What is Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE)?
Assessment financing is a public improvement finance mechanism that has been around for more than 100 years to fund public works projects. Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) was introduced in California in 2008 as a form of assessment financing to fund improvements to qualifying properties, namely projects that help to reduce energy and water usage, and which are deemed in the "public good" (like assessments for school bonds, fire districts, etc.)
Is PACE financed by the government?
There are various models for administration of PACE programs. Some programs are administered by public entities that use public funds and ratepayer dollars to finance projects, while others permit private capital providers like CleanFund to provide construction and term financing (or both).
What is the legislative mechanism for PACE?
To date, 32 state legislatures and the District of Columbia have adopted PACE legislation. Normally PACE legislation at the state level involves amending statewide laws related to property tax law and municipal finance. After state legislation has passed, PACE programs may be created at the state, county, or municipal level. Once programs are operational, projects can be financed by private financiers like CleanFund. For more information about whether your project is located in a qualifying jurisdiction, please see our PACE map.
Which property types qualify for PACE financing?
CleanFund Commercial PACE financing can be used for most non-residential property, including commercial office, retail, industrial, hospitality, schools, healthcare, non-profits, specialty owner-operators, and multifamily (>4 units).
What improvements are eligible for PACE financing?
Typically, all costs associated with the installation of new components that improve energy and water efficiency of a building. This applies to retrofits, routine upgrades and, in some jurisdictions like California, new construction. Also, the costs associated with seismic strengthening (in California) and storm proofing (in Florida) are eligible. See our list of eligible items for more information.
What is an Assessment Contract?
An assessment contract sets forth the property owner's obligation to repay the PACE financing over time along with their normal property tax payments, and clarifies the various terms of the PACE financing. The contract is between the property owner and the municipality in which the property is located. In California, a Joint Powers Authority ("JPA") often executes the contract on behalf of the municipality. CleanFund purchases a PACE bond that is backed by an assignment of the assessment contract (in California and certain other states).
What are PACE Bonds?
PACE bonds are issued in connection with PACE financing transactions in California and certain other states. The reason that PACE bonds are issued is related to the legal framework of municipal bond law and property assessment law. PACE bonds are typically limited obligation improvement bonds secured by the revenues from an assessment contract recorded on the land records of the property. PACE bonds are issued by an entity with the legal standing to do so, and are backed by an assignment of the assessment contract.
In the state of California, a Joint Powers Authority ("JPA") typically issues PACE bonds. These entities also issue bonds for municipalities for infrastructure and other improvements. In states where PACE bonds are not issued in connection with the funding of a PACE project, the capital provider (like CleanFund) purchases an assignment of the assessment contract.
How do I pay my PACE Assessment?
This assessment is levied each tax year and included on the building owner's property tax bill. The payments are due at the same time as ordinary property tax payments. This may vary depending on state and jurisdiction. Contact the CleanFund team for more information regarding the specific payment schedule in your jurisdiction.
Can I make a partial payment of my property tax bill?
No, in most jurisdictions, you cannot partially pay your property taxes (i.e., choosing to exclude certain line items). In the state of CA, a partial payment of property taxes or PACE assessment triggers a delinquency of the full amount of taxes and assessments due during that billing period.
Can I pay off my assessment early?
Yes. Typically a prepayment premium must be paid in connection with a prepayment, which is set forth in the assessment contract.
What is the timing of the release of PACE funds?
Within 1-2 weeks of execution of the assessment contract, the PACE bonds are issued and CleanFund funds the project improvement account, from which property owners (or their contractors) are paid for completed work upon receipt from the property owner of disbursement requests. Some programs allow for progress payments while others do not, but typically disbursements will follow the milestone payment schedule laid out in the assessment contract (and related to milestone schedule in the construction contract).
Can PACE financing be used to reimburse previous work?
Yes, PACE can be used to finance improvements that are already installed and in operation should there be written acknowledgement of PACE as a financing option. CleanFund's Initial Questionnaire includes a clause on intention to reimburse prior to the start of construction, which preserves the Owner's right to be remunerated for work that has already been completed. This might include engineering studies, energy audits, and other soft costs.
Does PACE financing provide for 100% of construction costs?
Yes, CleanFund can provide financing for up to 100% of costs associated with eligible improvements, including soft costs, such as engineering, site work, and energy audits.
Is there a defined time period for PACE financing?
No, once a state has enabled PACE legislation, it becomes codified in the property tax and assessment law. So long as the legislation is not repealed, and there continue to be interested capital providers, such as CleanFund, PACE financing does not have a defined expiration date. Moreover, unlike traditional government cash grants and rebates, PACE financing leverages private capital and does not come from a finite pool of dollars.
Is PACE financing considered off-balance sheet?
Certain industry observers have cited PACE financing as being "off balance sheet". Although CleanFund does not provide accounting or tax advice, we've noticed that some of our clients are comfortable classifying PACE financing in an "off balance sheet" manner. Certain facts that help support this position include: (a) PACE financing does not require any property owner's to spend any money out-of-pocket to complete a project; (b) the payment billings are included on your existing property tax bill; (c) the assessment travels with the property and is not an obligation of a "borrower", per se. It seems that a number of property owners seek to classify PACE financing on their balance sheet in consideration of several factors: (a) the owner signs a voluntary assessment contract requiring them and future property owners to repay the assessment over time; (b) depreciating the financed improvements, or including them in the tax basis of the owner's property, points to the need to reflect assessment contract and the asset on the owner's balance sheet. We recommend that property owners consult their accountant for advice on such matters.
Will PACE financing cause a reassessment of my property?
In some jurisdictions, the filing of permits to perform major upgrades to properties can trigger a reassessment by the tax assessor's office. In some locations, certain kinds of improvements are exempt from reassessment, including solar energy installations (in California).
Will PACE make it more difficult to sell my property?
PACE improvements tend to increase the value of a property through higher tenant retention rates, higher occupancy and improved cash flows. And, since most commercial leases call for tenants to help cover property taxes and other operating costs, the cost of the financing is effectively very low and not worth prepaying. In general, it is easier to sell a property without end-of-life concerns around building systems — projects that can be financed through PACE.
Why should my mortgage lender care about PACE?
In nearly all cases, PACE legislation or local PACE program rules require mortgage lender acknowledgement or consent to the PACE financing. What this means, in practice, is that before CleanFund can close on financing for PACE improvements, the Owner must first receive an acknowledgement of the PACE financing by any mortgage lender on the subject property. Because PACE financed projects increase the property value, lenders should be able to get comfortable with the financing. Although the PACE assessment is senior to all private forms of debt, including mortgages, the amount of the PACE assessment that is senior to mortgage debt is only the amount of past due PACE payments (if any). This fact alone helps many banks to acknowledge the PACE financing. CleanFund is always willing and able to assist in educating your lender on the benefits of PACE.
How does PACE work with an existing lease structure for multi-tenant properties?
Typically this will be spelled out in each lease. Under a triple-net lease, tenants will pay for their share of increase in building expenses so the cost of PACE improvements can be passed through to tenants. Some leases will have restrictions on increases in property taxes but these are generally only with respect to increases which come as a result of new property taxes related to a sale in CA.
How does PACE address the issue of split incentives?
Property Owners will benefit from PACE financing to the extent that improvements increase the value of the property by replacing or retrofitting outdated building systems. The savings for Owners will also materialize in the form of higher lease rates. Lastly, PACE improvements tend to improve lease-up rates and increase tenant retention.
Who is CleanFund and how long have you been around?
CleanFund Commercial PACE Capital, Inc., is the leading company dedicated to Commercial PACE financing. We have been around since the inception of the PACE industry and have offices in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles. The Company has now grown to more than 20 professionals with deep expertise in commercial real estate, finance, government policy, and clean energy.
How does CleanFund fit into the PACE ecosystem?
CleanFund is a private capital provider for commercial PACE projects (not residential). We identify, underwrite and fund projects for property owners across the country. CleanFund works closely with owners of qualifying properties to assess project feasibility, and to make smooth the process of getting approval by local government or private program administrators. CleanFund coordinates with PACE Program Administrators, Contractors, and Mortgage Lenders throughout the transaction approval process to take a project from conception to closing and funding.
What is the typical project timeline from Initial Application to Closing/Funding?
The transaction process can last anywhere from 6 to 12 weeks. Project timeline will vary contingent upon several factors, including the speed at which a property's mortgage lender acknowledges or consents to the transaction.
How many projects has CleanFund completed?
To date, CleanFund has financed over 40 individual projects representing tens of millions of projects in multiple jurisdictions across the US, most notably in California and Connecticut.

If this was the right project in the right location, don't you think that the City of Temecula, the Temecula Valley Chamber and the Pechanga Indians would show their support? WRONG PROJECT ~ WRONG LOCATION!
The Press-Enterprise agrees...the proposed Liberty Quarry is in the WRONG LOCATION.

|Enterprise Bill
Mr. Barnes: Given the hon. Gentleman's line of argument about people finding it easier to go bankrupt and the considerable worries about that, why does he support new clause 9, which seems quite an admirable provision, but which would make it easier for people to go bankrupt?
Mr. Hendry: We are trying to make the system fairer rather than easier. The students who will be most affected will be those from less well-off backgrounds. If we consider the level of indebtedness of people leaving university, we see that those from middle class and more wealthy families have the lowest indebtedness. That is not surprising, because their parents are better able to support them.
The people whom we are doing our best to encourage to go to university will end up having to borrow more. They will become more indebted and will be pushed into bankruptcy. We all accept that, for many people, there is a stigma attached to bankruptcy, but it will be directly related to income levels. The people most at risk will not be the crooks, but those from lower-income backgrounds who simply cannot afford to pay their bills.
My hon. Friend the Member for Cities of London and Westminster and I can see that my remarks have had a tremendous effect on both our colleagues, but he will be able to read later how complimentary I have been about the important points that he made. He spoke about the motivation of people who go into business. He said that they do so because they have a
Column Number: 652great idea and that it is only later that they discover that 400,000 other people have had the same great idea and it does not work quite so well after all. [Interruption.] I now feel less alone and isolated than I did just a few moments ago. People go into business because they have an idea for a better widget or something else that they believe will make them money. Very few people go into business because they want to go bust or defraud people; they are the minority and they make hard cases.
My hon. Friend the Member for Cities of London and Westminster spoke about optimistic young businesses, but we should recognise that the issue does not concern only them. Sometimes, because of a change of circumstance in the market, circumstances go against people who have run businesses for decades and they end up in the situation that was described so well by the hon. Member for Wolverhampton, North-East.
In the county of East Sussex, where my hon. Friend the Member for Eastbourne and I come from, there is a major business problem with care homes. People may have run care homes for years and met every standard going, but they are now closing at a horrendous rate, because their costs are rising faster than their income the whole time. People face major capital costs to keep up with the new legislation being imposed on them.
Mr. Purchase: Does the hon. Gentleman agree that it is more honourable and fairer to creditors that those care homes close in good time, before their debts overwhelm them?
Mr. Hendry: I was coming to exactly that point. The overwhelming majority of people will consider their situation and say, ''We know where this is going and that in a couple of years we won't be able to continue, so we'll look for a way out.'' For many, selling their business for housing will be an attractive option, in that it will give them a huge amount of capital. Others, however, will say, ''I can run this business for a few more years and still sell it for housing in the end and therefore still get the capital. If someone else loses out in the process, I don't care.'' We should have no truck whatever with those unscrupulous people, but we should not doubt that some will go down that route.
The people who are affected by those bankruptcies will be the small, local suppliers who provide food and cleaning services. Those well-meaning and otherwise thoroughly successful businesses will then be pushed towards the edge of bankruptcy themselves. My concern is that those who are affected most will not be rich people, who can afford to engage the best solicitors and pick up the pieces, but vulnerable people, at the margins. That is why we must be deeply concerned and cautious about the way the Minister is taking us.
Miss Johnson: I rebut the hon. Member for Cities of London and Westminster's strong and obvious suggestion that personal responsibility is in some way undermined—consciously or unconsciously—by the Bill. The Government believe strongly in individuals taking responsibility for their own affairs.
Column Number: 653The Bill's provisions do nothing but strengthen that important link.
I welcome the recent conversion—while we are talking about Catholicism—of the hon. Member for Wealden (Mr. Hendry), and indeed maybe his colleagues, to the cause of financial exclusion. This Government have done much to tackle financial exclusion, which the previous Government for 18 years did nothing but exacerbate.
Mr. Hendry: If the Under-Secretary looks in the Members' Register she will find that I have been a trustee of the Big Issue for about a decade. I was chairman of the all-party group on homelessness. It is scarcely a recent conversion.
Miss Johnson: I accept the hon. Gentleman's point, but there are wider issues in addition to homelessness here. His party has shown little interest in financial exclusion over many decades, except to exacerbate it.
While I am being difficult with Opposition Members, I remind them that we no longer have interest rates at 15 per cent. Many of their remarks would be relevant if interest rates and inflation were spiralling out of control, but the UK has stability, built by the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Government's economic policies. We now have record low interest rates and inflation.
Mr. Field: I initially put on record that the stability in this country has been built up by business men. The Government have not hindered it as much as many might have feared. Even with the absolute interest rate of 4 per cent, real interest rates remain fairly high. They have an important bearing on debts built up by the very people to whom my hon. Friend the Member for Wealden referred.
Miss Johnson rose—
The Chairman: Order. Before the Under-Secretary speaks, I hope that we will not re-fight the recent general election throughout the course of this clause.
Miss Johnson: I shall endeavour not to, Mr. Conway. I accept that business is a key generator of prosperity in the UK. That philosophy underpins much of the Bill. But the hon. Gentleman's remarks are undermined by the fact that were economic stability due exclusively to business and nothing to do with Government policy, what happened in the 1990s would be inexplicable. The hon. Gentleman has no account of that, except the one I gave of the difference in economic policy pursued by this and the previous Government.
I have been through many of the questions on the US. I do not think the hon. Member for Eastbourne was listening carefully to what I said, because he reiterated his earlier remarks without taking any account of the fact that I drew on experiences elsewhere of bankruptcy; I did not focus on the US. The US is moving in our direction rather than us moving in its. The hon. Gentleman has failed to take that point on board.
Mr. Waterson: What about Hong Kong?
Miss Johnson: I do not need to address Hong Kong, about which the hon. Gentleman quoted a statistic.
Column Number: 654
Mr. Waterson: What about Scotland, then?
Miss Johnson: I do not understand why the hon. Gentleman feels I need to respond to the question of regimes different from our own.
Mr. Waterson: As the Under-Secretary has provoked me into intervening, there may be something to be learned from the results of other countries liberalising their bankruptcy laws along lines—to avoid another unnecessary argument—not dissimilar to those suggested in the Bill. If she is not happy looking at it in America, which is only a Ł200 plane fare away, why not look at Scotland?
12.45 pm
Miss Johnson: We looked widely at experiences elsewhere. We are specifically not adopting various aspects of the US regime, for exactly the reasons that the hon. Gentleman suggested. We are keeping the good parts of our provisions. The US is moving more towards us than we are moving towards it. The strengths of the UK systems and the strengths of recent developments are reflected in the Bill.
While I am on the strengths of the system, it is worthwhile quoting the Prince's Trust. In a statement to officials on 26 March it said:
The House has strong connections with the trust and so hon. Members will know that it has strongly supported young entrepreneurs who have found it difficult to get funding for their business proposals through traditional means. Many of them have built very successful businesses out of the support that the trust has given them. It is pleasing to have the trust's welcome for the Bill.
I turn now to the question of the difference. Some hon. Members have failed to take any account of schedule 20 in their understanding of the distinction between those who are reckless and those who are not. It lists the grounds for making an order. I will not test the Committee's patience by reading out the relevant paragraphs (a) to (m), but they include such grounds as
These are all very relevant considerations. They are not an exhaustive set of reasons but they illustrate the circumstances under which we think recklessness is likely to be shown and to require a BRO.
I can only re-emphasise that bankruptcy is not an easy option. It is bound to remain the last resort. The hon. Member for Wealden suggested that people would somehow declare themselves bankrupt. Bankruptcy involves a court process. People cannot simply decide to be bankrupt one day because they feel like it. It is wrong to think that it is an easy passage.
Column Number: 655Some of the stigma that existed in the past will remain even though some of those people should not be stigmatised in that way in the future. Bankrupts who can will have to make contributions from their income. They will still be required to do so under these provisions. Indeed, there will be a strengthening of the income payments order regime to ensure that those payments are made.
There will be a register of BROs, which will help to improve the already sophisticated information kept by credit reference agencies. The distinction between culpable and non-culpable bankrupts should help to produce more informed lending decisions about whether to provide credit. At present, there is little difference.
The hon. Member for Cities of London and Westminster spoke about shades of grey and the issue was picked up by the hon. Member for Wealden. In some cases, it will be easy to distinguish reckless from non-reckless behaviour; schedule 20 enables the courts to do so. Sometimes a strong case will be made that circumstances beyond one's control contribute to a bankruptcy. One reason why people end up with mortgage arrears—the subject greatly exercised Opposition Members in their discussion of the clause—is a breakdown of relationships. It accounts for about a third of arrears. For more than one in five, reduced income is the key factor and for nearly one in five it is unemployment. Almost 10 per cent. of arrears are attributable to ill health.
We would all accept that those examples have nothing to do with culpability, but, in some middling cases, there will be shades of grey. That is why it is for the courts to decide and why we should not constrain their ability to take decisions on the merits of each case. Many members of the Committee have legal backgrounds and know full well that the particular circumstances presented to a court are crucial for taking decisions on the level of culpability.
Although the Bill does not deal with the issue of loan sharks, a major review—the first for 30 years—of consumer credit legislation is currently taking place. We aim to tackle rogue traders through the Bill and through stop now orders, and we aim to tackle loan sharks through the review of consumer credit and measures consequent upon it. That is how we shall deal with loan sharks and those charging vulnerable consumers exorbitant rates of interest.

The emotional tension is palpable from the start. Sarah a photojournalist and James a foreign correspondent, try to find happiness in a world that seems to have lost its path. Their partnership is based on telling the toughest stories in the hope of making a difference. But when their own story takes a sudden turn, guilt ridden James realises the adventurous couple must confront the prospect of a road less travelled.

CLARK – Students at Frank K. Hehnly and Valley Road Elementary Schools in Clark participated in the schools' combined Science Fair, held at Carl H. Kumpf Middle School. The non-competitive event showcased the efforts of approximately 200 students in grades 3-5.
The students worked alone or in pairs, investigating questions of chemistry, physics, biology or the environment. The students used scientific methods to investigate things that interested them and reported their discoveries. Administrators, teachers and parents from both schools organized the event.

Scientists and Engineers are upset
If you read this site often, you will know that I am an engineer by training (even though I don't currently practice). I tend to respect this profession a great deal as being fairly straight-forward and hard working. As a group, they also tend to be a pretty smart bunch.
One of the major trade rags in engineering is C&EN (Chemical and Engineering News). It is edited by Mr. Rudy Baum. If you aren't in that trade, you would probably never pick up an issue so you may not be familiar with it. I haven't read the publication in a long time but was recently made aware of a bit of controversy by Climate Depot. While the readers of C&EN are likely not climatologists, the science of CO2 and its affect on the atmosphere is very steeped in chemistry which their target market knows a bit about.

Kingdom of Rohana
Kingdom of Ruhuna (210 - 161 BC). The first king of the Rohana Kingdom was King Mahanaga.He was the brother of King Dewanampiyathissa in Anuradhapura main Kingdom. after king Mahanaga, his son Yatalathissa came as the new king in Ruhuna.he built The Yatala vehera (near Thissamaharama) & Kalaniya vehera. the third king of Ruhuna was King Gothabhaya. after him, King Kawanthissa built the Rohana Kingdom strongly. King Dutugemunu was the son of King Kawanthissa. he defeated the chola king Elara & united SriLanka under one government.
Kings In Rohana Kingdom
1.King Mahanaga
2.King Yatalathissa
3.King Gothabhaya
4.King Kawanthissa
The Kingdom of Ruhuna became the major kingdom on the island after a South Indian invasion by Rajaraja I of the Chola kingdom.
Godavaya is located on the coast of Sri Lanka. Here Sri Lankan and German archaeologists excavate the old Kingdom of Ruhuna, gathering evidence of its glorious past. Excavations have been carried out since 1994, under Professor Helmut Roth of the University of Bonn in Germany, along with the Sri Lankan Archaeological Department, directed by Director General Dr. W. H. Wijeyapala, and the German Archaeological Institute (DAI).
Recently they excavated the temple area of Gotha Pabbatha Rajamaha Vihara in Godavaya. The temple area was not only religious, but it was also used as an administrative centre during the reign of King Gajabahu I. A unique Brahmi inscription on a rock next to the ancient shrine room clearly states that this was indeed a significant sea-trading place. True to Sri Lankan tradition, Ahalaya, one of King Gajabahu's ministers, has immortalized himself by getting his name carved in an inscription on this rock.
In ancient times, Sri Lanka was heavily involved in the sea trade and exported dark red garnets. Up to the 7th century AD, these semi-precious stones were found as burial objects as far away as European graves. New research has now revealed that most of those garnets were from India and Sri Lanka. Spices were also exported from the island. The dig has uncovered Sassanian (Persian) and Chinese pottery as well as Roman coins.
Ships from the East carrying silk from China exchanged their commodities with merchandise from the West in the transit harbor of Godavaya, as trade ships from both directions usually did not go farther than Sri Lanka. Therefore, the Kingdom of Ruhuna played an important role as a trade center in early East-West trade. Godavaya was active in sea trade up until the 6th century AD. Along with trade items from Arabia and China, local articles of trade arrived via the local river. [h]
The harbor town of Godavaya is mentioned in the Mahawamsa's chapter on "The 12 Kings". Even in early western books like the Topographia Christiana of the 6th century AD, Sri Lanka is referred to as an important sea trade centre on the Silk Route. Sri Lanka is also mentioned in The Periplus Maris Erythraei, a guide to trade on the Red Sea and India, writen by an author in Alexandria, supposed around 40 AD.
On top of the rock overlooking the entire area was a monastery, which dates back to the 2nd century AD. On the west side of the monastery an elevated ancient image house (Buddhu gedera) and a chapter house (Dharma salawa) have been excavated.
Three different statues were discovered here: A standing Buddha about 3.50 meters tall and two Bodhisattva statues each about 1.80 meters in height. These statues even have traces of the original color. The source of the color is still a mystery, but it has withstood the weather over many centuries.
Historians have been especially interested in the Customs Building, located on the east side of the ancient monastery, which was decorated with ornaments showing an elephant placing his trunk in lotus flowers. Normally, only the King was allowed to collect taxes. In Godavaya, the tax fees were donated to the temple for its maintenance. Clay seals bearing the emblem of a lion were used to seal goods and cargo as proof that the customs duty was paid.
At the bottom of the rock was the settlement of Godapavata Pattana, sandwiched on the peninsula between the Walawe River's inland harbor and the sea harbor in the bay of Godavaya. A landing jetty constructed of stone pillars up to 3.50 meters high was part of the ancient harbor. While doing an underwater survey, the excavation team found one of the four ancient stone anchors discovered so far in Sri Lanka, the other three being found in Galle.
Several Roman coins, beads, bangles, bricks showing guild marks in the shape of an O, a huge selection of pottery and rich decorations used for roofs and houses give clear evidence of a once prosperous time. A quarry was also discovered. One large pillar covered with many drill marks dating to the middle Anuradhapura period before the 5th century AD, lies in front of the the huge rock close to the ocean. This is quite notable, as very few quarries have been documented.

Have a question or problem?
I can't guarantee an answer, but I'll try. Drop me a message!
Error 1310 writing to file: C:\Config.Msi
This error is something I posted back in January 2008, I originally had this problem installing office 2007 with carbonite causing the problem, but it does seem to occur with many other different programs as well.
Frank asks:
I have encountered this problem installing an upgrade of adobe reader, when I uninstall the ask toolbar from internet: error 1310 writing to file: C:\Config.Msi\ec69a.rbf. Please verify that you have access to that directory. My system is Windows7 and I'm the administrator.
There are a number of ways of dealing with this problem, firstly turn off any sync programs such as iDrive or Carbonite as these tend to interfere with this process.
Method 1
Unregister Windows Installer, and then reregister Windows Installer. To do this, follow these steps:
- 1. On the "Start" menu, click "Run:.
- 2. In the "Open" box, type "msiexec /unreg", and then press ENTER.
- 3. On the "Start" menu, click "Run".
- 4. In the "Open" box, type "msiexec /regserver", and then press ENTER.
Method 2
The Windows Installer service may disabled on the machine.
- 1. Go to "Start" -> "Run" , type "services.msc" and press on "Enter" button.
- 2. Double-click on the service named "Windows Installer".
- 3. Check the value in the "Startup type:" field. If it's currently set to "Disabled", then this is the problem. Change it by selecting "Manual" from the drop-down box.
Method 3
Empty user and system "temp" folders.
- 1. Empty "%systemdrive%\temp" folder.
- 2. Empty "%systemdrive%\%windir%\temp" folder.
- 3. Empty "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Temp".
Method 4
Check if there is pending installation/s:
Warning: You should only edit these registry entries if you really know what you're doing. Back up your hard disk first.
a. Empty "InProgress" Registry Key
Check the following registry key:
and clean any entries that you find.
b. Empty/Rename "PendingFileRenameOperations" Registry Key:
Check the following registry key:
and clean any entries that you find.

In Good as Gold, Joseph Heller summarizes the basic rules of behavior:
Don't make personal remarks, never tell a hostess you enjoyed yourself, don't force anything mechanical, never kick an inanimate object, and don't fart around with the inevitable.
Heller's rules of behavior owe something to a set of principles articulated by Nelson Algren:
Never eat at a place called Mom's. Never play cards with a man named Doc. And never go to bed with a woman whose troubles are greater than your own.
You may have seen the rules of civility that the young George Washington painstakingly copied out — and observed through a life of tremendous dignity. Among them:
When in Company, put not your Hands to any Part of the Body, not usualy Discovered.
Kill no Vermin as Fleas, lice ticks &c in the Sight of Others, if you See any filth or thick Spittle put your foot Dexteriously upon it if it be upon the Cloths of your Companions, Put it off privately, and if it be upon your own Cloths return Thanks to him who puts it off.
Mock not nor Jest at any thing of Importance break no Jest that are Sharp Biting and if you Deliver any thing witty and Pleasent abstain from Laughing there at yourself.
Be not Tedious in Discourse or in reading unless you find the Company pleased therewith. [Oops.]
And, though I have quoted this passage before, Leander Wapshot's posthumous advice to his sons in John Cheever's The Wapshot Chronicle always repays attention:
Never put whisky in hot water bottle crossing borders of dry states or countries. Rubber will spoil taste. Never make love with pants on. Beer on whisky, very risky. Whisky on beer, never fear. Never eat apples, peaches, pears, etc. while drinking whisky except long French-style dinners, terminating with fruit. Other viands have mollifying effect. Never sleep in moonlight. Known by scientists to induce madness. Should bed stand beside window on clear night draw shades before retiring. Never hold cigar at right-angles to fingers. Hayseed. Hold cigar at diagonal. Remove band or not as you prefer. Never wear red necktie. Provide light snorts for ladies if entertaining. Effects of harder stuff on frail sex sometimes disastrous. Bathe in cold water every morning. Painful but exhilarating. Also reduces horniness. Have haircut once a week. Wear dark clothes after 6 P.M. Eat fresh fish for breakfast when available. Avoid kneeling in unheated stone churches. Ecclesiastical dampness causes prematurely gray hair. Fear tastes like a rusty knife and do not let her into your house. Courage tastes of blood. Stand up straight. Admire the world. Relish the love of a gentle woman. Trust in the Lord.

Does that mean it's acceptable to kick animate objects, like animals, small children and people smaller than oneself?ReplyDelete
I'm skeptical Mr. Wapshot never laughed at his own jokes.ReplyDelete

A commercial project that allows users to install their favorite Windows apps in Linux
CrossOver Linux is a commercial product that provides Linux users with an easy way (yet expensive) to install various applications and games that run only on the proprietary Microsoft Windows operating systems.
Technically, the application is a GUI (Graphical User Interface) front-end for the well known Wine software, which provides a set of APIs and libraries to emulate several Microsoft Windows OSes on top of an open source Linux-based operating system.
Features at a glance
By default, the program comes with support for a very large selection of Windows applications, allowing users to install and use them without the need for a Microsoft Windows license. However, this does not mean that you won't have to own a specific software license.
It is distributed as free for 30 days binary packages that support the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS or older distributions, Ubuntu 12.10 or newer, Linux Mint 14 or newer, Debian GNU/Linux Wheezy or any other distro that uses Debian packages, as well as Red Hat, Fedora and other RPM-based operating systems.
Supported Windows applications
Considering the fact that CrossOver is just a simple user interface for Wine, it comes with support for all the applications that can be installed by the latter, such as the entire Microsoft Office 2007/2003/XP/2000/97 suite, including Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Outlook, and Microsoft Access.
Among some other Windows-only applications that can be installed by this software, we can mention Internet Explorer, Microsoft Project, Adobe Photoshop, Lotus Notes, Microsoft Visio, Quicken, FrameMaker, Shockwave Director, QuickTime, Windows Media Player, as well as numerous games.
Bottom line
We will give only three stars to this project, simply because it is not moral to take advantage of an open source project, just because it's popular, create a simple interface for it and sell it. There are several other Wine GUI front-ends out there, completely free and far better than CrossOver!
