Understanding Efficiency Ratings
Categories: Air Conditioning Replacement, Ductwork, Energy Efficiency, General Heating and Cooling, Geothermal, Heating
There is a lot of talk about energy efficiency these days. Since your heating and cooling systems are responsible for a large part our your home's energy use, efficiency is important. You want to make sure you are not wasting money. When it comes to efficiency, there are a few pretty simple rules of thumb.
- New units almost always outperform units that are 10 years old or more.
- More efficient units cost more upfront, but will pay for themselves over time because your energy bills will be lower.
Understanding the rating methods used and how they apply to you is not difficult. A simple review of these terms can help you to make more informed buying decision. The terms that are used are:
SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio)
SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. This rating compares electrical power consumption of an air conditioning unit and evaporator. Federal standards call for all air conditioning units and heat pumps installed in the Charlotte metro area to be at least 14 SEER. For SEER, higher numbers are better. We explain a lot more about SEER in our article All About SEER.
EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio)
The EER or Energy Efficiency Ratio is similar to the SEER. However, a SEER takes into account the seasonal changes which will result in an air conditioning unit having to work harder in hotter weather, but not so hard in cooler weather. EER traditionally measures efficiency in window air conditioners, rather than central air conditioning systems. However, EER is the cooling efficiency rating used by Geothermal heat pump manufacturers like WaterFurnace. How does an EER compare to a SEER? The same cooling system would generally have a somewhat lower EER than SEER. For example, a 13 SEER air conditioner would roughly have an 11 EER. It isn't a perfect comparison, but it does show you that the most efficient geothermal units with EER ratings around 40 are much more efficient than the average air conditioning system.
AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency)
AFUE stand for Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency and is used to rate the energy consumption of a natural gas furnace. Just like with SEER, higher numbers indicate increased efficiency. As of 2015, all furnaces must have a minimum AFUE rating of 80%. This means that 80% of the gas used becomes heat for the home, while 20% escapes up the vent pipe or is otherwise wasted. AFUE measures only the efficiency of the furnace, not the duct system. Older furnaces with a continuous pilot light may have an AFUE of 56% to 70%. Most gas furnaces installed in the past 20 years would have had to meet the 80% standard. The Department of Energy is working toward increasing the minimum required efficiency rate to 92% by 2021, but for now the 80% standard remains.
COP (Coefficient of Performance)
This is another measure of heating system performance. The Coefficient of Performance or COP is a different way of measuring how much of the original energy put into the heating system is utilized as heat. Like everything else in the energy efficiency ratings, a higher COP is a better COP. While measuring gas furnace efficiency uses AFUE, COP is more commonly used in geothermal heat pumps.
CFM (Cubic Feet Per Minute)
CFM stand for Cubic Feet Per Minute. The method of measuring air volume for fans and ducts. SEER ratings are based on air volume of 400 CFM per ton of air conditioning. This is more important for air conditioning than it is for heating.
BTU (British Thermal Unit)
BTU stand for British Thermal Unit which is a measurement of cooling or heating capacity. 12,000 BTU's equal one ton of air conditioning. As an example, a 4-ton air conditioner would have a capacity of 48,000 BTU's.
What the Efficiency Ratings Mean
The higher the SEER or AFUE rating, the less power or gas is used. In theory a 14 SEER air conditioning unit would operate at half the cost of a 7 SEER device or unit. The question one must ask though is does the unit actually perform to the SEER rating the manufacturers' claim? Should you simply find a unit with a high SEER rating and expect dramatic reduction in your power bills for years to come? The answer is sometimes but more often not.
The ratings of the equipment were calculated in a laboratory setting. There were no allowances made for the air duct system, no consideration for the actual installation, or the building in which it is installed. SEER ratings are based on the assumption that the air conditioning system is correctly installed in the home with a properly designed and installed duct system that is capable of delivering the standard 400 CFM per ton air volume.
Systems that are installed to old, deteriorated, and improperly sized ducts do not even come close to delivering the rated system efficiency. Proper installation of ductwork, grilles, refrigerant piping and system startup procedures are essential for a reliable energy efficient operation. These ratings may be a good way to compare manufacturers' cooling or heating equipment but are not reflective of how the system will actually perform in your home. There is a lot more to consider in the selection of a quality comfort system than SEER and AFUE ratings alone.

Keypasco's Superwallet can solve theft of digital properties on blockchain
Blockchain technology is here to stay; yet the available security solutions are still substandard. Only this year, cryptocurrency worth millions, or even billions of dollars have been stolen. Now Keypasco is on a mission to secure all digital assets on blockchain.
The Keypasco team has been working with e-banking security since the 1990s. Today our products provide mobile security to millions of users across the world. Among our customers are banks, and other companies that require a state-of-the-art security solution.
The security of digital assets on blockchain relies entirely on the protection of the private keys. Today there are two options: A hot wallet – a mobile app or centrally stored in a database or a cold wallet – a hardware token like a USB-key.
In both cases, the complete private keys are stored somewhere. The problem is that hackers can always find a way to steal those private keys. Then the digital assets related to them are gone forever.
Keypasco has a patented solution that solves the private key protection problem in a unique way. The private key is divided into two parts. The parts are then stored completely separated, one on the Keypasco server, and one in the mobile app. In this way, the private key does not exist in its entirety anywhere in the world.
Based on this technology, the Keypasco Superwallet mobile app offers secure storage of the private keys, and recovery when they are lost. The Keypasco security solution has been proven to be extremely reliable, and to further protect the end-users; the blockchain solution even includes an insurance to cover eventual loss.
With Keypasco's Superwallet you can secure your digital assets on blockchain, while being easy to use for payments, and with the insurance you have a fall-back guarantee.
Why worry about losing your digital assets when there are solutions?

Everything Indoor Air Quality - Research starts here.
indoor air quality direct-link index
If you are looking for indoor air quality using your HVAC system, you will find it here.
Indoor air quality starts with your HVAC system. With a clean indoor blower and fan unit, indoor coil and clean ducting, you will notice the change right away. Keep it that way with a good air filter or filtration device.
indoor air quality terms & definitions
|indoor air quality (IAQ):There are many diverse definitions of the term "Indoor Air Quality". The EPA terms it as "air quality within and around buildings ... as it relates to the health and comfort of building's occupants". ASHRAE defines it as "air in which there are no known contaminants at harmful concentrations as determined by cognizant authorities and with which a substantial majority (80% or more) of the people exposed do not express dissatisfaction". A common definition would be: indoor air conditions that include humidity, temperature, air exchange and air filtration as it relates to the building's occupants' health. Other adverse effects, that affects each individual differently (hypersensitivity), would include, but not limited to; chemicals (VOCs), allergens, mold, ozone, dust/dirt, viruses, and living organisms.
|merv rating:(abbr. for Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) An engineering standard rating for filtration. MERV ratings range from 1 (lowest) to 20 (highest). A MERV rating correlates to the percentages of contaminant particles a filter can capture. For example, a MERV 16 filter can trap 95% of contaminant particles. MERV 6 or higher is recommended for residential applications. (see MERV Rating Chart for more details)
|washable air filters:Air filters composed of a synthetic material or an aluminum, fiberglass or nylon woven mesh that can be washed with water or vacuumed and reused. Washing with water consists of spraying or hosing filter with water. A mild cleaner can be used in the process. Allow filter to dry or remove excess water by shaking out droplets and patting filter with absorbent towel. Caution: aluminum mesh can be very sharp. Some washable filters can be cleaned in a dishwasher. Check packaging instructions or with manufacturer or seller.
|volatile organic compounds (VOC):Compounds that become a gas at room temperature. Common sources include housekeeping and maintenance products.
|allergens:A substance that causes an allergic reaction. Pet dander and pollen are examples of allergens.
|custom air filters:An air filter that has been sized to properly fit in a system's filter rack or return vent housing. A filter should never have any gaps that dirt could pass by and into the indoor unit
|dehumidification:To decrease moisture from the air in a space. A portable dehumidifier removes moisture and exhausts the drier air back into the same space. This accelerates the dehumidification process because the drier air is recirculated. An air conditioning system dehumidifies the air as it passes through the indoor (evaporator) coil, but at a slower rate because it transfers the heat to the outside coil (condenser). Air conditioning systems are controlled by temperature and not humidity. Spaces that tend to be constantly moist will need its own dehumidifier.
|antimicrobial:Applied substance that kills microbial growth. Can (but not always) be associated with a disinfectant or sanitizer.
|air exchanger:Defined as a Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) and Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV), these systems bring in a percentage of outdoor air and exhaust a percentage of indoor air. The exchanged air is transferred to the HVAC system connected to it. In the heat mode, a HRV uses the indoor air to heat a small exchanger. The outside cold air is conditioned before entering the HVAC system. An ERV does the same as a HRV except it also acts a humidifier in the winter and a dehumidifier in the summer. The percentage of humidity it transfers depends on your climate and the amount of humidity being drawn into the system. Check with the seller or manufacturer to find out what system would be ideal for your area.
|micron:(also called micrometer) The millionth part of a meter.
|hepa filtration:(abbr. for High Efficiency Particulate Arrestance) Term for a type of filter that must remove 99.97% of contaminant particles 0.3 microns or greater that pass through it.
|humidifier:In HVAC terms, this is a unit that is installed on a HVAC system to increase moisture in the air. A properly installed and sized humidifier will effectively increase and maintain humidity levels during the heating season. Every unit should be controlled by a humidistat. An initial humidistat setting should be about 38%-42%. If you notice water droplets forming on your windows, the humidity level should be lowered. If the air starts getting drier, the levels needs to be raised until you find the right percentage for your comfort level. Every humidifier needs to be checked for proper operation at the beginning of each heating season.
|mold spores:Microscopic, multi-celled organisms that grow in an environment with a constant source of moisture. Mold spores undergo chemical reactions as they grow that cause fumes to be released. Airborne mold spores can cause severe allergic reactions and other sinus and respiratory illnesses.
|particles:Substances measuring less than 100 microns in diameter.
|ulpa filtration:(abbr. for Ultra Low Penetration Air) Term for a type of filter that must remove 99.99% of contaminant particles 0.1 microns or greater that pass through it.
Everyone has different reasons for wanting cleaner indoor air. Do the research and ask the questions to see what devices will do to help.

Dementia Support groups offer a way for people who are caring for loved ones with Dementia and/or Alzheimer's to meet each other, share information, and talk about emotions and problems related to caregiving. One of the time-tested ways people cope with the challenges of caring, support groups offer the emotional support of friends who understand what they are going through. Monthly meetings are also a way to problem solve and to learn how others approach similar situations. All Alzheimer's Association support groups are led by a trained facilitator and there is never a charge to join.
The group meets the third Tuesday night of every month at Compass Center in Room 304 from 6:30-8:30pm.

text: BUSINESS Filmmakers and game firms learn from each other 5:00 AM PDT 6/20/2007 by John Gaudiosi , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Empty The term convergence has been used and abused many times over the past 30 years of game development. But today, there truly is a blossoming marriage between the global videogame industry and the established entertainment companies of Hollywood. It is telling that when the surprise Warner Bros. blockbuster, "300," came out and earned over $445 million globally, critics compared the film's unique visual style to a video game."Movies like '300' and (2006's) 'Sin City' draw heavily from the artistic style of the original comic books," Outspark chief studio officer Nick Foster, chief studio officer of Outspark. "I think Frank Miller's visual language is iconic and has influenced cinematographers and game designers alike."Hit movie franchises like Sony Pictures' "Resident Evil," which launched in 2002 and has a third film opening this October, were based on games that were influenced by filmmakers like George A. Romero. In effect, the mediums of films and games are coming full circle. Or more accurately, a pipeline between game developers and Hollywood creatives has been successfully paved."The last two to three years we've seen a convergence of the pipelines of both Hollywood talent and visual effects in games," Electronic Arts Los Angeles vp and general manager Neil Young says. "Today it's relatively easy to take someone from the Hollywood visual effects industry and transfer them to the games industry."Talent is also migrating to interactive entertainment. Peter Jackson's Wingnut Interactive game studio, Vin Diesel's Tigon Games and John Woo's Tiger Hill Entertainment are all recent examples of Hollywood talent getting involved in the creation of original games. Jackson has been the driving Hollywood force behind a potential movie version of Microsoft's original "Halo" game, as well as other original IPs he'd like to develop into games. Diesel is working with Midway Games on "The Wheelman," which will debut first as a game starring Diesel and then as a movie from Paramount Pictures with the actor reprising the same role. Woo's first collaboration with Midway Games, "John Woo's Stranglehold," ships in August. It's a virtual sequel to his movie, "Hard Boiled" with actor Chow Yun-Fat reprising his role of Inspector Tequila for the game. The Blu-ray Disc for PlayStation 3 will include the original movie and the new game on the same optical disc."We've evolved from an industry that licensed Hollywood IP for games to one that now works with creators like Steven Spielberg to create original IP that can translate across multiple interactive and traditional media," Young says, referring to the three original games EA is developing with Spielberg. "That journey is accelerating as musicians, writers, actors and directors are all getting involved in videogames. The lines are being blurred between a great IP that comes from the imagination of a game designer and one that comes from a Hollywood creative."Kevin Munroe, the director of Warner Bros. "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" movie, got his start at game companies like Shiny Entertainment and Midway Games. Like a growing number of Hollywood CG auteurs, Munroe entered the world of storytelling through interactive entertainment."I think entertainment may become more interactive, rather than having games all of a sudden catch up and tell full movie-type stories," Munroe says. "I think it's a nice goal, but I think there's going to be movement on both sides."Foster says that in the contemporary marketplace, games and entertainment companies are not just competing within their own market segments, but directly with each other for an individual's time. "That time is consistently being won by online games, and I expect to see traditional media companies looking more and more to transfer their successful franchises into the online game space," he notes. Tentpole movie product like the "Star Wars" and "The Matrix" properties, as well as "Pirates of the Caribbean" have already ventured online with massively multiplayer online (MMO) games. People involved with James Cameron's upcoming film "Avatar" have said the director plans to debut the property online as an MMO before it hits theaters in 3-D. Other Hollywood IPs are also heading online, including "Star Trek," "Firefly" and "StarGate."Young believes the blurring of which came first, the movie or the game, will become a moot point inside of three years. "I'm excited about a future in which a table of creative minds are not defined by which medium they come from, whether it be television, movies or games, but as creators of content that can successfully bridge multiple mediums," Young says.Collaboration between Hollywood writers, filmmakers, composers and actors is already on-going. But what the game industry is experiencing now with the recent launches of Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii is just the beginning of convergence potential."TV and movies are around today because of the great creative people the industry has and the business models they have created. Game makers need to learn from that," Young says. "The entertainment industry can learn the value of a team working collaboratively on a project and the marriage between technology and art that allows for the creation of games. I think it will be interesting to see what models game makers can learn from traditional media and vice versa."Game publisher Ubisoft is learning from Sony Pictures Animation, having worked with the CG animators on both "Surf's Up" and "Open Season." The game company is expanding its Montreal game studio over the next five years and will add 500 employees to focus on non-interactive CG entertainment beginning with short films based on its "Assassin's Creed" video game."With the short films, we're going to learn how CG production works," Ubisoft CEO and co-founder Yves Guillemot says. "Our goal is to work more closely with Hollywood studios and talent so we can eventually make movies at the same time we create the games."

Workers Compensation Legal Guidance Necessary for Injured Workers
If you have been injured on the job and your injury requires the use of a prescription painkiller, know that having an experienced attorney on your side providing guidance may be the only way you have access to insurance coverage you need for the drugs through workers compensation.
The rising costs of drug therapies and the overuse of narcotic painkiller prescriptions are paving the way for changes to insurance company policies. Back in the day, insurance providers felt medication therapies were the cheaper alternative when recovering from workers comp-related injury. Now that medications are much more expensive, insurers are denying prescription medicines as part of reasonable treatment and injured workers will need an experienced lawyer to navigate the changes in workers compensation.
Being in need of narcotic painkillers for work-related injuries is not uncommon but many times doctors have been found to over-prescribe strong narcotics during treatment. This overuse of powerful medicines has also lead to delayed recovery time and workers are of the job for longer periods of time. Some patients have ended up addicted to the narcotics during the recovery process making it unsafe for them to return to their jobs.
With the policies within workers compensation changing, injured workers are strongly advised to seek the advice of an attorney. An experienced legal team can help ensure you get coverage for narcotic prescriptions for treating work-related injuries if such medications are necessary. Our legal team will also ensure you have receive fair payment to replace your lost wages and that other medical costs are covered without issue.
If you have been injured on the job, contact our legal team today for a free evaluation of your workers compensation claim. You can reach us toll free at 888-799-3918 or use our online contact form for more information.

I've been asked to do some bloomin' Excel now! Some people really have no clue about technology or even what they want. I really think I could be useful around GMTV though, (since I have the skills to do things like this random Excel request,) but they aren't willing to wait for me to finish uni (which is all of like 9 months or something in a years time!) Oh well, their loss. I hope I have made a good impression here. Just 5 more days left.

So giving the benefit of the doubt regarding programming ability, and simply assuming the case of "not knowing what's out there", here's the tools and configuration settings that I always use when developing MapGuide applications, which should greatly assist and simplify the process of developing and debugging MapGuide applications. Experienced web developers can probably tune out because you should already know these tools :)
1. Firebug
If you haven't heard of firebug or haven't used it before, stop reading this post and download it now. DO IT!
If firebug didn't exist, I probably wouldn't be taking Web Development as seriously (hell, I probably wouldn't do web development full stop!). If you do any development on the MapGuide Platform (or web development in general), you will have to write some javascript and firebug provides top-class debugging facilities.
But it doesn't just do javascript, it also does:
- CSS/DOM debugging
- HTTP request tracing / performance monitoring. (you can see all the requests that Fusion/AJAX viewer is making to your MapGuide Web Tier)
- Lots more!
2. Mozilla Firefox
Besides the fact that this is needed for firebug, Firefox is the epitomy of the modern web browser, and has lots of healthy competition from Google Chrome and other WebKit-based bretheren to help keep moving the web forward ... Unlike that browser from Redmond^!
But even still, the Firefox + Firebug combination provides a solid foundation for your design ensuring that the time spent in Internet Explorer is kept to a minimum*
My web development workflow is simply:
- Design and develop and test in Firefox / Firebug. This design will 99.9% work in all modern browsers.
- Contort and bastardise this design (hopefully not too much) to make it work in Internet Explorer
- Re-test against Firefox / Firebug to ensure no breakages.
3. Baretail + MapGuide log files
Believe it or not, MapGuide actually logs lots of information when its running (under default server configuration settings). If a viewer has made a request to the MapGuide Server, it is logged. If MapGuide throws an error, it is logged. If something has made the MapGuide Server fall over, chances are it is logged. Simply put, the logging facilities built into MapGuide provides you with a lot of information to work with. When things go south in your MapGuide application, the log files should almost always be the first port of call.
Baretail is a windows utility that is effectively the windows equivalent to the unix tail utility, showing you the latest entries in error.log and access.log (and any other log file) as they are written by the MapGuide Server. It is an invaluable resource to assist in debugging and problem diagnosis. Does your MapGuide application code not work? Try running it again while observing the mapguide logs under baretail. They might tell you something.
4. Set display_errors = On in php.ini
The PHP that is bundled with MapGuide uses production-level settings. This means any warnings or errors (like unhandled MapGuide exceptions) in any PHP code you may be running are silently swept under the carpet most of the time. Setting the display_errors setting to On in php.ini will reveal and display these errors. If PHP is your development environment, this should be the first thing you do on a fresh development install of MapGuide.
5. JavaScript lint
Sometimes I wish JavaScript was a compiled language. That way the theoretical javascript compiler can report to me all the syntax errors it finds in my javascript source code immediately instead of me having to wait until runtime to get a nasty surprise!
Well JavaScript will never become a compiled language, but we do have JavaScript Lint which is the closest thing we will ever get to a "compiler". Usage is simple, run the jsl.exe executable on your javascript source and watch it report any javascript syntax errors with matching line numbers!
Knowing these tools and configuration settings have made my web development life simpler, I hope this post makes your's simpler too!
^ Generally speaking, where IE gets it completely wrong is in two areas: 1) Certain parts of the DOM API and 2) Flagrant disregard or misinterpretation of certain CSS rules (most infamously, the box model bug). But it's 2011, these are known problems solved by almost every web framework out there, which you should be using already! Which is why I said that the Firefox + Firebug combination takes you 90% there.
* I think if all of us web developers charged a mandatory "IE tax" on our web development work, it would make some of these regressive organisations think twice about holding us (and the modern web) back by still mandating Internet Explorer 6 as the "standard web browser". Microsoft got the message, why won't you!? To be fair, none of the clients I have worked with in my career thus far fall under this category, but the fact that there are still such organisations out there makes baby Jesus cry! At least IE9 is a half-modern web browser, and if Microsoft is serious about its vision of application development for Windows 8, they have no choice but to make IE10 an actual functional modern web browser!

Who are Bambeano? What is the Bambeano? PLEASE READ ON...you will be pleasantly surprised!
Bambeano (pronounced bam-bean-oh) is a baby range of high quality, laboratory tested baby beanbags with an energetic, fun, highly addictive design vibe that is fresh and out of this world! It is brought you by the makers of Australias number one baby bean bag brand Chibebe!
The Bambeano Baby Beanbag is brought to you by the makers of the Chibebe Snuggle Pod, which has become a name synonymous with quality, safety and design.
Whilst Chibebe is a brand focused on not only the worlds best baby beanbags, but also accessories for them, the Bambeano brand is purely a baby beanbag brand, featuring funky cool designs. Bambeano fabrics are custom designed to have a "Bambeano" vibe to them, and these designs are focused on fun, energy and vibrancy. Bambeano baby beanbags can be accessorised with any Chibebe accessory, including spare seats, the Pod Rocker, etc.
Both Chibebe AND Bambeano brands are laboratory tested, as quality and safety are not something we are willing to compromise on.
We have a reputation for regularly testing and retesting our products to maintain our high quality standards, to ensure optimum health and safety for babies. As far as our knowledge extends, we are the ONLY baby beanbag manufacturers in Australia to do this! This is because your babys health and safety are our highest priority.
We regularly test our baby beanbags for factors that relate to health and safety. This involves not only meeting mandatory Australian standards and our own in-house compliance, but also voluntary standards, tested in a consumer testing laboratory, to manufacture and sell baby bean bags*. These tests are conducted by a world leading testing and certification company, under strict compliance conditions.
You are sure to love the Bambeano for its functionality, safety and design. Our primary focus is that we continually provide products that exceed expectations of the fussiest parent. And, of course, your baby.
Chibebe is already the best of the best. Why make another range, you ask?
Because we wanted to offer the same high quality, laboratory tested product that Chibebe has become famous for, at a lower price, to eliminate the shoddy sellers out there that try to copy the famous Chibebe brand to make a quick buckaroo. To do this, we decided to keep the large accessories range in the Chibebe brand, and not offer them in the Bambeano range.
This means we cut the cost involved in designing and testing new add-ons in the Bambeano brand, BUT, you can still mix and match both Chibebe and Bambeano accessories, inlcuding the Pod Rocker, made famous by Chibebe. It just means that the Chibebe budget caters for all the cool accessories we are known for, allowing us to cut the cost in the Bambeano brand, without compromising on the quality we have become famous for. Rest assured that we WILL NEVER compromise on quality and safety, and no matter what the brand is; Chibebe OR Bambeano, both are still equally made of the hgihest quality materials from start to finish, inside and out, and will always be regularly tested in a consumer testing laboratory...not just in-house.
Now there are two stars in the world of baby bean bags....Chibebe AND Bambeano. And they have fans all over the country going poddy for them!

To make sure your company is embracing change, maximizing sales and profits as well as staying ahead of your competitors you need:
- Effective Strategic Planning Process
- Effective Execution of a formal Strategic Plan
- Enhanced Employee Engagement and Accountability
Does the company have an effective annual strategic planning process?
Is there a formal one-page plan being executing throughout the entire employee organization that has everyone focused on what is required to succeed and are all employees held accountable?
Has the company identified ways to enhance the engagement of both management and staff in the process of strategic planning and execution of the plan?
If you answered "no" to two of these basic questions, then your company needs to make serious changes. If you answered "no" to three, then your company REALLY must change and you must initiate these changes as soon as possible.
How do you feel about your answers? What questions can I answer?

Since the Mean Time Between Failures for Juniper equipment is between 7 to 45 years depending on the model, there is no reason to upgrade your hardware at EOS when continued Third Party Maintenance is available.
Dissention in any form or organization is never a good thing, and Juniper Networks seems to be finding that out the hard way. It's no secret that Juniper's switching and SDN engineers have been leaving steadily for the past year. Their latest casualty – Thomas Nadeau. Nadeau jumped ship this month and joined Brocade as a distinguished engineer. It seems the acquisition of Contrail Networks along with Juniper's CTO and founder, Pradeep Sindhu, seem to be the cause of the rift.
There have been many companies that have tried to compete with the great Cisco and failed. Nortel, Aruba Networks, Alcatel-Lucent, and 3com just to name a few have all tried to go toe-to-toe with Cisco and have been left in the dust. On the other hand, there have been a select few who have managed to thrive despite Cisco's obvious dominance. Here are 5 that have prevailed…
If you haven't caught wind of it yet, you're sure to in 2013. Software defined networking (SDN) seems to be all the rage for the upcoming year, and quite possibly for many years to come. (SDN) is changing the way data centers run, and OEMs are racing to get a piece of the predicted $2 billion a year (by 2016) pie. The question is will everyone get an equal share of the pie, or will there be a few greedy pie hogs and only a crumb or two left for the rest. It's too early to tell, but one thing's for certain money is flying around the network world like a massive hurricane picking up any SDN startup that looks promising.
Private industry has had decades of experience surviving downturns and bankruptcies while still maintaining a healthy IT environment. Government agencies, particularly DOD, and DHS are unaccustomed to real cost cutting, and may need some help learning how to get by with less, perhaps a LOT less.

Sheriff (シェリフ) is an arcade game developed by Nintendo R&D1 and released in 1979, designed by Genyo Takeda with art by Shigeru Miyamoto. It is one of the earliest Western-style video games developed. The player's character is a county sheriff tasked with defending a town against bandits, but he must be careful not to get shot himself by the bandits.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee
Sheriff only appears as a Trophy.
Trophy description
Sheriff is a game with a particularly long history, even among other classic Nintendo arcade games. You aimed the sheriff's gun by way of an eight-directional dial controller, which you would depress to fire. The goal of this frontier shooter was to protect the territory from various scoundrels and ne'er-do-wells.
- Sheriff (Japan Only)
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii USheriff appears as an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U. When summoned, he fires in any of eight directions at opposing characters. The shots deal 14% damage and can be reflected, but not absorbed. Sound effects from the Sheriff game play as he moves around. If he takes 30% damage, he'll be defeated and stay on his pose when he is shot by one of the bandits, and then he'll disappear.
Trophy Description
This arcade game was released in 1979 in Japan. The game used an eight-direction joystick and a switch to control the title character. In Smash Bros., the sheriff will appear in his original glory and fire in eight directions. The bullets are tough to dodge, and they pack a serious punch.
- Arcade - Sheriff (1980)
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
The sheriff returns as an Assist Trophy. He retains his attack pattern from before, but the shots are now disjointed hitboxes instead of true projectiles, similar to Darz's Thorn Spray attack.
In the original arcade game, the titular Sheriff has to defend a plot of land from sixteen bandits, who move around the edges of the territory while firing at Sheriff. Sometimes the bandits also enter the land so Sheriff has to dodge the bullets and the bandits while attempting to return fire. Once all sixteen bandits are defeated the level is won. The Sheriff Assist Trophy's movements are a facsimile of the original game's control scheme which involved two joysticks, one for which direction to walk and the second for which direction to fire Sheriff's gun. In the sequel the second joystick was replaced with a button, so Sheriff could only shoot in the direction he was facing.
- Sheriff is one of the oldest Nintendo characters to appear in the Smash Bros.series, predating Mr. Game & Watch and Pac-Man by a year. However, he is not the oldest entity in Smash; with the Color TV-Game 15 being older. Depending on whether one considers the Color TV-Game 15 a "character" in its Assist Trophy role, Sheriff can be considered the oldest character in the game.

"Educating the Emerging Generation"
Cherokee County GA School District
The window for school choice reassignments for 2020-21 within the Cherokee County School District is February 1-March 1. This includes applications for CCSD STEM and Fine Arts Academies.
The Cherokee County School District is opening online registration for 2020-21 kindergarten students and first graders new to CCSD on Monday, January 27. The Registration Gateway allows parents to log in from home via CCSD's website and get enrollment forms filled out online, rather than filling them out by hand while waiting at a school office.
The Cherokee County School Board on Thursday, Jan. 16, 2020 approved the appointment of a longtime CCSD leader as its next Chief Operations Officer.
Dr. Debra Murdock, a past Georgia High School Principal of the Year who currently serves as an Executive Director in the Office of School Operations, will begin leading the division this spring.
The Cherokee County School District earned positive credit ratings from the world's top agencies, benefitting the community's taxpayers.
Moody's and Standard & Poor's financial service companies this month reaffirmed CCSD's Aa2 and Aa+ ratings, respectively, and awarded Stable outlooks to both, which places the District in an outstanding position for future growth.
The January edition of the CCSD Connections monthly parent e-newsletter is now online here and includes updates on safety and security and other important information. Thanks to Credit Union of Georgia for its sponsorship! #CCSDfam
Open enrollment for the Cherokee County School District's Georgia Lottery Pre-K Classes program begins in February!
Safe Schools Alert
Please watch this brief video to learn more about SafeSchools Alert - CCSD's system to report a school safety concern by text, email, phone call, online message or app to school police and administrators. Reminder: This system does not replace 911; please call 911 in an emergency. #SafeCherokee

Cordialement,James Customer Care
When we discovered in London that we had forgotten a money pouch in the apartment, the staff of Friendly Rentals, in particular James Ramirez, went out of their way to trace the money. It was a great relief to have someone like James to assist us and when the money was found, he arranged for it to be safely transferred into our credit card. The apartment was conveniently situated just off Las Ramblas in a side street. It was a modern apartment and very well equipped. We were there for six days and with a super market about a 5 minute walk away, it made life very easy for quick purchases. An excellent base from which to explore Barcelona.
Thank you so much Angela!!! We are very happy we found your money and we greatly appreciate your comments. We look forward to having you back soon!!!James Customer Care

These are hotels run along chalet lines, and have the capacity to house and feed really big groups (don't expect the highest quality of décor and service, though). Our chalet hosts serve high tea for children at around 6pm. We require all children under 12 to take high tea unless you book the whole chalet. If you book the whole chalet and would rather your children eat with you later then please http://www.bramans-tourisme.com/ advise us at the time of booking along with any dietary requirements your child may have. Family Ski Company offers catered family skiing holidays with childcare in the French Alps with flexible childcare, our aim being for every member of the family skiing with children to have a wonderful ski holiday. Looking for some inspiration? Take a look at our top destinations, read our travel tips, download our brochures and get advice on planning your next big trip.
Bulgaria: Bulgaria beats most European resorts on price for accommodation, food, ski passes and equipment hire, and is great for beginner slopes, so it's a good budget option for your first ski holiday! However http://skisnowflakes.org the resorts aren't as varied, and for the time being flights are limited. If you haven't yet booked your ski holiday to Austria yet, you might want to make sure the dates fit in with one of these events.
Invest in a rucksack too – that way you can load it up with snacks and water, an extra layer of clothing (in case you get cold), and that all-important sun block. Do something great on your Gap Year. With work programmes, working holiday visas, volunteering and language courses, we have all you need to work and learn abroad. We now also offer you our VIP concierge services to provide that complete door-to-door holiday experience – ask us for details. From our office team to our dedicated resort staff, everyone at Esprit wants to say a heartfelt thank you to each one of you who voted for us. We hugely appreciate your support!

Jovic: I can play up front alongside Benzema at Real Madrid
Luka Jovic feels he can play alongside Karim Benzema in the same team but indicated he is happy to let Zinedine Zidane decide how to use him at Real Madrid.
Serbia striker Jovic signed a six-year deal to join Los Blancos after hitting 27 goals in all competitions for Eintracht Frankfurt last term.
Jovic's €70 million (£62m/$79m) arrival is part of a major rebuild for Madrid after a disappointing campaign, with Eden Hazard, Eder Militao, Rodrygo Goes and Ferland Mendy also arriving at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Benzema hit 21 La Liga goals in 2018-19 and was one of the few Madrid players to impress, although Jovic could usurp him in the team.
Watch La Liga | Soccer Live Streaming | DAZN CA
The 21-year-old, though, suggested at his Madrid unveiling on Wednesday that he and Benzema are "compatible".
"When he [Benzema] arrived [at Real Madrid], I was 11," Jovic told a news conference.
"He's one of the best in the world and I hope to learn a lot from him.
"I think we're compatible, but Zidane will be the one to decide.
"I have not spoken with Zidane and at Eintracht I played up front [on his own] or with other strikers."
Madrid president Florentino Perez claimed Madrid saw off competition from some of Europe's elite clubs to sign Jovic.
Barcelona were rumoured to have watched the forward earlier in the year but the striker says he was unaware of interest from any clubs other than Madrid.
"I did not know of any other offer," Jovic said. "I was not aware of any other offer that was not from Madrid. I spoke with my agent, he told me about the Madrid offer and I accepted it quickly."
Jovic has not yet been assigned a squad number but, with the No.7 and No.11 shirts already occupied by Mariano Diaz and Gareth Bale respectively, and with Hazard also arriving, he insists it does not matter what he gets.
"The number does not matter and it is not important," he added.
Jovic has already been on a charm offensive with Madrid fans since joining, claiming that he used to sleep in the shirt of Cristiano Ronaldo as a child.
However, following a huge summer outlay at the club, there will be little room for sentiment and he will be expected to hit the ground running at the Bernabeu.
Jovic showed little sign of being distracted by the attention around him over the international break, scoring a stunning goal in Serbia's 4-1 demolition of Lithuania in their European Championship qualifier.


text: Before Twilight Bono points to the 'Boy' backdrop. "This here is Peter... I'll tell you about Peter. We're going to the USA next week and Peter isn't allowed in there." The 'Boy' album sleeve has been deemed unsuitable for America because some narrow minds in the record industry think that the pure image of a young boy might associate the band with paedophilia or child pornography. 'Boy' will be released in America in March in a different sleeve from the European album but U2 will use the backdrop during their concerts. Bono dedicates Twilight to Peter.


text: 10 Outtakes from Elisabeth Moss' EmmyWrap Cover Shoot The "Top of the Lake" star dishes on the miniseries and what the end of "Mad Men" will be like for her Michael Balderston | June 23, 2013 @ 5:48 PM Last Updated: July 24, 2014 @ 12:18 PM On being the lead in the Sundance Channel miniseries "Top of the Lake": "I suppose it's the first time I've been No. 1 on the call sheet. I frankly just had so much to do -- I was working, I think, 65 or 66 days out of the 82 shooting days, and 50 of those days were in a row. So it was definitely a bigger venture than I've ever done." On recording her own audition for the part: "I put the camera on a coffee table and sat on the floor and fixed the lighting and took out a light bulb and made sure it looked nice, and I sent it off and went to dinner. The next night I got a text from Jane [Campion] that basically was like, 'You're my Robin.'" "One thing Jane said to me in the very beginning, before i actually auditioned which I really appreciated was, 'I know that you can do vulnerable. I've seen that. I need to see that you can cover it up.' And I completely understood that request, because I frankly needed to see if I could do that as well." On changing as an actor: "I learned honestly what I need as an actor and who I am as an actor, because I don't think there is any right way to act, I don't think there is any right way to play a scene or play a part. I felt like I learned so much about my own instrument, so to speak, and became a lot stronger." "I never really went to any acting school or anything, so I'm not very good at the nomenclature of acting. But I suppose I learned to know when it's there and it's not. To know when to not think about it, and when to do a bit more work on it and spend some time with the scene." "The joy that someone would get from playing a beautiful piece of music or painting or dancing and whatever it is, I get that weird same joy and pleasure when I'm acting. To me, showing human truth is really interesting, and tapping into emotions -- I find it really fun." On auditioning: "Jane said the most amazing thing to me, she said, 'You don't have to hit the bullseye, just get the dart on the board.' And I will never for the rest of my life forget that she said that, because as an actor it just liberated me." On Jane casting her: "Occasionally someone is open and trusting and gives you a chance to show that you can do something different. It's hard to find that sometimes as an actor when you want to try different things. And I'm so forever grateful to her." On "Mad Men's" end: "It's bittersweet ... what I just keep thinking about is the last time that they say 'Cut' and call 'Check the gate,' and that's the last time I will ever play Peggy. That, to me, is so strange. That I will never open my mouth as that character again is so weird to me. I think I'll probably just be sort of numb about it, and then it'll hit me eight months later." "I feel like I really arrived at the right place and the right time. I'm sure that it will always be more difficult, but I think that there is an incredible opportunity out there right now."

Non Smoking Area in Greece
TBWA Athens produced a thought provoking print advertisement to mark World No Tobacco Day, an initiative of the World Health Organisation (WHO) held on May 31, 2007. The ultimate no smoking zone is the cemetery.
Tobacco is the second major cause of death in the world. It is well known that half the people who smoke regularly today – about 650 million people – will eventually be killed by tobacco. Equally alarming is the fact that hundreds of thousands of people who have never smoked die each year from diseases caused by breathing second-hand tobacco smoke.
The Non Smoking Area advertisement was developed at TBWA, Athens, by creative director Vangelis Vrouvas, copywriters George Loukoumis and Vassilis Kleisouras and art director Christos Kliafas.

Car Free with a Vasectomy - Brian Blogs8:35 PM
Normally my wife does all the posting on this blog but I felt that this post was best written by me. With the birth of my daughter in August, our family has grown to five. My wife and I decided to not have anymore children. So... I got the snip. The surgery itself was not a big deal. It turns out that the last day we had our car before we sold it was the day I got my surgery and the last trip we took in it was to bring me home from the surgery center. When we got home the car was officially handed over to the new owner. Before I got the surgery I asked the doctor how long would it be before I got back on the bike. He told me two weeks maybe more. Knowing I was going to be without a car I was wondering how this was going to work. Well it did. A day and a half after the surgery I was back on the bike. I didn't go crazy and ride fifty miles but my life couldn't stop because of some silly surgery. Ouch! I took it easy and have been on the bike everyday, a little more each day, running simple errands and going on rides with my kids. So to all you guys out there thinking about getting neutered and being avid cyclists. It's not a thing. OUCH!!!! I wish my bakfiets had suspension...
4 comments
I forgot to say that I only iced the boys for about two hours and took 1 Tylenol and I have been good ever since. The nine beers I had the night of the surgery may have helped also.ReplyDelete
thanks for the words from a fellow bakfiets papa... i've been putting the snip off and off and off. now to call the doc.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous1/11/2013 1:17 AM
It would be easier if you had a recumbent.ReplyDelete
so timely. mine is scheduled for the end of this month and I'm worried about how long I won't be able to ride. glad to hear it went well for you!ReplyDelete

Tips on Tables - Robert W. Dana - August 25, 1961
Della Reese Returns To Copa
The cacophony of excessive orchestral arrangements, with the microphone as a willing accessory, laid waste to the robust talent of youthful song stylist Della Reese in the early going of her return engagement last night at the Copacabana.
Fortunately, the curvaceous, excitedly gowned girl with the beehive hairdo took possession of her program at the midway point, flashed personality in some poised rencontres with her audience and used her voice as the instrument for which it was intended in more restrained renditions.
Clipped Accents.
Admittedly, a performer today seems destined to open with a flurry and a flair, but the clipped accents and overpowering manner in which Miss Reese treated her opening number, "Getting to Know You," was not only alien to the mood of the lovely number from "The King and I," but it became lost in the noisy exuberance of the orchestra.
Overpowering, too, was the treatment of the second number, "Still of the Night," with no finesse; and the microphone still annoyed, if less loud, on the third, "Don't You Know?"
Formerly a gospel singer with the celebrated Mahalia Jackson, to whom she gave a sincere tribute to last night, Miss Reese began to put herself across with "Nobody Till Somebody Loves You," slipped a little with a distorted version of"Always True to You in My Fashion" from "Kiss Me Kate," and then really rang the bell with the remainder of her program. The clipped accents and a staccato rhythm characterized her treatment of "Lady's a Tramp," followed by the lovely spiritual,"His Eye Is on the Sparrow."
Coming Greatness.
"You Made Me Love You," the dramatic "Far, Far Better" and the concluding "Bill Bailey" reveal solidly the coming greatness of Della Reese. She has tremendous force, verve and full-bodied voice. All she needs is restraint in the proper places.
Comedian Mickey Deems was introduced earlier as the "American well-dressed man," a conceit that was quickly destroyed with some disarray of his costume. His main comic theme was a tale of Sunday-out with his kid. An amusing guy, who got a good hand and didn't overstay his welcome.

Metal festivals tend to have at least one beer sponsor but more often than not, it's some kind of piss weak lager that you drink all day without feeling the effects. Let's be honest; there's nothing particularly metal about drinking a can of Fosters. However, Britain's Wells Brewery might have created the world's most metal beer:
The awesome silver and jet black bottle may make it look like a Dimmu Borgir-issue butt-plug, but if you look closely…
From Satan's very own stock!
This is the world's most metal beer – any challengers?

SafeGuard is an Ohio based background screening service that have been one of the leading brands in the industry since their entry into the market. SafeGuard liaises with some of the leading national and international security agencies to deliver accurate results – including the FBI. Offering its services throughout North America and in more than 200 countries around the globe, SafeGuard is a trusted and reliable service with a reputation to match its service list.

|People Search

|Reverse Phone Number Search
|Reverse E-mail Search
Background Search
The real specialty of SafeGuard lies in the background checking system which crawls a number of national and international databases including local, municipal and county courts. The Administrative Office of Courts (AOC) participates in the search along with a raft of criminal background criteria. Split into 5 levels, the checks will identify a number of important pieces of information about a candidate ranging from address history and driving records to full reference and credential verification.
Criminal Background Search
As part of the background searching system from SafeGuard – the criminal background search is an extensive and exhaustive trawl of the potential infractions of a job applicant or individual. Consulting the sex offenders register, the OFAC terrorists watch list, the most wanted list and all state police records of wants, warrants and past convictions – SafeGuard is one of the most comprehensive criminal background checkers available. Financial crime is also monitored, with bankruptcy filings, civil liens and judgment filings all included within the scan.
To assess the validity and accuracy of Safeguard Ceritfy's services – we attempted to find the information about its President Neil Adelman. Although the service does offer a no obligation free trial of their background screening toolkit, the option is only available to registered businesses with official needs adhering to FCRA guidelines. With the long history of success for SafeGuard's ability – we're confident that the results would be accurate and relevant.
SafeGuard has a number of unique features above and beyond its background checks.. Reference checks can also be carried out. A partnership with leading Winslow Research Institute has also allowed SafeGuard to add the Personality Assessment tool to its arsenal - a service that helps to identify key traits in the personality of job applicants and individuals. A national network of laboratories also allows SafeGuard to conduct drug testing and screening.
|Background Check Fees
|Trial Membership
|Contact for information
|Single Report
SafeGuard is a transaction-based service which doesn't run contracts or memberships, instead charging on a case-by-case basis. While there is a Free Trial available on the site, it is intended for businesses with "permissible purpose for conducing background checks as defined by the FCRA." To receive it, you must request the trial and wait for a customer service representative to contact you.
The background checking service is split into three tiers, being statewide ($16.95), nationwide ($19.95) and comprehensive ($34.95). Fingerprint Screening costs $32.00 when using the BCI database, $34.00 when using FBI information or a discounted $61.00 complete report.
SafeGuard has a number of partnerships with security and data agencies around the world – made possible by an expert team of in-house analysts and researchers. This crack investigative team is responsible for all of the reports generated by the SafeGuard service and will get to work within 24-hours of a request being submitted by the client.
SafeGuard are an incredibly reliable and trustworthy brand, so confident of its ability to deliver that it will commit to all requests in paper. SafeGuard will make guaranteed turnaround times, promise complete clarity and accuracy of information and quality of service. Any unsatisfied customers are welcome to request a refund and it's a company policy to always return the service fee if a client is not pleased with the results.
With a brand name like SafeGuard – it would by hypocritical to have any security leaks and the Ohio-based agency is a watertight toolkit with no potential leaks. The website is protected by powerful SSL encryption and all reports and research is undertaken in-house, making the potential for mistakes and loss almost non-existent. State of the art technology also contributes to round off the safe and secure streamlined service.
SafeGuard are dedicated to providing an unparalleled customer service experience. With active Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn profiles – the high visibility of the company is a re-assuring and engaging feature. Customer Support can be reached through support e-mail addresses, phone lines and fax numbers. Support hours are 9:00am to 5:00pm EST Monday through Friday. The physical retail branch of SafeGuard can be found in Beachwood, Ohio.
With a number of innovative and groundbreaking services, SafeGuard leverages its strong connections in the security industry to deliver highly targeted and crucial information to its clients. Low prices on an ad hoc basis make it an attractive and accessible background checker.
