In this tutorial, you will be re-creating this cool meteor illustration by Nina Geometrieva in Inkscape. It's a great way to familiarize yourself with the shape tools, specifically the Rectangle and Ellipse.
First, create a new layer for your background. After selecting the Rectangle tool, hold the cursor anywhere on the canvas, and drag outwards to make a rectangular shape. Next, adjust the width and height by changing the values that are located near the top left of the interface. Let's go with 650 pixels wide x 450 pixels tall. You might notice that it's filled with a default color (usually white) at the moment. Let's change that by double clicking on the fill color at the bottom left of the interface to open the Fill and Stroke dialog.
Under Fill, you can see different ways to change the fill color. Since we have something specific in mind, go to RGBA and type in 483C6BFF to give the background a deep purple color. If you're unfamiliar with RGBA, it basically indicates the hex color code (RGB) and alpha (A). You can change the color codes, but alpha should always be set to FF to ensure that the color is fully opaque. If you want to change the opacity, you can do so using the slider near the bottom of the dialog.
Once the background is done, lock the layer and create a new layer for the actual illustration. Locking the layer ensures that you don't accidentally edit the background.
If you look closely at the reference, you will see that the meteor is made up of a circle and rectangle. Let's create a circle with the Ellipse tool. Using it is similar to the Rectangle tool. However, for circles and squares, you have to press and hold CTRL before dragging out the shape to keep the 1:1 aspect ratio. Similarly, you can adjust its size at anytime by using the Select tool, holding down CTRL, and dragging the arrows inwards or outwards. After you have created your circle, change its fill color to FF217BFF in RGBA.
Next, make a rectangle with the same color. In order for both shapes to align perfectly with each other, they need to have the same width. Start by selecting the circle. You can find out the width and height by looking at the numbers beside W and H. Simply double click to select the width and copy the number, before selecting the rectangle and pasting it into the same box. Don't forget to press ENTER to register the change. As a reference, the width should be around 110 pixels wide.
Now you can align the shapes using the Align and Distribution dialog. Bring the bottom of the rectangle to around the middle of the circle. Since they have the same width, you can use a few ways to align them. In this case, select both of them and Align Left Edges relative to Last Selected.
Once done, it's time to turn them into the shape of the meteor. Select both shapes, go to the Path menu, convert Object to Path, then combine them into a single shape using Union.
After creating the basic shape (we will refer to it as the core from here on), select it with the Node tool. You will get something like this:
Let's proceed to make the 2 outer layers, as seen in the reference. Duplicate the core with CTRL + D, change the RGBA to 483C6BFF, and bring it below the original shape with Page Down. Next, select the duplicated shape with the Node tool, go to the Path menu, and click Outset. You will notice that it has 'expanded' slightly. After 4 to 5 times of Outset, you should have the first outer layer (we will refer to it as the envelope from here on) down. Repeat the same steps for the second outer layer (or the tail), using 0DFFE1FF as the RGBA.
A third of the meteor is made up of the core, followed by the first and second layers. Select the two nodes at the top of the core with the Node tool, and bring them about a third of the way down vertically using the ↓ key. Do the same for the first outer layer, bringing it about halfway down vertically.
It's time to create the lines in the meteor. Select the Bezier tool and create a straight line by holding down CTRL. It's black and thin at the moment, but we'll change that soon. With the line selected, go to the Fill and Stroke dialog. Under Stroke Style, change the width to 7 pixels and the cap to round — the ends of the line are now rounded. Finally, let's use the Color Picker to change its color to that of the core. Select the line, press F7 and hold down SHIFT so you change the stroke instead of fill color.
Bring the line close to the left edge of the core using the arrow keys. Next, duplicate the line, give it the same color as the first outer layer, then align it to the right of the first line using the Align and Distribute dialog. Repeat the process until the lines fill the width of the core, with the lines at each end being the same color. Now, use the Select tool to select all the lines by dragging a rectangle around them, before grouping them by pressing CTRL + G. Remember when you changed the width of the rectangle to match the circle in order to align them? Do the same for the grouped lines.
With everything aligned, you can adjust the length of the lines by selecting them individually using the Node tool, and moving the nodes at the ends vertically using the arrow keys. You can replicate the breaks between on the pink line by adding nodes, then deleting the segment between them. For the darker pink lines below the purple lines, simply duplicate the line, change the RGBA to ED017CFF under Stroke Paint, and move it down.
Do the same thing for the light blue and purple lines higher up, but be sure to make them thicker. You should be almost done.
As a final touch, duplicate the tail, bring it to the bottom, and change the blur to around 3 in the Fill and Stroke dialog. The meteor is now glowing!
The same principles apply for the planets, so feel free to experiment with the features you have learned in this tutorial and customize the illustration to your liking.

The longer burnt grease sits on your enamel gas stove burners, the more difficult the grease will be to remove. Every time you use the burners, the grease burns on the enamel again -- and additional grease can build up on top. The good news is, stove-top enamel is tough, so you're not limited to using gentle cleaners. Even so, you should start with gentle, nontoxic methods and products you probably already have on hand, before you try harsher techniques.
Step 1
Apply heavy-duty dish soap directly to the burnt-on grease, and scrub the burner with a damp sponge to remove as much of the surface grease as possible.
Step 2
Sprinkle baking soda on the burnt grease. Moisten a sponge with white vinegar, and scrub the area, working the baking soda into the stain.
Step 3
Apply cooktop cleaner -- sold near oven cleaners -- onto the enamel. Use cream or gel cleaner, not aerosol, on a gas stove top. Scrub any remaining grease away with a nylon scrubber. Rinse the stove burners with a wet sponge.

At the dawn of the 20th century, Americans believe that science, especially the medical sciences, will soon conquer all of mankind's ills. For a brief time medical schools open their doors to women, allowing them to join the scientific crusade. Genevieve Summerford is one woman who answers the call
A PROMISE OF RUIN (Book 2)
As psychiatrist Dr. Genevieve Summerford
watches from the docks, the body of a young Italian woman is pulled from Manhattan's East River, dampening the city's Independence Day festivities. The police suspect random violence -- but when Genevieve is asked to help find another young Italian woman who's gone missing, she soon discovers that something far more sinister is afoot.
"A tantalizing dish of murder,
mystery, romance, and humor...Ms. Overholt infuses historical detail into her work with a deft master's touch."
V.S. Alexander, author of The Magdalen Girls
"Ah, the delight of discovering in the first chapter that a book's been written by a gifted storyteller
... Overholt introduces early 20th century life skillfully and with flair ... [A] neatly turned plot with clever twists and heart-warming interactions."
Kingdom Books Mystery Reviews
"This book is absorbing on many levels...peopled with characters that have depth, humor and essential believability...A book to enjoy, but also to make one think. A keeper."
Historical Novels Review
"Set against the historical backdrop of a city teeming with immigrants, Overholt's second novel reveals the evils of a heinous trade that still goes on today."
Kirkus Reviews
"Overholt's second...is an impressive, wonderful read and a great continuation for the first book...powerful writing is combined with hardcore emotion and a serious mystery, creating a book that is very hard to put down."
RT Book Reviews
"Overholt's engrossing sequel ... delivers satisfying plot twists, and the themes of immigration-fueled tensions and crimes against women are well researched and timely."
Publishers Weekly
(Book 1)
After a past family tragedy for which she holds herself to blame, Dr. Genevieve Summerford wants nothing more than to succeed in her new career as a psychiatrist, and win back the respect of her family and peers. That goal is thrown into jeopardy, however, when one of her patients is arrested for murder — a murder Genevieve fears she may have unwittingly provoked.
"Overholt's novel captures the tone of [early] 20th-century New York in a deeply pleasing way ... Strong prose and captivating characters ... pull the reader in to the very last page. A whodunit full of dark secrets and fascinating intrigue."
Kirkus, Starred Review
"For a book filled with murder, madness, and medical mystery, Cuyler Overholt's
A Deadly Affection
was a real pleasure to read. Its only drawback: I had to put my life on hold until I'd finished it. What a satisfying finish … and what a smooth, complex, enlightening, riveting journey ...
A Deadly Affection
is masterfully crafted, a delightful combination of suspense and romance. I cannot wait for Overholt's next novel."
Historical Novels Review
Genevieve Summerford is a heroine with brains, compassion, and grit. A psychiatrist during a time women were supposed to be wives and mothers, she not only practices medicine, but also protects secrets, and solves murders. A riveting period puzzler, filled with history, mystery, and romance."
Susan Elia MacNeal, New York Times bestselling author of the Maggie Hope series
"Rich with historical detail, Overholt brings turn-of-the-century New York to vibrant and gritty life. Readers will become immersed in the plight of her psychiatrist heroine and eagerly follow her through the twists and turns of the human mind."
Anna Lee Huber, national bestselling author of the Lady Darby mysteries.
"Backed by meticulous research and presented with acute attention to detail, the novel ... shines like a star in a highly competitive genre ... Even a seasoned reader of murder mysteries will be surprised at the number of false conclusions one can reach when [reading] Overholt's debut novel."
ForeWord Clarion Reviews, Five Stars
"...intriguing first novel...[a] richly detailed whodunit populated with believable characters."
Publishers Weekly
"This superb debut reflects the author's impeccable research with its portrait of turn-of-the-century New York City. Discussion questions at the end focusing on women's rights make this a solid book club choice."
Library Journal, Starred Review

U.S. Blamed For Mosque Attack
About 400,000 mourners took to the streets of Najaf Tuesday, flailing their backs and pounding their chests in anguish at the funeral of a leading Shiite cleric assassinated in a car bomb attack.
Men clad in white robes and dark uniforms brandishing Kalashnikov rifles stood guard along the roof of the gold-domed Imam Ali mosque, where Ayatollah Mohammed Baqir al-Hakim was killed Friday in the bloodiest attack since the fall of Saddam Hussein. Accounts of the death toll ranged from more than 80 to more than 120.
In an angry funeral oration, the cleric's brother blamed the U.S. occupation forces for the lax security that led to the attack at Iraq's most sacred Shiite mosque. He raged against the American troops and demanded they leave Iraq.
"The occupation force is primarily responsible for the pure blood that was spilled in holy Al-Najaf," said Abdel-Aziz al-Hakim, the ayatollah's brother and a member of the U.S.-picked Governing Council.
"Iraq must not remain occupied and the occupation must leave so that we can build Iraq as God wants us to do," he said.
Iraqi police say they have arrested nine key suspects in the bombing – all with alleged ties to the al Qaeda terrorist network. But CBS News has learned that U.S. officials doubt that any of the culprits have been caught.
In continuing violence, a car bomb blast outside Baghdad's police headquarters Tuesday killed one police officer and wounded up to 13 people, Iraqi police said. The U.S. military also reported that two U.S. soldiers were killed and a third was wounded when a bomb went off beside their convoy in southern Iraq on Monday.
L. Paul Bremer, the U.S. civilian administrator for Iraq, who cut short his vacation because of the bombing in Najaf, told a news briefing Tuesday that coalition forces want to share responsibility for national security with Iraqis.
"We have seen…the influx of both foreign fighters and foreign terrorists in the last months and it shows that Iraq is one of the battlefields in the worldwide war against terrorism," Bremer said. "We completely agree with the argument that we should find ways quickly to give Iraq and Iraqis more responsibility for security and indeed that is exactly what we are doing."
He said there were already as many as 60,000 Iraqis involved in the security of the country or being trained for such roles.
In Najaf, al-Hakim's family buried a symbolic coffin containing the ayatollah's watch, his pen and wedding ring in the 1920 Revolution Square, a cemetery set aside for martyrs from the Shiite uprising against British occupation. It was not possible to identify al-Hakim's remains following the blast.
Al-Hakim's 15 bodyguards, who died with him in the car bombing, were buried in neighboring plots.
The spiritual leader of the al Qaeda-linked Ansar al-Islam terrorist group, Mullah Krekar has denied that his organization played any role in the Najaf bombing, or the attacks on the Jordanian Embassy on Aug. 7 and the U.N. headquarters 12 days later. He said in a message broadcast on the Qatar-based Al-Jazeera satellite television station.
"I consider it very unlikely that members of Ansar al-Islam committed such big and grave acts," Krekar said, adding his group's Islamic convictions prevent them from striking such targets.
The report further muddled the issue of who could have perpetrated the attack.
The CIA said Monday it was examining an audiotape recording in which a man claiming to be Saddam denied he was behind the Najaf bombing. Al-Hakim was a longtime opponent of Saddam who returned from exile after the U.S. invasion.
The voice on the tape appeared to be that of Saddam and employed his well-known rhetorical flourishes in urging Iraqis not to believe those who blamed him and his followers for the bombing, which came shortly after al-Hakim delivered a sermon calling for Iraqi unity.
Some Iraqi police officials leading the investigation of the bombing have said they believe al Qaeda linked Islamic militants were behind the attack — not Saddam loyalists. The FBI said it would help investigate the bombing after receiving a request from local officials.
U.S. officials meet their peers from the European Union, the United Arab Emirates, Japan, the World Bank and the United Nations in Brussels on Wednesday to prepare for a donors conference next month in the Spanish capital, Madrid.
Bremer told The Washington Post last week that Iraq would need "several tens of billions" of dollars to get the country functioning again.
With U.S. military expenses in Iraq running at $3.9 billion a month and a federal deficit heading for a record $480 billion next year, Washington faces a pressing need to find partners to cover the reconstruction costs.

In Paul Pasqualoni's two years, there's been little good news for the Huskies football team. Back-to-back 5-7 records and an ever-changing conference where the only thing that stays the same is UConn's place in it.
But here's something to celebrate even if it doesn't directly affect the program: Chargers rookie second-rounder and former UConn defensive lineman Kendall Reyes has been named to Mel Kiper's All-Rookie team. Details via ESPN (via Sox & Dawgs):
Kendall Reyes, Chargers: A 3-4 defensive end, Reyes was maybe the most athletic defensive tackle in the 2012 draft. Once he got the reps in San Diego he produced, and he should be a stud going forward. He finished with 5.5 sacks and simply destroyed the Jets in Week 16.
Reyes entered his senior season as one of the country's best linemen, played up to that level for UConn, performed well at the February combine and the Huskies' pro day, and parlayed that into a second-round draft selection. He was one of the few bright spots on the Chargers, a team that went 7-9 six games back of the AFC West leading Broncos.
The disappointing season (along with several that preceded it) cost coach Norv Turner his job, something Reyes spoke about recently.
"Norv is a great guy," Reyes said via the Nashua Telegraph. "I love him to death and I've learned a lot from him. I'll forever remember him and I hope we'll stay in touch. …
"Regardless of what happened you have to be resilient and that's the type of group we have in the locker room," Reyes said. "That's what we're going to do and whatever happens from this day forth, we just have to approach it one day at a time."

Bobbi Brown Sheer Lip Color
The first thing to say about these lip sheers that launch in May is that they are NOT that sheer… they give an amazing amount of pay off for a sheer.
If there is such a thing as a demi-sheer, I'd say it was more that than the level of translucency you'd expect traditionally with a sheer. But, as ever, they're gorgeously flattering colours with something for everyone.. total wearability in every respect. I've got shades X and Y here, but watch out for Passion Fruit (ultra bright pink/coral) Black Plum, a dark wine shade that is amazing with gently tanned skin). These will cost £19 each.

David Graeber has an interesting piece in the Guardian which wonders why, in the face of the damage done by financial and political elites in the last decade, working class people did not rise up in protests around the world.
As he notes, the rich certainly would have done so if the opposite had happened:
"What I can't understand is, why aren't people rioting in the streets?" I hear this, now and then, from people of wealthy and powerful backgrounds. There is a kind of incredulity. "After all," the subtext seems to read, "we scream bloody murder when anyone so much as threatens our tax shelters; if someone were to go after my access to food or shelter, I'd sure as hell be burning banks and storming parliament. What's wrong with these people?"
It's a good question. One would think a government that has inflicted such suffering on those with the least resources to resist, without even turning the economy around, would have been at risk of political suicide. Instead, the basic logic of austerity has been accepted by almost everyone. Why? Why do politicians promising continued suffering win any working-class acquiescence, let alone support, at all?
The answer to the last question seems to be that the elites have done a great job in branding social solidarity as an antiquated idea:
There was a time when caring for one's community could mean fighting for the working class itself. Back in those days we used to talk about "social progress". Today we are seeing the effects of a relentless war against the very idea of working-class politics or working-class community. That has left most working people with little way to express that care except to direct it towards some manufactured abstraction: "our grandchildren"; "the nation"; whether through jingoist patriotism or appeals to collective sacrifice.
As a result everything is thrown into reverse. Generations of political manipulation have finally turned that sense of solidarity into a scourge. Our caring has been weaponised against us.
I have not read enough on this topic to know whether Graber's analysis is right or not but, from an economics perspective, I find it his question fascinating. Every day the rich organize and invest to protect and increase their share of wealth, and this is perfectly normal and correct. What amazes me is why other classes fail to do so as well. Yes, there are groups that represent specific sectors of the middle class — unions and other organizations such as the AARP, for example — but in the U.S. especiallly the lower-middle and working classes rarely organize themselves to take on the same logical and reasonable challenge of protecting what they have or even increasing it. If it's good for the rich, then it's good for the poor as well. Is it the psychology of the poor in the 21st Century (since it was not always that way in the past)? Is it that they have given up in the face of the increasing technical complexity of modern life? Whatever the answer is, the battle has become very easy for the elites to win, which is why we see increasing inequality in rich societies.
So the result of the phonomenon Graber notes is easy to understand but not the cause. If people act rationally most of the time, then why do those with the most to lose (from a relative wealth perspective) seem the calmest about losing it? It's an important question because in another time in history, noblesse oblige might have kicked in within the elites. Today, it's the opposite: the less the poor have, the more they are seen as "takers" and thus less-deserving of help. This the vicious spiral of the working class today, and, if Graber is right, they need to start speaking on their own behalf because depending on others to speak for them is apparently no longer a valid strategy.

Mystery of Missing PSNI Statistics
Over the past few months on the Slugger O'Toole website and elsewhere I've drawn attention to the surfeit of senior officers in the ranks of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) and a significant deficit of constables at a time when further moves have been made to dispense with the Full Time Reserve.
Comparisons can be made by rank against the overall Patten figure of 7500 full time officers, broken down by rank to give Established figures. These Established figures have been 'dropped' from the current January statistics. Why? Have they become an embarrassment? Also, why are student numbers included in the full time officer numbers?
Does the new Chief Constable, Matt Baggott, agree or disagree with the statistics provided by the PSNI? Has he played any part in the removal of the Established figures?
Does the Policing Board have a view on the removal of the Established figures* from the monthly statistics or on any of the other points raised in this blog?

Placenames of Northern Ireland Project
"The Northern Ireland Place-Name Project, established in 1987, researches the origin and meaning of the place-names of Northern Ireland. It is the only centre for the study of Gaelic place-names in the United Kingdom, with parallels in the Institute for Name-Studies in the University of Nottingham in England, and the Archif Melville Richards Place-Name Database in the University of Bangor, North Wales. The Northern Ireland Place-Name Project grew out of the work of the voluntary Ulster Place-Name Society established in 1952, and supports the aim of the Scottish Place-Name Society to achieve a similar centre for the study of place-names in Scotland. Within Ireland, the Northern Ireland Place-Name Project co-operates with colleagues in Dublin in the Placenames Branch of the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, and in the Locus project on historical Irish place-names in University College Cork.
The place-names of Northern Ireland include those of 6 counties, 60-plus barony and district names, 269 parishes, 9,600 townlands and at least 20,000 other names, in the languages of Irish Gaelic, English and Scots, with a few names in Latin or Old Norse. The gazetteer compiled by the Northern Ireland Place-Name Project is still growing, with current additions including both traditional names of fields and modern streets. There has always been a strong "community relations" aspect to the work, since everyone lives in a place."
The townland can also be located on a map and when you zoom into the map you're also given the option of historic maps from 1830 and 1850. I've noted a problem with the former. It would appear that there is an overlay from another location on the townland I chose to view.

Progressive Heating and Air Wins NCI's 2018 Contractor of the Year AwardPosted: March 22, 2018 Filed under: About Progressive, Business, Energy Efficiency, Heating and Air Conditioning, Indoor Air Quality, Preventative Maintenance | Tags: Air conditioner, air conditioning, Air filter, Air Quality, Atlanta metropolitan area, Business, Climate Control, Coweta County, Heat pump, heating and air conditioning, Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning, hvac, HVAC accreditation, Indoor air quality, insulation, Mechanical, NATE Certified Technicians, Newnan, Newnan Georgia, Newnan-Coweta Chamber of Commerce, Peachtree City, preventative maintenance, Preventive maintenance, progressive ac, progressive heating and air, Senoia, Sharpsburg Leave a comment
Progressive Heating and Air Conditioning of Newnan, GA was recently named Large Contractor of the Year by National Comfort Institute, Inc. (NCI) during their 2018 annual conference in Austin, TX. The High-Performance HVAC Summit 2018, was has held from March 4-6th. This award recognizes outstanding achievement in Performance-Based Contracting*, quality workmanship, and dedication to customer service. Companies in this award category achieve more than $4 million in sales annually.
NCI has two other Contractor of the Year categories that break out as follows:
- Small – achieve under $1.5 million in sales annually
- Medium– achieves between $1.6 million and $3.9 million in sales.
Progressive Heating and Air Conditioning is a contracting firm serving residential and commercial HVAC customers in and around the Newnan, Georgia area. Company Owner Greg Wallace says Progressive has 27 employees and fields 17 installation and service vehicles.
The 24-year-old company has experienced steady growth, even during the recent economic downturns faced in the U.S. in general and in Georgia in particular.
Wallace attributes the growth and success to a company-wide commitment to training and staying on the cutting edge. "If you want to serve your customers best, you must have training," he says. He adds that Performance-Based Contracting™, as taught by NCI, is the key. "As the trainers at NCI always say, 'if you don't measure, you're just guessing.'"
He adds, "Consumers deserve to receive the comfort and efficiency they are promised and pay for. What better way to provide that than through measured and verifiable proof. That is what NCI teaches. And that is what we practice."
Rob Falke, president of NCI, presented Progressive's award during the closing banquet of the High-Performance HVAC Summit. He explained that Greg Wallace and his team had "not only earned 75 NCI certifications, but they also strive to keep those certifications current. They are unified in their goal of continuous improvement and they share a common mission of providing customers the best service in the business."
NCI selects its Contractors of the Year based on some very well-defined criteria:
- The company must be in the process or already completed implementing Performance-Based testing as prescribed by the National Comfort Institute
- The company must have in place or be in the process of having in place a Performance-Based business culture
- The company must have a strong service department and must sell and maintain service agreements
- As part of the Home Performance approach, the company must target HVAC system renovation sales in addition to equipment replacement sales
- Training must be part of the company culture.
So why is this important to consumers? Why should they choose an NCI-certified contractor like Progressive Heating over other contracting firms? For the same reasons they choose:
- A certified public accountant
- A certified realtor
- An AMA-certified doctor
- A bar-certified lawyer.
In these professions, the designations come to people who have studied, tested, and achieved a level of competence that resulted in receiving a professional certification.
NCI-certified contractors have attended classes, learned how to use specialized tools and instruments, and are kept constantly up-to-date on the latest diagnostic and repair skills. An NCI-certified technician has passed a recognized testing process which validates his or her understanding of the technology and procedures used in this field. In addition, NCI monitors their certified contractors and requires recertification every two years.
THE NATIONAL COMFORT INSTITUTE (NCI) is the nation's premier Performance-Based training, certification, and membership organization focused on helping heating, air conditioning, plumbing, and electrical contractors to grow their businesses and become more profitable. To date, the organization has trained and certified more than 25,000 industry professionals in a variety of disciplines including system diagnostics and design, indoor air quality, air balancing, carbon monoxide analysis, and combustion efficiency. To learn more, please visit the NCI website at http://www.nationalcomfortinstitute.com.
*NCI coined the phrase "Performance-Based Contracting™", a unique approach to managing a contracting business through accountability and measurable results. During the past two decades, NCI has trained and certified more than 25,000 HVAC professionals.

As the weather turns chilly, improve your home's comfort, and save energy and money all while doing a good thing for the environment. By using energy efficiently at home, you not only lower your energy bills, but prevent air pollution too. Here are ways to save, offered by the ENERGY STAR program at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
1. Know the Facts – The average family spends $1,500 a year on energy bills, with nearly half of that spent on heating and cooling. Energy-efficient heating and cooling equipment, installed alongside a well-sealed duct system, can save as much as 20 percent on annual energy costs.
2. Keep it Clean – A dirty air filter can increase your energy costs and lead to early equipment failure. Clean or change the air filter in your heating and cooling system regularly. Also, have your equipment checked seasonally to make sure it's operating efficiently and safely – check-ups can identify problems early. Dirt and neglect are the #1 causes of system failure.
3. Bundle Up – Hidden gaps and cracks in a home can add up to as much airflow as an open window. When heat escapes, your system must work harder and you use more energy. Home Sealing can improve your home "envelope" – the outer walls, ceiling, windows and floors — and
can save up to 10 percent in energy costs. Start by sealing air leaks and adding insulation, while paying special attention to your attic and basement, where the biggest gaps and cracks are often found. If replacing windows, choose ENERGY STAR qualified ones.
4. Tighten Your Ducts – If you have a forced air furnace or heat pump, then a duct system is responsible for circulating warm air throughout your home. Leaky ducts can reduce your system's overall efficiency by 20 percent, causing your equipment to work harder than necessary to keep you comfortable. Ask your HVAC contractor about improving your ducts.
5. Don't Oversize – When replacing old equipment, make sure your new equipment is properly sized for your home. An oversized system will cost more to buy and operate and will cycle on and off too frequently, reducing your comfort and leading to early system failures and repair costs. Correct sizing will ensure that your equipment works efficiently. Make sure your HVAC contractor uses Manual J or an equivalent sizing tool to determine what's right for your home.
6. Consult a Professional – Find an experienced, licensed contractor before embarking on any heating and cooling overhaul. Visit http://www.natex.orq to find a contractor whose technicians are certified by NATE (North American Technician Excellence), the leading industry-supported testing and certification program.
7. Shop Smart – If your heating equipment has not been regularly maintained and is 15 years or older, it's probably time for a more efficient replacement. Ask for an ENERGY STAR when buying the following equipment:
- Furnaces – Old furnaces cost more to operate per year than new, ENERGY STAR qualified models that are 15 percent more efficient than standard models.
- Boilers – An ENERGY STAR qualified boiler uses features like electric ignition and new combustion technologies that extract more heat from the same amount of fuel, to be seven percent more energy-efficient.
- Heat Pumps – When installed in a home with a well-sealed envelope, heat pumps provide great value and comfort for your energy dollar. An ENERGY STAR qualified geothermal heat pump is 30 percent more efficient than comparable new equipment and can save you as much as $400 annually. A qualified electric heat pump is 20 percent more efficient.
- Programmable Thermostats – Regulate your home's temperature with four programmable settings and you can save about $100 annually on your energy bills.

Repair or Replace: That's the QuestionPosted: November 21, 2014 Filed under: Energy Efficiency, Heating and Air Conditioning | Tags: air conditioning, Air handler, Atlanta, Atlanta metropolitan area, Central heating, Climate Control Leave a comment
When should you repair an aging HVAC unit and when should you replace? Great question!
According to the National Association of Home Builder's Study of Life Expectancy of Home Components, residential furnaces last 15-20 years. Energy Star believes a replacement is necessary if a heat pump or a/c is more than ten years old, a furnace is more than fifteen years old, equipment needs frequent repairs, energy bills are going up, a home has humidity problems, a home has excessive dust, or the heating and cooling system is noisy. Something else to keep in mind is that HVAC companies should take sizing of the unit keeping different housing/environmental issues in mind. However, precise life expectancy is difficult to pinpoint due to numerous factors such as climate, usage, maintenance, rating and more.
Consider replacement if the equipment is beyond 3/4 of the life expectancy and repairs will cost more than a third of replacement. For example: if your furnace is 15 years old and you're facing a $750 repair, you should probably replace the unit. Keep in mind that you can also take this opportunity to improve your home comfort and lower your utility bill. In other words, don't just settle with a single-stage 80% efficient furnace and be done with it – consider things like multiple staging, 95% efficiency and variable speed blowers to maximize your savings and comfort.
While there may never be a singular answer on when it is time to replace an HVAC unit instead of repair it, the decision should always come down to HVAC contractors doing their best work. In the end it should be the company, not the equipment that you invest your dollars in.
Thanks to ACHR News for the great information in this blog post.
Is Your HVAC System Under Warranty?Posted: August 29, 2014 Filed under: Energy Efficiency, Heating and Air Conditioning, Preventative Maintenance | Tags: Air conditioner, air conditioning, Air filter, Atlanta, Atlanta metropolitan area, Coweta County, Energy, Fayette County, Fayetteville, Furnace, Heat pump, heating and air conditioning, Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning, preventative maintenance, Preventive maintenance, progressive heating and air, warranty Leave a comment
Warranties give most of us peace of mind when making a big purchase like a car, a home – even on an air conditioner. Let's face it, your HVAC system is no small investment. But – same as a warranty on your car – lack of maintenance could is one major factor that could jeopardize your warranty. If you don't have documentation that your system has been maintained according to manufacturer's requirements, your necessary repairs may not be covered. This is especially true regarding home and extended warranties.
Another factor are parts ordered from the internet. Don't do it! Only order parts and have them installed through a licensed contractor. Saving a few dollars on a part may void the entire warranty.
Lastly – keep a proof of purchase near the owners manual and warranty information so you can't misplace it. Proof of purchase may be required if your system needs a repair done under warranty, and your current service provider did not install the job. Keep in mind, new systems must be installed by a licensed HVAC contractor – or the warranty for the entire system could also be null and void.
We are always hear for any questions you have. Before altering anything on your system, give us a call at 770-253-2665 – we can help!
Mother Nature CAN Work for YouPosted: June 3, 2014 Filed under: Energy Efficiency, Heating and Air Conditioning, Preventative Maintenance | Tags: Air conditioner, air conditioning, Air Quality, Atlanta metropolitan area, Coweta County, Energy, Fayette County, Fayetteville, GA, heating and air conditioning, Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning, hvac, NATE Certified Technicians, Newnan, Peachtree City, preventative maintenance, Senoia, Sharpsburg, summer, Temperature Leave a comment
You may have noticed that some rooms will occasionally be hotter or cooler than others. Your upstairs bedroom may take longer to cool in the summer, or the kitchen may be chillier in the winter.
Don't worry! There may not be anything wrong with your system. If your home is multi-level, you will naturally experience the effect of warm air rising to the upper level and cooler air falling to the lower. In addition, solar gain can cause temperatures to rise in certain rooms. This is definitely the case in rooms with west-facing windows during the late afternoon. Forces of nature are not the only factors that will raise your home's indoor temperature. Cooking and showering will cause the humidity of your home to increase. Even without a raise in temperature, higher levels of humidity can cause you to feel warmer and uncomfortable.
While the laws of nature (and the law of teenagers taking long showers) may be out of your control, you can use your home's ventilation system to improve the situation. By adjusting or closing registers that are too cool in summer or too warm in the winter, you can divert conditioned air to rooms where you need it the most. By making the laws of nature work for you, you should be able to achieve even, comfortable temperatures in every room of your home. If that does not do the trick, there may be some ventilation issues at play that deserve a closer look.

Preventative Maintenance Is Important!Posted: May 30, 2014 Filed under: Energy Efficiency, Heating and Air Conditioning, Preventative Maintenance | Tags: Air conditioner, air conditioning, Atlanta, Atlanta metropolitan area, Coweta County, Energy, Fayette County, Fayetteville, Heat pump, heating and air conditioning, Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning, hvac, Newnan, Newnan Georgia, Peachtree City, preventative maintenance, progressive ac, progressive heating and air, Senoia, Sharpsburg, summer, Temperature Leave a comment
Preventative maintenance for your air conditioner is important. Inspecting the system to check for problems before they grow into major air conditioner malfunctions can save hundreds of dollars and periodic preventative maintenance for your air conditioner is a great way to accomplish that. Semi-annual preventative maintenance, or annual preventative maintenance, for your air conditioner by Progressive Heating & Air can go a long way in ensuring the effective operation of your air conditioner.
Progressive Heating & Air's Preventative Maintenance Program will keep your air conditioner running at its peak performance and efficiency.
Inadequate preventative maintenance for your air conditioner is one of the chief causes of air conditioner malfunctions, poor performance and inefficiency. Like an automobile needs inexpensive periodic preventative maintenance to keep it running and to avoid costly repairs, your air conditioner requires periodic preventative maintenance. Neglecting preventative maintenance for your air conditioner may lead to a steady decline in the air conditioner's performance as well as increased energy consumption and costs. It is also important to point out that maintenance is required to keep your equipments warranties in good standing.

Help the Elderly Prepare for Summer MonthsPosted: May 19, 2014 Filed under: Heating and Air Conditioning, Preventative Maintenance, Tips For Your Health | Tags: Air conditioner, air conditioning, Atlanta, Atlanta metropolitan area, Coweta County, Fayette County, Fayetteville, heating and air conditioning, Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning, hvac, NATE Certified Technicians, Newnan, Newnan Georgia, Peachtree City, preventative maintenance, Senoia, Sharpsburg, summer Leave a comment
When you think of taking care of an aging parent or friend, the first thing that may come to mind is helping with meals, errands, doctors visits, etc. Those that have stepped into the shoes of being a caretaker understand that there is a lot more to it – you take on the responsibility of home maintenance and repairs – and specifically, the air conditioning system.
According to the Center for Disease Control, about 400 Americans die each year to heat related conditions, and nearly half f them are elderly. They are at greater risk for heat stress or stroke risk due to several factors.
- Their bodies do not adjust as easily to sudden changes in temperature.
- They are more likely to have medical conditions such as heart, lung and kidney disease. Other medical issues that increase their risk are high blood pressure and diabetes.
- They may take medications that render them more susceptible to the heat. Some medications are known to inhibit perspiration which leaves them even more vulnerable in hot weather.
- Age related dementia – they may simply forget to turn on the air conditioning, or may not realize if it is not functioning properly.
- Isolation – some may not have friends or family members who check in on them regularly.
- Cost – being on fixed incomes, some seniors may be reluctant to use the air conditioning, believing that the use of electric fans will be sufficient – and they are not. While possibly providing a breeze, they do nothing to eliminate the extreme humidity we face in Georgia.
The fact is, heat related illness and deaths are 100% preventable; and according to the CDC, air conditioning is the number one protective factor against heat related illness and death. So – making sure air conditioning systems are in good working order before the summer sets in order should be a top priority.

So what do you say when you don't cook much anymore? When you find yourself falling back on the now tired recipes that you've lovingly developed over the years, that ones that reflect your style and how you want your food to taste, but that now seem as boring as the roads you've driven on for the last 30 years?
When cookbooks all seem like product and the magic of discovery in magazine recipes just looks like the business of content and successful pitches?
When all of the local restaurants serve standard variations on the same common ingredients and if you get a side of broccoli one more time, you're going to scream? When the places you eat at out of town serve pale reflections of the latest trends?
When none of your ideas seem to generate much passion and your agent's only comment is that she can't sell 30,000 copies and try again?
When you are in love with words and the thought of not writing something of value is as unthinkable as is the thought of having no words to polish.
I suppose you write about what's in front of you. The crab cakes you cooked the other night, using jumbo lump crabmeat and a recipe from the Annapolis Junior League, that came out crisp and filled with pieces of crab with no taste of breading, sided with a remoulade/cocktail sauce combination. They were the kind of crab cakes that you always want to get when the server tells you the kitchen makes the best crabcakes she's ever had and you know that you know better, but hope springs eternal and no matter how filled with shreds of crab they are, they arrive tasting only of breading.
You think about the shrimp that you shallow poached in a thick soup of Old Bay and lemon juice, omitting the hot peppers in the faint hope that small children might be tempted to try them, that came out cooked a point and tasting equally strongly of Old Bay and shrimp. You slide by the less successful, the albodigas that had too much coriander for your taste and give another wry smile at the crudites you served with a roasted onion dip from Whole Foods that was an organic version of French Onion soup dip.
Or, you think about the scallop appetizer that you ate in at The Evening Star a couple of nights ago. One bite of the smooth, confident, gently-pickled eggplant that the scallop was sitting on and suddenly you were tasting shulutah again, the eggplant, carrot, celery, and garlic pickle that your Romanian grandmother simmered in half white vinegar and half water, keeping a quart mayonnaise jar in her refrigerator at all times. Talking with the service manager at the restaurant, she said the chef had based it on a version of chow chow that had originally come from France (chou chou?) and from Eastern Europe before that. It's not that I have become someone who rails about the present and wants only what he used to have—it was just that it was so good, so familiar and so unexpected. And so tasty.

Being Human Can Kill – Part 1

Recently, a Florida school board settled a lawsuit with three families whose children died in 2011. The infraction? The school principal practiced hypnosis on them prior to two committing suicide and one dying in a car crash.
Without a doubt, this is a sad, tragic event. Unfortunately, both the school board and the media are getting it wrong. The hypnosis sessions did not kill those children. Hypnosis is a focused state of attention. We actually go into hypnosis all the time – it's how we learn and how we remember and why we respond to circumstances in particular ways.Read More»

Everyone wants to heal, but timing can be important. As a hypnotherapist and success coach, people often ask me when they should schedule sessions. Or, sometimes they feel a particular time is too stressful. In reality, any time is a good time. In fact, the more stressful, the better! If you're taxed, it makes it harder to suppress self-sabotages and easier to heal them. In fact, if you're not relaxed, that's the stuff we're working on.

Robin Williams gave many people joy.
You might be sad that he is dead. Or you might be feeling compassion. It's important to know the difference. Compassion doesn't hurt. It is pure, healing and whole. It is love. Compassion is recognizing his depression and sadness. Compassion is empathizing with what his close family and friends are feeling.Read More»

Switching To A Vegan Diet regime? 12 Things You Want To Know
Vegin' Out is a premier on-line vegan food, vegan meals and vegetarian meal delivery service for Los Angeles, Southern California and nationwide. Luckily, for folks who cannot eat eggs, or for those that do not want to eat them every single day, there is a myriad of healthier sources of protein for breakfast. Low-cost vegetarian (virtually all vegan, except for some drinks?) Vietnamese meals run by Buddhist volunteers. The less processing applied for these foods the greater as this indicates more vitamins and nutrients are incorporated.
We'll help you learn the practical methods to living an easy vegan life-style so you can make easy vegan meals on-the-fly in 30 minutes or much less. They also supply a wonderful way for individuals curious about vegan foods to transition to plant-primarily based eating. The menu rotates, but vegan options are clearly marked as vegan/vegan Achievable, and the kitchen is flexible with creations. Marble Sweets – I truly hope this list of protein-rich foods is beneficial to your mother. In addition, Brillobox hosts their Starving Artist Vegetarian Dinner" each Sunday evening, with a vegan choice obtainable.
Even if you don't live in a massive city with completely vegan restaurants, there is a surprisingly huge quantity of vegan choices for eating out nearly anywhere in the globe. Perhaps 1 of these days, we will arrive at a point where we vegetarians are not accosted about our food options, and inquiries as to the nutritional value of exact same. Gus's cafe and PGH Taco Truck have teamed up in Lawrenceville to provide you with all the deliciousness of a food truck, in the comfort of a neighborhood bar! It's such an straightforward way to get protein, besides the reality that eggs are versatile and can be used in so many recipes.
The vegan diet program is here to stay, no doubt about it, and it is gaining even much more momentum as time goes by. In other words, you are in quite good organization. This company gives weekly delivery alternatives for single orders that will serve nine vegan meals or discounted double orders that will serve 18 vegan meals. They supply vegan pizza made with Daiya cheese and with toppings like seitan sausage and soy pepperoni.
For instance, the Pyramid's Fortified Soymilk and Alternates grouping takes the location of the conventional pyramid's Dairy Meals Group – both meals groups concentrate on calcium-rich foods. But with the expertise of which foods and drinks are protein-wealthy and a strategy, there certainly are lots of techniques to attain your aim of 70g of daily protein.

Starting in January, 100 obese South Carolina government workers will have a chance to get their weight loss surgery completely paid for.
Yahoo News reports that under the pilot program, South Carolina's state employee insurance plan will cover weight loss surgery for 100 workers on a first come, first serve basis.
The test program was put in the 2020-11 budget to address the state's growing obesity problem. The obesity rate in South Carolina has doubled since 1990, with an alarming 30 percent of adults classified as obese. According the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly two out three adults in South Carolina are overweight or obese.
Each surgery costs about $24,000, which may sound like an astronomical price to pay, but it is nothing compared to the current $1 billion spent each year in South Carolina on obesity-related health issues.
Workers who hope to qualify for the program must have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of over 40, which clinically classifies them as morbidly obese, pass a psychological exam and participate in post-surgical nutrition and support plans.
While the announcement has many excited over cutting costs, saving lives and improving health, others are criticizing the decision, claiming the state should be encouraging healthy weight loss and lifestyle changes. If obese employees can get free surgery, where is the incentive for them to take care of themselves? And where are the benefits for those who are working hard to lose weight and change their health habits on their own? Many believe it's fixing the symptom and not addressing and preventing the issue itself.
Do you think South Carolina is on the right track to curbing their obesity problem? Is funding weight loss surgery the best way to end obesity, or just a quick fix to cut spending?
