Fashionistas, erotic-art enthusiasts, and photophiliacs can delight in the fact that the World Erotic Art Museum (1205 Washington Ave., Miami Beach) caters to locals as much as it does Baselites. In cooperation with the Museum der Moderne in Austria, WEAM presents "Helmut Newton: A Liberating Focus" through March 3 — long after the tourists and pseudo-celebs have returned home to recuperate from Art Basel. Newton traveled the world — making his way through South America, Sydney, Singapore, and London — and landed in Paris in 1945, but not before escaping a Nazi concentration camp. The famed photog snapped shots for French Vogue and Harper's Bazaar but is recognized for much more than framing fashion. Known for capturing beauty, eroticism, humor, and sometimes violence, Newton has left a legacy that even Nan Goldin would appreciate. Seventeen of his most iconic works shot between 1982 and 2000 will be on display, including the complete Arielle Portfolio and seven images from the Cyber Women Portfolio.

If anyone thought that Elizabeth Hurley was losing her sex appeal as she got older, these pictures should put an end to that nonsense. Here she is out on the town looking gorgeous and classy and wearing an outfit you'd normally have to pay a decent amount of money to see a chick this hot wear. It looks like a bikini top with a fur vest on over it. How hot is that? I think it's time Ms Hurley has an affair with a certain frail wristed blogger who occasionally wears a Speedo as underpants.

Allow users to sign up to post text/images to Facebook wall
- Status Closed
- Budget N/A
- Total Bids 7
Project Description
I have a current working PHP script which posts Bible verses and images to my Facebook page automatically. For this project, I simply want other Facebook users to be able to post the same Bible verses and images to their personal Facebook wall automatically. It will be the same as them sharing it, they can choose how often they want the script/app to post to their wall. See below for the user experience:
1. User sees a link on my Facebook page where they can sign up to have daily Bible verses posted to their Facebook wall.
2. They click link, it goes to a page on my website that has a form where a user can sign up: [url removed, login to view] (even better is if the signup page on my website shows up in a tab/page on Facebook).
3. The form allows user to determine whether they want it posted 6 times daily, twice daily, once daily, or once a week.
4. After submitting, data is saved to a mysql database, and it probably reads data from their Facebook profile, they have to agree for the Facebook app to get the data.
5. The posts will be the same as current posts on [url removed, login to view] - which I have a script that uses Facebook API. Basically, it needs to be a simple, easy way to get users to post the daily Bible verses on their wall.
My budget is under $150, as I think this will be easy for someone experienced in PHP and Facebook API. Need completed in 1 week- start April 4 and end April 12. I will offer a small bonus if completed a few days early.Get free quotes for a project like this

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
For Alpha Natural Resources, the fourth quarter of 2011 was marked by declining coal demand as a result of slowing economic activity, a market shift for low-priced natural gas and recent U.S. environmental regulations that discourage the use of coal.
The company reported a net loss of $733 million for Q4 on account of a $745 million asset write-down. Alpha's full year bottom-line was also impacted by the acquisition charges and other litigation costs related to the acquisition of Massey Energy in June 2011.
Alpha Natural Resources is a leading supplier and exporter of metallurgical coal, which is used in the steel-making industry, and thermal coal, which in used in electricity generation.
Alpha competes with players like CONSOL Energy and Peabody Energy.
See our complete analysis and $32.68 price estimate for Alpha Natural Resources here
Key Factors That Impacted Q4 Results
While fourth quarter revenue jumped to $2.07 billion from $993.1 million a year ago because of consolidation with the acquisition of Massey Energy, the company also turned a loss of $733 million.
The loss is largely attributable to a $745 million asset write down in its Eastern coal operations.
Other factors contributing to the dismal results are constrained prices and lower demand for thermal coal in the U.S., due to competition from cheap natural gas and uncertainty ahead of the implementation of federal air-pollution rules.
Special Offer: Stocks are cheap with price to free-cash-flow yields are at 50-year lows for the S&P 500. Make money in a recovering market with blue chips like Dow Chemical, Alcoa and 14 more stocks in the Berman Value Folio newsletter.
2012 Outlook
With the market preference shifting from coal to cheaper and environmentally friendly natural gas, prices and volumes of coal are expected to decline.

Slow-Cooked Lamb Shanks and Tomatoes
A long, gentle simmer slowly breaks down tougher cuts like lamb shank, leaving the meat flavorful, succulent, and tender.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Source: Everyday Food, October 2009
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 medium onions, halved and thinly sliced
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 5 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
- 5 large tomatoes (about 4 1/2 pounds total), coarsely chopped, or 2 cans (28 ounces each) plus 1 can (15 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes
- 4 lamb shanks (about 4 pounds total)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat oil over medium-high. Add onions and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes (if using canned, break them up) and cook until they break down, 6 to 8 minutes.
Place lamb shanks in pot in a single layer so each shank is covered by sauce. Bring to a boil, cover, then place pot in oven. Cook until meat is very tender and falling off bones, about 3 1/2 hours. Skim fat from cooking liquid and season lamb with salt and pepper. Serve lamb with sauce.

Diane Lane net worth: Diane Lane is an American film actress who has a net worth of $35 million. Diane Lane was born and raised in New York City. She started her movie career at the age of 13 in George Roy Hill's 1979 film "A Little Romance" opposite Sir Lawrence Olivier. Even though she earned critical appraisal for her performance as a bright American girl living in Paris, it was her roles in such 1980s movies as Rumble Fish and The Outsiders that put her on the map. But then followed a lean period throughout the 1990s when she struggled with parts in low-rated movies like Chaplin and Judge Dread. Nevertheless, she managed to reestablish her career with her dynamic performance in 1999's A Walk on the Moon. Next, Diane landed more critically acclaimed roles like in 2000's The Perfect Storm and 2002's Unfaithful, in which her portrayal of a wayward wife fetched her Academy Award, Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations. Later, she went on to star in 2005's Must Love Dogs, 2006's Hollywoodland, 2008's Jumper, as well as 2011's TV movie Cinema Verite. As for her most recent project, it's fantasy adventure movie, Man of Steel, set to premiere on 14 June 2013.

Glasgow climbed nearer to the midriff of the Magners League courtesy of a hard-fought 20-14 win over the Dragons on Sunday.
Glasgow climbed nearer to the midriff of the Magners League courtesy of a hard-fought 20-14 win over the Dragons on Sunday – a fourth defeat in five matches at Rodney Parade for the men of Gwent.
But the Welshmen, and in particular outside-half Aled Thomas, were left kicking themselves for losing a game they should have won.
The Scotsmen were just one place above the Dragons in the table before kick-off so there was a lot resting on the result, particularly as Glasgow were after revenge for an 18-16 reverse at Firhill on the first weekend of the year.
After some early pressure from the Dragons, where Thomas missed two penalties, Glasgow hit back with a couple of scores.
Wing Max Evans got the first touchdown of the afternoon as flanker Kelly Brown put him in from 10 metres after pressure on the home line.
A conversion and penalty from Scottish international stand-off Dan Parks put Glasgow 10-0 ahead before Thomas finally slotted a simple 15-metre shot through the posts to cut the arrears.
Thomas booted another penalty to make it 10-6 on the half hour but, as the game threatened to lose its' way through countless handling errors, the Dragons went up in tempo and took the lead.
Left wing Richard Fussell sent right wing Gareth Wyatt screeching down the touchline for a superb 30-metre try.
And they should have scored another try before the interval as a magnificent handling movement broke down when centre Rhodri Gomar-Davies dropped the ball.
With their tails up, a third Thomas penalty on the stroke of half-time sent the Welshmen in 14-10 ahead.
However, the downward spiral came when Thomas missed another seemingly straight-forward kick from 30 metres on the resumption.
Those lost points were vital as Parks brought the Warriors back to within a point when the home side were penalised 35 metres out for not rolling away from a ruck.
Glasgow could sense the win and retook the lead when Evans got his second try of the match in spectacular style when Parks cross-kicked into the right-hand corner.
The wing leapt high to cling onto the ball ahead of Dragons flank Joe Bearman and cross. An equally good touchline conversion from Parks turned the match on its head and left the Welsh region chasing the game.
As has been the case a lot of times at Rodney Parade this season, the Welsh region put in a last-gasp effort to save their bacon.
But needless errors and more handling mistakes meant another home defeat and a happy team bus for the haul back to Scotland for the visitors.

Here's what you need to know about buying and using supermarket gift cards.
Both Coles and Woolworths offer gift cards that are designed to provide unique spending experiences to that someone special. These products can be a convenient and thoughtful alternative to giving someone cash, while still offering the same flexibility.
However, gift cards do come with terms and conditions that you'll need to pay attention to as both a gift-giver and receiver. Here, we explain the different gift card options from Woolworths and Coles, how they work and what you should consider when looking at these two supermarket options.
How to compare Woolworths WISH Gift Cards and Coles Group & Myer Gift Cards
When choosing a gift card, it's important to consider not only how much money you'll load onto it, but where it can be used. So here, we compare the key details of Woolworths WISH and Coles Group & Myer gift cards to help you decide which one could be right for your needs.
|Woolworths WISH Gift Card
|Coles Group & Myer Card
|Participating stores
|12 months
|24 months
|Min / Max Load
|$5 / $500
|$5 / $250
|Use online
*List of participating retailers correct: 31/10/16.
Key details to consider when comparing Woolworths and Coles gift cards
From the table above, it's clear there are some key similarities and differences between these gift cards. The most important factors to consider are:
- Card acceptance. The Coles Group & Myer Gift Card boasts a wider range of participating retailers. However, the Woolworths WISH Gift Card is accepted at similar types of retailers and can be used for purchases both in-store and online.
- Expiry. The Woolworths WISH Gift Card will expires after 12 months, whereas the Coles Group & Myer Gift Card is valid for 2 years.
- Online shopping. While the Woolworths WISH Gift Card can be used to shop in-store and online, the Coles Group & Myer Gift Card can only be used in-store.
- Purchasing options. Both Woolworths and Coles gift cards can be purchased in-store or online.
- Card value. Both Woolworths and Coles gift cards have a minimum load amount of $5 and a maximum load amount of $500.
Other factors to consider
- Fees. While these cards can be purchased-in store at no extra cost (other than the value loaded onto the card), there may be other fees for purchasing physical cards online. For example, buying a plastic Woolworths WISH Gift Card online will attract a registered post fee of $5.50 or a courier fee of $14.95. Similarly, purchasing a Coles Group & Myer Gift Card online will attract a registered post fee of $5.50.
- Card theft or loss. These gift cards are treated as cash. This means that if they are lost or stolen, there is little chance of reclaiming the value of the card.
- Cash equivalent purchase. Woolworths and Coles gift cards are classified as "cash equivalent purchases", so if you use a credit card to buy them, the transaction will be treated as a cash advance. This means you'll have to pay a cash advance fee and the cash advance interest rate. The payment also won't be eligible to earn points through a credit card rewards program.
Compare supermarket credit cards
Pros and cons of using a supermarket gift card
- Choice. A gift card is more personal than giving cash but still allows the recipient to choose what they want to buy.
- Online facilities. It's easy to manage your gift card and check your remaining balance. Simply visit the card issuer's website to access the online tools.
- Customisable cards. Woolworths and Coles gift cards offer a range of design options to suit different occasions.
- Expiry. A gift card will expire after a period of time and any remaining value on the card will be lost.
- Limited acceptance. A gift card can only be used at certain shops and merchants.
- Limited use. Most gift cards can only be loaded with money once, and used until that balance is cleared or the card expires (whichever happens first).
Woolworths and Coles gift cards come with a range of terms and conditions. So before buying one, make sure you compare the features and acceptance of these cards so that you can choose a gift that offers the greatest value to you and the person you're buying it for.Back to top
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between an egift card and a regular gift card?
An "egift card" is a digital or virtual gift card, rather than a physical card. While you would swipe a regular gift card at the checkout, with an egift card, you simply enter the details on the electronic receipt to make a purchase. Some egift cards may be designed specifically for online purchases, while others could be accepted in-store as well.
Why doesn't my gift card work?
If your gift card doesn't work, check to see whether the card is still valid. If you're trying to use the product in-store and you get a bad read message, check to see whether the magnetic strip on the back or card is damaged or not. If it is damaged, you may need to arrange for a replacement. This can be organised by contacting the card issuer customer service.
What if I want to return goods purchased with the gift card?
You should be able to return goods you've purchased with your gift card; however, return policies can vary depending on the store where the items were purchased. You will need to contact the merchant directly to enquire about their gift cards return policy.
How do I find out about the balance of my gift card?
Most gift card issuers allow you to check the balance of your gift card online. You will need to visit the gift card website and look for the option that lets you log in to your gift card account.
Will I get change from my gift card?
While most supermarket gift cards won't allow you to get cash if there is a balance remaining after your purchase, you can usually continue using the card until you have spent the full amount loaded onto it.

text: The ongoing UN Climate Conference in Paris (COP21) is focused mainly on the long term shift from fossil fuels to clean energy. In the short term, however, there are some relatively easy ways for the world to reduce our greenhouse gases. One of them is to reduce the amount of gas that is flared or burned wastefully at oil production sites around the world.

Peanut butter and jelly. Burgers and fries. Hummers and, um, handguns? That's right, where else but in the good ol' U. S. of A. could such necessary staples of everyday life be bundled together under one roof?
Like many other Hummer dealers, Jim Lynch, the man behind Lynch Hummer of Chesterfield, Missouri (a suburb of St. Louis), found himself with lots of vacant floorspace after fuel prices, the economic downturn and the court of public opinion conspired to restrict vehicle sales at his fine establishment. What to do? Seems rather obvious to us – add firearm and ammunition sales, what else? According to Lynch, "It is a natural fit. Our customers enjoy outdoor sports and the firearms have been a big hit with our Hummer owners."
It's all about customer service, says Lynch, "We take our mission of providing a pleasant shopping environment for our customers very seriously... We sold our first Hummer online in 1995 and have been a leader in online sales of off-road parts and accessories through our Adventure Accessories web site for many years. We plan to do the same with firearms and accessories on our website."
Interested in adding both a Hummer and a new Glock (or Sig Sauer, Smith & Wesson, Kimber, Colt, Benelli, Beretta, Browning, FNH, H&K, Springfield Armory, Ruger, Walther, Stoeger, Franchi, Uberti, CMMG, DPMS, Bushmaster or Barrett) to your arsenal? Click here to visit GunsAndHummers.com and hit the jump for the official press release. In the meantime, we'll be waiting for the first Mini dealer paired with a Starbucks franchise.

|Sugar Shortage in Belize
|Written by Administrator
|Thursday, 19 May 2011 00:00
Residents across the country of Belize have had to be subjected over the past three weeks to critical sugar shortages. The shortage, according to the Belize Sugar Industry limited is an artificial one; that is, the company is currently supplying 14,000 tons into the local market which is the yearly demand. The shortage is arising however as a result of sugar being smuggled across the border into neighboring Guatemala and Mexico where sugar retails at more than twice the price that it fetches locally. The problem has now reached critical conditions where some businesses have had to slow down operations. In particular juice-making and wine making businessmen have complained that the shortage has affected their ability to keep on doing business.

This review is from: Corsair Vengeance 1500 v2 USB Connector Circumaural Dolby 7.1 Gaming Headset
Pros: - Audio Quality
- Not a super sensitive microphone
- The Mic Monitoring was perfect
Cons: - The cable
- Wiring
- Bass is lacking
Other Thoughts: My headset broke only after a few months of normal use. The cable would get so twisted and tangled that it was nearly impossible to get it straightened back out. Due to this, I slowly started losing audio out of one ear cup and the other was soon to follow. One day it just didn't work at all. During the time I used the headset I only had great things to say about it, and recommended it to everyone looking for a headset. Now that has changed. I was very disappointed in the headsets lifespan. In the past I had used a turtle beach headset that lasted me upwards of 2 years.READ FULL REVIEW

If you're looking for the best home automation system to make your life easier and improve your home's security, I have reviewed the top companies.
Best Home Automation Systems: Secure Your Home
Best Home Automation Systems
Some functions that can be automated include managing its thermostat, remote locking/unlocking door and adjusting lighting. These controls can reduce energy costs, save you time, and improve the security and safety of your home.
Speaking of security, many providers that make our list of the best home automation systems do so because they offer exceptional packages that combine home security and home automation functions, with superior customer service. Given that 81 percent of burglars said that they would discontinue a break-in attempt after discovering a home security system in your house, the value of a security system is clear. A recent Rutgers study has also shown that home security systems
A recent Rutgers study has also shown that home security systems increase the safety of your entire neighborhood. Our home automation reviews consider both the functionality of the product, as well as the quality of service the product is delivered with.
Some security features that these providers offer include remote viewing of your property's security cameras and automated alerts when suspicious activity is detected. They also automatically alert first responders in the event of a fire, carbon monoxide leak, or break-in.
Best Home Automation Systems: What to Consider
Most smart home providers will offer the same type of equipment and services. To separate the best from the pack we took the following factors into account when doing our home automation reviews:
1. Reputation
A provider's reputation is indicative of the level of service and care it extends to its customers. You can do research on your provider by looking them up on the Better Business Bureau's website, who assigns grades based on a variety of components, including resolved/unresolved customer issues. A company tends to have a lower score if they have a high amount of customer complaints without resolution.
2. Customer Service
Building on the previous point, it's important to gauge how other customers that used a provider's service rate it. Often, you can find customer reviews on a company's website, using a third-party review service or even just by reading the reviews listed in our guides. In addition, you can visit the provider's social media accounts to see how it responds to customer questions or comments posted.
3. Monitoring Services
Since most providers bundle packages to include security and home automation components, monitoring becomes a critical focal point. Does the provider have in-house monitoring? If so, is it available 24/7? If the company farms out its monitoring service to a third-party, what is the third party's reputation? What measures does the company have in place in the event of service disruption on its end?
Perhaps most important: how long does it take for the company to actually notify emergency services? With emergency service response times reaching as high as 30 to 45 minutes in major cities, adding even a few minutes to that time could make a huge difference. It's important to know the answers to these questions to ensure you receive reputable monitoring service that will be there for you when you need it.
4. Fees
You should also examine a provider's fees based on monthly service, equipment charges, and installation costs. This will let you decide between the expensive but fully-featured offerings and the cheap home automation systems that still get the job done.
5. Difficulty of Onboarding
Onboarding is the process during which you sign up for service and a technician comes to install equipment. During this time, a reputable company will take the time to help you learn more about the equipment, such as how to use its services online and its mobile application. While it's easy for most novice users to pick it up, it's still important the technician shows you all the different home automation/security features available to you and tests them before leaving. A reputable company will also do a follow-up call after the installation to ensure everything is operating smoothly.
This process will be a good way to gauge the overall quality of customer service the company is going to provide, so make note of any red flags during the onboarding process.
6. Service Contract and Guarantees
Many home automation companies are similar to cell or TV providers in that they will require you to commit to a service contract. The term of the commitment, normally specified in months, is how long you agree to keep purchasing service from that provider. If you elect to end service early, you might incur early termination fees or be required to pay for the unused service.
With these things in mind, it's important the provider offers a trial period, where you can try its service then cancel without penalty. Not offering a trial period is a big red flag that the provider is more concerned about its own profits than its customers.
7. Installation Assistance
Installation is a crucial phase because it is when the technician installs all your equipment for service. Before doing this, however; you might have to acquire an alarm permit or other permits required by your local government.,
Most providers can send your city's application for these permits. There might also be restrictions on the type of equipment you can install. Finally, if you are a property owner with an HOA, it's important to double check your HOA agreement to confirm that security or home automation systems are allowed by the HOA.
8. Credit Check
Many providers require a credit check to sign up for services as they'll be trusting you to pay them on time each month. They do this to verify who you are and to see if you have outstanding balances in arrears with similar companies. If you do, it might make it more difficult to obtain services.

Best Home Automation System: Choosing the Right Type
Home security systems seem pretty straightforward but there are actually several different types with varying degrees of sophistication. All are designed to protect your home against break-ins and burglary and some even guard against dangers like fire or carbon-monoxide poisoning. Different systems all come with several different extras like security cameras, temperature monitoring, or remote monitoring. However, there are two major choices to make when choosing a security system:
Hardwired or Wireless
A hardwired system involves physical wires that run from the control panel to each sensor on the windows and doors. These involve the most complicated installation process because they require a professional to run wires behind walls and beneath floors. In exchange for this burden, you get reliability. Wired devices, in general, are more reliable than wireless systems because they are immune to interference or loss of signal. Unless the wires are severed, your sensors should remain constantly connected to your control panel. Unfortunately, getting that extra dependability means some interior construction. Use this system if:
- You are confident that you will be in your current residence for an extended period.
- You are able to run wiring through walls and under floors.
- You prefer the added reliability that comes with a wired system.
A wireless system does not require wires to communicate between the controller and the sensors. Instead, wireless systems are connected by radio waves that are broadcasted from the sensors to the system. While this kind of security system is simple, easy to install and even portable, it does have drawbacks. Wireless systems are vulnerable to electrical interferences and may lose connection if signals are mixed. In fact, many systems still use technology from the 90s to communicate wirelessly. Use this type of system if:
- You like that this system can be easily moved into a new home.
- You don't want to open up walls and floors for wiring.
- You want easy installation.
Monitored or Unmonitored
Monitored home security systems offer a lot more than just the protection and warning of an alarm. When your alarm goes off, an operator will respond by contacting you to determine if it's a real emergency or a just a false alarm. If you do not respond or if the operator otherwise determines that it is an emergency, he or she will contact the authorities on your behalf. Home security systems can also detect things like fire and carbon monoxide as well as burglary and break-ins. This is useful for when you are not home or if you become incapacitated and unable to call police or firefighters. This type of service typically comes with monthly fees, which average $30 a month, but can cost as much as $100 a month. Use this service if:
- You want the extra security of home monitoring.
- You can afford the extra expense.
- You want protection from more than just break-ins.
Unmonitored systems have no outside home monitoring and typically use sounds and lights to alert residents and neighbors and to scare off intruders. With an unmonitored system, you have no extra monthly fees but you are also responsible for calling the police yourself during the emergency. Additionally, some systems involve remote monitoring and alerts so that you can at least monitor your home from a cell phone, computer or tablet. Use this when:
- You don't need the added security of a monitoring service.
- You don't want the extra fees.
Best Home Automation System for Your Housing Situations
Since home automation and security systems come in all shapes, sizes, and with different features, determining what features you really need is an essential step in the process. Get a system with too few features and you'll be wishing you got a better version. Go with a smart home product with too many features and you'll be wasting money that you could have used elsewhere.
When shopping for the best home automation system, consider the following:
Are You Renting?
If you are renting you'll probably want to find a home security system you can install yourself. There's no need to get a super complicated system if you may find yourself moving from one place to the next when your lease is up.Even if you plan on renting the same place for a long time, you'll still want a system that can be easily removed in case plans change.If you're a homeowner you can pretty much install any security system you want. Your house, your security system.
How Often Do You Move?
Some people move pretty often due to work or other circumstances. Often this can be every one to three years. If this is the case then you're going to want to pay attention to the alarm company's contract to see what they allow. For example, if a company requires a long-term contract for the security system then it's obviously not going to work for you.You may also want to consider a system you own outright so you can just take the equipment with you when you move.
Best Home Automation Systems: Choosing Your Features
What Kind of Access Do You Want?
This is where it gets fancy. When considering a home security system you'll want to take into account how much remote access you want to certain monitors around the home.Most alarm systems let you arm and disarm your system from a remote or your smartphone, but some companies let you control other kinds of settings around the home.Here is a list of things to consider when determining what you want kind of remote access you want:
- Arm and disarm the alarm
- Lock and unlock doors
- Monitor thermostat
- See which windows and doors are open
- View live video via camera feeds
- Get real-time notifications via text, email or video
- Get notified if specific locations, such as a medicine cabinet or garage door, have been opened
- Adjust lights
- Monitor water and flood sensors
While not all of these may be necessary, it's important to note that some features can save you from costly damage. For example, temperature and water sensors can notify you of when temperatures get dangerously low in your home. This can help you avoid having a pipe burst in the winter.
Do You Want/Need Cameras?
Security cameras come with some advantages you may want to consider. Besides catching an intruder, you can also use security cameras to see who is at the front door, check on the baby sitter or keep an eye on things while you are away.

Best Home Automation Systems FAQs
What is a home automation system?
A home automation system controls aspects of your home, such as lighting, HVAC, or door locks, for you. Automation systems can work on a schedule you set, or learn your habits. For example, a system could be set so that it turns on the heat when your home, and turns it off when you're not, to reduce your heating bill.
What is a smart home system?
A smart home system is one that enables your different appliances and devices, such as your refrigerator, oven, TV, security system, and phone, to communicate. With a smart home system, you can watch home security footage on your phone, or pre-heat your oven while you're on your way home from grocery shopping.
Is the nest compatible with Iris?
The Nest thermostat system is not currently compatible with Iris, so it cannot be accessed through Iris or integrated with the Iris system. If you need a thermostat that works with Iris, look for a "works with Iris" logo on the packaging. That logo confirms that the device will work with Iris.
What is the purpose of a smart house?
The purpose of a smart house is to make your life easier and to save you money. You can lock or unlock your door remotely, watch security footage from your phone, or let your home control the heat based on whether you're there or not. The system will reduce your energy costs and simplify your life.
Is home automation complicated and difficult to operate?
Home automation can be simple to both install and to use. Everything pretty much operates via remote control through a mobile device. While your home will suddenly become extremely high tech, it will may make your life simpler and allow you to save much valued time. Your entire home is operated from wall mounted control systems, hand held remote controls or from your tablet or smart phone. All of the tasks involved from closing the shades to checking to ensure that your children made it home from school safely, are clearly labeled and are activated with just a touch of your finger.
Is home automation affordable?
Home automation systems can begin at around $500 and move up from there depending on the sophistication you might be looking for. For as little as $500, you can begin to turn your house into a smart home by being able to operate your television, some of the lighting in your home as well as control the thermostat from a remote location. A professionally installed home automation system, however, can give you far more flexibility and reliability than the simpler DIY systems. For a professional system that will cost between $5,000 and $10,000, depending on home size, you can get several integrated systems. Access to this upgraded home automation would be accessible from the Web or from your cell phone and could include security cameras, lighting and thermostat controls, music throughout your home as well as video access in multiple rooms.
Is home automation a practical and realistic thing for a homeowner?
In the hurried and fast paced world we all tend to live in these days, nothing could be more practical than home automation. How many times have we all been driving along and then suddenly try and remember if we locked all of the doors and engaged the security system? As for practicality, home automation will allow you to see who is at your front door without actually going to the door and opening it. How practical can that be if you are at work and want to know that the children made it home from school safely? And, if you are away on a trip or vacation you can set all of your lights to turn off and on at random times to make it appear that you are home and the house is occupied.
Will automating my home save me money?
Yes. When you begin to automate such systems as your lights, you will be using much lower voltage bulbs which will cost less and will last longer as lights turn off automatically when not needed. When using the high energy halogen bulbs, the brightness can be dimmed thus saving on the life of the bulb without any real loss in brightness to the room. In addition, the timers for the lighting system can be set to turn off automatically after a certain period of time and even the use of motion sensors will help keep your electrical use low. Many of the other electrical systems in your home can be automatically set as well.
Will home automation make me safer in my home?
The challenge with traditional security systems is that they don't sound an alarm until after someone has broken in to your home. Light is the number one deterrent to crime and you will have it all of the time to deter burglars before they even approach your home. The outside lighting from your home automation security system gives you added protection that often actually prevents a home break in from happening. You can also attach flashing lights to the system to make it more effective. With home security automation, you can actually see the situation at your home no matter where you are in the world and if something is wrong, the house can call you on your cell phone!
How does the home entertainment automation option work?
The home entertainment systems option puts all of your television, movies, games, and music right at your fingertips coordinated through one system. All of your favorite music, games and movies are available at the press of a finger. All of your movies and games can be downloaded into the system and filed in your phone to be called up at any time from any room in your home. An enhanced home entertainment automation system has the storage capacity of anywhere from 160 GB to a full terabyte. You can even tap into your favorite RSS feeds, news updates and weather reports.
Are there certain things to avoid?
One of the major hazards to home automation can be a tendency to incorporate far too much automation into your home. Most of the common automation systems include lighting, home entertainment, shades, security alarms, surveillance cameras and swimming pools. Before you automate, you need to sit and discuss with your family what exactly would be the best automation fit for you. Other pitfalls include not leaving your system enough room to upgrade when the technology improves and not having enough interfaces. Finally, one pitfall that most people never think of is to leave the systems with enough room to get proper air and ventilation to avoid overheating and burn out.
Can motorized shades actually ensure a great night's sleep?
There are many advantages to automating your shades throughout your home. It can help you to keep the heat in during the winter and the heat out during the summer as well as becoming a critical factor in getting a great night's sleep. If you decide to play some soft music at night, you can enhance the restful nature of it with shades and lights that can be in sync with the music. The shades and the lighting can also illuminate certain section of your home, like a hallway, for those who tend to get up during the night. Setting your shades to automatically close in your bedroom just prior to bedtime will create a cozy and restful atmosphere for you as soon as you enter the room.
Is whole house internet access available with home automation?
Yes. You not only will have the ability to access the World Wide Web from anywhere in your home, but you will be able to do so without any additional cables that can be both an eyesore and a safety hazard. Your current network can be retrofitted or a new internet access system can be installed using both wired and wireless technologies. After you have decided what will work best for you, you will have wireless availability throughout your home including access to printers in various rooms. You can, basically, have your own in-home network without the mess of additional cables and wiring.

I'm in zone 8. They are near a really big sycamore tree, and I think the
daylilies have expanded enough to start shading them out too. I have
spring-blooming crocus around there that bloom every year - maybe the
saffron get too much shade when they have foliage? They do come up, just
don't bloom. Fertilizer? Planted too deep?
I'll have to go look for them again, I haven't paid much attention to that
area this year. Sheesh just talking about this makes me think of a list of
things to do that's about a mile long. I have daffodils that should have
been dug and divided this summer, the amaryllis belladonna should have been
divided this summer, I haven't seen my lycoris come up yet...
Wish I could grow oriental poppies. I love their looks but they bloom during
the windiest time of year here. You come out in the morning and there's this
gorgeous flower, but by 3 o'clock it's a tattered mess. My best
wind-protected area is behind the house, where the dogs do not allow
anything you'd actually want to grow. Weeds are fine, flowers they dig up.

remind me what zone you're in? These saffron crocus are in full sun along
the front walk. They get some morning shade in summer from daylilies and
are covered when the oriental poppies are green & blooming. These have gone
from 6 corms to clumps of a dozen plus in 3 years. I displaced some while
planting annuals there & so have a few in other spots. We'll see how they
do. A couple are in full shade except for midsummer. The other crocus are
happy there, so I have hope.

Airbnb vs. Uber: Which Brand Engages the Most Video Viewers? [Brand vs Brand]
Greg Jarboe
Airbnb and Uber may not be direct competitors, but they are both leading brands in the 'on-demand' economy. We look at how both companies are using video to tell there particular stories, and find that there's plenty of room for improvement when it comes to driving an engaged audience.
