Skinny Green Tropical Smoothie
A tropical green smoothie made with pineapple, shredded coconut and bananas, then blended with spinach, light coconut milk and Greek yogurt. High in Vitamin A, B-6, C, Manganese and fiber.
I've been really addicted to green smoothies since I first tried them, some of you may remember the Skinny Green Monster made with spinach bananas and peanut butter… so good! I got my friends and family members hooked in it too! It's amazing how you can't taste the spinach, and every time I have one I try making it different.
This tropical version has been on my mind for some time, I just love the combination of pineapple and coconut, and the sweet bits of shredded coconut give each sip an Island flair. I've also added mango, flax seeds, papaya would be good too! You can leave the yogurt out and add a bit more coconut milk to make it dairy-free. Enjoy!!

South Fayette adopts a preliminary budget
School directors in South Fayette voted 6-0 to adopt a $43,373,013 preliminary expense budget with a millage rate of 24.6361 for the 2013-14 school year. The preliminary revenue budget is at $40,911,142. School directors Teresa Burroughs, William Newcomer and William Sray were absent from the meeting.
Last year's expense budget was $37,564,812 with a millage rate of 28.8 mills. This year's preliminary millage rate of 24.6361 is adjusted because the school district cannot take a windfall from this year's assessment increases. District Director of Finance Brian Tony said the district is limited to the 2012 index of 2.1 percent and that the adjusted millage rate without taking it to the index and without any exceptions would be 23.8311 mills. However, the board voted to increase revenues by the 2.1 percent index, or 0.500 mills and voted to apply for the Public School Employees' Retirement System Contribution (PSERS) exception, which would allow millage to be increased by another 0.3050 mills. Tony said the district did not qualify for special education exceptions as it had last year.
Tony also said at the Feb. 19 meeting that the budget will continue to change.
"It's just a placeholder. We know it can continually change," he said. By state law, the district has to submit its preliminary budget to the Department of Education by Feb. 24. By Feb. 28, the district also has to publicize a notice of intent to file for referendum exceptions.
Intermediate School
The board voted unanimously to purchase the furniture for the new Intermediate School at a cost of $594,503. Superintendent Dr. Bille Rondinelli said that the district had budgeted $800,000 for the furniture. The board also voted in favor of an $1,800 change order for darker paint colors in the new school's three STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) room.
The board discussed other change orders for the STEAM rooms. One option for the STEAM rooms is to have laser-cut flooring installed at a total cost of about $28,000 for all three rooms. Another option is to have random colored floor tiles installed, which would be a cost of $7,600 total. The board is expected to make a decision on the floor at its Feb. 26 meeting.
Also at the Feb. 19 meeting, the board approved a $7,601 change order for the installation of magnetic door hold-opens in the new school, which are a fire safety measure.

Gun Appreciation Day in poor taste
Gun Appreciation Day in poor taste
"The height of insensitivity" is the phrase that comes to mind in consideration of the January 19 "Gun Appreciation Day" rallies held throughout the nation in direct response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School atrocity and ensuing drive to establish universal background checks for those who seek to acquire a firearm and to enact modest restrictions and regulation on the ownership of the most lethal weapons and ammunition.
The gun enthusiasts/Second Amendment absolutists tell us that this is a time of "the most grave" threat to gun ownership since the signing of the Bill of Rights, to which I respond, "I beg your pardon?" Who, pray tell, has proposed sending federal marshals door to door to confiscate three hundred million firearms or even enacting legislation which prohibits one from purchasing virtually any weapon?
How do proposals to institute a universal background check, close the gun show loophole, and ban weapons that are designed solely to mow down human beings in rapid fire infringe on anyone's Second Amendment right to hunt and protect his or her home?
Those who demonstrated in support of gun rights on their day of coalescence are serving to say, "Drop dead" to the majority of Americans that seek reasonable, sensible, modest restrictions on ownership of the most lethal weapons and ammunition and measures that are designed to keep weapons out of the hands of felons and the mentally unstable.
I wonder how the gun toting protesters would be received in Newtown, Conn., if they appeared there to rub salt in the wounds of a grieving citizenry. Would there be any parent or other family member of a massacre victim that would endorse their efforts and stand by their side? I doubt it. I suspect the demonstrators would be run out of town.
President Obama was widely condemned and vilified when he stated within his 2008 campaign for president that white working class voters "cling to guns ...," yet the accuracy of his statement has been demonstrated time and time again, particularly in recent days. Are the demonstrators not saying, "You bet we cling to our guns!"?
It is interesting to note that the animosity of gun enthusiasts is targeted at the president, one who has all but ignored the issue until the event that changed all of us, Newtown, Conn.'s day of infamy. Has it been forgotten that conservative Republican President Ronald Reagan, a victim of horrific gun violence, supported a ban on assault-style weapons? Is he being tarred by the gun forces as a good for nothing liberal/Communist as well?
A caller to a local radio talk show stated his concern for the president's safety, given the hatred for him that has been manufactured over the gun issue. I am not a supporter of President Obama's on most issues, particularly on fiscal matters, and I did not vote for him, but as a patriotic American that celebrates our democratic system of governance and the peaceful transition of power, I share this fear. He is our president, duly elected, the only one we have, and I want him to live. What he now proposes to do regarding guns is not something from another universe – it reflects the will of the majority of the American people.

As Eldor could be one of the two SDCC Exclusive, what are your speculations about the guardian of the book of living spells ?
- -> I hope the book will have Holograms inside (as it was announced in the 1987 Mattel catalog )
- -> The Head could be a re-use of King Randor and the body could be re-used for a count marzo.

I really think he needs jazzing up. The original figure looks so bland and terribly boring. I wouldn't want him to be unrecognisable as Eldor, but a few extra details and such would make him really stand out.
A holographic book would be awesome, plus some other bio related accessories that tie him to He-ro.

I always thought Eldor could be a nice choice for the next exclusive since it would follow a trend. I mean with Grayskull, He-Ro was mentioned in his bio. So it lead us to believe that He-Ro was a possiblity! Now Eldor was mentioned in He-Ro's bio. So could he be next? That's what I'm hoping! But then again, They did say that there was 2 MOTUC exclusive this time at SDCC? What if it's a He-Man and Superman 2 pack? Superman could be the celebrity!

Not overly crazy about Eldor from what I've been able to find on this site but done right by the 4H and he'll end up in my collection. Plus being outside the US not likely to ever get to the big Con seeing what's out at the SDCC is more painful then anything.
I like the oversized book from the original proto (Its his unique accesory and no other character have a weapon like this).
I hope it gets several holograms / pictures inside.
Also hope the book have a stand to make it the effect of a flying book.
I truly hope we'll get Eldor soon ! Another important character that was never released, and he could be done pretty easily.
His legs/boots could be reused for Snout Spout.
I don't want his face to look like Randor's, though. And a book with holograms would be cool, in my opinion...
Eldor would amazing, it's a very nice figure and I have no doubt that the 4HM can update him to look fantastic!
And besides the accessory hologram book, he could came with a real book, with all the motu history or eternia secrets or a mini-comics collection or something else like thisl!!
I think the SDCC figure will be him indeed
A bit predictable, but I'd be happy with him. Hope he's gets a staff as well as the book.

Why does every line have exclusive figures anyhow(or numerous), makes it IMPOSSIBLE for collectors' such as myself to complete the line! Even readily available pieces are such a pain with the price at times...
He-Ro is one of the cheapest MOTUC figures on eBay right now. As long as Mattel makes future exclusives in similar numbers, we'll be alright. And King Grayskull is coming back in 2010 so anyone that missed out doesn't need to pay eBay prices.
Would a knowledgeable org member please fill me in on the bio for ELDOR? I just don't know this character. (I can quote Filmation episodes, but that's the extent of my knowledge!)

When did TG talk about the SDCC exclusives (IE there being two of them, and one being a "celebrity"? Can someone put a link to that thread or article or whatever? Thanks.
Also, I more or less assume that Eldor will be the SDCC exclusive, so while I do want the figure I'd be more excited if we learned it was something totally unexpected.

Episode 3 out of a 6 part special filmed in New Orleans, our intrepid host Jeremy Chapman is joined by Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Exchange experts Mark Kashman and Bharat Suneja to share an overview the very latest in integrated Enterprise Search, eDiscovery and Data Loss Prevention to harden your data protection. See how these technologies work across both Office 365 Cloud implementations and your on-premises Office stack to help save users and organizations proactively and reactively from themselves while helping to reduce the complexity of discovery and high costs of legal review due to compliance audits.
Jeremy: So our last show got quite a reaction by way of offering an exclusive first look deep dive on the upcoming real-time co-authoring capabilities with Office Web Apps which we demonstrated in Word, Excel and PowerPoint. This was the first time that we had showed the pre-release code capabilities. You can continue to catch that show here or by visiting the Garage Series show channel.
For our latest New Orleans show special, I'm joined by SharePoint and Exchange experts Mark Kashman and Bharat Suneja to take a look at another important topic, the very latest in data protection with eDiscovery and Data Loss Prevention across Cloud and Hybrid environments.
Mark: That's right, data lives everywhere and the foundation to any data hardening and compliance strategy is to be able to locate key sources of data wherever they may be and you'll see that not only are we making it so you can quickly discover content through key word searches across the Office stack with integrated enterprise search (formally FAST), but we've also greatly enhanced your ability to preserve content versions with eDiscovery and the new eDiscovery Center in SharePoint which allows you to perform in-place holds on SharePoint content, email in Exchange, saved Lync conversations etc.. This means users cannot manipulate or change data from an earlier point in time, and while we can put a document version on hold, we can do this without impacting the ability for the user to continue to be productive.
SharePoint eDiscovery Center showing unified search, filters, statistics, on-hover previews, and tabs for the various sources and content type – from an example "Northwind Traders" case.
Jeremy: This is pretty game changing – I know that for a typical audit it could previously take months to discover the data sources and then you were at risk of the data source being obscured or changed.
Mark: Yes we can now get a real-time response but the other thing that is significant is when you go to export documents and assets we aim to help reduce the footprint. If you consider that the cost of legal review is sometimes $10,000 per GB, these advances mean you can now minimize the volume of what gets reviewed without having to first export everything, saving a ton of time and money in lawyer's fees wherever there is a suspected issue.
Once you discover data in an audit and use an in-place hold, the original file is preserved in that state in the preservation hold library. Even a SharePoint Site Administrator cannot modify the file and edits made in the Preservation Hold Library will result in another instance of the file. That is why you see two links to what appears to be the same file in the demo on the show. Then once you narrow in on the required content, you export it in a standards based EDRM XML format once from across the entire Office stack – not multiple time from various silos.
Jeremy: So we had a bit of fun showing how this all works with SharePoint online and the eDiscovery center on the show. It was great to see what you can do reactively from a data compliance/protection perspective, so then we looked at what you can also put in place more proactively from a data protection perspective with the new Data Loss Prevention capability in Exchange.
As we were in New Orleans we did this New Orleans style and tested whether or not Exchange Online could stop a smoking gun email leaving the organization as our test study Mr. #dealwithit tried to send out his boss's credit card details.
Before you get too trigger-happy in the comments section with other ways to communicate the credit card number, we all know he could have used a plethora of other means to succeed in his task – but this is an example of how Data Loss Prevention rules can be set up to work to prevent the worse from happening within the corporate domain. It not only helped train our user, but it also blocked the offensive message at the backend using the new transport rules enabled via Data Loss Prevention.
Bharat: Yes that guy definitely needed to be saved from himself, and in this particular case, he was behaving a little drunk and malicious and not using his best judgment. Most users on the other hand, don't try and send stuff out maliciously. That's why we have Outlook Policy tips to focus users on going the right thing. But we can also set up custom policies which we demonstrate on the show.
This is pretty powerful as you saw it means that even where Outlook tips are overlooked by the user we can forcibly stop data leaving the organization by email via the Exchange back-end, by setting up custom rules, which are like transport rules but a lot more sophisticated and allows for deep content inspection. Exchange now in fact ships with thousands of templates to assist with this.
When you create DLP policies, you can include rules that include checks for sensitive information. The conditions that you establish within a policy, such as how many times something has to be found before an action is taken. Sensitive information rules are integrated with the transport rules framework by introduction of a condition that you can customize. Exchange also supplies policy templates that already include some of the sensitive information types. A list of what is supplied in-box is provided here.
Jeremy: So eDiscovery and Data Loss Prevention are two major advancements with the new Office, to help with data hardening and compliance. But there's also a lot more to it such as Windows Azure Active Directory Rights Management Services for file-level security, and Exchange Active Sync for device management and security, both of which we'll cover more on future shows. So what are next steps that our viewer/readers can take?
Mark: If you want to go deeper into eDiscovery, dive into this "What's new in eDiscovery" article, and then I would suggest beginning to Plan for eDiscovery to understand how it can best serve the needs and compliance requirements of your organization.
Bharat: TechNet's library for Data Loss Prevention is a great place to start – the important point though is that with templates and such we are making it a whole lot easier to implement policy and so this should be mostly a no-brainer for both seasoned and new Exchange administrators out there.
Jeremy: Great, thanks Mark and Bharat, I look forward to having you back on the show as we cover more topics on SharePoint and Exchange in future. Data Loss Prevention and eDiscovery along with Windows Azure Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) provide excellent proactive and reactive security for data. We'll dig a bit deeper into Windows Azure AD RMS in a future show. Our next show will take a look at the new Fasttrack tools and process for speeding up time to value for Office 365 inside of your organization. If you think that it is slower or more complex to get the new Office tenant deployed inside of your organization – think again!
Bye for now,
Jeremy Chapman, Mark Kashman and Bharat Suneja

The fate of sealed court records outlining a legal settlement between a Mt. Pleasant Township couple and a group of gas drilling companies is in the hands of Washington County President Judge Debbie O'Dell Seneca.
The judge said Friday she will review arguments and previous court records before determining whether to unseal records of court proceedings involving Stephanie and Chris Hallowich and Range Resources, MarkWest Energy Partners and Williams Gas/Laurel Mountain Midstream.
The Observer-Reporter and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette are seeking to have the records unsealed, contending they contain pertinent information and should be open to public review.
The gas companies want the records to remain sealed, claiming that an court order opening would jeopardize all legal settlements containing a confidentiality clause.
"If you allow the newspapers to open this up, you are infringing on every attorney's right to negotiate confidential agreements," said attorney Phillip J. Binotto Jr., who spoke in court on behalf of all the gas companies.
O'Dell Seneca, however, responded by pointing out sealing of a settlement does not necessarily mean it will never be subject to opening.
"I always give cautionary instruction to attorneys in cases that want a settlement sealed," she said.
Former Judge Paul Pozonsky sealed this particular case immediately after it was settled Aug. 23, 2011, ending the civil lawsuit in which the Hallowiches claimed that nearby drilling operations, a compressor station and a gas processing plant made their property that they purchased in 2005 worthless and posed health risks to their family. The Hallowiches gained national attention and even were the subject of a CBS News report.
During the August 2011 session, a P-G reporter openly objected to the sealing of the settlement. The newspapers contend sealing the record is in violation of the common law rights of the media.
On Sept. 6, 2011, the P-G petitioned the court to intervene, and the O-R joined the petition.
Pozonsky contended the newspapers should have sought to intervene in the case before final action was taken to seal the settlement. He also explained that sealing of the settlement was done in an effort to protect the Hallowiches' two minor children, who were part of the lawsuit.
The newspapers appealed Pozonsky's decision with the Superior Court, which after review, found the judge had erred when he denied the newspapers a chance to at least present their arguments for unsealing of the legal settlement.
Pozonsky suddenly resigned last summer amid rumors that he was the subject of a state grand jury investigation.
Last fall, the Superior Court ordered the matter be returned to the county court for another judge to conduct a formal hearing and review arguments regarding the matter.
With the Superior Court's decision, attorneys for the newspapers argued Friday the burden now shifts to the gas companies to present information that "overcomes presumption of openness."
Post-Gazette attorney Frederick N. Frank also argued that while the records supposedly were sealed to protect the minors, the Hallowiches have issued legal statements that they have no interest in the current court proceedings.
"If confidentiality is such an essential term of the agreement, why aren't the Hallowiches here defending it?" Frank asked.
A few months after the Hallowiches' case was settled, the couple filed an emergency petition for limited unsealing of the court record after Range Resources reported in a deed transfer that it paid $550,000 for their property. The Hallowiches claimed that amount was false under the agreement.
Pozonsky denied the Hallowiches' request on a legal technicality of failing "to attach a statement of verification from counsel or the parties as required by Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure."
But, before a decision was announced, many details of the settlement was discussed orally and in written briefs, said Frank, who then questioned why now the companies are refusing to open the court records.
O'Dell Seneca said she would take all the information of advisement and will review all judicial records in the case once she receives them from the Superior Court.

Bethel Park school bus drivers approve a compromise
Members of the union which represents the Bethel Park School District bus drivers have approved a compromise position offered by the district, according to a union representative.
"(The membership) overwhelming approved (the compromise)," Richard Caponi, director of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees District Council 84, said of the May 30 vote.
The union represents the district's 79 bus drivers, mechanics and bus aides, who have been working under the terms of a contract that expired in 2011.
Caponi said the school board will vote on the proposal on June 10. Due to an agreement with the district, he refused to cite specifics of the agreement, but said that if the proposal is accepted by both parties, the option of the district outsourcing the busing is "off the table."
"The district will not be making any public comments regarding the transportation negotiations until the board takes official action," said Vicki Flotta, district director of communications.
Flotta did confirm that, if an agreement is reached, outsourcing will not occur.
The board has scheduled a special meeting for general purposes, along with its finance committee meeting, for 6:30 p.m. June 10.
District officials, who said their transportation budget for the 2012-2013 school year was $4.2 million, have been very open about the fact that they have sought a bid from First Student, an independent student transportation company that provides busing for many districts. However, board members have said that their decisions on the negotiations with the union have nothing to do with outsourcing transportation
Parents, citing their trust in the current employees as well as the bonds between their children and the drivers and aides, have spoken adamantly against outsourcing.
On April 29, union members accepted a mediator's fact-finding report. School board members offered the compromise position and rejected the report.
According to the report, which is posted on the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board website, among the issues that were still separating the two parties were wages, time off, the definition of what constitutes a full-time employee and healthcare benefits.

On Friday, October 14, USAID Administrator Raj Shah heads to Atlanta, Georgia to meet with leaders from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and to give a speech at Morehouse College.
On October 13, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), in partnership with Catholic Relief Services and its implementing partners Save the Children and Joint Aid Management, launched the Jonglei Food Security Program to support communities and the government of South Sudan in addressing the root causes of food insecurity throughout Jonglei State.
Today, U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Deputy Administrator Donald Steinberg swore in Dr. Barry K. Primm as the new Mission Director for Sudan. He is the first Mission Director to lead USAID's assistance to Sudan following the secession of South Sudan in July, when the former Sudan field office in Juba was designated the new USAID Mission in South Sudan.
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) through its Bureau for Food Security (BFS) has made great strides in fulfilling USAID's leadership role in the President's Feed the Future initiative. As the initiative moves forward, the importance of science and research is taking on an even larger role.
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Feed the Future Deputy Coordinator for Development Tjada McKenna and Paul Weisenfeld, the USAID Bureau for Food Security Assistant to the Administrator, will travel to Des Moines, Iowa, during the week of October 10, 2011 to participate in events surrounding the World Food Prize (WFP) and Borlaug Dialogue international symposium.

Washington City Mission is on the move, literally.
This week, a Mid Mon Valley Transit Authority bus took to the streets bearing a wrap advertising the City Mission, its services and its recycling and donation efforts, hopefully reaching a whole new audience in Washington and Allegheny counties, said Jerry Oxford, director of operations for the mission.
"We're asking people to ride the bus with the City Mission," Oxford said.
Each day for the next two years, the bus will make two trips from Donora through the Mon Valley and into Pittsburgh. The route will take the City Mission into areas where it has never been before.
"It definitely gets our name out there," said Dean Gartland, mission president and chief executive officer.
The sides of the bus feature photos of City Mission employees at work, while the nonprofit's mission statement is on the front and back. The advertisement was designed by Sign-A-Rama of McMurray.
The mission is a homeless shelter at 84 W. Wheeling St., Washington. It's goal is to "end homelessness one life at a time."
To fund its goal, the mission operates a successful recycling business and five thrift stores in Washington, Canonsburg, Donora, Monongahela and Waynesburg. A sixth store in Rostraver Township is in the planning stages.
While the bus venture is innovative, it is also costly, according to Oxford. That's why the mission is seeking business sponsors to help offset the costs but at the same time sharing in on the great exposure as sponsors' names are placed on a prominent spot on the bus.
"We'll use their logos, names and phone numbers ... they'll ride with us for the two years," Oxford said.
He added, "It's another way to build relationships. It helps them to help us."
Any business wishing to become a sponsor on the City Mission bus can call Oxford at 724-222-8530.

The Benefits of Home Security Systems In Jaroso, Colorado
You may think that the benefits of a home security system are pretty clear to see. So why have so many people not taken the time, money or effort to invest in securing their biggest asset, their home?
The statistics tell much of the story when it comes to choosing whether or not to implement an up to date home security system and some of them are pretty shocking.
The key statistics as reported by safeguardtheworld.com are as follows:
- There are up to 2 million burglaries reported each year in the US.
- Almost 66% of all burglaries in the US are at domestic properties
- Homes without security systems increase the risk of burglary up to 300%
The final statistic there is the key one. Ultimately, a home security system is a deterrent to intruders and the smart home automation systems that are on the market today make it increasingly difficult for burglars and much easier for home owners and savvy renters to protect their assets.
In addition to the feeling of safety and protection that comes with the installation of a home security system, there comes a host of other benefits.
Personal Safety Brings Peace Of Mind
Having shelter is a basic need of survival – just like feeling safe. The peace of mind that a home alarm system provides is priceless when it comes to feeling safe and secure in your own home.
No more sleepless nights worrying about the noise coming from down the hall.
No more creeping down the stairs in the middle of the night because you thought you heard a strange noise just to find a dripping tap.
Being able to rest easy is important for everyone – and this benefit of home security systems cannot be underestimated.
Fire and Carbon Monoxide Alarms
Many smart home automation systems now include fire and carbon monoxide detection systems so you don't need to worry about installing a separate system. Carbon Monoxide is a silent killer and there is no excuse for not having a fire alarm. Some systems will even automatically contact the emergency services in the case of detection – something that could save your life or the life of a loved one. Priceless.
Lower Cost Homeowners Insurance
Running a home is a costly affair and every expense adds up. A significant benefit of installing a home security system is that it is most likely going to reduce your homeowner insurance premiums. Insurance companies are all too aware of the fact that without a security system your home is 300% more likely to be targeted by burglars – therefore it stands to reason that they will offer reduced rates for homeowners who have taken steps to reduce the risk posed to their homes.
Protect Your Belongings
On average, each of the estimated 2.5 million burglaries that take place across the United States cost the homeowner in the region of $1,700. Not only are you reducing the risk to your personal safety when you implement an effective home security system but you are also protecting yourself financially. In addition to the cost of replacing personal possessions you are also likely to see an increase in insurance premiums should you need to make a claim. What about those items of sentimental value? You can't replace those, so minimizing the risk should be a top priority.
What is Smart Home Automation?
Smart home automation is often referred to as the 'internet of things'. But what does this mean? In a nutshell, smart home automation is the notion that almost every aspect of our homes has it's own IP address – its own way of communicating with a network that you control.
From security to energy management and from surveillance to entertainment; smart home automation systems are designed to be practical, useful and fun.
In most home automation setups there will be a central control panel located within the home that will offer the homeowner complete control over the various automated systems that they have installed. Often these are configured by the homeowner who chooses a home automation system that meets their needs. This is particularly useful if the homeowner is on a budget and just wants to start off with the necessities but may want to add to the network at a later date.
It could be likened to buying a computer and then upgrading the graphics card at a later date. The core is still intact but the system has been improved.
So what exactly can a smart home automation system do?
The honest answer to the question is that there are now very few limits to what a home automation system can do. Of course, the cost will vary depending on what features you require but the most common uses of a home automation system include:
- Outdoor and doorbell cameras
- Central control panel
- Video recording
- Smart locks
- Garage door controls
- Element thermostats
- Water pressure monitors
- Music streaming systems
- Environment management
- Lighting controls
Remote Management
One of the key features of modern home automation systems is the way we control them. The popularity of smartphones has paved the way for mobile devices (and more specifically – mobile apps) to provide the perfect platform to control our homes from. Gone are the days of needing a bulky desktop computer to do this job – now our palm sized cell phones have the power and usability to enable us to have convenient and on demand control over how our homes are run.
Can Home Automation Actually Save You Money?
There is no doubt about it – home automation is fun. It is also pretty convenient. But can it actually save you money? The energy efficiency element of the home automation can certainly help you save energy and although the standard thermostats in your home will effectively do the same job, it is the instant nature of home automation that can really help drive costs down – add to this the simplicity and ease at which you can control temperatures and monitor for water leaks and you will soon start to see how the potential savings can stack up.
How Alarm Systems Have Evolved
Most of us will know of older generations who commonly use phrases such as 'we never used to have to lock our doors back in our day', and it is certainly true that security was far less of an issue in the early twentieth century than it is today – but then there were perhaps other things to worry about!
Post World War 1 was when the onset of crime and particularly burglaries really started to increase. An increased awareness amongst American citizens led to an increased demand for home security systems with basic alarm systems being the highest in demand. There was also a programme that went by the name of 'door shakers' that meant people who subscribed to the programme would have their door checked each night to ensure it was locked. However, even back in the 1940's, the more advanced home alarm systems would raise an audible alarm through the use of a battery and a bell and a series of electromagnets attached to doors and windows to raise an alarm should there be an intruder.
By the 1970's we saw the introduction of video surveillance systems but nothing like the unobtrusive systems that we might have today.
Quite the contrary.
The video alarm systems in the 1970's and 1980's consisted of very bulky motorized cameras that sent a live signal to a video monitor (usually located in the home) but the images were generally lacking in quality and were not recorded.
The term 'smart home' was originally coined in 1984 (which just so happens to coincide with the aptly titled book about video surveillance) but it wasn't until the mid 1990's when Garentechnology was introduced in homes of the elderly that we really saw smart home automation that even slightly resembles what we know of today.
By the turn of the millennium the term 'domotics' had been created to mean the connection of domestic appliances to robots and computers but a lack of investment and a high cost of research meant that this never really took off.
In 1998, the UK led the way with home automation and introduced the first smart home that had fully automated heating, security, lighting, door and garden systems. This home, owned by a cell phone company, led the way for further research and crucially showed that there would be a demand for such innovation in domestic property.
The advent of mobile internet, being connected everywhere and the technological advances with smartphones (that are effectively mini computers) means that the platform is now set for home automation systems to move to the next level. Many people would argue that we are already there – after all, not so long ago we would never have imagined that we might be able to talk to a system and tell our lights to dim – and they actually do it. In fact, 22 years ago, Amazon had only just been founded – now we talk about Amazon Echo and most of us know exactly what it does!
Home Security Cameras in Today's World
In George Orwell's novel 1984 (written in 1949) the idea of omnipresent government surveillance is a principle theme. The technology did not exist, but perhaps this brilliant piece of dystopian literature started to light the imaginations of the world's greatest minds who went on to create the home security cameras in today's world.
Gone are the obtrusive, low quality cameras of even decades after Orwell's masterpiece. Now there are so many options to choose from that it is almost an embarrassment of riches – with the exception that you don't need to be rich to own a home security camera.
Remember, homes that do not have a security system in place carry a 300% higher risk than homes that do. So purchasing a home security camera is a sound investment to make and one that is easier than ever to do.
To take an in depth look at some of the top home surveillance cameras on the market today, we thought we would focus on Vivint – our favoured smart home automation provider.
Vivint Ping Camera
This discreet device allows you to place it anywhere in your home so you can check in at any time and from anywhere you have an internet connection. The high quality camera can be viewed in real time and can also provide smart clips (20 seconds of footage) for up to the last 45 days. If it's dark then that's no bother either – the night vision mode will enable you to check in no matter what time zone you are in and at a time that is convenient to you.
Vivint Doorbell Camera™
Possibly the least obtrusive camera that money can buy. This camera sits in the doorbell and is hardly noticeable except for the luxury finish. The device that provides super high quality video will even detect when someone approaches your front door and stream the footage straight to your phone.
The camera is a wide angle 180 degrees and is perfectly clear whether it is day or night with it's built in night vision. It has a built in microphone and speaker so you can interact and speak back and forth using the microphone on your mobile phone – this is a seriously beautiful piece of kit and as well as deterring unwanted visitors it will create a seriously good first impression for the visitors you do want.
Vivint Outdoor Camera
The outdoor camera is the classic. It is the one that really sends out a statement to a potential burglar. Big enough to see but small enough to be unobtrusive or impact negatively on the exterior design of your home, the outdoor camera is the ultimate in home security and burglary prevention.
The Vivint Outdoor Camera provides full high definition video footage and can again be viewed live or viewed via the on demand 20 second smart clips. One of the best features of this outdoor camera is the motion detection that alerts you via an update on your mobile phone if motion is detected.
You can record 24 hours a day, 7 days a week if required and then go back and view the entire history if required. Night vision means that no matter what time of day you have a potential problem, every moment will be captured on the device.
The Vivint System
The Vivint home automation and security system is right up there with the best and you can tailor your system to your exact requirements. From smart phone app to every type of camera you could possibly need, you will not be left wanting with Vivint. Vivint SkyControl™ is installed in your home is the final piece of a complete system that really sets a new standard in home automation and security.

Police say the sound of a train whistle apparently became too much for a Monongahela woman who allegedly parked her car on the tracks Friday night so it would get hit by a train.
Bridgett H. Dixon, 42, of 307 1/2 Park Ave., was arrested about 11:30 p.m. after Monongahela police found her 2001 Plymouth Neon parked in the middle of the tracks at the Second Street crossing.
Police initially were called to the Sheetz on East Main Street, not far from the crossing, for a report of a woman yelling that she had just gotten her car stuck on the tracks and wanted a clerk to call police.
As police were responding, they saw the car. The driver's door was open. There were no keys in the ignition. Police said the car didn't appear to be stuck or disabled, but rather just parked in the middle of the tracks.
Dixon reportedly told the responding officer that she was tired of trains going through town, blowing their whistles, when she is downtown and on the telephone. She allegedly told police that she left the car on the middle of the tracks so the train would hit it and she could find out who was "driving the train," according to the criminal complaint.
"I guess she was sick and tired of hearing the horn blowing," police Chief Brian Tempest said Monday. "But she doesn't even live that close to the tracks. And the whistle doesn't blow unless the train is coming up on an intersection."
Tempest said there is one branch of tracks that runs near Dixon's home, but it hasn't been used for years. The chief said police have had contact with her in the past, but never regarding complaints about trains.
Dixon was arraigned before District Judge Curtis Thompson on charges of risking a catastrophe, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness. She was released from the Washington County jail Saturday afternoon after posting $5,000 bond. A preliminary hearing is set for March 26 before District Judge Mark Wilson.

Two women from Hughesville, Md., were killed Saturday when their car was struck by a tractor-trailer that crossed the median on Interstate 70 in South Strabane Township and pushed it through a guardrail and over a hillside. The Washington County coroner's office identified the women as Karen Leigh Babka, 57, and Kaitlin Y. Babka, 21, both of Wood Glen Drive. The cause of death for both was multiple injuries.
The driver of the tractor-trailer, Yevgeniy Bugreyev, 44, of West Sacramento, Calif., is in Washington County Jail on $1 million bond, charged with two counts of homicide by vehicle. A third vehicle struck the tractor-trailer after it crossed from the westbound lane and overturned in the eastbound lane about 11:30 a.m. Saturday. Four people in that vehicle were injured. The interstate was closed for about six hours, causing major traffic tie-ups.

Question: What happens when you really tighten your belt?
If you are at all like me, there is fine layer of bacon and whiskey that balloons out above the belt line.
OK, maybe your belly bulges with butter and beer or broccoli and wheat grass but, the tighter the belt, the more inflationary the bulge. It's simple cause and effect; as pregnant women in Spanish-speaking countries say, "Panza que avanza."
As metaphorical belt-tightening puts a grim outlook on summer adventures this year, it's unlikely many people will think paying $225 for a balloon is a very sound idea. Especially a balloon you can't keep. And, until recently, I would have agreed.
But then I took a ride in a hot-air balloon. It's something I've been tempted to do for years, but it often seemed expensive or felt too touristy or just plain ridiculous and excessive. But it's none of those things. Instead, it's an easy way to have what the writer and monologist Spalding Gray called "a perfect moment."
Whenever Gray traveled, he would become desperately anxious about having an experience that would shock him out of self-awareness and become the embodiment of his travel, his motive for existence—a kind of quiet, metaphysically affirming, exhilaration of the soul. If you're inclined to look for such a thing, hot-air ballooning is pretty much cheating.
Of course, I was skeptical up to the last minute.
For starters, I'd seen David Sedaris read in Albuquerque the night before. He was mediocre. His life experience, once such fruitful material, has become almost entirely confined to touring and self-promotion, which made the reading oddly narcissistic for both Sedaris and the audience.
I followed up the letdown with some unremarkable Thai food, climbed on my motorcycle toward midnight and chased a cold front and a rainstorm all the way to Taos, arriving around 2 am. So when I woke up at 5 am in order to meet the crew of the Pueblo Balloon Company 45 minutes later, I was entirely prepared to be sleepily underwhelmed. Such a condition is not improved by pre-packed hotel coffee or enthusiastic balloon pilots who are in the habit of getting up well before dawn and think it's just the greatest thing ever.
We drove out through Arroyo Hondo, crossed the Rio Grande at the little-known Dunbar Bridge, and snaked up an old stage coach and cattle trail to a perch on the west side of the Taos Gorge. The sun was standing up over Taos Mountain and the previous night's storm had left the sky clear and the morning crisp and beautiful. So my mood was improving.
By the time the balloon was unfurled and it began to inflate with air and hot gasses urged on by huge bursts of flame, I was downright perky. But my spirits fell as the balloon swelled to reveal the words "Easy Springs Casino."
"Great," I thought. "Ballooning is expensive enough that people shouldn't have to ride in a giant floating gambling advertisement." But it turned out that Easy Springs is a now-defunct casino in Nevada and that one of the crew, Barbara, had actually won the balloon in a poker game. It's funny how things can suddenly go from appalling to kind of cool.
When the giant balloon was upright, the assembled passengers—mostly journalists diligently investigating Taos' Summer of Love 2009 tourism campaign—clambered into the basket. We skipped across the ground, bouncing a couple of times with a bumpy awkwardness that made the sudden lift into calm air seem a miracle. There was none of the perilous, stomach-dropping ascendency I had imagined.
Instead, there was peace.
The land and the river unfolded beneath us, rippling out in all directions as we drifted upward in a preternatural Zen symphony comprised of silence, punctuated by occasional hot blasts of flame firing up into the interior of the balloon. The balloon answered in turn with a performance of light and color across its taut skin.
Or at least it would have been like that if the basket wasn't full of journalists busy jabbering, snapping photos, taking video and updating their Twitter feeds. Nothing makes you feel like an ass so much as being among your peers and realizing how collectively monstrous you are.
Fortunately, the balloon overpowers all else. The quiet, steady drift of the balloon and its effortless graces hides the skill of the pilot, in this case Pueblo owner Ed Smith. In 1991, Smith took a casual ride in a balloon. A year later, he took a second ride, this time in his own balloon. Smith can't fight the wind or determine the final direction of the balloon, but by deftly ascending and descending, he can use crosscurrents to a degree that passes for expert control.
From 1,000 feet in elevation, we dropped to the edge of the gorge, drifted another 650 feet down to dip the basket into the coursing spring waters of the Rio Grande and then climbed again, the balloon's shadow huge against cliff walls, a spectacle for vultures and raptors. Smith said the maneuver is called either a "dip and drip" or a "splash and dash," depending on how deep into the water you go.
I call it a perfect moment.
As we steered toward a landing point, the scent of sage filling the hot valley floor rose to meet us. We skimmed the top of the scrub, still ethereal just a few feet above the ground, and drifted into the waiting arms of the chase crew.
After deflating and packing up the balloon, the Pueblo crew broke out champagne and orange juice. They were adhering to a tradition that goes back to the first manned-balloon flight, the history of which the crew delivered in entertaining fashion as we quietly sucked down our mimosas and came to terms with the bittersweet return to earth.

Very cool idea! Love the Filmation cel!
Here's a fun collaborative MOTU project that I've been working on with my friend, Ren-Ra. After I told her about the proposed story of the Son of He-Man, and the more undefined Son of Skeletor, she felt like changing it around by introducing Keltra, the Daughter of Skeletor instead!
When she told me about her idea, I made this rough concept sketch...
Initially, I went with a raven-haired design because of Keldor's black hair but I liked Ren-Ra's version with blonde hair better. It gave Keltra some nice contrast by bringing in extra color, so I made this new sketch based on Ren-Ra's designs...
Here's my first finished drawing, colored by Ren-Ra...
Finally, I just made this for fun; A "cel" from the lost Filmation Episode 131 of He-Man, "The Daughter of Evil"!
Keltra is a fun character to work with and I'm still fleshing out her story. Hopefully, I'll have more illustrations to share soon...I hope you like the art and any feedback is appreciated, thanks for looking!
Very cool idea! Love the Filmation cel!
Very nice; I like the idea that Skeletor has a daughter! And she looks quite pretty!

Very nice. I submitted a version of the son of Skeletor to the C-A-C contest.
Top MOTUC wants: Sagitar, Great Black Wizard, Fang-or, Skeletor's Skeleton Warriors, Odiphus, Illumina w/Sleetah, Lady Slither, Tuvar & Baddrah 2-pack
Thanks, guys! I definitely envision Keltra being more than a handful for both Heroic and Evil Warriors alike, heheh! Here are a couple of quick, new sketches...Starting with Keltra discovering an old item that accessorizes her nicely, the Terror Claws!
Also, I can see her throwing one of those classic Filmation tandrums!
Well, I got a few more Keltra illustrations that I wanted to share here! The first is a small series of concept portraits, when I was playing around with the idea of her with black hair...
Next, is another fun "Filmation" cel of Keltra spending some not-so-quality family time with her dad...
Finally, here's bratty Keltra acting like she owns Snake Mountain! I tried to give this illustration a Fantasy Art feel, I'll work on a colored version of this later on...
I hope you like them!
I have seen the Lou Scheimer concept from Evil-Lyn as his daughter.
But i must say "your own concept is cool too"
really good work i hope you paint more from her!
I ask me how she looks with 1 pigtail / ponytail
Maybe a mix-version of Lou's Concept and your Concept ( I love the idea )

Beast-Man and Keltra...
Keltra relaxing at Snake Mountain...
To me, the rumors of Man-at-Arms' death were greatly exaggerated...Hey, I liked the redesign they proposed for him and felt it would be a waste to not try it!
My ultimate goal would be to put together a SoHM mini-comic or two, done in the similar storybook style as the original vintage ones. Here are a couple of rough mock-ups of what I'm aiming for...
I have a quick question: Should the finalized mini-comic be posted here or in the fan-fic forum? Anyway, thanks again for looking...I'm having fun getting back into illustrating characters!
just now seeing thread.
I like the concept and the art.
I love it. Very cool.
i wuld love her more as Castle-Grayskull-Men

Great ilustrations!!!! Simply amazing. Now, you are all welcome to correct me if Im wrong, but I was under the impression that Evil Lyn conceived the child while Skeletor was still Keldor, so the child's feet should be the human-like feet.
Waiting to see more!!!!
Jii Dee regarding Matty's view on MOTUC Collectors: "Here be whiny surrender monkey dragons".
MOTUC NEEDS: General Sunder, & Horde Wraith
(Nail polish in Eternia?! Thinking about her feet just put me in a silly mood so I drew this for fun, heheh...I envisioned a mini-scene where Keltra explained to the Evil Warriors that she wanted to look her best for when she ripped out He-Ro's heart from his chest! )
Fantastic artwork as always! I thought perhaps I'd add in my original concept art of Keltra that I had made back when I first thought of her...
I had used an image of Teela as a base, I'd like to do some more artwork of her as well! Can't wait to see more of her
I absolutely love your edited animation cell, it looks really cool!
Years ago another orger created a fan character who was the daughter of Skeletor and Evil-Lyn. I believe her name was Mal-Lyss or Malice, something of that nature. She looked like Evil-Lyn in modified Skeletor armor. It was a very cool piece. Your choice to give her blond hair and blue skin gives her a real Filmation look.
If I could make 1 design suggestion, perhaps she could wear 1 bejeweled Terror Claw. You could also bejewel the Havoc staff with a third eye.

Hey there, RenRa...I'm glad to see you here! I look forward to seeing all of your new artwork!
Heheh, Midor, the daughter of Demo-Man! Actually, Demo-Man figures into my story but in a different way...
Sky Breaker, I did some digging around and found that Mal-Lyss character design. She does look pretty cool and has a far more grisly backstory than Keltra! I like the idea of Keltra adding embellishments to the Terror Claws and some of her dad's old stuff. Just as long as she doesn't turn Snake Mountain pink!
I really like this one. I'd buy the figure.
