View the best solar energy companies currently servicing Sedgwick, KS
Our 51 reviews of the 9 solar power companies servicing Sedgwick in 2019 shows you the best 10 local solar panel installation companies by reputation. Enter your zip code and bill into the solar cost and savings calculator above to also see the cost of installing solar with the best solar companies near you and to get free quotes if you wish.
Firstly, no solar contractors can pay to get listed at the top of our search results.
The order of our list of best solar installers is displayed based on a formula balancing reviews number and reviews score only from the last two years. If a company has a lot of reviews and a higher average reviews score, but is below another company in the list, it is because most of their reviews are old and the company above them has more reviews at a better average reviews score in the last two years (even if overall they have fewer reviews or a lower all time average reviews score).
We show all solar energy contractors that have received reviews of solar panel installation work they have done in Sedgwick even if they don't have an office in Sedgwick. There are a lot of renewable energy companies in the solar industry in the United States that service areas in which they don't have offices via contract installation teams. Some of these companies receive a lot of complaints (see the big national installers reviews like Vivint Solar, Sunrun and Solar City), but others have really good reviews and so we don't exclude them from our top solar companies lists. They often bring price competition to smaller cities where the local solar companies are so busy they need to put their prices up. It is up to you how much weight you put on a local office when choosing between solar companies.

I had Lawrence Wind & Solar (now LZ Flooring Plus) install ten solar panels on the roof of my garage. They were installed for personal, residential use with the city requiring a second meter. I was impressed with the product, the installation and the follow-up service provided by Lawrence Wind & Solar. This was the first solar installation for our city electric utility department, so a representative of Lawrence Wind & Solar met with city personnel and visited with the city council to adapt their billing system to the new solar service I added. This took many hours of study and explanation on the part of the Lawrence Wind & Solar representative, but I feel the billing from the city is now fair and correct for my circumstance. The panels heeded to be removed and reinstalled when I had after-storm roof replacement and there were no problems with that process.... read more

To much to post. I wish I went elsewhere. I will just say before you sign a deal with them please set up a meeting with your utility company and solar company and a electrician so everyone is on the same page and there will not be any hidden cost or any delay. Stand tough with them cause communication is not a strong point with them. Please shop around first. There is a lot of solar companies out there. I found one that is glad to come and make sure I am up and running soon. And I never purchased from the other company but there customer services skills are above and beyond what I expected.... read more
Had to reinstall 200amp service because they failed the inspection, failed the second inspection due to them cutting my gutter and never fixed it. Two months so far only for a 30 panel home install with two failed inspections and horrible customer service.

Working with Greenside Energy was an unbelievable experience. We got a half dozen proposals from installers before we pulled the trigger. Greenside didn't just sell us a solar system but educated us about all the componets like the inverters, power optimizers, snd solar panels. They set us up with an amazing web based monitoring portal so we are able to track our power production in real time. After The install was complete they used their quad copter to take an aerial photo of our system which we have hung up in our office! I would highly recommend giving them a call.West Main Self Storage Team... read more

Jaguar's most advanced, efficient and refined sports sedan ever.
Truly effortless performance, sheer driving pleasure.
A dramatic combination of beauty, luxury and power.
Jaguar's first compact SUV.
Jaguar's most practical sports car.
Powerful, agile and utterly distinctive F‑TYPE is a true Jaguar sports car.
Introducing I‑PACE Concept, a preview of Jaguar's first all-electric five-seater sports car.
Luxury, performance and technology taken to the highest levels to create unique Jaguar cars.
With 600PS from a 5.0 litre Supercharged V8 engine, Project 8 is the most powerful road legal Jaguar in history. Total production will be strictly limited to 300 cars worldwide, each one hand-assembled at the SVO Technical Centre in Warwickshire, England. Choose between the two-seat Track Pack version and a road-biased four-seater – both exclusively available in left hand drive.
SVO creates the ultimate Jaguar vehicles: the fastest, and the most luxurious, incorporating the highest levels of technology. Our specialist engineers, designers and craftsmen enable our most discerning clients to indulge their passion for Jaguar. The result is always exclusive, desirable and collectible.
Engineered to be the world's most exhilarating sports sedan, Project 8 uses motor sport derived suspension and a modified All Wheel Drive system for outstanding driver feel and agility. Damper mounts are ball-jointed to improve response and there are two ride heights – one for the road and a 15mm lower setting for the track.
The heart of the car is Jaguar's legendary supercharged V8. But speed and driving exhilaration aren't just about power. Jaguar's pioneering Lightweight Aluminium Architecture combined with Project 8's extensive use of carbon fibre – for the bonnet, bumpers, fenders, side skirts, front splitter and rear aero wing – keep weight to a minimum.
Project 8's body has been extensively redesigned to offer aerodynamic performance essential for a 322kmh car. This includes an adjustable deep front splitter, rear diffuser and a large adjustable rear aero wing. The wing's angle of attack can be fine tuned either to reduce drag or maximise downforce – producing up to 122kg of downforce once you reach 299kmh.
The supercharged V8 engine and lightweight body assure astonishing performance. But stopping power is just as important for a 322kmh car. Project 8 has the largest and most technologically advanced brakes ever fitted to a Jaguar – vast 400mm carbon ceramic discs with huge 6 piston calipers up front. They're light too, saving 18kg.
All Wheel Drive ensures superb responsiveness, traction and agility. No Jaguar feels more 'alive'. The handling is rear-drive biased, like a two-door supercar. The Intelligent Driveline Dynamics includes an Electronic Active Differential, as part of the advanced computer-controlled drive set-up. For ultimate performance, Project 8's uniquely tuned version of Adaptive Dynamics includes a new Track Mode.
Customers who select the track-oriented 2 seat version of Project 8 will benefit from carbon fibre racing seats, fitted with a four-point competition harness, affixed to a retention hoop. The 4 seat model features special lightweight magnesium-framed performance front seats with Ebony leather and Oyster contrast stitching, throughout.
Project 8 is offered in 3 standard colours, as well as five optional SVO Premium Palette colours. To make the car truly unique – a genuine one-off – choose the Bespoke by SVO edition. This includes a choice of 10,000 further body and accent colours plus bespoke racing-inspired decals, painted brake calipers, commissioning plaque, and much more.
The special lightweight forged alloy wheels are stronger and lighter than conventional cast alloy, delivering superior handling. The wheel's unique design reduces drag by 7 counts, while specially developed Michelin Sport Cup 2 tyres combine outstanding grip with comfort – making them perfect for road or track.
Project 8 is the fastest Jaguar sedan ever. Its 5.0 litre supercharged V8 produces 600PS and 700Nm of torque, making it the most powerful engine ever fitted to a Jaguar road car. Maximum speed is 322kmh and 0-100kmh takes just 3.7 seconds. While the car's 8-speed transmission can manually paddle shift in just 0.2 seconds – faster than the blink of an eye.
To own the next performance icon from Jaguar, please visit your nearest retailer or contact the SVO concierge team on firstname.lastname@example.com or +44 (0) 203 601 1544.KEEP ME INFORMED DOWNLOAD A BROCHURE

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – On a warm and sunny Sunday afternoon at Harder Stadium, it took the UC Santa Barbara women's soccer team until the second half to warm-up, but by then, Long Beach State had already scored two goals en route to a 2-1 Big West Conference win.
The Gauchos (7-5-1 overall, 1-1 in the Big West) were outshot 9-2 in by the 49ers (7-5-0 overall, 1-1 in the Big West) in the first 45 minutes of play. The only two shots they could muster were both on-goal, but relatively harmless. Long Beach, on the other hand, had seven on-frame shots in the first half, forcing goalkeeper Beth Ritter to make five saves.
Long Beach took a 1-0 lead at the 30:57 mark when Mimi Akaogi took a shot from point blank range on the right side. The initial shot was blocked by goalkeeper Beth Ritter, but Jessika Oseguera scored her first goal of the year on the scramble for the rebound.
Less than seven minutes after breaking the scoreless tie, the 49ers made it 2-0 on an outstanding individual effort by Taylor Nelson who dribbled through traffic above the penalty box. After freeing herself from the defense, Nelson lined a shot from 18 yards out that eluded a leaping Ritter.
UCSB cut the lead in half in the 55th minute when Angelisa Cortez picked up a loose ball on the left side of the goal box and lifted a shot into the upper right part of the goal.
In all, Santa Barbara was outshot 16-4, including 8-4 in shots on-goal. The 49ers also had a 6-1 edge in corner kicks.
The loss was just UCSB's second of the season at home.
The Gauchos will hit the road next weekend. They will play at Hawaii on Thursday, Oct. 10 and then at Cal State Northridge on Sunday, Oct. 13. They return home on Friday, Oct. 18 to host UC Riverside in a 7:00 p.m. match at Meredith Field at Harder Stadium.

2012.08.05., 2012.08.06.
Updated Sphere Model 2 : Added octagonal caps for the ends and matching pyramids to be attached to the caps. This is meant to solve the problem that it's difficult to attach the spherical biangles as they narrow to a point at the ends.
Started working on plans for Building Elements for paper or cardboard models.
Added a page for music with an example of how polyrhythms can be illustrated: Music.
Added a page for board games with a document containing empty chessboard and go board diagrams: Board Games.
Added a document with plans for a papercut: Star Spiral Pattern 1.
I've added a Geometric Patterns page with a section Papercut Patterns. On the latter, I have posted a document (along with the source code) containing patterns which may be of use for making papercut patterns (or similar kinds of patterns).
Added a third pattern on the Stellation Patterns webpage. I've also put all of the patterns into a single document.
Added collections of model plans on the models webpage. These are PDF files, plain and compressed (gzipped), in DIN A4 and DIN A3 format.
Added an Ellipsoid Models webpage. I'm currently working on plans for a model of an ellipsoid and I've posted the source code and files containing images on this page. However, this is a work-in-progress and the plans are still very incomplete.
Added plans for a third sphere model.
Added a Stellation Patterns webpage.
Added plans for a second version of a sphere model. This version has separate tabs, so the pieces are flush and don't overlap.
Added an Architectural Models webpage with plans for a paper model of the upper part of a clock tower.
Added a Models webpage with plans for a paper model of a facetted cone.
Added a Sphere and Dome Models webpage.
Added plans for a cardboard model of a Great Rhombicosidodecahedron.
Added a Curve-Drawing Machine Simulation webpage. It contains an example of a trochoid pattern.
Added plans for a cardboard model of a Great Stellated Dodecahedron.
Added more examples of interference patterns and a
flipbook with a
cycloid pattern.
Started working on plans for a knitted dodecahedron model. (Note: Removed 2009.01.23.)
Added a
flipbook with
interference patterns.
I've started working on sets of functions and parser rules for complex numbers and matrices. They use data types and functions defined in the GNU Scientific Library. GNU 3DLDF now links to this library if it is available. All code using the GSL is conditionally compiled, so 3DLDF should fail gracefully if the GSL is not available and a user tries to use any features that require it.
I have also added web pages for Complex Numbers and Matrices, but they are both under construction.
Started working on plans for a cardboard dodecahedron model with sundial faces. So far, I've only calculated the dial for a single face. However, there are diagrams illustrating the method. The files can be found on the Polyhedron Models page (Dodecahedra) or on the Sundials page (Dodecahedron Model).
Added pages for Catalan Solids (Archimedean Duals) and Rhombic Triacontahedron. The Catalan Solids (Archimedean Duals) page is under construction. The Rhombic Triacontahedron page has a sample of the net and a page with rhombuses for cutting out watercolor paper. The tabs also have markings for stitching the model together.
The same sample is included on the Polyhedron Models page.
Added links to 3DLDF, MetaPost, TeX, PostScript, PDF files, along with a couple of others, under Current Sample. Also added a link to a compressed (gzipped) archive file containing all of the source files and some generated files comprising the current sample: currsmpl.tgz.
Added an Origami and Paper-Folding page.
Added plans for a dodecahedron model on the Polyhedron Models page.
Added a web page for arcs. It's currently under construction.
Put first sample on the sundials web page. Will be revising it and adding explanatory text soon.
Added a web page for sundials.
Added a web page for polyhedron models. Not much on it yet.
Added a web page for Focuses. It's currently under construction.
Moved the examples of using the Braikenridge-Maclaurin Construction to the Conic Sections webpage. The Braikenridge-Maclaurin Construction is related to Pascal's Theorem. Given five points on a conic section, the Braikenridge-Maclaurin Construction can be used to find an arbitrary number of additional points. I plan to use this for finding the parameters of conic sections where only points are known. This will be useful in finding intersections and solving the problem of
apparent edges in perspective projection.
Added a Circles webpage.
Added an image of a double-napped cone with shadow on the Cones webpage. The parser rules and functions needed for making it are new.
It is now possible to set, transform, and draw right circular and elliptical cylinders and cones. I'm still working on the functions and rules for the 'cylinder' and 'cone' types. I've added web pages for : Cylinders and Cones, but I haven't gotten around to putting any examples in them.
Added an Important Notice.
Added a Wave Forms page.
Added pages for Elliptical Paraboloids, Hyperbolic Paraboloids, One-Sheet Hyperboloids, and Two-Sheet Hyperboloids. They are currently all under construction.
Added a Paraboloids page and a Hyperboloids page. They are currently under construction.
Added code for finding the intersection of a polyhedron and a plane. It is a polygon (except for the degenerate cases).
Added code for finding the intersection points of a polyhedron and a linear path.
Finished the non-default constructor for the Great Rhombicosidodecahedron. Added illustrations of it to the Great Rhombicosidodecahedron page.
Added text, illustrations, and code samples to the Cuboids page.
I've now implemented a way of finding the ellipse that represents the intersection of an ellipsoid and a plane. See the The Intersection Points of an Ellipsoid and a Plane for more information.
Added Polyhedra, Cuboids, Regular Platonic Polyhedra, and Semi-Regular Archimedean Polyhedra pages. They're currently under construction.
Added a Quadric Surfaces page. It's currently under construction.
Added a Prime Numbers page.
Adding a Conic Sections page.
Working on functions for finding the intersection points of a linear path and a hyperbola.
Adding parser rules and functions for parabolæ.
Added a Hyperbolæ page.
Started working on a web page for the 3DLDF language.
Added a Parabolæ page.
The ellipsoid data type now works. See Ellipsoid for more information.
The sphere data type now works. See Spheres for more information.
I have now removed all of the declarations and rules for
expressions, e.g., path_like_variable,
path_like_primary, ellipse_like_secondary,
etc. These rules tended to cause conflicts, so I've decided to replace
them with separate rules for each type.
I've also removed the debugging code from the rules that I had
to change. This substantially reduces the size of the file parser.c++,
generated by GNU Bison from the parser input files. It is not possible
to break this file up into parts and compile them separately. The
length of time it takes to compile it is a bottleneck in development
and installation. I am therefore trying to reduce its size.
Removing these unnecessary rules and reducing the amount of debugging
code seems to have helped. I also plan to replace a lot of code in
the parser actions with function calls.
PLEASE NOTE: Since I've removed the code involving x_like expressions,
some things that used to work are temporarily unavailable. I will
be replacing the
collective rules that I've removed with individual rules
for the individual types. It will probably take me awhile before I've
replaced all of the ones that were formerly available.
Added a Sources section.
Added a Graph Paper (Plain and Perspective) page.
Added a Converting TeX Text to Images section.

The Galilee is not a large region. A mere 80 miles separate its northern border-the peak of Mount Hermon from its southernmost boundary along the Jezreel Plain, the site of biblical Armageddon.
Its eastern reaches, on the far edge of the Golan plateau, lie only 50 miles from the Mediterranean sea in the west, but these 5,000 square miles encompass amazingly beautiful and contrasting scenery: mountains and valleys, fertile plateaus and stark cliffs and glimmering seacoast.
The dirve just one hour from one end of the Galilee to the other, and it is also a short hop from major attractions all around Israel: a two hour drive to Tel Aviv,under three hours to Jerusalem or the Dead Sea.
Six thousand years ago, the Galilee was already bustling with human activity.The natural forests that covered Galilee mountains were cleared, and replaced with farms and villages.on the plains, large cities sprung up.
About 4,000 years ago, Hazor, of biblical fame,was a world famous trading centre. Some 3,500 years ago, Joshua and the Israelite tribes conquered the Galilee and settled there, side by side with the pagan indigenous population.
The Galilee mountains were the birthplace of Jewish mysticisim. Shimon Bar Yohai, regarded as the first Jewish mystic, lived in the Galilee in the second century CE.
In the sixeenth century, the small town of Safed became the birth-place of Kabbalah.
The Galilee today is still a relatively unknown destination. Its tourism facilities have developed slowly but in the past few years the hospitality of its people, and the growing world wide interest in agro-tourism and eco-tourism, have made the region increasingly popular. The Galilees ancient sites have been preserved and restored-the old city of Acre, the town of Safed, the antiquities of Hazor and Dan, to name a few.
Natural treasures, such as the sources of the Jordan River, the Hula National Park, and the Biriya forest, await the visitor who loves the great outdoors.
The Galilee as a travel destination is a place to take in slowly, a place to sit in the shade of an ancient olive tree, bask in the sun on a quite beach, or walk along a cobblestone lane still echoing with footsteps of countries. Its mystical atmosphere takes the visitor far away from the frenetic world we live in today.

CarSim, BikeSim, and TruckSim software tools simulate and animate dynamic tests of cars, motorcycles, scooters, racecars, and trucks, using standard Windows PCs. The math models, based on 30 years of university research in vehicle dynamics, simulate braking, handling, ride, stability, and acceleration with high fidelity. Core models can be extended with other software such as Simulink. The internal toolbox of VS Command language adds a powerful run-time programming capability that allows users to write their own code into the solver by which to define new variables, import and export variables, perform basic math functions (including branching), or even add new differential equations. Real-time versions test hardware-in-the-loop (HIL). Engineers use driving simulators with CarSim to feel subtle aspects of performance.
Engineers at OEMs use our software to prove initial concepts, select components, accelerate physical testing programs, and analyze proposed and existing vehicles. Suppliers test components on vehicles that are not yet available. Easy sharing of data sets and animations via e-mail facilitate joint development programs between OEMs and suppliers. The software is easy to use, so more and more engineers making decisions involving vehicle behavior use Mechanical Simulation products to make better decisions more quickly.
Ideal for use for with Computer Vision Toolbox and Image Processing Toolbox for advance driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicle development and testing.

Lehtonen's 42 saves help Stars beat Canucksby Kevin Woodley
VANCOUVER -- Kari Lehtonen gave the Dallas Stars a chance in the second period Sunday night against the Vancouver Canucks.
Lehtonen's teammates made sure their goaltender was rewarded for his efforts by playing a strong third, and the Stars left Rogers Arena with their third straight win on a swing through Western Canada.
Erik Cole snapped a scoring slump with a goal early in the third, helping the Stars to the 2-1 win.
Lehtonen was the difference Sunday night, making 20 of his 42 saves in the second period.
"Kari was great for us tonight," Cole said. "You could tell he had great focus and was on his game, and (he) really weathered the storm in the second period. He's been fantastic. Night after night, he continues to surprise even us by making unbelievable saves."
Lehtonen had a couple of those against the Canucks, denying Henrik Sedin on a breakaway 25 seconds into the game, sliding across to rob Kevin Bieksa on a one-timer in the second period, and adding a couple late saves in the game's closing minutes.
But the Dallas goaltender also got a break when Henrik Sedin had what would have been a game-tying power-play goal waved off for incidental contact with the goalie.
Sedin's sharp-angle goal was called off when the officials ruled twin brother Daniel Sedin bumped Lehtonen atop the crease. Replays didn't show much, if any, contact with Lehtonen, who appeared to stumble trying to get back as the puck deflected from his left to right, where it found a wide-open Henrik Sedin.
"It's a bad call," said Henrik Sedin, who made the scoresheet on the man advantage three minutes into the third, spoiling Lehtonen's bid for a second shutout in three games. "It's a made-up call. If it's a 50-50 call, then I buy it. If it's a 40-60, I buy it. Even 20-80. … Tough to take."
Even Lehtonen was surprised to get the call.
"It's one of those things I thought they would not call it, but when you see it, maybe there is something but not too much," Lehtonen said. "It happens so fast and I've said it before, I wish they would maybe use some video replay or something just to make them right."
Canucks coach John Tortorella made a similar plea.
"It's a big play in the game. I think we need to get the call right," Tortorella said. "All the crap we review, and they don't review an important thing like that. I just think that needs to change. It's the wrong call."
It was not, however, the reason Vancouver lost its fourth straight.
The Canucks have scored one goal in each of the four losses despite carrying the play for long stretches in each and averaging 35 shots.
"We're professionals," said Ryan Kesler. "We've got to start burying those chances. Really, enough is enough. We have to bear down and not get frustrated, but we have to capitalize. That's on us."
After getting outshot 20-6 in the second period, Dallas (11-7-2) tightened up in its own end in the third, holding Vancouver to 10 shots.
"Big 20 minutes by them, and Kari stood tall for us through it," coach Lindy Ruff said, crediting his team for bouncing back from that second period. "Go watch the third period again. Defensively, we eliminated the grade-A chances and had as many as them."
Cole buried the Stars' best chance, doubling the lead on a 2-on-1 rush 1:42 into the third. Cole one timed a perfect cross-ice pass from Cody Eakin past the glove of a sprawling Roberto Luongo for his first point in nine games and first goal since the second game of the season.
"(Eakin) showed great patience on the pass to let the guy slide through the lane and was able to get it over to me," Cole said. "Pretty nice to start contributing a little more."
Rookie Valeri Nichushkin opened the scoring for the Stars, who have won six straight road games.
After combining for 13 points in a 7-3 win against the Calgary Flames on Thursday, the Stars' top line didn't take long to open the scoring in Vancouver. Tyler Seguin, who had four goals and an assist in Calgary, won a battle with defenseman Alexander Edler behind the Canucks net and fed it out front to Nichushkin cutting hard to the net for a one-touch shot through Luongo before the goalie could seal the short side.
It was the second goal of the season for Nichushkin, an 18-year-old rookie who had two assists against the Flames. The assist extended Seguin's point streak to four games (six goals, two assists).
"We're building confidence as a group," said captain Jamie Benn, who had six points in Calgary and the second assist on Nichushkin's goal against the Canucks on Sunday. "Starting from our last road trip going into some tough buildings in Boston and Detroit, and just continuing on this trip, we're finding ways to win.
"Some are prettier than others, but we're getting the job done."
Lehtonen, who now has a .934 save percentage, has been a big part of it. He credited a breakaway save on Henrik Sedin in the opening minute for setting the tone against the Canucks.
Dallas opened the scoring five minutes later.
"It started kind of the way you don't want to, with one of the Sedins on a breakaway, and when I was able to stop that, it makes me a lot more comfortable, and it just went from there," he said. "I got lots of shots, and a couple good bounces and a post and one no-goal there too."
Luongo finished with 21 saves for the Canucks (11-8-3).
Vancouver played with its top nine forwards for the first time this season with the return of Jannik Hansen, who missed 10 games with a shoulder injury. Vancouver shook up its lines to try to muster some offense, dropping Kesler from wing on the top unit to center the second line, and trying to spread out the attack.
Despite 43 shots, it wasn't enough against Lehtonen.
"When you are able to make the saves, you want 60 shots, but this was plenty," Lehtonen said. "They were coming hard."

Longtime Loveland resident Larry Sarner announced Monday that he will seek the Republican nomination in Colorado's 2nd Congressional District, where he hopes to challenge incumbent Jared Polis on the November ballot.
Sarner, 66, said the liberal direction in which Polis has steered the district left him "no choice" but to seek election.
"Our interests are ignored by Jared Polis," Sarner said. "He represents his ambition, not us, in Congress. Congressman Polis has proven to be a serious threat to the welfare and liberties of the people. A serious threat requires a serious response, and that is why I am running to repeal and replace the current congressman."
On Monday, Sarner became the district's second Republican congressional hopeful to announce his candidacy. George Leing, chairman of the Boulder County Republicans, officially entered the race on Jan. 2. Polis, now in his third term in Congress, confirmed by phone Monday that he will seek re-election.
Sarner, who has lived in Loveland for 37 years, retired last year after a lengthy and varied career. Among the highlights are one-year stints as both reading clerk in the Colorado House of Representatives and legislative ratings director for the Colorado Union of Taxpayers.
He also spent 14 years as a self-described "volunteer lobbyist" fighting to keep Colorado's medical care "based on scientific excellence and opposing erection of dangerous pseudo-medical cartels."
If elected, Sarner said he'd work to stop "federal overreach," particularly on the issue of health care.
"Most of the problems in this country today can be laid at the feet of the federal government," he said. "It isn't open to much argument there."
Sarner said he hopes to "retract and recover" from the Affordable Care Act, for which he criticized Polis' perceived inaction. At a town hall meeting in Loveland last year, the congressman made clear to attendees that he wouldn't discuss repealing the ACA.
"Well, gosh, if it's a major problem, it's worth discussing," Sarner said. "That's the kind of arrogance that seems to grow up not just with Jared Polis, but with all sorts of federal officials. Obamacare is not the kind of thing we can afford to move forward on."
Sarner condemned Polis for focusing too much on the topics of education and immigration, when there are "more pressing items" at hand.
"The attempted federal takeover of the health system, that's much more concerned to the people in this district," Sarner said. "I don't see any commitment on his part to actually solving problems, but giving us more of the same. With that kind of approach, I fear for the future."
He added on Monday that he will be a vocal advocate for Colorado's oil and gas industry, accusing Polis of actively trying to prevent advantageous energy solutions.
Sarner also hopes to help replace the Common Core Standards by allowing individual states to seek ways to maximize the educational opportunities for their own children.
"In other words," he said, "get the federal government out of the way."

Get directions to Wabash College Fine Arts Center
Crawfordsville, Ind.— The Wabash College Theater production of Pierre Corneille's The Illusion, freely adapted by Tony Kushner, will begin a run of four performances on Wednesday, February 18 at 8:00 p.m. in Ball Theater in the Fine Arts Center. Performances will continue nightly through Saturday, February 21.
Tickets for the play are free. However, you must obtain your free tickets at the Fine Arts Box Office before attending a theater production. Tickets are available from the Fine Arts Box Office Monday through Friday—8:30 a.m. to 12 noon and 1:30 to 4:00 p.m. or you can email them at email@example.com. The Box Office will open 90 minutes before curtain time. For phone reservations, call 765-361-6411.
The production is directed by Wabash College professor of theater, James Fisher, with scene design by Michael Bricker, lighting design by James Gross, costume design by Laura Conners, and fight choreography by Mark McCarthy. The cast includes Sterling Carter, Denis Farr, Anna Fisher, Abby Gillan, Wayne Lewis, Matt McKay, Jason Roberts, and Richard Winters. Donald Claxon is stage manager and Brett Gann is assistant stage manager.
The Illusion is a modern rendering of L'Illusion Comique by Pierre Corneille (1606-1684) tells the story of a contrite father, Pridamant, who seeks news of the prodigal son he ordered from his house years before. Pridamant goes to a magician, Alcandre, who conjures three episodes from the young man's life. Inexplicably, each scene finds the boy in a slightly different world: names change, allegiances shift and fairy-tale simplicity evolves into elegant tragedy. Pridamant watches, enthralled by his son's struggles, but only as the strange tale reaches its conclusion does he confront the ultimate – and unexpected – truth about his son. An enchanting argument for the triumph of theatrical imagination over reality, The Illusion weaves obsession and caprice, romance and murder, fact and fiction, into an enticing exploration of the greatest illusion of all—love.
Pierre Corneille was one of the dominant figures in the development of 17-century French neoclassical drama. During his long association with the theatres of Paris, he wrote more than 30 plays, including comedies and the tragedies for which he is best remembered. His early plays include Clitandre (1631), La Veuve (163-32), La Galerie du Palais (1632), La Suivante (1633), La Place Royale (1633), Médée (1635), and L'Illusion Comique (1636). In 1637, the production of his most celebrated play, the tragicomic Le Cid, marked the beginning of a major resurgence in French drama, and in 1647 Corneille was elected to the Académie-Française.
Corneille's L'Illusion Comique has been freely adapted by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, Tony Kushner, author of Angels in America (1992-93) Kushner's other plays include A Bright Room Called Day (1985), Hydriotaphia, or The Death of Dr. Browne (1987), Slavs! Thinking About the Longstanding Problems of Virtue and Happiness (1994), Homebody/Kabul (2001) and Caroline or Change (2003). Kushner is also the author of numerous one-act plays, screenplays, opera libretti, essays, and adaptations of plays and stories by Goethe, Heinrich von Kleist, The Brothers Grimm, S. Ansky, Bertolt Brecht, and Ariel Dorfman.
The final theater production for the 2003-2004 season will be The Lord of the Flies on April 14-17.

It's a good thing Sunglasses Ed didn't dress up. The Jets-Dolphins game is nothing to be excited about right now; Geno Smith's been benched and Miami leads, 6-0.

Top Questions
+ All of your table runners are Vivid Color imprints. Can I get a 1-color imprint?
- Yes, you can get a 1-color imprint on your table runner, however, it will be the same cost as a Vivid Color table runner, which uses multiple colors for your design or logo. All of our table covers and runners are created with our dye-sublimation process, regardless of the number of imprint colors being used.
+ What type of material do you use for your table covers and runners?
- Each table cover and table runner is made of 100% premium polyester for a sleek, professional look.
+ Are your table covers wrinkle-free?
- Our table covers are made of polyester, which is a wrinkle-resistant fabric, but is not wrinkle-free. We recommend table covers be rolled up, not folded, when stored to achieve the least amount of wrinkles. Each tablecover can easily be steamed or ironed on low heat to eliminate wrinkles.
- Please check out our blog detailing how to properly fold your table cover to keep it wrinkle free!
+ What is the difference between Pantone Matching System Colors or CMYK Value?
- The Pantone Matching System is a standardized color reproduction system, which more accurately provides shades for specific colors. Every PMS Color is represented by a number and is more precise for logos and branding.
- The CMYK Value is a four-color process that layers cyan, magenta, yellow and black to form your color. CMYK works best for multiple-colored imprints such as photographs.
+ Can you match the color I need?
- We cannot achieve exact color matching, however, to get the best color output, we recommend you supply your artwork in Pantone Matching System Solid Coated Color numbers. If artwork is submitted in CMYK Values, the color can vary quite a bit from our print method to what you see on your computer screen.
+ How do I care for this product?
- Our table covers can be machine washed separately in cold water on the gentle cycle. If you desire to use bleach, use non-chlorine bleach. They can be placed in the dryer; tumble dry on low. Do not dry clean as the process may remove the ink. You also can iron them, if necessary, on low heat or use steam to eliminate wrinkles.

I have my 3 and 5 year old grandchildren staying with me for the weekend next weekend and I am trying to think of some new and fun things to do with them...
What a perfect excuse young people give us to become children again and revisit our youth! Although we do not have children of our own, we do have a Peter Pan approach to life which, happily, means we never fully have to face the world as it is.
As new bloggers, we have discovered your interesting and eclectic blog by chance, and are signing up as Followers to be certain of keeping in touch.
What wonderful activities for your niece and nephews. The monster masks would be a super hit with my kids too. Once I bought this paper airplane book. We had paper airplanes flying all over the house.ReplyDelete
What fun! Lucky, lucky niece to have you for an aunt.ReplyDelete
Oh, that sounds like the sweetest weekend, Gigi! Don't you love being aunt & uncle and doing some good spoiling & pampering of young ones?! LOVE the monsters kit. ;o) Happy Days ((HUGS))ReplyDelete
What a fun-filled, adventurous weekend! My kids love playing Scrambled States of America. The book looks like a great time, too. Would make the perfect gift for a certain little lady that I know. :)ReplyDelete
Lucky Niece! I love the monsters - what a great idea to buy that. I always wished I had a cool aunt like you.ReplyDelete
Cool stuff! Will you adopt me? ;o}ReplyDelete

You are a great aunt ~ xox AlexandraReplyDelete
You'll never regret making time for the kids. They're little for such a short time and when they're all grown up they won't want to make paper monsters anymore.ReplyDelete
Looks like the best time! Off to buy those paper monsters now, thank you!ReplyDelete
the joys of being the aunt!!ReplyDelete
sharing giggles with a niece is pure delight!ReplyDelete
Oh, I can't wait until my little niece is old enough to come visit so we can have fun together like this. There are so many places I want to take her to, and so many things I want to show her.ReplyDelete
Those paper monsters look like such a hoot!
if love was my little nephew visiting over the weekend, what board games i would play with him :)

Surprise! This time it's NOT the Catholic Church involved in a cover-up of a priest/child sex abuse scandal.
More here.
Views: 337
What a mess. Actually, there are multiple cases of Baptist and other ministers arrested / convicted for sex crimes as well. Not sure about the cover-up aspect although wouldn't be surprised.
US Buddhist temples too (I've reported on it) and yes, cover-ups were involved.
You are absolutely right, Sentient Biped and there is a web site dedicated to highlighting Baptist clerical abuse of children. You can find at the following URL
What is needed right now is focused and concerted attention ANYTIME this happens, followed by criminal and/or civil prosecution, regardless of the perpetrator's religious affiliation. This shit is NOT acceptable, FULL STOP.
Could not agree more Loren, unfortunately, the abused are fighting this battle on two fronts.One is the power of the Church itself (in Ireland they were struggling against a functioning theocracy) and the official policy of the RCC which was to cover up and deny.Which seems to be the policy now being adopted by other followers of Christianity. Two, is the power of the delusion of faith itself, the Congregants placed their Priests and Pastors in exalted positions and believed them to be beyond reproach.
Let's not forget these scumbags did not troll the streets looking for kids, instead, they stole the childhood of the children of their loyal believers and followers.If you have the stomach for it I am going to post a link to a video called "The Ressurection of Brendan Smyth" in it all of the issues of child abuse and cover up by the RCC are discussed. It is upsetting and informative and in my opinion essential viewing material.
And I have no doubt the loyal congregants of the JW's face the same level of pressure to stand by the Church and deny as do Catholics.

[Those curious about the history of the Victorian Web (which began before the WWW in another hypermedia environment) might be interested to learn that this document was one of the very first written specifically for what became this site by someone outside Brown University. (The materials on public health that Professor Wohl also contributed came from his previously published book — GPL.]
Both Victorian science (pseudosciences such as phrenology), and popular literature assigned similar characteristics to the Irish, Blacks and members of the lower classes. Both were seen as:
- Unreasonable, irrational, and easily excited
- Childlike
- Having no religion but only superstition.
- Criminal: no respect for private property, no notions of property
- Excessively sexual
- Filthy
- Sharing physical qualities
- Inhabitants of unknown dark lands or territories ( Mayhew).
How do these ideas contrast with those of the Victorian Gentleman?

So having figured out how to "Drill" all my crew up to 30/30/30 and have all skills, the campaign became a little less challenging, even on the black hole difficulty. So at the suggestion of my toddler son, I decided to attempt the campaign on the black hole difficulty with the "small ship".
So with an Armstrong class ship named USCV (United Star Command Vessel) Hornet, and an overabundance of crew (from the déjà vu thingy) we embarked on the black hole missions in cramped style.
Things were going well, and all seemed as planned, blowing through the first several missions with ease… until our encounter with the Cortex… Having crew members that have 30/30/30 stats and all the skills, usually makes hull breaches less severe of a problem, however, in an epic case of the wrong place at the wrong time, two of my crew ( Lieutenant. Deeoop, and Lieutenant. R. Cupit) were heading from their stations at the bridge down the long main walkway to take up positions at varying lengths along the Armstrong class corridor…. When a colossus volley of enemy fire blew our shields down and ripped off almost ¼ of the wall of the main corridor… both the crewmen were sucked into the cold vacuum of space…. This was especially demoralizing since in the previous campaign the crew of the USCV Hornet had only lost two crewmen during the entire length of the campaign. However, they were able to pull themselves together and defeat the Cortex. The following are copies of the two Lieutenants' eulogies:
We regret to inform you that Lieutenant Reuben Cupit who lived and worked aboard the USCV Hornet was sucked through a hull breach into the vacuum of Space during a recent battle against the Cortex. He was a hard working and competent crewman and his quirky and often off color sense o f humor will be missed by his crewmates, although his belief that "duct tape can fix anything" will not. May the Health and prosperity that evaded you in this life embrace you in the next Crewman Cupit.
Eep oop tet fall ymk oup[ treb numb gut geef groof took hump reek fink reeck yook elyym gimp- grim on Tue nites – hhef hji nnme ded ffr hhyiu ndtg nbfesc vguj bhgyb frrth juyyj n iioin wljfnrogjh nkejfjefkj eoo djsdjs lomjd od ojcc
(this was Lieutenant. Deeoop's eulogy, and was offered in the native language of the Midorians, and Capt. Hegwood is still awaiting the full translation, to know if he should be offended.).
Progress continued on from there and the crew made it through the next several missions, including the battle of Earth without the loss of a single additional crewman. Morale was high as we pursued the Antorians and the traitor Micari to the Ant's home world of Antoria.
-Note here that at the battle of Antoria… the ants and Micari's crew actually destroyed the USCV Hornet and it's entire crew 13 times. It was repeated crushing and maiming… mainly as the result of the fact that on the small Armstrong class ship you can not revive, nor can you have grenades… as a result if you plan on attempting to beat the game on the black hole level with the Armstrong class ship, resign yourself to the fact that if you make it to Antoria you may be subjecting your crew to sort of reception the Serenity might have received from the Reivers… repeatedly… and I quote:
"If they take the ship, they'll rape us to death, eat our flesh, and sew our skins into their clothing. And, if we're very, very lucky, they'll do it in that order."
―Zoë Alleyne Washburne
Having said all that here is the synopsis of the last battle at Antoria in which the crew of the USCV Hornet Armstrong class star ship won the day.
After dropping out of hyperspace, and exchanging the usual un-pleasantries with the Antorian Captain, the battle began. Capt. Hegwood had come to the conclusion that if this Armstrong class vessel was going to win here, that the guns (laser cannon & Machine Gun) would have to manage on minimal crew, freeing up two additional tactical officers to beat back the boarding parties that would inevitably be coming. That gave us a total of 8 Tactical officers (4 Bridge Crew & 4 Gunners), although each gun would be run by 1 crewman, leaving 6 to man the hallways. The Battle started with a volley from them, that ripped down our shields and we got the familiar warning sound from the computer alerting us to the fact that we were being boarded. At once Jr. Lieutenant Eli sprung into action, barking orders and leading the charge against the Ants. Lieutenant Eli had been in charge of the drilling process that resulted in every permanent member of the Crew having a '30' Tactical score, and the ability to fire rapidly and accurately. The crew respected him nearly as much as they did their captain! Meanwhile, the Capt. kept the Engineers and Science officers on top of the shield levels, and maneuverability. As soon as the power was sapped to dodge an enemy shot, they were beginning the production of another unit of energy for the next blast. (it is important to note, on black hole at Antoria in an Armstrong class ship, you must be producing tokens EVERY time one is used… immediately). Shields management was a little more tricky. Part of the process was trying to determine, when to reinforce them… often this meant taking another shot from the Antorian Dreadnaught while shields were already down, and hoping the hull wouldn't give way in too many places, so as to be able to reinforce the shields literally just before the enemy's transporters were ready send over more ants, delaying the Antorian Hoard, and buying Eli and his boys some time to clear the corridors. And clear they did, with surgeon like precision… All the while the two men manning the Guns, Ensign Tison on the Machine Gun, and P.P. Mike on the Laser Cannon, worked with perfect accuracy, meticulous in their execution. (It is also important to note that during this battle, you can not miss… ever… not with one laser cannon blast… or machine gun bullet… they must die fast, because every time either of these two ships shoots or beams over parties your chances of dying increase drastically… you may think this is hyperbole, but I'm not kidding… you'll just make it out of Antoria on Black hole in an Armstrong by the skin of your teeth… so DON'T MISS!! Your Crew's life may depend on it!) They landed every shot!!!! As the sound came ringing over the intercom that the Antorian Dreadnaught had been destroyed, there was almost involuntary cheer that rose across the ship… followed by the sounds of phaser blasts, as Eli and his boys finished off the remainder of the boarding parties… and then silence… as we all waited for the other shoe to drop… and we knew it was coming… really… but it never came… in the unexpected long pause, Engineers scrambled to put out fires, and churn out units of energy (tokens) while our two science officers (that's right only two … did I mention we were on an Armstrong class?) hurriedly tended to the wounded. In the midst of this odd moment of peace, while searching the ship for damage, we noticed it… there was an ant left, in the engine room… (honestly this was a blessing, since he delayed the arrival of the next ship allowing us to finish repairs and make tokens... but for story purposes)… an Ant TRYING TO SABOTAGE OUR LIGHT WAVE ENGINES!!! APPARENTLY the reason the other ship that our long-range scanners had picked up wasn't already attacking us, was because they were trying to give this ant time to do his dirty work, and blow us from the inside! But Lieutenant. Eli found him just in time and put an end to his scheme… Just then… Micari and his Modified ship showed up…. And what ensued was more of the same… only this time it was totally impossible for us to out maneuver (dodge) the enemy, or keep shields up for any significant length of time… Their ship was just too powerful!! Lucky for our crew the hull breaches were in unoccupied areas… on the other hand, we weren't lucky enough to have any enemies sucked out into space either… There was literally fire EVERYWHERE!! Every Engineer that had the instant repair skill (4 of the 6… the Midorians we had received from Gorn didn't go through drills until they were at 30/30/30… now that I think about it this was just arrogance on my part… they had been peripheral on the last two campaigns, and you don't get to keep them, but the fact that I didn't spend the time to train them up to the caliber of the rest of my crew… was stupid…anyway) had exhausted their "instant repair" skill within the first 4 volleys of enemy fire. It was one blast of enemy fire after another, and the boarding parties never stopped! The one good thing about the small size of the Armstrong class is that almost every battle goes on near the Shield room if it is centrally placed, allowing for Tactical crew members to run there for quick medical attention as the battle rages on… Finally there was Micari's voice… We had defeated his ship!!! As the crew cheered the distant explosion of the enemy vessel, we got too carefree, and while cleaning up the remainder of the enemies, we heard the call no captain ever wants to hear… "Capt. Man down, It's Eli sir". Before Medical could reach him Leut. Eli had finished off the last ant, but one of the traitorous humans had done him in… Captain Hegwood yelled at the chief Science officer Jo "Revive Him NOW!!!". She could only reply " I can't sir… this is an Armstrong Class vessel… no big rooms -sniff-" So with a heavy heart the Crew of the USCV Hornet Armstrong Class Star Ship returned home, down one man…
We regret to inform you that during a battle against the Antorians, Lieutenant Eli Thomas, while in the defense of his crew and ship, gave his life to ensure victory. He is awarded the highest honor that Star Command gives… a BIG ROOM in his name… which can produce revive tokens… so that by his death he can continue to serve 'so that others may live". You will be missed…

avert your eyes, if you must, or see more here. with a pun that would make Kenny Cole jealous, Microsoft is trying, yet again, to be relevant and cool with "Softwear," 80s inspired Microsoft clothing.
to be fair, i owned a Microsoft PC up until this year. i do not hate Microsoft. i think Vista ("Mojave") was a terrible mistake of epic proportion and handled poorly, but that's about the extent of my hatred.
the bottom line is that Microsoft just isn't cool and they desperately, desperately want to be. we have a computer company making clothing now. and a "conscious" rapper (whom i actually like, mind you) backing it up (that's a head trip).
people make Apple and Microsoft tee shirts for the hell of it anyway. because they're fans. because they support the brand. but Apple is that kid who's cool without trying too hard. Apple doesn't mean to throw epic parties... it just happens. elegant, sophisticated, well-dressed.
with Softwear, Microsoft is the less cool younger brother who wants to emulate and get a piece. but Microsoft is automatically positioning themselves as 30 years old. explain this to me. nostalgia? alright, maybe a little. but i just don't see it helping in the long run.
...unless Microsoft really does start throwing parties.
maybe in Williamsburgh. so Bill Murray can come.
Microsoft tries to be cool, again.

"Mr. Sound Effects" Wes Harrison Still Having Fun With Shure LAKE DELTON, WI, September 10, 2008 — The Tommy Bartlett Show went on throughout the summer here on the scenic shores of Lake Delton, all this despite catastrophic weather events early in the season that caused the body of water to drain into the nearby Wisconsin River. With only a sea of mud remaining where the world famous trick water skiing portion of the Bartlett act normally thrilled gathered crowds, the show called upon the talents of its land-based crowd favorites to save the day, with legendary comedian and voice actor Wes Harrison leading the charge. "Regardless of what Mother Nature had in mind, the show is indeed going on," Harrison said with hard-earned bragging rights midway through the season, which ended September 1. "The water skiers may be taking a break until the lake can be filled again, but that hasn't stopped the crowds from coming out. Many of these people have been coming here for years, even generations. Even the fact that the water was gone couldn't keep them away." Better known in many circles as "Mr. Sound Effects," Harrison uses only his own vocal chords and a vintage Shure model 530 Slendyne microphone to realistically create the sound of roaring locomotives, galloping horses, passing jet aircraft, speed boats, race cars, and a gamut of other spellbinding aural delights. Beyond the Tommy Bartlett stage, he has been a regular on TV talk shows over the years and contributed to many Hollywood soundtracks like Peter Pan, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and the Tom and Jerry cartoon series. A diehard Shure fanatic, Harrison says he couldn't do his act if it weren't for his Slendyne mic. "This microphone has been with me a long, long time," he imparts with fond feelings reserved for old friends. "Its sound is really a big part of who Wes Harrison has come to be and still is." According to a Shure data sheet dated December 1954, the omni-directional Slendyne microphone is a "slender, moving coil microphone built to provide wide-range reproduction of music and voice." The same data sheet says nothing about being waterproof; however, that's something Harrison put to the test this year when flooding preceding the draining of Lake Delton submerged his Slendyne and kept it there until rescuers arrived days later. Nervously wondering if he could ever replace the out-of-production, out-of-stock element so vital to his act, Harrison did what logically was the first step on the road to recovery: Try to dry the mic out."I cleaned it off and let it air dry at normal room temperatures," he relates, "and was totally stunned when I plugged it in and it worked as well as the day I first got it. Thanks to Shure, my portion of the show did indeed go on." Harrison launched his career in 1941 while working as a counselor at a YMCA boy's camp on the Chesapeake Bay. In charge of summoning stray campers over the camp public address system, he began using the opportunity to hone his sound effects skills. Radio/TV host Ted Mack gave him his real start in show business in the late '40s, and by the early '60s, he had appeared on the Ed Sullivan, Jack Paar, and Gary Moore shows as well as on the national nightclub circuit. Still as active as ever today, Harrison appears regularly at fairs, festivals, sporting events, and on cruise ships, performing one of four different routines.

The Historic New Orleans Collection [1991.34.3]
Pierre Le Moyne, Sieur d'Iberville (1661-1706), pioneered the successful French settlement of lower Louisiana in 1698, after King Louis XIV ordered him to fortify the region against British and Spanish encroachments. On December 31, he set out from Léogane, Saint Domingue's seventeenth-century capital. In Louisiana, he established a fort on Biloxi Bay, in present-day Mississippi, and returned to France. Between 1699 and 1702, he led two subsequent expeditions to Louisiana, stopping in Saint Domingue for additional colonists and supplies. His voyages marked the beginning of close ties between French Louisiana and France's Caribbean colony.

Computable Contracts Explained – Part 1
Computable Contracts Explained – Part 1
I had the occasion to teach "Computable Contracts" to the Stanford Class on Legal Informatics recently. Although I have written about computable contracts here, I thought I'd explain the concept in a more accessible form.
I. Overview: What is a Computable Contract?
What is a Computable Contract? In brief, a computable contract is a contract that a computer can "understand." In some instances, computable contracting enables a computer to automatically assess whether the terms of a contract have been met.
How can computers understand contracts? Here is the short answer (a more in-depth explanation appears below). First, the concept of a computer "understanding" a contract is largely a metaphor. The computer is not understanding the contract at the same deep conceptual or symbolic level as a literate person, but in a more limited sense. Contracting parties express their contract in the language of computers – data – which allows the computer to reliably identify the contract components and subjects. The parties also provide the computer with a series of rules that allow the computer to react in a sensible way that is consistent with the underlying meaning of the contractual promises.
Aren't contracts complex, abstract, and executed in environments of legal and factual uncertainty? Some are, but some aren't. The short answer here is that the contracts that are made computable don't involve the abstract, difficult or relatively uncertain legal topics that tend to occupy lawyers. Rather (for the moment at least), computers are typically given contract terms and conditions with relatively well-defined subjects and determinable criteria that tend not to involve significant legal or factual uncertainty in the average case.
For this reason, there are limits to computable contracts: only small subsets of contracting scenarios can be made computable. However, it turns out that these contexts are economically significant. Not all contracts can be made computable, but importantly, some can.
Importance of Computable Contracts
There are a few reasons to pay attention to computable contracts. For one, they have been quietly appearing in many industries, from finance to e-commerce. Over the past 10 years, for instance, many modern contracts to purchase financial instruments (e.g. equities or derivatives) have transformed from traditional contracts, to electronic, "data-oriented" computable contracts. Were you to examine a typical contract to purchase a standardized financial instrument these days, you would find that it looked more like a computer database record (i.e. computer data), and less like lawyerly writing in a Microsoft Word document.
Computable contracts also have new properties that traditional, English-language, paper contracts do not have. I will describe this in more depth in the next post, but in short, computable contracts can serve as inputs to other computer systems. These other systems can take computable contracts and do useful analysis not readily done with traditional contracts. For instance, a risk management system at a financial firm can take computable contracts as direct inputs for analysis, because, unlike traditional English contracts, computable contracts are data objects themselves.
II. Computable Contracts in More Detail
Having had a brief overview of computable contracts, the next few parts will discuss computable contracts in more detail.
A. What is a Computable Contract?
To understand computable contracts, it is helpful to start with a simple definition of a contract generally.
A contract (roughly speaking) is a promise to do something in the future, usually according to some specified terms or conditions, with legal consequences if the promise is not performed. For example, "I promise to sell you 100 shares of Apple stock for $400 per share on January 10, 2015."
A computable contract is a contract that has been deliberately expressed by the contracting parties in such a way that a computer can:
1) understand what the contract is about;
2) determine whether or not the contract's promises have been complied with (in some cases).
How can a computer "understand" a contract, and how can compliance with legal obligations be "computed" electronically?
To comprehend this, it is crucial to first appreciate the particular problems that computable contracts were developed to address.

Stay Calm with THAT Person and Reclaim Your Emotions
Move past those old involuntary reactions with the help of hypnosis
Is there someone who always manages to aggravate you?
Do you wish you could remain calm when they're around?
When you have a problem with someone, for whatever reason, it can have a negative effect on your life if you have to keep seeing them.
Perhaps they make you:
- Feel nervous and intimidated
- Feel constantly on edge when you're around them
- Obsess over all the times they've done something to bother you.
And no matter how hard you try, just knowing you're going to have to see them can make you feel anxious and fill you with dread.
Living on edge
Of course, there are many reasons why this may be happening. It may be that the other person doesn't mean to affect you so much, but their mannerisms, like voice or general personality, for some reason push your buttons.
Or maybe they seem to go out of their way to bother you.
Whatever the reason, the good news is that there are ways in which you can learn to change the way you respond to them so they don't bother you as much.
And once you're able to feel calm around this person, you may find it actually changes the way they act around you.

Our new 26" wheel cross-country trail bike doesn't feature any never-thought-of-before pivot locations. It doesn't have any acronyms tacked to its name. Its tubes don't have fancy bloated shapes. BUT neither does it require a mechanical engineering degree to explain how exceptional a ride it can be. While most bikes flaunt their technology (being "digital"), we search to bring out the soul of a bike ("analog").
The Analog features our time-tested spec of Tange Prestige double butted heat-treated CrMo tubing with modern XC geometry. It has a longer top tube than our Groove frame and is optimized for 100mm travel forks. We did put fender eyelets on, but we don't feel many of the buyers of this frame will use them. This frame is more about off-road fun than utility. We do want to point out the elegant Tange stainless steel Sliding Dropouts, which greatly simplifies your ability to change the build from single speed to geared. Maybe the look isn't as clean as using an eccentric bottom bracket, but they are a few grams lighter, plus this is mountain biking... how much do we care about clean?
We gave it a classic look with the panels and the blue we picked will look really nice with a Fox fork. (We are calling it "Pacific Blue" after that award winning TV show from the 90's.... with (hubba hubba) Paula Trickey and Mario Lopez) The ride is balanced and compliant and rides lighter than it actually is. It won't have the clunky overbuilt feel of some entry to mid-level steel bikes you might have tried.
Available to our distributors and shops next week.

In November, when voters head to the polls, they may see some changes on the ballot. On Jan. 1, new State Assembly and Senate districts take effect, along with new congressional districts. In six weeks we'll be electing the representatives of those new districts. Those lines have been drawn and finalized, and will be in place for the next decade.
But there will be changes in next November's county and town election, too. Nassau County legislators have yet to decide how the county's 19 legislative districts will look beginning Jan. 1, 2014. The county must redraw its maps to ensure that each district is roughly equal in population, based on 2010 census results.
Redistricting can be, and usually is, a highly contentious, partisan issue. Just think back to last year, when the County Legislature's Republican majority tried to implement new maps in time for the 2011 election, only to be challenged in court by their Democratic counterparts. Accusations flew back and forth, and eventually the courts sided with the Democrats.
Those initial maps are off the table, and the county is starting from scratch. Legislators want to hear what members of the public think about how the districts should look for the next decade. To that end, the Temporary Districting Advisory Commission, a group appointed to develop suggested maps, is hosting a series of public forums throughout the county.
Public input is a key part of the process. It should be voters, not elected officials trying to preserve their seats, who have the most say in how the legislative district lines are redrawn. Redistricting is supposed to be an opportunity to empower the electorate. It is designed to follow the one-person-one-vote principle enshrined in the Constitution. Its purpose is not to protect incumbents by drawing lines that favor one party over another, often splitting communities, neighborhoods or even streets to better someone's chance of re-election.
