The new Lightwell Chronograph offers a modern and sustainable update to the iconic pilot chronographs of WWII.
Featuring a light-powered Seiko movement, scratch resistant sapphire crystal, and 10 ATM water resistant steel case, this mid-sized chronograph was designed for an active life under the sun and is perfect for measuring daily activities like workouts, cook durations, parking meters, and much more.
Technical Specifications
Case : Surgical grade 316L stainless steel
Movement : Japanese solar-quartz
Lens : Sapphire crystal + AR coating
Water Resistance : 10 ATM / 100 meters
Case width : 38.5mm
Lug to lug : 46mm
Case thickness : 11.5mm
Lug width : 20mm
Seiko VS75 Solar Movement
A discrete solar panel underneath the dial converts both natural and artificial light into electrical energy, so the watch is constantly charging– even indoors and in cloudy weather.
Two minutes of sunlight provides 24 hours of autonomous time-keeping power. Fully charged, the movement will operate for 6 months without light.
Unlike conventional quartz watches, this movement does not use a silver oxide battery and will therefore never require a battery replacement.
316L Stainless Steel Case
The case of the Lightwell Chronograph is a nod to the classic WWII-era pilot watch: a bold chamfered bezel atop a cylindrical center case with slab sides and tapered lugs that come to a smooth, flat end.
The case is made using surgical grade 316L stainless steel, chosen for its high strength and corrosion-resistance. Measuring 38.5mm wide, 11.5mm thick and 46mm from lug to lug, the case is compact, well-balanced, and ideal for everyday use.
100 Meter Water Resistance
We integrated a screwdown crown and caseback to achieve a 10 ATM water resistance rating. Capable of being submerged 100 meters underwater, the Lightwell Chronograph is tough enough to go surfing, fishing, or snorkelling in the deep end.
Sapphire Crystal & AR Coat
A thick, flat sapphire crystal protects the dial while offering low-maintenance durability. Incredibly scratch-resistant, Sapphire is rated nine out of ten on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond.
We applied several layers of anti-reflective coating to further improve clarity and light transmittance.
SuperLuminova BGW9
We applied several layers of SuperLuminova BGW9 onto the hands and along the hour track of the dial to provide legibility in low-light environments.
Engineer Bracelet
This this heavy-duty engineer bracelet is constructed from high-quality solid 316L stainless steel links and features a flip-lock safety clasp. Six removable links and 3 micro-adjustment positions ensure the perfect fit.

Regulus Therapeutics and Collaborators Publish New Pre-Clinical Data on microRNA-33 Demonstrating Key Role in Cholesterol Homeostasis and Fatty Acid Metabolism
LA JOLLA, Calif., Oct. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Regulus Therapeutics Inc., a biopharmaceutical company leading the discovery and development of innovative medicines targeting microRNAs, and collaborators at NYU Langone Medical Center and Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center today announced the publication of new pre-clinical research findings in the journal Nature (Rayner et al., Nature, October 20, 2011). The new data show the first demonstration of marked increases in high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), the 'good' cholesterol, and suppression of plasma triglyceride levels in non-human primates through inhibition of both microRNA-33a and microRNA-33b (miR-33a/b) with proprietary chemically modified anti-miR oligonucleotides. A webinar to discuss the new data will be hosted by Regulus and features Kathryn Moore, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center and Regulus scientists (11:00am EDT, October 26, 2011).
"In addition to atherosclerotic plaque regression and enhanced reverse cholesterol transport that we previously observed in rodents with our collaborators at NYU Langone Medical Center, anti-miR-33 treatment is now shown to increase HDL cholesterol and lower triglycerides in non-human primates," said Hubert C. Chen, M.D., Vice President of Translational Medicine at Regulus. "These combined data sets provide strong evidence that an anti-miR-33 therapeutic approach can offer multiple mechanisms to benefit patients with atherosclerosis. Anti-miR-33a/b is one of several microRNA therapeutic programs we are advancing toward clinical development."
Dr. Moore said, "The current study is the first to demonstrate in non-human primates that inhibition of miR-33a/b can both increase circulating levels of HDL-C and suppress plasma triglyceride levels. This study highlights the benefits of modulating miR-33a/b and their downstream metabolic pathways."
The Nature paper, "Inhibition of miR-33a/b in non-human primates raises plasma HDL cholesterol and reduces VLDL triglycerides," showed that systemic delivery of an anti-miR targeting both miR-33a and miR-33b in non-human primates increased hepatic miR-33 target gene expression and induced a sustained increase in plasma HDL-C over the 12-week study. In the study protocol, six animals per group received anti-miR-33 via subcutaneous injection at a clinically relevant dose of five mg/kg or a mismatch control. The anti-miR or control were formulated in saline, and administered twice weekly for the first two weeks, and then weekly for the remainder of the 12-week study. Results showed a maximal HDL-C increase of 50% after eight weeks that was sustained throughout the remainder of the study. Anti-miR-33a/b treatment in this model also increased the expression of miR-33 target genes involved in fatty acid oxidation resulting in suppressed triglyceride levels, a finding not previously observed in mice. The decrease in triglycerides was apparent after four weeks and reached a maximum reduction of 50%. This pre-clinical study was the first to demonstrate that inhibiting miR-33a/b has a profound and sustained effect on both circulating HDL-C and plasma triglyceride levels.
Ryan Temel, Ph.D., assistant professor at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, said, "anti-miR-33a/b has the potential to treat multiple aspects of metabolic syndrome which is a group of risk factors that increase the risk for coronary artery disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes."
Multiple studies have demonstrated that miR-33a/b strongly represses the cholesterol transporter ABCA1, resulting in decreased generation of HDL-C and reverse cholesterol transport (Rayner et al., J Clin Invest. 2011) as well as key enzymes involved in the oxidation of fatty acid resulting in the accumulation of triglycerides (Davalos et al., PNAS. 2011). These findings indicate that miR-33a and miR-33b are key regulators of cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism, and that an anti-miR-33 approach can directly impact atherosclerosis, as well as address important cardiovascular risk factors such as obesity, insulin resistance, and hypertriglyceridemia.
Regulus is developing microRNA therapeutic s targeting miR-33a/b. The company controls fundamental patent rights related to miR-33a/b, including the miR-33a/b sequence and complementary sequences covered in the Tuschl III patent series. Additional Regulus patent rights include compositions of matter for various chemically modified anti-miR-33a/b compounds and methods of use for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases with anti-miR-33a/b.
Webinar to be held on October 26, 2011
Dr. Moore and Regulus scientists, Drs. Neil Gibson, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer, Hubert Chen, M.D., and Christine Esau, Ph.D., Associate Director Metabolic Disease, will present the data published in Nature and discuss the data's implications in a webinar scheduled for 11:00am EDT on October 26, 2011. To participate in the webinar, register at http://www.videonewswire.com/event.asp?id=82015. Please connect to the webinar several minutes prior to the start time to ensure adequate time for any software download that may be necessary. Questions for the panelists may be submitted during the live event through the web portal. The webinar will be available for replay on the Regulus website at http://www.regulusrx.com.
About microRNA-33a/b
microRNA-33a and b (miR-33a/b), which differ by only two nucleotides, are intronic microRNAs located within the sterol response element binding protein genes SREBF2 and SREBF1, respectively, which code for transcription factors that regulate cholesterol homeostasis and fatty acid metabolism. Recent studies have shown that miR-33a/b regulates the cholesterol and fatty acid pathways in a negative feedback loop. miR-33a/b represses the cholesterol transporter ABCA1 in hepatocytes and macrophages resulting in decreased cellular cholesterol efflux to apoA1, a key step in the generation of HDL-C and reverse cholesterol transport. Inhibition of miR-33 in mice, which only have miR-33a, resulted in an increase in expression of ABCA1 protein and increase in cholesterol efflux resulting in a reduction of atherosclerotic plaques (Rayner et al., J Clin Invest. 2011). In addition, miR-33a/b suppresses key enzymes involved in the oxidation of fatty acids resulting in the accumulation of triglyceride. Inhibition of miR-33a/b increases fatty acid oxidation and insulin signaling (Davalos et al., PNAS. 2011). These studies suggest that an anti-miR33a/b oligonucleotide treatment may be a promising strategy to treat atherosclerosis.
About microRNAs
The discovery of microRNA in humans during the last decade is one of the most exciting scientific breakthroughs in recent history. microRNAs are small RNA molecules, typically 20 to 25 nucleotides in length, that do not encode proteins but instead regulate gene expression. More than 700 microRNAs have been identified in the human genome, and over one-third of all human genes are believed to be regulated by microRNAs. A single microRNA can regulate entire networks of genes. As such, these molecules are considered master regulators of the human genome. microRNAs have been shown to play an integral role in numerous biological processes, including the immune response, cell-cycle control, metabolism, viral replication, stem cell differentiation and human development. Most microRNAs are conserved across multiple species, indicating the evolutionary importance of these molecules as modulators of critical biological pathways. Indeed, microRNA expression, or function, has been shown to be significantly altered in many disease states, including cancer, heart failure and viral infections. Targeting microRNAs with anti-miRs, antisense oligonucleotide inhibitors of microRNAs, or miR-mimics, double-stranded oligonucleotides to replace microRNA function opens potential for a novel class of therapeutics and offers a unique approach to treating disease by modulating entire biological pathways.

text:
Socket Style: | Slot 1 |
Chipset: | i82440LX |
Cache: | N/A (On Chip) |
Form Factor: | AT (w/ AT & ATX PS Connectors) |
BUS Speeds: | 60 / 66 MHz |
Clock Multipliers: | 3.5x / 4.0x / 4.5x / 5.0x |
Voltages Supported: | 1.5v - 3.5v (Auto Detect) |
RAM Slots: | 3 168pin DIMM Slots (EDO/SDRAM) |
AGP/PCI/ISA Slots: | 1 AGP Slot 3 PCI Slots 3 ISA Slots (1 Shared / 3 Full Length) |
PCI EIDE Controller: | Super I/O 2 EIDE Channels 1 FDD Channel 2 Serial /1 EPP |
Let's dig right into this baby, controlled almost entirely by Dip Switches, unlike the common jumperless setups found on most Pentium II LX motherboards, the AI6NL does feature one very important jumper which allows you to switch between both supported power supplies, AT or ATX. Usually combination AT/ATX motherboards are oddly shaped, and conform to the AT specification over the ATX specification whenever possible. In spite of this the AI6NL's layout is quite spacious, the only time it can get annoying is if you have a mini-tower case, it isn't recommended to use anything smaller than a mid-tower AT case with the AI6NL, a Full Tower being the preferred environment. |
Having never seen a TMC manual before, the cover was impressive looking to the least, the contents on the other hand...put the competition to shame. If we call ABIT the reigning champ of making quality user's manuals, the TMC user's manual is as close as you can get to the ABIT manual without violating any copyright laws.
For an AT motherboard, TMC tried to bring all of the expansion features of an ATX motherboard to the AI6NL, however they were only partially successful in doing so, outfitting the board with 3 DIMM slots, 3 PCI, 1 AGP (between the 1st PCI and last ISA slot) and 3 ISA slots. One advantage to the extreme length of the AI6NL is the fact that all expansion slots can accept full sized cards. |
The motherboard itself appears to have been designed with quality and reliability in mind, making excellent use of about 22 mid sized capacitors, 4 average height voltage regulator heatsinks, and a beautiful layout, the AI6NL is a very user friendly motherboard. If this happens to be your first home built system, the AI6NL will ensure that your first experience was a pleasant one. In all tests, using both PCI and AGP video cards, the AI6NL never crashed once, with the system continuously humming and ticking away like the clock it beat consistently.
Configuring the AI6NL for testing was a breeze, the written documentation doesn't provide information to a few of the other possible combinations of the bus speed dip switches, however there doesn't seem to be any support for > 66MHz bus speeds with this motherboard. The AMI BIOS the AI6NL sports does an average job of making the setup process less of a chore, although users of the Award BIOS may find that they are missing the familiar configuration utility. The configurable options in the BIOS are pretty much standard for all LX motherboards, and the AI6NL could be run using the most aggressive BIOS timings without any problems at all regardless of what brand of SDRAM was used, mind you that some cheap generic modules won't be as solid as those that are manufactured with quality/reliability in mind.
Windows 95 booted without a problem, the installation of the Intel Bus Master IDE drivers went perfectly fine without a hitch, and Winstone was on its way to running its first test run. Overall, the performance of the TMC AI6NL can't be beat by any other AT Pentium II LX motherboard, and remains fairly competitive when you place it in the entire Slot-1 arena, taking a back seat to the AOpen AX6L which still stands strong as one of the best overall Pentium II motherboards out today.
There are a few problems with the TMC AI6NL, however it is a down right decent motherboard.
Pentium II 333 processors aren't detected properly by the BIOS that was shipped with the motherboard, the processor's cache was disabled, this can be corrected by a simple BIOS upgrade
No 75/83MHz bus speed support meaning the highest achievable clock speed is 333MHz
Manual CPU Configuration
Sometimes a list is better than a paragraph ;)
Auto-detects PnP Cards after HDD Detection
Allows user to manually set DMA Channels/IRQs to PnP cards or Legacy ISA cards
Use these settings for the TMC AI6NL, the test system didn't experience any problems at all with any BIOS Timings

Police try to avoid sending anti-social youths to prison because it increases the chances of them reoffending, an inquest into the deaths of a mother and her disabled daughter heard today.
Superintendent Steve Harrod, head of criminal justice at Leicestershire Police, was giving evidence at the hearing into the suicide of Fiona Pilkington, 38, who killed herself and and her disabled daughter two years ago. Ms Pilkington, 38, died after setting fire to her car while she and her daughter Francecca Hardwick, 18, were inside. An 11-year bullying campaign by local youths had made their lives intolerable. Months before, Ms Pilkington had written in her diary that she had given up trying to call the police for help, because they thought she was "overreacting".
Earlier this week it emerged that Ms Pilkington had called police 33 times to complain about the abuse but none of the gang members, including the main problem family about whom police were informed, were prosecuted.
Mr Harrod was then asked by a juror: "If a youth above the age of criminal responsibility commits a crime, why is the criminalising of juveniles a consideration? If they commit a crime do they not bring the criminalisation upon themselves?"
He replied: "From a police point of view, what we want to do with any criminals is to prevent reoffending. From my personal experience, if a juvenile goes in to detention, they are likely to mix with like-minded people during their time there and they are more likely to reoffend. I think for new police officers this is all part of their training and for older officers there is a transition. But once you recognise that if you go to charge, and then the offenders come out of prison, you see them in the cells again and again."
The badly burnt bodies of Ms Pilkington and her daughter, known as Frankie to her family, were discovered in October 2007 in the family's blue Austin Maestro at the side of the A47 near their home. For more than a decade the family had been subjected to daily torment from local youths – some as young as 10 – who routinely shouted abuse and hurled objects at their house. At one point Ms Pilkington's son Anthony, now 19, was threatened with an iron bar and locked in a shed at knifepoint. Earlier, the inquest was told social services were aware Ms Pilkington had been experiencing "suicidal thoughts".
I blogged this case two years ago, and the reality turns out to be just as heartbreaking as I thought. Frances Crook and the Prison Reform Trust - and the BBC, of course - are doing a cracking job.
UPDATE - more from the spectacularly useless Steve Harrod :
At the inquest into the pair's deaths yesterday, Superintendent Steve Harrod, head of criminal justice at Leicestershire Police, acknowledged that the criminal justice system was set up to avoid sending juveniles to prison. He said police officers were only allowed to issue warnings to young troublemakers unless their behaviour was judged to be serious.
"I'm not sure if people know but low-level anti-social behaviour is mainly the responsibility of the council"
UPDATE - more torture in the community. If this had happened sixty years ago it would have been front page news. That's two rape/torture convictions in Greater London in the last three weeks that the BBC have failed to report. Is a pattern developing ?
The boys, two aged 17 and the other 16, approached the 14 year old victim and took her to a flat in Bromley on October 24 last year. While there the girl was raped and her hair was set on fire. An investigation was launched by Lewisham police and officers obtained mobile telephone footage of the suspects tormenting the victim with a cigarette lighter. Detective Constable Darren Sonnar said: "This was a particularly harrowing case".

Baltic Forest Hiking - Abava valley
Abava River valley
Past the vineyards of the Abava valley
Renda – Sabile – Kandava – Jaunmoku pils: 70 km, 3 days
The Abava Valley is up to 2 km wide and about 30–40 metres deep, so hikers can enjoy beautiful landscapes. In Sabile, you can taste ciders and wines brewed in the vicinity and beyond.The territory of Pedvāle Art Park (less than 100 hectares) features meadows, shrubs, rolling slopes, deep valleys, springs, streams and a winding river. There, an artist residence is established, and exhibitions, concerts, shows are held. The symbol of the town of Kandava is the boulder bridge over the Abava. Natural meadows of the Abava Valley, particularly beautiful in the middle of summer, are sustained by livestock bred for living in the wild. In Pūre, chocolate works that offer tours and tasting are located.
Section 94. Renda – Sabile.
To the town of wine and cider – Sabile
The Forest Trail in Renda for a short distance circles along the rocky banks of the Īvande river and then leads to Kroju Road. At first you can see open landscapes, but later the trail continues through the forest. In some places there are views of the Abava valley. The natural landscapes are gradually changing, as the Forest Trail leaves the Pieventa plain of the Kursa Lowland and slowly rises to the Vāne descent of the Austrumkursa Upland, reaching 50–60 m above sea level. Before Valgale village, it turns around the deep ravine of the Valgale river and goes to Sabile along the upper bank of the Abava valley, and only nearby Sabile descends to Abava bridge (Lāčplēša, Kuldīgas street). In the vicinity of Sabile, the natural areas are changing again and the landscapes of the Saldus hills of the Austrumkursa Upland can be seen here. The depth of the Abava valley between Rumbciems and Sabile reaches about 40 m. The Forest Trail today and the next day crosses the nature park "Abavas senleja" ("Abava valley").
Section 95. Sabile – Kandava.
One of the most beautiful nature parks in Kurzeme
The Forest Trail continues along the left bank of the Abava, along Kr. Barona street. Further, as a small path, it crosses the meadows and forest clusters of the Abava valley until it reaches a hill called the Swedish hat (Zviedru cepure). After Zviedru cepure, the Forest Trail goes along a small country road to the Plosti – Pūces road (V1471), crosses Amula and at Kalnmuiža winds up in the Abava valley, along which the next 6 km leads to Aizdzire Manor park. Another 1 km to the north the Forest Trail crosses the Abava valley in its full width, revealing some of the most beautiful views of the valley. The depth of the Abava valley in this place is about 40 m. After the Fisherman's Bridge (Zvejnieku tilts), the Forest Trail rises on the northern slope of a valley where vineyards are planted. Winding through the forest, it crosses the Kandava–Renda road (P130) and further along Sabiles street reaches Kandava. Along the Lauku, Ozola, Zīļu, Sabiles and Pils streets of this picturesque small-town the Forest Trail reaches the Knights' Castle Mound. Throughout the section, the Forest Trail winds through the nature park "Abavas senleja" ("Abava valley").
Section 96. Kandava – Jaunmokas.
Pūre – a place where chocolate is made
Along Jelgavas street, crossing the old boulder bridge over Abava, the Forest Trail along Daigones street and further along a gravel road leads to the 5 km distant Daigone village, after which it descends along the Dziļkalns–Pūre road (V1464) in the Abava valley. After the bridge over Abava, the Forest Trail turns right and along a small path reaches Pūre. Circling around the Pūre Manor, it stretches for the next 5 km to Galciems along Zemeņu street and Pūre–Jaunsāti (C004) road. Sand and gravel are mined here in the quarries of the region. In Galciems, the Forest Trail turns left onto a small gravel road (C003), which after 3.5 km connects with Jaunmoku–Jaunsāti road (V1444). After another 3 km, the Forest Trail crosses the Rīga–Ventspils highway and reaches Jaunmoku palace along small paths surrounded by tree alleys. Approaching the palace from Jaunsāti, you can see the beautiful wide landscapes around the Forest Trail, where Spārnene, the wavy plain of Austrumkursa, alternates with Vanema hills.

As countless audience members piled into the theatre, the room was silent as fans anticipated the film that would give them a peek inside their hero's life in his last musical days. As the opening credits rolled, I could hear the anxious bites of popcorn and see the nervous bites of nails. "This Is It" is the film that depicts the gone-too-soon idol in his honest role of performer and friend. Michael Jackson made many dreams come true with the announcement of his London tour, however many fans in the United States were unaware of just how much tenuous work was put in to the project.
Through this film, we had the opportunity to see just that: a wise man's work for a project he was passionate about. With cameras there in moments usually unseen, I discovered that Jackson is not the man the tabloids expose him to be. Instead of the high voiced and slightly outrageous person depicted on magazine covers, he is actually a musician with a good sense of humor, a sensitive heart, and killer dance moves (but we already knew that one).
Known for his groundbreaking music videos and explosive shows, Jackson ensured the "This Is It" London tour was to be nothing short of spectacular. As a film buff myself, I had a great appreciation for the music videos to be used as song intros. In one introducing the hit "Smooth Criminal," Jackson is in the middle of Chicago during the prohibition era battling with renowned black and white actor Humphrey Bogart. Had it not been for this movie, the mass creativity and resources already put in to this tour would have remained unknown. Fans in the audience watched intently as they watched a great show come to life before their eyes. While it's a shame this tour had to be cancelled due to Jackson's untimely and devastating death, the film aided in bringing his legacy to life once again.
During the movie I could not grasp the fact that this motivational artist was simply gone; his spirit was very much alive on the big screen. His dancing and majesty on stage was skillfully captured, and fans could not help but clap and sing along with the hits we all know so well. Not a foot in the room could refrain from tapping. "Man in the Mirror" played as we saw Jackson holding hands with his dancers, thanking them for being a part of it all. His love and sincerity was evident as he brought them in for a group hug. The film ended in a freeze frame of Jackson with his arms out wide, embracing the fulfillment of the end of a song. The picture stayed on screen for a long moment, allowing fans to remember this image that described the passionate man so well. Eyes were dried, and immediately the theatre broke out in applause.
I left the theatre with bittersweet feelings: inspired by a man's dedication to his creativity and inspirations in life, and sad that such a trivial person was gone so soon. "This Is It" is a tremendous film that allows fans around the world to forever remember Michael Jackson and his legacy as a beautiful human and motivational artist.

Top 5 Roofers in Helena-West Helena, AR
Frequently asked questions about roofers
In most cases, you can install metal roofing over shingles. There are some exceptions to this, largely depending on how damaged the roof is. Your roofer will ensure that your home can handle a metal roof structurally and that any issues present won't be exacerbated. Metal is very strong, but also very light compared to other roofing options, such as asphalt. It can be installed directly overtop the existing shingles, meaning you're going to save a lot of money leaving them in place. Because metal is light, it won't significantly increase the load for your home to bear. These roofs last a long time, they reflect heat rather than absorb it, and can withstand whatever the weather throws at them.
When it comes to installation, a quick "roofers near me" search can find you a professional. The basic idea is that you are screwing the metal over top of your existing shingles. Begin with getting a precise measurement of the surface you're covering. Valleys, dormers, and chimneys will affect how much metal you need. You'll start with laying roofing felt over the entire roof. You want your felt to be straight and square. Some people use wood strips to assist them. Any seams where water can get into will require flashing. From here, put the panels in place. Keep them straight and symmetrical, and apply this to the screws as well. You're going to have to cut the valleys by hand, so be precise in your measurements.
Use rubber or foam closure strips for any overlaps. Get some that match the shape and color of your roof. These prevent water damage. You also have the option of attaching rubber strips for plumbing vents. Once finished, attach the ridge cap. This gives the roof closure and prevents leaking. You can also use a mesh to create a ridge vent that allows airflow.
There are a number of options you can use when it comes to roof installation.
Shingles (asphalt, fiberglass, and composite) – Asphalt is the most common roofing you'll see on modern homes. It's relatively cheap compared to other options and can last up to 30 years. They come in a variety of color options, which are prone to fading over years of sun exposure. You can opt for architectural shingles, which are thicker and more weather resistant. You can also do three-tab shingles, which are quicker to install but are prone to wind damage.
Metal – This style of roofing has been around for longer than most people realize, and is gaining popularity. Zinc and aluminum are cheap, beautiful, and require very little maintenance. Metal roofing is highly durable and will last a long time. Improper installation will cause problems, and you may need soundproofing for the noise it can generate in a storm.
Wood – Wooden roofing can make for a cozy-looking home, and it lasts longer than shingles. While wood is beautiful, it comes with a higher maintenance cost, especially in areas prone to fire (where you'd need to specially treat the roof). Wood is best used in dry climates, as water, mildew, and mold are a problem for wood.
Clay – Clay may last for an entire lifetime and is extremely fire and wind-resistant. It's been used for over 5000 years around the world and is still being used today. Clay doesn't have many color options, and it can be heavy. It also may require specialized labor to install. It's great at regulating the temperature within a home.
Slate – Slate is a material that will last. It may not need replacing for nearly 200 years, is completely fireproof, and withstands winds and temperature extremes. Slate is expensive and heavy, much like clay, and may require extra structural support. Unlike clay, it has a wider variety of color options.
TPO stands for Thermoplastic Polyolefin. It's a mostly recycled rubber material sold in rolls, which are held together by seams that stick due to the heat. TPO comes in rolls but is priced like any other roofing material. It is best suited for flat surfaces, which it was designed for. Homes with pitched roofs will want to avoid TPO. It's not designed to be attractive and must be installed in dry conditions, which is why it's generally seen among commercial buildings. The quality of material in TPO can vary greatly between manufacturers, which leads to wide variations in pricing.
TPO has many good qualities as well. It's a reflective material, which means you'll save money on cooling and energy usage. It's very simple to install, lightweight, and requires little maintenance. Since it's made from recycled materials, this roofing also lowers your eco-footprint. This doesn't quite paint the whole picture, as the materials needed to install TPO can add up fast. You'll need insulation between your home and the TPO, which helps regulate heat. Depending on the thickness, this cost can be as much as the TPO itself. You'll also need to add flashing to the seams and corners. Flashing prevents water leakage, and ranges wildly depending on your roof, such as whether you have peaks, dormers, or a chimney.
To attach TPO to your roof, you have three main options available to you. You can use glue to fasten the rubber to the underlayment, which is known as an attached roof. A fastened roof uses screws to hold itself down, and a ballasted roof uses rocks or pavers.
On average, your roof will cost roughly $8,600 to replace. The price varies based on the size of the home and what materials you want to use. When you receive a quote for a roof, you may be quoted based on square foot, or by square. They are different, with a square making up 100 square feet. Either way, the cost for labor is, on average, between $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot, or $150 to $300 per square.
Another factor that can raise the cost of a roof replacement is whether there is damage. If the roof is rotting, it's not safe for a roofer to stand on it. Roofing companies will need to bring in equipment and fix the rotting, which will increase your costs. If you're requiring the roof to be replaced under extreme weather conditions, this may alter your cost. If you have multiple layers of shingles, it may take more time (and therefore money) to remove them.
Material can account for 40% of the roofing cost. Asphalt can be as high as $5.50 per square foot. Metal, on the high side, can be $14, and clay or slate can go as high as $20 per square foot. Wood can go as high as $7 per square foot, but requires a lot of maintenance. Most people tend to go with asphalt, as it tends to last up to 30 years, and has a variety of colors to choose from.
If you're going to replace the roof, and it's not an emergency, fall is the best season for the job. Autumn is a relatively dry season, and the weather is cooler.
There are benefits and disadvantages to any type of roofing. Asphalt is a common roofing material that comes in shingles. They're an inexpensive option and straightforward to install. Metal comes in long sheets. It can be expensive to make and to install, but its seamless design is among the best available for roofing options. Metal is currently gaining in popularity, but that trend may not last. Rather, consider how it holds up in comparison.
Metal roofing is durable, and can withstand heat, water, wind, and hail. Once installed, it's also quite easy to maintain. Because of its reflective nature, you can save energy costs in the summer, as metal will repel heat. Metal costs more to create and install, plus it's heavier. If your home needs stability improvements to handle it, that won't be cheap.
Asphalt is cheap to make, cheap to buy, and cheap to install. It's relatively durable, though its longevity is only 50 years compared to metal's 70 years or more. Asphalt has low snow retention, and extreme weather can harm it. It offers nothing in terms of energy savings.
If shingles need replacing, it's a relatively straightforward job. You slide a new shingle in place and nail it down. Of course, anything on the roof is a safety hazard, so don't take the job lightly. Metal roofs don't need a lot of maintenance, but when they do, it's a pain. If you use improper materials, it can cause the metal to corrode and create a bigger problem.
Both materials make for solid roofs. Asphalt has a few drawbacks, but is also the best for a tight budget. Metal costs more, but you gain durability, savings, and longer replacement costs. If you have the budget, you can decide if it's worth it.
Metal roofing is sold in squares, which are comprised of 100 square feet, and may also be called metal sheets. There are a variety of different metals you can choose from.
- Steel roofs can come in two different types. The difference between the two types is what metal the steel is coated with. Galvanized is zinc, whereas galvalume is aluminum. Galvalume is cheaper and can go as high as $200 per sheet, whereas galvanized can go as high as $350.
- Stainless steel is more durable and has a beautiful sheen to it. It's considered a premium metal and is not a cheap option. It can run anywhere between $400 to $1,200 per sheet.
- Tin roofs are a bit of a misnomer, as the actual material that comprises these roofs is called terne. This is steel coated with tin and can cost between $300 to $1,500 per square.
- Aluminum is a cheaper option and can be recycled after you replace it. Compared to other options, it is a cheaper option at $600 per sheet on the high end.
- Copper fades to a soft green over time and is highly durable. It can cost between $800 to $1,500 per sheet. It's highly rust resistant and will have a long life.
- Zinc is an attractive option that is available in both shingle style or standing steam to suit your aesthetic. Zinc usually runs between $600 to $1,000.
To install, metal roofing costs $3000 on average, though style, pitch, and coating can increase those costs. As always, size can play a factor as well. All the best roofing companies can break down your options for you and help you decide what the best option is for your specific circumstances.

The desperate, dangerous nuclear power industry has dropped a $50 billion stealth bomb meant to irradiate the Obama Stimulus Package.
It comes in the form of a mega-loan guarantee package that would build new reactors Wall Street wouldn't finance even when it had cash. It will take a healthy dose of citizen action to stop it, so start calling your Senators now.
The vaguely worded bailout-in-advance provision was snuck through the Senate Appropriations Committee in the deep night of January 27. It would provide $50 billion in loan guarantees for "eligible technologies" that would technically include renewable sources and electric transmission. But the handout is clearly directed at nukes and "clean coal."
The Stimulus Package is explicitly meant to create jobs within the next two years. But according to sources at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, no new reactors could be licensed for construction within that time. Nor could any new coal plants. And thus the funds in this rider are to "remain available until committed." That means their "stimulus" might not go into effect for many years.
But the nuclear industry does have the ability to spend large sums of money on "site preparation" and other busy work prior to being licensed. Though the guarantees could technically be used for truly green sources such as wind and solar, the provision's backers, including Senators Robert Bennett (R-UT) and Thomas Carper (D-DE), have made it clear that this money is meant to go for new reactor construction.
In late 2007, nuclear power's Congressional Godfather, then-Sen. Pete Domenici (R-NM), stuck a similar $50 billion loan guarantee package into that year's energy bill. A grassroots uprising, joined by virtually all national environmental organizations, helped defeat the package. Among other things, the fight inspired a music video from Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, Graham Nash, Keb Mo and Ben Harper (www.nukefree.org).
In late 2008 the industry came back again with a blank check package that went down in flames along with the stock market.
Still unable to get private financing, the industry is back yet again. In the interim, the projected cost of building new reactors has soared to more than $10 billion each, and continues to climb steadily. Many of the previous generation of reactors came in hugely over budget. According to the Nuclear Information & Resource Service, one DOE study places the overall average overruns at 207%. But reactor projects such as Seabrook, in New Hampshire, New York's Shoreham, Pennsylvania's Beaver Valley, California's Diablo Canyon, and many others, far exceeded that.
The Congressional Budget Office now predicts that half the nuclear utilities using such a loan program will go into default. Some $18.5 billion in loan guarantees has already been approved, apparently for such use. But its legality is being hotly disputed, and the money has not been distributed by the Department of Energy.
Washington insiders believe this latest attempt at a pre-arranged bailout has again come from Domenici, who has stayed in Washington to lobby for his radioactive benefactors after apparently retiring from the Senate in January.
This guarantee package was not part of the Stimulus Package that passed the House. Its secretive, late night inclusion on the Senate side is reminiscent of how former Vice President Dick Cheney did business for the fossil/nuclear corporations that funded much of the Bush Administration. The reappearance of this kind of back door dealing has not been well received, especially in the House.
Numerous national groups, including the Nuclear Information & Resource Service (www.nirs.org) are providing sign-ins for sending e-mails to the Senate. They also urge that you call your Senator at 202-224-3121.
Time is fast slipping by for the nuke power industry. As the popularity of renewables and efficiency escalates, the most obvious source of new jobs and prosperity has become truly green technologies. Atomic power has long since been priced out of the market. Only massive federal and ratepayer subsidies could bring it back, to the direct detriment of the revolution in renewables.
Defeating this latest money grab will help drive another nail in the coffin of the 20th century's most expensive failed technology. It is an essential step toward a truly green-powered future.
HARVEY WASSERMAN, a co-founder of Musicians United for Safe Energy, is editing the nukefree.org web site. He is the author of SOLARTOPIA! Our Green-Powered Earth, A.D. 2030, is at www.solartopia.org. He can be reached at: firstname.lastname@example.com

.@john_nye all the stores I've submitted extensions to do manual reviews. Mozilla:
- gives two review options (fast and slow),
- runs loads of automated tests in a web interface to suggest things to fix,
- gives you the choice of which review to use, and creates a public URL from which the extension can be installed while the review's in process
Safari and Opera have fairly basic, boring forms for uploading stuff, and are extremely picky and unclear about exact image sizes for screenshots and icons. There's also no "review in progress" page, but otherwise acceptable.
Obviously I've not been able to actually submit an extension to the Chrome store, but I'd hope that it's a damned good experience for $5. If they are doing automatic reviews, then the price becomes even more counter-intuitve. If they've automated it, surely it's cheaper and quicker for them?

With 6 mobile column lifts in a single setup, you have the ability to lift up to 108,000 lbs. Despite so much lifting power, each column is easy to stow away in minutes flat after the vehicle is lowered. Safety and user control is paramount, so all lifts will be connected via a single control panel and can be stopped simultaneously with the push of a button.
Features & Specs
- 18,000-lb. individual column capacity / 108,000-lb. maximum system capacity
- Meets or exceeds the standards prescribed by ANSI/ALI ALCTV-2011
- Two, four, or six column configurations can accommodate heavy duty trucks and light duty passenger vehicles
- 460/380V, 50/60HZ, 3-Ph
- SINGLE, PAIR or TEAM operation
- For a standard four-column set, just three 30′ cables are used leaving the front or back of the lift clear of cable obstructions
- Simple operation, long service life and minimum maintenance
- Intuitive controls allow the lift to be fully programmed and controlled from any column
- Control systems feature 24-volt safety circuitry
- The PLC and main system components are standard off-the-shelf brands rather than proprietary printed circuit boards or controls, which can be very expensive to service or replace
- Smart electronics feature self-diagnostics and self-calibration functions
- Sealed and enclosed linear potentiometers feature precision potentiometric output and high-frequency response for precise synchronization and communication of all columns throughout all operation cycles for precise, level lifting
- Variable height limit settings can be programmed for shops with low ceilings or when specific vehicle service requirements necessitate specific rise heights
- Two-speed lowering option – turtle or rabbit speed settings
- Each column is equipped with a warning light and audible alarm for critical warning alerts
- Emergency shut-off switches on each column quickly shut off power to the lift in the event an unsafe condition is detected by the operator
- Separate key lock enclosure on each column
- Electronics are multi-fuse protected
- An enclosed electric-hydraulic power system that ensures quieter operation is better suited for sound-sensitive areas
- Pallet-jack style steering wheels enable the columns to be lowered firmly on the floor vs. constantly loaded spring-type steering wheels that can cause columns to roll when unladen by the weight of a vehicle
- Low-mounted power units and cylinders means a lower center of gravity, making the columns easier to move and less likely to topple vs. screw-drive systems with heavy overhead motors and drive systems
- Extended forks accommodate wide tires and deep wheel configurations
- Multi-width wheel forks with locking pins accommodate the widest range of wheels, eliminating the need for specialty wheel adapters
- Tandem 8" diameter polyurethane covered steel wheels with sealed roller bearings easily roll over dirt and debris
- Heavy-duty steel carriage rollers feature turned, ground and polished axle pins
- Manual safety override valves on each column permit the lift to be lowered in the event of a power outage without the need for manual hand cranks
- Durable forklift pockets provide simplistic handling when moving the lift columns from one facility to another
- Inverted hydraulic cylinders feature an integrated safety valve to prevent accidental uncontrolled lowering in the event of oil pressure loss
- Multiple, automatic, independent safety locks spaced every four inches ensure safe operation
- Space-saving design, reduced column weight and a tight turning radius provides improved mobility
- Use the lift to place vehicles on tall jack stands then use the columns to raise another vehicle in an adjoining bay
- Durable powder-coat finish

Brian Nicholson, senior landscape product specialist at global design and BIM software developer Vectorworks, Inc., has passed the Sustainable SITES Initiative accredited professional exam. Nicholson is among the first group of SITES Accredited Professionals (APs) to pass the exam and receive the resulting designation. First announced at the October 2016 ASLA Annual Meeting in New Orleans, the SITES AP exam uses the expertise of leading practitioners to assess a candidate's competency in sustainable landscape design and development. For landscape professionals who successfully pass the exam, this new designation allows them to exhibit their knowledge and commitment to the profession, promote the value of landscape architecture and educate the public about how SITES can play a role in a more sustainable and healthy environment. The Sustainable SITES Initiative (SITES) is the first program of its kind to offer a systematic, comprehensive rating system designed to define thoughtful land development and management. SITES aligns land development and management with innovative design—defining what a sustainable site is and, ultimately, elevating the value of landscapes in the built environment. Land is a crucial component of the built environment and can be planned, designed, developed and maintained to protect and enhance the benefits we derive from healthy functioning landscapes. The four overarching goals of the SITES rating system are to create regenerative systems and foster resiliency; ensure future source supply and mitigate climate change; transform the market through design, development and maintenance practices; and enhance human wellbeing and strengthen the community. "It's an honor to be in the first cohort of landscape professionals to earn this important and distinguished credential," said Nicholson. "Being a newly minted SITES AP, I'm looking forward to developing tools and workflows within Vectorworks to help streamline SITES documentation on projects for landscape architects." In addition to earning the SITES AP designation, Nicholson is a professional landscape architect, maintaining licenses in multiple jurisdictions and is an accredited Green Roof Professional (GRP) and LEED accredited professional. He also serves as the ASLA Colorado chapter president, where he develops value-added programs for members and advocates for the chapter at the national level. Since their release, Vectorworks product specialists have worked with users to recognize and facilitate design workflows that adhere to the design and performance standards set forth in LEED and SITES. With Nicholson becoming an accredited professional for both rating systems, those using Vectorworks® Landmark software for their own site design projects will continue to see more SITES supported features and workflows to ensure their project documents meet or exceed these standards.

This month we are delivering a number of great capabilities. We are introducing Quick measures, which is a huge update to our Quick Calcs experience. We have some very exciting updates in both data connectivity and query editing, including allowing you to connect to datasets on the Power BI service, so you can create your model just once and use it in multiple reports. We also have an innovative new way to add columns in your query editor: add column by example. Additionally, we are extending our matrix preview with even more features and releasing a preview of Q&A in Spanish.
Continue reading to learn about all these great features and make sure to register for the 2017 Microsoft Data Insights Summit to see all the new and exciting Power BI features in person!
Here's the complete list of April updates:
- Rename axis titles
- New matrix visual enhancements: column sorting, column resizing, and word wrapping (preview)
- Connect to datasets in the Power BI service (preview)
- Redshift Connector: beta support & publish to Power BI service
- SAP HANA & BW Connectors: enhancements to parameter input experience
- Add column by example
- Split column (by delimiter/number of characters) into rows
- Group by – basic mode
- Go to column
For a summary of the major updates, you can watch the following video:
Report view
Rename axis titles
If your field names aren't the most business user friendly, or your chart layout needs more explanation, you can now rename your axis titles to anything you want. This option is with the other title options under the axis card in the formatting pane.
Find more information about axis title renaming in the following video:
New matrix visual enhancements: column sorting, column resizing, and word wrapping (preview)
Last month, we released a preview of a new matrix visual with lots of exciting new features, which you can read about in our last blog post. This month, we are adding to the fun with three updates to this preview: column sorting, resizing, and word wrapping.
You can sort the matrix now by the grand total and row headers ascending or descending, just as you could with the original matrix.
We've also added the resize functionality we had in the original matrix to the preview. Just hover over the area between the two columns and your cursor will change to indicate you can click and drag to resize.
Finally, you can now word wrap column headers, row headers and values in the matrix preview. Each one can be turned on in the formatting pane under the corresponding card: column headers, row headers, and values.
We've heard lots of great feedback from the survey we launched last month and have plans to bring many of the features you requested to the matrix in the near future. For example, we are working on:
- Updating the table visual to support cross highlighting
- Adding control over visibility of individual subtotals
- Supporting URL icons
Find more details the updates to the matrix preview in the following video:
Quick measures and show value as preview
This month we are previewing a major update to our Quick Calcs experience. Once you turn the preview on by selecting Quick measures under File > Options and settings > Preview features, you'll see two new options for numerical columns and measures: Show value as and Quick measures. These options will replace the previous Quick Calcs option in the field menu.
Show value as is a quick way to change the way your values appear in a chart or table. These correspond to what was previously in the Quick Calcs dialog. Since you no longer need to open a dialog, it is now very quick to update how your values show in any given chart.
Using quick measures is a very fast way to create new measures based on measures and numerical columns in your table. This means you can now deliver expert level calculations with no DAX knowledge. These new measures are now part of your model and can be used in any of your charts. This means you can use them as a great learning tool or as a starting place for more advanced calculations since the auto-generated DAX is available to you.
You can create measures based on 19 different calculations across 5 different categories:
Aggregate within category
These calculations let you apply different aggregates at different levels in your data. For example, you could sum revenue up to the month level and then take an average of that total to display at the year level.
Filters and baselines
These calculations allow you to calculate values for a specific category in a column, or compare values to a specific baseline. For example, you could calculate your sales for just a specific category of your products.
Time intelligence
If you need a measure that shows period-to-date or period-over-period values, the time intelligence calculations let you do this. DAX has many built-in functions that these quick measures make simple to use.
Running total
This calculation is similar to the YTD calculation, but lets you apply a running total over any field, not just dates.
Mathematical operations
These calculations run simple mathematical functions, which can become powerful when chained together.
You can create a quick measure by selecting Quick measures from the field menu, either in the field well of a chart or from the field list.
In the dialog, you can pick any of the 19 different calculations to perform on the selected measure. Depending on the calculation, you'll have different required parameters you'll need to fill in. You can also change the fields being used in the calculation using the field list on the right half of the dialog.
After you fill in all the required parameters and click OK, the quick measure is now part of your model and available to use in your other visuals. It'll also be added to your existing visual if you launched it from the Field Well of a visual.
If you want to learn more about this feature, check out our quick measures deep dive blog.
Find more details about quick measures in the following video:
Q&A in Spanish (preview)
We are very excited to announce a preview of Q&A in Spanish. The first step to using Q&A in Spanish is to mark the language of your model as Spanish. To do this, you first must turn on the preview feature by checking Spanish language support for Power BI Q&A under File > Options and settings > Preview features.
Once the feature is on, you'll find a Language option in the Modeling tab of the Relationship view.
Once your model language is set to Spanish, you can now publish this report to the Power BI service and be able to ask any question you want in Spanish!
For example, I can now ask Q&A for the countries and number of medals they won in the Rome '60 Olympics in Spanish and get the result back!
If you have any Spanish language models, be sure to give this feature a try!
Learn more about the Spanish Q&A preview in the following video:
Data connectivity
Connect to datasets in the Power BI service
You can now connect to a dataset that exists on the Power BI service. This feature is great when you are part of a team and you all want to work off the exact same model. You can craft your model only once, publish it to the Power BI service to create a dataset, and then everyone can create other Power BI Desktop reports off of it.
You'll find this new connector under Get Data > Online Services > Power BI service.
You will see a list of all the workgroups you are a part of. Expand one and you'll see all the datasets that you have edit access to. This includes any datasets in your workspace and datasets in shared workspaces.
Select a dataset and you will be live connected to that model in the cloud. You can now create a new report and publish it up to the service to share out. Of course, you can always download the file again if you ever need to.
Since this is a live connection, you won't have permission to do any modeling and cannot join the data with any other sources. To do these type of changes, you will need to make them in the source file and republish to the service for other reports to consume.
This is a preview feature, so you will need to turn it on in by selecting Power BI Service Live Connection under File > Options and settings > Preview features.
Learn more about connecting to datasets in the Power BI service in the following video:
Redshift Connector: beta support & publish to Power BI service
We're making the Redshift connector available as beta in this release, so you no longer need to enable it as a preview feature. The Redshift connector can be found under the Database category within the "Get Data" dialog.
Redshift-based reports have been supported in the Power BI service since March. Now, we're also enabling the Publish button in Power BI Desktop, so you can publish your Redshift-based reports directly from Power BI Desktop. Learn more about the Redshift connector in our dedicated blog.
Learn more about the Redshift connector in the following video:
SAP HANA & BW Connectors: enhancements to parameter input experience
We're improving the Parameter Input UX for SAP HANA & BW connectors in a couple of ways.
Ability to filter down the list of parameters to "only required parameters"
Improvements to the single/multi-selection input controls
We're moved away from dropdown menus and started using a popup dialog for both single selection and multi selection controls. This new dialog allows you to see both the ID and Caption for each parameter value, as well as search within the list of values by any of these two fields. This should make it easier to provide input values compared to the previous experience that only allowed to input IDs.
Learn more about the updates to the SAP HANA and BW connectors in the following video:
Query editing
Add column by example
This month we're adding a new smart data exploration capability to the Query Editor that learns from your examples. Based on your examples of the desired output, we will detect the transformations required and create a new column.
This is an innovative approach to defining query steps within the Query Editor that simplifies the process for beginners as they no longer need to come up with "a strategy" for how to transform or extract data from other columns, or how to define those transformations in the Query Editor.
Watch this feature in action in the following video:
We're just getting started with this feature and plan to make improvements incrementally in subsequent releases. A list of all currently supported data transformations is available from the "Help" link in the command bar while using this feature. Your feedback about this feature is really critical to us in order to influence future enhancements, so please do not hesitate to contact us via the "Send Feedback" button, also available from the command bar.
Split column (by delimiter/number of characters) into rows
We've added a new option within the "Split Column By Delimiter" and "Split Column by Number of Characters" transformation dialogs that allows you to specify whether to split into new columns (default behavior) or split into new rows.
This new option can be found under the "Advanced Options" section in these two dialogs.
Learn more about the update to the Split Column feature in the following video:
Group by – basic mode
We have added a Basic mode to the Group By transform dialog that simplifies the UI for you to group by a single column and define a single output column. You can switch between Basic and Advanced modes within the Group By dialog by selecting the desired option at the top of the dialog.
Learn more about the basic mode of the Group by feature in the following video:
Go to column
When working with tables that have a large number of columns, it can be hard to scroll in the Query Editor Preview in order to find the column that you want to apply transformations to.
In this month's release, we're adding a new "Go To Column" option within the Home tab in the Query Editor ribbon that allows you to search within the list of columns and select the column that you would like to scroll to and select.
Learn more about Go to column in the following video:
That's all for this month! We hope that you enjoy this new update and continue sending us valuable feedback about our product. Please don't forget to vote for other features that you would like to see in the Power BI Desktop in the future.
And don't forget to register for the 2017 Microsoft Data Insights Summit! I can't wait to see everyone there.
