The Fight Against Disease: Malaria and Economic Development in Italian Regions by Marco Percoco
Abstract: Malaria is thought to be strictly related to underdevelopment and poverty, and its geographically related origin is now widely recognized. That is, it is endemic only in certain areas of the globe, with environmental and climatic characteristics that are ideal for the proliferation of mosquitoes, which are the vector for transmitting the disease. This feature is the main reason why a large body of economic literature uses mortality from malaria as a proxy with which to measure the effect of geography on human outcomes. Cases of eradication are being scrutinized by scholars to determine the socioeconomic impacts of malaria. Among the various malaria parasites, the worst, Plasmodium falciparum, infested Italian regions for centuries until its eradication in the period 1945–50. This article presents an empirical assessment of the economic outcomes of the eradication of malaria in the Italian regions by exploiting the spatial variation in mortality rates. I found support for the hypothesis that the eradication of malaria increases human capital in the long run. In particular, I found that eradication increased the years of schooling by about 0.3 years, although my evidence suggests a greater effect on males than on females. Moreover, I found support for a long-run impact of eradication actions that operated through an intergenerational spillover effect and accounted for about 0.07 years of schooling.

The Impact of Objective and Subjective Measures of Air Quality and Noise on House Prices: A Multilevel Approach for Downtown Madrid by Coro Chasco, Julie Le Gallo
Abstract: Air quality and urban noise are major concerns in big cities. This article presents an evaluation of how they affect transaction prices in downtown Madrid. For this purpose, we incorporated both objective and subjective measures of air quality and noise and used multilevel models, since our sample was hierarchically organized into three levels: 5,080 houses (level 1) in 759 census tracts (level 2) and 43 neighborhoods (level 3). Variables are available for each level, individual characteristics for the first level, and various socioeconomic data for the other levels. We estimated multilevel hedonic models to assess the marginal willingness to pay for better air quality and reduced noise in downtown Madrid. We found that noise and air pollution are place-based perception variables with a so-called halo effect: residents in wealthier neighborhoods do not perceive their environment as being highly polluted because of their higher "sense of place." In addition, we found a counterintuitive positive sign for the effect of objective measures of pollutants on housing prices but a significantly negative effect of the subjective measures. For these reasons, we conclude that housing prices are better explained by subjective evaluation factors than by objective measurements.

Value Creation in Scene-based Music Production: The Case of Electronic Club Music in Germany, by Bastian Lange, Hans-Joachim Bürkner
Abstract: The focus of this article is on the variability of value creation in the popular music industry. Recent trends in electronic music have been based on both the valorization of global tastes and of local specialities in performance and production. Depending on musical styles and market niches, local scenes have become important forces behind heterogeneous "globalocal" markets. At the same time, technological change and the virtualization of music production and distribution contribute to increasingly differentiated configurations of value creation. It is therefore necessary to reconstruct theoretically and empirically the new interplay among the local music production, digital media markets, and virtual communities that are involved. On the basis of empirical explorations in a German hot spot of electronic club-music production (the city of Berlin), the article indentifies local interaction practice and constellations of stakeholders. The findings show that value creation in these rapidly changing production scenes has moved away from the large-scale distribution of producer-induced media to audience-induced live performance and interactive soundtrack production. This change involves the rising importance of cultural embeddings such as taste building, reputation building among artists and producers, and local community building. Starting from an open theoretical problematization of value creation with regard to fluid scenes and shifting modes of production, the results of first empirical reconstructions are taken as inputs to an evolving discussion on the configurations of value creation in consumer-based strands of music production.

Fueling Capitalism: Oil, the Regulation Approach, and the Ecology of Capital, by Matt Huber
Abstract:Despite a deepening set of socioecological contradictions, it is remarkable that oil's centrality to capitalism persists. In economic geography, the regulation approach has been useful in explaining the persistence of capitalism despite its contradictory tendencies, and scholars have recently applied the regulation approach to the geography of natural resources and environmental governance. In this article, I argue that environmental regulation theory is ill equipped to explain the persistence of petro-capitalism in the United States. This literature has been constructed largely through a critique of regulation theory on two grounds: ignoring the ecological dimension and relying on periodization. Conversely, I aim to show that petro-capitalism can be usefully analyzed through the very classical regulationist lens that environmental appropriations jettison. First, rather than positing nature as an unexamined "extra-economic" dimension, the case of oil reveals how ecology can be integrated into a foundational concept of the regulation approach—the wage relation. Specifically, the Fordist wage relation of mass production for mass consumption was dependent on the construction of a specific kind of "high energy economy." Massive productivity gains in the labor process, powered by electricity, created larger pressures for an equally energy-intensive geography of consumption. In this respect, oil played a decisive role in the extension of the spaces between home and work through the partial generalization of automobility and single-family home ownership. Second, I attempt to recuperate the method of "periodization" by explaining how a set of institutional supports served to regularize the provision of oil through the domestic oil market from 1935 through 1972. I end with a discussion of the "institutional exhaustion" of a specifically national form of petro-Fordism during the 1970s.

I have been a Microsoft defender for decades. "No, MS-DOS 4.0 isn't really that bad," I pleaded to friends almost 25 years ago. "Give Windows 98 a chance" I begged ten or 11 years later. Heck, I extolled the virtues of Vista (which I did believe in, by the way) to anyone willing to listen. But in the wake of last week's introduction of the Consumer Preview edition of Windows 8, I can say only this: Microsoft, you're on your own.
Never — and I'm going to repeat this for additional emphasis, never – have I been as horrified by one of the company's products as I am by this one. (Yes, I used Microsoft Bob.) Every choice seems to have been made for a sketchy reason, and the full collection of them bears the haphazard feel of the morning after a particularly raucous college party. Scratch that: Even at my most inebriated, I'm pretty sure I would never conceive of something like Windows 8.
Don't say I haven't given it a chance. I have. I first used it last year, when the Developer Preview was unveiled. I was less than impressed at that point, but I assumed that Microsoft would get with the game and fix the most brazen mistakes, undo (or at least downplay) some of the more questionable "improvements," and not dare to put it before the public again until it was in presentable shape. How wrong I was. This incarnation of Windows 8 is, if anything, even worse than the previous one — because it suggests this is what Microsoft actually intends to release.
Based on its current form, Windows 8 represents an unconscionable, and barely comprehensible, rejection of the values Microsoft has spent the last 26 years perfecting in its visual operating system. It doesn't make computers easier to navigate and understand, it makes them more difficult, paradoxically by making the interface so brain-dead simple that it can't do anything someone with a brain might actually want. Want to close an application without using Alt-F4? Forget it. Want the menus and settings intelligently organized? No chance. Want to just display two windows on the screen at the same time? Good luck with that.
Yes, Microsoft has released a product it's calling Windows that doesn't use windows as part of its primary interface. Can you figure that out? I can't.
Okay, correction. I can figure it out, and it's related to the only good reason for Windows 8′s existence: its tablet friendliness. Microsoft has obviously reached the same conclusion as Apple, Google, and many technophiles and decided that tablets and phones are where most computing will be done in the future. And the new Metro interface, which displaces the Desktop as the initial Windows 8 environment, makes sense when looked at that way. Plenty of extra-large icons and buttons, a heavy focus on horizontal scrolling, and using the whole screen for every task — this is all commonplace tablet stuff.
But what Microsoft forgot, or perhaps ignored, is that the world is not yet all tablets. There are millions upon millions of current or prospective desktop and laptop owners out there who want and need to use their computer with their mouse rather than their finger, and think being able to flip instantly between applications — and see them simultaneously — isn't a feature but a necessity. And, of course, there are plenty of serious users who don't want the PC on which they spend huge chunks of their waking life to look like it was designed by Fisher-Price. They want their interface and their way of working to be completely under their control. Which, until now, it always has been.
With Windows 8, Microsoft is taking most of your choices away. Once you open programs, you don't get to decide to close them. You don't get to decide if you'd like a nonintrusive log-on screen. You don't get to decide if you don't like Metro enough to boot into it. You don't get to decide how, or even if, you want to arrange programs on your screen. Microsoft will do it all for you, because that's how tablets work — and your computer not being a tablet is irrelevant. One imagines that Microsoft sees the industry as one day not letting you decide whether your computer even is a tablet. Quite probably that's where we're headed. But we're not there yet.
Microsoft is not entirely alone in this outlook, of course. Apple pioneered it with its iPhone, spread it with its iPad, and is trying to propagate it still further with each new release of its converging OS lines. But Apple has one advantage Microsoft doesn't: It controls the hardware, too. This lets Apple ensure that its devices, of any size or complexity, work with the software exactly the way they're supposed to. One of the main reasons I've stuck with Microsoft so long is that its openness across a broad range of products and platforms encourages using technology the way I like to: while maintaining foundational control over the hardware and the software alike.
That doesn't work in the Metro-ized Windows 8 — either way. Interacting with apps is clunky and nonintuitive with the mouse. Programs take longer than they should to start because each is accompanied by animation that plays before it opens. Switching between open tasks (which you'll do all the time, as they're so difficult to close) is cumbersome and confusing if you use either of the new "corner" methods rather than the stalwart (and, thankfully, still-working) Alt-Tab. Signing in is a chore because you have to "sweep away" a splash screen and log in via a Microsoft account, and finding the setting to change this is like a scavenger hunt in a junkyard. And what if you don't care about your e-mail, your calendar, the weather, or the Microsoft Store — why should you have to remove all those links instead of add them as you want them? Previous versions of Windows stashed them in the Start menu or on the taskbar, but here they're front and center. Again: taking choices away by default.
The good news is that if you hate Metro you can still use the desktop. Sort of. Unfortunately, it's treated as another app, and not something you can see automatically when you turn on your computer. And, once you get in, the functionality is basically identical to that of Windows 7, minus the convenience of the traditional Start button and menu. In other words, if you buy Windows 8 and don't groove on it, you're not even granted an updated alternative to the OS you gave up. This is, in every way, a raw deal for everyone except devoted tablet users. A colleague crowed about using Windows 8 and not seeing Metro for hours — would Microsoft really consider that a plus?
Compare this behavior with that of another operating system: Ubuntu. Canonical, the company behind the popular Linux distribution, took a lot of heat last year when it moved Ubuntu full-time to its own Unity interface, which was developed with the goal of helping Ubuntu better cater to the emerging tablet market. Yes, it added a new (side-mounted) program launcher filled with big icons and a dash for searching through your programs and files. But the underlying functionality remained the same, and you still had (and have) the option of using it the old-fashioned way, and you don't have to change your workflow to do it. In other words, it expanded into a new market without shutting out the previous one — exactly what Microsoft hasn't done.
Of course, the Redmond-based company is in a much different position, with a dazzlingly large market share, and thus has good reasons for thinking it can get away with this and telling everyone how they'll use their computers at home and work. Microsoft may be right, but my time with Windows 8 has made it seem so simplistic that I can't envision why any company would want it on any non-tablet computers (and I've never worked at, or even seen, a business that operated entirely off of tablets). And I see even advanced home users rebelling against using one program per screen, something PC owners haven't had to endure since DOS went the way of the dodo.
If Microsoft has demonstrated a more hubristic attitude when releasing a product, I can't recall it. And I'm not sure such cockiness is safe this time around. Windows 8 is poised to alienate millions of people who have been devoted Microsoft users, or even (in my case) fans, for as long as the company has been around — all in a play to wrest a nascent product market from the Cupertino-based firm that now dominates it. It's a gutsy move, and I appreciate that — but the company's willingness to junk nearly 30 years of work, and the customer trust it's generated during that time, does not thrill me.
There's still time for Microsoft to change its mind. Not everything about Windows 8 is bad. I like, uh, the reduced boot times — my hard drive–based test computer dropped to 48 seconds from 55 after upgrading. And one little option to let me specify whether I want to boot into Metro or the desktop, preferably located near the top of the byzantine Settings menu, would instantly inspire me to give the whole thing a long second look. I'd love to see more truly useful features, but I'll keep my demands light for the moment. Once the biggest "fixes" are undone, we can discuss the rest.
One warning, Microsoft: If you don't, you'll permanently lose this defender. You're halfway there already. I'm too die-hard a DIYer to ever love Macs, but the folks at Canonical have shown that, even while favoring Unity, they want longtime desktop users to feel at home with their product. I have to say, I've been getting might cozy with it — whether on desktops or tablets. And it's free. If you don't prove with Windows 8, as you have with so many of your previous products, that this one is worth paying for, I'll drop you faster than you dropped the desktop.
I'm giving you the chance you refuse to give me. Please don't blow it.

WILLIAMSON — A new program is working to encourage healthier lifestyles in Mingo County, thanks to a grant from the Center for Disease Control.
Change the Future West Virginia (CTFWV) is a statewide project funded by a five year grant from the Center for Disease Control. The program's goal is to create healthier communities by making healthy living easier and more affordable where people work, live, learn and play.
Heather Sammons is the Coordinator for CTFWV in Mingo County. She spoke about the program at a meeting in Williamson held by the STOP Coalition.
"We want to make it easier to live a healthier lifestyle in West Virginia," Sammons said."We are doing that through three initiatives - tobacco prevention and cessation, healthy living and healthy lifestyles and chronic disease prevention."
Helping to people in Mingo County maintain a healthy weight is one goal of CTFWV. Overweight and obesity rates in the state are at an all-time high. Data indicates the rate of overweight among adults was 38 percent while the rate of obesity was 30 percent. Compared to other states, West Virginia's adults ranked as the 13th highest for overweight and the fifth highest for obesity. One way to fight obesity is to make fresh fruits and vegetables available.
"We are working with grocery and convenience stores, farmer's markets to help provide Electronic Benefit Transfer machines at the farmer's markets so low income families can purchase fresh fruits and vegetables," Sammons said.
Another aspect of the initiative for a healthy lifestyle is called healthy checkouts.
"Healthy checkouts means taking the junk food, inactive toys, soda and sugary drinks, artificially sweetened things out of the end of the aisles," Sammons explained. She said the candies and toys usually found near checkouts in stores are replaced with fruit and healthy snacks such as milk and cheese. Examples of active toys such as jump ropes and hula hoops encourage physical activity for children.
Sammons said CTFWV is working to help convenience stores carry a greater variety of food items.
"In some areas, there may not be a grocery store nearby," she said. "It may be someone running to a convenience store to pick up a few things for dinner. If we can get some fresh produce into that convenience store, they can pick up something of nutritive value in that meal."
Networking and education is also a major component of CTFWV, especially when helping people manage chronic disease.
"We are working with local coalitions and community groups, bringing them together to develop a community-based healthcare system so that when people are diagnosed with chronic diseases, they will have a network in place to find the treatment they need," Sammons said. "We can help someone find an exercise group if they need to lose weight or a smoking cessation class or diabetes management. We are recruiting community health education resource people who will receive training from the West Virginia University School of Osteopathic Medicine, diabetes and chronic disease self-management training."
For more information about CTFWV, visit changethefuturewv.org or call the regional office at the Cabell-Huntington Health Department at 304 523-6483.

Tonight they whip up something that can be sold at L*rd & Taylor. I'll be watching to see if Ven wakes up on the sidewalk in Bryant Park, shunned from the apt. after last week's performance... | |||
ha ha ha thankfully I am not competing with tv viewing of the NE Pats tonight...I hope. | ||||
Can't wait!! | ||||
oy vey! Oh Ven!!! "It's bad to supress laughter. It goes back down and spreads to your hips." | ||||
Can't wait! Please leave a comment on one of my blogs....go to http://shogunsworld.blogspot.com/ or http://rememberingmadison.blogspot.com/ | ||||
Lol! You mean Ven who has "never had to design for a real woman before" and besides, "it's not fair that other designers were lucky and got easy models"!! A little arrogant? I hope he grows up soon and gets some sensitivity & compassion training! Jmo pat | ||||
poor baby. not fair. "It's bad to supress laughter. It goes back down and spreads to your hips." | ||||
Well tonight sure was interesting... Lots of pretty dresses... I would have chosen a different winner... but most weeks I am not in agreement... I just like being that way... lol www.pigtalesandquilts.com www.crazyquiltingsupplies.com Crazy Quilting is addictive so we just have to STITCH IT OUT LOUD! | ||||
I also would have chosen a different winner. It was a good challenge-there was only one dress that I didn't care for and the judges had it in the top four. | ||||
Oh my goodness!!! I'm teary!!!! "It's bad to supress laughter. It goes back down and spreads to your hips." | ||||
I had two other dresses I liked MUCH better. I'll just describe them til everyone sees the episode. The versatile black dress with the assymetrical hem and the gray dress with all the inset front pleats (darts). Both of those were classy dresses and the winner had a limited appeal. JMHO | ||||
OK, I'm puzzled. (not unusual for me!) The girl who had the meltdown, don't remember her name. (also not unusual for me!)She was the one making her dress out of brownish brocade with the square cut neck line. She scrapped her original dress and started over right? They showed her dahing from the sewing room and someone saying "here's your bodice". Then they showed her holding a bodice top in her hand. Yet, when her dress went down the runway, it had a single panel down the front with no waistline. So what happened? Did she go back to the original design and tweak it? Because the dress the model was wearing was not the second dress she was sewing. Such drama! | ||||
good show, one of the best so far this year, from the clips for next week are they begging for money to buy fabric? | ||||
That was a really good episode! I'll be talking about specific designs & events, so stop reading here if you don't want to know. First of all, NO mention of last week's VenGate? Like it never happened, or like none of the designers had anything more to say about it? Some fancy editing, PR producers! Maybe they figured enough damage had been done. (And it was...there was a lot of fallout online & on TV, and some say Ven's career will always carry that mark.) Anyway, yea - L&T's lovely store and a nice, "normal" challenge this week. Apparently, the more you cry & get yourself worked into a dither, the better your work will be. I'll have to remember that when I'm sewing! Alicia -- the black sleeveless with the dropped waist & the high collar. I didn't like it. Dropped waists remind me of Laura Ashley dresses from the 80's. The addition of that collar (shiny fabric?) was confusing. I know she was trying to inject her "aesthetic" (love it when they use that word), but I didn't think it worked. Christopher -- saw him sewing the lines on the bodice & thought here we go -- another chenille quilt from Christopher! Kudos to him for noticing the collection could stand a long dress, but really...how will the "real" L&T customer clean that, without it turning into $300 worth of frayed silk threads? That fabric technique is impractical for anything but a chenille quilt! Dmitry -- loved the jagged neckline but the rest of the dress was blah. And I didn't like the fabric choice. Elena -- UGH! Unflattering shape, can't wear even a bandeau bra under it, and how many different shades & panels of fabric did she have going on there? She should have been auf'ed, but the judges loved it and that left me wondering. Would you buy that dress if you saw it on display with the 9 other classy looks @ L&T?? Fabio -- that black dress should have won. It should have had an invisible zipper, but it should have won. It looked very L&T. Gunnar -- not a bad shape, but he went overboard with the lace & sequins. When they put him in the bottom 2, I started to smell a rat. I didn't think they'd get rid of him simply because they'd "seen it before." And when they sent Alicia to safety, I REALLY smelled a rat! As in, "2 designers quit a few weeks ago, so we have to do something drastic" kind of rat... Melissa -- the top defied gravity, and her model was sliding out the side of it, if you know what I mean. The taper on the hem was too long. Didn't she stay with her original fabric choice after all? (There is a horizontal bodice seam, if you look at the close-ups online.) Sonjia -- boy, they really let her have a slide, with that tight squeeze & that peplum. I thought she'd be bottom 3...but now I see that there never was going to be a bottom 3 for this episode. Ven -- oh Ven! That "rose" looked like a giant boil on the model's chest, ready to pop! It just didn't work this time. Too tight of a space for it and too much folded fabric. It stood up like a pyramid! He should have gone with his other monkey trick, the fabric pleats. So I would have sent Alicia to clean up her space & sent Fabio to L&T's window. And I would have clicked 2 of Heidi's dresses together & sent her back to Kansas and Auntie Em!!!!! She's lucky a house didn't fall on her. Next week's preview reminded me of that "Clothes Off Your Back" episode, where they had to beg for people's clothes to work with. | ||||
I agree, Fabio should have won. I did like Gunnar's dress, and did not like Elena's dress. I would never buy that one, or even attempt to wear it. If they didn't send Elena home, I'm glad they didn't send anyone home. I actually like the dress that Ven made, but liked Fabio's better. I personally don't care for the zipper being shown like it sewn on the outside of the dress, but the rest of the dress looked great. | ||||
I thought the models were unusually beautiful this time and every one had really pretty hair and makeup. Gosh with the lovely clothes this may turn a trend for pretty!!!!! Wow...what a concept!!! "It's bad to supress laughter. It goes back down and spreads to your hips." | ||||

An interesting discussion on librarything (http://www.librarything.com/talktopic.php?topic=21167) on the question if writers would rather prefer being paid or being read. It turns out that it's all about "I love it when people read my work" and "I don't want someone else making money from my writing while I don't", acknowledging that it is nice to get paid (even if it only "puts me roughly at the same wage level as a banana picker in Guatemala") and that "publishers have a wider range of readers than most individuals".
What do you think?

SBA Tower Deal Twists Wireless M&A in 2012
NEW YORK(TheStreet) -- Cell tower operators have quietly reignited a grab for assets with the announcement Tuesday that SBA Communications(SBAC) would 2,300 cell tower sites in the U.S. and Central America from Mobilitie for $1.09 billion.
Wireless airwaves were rattled when a proposed $39 billion merger between AT&T(T) and T-Mobile USA was scuttled by antitrust regulators last year, but Tuesday's announcement coupled with a Dec. 16 deal by Crown Castle(CCI) to buy antenna systems from NextG Networks for $1 billion signal that tower operators are on the move as wireless carriers look at M&A as a way to gear for increasing smartphone data loads.
Tuesday, SBA Communications said it will buy tower assets, in addition to indoor and outdoor distributed antenna system assets in cities like Chicago, New York and Las Vegas from Mobilitie for over $1 billion.
Now industry titans like Crown Castle and American Tower may set their gaze on over $2 billion of tower assets that T-Mobile may look to sell as a way to fund its wireless network, while considering a range of deal options, according to industry analysts.
After AT&T's merger with T-Mobile to pick up wireless spectrum was scuttled in December, the knock-on effects are taking shape in a tower land grab between Crown Castle International(CCI) , American Tower(AMT) and SBA Communications(SBAC) . Watch for ripple effects in the M&A fight to now have a big significance on the next move for T-Mobile USA's parent Deutsche Telekom, as it looks to raise capital for its U.S. operations, which are the fourth largest overall to Verizon(VZ) , AT&T and Sprint(S) .

What usually constitutes an emergancy is this: they cannot hold their product without losing it and it's after business hours at the store.
Residentail customers dont know what an emergency is. So you have to introduce them to the higgher service charge when they insist on coming after five PM.
Commercial accounts will only use you when they have either an issue of convenience or truly have an emergency.
But most times they call, it is their fault for not planning ahead.
But I would still go anyway cause they are the one;'s who pay the bills. The employer only writes the checks.
The customer pays the bills! ALL OF THEM!!!
Do I like rolling on a call at eleven PM when they really dont need service but merly want to be prepared for tomorrow's delivery? HECK NO!!!
But I get paid to go. And stiing home after turning down that call, is grounds for being fired in some people's book.
I work for the paycheck. Not for the thrill of the tasks.
So if a service man wants to keep his job, be best get used to rolling out whenever the customer says "jump"!
Providing they are willing to pay the fee's.

i gott agree most residential customers don't know what an emergency is. water leaks and gas leaks can usually be turned off. i understand in refrigeration service you gotta be ready 24/7. when there is 50k worth of produce on the line it needs up now. residential isnt that demanding and i have a theory that more talented technicians are migrating towards the companies that don't run 24/7 therefore there is better quality of service being offered by those companies providing you don't need service at 2 am. all just a theory though. I've done commercial and residential to cover three companies and the cutoff was 10, 10, and 8pm respectively. i just never found anything compelling enough to work for a company that runs 24/7 and can't figure out out why anyone would if they had the choice.

I work for a contractor, not for my self, and we have 24 hour 7 day a week 365 days a year on call. We are a large company and we rotat on call, one week a time, each guy has two weeks a year. I em fine with this because if you do not take care of your customers someone else will.Granted we are a commercial contractor that does refrigeration work. But we also get no heat and no cooling calls in the midel of the night. We only get time and ahalf for after hour calls, but we get profit sharing once a year. We use an answering service to take custmer call after 5:00 PM until 8o AM and weekends. We have company cell phones and they call us on the phone when a call comes in.We call the customer and let them know that it is time and a half and the time starts when I leave my house until I get home. The company policey is if the customer will pay we go.We are very cusomer driven, we do no advertising, no yellow pages, and we are very busy, we rely on word of mouth,and the companys long time history.If the customer is willing we will try to talk them through the problem, sometimes it works. I hope this helps.

unfortunatly, we all chose our professions and our jobs are here for serving the customers. this is a customer service job and we should respond to the calls when they come in , day or night. I personally hate being on call but I do run the calls....

dave you must be a liberal you gave your opininion without giving details to the question posed. I appreciate some of the replies but it hasn't helped me much. I work in north virginia and last year i made over $75,000 yet can in no way afford a home that is not a severe fixer upper and even then its borderline and even those are hard to find. I currently drive on average over an hour and a half each way to my first call and from my last call and some days almost 3 hours and i won't discuss if there is a wreck on the beltway. My dilemma is i work for a good company have a good boss and i'm in a supervisor position myself. I'm only oncall every 7 weeks and its not 24 hour service. Now i'd like to move south where single family housing is more realistic with what i'd likely make but am nervous about the 24 hour service dilemma. My current company takes any call that comes in and we do not charge overtime ever and there is never a time that when the faxlist gets checked at 8am there are always a list of people that called in for something at 1am 3am 5am and so on. I'd never get a wink of sleep if i gotta be up all through the night screening calls.
I hope this give you guys more to go on and i get more replies. my target location as of right now is raleigh nc with consideration going to orlando fl. I use to live in raleigh and i have friends in orlando.

It's the companies that run 24/7 that is the problem. Why should a tech have to leave his bed to go clean a coil or change a filter. If it is not done by 11 pm it can wait for the next morning. Except now companies worry that the guy down the street will take the call and loose revenue.
Kinda pisses me off when I'm doing routine maintance on equipment when my family is home asleep.
Last Saturday night I went 20 miles to look at a furnace. Blower was caked. Rug for a filter. And yes a cracked heat exchanger. My company was selected because we had the cheapest OT rates. (almost none exsistant).
Left the furnace disabled, called the land lord, left a generous proposal, and picked up a check from the renter. We didn't get the replacement. Even though we went out late Saturday night. Simular story earlier this year. Didn't get that job either. And we lost money on the call. Well at least I got paid.
Then you get the *******s that don't want to take time off from work. Last time I checked there no heat wasn't my problem. "Can you come a 4 o'clock?"

I deal with alot of Very large server rooms and Drug Manufactors When they call you gots to go 24/7 365 days a year I'm on call every eight weeks it's not bad, other calls I try to put off till the next day I had a couple calls where I fixed the problem over the phone it went something like this: "Sir your stat needs to be in the auto position not the off position" Got to love them calls but they are few and far. Bottom line 24/7 service means 24/7!!

Here it varies, the smaller shops that are hungry will be at the customers beck and call for cheap, but the established companies charge time and a 1/2 for the hours between 6 and 9 and double time from 9 to 11 with an hour give and take for different shops. After that the answering service takes the calls till 8 am. If there is a prior contract for 24/7 then they have paid dearly and the tech gets double time if they are the 2 o clock sucker. But for residential, the only emergency is a care facility like a adult foster home or a developmentally delayed group home and it has to be freezing outside literally and the answering service has a criteria checklist on the computer to verify emergency status before they place the call to the tech. If it is a commercial contract, it also has to be loss of product to warrant a midnight call. Same thing it is disclosed up front before the service tech ever gets woke up by the answering service that it is "x" amount of dollars if the service guy comes. But here it is sometimes just time and a 1/2 to be on call and the shop gets the rest of the profit. Just be aware of the variances and interview your prospective employer as to the expectations. It is not called an employee interrogation, it is an interview, two sided discussion of the expectations of both parties. Take a pen and paper and ask questions, a good employer sees that as being thorough, smart and ready, a bad employer sees it as being picky and paranoid.

Work for a commercial refrig/heat cool/ company
We only go out for real emergencies.......walk-in down, ice machine, or kitchen exhaust (fire alarm)
get 4 hours OT pay plus 1 1/2 pay from time leaving home to getting back home. dbl time on holidays.
We have a maintenance contract with 95% of cust. so it is rare to go out for something stupid other than the occasional belt.
On call once every 5 weeks until summer then we double up and have a back up person in case first called ends up getting slammed with more calls.
We also charge for round trip mileage. Round trip travel or picking up and returning with parts is all billed by our hourly rate.
For cust. 1 1/2 after 4:30 during week and 1 1/2 on weekends. dbl time on holidays
its double bubble if i get home from work and then are called out. the phone is switched to phone the tech directly whom is on call. we do not go out for non contract customers period unless the boss autheroises the call. I explain the charges to the customer and then I go
we do commercial hvac so mostly its server rooms or 24hr care homes or the odd residental tower that calls
www.vetopropac.com - The best tool bags on the market - The offical tool bag of choice by techs everywhere
Arguing with some people is like wrestling a pig - eventually you realise the pig actually enjoys it
Gonads serve a useful purpose but are no substitute for brains
After 1 am if they want to pay triple I go myself lol. But if a tech went on the call I would pay him triple you betcha.
Right on....should be standard in the industry.

I like your reasoning troyorr. Now if it could only work like that in the "real world"!! My approach: Just how em-urgent is it?? Willingness to pay OT rates(COD) equates to severity of need. ALWAYS!! It is amazing how many calls magicall evaporate after hours.

Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec. Momentané
26 April–1 September 2013
The Arts Décoratifs Nave will be showcasing all facets of the work of Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec. Conceived like a retrospective, the exhibition will retrace every stage of their international career, including their very latest creations.
The scenography they have designed for this 1,000 square-metre exhibition will highlight their innovative research into the partitioning of space. Great admirers of Charlotte Perriand, like her they are intensely interested in modularity, a concern they have explored in creations such as the Lit Clos sleeping cabin, the Alcove Sofa (Vitra), and lightweight screens built by assembling basic elements: the Cloud shelf-partition modules (Cappelini), and the Algues (Vitra) and North Tiles (Kvadrat) modular partitions.
Beneath an enormous textile vault, their presentation of all these pieces created over the past fifteen years has been adapted to structure this extraordinary space in the Arts Décoratifs Nave.

Pub mania, ils collectionnent la publicité
23 May–6 October 2013
Who has never kept a beautiful biscuit tin, or a publicity fan, jug or ashtray? Since the late 19th century, advertising has generated a host of easily collectable objects and is still using them as a sales tool, including in the form of collector editions. These usually mundane objects (fans, cigarette lighters, chromos, etc.) are amassed into amusing, surprising, heterogeneous collections often restricted to a brand (Meunier, Perrier, Kub, etc.), an event (The World Cup, etc.) or theme, or linked to a specific use or sales target (children, etc.). In France, one is a copocléphile if one collects key rings, a boxoferophile if one collects tin boxes, or a Yabonophile if one is interested solely in Banania products… The collector has the joy of the rare find and the pleasures of accumulating, exchanging and specialising. The passionate collector often obsessively amasses, identifies, selects and classifies.
This exhibition draws on Les Arts Décoratifs' extensive advertising collection to explore this phenomenon and the psychology of collectors – who in the end are not that different from traditional art collectors…

Winshluss. Un monde merveilleux
17 April–10 November 2013
Winshluss is one of the major independent comic book authors in the French-speaking world. He published his first pages in the fanzine Les aventures de Miguel in 1995 and has contributed numerous collective publications, including the magazine Ferraille. In 2007, he adapted and co-directed the animated feature film Persopolis with Marjane Satrapi, and in 2009 he received the Best Album award at the Festival International de la Bande Dessinée d'Angoulême for his version of Pinocchio. The Toy Gallery invited Winshluss to use toys and advertising objects in the Arts Décoratifs collections to recreate his childhood memories in dioramas. The Toy Gallery's display cases will host nine of these "wonderful worlds": a "creationist" Noah's Ark, an attack in a city, a scary world of dolls, a universe of mechanical toys, heroes as toys, masks, publicity toys, in short all the toys that Winshluss always wanted but never had and, of course, the "Ferraille" funfair.

Emprunter pour inventer, Philippe Barde revisite Paul Bonifas
21 March–18 August 2013
The museum's contemporary gallery is featuring the work of Philippe Barde (born 1955), one of the major Swiss ceramicists of his generation. This project focuses on the last three years of his rich creative itinerary, devoted to his free interpretation of the modernist work of one of the great Swiss potters in the 1930s, Paul Bonifas (1893–1967).
For Philippe Barde, the possibility of working in and from Bonifas's original moulds, in the Musée Ariana in Geneva, was the departure point for a reflection on filiation in art. It was also an opportunity to question tradition – its respect and transgression – and explore the question of the contemporaneity and personality of an artwork when it takes history as its pretext.

Trompe-l'œil. Imitations, pastiches et autres illusions
2 Feburary 2012–5 January 2014
In the Musée des Arts Décoratifs' Study Gallery the public can discover the wealth of its collections via selections of rarely or never previously shown works from its storerooms, shown for an 18-month period. Trompe-l'oeil, as its name indicates, is meant to trick the eye, and originated in painting, in which the illusion created by a painted object relies heavily on perspective and chiaroscuro.
In decorative art, this 'trickery of the eye' took very diverse forms. Wallpapers, for instance, proved ideal for this form of expression. From the most modest to the most sumptuous, they all imitate materials: wood, lacquer, tiles, straw, velvet, and even framed pictures. Many imitations were of course done for economic reasons, and in this game of substitutes, one sees that for centuries many materials have been imitated by others: marbled ceramics imitating jasper, glazed ceramics imitating porphyry or gold, paste imitating the diamond, linoleum floorboards, and so on. This game of illusions evolved in the 19th century, when, historicism oblige, it was not only materials that were imitated but motifs too. Owen Jones' famous The Grammar of Ornament, like its French equivalent, Albert Racinet's l'Ornement polychrome, provided numerous medieval and Moorish motifs for 19th-century creators.
Fashion was no exception and became the theatre of the most outrageous illusions. In the 18th and 19th centuries, wigs, tournures and faux-cul were worn to give false impressions. In the 20th century, illusion focussed less on form than on the fabric itself, with the appearance of false wears and tears, false pockets, false buttons, etc. Like a treasure hunt traversing centuries and materials, this exhibition invites us into the great game of illusion or the 'vertigo of imitation'.

Following my February posting about the change of pace with regard to American culinary offerings in the Capital, breaking news on Wendy-Lyn's 'The Paris Kitchen' caught my eye this morning. Who would have ever imagined that Ralph Lauren, Danny Meyer & Michel Romano would loose beauty sleep to open a state of the art Bugerria at the very heart of Paris's most chic quartier on the Boulevard Saint Germain ? Well, if Wendy (& Alexander Lobrano) are to be believed, it has happened & the photographic evidence provided is pretty convincing. I am left with the vision of various members of the Chambre des Deputés being caught on UTube, defending a misplaced notion of 'Savoir Vivre à la Française' – Bun in hand.
Clearly not simply a desire to sell another pair of slacks, this news is altogether heartening, highlighting that the change from 'without' that is very much part of the change from 'within'. Add to this most recent cocktail of Magnificent Mousquetaires, the almost unnoticed disappearence of the ledgendary 'Chez Pauline' in the Rue Viledo, Paris 1er – now an up market Japanese Udonaria – include the observant Michael Steinberger's book, "Au Revoir to All That", the busy man at Spring, Daniel Rose – at last poised to launch a further salvo with the much awaited opening of his apropriately named 'Spring' – & even ignoring the "Blogettes Parisiennes" generously served 'Plats du Jour', one can not escape this new reality.
Obama said it. We have it. 'Change' est ici.

The roper boot was first introduced in the 1950s as an alternative to tennis shoes for the everyday cowboy or girl. In keeping with cowboy attire, the roper boot was designed with a low-heel, shorter boot shaft, and rounded toe. Also significant was the lacing detail, which was necessary so the boot didn't fall off the rider. True to the original roper style, the Erin is handcrafted with sturdy materials and has an attractive casual-western silhouette

A very informative surfin website wrote:Goofy Foot? Put your best foot forward—find out whether you are regular or goofy-footed! Try sliding across a smooth floor with socks on. If you lead with your left foot, you're "regular," and the left foot goes near the front of the board when you're surfing. If your right foot goes first, you're "goofy," and the right foot goes up front!

Simulators can produce all sorts of numbers, but the numbers themselves aren't terribly meaningful until they are put into context by visualization techniques. For example, the coordinates of the various atoms in a molecule don't readily convey the shape of the molecule, but once those coordinates are loaded into VMD, the the resulting picture conveys not only the shape of the molecule, but other important properties as well.

Upward Bound Students
Participate in
Inspiration Day
Kent State University's Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and its Upward Bound Programs participated in Inspiration Day on Saturday, Nov. 3. Planned by Kent State's Intercollegiate Athletics Department, Inspiration Day included events and activities for Upward Bound students and their families at numerous buildings across campus.
"The Upward Bound Programs of Kent State University assist high school students in developing the academic skills and motivation needed to successfully complete high school and to enter college upon graduation," said Bonnie Richardson, Kent State's program director of Upward Bound Classic and PREP Academy.
In the programs, students receive educational, cultural and social experiences to help them prepare and succeed in their future college careers.
Upward Bound high school students and their families came to Kent State for various Inspiration Day activities, including post-secondary, dual enrollment options and college partner's presentations. Students also were treated to lunch and activities at the Kent State Field House and later helped form a tunnel as the Kent State Golden Flashes football team took to the field at Dix Stadium for the game against the University of Akron.
"It's wonderful to have our students engaging with academics as well as socially enjoying the Inspiration Day event," Richardson said.
Students engaged in activities designed by Upward Bound campus partners, including the College of Business Administration (CLASSIC Upward Bound Students), the College of Public Health (Upward Bound Public Health Students), as well as the College of Architecture and Environmental Design and the Department of Biology (Upward Bound Math/Science Bio-Scholars).

4dr Wgn Man Sport
Starting at $19,625 | Starting at 21 MPG City - 28 MPG Highway
Provided by NADAguides.com
Receiving its first massive makeover since the Mazda5's introduction in 2006, Sport, Touring and Grand Touring trim levels showcase the 6-passenger 2012 Mazda5. While the Mazda5 Sport is the base model, a sizable standard convenience listing features air conditioning and 6-speaker MP3-capable stereo system. With few options available on trim levels, upgraded features will be presented standard in the 2012 Mazda5 Touring or Grand Touring. Bluetooth becomes standard on the Touring model while leather seating and HID headlamps are only appearing on the Mazda5 Grand Touring. Replacing the 2.3 liter engine with a larger, more potent 2.5 liter inline-4 worth 167 horsepower, front-wheel drive power is routed through either a brand new 6-speed manual or 5-speed automatic gearbox. The engine paired with either transmission produces fuel economy of 21 miles city or 28 miles highway per single gallon of gasoline. Rightfully for a family-based vehicle, all 2012 Mazda5 are loaded with standard safety features including stability control with traction control as well as front, side and curtain air bags.
The MAZDA5's sliding side doors might lead some to dismiss it as a minivan, but they shouldn't; there's nothing else on the market quite like this unique vehicle, which combines some of the attributes of a minivan (but smaller) and a crossover utility vehicle (but lower). The MAZDA5 has excellent passenger design: It takes up about the same parking footprint as a compact sedan, but it has comfortable seating for six. Mazda says that even with all six seats up in place, there's enough cargo space for a standard baby stroller. Also, the sliding doors are easy to operate and are easier to manage when in tight parking spaces. Furthermore, this model is already known for its entertaining driving character, and with a little more power and steering and suspension tuned even more for handling, the MAZDA5 is one family choice for those who like the twisties.
The MAZDA5 is all new for 2012, with a resculpted, dynamic look on the outside, better interior detailing and a slightly larger, more powerful engine--without affecting fuel economy. And with the stylish new look inside and out, around the idea of 'seductive smartness,' it doesn't give up any interior space or functionality.
The new MAZDA5 will be offered in three different trim levels: base Sport, mid-level Touring, and top-grade Grand Touring. No matter the model, it comes with a 157-horsepower, 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine and either a 6-speed manual gearbox (Sport only) or 5-speed automatic transmission.

Remodel to deliver first section of waterfront boardwalk
December 4, 2012 · Updated 2:25 PM
By Steve Wehrly, Journal reporter
The first section of the long-talked-about boardwalk, from the Port to Cannery Landing, won Town Council approval at its Nov. 15 meeting.
Roger Bennett, owner (since 1980) of the building at 1 Spring Street that houses an ice-cream shop, The Place restaurant, and a whale-watching business, applied in May for a shoreline development permit to build the boardwalk on the water side of his property, and also to improve the deck on the ferry dock side.
"I appreciate getting the permits, but they cost me over $2,000 and took seven months," said Bennett, who expects to start construction sometime early next year.
He's not happy that it took seven months to get the permit because he wanted to open the deck for lunch and light foods during tourist season, and he had to forego a small expansion of his building. Bennett prepared the paperwork for the permit and shepherded the project through the permitting process.
The project is fairly extensive. In addition to the boardwalk, Bennett will put stairs on the Spring Street side of the building, an awning over the ice cream shop ("so the ice-cream won't melt"), a covered porch, with sunroom and a small building with a kitchen on the deck, replacement of waterside pilings and a small boat lift under the building.
Bennett hopes to begin work early next year, but does not expect all parts of the project to be done "for several years" — partly because he will be doing some of the work himself.
The total cost of the project will be about $30,000, according to papers filed with the town.
Marilyn O'Conner, director of the Port of Friday Harbor, said that the 1 Spring Street project fits in with the port's long-term plans for the waterfront.
"Roger's waterfront boardwalk is a subject we've talked about off and on over the years," O'Connor said. "The port commission has had a long-standing interest in a waterfront walkway, to improve and formalize the public's easy access to the shoreline."
The port will begin public discussions about their intentions for the waterfront next year.
The building, constructed in the 1870's, over the course of its lifetime has been a warehouse, the town hall and jail, and Friday Harbor headquarters for the U.S. Coast Guard.
Roger Bennett clearly expects it will have several more lives before he's finished with it.

Mocktail, Momtail.. Whatever It Is, I Never Want To See It Again.

OMG, you're making me salivate. I have CRAVED some Coca Cola through my pregnancy too! Also wine, but I'm trying not to turn my kid into an alchi at such a young age. Anyway, Coke. Loves Loves Loves.

I know the feeling! I traveled a lot for work during my pregnancy and there would be very expensive bottles of wine ordered while I sat there with a similar concoction. :( I did ginger ale and cranberry a lot and ginger ale with pomegranate juice. That was my favorite!

I am a soda water with lime girl these days....and let me tell you, it only took 1 wedding reception for me to be completely over it. I still drink it, but wow - do i look forward to some good wine in 2011. I have a lonnnng way to go!

I had to comment on this - I have two bottles of Opus One from my college graduation (can't remember the year.. of the wine, that is) - sitting in my parents' wine cellar, begging to be opened.. I cannot decide when to open them! Children are waaaay in my future - but I don't think I can wait til then for mine! (just have to hope my parents don't bust them open without me knowing.. heads will roll!)
Fingers crossed for a birthday for Baby Boy super-soon!

Girl- I feel ya. My bro in law is getting married next weekend and the theme is sangria.. in many diff flavors.... which is pretty much my fav drink.

- Sue B said...
I actually do fruit juice and selzer water. Pinapple or orange juice work well. I would mix it up these last few weeks to make it more interesting. I try to do as much water as possible, but some days I just need some flavor! I am also a Coke classic junkie. I let myself have 1 a day.

I miss wine too...and it's only been three months. Well, technically before I knew I was pregnant...we went wine tasting. My baby was screwed from its first week of life....
I'm currently into 7-up and grape juice...but I'm sure those will fade...as my lemonade obsession lasted a total of 2 days.
But you're so close!!! - July 20, 2010 at 12:41 PM
- Erin said...
Hahaha. My drink of choice has been a virgin mojito. Yeah. I've gotten a raised eyebrow from about 6 bartenders. They're like, "You KNOW that's just soda, mint, syrup and lime, right?" And I was all like, "Do you SEE this BELLY?"
With an active imagination, it gets the job done...but it helps to have a few sips of Hubby's red when no one's looking. Now that my babe is born I can't wait for a good cabernet and some sushi! - July 20, 2010 at 3:19 PM
- LG said...
I feel ya! I am SOOOOOO ready for some drinks. I bought those test strips for breast milk so that I can screen for alcohol! ha
9 months is a LONG time to be sober for shizzle - July 20, 2010 at 4:01 PM

I feel the same way about ginger ale...ugh..yuck..please let us know when you celebrate the birth of that baby boy and crack open your wine!!
- July 20, 2010 at 10:59 PM
- Katie said...
Ohhh if you are looking to switch things up, try coconut water (you can find it in a co-op or whole foods). VitaCoco is my favorite. It's super healthy for you and tastes really yummy. Definitely helps in the summer if you can't drink :)

Blouse Performs "Videotapes" at MFNW 2012
During the recent MusicFest NW in Portland, we put our heads together with friend and longtime MFNW producer Trevor Solomon to curate "Room 205 Live." After filming more than 30 episodes and 90 videos in a tiny 15×20-foot rehearsal space, we wanted to have a go at collaborating in front of a live audience. Held at venerable downtown venue Ted's, (formerly Berbati's Pan), the night showcased five of our favorite past collaborators from Room 205, including Blouse, Crystal Antlers, Craft Spells, Tropic of Cancer and Chelsea Wolfe.
Based in Portland, Oregon, Blouse is comprised of members Charlie Hilton, Patrick Adams, Jacob Portrait, and Paul Roper. Here we find them swooning elegantly through the standout track, "Videotapes," from the 2011 debut album, BLOUSE, on Captured Tracks. Wildly pitch-shifted and wonderfully out-of-whack, this song is near-perfect in almost every imaginable way. Enjoy.

High school girls basketball: Bob Beutel wins 600th game
Gilmour's Bob Beutel became the first boys or girls basketball coach in The News-Herald coverage area to win his 600th game on Monday night.
The Lancers defeated visiting Cleveland Central Catholic, 57-27, to improve to 18-2.
Prior to taking over at Gilmour in 2006, Beutel coached at North from 1981-2005. His overall record is 600-179. Only nine boys and six girls basketball coaches in Ohio are in the 600-win club.
"I am a spokesperson for hundreds and hundreds of people who made it all happen," Beutel said. "I've had a nice relationship through the years with all of my players and to have so many people come to celebrate with me in one night was special."
Gilmour athletic director Jeff Waldrich organized a gathering following the game. Numerous current and former players, coaches and parents joined in on the celebration.
"On my way out, someone asked me when 700 is going to happen so I guess that's what we are working toward now," Beutel said.
During Beutel's tenure, more than 40 athletes have earned college scholarships. Twelve former players have coached for him, including his wife of 16 years, Claudia Beutel.
