Electronic Arts may be a lot of things, but 'controversial' isn't often one of them. Even with illegal street racing and World War II multiplayer games on the shelves, the world's biggest games publisher manages to maintain its bankability without having its morals rifled through by bloodthirsty investors and consumers. It shipped "a family product" about killing people in Vietnam, for heaven's sake.
However, it's fair to say there is one product on the company's release list that has sparked anger in a lot of gamers. GoldenEye: Rogue Agent, which we originally told you about earlier this year, is EA's best attempt to leverage the James Bond licence while capitalising on the GoldenEye name that Rare's N64 title made respectable. Not only do a lot of people know this, many of them - particularly the hardcore - doubt the firm's ability to live up to GoldenEye's legacy. And they doubt it very vocally, using words like "cynical", "disgrace" and lots of others you can find on older threads. Indeed, even when we played it at E3, while we weren't depressed by it, we weren't particularly convinced either.
Which is why, parked in the only spot of shade we could find in the whole of San Francisco this month, we used some of our time at Electronic Arts' recent 'Hot Summer Nights' event to quiz GoldenEye man Chris Plumber, and see if he could convince us that Rogue Agent will be the game that it needs to be to justify the nametag. What follows is the transcript of our conversation, which you can also download in video form from Eurofiles. Read it, watch it, do whatever you like. Just let us know if you're convinced.
Eurogamer: What have you listened to most from the feedback you had at E3?
Chris Plumber: Well we've been working on a lot since E3. One of the biggest things is performance; obviously frame rate is really important to a first-person shooter. We've made massive improvements there, and we've also been able to maintain the level of special effects so that was really important for us. We wanted the bullet impacts to really create a lot of effects, we wanted to make sure the intensity of the fire fights was maintained, but you know, you've got to have your frame rate back as well. So that's been a huge improvement.
From a gameplay side, the golden eye is now being shown, and we're showing people some of the cool features of the golden eye. It's upgradeable with certain activate-able features, which give you big advantages in the game, and the two features that we're showing today is the magnetic field - and that's really cool because it lets you grab guys and throw them around, you can throw 'em out the window, throw them into other guys, knock 'em down, you can yank them towards you and take their weapon. So there's a lot of depth to that particular feature. There's also magnetic shield and the magnetic shield will deflect incoming bullets, so that's also real handy.
All these have a limited amount of power so you have to be very careful in how you use them and the our rogue scoring system works is the more you sort of play with style, if you play like a Bond villain, then you'll have more of the eye power available to you so you can kind of use it a lot more often. So we're showing off the eye.
We're showing off more of the completed melee system as well, where we've been... We always had this goal of having a really robust, powerful, simple melee system because in the Bond films, you know guys do a lot of fighting and it shouldn't be a situation where you're stuck or screwed or whatever when you run out of ammo - you should be able to take guys out. So if a guy gets close to you, one hit will stun them - punch them twice and they're dead - but what's cool when they're stunned is you can exploit the enemy. You can take him hostage - when you have a hostage he's actually extra armour and you can carry that armour around with you as long as the hostage is still alive. And at the player's will he can take the hostage and throw him - you could throw him out the window just for fun, or you can throw him into other guys and knock 'em over.
We have really cool knockdown mechanics now in the game, so let's say you're not so accurate with the grenade, and you don't take the guys out - you might knock them down though and that would give you an edge. You can run off and sort of do what you do best before they can get up.
The other things we're showing now is... we have Paul Oakenfold's music in the game. [Some music starts up in the background.] You know he's put an original score on everything. [Points at the source of the music.] That's not it by the way! [Laughs] And it's kind of cool, it's like having Paul Oakenfold in your living room spinning for ya. He's doing the entire Hong Kong score across the entire game, so we're excited about that as well.
And this is really the first mission we've shown people where you're really a villain. Now the first mission at E3 we showed at Fort Knox you were actually still an MI6 agent - you ultimately get fired from MI6 at the end of that mission. And that's when you go work for Goldfinger. But this time Goldfinger sends you out on a mission, and you're gonna go assassinate Dr. No. It's across the rooftops of Hong Kong, which is just a really cool setting. It's night, it's raining, there's all the cool neon lights and signs and stuff, so we're really happy the way this level turned out because it captures sort of the spirit of the GoldenEye: Rogue Agent game more than any of the levels we've shown up to this point.
Eurogamer: There are a lot of competing first-person shooters in the market coming this Christmas. If you're a general fan, which a lot of our readers are, why would you want to buy GoldenEye: Rogue Agent maybe in preference to some of the others? I mean, I don't have to list them, I'm sure you're well aware of them...
Chris Plumber: Well what really makes GoldenEye: Rogue Agent stand out and the reason I think people are going to like it is we've taken sort of classic first-person shooter gameplay and we've added a layer of depth in almost every way.
The sort of features that I'm convinced people are going to copy on shooters from now on. And that was kind of the goal. It was sort of like the original GoldenEye when you could do headshots, and now everybody does headshots and then forgets about it, but that was a really important moment in console shooters. So for us the way our melee system works - the fact that you can throw guys around - that is really cool. People are going to have a blast doing it, and that means the combat doesn't always have to be at long range; you can have close-range engagements.
The way our AI system works - it's unlike anything anyone's ever played before. It's the most advanced AI that's ever been on a console. By that I don't mean that it's painful or cheats or anything like that. It's just cool. I mean these guys will run around all over the place. If you can blow their cover they'll move to another part of the room, if there's switches in a room and they can activate deathtraps, they'll do that. But you can also, by playing like a villain, you can manipulate the AI, and you can make them lose their cool, and they'll freak out and maybe grab one of their own guys and take them hostage. It's just the kind of stuff you aren't going to see in any other game.
And this is all gameplay. It isn't scripted gags or cinematic cut-scenes, I'm talking about the actual gameplay. It just has a level of depth to it and replayability that you're not going to find in any other shooter.
And finally of course the golden eye itself, which gives you a lot of cool extra capabilities that you're not going to get in a typical guns-only shooter. So you can use your guns, you can use your hands, you can use your golden eye and intimidate the AI and play like a villain and we think that's a lot of fun. It's a lot of fun to be a villain, but being a Bond villain is the pinnacle. And these guys have it all. They have all the women, all the firepower, all the mansions in the States, and you know, rocket ships and you-name-it. And that's what we're letting players experience. You're not some punk on the street trying to make his way up through a street gang or something. This is a Bond villain world we've got you in, and it's just really cool.
Eurogamer: Do you actually encounter Bond in the game?
Chris Plumber: In fact, the first mission of the game you're fighting alongside James Bond. But the game really isn't about Bond, it's about the dark side of the Bond universe and all the villains. You've got Dr. No and Goldfinger, number one and Scaramanga, the man with the golden gun, and all these famous villains and you get to live in their world. You almost get to see it in a way that even Bond wouldn't get to see. You know, so these are the guys you hang out with. They'll supply you with your weapons and your golden eye and all the cool upgrades for it. And, you know, it's very fresh experience for people whether you're a Bond fan or just into first-person shooters. We're really charting new territory in every direction.
Eurogamer: I noticed that you've implemented dual wielding, which is obviously something that Halo 2 has done. Was that a factor in you implementing it into the framework of the game?
Chris Plumber: No, no. I wonder who came first. The reason we have dual wielding in the game is because the original GoldenEye had dual wielding. It didn't have independent triggers because the GameCube [he means N64] had one trigger. So we've always had dual wielding in our game, and I'm flattered to know that other games are also copying that mechanic.
Like I said, I think we're doing things with our game that people will follow now forever, just like the headshot, and I'm sure people will start adding the melee systems in like we have, and the ability to throw guys around, the ability to manipulate the environment the way we have with our deathtraps. So I think that that's cool. It's great to have competition out there, and I hope that we influence people just the way we've been influenced by other games.
Eurogamer: If you've played the original GoldenEye, and you're a big fan, and there are a lot of very vocal, big fans of GoldenEye who swear there's never been a better Bond game. Do you think that this one will finally deliver the Bond experience that they've been looking for ever since?
Chris Plumber: Well, we certainly want them to be happy with this game. We're all huge fans of the original GoldenEye, and nothing would make me happier than to know that the fans that are as passionate about that game as we are find this game to live in that calibre of an experience. And you know, certainly the multiplayer experience, I think right now feels very familiar to people who were fans of the original. We've really gone out of our way to make sure that there's that split-screen, competitive environment, and you know, friends around the sofa in the living room.
Eurogamer: Is that for up to four players?
Chris Plumber: Yeah, up to four-player split-screen. We're showing two-player split-screen today because we've never shown anyone the two-player, but the duel maps that we're featuring are very much right out of the Bond films. [At this point, the interview sort of trailed off as a band mercilessly ripped into Prince's 1999 right next to us...]

Bob Reynolds of Templar Custom decided to tease me last night, and sent over a picture of an integrally-suppressed barrel prototype he is developing.
The prototype has 10 inches of rifled 223 Wylde barrel and 12 inches of suppressed area in a total package that is only 17 inches long and weights 3 pounds, 4 ounces. Considering a normal barrel and suppressor weigh around two pounds each, and the "Dagger" weighs a little more than half that while shifting the point of balance back towards the shooter, it should make shooting a suppressed AR a much less awkward experience.
How well does it work? Bob can shoot it in his workshop without another sort of additional hearing protection and his single word description of how well it works is "quiet."

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- TheStreet's Jim Cramer says Twitter (TWTR) and Athenahealth (ATHN) could be overvalued while Facebook (FB) could be undervalued.
Athenahealth is a company that has said it is a cloud-based play, but many investors feel it is just a medical records play. Cramer says medical records is not a very fast-growing business and is a very competitive business. He used to like the stock but he has been very suspicious of cloud companies since the first week of March.
Cramer has also not liked Twitter and has said it would fall to $29 a share because it trades on metrics such as monthly average users and numbers of tweets, but he likes earnings per share as a metric.
Must Watch: Jim Cramer: Facebook is Cheap; Keep Away From Twitter, Athenahealth
STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more.
This is why Cramer likes Facebook, which he says has "genuine" earnings per share and a "road map." He believes the company is doing many things right and could earn $2 to $2.50 a share in 2016, which makes the stock cheap.
----------Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates ATHENAHEALTH INC as a "hold" with a ratings score of C. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate ATHENAHEALTH INC (ATHN) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed - some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, solid stock price performance and good cash flow from operations. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity and feeble growth in the company's earnings per share."
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 5.5%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 29.8%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Compared to its closing price of one year ago, ATHN's share price has jumped by 30.73%, exceeding the performance of the broader market during that same time frame. Although ATHN had significant growth over the past year, our hold rating indicates that we do not recommend additional investment in this stock at the current time.
- The gross profit margin for ATHENAHEALTH INC is rather high; currently it is at 58.16%. Regardless of ATHN's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, ATHN's net profit margin of -4.94% significantly underperformed when compared to the industry average.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Health Care Technology industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 1250.7% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $0.70 million to -$8.06 million.
- Current return on equity is lower than its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of weakness within the company. Compared to other companies in the Health Care Technology industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, ATHENAHEALTH INC underperformed against that of the industry average and is significantly less than that of the S&P 500.

Converse Jack Purcell Ox Plaid
Never before have I been a fan of Jack Purcells, but only because I'm so madly in love with Chucks. These shoes are changing my mind. They're simple, but unique; casual but interesting; fresh and completely awesome.
There is no question that sweatshorts are a necessity for anyone looking to lay low or be comfortable. Maybe you're wanting some super comfortable, super nice ones? Well, these are for you then.Added 9 Years Ago from Urban Outfitters
The new Garment Dyed Chucks are the infinitely more awesome than any of there other "upper" releases. The dyed cotton canvas is high quality and unique. I know these are slightly purple, but... well, who cares.Added 9 Years Ago from Urban Outfitters
I never cease to be amazed with Converse's ability to take the same ol' classic sneaker and continually recreate it. This style comes in blue garment dyed canvas.
Perhaps I just missed them, but I've never seen the Sunfaded Ox chucks in red and frankly, I'm freaking over them. I've never wanted red shoe so bad.
For all of you who have some sort of moral stance against chucks, a simple canvas shoe like this should suffice. They're a little more "grown up," but equally as cool.
There's no doubt that chucks have intigrated themself into most type of style. So, it's onyl fitting to have a nicer, classier chuck too. These are those!

"Overall, I was surprised and very pleased with how we skied considering that this was our first time on snow," said BHS coach Mark Walters.
Holter finished the race in 13:54.70 and used an extra burst at the end to nip LaSavege Bauer of Duluth East who was clocked in 13:54.80.

Back with Netflix
I first joined Netflix in 2004, and stayed until 2015. I took a one-year break, and just rejoined today, for the basic streaming plan, and started over with a one-month free trial. My list of movies and all my ratings are gone from when I was a member before, so I'm not going to bother rating all those movies again; I don't really need recommendations. The first few titles I searched for were unavailable, so we're not off to a good start.

5 Things to Make with a Jar of Nutellaby Michelle Baricevic in Recipes, January 5th, 2016
Though it originated in Italy, Nutella has become a celebrated staple right here in the U.S. Made from a combo of hazelnuts and cocoa powder, Nutella can be paired with just about anything. Read on to discover our best Nutella recipes for all-new ideas on how to use this craveable spread.
Hazelnut-Chocolate Icebox Cake
Take a make-ahead dessert to the decadent level with this chocolatey icebox cake from Food Network Magazine. Silky layers of vanilla-mascarpone whipped cream and chocolate-hazelnut whipped cream separate the chocolate graham cracker layers, which become soft after absorbing the moisture from the cream.

It only takes one bad fall or a debilitating illness for an elderly loved one to need assistance in daily needs. If your parent or elderly love one was being released from the hospital after surgery or due to an illness, would you know where they could recuperate? If your elderly loved one needs daily care or has long term needs and you cannot care for them, do you have a plan in place?
Are you ready?
In the assisted living industry, we meet many families in crisis. They don't know what to do when a loved one can no longer live alone and needs immediate care. They may be under stress about a loved one in the hospital or ill. They may feel the growing anxiety and guilt of no longer being able to care for a loved one alone. Families maybe facing a multitude of questions and concerns about who and where will provide the best care for their mom or dad. Making a decision of who will care for your loved one during a crisis and under pressure is far from ideal.
Be Prepared
The Red Crisis File is a new program that Aegis Living developed after years of witnessing families in a crisis. Before there is an immediate need, our Aegis team can walk you through the legal forms and documentation step-by-step that are required by the state to move your parent into a respite stay to recuperate from the hospital, assisted living for those who can no longer live on their own, and memory care for those with dementia and Alzheimer's. We create a file with this required documentation, along with emergency information, photo ID, and medical authorization to expedite the transition into assisted living when needed. If you wish, Aegis can keep a copy of this file at the Aegis Living community of your choice in case you would like to one of our locations to be part of your care plan as well.
By having this file and checklist of documentation completed, your family will have the peace of mind that in the case of an emergency you are ready to quickly move your parent into the care that they need.
Benefits of the Red Crisis File:
- Your parent can participate. Completing this documentation can open the door to a sometimes difficult discussion with your loved one about their future care. It provides your parent with the opportunity to participate in their own plan and communicate their expectations.
- No delays. To complete the documentation, you are able to schedule appointments with lawyers, doctors and pharmacists, when it works with your schedule. Your family will not be forced to scramble for assistance.
- Memory care. Many of our families who have a parent newly diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer's will find great comfort preparing this material now. It can be difficult to predict when a loved one may need more specialized care due to memory loss.
- Expert Assistance. The legal documents required by the state take time and understanding to complete. Our experts can walk you through the details and answer your questions. You have someone on your side.
- Peace of Mind. Your family can find comfort in having a backup plan in place for the unexpected and being proactive about the future care of their loved one.
Know that by completing the information, you can be certain that there is no obligation to move your parent into an Aegis Living community. This program provides you with the documentation that you will need on hand in the case of an emergency, wherever you may bring your loved one. The Red Crisis File is always free. We take pride in providing this public service and raising public awareness for families caring for elderly loved ones.

Clip: Don Byron plays Junior Walker

Jazzman nods to R&B hero
Lee Hildebrand
Sunday, February 18, 2007
Breaking the mold of jazz musicians is a habit with dreadlocked
reedman Don Byron. The Bronx native is one of the few prominent
African American jazz clarinetists to have emerged since the 1940s,
when the instrument, closely associated with Dixieland and swing
bands, largely fell from favor among young black musicians.
Byron considers himself a "multilingual" musician. He has performed
the jazz of Duke Ellington, John Kirby and Lester Young during his
16-year recording career. He's also composed his own music -- some of
it politically charged, as on the albums "Tuskegee Experiments" and
"Nu Blaxploitation" -- and paid tribute to Mickey Katz, the onetime
Spike Jones sideman who combined klezmer clarinet virtuosity with
Yiddish humor. And, outside the recording studio, Byron has played the
music of Igor Stravinsky and Herb Alpert, among many others, and
collaborated with pioneering hip-hop group the SugarHill Gang.
On his current Blue Note CD, "Do the Boomerang: The Music of Junior
Walker," Byron delves into "Cleo's Mood," "Shotgun," "(I'm a)
Roadrunner," "Pucker Up, Buttercup," "What Does It Take (to Win Your
Love)" and other songs from the 1960s by R&B tenor saxophonist and
singer Autry DeWalt, known professionally as Jr. Walker.
Byron plays clarinet on one track and bass clarinet on another, but he
blows tenor sax on the 10 others, including one non-Walker tune, James
Brown's "There it Is." The disc was produced by Byron's longtime
friend and manager Hans Wendl, a Berkeley resident of German birth
whose extensive credits include albums by Charlie Haden, Ravi Shankar,
Peter Apfelbaum and Bill Frisell, plus Bay Area artists Todd
Sickafoose, Beth Custer and Tin Hat.
"I always loved Jr. Walker," Byron, 48, says in a pronounced Bronx
accent over the phone from his home near Woodstock, N.Y. "He was one
of the few black instrumentalists that really had hits on AM radio. On
the white side, there was Al Hirt and all this different stuff. On the
black side, there were very few instrumental artists who could carry a
record the same way. We're talking about Jr. Walker and King Curtis,
and then the list starts getting thin.
"During the '60s period that I was growing up in, Jr. Walker and King
Curtis were the two guys that were actually on the radio, and I was
much more likely to hear that kind of radio than I was to hear some
jazz radio. It was important to me that they were there."
Byron heard Walker, who died in 1995 at age 64, in person several
times. As a child, he saw the saxophonist at Harlem's Apollo Theater,
where his parents would take him on the subway.
"It took like a half hour to get there from my house," he says. "When
we used to go to the Apollo, you'd spend all day there. You could see
the show two or three times and see some movies and some weird novelty
Later, while at the New England Conservatory of Music, he heard Walker
and his All Stars combo, at a bar in Boston.
"He was an entertainer," Byron says. "People say that I'm avant-garde,
but I really like musicians who entertain. That's what I liked about
Mickey Katz, besides the fact that he could play. He was an
entertainer, and there's an energy to that that's really nice."
Byron is on tour performing material from "Do the Boomerang" with
organist George Colligan, guitarist David Gilmore, bassist Brad Jones
and vocalist Dean Bowman, all of whom played on the CD. Will Calhoun
of the band Living Colour is filling in for regular drummer Rodney
Holmes, who took a leave of absence because of a family emergency.
Byron says audiences have been highly receptive to his interpretations
of Walker's soul music.
"When we played New York, it was just, like, 'Pow!' It was normal
people. Everybody understood what was happening," he says. "It wasn't
some vast intellectual question. It was people who like blues and
stuff. We got a lot of people who had never checked out any of my
stuff before, and they just had a good time."
Byron arranges his touring schedule around his twice-weekly duties as
a visiting professor at the State University of New York in Albany.
He's now in his fourth semester of teaching composition, theory,
saxophone and music history. The history classes allow him to expound
on his eclectic musical interests, which have recently come to include
the Texas country blues of Lightnin' Hopkins and the contemporary
gospel music of such performers as Yolanda Adams, Twinkie Clark, Kirk
Franklin and Donnie McClurkin.
His investigations of African American gospel music, Byron says, led
to a deeper appreciation for Walker's music.
"Everything that happens in an R&B situation is either something that
could happen in gospel music or comes directly from gospel music," he
says. "If you're doing R&B, you essentially are doing some of those
kinds of things. For me, doing Jr. Walker's music in the way that I
wanted to do it, which would be not copying Jr. Walker, came out of
studying the gospel thing.
"I realized that what he was playing was out of the same kind of vocal
energy that comes from gospel. I got to a place where those notes
actually meant something to me in a different kind of theoretical way.
I never really could figure out exactly what would make somebody play
the way that he did, but now that I've experienced this kind of black
gospel culture, it all really makes much more sense to me."
Despite his passion for gospel music, Byron has no intention of
playing it himself.
"I don't know if I really want to do a gospel project until I feel
somewhat religious," he says. "That is not the kind of thing that you
want to be faking."

Origine et quartier. Expliquer le salaire et l'emploi des descendants d'immigrés
While differences in the labor market situations between French individuals of French parents and second-generation French are widely documented, less is known about the causes of such differences. Preceding works attempted to control for human capital differences across groups. This study aims at distentangling the impacts of the residence location from the one of national origin. Using the sampling frame of the Labor Force Survey (Insee, Paris), one may define the precise neighborhood of residence of any given individual. First, some summary statistics are provided to give a bird?s eye of the relationship between national origin and residential segregation. Second, a three-term decomposion à la Oaxaca-Blinder is used to isolate : the human capital component, the residence location one, and the unexplained one. Results indicate that, while the residence-location component may amount up to one quarter of the total gap, the unexplained component in the employment differential remains substantial. Conversely, human capital differences explain most of the wage gap.

The Inside of Compatible Inkjet CartridgesAugust 10, 2010 1 Comment
If you have an inkjet printer and you are supplying it with compatible inkjet cartridges, you may have already felt why the original inks are so expensive when the compatible ones are less costly with the same printing quality.
If you are even that curious, you may have also reached that point wherein you are wondering what is found inside a compatible inkjet cartridge. Let's take a quick trip to know what keeps this product functioning just like the original inks.
An inkjet cartridge is basically made of a printer cartridge and ink, of course. Creating this product can vary depending on the store where you are buying it. Examples of ink cartridge manufacturing are refilling, recycling, and creating compatible or original inkjet cartridges.
An important part would be the print head which functions as the brain of the cartridge. It is the engine of the printer which protects the nozzle assemblies. A nozzle assembly has different parts too which include a tiny ink chamber, a resistor to control the ink's flow, wall for the direction of the ink, and a nozzle plate wherein the ink comes out to reach the paper.
Since the print head is very important for the printer and the inkjet cartridge, you have to make sure that you print properly and you avoid damaging this. One way to protect this part is to avoid printing when the inkjet cartridge is already empty. A problem that can happen if you insist printing is to cause the process of print head burnout which can create poor printing quality or even damage your printer in some cases.
Your printer is a very important partner for your computer when you are doing documents and images. However, do not forget that a compatible inkjet cartridge is also vital to keep your printer in good performance all the time.

Direct install energy-efficiency programs like this allow customers to make significant energy efficiency improvements with no capital investment.
Burlington, VT (PRWEB) April 01, 2013
As summer approaches, Efficiency Vermont is taking steps to reduce peak electricity demands. Incandescent lighting is a major drain on energy resources, so Efficiency Vermont is undertaking to replace it with light-emitting diodes (LEDs)—the most efficient lights on the market. LEDs can offer energy savings of up to 80 percent over incandescent lighting. What's more, LEDs produce less heat—reducing the need for air conditioning, and further reducing summer peak electricity demands.
Efficiency Vermont required an experienced and capable partner to implement the LED Upgrade Program, so it awarded SmartWatt Energy the sole program implementation and administration contract.
"We're excited to work with Efficiency Vermont and help reduce summer peak demand," said Matt Cinquanti, Vice President of Utility Programs at SmartWatt Energy. "Direct install energy-efficiency programs like this allow customers to make significant energy efficiency improvements with no capital investment, while also capturing significant kilowatt and kilowatt-hour savings toward the aggressive savings goals of Efficiency Vermont's Program Portfolio. We look forward to partnering with Efficiency Vermont to help relieve load constraints and achieve their energy efficiency goals."
Reducing Costs While Increasing Efficiency
The LED Upgrade Program will help targeted Vermont businesses lower their electricity costs, while also reducing peak electricity demands. Targeted businesses are located in specific areas of the state identified by the Vermont Public Service Board where electricity demands are high. The LED Upgrade Program is part of Efficiency Vermont's larger effort to help prevent the need for costly new power-supply infrastructure.
Scheduled to launch today, April 1, 2013, the LED Upgrade Program will offer a free lighting energy analysis and no-cost screw- and pin-based LED lamps to select business customers in St. Albans, Essex Junction and Colchester. Thousands of businesses will qualify for the program. SmartWatt Energy's South Burlington office will serve customers and will be contacting qualified businesses to guide them in participating in this free service.
SmartWatt Energy is a unique energy-efficiency firm. It provides turnkey solutions for utilities, commercial, industrial and institutional clients and also develops proprietary software that streamlines internal workflow processes and provides comprehensive program reporting. SmartWatt Energy's three divisions use cutting-edge technologies, design and processes to take on and solve their customer's toughest sustainability challenges:

Date of Defense 2005-10-10 Availability unrestricted AbstractIn this paper I look at 12 women who were on welfare and their barriers to becoming self sufficient through education. They are in rural areas in the state of Louisiana and relied on welfare as a support system. I will examine their abilities to eventually obtain education and stable employment. In this paper, I use the qualitative data provided by Dr. Pam Monroe of Louisiana State University to examine the relationships of schooling, skills and recent work experience to the women's paths to becoming self-sufficient. This study provides information on the extent to which education leads to job stability and the lack of education leads to poverty. Files

Panic attacks can come up at once, without warning and may make you feel like escaping from the situation you are in at that moment. Although panic attacks don't last that long, they may seem to take an eternity and can give people the feeling that they are about to die. Panic attacks are treatable and in some cases a self-help guide is enough. On this page you'll find information about panic attacks: what is a panic attack? what are its symptoms and what is the difference between a panic attack and panic disorder?
For a panic attack you need to experience a discrete period of intense fear or discomfort, in which 4 of the following symptoms develop abruptly and reach a peak within a few minutes:
Feeling of choking.
Fear of losing control / going insane.
Tingling or numbness in the fingers and toes.
Sense of impending death.
Chest pain.
If you have repeated, persistent panic attacks or if you have severe anxiety without having panic attacks then you most likely have panic disorder. As said before, people who suffer from panic attacks tend to misinterpret physical signs, causing them to think that they are about to have another panic attack. This fear of having another attack is what eventually limits people in their daily life. People often tend to avoid certain situations and environments, because they are afraid of getting another panic attack. This could lead to Panic disorder with agoraphobia.
If you think you are having a panic disorder, please consult a psychologist or psychiatrist. The longer you wait with treatment, the more severe the panic attacks get.
Agoraphobia is a condition in which the person feels anxious in unfamiliar environments, or when that person feels they have little control over the situation. Agoraphobia often becomes worse due to the fear of social embarrassment, because the person is afraid to have a panic attack in public. Triggers for the Agoraphobia anxiety are public spaces, crowds or traveling (short distances).

The amount of subterfuge entered into by those who took an oath to support and defend the Constitution is unconscionable! The more studying and reading I do, the less enthusiastic I am about being able to take our country back. This by no means indicates should be understood as me giving up or being defeated. In the end, we all may be defeated by those who have been working very hard for too many generations to count to bring this country to its knees (and patriots with it). However, this doesn't mean that we stop fighting. It doesn't mean we crawl into a cave and pull rocks over the entrance. It simply means that we stand our ground in spite of the odds that appear to be against us.
But learning more about how those who wish to destroy America have been playing the game and it's easy to lose hope. As William Cooper said in "Behold a Pale Horse," we may be screwed, but that doesn't mean we stop fighting (my paraphrase).
I take comfort and strength from the folks in Nevada who have joined together to fight to the overreach of the federal government. The federal government has decided that for the sake of a turtle, Cliven Bundy must remove his cattle from the "public lands" that he and his family have used for grazing since the 1800s. If it was not an entirely asinine situation, it would almost be funny. But this is not fun and games. It's the federal government taking a stand against American citizens and using force is clearly one option that the feds feel is necessary.
But where did all of this start? How did we get here? If I tell you, will you promise not to become unglued and immediately turn on your heel and go off in a huff because it simply sounds unbelievable to you? Thanks. I appreciate it and you will too once you come to grips with the truth.
I don't have enough space to go all the way back to Woodrow Wilson, under which his administration the Federal Reserve was created. Let me start with more recent presidents and their use of the ol' "executive order" (EO). Obama was not the first to use it. Bush before him was not the first. Clinton before him was not the first. Bush Sr. or Ronald Reagan before them were not the first. You get the picture. Actually, Abraham Lincoln was the first and he issued three of them.
After Lincoln, almost every president issued at least one EO (except Rutherford Hayes and James Garfield, who both issued zero). Things didn't get hopping though until Theodore Roosevelt who issued…ready? Teddy issued 1,006 EOs. Prior to him, the most amount of EOs issued was 71 by Grover Cleveland. The president who issued the most (up to George W. Bush) should come as no surprise. FDR holds the record at 3,723. That's a lot and what's tragic about all of this is that these EOs are seen as law today.
George W. Bush signed 291 EOs and so far, Obama has signed 172. Of course, since the total signed prior to Bush Jr and Obama took office totaled well over 7,000, there probably wasn't much left to sign because a plethora of Americans' rights had been given away already. We just didn't know it and most still don't know it. Some who know it refuse to believe it. Are you one of them?
What is interesting of course, is that a good number of these EOs signed by presidents going back to Carter had to do with national emergencies and the creation of agencies like FEMA. As it turns out – and because of specific EOs – FEMA will have nearly unlimited power once the president of the United States declares a "national emergency." Isn't that neat?
I recall Bill O'Reilly recently looking at the camera responding to a letter someone had written stating their concern that President Obama was going to declare Martial Law. With a look of arrogance that O'Reilly has mastered over the past few years, he said that his show deals in reality and President Obama was not going to declare Martial Law. Okay, Bill. Sure. Sounds like Bill doesn't know much about all the EOs that have been signed into "law" over the past few decades.
EO #11051 gives authorization to FEMA to put all EOs into effect when a national emergency or crisis is declared by the president. All the president has to do is declare a national emergency and FEMA immediately gains nearly unlimited power to do the following:
- take over all communications
- take over all electric, power, petroleum, gas, fuels, and minerals
- take over all food resources and farms
- take over all modes of transportation (highways, seaways, airways, etc.)
- allows FEMA to force civilians into work brigades under gov't supervision
- registration of all people
- relocation of communities – determine areas to be abandoned, establish new locations
All of the above were combined into one EO under Nixon. In essence, all federal agencies would come under the auspices and authority of FEMA once the president declares a national emergency and that can be done for just about any reason at all. Sorry Bill.
Is there a problem? Does anyone see anything that might be amiss, that could work against Americans?
To push it a bit further, are you aware that the Iran-Contra issue may have been used in part, as a decoy to suspend the U.S. Constitution? It didn't come to that because the perpetrators were caught, among them Col. North. Here's an interesting short clip of proceedings during which North was to give testimony.
The "Continuity of Government" (COG) is a very interesting and insightful phrase. While it seems innocuous on its face, it may well have been much more covert and secretive than we are led to believe. Notice on the video that the Chair asks Rep. Jack Brooks, a Democrat, to stop the line of questioning with respect to COG.
Folks, we need to realize what we are up against. There is a tremendous amount of deceit and subterfuge emanating from our government because it's being controlled (and has been) by people who are extremely powerful and who are not necessarily part of the government. These puppet masters give the orders and the minions that are loyal to them and not to the people of the United States, jump to obey.
The more we become aware of what we are up against, the greater our chances will be for success. At the same time, we also need to be aware that we very well may fail. That should not cause us to faint, but to gather every ounce of nerve within us to face that possibility, like true patriots.

Ricky Gervais is getting ready to host the Golden Globes for the third time -- despite saying he'd never take that stage again.
"What made you change your mind?" asked Ellen in an episode airing Thursday, January 12. "You said you weren't going to do it again. You said, for sure you wouldn't do it and now you're doing it."
"The reason I said yes the first time, I was very flattered. It was a huge global audience for a comedian. I like writing jokes. That's what I do," Ricky explained. "The reason I did it the second time, was I thought I could improve on the first. Which I think I did. I wasn't going to do it again, but there were loads of people in the press saying I'd never be invited back and that's why I said yes."
Was he shocked over the criticism he received after his first and second hosting gigs? Ricky said, "I knew what I was doing. It's the same as standup. I know where the gasp is going to come. I know when the laughs are going to come... I knew all that. I didn't think the press would... I mean, you usually have to kill someone to get that many columnists. They were still talking about it, so I was shocked at the reaction."
Ricky continued, "Maybe they were a taken aback, but I think they will be ready now. And it's going to be more of the same. I don't think I did anything wrong."
Will he cross the line even further this time?
"There is no line and I think people say 'Is there anything you shouldn't joke about?' I don't think there is. I think it depends what the joke is," he said. "Comedy comes from either a good or a bad place and I was just teasing them, ya know? It wasn't a room full of wounded soldiers. These are the richest, most privileged people in the world!"
Tune in to see the full interview on Thursday, January 12.

I have not slept in thirty- eight years. I fear the blurred images of trees growing crippled, and babies falling from the twisted, brittle, boughs will haunt my dreams.
I saw a woman yesterday. Her face long and gray, with lines of distaste burrowed where her forgotten smile once vivaciously played. Alone- she sat watching as her world around her erased. She rose with most statuesque grace, and walked over to a candy counter, where her ten dollar bill was replaced with a brown paper bag.
Anticipation washed over the pollution in her eyes, as she opened her heaven, and buried her hand into the soon-to-be litter disguised as a gift, revealing a finger-tip size piece of dark chocolate paradise, and popped it into her mouth- and the woman smiled again.
Everyone has become a monk- following an order of their own convenience. Mankind are like mice. Although they scurry about in separate directions through the maze of time- they are each sniffing out the same prize.
The prize; momentary satisfaction, even though the moment melts into a seductive memory once settled upon the tongue.
I roam within the valley of mountains built by human hands to house the restless. Even the sun attempts escape- radiating against shiny armor, becoming a reflection of white fire which severs back into indigo skies as rippled, pulsing, waves.
Birds perch on concrete streams- picking meticulously for feed through the rubble of the streets. Flowers wilt along the waste-side and realize, they have been born without reason to possess a scent so sweet.
I find myself wondering; if we no longer inhale the scent of a blossom, will the peddled angel cease to exist? If the wings of a bird no longer free us of our cares, and we no longer listen to their chorus, will they cease to accompany our ears, our sights?
And the lonely, search amongst the lonely- collecting more pieces of man-made device, in hopes that the collection will one day make them whole again.
I find myself wondering; how can peace breathe in a land where euphoria fits in the palm of a hand, and requires a battery charger as part of the divine plan? A plan conceived from iron dreams that spit upon the earth, to satisfy the cravings of man.
Who are the predators, and who are the prey- when each strives for the fortune which cannot be bought, only inherited, when the treasure before us the simplicity for which we were born to appreciate.
I am deserted, an abandoned orphan by the prophesy of 'what is, and what shall be'. I do not adhere to these plastic trilogies. I walk in the dust of 'what once was' - opening my eyes to all of earth's remaining purity. Lost within the wilderness of the machine, I run to primitive meadows of spiritual bound security.
-However, this is my time; the hour in which I was chosen to be. As I walk the path of roses, I must respectfully accept the thorns which score at the tender flesh of my feet- for these are the nails which have been driven by the blindness of humanity.
And I shall stretch my arms high, with faith by my side, that even in the dimness of light, that I may catch the fallen babies.
I find myself wondering; maybe it is I who is spinning to fast to be seen, and maybe it is the world- which is holding still.

"The music is loud and eclectic, and of the kind that can make it very hard to chew"
It occurred to me as I headed down to the Old Street roundabout and bore left towards Shoreditch, Hoxton and Bethnal Green for what felt like the 14th time in my last 15 restaurant outings, that the East End of London is not what it was. In fairness, I have no idea what it was, because until it became the spot where two out of three restaurant openings in Britain take place, I had never been to it. I just know it was not this.
I know it had Cockney rhyming slang, though, which has always struck me as a good thing: a street idiom with its roots in local oral tradition and its functioning register entirely fluid. But I have been reading recently of…

Former Australian foreign minister
In a strongly worded intervention in the maritime border tensions in northeast Asia, Mr Evans has written an opinion article for the Project Syndicate website arguing that Japan's actions are fuelling nationalism in China and Korea and making the tensions more dangerous.
Australia has been building a close security relationship with Japan in recent years to complement the long-standing economic bonds, and the Gillard government has moved to build relations with the new conservative government of Prime Minister
Mr Evans, the Labor foreign minister in the 1990s and now the Australian National University chancellor, has become an influential sounding board for the Gillard government since returning to Australia from his previous job as head of the Brussels-based International Crisis Group.
Several members and supporters of Mr Abe's government have called for a revision of past apologetic statements made by Japanese prime ministers on responsibility for wartime actions, including the use of Korean and Chinese women as sex slaves.
In his article, Mr Evans writes: "With the election of the new government, the voices of denial are heard again at the highest levels, and are resonating with the public, including the young, in ways that would be unthinkable, by contrast, in modern Germany."
"The more fundamental problem is that Japan seems unable, as a nation, to manage the kind of collective psychological shift that has transformed Germany, with which it is inevitably compared."
In a comparison with Australia that might prompt surprise in Japan, Mr Evans adds: "Apologising sincerely for the sins and omissions of earlier generations is never easy.
"Australia had a long national debate before we could say that we were sorry for the horrible past mistreatment of our Aboriginal people, particularly the 'stolen generations' of Aboriginal children who were regularly taken from their parents by governments until the 1970s."
During a visit to Australia two weeks ago, the Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida said past wartime apologies would not be revised.
Australia's Foreign Minister Bob Carr has previously said it would be unwise for Japan to make changes to a past statement on the use of so-called comfort women, and Mr Evans' comments are likely to be in line with private views within the federal government.
But he has gone further than any Australian government official in suggesting that Japan should have done more already and is now contributing to the growing regional border tensions, which some analysts think will result in a military clash between Japan and China.
"Even before Abe's latest wavering, there is much more that Japan could have done long ago – and which it should still do – to put its position beyond reasonable criticism," Mr Evans says.
"Statesmen, if they are to deserve the name, sometimes must take the politically uncomfortable high ground – and then bring their publics along. Leadership of that quality has been a long time coming in Japan."
Mr Abe announced this week that he planned to make it easier to amend Japan's constitution, which would pave the way for changes to placate nationalist sentiment in areas ranging from the defence force to education, but he refused to comment on the sex slaves issue.

Actor Michael Douglas and his 9-year-old son Dylan arrived at their New York City apartment after attending a Boy Scouts of America meeting on Saturday afternoon (March 20).
Recently the 65-year-old Oscar-winner opened up about parenthood and how it transformed him from the man he was in his younger years:
My career was the most important thing in my life, followed by marriage and children. And it's completely reversed now. I never anticipated starting a family and the joy of raising kids at my age.
Michael, who has two children with wife Catherine Zeta Jones – Dylan and sister Carys, 6 – is also dad to 31-year-old Cameron with his first wife, Diandra Luker.View Slideshow »»

Biggest Loser Families Recap: '80s Week
Biggest Loser Families Recap: '80s Week
Life on the Biggest Loser ranch was a little tense at the beginning of the week, since Amy voted Brady off the show. To lighten the mood, someone decided to celebrate the '80s, complete with teased hair, leg warmers, and lots of blush. Bob and Jillian treated their teams to '80s-style workouts. Jillian's group did some "break dancing"(I put that in quotes since the only thing they did resembling break dancing was a group wave) and Bob, wearing short shorts, led his team in a step aerobics class.
The physical challenge was an '80s health and fitness trivia quiz, performed with the contestants holding 50 percent of their weight in large water buckets placed over their heads. If they answered a question wrong water was added to their bucket, and when the contestants let go, they were doused with water reminiscent of the famous scene in Flash Dance. The prize, won by Michele after bribing her mom to let go by offering her a designer purse, was either $5,000 or giving another contestant a one-pound penalty at the weigh in.
The show heated up as we edged closer to the weigh in, to see who was sent home and how they look now, just
Toward the end of the week, the blue team met in private and Amy offered Vicky an apology as well as loyalty at the next round of elimination. Michele chose Vicky as the recipient of the one-pound penalty, which proved a good strategy since Vicky and Coleen, with only a three-pound weight loss for the week, both fell below the yellow line. It was tense in the elimination room, while waiting for Amy's swing vote to break the tie of two to two. At this moment, I think I even yelled at the TV like an overexcited sports fan. I was extremely disappointed that Amy voted Coleen off the show. Not only would I have been beyond pleased to see the super manipulative Vicky voted off the show, but strategically Vicky poses more of a threat to Amy's chance of winning.
Coleen was devastated to leave but now she practically glows. Just watch this video to see what I mean.
Were you as surprised as I was that Amy didn't vote Vicky off the show? Do you think Amy is going to win it all?

Zucchini Pastrami Kugel
5 comments:
Looks delicious!!ReplyDelete
Chag Samach! We were always fortunate to build our sukkah on our deck off our kitchen. Made it easy to bring the food. I do lots of crock pot soup on Succos! This week we had butternut squash soup, brussels sprout and leek soup and a vegetable red lentil. Good thing we like soup even in warm weather. Looks like you found another interesting pastrami recipe!ReplyDelete

There's no better guy to have in your corner than Ohio State Coach Jim Tressel and that's who struggling (to put it nicely) quarterback, Terrelle Pryor has with him.
Besieged by angry Ohio State fans who think his quarterback should be benched or moved to wide receiver, coach Jim Tressel defiantly said Tuesday he will make no major changes.
I know Ohio State fans are pissed off about losing to a then 1-5 Purdue team. I don't think anyone took them seriously, especially the Buckeye players, although they should be taking every day seriously. But to change quarterbacks now would be dumber than walking through a wall instead of using a door.
The Buckeyes have 5 games left, the last three are against #13 Penn State, #6 Iowa and that team up north. To hand QB reigns over to a newbie would be putting the weight of Buckeye world on their shoulders and I doubt that would result in wins against the above mentioned teams.
What I find mesmerizing is that many Buckeye fans are siding with Pryor only because the season is already "lost." This is lost? If being "lost" means having a 5-2 record and being ranked #19 in the BCS with 5 weeks to improved, then I'm sure plenty of programs would kill to be as lost as the Buckeyes.
Tressell will do the right thing and stick out this season with Pryor and see what happens. The real story will begin in the spring, unless Pryor shows in the next 5 games (6 including post-season) that he really is college Vince Young, the sequel.

A jet skier charged over the death of a swimmer who was fatally struck while in the water off Port Melbourne has been committed to stand trial.
Ivan Maqi, 23, is accused of hitting Robert Brewster, 51, with his watercraft about 5.40pm on February 24, 2012.
Mr Brewster, who was swimming between the Kerferd Road and Lagoon piers when he was struck, died in hospital that night.
Mr Maqi, of Roxburgh Park, is charged with operating a personal watercraft carelessly, failing to keep a proper lookout and failing to travel at a safe speed so he could avoid a collision.
He pleaded not guilty to the charges on Wednesday, after a three-day committal hearing in Melbourne Magistrates Court.
The hearing was told Mr Maqi, who had a male passenger behind him on the jet ski at the time, was seen riding his watercraft erratically and at high speed, and getting close to Lagoon Pier before Mr Brewster was hit.
A woman preparing to dive off the pier into the water also told the court she saw the two men on the jet ski look at her and laugh, and that she felt uneasy in the water with them around.
But the court also heard the wind made the water choppy that afternoon and that the reflection from the sun caused glare.
The man on the back of the jet ski told the court he had not seen Mr Brewster in the water. In his statement tendered to court, the passenger said he was not aware Mr Brewster had been hit.
Mr Maqi was bailed to appear before a directions hearing at the County Court on Thursday.

Response to the Glenn Inquiry People's Report
Response to the Glenn Inquiry People's Report.
The Canterbury Family Violence Collaboration today welcomed the release of the Glenn Inquiry "People's report ".
The Collaboration's Steering Group Chair Lois Herbert said the messages contained in this report are essential reading for anyone interested in keeping our children and families safe and healthy. Mrs Herbert paid tribute to all those victims, perpetrators and front-line workers who had the courage to come forward and tell their stories.
The Canterbury Family Violence Strategy is based on the premise that inter-agency collaboration focusing on improving the lives of children and families is a very positive way to make a difference. This is also identified in the Glenn report as one of the areas that is working well.
"In Canterbury the strength of our collaboration is that it runs across all sectors of society, and includes both Government and Non-governmental agencies" Mrs Herbert said.
The Collaboration has five strategic areas in which Work Streams take action, these include:
Co-ordinated Crisis Response, Prevention, Youth, Staff Learning and Development and Housing. These Work Streams are currently planning and delivering many projects across the family violence sector. Some recent examples include shared family violence training across organisations and agencies, research and education in local high schools to promote the youth voice within the sector and targeted multimedia prevention campaigns.
These Work Streams are the front-line of the Collaboration, which is developing a long-term strategy which puts the welfare of the victims and their families at the very centre.

Well, I was imagining my personal best and worst case scenarios of the season. Feel free to add.
My best case scenario:
- DH is nicknamed: 'the iceman'.
- S-Jax and Saras hug and burst into tears, while Indy sweeps the Spurs.
- Ron Artest's new CD is out while Sacto misses the playoffs.
- Kegboy gets sentimental.
My worst case scenario:
- DH looses it on the 1st round, and while targeting the ref he hits JO in the groin.
- S-Jax strangles Saras, then burst into tears, as Indy gets sweeped by Detroit.
- Ron Artest's new CD is out.
- Kegboy gets sentimental.

TODAY ONLY: Cheap Burgers at Ruby's Diner
Oh, the memories
Photo by JC Vera
We at the Weekly have a soft spot for Ruby's Diner. Are the burgers the best? No, they're good, but they're not particularly amazing. What about the milkshakes? They don't leave you unsatisfied, but you can find better. But despite the consistent okay-ness of the food, Ruby still won a 2013 Best Of, Best Milkshake With a View. The spot is such a part of the quintessential Orange County experience that when Seal Beach but up the diner's pier space for bids, no one else bid.
Well, today is Ruby's Diner's 31st birthday, and to celebrate, Ruby is treating us to cheap food.
Today only (starting at 11:30 a.m.), you can get a Rubyburger with fries for just $3.10. That's it, no strings attached. You'll also get a card good for a free Rubyburger with (string attached) purchase of an entrée that's valid until February 13.
For a meal with a view, that's a pretty good deal, and the January beaches are beautiful, so what're you waiting for? Time to head to the pier.
