someone at the huffington post has vision to see the truth
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-sc … 81296.html
Thanks for sharing.
Most of the comments for that article are terrible.
Here's Salon's Joan Walsh's take on Ron Paul. I think she got it right. Ron Paul struck me as not being the brightest bulb on the tree.
http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2010/ … newsletter
wow, I just watched that guy avoid answering her very direct questions in regard to private businesses being able to segregate.
people deserve a yes or no answer. I have to agree with you Ralph.
He basically said yes. But he can't actually say yes, cause then he'd be racist.
Here's someone else from Huffington Post who's on the right track about Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich"
Here we go again. A prominent Republican likens President Obama to Adolf Hitler, and the Republican leadership remains embarrassingly, shockingly silent.
According to former House of Representatives Speaker Newt Gingrich, the President's "secular-socialist machine represents as great a threat to America as Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union once did."
This was not a slip of the tongue. Gingrich has stood by his offensive, morally outrageous comparison on at least two national television programs. And the reaction from House Minority leader John Boehner or his Senate counterpart, Mitch McConnell, or the ever garrulous Dick and Liz Cheney? So far, not even a murmur of disapproval.
Last year, it was Rush Limbaugh who inflamed the Republican base with his irresponsible analogies. Among Limbaugh's gems: "Obama's got a health care logo that's right out of Adolf Hitler's playbook;" "Obama is asking citizens to rat each other out like Hitler did;" the president "is sending out his brownshirts to head up opposition to genuine American citizens who want no part of what Barack Obama stands for and is trying to stuff down our throats;" and "Adolf Hitler, like Barack Obama, also ruled by dictate."
At the same time, Rand Paul, the new darling of the Republican right, the newly minted Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate from Kentucky, proudly tells us that he would not have voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act because he apparently believes that privately owned restaurants should be allowed to discriminate against African Americans, or, presumably any other minority group. And tellingly, there has been no public outrage from the GOP establishment.
Joe Scarborough, a former conservative Republican Member of Congress, has roundly denounced both Gingrich and Paul on his Morning Joe show on MSNBC, but where are the hapless Michael Steele, and Indiana Representative Mike Pence, and Mitt Romney? Once again, they allow the vitriol to be spewed out in the hope that it will sufficiently poison the body politic in their favor.
Senator Jeff Sessions (R. Ala.), the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has no problem accusing Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan, falsely as it happens, of having "violated the law" when, while Dean at Harvard Law School, she continued the practice of restricting military recruitment in light of the US armed forces' discrimination against openly gay members. But Senator Sessions has not, so far at least, addressed either Newt Gingrich's or Rand Paul's extremist rhetoric. Why not?
Colin Powell explained on CNN that his problem with the GOP was that when Limbaugh "says things that I consider to be completely outrageous, and I respond to it, I would like to see other members of the party do likewise. But they don't." The same appears to be true when it comes to Gingrich or Paul.
Where is House Republican Whip Eric Cantor? Does he agree with Paul that a hotel or restaurant should be allowed to bar me or him because we are Jewish? Does he agree with Gingrich's comparison of President Obama to Hitler and Stalin, two notorious anti-Semites? And if he disagrees with either or both of these Republican luminaries, why hasn't he spoken up?
As we approach both the Kagan confirmation hearings and the mid-term Congressional elections, we must keep the broader political context in mind. Political disagreement is legitimate. Fomenting fear and hatred, or wanting to turn the clock back to the bad old days of Jim Crow and segregated lunch counters is not.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/menachem- … ly%20Brief
Some businesses can already deny service to anyone they want to, including nightclubs. And it's legal. Why?
Not on a racial basis.
I don't believe it's legal for a nightclub or any business open to the public to deny service based on race. Of course clubs are obligated not to serve minors.
When I was a kid, our swim team competed against a country club where they barred blacks and Jews from being a member. This was the mid-80s in New Jersey. I never understood how that was legal, but maybe there's an exception for clubs that have membership, instead of businesses open to the public.
(We usually accepted the host club's invitation to eat with them after the meet was over. In this club's case, our coach instead said very loudly, "We're going to Friendly's!")
Also from Huffington Post: by Bruce Wilson
"Enter Rand Paul.
Amidst the hullaballoo over Republican Rand Paul's upset victory in the Kentucky GOP primary for US Senate, one of the few journalists to raise the issue of Paul's somewhat uncomfortable proximity to Christian Reconstructionism has been Alternet's Adele Stan, who observes that Rand Paul's father Ron Paul is personal friends with one of the bigger names in the Christian Reconstructionist movement, Howard Phillips, founder of the US Taxpayers Party -- now re-branded as The Constitution Party. But there's much more direct evidence tying Ran Paul to the Constitution Party, whose national platform declares,
"The goal of the Constitution Party is to restore American jurisprudence to its Biblical foundations...
The U.S. Constitution established a Republic rooted in Biblical law"
I've seen Ron Paul at right to life rallies.....
He's right on so many issues, but he wants to take my freedom away...NO THANKS. BEEN THERE, DONE THAT.
Ron Paul fights for the rights of the babies he watched aborted, at too late of a stage, die in buckets while gasping for air. You should read his book on why he is so passionate about abolishing abortion.
If you check out the issue - not the propaganda - the issue is the rights of individuals against the rights of businesses. If a business wants to discriminate - discriminate in giving service or hiring - Rand Son of Ron - says the business rights are higher. The rights of the business owner are curtailed if he can't deny service or a job on ANY basis he wants.
I lived in NC - MOSTLY it's not racist - now. There was a time - Mostly, it was. The Civil Rights Act (backed up with federal troops) broke the back of institutional discrimination. Rand and Ron think that it would have evolved naturally (in a century or two) and discriminating against a minority is better than forcing a standard of equality.
Look at the history - the Civil War ended in 1865. Blacks in the south were still denied jobs, civil and voting rights (to some degree) 100 years after that. Civil Rights laws tested states rights - and the states lost the right to discriminate individually just as the Confederacy lost the Civil War. Only AFTER the intervention of the federal govenment (civil rights and voting rights) in the 60s did things change.
Rand Son of Ron is not a racist - but he supports the rights of a business to be racist and implement racist policy. You have to decide for yourself if you agree.
It hasn't stopped either.
"That story is that as the overall unemployment rate remained steady, the Black unemployment rate leaped from 15.8 percent to 16.5 percent. The rate for Black women rose from 12.1 percent to 12.4 percent. The rate for Black men closed in on 20 percent, rising from 17.8 to 19.0.
Meanwhile, unemployment rates for White America – only half that of the Black rate - either remained steady or went down. For Whites, the rate remained at 8.8 percent, well below the national average. For White men, the rate dropped from 9.0 percent to 8.9 percent. For White women, the rate remained steady at 7.3 percent.
Labor experts say racial disparities in education is a key answer."

Effy and Mimz Vintage style elephant and mouse
A vintage look elephant, Effy, with her best friend Mimz the mouse, have just returned from the circus, and they are fully stocked with peanuts. Effy is giving Mimz a ride on the peanut cart, which is hand-made with vintage pop bottle caps for wheels. The nutmeats have been removed from the peanuts and the shells glued back together, but don't tell these guys that. Both are wearing party hats and Effy is wearing a peanut necklace Mimz made for her. Effy has a cotton fabric torso with arms, legs, head and ears made from a super soft red Berber fabric. Mimz is made from coffee stained and stiffened cotton batting. Effy measures 13 inches, sitting and Mimz measures 7 inches on her cart. They will come to you signed and dated, by me, the original designer.

"The comfortable beds."
About: Royal Surrey County Hospital Royal Surrey County Hospital Guildford GU2 7XX
Posted via NHS Choices (as ),
What I liked
The comfortable beds.
What could be improved
The nurses were very noisy, especially in the evening and early morning, some seemed incapable of speaking without shouting - and those trolleys they wheel about can waken the dead!
Anything else?
The food was inedible. When you are very ill, you are better off with a nourishing homemade chicken soup & roll instead of the slop which was served up. Jamie Oliver HELP.

Social Share Buttons
Technical Blogs July 19, 2013 By Ryan Schuhler Staff
Recently I found myself searching through the internet for how to best add social share buttons to a website. The documentation that exists is helpful, however I decided it might still be useful to share some of my findings.
I discovered, as many of you probably know, that there are mainly two ways to create a social button. The first way is by using a script that the respective social network service provides. I used Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google Plus, all of which had great documentation. The second way to acheive a share button is by creating a url which contains the information, and then you can put that url wherever you please. Here are the two different methods:
Script versions of social bookmarks
Things to note in this first section, Facebook requires an app id to use this method. So in order to use it you would need to create an app and in the app settings approve the page you are trying to share from. However, doing it this way allows you to write the script once and then call it onclick and pass in the variables you want as many times as you want. The other three services are similar in that they have a script and then use "data-x" attributes to pass in the values you want.
Anchor versions of social bookmarks
The anchor versions are also an option, while they don't have the nice default icons that the scripts provide, they are beneficial for different reasons. The url that you form is very convenient because it very simple and can be used anywhere. You could use it in emails as well as on your website or anywhere else you can paste a link. It should be noted that because it is a url, it is necessary that it is written like one. This means in all of the fields where spaces are required (ie. titles or descriptions) the spaces must written as "%20" so when you want to write the title "Here is the title" it will be written like this "&title=Here%20is%20the%20title".
Hope all of this is useful. There are more things you can do with social buttons, but for my use case this worked great, and it is nice to have all four social buttons in one place. You can see a demo of the code here. The nice thing about Liferay is that you can take this and throw it into a template so that even those who don't know how to code can create and/or populate social buttons for your site. Copy and Paste away!

Commentary: You can lead a horse to automation…
Many companies simply don't seem to see the point of adding appropriate extensions to automation systems in day-to-day operation. Is it just personal inertia, or really not seeing a value? Shouldn't the recession change the analysis?
Two years ago, I wrote a blog posting in response to various technology providers suggesting that the availability of transmitter devices made under the new Wireless HART standard would prompt more plants to use the diagnostics available from HART enabled devices, and maybe even larger asset management systems (AMSs). I asked if that was likely to happen, because it seemed that there were enough ways to do that without wireless. Was there any reason to think adding wireless capability would encourage people to make the move to a higher level of sophistication?
Two readers responded to that posting, one quite recently. Both made the point that many plants don't use HART diagnostics because their people simply don't see the value. The writers suggested a certain cynicism about getting plant management and operators to change their thinking.
One said, "I worked for a large oil company that put HART AMS in three or four chemical plants, using HART muxes. Some plants had good success stories to tell (I believe one was'HART Plant of the Year'), but most saw little improvement. I think they kept doing what they always did, which didn't involve using all the HART capabilities. I suspect if you gave these plants the same info via wireless, the result would be about the same."
And another said, "I guess the major question I have is what is the information extracted from HART devices used for? Does it hold the ability to increase operations that drive value? Does it limit risk? Can it increase efficiency? From the prior comment, it seems like it can add value if implemented and utilized, but as he also articulates, this seldom happens."
While I'll admit that part of my reason for being here is to help advance technology within our subscriber industries, there are times when I have to ask what the point is to some new capability. For example, it is difficult to argue that an operating plant should replace large populations of hard-wired instrumentation with a fieldbus, assuming that instrumentation is performing reasonably well. On the other hand, when proven improvements can be made at relatively low cost and without disruptions, why do so many companies seem resistant?
Using HART data is a prime example. If you have devices with HART connectivity, you can gather that information easily using wired or wireless devices, and not disrupt your existing operation. The ability to gather and use the information can support significant improvements in asset management and maintenance practices. That has been demonstrated time and time again.
However, some look at the evidence and refuse to act because it requires behavioral change at some level. They look at the situation and decide they do not want to see a value, so they don't. Maintain the status quo . End of discussion. Now, what's for lunch?
While our current economic downturn has mitigated many of the resource cost increases of last year, it is dangerous to think that this reprieve will be permanent. Globalization—with its relentless competitiveness—is here to stay. Resource demand and costs will climb again. A recession is a time to make all the efficiency improvements you can, and that includes improved automation. Successful companies will be those that can continue lean production practices when business recovers. Look again for efficiency. Expect to find value and you probably will.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

I've recently updated the rules to both the Redux and Classic version of the rules. The change involves limits to spotting ranges.

Tarot Readings for You for July 11, 2013 Thursday(c)
Guidance Here's that age old drama of whether to flee the dysfunctional bunch of people or to wade in and set things straight like a leader, or whether 'When your energy is going full-bore into your own progress, other people are not a problem for you.'So my note to myself today is to stay until it's time to leave: To be able and willing (determined, even) to handle a challenge I am involved in; and to be able and willing to determine when my rightful role has ended. That is the point to hop off the train, right there … sometimes before the train wreck, sometimes because I resolve the situation. It could be my situation or others'. Leaving can be graduation, or can be just time to get out because the situation isn't serving any purpose anymore. We are about the art and the instinct of knowing.
Instructions: Are YOU here for the first time? Come in! People love this place! Our site is divided into four sections: Guidance, Tarot Readings, Learn Tarot by Observation, and Learn Tarot by Pictures.
If you just want your daily look ahead, Guidance and Tarot Readings are all you need. 'Guidance' is a summary of what the cards are generally advising visitors to be aware of that day. 'Tarot Readings' is the actual word for word messages to everyone. So, go ahead and pick the sentences you feel are yours and decide whether to encourage or reject them for yourself. THEN, the family of commenters here would love for you to join in.
Knight of Wands
Chariot – Ten of Pentacles – Death
Tell the visitors here something useful and meaningful to them.
Headings [So you can choose which belongs to you]
Tarot Readings: Personal Success (Chariot and Knight of Wands)
Tarot Readings: Success at a Company (Chariot and Ten of Pentacles)
Tarot Readings: Risk Management/Preventing Harm (Ten of Pentacles and Death)

Tarot Readings: Success at a Company (Chariot and Ten of Pentacles)

Choose not to run from trouble with them.
Have no trouble with them if you choose to avoid it.
Tarot Readings: Not Leaving (Death and Knight of Wands)
Is not moving out of the dysfunctional family situation to have a life of his/her own.
People who aim to make trouble just don't leave.
He isn't running away from home.
Someone in authority stops them from leaving a (damaged) building.
Tarot Readings: Vehicles (Chariot)
He drives fast but doesn't get in trouble.
Death in a speeding vehicle involves the mob.
There's no getting away from 'car trouble.'
Chases the bad guys in (his) vehicle and stops them.
Criminals' getaway vehicle is stopped.
Knight of Wands
Chariot – Ten of Pentacles – Death
Four unrelated cards often make many different sentences. True here today. We do have a bit of a theme though: Chariot is a vehicle, and Knight of Wands is speeding over the road. Chariot is ambition and Knight of Wands is fast progress or getting ahead. Chariot is choosing and Knight of Wands is either/both to pursue or to get out of there. Chariot is determination and Knight of Wands is getting on with it in a hurry.
Right in the middle we have (Ten of Pentacles) people who don't get along or the bad guys, bad neighbors, dysfunctional people, the deadwood in a company, the disorganized company, problems with people and people with problems – maximum social screwed-up-ness. Could be you with problems, like 'Nobody knows the trouble I've seen.'
As things stand at this point in my review, I have 'running away from some bad situation or bad home life or bad company,' and I also have 'getting ahead by skilfully handling the same kind of situations.' Why? Do you see it? Well, Chariot is the choice to leave, and Chariot is the determination and the skill to masterfully handle – and these refer, of course to the description we discussed already about Ten of Pentacles. It can go either way, with just these two Tarot cards.
Sooo now we toss the monkey wrench into the works, of Death – Death the negative modifier that also means 'end.' Death is always standing by ready to veto We already have contradiction in our story, without Death butting in. Be mindful that life is contradictory, so these counterbalancing sagas represent choices we can do with the same situation. Especially today, with Chariot meaning 'choice.'
Here's that age old drama of whether to flee the dysfunctional bunch of people or to wade in and set things straight like a leader, or whether 'When your energy is going full-bore into your own progress, other people are not a problem for you.' So my note to myself today is to stay until it's time to leave: To be able and willing (determined, even) to handle a challenge I am involved in; and to be able and willing to determine when my rightful role has ended. That is the point to hop off the train, right there … sometimes before the train wreck, sometimes because I resolve the situation. It could be my situation or others'. Leaving can be graduation, or can be just time to get out because the situation isn't serving any purpose anymore. We are about the art and the instinct of knowing.
Chariot is deliberate purposeful intent, ambition, achievement, success, getting the job done. It is a vehicle of any kind. It is about using the factors that disfavor your purpose to further your purpose. That idea is illustrated by the two sphinxes that pull in opposite directions while the driver must get the 'forward' show on the road.
Ten of Pentacles are those Bad People (BP) over there … maybe dysfunctional us? Not us! – they are Them. Those other guys. They are the office politics, they are the (corrupt) politicians, they are the low class relatives and ghettoites … and the other side – maybe even of a sports game. The people who make our problems, who are the trouble with our family, neighborhood, county, state, nation and world. You know. Those guys.
Its illustration shows, of course, a three-generational family quarrel: Gloating Grandpa, Wife with Grievance, Husband who ain't listenin' to Grandpa, Wife, or Squalling Brat. You know. That silent stare and the looking away that erases. A nice normal dysfunctional family like we have.
Death is the Great Negator "No." It's any negative word, and in a spread of this type, where each card is equal and not assigned to a position that gives it meaning (It doesn't have a Self, or Cover, or any positional aspect like that), then it can modify negatively any of the other three cards. Its illustration only matches the 'end' meaning, not the negator meanings; and other readers differ from Tarot Verbatim(TM) about Death. The bishop picks up the crown of the dead king for the next cycle.
Knight of Wands is in a hurry, a rush, is speeding on the road, is getting away from or out of, or is pursuing avidly and energetically. You can see his horse almost airborne, the wind in his clothes and helmet scarf. His club is not extended. I still say he is more fleeing than pursuing. But not today. Today he is fast progress, he is getting ahead.
EXPLANATIONS: [Use the arrow at lower right to skip this and go to Comments.]
All the words of each Tarot card reading you see here are a phrase-by-phrase translation of the scene pictured on those cards: no filler, no psychic impressions, no spirit guide. Word-for-word Tarot Verbatim(TM).
In these group readings, there's no question (and no Questioner) to limit what the four cards can mean, so they can mean opposite things.
When there is a negative-meaning card (a 'negator,' I call them), the readings contradict one another because that card can make any of the other cards in the spread negative. Negator cards mean things like: no, never, not, end, can't, etc. Never be queasy about the number of 'bad' card because it takes two bad cards to say 'not dead' and only one to say 'dead.'
Without a question or a Questioner, pronouns (I, you, he, she, we, they, etc.) are very flexible. I leave out pronouns in writing this as much as possible – awkward to do that sometimes. When I put them in parentheses, feel very free to change them around to suit yourself.
Now in a 'real' individual reading, the questioner asks a specific question which provides at least half the information! In an individual's reading, the parties are identified and sometimes a time frame is too. Here, in a group reading, we cannot do that and so we get more variety of sentences.
Horoscopes are group readings, too. Astrology is based on someone else's birth data, though, so a 'solar' group horoscope never really solidly applies to you! (Astrologers want you to know this!)
Tarot successfully addresses the group of visitors, whoever they are. It provides useful information that applies to their daily lives: They tell you this in the comments, for three years now. Tarot can tell you things about people you don't know personally – such as whoever on your job has a say in your raise or continued employment there, whether that is one person or many. Visitors report that the information is equally accurate for new visitors as it is for the family of regular visitors.
Do you want to read Rider Waite Tarot, yourself? Start with Learn Tarot by Pictures to get the day's cards' individual meanings; then read Learn Tarot by Observation, which gives you the thinking those four cards inspire in a qualified reader. Next, Group Analytical Tarot Cards Reading is the various things those four cards can say (without a question to guide them). Then, Guidance is a summary.
In this way, your intuition allows you to learn to read the cards without much effort if you come often enough. Regular visitors can just put it together.

Jeld-Wen Weather Seal
A home owner from Baltimore, Md. says:
November 21, 2012
Need weather seal for jeld-wen casements windows bought in 1999.
I can send pic if you send me an email address.
I can send pic if you send me an email address.
Tom from SWISCO responded:
November 27, 2012
Thank you for the images. Unfortunately, we're having a hard time identifying this weatherseal based on these images. If at all possible, can you remove a small sample from the window and take a picture of its profile? You can then upload it here with dimensions for us to see. An illustration would also work. Thank you!
A home owner from Baltimore, Md. says:
December 10, 2012
I am attaching additional images of the OEM weatherstrip. We are looking to improve on this. The manufacturer Caradco now JELD-WEN has a class action suit pending by 18,000 customers with rotted windows. Strip needs top have a g=flange we can insert into a fromt or back kerf(groove). Bubble strip may work better. This leave type weather strip is actually trapping the water because it does not lay flat. Additional images attached.
Tom from SWISCO responded:
December 11, 2012
Thank you! Please take a look at our 55-106 Weatherstripping and compare its dimensions to your sample. Could you use this as a substitute? Let me know!
A quick learner from Baltimore, Md. says:
December 12, 2012
Would a bubble weatherstrip 58-053 work just as effectively or better? A leaf weatherstrip such as this will not stop water penetration. Something needs to be in the front to block the water.
Dave Sr. from SWISCO responded:
December 12, 2012
The only bubble I can think of that may fit is our 58-055 offset seal. However water leakage is a hard thing to prevent. I don't know if any type of weather strip can stop the leaks.

Bayesian Vector Autoregressive Procedure for Forecasting Swiss Economy
The primary objective of Energy and Environmental Policy Modeling is to introduce a variety of recent energy--environmental modeling concepts, and to provide an overview of these modeling concepts. Another major objective of the book is the application of management science techniques to energy and environment policy issues which have expanded dramatically over the last twenty-five years: the results from these applications have become increasingly relied upon by those making energy and environmental decisions. Thus, an overview of some of the most interesting work in this field on some of the biggest contemporary policy issues is a worthy objective. In this respect, policy issues are discussed in the following conceptual modeling frameworks: end-use modeling, integrating supply and demand, aggregate energy--economy interactions, and multi-sector energy--economy interactions. Hence the book begins with policy studies. First there is a chapter on oil resource depletion and technological change by John Rowse. Two articles on electric sector restructuring follow, by William Hogan and Hung-po Chao/Stephen Peck. The first section is followed by four chapters motivated by the debate over appropriate climate change policies: one by Richard Richels, Jae Edmonds, Howard Gruenspecht, and Tom Wigley on the implications of different carbon emission trajectories; one by Stephen Peck and Thomas Telsberg on appropriate emissions trajectories under uncertainty; one by Susan Swinehart on the potential of tree planting as a climate policy response; and one by Gunter Stephan on inter-generational discounting. Finally, the book ends with a chapter by Tom Rutherford on the sequence of linear complimentarity problem technique for solving general equilibrium problems, and oneon the International Energy Network by Leo Schrattenholzer, an institution managed jointly by Schrattenholzer and Alan Manne. The work of Professor Alan Manne is heavily referenced in every chapter of this book.

Old High Shield
Old High Shield is a spacious single storey building providing self-catering accommodation for two people.
|Old High Shield is situated half way along Hadrian's Wall, lying just half a mile south of its highest point where the Wall crosses the Pennines close to Rapishaw Gap.
It is at this point that the wall follows the natural line of the Whin Sill, a dramatic escarpment of ancient igneous rock.
The surrounding countryside is breathtaking and many of the Wall's favourite views are to be found in this area.
Old High Shield is situated a few hundred yards south of the B6318 (known locally as the Military Road) and is 5 miles from the market town of Haltwhistle, 25 miles east of Carlisle and 31 miles west of Newcastle upon Tyne.
It is possible on a clear day to see Solway Firth from High Shield Crags on Hadrian's Wall where the Whin Sill drops steeply to Cragg Lough.

DIY – How to make a catnip toy for cats
Did you know that cats react to catnip? Well not all of them !!! Most of them! Approximately 50% of them but not kittens . Don't worry, catnip doesn't hurt your beloved friends! It just stimulates them . That reaction only lasts for about 10 to 15 minutes and if your cat interacts with catnip very often she will eventually loose her interest to it!!
Still a catnip toy is a very good way to get your kitty up and moving. Now there are many catnip toys to choose from
but i am going to show you how to make one using your own materials or by purchasing one of my d.i.y. craft kits.
Here is what you will need :
– a piece of felt ,what ever color you like most,
– thread and needle
– ribbons
– a bit of stuffing
– catnip
– pen and scissors
On the felt piece draw a fish and cut it . Start sewing with the thread and when you reach for the tale stop. Take the ribbons and make a knot with all of them . Place the knot inside the fish's tale and continue to sew. Don't sew it all!! You have to leave an opening to put the stuffing and the catnip. You are all done . Your catnip toy is ready! For more fun take a wooden stick and a string. Tie the fish on one end of the string and the wooden stick from the other. Have fun!!!!
You can find the diy craft kits here The D.I.Y. lab

Every year, before the year's end I like to read over my agenda and do a "year's review" of all the activities I did during that year. 2011 was no different. On December 30th I sat down on my own with nice music and a nice cup of fresh coffee and I went month by month, day by day, over the activities I had during the year.
This is a really cool thing to do, to "re-live" those amazing activities you had during the year, and also to refresh your memory over the amazing people you came across during the entire year.
I love acknowledging people so a few years ago I came up with the idea of doing a "My Favorite people of the Year" Blog post, where I acknowledge some of the great people I came across during the year.
Truth is of course I met a lot more people during the year but it will be hard to mention each and every individual, so what I like doing is selecting the people who brought me the most fond memories during the year.
So, if you crossed my path in 2011, and you're not in this list, allow me to also thank you for being there and making 2011 very special.
I will like to dedicate this post to my uncle Rodolfo Aldapa, who was one of my beloved relatives who sadly passed away the day before I wrote this post. He of course had a spot on my favorite people of 2011 as he did on my post of My favorite pople on previous years. I will sure miss him a lot.
(Mind you, these people are not set on any particular order, I just happen to remember enjoyable activities we did together at some point while reading my agenda :-)
Of course, I would like to get started with my family! My Wife Gerjola, My Son Vincent and my Daughter Nina. I am so blessed that they are in my life. Nina, Coco & Patatita I love you with all my heart you're my everything :-)
Then I would like to Acknowledge my Parents: I wish I will live a bit closer to them, as I do not get to see them as much as I want to. Fortunately we Skype almost every day. Winacho and La Piguas I love you with all my heart!
Then comes my Brother and Sister. Sad enough, I did not see my sister in 2011, but we did keep in touch as often as possible via phone or Skype, also my Brother left to Chicago and I do miss him dearly. Guys you're amazing and I love you very Much :-)
Next person on my favorite list is my really dear friend Dave Crane. During my life I've had lots of "best friends", but I must say Dave is on a league of his own. I really feel a very strong bond with him and I absolutely treasure all the times we spend together. We have fun, we have serious conversations, we brainstorm and we counsel each other in many aspects of our lives. Dave you're an amazing guy and I feel blessed we're such good mates!
Next on my list are: Barry, Cummings, James Reynolds and Christian Farioli. I had to put the three of them on one single spot as they are all very close pals and I really feel so proud of calling them close friends and business partners. Guys I was so proud of you this year after the UPO in Al Ain, for the first time we worked as a team and we made this year's event extra special. You guys rock! Barry, it was awesome to have you here in USA for a few days in 2011, Lets Make 2012 an extraordinary year!
James, thanks for coming and staying in Amsterdam for a few Days in 2011, we had a great time and our brainstorm sessions gave birth to the 2011 UPO in Al Ain, that probably will change the way Internet Marketing Events are done around the world! I Feel proud to have you as my business partner and friend.
Christian, first of all congratulations for your 66,000 views of the "Retarded Sheep" in YouTube :-)
Second, I also want to tell you how much I value your friendship and support. You're a super clever person and you're insights are always invaluable. in 2012, I hope we can really dedicate time to the projects we have pending. Thanks for your patience and always being there for me. Un gran abrazo Amigo!
Mitch Carson is the next on my list :-)
Mitch is another person whom I surely feel a strong bond and connection, Amigo Mitch (El Gringo de Los Angeles). We had a lot of fun experiences in 2011 and it was always a pleasure smoking either Shisha or Cigars and having enlightening conversations. You're a very good pal and I feel really happy having you as a friend!
Sue Reader is the next person on my list.
Sue you're amazing, thanks for accepting the big challenge and responsibility of making the 2011 UPO happen. Your help and contribution was key to the success of the event. I hope in 2012 we can work closely together. You're amazing!
Joanna Kinsman comes next on my list :-) Joanna, you sure are a special lady, I am really glad Dave You and I had the chance to spend some time together after the cruise in Florida. It was short but very enjoyable! Look forward to more fun times in 2012.
Then of course I have to mention my good friend Andrew Lock, with whom I had the chance to work closely this year on 3 different occasions. In Park City, Las vegas and the UAE. Andrew, you're good pal and I really value your friendship. I look forward to being part of your mastermind and YES I will Beat You Next Time we Play: " The Battle of the Nifty Resources" lol!
Marie O'riordan follows on my List. Marie, it was a pleasure to see you in London this summer and I am so happy that by random circumstances we connected again and you were available to speak on the 2011 UPO in Abu Dhabi (Al Ain). I look forward to working together this year on the 3 projects planned :-)
Suraj Sodha Suraj, what a great pleasure to get to know you this time. Last year we hardly had a chance to connect. I am really happy that we connected. You're a great guy and it was very valuable your contribution in the UPO, not only speaking but keeping the firewalk safe Thanks Mate!
Next Peron on my list is Chris Farrell, What an amazing person! Funny enough we met in Facebook, we both were traveling the next day to Salt Lake City and without knowing me, he waited for me in the Airport and we drove together to Park City. We had great conversations and surely is a person I am happy I met in 2011. Chris we missed you in Dubai this year but I am sure we will catch up in 2012 during the Mastermind Sessions. Look forward to spending more time together in 2012.
Then comes one of my oldest friends: Ihab Sorial Ihab what a great pleasure was to reconnect twice with you this year. Thanks for always keeping me in mind. It was a pleasure working with you in Tunesia and then spending some time with you in Doha. I look forward in more opportunities like this in 2012. BIG Hug.
Andy Shaw, is a person that had to be on this list: Great that we met 3 times this year! During the Cruise, London and afterwards in Dubai and Al Ain. I always have a great time when you're around mate. It is always a pleasure to see you. Look forward to lots of Piñas Coladas during 2012!
The Marketers Cruise team: Captain Lou, Donna Fox and Mike Filsaime: Mike, Dona & Captain Lou. What an amazing concept the cruise is. I am very grateful that you guys put together such an amazing experience and I look forward to this year's adventures in the Caribbean. Captain Lou, remember I got an award to present to Mike on the ship! Hope one day I can host you guys in Dubai!
The Dominican Republic "Stowaway Gang" Can you believe this is a bunch of "Stowaways" that landed "sneakingly" by fisherman's boat in the Dominican Republic? This was for sure an adventure I really enjoyed and had a lot of fun on. Great Thing we're going this year mainly to Spanish Speaking Destinations, so look forward to get in more trouble this year with all of you guys!
Simon Coulson Simon, we missed you this year in Dubai! We also had a share of fun experiences in the Caribbean last January. Look forward to more fun in Mexico and Costa Rica in a few weeks. BTW Thanks for your invitation to the event in London in June. I really enjoyed it!
And yet another Simon in the list... Simon Leung, Dave Crane and Ernesto Verdugo is a combination that spells "trouble"! lol! Simon, it was great to hang out with you in the Caribbean and in the UAE this year. I always enjoy your company. We will miss you on the cruise for sure my friend!
Com Mirza and Annete Waddington... Interesting enough you both are on one picture :-) Com it was a pleasure meeting you in October and I look forward to getting to know you better and hopefully doing Business in the UAE and Pakistan as we planned it. Annette I have to thank you for your constant support in all what i do in the UAE. I really appreciate that regularly you do "likes" on my posts on Facebook and that you participate regularly in all my events. Thanks for your constant support.
Lasse Rouhianinen of course had to be on this list! Lasse it was a great pleasure to finally meeting you this year, we both new about each other but until this year we finally met. It was fantastic that you managed to be with us in the UAE and look forward to spending more time with you in the Caribbean this year! Un Fuerte Abrazo
Sohail Khan Strange Sohail we took so many pictures and I cannot seem to find one picture only with you. No problem. It was great to have you in Dubai for Tourism and Speaking in the UPO. We had a great time and it was great to have you speaking on our stage as last time it was not really possible. Look forward for many Join Ventures Together in the Future
Mary Lyka Rosit :-) Dear Lyka, as you well know you're a very important person to us. We enjoy having you as part of our team. Your effort support and care for us is always on our mind and you know that we're also there for you for anything. You're a super star!

My Little Nephew Alejandro! It was a great pleasure to be the first one in my family to meet the new comer of the family this February. Is not that often that you experience family growth, so when it happens it is an special ocassion, so I was happy that our family welcomed my Parent's 5th Grandson and my 1st Male Nephew :-)
Emily & Peter Nguyen Pitty that I don't have a picture with you guys! Specially because Emily has such a nice Camera. It was a real pleasure getting to know you guys during 2011. Nice that we met through Vincent and Braedan. I certainly enjoy hanging out and spending time with you guys!
Sam Cawthorn Sam I've met lots of Inspiring people in my life and I am so happy you're one of them. Your story touched me deeply and meeting you personally was a great bonus. Hope our paths will cross again in the near future either in Australia, the UAE or the USA.
Gail Kingsbury: Gail it was a great pleasure to see you again in SAM, I really enjoyed spending some time with you and talking and exchanging points of view. You're a very interesting lady and I look forward always to meeting with you. Thanks for making my trip to sam Extra Special :-)

On This picture I am with Ciaran Doyle too! I miss you and Dean this year Ciaran. Hopefully we will meet in 2012!

Julie Meer, Rehan Allawallah, Amir Anzur, Tonii Ford, and lots of other people that I am not adding to this list that surely made 2011 an amazing year. Thanks for an amazing 2011 and look forward to a 2012 full with amazing experiences Ernesto

Stanislav Yakovlev is the leader of the Russian radical democratic youth movement, Smena. His commentary on the state of Russian politics and society appears regularly on Kasparov.ru. His sharp and witty essays are recommended reading for anyone with an interest in Russia and her future.
Below, an abridged translation of one of Stanislav's columns, entitled "Man-Eater" (Людоед), which appeared on Kasparov.ru on 10 April 2008 after the conferences of rightist and leftist opposition parties. The conferences preceded the first session of the united opposition's parallel parliament, the National Assembly.
The conference of liberal democratic forces was held in St Petersburg's Angleterre Hotel. I would like to provide a neutral assessment of the event, while at the same time try to explain why the results of the conference only gave rise to a disarray of emotions rather than enthusiasm.
There is no use in negotiating with a man-eater. The mentality of a Kremlin chekist [KGB man] does not allow for even the slightest concession to the opponent. If a person begs a chekist for something, it means the person has failed, and one can do whatever one pleases to him. Another possibility is that he is simply an idiot.
After Nord-Ost and Beslan, after the destruction of opposition media and the bans on political parties, after the fabrication of charges and heavy sentences on "extremists", after the vicious attacks and political assassinations, only an idiot would fail to see the obvious.
Thus a basic and an imperative question to democrats is this: How to achieve the dismantling of Vladimir Putin's regime and, at the same time, remain democratic? The answer is obvious: Through massive, non-violent campaigns of protest, through civic disobedience. However, a sizable portion of delegates to the conference of liberal democratic forces were of a different opinion.
Their main point was that it was necessary to draft a positive political programme which would make people stand in awe and then exult in praise. Moreover, during the process of implementing this grandiose programme, it was necessary not to reject "constructive dialogue with the authorities".
Dear friends. Please recall the recent elections to the State Duma. Was the Union of Rightist Forces (SPS) excluded from television screens? Did not billboards in Moscow carry beautiful bourgeois faces promising the building of capitalism in Russia? However, when SPS had the affront to criticise the authorities publicly, the party was first driven into "white heat" and then into taking part in the opposition's March of Dissent.
The Russian people is very similar to the Ukrainian. It is only able to have two genuine feelings, which are, however, exact polarities. The first is "None of my business", and the second, "Kill the bastards!" The distance between these feelings is long and there are no in-betweens. People either have patience or they have simply had it with everything.
When people's patience one day comes to an end, democrats would do well to ensure that the people stood behind them, and not just anybody. This is where a "positive programme" comes in handy. However, one has to develop the programme in parallel with continuously reminding people that one cannot go on living like this, that such a life is unworthy.
How can one engage in "constructive dialogue with the authorities" in this situation?
I have often been asked what will all these demonstrations change. My answer is that, first of all, they change the people who take part in them. A person who feels pride in himself, who has conquered his fear, will never be the same again.
Having joined the March of Dissent, he will carry himself differently in his everyday life as well. And when an official demands yet another bribe from him, he will get the twenty documents needed just to spite the system, rather than give in to the thief in uniform.
This is exactly what the authorities fear when declaring the Other Russia to be their main enemy. Yet what makes "respectable democrats" play along with the authorities and speak against "brawlers who only know how to wave their dirty rag"?
Speaking at the conference of democratic forces in St Petersburg, I talked about the necessity of rejecting any cooperation with the government. Having completed my locution, I was handed a note, which said: "Kremlin is a terrorist, and the whole country is its hostage. Should not we enter into negotiations with the terrorist for the sake of saving innocent lives?"
The problem is that the terrorist in question does not make any demands. He has taken hostages just to torment them; hostages are not a means to an end, but an end per se to him.
The only demand that the terrorist in Kremlin makes is that he be let alone, that he be not disturbed, while he rapes the land he holds captive, extracting oil, gas, and other goodies from its bosom. This is not the behaviour of a terrorist, but of a maniac. What do you want to talk with him about?
A political programme is born through free political competition. There are no possibilities for such competition in Putin's Russia.
When nerves finally boil over, the people will not stand behind "respectable democrats," but behind their fundamental opponents, simply because of the latters' intensity of emotion and furiosity of action. Any revolution, be it velvet or something else, is a fountain of emotions. Everything else is always left to the aftermath.
There is absolutely no sense whatsoever in drafting a political programme that is merely an empty statement. There is no way the programme will ever reach "wide sections of the general populace." Those who can be reached will use the programme as toilet paper, simply because it is so long and tedious, and life is, after all, still bearable.
When life finally becomes unbearable, the last thing people will do is read political programmes. Such "theses about happiness" can only become part of public debate in conjunction with massive popular protests. Cooperation with the government, be it as "constructive" as it may, will only make those who engage in cooperation into accomplices in Kremlin's crime.
Why did Vladimir Bukovsky, [legendary Soviet dissident] and participant at the conference of liberal democratic forces, not write letters to "Dear Leonid Ilyich" [Brezhnev]? Because the wolfhound is right and the man-eater is not.
There is no use in asking for people's sympathy if one feeds the man-eater. Maybe you still think that Kremlin is, in fact, the wolfhound, just a wee bit on the wild side? Take another good look at who Kremlin is hounding. How can such illusions give rise to a "new agenda"? Will the old agenda not do?
There is some ill talk that the only problem that Vladimir Putin has not solved is the legalisation of the Russian elite's capital in the West.
Gangsters in sportswear have found out that a fat wallet alone will not open the doors to artistocratic clubs in the West; one has to look good as well. Kremlin big shots therefore ditched their Turkish leather jackets in favour of strict tailcoats. This is what is called "the thaw."
However, all sorts of Public Chambers will not hide the stench of Turkish leather jackets; the western bourgeoisie laugh at such stupid clowns. Kremlin therefore needs "irreconcilables" with untarnished protest capital, yet ready to serve as fig leaves for the regime. This is what a "new type democratic party" is really needed for.
Democrats will never win alone. Firstly, because people of liberal convictions are wrong in claiming an exclusive and natural right to the word "democracy." Secondly, because people of liberal convictions are the moral and political hereditaries of the infamous 1990s and do not intend to renounce their heritage; rather, they often express pride in their historical baggage.
Let me state an obvious fact: The era of Boris Yeltsin was neither liberal, nor democratic. It was a period of transition, which is not over yet. The sale of property for a song at nightmarish "shares-for-loans auctions" made property owners into defenceless creatures who cut deals to grab assets. This is something that not even former Prime Minister Yegor Gaidar tries to hide, admitting that the oligarchs were "appointed."
Naturally, illegitimate capital is in need of heightened security. What other regime can offer better security than the mutant of "sovereign democracy," where primitive nationalists shake hands with moneyed elites, and where one can "rule like Stalin, and live like Abramovich"?
Anyone who calls "Yeltsinism" democracy deprives himself of the right to criticise "Putin's stability," because the latter is a logical extension of Yeltsin's system. The coming "thaw" is not a correction of past mistakes, but the last stroke in a grandiose and cynical experiment in "managed democracy," the final phase in the process of legalising capital.
Democracy is merely a set of rules regulating the political process. Anyone really can accept these rules.
In European countries, liberals, socialists, even nationalists sometimes, win elections. Nevertheless, those countries never lose the right to be called democratic. The party that wins elections passes laws according to its party programme. If those laws are bad and voters do not like them, the party will lose at the next elections.
This is why any political force that accepts democractic values is an indispensable ally of liberals in the opposition's common struggle against authoritarianism. Try proving this to "liberals," however. The quotation marks are intentional; I am, after all, a person of liberal convictions.
The "democratic conference" ignored the need to send delegates to the National Assembly. The Assembly was conceived as a "protoparliament" and was originally proposed by opposition economist Andrey Illarionov — who, in Garry Kasparov's words, is more liberal than most — as a step towards establishing parallel power structures. These structures serve two purposes: educational and political.
By following the workings of the "protoparliament," voters in Russia will see how a "normal" government works, what sort of decisions it makes, and what are the principles it adheres to. This is the educational function of the National Assembly.
The political function of the National Assembly is to bring back real parliamentary competition: Ability to listen to one's opponent, demonstrate that one is right, reach a compromise, and work out common decisions. The National Assembly is the "place for political discussion" which ceased to exist under the iron grip of Duma Speaker Boris Gryzlov.
There is no need for members of the National Assembly to love each other; on the contrary, the fiercer the debate, the better. However, the "united democrats" did not care for any of that. What should we talk with the Left about or, God forbid, with the nationalists, they wonder.
Pardon me for asking, esteemed delegates to the conference of united democrats, what would you do in the event you gained power? Ban all parties except the Union of Rightist Forces (SPS)?
The people you dismiss with such contempt would, in a real democracy, gain a sizable percentage of votes, and that support will only increase as long as you ignore their existence. The Left Front will replace the Communist Party (KPRF), and Great Russia will do away with Vladimir Zhirinovsky's ultranationalist Liberal Democratic Party (LDPR). The decorations of nomenclature will come tumbling down.
Would it not be better if, instead of finding yourselves — unprepared and unaware — faced with these political forces in a real parliament, you tried your strength in the National Assembly? At the same time, the feeling of confrontation would blow over. The fact is that we dislike the most that which we do not understand. The National Assembly is as good a chance as ever to get to know each other.
Alas, this was not to be. The only coherent decision taken at the liberal conference was to reject criticism of "those who were not present." One can only assume that the "new democrats" rejected criticism of Yabloko leader Grigory Yavlinsky. If Yavlinsky is beyond criticism, where then did Yabloko's internal opposition — "Yabloko without Yavlinsky" — come from?
How can one not criticise the "systemic opposition," if its only message, short of seats in parliament, is continuous slander against the non-systemic opposition?
There is, however, no reason to think that the democratic conference was a failure. I would like to note the excellent speeches by Garry Kasparov, Alexey Shlyapuzhnikov, Andrey Nekrasov, Ivan Starikov, Vladimir Bukovsky, and many others.
I will welcome the creation of a new united democratic party, but only under the condition that it will be truly new. I do not need yet another party, I need another Russia!
The conference of leftist opposition forces, which took place in Moscow, was in stark contrast to the conference of "democrats." The socialists embarked on a clear course toward uniting their forces, elected deputies to the National Assembly, lambasted the liberals, yet recognised the possibility of a "tactical alliance."
The leftists had an agenda that was indeed new: Kremlin is an enemy, and the opposition should always be united in its struggle. Dialogue with political opponents is necessary, given that the opponents are just that — political, whereas Kremlin denies any political activity outside of its walls.
Why can not a sizable part of democrats agree to do the same and recognise the obvious? We will be glad to help overcome the obstacles. Otherwise we will be crushed between the Scylla of "constructive dialogue" and the Charybdis of "principled particularism."
Having returned from the democratic conference in St Petersburg, I read random passages from Alexander Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago.
It struck me how, instead of rebelling, we still prefer to tread carefully, not make a noise, fear losing face, and not disquiet the neighbours. No matter if people disappear, we still cling on to "constructive dialogue" and "respectable conduct." Anyone who is arrested thinks until the last minute that "it is a mistake and things will soon be sorted out."
Dumbass, things have been "sorted out" a long time ago!
How about it if we still took up resistance, if not for anything else, then at least to escape the need to languish in camps? How long can one brush off a youngster with a red armband who has had it with the crooks in power, and at the same time look up to the inanimate eyes of a select KGB officer with a portrait of Felix Dzerzhinsky in his cabinet?
I will end my essay with a question. I gave my answer a long time ago. Now it is your turn.

With the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas unfolding this month, it's worth looking at the differences between the American and Israeli militaries. America's relationship with Israel has been a staple of its foreign policy in the Middle East. The two forces have similar goals, allies, and enemies, but there are also many differences.
Israel and the United States have been long-time allies in a region where both powers have engaged in quite a bit of conflict. Israel has faced multiple wars against surrounding Arab nations that rallied together to push Israel into the Mediterranean to reclaim land they argue was unfairly granted to Israel in 1948.
Israel has propelled itself into the highest ranks of international war fighting with the help of huge amounts of American subsidies. Recently, a resurgence of violence between Hamas in the Gaza Strip and Israel has shifted attention back to Israel's military. That attention begs an interesting comparison between the American and Israeli armed forces.
America has the most powerful military in the world, yet many Americans do not see its work or size on a day to day basis. There is no mandatory service and the focus of the military for the last decade has been on foreign lands a world away. After the initial months of Iraq and Afghanistan, media coverage dimmed and the relevance of both conflicts to the American public seemed to wane.
On the other hand, Israel requires men and women to enlist and serve. What is more, it is surrounded by nations that have attacked them at one point in the last 60 years, sometimes multiple at once. Israel is also in constant conflict with Gaza and the West Bank, as overpopulation and food shortages drive Palestinians and Israeli settlers into contested territory.
Israel faces a reality Americans rarely have. Rockets can literally land anywhere in Israel without the protection of the Iron Dome missile system, and that reality would be causing many more casualties. As an American Soldier or Veteran, could you imagine fighting in your own backyard the way the Israeli soldiers do?
What do you think of Israel's political and military history, Hamas' non-compliance with the cease-fire, and America's role in the region?
Weigh in on the discussion here and connect within the military network.

SYRACUSE, N.Y., United States
- Mar. 5, 2010
In another demonstration of leadership in environmental stewardship, Carrier Corp. President Geraud Darnis led a group of officials and dignitaries in a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Willis H. Carrier Total Indoor Environmental Quality (TIEQ) lab at the Syracuse Center of Excellence (SyracuseCoE) in Environmental and Energy Systems headquarters in Syracuse, N.Y. Carrier Corp., a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX), is a charter member of the SyracuseCoE and was actively involved in all aspects of the headquarters' design process. SyracuseCoE is focused on research in global sustainability, including clean and renewable energy, indoor environmental quality, and water resource solutions.
In 2005, Carrier pledged $1.5 million for the creation of the world class, 10,000-square foot laboratory named for Dr. Willis H. Carrier, the inventor of modern air conditioning and the founder of Carrier Corp. This first-of-its-kind lab facilitates cutting-edge research into the effects of multiple factors— including temperature, humidity, air quality, lighting, and sound—on human health and performance in building environments.
"Carrier is proud to be a charter member and platinum partner of this initiative," Darnis said. "Innovation is central to Carrier's genetic code, and supporting SyracuseCoE will improve sustainable built environments for generations to come. We are pleased to join the CoE in advancing knowledge on the design, building and operation of high performance sustainable buildings of the future."
The mission of SyracuseCoE is to create innovations that improve human health and productivity, security, and sustainability in commercial buildings. SyracuseCoE's headquarters building itself is a showcase for environmental and energy technologies and building innovation. Carrier's sustainable building solutions can be seen in the application of water-to-water heat pumps and air treatment equipment controlled by Carrier's Comfort Network®. The air treatment equipment provides personalized comfort and air quality control for the human performance test simulators in the Carrier TIEQ Laboratory.
"SyracuseCoE's building is a platform for sustainability not just for Syracuse but for all those around the world interested in the advancement of indoor air quality and its impact on human productivity," Darnis said. "It is only fitting that the TIEQ Laboratory is named for Dr. Carrier, who dedicated his life to developing ways to improve the human condition. That legacy continues today, with Carrier's two-decade experience in sustainable solutions for our products, technologies and operations." Carrier is the only company in the world to be a founding member of the U.S., India and China Green Building Councils.
SyracuseCoE also employs outdoor air quality monitoring, building materials testing, advanced underfloor air distribution and heat recovery systems. The facility is pursuing Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Platinum certification by the U.S. Green Building Council.
