yeah, I think starting Webb was a stroke of genius for Minnesota. Like the announcers said, these two teams are meeting for the third time since Dec. 2nd. These guys know each other inside out and I would think at Lambeau that's going to favor Rodgers and the Pack. Changing it up to Webb at the last minute and throwing in the read option has really screwed with the Packers and could be the edge the Vikings need.
Of course, if Webb throws passes like that last one, eeeeechh!

NU Conducts Third Practice in Orlando
Following practice, Head Coach Bo Pelini addressed the media and said he's been pleased with the effort of his team thus far in preparations for the Capital One Bowl matchup with No. 6 Georgia.
"It was a good practice. We've had a good week so far," Pelini said. "We'll finish it up tomorrow and then get ready to play a football game. The attention to detail has been good. The kids have been practicing hard and with really good tempo. It's getting close now."
With kickoff in the Capital One Bowl only three days away, Pelini noted that although his team has been focused throughout the week, he's seen an increased focus as the game gets closer.
"I think our guys have been pretty locked in for the whole week," Pelini said. "I've noticed you see a lot more guys in the hotel a lot earlier as the week's gone on. They know that the game is right around the corner now."
The Capital One Bowl will mark the final game for 29 Husker seniors, and Pelini had positive things to say about the group following Saturday's practice.
"It's a good group," Pelini said. "Not only what they did for this football program, but who they are as people and how they've represented the program. It's hard to see them go, but after this game, it becomes time to turn the page and head to the next chapter of the program. We're looking forward to the opportunity we have coming up (against Georgia)."
One of those 29 seniors is fan favorite Rex Burkhead, a two-time CoSIDA Academic All-American, the captain of the 2012 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team and a preseason All-American who has played in only seven games this season due to injury, but is healthy for the Capital One Bowl.
"He does everything the right way," Pelini said of the senior I-back. "He's a special man. You kind of have in your mind in recruiting about what that kid can mean to your program and it's not real often that they exceed those expectations, and I think he's done that every step of the way. He's meant a lot to the program, and I think he's a guy, because of everything he represents, that will be remembered for a long time at the University of Nebraska."
Switching the focus to sixth-ranked Georgia, Pelini was asked to comment on Jarvis Jones, the Bulldogs' All-America linebacker who was the SEC Defensive Player of the Year and enters the bowl game as the nation's leader in tackles for loss, while ranking third in sacks.
"He's got all the tools. He's a good football player," Pelini said about Jones. "He plays hard, he's very athletic and can run. He's a physical football player. He's a good player."
Nebraska will talk more about its preparations for the Capital One Bowl on Saturday afternoon during a press conference at the media hotel. Offensive coordinator Tim Beck, defensive coordinator John Papuchis, Burkhead and senior linebacker Will Compton will participate in the press conference, along with Georgia's offensive and defensive coordinators and two players.
The Huskers will hold a full team practice for the final time on Sunday, before a walk-through on Monday. Kickoff between Nebraska and Georgia in the 2013 Capital One Bowl is set for Noon (Central) on Tuesday, Jan. 1.

Commercial and Domestic EPC - Commercial and Domestic Energy Performance Certificates. Contact us now on 01323 841488 if you are selling or renting a property in your area and we will provide you with a qualified assessor who will do the assessment for you.
We work on behalf of householders, Estate Agents, Solicitors and Councils throughout the United Kingdom ensuring that EPCs are provided in a timely manner with a quick turnaround.
An Energy Performance Certificate is required on domestic properties before a dwelling is sold or let, and gives prospective buyers or tenants useful information regarding the energy efficiency of the property. A building is given an energy rating on a sliding scale from 'A' to 'G', with 'A' being the most efficient and 'G' being the least efficient in energy performance. The EPC will also detail what level carbon emissions could be reduced to, by simple energy improvements. An average existing house would expect to gain a 'D' rating but this will be dependent on a number of contributing factors.
The energy rating of a building must be included in any advertising description of the property as of January 2013. This includes publications in newspapers and magazines and on the internet, where the EPC energy rating should be shown as part of the property details.
A list of recommendations are outlined in the 'EPC' showing what savings can be made per year if improvements to the property are carried out in accordance with the recommendations. These recommendations are divided up into higher cost and lower cost measures with possible savings that can be made. This will ultimately reduce fuel bills for the householder and increase comfort levels. Examples of this may be to increase the insulation levels in loft spaces, or add heating controls or a new energy efficient boiler. Other recommendations may be to have solar panels fitted or alternative measures such as biomass boilers or ground or air source heat pumps.
All owners and landlords must ensure that an EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) is obtained before the property is marketed for sale or for rent as this is a legal requirement under EU Regulations and an Act of Parliament. The EPC must then be made available to prospective tenants or owners at the earliest opportunity. Failure to produce this information could result with a fine of up to £200 as it is a legal requirement that is enforceable through Trading Standards.
An EPC is valid for a ten year period but can be renewed if an owner or landlord makes improvements to the property that could benefit its marketability.
Government Grants may also be available that warrant the property having an Energy Performance Certificate produced in order to be eligible for funding. This may include ECO and GDHIF.
The energy assessment usually takes up to an hour to complete depending on the size and complexity of the building but we can give you an idea of the expected visit length before sending out the assessor to your premises.
Most Domestic EPCs will be back to you within 24 hours of the EPC visit but we will let you know any reason for delay. One such cause of delay may be that the property is not registered with Landmark so this registration may take a little longer as the report cannot be submitted without a Landmark reference number.
Below is an example of a Domestic Energy Performance Certificate
We work for Commercial landlords, management agents and solicitors to carry out Non Domestic EPCs producing Energy Performance Certificates for commercial and industrial premises.
The EPC will determine the energy efficiency of a building or commercial unit with ratings similar to Domestic properties from 'A' to 'G' with a rating of 'A' being the most energy efficient to 'G' being the lease efficient. A Commercial EPC can be very useful when making an informed decision before purchasing or leasing premises, so that running cost factors can be considered and comparisons made with other similar properties. Buyers and potential tenants will be more attracted to properties that are cheaper to run and have the best ratings.
Commercial EPCs have been a requirement since October 2008 as part of EU legislation to help improve energy efficiency in the sector and all buildings must display or have available an Energy Performance Certificate in digital or paper format . Failure to comply with this legal requirement could result in a fine of up to £5000 or 12.5% of the rateable value of the building enforceable by Trading Standards. It is the seller/vendors responsibility to ensure that a certificate is made available before marketing of the property begins whether for sale or for lease. Marketing literature must include the EPC rating of the property being advertised.
As there is a vast array of different property types in the commercial and industrial sector, each property type must be considered carefully before we can give you a quote due to the number of variables involved in assessment procedures. Property types can include offices, factories, retail units, industrial type buildings, mid terrace shops or supermarkets, warehouses, hotels, guest houses and other non domestic dwellings.
For instance we have to consider the type of property, size in square meters or feet, number of storeys, if the premises is detached or adjoined, building age, average ceiling heights, wall and roof construction, wall and loft insulation, alternative wall construction, windows if double or single glazed including their age, heating system with the fuel type making a considerable difference to the rating. Also other variables such as the boiler type, types of lighting being used, hot water system, air conditioning and solar photovoltaic or solar thermal improvements. All this information goes into calculating the energy rating of your commercial building.
The complexity of the work will determine what type of assessment is required. This is broken down into three levels. Level 3 which is the majority of small and medium sized buildings using low energy heating and cooling systems. Level 4 where the heating system is over 100kw and the cooling system is greater than 12 kw. Level 5 which covers buildings over 10,000 m² or small buildings that may have complex service systems or features such as curved fascias or with atriums.
The amount of time it takes to do the energy assessment will depend on the size and complexity of the building, but we will give you a rough idea of this before we arrange the EPC visit with you.
Floor plans of the property will be needed in most cases, if they are available, to help us give you a better quote. If this can be emailed in a digital format with elevations, construction details and with the building services included.
The EPC report will be carried out by a fully qualified non-domestic energy assessor who will be an accredited member of an approved Government accreditation scheme, fully insured and CRB disclosure checked. The EPC report is also accompanied by a recommendation report which shows how the building can be improved to offer greater energy efficiency. Any improvement will be listed with likely associated cost and payback period.
The energy assessor will make site notes, take photographs, draw floor plans if necessary by doing measurements of external and internal zones using the correct methodology and use the evidence collected as data entry for the Simplified Building Energy Model (SBEM) software that will produce the EPC rating and recommendations. Assessors are regularly audited by their accreditation bodies to ensure the correct procedures and conventions are being carried out.
There are some types of commercial building that do not require and EPC, which we will let you know before giving you a quote. These include detached properties with low energy demand that are less than 50m², properties that are being demolished and places of worship. Also temporary structures with a planned use less than 2 years and low energy demand properties such as agricultural barns.
The commercial energy assessor (Non-Domestic Energy Assessor NDEA) will ensure that the correct level of assessment is carried out and produce the certificate in the fastest possible time. The EPC is usually sent within 48 hours of the EPC visit but this will depend on the variables encountered. The Commercial EPC is then registered with Landmark, which is the central register for all lodged reports. We will send you the completed report by email. Payment must be made in advance of the certificate being issued. We will therefore send you an invoice for immediate payment to ensure that a delay is not encountered.
Below is a copy of a Commercial Energy Performace Certificate with the ratings shown.

It is possible that the main title of the report Keratosis, Seborrheic is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Seborrheic Keratosis is a skin disorder usually characterized by discolored lesions that appear to be "stuck on" the skin surface. Warts may appear and skin is often oily or greasy. These skin lesions are sometimes mistaken for cancerous growths and tend to appear predominately during middle age. Itching, irritation, inflammations or unsightliness of lesions may require surgical removal of affected skin areas.

Strasbourg, 15 December 2009
The EU Top12 Recommendations for Passengers
Before going to the airport, check the time of departure (flights can be rescheduled). If your flight is cancelled or subject to a delay of more than five hours or in case you are denied boarding, ask for reimbursement of the full cost of the unused ticket or segments, or rerouting to the final destination at the earliest convenience.
Appropriate assistance (meals, drinks, communication facilities and a hotel room for the night, if necessary) should also be provided to you depending on the flight distance and the delays incurred.
Remember that once you accept the reimbursement of the ticket, the company has no further obligations towards you in terms of rerouting or assistance.
In case of denied boarding, cancellation of your flight, or delay at arrival of more than three hours, you may also be entitled to compensation between €125 and €600 depending on the flight distance and the delays incurred. Furthermore, the airline should always inform you about your rights and the reason for the denied boarding, the cancellation or the long delay (of at least two hours). .
If passengers feel airlines do not provide in a satisfactory manner with the minimum set of rights under EU law, they can lodge a complaint to the national enforcement body in the EU Member State (or in Iceland, Switzerland and Norway) where the incident happened. When the incident concerned an EU airline and it took place outside of an EU Member State, the passenger can lodge a complaint in the EU Member State of their first transit point or destination.
A list of these bodies can be found at:
http://ec.europa.eu/transport/passengers/air/air_en.htm .
In the event of damage, you should complain to the airline within seven days and in the case of delay within 21 days from the moment when the baggage was placed at your disposal. Any other action in court must be brought within two years from the date of arrival. You can get reimbursed up to € 1,223 by the airline company in case your luggage is lost or damaged. If you carry expensive items you should subscribe for private travel insurance, or you can benefit from a higher liability limit by making a special declaration at the latest at check-in and by paying a supplementary fee. In case of difficulties with the airline concerned it is advisable to refer to the national consumers' association in your country or to the European Consumer Centres Network (ECC-Net).
The Commission launched a survey this year to assess lost baggage figures in air transport, which revealed the number of bags delayed at the airport between January 2008 and October 2008 in the European Union amounted to 4.6 million. In 2008 32.8 million pieces of baggage were reported lost around the world, which amounts to a decrease of 20% compared to 2007 (42.4 million). The Commission still considers it excessive and unacceptable. It is closely monitoring the situation and will undertake all needed actions, including regulatory initiatives if necessary, to improve the current situation. The Commission has just launched a Public consultation on issues related to Air Passengers Rights which will also include several questions regarding the liability in case of mishandled baggage and new commercial practices related to luggage. The Public consultation is accessible on line: l http://ec.europa.eu/transport/passengers/consultations/2010_03_01_apr_legislation_en.htm .
For more information please consult the Regulation on air carrier liability in the event of accidents:
Applying full price transparency is an obligation under the air services regulation. This means that when consumers book a flight ticket online, the final "comprehensive" price must be available since the initial page, enabling people to compare prices across airlines and make a real choice. In case of optional price supplements, they have to be indicated in a clear and transparent manner. All passengers have the right to equal access to air fares without any discrimination based on their nationality or their place of residence or on the place of establishment of the carrier's agent or other ticket seller within the Community.
The Commission continues to monitor (with the assistance of Member States enforcement authorities) airline ticket selling websites across Europe for compliance with consumer protection rules and has been instrumental in getting companies to improve their standards.
The Commission has also compiled a list of banned practices such as falsely creating the impression of free offers.
For more information please consult the articles 22 and 23 of the Regulation on common rules for the operation of air services in the Community:
In addition, other bans are available at http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/rights/
Air passengers can only take liquids with them in individual containers with a maximum capacity of 100 millilitres each. The total amount of liquid per person can not exceed 1 litre. These containers should be packed in one transparent, re-sealable plastic bag of not more than one litre capacity per passenger.
These restrictions are necessary as the threat stemming from liquid explosives unfortunately still exists. Until adequate technology to detect such explosives has been developed and deployed at airports, passengers are only allowed bringing liquids in small quantities or if these are really needed during the journey for example medicines or baby food. All other liquids have to be packed in the checked baggage.
A leaflet summarising the most important points of these rules can be downloaded at http://ec.europa.eu/transport/air/doc/security_2006_aviation_security_new_rules_poster.pdf .
The list of airlines banned in the European Union acts as a strong incentive to remedy safety deficiencies. Withdrawal from the list is indeed possible, when the parties concerned put effectively in place sound corrective action to comply with all relevant safety standards. The concept of a Community list is increasingly proving to serve as a preventive rather than punitive instrument for safeguarding aviation safety. This is illustrated by the numerous instances where the Community has successfully addressed potential safety threats well ahead of resorting to the drastic measure of imposing restrictions. This list has greatly contributed to making Europe's skies safer and could be used to help gradually move towards an international strategy based on cooperation between countries around the world.
These airlines are not allowed to fly to or from the EU. However, the EU cannot prevent banned airlines from continuing to fly elsewhere in the world. If you are planning to take a flight which takes off and lands outside the EU, you may wish to check yourself the EU's blacklist to verify whether the airline in question is not banned from flying in the EU for safety reasons.
The list of banned airlines can be found here: http://air-ban.europa.eu/
The non-discrimination of disabled persons and passengers with reduced mobility because of any permanent or temporary handicap is guaranteed under existing EC regulation for both air passengers and, since 3 December 2009, rail passengers.
In December 2008 the Commission presented two proposals to protect the rights of persons with reduced mobility travelling by maritime transport or by bus and coach.
When travelling by air, you are invited to notify the need for assistance to the airline or to the tour operator at least 48 hours before the flight departure. The Managing bodies of airports will be informed accordingly and shall be responsible to provide assistance up to the aircraft gate and proceed to your seat; then assistance is to be provided by the airlines. The assistance is free of charge.
To find out more about the rights of passengers with reduced mobility, visit: http://ec.europa.eu/transport/passengers/air/prm_en.htm
When travelling by rail, ticket vendors and tour operators shall inform you on the accessibility of rail services, on the access conditions and its reasons on request.
Railway companies shall provide disabled persons and persons with reduced mobility with assistance on board a train and during boarding and disembarking from a train free of charge. Assistance is provided on condition that the railway company, the station manager, the ticket vendor or the tour operator with which the ticket was purchased is notified of the person's need for such assistance at least 48 hours before the assistance is needed.
The disabled person or the person with reduced mobility should present him or herself at the designated point:
- at the time stipulated (by the railway undertaking or station manager providing assistance), which shall not be more than 60 minutes before published departure time or the time at which all passengers are asked to check in;
- if no time is stipulated, at least 30 minutes before the published departure time or the time for check in.
There is no financial limit in case of liability for loss or damages to mobility equipment: in this case, the railway company is completely liable for the total or partial loss of, or damage to, mobility equipment or other specific equipment used by disabled persons or persons with reduced mobility.
To find out more about the rights of passengers with reduced mobility, travelling by rail, visit:
In case of cross-border journey within the EU, once a delay of at least 60 minutes is foreseeable , the passenger shall immediately have the choice between:
(i) Reimbursement of the full cost of the ticket or for the part of the journey not made and for the part already made if the journey is no longer serving any purpose in relation to the passenger's original travel plan, and
(ii) Continuation of the journey or re-routing under comparable conditions to the final destination at the earliest opportunity or to the final destination at a later date at the passenger's convenience.
In case the passenger continues his or her journey despite a delay, he or she is entitled to compensation. The minimum compensation for delays is:
25 % of the ticket price for a delay of 60 to 119 minutes,
50 % of the ticket price for a delay of at least 120 minutes.
The compensation of the ticket price is paid within one month after the submission of the request for compensation at the latest. The traveler is not entitled to compensation under certain conditions, if for instance the cancellation, delay or missed connection has been caused by circumstances which the carrier could not avoid, in spite of having taken all due care required in the particular case.
In case of any delay, at the departure or at the arrival of cross-border journeys within the EU, of at least 60 minutes, passengers have to be offered free meals and refreshments in reasonable relation to the waiting time. Moreover, the railway company has to offer free hotel or other accommodation as well as the transport between the railway station and place of accommodation, in cases where a stay of one or more nights becomes necessary due to the delay.
If the train is blocked on the track, the railway company has to arrange transport from the train to the railway station, to an alternative departure point or to the final destination of the service, where and when physically possible.
The railway company shall be also liable for loss or damage resulting from the total or partial loss of, or damage to, registered luggage . In such case, the rail company must pay up to around € 1,300 (1,200 units of account) 1 per item of luggage if the amount of the loss or damage suffered is proved, or a lump sum of around €330 (300 units of account) per item of luggage if the amount of the loss or damage suffered is not established.
In case of death of, or personal injury to the passenger, the rail operator shall be liable for the loss of, or damage to, articles which the passenger had on him or with him as hand luggage up to a maximum of around € 1,500 per passenger ( 1,400 units of account).
If a passenger is killed or injured during a train accident, the rail company is required, within 15 days , to advance payments that meet the costs for the immediate needs of the affected passenger or of his or her dependants and that shall be at least €21,000 in the event of death of the passenger.
In case of accident during the rail journey, the rail company shall be liable for the death of the passenger or for the personal injuries occurred to him or her
The carrier shall, under certain circumstances, be relieved of this liability if the accident has been caused by external circumstances or by the behavior of a third party or by the fault of the passenger.
The amount of damages to be awarded shall be determined in accordance with national law. However, the upper limit per passenger shall be set at around €190,000 (175,000 units of account), where national law provides for a limit of less than that amount.
Rail companies are obliged to set up a complaint handling mechanism for the rights an obligations covered by the Regulation and to make the contact details and working language(s) of such a complaint body widely known to passengers.
The complaints have to be answered within one month or in justified cases the passenger has to be informed by what date within a period of less than three month from the date of the complaint a reply can be expected.
NB: please consider that Member have the possibility to exempt the following services from the scope of application of some provisions of the Regulation: regional, urban and suburban services, domestic services; international services where a significant part of it is operated outside the EU territory.
For more information please consult the Regulation No 1371/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2007 on rail passengers' rights and obligations:
Other transport modes
The Commission presented in December 2008 two proposals to protect the rights of passengers travelling by water or by bus/coach. Once in force, the regulations will give these passengers similar protection as for air and rail travel.
To find out more about the two proposals, concerning maritime transport and bus and coach transport services, visit
where you can find the link to the following:
When consumers buy a travel package, they are entitled to know what they are paying for and what is included in the package deal under Council Directive 90/314/EEC of 13 June 1990 on package travel, package holidays and package tours . Any brochure made available to consumers must indicate clearly and accurately the price and all relevant information, such as destination, itinerary and the means of transport used, type of accommodation, meal plan, passport and visa requirements, health formalities, timetable for payment and the deadline for informing consumers in the event of cancellation.
To find out more about the directive, visit:
Every year 10,000 people die in road accidents in Europe due to drivers being under the influence of alcohol or drugs. One out of four accidents can be linked to excessive alcohol and drug consumption, even more so in the holiday period. The Commission adopted in January 2001 a recommendation for the level of alcohol permitted behind the wheel:
This recommendation is not legally binding and therefore the permitted level of alcohol can vary across Member States (e.g. Sweden has adopted a zero-tolerance approach). Of course, the safest course of action is still to never drink and drive.
Especially young people are at risk on our roads. The Commission develops prevention and information measures and also co-finances campaigns managed by young people for young people to encourage them to stay away from alcohol and drugs.
The Commission has also provided €19 million – 80% of the total cost – to the DRUID project, which investigates the influence of psycho actives on driving a vehicle. For more about the project, visit http://www.druid-project.eu/
In spring 2010 the Commission will publish its road safety action plan for 2011-2020.

Kotaku has a follow-up to Stardock's recent lawsuit against Alexandra Miseta over what the company alleges was its former marketing manager's role in the shortcomings of Elemental: War of Magic. They have court documents showing that before being sued herself, Miseta had already brought her own lawsuit against Stardock CEO Brad Wardell for sexual harassment, retaliation, and wrongful termination, and that Stardock's lawsuit came three weeks after a judge denied their request to dismiss her case. In addition to details from the sexual harassment case, they offer accounts from an anonymous alleged former Stardock employee refuting the idea that Miseta was responsible for Elemental's failure. They say Wardell has not yet responded to their request for comment on this.

There's still one month of summer left. Before those lazy, hazy days come to an end, use our get-things-done list to make the most of this fleeting season in the sun.
Avoid their flooring at all costs. They're disorganized and they don't stand behind their products. They will say they have flooring in stock when they don't. Everything takes longer than they promise.

Some people use their garages to keep their cars safe. Others use them to store boxes of books and home decorations. No matter how a garage is used, there is one key factor they all must have in common to protect the precious items within: A functional garage door.
There is no shortage of variety when it comes to choosing a garage door. Options include different materials, styles and lifting or opening methods, each with its own unique pros and cons.
When deciding on the right garage door, the first thing to consider is the style.
Garage Door Styles
The two most common styles of garage door include:
Swing Out
The benefits of swing-out doors are their classic look and the ability to keep the garage ceiling clear for added storage space. The major downside of this style is the amount of time it takes to manually lock, unlock, open, and close them. They can be manual or operated by a remote control.
Roll Up
Perhaps the most common and recognizable style is the roll-up garage door. These features are much easier to automate than their swinging counterparts, making them a preferred choice for many homeowners. However, ceiling space must be sacrificed to make room for the door when open. These are typically automatic, but manual models are also available.
Other Types
Aside from these popular models, homeowners can choose between:
Once you've determined the style of garage door, you can move on to choosing the material. Some considerations you might keep in mind include:
If you're looking for something that will withstand the test of errant basketballs and driver's education students, a vinyl door might be your best bet. These doors are hard to dent or break and don't need much maintenance to keep up their appearance. They are usually built on steel frames with polyurethane insulation and come in a limited variety of colors.
Wood can stand up to plenty of the abuse a garage door may be subject to from time to time. They are also attractive doors with many color options. They can be painted or stained at the factory or on site. One of the biggest downsides to wood garage doors is the upkeep - they may need to be repainted or restained regularly to maintain the color.
Fiberglass doors can break with a strong impact but in general are pretty sturdy. Like vinyl doors, they are built on steel frames and insulated with polyurethane.
Wood Composite
Wood composite doors have the same aesthetic advantages of wood doors but are less expensive. They usually have a wood frame and are filled with polyurethane insulation. Some may have fiberboard skins and are designed to closely mimic wood.
It doesn't take much to dent these doors, but they aren't very expensive and require little maintenance. However, they are subject to rust, especially in damper climates.
These doors can also easily dent but don't rust. They are also lightweight, which is ideal for larger garage doors, as more weight on such a large frame could put added stress on the lifting or opening mechanism.
Five basic designs of garage door openers are available to homeowners. Two are relatively recent developments, while the other three are fairly standard and have been around for decades.
Direct-Drive Units
One of the biggest advantages of the direct-drive opener is how silent it is. With the motor being the only moving part of this machine, it's said to be the quietest model available. This is one of the newest designs and was developed in Germany.
Jackshaft Openers
Another relatively recent design, this model is ideal for a homeowner who wants to keep the ceiling clear for storage. It is set up on the wall closest to the garage door as opposed to on the ceiling, like most garage door openers.
Screw-Driven Openers
This opener is powered by a motor that rotates a threaded-steel rod on which a trolley rides. It is a relatively quick garage door opener, though most garage doors close at the same rate for safety reasons. Additionally, they are said to be the easiest to maintain, given that they don't involve many moving parts. However, these doors have a history of problems when the temperature quickly changes, and they are noisy. If there is an apartment or office above a garage, screw-driven openers may not be the best option.
Chain-Driven Openers
These use a chain similar to that of a bicycle. The chain pulls a trolley connected to a bar that lifts the garage door. It can be noisy and cause vibrations, given the metal-to-metal contact, though more recent models are said to be a little bit better about this.
Belt-Driven Openers
The function of belt-driven openers is the same as chain-driven openers. The only major difference is that instead of metal chains, these door openers are built with a belt made of fiberglass, steel-reinforced rubber, or polyurethane. This brings down the noise level but increases the price.
As with most things mechanical, garage doors may begin to develop problems after a few years of use. Many typical problems are easily identified and, with the right knowledge or help from a professional, aren't too difficult to fix.
Transmitter or Remote Won't Work
The first thing you should check in this instance is the transmitter battery. Dead batteries are often the culprit, though there are other causes seen as well. If the batteries are in good shape, take a look at the cables and tracks to make sure they are clear, clean, and sturdy.
Door Doesn't Close All the Way
If you notice a gap at the bottom of your garage door after closing it, try resetting the close limit. Your door might be set to close at a higher point than the ground. It might also be set too low, and when the door reaches the ground, the sensor reacts in the same way it would if an object was obstructing its path: by retreating upward.
Door Shakes When Opening
This could be caused by debris on the tracks or wheels. Clean these first to see if this is the problem. If not, the springs might be stretched unevenly or worn out.
Door Squeaks When Opening
The rollers are most likely dry and need to be lubricated.
Door Closes Faster Than Usual
A quickly closing garage door could easily become a safety hazard. The problem is usually springs that are too stretched out. They should be replaced by a professional. Working with these large springs can be difficult, and they can quickly turn into dangerous, fast-moving metal whips.
Door Makes a Strange Sound at the Same Point Every Time It's Used
This might mean your tracks are either dented, falling, or otherwise misaligned. This is not just annoying; it's dangerous. Misaligned or damaged tracks can cause the door to cease working or to fall off its tracks. If your door seems to be working fine overall, feel free to inspect the issue further. But if your door is stuck, slanted, or looks unstable, call a professional who will have the right tools to fix the problem.
Door Sticks When Opening or Closing
If you begin to notice this around a change in seasons, check the lubricant on the tracks. Weather patterns will affect lubricant's effectiveness. Dirt or debris on the tracks could also be the cause; make sure they're clear and clean. If the tracks look fine, make sure the doors are hung evenly.
It's not uncommon for a garage door to have a problem or two every once in awhile. But, if the same issue keeps coming up or one cause has led to a variety of problems, it might be time to consider replacing your door altogether.
For someone who's familiar with tackling tough home improvement projects, installing a garage door might be a viable do-it-yourself project. It'll likely take the better part of a Saturday, and it's not a bad idea to ask for help, especially when taking off the old door.
But if you're even a little bit wary of taking on such a large task, reaching out to a professional would probably be a smart move. On average, a new garage door installation will cost around $1,000. Most homeowners end up paying somewhere between $740 and $1,400, including the installation and the door itself.
Likewise, a custom garage door could be a project that an experienced wood or metal worker can take on with the right materials, tools, and knowledge. However, for the amateur DIY-er, contacting a professional might be the best way to go. If you are unfamiliar with the project, the weight alone could prove to be an issue. Depending on the size, it could weigh as much as 200 pounds, though some smaller or uninsulated ones could be less than 100 pounds.
To keep your garage door functional for as long as possible, try to inspect it every so often to ensure everything is working properly. A problem that goes too long without attention can only get worse and wind up costing you more to repair or replace the door.
About once a month, carefully observe the door as you open and close it. If you hear or see anything unusual, take a closer look at it. The regular motion could easily loosen up some of the hardware, so take a few minutes to tighten everything up. Also, be sure that tracks, tires, and other moving parts are properly lubricated.
If your door is painted, make sure it isn't chipped or peeling. Deteriorating paint on a wooden door could let moisture in, which leads to warped doors, while a steel door could rust if water gets in.

Prices are holding steady for corporate buyers of casualty insurance products, and in cases where the loss experience has been particularly good the premiums have fallen. On the property insurance side of the industry, it's a buyer's market, with prices falling at a quick clip. And in both industry houses, insurers eager to maintain market share are open to altering policy coverage terms and conditions.
These are just some of the enticing tidbits risk managers can anticipate as they head into the annual April policy renewal season. While not all companies renew their policies in the springtime, most do. Unlike past market encounters, this go-round promises good deals along with the sunshine and flowers.
Many carriers, for instance, are open to writing casualty primary and excess lines of coverage in occurrence-based policies instead of less favorable claims-made formats. Additionally, multi-year transactions are available in property, new sources of private flood insurance capacity have opened up, and even terrorism-related coverage in many policies are there for the taking at little to no cost.
The future bodes even better, with 92 percent of insurance company CEOs in a survey by PwC expressing confidence that their revenues will increase over the next three years, provided not by increasing premiums but through technological advances, particularly the impact of data analytics on underwriting.
Good Deals Galore
All in all, it's not only a good time to be a risk manager, it's about time, too. Four years ago in Treasury & Risk magazine, an article on risk managers began—"They're frightened, they're angry and they're sleepless." The title of the article was instructive: "Dreaming of Better Days Ahead."
Those days appear to have arrived. "The property/casualty market is softening apparently faster than we had predicted in October [2013]" said Matt Keeping, chief placement officer at insurance broker Willis North America. "At that time, we were suggesting that rates in the property, non-catastrophe market would be down 10-12 percent, and the catastrophe market down 5-10 percent. There's been a bit of a change, with reductions now in the 15-20 percent range for non-catastrophe, and in the 5-20 percent range for catastrophe. Things are accelerating."
The news is less bullish on the casualty side, but nonetheless upbeat. "We estimate that average rates are tight around the zero mark, with a slight plus or minus," said Steve Kempsey, US casualty leader at insurance broker Marsh. "Rates essentially stabilized in 2013, although the guaranteed workers compensation line is still difficult. Nevertheless, insurers are more willing than in the past couple years to be flexible. … They're more apt to negotiate on renewals."
He notes that a company "in a desirable risk class with a differentiating risk profile can still see a good premium reduction."
Robert Hartwig, president and chief economist at the New York-based Insurance Information Institute, agrees the market is softening in property, but less so for casualty business. "I'd say prices are holding the line, depending on how aggressive the insurer is to acquire and/or retain business," Hartwig said. "Nevertheless, this is an improvement over where we were a year ago."
What accounts for this improving picture? The primary factor is a flood of capacity coming into the reinsurance markets, giving primary insurers more leeway to lay off assumed risks. For example, Everest Re's special purpose reinsurer, Mt. Logan Re, Ltd., secured additional funding in January bringing its current committed capital to $370 million, well in excess of the initial target of $250 million. The special purpose reinsurance facility was formed last year to provide collateralized capacity to the global property catastrophe reinsurance market.
Such non-traditional reinsurance capacity, in addition to a lack of major US catastrophe losses in 2013, have combined to lower reinsurance rates for primary insurers, which is now trickling down to soften commercial pricing. "Everyone benefits when you've got a record level of reinsurance capacity, which is the case right now," said Keeping. "And the spigot remains open." Additional sources of non-traditional capacity are flowing in from private equity, hedge funds and pension funds, he explains.
This non-traditional capacity also is evident in the development of catastrophe bonds to further absorb property risk. "All this alternative capacity is a new dynamic in the reinsurance market," says Hartwig. "Combined with low catastrophe losses, it puts downward pressure on pricing, expanding what reinsurers are willing to do—where they put their capital to work."
Other factors influencing the softer market include the improving economy and rising investment income yields, although the observers discount both. "The economy is certainly helping, but no one would have a parade over how well it is doing," Keeping says. "And investment income just isn't playing as much of a role as in previous insurance cycles. The focus instead is on growing profits through improved underwriting data and actuarial analyses."
Kempsey shares this view. "More clients are using data analytics and not just on the property side," he said. "Our global analytics team has developed a cutting edge tool for risk financing optimization that helps companies structure insurance programs in the most economically efficient manner, while meeting the organization's risk tolerance goals." He adds that the tool can tell companies if their financial limits of protection are appropriate, too high or too low.
Preferred Policies
Aside from generally favorable pricing conditions, the property/casualty market has also liberalized coverage terms and conditions for some classes and lines of business. "In 2013, the property market was experiencing a bit of a hangover from Superstorm Sandy, and some insurers were tightening up their manuscript policy forms, creating issues over incurred losses," Keeping said.
He's referring to the inability of some risk mangers to reinstate the financial limits on their property insurance policies once the limits were exhausted or eroded by Sandy-incurred losses. Although the policies remained in force until expiration, some carriers were unwilling to extend additional limits of protection. And at policy renewal, several insurers offered new limits that were well below previous levels of insurance. "This is much less of a concern today, but buyers nonetheless need to work closely with their brokers to ensure optimum treatment," Keeping said.
Hartwig agrees, citing several examples where coverage terms and conditions are broadening. "We're seeing more occurrence-based policies being written, more private market willingness to write flood insurance, and even terrorism insurance being provided at minimal cost in many policies," he said. "There's even talk from some carriers about putting up capacity for standalone terrorism coverages."
Among these product enhancements include a new excess liability policy form put together by Marsh to minimize the oft-conflicting terms and conditions found in carriers' excess policies. "When companies buy layers of insurance, they assume they all follow form—they don't always," Keeping said. "Sometimes the terms and conditions are different on a layer-by-layer basis, which can create holes in the program. The new form addresses these inconsistencies."
Dave Hennes, risk manager at The Toro Company, a Bloomington-based maker of turf, landscape and irrigation equipment with $2 billion in 2013 revenues, exemplifies much of what awaits risk managers in the April renewal season. In his last renewal, he was able to move the rest of the company's excess casualty insurance from claims-made to occurrence coverage, saw improved pricing on most lines of insurance, and was able to ink a two-year property insurance policy to boot.
"We had good results from a loss standpoint, which helped us, but what we're hearing is that the markets are softening due to carriers' favorable reinsurance renewals," the veteran risk manager said.
With regard to his next renewal, Hennes is upbeat: "I'm reasonably confident the good news will hold."
