This invention was made with Government support under Contract No. F30602-96-C-0289 awarded by the United States Air Force. The Government has certain rights in this invention.
This invention relates to the field of networks, and more particularly, this invention relates to the field of assessing security vulnerabilities of networks.
Information systems and computer network infrastructures currently under development are now being built with consideration for what constitutes an acceptable risk (or adequate protection). System assets, such as the hardware, software and system nodes of a computer network, must be protected to a degree consistent with their value. Additionally, these assets must be protected only until the assets lose their value. Any security features and system architecture should also provide sufficient protection over the life of the processed data. To assess whether or not any risk associated with a network is acceptable, a security engineer typically gathers all pertinent information, and then analyzes the risk associated with the network.
Risk analysis is a complex and time consuming process, which is necessary to determine the exposures within a network and their potential harm. As an example, when analyzing the security risks in a computer network, the security engineering typically follows the following steps:
This last step of the analysis is a cost-benefit analysis, i.e., does it cost less to implement a control or to accept the expected cost of the loss? Risk analysis leads to a security plan, which identifies responsibility for certain actions to improve security.
Today, the rapid evolution of technology and proliferation of computers with increased power mandate the use of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and software components for cost effective solutions. This strong dependence on COTS implies that commercial grade security mechanisms are sufficient for most applications. Security architectures, therefore, must be structured to build operational, mission-critical computer systems with relatively weak COTS components. Higher assurance components can be placed at community or information boundaries, forming an enclave-based security architecture that implements a defense-in-depth approach to information assurance.
There are some design tools, i.e., software programs, available to the system architect to assist in maximizing the available protection mechanisms while remaining within the development budget. Current generation risk analysis tools usually are single vendor solutions that address a particular aspect or aspects of risk. These tools tend to fall into one of three categories:
The use of multiple tools from a variety of vendors for a single computer network analysis is a labor-intensive task. Typically, a security engineer will have to enter a description or representation of the system (network) multiple times in multiple formats. The security engineer then must manually analyze, consolidate and merge the resulting outputs from these multiple tools into a single report of a network's security posture. Afterwards, the security engineer can complete the risk analysis (calculating expected annual loss, surveying controls, etc.), and then repeat the process to analyze alternatives among security risks, system performance, mission functionality and the development budget.
Also, none of these tools use an aggregate "snapshot" approach to the system with a "drill down" or layered approach to facilitate how one addresses risk at various layers (network, platform, database, etc.) of the system. These tools provide little assistance to system designers when analyzing alternatives among security risk, system performance and mission functionality. Instead, a "risk solution" is provided that addresses the particular aspect of risk that a given tool was designed to calculate. To develop a comprehensive risk assessment, a security engineer would have to become proficient in the use of several tools and manually correlate the resulting outputs.
One aspect of successful risk analysis is a complete and accurate accumulation of data to generate system models used by the analysis tools. Many current risk analysis tools depend on surveys filled out by users, system operations personnel, and analysts to acquire the data for development of a system model used in the analysis. Alternatively, a tool can actively scan a computer network to test various vulnerabilities against system components.
However, these methods have drawbacks. Textual or survey-based knowledge solicitation techniques are labor intensive and potentially tedious for the analyst. Many of the existing tools reuse the same information to analyze different aspects of the system security. It would be more advantageous to use a centralized repository of modeling data, which could provide a basis for shared inputs among existing tools. This repository could be used to generate data sets for use by risk analysis tools, allowing multiple tools to be run against the same system without separate input activities, thus reducing the possibility of operator error. The use of multiple risk analysis reasoning engines, or backbends, would allow various aspects of the system to be analyzed without the cost of developing one tool to perform all types of analysis. Integration of the information and the resulting informed assessments available by applying multiple tools would produce a more robust and accurate picture of a system's security posture. These results can facilitate more informed system design decisions, providing a framework for alternative evaluation and comparison.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a data processing system and method for assessing the security vulnerability of a network without having to analyze the network multiple times.
A method and data processing system of the present invention now allows for ready assessment of the security vulnerability of a network. The method comprises the step of creating a system object model database representing a network. The system object model database supports the information data requirements of disparate network vulnerability analysis programs. In the method, only the required data from the system object model databases representing the network is imported to each respective network vulnerability analysis program. The network is analyzed with the program to produce data results from each program. The data results are stored from respective network vulnerability analysis programs and the common system model database within a data fact base. Goal oriented fuzzy logic decision rules are then applied to the data fact base to determine vulnerability posture of the network.
In still another aspect of the present invention, the method comprises the step of importing only the required data from the system object model database via filters associated with the respective network vulnerability programs and importing via an integrated application programming interface. In still another aspect of the present invention, the network can be modeled as a map on a graphical user interface. A class hierarchy can be established to define components of the network vulnerability analysis programs that share common data and programming traits. Data results pertaining to network system details, network topologies, node level vulnerabilities and network level vulnerabilities can also be obtained.
In still another aspect of the present invention, a computer program resides on a medium and can be read by a program and comprises instructions to cause a computer to create a system object model database representing a network and which supports the information data requirements of disparate network vulnerability analysis programs. A computer program causes the computer to import only the required data from the system object model database to each respective network vulnerability analysis program and analyze the network with each network vulnerability analysis program to produce data results from each program. The results are stored with the common system model database within a data fact base. The computer program also creates instructions to cause a computer to apply goal oriented fuzzy logic decision rules to the data fact base to determine the vulnerability posture of the network.
A data processing system assesses the security vulnerability of a network and includes a plurality of disparate network vulnerability analysis programs used for analyzing a network. A system object model database represents the network to be analyzed and supports the information data requirements of the network vulnerability analysis programs. An applications programming interface imports the system object model database of the network to the network vulnerability analysis programs. A filter is associated with the applications programming interface and each respective network vulnerability analysis program for filtering data from the system object model database and importing only the required data.
Data fact base stores the results obtained from respective network vulnerability analysis programs after analyzing the network and the common system model database and a fuzzy logic processor applies goal oriented fuzzy logic decision rules to the fact database by the use of a plurality of fuzzy expert rules for merging results from the network vulnerability analysis programs and determining the vulnerability posture of the network.
Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description of the invention which follows, when considered in light of the accompanying drawings in which:
Using the example of
Although these network problems are only an example of common problems found on networks 100, there are many other problems that could occur, as is well known to those skilled in the art.
The present invention is advantageous because the system and method of the present invention allows the vulnerabilities of a network system to be identified. The software of the data processing system and method can be located on a user terminal 120, as shown in
The data processing system forming the NVT of the present invention can be loaded on a Pentium PC platform running Windows NT. This type of platform can provide a low cost solution and support a large variety of assessment tools, also commonly referred to as network vulnerability assessment or risk analysis programs throughout this description. These network vulnerability analysis programs typically are the standard COTS/GOTS programs known by security engineers, and include HP Open View, which allows network automatic discovery or manual network modeling; ANSSR (Analysis of Network System Security Risks) as manufactured by Mitre Corporation, a GOTS network system analysis tool, which allows passive data gathering and single occurrence of loss. NSA's risk assessment methodology known as RAM (risk assessment model) can also be used and is implemented in the DPL-f decision support programming language. RAM also allows passive data gathering for event tree logic, prioritizes the task list, and allows a mathematical model with multiple risks/services. It is event based over time.
DPL (decision programming language) is a decision support software package that facilitates the modeling of complex decisions. It allows a user to incorporate uncertainty and flexibility into a decision process. DPL provides a graphical interface for building a model, and performs analyses on the model. DPL-f contains the functionality built into DPL and provides a graphic interface for fault tree construction. This feature allows the modeler to create fault trees and incorporate them into DPL models. DPL-f also contains unique analytic tools. These tools include the ability to calculate explicitly the probability of any event in the tree and perform fault tree-specific types of sensitivity analysis. DPL-f provides an interface for incorporating time series into a model. This allows a modeler to account for devaluation, capital growth or other time-bearing quantities without changing the structure of the model. DPL-f provides RAM with additional capabilities for rapid fault tree construction, libraries of embedded fault trees, an expert opinion generation system, enumeration and ordering of cut sets and a graphical portrayal of risk over time.
The ISS Internet scanner as developed by Internet Security Systems Corporation (ISS) allows active data gathering and scans a network for hosts, servers, firewalls and routers and assesses security and policy compliance with networks, operating systems and software applications. It allows a snapshot in time and a computer network compliance report. These programs are disparate network vulnerability analysis programs that the NVT of the present invention allows for integration.
The NVT of the present invention is based on a knowledge solicitation framework, which incorporates a graphical description of a network topology. This topology is used to capture network attributes and analyzed subsequently for security vulnerabilities. Graphical user interface is also used to improve accuracy of the network model.
In accordance with the present invention, the system and method of the NVT automatically maps an existing network and can display the existing network as a model on a graphical user interface, such as shown in FIG. 7. For example, HP Open View could graphically depict a network topology. Once the software has been given the IP address of a default router for the network, the NVT of the present invention can use Open View and search for computers and other devices attached to the network. NVT performs an active search, pinging possible IP addresses on the network, and adding whatever response information it receives to its network map. NVT also provides a manual method to draw a proposed network with the graphical user interface, as illustrated, to support drag and drop. A system architecture can be defined, including security critical information for alternative designs or node editing to provide additional details as required to provide complete logical network planning. A user can also represent an entire network on a map by using a sub-network icon.
When a network system description has been completed, the NVT of the present invention represents and stores the description in an object/class hierarchy, as shown as an example in
This model 138 uses object oriented (OO) methodology to provide an extensible set of components in a class hierarchy that can be combined to represent a network. The class hierarchy provides a means of defining components with shared common traits, while retaining the specifics that distinguished it from other components. In addition to an implicit hierarchical relationship, object oriented techniques provide a containment mechanism in which an object can contain a reference to any object, including itself. This provides a flexible mechanism for representing any physical or logical entity. Also, object oriented representation lends itself to ready modification and extension and is ideal for an information assurance arena where changes and new technologies arise daily.
As shown in
Establishing communication between DPL-f and NVT using the filter technology is straightforward. A DPL-f filter is tasked with the specifics of building and populating fault trees. As an analysis tool, a default tree can represent a node in a network as developed and provide a probability value for events such as denial of service, loss of data and data compromise. Actually, DPL-f can be used as a final result tool.
The network is then analyzed with each network vulnerability analysis program to produce data results from each program. The data results are correlated to determine a security posture of the network. Network validation can occur through the fuzzy logic processing of the invention, as will be explained below, and the system GUI can have input to a user display.
An overview of the network is created as a model 142 by an automatic network discovery or manual entry 144, such as through HP Open view, and an appropriate filter 146 allows the system GUI 148 to display the network model as shown in
A select data sensitivity pop up window (box) 240 is user selectable through the menu options for selected network elements (FIG. 8A), and has user selected items for selecting the sensitivity of network elements. The sensitivity for data on any node (node 1 in the example shown in
A select node configuration edit pop up window (box) 250 is shown in FIG. 8B and can have user selectable vulnerability profiles for selecting a vulnerability profile of a network element or node.
After the security posture has been established through the system, icons representative of high risk network elements can turn colors, such as red, the hub 252. Other selected icons could turn yellow, indicative of a less severe risk node, such as the HP4 node 254 shown in
Referring now in greater detail to
The fuzzy logic processing of the present invention uses data fusion, evidential reasoning and inference network techniques. As known to those skilled in the art, evidential reasoning is a technique in which facts are gathered that support and refute a given hypothesis. The result is the proof or rejection of the hypothesis with a certain degree of confidence. The fuzzy logic processing of the present invention uses evidential reasoning to accumulate evident from the system and tool findings for each criteria, thereby merging the system assessment data into a single point of reference, the conformance of the system to a particular criteria. By suppling a set of criteria for fusion, the system constrains the fusion problem and reduces the search base. Evidential reasoning has previously been used to perform level-one multi-sensor data fusion, and is a common global reasoning technique in fuzzy expert systems, such as the type of system known to those skilled in the art as fuzzyCLIPS, developed by NASA. The result is a set of fuzzy evidential rules whose purpose is to accumulate evidence for a given set of requirements. This resolves potentially conflicting, ambiguous and redundant data from expert correlation and draws conclusions with available data, even if it is incomplete.
The accuracy of the result is contingent upon the quantity and quality of the data available and it may be necessary to perform additional refinement on the available data prior to the application of fuzzy logic processing, while also maintaining the probabilistic nature of the data. This refinement uses inference networks and provides a method of reasoning about probability using heuristics, thereby removing the need for extensive a priori knowledge. The relation between the goals and potential security metrics encourages cross fertilization. As known to those skilled in the art, the fuzzyCLIPS uses fuzzy facts, which can assume any value between 0 and 1. The result can be viewed as a two dimensional plot of a continuous function bounded vertically by 0 and 1.
Data fusion is used with the system object database, data results data fact base. Intelligence data fusion is a multi-level, multi-disciplinary-based information process to yield the integration of information from multiple intelligence sources (and perhaps multiple intelligence disciplines) to produce specific and comprehensive, unified data about an entity (its situation, capabilities, and the threat it imposes). Data fusion provides information based on the available inputs. The intelligence data fusion process is typically partitioned into four levels, described in Table 1 below.

As noted before, NVT combines multiple types of data, from multiple sources, with other contextual information to form an integrated view of a networked system's security posture. NVT provides a user with a simple expression of the vulnerability posture of a given system or system design, and enables them to perform "what if" analysis for functionality, performance, and countermeasure trades, for the purpose of refining and improving the system or system design.
In computer security engineering, sensors are the various vulnerability assessment and risk analysis tools, along with the GUI to gather information, as needed, from the user. The resulting outputs from these tools take the form of both qualitative and quantitative data, in a variety of formats from different vendors. For computer security engineering, the objects of interest are the nodes in a network (computing system), i.e. the assets, including hardware, software and data. The situation of interest is an assessment of the weaknesses in the security system of a computer network segment that might be exploited to cause harm or loss of secrecy, integrity or availability.
Assessing the risk faced by a computing system involves an assessment of the threats faced, their likelihood of occurrence (exploitation), and the expected cost of the loss (or harm). Finally, the network (computing system) can be refined based on the results of cost-benefits analysis. This requires information on protective measures (controls or countermeasures) appropriate for particular vulnerabilities and their costs. The cost-benefit analysis seeks to determine if it costs less to use a control or countermeasure, or accept the expected cost of the loss. This leads to the development of a security plan to improve security of a computer network system.
Table 2 contains an example of a first partitioning of this data fusion process for computer security engineering that could be used with the present invention, with four processing levels, corresponding to the four levels found in Table 1. As illustrated in

While the data fusion used in the present invention provides a conceptual framework for addressing the problem of merging results from multiple vulnerability assessment and risk analysis tools, expert systems, inference networks and evidential reasoning are used to implement the fusion concepts and merge tool results. The flexibility of fuzzy decision technology, in particular, fuzzy expert systems, offers the means to address these problems. A primary benefit of a fuzzy expert system is its ability to use and assimilate knowledge from multiple sources.
Fuzzy logic provides the technique for representing and inferring from knowledge that is imprecise, uncertain or unreliable. Similar to traditional expert systems, a fuzzy expert system can represent knowledge in the form of a system of IF/THEN rules in which the antecedents, consequent, or both are fuzzy rather than crisp. Fuzzy logic is used to determine how well fuzzy facts match the rules, and to what degree this match affects the rule's conclusion.
In accordance with the present invention, an inference network is a hierarchy of heuristic rules that can propagate probabilities without requiring extensive knowledge of a priori probabilities (e.g. Bayesian networks). The heuristic rules can be developed using expert knowledge on how the probabilities propagate, allowing conclusions to be drawn with limited knowledge of a priori probabilities. This results in low-level discrete probabilities being accurately reflected in higher-level conclusions. Probabilities of low-level events (such as probability of password compromise based on lifetime) need to be part of any conclusions drawn on higher-level events (vulnerability of password).
Initial studies of NVT uses accumulation of evidence to modify a fuzzy-fact and represent the change in state required by the current system. This state change fuzzy-fact is then used to modify the system and the new state is fed back into the change of state rules in an endless cycle, using global contribution. FuzzyCLIPS allows the definition of fuzzy-fact types, but only one fact of each type will ever exist. Therefore every rule that manipulates that fact type actually modifies a single fact, leading to accumulation of evidence.
Global contribution and accumulation of evidence have lead to a FuzzyCLIPS methodology that defines fuzzy-facts representing different vulnerability states. These facts will use global contribution and accumulation of evidence to acquire final values reflecting the tested system's vulnerability, i.e., evidential reasoning. This method reflects the well-defined use of fuzzy logic control systems, limiting the execution to a finite number of cycles instead of allowing it to run continuously. FuzzyFusion™ has been developed by Harris Corporation of Melbourne, Fla., and will use this methodology to accumulate evidence from rules based on knowledge from network security experts. In particular, FuzzyFusion™ will employ evidential reasoning as a technique in which facts are gathered supporting and refuting a given hypothesis. The result is the proof or rejection of the hypothesis with a certain degree of confidence.
Initial knowledge extraction has resulted in the use of security requirements to accumulate evidence, i.e. how well does a system meet the requirements. This demonstrates a strong correlation between the methods of verifying a database (e.g. AFCERTS) and verifying security requirements, leading to using the database and requirements as global contribution facts to accumulate evidence, illustrated in FIG. 13. This also shows how varying the granularity of the goals directly impacts the granularity of the assessment, i.e. the assessment will only be as detailed as the goals. The accumulation of evidence is being viewed as a goal orientated approach to obtaining the results while maintaining the use of a forward inference technique, and for now will be phrased as "Goal-based Fusion".
One example of how fuzzy logic can be applied with merging tool results in computer security uses the combination of results from ANSSR and ISS Internet Scanner, two of the tools currently used within one aspect of NVT. The outputs of the tools are both quantitative (ANSSR) and qualitative (Internet Scanner). Fuzzy logic allows the system to represent both data types within the same system. Then an initial hypothesis is formulated, and fuzzy logic is used to gather evidence to contradict or support the hypothesis.
For this example, an initial hypothesis could be that auditing is invalid in an existing network system. The system user then exercises the ANSSR and ISS Internet Scanner tools. If ANSSR supplies a number 90 (out of 100), that auditing is sufficient. Fuzzy logic allows NVT to account for this as strong refuting evidence for the initial hypothesis that auditing is invalid. If Internet Scanner supplies the qualitative data that User Access is not audited, fuzzy logic accounts for this as supporting evidence, which is combined with the evidence from ANSSR. When the tools are finished, the contributing evidence for auditing is represented as a single fuzzy fact that provides a measure of how well auditing is implemented.
FuzzyFusion™ as developed by Harris Corporation of Melbourne, Fla. is a means to consolidate and merge the results of vulnerability assessment and risk analysis tools, employed within the NVT into a unified report. In particular, FuzzyFusion™ is developed to implement Levels 1 and 2 fusion. FuzzyFusion™ is accomplished through the use of a fuzzy expert system (Goal-Oriented Fuzzy Logic Decision Rules) using FuzzyCLIPS, which combines the outputs of the various tools, user concerns about system risks and vulnerabilities, and expert understanding of the results of each tool and how these fit into a larger information system security picture. Thus, NVT users obtain a simple expression of the security posture of a given computing system, or system design, and can perform "what if" analysis for functionality, performance, and countermeasure trades.
Data Fuzzification 310 converts the results from the individual vulnerability assessment and risk analysis tools 132, 134, 136 into fuzzy-facts, and stores those along with the Common System Model (CSM), i.e., system object model database 138, into the (FuzzyCLIPS) Fact-Base 302. Individual tool results (after fuzzification) and the CSM 138 are exported for Expert Correlation processing 3310 (Data Framework Merge Rules) to resolve system information and integrate tool output based on security expertise. Expert opinion can be used to determine the specific fuzzy values attributed to the low-level events.
The Expert Correlation (Data Framework Merge Rules) 330 is a collection of fuzzy expert rules to perform node-level data refinement (Level-1) or network-segment refinement (Level-2). These rules correlate and consolidate the (fuzzified) outputs from the vulnerability assessment and risk analysis tools, using expertise from security engineers. These rules leverage extensive experience in security assessment to resolve low-level systems data and tool results. These rules resolve system information and integrate tool output. Expert Correlation Rule processing 330 can also transform low-level data from the CSM and tool results into high level conclusions. For example,
Working from fuzzy-facts in the Fact-Base 302, a set of Level-1 fusion rules can consolidate the vulnerabilities for each node, resulting in a vulnerability rating for each node in the network. This rating can be imported back to NVT for display. Similarly, a set of Level-2 fusion rules can consolidate the vulnerabilities for each network segment, resulting in a vulnerability rating for each network segment. This can again be imported back for display.
The data is then subject to Fuzzy Inference Network Rules processing 304. It may be necessary to perform additional refinement on the available data prior to the application of Fuzzy Evidential Reasoning Rules 304, while maintaining the probabilistic nature of the data. This refinement will use inference networks, as known to those skilled in the art, which provides a method of reasoning about probability using hueristics, thereby removing the need for extensive a priori knowledge.
Fuzzy Evidential Reasoning Rules 306 are a collection of fuzzy expert rules to merge individual tool results into a higher level assessment, from a systems-level perspective, of a network's security posture. These rules provide a mechanism for merging the CSM, tool results and the results from the Expert Correlation (Data Framework Merge Rules) 330 into a unified report. This also removes the necessity of dealing with incomplete and conflicting data from the forward-chaining expert system used in Expert Correlation.
Evidential reasoning use a technique in which facts are gathered to support and refute a given hypothesis. The result is the proof or rejection of the hypothesis with a certain degree of confidence. FuzzyFusion™ uses evidential reasoning to accumulate evidence from the Common System Model and tool findings for each criterion, thereby merging the computer network system assessment data into a single point of reference, the conformance of the system to particular criteria. By supplying a set of criteria for fusion, NVT constrains the fusion problem and reduces the search space, referred to earlier as goal-based fusion. The result will be a set of fuzzy evidential rules whose sole purpose is to accumulate evidence for a given set of requirements. This resolves the potentially conflicting, ambiguous and redundant data from Expert Correlation (Data Framework Merge Rules) 330, and draws conclusions with the available data, even if it is incomplete. Obviously, the accuracy of the result is contingent upon the quantity and quality of the data available.
As noted before, the fuzzy logic processing is goal oriented. Goals for Evidence Accumulation processing 350 may be derived from a Security Requirements Database 352, a Computer Security Metrics Database 354, or a Vulnerability Database 356, such as a database composed of AFCERTs. Bounding fusion to pre-defined goals limits computation times. FuzzyFusion™ goals provide mechanism to obtain IA metrics.
The FuzzyFusion™ process has a number of advantages over traditional approaches. Crisp expert systems would require extremely large knowledge bases to encompass the necessary data and, yet, would still have a problem with incomplete data and conflicting results. Bayesian and probability networks require extensive and often unavailable a priori knowledge of probabilities. Algorithmic solutions do not fit the probabilistic and heuristic nature of the security problem.
Rete-based expert systems such as FuzzyCLIPS suffer from a geometric increase in execution time based on the number of rules and facts present in the system. This leads to breaking the analysis into subnetworks. FuzzyFusion™ will add subnetwork and scaling capabilities. The nodes for each subnetwork will be evaluated as a group, and then groups of subnetworks will be evaluated. Grouping the rules for each type of analysis into different modules will reduce the size of the Rete-network. In addition to decreasing execution time, this will also introduce a scalable method of analyzing networks that maps to the network model used by NVT.

Here is one for you.
ChrisJ RI
it appears any performance requires more than a ~ 3 to 4oz "top off to good refrigeration" in a tech's mind (qualified...) for the Hydro-Temp with Priority instant HW and or radiant inclusive,...
The radiant heat exchanger was changed 10 days ago. Unit is working...
I just don't think the charge is correct, or some refrigerant has leaked out again.
Tech put in amount stamped on unit, HT...
Well the refrigerant has leaked out again, pretty sure it's leaking in the radiant water coil. Have had problems with "air" in the radiant every winter.
I am so frustrated, I don't have much...
800-382-3113, they have always been very nice when I have called.
"Too, it is a good time to listen for air in a pressurized loop system."
Non-pressurized, has HT's auto-purge.
I doubt the installer saved readings from back when the unit was new.
The tech...
Sorry I was so brief.
Yes I believe he checked performance using the sensors built into the unit, EWT & LWT, EAT & LAT also has 2 refrig temps. Gets the info using a palm pilot, from georgia...
Tech took out the 3.5- 4 lbs of refrigerant left (unit holds 6.1 lbs), changed switch, weighted back in 6.1 lbs. Says all should be good.
Tech found low pressure switch with oil dripping from it. They will order the part and come back.
I have an electric meter in the utility room connected to the heat pump that tracks the KWH usage.
I was going to post my excel spreadsheet where I have been tracking daily KWH usage, about 2 1/2...
Tech coming out on monday to check unit, possibly low refrigerent.
When I told him lowest LAT 55-56*F all summer and running 2nd & 3rd stage when outdoor temps low to mid 80's. Said it sounds like...
Thanks Jon,
Will probably have to get HT involved.
The DHW pump is running all the time that the A/C is running, even running at the same time the ground loop pump is running. It's using over...
I have been using my own Palm to check temps and keep track of statistics.
My installer was pretty new to HT 4 yrs ago when I contacted him. I think he has only installed a couple of HT units.
RI is Rhode Island, IE, Southern New England. Between CT and Cape Cod.
Yes I have the Luxpro stat. Works OK, tried using a 1 degree set-back last winter but still went to stage 2 to recover, even though it's set for 2 degrees below set-point kicks stage 2. Then I think...
I am pretty sure it's not under-looped. Lowest EWT at end of winter has been 35*F. 5 trenches 200' X 7-8' deep with 1" straight pipe, 1 1/4" headers reverse return.
Looper also layed pvc drip...
Not sure how many gallons of DHW, 4-5 adults in house, DHW loop includes the 55 gal electric water heater (breaker off).
Yes aux heat strip on seperate breaker (off).
"Read superheat in...
Since the DHW will have to be drained to put in hose bips, I will have the 3/4" pipes replaced with 1". My plumber didn't do what installer said to do. Although the DHW fittings on the HP are 3/4"...
4 years ago I somehow stumbled onto HT's website, their combination systems do everything I wanted, Air and water at the same time.
After 3 1/2 yrs of working very well it's now using a lot more...
I am in the Northeast region, heating dominated. Cooling dominated areas can use GSHP's with a good vertical heat exchanger.
ChrisJ RI
I am not "in the geo industry", Just someone w/geo in my 2 yr old home. Here are some numbers to think about.
Old house 1200' ranch, oil heat, propane for stove and of course an electric...
"because if Radiant has priority over forced air it will just run all day long trying to satisfy the radiant load".
The Hydron Module combo unit can be configured with shared priorty.
My horizontal loop was installed with a PVC piped drip loop about 12-18" above HDPE pipes. I can introduce moisture to the soil if need be.
I don't know what temp the ground water is in GA is but...

Vedanta Completes Skorpion Mine Purchase From Anglo
Vedanta Resources Plc, the metals producer controlled by Indian billionaire Anil Agarwal, completed its acquisition of the Skorpion zinc mine in Namibia from Anglo American Plc.
Vedanta's Sterlite Industries unit paid about $707 million in cash for the project, the company said today in a statement. The purchase was part of a $1.34 billion deal, agreed on in May, to buy Anglo's zinc assets, comprising the Skorpion project, the Lisheen mine in Ireland and South Africa's Black Mountain mines.
London-based Vedanta, which originally planned to buy the assets through Sterlite's Hindustan Zinc subsidiary, said it didn't receive Indian government approval within the contractual timeframe for Skorpion. The company expects the acquisitions of Lisheen and Black Mountain to be completed on schedule, it said.

It accelerates the healing of my skin and is anti- inflammatory. My skin is golden brown I can experience the "stain"effect if I mix in to much Turmeric, so fair skin folks start off with just a pinch. I also use it as a exfoliant and mix with my Dermalogica Daily microfoliant.

I have not had time to listen yet. I know they will retain undistributed earnings, but the current dividend looks solid and slowly increasing. I also think the NAV is down a little... But projected NII for next quarter is still over 40 cents.Was there something in the CC to cause some selling?
It's nice to see a conference call where the big topic in the Q and A is what to do with all the money they are making.
I thought John Barry was particularly foul tempered on the call, even for John Barry.
Who wants to be on a conference call and be seconded guessed? You can keep PR, I'll take performance.
Conference call is occurring now.
Maybe the dividend was more in the past, but if the stock keeps its price and continues to increase it's dividend monthly (however slight it may be), I don't see how you can ask for more. It currently has a yield of 10+%. That's great.I agree with management. I would rather increase it slowly and steadily to insure that they have the cash flow they need and are able to keep the dividend steady rather than increase the dividend significantly only to have it reduced in the future.Of course, they could continue with these tiny monthly increases in the dividend AND still cut the dividend. That would be disaster.
Sort of amazing call. Not sure that I have ever heard as many individual investors, or, at least, as much attention paid to their questions/concerns. I would recommend everyone listen.

Works Well
Posted by Reviewer1799903 on Jan 04, 2011
Works well for mild to moderate anxiety and stress. Does not make me drowsy. Not super-strong, but it does have a mild calming effect that helps noticeably. Worth trying if you have anxiety issues.
Posted by Reviewer2396526 on Mar 06, 2011
Unobtrusively improves mood and ability to handle stress, feels natural - no sensation of being medicated.

helped my husband to get rid of sleeping pills. Also my sleep problems solved with this product last fall. 3 capsules in empty stomach and we got peaceful sleep.
excellent product for my child
Posted by Reviewer2623889 on Jun 19, 2009
Excellent product for my child. It helped her to calm down. She was very hyper-active before using the product, now she is more mellow and she is focusing better on all her tasks.
Wonderful and immediate results!
Posted by Reviewer2091864 on Apr 22, 2011
I had been having a 'tight' chest on and off for three months, my blood pressure was elevated, and I was having difficulty sleeping well. About 10 days after beginning Suntheanine,1 capsule/day, I woke up feeling immensely better. I would classify this as a Wonder Supplement!
Works nicely as a semi-mild sleeping aid for the evenings...

... when you feel stressed or anxious. There are also other good candidate products, and you should try out a few to see which one works best for you (as I did). PS. Be sure to check my profile page for +180 reviews on iHerb products.

Really good L-Theanine. Take two and you really notice the calming effect. Good to take before bed, or whren you've had too much caffiene!
Posted by Didokitty on Oct 13, 2013
Works quite well for mild anxiety and stress. I take L-Theanine occasionally, usually after lunch at work and it seems to help me focus better.
It works!
Posted by Reviewer2519856 on Dec 03, 2012
I feel better just knowing I have this in my purse. I feel de-stressed and more at peace without that chemical dullness or artificial buzz like you get with other prescription meds for stress/depression. 150mg is the perfect amount per capsule, not too much and not too little. It just take the edge off and reduces the paranoia I feel that everyone and everything is going wrong.
Perfect kind of calmness
Posted by jussipoika on Mar 09, 2013
Just as it says on the package. Relaxation without drowsiness. Perfect if you feel too stressed and need to get things done.

Rockstar chose Max Payne 3 development over Bully sequel due to "limited bandwidth"
Rockstar creative boss Dan Houser has said it picked development on Max Payne 3 over a potential Bully 2 at Rockstar Vancouver because of "limited bandwidth."
In a Gamasutra interview, Houser said Bully was still a franchise it would like to revisit at some stage.
"We have been meaning to start it for a while, but we have limited bandwidth and limited studios, and more games to make than we've started. So suddenly it was a good slot," he said on when it started MP3's development.
Houser further added it "knew" it didn't want to begin work on the "Bully sequel instantly at that second with those guys — even though it is a property that, like Max, we adore and might come back to in the future. There was just no impetus to do that then.
"So we said, 'You can do Max, and then we will see what we can do with Bully.' So it was really waiting for the slot to open up and the group to open up to at least start work on it."
Max Payne 3 releases next March for PS3, 360 and PC from Rockstar Vancouver.

Highland Wonders is a monthly education series featuring the natural history of the Okanogan Highlands and surrounding areas. Come and meet some new people and enjoy refreshments; leave with a better understanding of your watershed.
The indoor series runs on the First Friday of the month, from November through May (skipping December). The outdoor series is offered during summer, and the schedule varies.
Dragonflies and damselflies are often called birdwatchers' insects. Active and brilliantly colored, these four-winged predators fly everywhere over pristine wetlands. Their very different-looking larvae are dominant predators in the water below. They have the best vision and the most versatile flight of any insects, and their sex life is similarly superlative.
Dennis would say there are no insects more interesting than dragonflies and damselflies. They are common, but because of their association with wetlands, many people go through life with little contact with these wonders of nature. "Any well-rounded naturalist should have that contact, and this is such an opportunity," Paulson says. "We have to preserve our natural ecosystems, as much for ourselves as for the animals and plants with which we share the world. Understanding those systems and their animals and plants are essential to their conservation. Thus natural history is our most important science."

These are robot soft toys that I have made with my small retro robot panel, printed on Minky fabric at Spoonflower. They were lots of fun to make and the Minky is great to both hand sew and machine sew. As this fabric does not fray it is possible to have a 3mm or 4mm seam allowance. If you order the panel on the wider width fabrics there is a bonus spaceship on the end.

From the Garden - Birds
Some of the birds we have had in the garden over the last few weeks. We don't usually have the white cockatoos or the galahs, and I have been waiting for the black cockatoos to return, I was so happy to finally see them today.
2016 Tea Towel Calendar
I was so thrilled to get in the top ten of the tea towel calendar contest last week at Spoonflower. These arrived just before the end of the contest, there are also three co-ordinating designs to form a collection. Although these are pictured here with a raw edge, my mum has kindly hemmed them for me and they have turned out really well.
From the Garden - Mid Spring
Sweet Dreams Collection
The Sweet Dreams collection was designed around Dreamy Flying Machines which was created for a Spoonflower contest earlier this year. It is now available for sale in my Spoonflower shop.

The study of genetics and breast cancer has evolved rapidly over the past decade. In the past, genetic testing looked at only one or two genes, but now panel or multi-gene testing is becoming more….
Palliative care is a special type of health care for people with a serious illness. Its goal is to improve the quality of life of both patients and their families.
It's simple. Komen Virginia Blue Ridge is fighting breast cancer. How?
Komen Virginia Blue Ridge is the local source for funding programs that provide breast health services, breast cancer education and outreach in our county service area.
We empower the residents in our service area with information about the importance of early detection and breast health. We donate 75 percent of net funds raised to vital local breast health services, and dedicate the remaining 25 percent to national research to find the cures.
Since 2008, the Virginia Blue Ridge Affiliate has funded over $2 million in local programs and over $700,000 in breast cancer research.
Komen Virginia Blue Ridge is part of the big picture to eradicate breast cancer. But we're also focused on the local needs of our neighbors. We are dedicated to educating the residents in our service area about breast cancer and the resources available along with funding life-saving screening and treatment programs in for our neighbors currently battling this disease.
Join Komen Virginia Blue Ridge in the fight to beat breast cancer. You can donate your time or resources or host a fundraiser in our Blue Ridge county,service area. You can know your normal and encourage those around you to know theirs. You can be a listening ear and strong shoulder to family and friends who are in the battle. And you can be an inspiration and tell your story as a survivor. There is a place for you in this fight. Your dollar might be the one that ultimately finds one of the cures. Your presentation might encourage a listener to get a mammogram and find her cancer at an earlier stage. Contact us today. We're here to partner with you.
We're always only a click or a call away. However you reach us, we are always happy to help you.
