1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a system for monitoring of the level of fuel for a dwelling's heating unit wherein the level is displayed remotely at a thermostat in the dwelling.
2. The State of the Art
Dwelling units typically are heated using as energy sources one or more of gas, oil, or electricity. Energy sources with fuel stored locally at the dwelling include oil and other liquid fuels (e.g., propane); natural gas and electricity are typically available from a distributed system and so are not stored locally at the dwelling unit.
Especially in the Northeast United States, a significant number of homes are heated with oil. The oil is generally stored in a tank adjacent to the dwelling unit, and a pump associated with the tank pumps the oil to a heating unit within the dwelling. The occupant of the dwelling, or an oil delivery service, periodically must check the oil level in the tank and, if necessary, order more oil from an oil delivery service if the tank is running low. In domestic oil tanks, the level is typically measured using either a dipstick or a simple flotation device (described below and generally shown in FIG. 2).
There are quite a number of patented and commercialized devices for determining, sometimes remotely, the level of liquid in a tank, some of which are now described. Krehel et al. (U.S. Pat. No. 4,524,617) describe a fuel gauge for a propane tank, such as used with a portable gas grill for cooking, comprising a scale that weighs the tank and thereby estimates the amount of fuel remaining therein. Parker (U.S. Pat. No. 5,323,652) describes a level indicator comprising a thermochromic strip that senses and displays (through a thermochromic material) the temperature difference on the outside of the tank resulting from the cooling effect of liquid propane adjacent the strip. Koon (U.S. Pat. No. 5,005,407) describes a level indicator for a tank including a sensing strip attached to a power source to cause the strip to generate an electrostatic filed that changes proportionally to the level in the tank; the sensed level can be displayed remotely. Stinson (U.S. Pat. No. 4,480,610) describes a remote oil level indicator, especially for sensing a low level in a fuel tank for an internal combustion engine (e.g., for an automobile) by sensing the pressure change in a closed tubular conduit disposed in the tank below the fuel level line. Clarkson (U.S. Pat. No. 4,459,584) discloses an automatic liquid level indicator and alarm system utilizing a float connected to a line having magnets thereon and the position of the magnets is sensed to determine the level of liquid in the tank. The disclosures of all of these patents are incorporated herein by reference. Various other level indicators and switching devices are manufactured and/or sold by such entities as IMO Industries, Inc. (Gem Sensors Div., Plainville, Conn.), Advanced Control Technology, Inc. (Bloomington, Minn.), KIP Incorporated (Farmington, Conn.), and Madison Co. (Branford, Conn.); radar level gauges (available from Endress+Hauser, Greenwood, Ind.), akin to sensors for focussing automatic cameras, are also suitable. Various thermostat manufacturers including Honeywell Corp. (Home and Building Control Div., Golden Valley, Minn.), Hunter Fan Co. (Memphis, Tenn.), Emerson Elec. Co. (White Rogers Div., St. Louis, Mo.), and Robertshaw Control Co. (Long Beach, Calif.).
The unappreciated problem yet to be addressed by any of these patents and manufacturing/sales entities is an easy way to remotely sense the level of fuel in the tank and to display that information in a useful and convenient manner to the occupant of the dwelling. At present, as noted above, the occupant (or the oil delivery service) must periodically monitor the oil level in the tank to assure a timely order for more fuel oil and avoid freezing the pipes. For the elderly, and in bad weather, it may be very difficult to ascertain the level of fuel in the tank, so that the possibility of running out of heating fuel becomes a real possibility. When the fuel tank is outside or in a basement, a disabled or handicapped individual (e.g., one requiring crutches or a wheelchair, or otherwise unable to traverse stairs) may not physically be able to check the level of the fuel tank, thus requiring reliance on another person to periodically check the tank level.
In view of the foregoing, it is an object of this invention to provide a remote sensing thermostat unit that controls the heating unit and also displays the level in the fuel storage tank.
Another object of the invention is to provide such a remote sensing and display unit that is relatively inexpensive and/or is easy to install, especially where the dwelling owner can install the device without professional assistance.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide such a remote sensing and display unit that provides an alarm to the dwelling occupants if a low level condition exists.
Still another object of the invention is to provide such a remote sensing unit that functions in the absence of electricity, either from the general power company's grid or locally, in the event of an electric power failure.
Yet still another object of this invention is to provide a system that can be implemented easily by retrofitting an existing system, and especially without modifying the storage tank.
These and other object will become apparent upon a perusal of this specification and the appended claims.
In summary, in one embodiment the invention comprises a system for heating a dwelling unit that comprises (a) a fuel storage tank, (b) a sensing device for measuring the level of fuel in the tank and for transmitting a signal indicative of said level, and (c) a remote display device comprising (i) a thermostat for controlling a heating unit for heating the dwelling, said heating unit operating on the fuel in said storage tank, and (ii) a device for receiving the transmitted signal and displaying said signal to indicate the level of fuel in the tank.
In various other embodiments, the system can be used with any liquid or liquified heating composition stored in a tank. The system can be provided with an alarm that indicates a low level condition in the tank; the alarm can be audio and/or visual, and/or can be sent and received remotely (such as via telephone lines) to an oil service supply company (who is then notified that the tank needs to be filled). The system can also be embodied in a home/personal computer that can remotely check the thermostat settings and readings (temperature and tank level).

FIG. 2 depicts a side view of a commonly used float level indicator for oil storage tanks.
FIGS. 3A and 4 depict idealized side views of embodiments of the present invention for sensing the fuel level in the storage tank; and FIG. 3B depicts an idealized detailed view of a portion of the sensing apparatus shown in FIG. 3A.
FIG. 5 depicts one embodiment of a system according to the present invention.
The present invention is generally directed to a combined thermostat and fuel level display for a dwelling unit. As shown in FIG. 1, the dwelling unit 101 typically includes a fuel storage tank 103 adjacent the unit or set off some small distance from the dwelling. The oil (or other liquid fuel) from the tank is pumped (not shown) to the heating unit (not shown) that is typically in the basement or a back room of the dwelling. The level of liquid fuel in the tank can be measured with a dipstick or with a simple float device.
An example of a commonly used flotation device is shown in FIG. 2 and generally cost less than twenty dollars. The device generally includes a threaded neck 201 for threading into an associated opening in the top of the storage tank (not shown) and a flange 203 at the top of the neck. Attached to and depending from the neck structure is a depending arm 205 that extends into the tank. At the end of the arm opposite from the neck is a pivot 207 or hinge to which a lower arm 209 is pivotally attached. At the end of the lower arm opposite from that attached to the pivot is a float 211, generally a cork. In operation, with the neck portion fixed to the tank, changes in the level will cause the float to move up or down. A sensing rod 213 is attached to the lower arm and has attached to its opposite portion a display target 215, enclosed in a protective, typically transparent or translucent, cover 217. As the level changes, the cork level changes and, as the cork moves, the lower arm rotates about the pivot and forces the sensing rod, and the attached display target, also to move in the same direction as the level; the amount by which the display target moves with respect to the float depends upon the distance from the pivot at which the sensing rod is attached to the lower arm.
Although other, more sophisticated and/or expensive level sensors can be used in practicing the present invention, this simple type of device is preferable because it is inexpensive, widely available, and can be installed in many storage tanks without modification of the tank or the float device.
Continuing with the description of the invention used with the typical level monitoring float shown in FIG. 2, one embodiment of the level sensing and transmitting part of the present invention is shown in FIG. 3A. As shown therein, a housing 301 is provided in a geometry cooperating with the geometry of the protective cover of the float device to effectively enclose the display target 215 therein and to protect the sensing device from the elements (if located outside). The display target is typically a white-colored ball or disk affixed atop the end of the sensing rod. In the absence of this invention, the dwelling owner would have to venture outside and visually observe the position of the display target within the protective cover to estimate the amount of oil remaining the tank. (As alluded to, this invention is being described in the environment of an oil fuel storage tank; yet it should be understood that the invention is applicable to any liquid fuel stored for heating a dwelling (i.e., a structure occupied by people, animals, and or plants, generally living things, regardless of whether the people therein are residing or working). With the present invention, the sensing housing 301 is disposed over the protective cover 217 of the float and the position of the display target 215 can be determined by various means. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the position sensing device 303 associated with the housing includes a harness or frame that contains a series of photoelectric sensors 305 of types well known in the art, which can use white light or laser light (e.g., an LED emitting IR); disposed orthogonally across the protective cover. The position sensing device contains one or a series of light generating devices 307 that transmit light across and through the protective cover to the photoelectric sensors on the other side. The essential criterion is that the display target should be of a size sufficient to block the transmission of light through the cover. The level of oil in the tank will determine the height of the display target, and the relative vertical position of the display target will block light from a particular light generating device from reaching an associate sensor on the other side of the cover. It is then a simple matter to determine, from the verticalmost photoelectric sensor that is not activated (i.e., the light is blocked) the approximate height of the fuel level.
FIG. 3B depicts a more detailed view of an embodiment of the light generating device 305 shown in FIG. 3A. Preferably the structures for the light generating devices and the photoelectric sensors are comprised of a flex circuit (e.g., a printed circuit board on a flexible substrate). As such, depicted in FIG. 3B are a substrate 309 or other preferably flexible frame onto which a wiring circuit 311 is integrated on the outer side. The inner side that will be facing the protective cover has mounted thereon the series of light generating devices 313 (such as an series of LEDs). These devices are disposed behind a wall having a series of apertures 315 through which light from the light generating devices passes and is focussed into a narrow beam for reception by a corresponding photoelectric sensor. Preferably atop the device, within the protective housing, are one or more integrated circuit chips 317 (e.g., ASIC chips) for performing the control logic, such as cycling on and off the light generating devices and/or converting the signals from the photoelectric cells into a signal for transmission to the thermostat.
It is perhaps important to note, consistent with the intent of the invention to provide a simple and inexpensive system, that the exact level of fuel is not a particular concern. That is, it is generally sufficient to know at least when there is a level of about 10%-30% (of the total level) in order to timely order more oil. Accordingly, it is preferred to have at least two sensors (e.g., at 10% and 25% level), and perhaps not more than about four sensors (e.g., at 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% level) in order to minimize the cost of manufacture (fewer sensors means less capital spent on sensors and less labor to install, wire, and test those sensors in each device manufactured).
The light generating devices and the photoelectric sensors can be powered by the domestic electric supply (typically 115 v AC). More preferably, oil tanks typically have an associated oil pump that operates on 24 v DC. This DC power source for the pump can also be used to power these same components in the present device. Additionally, for tanks stored in a basement in which the oil burner is located, there is a 24 v DC (or other power) source for the ignition of the oil burners; this source of power can also be routed to the sensor of the present invention. It is preferred that the duty cycle of the light generating devices be kept to a minimum, especially when the present invention is powered locally by a battery, to minimize power consumption. For an outdoor, above ground tank, a solar cell can be provided to recharge the battery. Various jurisdictions, such as portions of Connecticut, now require fuel storage tanks to be housed in the interior of the dwelling, such as in the basement, to minimize environmental damage cause by release (such as leaking) of the toxic oil.
In another embodiment of the invention, depicted in FIG. 4, the display target at the top of the sensing rod, as well as the rod itself, have been modified so that the upper part of the sensing rod 401 is electrically isolated from the main rod 213 by an insulating material 403 (at least electrically insulating). The inside surface of the cover is provided as a support to an electrically resistive surface 405 against which the tip 407 of the sensing rod rides vertically. A voltage source (not shown, but it can likewise be 115 v AC or 24 v DC, or a small battery such as a 9 v) is connected between the upper part of the sensing rod and one of the ends of the resistive surface, and the amount of current passing through the rod and the resistive surface to complete a circuit provides a measure of the total resistance, and thus the vertical position along the resistive surface where the tip of the rod contacts. This embodiment, although operative, is not preferred because of the potential for an electric spark, which could ignite fumes in the tank. Accordingly, it would be preferable to provide a vapor seal to isolate the area displayed under the protective cover from the fumes in the tank, which seal must also provide for the translation of mechanical motion from the sensing rod to the display target.
The level sensing can also be performed non-electrically, such as the pneumatic system disclosed by Stinson in U.S. Pat. No. 4,480,610, described above. As another embodiment, the upper portion of the sensing can be attached to a wheel fixed onto a shaft, and the angular movement of the wheel (analogous to the vertical motion of the target), can be measured and transmitted as indicative of the level of fuel in the tank.
However the liquid level is measured, the signal is preferably transduced into an electrical signal indicative of the level of fuel in the tank. With an embodiment of the invention as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, preferably the chip is programmed to perform simple logic to provide a signal indicative of the level of liquid fuel in the tank; as noted above, the sensing apparatus can be provided on a flex circuit so that the light generating device, photoelectric cells, and chips are operably associated with each other. The signal indicative of the level can be analog or digital. One method is using pulse code modulation (or pulse width modulation); for example, with four sensors and LEDs, if the duty cycle for sending a signal is 100 ms (0.1 s), each 25 ms can be representative of one of the level sensors, so that a pulse width of 50 ms indicates that two of the four sensors are occluded, and a pulse width of 100 ms indicates that the none of the four sensors are occluded. Alternatively, the sensor outputs can be fed to a comparator and the output inverted so that a pulse width of 100 ms indicates that all four of the sensors are occluded. Other devices for sensing the mechanical position of the target include differential transformers, inductance bridges, bellows, pneumatic amplifiers and pilot relays, an electronic force balance. See generally, e.g., Chemical Engineers'Handbook, 5th Ed. (New York: McGraw-Hill Book Co., 1973), Chpt. 22 "Process Control." Yet another method includes providing a magnet for the target and replacing the light generating sources (and associated photocells) with magnetic switches; the relative position of the switch actuated by the position of the magnetic target effectively encodes the relative level of the tank.
Although not necessary to a certain extent, the present device should be calibrated with respect to the full movement of the target. That is, the sensors are preferably calibrated to accommodate the desired range of movement of the target, and the target is calibrated thereto to assure that the entire range of levels (or at least the entire lower range) can be displayed by the target and read by the sensors. Calibration depends, to some extent, on the type of sensors used and the logic associated with the sensor operation. For example, assuming that a magnetic target with magnet sensors is being used, calibration includes assuring that the bottommost sensor is activated when the target is at its lowest position when the tank is, in reality, empty. This type of calibration assures that the bottom range of the level determination is fully considered.
Depicted in FIG. 5 is an idealized view of an embodiment of the present system. The oil tank 501 has a level of liquid fuel 503 determined by a floatation device 505 the moves a target outside of the tank in a vertical direction within a protected chamber 507 surrounded by a device 509 for sensing and transmitting the vertical extent that the target moves within the chamber. The sensed signal is translated into an indication of the level range being measured to provide a level-indicating signal.
As suggested above, it is not necessary to cover the entire range of levels within the tank, especially when the intent is to provide warning that the tank is running low (rather than running high). The level-indicating signal can be transmitted as a pulsed code modulation or as an analog signal; for example, on a 5 v system (scaled so that 0 v is empty and 5 v is full) the logic can be designed so that 1 v is 20% level and 2 v is 40% level. The voltage range of the system can be scaled so that, for example, 5 v indicates 50% level and 1 v indicates 10% level. This choice is also dependent upon the logic, circuitry, and input requirements at the thermostat side, discussed just below. Desktop computer systems typically operate on about 5 v at about 20 ma, and portable (so-called laptop model) computers on slightly lower voltages. Accordingly, the present system is easily implemented using conventional components. The level-indicating signal can be electrical and sent along a wire, cable, or other metallic data transmitting structure 511 or can be converted into a light signal (such as infra-red) and transmitted optically along a fiber, or can be sent by radio frequency since the distance is likely to be rather small (probably less than 200 feet in a majority of instances). Further signal processing, including noise reduction, amplification, and/or scaling can be performed along the way in a given device 513 using well-known and existing technology. The level-indicating signal is eventually received by a receiving device associated with a thermostat 515, preferably disposed in the dwelling. Thermostat technology is well-known and is not discussed herein in detail. A thermostat face, as shown in FIG. 5, usually has a multiposition toggle switch 517 moveable between heating, cooling, and shutdown for setting the operating mode of the system (heating, cooling, off). Such a thermostat typically also has an variable position toggle 519 for setting the desired temperature setpoint. (A thermostat is essentially a controller: a temperature set point is selected, and if the error between the set point and the actual temperature differs by more than a predetermined amount and/or changes by more or less than a given amount or rate, then the system attempts to take action to adjust the sensed temperature.) Such devices typically also include an indication of the actual temperature, such as a needle 521 attached to a thermometer and having the typically same scale as used for the temperature set point toggle indicator. (This facilitates measurement of the error from the set point since both the set point and the actual temperature are determined as vertical or arcuate movements along the same scale.) Using analog electrical signals, an electrical level-indicating signal transmission line includes two and preferably includes three wires. One wire is a signal ground, another is for data communication (voltage differences relative to the signal ground), and an optional third is a control line. The control line can be used to poll the level sensing device so that the device has a very low duty cycle. A fourth and fifth wire, for power and power ground, can also be used if there is no remote source of power or if such is not desirable. The data transmission rate can be designed depending upon the available power. For example, if only a battery is available, then a low power consumption can be used to drive a clock on the chip, and a level-indicating signal sent only during specified periods (e.g., every 15 minutes); a continuously available power source can offer higher transmission rates.
Thus, a signal indicative of the liquid fuel level can be sent as an encoded signal. Alternatively, the level signal can be modulated on existing lines in the dwelling. For example, using the existing thermostat control wires that lead to the oil burner, the level signal can be transduced to a bandwidth not used by those lines, transmitted thereon, and converted at the thermostat to a signal that can be displayed for the homeowner. The use of existing lines simplifies the installation of the device, avoiding the running of additional wires and/or associated conduits. Another, analogous alternative is to transduce the level signal into an RF signal that can easily be transmitted the relatively short distance to the thermostat (similar to home devices, such as Rabbit brand transmitters, for transmitting by radio frequency, a cable television signal from one location in a home to another). Still another alternative is to use the existing AC lines in the house, convert the level signal to a bandwidth not used in those AC lines and transmit the level signal on the AC lines or use the 60 Hz power cycle as a carrier frequency over which the level signal is modulated; such types of transmissions are presently done by devices that allow AC lines to be used to move telephone connections within a home (having an associated transmitter and receiver that each plugs into a convention AC socket) and, more recently, also used to send video signals over the AC lines.
In the present invention, the signal from the level measuring device is transduced into a display for the dwelling shown at the thermostat. The display can be in a variety of forms, such as an arcuately travelling needle as in a car's gas tank (or the temperature indicator 521 of the thermostat), it can be provided as a series of lights with indicia defining each light as a certain amount of fuel, or as an LCD display in percent, amount of fuel, or a simulation of an arcuate needle. The embodiment shown in FIG. 5 depicts a needle 523 moving arcuately in a display 525 having indicia showing the amount of fuel in the tank ("E" for empty, "F" for full). When the volume of the tank is known, and the float and the sensor apparatus of this invention have been calibrated, the level can be displayed as the number of gallons of fuel used and/or remaining, using simple arithmetic circuits, and a running count of gallons (or liters) of fuel used (or averaged as a daily and/or monthly and/or yearly value) can be calculated and displayed.
In further embodiments, the thermostat can include logic circuits to signal a visual alarm through a light 527 and/or an audio alarm through a speaker 529 for a low or low low alarm condition. Still further, the logic circuitry can be operably associated with a preprogrammed modem to automatically dial the oil supply company when the oil level reaches a certain minimum value.
In another embodiment, the system can be implemented or supplemented on a home/personal computer. Various of the above-mentioned manufacturers of thermostats also manufacture programmable thermostats. These devices include IC (integrated circuit) chips and a user-addressable touch pad for programming; typically, the programming capabilities are limited to setting different temperature set points for different times of the day (e.g., to raise the set point in the summer, and lower it in the winter when the dwelling is typically unoccupied during the normal business hours, and to reset the set point the desired setting later in the day when the resident arrives home). Presently there are some PC-computer driven systems that allow a resident remote access to program a thermostat (e.g., model RSU 10037760 remote thermostat controller and other devices sold by RadioShack, div. Tandy Corp., Ft. Worth, Tex., under the POWERHOUSE trademark) using conventional modem communications (modulation-demodulation along phone lines). According to the present invention, the level signal received by the thermostat for display at the indicator is stored in a memory device associated with the thermostat. Preferably, the thermostat also has a battery backup so that the information (regarding residential temperature and fuel level) is accurate even when domestic power is interrupted. The memory location storing the data related to the dwelling temperature and fuel level are accessible remotely via modem. Alternatively, the system can be designed to be activated by a touch tone phone, using a password, and a speech synthesizer (or canned phrases) to tell the caller the residence temperature and the fuel level (e.g., to the nearest 10% level, and especially if the level is in a low alarm condition). In this way, for example, a person having a home in New England can be on vacation in a southern state for much of the winter, and can check their fuel supply up North so that the fuel tank does not run empty while they are away. In such a situation, the dwelling temperature will be set rather low, but high enough to prevent water pipes from freezing or other types of cold damage to the dwelling, and so the system will be using fuel while the resident is away. With the present system, the vacationing resident will be assured that the heating system is still working, and a local oil or propane delivery company can be contacted if the fuel tank is running low.
The foregoing description is meant to be illustrative and not limiting. Various changes, modifications, and additions may become apparent to the skilled artisan upon a perusal of this specification, and such are meant to be within the scope and spirit of the invention as defined by the claims.
For example, while the invention as described has been directed to retrofitting an existing system, it is contemplated that a combined float and sensor can be manufactured for installation into new structures (and for tanks being replaced); as such, calibration is considered in the design of the device and need not be considered by the installer. Likewise, more sophisticated float/level sensors can be used, as well as various different data transmission encoding schemes and devices, and different methods of display. As described and claimed herein, the essence of the invention is the combination, in the same or essentially adjacent housings, of a thermostat and an indicator for the amount of fuel remaining that can be combusted under control of the thermostat.
Still further, large apartment complexes would benefit from the present invention. Although each unit might have a separate thermostat, the unit of a superintendent, or a unit manager's office, would have a thermostat as described herein and the level indicator would display the level of fuel available for the entire complex.

No, you do not need cyan, although you can use it if you want. All colors can be altered by adjusting two of three filters only. Basically stated, primary colors of light are unlike the opaque primaries in that there is some overlap. Primary in this case means those from which all others are made, rather than those that cannot be made from other color, like with opaque colors. If you want to control red/cyan, you add or subtract Y/B and M/G in equal amounts. The two can be combined equally to have exactly the same effect as the third filter, but without adding neutral density, which you would be doing if you used all three. (Equal amounts of Y, M, and C equal neutral density, AKA no color, only tone. Just stack Y, C, and M filters together to see this.) You can use any two filter colors that you like, but the common choices are magenta and yellow, which is easier to reason out in your head, as they are both warm filters. It is also convenient because they are the two used for black and white VC printing.

"Truth and love are my law and worship. Form and conscience are my manifestation and guide. Nature and peace are my shelter and companions. Order is my attitude. Beauty and perfection are my attack."
- Rob Tyner (1944 - 1991)
Years ago, I made a color contact printer box with an 11x14 opal glass for the surface one puts the negative on. I painted the inside of the box white, and drilled a hole in one side for a small dichroic color head-held in place with a bungee cord. I arranged white foamcore baffles inside at a 45 degree angle to reflect the light up to the opal glass. I used a common light meter to adjust the baffles to achieve even light on the opal glass. I then constructed a lid on a hinge, with foam rubber glued to the underside, and a latch. To use, the negative is taped down to the glass with black photographers tape, and then the remainder of the glass is taped off with black photographers tape, then an "L" shaped piece of cardboard is used as a corner to reference the paper to, and this is taped down. In the dark, a piece of RA-4 paper is run up against the corner, the lid is closed and latched and the enlarger timer is triggered for the exposure. Works like a champ. At one time I did fairly large quantity (100 prints) each of some product shots with a litho negative of product description type at the bottom of the image. Of course the color negative (8x10) had to be trimmed to allow for the inclusion of the type at the bottom. A composite image, made with one exposure. Worked great. I found that I had to reduce the output of the color head by taping black tape over part of the light output to get exposure times long enough to be reasonable.

Unfair relationships — what does the future hold?
The 'unfair relationship' concept in respect of credit agreements was introduced into the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (CCA) on 6 April 2007. Seven years later, this article reflects on how the provisions of the test have been interpreted and applied by the courts and how the law is likely to develop.
The unfair relationship provisions replaced the former extortionate credit bargain regime. Previously, the court had the power to reopen the credit agreement if it found a credit bargain was such that it required the debtor to make payments that were 'grossly exorbitant' or otherwise 'grossly contravene ordinary principles of fair dealing'. In practice, the courts were generally slow to intervene and these provisions were therefore rarely invoked and even more rarely produced a successful outcome for the debtor.
The Department for Trade and Industry proposed in its 2003 white paper that it should be easier for consumers to challenge unfair agreements and that the definition of 'extortionate' should be widened to cover unfair practices both at the time of entering the credit agreement as well as any subsequent events that may have led to unfairness. These proposals formed the basis of the unfair relationship provisions in the CCA…

What a Drag — UCLA takes an offramp from the Freeway to the Playoffs, as the Offense sputters early, the Defense breaks down late, and the Special Teams idle throughout (except for Ka'imi Fairbairn's career-long 53-yard Field Goal), leading to Arizona State pulling away 29-10 after three quarters, then surviving a furious comeback, and pulling away again, 38-23
The Bruins' dreams are gone. Hopes of a National Championship are dust in the wind, after a stunning HOME defeat at the hands of 13-point underdog 2-2 Arizona State. For the fifth time in a row, the visiting team has won in this series, as this match-up against the Sun Devils proved to be the trap game that some people feared. Just like last year, when the undefeated Bruins choked at Home against Utah, this time it was ASU to ruin a promising season.
It's not that a team can't overcome one loss and get back into National Title contention; It's more about being exposed as a pretender. Two more Defensive contributors were missing on Saturday evening, as Marcus Rios and Jayon Brown joined Myles Jack, Fabian Moreau, and Eddie Vanderdoes on the inactive list, forcing Randall Goforth to move from Safety to Cornerback, and forcing the Bruins to lose depth, and rely on more inexperienced players. With all these problems, the Bruin Defense should have been the weakest link of the team, but in the early stages of the game, that was NOT the case.
In the first quarter, both defenses dominated play. There were 7 punts in the first 12 minutes, and no one scored until UCLA QB Josh Rosen grounded the ball in the end zone, giving the Devils 2 points. The Bruin Offense was manhandled at the line of scrimmage. Paul Perkins couldn't find any running room, and Rosen was pressured on most pass plays. The Bruins mustered only 7 yards rushing in the first half.
After a last-second 53-yard Field Goal by Ka'imi Fairbairn — his career best — it was 15-10 ASU at the Half, but Continue Reading »

Region: Palm Beach to Manly - Fairy Bower
Reporters location:
Coastalwatch surf reporters are the saltiest locals around. Part fish, part shark, part human, they live for the waves and are usually more local than the locals. They'll be up before dawn waiting for first light to reveal the days surf conditions and can sense a change of wind from a sparrows fart. Each reporter covers a region of coastline which includes many number of surf spots and beaches. Please consider there may be possible variations between this report and your local spot due to differences in orientation to the coast and any local idiosyncrasies that may also effect the swell and weather patterns.

Morning Report: Waves 1-2ft,Swell SSE @6.5 sec, Winds S-SSE-SE 14-18 knots. A bit grim down on the sand. Fairly steady SSE winds and 1-2ft of bumpy mostly wind sea from the south. S facing beaches are surfable but only if your keen. Into the day winds edging SE>E with maybe a marginal increase in energy and size and easing winds by evening. A grovel today with low tide and buoyancy at S facing beaches best way to extract some form of satisfaction.

Inspiring the joy of creating and kindness of sharing handmade cards.
Jennifer McGuire is a stamping enthusiast and crafting instructor who has been sharing her love of crafting and handmade acts of kindness since 2002. In the past thirteen years, her blog, YouTube videos, publications, and classes have helped her reach thousands of paper crafters worldwide. She has been a contributing designer and worked with many companies over the years, including the wonderful Hero Arts. With certifications in both Copic and Ranger materials and techniques, Jennifer's expertise in card making, love of sharing, and high-energy teaching style has helped her gain a loyal following. As a natural extension of her popular blog and technique videos, Jennifer co-founded Online Card Classes with her dear friend Kristina Werner, where she has been working hard to inspire card makers for the past three years.
Jennifer's work can also be found offline, recently and most notably in Scrapbook & Cards Today magazine. She is also the author of two special issues from Creating Keepsakes magazine: 101 Things to Do with Your Scrapbook Supplies (2007) and 101 Creative Ways to Use Your Scrapbook Supplies (2010). You'll also find her work as a designer in many other magazines and books. Jennifer enjoyed teaching in-person classes for many years, but has recently transitioned to online-only in order to make time for her family.
Jennifer resides in Cincinnati with her husband Ken, stepdaughter Audrey, son Colin, and daughter Lila. Her stepdaughter Kay attends college in Texas. S
I buy most of my own supplies. However, I do receive free product to work with.
- Companies will often send me products (such as new stamps from a release) as a gift, not a payment. There are no expectations to use them. If I like them (and have the time!), I will use them. This product is not payment for work. Any unused product is usually given away in a post to lucky readers.
- The only time I am given product as a "payment" is if I am doing a guest post or a blog hop (which would be mentioned in my post since I would be expected to use the product in these cases). If I mention a post is a guest post or blog hop, it can be assumed the product featured was given to me.
- If a company sends me products and asks me to do a review, I will mention that. (This is very rare. I don't like to do this in case I don't love the product! In this case, the product is considered a "payment" so I will let you know that.)
- The only companies that I receive all product for free from are Hero Arts (since I do occasional work for them and therefore need the product on hand — payment is not in product) and Simon Says Stamp (only their SSS-exclusive products).
- Even though I have Invited Sponsors, I have not made a commitment to use their product. (The sponsorship payment gets them an ad space on my blog only. I invited them to do this because I believe in their products. These companies sometimes send me their product for free – not payment – to use if I wish to.) For more on my Invited Sponsors, click HERE.
- Regardless, I never will share a product I do not like. What I use on my blog is what I truly like, regardless of how I obtained it. Even if I am given a product, it will go unused, given away or sent back unless I truly love and recommend it.
It is very rare, but I am occasionally paid by a company to participate in a blog hop, etc. I never promote a product just because a company has asked me to – I promote what I love.
I do not work for any of the companies I talk about (with the exception of Hero Arts for who I do occasional consulting).
If you have questions or concerns, please email me.
I participate in affiliate programs for Simon Says Stamp, Amazon, Kiwi Crate, My Favorite Things, Craftsy, Dick Blick, Ellen Hutson, Studio Calico, Butterfly Reflections, and more. That means I receive a commission when products are purchased through links here at this blog. (At NO additional cost to you.) This allows me to bring you more videos!
Bottom line: Please know I will never share or even review a product that I would not personally recommend or that I do not personally like. Promise.

I'm really puzzled with my build server improvements. The point is that we have a specific build process in our company. On the one hand, it's quite simple:
- Update source code from SVN
- Build VisualStudio solution (C++ & C#)
- Build distributives
- Move distributives to specific server folder
On the other hand, we have about 200 different distributives of one project. We don't want to do build of all of them every day, but during a day some people need to build some distributives. Initially we had a cmd file to build the project. Then, I wrote the simple web-interface to generate cmd files and organize a build queue. This solution is acceptable, but
its maintanence is becoming really painful as project grows.
Now I have a choice - use CruiseControl.NET (or something like that) or improve my own program. What I really need is:
- Web-interface where user can choose distributive and some build params
- Web-interface with some statistics (builds, that were made, current revision of repository, current revision of working copy etc)
- Flexible config to customize build process
As far as I know, I can get (2) and (3) out of box with CruiseControl.NET, but what about (1)? Also, I'm not sure, that use CI-server, when I actually don't need CI, is a good decision.
So, here is my question: is it a good decision to use CC.NET or should I improve my own program?
P.S. I've read this article, but I'm still not sure about CC.NET web interface opportunities...

Dr. Elmisalati showed great concern for my treatment of my dental implant. He took time to give me detailed explanations of different sates of the treatment. He used great care to insure that everything would give me the best results post-op. He followed up by email later in the day to check on my progress. He is a true professional to work with.

Dr. Elmisalati treated me at Harvard, did surgery for bone graft and implant. The work was superb, he was on top of the latest techniques, abundantly communicative, and followed up regularly by phone and email. He's obsessive about documenting his work, too--an inveterate shutterbug (no points off for that).

I was referred to Dr. Elmisalati to treat my gum recession. The surgery took only 45 minutes and I literally felt nothing.

Dr. Elmisalati is simply wonderful. I went to him for three gum surgeries, and the results are outstanding. I had some deep gum recessions as well as inflamed gums and my gums are now much stronger and healthier. He is a very courteous doctor who makes sure his patients feel comfortable. He also responds promptly to emails and explains every step of the process. I cannot recommend him enough.

Dr. Elmisalati is a fantastic oral surgeon. He recently performed soft tissue augmentation, did bone grafting and placed an implant for me. He was very professional and courteous.

Big Brother Canada is looking at cheating claims
Emmett's position in jeopardy on reality show
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Big Brother Canada is investigating allegations that one of its most popular players cheated to gain key powers on the reality TV show.
Dairy farmer Emmett Blois was crowned "head of household" following a goofy challenge that put house guests in bulky bee costumes and sent them racing around a yard to collect plastic balls of "pollen" from fake flowers.
At stake was the right to nominate rivals for eviction from the house and a week-long stay in a private suite.
Competitors were told to carry the balls in pouches attached to their knees but some viewers complained online that Blois appeared to hold one or more in his hand.
Show host Arisa Cox says the footage is being reviewed to see "if appropriate steps need to be taken."
She says a verdict would likely come down Friday, but viewers won't be told until Sunday's episode on Slice.
"We take this stuff really, really seriously because the game only works if you do take everything seriously," Cox said Friday of the controversy.
"It's fun, it's entertainment, but for the people in the house it's their reality and we have to respect that. So we are reviewing all of the evidence and if appropriate steps need to be taken they will be taken."
Cox said no house guests have complained but that "Twitter exploded" when it appeared the 24-year-old Blois may have carried one or more balls.
"It did look like Emmett had been holding a ball or two," she said of the beefy baby-faced Nova Scotian, who forged a powerful alliance early in the game with other key players.
If the rules were broken "definitely some steps would be taken, rather dramatic steps potentially."
"We don't want to have anything hanging over anyone's head, so if Emmett needs to pay the price he'll have to pay the price," she said.
"I'm not suggesting he'll be kicked out of the house or anything. . . . Emmett is a wonderful, wonderful houseguest in that people love him or they despise him. Which is fabulous for the show, of course. But there will be moves."
The controversy emerged Thursday, immediately after Aneal Ramkissoon became the third houseguest to be evicted from the inaugural edition of Big Brother Canada.
The 21-year-old university student was sent packing in a surprise twist that allowed viewers to save rival competitor Suzette Amaya from the chopping block.
On Friday morning, Ramkissoon, who was voted out 8-2, said he was still shocked but looking forward to seeing his family in Richmond Hill.
"I knew a twist was coming and I figured it was a double eviction," Ramkissoon said of his whirlwind exit. "My gut was telling me something."
As in other versions of the global reality smash, contestants must live together in a camera-rigged house completely cut off from the outside world. They must compete in mental, physical and social challenges to avoid elimination. The winner gets $100,000, a $25,000 gift card to The Brick and a Chevrolet Trax.
Ramkissoon suspects he was voted out because he didn't forge a strong alliance with other players, leaving house guests unclear about his allegiance.
"Had I had time to campaign or compete for a veto it would have been a different story," he says, noting that the twist left him little chance to save himself. "There's nothing I regret, (there's) nothing I could have done."
A longtime Big Brother fan, Ramkissoon took a semester off from his communications program at Florida Atlantic University to be on the show. He said he hoped to pitch an undergraduate thesis based on his observations.
Big Brother Canada airs Sundays, Wednesdays and Thursdays on Slice. Big Brother Canada After Dark airs on Slice seven days a week from 2 a.m. to 5 a.m. A 24-hour live feed is available at bigbrothercanada.ca.
