LEED BD+C: New Construction v3 - LEED 2009
Olas Verdes Hotel
Nicoya, 1000
Costa Rica
LEED Platinum 2016
Olas Verdes is a Costa Rican boutique hotel in Playa Guiones, Nosara and it is the first LEED Platinum hotel in Costa Rica. There are 17 suites across five, two-story buildings, each representing a different region of Costa Rica featuring distinct color palettes and authentic decor from local artisans in their respective province. The hotel also partnered with the Nosara Recycling Center to collect specific types of glass bottles over several months for different colors in the upcycled countertops and two mosaics made by local artists.
Appointing 22 native Costa Rican staff in all levels of management was an important factor to Olas Verdes' founders, who started the project because of their love for Costa Rica's people and culture. Their dedication to preserving the fragile ecosystems that make the rural beach town so unique is why Olas Verdes strived for LEED standards from day one—hoping to catalyze the inception of LEED projects in the region.
Water conservation was of the utmost priority for the owners since Nosara is in a five-year drought, which is why Olas Verdes installed 14,000 liters of underground rainwater storage. Each "Casita" uses ultra low-flow water fixtures and all of the property's greywater is treated in a chemical-free wastewater treatment system. The water is then recycled for irrigating all of the native vegetation that was diligently sourced for six months before installation. As a result, the property seamlessly blends with the neighboring Ostional Wildlife Refuge and provides additional habitat for various fauna who frequent the hotel grounds.
A combination of rooftop solar panels, solar hot water systems, and battery storage meet over 30 percent of the hotel's annual energy demand with renewable energy, which not only powers the hotel's amenities, but the locally owned restaurant and surf school on the property benefit from the clean energy as well.
The saltwater pool is shaped like two breaking waves not only as an ode to the hotel's name, "Green Waves", but also to navigate around the large Jobo trees that would have been removed otherwise. All of the roofing and overhangs were custom trimmed and positioned to go around the trees on the property while tree aeration wells allowed for the buildings' footprints to sit close to the trees without suffocating their root systems. These initiatives altogether saved over 90 percent of the existing trees on the property.

Ex-Guinness Exec Loses Appeal
A former chief executive of Guinness PLC and three co-defendants lost a fresh appeal Friday against their convictions in a scheme to rig Guinness' share price during a takeover battle for Scottish liquor company Distillers.
The "Guinness Four" claimed that their 1990 trial was unfair under Britain's Human Rights Act. However, the Court of Appeal ruled the argument invalid due to a recent decision by the House of Lords that human rights laws can't be applied retrospectively in regard to appeals.
The court also rejected an argument that the co-defendants' trial might have been biased in light of fresh evidence of an alleged plot to interfere with the foreman of the jury.
The court upheld the convictions of former Guinness chief Ernest Saunders, millionaire businessman Gerald Ronson, financier Jack Lyons and stockbroker Anthony Parnes on charges relating to manipulation of the stock market to inflate the price of Guinness shares.
Their goal had been to make the shares more attractive ahead of Guinness' successful stock and cash offer in a takeover battle for Distillers in 1986.
Saunders, Ronson, Lyons and Parnes lost an earlier appeal in 1995.

Blue strobe lights beat at the side-view mirror by the passenger seat. The police officer approached our car.
Tim cranked down his window. The cop bent down to talk to us. His face was in shadow.
Tentatively the cop informed us of our high speed, which was high enough to be considered reckless driving. Was there any reason for us to be driving so fast?
I prayed that somehow Tim would control himself.
"I guess not," Tim said in a sarcastic tone.
The cop hesitated. You could tell he wished there had been a reason, maybe that I had gone into labor and needed to be rushed to the hospital. He looked from Tim to me, and to Tim again.
The cop said, "I'm afraid I'm gonna have to write you up. You were going 80 in a 55."
He didn't want to have to do it.
Farther down the road there was more trouble. Tim was still the one driving; it was his hometown, his car, he knew it best. He tried to bite at his wrists, to claw at his face. I struggled with him, fought with him, tried to physically restrain him.
At a red light, I said: "I'm driving us home."
The people in the cars around us must have thought we were playing "Chinese fire drill."
With one hand on the steering wheel and the other clasping his hands together so he couldn't hurt himself, I drove us to Tim's parents' house, where he still lived.
Before we got there, I pulled over into the abandoned-for-the-night parking lot of a factory. Tim had been trying to open his car door and tumble out into traffic as I drove. He insulted me.
We struggled. I screamed and cried. An opened can of Coke splattered my dress. He screamed and broke free, running across the field of grass beside the parking lot.
For a moment he was gone. He had run away, vanished into the dark.
I worried about what any passersby might think of us.
Responsibility tugged at my hem. I ran after him, entering the darkness to bring him back.
As soon as I reached him we seemed to merge. We were one screaming, wrestling mass, we were a dance.
I noticed that the moon was pretty, shining brightly over the grass.
Just offstage, gliding along the sidewalk at the edge of the field, a man in a motorized wheelchair paused. He called out.
"There are some people," I said to Tim. "They're gonna come over here." I hoped they would.
Another man was a few paces behind the fellow in the wheelchair. He stopped, too. They both looked out across the field at us.
I herded Tim back into the car. I said: "I'll be right back. I have to tell them we're OK."
I ran to the men.
"Hi," I said, oddly cordial, almost upbeat. Polite-chipper, stiff-upper-lip.
I gave them my speech: "My boyfriend is manic-depressive, and he was just having a bad episode. But it's alright. We're going home now, just up the road."
The man in the wheelchair who had first noticed us had crazed eyes. His mental illness was visible. So was his sweetness.
His companion -- a brother, maybe; a caretaker himself, like me -- did all the talking.
"Just as long as you're OK, honey. That's all that matters."
His "honey" was a balm to me. Not creepy or flirtatious. Just caring. It was dark but in my mind's eye he has gray hair and blue eyes, wears a flannel shirt and a baseball cap. He drinks beer and watches NASCAR and listens to country music. And he's been taking care of his brother for a long time, for so long that it's his identity.
He tells about the rabbits when he's asked.
I thanked them. All I said was, "Thank you." But I wanted to say something like: "Thank you. Sometimes it's hard to remember that I'm not alone. Sometimes the insanity is so everyday that I forget it's insanity. Sometimes I need to feel like someone cares. You have made me feel like someone cares. So thank you."
Back in the car, the madness glowered and stewed.
"I'm surprised you made it back without fucking them," Tim said to me.
I had never had sex; I was waiting until Tim and I were married.
Tim loves me.
As we drove past the men, Tim held up his middle finger at them.
It didn't end there. It will never end there, or there, or there.
It will never end.
I pulled the car up to Tim's parents' house. He frothed because the next-door neighbors had parked their huge pick-up truck in front of Tim's house again instead of in the neighbor's own empty driveway. I tried for a moment to stop him, but sometimes I give up. I just sat there in the car as he rushed over to the neighbor's door. Let him suffer the consequences of his actions.
"And we'd like to be able to park our own fucking cars in front of our own fucking house!" He said this before he walked away from the neighbor.
I followed Tim inside his parents' house. His parents were awake, just inside, in the living room of their small house. They asked what was wrong.
Tim raced to his room. Once back there, he began to drag a souvenir alligator claw across his wrist.
The claw was a gift from an uncle who lived in Florida. Tim loves Florida. Years before I met him, a family trip to Florida had brightened up a bout of depression he'd been unable to shake.
"I love Florida because even early in the morning you open the door and the heat hits you -- it almost knocks you down -- and you can't escape the fact that it's summer."
Tim's dad, a former police officer, got the claw away from Tim and restrained him. His mom tried to soothe him, while his dad held him down expertly.
To no one in particular, I said I was going to go apologize to the neighbors.
Outside the house I saw a still-life, a tableau. It looked like a painting or a posed photograph. The woman from next door stood at her doorway, the light above it shining. Her husband stood mutely in his front yard as if expecting to fight. His rage was just below the surface. Tim had cursed at the man's wife -- the man was ready to deal blows. The woman was already beginning to yell out her offense.
The houses are not that far apart. The neighborhood is redneck working-class, and Tim often complains about the single-celled, white-trash organisms that inhabit it. It was just a few steps from Tim's parents' front stoop to the light-bathed yard of the neighbors. But in my mind I see the distance stretched out laterally, and I see the scene from far away.
I see a girl tripping as she runs -- and she's been running all night, with as much purpose as if she had a baton to hand off to the next runner -- into the light, the blame, and the accusations. This is southwestern Virginia, and here she is wearing a preppy dress from the Gap, with a northern lack of accent. She's a young Yankee yuppie, and she knows all of this will make the neighbors feel alienated and defensive. She's out of breath and has dropped the car keys somewhere in the dark grass and is stumbling over her words as she tries to explain.
I gave the man my speech, which sounded so rehearsed by now. He interrupted me.
"He cursed my wife out!" He said more. And then he softened.
He looked down -- he seems very high above me in my memory -- and he could see that I was floundering, that my life is crazy, that I truly regretted something I had not done. He stopped yelling and became a statue again, glaring at Tim's house.
His wife came over to us. I recited my explanation to her. To my surprise, she said: "Well, two of my boys are manic-depressive, too."
Two of her children.
But she yelled some more, said she didn't know whose car that was parked in front of their house.
I said, "Well, I don't know about that. But I'm very sorry."
And then I broke. I cried shamelessly in front of these strangers.
Two of her children are manic-depressive, too.
The woman hugged me as I cried. The intimacy felt natural even though we were strangers. I remember that her blouse was white and pink, and that I got some tears on it.
"Honey, how long have you been with him? Long enough to really know him?" Her words sounded like an eerie psychic hint.
I didn't answer her questions because I remembered that I was needed inside the house.
Inside, Tim was pinned to the floor, flanked by his parents. His dad had threatened, lovingly, to take him to "a hospital" if he didn't calm down. In a hysterical shrill, Tim screamed: "I'll kill myself tonight if you take me to a fucking hospital!"
His dad said, "Well, what do you want me to do, son?" in his gentle Southern voice.
Tim said: "Get me a gun."
I was standing in the darkness of the bathroom doorway. I was hiding. Tim's parents called for me to come into his room to help calm him down. I entered the room and knelt beside him, dutifully taking the hand of this person I didn't know.
In what we all hoped was the calm after the storm, as his mom "shushhh"ed Tim and stroked his hair, and his dad rubbed his back, I relived Tim's insults from earlier. "Let me go, you fucking slut!" is what he said to me after I parked the car in the lot, before he ran across the field. It's hard to say what had triggered this; it could have been that the hem of my dress stopped too many inches above my knees. The cause never mattered anyway -- all he needed was a trigger, pick a trigger, any trigger.
I loved Tim. I remembered the way he was when I had first met him, a guy who read Byron during his breaks while working the midnight shift at a steel foundry, a guy who had a soft spot for animals and always gave a dollar to homeless people, a guy who had fallen in love with me.
Lately when I need to think of something happy, I think of a book I bought recently. It's full of ideas for decorating your first apartment. Tim and I had talked about getting married and renting a little apartment together as soon as we could after I graduate from college. It's just a small dream, a little candle at the end of the tunnel, but it gets snuffed out when this happens. It happens a lot.
I don't know how we can have an apartment, or anything, when his depression is keeping him unemployed. I don't know how I can have a job when already I'm missing classes and cancelling job interviews to take care of him during his "episodes." I don't know what my parents will say or think, how they will feel, about me marrying a man who is unemployed and mentally ill.
I don't know how I can live like this.
When thinking about the apartment book, I'm careful not to fall prey to any white-picket-fence visions, thrilling instead at the most mundane aspects of the dream: Tim and I would get to share a bed, we would shop for groceries together, we would take the coupons out of that glossy part of the newspaper.
Just a small space of our own, with our toothbrushes hanging side by side, and our books lumped together into one large collection, a toilet plunger and dish-washing liquid, and rabbits.

Podcast: Play in new window | Download
On the plus side, Kobe Bryant is back on the court. On the minus side, Steve Blake, arguably the team's best player to this point, is now sidelined. Of course, if Blake's been the clubhouse leader for production, with all sincere respect to the way he's stepped up, that's not a sign this season boasts the potential of a particularly high ceiling to begin with.
In any event, the show, both ours and the Lakers', must go on. The podcast can be heard by clicking the module and a list of talking points can be found below. Among the highlights…
- We take a look at the latest headlines. Despite having played just two games this season, Kobe's tallied over 500,000 (and counting) All-Star votes. Is this a problem? LeBron James claims there are no rivalries in the NBA. Is he correct? ESPN created a list of the ten best "under 25″ players in the NBA. Did they get the right names in the right order?
- It wouldn't be a Lakers podcast without injury news, and in this case, the latest victim is Steve Blake. The team announced he has a torn ulnar collateral ligament on his right elbow and will be shelved for at least six weeks. How will this affect the on-court product and, perhaps cynically, Blake's potential trade value at the deadline? In the meantime, names like Leandro Barbosa and Chris Duhon have surfaced as theoretical replacements, and we explain why this would be a terrible approach.
- With Blake out, the Lakers' legitimate options at point guard basically begin and end at Kobe. How will this affect the heretofore rocky efforts to blend Bryant with the rest of the team?
- Brian wonders how opponents will game plan for Kobe post-Achilles? Will less attention be paid defensively or will status quo prevail?
- Stop us if you've heard this before, but Pau Gasol's play is being adversely affected by health and conditioning issues. Will this trend ever reverse itself?
- We discuss Jim Brown's comments this week about Kobe.
- AAK!!! Jeff Herington asks us to name best shows in television/Netflix, which reminded us a Facebook friend's recent post about having never seen "Breaking Bad," "Sons of Anarchy," "The Walking Dead" or even "Friends." With that in mind, we try to predict the next show to become a cultural event like "Breaking Bad."

"Saturday Night Live" has announced upcoming guests and musical acts for the month of November on the NBC sketch show's official Facebook page.
On November 10, "Les Miserables" and "Dark Knight Rises" star Anne Hathaway will host the show for the third time. Chart-topper Rihanna will be the musical guest for that episode, the fourth time the singer has performed on "SNL."
Unfortunately, Rihanna will most likely not reprise her popular "Shy Ronnie" sketch, as the star of that sketch, Andy Samberg, has left the show.
Jeremy Renner will host the November 17 episode. Renner was in the top-grossing movie of the year thus far, "The Avengers," and also starred in the action film "The Bourne Legacy." This will be Renner's first time hosting "SNL."
That episode's musical guest will be pop band Maroon 5. It will mark the fourth time they have appeared on the show.
Louis C.K. is hosting this week's episode of "SNL," with musical guest Fun. You can watch promos for that episode here.

Last fall, we wrote about protected bike lanes starting to appear in Lego design books. They're becoming standard in top-of-the-line urban planning software, too.
CityEngine, a program developed to help Hollywood heroes like Superman and Baymax swoop and spin through cityscapes, was bought by by GIS software giant Esri in 2011 and has now been tweaked into a land use and transportation planning tool that can create 3-D models of real cities for on-the-fly modification and analysis.
"People need a flexible design environment to look at alternatives very quickly," said David Wasserman, an urban planner hired by Esri last year to help make CityEngine's street modeling tools fully multimodal. "You can take them through these corridors and let people see the changes as you do it."
Here's a video Wasserman made of the software in action with a model of San Diego, showing how the program could be used during a public meeting or planning conference to show people how rolling down a street might feel:
On the right, CityEngine's set of drop-down menus and other tools let a planner adjust the parameters of a street, including the presence, width and appearance of bike lanes, buffers and separation methods. There's even a measurement built into the interface, based on the formula used in a federally funded 2012 study, of the level of stress a person on a bike is likely to experience.
That and other parameters can be adjusted by users using a modifiable set of "rules" that comes as part of CityEngine's package.
CityEngine is built with its own programming language called Computer Generated Architecture. People who learn that language can further expand the range of software options, including adding new bikeway designs to the program's global library of possibilities. (For example, raised bike lanes aren't yet available.)
A single-use license for CityEngine costs $500, and Esri offers a 30-day free trial. More advanced versions offer source-code customization (in the Python langauge) and integration with Esri's flagship ArcGIS product. But whether or not this package is right one for your city, it's great to see a big company like Esri following in the footsteps of indie developers to help street designers communicate new ideas to the public and one another.
"It's the start of a conversation in general of how can we visualize change," Wasserman said.
The Green Lane Project is a PeopleForBikes program that helps U.S. cities build better bike lanes to create low-stress streets. You can follow us on Twitter or Facebook or sign up for our weekly news digest about protected bike lanes. Story tip? Write [email protected]

Academy Mortgage Team Habitat 2016
On Wednesday, July 13th, Academy Mortgage came out to participate in a Team Habitat day. Because their group was so large, half of the participants went to Swan Creek Lane while the other half went to The Woods at Golden Given.
At Swan Creek, Susan's team laid both tile and bamboo flooring, powering out a lot of work in a short amount of time.
Over at The Woods, Kim's team nailed plywood at Lot 19, working tirelessly throughout the day.
Thanks for bringing your group out to build with us, Academy Mortgage! Your support is appreciated more than you know. We hope to see you back again!

Physicist and Open Science advocate Michael Nielsen has written a new book called, Reinventing Discovery: The New Era of Networked Science. Nielsen walks us through some of the amazing ways science has been effected by the ability to rapidly exchange information and ideas over the internet. The most telling example of the emergent properties that come about through networked science is seen when Nielsen details the impressive chess match between Kasparov and the world. It's really a phenomenal read. Nielsen doesn't just sing the praises of Networked science, he also details some of the failings and possible areas in which networked science can improve. So whether you've years of experience or are just learning that networked science is a thing, I'd strongly recommend giving it a read or two (preferably with a notebook and pen nearby)
"Anybody can participate in these kinds of projects and do some real work, some things which are really, deeply meaningful — at least for some people," Nielsen said. "Not everybody's going to love it, but for those who do what a fantastic opportunity."
Join us as we talk with Michael Nielsen:[audio http://citizensciencequarterly.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/REINVENTING.mp3]

3 Kitchen Cabinet Refacing Tips
Kitchen cabinet refacing can be applied with some tips such as to paint the cabinets, replace the countertops, or apply plywood for the cabinet sides. Applying kitchen cabinets is very important because there are many functions of cabinets especially to store anything in the kitchen. More than as kitchen storage, it also functions as to decorate your kitchen so that your kitchen will look more attractive. Sometimes, you will not be satisfied with the cabinets you buy or as the time goes the cabinets do not look interesting anymore. That is why you need to reface it. There are many ideas of kitchen cabinet refacing that you can try as follows.
Painting Kitchen Cabinets
One of the most common ideas to reface kitchen cabinets is by painting it. Commonly, kitchen cabinets will not look attractive if the color is boring or it is not colored. So, you need to color your kitchen cabinets. Kitchen cabinet color should be chosen carefully. It should be based on the paint colors around it such as the wall paint color, the ceiling paint color, etc. So, this kitchen cabinet refacing will not make your cabinets look better but also matched with your kitchen decoration.
Replacing Cabinet Countertops
Countertops do not only function to make your cabinet easy cleaning and maintenance but also make your kitchen especially the cabinets beautiful. However, if you are bored with the old countertops, it will not be interesting anymore. So, kitchen cabinet refacing is needed by replacing the countertops. For example, if the old countertops are made of stainless steel, you can consider remodeling kitchen cabinets for the countertops with granite. You can also choose other materials for the countertop replacement.
Applying Plywood for the Cabinet Sides
Another best idea to make your kitchen cabinets look more interesting is to apply plywood on the sides of your kitchen cabinets. Plywood has a soft texture and attractive look so that it will not look boring anymore. Anyway, you can follow those ideas of kitchen cabinet refacing above.

Mattocks takes on leadership role
MONTEGO BAY, St James:
The precocious talent of striker Darren Mattocks always promised Jamaica's Reggae Boyz much. Yet, before the past week, it has delivered mostly tease.
Mattocks' speed, power, and goalscoring touch made him a local high school and
college football star. But returns of three goals in more than a dozen internationals raised more concerns than confidence.
Now, Mattocks, with a goal in each of Jamaica's three games at the CFU Caribbean Cup, is finally emerging as a reliable force. His explosive form here has reignited hopes. Yet he, all along, saw it coming, despite a lukewarm third season in Major League Soccer (MLS).
"I couldn't expect anything less," Mattocks said shortly after netting Jamaica's second goal against Haiti on Sunday, which secured a 2-0 win, the Boyz' place in today's CFU final against Trinidad and Tobago and next year's CONCACAF Gold Cup.
"I put up standards for myself, and my teammates have been providing me with the service," said Mattocks.
Sunday's goal followed equally clinical strikes against Martinique last Wednesday and Antigua and Barbuda two days later. Teammates and coaches have noted Mattocks' gradual shift from a brash youngster, who occasionally irked some with flamboyance and appetite for the spotlight, to a player honing his craft and demeanour to better fit the team concept.
Rough edges remain, but finally, Mattocks appears ready to fill a gaping void, which has left the Boyz vulnerable since the likes of Onandi Lowe, Walter Boyd, and Paul 'Tegat' Davis stopped roaming Jamaica's frontline.
Effective scorer
"Mattocks's contribution has been massive," said national teammate Jobi McAnuff post-match Sunday. "... That's what we were missing - a real goalscorer."
Mattocks hardly lacks confidence. And, while the former Bridgeport High and University of Akron player's personality will never be totally revamped, with help from teammates, he's learning to temper his actions, buckling down to work harder and adapt.
"He's getting mature," explained Miguel Coley, assistant national coach to Winfried Sch‰fer. "He's recognising his strengths, especially his speed. He's understanding his role."
For Mattocks, that's generating goals. He supplied a lovely assist for Simon Dawkins' score against Haiti, and his off-the-ball movement and aggressiveness have been impressive.
At 24, and still green to the international game, Mattocks is embracing the mantle of leading Jamaica's charge from the front.
"I expect to be the goalscorer," he said. "I want to be that player they can depend on. I accept the role."
Mattocks has accepted some blame, too, for the Boyz' bumpy slide down world football's ranking. He's endured Jamaican fans' frustration. It's time, he argues, for a change.
"My main focus is to bring back that passion for football in the country," said Mattocks.
Jamaica's draw and two wins here turned jeers to cheers. There've been few complaints about the daunting task.
"Most of the players could find an excuse," said Mattocks. "But I think the guys know what's at stake. No excuses."
Armed with a scorer's mindset, Mattocks arrived here ready to sacrifice in a gruelling tournament, which has Jamaica and T&T playing four games in just over a week. He hit the gym early and often.
Harder training
"As soon as we came to MoBay, I've been doing extra because I knew it wouldn't be easy," Mattocks said.
Today's prize is the Caribbean championship. Tournament failure could have sparked upheaval in Jamaica's national programme, placing scalps of players and coaches on the line. Now, despite a sore ankle, Mattocks doesn't plan to shortchange his backers.
"My team depends on me and I'm glad they're relying on me," he said.
He recognised the burden would come.
"From day one, expectations and pressure are on," said Mattocks.
Yet confidence by - and in - him appears to make the load lighter.
"The coach (Sch‰fer) believes in him," said Coley. "And he's responding to that."
Mattocks isn't about to shun the spotlight, but he's more than willing to share.
"At the end of the day," he said, "it's one team."

Canadian Arctic
As one of the largest Arctic countries in the world, we have a responsibility as Canadian to learn more about our great wilderness. We have to watch out for oil companies and others destroying the environment and hurting the animals. We're working toward ridding all industrial work in our great white north in order save not only the land, but the ocean as well. Our Arctic campaign needs your help!
Energy & Climate
We're moving toward clean energy, but it's not enough! We need action now. Let's start making changes that lead away from such dangers as nuclear energy and stop activities that cause climate change. We need to be concerned about the health and other safety risks posed by what we've already done so far on the planet. Help us change the world for the better moving forward and stop us from certain destruction.
Canadian Forests
Our great Boreal forests are some of the most rpecious, ocygen producing lands on the planet. They're home to plants, animals, indigenous residents of Canada among thousands of insect and other forms of life that don't deserve to be thrown out of their homes. Over 80% of the world's ancients forests are gone already. We need these areas to help live as human beings. Help us change the laws to prevent the loss of our great forests!
Canadian Oceans
We need to stop the mercury poisoning, the over fishing and the great dangers of toxic ocean pollution. The growing and increased demand for seafood has led to terrible fishing conditions, wasteful practices and food chain problems. We need to ease the pressure on the ocean ecosystem and restore balance to the sea which helps us thrive and life. Many underwater species face extinction and it's up to us to make a difference.
Join the fight locally by visiting the Greenpeace Home website and learning how you can make a difference in our planet's future!

Personal Risk
How long has it been since you've experienced a thorough analysis of your personal risks? At Peel & Holland, we do more than cover your home and auto. We take the time to understand your unique risks and work with you to develop a program that protects your assets and gives you peace of mind.
What is personal risk advising?
Life changes – and so should your plan! Personal risk advising means that we take the time to understand the risks you and your family face and then making purposeful decisions on how to cover those risks.
What risks does Peel & Holland address?
|Insurance to Value
|Many companies refuse to write your personal property at its full replacement value. However, with our carriers, we insure your property to 100% of its value. Instead of being faced with a claim and finding out your property is inadequately covered, rest assured knowing that our Family team has your property sufficiently covered.
|Estate Planning
|Estate planning helps eliminate uncertainties in the handling of your estate. Planning ahead helps eliminate extra administration costs, unnecessary taxes and more. No matter how small or large your estate may be, estate planning is beneficial in ensuring your property goes to the people you want, in the way you want, and when you want.
|Professional Liabilities
|Operating a small, home-based business opens you up to greater liability exposures. We make sure your policy is written in a way that it covers these exposures and protects you and your family.
|Board of Director Exposures
|Did you know that if you sit on the board of a company or a non-profit, your personal possessions are at risk? Our risk management process allows us to design a plan to protect your personal belongings in the event of a liability claim.
|Identity Theft Protection
|Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in America. Even though you may take precautions to reduce the risk of becoming a victim of identity theft, it could happen to anyone. Reclaiming your identity and restoring a damaged credit record following an identity theft can take a considerable amount of time and expense. .
|Personal Record of Possessions
|Keeping a personal record of possessions on hand and for us to include in your client file helps you in the event of a claim. Rarely can people remember every important item they owned, which is what you need to know in the event of a total loss.
|Disaster Planning
|When the Ice Storm of 2009 struck our region, we were one of the first agencies back in operation. We were available when our clients needed us the most. Peel & Holland partners with Agility Recovery to make sure we are prepared for disasters, which helps our clients be prepared for disasters.
|And More!

YONKERS, N.Y. -- Happy Birthday to Yonkers' Mike Spano!
Spano, who was born in Yonkers, turns 52 on Friday.
Michael Spano, who is the 42nd mayor of Yonkers, was born April 22, 1964. Spano was elected to the State Assembly in 1992 as the assembly's youngest member. Due to the state's reapportionment plan, his seat was eliminated later that same year. However, he ran again in 1994 and continued to serve in the Assembly for nearly a decade until he chose not run for re-election.
In 2011, Spano was elected mayor of Yonkers. During his tenure, Spano has passed two consecutive bi-partisan budgets that included investment in education and kept taxes within the New York State cap on the property tax levy. Spano is also a member of numerous community organizations such as the Yonkers Chamber of Commerce, Access Westchester, Exchange Club of Yonkers, Sons of Italy, and an honorary member (non-veteran) of the Armando Rauso AMVETS Post. He is also a former board member of the Westchester School for Special Children.

Today the UK is going through a form of torture by sycophancy. The lashings of obsequious nauseating pap that passes for the media of this country are too much to bear. Three whole days of adulatory ass licking and for what? The odious obscenity that is the British monarchy with its attendant snivelling toadies and unctuous lickspittles is celebrating 60 years of 'reigning' over the hoopleheads that line the streets with vile flags and silly grins on stupid faces. Frankly I've had enough, enough I say …. stuff the Jubilee!

The Voice of Corporate Finance
Some of the most successful and well respected legal firms have started to feel the pressure as profits begin to grow, due to the steadily improving economic conditions. Smaller firms have also noted rise in the workflow, caused by a number of different factors, such as the increased volumes and importance of game changing legal implications, triggered by the wider use of technology in their day to day activities.
Moreover, market competition has, without doubt changed the legal landscape significantly, which has, in turn caused many boutique and mid-sized firms to change their approach towards new business in order to stay on top and maintain their strong position.
With new associate levels stagnating, most companies operating in the market have started to look at locating new talent in the quest to improve both productivity and income.
With that in mind, Acquisition International would like to offer you the opportunity to nominate the people and firms you believe to be the key figures who have, through the quality services they provide and their commitment to moving the sector forward, established themselves as thought leaders and assumed their position at the head of the legal pack.
With over 130 categories in which to nominate, this year's awards also give you the chance to highlight the dedicated professionals operating within the more niche – but no less important - areas of legal practice. Simply choose "other" on our category dropdown, located on the voting form and fill out the box below with the specific speciality.
These awards are given to commend outstanding work throughout the legal world over the past 12 months, recognising excellence in all areas of the industry, from commercial litigation and arbitration to immigration law, insolvency, intellectual property and many more.
Nominated by clients, peers and fellow professionals; voted for by our subscribers and agreed by our industry experts, the Legal Awards provide a comprehensive go-to resource for those seeking the truly outstanding legal professionals from around the world, who go the extra mile to get the job done in style.

crankyfrekles18 DEC, 2012yeah, it's called broiling. I've made this chicken at that temp and there was smoke but that's normal. Just turn on the fan in your oven vent and you are good to go. This turned out deliciously and the pan sauce onion gravy was incredible. Quick and easy!Reply

Joris Evers at CNET has an update on the Symantec Microsoft legal wrangling that started back in May:
After initial courtroom sparring in Symantec's trade secret lawsuit against Microsoft, the companies are now shaping up for the real fight.
A federal judge in Seattle on Tuesday approved an order that lets both parties in the case file documents under seal. They can now fully cooperate in gathering information pertinent to the case, since sensitive details won't become public record. An actual trial, should it come down to that, is still far away, though. In a court filing last week, both Symantec and Microsoft suggested trial dates in December of next year.
The lawyers and the relevant folks at Symantec and Microsoft will stay busy for a year, but there won't be any public entertainment.
Symantec sued Microsoft in May, accusing it of misappropriating intellectual property related to data storage technology. The case is part of a high-stakes battle in the software industry, where giant Microsoft is increasingly entering Symantec's turf of security software.
Microsoft countersued in late June, alleging Symantec violated three of its patents. It also challenged the validity of the Symantec patent central to that company's case.
Both moves are common in patent cases. Less common, however, is that Microsoft has also asked the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to review the Symantec patent.
Actually, Microsoft asked for a USPTO re-examination recently in the Eolas case and had it done to them in the FAT file system patent suit.

On Sunday my husband and my cousin who is in college in DC went on a DC tour via segway. I bought a Groupon a while back for a segway tour through Bike the Sites so my Dad could go but he ended up going out of town. My 20 year old cousin had apparently always wanted to ride a segway and she jumped at the chance when we invited her to come with us.
I have to admit I was a bit more of a cautious rider than those two but I could tell how much fun they had. They were zipping and racing around the Lincoln monument and smoothly navigating the DC streets. By the time the two and half hour tour was over even I didn't want to get off the segway.
It was so much fun we even got over having to wear yellow helmets (obviously safety first but could the helmets have at least been black?!).
I love that I work in DC and live in the suburbs but I totally think you have to enjoy the city you're in to the fullest. I love touring the sites, going to the museums, the cherry blossom festival – it's part of what makes DC great. If you get to visit DC or live near a major city and can do a segway tour I highly recommend it. I'm definitely going to buy tickets to the one in Annapolis for the spring and take my Dad then. It was so much fun it actually makes me think about buying a segway for myself! If only…

Blockley is a popular village in the Cotswolds which is found within a triangle formed by three renowned market towns: Chipping Campden to the North, Moreton-in-Marsh to the South East and Stow-on-the-Wold to the South. Being close to these three towns has led to increased footfall in the village, bringing with it good quality pubs and a lovely village shop/café.
As the village is away from main roads, it avoids the heavy tourist traffic and so visitors can get a real sense of rural life, enjoying the rolling countryside which falls within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The peaceful Blockley Brook attracts tourists and locals as a quiet place to relax in the warmer months. This brook, together with the other brook in the village, played a part in Blockley's history as there were once 12 water mills which provided work in various industries over the centuries, including silk production and flour milling.
Architecturally the village has quite a different character in comparison to the rest of the North Cotswolds as it has a more similar style to that of the villages in the Stroud valley, but here they have used a more golden stone. This design is reminiscent of wealthier times as the majority of the cottages were built during the 17th and 18th century, at the height of the industrial era.
Car: Blockley is easily accessed by car, being located approximately 1 mile away from the A44 and approximately 3 miles away from the A429 (Fosse Way), which are two of the main roads through the North Cotswolds.
Train: The nearest railway station to Blockley is Moreton-in-Marsh (approximately 3 miles away), which has regular, direct services to London Paddington, with a typical journey time of approximately 90 minutes.
Plane: Blockley is within easy reach of a number of international airports: Birmingham International Airport: 42 miles, approximately 60 minute drive; Heathrow International Airport: 76 miles, approximately 90 minute drive; Bristol International Airport: 75 miles, approximately 90 minute drive

Grey is the color of the skies when it rains. Grey is the sound of ashes disappearing in the wind. Grey for the bestseller, Grey and her Anatomy. Maybe all Grey needs is to be powered by color. This tangerine hued dress sure popped against these soft and lighter shades of grey. The houndstooth tuxedo jacket also blended perfectly in, creating a rare graphical effect. Loving the leather details on this jacket.

I am a former resident at Charlestown of Douglas Hills Apartments and the staff: Natalie,DeeAnn,Tony,Downie,Chris are very caring and go the extra mile. I had to relocate out of town to Owensboro,KY otherwise I would still be there,I would totally recommend. I miss everyone there very much as over the years they became family to me, I was a resident for over four years and I would go back there to live in a heartbeat! Thank you for the opportunity to write a review on there behalf.
Living in Charlestown Apartments since the fall of 2014 until the fall of 2017, has been one of the best decisions I have made for my family.
This is a great place to raise a family considering the quick 3 min drive to Middletown Elementary, a walking distance to enjoy beautiful sunsets at Crosby Park and the best staff I've work with in the apartment leasing business.
I honestly have thank God several times for this place as it has met all our needs in regards to location, size, laundry, good neighbors and a committed staff that has consistently met our needs in real sensitive ways.
It is out of a grateful heart that I have taken the time to write this review. As a former Quality Assurance Coordinator who cherishes truth, transparency and integrity, I commend you to this beautiful and peaceful great place to live.
Great staff and strong customer service skills from office staff (accommodating) to maintenance team (quick). Lots of amenities at Charlestown Apartments and you cannot beat the location. Safe, fun and never any issues in my 4 years here as a tenant.
Pool never open or lifeguard late. We were told as well as other tenants that certain things "could not be fixed," or "It's not in the budget." Ridiculous. VERY outdated. Management staff does bare minimum. Does not care about tenants safety or health. Mold continually developing in our kitchen from the upstairs bathroom, was told by maintenance that "it just happens" in all the town homes and they can't really do much, so this will be the second time they will come and patch it up, been waiting two weeks for that. Mice in our building. Tenants in the building all complaining of mice. I've caught 4. Next door has caught 3. Leaves droppings daily under our kitchen sink, in our oven drawer, and in the downstairs closet under the stairs. We no longer keep anything in those three places, which limits storage space. We stay for the school district, but we've hit a breaking point. Absolutely unacceptable. The one perk, the pool, is always dirty, which is funny since they are closed on Mondays for "Pool Cleaning and Maintenance." Charlestown of Douglass Hills puts a lot of money into their outside appearance to get people in, but indoors, it's disgraceful. You'd think an east end complex in the heart of Douglass Hills would care more about the condition of their homes, but sadly, they do not.
Terrible, Horrible, please don't come here, Manager(s) super-super lazy, rough language, very old construction 50+ old.
broken sewer system, falling in pieces.
Freddy Krueger lives here, a nightmare!!
Traumatic time , flee away. DON'T COME HERE!!

Houston police and the federal Transportation Security Administration disagree over who is responsible for allowing a man with what appeared to be bomb components board an aircraft at Hobby Airport last week.
Although the FBI eventually cleared the man of wrongdoing, police officials have transferred the officer involved and are investigating the incident while insisting that the TSA, not police, has the authority to keep a suspicious person from boarding a flight.
