing the work performance of employees in accordance with organisational goals and as such it identifies performance requirements, provides relevant feedback and assists with career development. The effectiveness of a PMS is one of the critical PMS outcomes and it is related to the degree to which the system delivers its intended results, i.e. helping organisations to plan, measure and control their performance. The effectiveness of the PMS is considered an important factor for achieving positive work-related attitudes by employees, thus the importance of this study which examines the relationship of an effective PMS with a range of work-related attitudes.

My runescape name is Indecent Act, I have been playing actively since early 2005. I don't play as much as I used to, but I still log in a few times a week to keep in touch with friends and check out new content. I live in Australia and have been been programming on and off since 1985. I specialized in custom built applications and networking tools. Nowadays I just dabble with a few .Net languages and play around with server side code for this site.
How this site came into existence was completely by accident. I had no real aim or goals when creating this site and basically it was just a space for me to play around with web design. My hiscores page was merely created for my own personal use, I wanted a simplified hiscores page that displayed plenty of content on a single screen. I wanted to see levels beyond 99, I wanted to be able to track my progress across all skills, xp and ranks. I wanted an alog that shows all skills, levels, and xp. I wanted colour indicators when comparing two players. Basically I wanted more than what the official hiscores gives. The official hiscores look great and I'm not suggesting they are inadequate, it's just I simply wanted more thus these hiscores were created.
It took me around 2 hours to make my first hiscores page that showed your levels and those ranked around you. The few friends I showed it to returned time and time again to look up players. It seemed I wasn't the only one who wanted more from the hiscores. After some encouragement (mostly from my sister) I posted a link on HLF, and wow I was stunned with the positive feedback. So many words of encouragement and many thanks from the maxed players. I immediately began to make some improvements based on player feedback and to this day I'm still making changes and improvements. The HLF community is simply awesome when it comes to supporting practical ideas and projects.
So that's how these hiscores started and it's still early days. I have plans for improvements and I'm sure the players who use this site have plenty more suggestions for me too.
These hiscores are created and inspired by those who play the game.

Mus-L-Blast Overview
MLO Mus-L-Blast is a premium post-workout recovery blend optimized to quickly stimulate protein synthesis and replenish muscle glycogen. It contains both simple and complex carbohydrates along with BCAA-rich ion-exchange protein in an optimal 5:1 ratio of carbs to protein. The enriched glutamine peptides are MLO Mus-L-Blast's icing on the cake. Together these ingredients work to initiate a rapid state of recovery so you can hit the gym harder and more often.Research supports the majority of post-workout recovery occurs from protein and carbohydrate utilization during the post-workout period. It doesn't matter how much creatine or fancy supplements you take during this period, you need real quantifiable calories to initiate recovery. Quality calories should always be your first priority when it comes to recovery. That's why MLO Mus-L-Blast brings it down the basics and provides exactly what your muscles need to recover: high-quality protein enriched with BCAAs and glutamine, simple and complex carbs. It's absolutely amazing how effective this simple formula is at building lean muscle mass. And it this price, you really can't beat it.

Manufacturer's Directions
Combine 4 scoops of MUS-L BLAST with 2 cups (16oz) of reduced fat milk in a blender. Mix thoroughly. Drink at least one serving per day. MUS-L BlAST may be mixed with water, juices or other beverages.
i've used it for years now... tried several competitive brands and for results, taste, texture (not the smoothest, but i kinda like that actually), and price, this is my favorite... i like the vanilla so i can add whatever flavor i want, be it fresh strawberries, chocolate, or even freeze dried coffee...
GREAT FLAVOR, the chocolate is delicious. Have to use a blender, add a banana. You can get addicted. I mix this with MHP UP YOUR MASS to get higher amount of protein. I wish this came in the 10lb buckets still like the 90'. I drank it for years due to high metabolism.
R u suppose to only drink/use it after work outs of can u use it before?
Does it help burn off fat?
That's my main goal
Excellent, good price, very low, I used for years
Im 84 years old and have been using this product, Musc L Blast, for over 16 years with great results. Because of all the ingredients, especially the essential amino acids, I am in terrific condition. I recommend this product to everyone who wants to stay in shape and have energy and stamina.

Gooda Cheese(Vegan)
Recipe by Sharon123
This is a block cheese that has a creamy texture and pretty golden color! Slice it into wedges for a delicious snack or appetizer. For smoked gooda, add a few drops of liquid smoke or a pinch of hickory salt while blending. Add to gravies, stuffed veggies, soups, sauces, sprinkle over potatoes, slice and melt on veggie burgers, mix with hot grains, well, you get the idea! Adapted from the Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook! A little info on block uncheeses: Block cheeses are among the most challenging to convert to dairy free versions. This is largely because homemade uncheeses are comparatively low in fat-specifically saturated fat, which stays hard and solid at room temperature. Saturated fat is what keeps dairy cheeses firm, sliceable, and easy to great. Consequently, uncheese blocks generally are much softer than their dairy counterparts and require a lighter touch and more gentle handling when being sliced or grated. One way around this is to freeze uncheese blocks and grate them when they are partially thawed. However, once fully thawed, the texture and consisntency may be altered a bit, depending on the particular cheez. For this reason, it's a good idea to freeze only the amount you know you will be grating and using shortly. Melting has been a challenge with uncheeses from the outset. This is why so many maufacturers add dairy derived casein to their uncheese products-it improves meltability and achieves the "stretch" that is characteristic of dairy cheese. Fortunately, homemade, dairty free uncheeses will melt, although you might need to nudge them a bit in the process. Covering uncheeses during cooking or baking keeps in heat and moisture and helps promote more even melting. To brown uncheeses after melting, uncover and place under the broiler. Misting with oil will also help to promote better browning and melting. When simmering agar flakes or powder, be sure the agar is dissolved completely before adding the mixture to the food processor. To soften agar, which will help it dissolve, let it soak in the water for 5-10 minutes before bringing to a boil. For richer tasting cheez, use soymilk instead of water and a tbls. or two of milk vegetable oil while blending.
Top Review by Cilantro in Canada
I can't believe how easy this was to make. I made this exactly as written using water and no oil. I divided this into three once it was made. The first third I left alone. The second third I added about 1/8 tsp of liquid smoke. To the last third I added about 3 Tsp of dried cranberries and a few whole almonds. I loved them all, but my favourite was the one with the liquid smoke. So yummy. Thanks for the recipe.

When implemented correctly, daylight harvesting and automated shading strategies can provide impressive energy savings, all while boosting comfort and productivity.
What is so critical about sustainable building design? Commercial buildings consume nearly 40 percent of total energy consumption, and within that envelope, lighting electricity accounts for 38 percent of consumption, while air conditioning accounts for 23 percent1. Clearly, lighting and air conditioning constitute two of the prime candidates for energy reduction.
Driven by growing energy demands and the significant impacts that lighting and air conditioning have on energy consumption, lighting and shade control are fast emerging as important pathways to responsible energy use.
Daylighting design can have a tremendous impact on lighting and air conditioning use. However, optimal daylighting design is much more than creating window openings to allow daylight into a building. The energy balance alone often creates conflict between reduced electric lighting and the need to cool the building to compensate for the additional solar heat.
More importantly, when we talk about truly sustainable design we need to go beyond energy savings to include the human elements of the workplace, including glare, views and distractions. The complexity and constantly changing nature of daylight requires dynamic solutions to simultaneously optimize these factors.
Strategies such as daylight harvesting and automatic shade control contribute to energy savings by reducing the amount of electric light required when daylight is present, while minimizing solar heat gain. These strategies also work to improve occupant comfort, reduce glare and maximize
views without continual user maintenance, thereby achieving an optimal balance between energy, functionality and comfort.
environmental factors
Building location, orientation and layout all affect the way daylight impacts a space. Appropriate daylight design incorporates information about both the quantity and the quality of daylight for a given location. Some of the key design considerations include global location, climate type, typical cloud cover (average number of cloudy, partly cloudy and sunny days) and landscape (number and type of obstructions such as surrounding buildings, vegetation, terrain and so on).
Virtually every building will have to mitigate glare as even cloudy geographies have the occasional clear or partly cloudy day (although Seattle might argue otherwise). However, geographical settings typically determine additional daylight control strategies. In hot climates, the focus is direct solar control through light and heat reduction, and the utilization of light redirection devices (such as Venetian blinds or light shelves) to increase light penetration into the building. In temperate climates that experience large swings in temperature, seasonal daylight control is used
to block the direct sun in the summer while allowing
sunlight penetration during the winter months to reduce heating needs.
In the Northern Hemisphere, the north façade of a building (or the south façade in the Southern Hemisphere) requires minimal shading and large windows to maximize exposure to diffuse skylight, while the south façade can control most direct sun with fixed shading systems. A building with an east/west orientation will have the greatest reliance on dynamic solar control due to direct solar penetration in the morning and afternoon.
automatic light control
Regardless of a property's unique environment, each building has opportunities to implement effective light control to save energy and enhance the working environment. Automatic light control strategies, such as daylighting, occupancy sensing and automatic shading help take the guesswork out of efficient lighting, while still providing personal control to accommodate individual preferences.
A daylighting control system works best when combined with a full-building lighting control system which incorporates daylight harvesting, automated shading, occupancy sensing, light level tuning (reducing
the maximum light output for spaces that are overlit) and personal dimming controls. By combining these strategies, buildings have been able to reduce lighting usage by 60 percent or more2. It is also true that lighting energy reduction via light level tuning, daylighting and occupancy sensing can reduce HVAC use; an additional 15 percent HVAC energy reduction is possible if automated shading is used3.
Automated daylight harvesting can be achieved using a simple, retrofit control or a central, processor-based control system. Both systems use a permanent light sensor to provide feedback to the lighting system about the quantity of daylight in the space. The purpose of the sensor is to tell the lighting system how much supplemental electric light is required. A setpoint is identified, and this setpoint indicates the required light level that the control system maintains by adjusting electric light output in response to changes in available daylight.
Dimming is the recommended method of daylight harvesting. Dimming provides the least disruption, as studies show that gradual dimming of electric lighting by 15 or 20 percent is virtually undetectable to occupants in a space4, 5 and saves lighting electricity proportionate to the dimming percentage. A dimming daylighting control system can maintain ideal light levels with no action required by the occupant of the space.
More sophisticated daylight strategies will typically include localized, manual override controls for individual users that enable task-oriented lighting adjustments, ensuring optimal light levels and maintaining employee performance. Combined with occupancy sensors to ensure that lighting is not left on when a space is vacant, daylight harvesting delivers savings that can meet or exceed building codes and energy-reduction goals.
automated shade controls
To achieve total light management, that same processor-based lighting control system can integrate with automated, silent, low-voltage shading systems that communicate with the lighting controls.
Shade automation is important to achieve the full energy savings and occupant comfort potential in a building. Manual shades are typically operated only to reduce discomfort. Automated shades are adjusted first for glare mitigation through an understanding of sun position and automated response, blocking direct sunlight on the task surface; they can be adjusted further through local manual override. These systems can also integrate window-based daylight sensors to open shades when they detect cloud cover or environmental shadows, providing the same protection from discomfort while maximizing views and energy savings from electric lighting and air conditioning.
In the end, no matter where your building is, how it is oriented or how much daylight enters the space, a comprehensive light control system that includes both daylight harvesting and automated shading strategies will contribute to significant energy savings, a more comfortable environment and a more sustainable building.
Brent Protzman is an energy applications leader with Lutron, a global provider of light control solutions. He is also the author of several published articles on human factors in lighting and lighting energy. Protzman is lighting certified (LC) and has a Ph.D in Architectural Engineering from the University of Nebraska.

Jeff Choma, manager of mechanical and electrical systems at Georgian College in Ontario, Canada reports 70 percent lighting energy savings using Lutron light control systems. Lighting energy savings exceeding 60 percent is frequently reported by customers using Lutron solutions as part of an overall energy-savings design program.

CHAMPIONS League officials were threatened with legal action by a franchise after making a last-minute change to playing conditions which fuelled suspicions that the tournament was favouring Indian teams.
Fearful that both semi-finals would be washed out by rain, the Champions League's governing council announced on Thursday just hours before Delhi were due to meet Highveld Lions in Durban that a reserve day had been set aside for the games.
With storms looming, the ruling provided a lifeline for the Daredevils, who faced elimination had their semi been a washout as they had won fewer games than the Lions during the group stage of the tournament.
Fairfax understands South African franchise Highveld Lions had told Champions League organisers that they reserved the right to take legal action, though that is now unlikely after they won through to the final with an upset 22-run victory over pre-tournament favourite Delhi.
The win ensures the Lions at least $US1.3 million in prize money as opposed to $US500,000 for making the semis.
Initially, there had been no reserve day in the schedule but there were provisions in the playing conditions for a winner to be determined should there not be a result due to inclement weather.
According to law 21.9.2 of the playing conditions, the winner is determined in order of priority by the number of wins in the group stage, then net run rate, and if they still cannot be separated lots are drawn.
The latest development will strengthen perceptions the Indian franchises are being favoured over teams from other countries - a claim denied by a leading tournament official.
India, with four franchises, are granted more berths than any other nation in the 10-team event, are allowed to field more international players than others and have first rights to a player should he also be contracted to another team that qualifies for the Champions League.
That enabled Brett Lee to play with Indian Premier League side Kolkata instead of the Sixers, who received $US150,000 compensation from their Indian rival.
The Indian franchises have been the disappointment of the tournament with Delhi the only IPL team to advance to the semi-finals.
The Champions League's director of legal and business affairs, Dean Kino, of Cricket Australia, rejected suggestions there had been a push from the Board of Control for Cricket in India to favour the IPL teams.
"They are perceptions that aren't founded on facts, they are narrow-minded and team-centric perceptions," Kino said.
"We do not cater for anything other than the interest of cricket, I can guarantee you that."
Kino said he could understand why some teams would feel aggrieved by the decision, saying in hindsight they should have specified a reserve day in the playing conditions, but "whatever we've done was done purely to make this tournament a better tournament and to promote cricket".
"I'm tired of the criticisms based on lack of knowledge and biases when all we're trying to do is make the tournament survive and thrive," Kino told Fairfax.
Officials started exploring the prospect of installing a reserve day earlier this week and alerted the semi-finalists of their decision on either Tuesday or Wednesday.
"Historically, this period has not been a rainy period in South Africa, so reserve days have not been scheduled, but we have been extremely unlucky in this regard," tournament director Naasei Appiah said in a statement.
Appiah later told Fairfax that there were clauses in the team participation agreement, signed by each franchise, which enabled the playing conditions to be changed if deemed appropriate.
The decision has not helped the Sydney Sixers as they would have advanced to the final if their semi against South African franchise the Titans is washed out, by virtue of having more wins than their opponent.
The bureau has forecast a chance of late showers for Friday in Centurion.
The Sixers, however, have distanced themselves from the issue.
"We're just here to play cricket, no matter what the day. We want to win as many games as we can and we will aim to do that whenever we get the opportunity," the Sixers said.

Just bringing this back to the top. More added at the bottom.
It looks like the only time we are going to be able to work on the course before the Riverpark open will be on the 28th and 29th of May. So we are calling for an all hands NUDGA work day then. We really need more workdays than that, but stuff is going on so it doesn't look like that's going to happen. If you have a weed eater or something and you want to go out and work on your own, go for it. If you are a NUDGA and you come out on the work days to play you will be harassed by those of us that will be working. Details to come. I will be bringing this to the top of this board as needed till then. Please get the word out to those that don't get on the scene. I will post a sign on the course too. It looks like we will have a skid steer out there so we will need trucks and people to haul and spread dirt and wood chips. The city did say that would try come out and mow so we need to outline all of the upper fairways. We have a new city Puplic Works Director, so we need to show him what we can do.

Challenges in the supervisory boardroom : an exploratory study in the Netherlands
Peij, Stefan & Bezemer, Pieter-Jan (2011) Challenges in the supervisory boardroom : an exploratory study in the Netherlands. In EURAM'11 Proceedings, Tallinn, Estonia.
Submitted Version
(PDF 215kB)
As a consequence of recent corporate governance reforms, the work of supervisory board members in the Dutch two-tier system has become more complex. The objectives of this study are to gain more insight in the current challenges that supervisory board members face and assess whether they are well-equipped to manage them. Based on a combination of an analysis of self-assessment reports, a web-based survey and semi-structured interviews, we conclude that the major challenges of supervisory board members lie in the field of interaction and collaboration with executives. Distinct 'challenge areas' were relatively often perceived as problematic as well as important, highlighting the need to improve the current functioning of boards. With regard to the skills that are present on supervisory boards, we find that individual qualities, like integrity, professionalism and knowledge, are better recognized than collective qualities for the supervisory board as a whole. In particular, openness and honesty are seen as important, but often lacking. The paper highlights several implications for scholars and practitioners.

Angie's List: When to remove a tree
Trees add beauty to the landscaping of any home. However, poorly maintained trees can die before their time, create personal safety hazards for your family and even cause property damage to your home.
Each year, thousands of trees in the U.S. are damaged by storms, wind, lightning and ice, causing millions of dollars in property damage.
Proper tree care is an investment that can lead to substantial returns. Well-cared-for trees are attractive and can add up to 15 percent of value to your property.
Angie's List, the nation's leading provider of consumer reviews, asked highly rated tree service companies about how to know when it's time to remove a tree.
Some signs that homeowners should look for include dead wood of either multiple branches or the trunk, poor leaf development in the crown, and discoloration and separation of the bark on the main stem. When a large branch breaks off the main tree and gets lodged within the other branches or if a significant crack is found, the tree should be removed.
• Insect infestation and disease
• Construction around the root system
• Lightning strikes
• Changing grade over root system
• Too much mulch around base
The best methods for removing trees are those used by trained arborists.
Costs for removal:
• Determined by size, location, objects around the tree (homes, fences, service wires, etc.)
• Does the tree need to be lowered in sections due to dangerous conditions with regards to dead limbs?
• Clean up/disposal.
• Stump removal is often a separate cost..
Angie's List Tips: Hiring a tree service
• Don't procrastinate: If you have trees that look structurally unsound or in decline, don't wait to have them looked at. Taking care of the issue immediately can also save you from further costs. Your trees should be inspected on a regular basis.
• Consider a certified arborist: If you have trees that are aged or diseased, an arborist can help determine what special care you might need to keep the trees and your yard in good shape. Cutting down a tree is a dangerous job and a task that homeowners should not DIY.
• Check qualifications: Don't just hire anyone with a chain saw and pickup truck – removing a tree can be extremely dangerous. Gather estimates from at least three companies and vet them thoroughly. Check for membership in professional organizations, such as the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), or the American Society of Consulting Arborists (ASCA).
Suggested Links
• Ask for proof of insurance: Make sure the company's policy adequately covers property damage and injuries that could occur on your property.
• Walk through the job: Have the contractor tag or walk through the yard with you so you know exactly what trees need work and what is being removed. Map out how the areas where the contractors will be working and how they will access those areas. Make sure you've cleared those areas of cars and other items to ensure nothing is damaged by falling limbs.
• Put it in writing: Agree to the terms and details of the project, outlined in a contract, before any work is done.

The Alexandrian – Misc Creations has an interesting take on Save or Die effects. I'm currently running 4e where there are a lot fewer of these but I may end up running Pathfinder and I'll have to review how that systems handles save or die.
The problem with save-or-die mechanics is that they bypass the ablative combat mechanics that work so well. So here's my thought: Instead of just watering these effects down, let's change the paradigm entirely and tie them into the ablative damage system.
The simplest solution is to simply have save-or-die effects deal ability score damage. For example, in my house rules all death effects deal 4d6 points of Constitution damage. If the spell has a secondary effect — such as turning the victim into a pile of dust — this effect only happens if the victim is killed by the Constitution damage. Similarly, you could have paralysis effects dealing Dexterity damage.
If I was completely overhauling the system, I would — at the very least — vary the amount of ability score damage depending on the power of the effect in question. For example, death effects might vary from 2d6 to 4d6 points of Con damage depending on whether you were talking about a 6th-level spell or a 9th-level spell.
But you can also get fancier: For example, if I were redesigning hold person I would make the spell deal 1d6 points of Dexterity damage per round until the victim made a successful save. If the victim is reduced to 0 Dex as a result of the spell, they are paralyzed (as the magical energies of the spell bind their limbs completely).
Similarly, a victim of a medusa's gaze would feel their limbs turning to stone as they medusa repeatedly inflicted them with 2d4 points of Dexterity damage.
Under this paradigm, there would be no need for a "paralysis" condition — paralyzed creatures are simply those which have been reduced to 0 Dex. Similarly, a spell like remove paralysis would just be a quick way of healing Dexterity damage.
A sleep spell would be a mental assault, inflicting 1d4 points of Wisdom damage per round until the victim makes a save or drops into a magical coma. When the sleep spell wore off, this Wisdom damage — like the damage from a ray of enfeeblement — would be restored.
Since ability score damage no longer exists in 4th Edition, this solution won't work for that game. But if I end up making the switch, I'll be looking for some similar means to change the paradigm of save-or-die effects — rather than just watering them down.

Category Archives: Family Businesses
Where do you start when contemplating the purchase of a business? If you can address the following deal points, you will be ready to move forward:
● Always Buy Assets, Not Shares of an Entity. If the business is owned by an entity, such as an LLC or a corporation, a buyer should refrain from purchasing shares or interests in the entity. Instead, the buyer should purchase the assets, such as goodwill, inventory, equipment and intangibles. This shields the buyer from liabilities, creditors, claims by disgruntled employees, etc. of the selling entity, and will generally increase future tax deductions for depreciation and amortization.

Loans to children are a frequent source of family conflict — and often instigate lucrative estate litigation projects for lawyers. Here's why.
Loan vs. Gift
There is a huge legal difference between a loan and a gift, namely that a gift does not have to be repaid. But loans may gradually mutate into gifts. For example, under Oregon law, a suit must be filed within six years to collect a debt. If no suit is filed, collection of the debt is barred by the statute of limitations. Thus, if a parent makes a loan to a child and takes no collection action for six years, the child has no legal obligation to repay and the loan has effectively become a gift. This has several consequences. First, and most important, the executor is probably barred from offsetting the child's inheritance by the amount of the loan. In other words, the loan is irrelevant when determining the child's share of the decedent's estate.

The purchase or sale of a business is always more complicated than it appears. The value is often based on fickle attributes such as business relationships and goodwill, rather than real estate or readily marketable equipment. Continue reading
