Vert Energy Group's Core Strengths
Vert Energy Group's team of professional energy engineers and consultants combines decades of experience to support your facility technology needs, including the development of capital cost projects for new and existing buildings, facilities, and infrastructures.
Although our team consists of multi-disciplined professionals, our core strength is helping building owners and managers define a clear set of goals and objectives for improving their buildings, developing a custom approach specific to each building, and then implementing that plan while serving as the Owner's Technical Representative.
Our core strengths can be summarized as, although not limited to, the following areas of expertise:
Energy Efficiency Audits and Building Modernization Planning.
A comprehensive approach to integrated energy efficiency audits, feasibility studies, needs analysis, and modernization planning. This investment-grade study assures that the most cost effective and appropriate energy management program is developed, which aligns with the owner's financial and operational goals.
Full Service Engineering.
Whether the scope of work requires fully engineered systems or design/build criteria plans and specifications, we provide multi-disciplined project engineering services. Services include schematic designs, construction documents, bidding, construction administration, and performance verification.
Project Management and Implementation.
Vert Energy Group serves as the Owner's Technical Representative (OTR) and provides management and technical oversight for energy projects to ensure contractors properly engineer, install, and test systems in accordance with contract requirements. This differs from traditional design/build or ESCO contractors because our focus is always on the property owner's best interest. This type of quality assurance will make sure no corners are cut and that the project remains on time and on budget.
Commissioning and Retrocommissioning.
Commissioning of newly installed technologies and equipment, as well or Retrocommissioning (RCx) existing equipment to ensure it is operating efficiently and at optimal levels. Vert Energy Group also actively engages and trains the building management and maintenance staff on how to properly operate these systems so they continue to deliver and exceed savings expectations.

So we've finally moved our entire back catalogue of Audio Drama stories to Libsyn (use coupon code ADPP to get a months free hosting with them) and you can download/listen to them all right here. This includes both seasons of our post-apocalyptic Audio Drama series Aftermath.
From a creative point of view, these pieces demonstrate a steep learning curve. The production values in Season 1 of Aftermath, combined with some of our early short stories, fall way below the standards we've set for ourselves nowadays. Nevertheless, we've learned a lot from putting these pieces together, and we're very proud of them.
We hope that you enjoy listening to each one as much as we enjoyed making it. Be sure to subscribe via our RSS feed so you don't miss out on future stories. And any ratings/reviews on iTunes would be hugely appreciated too!

To Save Life Or To Kill (Day 10 of A Simple Lent)
My absolute favorite part of Jesus's teaching is his few teachings about Sabbath. I think dealing with them is an essential part of understanding Jesus.
Sabbath law is at the core of Torah. The literal observance of the Sabbath day is important. More important, however, is how Sabbath is weaved into the core methodology of creation, of how GOD sets up the blessed community, and what GOD dreams the kingdom will be revealed to be.
Sevens are woven throughout scripture, and often as an appeal to justice and equality; to the gathering of people to be as one. It is in the Jubilee and the gleaning of the fields; it is even in the gathering of baskets of bread in the second feeding of the multitudes in the gospels.
Sabbath is awesome. Which is why Jesus wants to reclaim it.
Not so awesome
The disciples are picking heads of grain and eating it, which, to equate with doing work on the Sabbath is a bit of a stretch. But to someone who is a stickler for the rules I guess it counts.
His response is to say that we aren't to be ruled by the Sabbath – it is what makes us better, not what confines or reduces us.
We aren't to use it as a cudgel to beat down someone else. It isn't an opportunity to pass judgment on someone else: did they do the Sabbath right? Jesus seems to say it doesn't actually matter.
But the better vision of Jesus's teaching is in what he does next.
Being awesome
So he's confronted about the Sabbath – his disciples are being judged for the way they're observing it and he's being judged for allowing it – and how does he respond?
He walks into a synagogue and in front of everybody, knowing exactly what they would think about him, heals a man with a withered hand.
BOOM! That's the Jesus mic drop.
Here's how much you don't understand the Sabbath, he seems to be arguing. I'll show you what observing the Sabbath actually means.
Here's his reasoning:
'Is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the sabbath, to save life or to kill?'
They don't like it. Of course they wouldn't. He just spat in their eye. And called them stupid.
To save
The deeper teaching Jesus is offering, beyond the atmospherics and the big show of value and intention, is to recast the value system of the Sabbath and reclaim its intention.
Yes, the Sabbath is for rest.
It's also for justice and equality. It is for making sure everyone gets fed. It is for freeing slaves. It is for celebrating in the mercy of GOD.
So Jesus confronts them in their judgment and seems to say While you are all up in my face about resting, where is the justice? The Sabbath is about life and death. I'm choosing to save lives. By doing nothing, you are choosing to kill.
To kill
Where in our lives do we see impacts of our doing nothing and our status quos? Where are those places in which our passive inaction is what kills?
There's a famous study in which they simulate a situation of life and death. A whole bunch of people are trapped on a bridge and there is one morbidly obese person making the group too heavy to be saved. Do you push the man off the bridge to save the lives of the rest?
Most of us don't push the man. We don't want to be directly responsible for the man's death. And we will accept the secondary responsibility for the death of the other people.
When they change the language of the instructions, however, it causes people to move their thinking into the logical reasoning part of the brain. Suddenly most people who are put in the situation come to see their decision as being directly related to either one death or a dozen.
Rather than encouraging people to push other people off bridges or to become cold, unfeeling jerks, I suggest that the study helps us see our world much as Jesus does. That our passive indecision is actually a decision and that our secondary responsibility through inaction is very much responsibility for death.
Saving, not killing
How then might we be saving lives? How might we act to prevent death?
Where are we already making decisions by not making a decision? Where in our lives are we sentencing people to death through inaction? Where in our common life do we see this most clearly?
Where are the withered hands that need to be healed because it's the Lord's Day rather than in spite of it?
Where are those places of action in our church, our personal lives, our world which need us to stand up in spite of judgment, not to condemn another, but to save life?
Where is life in our midst?

June 23, 1974 at Arlington Stadium in Texas the California Angels beat the Texas Rangers 10-2. Andy Hassler pitched 7 1/3 innings allowing 1 run on 3 hits for his first win of the season. Leroy Stanton was 4-5 with 3 RBI and a home run and Frank Robinson went 2-5 with 3 RBI and added a home run in the game, his 10th of the season. After 17 years in the majors Robinson was traded to the Angels with Bill Singer, Mike Strahler, Billy Grabarkewitz and Bobby Valentine from the Los Angeles Dodgers for Andy Messersmith and Ken McMullen. In 1973 at the age of 38, Robinson would still hit 30 home runs and have 97 RBI while with the Angels and in 1974 would make his last of 14 All-Star game appearances in an Angel uniform.
*Programming note: Due to technical difficulties we were unable to post the previous 'This Day in Angels Baseball' features the past few days. Below are the ones which were to be posted on those missed days.
June 22, 1966 at Anaheim Stadium the California Angels beat the Minnesota Twins 4-1. Dean Chance went the distance in the game, allowing 1 run on 6 hits, with 5 strike outs. Jose Cardenal and Bobby Knoop would each hit a home run in the game to lead the Angels scoring. It was Knoop's 11th home run of the season to date. Knoop was selected by the Angels at the end of 1963 in the Rule 5 major league draft and would become the Angels regular second baseman from 1964 until May of 1969 when he was sent to the Chicago White Sox in the Sandy Alomar trade. 1966 would be Knoop's best year with the Angels posting career-highs of 17 home runs, 72 RBI, 54 runs and 11 triples (led the American league that year). In 1966 he also set an American League record with 6 double plays in a game. Knoop would win gold gloves with the Angels from 1966-1968 and teamed with shortstop Jim Fregosi, they were one of the top double play combinations in baseball, both joining a select group as second base/shortstop to win the award in the same year on the same team in 1967. Knoop would return to the Angels in different coaching capacities from 1979-1996.
June 21, 2008 the Angels beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6-2 at Citizens Bank Park. Vlad Guerrero would homer twice and drive in 2 and Erick Aybar would also hit a home run and have 2 RBI's. Joe Saunders pitched 7 innings, allowing 2 runs on 5 hits for his 11th win of the year and Frankie Rodriguez would record his 29th save during the Angels club record 100 win season. Saunders was the Angels first-round (12th overall) pick in the 2002 draft and made his major league debut in 2005. In 2008 after Angels pitchers John Lackey and Kelvim Escobar were injured, Saunders would assume a full time role and have his best year going 17-7 with a 3.41 ERA. Both Saunders and Ervin Santana would start off 2008 with 5-0 records, tying Frank Tanana with 5-0 starts to a season as an Angel. On this date Saunders would become the first American League pitcher to record 11 wins and in 2008 would be an All-Star game selection.
June 20,1980 at Fenway Park in Boston the California Angels beat the Boston Red Sox 20-2. Frank Tanana pitched a complete game allowing 2 runs on 5 hits with 5 strikeouts, earning his 3rd win of the year in what would be his last season with the Angels. The Angels batters in the game would feast off Boston pitching, setting or tying club records with 26 hits, 52 total bases and 13 extra base hits. The Angels had 13 singles, 6 doubles, 1 triple and 6 home runs in the game. Carney Lansford, Rick Miller and Jason Thompson would each homer while Freddie Patek (known as the smallest player in the majors and for his speed more than his power) would hit 3 home runs, drive in 7 and have 14 of the 52 total bases himself, only 1 off Dave Winfield's Angel club record in a game. Patek signed with the Angels as a free agent before the 1980 season and would play in a utility role before retiring after 1981.

My daughter has the biggest heart of anyone I have ever known. She thinks of everyone that touches her life and wants to thank each and every one of them. It's an admirable quality I think, though it does force me to come up with more gift ideas.
This garden stone is for Miss Pickstock. She is more than an EA. (Not that being an EA is not heroic enough), but this particular one has been there for my girl at every corner of her academic adventure. She dried many tears, covered many injuries and helped to mold my daughter into the beautiful young woman she has become.
How to make a fairy garden stone:
- I used a digital image from Gecko Galz and printed it on white copy paper using my inkjet printer.
- Using spray adhesive, I glued the image to a ceramic tile that I had covered in Gesso.
- I used multiple colours of glitter glue to fill in the separate areas of the image.
- Allow to dry fully and then cover the image with glossy accents.
- Once the glossy accents dried, I used a black alcohol marker to trace all the lines in the original image. This made the black ink sit on top of the glue and give a very rich stained glass feel.
- Flat Backed marbles were covered with Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam and glued to the edge of the tile to create the border.
- After the glue dried and the marbles were stable I dripped more Glimmer Glam on top of them.
Voila...a sweet fairy accent for our wonderful Miss Pickstock.

Spotlight on: Jubilee Beauty Buys
The trend for paint box coloured hair shows no signs of waning in Celebsville. Everyone has been at it recently and while there are the regular colour chameleons - Jessie J, Kelly Osbourne, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj, other more unexpected celebrities have got in on the act. January Jones, Chloe Moretz and former ELLE cover star Dakota Fanning have worked pink streaks recently, while Coco Rocha and Nicola Roberts have gone for more drastic vibrant pink effects.
The most affordable and low-commitment way to rock a rainbow-hued head of hair is with the wash-out Colour FX Pink Hairspray, £1.99 at Superdrug or try the stores own brand Instant Hair Colour Sprays, 99p each. For something more long-lasting try Fudge Paintbox Colours, £6.40, there are 15 shades to choose from and they last between 3-30 washes. Fudge also sells Whiter Shade of Pale, £7.83, a toner that makes any of the Paintbox colours pastel.
Now you just need to decide which colour to go for, or just do a Lady Gaga and don't stop at one...More

When my decade-long, unofficial marriage ended, I spent a year sorting through shared belongings. At last in the bedroom, I parted with the Hawaiian quilt stitched with dolphins; I recycled our comforter -- now worn with the happiness of desire, our winter coziness, the startling confession of an affair. But it never occurred to me to let go of the spacious mattress.
Every morning when I awoke with a lower back ache, I still denied the truth: This mattress, like my relationship, no longer supported me. So why stay in a bed that sagged under my spine like sorrow? Every night I was sinking deeper into a foam-filled valley, next to an empty gulley. Could this mattress really be saved? I took a first step: check out what's possible.
"Let me introduce you to some splendid beds," the elderly department store salesman swept me into his huge boudoir. He seemed like a favorite uncle dressed for a wedding, dark suit with bright bowtie and his silver hair shorn in a respectable crew cut. He waltzed me through a bonanza of beds until my mind was numb from too many -- King, Queen, Super Lumbar Support, Firm to Pillow Top to Plush.
"So, will there be two of you?" he asked discretely, noting that I still wore a black pearl on my ring finger.
"No," I said softly. "We're....well, separated."
"Oh," the salesman nodded, then asked with a detached gentleness. "Are you having trouble sleeping?"
I nodded, turning away quickly to hide my sudden sadness. I tried to recover my composure by plopping down with what I hoped looked like consumer cheerfulness to test yet another bed. It had a surprising suppleness and bounce to it.
As it happens, I had landed on a twin bed. It was a modest, firm, no-nonsense single bed, the kind I hadn't slept on since childhood when I graduated from sleeping with siblings to my own room.
"This is so comfy," I said, bouncing a little more. "But then, I'm sure it's too small for...." I fell silent.
"Did you know that for every ten years, four of them are spent on a mattress?" The salesman waited patiently.
A radical idea took hold of me. It was as if the bed reached up through its individual coiled springs zinging a new synapse into my brain. A single bed for a single woman! After all, I was sleeping alone and unexpectedly enjoying it. I did not have the slightest intention, for now, of starting another relationship until I'd thoroughly sorted out and understood what went wrong. I knew I needed to learn to trust again after such an intimate betrayal. And until I healed, I would not be a good mate.
"Can I just buy just one twin... like a closed set?"
"Certainly you can," he said sensibly. "A twin is always good for kids, guests, you....whatever."
Here was my second epiphany. I could afford a much more expensive and supportive bed if I bought a single version of the Queen Size posturepedic I'd been eyeing. I jumped up and turned to lay both of my hands, palms flat, against the strong twin bed. It felt so sturdy and somehow self-possessed.
"Sold!" I said and smiled giddily.
I was quiet as he neatly wrote out the order and delivery date. When he handed the paperwork to me with a warm smile, my eyes met his. I had not noticed how dark and kind his expression until this moment. He concluded the deal by saying almost tenderly, "You'd be surprised how many of these twin...er, single beds I sell these days. It will last you...when other things don't."
As I walked away from the bed department I noted a young couple testing a King size, already arguing over plush or firm. I imagined their bodies adjusting to a young marriage and another body. Surprisingly, I did not envy them. All I wanted was to be home in a new, slim and stable bed -- dreaming alone. I saw myself on this bed for the next four out of ten years sleeping contentedly in monastic poise. If and when I ever do take another mate -- well, there is always the matching twin.

Pushing the Boundaries of Server Hardware
Server hardware is constantly evolving, and as a dedicated server administrator, it is a good idea to stay abreast on the latest technology and find out where server technology is headed in the future. The following are some of the new technology that has recently been released or is coming soon.
72-core processor – Do you think your quad-core system is fancy? Check out Tilera's 72-core chip architecture. Unveiled recently at the RSA conference, this chip is poised to threaten the long dominance of Intel and AMD in the server markets.
ARM Server Processors – ARM is attempting to enter the server processor market as well, offering energy-efficient 64-bit Cortex-A50 chips. As businesses become more environmentally conscious and/or need to comply with heightened regulations on power usage and carbon emissions, ARM could make great progress.
Big Data Hardware – Big data is big news in the server industry and many companies like HP, EMC, and Oracle are now selling hardware specifically designed for big data. These big data appliances offer fast processing, on-server cache, and software tailored for data queries, large storage, and analytics.
Whether you are just getting started with servers or are running an enterprise that needs the latest and greatest, technology changes fast. By knowing what is out there, you can determine what you do and do not need.

'What should we talk about on the first date?'
Introducing Dr Love, who solves your relationship riddles in a confusing digital age
Q. Could you tell me a few great questions to ask on a first date?
A. What you are asking me, in effect, is how you should have a conversation. If you are old enough to date, you should be old enough to have figured that out by now. Assuming you haven't though, I suggest you start by asking your date about his or her life, before moving on to what he or she does or intends to do, what his or her likes and dislikes are and whether or not Sachin Tendulkar's greatest innings was the one in which he scored a double century against South Africa at Gwalior in February, 2010. If your date has uninteresting responses to any of these questions, consider dating someone else.
Q. We go out every weekend. Are we dating?
A. Some people go out every day, others meet once a year but still believe they are dating. Couples define these rules. Do you think it's a date? Is there any hint of romance? Are you both meeting other people for romantic walks on the beach? You are the only people who can figure out whether or not you are dating. You should try and let your feelings decide that more than the frequency of your meetings.
Q. He's mean on Twitter, so I don't know if I should continue dating him.
A. A lot of people are mean on Twitter. A lot of people are liars on Facebook. A lot of people are boring on Instagram. Since when did a person's presence or personality online make us ignore what they are like in real life? A lot of people create social media profiles for a variety of reasons. Some like it for the anonymity it offers, others to stalk celebrities or their friends. Some probably create Twitter accounts so they can say stuff they would never say in real life. You should judge him by his behaviour towards you and other people offline, not by his mean streak online. At the very least, give him a chance to explain why he says the things he does to complete strangers.
The inbox is now open to take your most carnal and amorous queries. Send your questions on email to email@example.com

Few people of the many that join Network Marketing come into the business with the skill sets necessary to achieve maximum success. Instead the skills have to be developed, and the mindset for success has to grow.
Indeed we are in a business of success and we are challenging many people to attain a level of thought, belief, and performance that many never before have achieved in life. To do that we have to help people to break out of the stereotypical mental perceptions they have of themselves, their lives, what's possible for them, and even what they deserve.
People are individuals and so individually we all have different challenges that we have to face to learn to become major achievers in this industry and in life. Some of us have notions of ourselves that are very difficult to work with and others it's easier for them. Like I said it is a very individual thing and what's true for one person may not be true for everyone else.
It's one of the fundamental reasons you must have an excellent personal success system that is integrated into your training for your team. It has to be full spectrum. Without it many will perish and others will never achieve the full dream potential they came into the industry with.
Many people say that it is just an unavoidable symptom of the industry and not much can be done about it. I tend to disagree. And I'll tell you why. Success Training is a critical component of MLM Success without it people fail.
Look there are tons of different ways to make money in this industry. Opportunity is ripe…The best of the best are fully refined systems and tools integrated into a whole that isn't hard to set up, put into play, or to succeed with. They take advantage of technology, automation, leverage, and of course for it to become a major success it has to duplicate.
When you have a combination like that with the right company and leadership you are positioned to succeed on a colossal scale.
So why then do people still fail, whine, whimper, moan, and call foul about this industry that is so lucrative and amazingly powerful?
It's because people fail to grow and they fail to apply the personal system of success necessary to succeed, and as a result they are disappointed and need to point the finger somewhere.
It's never enough to have the best product, company, tools, and marketing system. There is always another major and often limiting factor in the success equation…
It's you…
Nothing happens without you… You are your own best product or your greatest liability depending on you, your state of development, belief, mindset, success habits etc. There is no miracle product, business, or button without you and your input. Your business and success can only grow to the extent that you do. It's just a fact of life.
Believe me if your success grows too big for your comfort zone you will find a way to prevent it or stop it altogether by whatever means necessary.
You are the most critical factor in your business' success period! More teams, more leaders, and more distributors need to take this advice to heart. You can have the best tool box full of training, tools, information, and super Guru Strategies, but if your tool box has a leak in it, it's still going to sink. It will take you and your team down with it if you are not prepared.
You plain and simply must have personal success skills and training and you had better make it a priority in your team and in your life. If you don't believe me then it is time to evaluate your life, your success, and the success record and retention rate in your MLM team.

Five Star First Edition Westerns - God's Pocket: A Western Story
Jarbridge, Nevada, hosted the last big gold rush in the continental United States. Milo Goodman was there to witness it. He was seventeen at the time. Milo is of the impression that it should be easy to find the fabulously rich Lost Sheepherder's Mine. He isn't discouraged that he has never prospected for any kind of mineral and might not know what gold looks like if he does find it. The first person he meets in Jarbridge is Dave Bourne. Somehow Milo ends up owning Bourne's saloon business so that Bourne can leave town before he is lynched. God's Pocket is a magnificent story, filled with many unforgettable characters, based on a town that actually once existed, told as only Ken Hodgson can tell it, with style, humor, romance, and drama.
Ken Hodgson was born in the shadow of Pike's Peak in 1945. He and his wife live in San Angelo, Texas.

Career Videos for America's Job Seekers challenge featured on new government-wide website
http://www.challenge.gov to engage members of the public in solving pressing problems
WASHINGTON The U.S. Department of Labor today announced the addition of the Career Videos for America's Job Seekers to a new federal government-wide site, http://www.challenge.gov. The online platform, announced today by the White House at http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/eop/ostp/pressroom, invites the public to help solve our nation's most pressing problems.
"The site announced today is a great example of the president's commitment to encouraging collaboration and participation in government," said Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis. "The Labor Department is always looking for new opportunities to engage the public in our work, and we are excited to have the career video challenge featured on this new site."
The Career Videos for America's Job Seekers challenge is designed to engage the public in creating brief videos that show the day-to-day work of 15 growing occupations. The department will use the videos to inform job seekers about opportunities available in these fields. The top video in each category will receive a $1,000 cash prize.
The new "Challenge" site showcases challenges and competitions throughout the federal government. It is the latest milestone in the administration's commitment to use prizes and challenges to spur innovation. Public input and participation are often the best ways to generate solutions. Increasing awareness of good jobs as is the case with the department's video challenge is just one example of how the new site will help the government solve problems with public input.

At 6 feet tall with legs that could make a supermodel jealous, McKayla Taaffe is easy to spot anywhere. Her black spandex shorts and sleeveless jersey are a dead giveaway that she came directly from a workout, but still she pulls off the appearance of a beauty queen with brunette locks spilling over her shoulders and sunkissed skin.
Since the fifth grade, Taaffe, now a junior at Pine View School, has watched her brothers win numerous medals as they competed in more than 40 world, national, regional and state competitions and championships. This summer, it was finally her time to shine as she claimed a gold medal of her own at the 2010 USRowing Club National Championship, in Oak Ridge, Tenn.
"The regatta was awesome!" Taaffe said. "Racing for the United States is one of the coolest things I've ever done. It was the best feeling when we were waiting at the starting line and they announced us as a junior national team."
It was her hardest yet most gratifying race by far. Taaffe's boat won by only .414 of a second.
"We knew it was going to be really hard if we wanted to win," Taaffe said. "Right from the start, we knew we had to kill it. We were down the first quarter of the race, and halfway though, they (team Essex) were a full boat-length ahead of us. The last 500 meters, something just clicked, and we had a crazy sprint at the end and ended up winning."
To prep for the championship, she endured grueling six to 8-hour workouts for five weeks at development camp in Milford, Conn. Along with about 20 other girls, Taaffe woke up at 6:30 a.m. every morning, walked a mile down to the boathouse and rowed for hours, often adding in core workouts, pushups, weightlifting and other exercises.
"I really want to go to the Olympics when I'm older," Taaffe said. "Each regatta is additional training. The feeling of accomplishment you get when you finish the race — it's nice to have all your time and energy pay off into something.
McKayla Taaffe and Sarah Benderson are spearheading an after-school rowing program called "Reach to Row," which they hope will enable other students to have a similar experience to theirs. Taaffe has produced a video for the program, and Benderson has designed a PowerPoint presentation. The girls hope to partner with the Boys and Girls Club and transport students to Benderson Park, where they will learn the basic parts of the sport.
"Rowing has opened up so many doors for both of us," Taaffe said. "It's a way to learn respect and teamwork and it helps with all sorts of mental capacity. It changes your life."

I finally got round to trying to install it today. That is when I found out it did not work. I went over everything 3 times too. I opened the push button units, took out the tabs that prevented battery contact, made sure the batteries were oriented right, put 3 D batteries into the main bell unit, made sure they were in right, made sure the volume was turned up to high (tried it in the opposite direction too and in the middle),, took out the batteries from the main unit and out them into a flashlight and it shone brightly when I turned it on. I have no way of checking the batteries in the push buttons and am figuring they are the culprits as to what is wrong.
So, as soon as I let off some steam by blogging about it, I am off to Home Depot to make an exchange. Well, actually to get a refund then buy another because they do not allow straight out exchanges which would be so much easier. Happily, I have the receipt. Went there once to bring something back and a manager implied I had stolen it and was returning it to make some money. I got the overall store manager who reamed her a new one much to my satisfaction. As a matter of fact, a few weeks later she was fired for being a jerk toward customers. Most times the folks at Home Depot are nice but that does not make a trip there much easier. I am sure that once I am there I will be thinking of and buying other things I need for the house or garden. There are bound to be way too many other folks there at the same time as me and that is what makes a trip there barely tolerable to miserable. The only good thing is that I can get some things I need for the garden so as to have to make one less trip later when the spring rush is on for garden supplies.
I guess, I'll go right to see my mom after going to Homer's. Then, if I have time, I am going to go to the range to shoot. That always has a calming effect, sort of like meditation or whatever with the concentration and mind/body coordination it takes to do it well. I hope I will have enough time but I will be cutting it close because I have to be home in time for dinner tonight since the daughter's boyfriend is coming over. Speaking of being short on time, I had best get going.
Later 4 U,

Maybe the obvious question is the one no one seems to ask...Why are so many adults and children obese? Percentages are astounding...and they get worse depending on where you are. So what is the reason? Did suddenly all these people develop a gland disease? Those that had a gland disease used to be a very small percentage of the overweight...even when we weren't see such large numbers. Gland disease "used" to make up about 5% of the overweight. If that is the answer...
Now we have 30% obesity in some places...why is that? Are they all suffering from a glandular issue? If so, how did that happen? Is it something they are eating? Is it a toxin in the environment causing it? Why are we not actually asking the right questions and why are we not getting real answers to this "epidemic"...
Is it fear to ask about it? Too much controversy? Maybe someone doesn't want to answer that question for real "conspiracy" reasons. maybe there is a reason other than bad food choices and lack of exercise...

When it comes to natural behaviors and shunning - people are normally judged by their contribution to society. What kind of spouse they are, what kind of parent, is this a person who can be counted on, What kind of job do they have.
In the case of pot smokers, smokers, the obese, drinkers etc. it is a matter of someone coming up with a plan to IMPOSE a different and unnatural set of standards on society using propaganda.

How can you start helping America get off the sugar dealer and on to proper consumption and excercise if you yourself do you expouse those beliefs?

Barbara Walters thinks Chris Christie is too fat to be president
There is a concerted effort by a specific segment of society to isolate and harass another segment of society based solely on their weight.
Chris Christie has been a high profile victim of this harassment. In her interview with him, Barbara Walters raised an issue completely irelevant to his ability to govern this country should Christie decide to run for the presidency in 2016 - his weight.
Christie's excess poundage has absolutely nothing to do with his fitness to run the United States. It doesn't hinder his ability to make command decisions or to move about the city, state or country he is in.

Sohei is basically a Barbarian, except Lawful. Rather than flying into a rage, they focus intensely on "martial energy" or some similar variety of Oriental new-age woo. With 5E abandoning Alignment restrictions, you pretty much just have to rewrite the fluff (allow wearing of armor, drop access to the Beast Spirit subclass, etc), and Barbarian will work reasonably well for Sohei. You might import a few Paladin class features and the idea of an oath, since Sohei are also Paladin-esque (though not necessarily Good).

A second public hearing has been scheduled to give citizens a chance to voice concerns they have about a controversial coal ash landfill proposed for Labadie.
The hearing will be held Wednesday, July 10, at 5 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus Hall, lower level, 1121 Columbus Lane, Washington.
A second public hearing was needed because many people were unable to testify since so many people attended the first hearing, according to the Missouri Public Service Commission.
Ameren Missouri is seeking permission from the PSC to expand the boundaries of its Labadie Energy Center for the landfill.
Some residents, many of whom are with the Labadie Environmental Organization, say they are concerned about the landfill's impact on health and the environment. They say that the landfill would be built in a floodway and floodplain of the Missouri River and that another location should be used.
LEO has also filed a lawsuit, which is in the Missouri Court of Appeals Eastern District in St. Louis, alleging that Franklin County illegally adopted zoning regulations allowing for the landfill.
But Ameren officials say the landfill would be safe with liners, groundwater monitoring wells and comply with many government regulations.
The 800-acre landfill "footprint" would include access roads, groundwater monitoring equipment and the actual coal ash landfill. The coal ash storage would only be about 167 acres, according to Ameren.
Ameren wants the landfill operational by April of 2016 and hopes that it will provide enough storage space for 24 years.
The landfill would be built in several phases with Phase 1 costing $27 million.
Ameren officials say the landfill is needed because the coal ash waste storage ponds at the power plant are reaching capacity.
DNR Permits
In addition to seeking approval from the PSC for the landfill, Ameren is also going through a permitting process with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
Ameren has submitted to DNR an application for a solid waste disposal area construction permit, and it is under review.
Ameren must still submit to DNR applications for a solid waste disposal area operating permit and a land disturbance permit.
There must also be modifications made to the national pollutant discharge elimination system permit.

Nike Golf opens Performance Fitting Center in Edinburgh, Scotland
Courtesy of Nike Golf
In a first for Nike Golf, the company has opened its first Nike Performance Fitting Center at Archerfield Links Estate in New Berwick, Scotland, just outiside of Edinburgh.
The facility includes the full range of Nike equipment and technology, and was created to give golfers of all skill levels the same custom-fitting experience that Nike provides its tour players. Golfers visiting the center also get access to Archerfield's elite coaching panel, which includes former Ryder Cup player Andrew Coltart and European Tour coach Gary Nicol.
"This incredible facility takes club fitting to another level," said Rory McIlroy, who was on hand for the grand opening. "It's so impressive that Nike is providing the consumer the same type of service that we get as Nike athletes."
Golfers looking for a complete experience can sign up for a three-day package that features full club and ball fitting, game assessment, physical fitness consultation and a playing lesson on either the Fidra or Dirleton Links at Archerfield. The cool part: You get fit for clubs on Day 1, and they're delivered in time for your on-course playing lesson. Golfers also get a distance mapping session to get familiar with their new sticks.
"Today marks a critical step in our journey as we deliver an experience designed to serve the golfer in fitting and performance," said Nike Golf President Cindy Davis. "It's not enough to simply make great product – we have to serve our consumer with world-class experiences that enable them to unlock their true potential. Our partnership with Archerfield, an authentic site located on Scotland's Golf Coast, does just that."
In addition to the two stunning courses designed by DJ Russell, the Archerfield Links Estate boasts a 17th century Mansion House with a spa (recently voted in the top-six new spas in Europe), a gym and a range of luxurious accommodations just outside Edinburgh. This facility provides easy access by road, rail and air.
The Nike Fitting Performance Center joins a growing collection of performance and fitting centers operated by leading equipment companies. These also include the TaylorMade Center of Excellence in Herzogenaurach, Germany, and the Titleist Performance Institute in Oceanside, Calif.

I need to know how much capacity in TB bios version A09 will support.
Dell has decent support forums where someone will help you out on this.
FWIW I have never thought it a good idea to use laptops to store important data. Laptops are too fragile and by simply dropping one, you may lose everything.

I have worked on many Dell laptops including my own. I would venture to guess you can't buy a hard drive too large for your 1520. (larger than 2TB would be too big, but you can't yet buy one that large for a laptop). The old limit (from about eight years ago) was 137GB but that's long gone. The new limit is 2TB; the new UEFI BIOSes handle larger partitions than 2TB.
[I could explain why these limits existing, but it's a long story.]
However, to be sure, I would update your BIOS (if a newer BIOS is available) from Dell's website before installing a very large hard drive. I recently worked on an HP from about 2005-2006 that still had the 137GB limit bug - easily fixed with a BIOS update, though. I was surprised.
The old Latitude D620 and D820 are very rugged though.

NEW PORT RICHEY — Deputies arrested a man Tuesday after, they say, he twisted a 2-year-old boy's nipples so hard they came off.
The boy was in the care of Thomas Gordon Matheson, 27, on Friday night while the boy's mother was at work, a Pasco County Sheriff's Office report states. Matheson would later tell deputies he and the boy were "playing rough," the report states, when he grabbed the boy's nipples and twisted them.
The toddler's grandmother saw the injuries and called the Sheriff's Office.
Though the boy was shirtless, the report states, Matheson told deputies he didn't notice the child's injuries until later that night.
The toddler was taken to Morton Plant North Bay Hospital, where doctors said the skin was unlikely to grow back, the report said.
Matheson, of 7280 Broadmoor Drive, Apartment 4, was charged with child abuse. He remained Wednesday at the Land O'Lakes jail without bail.

Orange-tinted meat, diced tomato, and a few lettuce bit were my singular conception of the taco from age one to something-teen. Anyone else? Oh, I forgot something. The crunchy shell. The tooth-cracking yellow case—well, let's not talk about that anymore.
I am so glad that at some point real tacos were introduced into my taco-impaired schema. You know, the kind with slow-simmered shredded meat, slathered in cheese, guacamole, and pico de gallo or garden salsa? And wrapped in a lovely, soft, flour tortilla? THAT kind of taco. (PS, if your idea of the idea of the exalted taco is still ground beef hidden in a yellow crunch-crunch, you might want to leave before I reveal this recipe. It's probably not for you.)
Nothing will ever supplant a legit shredded-meat-cheese-and-salsa taco. But, the tacos I am about to share with you are a really fantastic way to change up your Taco Tuesdays. The flavors make for a fabulous fresh meal that will have you wondering why you never thought to put sweet potatoes in a tortilla before. (PPS—if your idea of sweet potatoes is still those squishy canned yams smothered in marshmallow soup, the idea of sweet potatoes in a taco is probably abhorrent. We need to fundamentally change your ideas about how sweet potatoes can look, smell, and taste. No mush, no marshmallows. Amen)
In this recipe, you're going to peel and dice your sweet potato, coat it with some oil and spices, and place it on a tray in the oven to roast. Meanwhile, you'll sauté a chopped onion to caramel-y perfection, add in the garlic, beans, and corn, and toss them in honey and lime juice. Then pull the sweet potatoes out of the oven and toss them into the skillet along with a little chopped cilantro. Serve with your favorite toppings (I'm thinking avocados plus some cotija/queso fresco or crema), and you're done. Once you've made this a couple times, it will become one of the fastest fresh meals you can make. It takes me only 20 minutes to get it on the table, largely because the recipe is easy to memorize and hard to mess up!
I never guessed the textures and flavors of honey, lime, sweet potatoes, black beans, corn, and caramelized onions could make such a delicious taco. Tell me what you think!
- 1 ½ lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2 –inch pieces
- 4 TBS oil, divided
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp ground coriander
- 1/8-1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- ½ tsp salt (more to taste)
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped (1 cup)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 (14.5 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup corn, drained (about ½ can)
- 3 Tablespoons honey
- 3 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (or more to taste)
- Flour tortillas
- Optional toppings: Diced avocados, cheese (such as cotija, queso fresco, feta, Monterey, pepperjack), fresh salsa or pico de gallo
Preheat oven to 425* F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
Place sweet potatoes on foil-lined sheet. Drizzle 3 TBS of the oil over the sweet potatoes and toss them with your hands until coated. Sprinkle the paprika, cumin, coriander, cayenne, and salt and pepper and toss with your hands again until coated evenly. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until tender.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 TBSP of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and sauté until they turn golden-brown and taste sweet. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds more. Reduce heat and add in the black beans, corn, honey, and lime juice. When everything is heated through, remove from the heat and stir in the sweet potatoes and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve in warm tortillas with your favorite toppings.

What does dilemma mean?
Definitions for dilemmadɪˈlɛm ə
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word dilemma.
Princeton's WordNet
dilemma, quandary(noun)
state of uncertainty or perplexity especially as requiring a choice between equally unfavorable options
A circumstance in which a choice must be made between two or more alternatives that seem equally undesirable.
(disputed) A difficult circumstance or problem.
A type of syllogism of the form "if A is true then B is true; if C is true then D is true; either A or C is true; therefore either B or D is true".
Offering to an opponent a choice between two (equally unfavorable) alternatives.
Webster Dictionary
an argument which presents an antagonist with two or more alternatives, but is equally conclusive against him, whichever alternative he chooses
a state of things in which evils or obstacles present themselves on every side, and it is difficult to determine what course to pursue; a vexatious alternative or predicament; a difficult choice or position
Origin: [L. dilemma, Gr. ; di- = di`s- twice + to take. See Lemma.]
A dilemma is a problem offering two possibilities, neither of which is practically acceptable. One in this position has been traditionally described as "being on the horns of a dilemma", neither horn being comfortable. This is sometimes more colorfully described as "Finding oneself impaled upon the horns of a dilemma", referring to the sharp points of a bull's horns, equally uncomfortable. The dilemma is sometimes used as a rhetorical device, in the form "you must accept either A, or B"; here A and B would be propositions each leading to some further conclusion. Applied incorrectly, it constitutes a false dichotomy, a fallacy.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
di-lem′a, n. a form of argument in which the maintainer of a certain proposition is committed to accept one of two alternative propositions each of which contradicts his original contention: a position where each of two alternative courses (or of all the feasible courses) is eminently undesirable: a trying practical difficulty. The argument was called a 'horned syllogism,' and the victim compared to a man certain to be impaled on one or other of the horns of an infuriated bull, hence the Horns of a dilemma: the usual phrase Landed in a dilemma is, or suggests, a mixed metaphor.—adj. Dilemmat′ic. [L.,—Gr. dilēmma—di-, twice, double, lēmma, an assumption—lambanein, to take.]

Via The Valve, a portfolio of photographs by Jill Krementz of writers and their dogs.
Tag: Dogs
You know it has been a cold week when 20 degrees feels warm. Went out & filled the bird feeders, shoveled last night's inch of snow off the porch, started the old Subaru to see if it would go (cranked right over on the first try), and generally breathed outdoor air. When Carole gets home from the barn, the dogs are going to get their first walk in several days.
Happy New Year
It was only an accident that I was awake for the actual moment of the new year's arrival. Neither Carole nor I have been awake for the turning of the year in many years and last night we went to bed, as usual, around eleven o'clock, but one of the terriers woke me up jumping on or off the bed at about five to twelve. I can't read an alarm clock without my glasses, so we have one of those old-fogie jobs that projects the time on the ceiling. The dog settled back down and I lay there watching the red numbers tick away to midnight. Very peaceful. This morning we drank black coffee & ate steel-cut oats with dried cherries, pecans, and brown sugar. I put half & half in my cereal; Carole virtuously put buttermilk in hers.
So anyway, every once in a while my friend (and frequent commenter on this blog) Ed Mycue sends me a sheaf of poems, which I read and put in a folder. Yesterday as I was trying to organize some manuscripts and drafts in a file drawer, I pulled out a stack of Ed's poems. This one was on top — I think it may have arrive around this time last year — and I thought it would make a good New Year statement. Tempus fugit & all that.
Wellness Report
i press on slogging through the daily shit with a silly smile on my lips possibly. up to my ankles in new ideas and dead friends. you can't stay mad at life although madness is a condition with a long tail. and has a zoom lens. the labyrinth snakes through dreams switching evolutions and exchanging stigmas. ah me, said the iceland singer as she took another swing at the australian paparazzi.
That pretty much sums it up, I think. I've put out fresh suet and scattered seeds for the winter birds — it was ten below this morning when we woke up, but the sun is shining & we have a roaring fire going in the wood stove
Between Storms
Just went out into a bright, sunny afternoon to shovel the walks and deck clear of last night's foot of snow. It's cold — hovering around zero — so the snow is light and easy to move. I cut a racetrack around the dogrun in back so that the terriers wouldn't be over their heads. Have to keep ahead of the shoveling, though, since the forecast is for another foot starting tonight. As I was taking a break & leaning on my snow shovel, I stood still near the bird feeder and let the chickadees fly up and down around me, cold enough that I could hear the beating of their wings. All the while I was there, a harry woodpecker braced himself against the pole with his tail and pecked at the suet I'd put out yesterday. The sun was remarkably warm for December, though the air was cold, & we were all enjoying it, I think, the animal pleasure of warm sun in mid-winter.
Dogs & Justice
Fred Clark points to interesting research that shows that a dog has a basic sense of fairness, at least when they are the ones being treated unfairly. If you have two dogs who know how to "shake" and you put them side by side, then ask them to shake, but reward only one with a treat, the one who doesn't get rewarded will fairly quickly lose interest in cooperating with you. Clark also points out that the press reports of the research make a common error, confusing justice with envy, then makes an analogy to human justice:
The researchers might have conducted a parallel study while carrying out this research. They could have hired two graduate assistants, telling each of them that they would be paid $100 at the end of each day's research. And then, at the end of each day, they could have paid the first assistant, but not the second — not the underdog. My theory is that the underdog would quickly become "less and less inclined" to continue showing up for work.
In the case of these hypothetical assistants, of course, no one would mischaracterize the unpaid underdog's response as "envious." She might be angry, but she'd be refusing to cooperate not because she's jealous of the other assistant, but because she is the victim of an injustice — because the situation is clearly unfair. Her response is not motivated by envy but by a sense of justice.
The Times and National Geographic reports on the actual study do not allow for the possibility that a similar motive is at work in the dog's response. They don't seem to recognize the significant and crucial distinction between "angry at unfair treatment" and "envious." National Geographic stumbles toward a clarification, conceding that "this kind of envy" is "really an aversion to unequal reward," but then their article goes right back to using the word envy as though these two things were reliably interchangeable.
This particular confusion is, sadly, quite popular. We hear exactly this same bit of madness almost constantly from apologists for irresponsible wealth. Express any concern about inequality or about the plight of those who have less than the minimum amount they need to get by and they will say you are guilty of "the politics of envy." Try to explain the distinction and they will, in turn, explain that they understand what you're saying, they simply reject it. "Justice," they will insist, is simply a polite euphemism for disguised envy. The virtue is just a mask for the vice.
It's not surprising that they would argue such a thing. Of course they don't believe there's any such thing as justice in this life or any other. That's what they're banking on. Envy they accept as real. Justice they regard as mere superstition.
Animal Cruelty
In a comment to the previous post, Chris Robinson makes reference to a poem from my book Magical Thinking. We bear a special responsibility, greater perhaps than the responsibility we bear toward each other, to care for animals. Whichever philosopher said that we reveal our character through our treatment of those weaker than ourselves was right, I think. Here is the poem.
Abandoned Bluetick Bitch
Numbed with self-loathing,
we abandon the emissaries
of grace. Chained to a tree
beside the empty rental
she hollowed out a den
for herself & her young.
By the time we found her
the water they'd left her
was a couple of days gone.
When the water was gone
she would have slept, not dreaming,
letting the pups nurse
her sparse milk & when
the smallest died she ate it to keep
her strength & cleanse the den,
depriving coy dogs & foxes
an expedient scent.
It's likely there were two more
before we found her.
Ribs covered by a tissue of dry skin,
she was nothing-a shadow
on the dirt & was just able
to raise her head & take
a little water from my hand
before turning to nose
her three live pups awake.
Reader, it is true, there is
horror everywhere worse
than this & cruelty that beggars
imagination, but this
is local & particular; these were
my neighbors did this,
who, without even the excuse
of psychosis, committed this wrong.
Who live in this same light
& shadow I live in.
Let us kill one another
with heedless abandon-we deserve it-
but not these poor relations
whose lives are without malice
& whose motives are transparent.
Let us kill one another.

Whether it's building new roads, extending transit service, encouraging bicycle travel or doing anything else to improve the future of transportation in Douglas and four other nearby counties, people should keep three investment aspects in mind, a new study suggests.
Three investment perspectives — regarding environmental, social and economic costs and benefits — should be considered as part of a "triple bottom line approach" for making decisions that support a sustainable transportation future, according to draft recommendations included in the new 5-County Regional Transportation Plan.
The plan's recommendations are being revealed this afternoon, as part of a series of online and in-person meetings for the public in the five counties included in the study: Douglas, Johnson, Leavenworth, Wyandotte and Miami.
The recommendations are part of the first phase of the study. The second phase remains on hold, as the Kansas Department of Transportation cited budget cuts in suspending the process.
The next phase, whenever it comes, will be expected to identify projects, procedures and related policies and other matters that could implement the study's goals.
Among the recommendations in the report thus far would be to make what are described as "sustainable" transportation investments.
"Making sustainable investments means to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs," the study says. "The 5-County Region is urban, suburban and rural, which may require a better understanding and consideration of a wider range of factors than those applied statewide and a multidimensional strategy.
"Now, more than ever, long-term stewardship of resources should be the focus."
Officials will present the recommendations in person from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical Station No. 5, 1911 Stewart Ave.
The study is the work of KDOT, the Mid-America Regional Council, Lawrence-Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Organization, Kansas Turnpike Authority and involved counties and cities.
