SOURCE: Battery going dead 2001 BMW 330i
Whenever a car has this type of a problem, it is normally because of poor connections, belt slippage *severe*, or - very possibly, something is putting an excessive drain on the battery when it is not running.
My experiences have been to first check that ALL the connections are totally clean - especially check your battery posts and make sure they are tight with very good - surface-to-surface contact. Remove BOTH connectors on the posts and clean with battery post cleaning tool *wire brush* and then use the spray that stops / limits corrosion.
Are you sure that battery IS OK? Take it in for a load test - old batteries often deteriorate over time *sealed or not* and it just might be time for a new one. Get the biggest 1 that will fit in where it is held. More amperage *rating* is always better.
Poor connections often happen during cold weather season *expansion and contraction cause this*.
BAck to connections again - VISUALLY inspect ALL your cables/wires for discoloration. Connections need to be tight - end-to-end in the charging system. I am not sure if the car has a starting relay or not - and if so - where it IS located. THAT TOO is a problematic area due to poor connections that quite often, just may need to be cleaned.
Are you sure your alternator IS good --- are it's belt nice and tight- but not too tight? Speaking of the belt ... look on the inside track of the belt - has it been replaced recently or is the rubber in poor shape *splits, showing sign of extreme heat from slipping etc*. When you have a load test - that test alone will indicate whether it IS charging even if everything is running like A/C, radio, light, wipers. Check you gauge inside the car - IF it has one - and no matter what RPM ~ it should still be charging *showing positive charging - NOT discharging*. Lastly - the alternator OUTPUT -- is it the right one for that car - correct rating???
There are even more areas worthwhile checking ... but unless you have the correct tools and diagnostic equipment - it can be tough to nail-down the right specific problem. A lot of places *like Sears* will have that - and used to not charge for the diagnostic - because they wanted to sell you THEIR battery.
One more thing .... most cars will have some minor drain due to clocks running, alarm working and so on. HOWEVER - if a light *like an interior or truck light* remains on, that will give you a larger drain.
A battery should never go dead while driving - and your light *running lights* should always be bright .. are yours??????
Hope this helps!

The world's top office markets all posted strong rental growth during 2005, based on an analysis by real estate services firm CB Richard Ellis. Hong Kong and London — two of the priciest office markets in the world — saw the strongest rental growth last year while vacancy in both markets declined.
"Global investment activity has been strong during the past few years, but rising rents and falling vacancies indicate that the fundamentals are catching up," says CB Richard Ellis researcher Steven Dunn. "As we start the New Year, strong demand for office space, modest construction activity and continued capital flow should fuel continued growth in the investment market."
Asking rents in Hong Kong increased 45% between year-end 2004 and 2005 to close the year at $58.81 per sq. ft. Vacancy, meanwhile, dropped by 2.1% to hit 4.8% at the end of last year. On the other side of the world in London, asking rents increased by 6.7% during that period to reach $141.72 per sq. ft. at the end of 2005. That easily makes London the world's most expensive office market, far outstripping Manhattan where the average asking rent for a sq. ft. of office space was running at $44.85 at the end of 2005.
Out of the 10 largest and most active office markets in the world, CB Richard Ellis reports that Hong Kong posted the lowest vacancy at year-end 2005 at 4.8%. Los Angeles came in with the highest vacancy of the group, with roughly 13.1% vacancy at year-end 2005. The cheapest market to lease office space was Toronto, where the average asking price for a sq. ft. of office space was only $25.44 at the end of last year.

greetings all, I was wondering if there was a way im overlooking to get the nas to recognise my active directory domain ( accounts etc ) or to somehow link the nas as best as possible to the domain controller. preferably fully intigrated into the domain.., but for it to be completely accesible by the domain controller would suffice to ( at minimum that would have to mean, "login-less" acces to the drive. to for example allow WSUS to store update data onto it without running into the " acces denied " error ( it cannot provide non domain credentials )
would there be any custom firmware or programs for this.., or is there something im overlooking already present by default? ( like ldaps perhaps? )
kind regards
ps. awesome forum glad I found you all in my search for an answer

The sense of fashion in children these days develop from an early age owing to their exposure to the world in the form of smartphones and television.

Timber-salmon plan gets federal go-ahead
June 6, 2006
By Seattle Times staff and wire reports
OLYMPIA — In one of the most sweeping deals of its kind in the nation, federal officials Monday agreed to shield timber companies and forest landowners from provisions of the Endangered Species Act for 50 years if they follow new state rules to protect salmon when logging.
The contentious, hard-fought agreement grew out of rules approved by the state Legislature in 1999 that will govern 9.3 million acres of public and private state forest land. The rules will require loggers to leave more trees near streams, reduce timber harvest on unstable slopes and control runoff on private land across the state.
In exchange, the government will give the state's thousands of participating landowners assurances that they won't be required to further restrict use of their land to save fish.
The blueprint, known formally as a Habitat Conservation Plan, and its organizers were praised by officials from the state, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service, who consider it the only way to ensure salmon and timber harvesting can both survive in rural Washington.
"Their health and their well-being mirror our health and our well-being," Gov. Chris Gregoire said.
Timber-industry officials were equally pleased.
"We're proud to have the guts to stay the course," said Bill Wilkerson, director of the timber industry's Washington Forest Protection Association.
The idea behind the plan was simple: Provide landowners with some kind of regulatory certainty, and offer rules flexible enough that they could change when new science suggests that new ideas are needed to restore healthy runs of salmon, steelhead and bull trout.
But environmentalists, who backed out of initial negotiations seven years ago claiming their positions would never be seriously considered, remain deeply skeptical that the program will work as designed.
"Our concern is that it is nowhere near protective enough," said environmentalist Glen Spain, of the Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen. "Will this adequately protect the state's fish runs? That's a big open question."
Miguel Perez-Gibson, a policy adviser for a collection of conservation groups known as the Forest and Fish Conservation Caucus, said, "while this plan is a step in the right direction, we want it to be able to adjust to new biology and new science."
Even some landowners are concerned that the package was geared more toward helping the state's largest landowners.
Sherry Fox, spokeswoman for the Washington Farm Forestry Association, said small foresters are hit harder because they can't shift logging away from fish habitat as easily as major landowners.
Her group is working with regulators to develop long-term permits.
But Ken Miller, a private forester who hosted Monday's signing ceremony on his family's lakeside 40-acre plot thick with evergreens, said that by committing to the state's plan, "We're betting on the long term."

Nha Trang Unit Patch
by Pat Carne
One thing – as I have dwelt on it some – I do not know who designed the 45th and later the Det D patch – one of the more artful guys but I do know for a fact that I wrote up the line that described it. I sent a patch and the description to Tymchak and he loved it. That's what caused all the detachments to end up with a separate patch. I found a copy of the original description that one of the guys scripted out on a Leroy set in the unique Ft. Holabird style. Ah, what we did before computers!
"Delta Detachment's crest is designed to describe in graphic detail, the mission and capability of this unit. The American eagle represents the great and powerful United States and at the same time embodies the role of the United States Air Force reconnaissance effort. The three rays that emanate from the eye of the eagle represent both the all seeing eye of the camera and the three functions of the unit: reproduction, interpretation and dissemination. The graphic representation of the Republic of Vietnam emblazoned upon a white background symbolizes a map, the basic tool of our trade. All of this is mounted upon a field of Oriental blue which depicts both the sky in which the eagle flies and the Army Intelligence and Security Branch."
I was a real bullshit artist in my day. I have racked my feeble brain trying to remember the name of the man who drew/designed the patch but I cannot.

Weight Problems
Given the strangely punitive frenzy of media attention devoted to Calista Flockhart's alleged anorexia some months back, one would have hoped that the producers of Ally McBeal, the Fox drama in which she stars, would be exquisitely sensitive to issues of weight. That's why it was a surprise to see last week's episode strike a quite cruel tone in its treatment of an overweight advertising executive in trouble with the IRS. Fat and balding ad guy George has a sweat problem, and lawyers Nell and Ling believe they'll never convince the government he's innocent as long as he sweats under cross examination. So off goes George's shirt, and Ling and Nell lather him with liniment, apparently because that will stop the ooze. "I need more," Ling grouses. "He's fat." George, understandably, is acutely embarrassed. "This is really humiliating," he says. Indeed. But it doesn't stop there. Prepping George for his IRS meeting, Ling can't help asking him: "Is it hard to go through life as a soggy hog?" and "You walk around looking like a heart attack waiting to happen." Later, after the IRS guy is vanquished, a happy George holds out his arms to Ling. "Don't you dare hug me," Ling shoots back.
Leaving aside for a moment that at $250 an hour, she could have afforded the dry cleaning (or better yet, charged it to her client), this is a nasty piece of work. What exactly has George done to deserve this humiliation ? If you prick him, does he not shvitz?
As someone who has been more or less overweight for most of my life, I've noticed the increasing virulence with which TV and movies treat the issue of weight. It is rare, in fact, to see a portrayal of a fat person in which his weight is not the primary reason he is on screen. In the recent movie Office Space, for example, the heart-attack death of a fat marriage counselor is used as a pivotal plot point played for yuks. As it turns out, David Kelley, the creator of Ally McBeal, is also behind the only recurring fat character in prime time, Camryn Manheim of Kelley's ABC show The Practice. Manheim's fatness has been trumpeted as a Very Big Deal, though everything about the hullabaloo suggests less about how far we've come than about how far we've yet to go. Elsewhere, avoirdupois is used as a shorthand for avarice, laziness, gluttony (that one, I suppose, is understandable), or really, any of the seven sins. Fat actors who succeed tend to engage in an extreme form of self-mockery (really, self-loathing) as a way to neutralize their size.
In a time when almost every deviation from the norm has been reclassified as a disability--you can't even make fun of drug addicts any more--fatness has become the new Polishness: an all-purpose locus of fun. My theory is that this hostility is wrapped up in social confusion over whether weight problems are behavioral or genetic. Recent studies have pushed the argument in favor of a genetic basis, but there is no doubt that American eating and exercise habits have contributed to a remarkable increase in obesity. Fat people (like homosexuals before the gay-rights movement successfully implanted the notion of the gay gene) are seen as "guilty" of a self-indulgence that skinny people (and especially skinny people in terror of becoming fat) must deny themselves.
On Ally McBeal, fat-bashing could well be nothing more sinister than another baroque attempt to distract audiences from the increasingly freakish-seeming Calista Flockhart. But those Ally watchers who resemble Ms. Manheim more than Ms. Flockhart--and that's probably the majority of them--might receive a different message.

Uncommon Ways To Stay Sharp Forever
It's never too soon - or too late - to take steps to keep your brain in shape. And the benefits of doing so can be huge. By keeping your brain in shape research shows that you can reduce your risk of dementia and Alzheimer's while improving your memory and mood. That's no small achievement.
We all know the stereotype of the aging person who becomes forgetful, clumsy, and confused. And while we can't control everything and guarantee that we can be safe from such things, a growing body of evidence now suggests that we can sure do a lot to improve our chances of remaining mentally sharp well into old age. No matter what your age - whether you're still in your 30s or you're now in your 80s or anywhere in between, you can start taking steps today that can improve your chances from here on out. In fact, research even shows that with the right types of activities it is even possible to reverse some cognitive decline.
Brain Training
A number of years ago researchers began to suggest that the long held belief that adult brains couldn't rewire themselves was wrong. A few landmark books such as The Brain That Changes Itself brought the latest findings in brain science to the public. One of the keys terms that has come from recent research is neuroplasticity, meaning the ability of the brain to change itself, to rewire itself and adapt. Some of these recent findings have shown that contrary to old ideas, adult brains exhibit a high degree of neuroplasticity. In fact, even after events such as major strokes, brains can be trained and reconfigure themselves to regain lost functionality - something once thought to be impossible.
Out of all the excitement a number of companies have found ways to capitalize on the popularity of brain training by producing suites of brain training games. Companies such as Luminosity and even Rosetta Stone, the language learning company, have made these suites of brain training games available on the internet, playable from one's computer or tablet or smartphone. And they claim that their games are "scientifically proven" to improve cognitive abilities and even creativity.
Of course, to gain the most from their games, the companies require that you pay a monthly subscription fee. And so it should come as no surprise that their claims have come under scrutiny.
Interestingly, a number of studies have validated the claims, showing that these brain training games really can improve memory, recall speed, pattern finding, and other cognitive skills. Not only that, but they have been shown to be able to produce these benefits and sustain these benefits in the elderly, which is promising.
On the other hand, a few studies have been a bit more critical, but even so, they admit there is reason to be excited about the prospective benefits.
Is There Another Way?
At present the brain training games have received a lot of publicity. In fact, even the critical reviews and newspaper articles serve to bring increasing attention to the brain training games. And in all the talk, it's easy to forget that internet-based brain training games for a monthly fee aren't the only way to train your brain. In fact, humans have been training their brains for thousands and thousands of years without the aid of the internet.
While the brain training game subscriptions may, in fact, have something of value to offer and may be worth checking out, there are a number of reasons why someone might want to choose other ways of training their brains. For one thing, using a computer or a smartphone simply may not be everyone's cup of tea, so to speak. And one of the keys to successful brain training is enjoyment. If you enjoy the activity or activities, you'll be more likely to do them.
So what are some other ways to train your brain? Well, here are a handful of suggestions.
- Play a musical instrument. Music has long been known to activate parts of the brain and create new neural connections. Whether you are playing piano, xylophone, trombone, or ukulele, you're also developing hand-eye coordination along with brain skills to predict and produce pitch, tone, and so forth. Singing is also making use of a musical instrument - the voice - and has many overlapping benefits with those of other instruments.
- Take up a fine art such as drawing, painting, or sculpture. These skills develop hand-eye coordination, concentration, memory, and many other skills, producing new connections in the brain.
- Play traditional (or unconditional) "brain" games such as chess, bridge, dominoes, and so on. There is a reason why many elderly people have traditionally played these games. The playing of the games helps keep their brains in shape.
- Play group sports. Group sports, particularly when played in a manner that is physically safe, develop many aspects of brain health. Playing soccer or basketball, for example, develops hand-eye coordination, spacial awareness, prediction skills, and so forth.
- Expose yourself to new things. If you have the money, time, and inclination, you can travel to new places, including places with different cultures and different languages. If you do, challenge yourself to learn how to order in the local language and do so. Learn the local customs, and meet local people. You don't have to travel far to achieve the same aims, of course. No matter where you live, you can find new things you've never been exposed to in your own neighborhood.
- Get interested in a new hobby. Whether it's learning electronics or automobile mechanics or how to cook new types of food or anything else, if it is new to you and requires that you stretch yourself beyond your comfort zone, then it can train your brain in healthful ways.
- Read and learn. Any kind of reading can help train the brain, even if it is the latest throw-away thriller. But challenge yourself by reading new types of books. You won't necessarily like all of them, but you may find new interests by challenging yourself to read other types of books. Pick up some classics like Dickens or even more recent classics like Hemingway. Or read a translation of a foreign book. Or read a biography of someone you know nothing about. Or read about history. There are lots of different types of books you can read and challenge yourself to learn and think differently.
Those are just a few examples of things you can do to train your brain. The more of those things you do, the better. The more you challenge yourself to do new things and learn new things and think in new ways, the more flexible and the healthier your brain will be.

Sake Drinking Ronin
Been a while since I've drawn anything so I felt the need to bust out something just for fun. A ronin that took a little less than an hour? I painted the face in a little bit but then got tired of it. Shades of Toshiro Mifune, though I didn't start out with him in mind.
The signature on the lower right is something I wanted to try out. It's my last name spelled in Korean, though I've sure my handwriting must look atrocious. I wrestled with the idea of signing my name in Korean, but the truth is I'm not clever enough to really come up with anything original, so I'll happily appropriate another culture's writing for now.

Urban Sketching : Makati University + Japanese Restaurant
Aissa was judging Project Citizen last Saturday in the University of Makati. I listened to some of teh student pitches then decided to take a look around the campus to see if there was anything worth sketching. The campus itself is pretty impressive for a city university. except for the fact that mayor Binay had his paws all over it, in the form of stylized Bs on all of the staircase and window grills. Candidate for worst epal? Anyway this giant tree in the middle of the campus caught my attention, because it was obviously spared during the midst of constructing the University. It's stands out beautifully, if a little lonely, in the middle of the campus.
Sundays we alternate between my folks and Aissa's. Last weekend was at Aissa's, and I've recently taken to walking around the Aguirre street area, looking for interesting things to sketch. The South has a surprisingly large foreign community, with many Koreans and Japanese but also Europeans as well. This leads to very unique restauratns like this Japanese barbecue place, which wouldn't look out of place on the outskirts of Osaka or Kyoto.

Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club always strives to provide its members with the most up-to-date information on how to keep save and avoid scams while they are vacationing.
Apr 25, 2014, 10:00 ET
PUERTO PLATA, Dominican Republic, April 25, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club knows that traveling overseas can sometimes be an overwhelming experience.

Luckily, as soon as travelers step foot inside of any of the Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club properties, they will instantly be transported to a luxurious oasis that is sure to put their minds and bodies at ease.

While in route to Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club, it is possible to fall victim to several travel-related scams, however. While these issues do occur and do affect travelers, an informed and aware traveler is most likely a safe traveler, as most scams focus on people who are distracted by the sights and sounds of their vacation destination. While travelers can rest assured that they are safe and sound while enjoying any of the bars and V.I.P. beaches at LHVC's incredible resorts, outside of the resort, travelers must remain vigilant and always keep their belongings on them. It is easy to have several drinks and let one's guard down in as beautiful of a place as the Dominican Republic, but it is always advisable to stay aware.
One of the biggest issues that people seem to have when they go on vacation anywhere is that they end up losing valuable items. While there are some scammers out there that will pickpocket unsuspecting travelers, more than likely, the item falls out of a bag or is misplaced. The Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club Scam Reduction Team advises vacationers to keep extremely expensive or irreplaceable items at home whenever they travel.
Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club Scam Reduction Team is aware that many people will be traveling to paradise in the Dominican Republic by plane. While at the airport, make sure to only use secured Internet connections, as unsecure and public connections are prime locations for scammers to hack into travelers' computers to get their sensitive information. Refrain from checking bank accounts, important email accounts and other information-sensitive accounts to make sure that all log in and password information stays secret.

Many retail investors who scoffed at conservative government bond funds 18 months ago are the very ones who are now flooding assets into slow and steady GNMA (Ginnie Mae) funds, making them one of the best selling fund sub-sectors in the industry, according to industry executives and observers.
The funds, which are comprised of mortgage-backed securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association, have experienced a complete turnaround in flows this year from last because of market volatility and overall investor uncertainty, executives say. As other sectors crater, investors are seeking shelter in GNMA funds from the market fallout.
Because pure GNMA funds invest exclusively in highly rated mortgage-backed securities issued by the government, they are considered by many investors and advisors to be extremely safe investments that provide a better yield than money market funds or Treasury bonds, said Whitney Dow, an analyst with Financial Research Corporation, of Boston.
Not surprisingly, the funds' popularity has increased dramatically in recent months and recent flows into GNMA funds indicate the funds are rebounding from historically weak sales. From 1998 to 2000, GNMA funds lost an average of $1.13 billion in net flows, according to FRC data. However, for the first half of this year, net flows into GNMA funds have totaled $4.8 billion. That's about 5% of the fund industry's total net flows for the year, Dow said.
The market environment and strong sales encouraged fixed-income giant PIMCO to offer its GNMA fund to retail investors. Although the funds have not traditionally been popular with retail investors, PIMCO attached retail shares to attract investors who want an almost guaranteed rate of return, said Steve Gleeson, an account manager with PIMCO.
Ironically, the new flows into GNMA funds are coming from performance-chasing investors who were happily riding the Nasdaq bandwagon just a few short months ago and who are now looking for any kind of return they can find, Gleeson said.
"The whole world has changed. That's why we opened up the retail side of the fund," he said.
And there have been other indications that GNMA funds are becoming more attractive investments for retail investors. Early last month Payden & Rygel, an asset manager based in Los Angeles, announced that its GNMA fund was added to Schwab's Marketplace platform in June.
The GNMA fund has recently become one of Payden's most popular funds, said Karen Jacquart, Payden's director of financial advisor services. "The fund has grown about 30% since the beginning of the year and most of that money is retail money," she said.
Payden has taken the extra step of targeting retail investors with its GNMA fund with television advertisements which appear twice daily on CNBC, she said.
Demand for Payden's fund has exceeded expectations and all of the GNMA funds that Schwab sells have been attracting strong asset flows, largely because they invest in high- quality bonds, produce a good yield and consistent dividend and they have a stable NAV, said Mo Shafroth, a Schwab spokesman.
Schwab currently sells GNMA funds offered by Vanguard, Federated Investors and American Century.
Another confirmation of GNMA funds' growing popularity is the Vanguard Group's GNMA Fund. That fund was one of the top-selling funds in July, garnering $16.8 million in net flows making it the eighth best selling fund year to date, according to FRC data.
Driving much of the growth in GNMA funds is the drop in short-term interest rates, said Christopher Carosa, president of Carosa, Stanton & DePalo Asset Management, a financial advisor in Honeoye Falls, N.Y.
GNMA funds are producing an attractive yield because they are locked in at higher interest rates, he said. But if interest rates are reduced much further, many homeowners could seek to refinance their mortgages, bringing GNMA yields more in line with current interest rates, he said.

Elections round-up and results
Wales Labour suffers devastating blow
This year's local election results in Wales have delivered a devastating blow to Labour. Together with the results in England they represent a comprehensive rejection by working-class people of everything that New Labour and the Brown government stands for.
Dave Reid, Socialist Party Wales
Labour has been thrashed in its old heartlands. It has lost Blaenau Gwent, Merthyr and Torfaen councils and suffered serious losses in Caerphilly. Labour used to regularly win here with crushing majorities in good times and bad. Labour also lost Newport, so now controls only Rhondda Cynon Taff, and Neath Port Talbot in Wales.
A growing layer of working-class people have realised that this is not their party anymore and have abandoned Labour as decisively as Blair and Brown abandoned their interests.
Others cannot bring themselves to vote for the crew who have just put income tax up for the lowest-paid workers in the country. They may return to vote Labour to keep the Tories out in the future but not with great conviction.
Labour's share of the vote across Britain stands at just 24% - the lowest for over 40 years and puts Labour third behind the Liberal Democrats. Brown's premiership has been dealt a mortal blow. There is no enthusiasm or illusions in any of the other main parties in Wales and certainly not the Tories. This was a vote against Labour, not a vote for any of the other parties.
In fact this election represented a further rejection of the Tory policies that New Labour has promoted. The Tories re-gained some seats in their old Welsh strongholds of Monmouth and Vale of Glamorgan, but have not broken through in most of Wales. They only gained control of Vale of Glamorgan council.
Voters supported whoever could beat Labour and in most areas that was not the Tories. Most 'old Labour' voters stayed at home. In the valleys it was People's Voice and Independent candidates as well as Plaid Cymru who broke Labour control. In Cardiff the Liberal Democrats, Plaid Cymru and Tories gained as Labour was pushed back to be the third party in the capital.
The Liberal Democrats benefited from the anti-Labour mood and held onto control of Cardiff and Swansea but there is no enthusiasm for their councils and they made few gains.
Plaid Cymru suffered serious losses as well as gains, losing control of Gwynedd, their only council. Significantly Plaid lost seats to Llais Gwynedd (Gwynedd's Voice) which was formed primarily to stop school closures in the county.
Overwhelmingly working people are sick of all the main parties. All the opposition parties talk of change but they all implement similar policies when in power. People's Voice's and Llais Gwynedd's gains show the potential for a new mass workers' party.
The increased vote for the BNP is also a warning to the labour movement if it fails to provide an alternative to the pro-capitalist parties. However, despite a big press campaign against immigrants before the election, the BNP failed to make a major breakthrough in Wales. Only in Swansea did this racist party succeed in making gains in the number of votes.
The Socialist Party standing as Socialist Alternative achieved the best results of the left with creditable results in Cardiff and Swansea. However at this stage the support for our ideas is not reflected in votes. Working people realise that we need a bigger vehicle to deliver real change.
A serious discussion must begin in the Welsh trade union movement about the unions forming a new party through which the working class can fight to offer a real change from the policies of all the pro-capitalist parties.
London: Greenwich and Lewisham
Workers' alternative to Labour still needs to be built
THE RESULT for the Socialist Party in the London Assembly Greenwich and Lewisham constituency seat - 1,587 votes, 1.1% of the poll - was shaped by broader factors which our campaign could not overcome at this stage. We stood in this election mainly to raise our profile across the two south east London boroughs and didn't anticipate a high vote.
Clive Heemskerk
One reason was the sheer scale of the election. Greenwich and Lewisham, one of 14 London Assembly constituencies, had an electorate of 347,000. But only parties with mayoral candidates, paying £20,000 to stand, could advertise in a booklet delivered freepost to every household, or get regional TV and radio broadcasts.
Our candidate was Chris Flood, well known in Lewisham's Telegraph Hill ward as a Socialist Party councillor there alongside Ian Page. But Telegraph Hill was only one of 35 wards in the constituency.
We produced 12,000 leaflets - eight for every vote won! - and they had an impact. At the April meeting of Lewisham council the Green group leader Darren Johnson (also a member of the London Assembly), angrily waved our leaflet revealing councillors' real record on NHS cuts as he denounced 'Chris Flood's grubby little party'!
More importantly, we had more e-mails and tear-off slips returned than in previous elections, of people volunteering to help the campaign. But these were still small ripples in a bigger pool.
For the hundreds of thousands of voters who didn't know the real position, the Greens appeared as the radical alternative to New Labour, picking up votes in Greenwich and Lewisham while the Liberal Democrats fell back. And then there was the impact of the threat of the Tories' Boris Johnson winning the London mayoralty.
This was confirmed on polling day when we visited supporters identified from previous elections in Telegraph Hill (before then we had concentrated on leafleting, and campaign stalls outside our Telegraph Hill base).
The majority of our firm supporters were still intending to vote socialist. But a majority of those down as 'possible Socialist Party voters' from previous polls, while often assuring us of their support in future local elections, were voting this time 'to stop the Tories'.
This shows once again the importance of being seen as a credible contender in an election contest. That was why Chris and Ian had written to various campaigning and trade union organisations last summer, including the RMT's Bob Crow, calling for discussions on building a broad election list.
Unfortunately the RMT stepped back from standing candidates and an opportunity for a serious London-wide electoral challenge to the establishment parties was lost.
The SWP-led 'Left List' did stand in every seat, with an entry in the freepost booklet and a TV and radio broadcast, and with these advantages, polled 2,045 votes (1.37%) in Greenwich and Lewisham. But this was less than the 3,981 votes (4.2%) Ian Page polled as the Socialist Alliance candidate in 2000, still today the best vote for a left candidate in Greenwich and Lewisham. Indeed, across London the Left List polled less well than the Socialist Alliance did in 2000 - showing that they cannot claim to be the broad left workers' alternative to New Labour, which still needs to be built.
Baguley, Manchester
Housing fears build Socialist support
SOCIALIST ALTERNATIVE candidate Lynn Worthington, standing in Baguley ward of Manchester city council came third, polling 295 votes (12%) in this year's local election. This was a gain of 17% on last year's 251 votes (10%).
Lynn Worthington and Trevor Prior, Wythenshawe Socialist Party
The Socialist Party's consistent work throughout the year meant we could consolidate last year's vote which centred on the local 'save our baby unit' campaign, and bring towards us more local voters disillusioned by Labour's betrayal of working-class people.
People we met during canvassing are excited that by standing in the ward we offer a genuine fighting alternative to the three mainstream big business parties.
Year on year the Socialist Alternative vote has increased in Baguley, indicating a growing understanding of socialist ideas amongst working-class people and a recognition that we are the only party in the area taking an active, fighting role in the community.
This year the dominant issue on local people's minds was the cowboy approach by Parkway Green Housing Trust to the home improvements programme after city council homes in the area were transferred to Parkway Green a few years back.
During the election campaign we heard horror stories from residents of how their homes and lives were blighted by substandard work and an uncaring approach. Some people have been complaining for months with no result. We have taken up these cases for people and got action.
The election campaign also brought new recruits to the party and we sold almost 350 copies of The Socialist over the campaign. We expect to build upon our growing number of regular paper buyers by revisiting almost 200 people who we sold papers to during canvassing.
Hospital campaign cuts across divisive BNP
A THIRD year of electoral campaigning in the Huddersfield ward of Crosland Moor and Netherton saw Socialist Party member and Save Huddersfield NHS candidate Ian Slattery maintain his support and lay the foundations for councillor Jackie Grunsell's re-election in 2010.
The standing Labour candidate fought on an ultra-local manifesto of back alleys, bins and lighting. By massively distancing herself from Labour's national policies, she held onto a 1,000 majority. With a lower turnout than 2007, Ian got a similar percentage of the vote to last year.
The Tories, with no active campaigning, boosted their vote from 732 to 992 and have a majority of one now on Kirklees council. They could well join with the Lib Dems and Greens to form the new administration.
Unfortunately, independent councillor Terry Lyons, the other half of the independent group with Jackie Grunsell, lost his seat. Despite some political differences, he usually seconded motions forwarded by Jackie.
With further attacks on public services likely, Jackie now faces a difficult task in organising a fightback within the council chamber.
In Crosland Moor and Netherton, where Save Huddersfield NHS poses an electoral alternative for working people, the BNP vote has always been limited. This year the BNP vote fell to the lowest ever in the ward, down from 568 in 2007 to 360 in 2008. This proves the effectiveness of organising anti-cuts, pro-working class alternatives to cut across the divisive BNP.
Frustration at the 'all the same' parties
FACING 20 other candidates and with one of Swansea's lowest turnouts (28%) Socialist Party members who campaigned in the city centre Castle ward can be satisfied with our 172 votes.
We came fifth behind the main parties and in front of the Independents, Wales Communist Party and the Left Party.
We provided a Socialist Alternative to the 'all the same' traditional parties and our election material was well received, particularly our demand for a new workers' party.
The abysmally low turnout reflected the frustration felt by many towards the major parties. These parties were indistinguishable in their propaganda with little on offer to change ordinary people's lives for the better.
The urgency to boost the Campaign for a New Workers' Party to fill this vacuum was shown by a sharp increase in the BNP vote in the four wards where they stood in Swansea. However, despite targetting Swansea, the BNP failed to get any seats.
Future campaigning against the BNP has to expose more directly their racist and divisive policies and not just try and rely on scaremongering about Nazis and fascists which blatantly doesn't work. A clear socialist alternative can counter the BNP and provide a positive avenue for those disillusioned with the establishment parties.
Alec Thraves Socialist Alternative candidate, Castle ward
Workers' unity shows the way
AFTER campaigning in St Michael's ward in Coventry, I was immensely proud of the working-class unity shown on 1 May. This flew in the face of unfounded gutter press accusations of the Muslim community being insular and divided from the rest of Britain's working-class communities.
Sunara Begum, Coventry Socialist Party
Examples range from a Pakistani Muslim woman, offering me into her home for a cup of tea and saying "Dave Nellist he's my man. He was the only one who helped me with my passport problem," to a Bengali lady telling me "Dave Nellist is the only candidate who is going to fight for us."
She went on: "The Labour candidate might be a Muslim and Bengali but he stood mute when Labour went to war on Iraq and Afghanistan and when they closed the local accident and emergency hospital." She was furious at the self-serving, rich businessmen who were stabbing her in the back, by standing as New Labour candidates.
That party has turned its back on its founding traditions of fighting alongside the trade unions for working-class communities to become a party fighting with the bosses and big business to tread all over working-class communities. Only socialists like councillor Dave Nellist fight for all working class people.
Only working-class unity can defeat the bosses' attacks on people's jobs, homes and services. If you want to see an end to the greedy, divisive capitalist system, get involved in the Socialist Party. Join our fight for a socialist world where working class communities are united in planning and organising society for all of us.

Faison awards garbage contract to higher bidder
By Bonnie Edwards
Published in News on April 8, 2004 2:03 PM
FAISON -- Onslow Container Service won Faison's garbage collection contract, though its bid was higher than its competitor.
The town decided it no longer wanted to give the business to Waste Industries because residents complained it had not been separating their recyclable materials.
Dallas Goodwin of Waste Industries, which had been hauling garbage for Faison, and Jennifer Rackley of Onslow Container presented their final offers Wednesday night during the town board meeting at Town Hall.
The town has 350 households using containers. Waste Industries' contract to haul the town's garbage to a landfill in Sampson County expires at the end of the month. The last pickup day will be April 28, and Ms. Rackley promised a seamless transition.
Both companies included landfill dumping fees in their offers. Both offered to pick up recycling once a week. Both companies guaranteed their prices for two years. Then, the rates would be re-negotiated.
The town had been paying Waste Industries $9.81 per container and another $26 per ton tipping fee.
Goodwin, the company's government contracts manager, said Waste Industries made an offer of $10.55 per container with the tipping fee included.
The town rejected that proposal and sought other offers. Onslow Container offered to collect the garbage and the recyclable materials once a week for $10.69 per container and no tipping fee at the landfill.
Though Onslow's bid was higher, the town was dissatisfied with Waste Industries.
When asked why he offered a better rate after all these years, Goodwin said the company no longer hauls recyclable materials to Wilson. The recyclables are dropped off at the landfill and picked up by Carolina Recycling where it's separated by mentally challenged clients.
"Going to one site rather than to Wilson is a tremendous savings," said Goodwin.
Faison Mayor Bill Igoe said the town will save $6,000 or $7,000 a year with the tipping fees being included in the rate per container.
The board voted four-to-one to contract with Onslow Container. Only Pat Rouse voted for Waste Industries.
Onslow Container Service hauls garbage for 14 municipalities, including Beulaville and Magnolia. The company has been in business 30 years.
"We're heavy into recycling," said Ms. Rackley, who promised to pass any new savings on to the town. "The recycling goes to a facility in Greenville. We do a lot of recycling with the Duplin County schools and the Lenoir County schools."
She said Onslow Container picks up both municipal solid waste and cardboard at the schools. She promised to bring brochures, send mailings and work with the school children to promote recycling.
Frances Parks, who educated the town about recycling through the school children years ago, said the participation rate used to be more than 40 percent. She said she still recycles every day.
The town's recycling rate over the years has dropped to 17 percent, Goodwin said.
"It really 'gets me' that Waste Industries is now down to $10.55 and say the reason is they no longer have to haul the recyclables to Wilson," said Mrs. Parks.
She said Onslow Container is going to take the recyclables farther than Wilson every week, "and it's pennies more than theirs."
She said the town has been taken for $6,000 a year, and Onslow Container is still going to make money on its deal with the town.

SOURCE: Diet Doc Weight Loss
February 03, 2017 01:00 ET
JUNEAU, AK--(Marketwired - February 03, 2017) - With obesity rates quickly rising for nearly 50 years in the U.S., over a third of all American adults are considered "obese". Nearly 80% of Americans claim to be "trying to eat healthier" and 20% are "actively dieting" but despite some progress, obesity rates continue to increase. Not surprisingly, the weight loss market has grown to over $64 billion. With tempting fatty foods readily available and daily stress leading to issues like emotional eating, blood sugar elevation (and ultimately diabetes) are common as well.
According to Dr. Nishant Rao, resident medical expert at Diet Doc, a nationally recognized weight loss center, it is crucial to regulate blood sugar. When it is well-regulated, blood sugar levels have no negative effects on weight loss or health. When blood sugar level elevates too much, however, the body's ability to process glucose is obstructed and it stores the extra glucose as fat. This can ultimately lead to worse issues like diabetes, heart disease, or even obesity. For this reason, blood sugar regulation is a crucial component of any comprehensive diet program, as the experts at Diet Doc like Dr. Rao recognize.
According to Dr. Rao, "Diet Doc uses low carb dietary principles along with the Ketogenic diet to facilitate sizable drops in blood sugar, which can allow for fat loss to occur more effectively." In severe cases, variations of intermittent fasting, or IF, may also be employed in order to "create extended fasting windows which further reduce blood sugar, allowing for fat to get used without storing sugar." At Diet Doc, the unique dietary needs of each individual are considered in order to maximize efficiency, safety and maximal results. For this reason, all patients receive custom-designed weight loss programs and diet consulting. With a safe, doctor-supervised diet plan and guidance for life, Diet Doc patients gain the following benefits within the very first month:
For patients struggling with a low metabolism and excess stored body fat, Diet Doc offers a powerful antioxidant, L-Carnitine, which increases fat metabolism by transferring it to the mitochondria and enhances the body's ability to release stored body fat. In addition, it stabilizes energy levels, improves recovery after workouts and is beneficial for cardiovascular health. Medical weight loss like L-Carnitine, especially in combination with effective diets like the Ketogenic Diet, has been shown to be helpful in promoting weight loss when supervised by a health professional and customized to an individual's dietary needs.
With a team of doctors, nurses, nutritionists and motivational coaches, Diet Doc products help individuals lose weight fast and keep it off. Patients can get started immediately, with materials shipped directly to their home or office. They can also maintain weight loss in the long-term through weekly consultations, customized diet plans, motivational coaches and a powerful prescription program. With Diet Doc, the doctor is only a short phone call away and a fully dedicated team of qualified professionals is available 6 days per week to answer questions, address concerns and support patients.
Getting started with Diet Doc is very simple and affordable. New patients can easily visit https://www.dietdoc.com to quickly complete a health questionnaire and schedule an immediate, free online consultation.

The RPI scene is truly well alive and well. A lot of new bands and older bands with a new lease of life is bringing joys to the hearts of new and old RPI fans, myself included. Il Cerchio d'Oro is one of the new/old bands which has recently re-surfaced again. I got in touch with Gino & Franco from Il Cerchio d'Oro who kindly answered my questions.
Il Cerchio d'Oro were formed in the 1970s and released some singles, later re-released as the Il Cerchio d'Oro compilation album in 1999. Did any of the Il Cerchio d'Oro members have backgrounds from other bands and which bands were you influenced by ?
Il Cerchio d'Oro members were so young at the time, only a couple of them played in a teen ager beat group. We were influenced by some beat bands at first (such as Beatles and Beach Boys and others) then by prog bands such as Pink Floyd , Yes and some italian one: Le Orme, New Trolls and The Trip among others.
When and why did Il
Cerchio d'Oro break up after the release of
these singles ? What were you up to during the 25 years long break ?
In that period prog music was losing interest, so the group changed name (Black out), 2 members and genre (hard rock) and recorded a single with a few concerts afterwards. Then the band broke up. After a while the rhythm section (Gino and Giuseppe Terribile) with guitarist Roberto Giordana created the Beatles cover band "Cavern" with some records and many gigs. The other Cerchio d'oro members stopped music activity.
Please give me your (long or brief) thoughts and lowdowns on that compilation album Il Cerchio d'Oro from 1999
it doesn't reflect the spirit
of the group. It's a compilation featuring demos (band rehearsals)
and the songs published on the 3 singles (the latest 2 commercial and
so far from prog sound) anyway for us is a "souvenir"
I gather that the La Quadratura del Cerchio album from 2006 also was a compilation of older demos and rehearsal tapes. Please tell us more about this album.
This album, even if the execution and the recording quality is not perfect, better represents the spirit of the group at the beginning (many of the songs are performed as a trio) only it mainly features cover songs ...
Il Cerchio d'Oro returned again after this long break to release a proper album in 2008 named Il Viaggio di Colombo. Please give me your (long or brief) thoughts and lowdowns on this album.
wanted to write an album as we could do it in the seventies (if we
had the opportunity in those years) a concept album with a vintage
sound in which each member could have the possibility
to express something without worries. We thing we have succeeded.
What is the latest update on your band and what is your plans for the rest of this year and next year ?
Last summer we performed Il Viaggio di Colombo live in concert for a mini local tour . In 2 occasions we divided the scene with Delirium (great band of the seventies and our friends).
Now we are (slowly) composing new material for a new album. Everyone has work and family problems, is not possible to spend much time for music; unfortunally we can play only for hobby .
How is the writing and creative processes in your band ?
As regards music Franco Piccolini (keyboard player) and Giuseppe Terribile (bass player and vocals) also his brother Gino (drums and vocals) contributes especially for vocal melodic lines.
As regards lyrics Gino and Giuseppe and most of all Pino Paolino who contributed with the group since the seventies singles.
If I had not known the facts, I would had guessed the Il Viaggio di Colombo album was released in or around 1972 along with the other great albums from that time. It has this brilliant Italian progressive rock feel. But how would you describe your music and which bands would you compare your music with ?
In fact we like that vintage sound. We can compare our music to some Italian bands and we like to imagine a crossing Le Orme/New trolls, but also we hope to have something original.
What is your experiences with the music industry and the many festival and gigs promoters in Italy ?
Concerning music industry we can say not so much: all our records have been produced by small labels, the only thing we can say is that the producers of our nowadays label (Black Widow) are great persons: they are really genuine fans of prog music and it's a pleasure to work with them.
How easy/difficult is it to promote and market your band these days ?
Our music is addressed to a certain kind of people (record collectors in particular) . We can say that our label have distributed the records in the right directions and all over the world: we have read our record reviewed in many fanzines all around the world: from Brazil to USA, from Holland to Canada and so on . We are happy to realize our work has been nearly always well appreciated. All we know that is not possible to have a large sell-out .anyway this is really ok for us!
Anything you want to add to this interview ?
Thanks a lot to you (we know you like our music and well appreciate the good prog productions) only please excuse us for the delay.....
Thank you to Il Cerchio d'Oro for this interview.

I doubt that any of us can really know
the true personalities of any celebrity or politician, but the general consensus seems to be that many do not like Hillary Clinton's personality because it doesn't fit our idea of how a likable woman should be. Is it possible for a woman in power to have a personality that is likable? It doesn't seem like the larger population thinks so.
This election has made me question
my own biases toward women in power, and how I view other women in general. I think women in the United States are bred, in a lot of ways, to criticize one another and view each other as competition, not as comrades. Recognizing this mindset has changed me radically in the way that I conduct myself in the workplace.
I have always chosen being liked
over making my voice heard. I work in special education, and my voice is incredibly important in advocating for my students and teaching them to do the same. Some of my opinions are not well liked but I am feeling more empowered to share them, respectfully.
Speaking out in favor of Hillary means addressing
a lot of societal biases that exist for all women, though particularly for women in power. This means being a feminist. I think many people balk at that term. It suggests a certain type of woman that is not likable in many ways.
Who would want to be associated
with a word that makes you unlikable?
I once felt very similar in being labeled a feminist.
It wasn't until I got a better understanding of the term and what it means for not only women but society in general that I began to feel comfortable, even proud of the label.
Be a feminist. Read about it, think about it, talk about it, but do not be afraid of it. Be a proud feminist.
I think most politicians are full of it to some extent
— it's part of the game we play, however, Hillary is asked to wear so many different faces to make the general population comfortable with her, and then she is called a phony for it.
Some of our grandmothers were born in a time
when women couldn't even vote, let alone be considered President of the United States. That is pretty powerful.

Brand new on Ignescent comes something different. A true double header, with two tracks each from the super talented Agressor Bunx and NickBee. Always showcasing the faster, harder end of the music, Ignescent means business.
Ignescent's first two releases have been met with both success and acclaim, and they are ready to do it all over again with 003, which sees the label's vision expanded through music from two of the hottest names out there. Drum & bass from Ukraine has never looked stronger, and names like those on this release will take the music far into the future. Take a trip on IGNT003.
NickBee provides Resistance with his first effort, showing off his full range of sounds and flavours as he delivers yet another killer tune. The track builds slowing, cutting and chopping into the drop. Tribal
percussion finds its way into the mix, alongside sliding synths and low, morphing bass. Nick always provides something different in his tracks, and this is no exception. He finishes out the EP with Matrix, a
view from the edge of madness, with sliding, stuttering sounds and an advanced sense of funk. Exploring new territory is very much what Ignescent Recordings are all about, and you'll definitely find something new inside the Matrix.

(3803H) Are latch and timer written to during write in and timer value read out?
Latest Updated:12/01/2005
(Timer) Are the latch and the timer simultaneously written to during write-in and the timer value read during read-out regardless of whether the timer is in operation or suspended? [2005/12/01]
It depends on the type of timer, as detailed below:
- Timers 1, 2, X and Y:
- The timer and latch are written to simultaneously and the timer count value is read regardless of whether the timer is in operation or suspended.
- Timer Z:
- The user can choose to have the value written only to the latch or to both the timer and the latch using the timer write control bit setting, regardless of whether the timer is in operation or suspended. During timer suspension, if a count is started after only the latch was written to, count will start at the value currently in the timer, and the latch value will be reloaded to the timer at the first underflow. Therefore, to count from the set value from the beginning, set the timer value by writing to the latch and timer simultaneously. In addition, if the timer is read, the value read-out will be the timer count value.

A Fox Rothschild LLP litigation team led by James C. Clark and John J. Haggerty won a complete dismissal of a lawsuit against Nicholas Meat, LLC and Camerer Farms, Inc., in a closely watched right-to-farm case.
The ruling by the Lycoming County Court of Common Pleas is likely to be cited by food processors throughout Pennsylvania as supporting the legitimacy of applying their effluent as a fertilizer.
The lawsuit was filed in 2013 by neighbors living adjacent to 1,200 acres on which Camerer Farms grows corn and soybean with fertilizer drawn from the food processing residual generated at Nicholas Meat's processing plant.
The plaintiffs asserted claims for private nuisance and negligence, alleging that the odors associated with the farming operations inhibited their ability to use and enjoy their properties. They also claimed the defendants were negligent in their storage, transport and application of the food processing residual.
After nearly three years of discovery, the court granted summary judgment to all defendants on March 4 in an opinion that adopted many of the Fox team's arguments. Significantly, the court agreed that the conduct at issue constituted "normal agricultural activities" that are protected by Pennsylvania's Right-to-Farm Act.
The court concluded that the Right-to-Farm Act is a shield that protects against nuisance lawsuits and negligence claims stemming from the same facts.
This decision marks the first time a trial court has applied the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's recent decision in Gilbert v. Synagro Cent., LLC, which upheld the permissibility of applying biosolids as a fertilizer to crops on the grounds that the Right-to-Farm Act affords extraordinarily broad protection to Pennsylvania farmers so long as the activity in question was "normal" and had lawfully been ongoing for more than a year prior to lawsuit.
The Fox team successfully argued that the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection closely supervised and regulated both defendants' conduct and never fined them or sought to cease their farming operations. The court made clear that entering summary judgment in favor of the defendants was "mandated by the public policy of the Commonwealth."
Clark, a partner with the firm, represents corporations, global investment banks and individuals in matters involving complex commercial litigation, white collar compliance and criminal defense, government and internal investigations, regulatory affairs and insurance disputes. He has represented major financial services institutions in litigation matters, including defense against federal class action lawsuits and internal investigations alleging violations and fraudulent activity.
Haggerty serves as co-chair of the firm's Litigation Department. Named as one of the leading litigation attorneys in Pennsylvania and Ohio by Chambers USA, he focuses his practice on complex commercial, class action, insurance, product liability, mass tort and software litigation matters for major corporations in state and federal courts throughout the country. He has served as national counsel in tobacco, welding fumes and lead paint litigation.

Photos of Yoon Sang Hyun and Maybee's Marie Claire Wedding shoot released days before their ceremony
February 8 is the date wedding bells will ring! Radiant couple Yoon Sang Hyun and MayBee couldn't wait to take part in a wedding pictorial before their weekend nuptials.
The Secret Garden actor and "Odd Eye" singer seemed to be hopelessly in love in their photo spread for Marie Claire Weddings' February issue. Hawaii was the breathtaking backdrop for their romantic shoot. In the photos, MayBee modeled exquisite wedding gowns, while her groom changed it up in black and white stylish suits.
See Yoon Sang Hyun in the hit series I Hear Your Voice:
During the exclusive interview, the engaged couple didn't express faith in fate, but they believe in their love for one another.
"I didn't need a long time to realize my love," Yoon said.
MayBee continued with the following statement: "I'm grateful this person came to me."
They are too sweet together! Their affection for one another is enough to make anyone jealous. It's so nice that celebrities are able to find true love in the midst of their hectic and high-profile careers.
Their wedding ceremony will be held at Walker Hill.
Congratulations to the future Mr. and Mrs!

Before the first bills had even arrived in the mail, government officials in the first two weeks announced that rebates to qualifying Albertans were already on their way.
On top of the rebates, money earned through the carbon tax is meant to be re-invested into finding ways to lessen reliance on non-renewable sources of fuel.
Sounds good on paper, but a recent reinvestment of this money announced by the Province sounds more like a make-work project than anything else. It is also not the most fair way to dole out what is taxpayers' money.
At the end of February, the government announced its new Energy Efficiency Alberta program. Albertans can register for the "Residential No-Charge Energy Savings Program." Those who do will be contacted by a third-party company called Ecofitt. This company is being paid by the government to come into homes and literally help change lightbulbs.
Rubbing your eyes, because you think you didn't read that right? Nope, you did.
Officials with this company will come to your home, and install efficiency products such as LED lightbulbs, high-efficiency shower heads, faucet aerators and "smart" thermostats to replace the non-programmable kind.
They'll even help install advanced power bars, just in case one can't handle figuring out that the larger prong goes into the larger side of the receptacle.
While it's nice to see the government paying for these items, how many households have already shelled out hundreds of dollars to do this work themselves?
Government officials were light on the information around just how much this program will cost taxpayers. The bill won't be cheap with some pundits estimating it to be about $21 million. Some Alberta households require this kind of assistance in order to ensure they are saving the most money they can on their power bills, but what happens when there are complications in the process? In some homes it's not as easy as simply screwing in that lightbulb.
First, these company representatives are going to have to travel. Many people live in remote, rural locations so they better have all the equipment they need to get the job done in one trip, as well as a good vehicle to navigate some rough roads.
What happens in older homes? Let's face it, if some Albertans have been unable to afford home improvements and renovations, then they likely haven't upgraded their electrical systems. Will the government be paying for the cost of upgrading knob and tube wiring in these homes so the newer technology, such as programmable thermostats, can be accommodated? Does it seem fair that a neighbour should get that paid for by tax dollars when a different neighbour has already paid for those kinds of improvements out of his own pocket?
When does the money run out? At some point, will there be a list of names of people who want this service, but it will take so long to get through it and be so expensive that half of them will never see the benefits?
Government officials are hanging their hats on the fact this program not only will save money with energy savings seen over the long-term, but also that it is creating jobs. Ecofitt will be hiring individuals to help deliver the programs.
There are other ways to offer incentives to Albertans to upgrade components in their homes without paying a company to come and do it. How about if a resident can prove efficiencies have been made — maybe with some grant funding received for low-income Albertans — then they are offered some relief on their energy bill from the carbon tax. That would be keeping money in Albertans' pockets, as opposed to taking it away and handing it back in dribbles and drabs if you can even figure out how — or find the desire — to qualify.

Quick Reference
(order Laminariales)
A genus of brown algae, in which the thallus consists of a branched, root-like holdfast, a short stipe, and a thin, leaf-like blade with a pronounced midrib. During the summer, spores are produced in characteristic club-shaped 'leaflets' arising from the short stipe. There are several species; only A. esculenta (dabberlocks) occurs in Britain. Alaria species are found attached to rocks at and below low-water mark, often on very exposed shores.

Garage door struts stiffen door sections to prevent them from bending or breaking. They also allow the door to open and close smoothly. If the sections are not rigid, the garage door will bind as it opens and closes. Residential single car doors typically do not need struts unless it is a steel door that is motor-operated. On these a strut across the top section is recommended to prevent the top of the door from bending if the opener force is not adjusted properly
This video demonstration uses our kit designed for easier shipping for more information on our garage door strut kit click here.
