Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the completion of our building!
Groundbreaking ceremonies for the PUUF building were held on September 5, 1965, conducted by Robert Kintz, chairman of the Fellowship. The act of "turning the soil" was performed by Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Dawson, donors of the three-acre site.
While the building was under construction, members of the Fellowship erected U. S. Army surplus Quonset tents on the land for use as classrooms and meeting hall. Al fresco picnic luncheons and kite flying often followed the Sunday Services until the construction was completed in the spring of 1966. The 5,000 square foot building, circular in shape, continues to serve the congregation's needs.
It is the goal of our faith community to provide a ministry of hope and caring, for ourselves, the larger community, and the world. Palomar UU Fellowship: "Where we go to get love, where we give love, and extend love out to the world!"

The Price for Forgiveness (1 of 8) by Ernest Easley
This content is part of a series.The Seven Sayings from the Cross
The Price for Forgiveness
Luke 23.32-34
February 4, 1996
Dr. Ernest L. Easley
This morning we're beginning a new series of messages. There are seven messages in all! Messages that will take us from the death on a cross to deliverance from a tomb! Messages that will take us from the sadness of hearts to shouts of Hallelujah! From prints in his hands to praise in our hearts!
For several Sunday mornings ... we're going to be thinking under the general heading: "The Seven Sayings from the Cross."
Take God's Word please and turn to Luke 23. The good news according to Dr. Luke. We're going to begin reading in verse 32 as we learn this hour about ... The Price of Forgiveness
Let's begin reading in verse 32 -34 ... it's true .. some words live on! I read about a lady who died in Kansas and on her tombstone were these words: "I told you I was sick." Some words live on!
I read about a man who owned a restaurant for years and he was about to die. He had always been known for being stingy! As he laid on his death bed ... he began mumbling something. So .. the family leaned in to hear his final words. Very faintly he said, "Slice the ham thin" and then the died. Some words live on!
I read about a wealthy man who died and the family gathered together to hear the reading of his last will and testament. The family all sat in a circle trying to look sad as the attorney read the will. They were all anxious to learn what their portion of the pot would be.
The attorney began reading, "I, Sam Jones, having made a large fortune, being of a sound mind and proper judgment, want to reveal to my family that I spent it all." Some words live on!
But if there were ever words that lived on ... if there were ever words that lifted the weary ... it was the final words of Jesus Christ.
So .. for the next few weeks ... together .. we're going to "survey the wondrous cross on which the prince of glory died"
We're thin ...

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL/ABC News/CNN) -- It's a tale of two ships and a Caribbean cruise gone bad.
For the second time in two days, Carnival Cruise Line is dealing with a ship that's become crippled because of mechanical issues.
The cruise line said the Carnival "Legend" has become crippled after a mechanical problem with the ship's propulsion system has slowed its speed. The captain is now charting a course for Florida, skipping a stop in Grand Cayman.
Meanwhile, the Carnival "Dream" has been stranded in St. Maarten since Wednesday.
"The reason that they're stuck in port is because the emergency diesel generator is what operates their propulsion," said Sabrina Laberdesque with the U.S. Coast Guard.
The cruise line released a statement saying passengers are "safe and comfortable" and the company is in the process of flying all passengers on board the "Dream" to Florida and give them a partial refund and discount on their next cruise.
The next few scheduled trips on both the "Dream" and "Legend' Have been canceled.
The latest mechanical issues come just a few weeks after the highly publicized stranding of Carnivals "Triumph", which was stranded for several days in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico and had to be towed back to port.
Passengers on board the "Triumph" complained about no electricity, limited food supply, and overflowing toilets.
Seventeen passengers on board the "Trimuph" have now filed lawsuits against the company alleging negligence.
Carnival CEO Gerry Cahill has said in the past that safety is priority number one.
According to the United States Coast Guard Cruise Ship National Center of Expertise, all cruise ships are required to have contingency plans, a "decision support system for masters of cruise ships" for a number of possible events, including:
• Fire
• Damage to ship
• Pollution
• Unlawful acts threatening the safety of the ship and the security of its passengers and crew
• Personnel accidents
• Cargo related accidents; and
• Emergency assistance to other ships
Cruise experts say for passengers it's best to do your research before your trip. The Center for Disease Control publishes "report cards" for cruise ships where soon-to-be passengers can see the safety record of their ship as well as the health report card for their ship.
Other experts caution passengers before booking a cruise, to look at the fine print.
CNN's Clark Howard says the contract you sign when you buy a ship ticket is written to protect the cruise line, and severely limits your rights as a passenger.
Here in Carnival's ticket contract, Howard says there are a few key points as it relates to what happened on the Triumph.
Section 7(e) states the following: "If the performance of the proposed voyage is hindered or prevented by... breakdown of the Vessel... the Guest and his baggage may be landed at the port of embarkation or at any port or place at which the Vessel may call, at which time the responsibility of Carnival shall cease and this contract shall be deemed to have been fully performed."
From Section 11(d): "Carnival shall not be liable to the passenger for damages for emotional distress, mental suffering/anguish or psychological injury of any kind under any circumstances, except when such damages were caused by the negligence of Carnival and resulted from the same passenger sustaining actual physical injury, or having been at risk of actual physical injury, or when such damages are held to be intentionally inflicted by Carnival."
Thus far, there are no reports of any passengers injured aboard the ship.
If any of the Triumph passengers wants to sue Carnival, the ticket contract spells out specific circumstances and time limits under which that can happen. And they'd be going it alone in court, because in Section 13 of the ticket contract, passengers give up their right to form a class action.
With apologies to the Titanic, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Cruise ship passengers give up all kinds of other rights when they buy a ticket.
So, how do you protect yourself before getting on board the ship? Buy a third-party travel insurance policy. In fact, Carnival's ticket contract states the following in Section 6: "Carnival strongly recommends the purchase of trip cancellation insurance from your travel agent."
HLN money expert Clark Howard has a guide to travel insurance here. He says it's a must if you're going on a cruise, or any other trip or tour where you have to pay big money up front.
Clark's number one rule on travel insurance? Buy the policy from a third party, never from a cruise line or tour operator. A policy typically will run you 5% to 6% of the total cost of the trip. Clark recommends insuremytrip.com as a good place to shop for travel insurance.

The federal government has many federal loan programs designed to actively encourage homeownership sponsored by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and the Veterans Administration (VA). While a broad range of Americans take their first journeys as homeowners using these real estate loans, they primarily help those with lower incomes.
The FHA sponsors – not makes – private loans. The most common FHA loan – the 203b – lets borrowers put down as little as 3.5 percent on the purchase of a one-to-four unit primary residence.
Found a house but it needs work? Consider the FHA 203k loan. This helps borrowers purchase and renovate a home using one easy loan. The FHA also sponsors home equity conversion mortgages, loans for victims of natural disasters, graduated payment mortgages and more. Keep in mind that not every home will qualify for an FHA loan, however – strict limits apply.
Nevertheless, qualifying for an FHA loan is easier than qualifying for a non-government-sponsored loan. Lenders regularly accept applicants with credit scores in the 600s, and smaller-than-normal down payment requirements mean many homeowners find these options attractive.
Like FHA loans, VA loans also help lower income families. Qualifying is more difficult because you have to have a Certificate of Eligibility which you can only earn by serving in the military. Some exceptions apply – for example, if you are the widow of a service member who died while on active duty.
Veterans that qualify may not have to put any money down at all, and they can reuse their veteran status multiple times – provided that they paid prior VA loans in part or in full.
Both programs typically offer interest rates below what the market dictates, but closing fees may be higher – although those can be financed into the loan instead of paid up front.
If you qualify, government backed loans offer borrowers tremendous benefits. Check with the FHA and VA for additional requirements.

Finally, you need to change Project A's pom to > reference version 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT of Project B. Let me clarify a little more and see if it makes sense. The pom.xml files in SVN will all have a version like "1.0-SNAPSHOT". The official build machines will always creates a tag (svn copy) before doing a build, and then replace "SNAPSHOT" with that tag name. So in the Maven repository the pom.xml will say "1.0-tag_whatever". A developer who has checked out project A will be able to obtain the source code for project B by checking out B using the tag name that is part of B's version in its pom.xml. Any changes to B can be made locally and installed to the local repository, and yes the developer will have to go into A's pom and change it to use a snapshot of B. Since B is checked out as a tag, any change cannot be checked in directly. To make a permanent change to B in actual SVN the developer must check out the trunk (or a branch) of B, or more simply just do a svn switch. Then the change can be checked in and once the official build machine creates a new build (which also includes creating a new tag), then if project A is ready its pom can be updated to reference the new version (tag) of B.

Fergie happy with deals
By Alex Livie
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Sir Alex Ferguson says Darren Fletcher and John O'Shea deserve their new deals.Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson feels Darren Fletcher and John O'Shea are deserving of their new deals and expects Cristiano Ronaldo to sign on the dotted line in the near future.
Fletcher and O'Shea committed themselves to The Red Devils until 2009 on Friday, leaving just Ronaldo's situation to be resolved.
Ferguson claims there are a couple of minor details to be resolved with the Portuguese international but does not foresee a problem.
"There are just some small details to finalise," the Scot revealed.
Ferguson has seen O'Shea and Fletcher rise through the ranks at Old Trafford and claims he was always confident the pair would flourish at the highest level.
"We were always confident both of them would make it," Ferguson said of the pair.
"It took a long time for Darren to emerge because he had two years of injuries.
"He has done fantastically well to emerge from that start to his career but it tells you something about his character.
"He is an excellent person, with great ability, who is improving all the time."

Star Modelo B Range Report
The pistol was not without problems from being stored for so long. The detent ball in the slide stop was rusted in place, allowing the piece to lock the slide open halfway through a magazine of ammo. After soaking the slide stop in automatic transmission fluid for several days, the detent ball loosened, and the problem resolved.
I purchased the Star Modelo B to give me a pistol that had the same manual of arms as the 1911, but with a less expensive cartridge to shoot. The Modelo B is, of course, chambered in 9mm Para. The pistol is accurate, and reasonably easy to aim with the smallish sights. Trigger pull is consistent at approximately 4 pounds, with the slightest bit of creep after take-up. The pistol is capable of shooting one inch groups at 30 feet if I am up to the challenge. It has no hammer bite.
The Star Modelo B is not a 1911A1 despite it's superficial resemblance to one. The trigger pivots at the top, and has a trigger bar that actuates the sear. The thumb safety works on the hammer, not the sear, and can be engaged with the hammer cocked or down. There is no grip safety. The action of the pistol is closer to a Beretta 951 than a 1911. The firing pin protudes past the breechface with the hammer down, and would be resting on a cartridge's primer. Condition 2 is not an option with this pistol. Magazines are not widely available. I was fortunate enough to find one at a gunshow for $10. The bocote grips presently on the pistol came from The Grip Guys.
When I purchased my Star pistol, I had read all the internet rumors about soft Spanish steel. I decided for the money I could take the risk. Over the past two years this pistol has been shot a lot. It has seen well over 3000 rounds with no evidence of peening or failures. In fact, the pistol has functioned flawlessly, once the slide stop problem was resolved. I knew when I purchased this pistol that it would become a trainer for my daughter, once she was ready for 9mm. The gun has performed that job admirably. It has been a fun gun for me, and a gun to move up to for her. That's a hell of a lot of gun for $139.

Comments about this product:
First time I ever used stones in my whiskey. They just dont work that well. If you think you can drop these in and swirl and your alcohol will be just as cool as if you used ice, you are sadly mistaken. Gonna try starting with a super cool drink first and see if it keeps it cool. But as far as getting it cool, no way.

By Olivia Barker and Mary Cadden, USA TODAY
We all know Dad doesn't need another tie. Sometimes, however, he could use a decent shirt. Or a respectable pair of shoes. In time for Father's Day gift-giving, USA TODAY readers nominated style-challenged dads for makeovers; then, USA TODAY's tapped Clinton Kelly of TLC's What Not to Wear to tweak the togs and tresses of two of them. "They both need help," Kelly says.
Anton Rood, 28
The challenge:
"This man needs a makeover bad," Braden Rood says. Her husband has one uniform to accompany his always untamed mane, and it's not a particularly flattering one: He's addicted to black Hush Puppies ("he will not wear any other shoe but these — even in the summer"), the color black and, perhaps most insidiously, "manpris" — capri pants for men. (His first pair, purchased before manpris were manufactured, were Kathy Ireland from Kmart.) "He loves them so much that I even put them in my wedding vows to him," his wife says. Says Kelly, "He's got issues with everything."
The analysis:
•Problematic pants. Manpris are "a great look — if you happen to be vacationing in the south of France," Kelly says. Ratcheting Rood's sartorial transgression from misdemeanor to felony: The capris are tapered, "and tapered is always going to give you a larger-looking butt." Kelly recommends to-the-knee cargo shorts instead for a more modern look. Bonus: "The pockets are great for holding all your stuff." (Because who can really pull off the manpurse?)
•Sorry shoes. As for Rood's penchant for Hush Puppies, "a heavy shoe always sort of weighs you down and makes you look clunky," Kelly says. And pairing them with a warm-weather outfit "makes you look bizarre, like a woman wearing combat boots with a summer dress." Kelly's advice? Don't fear the "mandal" — the man sandal, that is — in woven leather or a thong style. "If he can wear manpris out in Iowa, he can wear a mandal."
•Swallowing shirt. And even though his wife didn't zero in on Rood's above-the-belt choices, Kelly did. "He's a typical American guy in one way: wearing clothes much too big (like Rood's plaid shirt) will always, always make you look sloppy. The seam, which should sit on the shoulder, is drooping halfway down the arm." Another daddy don't: an untucked hem that hangs south of the crotch. "It's never a good look," Kelly says. "It makes you look squatter because it ruins the line of the leg, and when your legs look short, you get that Oompa-Loompa type of effect." (If you must untuck, have the hem hit midhip.) Kelly suggests doing "something more fitted to the body," like a polo shirt in a bold color, "so the sleeve actually stops on the bicep," instead of swallowing it up and drowning the elbow, too.
•Untamed mane. Up top, Rood "needs to trim the shrub," Kelly says. "It's growing a little out of control." And to reduce the hair's vertical tendencies, Kelly recommends grooming cream, "just to give it a little more weight, so it's not sticking straight up." Finally, Rood should rethink the goatee: It's "kind of passé," Kelly says. If he insists on facial hair, "grow some sideburns or do the chin patch," or even a full beard. Just remember to maintain it, shearing every five to seven days. Otherwise, it "looks like a mess."
Colin Campbell, 36
The challenege:
Campbell's fashion sense can most generously be described as frat-house casual: a cacophony of clashing prints (stripes plus plaids), mismatched socks and "a bunch of really bad old T-shirts," says Lisa Campbell, who limits his color palette to navy, gray and khaki to minimize mistakes. Despite her husband's full head of hair, he regularly shoves it under a baseball cap. "It isn't unheard-of for him to want to go out on a date with me dressed in a football jersey, swim trunks and sandals." (The other week he dressed Nicholas sans pants — and sent him to school.) What's further necessitating an urgent wardrobe overhaul? Campbell recently opened shop as a mortgage broker.
The analysis:
"This guy's not making any fashion statement at all, other than looking sloppy," which means, Kelly is convinced, that his career is suffering. "When you own your own business, you really have to make sure you are bringing forward your best possible you at all times. People in his community are going to look at him at the supermarket and the movie theater, and if he's walking around in boxer shorts and T-shirts, they're going to think, 'Why am I going to get a mortgage from this guy?' "
•Anti-style, pro-shlump. But curing Campbell's anti-fashion shtick doesn't mean he must submit to a suit. In light of the San Diego area's relatively laid-back vibe, Kelly advocates today's urban, put-together ensemble: a pair of dark-wash, straight-legged jeans; a vertically striped shirt in an "interesting" color scheme; a subtle but polished suit jacket in, say, navy with a gray pinstripe and rich, tobacco leather shoes and belt. To prevent pattern and color confusion, keep the suiting neutral and allow the shirt to pop.
•Trouser travails. Or, Campbell could break up a suit the other way, Kelly says, pairing the trousers with a bold button-front shirt. Stick to a flat front. Even though pleats are headed back into fashion, they're dangerous. "You could do a single pleat because oftentimes it helps keep the crease in pants, but with multiple pleats, you're flirting with puffiness."
•Dud date duds. And have the outfit segue from daywear to date wear. Campbell's beach-ready date duds of choice? "That's just gross," Kelly says. "Give the mother of your two children a little more respect than that. Hook the woman up!"
•Kiddie cut. Lose the hat, even on weekends, and gain a good haircut and, for texture, a little lightweight hair wax, Kelly says. "He's either literally putting a bowl on his head and cutting around it or going to a barber who's losing his sight quickly." A capless existence is ideal "because you never know who you're going to bump into. When you own your own business, you're kind of working all the time. You're your own advertising for the company."

Last week fo Hillary Clinton was extremely successful. The press calls her now The queen of polls. After the laying out the plans regarding the economy, Clinton won more supporters than even before. Donald Trump has strengthened his positions, too.
Hillary Clinton now is the queen of polls, this week she won even more supporters, according to the polls. Both candidates, Democratic (Clinton) and Republican (Trump) laid out their plans for the economy. During one of his speeches, Trump said several times that Barack Hussein Obama was the founder of the Islamic State, but on Friday morning an eccentric Republican decided to get back his words and added he was just being sarcastic.
Anyway, Hillary Clinton was ahead of Trump in every swing state, the polls' statistic is accurate and up-to-date. The key battleground states were almost all of it favored Clinton. That's a great win, but it's too early to say that Trump lost. This man never give up, next week he intends to reach the status quo, say experts.
Polls results: August 14, 2016
This week's polls illustrate the situation as if the election were held today it wouldn't be much of a fight. Clinton ahead by 14% in Colorado, 13% in Virginia, 9% in North Carolina and 5% in Florida, informed NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll. Moreover, Dem. Clinton is ahead in Iowa, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
According to the national poll out Monday had Clinton 12 points ahead of Trump. The battle is going on.

Start-stop system
All engines are equipped with the efficient start-stop system. It usually stops the engine automatically when the car comes to a standstill, for example when you are waiting at a red light. The engine starts up again when the brake is released. This reduces both fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions.

Section 12. 3—Quiz: Linen Inventory and Control
Monthly linen losses.
Emergency reserve stock.
The hotel's laundry cycle.
Linen usage rates.
Laying off the laundry staff would lower the morale of other employees.
Cash from payroll savings and the sale of the hotel's current laundry equipment would not be worth the trouble of contracting out laundry services.
The purchase of an additional par of linens to cover laundry in transit by the commercial laundry would offset any immediate cash savings.
Commercial laundry operations are too unreliable to service the needs of the hotel.
Room attendants should be responsible for taking a weekly physical inventory of linens in their assigned areas.
Employees responsible for distributing linens to room attendants should also maintain housekeeping's linen discard records.
Linen storage rooms should be kept locked and special security measures should be taken with new linens that are stored in the main linen room.
Occupancy forecast reports generated by the sales department should be used to determine daily linen distribution requirements for each floor linen closet.
Post a warning on all employee bulletin boards that anyone caught stealing linen will be prosecuted.
Establish floor pars and issue linens on a daily basis only in amounts needed to bring each floor linen closet up to its par level.
Establish issuing procedures for linens based on occupancy forecasts from the sales department.
Take a physical inventory of all linens in use and in storage on a weekly basis.

Paris Saint-Germain, the only team with a perfect record, can reclaim the lead with a win at Troyes on Sunday.

Tracking Development
Steven Schopp, a New York-based developer who is working on iPhone gaming software, came up with the iPhone Application List to track the many new apps created every day. He says the Safari app-delivery model makes it "supereasy" for anyone to hop aboard the iPhone gravy train.
"It really opens up the iPhone to everyone with basic Web developer knowledge. Once you stick to Web standards on Safari, your app will work perfectly on the phone. This makes it so easy for anyone to get involved," Schopp says.
Still, the big question on everyone's mind is whether Apple will bite the bullet and release a full SDK so that more people can write native iPhone programs, much as it did with Cocoa, the object-oriented application environment designed specifically for building Mac OS X-only native apps.
Michael Gartenberg, vice president and research director at New York-based Jupiter Research, notes that most current iPhone programs are consumer focused and fill a very small niche; he also argues that the iPhone won't truly be a killer device until third-party applications can attack issues such as compatibility with Office documents, allowing the creation of Word or Excel files. "These things can be easily addressed with an SDK, but we'll have to wait to see what Apple decides to do," he adds.
Veteran developer Dave Winer, who bought an iPhone the day it hit retail shelves, isn't impressed with the Web-based application approach either. "How different the situation would be if the iPhone had a full SDK, if you could run Mac OS apps on the device, or if it had a built-in HTTP server that would allow you to browse or configure it over Wi-Fi from a Mac or Windows machine," Winer wrote on his widely read Scripting.com blog. "In other words, if it had the kind of revolutionary features and was an open platform in the tradition of Apple and the PC industry."
But could that level of openness be coming? Joe Hewitt, a software engineer who created the user interface rendering engine behind America Online's new AIM platform, believes Apple will give developers tools to tie Web utilities to different parts of the device, like the camera or the calendar app.
"They say they're going to focus on Web apps, and I believe this is going to be the main approach," says Hewitt, whose free tool iUI aids the creation of Web sites that look as if they belong on the iPhone.
Hewitt expects Apple to add Flash support to Mobile Safari, opening up the iPhone to gaming and video delivery. He also anticipates an offline caching utility similar to Google Gears so programs won't need constant connectivity.
iPhone 2.0?
The 451 Group's Zachary agrees that future iPhone updates--both to the firmware of the device and to revisions of the hardware--will find ways around the Web-delivery stumbling blocks, but he thinks it's inevitable that Apple will release an SDK to help build native iPhone software.
"Ideally, I think we'll see feature revisions with GPS to add location-based services. That will make online mapping apps much more effective. Right now, [Apple CEO Steve Jobs] is comfortable with Mobile Safari, but I think we'll see an SDK that allows native apps in some kind of sandbox to get around the security and stability fears," Zachary says.
"The guys who have dedicated their lives to building Mac apps are not going to do the Web paradigm. They will want to wait for an SDK before committing to any kind of iPhone development," he argues.
Web-based delivery could also limit iPhone application availability by making it harder for some developers to earn money with their creations.
Gartenberg believes that more native software and games will arrive, but that Apple will continue to work with a few select companies, as it has with Google and YouTube. "That's pretty much the model they've done with the iPod, where you can get third-party games, but only if you buy them directly from Apple. They're only working with select developers on those iPod games, and that's pretty much what they'll do with the iPhone," he says.
While selective development of native applications will continue--Steve Jobs has already promised an iPhone voice recorder--most of the action will be confined to Web-based applications. And that should be a good thing for mobile apps in general: Once a Facebook or a Netvibes runs on the iPhone, adapting it to operate on the next great mobile device becomes that much easier.

If you want to become the most effective and visionary entrepreneur you can be, through an action-based part-time programme, then consider the Postgraduate Diploma in Entrepreneurship (PGDE) at Cambridge Judge Business School.
The PGDE is designed specifically for experienced professionals, scientists, and technologists, as well as early-stage entrepreneurs. It leads to a qualification awarded by the University of Cambridge, but we are equally proud of the fact that 55 per cent of our alumni from 2011-2016 founded a business during or after undertaking the programme.
You will go on an entrepreneurial journey where you travel from vision to action; accelerate your progress with better odds for success through avoiding common mistakes; develop a business plan; and prepare to create a high impact venture. A critical element of the journey is peer to peer learning and interaction with your fellow students, who, like you, will be of a high calibre.
Many of our students have advanced degrees and you must have at least five years' work experience (and up to 30) to join the programme.
The programme is suitable for entrepreneurs (15 per cent of our students have already started a business before they join us and want to take it to the next level), would-be entrepreneurs (as mentioned above, 55 per cent of our alumni over the last five years founded a business as a result of working on the programme) and intrapreneurs (some of our best students join us from companies in order to bring the tools and skills of entrepreneurship back to their organisations). The part-time nature of the programme is compatible either with continued employment during the programme, or with putting an entrepreneurial vision into action during the year of study.
Admissions for entry in 2017 have now closed.
Applications for entry in September 2018 will open this October.

Philips Lighting case study: Watercare House
In the context of demonstrating good corporate responsibility, Green Star ratings have become increasingly popular with larger tenants, both public and private. To attract tenants in Newmarket, already one of the largest and most established commercial office precincts in Auckland, Watercare House had to be built to the high standard expected by big corporate tenants and reflect the growing trend for sustainable work environments.
As part of achieving the voluntary environmental Green Star certification, it was crucial that the property's lighting solutions met the NZ Green Building Council's criteria, which specify that the lighting energy load should be less than 1.5 watts per 100 lux per square metre, and controlled lighting must be applied to areas within 100 square metres. There should also be no upward light pollution outside.
There were particular challenges for both the exterior and interior of this property. The interior required a customised lighting design solution to realise the architect's vision, while the exterior required a powerful lighting solution that could illuminate the architectural facades to transform Watercare House into an eye-catching landmark at night, but without any light pollution that would compromise the property's Green Star rating or upset local residents. Exterior light fittings also needed to be invisible, as per developers Mansons TCLM's specific request.
Previous attempts to illuminate the exterior with strip lighting had not worked. Although the strip lighting was narrow enough to be concealed along the lower edges of the extruding cassette elements framing the window, the light output was ineffectual when tilting upwards and spilled too much light when the strips were tilting downwards.
"Used to illuminate iconic buildings around the world, we thought the Philips' Color Kinetics ColorGraze LED system would be perfect to bring definition to Watercare House's architectural features without causing any light spillage that might compromise its Green Star rating," says Philips Lighting Project Manager Geoff Lewthwaite.
14 Philips ColorGraze Powercore LED lighting fixtures were installed along the lower edges of the extruding cassette elements, integrated into the architecture. The nature of the ColorGraze Powercore's long source life (up to 80,000 hours) made them a perfect solution to install in the difficult-to-access location, without the ongoing maintenance concerns associated with traditional lighting sources. The use of cables and plugs that integrate both power and data also dramatically simplified installation and helped lower the total system cost.
Each ColorGraze unit projects a thin blade of colour upwards from the window frame, accentuating the building's form with a powerful stream of light. Although the ColorGraze is positioned to shine upwards for aesthetic effect, the architect was able to meet the Green Council's criteria as the precision and control of the LEDs contained the light within the window frame and did not overspill.
With a DMX or Ethernet-based lighting controller, users also have the choice to tailor the exterior lighting colour.
"For the interior of the building, we customised the lighting solution to not only provide the energy efficiency gains sought, but to also boost tenants' comfort and productivity levels," says Geoff Lewthwaite.
Philips' slim line Celino LED luminaires were fitted in the café and main foyer area to discreetly complement the architect's minimalist ceiling design. For the office spaces, Philips CoreLine LED luminaires distribute a natural light conducive to worker comfort. By using the Philips CoreLine LED, the energy consumption for each luminaire was reduced to 41w, compared to the 62w of a comparative fluorescent system. Elsewhere, Philips LuxSpace and GreenSpace LED downlights were used bringing further, substantial energy savings.
To address the NZ Green Building Council's specified need for a controlled lighting system, the Philips Actilume Wireless system was installed in Watercare House's interior. The smart technology of the ActiLume system means that state-of-the-art miniature sensors can assess the amount of natural light coming into a room, and can then dim or turn off lights accordingly. As well as sensing natural daylight, the sensors can also detect human presence, thus turning lights off when no presence is detected and turning them on again only when someone enters the room. This smart lighting solution alone reduces energy consumption by up to 35%. The Actilume sensors are built into the "Master" luminaires with 4 to 6 other "Slave" luminaires receiving the data and responding accordingly.
Watercare House received a prestigious 5 Star Green Star rating by the NZ Green Building Council which signifies 'New Zealand Excellence.' The reduction in CO² emissions and lower operating costs combined with the potential for increased employee productivity and the property's striking aesthetics are now a selling point for the property. Watercare Services, who wanted to implement an organisational culture of sustainability from the bottom up, signed on as the lead tenant, while The New Zealand Lotteries Commission and Avanti Finance have signed long-term leases.Project architect Jason Gerrand of JCY Architects says that the Color Kinetics ColorGraze are "The best night time lighting solution we've ever had on a building.
"After reading overseas studies proving the effectiveness of Philips Color Kinetics lighting and seeing for ourselves the precise, controlled lighting in action at a demonstration, we realised Philips were the ones to work with for Watercare House to achieve the Green Star."
An added bonus of the ColorGraze is its customised colour capability, which enables Watercare Services to choose from an infinite number of colour options that reflect their brand and enables tenants to schedule light shows for a day of the week, date or recurring time – for example, turning the lights green for St. Patrick's Day. Currently there is an automated colour change every 15 minutes.
The projected LED lighting enabled the architects to take advantage of the building's prominent location to enhance the building's aesthetics. With LED lighting technology's longer luminaire lifetime, the Philips LED lighting solutions installed throughout the building means reduced maintenance and fewer replacement parts, plus energy savings of up to 75% compared with traditional lighting fixtures.
"Philips Lighting has certainly delivered by ensuring that Watercare House tenants can now be guaranteed lower operating costs, higher energy efficiency and the improved comfort that comes from a 5 Green Star certification," says Gerrand.

It Be War!
July 20, 2002
By Thomas James Martin
"The shock therapy of decisive war will elevate
the stock market by a couple-thousand points. We will know
that our businesses will stay open, that our families will
be safe, and that our future will be unlimited."
Kudlow, National Review Online, June 26, 2002
"The shock therapy of decisive war will elevate
the stock market by a couple-thousand points. We will know
that our businesses will stay open, that our families will
be safe, and that our future will be unlimited."
Kudlow, National Review Online, June 26, 2002
I remember my mother telling me when I was an idealistic
teenager about a person who she called an "ignorant old man,"
who she heard say in public prior to WWII, "If it means higher
prices for corn, then let it be war!"
I could not help but think of those callous words when I
ran across the esteemed Mr. Kudlow's words, which I cited
in the epigram to this essay. Now Mr. Kudlow by no stretch
of the imagination could you be considered "ignorant" like
the poorly educated farmer my mother mentioned so many years
Mr. Kudlow is CEO of Kudlow & Co. and Economics Editor of
the National Review, a respected (by Republicans anyway) conservative
periodical. I took a couple of economics courses in college,
and I know that the subject is quite difficult even if it
still retains (somewhat erroneously) Thomas Carlyle's nineteenth
century moniker, the "dismal science."
Thus, Mr. Kudlow, you are no lightweightat least with respect
to financial theory and market savvy, and since you are a
CEO of a your own corporation, you must also be well versed
in management, and human relations. (I may have that last
bit about the human relations wrong, since in today's corporate
world, the winners are the sharks that excel at corporate
Aw shucks, Larry (May I call you, Larry), I am only a sometime
journalist and writer, but I can't help but wonder what all
those soldiers may think about your statement. Having served
one hitch in the U.S. Army, I might have felt pretty good
about keeping the "families safe," and maybe even have agreed
with some of that keeping the businesses open since that implies
keeping the breadwinners working to support their families.
However, I do know what I would have felt about elevating
the "stock market a couple of thousand points," and it probably
would have involved procreation with your self in a darkened
Now, I know playingexcuse meinvesting in--the market is
supposedly not the same as "making book" on sports action
or the "ponies," as there is research done by a whole lot
of smart peopleprobably like yourself--who attempt to time
the market and pick the securities that are on the way up
or down (since knowledgeable investors make money either way).
Then again, maybe my naiveté exceeds that of a little old
lady buying Enron stock with the last of her nest egg from
a trusted broker at Merrill Lynch.
Hey, Larry, you know; it just dawned on me--in spite of my
persistent 3rd grade view of American history and society.
People at your socio-economic level with your inside knowledge
of markets, access to the corporate "old boy" network and
good friends over at the SEC most likely only bet on sure
thingslike the fact that wars drive up the stock market.
After all, it took the entire mobilization of the country
during WWIInot to mention a few tens of million of deaths--to
end finally the Great Depression. Hey, Larry, I guess I just
made your case, didn't I?
Still, Larry, dying for one's country, making the ultimate
sacrifice for the survival of our people and our democratic
republic is one thing. I could probably have even died peacefully
while serving my country knowing that my parents were living
well and my children, eating hamburgers and fries under the
flawed economic system that some now worship as free-market
However, I don't think that I would have been exactly thrilled
to die for the greed of you and your cronies, no matter how
much it is couched in your quasi-patriotic language expressing
"that our businesses will stay open, that our families will
be safe, and that our future will be unlimited."
You go on to say in the same paragraph, "The world will be
righted in this life-and-death struggle to preserve our values
and our civilization." Since when did the upward mobility
of Dow Jones have anything to do with preserving anything
of our values and civilization other than the most crassmuch
less the gallantry of our young men, Larry?
All too often the deaths of a brave soldiers merely to preserve
entrenched political and business interests smacks of the
"rich man's war and the poor man's fight." I cannot help but
think of World War I British poet Wilfred Owens' lament:
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori
Those Latin words translate to "Sweet and glorious it is
to die for one's country." Those words are not always a lie
used by elites to rally the population around the flag; occasionally
those deaths may be necessary for the greater good.
Nevertheless, Larry, it is not sweet and glorious to die
for greed and crony capitalism. Besides, I wouldn't want to
shock my sweet, 80-year old mother with the truth of your
well-wrought words about truth, money and the "American Way."
After all, she still, in all innocence, thinks that only a
low-class, semi-literate old dirt farmer would wish for the
deaths of young men and women just to drive up the price of
Certainly, she would never in her wildest dreams believe
that a man as well-educated, well-connected, and literate
enough to write for a prestigious national magazine would
want to unleash the dogs of war just to chase a few bears
on Wall Street.
