15 Rules to Live By
Or not. You don't have to live by my rules. But they do make life a whole lot sweeter. Each post will delve into each of one of the following rules.
1. Be Kind.
2. Have a sense of humor especially when it comes to YOU.
3. Write poems, even if only in your head.
4. Sing out loud, even if badly.
5. Dance, even with no rhythm.
6. If you don't have anything nice to say... you know the deal.
7. Find things to be in awe of.
8. Be grateful for what you have right now.
9. Watch Modern Family, read Wayne Dyer, and end every complaint with "But I'm so blessed!"
10. Duh, do yoga.
11. Don't worry. Everyone on Facebook seems like they have happier and funner lives. They don't.
12. Tell someone you love that you love them. Right now.
13.Take more pictures.
14. Forgive yourself for not being perfect. No such thing.
15. Thank the Universe in advance.
Number One. Kindness.
Ah, sweet kindness.
Yesterday I was on an airplane, as I am a lot these days. The flight attendant snapped at me because I asked him excuse me? twice after he spoke. As if I simply was not listening or trying to make his job harder on purpose. He growled at me. Now, the reason I asked excuse me is because I have a major hearing problem. I wear hearing aids, which are so small that you can't even see. I know it's annoying to have to repeat yourself all the time. I get it. It stinks.
But you know what stinks worse? Not being able to hear.
So be kind, folks.
To be A) right or to be B) kind? The answer is B as in Be Kind.
Always choose kindness. Even if you are irritated. Even if you are tired. Even if you think you have been wronged. (Not-so-secret secret: it feels better to be kind.) Even if you are trying to walk down the aisle of the plane you work on to ask people if they want coffee or cocktails, be kind.
The alternative is grim.
Because here is what happens in a nutshell. Flight attendant snaps at me. I feel bad. I snap at my husband. My husband feels bad and snaps at me. No one feels good. It's a nutshell filled with misgivings and miscommunications and hurt feelings. It's a nutshell that needs a big nutcracker once it hardens. But, if we stop it before it grows and hardens, it becomes a soft heart-like thing, it's texture dense and filled with kindness. Kindness doesn't need a nut-cracker.
Kindess needs a candle. Kindness needs a glass of merlot. Kindess needs a dance party. Kindness needs a downward facing dog. Kindness needs a hug. Kindness needs more kindness. It's contagious like that.
Kindness does not need protective gear or a blow torch.
What can YOU do today to be kind?
Here are some suggestions:
1) Look at your face in the mirror and find something to love about it. Find a couple of somethings to love about that face of yours. Go ahead and say "I love you" to your reflection even if you feel silly doing it. Let's start there.
2) Make the person in front of you the most important person in the world.
3) Move your yoga mat over a few inches to make room for the person who just walked into the room without rolling your eyes or grumbling. In fact, smile as you do it.
4) Let someone over who is trying to merge in traffic. Yes, even if you live in Los Angeles and are driving on the 405.
5) Offering a silent blessing to the homeless person on the corner if you do not want to give them money. If you do give them money, still offer them a silent blessing.
6) Hug a child. One you know please!
7) Hug an animal. You don't necessarily have to know the animal.
8) If you think someone is beautiful, tell them.
9) Say thank you no matter what.
10) Ask the question "How may I serve?" and see what comes up for you. Even if it just means wishing for someone else's happiness, that is serving another. Whatever comes up, kindness will follow.

And I became a wife. We've been down about SR's job situation, but it sounds like he may get hired to do research. And we're going on our honeymoon to California and Nevada starting next weekend. Life is great when you are in love.
I'll leave you with a thought that makes me happy on my birthday...
This is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again

Imagine how cute your baby will look in these! Charlie Banana¨ Patented Reusable One Size Hybrid AIO Diapers are a great alternative to disposable diapers. Cloth-diapered babies tend to experience less diaper rashes, less blowouts, better sleep, and more comfort.

With fun bright colors and designs, Charlie Banana¨ Reusable Cloth Diapers will make every baby even more adorable. Each Patented Reusable One Size Hybrid AIO Diaper comes with two DELUXE inserts that are highly absorbent and soft, making them great for both daily and overnight use.

With the below freezing wind chills, I thought it was a good time to try making ice ornaments. We reused disposable cereal cups as the mold for our ornaments and filled them with items from our 'Beautiful Stuff' collage collection.
After we filled the cups the children used watercolor paint and droppers to add color to their ornaments. Initially we only had a small amount of cups so each child could only make one (normally we have enough for each child to create until they are 'done'. I practically had to swear on the life of my firstborn that we would make more on Monday.
The results add a nice splash of color to our white winter wonderland!

WASHINGTON - The U.S. economy grew at a 2.7 percent annual rate from July through September, much faster than first thought. The strength is expected to fade in the final months of the year because of the impact of Superstorm Sandy and uncertainty about looming tax increases and government spending cuts.
The Commerce Department said Thursday that growth in the third quarter was significantly better than the 2 percent rate estimated a month ago. And it was more than twice the 1.3 percent rate reported for the April-June quarter.
The main reason for the upward revision to the gross domestic product was businesses restocked at a faster pace than previously estimated. That offset weaker consumer spending growth.
GDP measures the nation's total output of goods and services - from restaurant meals and haircuts to airplanes, appliances and highways.
Most economists say economic growth is slowing to below 2 percent in the October-December quarter. That's generally considered too weak to rapidly lower the unemployment rate.
Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics, said companies are likely restocking more slowly now. Businesses typically cut back on restocking when they think consumers will spend less. Consumer spending drives roughly 70 percent of economic activity.
Economists cite two reasons for the anticipated weakness in consumer and business spending.
Superstorm Sandy halted business activity along the East Coast in late October and November. And spending may weaken in the final weeks of the year, if lawmakers and Obama fail to reach a deal to avoid the "fiscal cliff." That's the name for sharp tax increases and spending cuts that would occur in January without a deal.
Companies are "likely thinning inventories just in case Congress fails to do its job, which is always a possibility," said Joel Naroff, chief economist at Naroff Economic Advisors.
A separate report Thursday showed the negative impact of Superstorm Sandy is starting to fade. The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits fell 23,000 to a seasonally adjusted 393,000 last week, the Labor Department said. It was the second straight drop after Superstorm Sandy had driven applications to 451,000 three weeks ago.
Still, consumers and businesses appeared to be more cautious over the summer, according to the GDP report.
Consumer spending grew at a weaker 1.4 percent rate in the third quarter, down from the 2 percent rate estimated a month ago and nearly in line with the 1.5 percent rate in the second quarter.
Businesses spending on equipment and software fell at an annual rate of 2.7 percent in the third quarter, the first decline since the depths of the recession in April-June 2009.
The report showed continued strength in homebuilding, which rose at an annual rate of 14.2 percent. And government spending expanded at an annual rate of 3.5 percent, marking its first positive contribution to overall economic growth in two years. The increase was driven by a big jump in defense spending.
While economists predict slower growth in the final months of the year, several reports suggest economic activity picked up in October and early November. And if Congress and the White House reach agreement and avoid the fiscal cliff, economic growth could accelerate next year, many economists say.

Doctoral Student's Paper Ranked Among Top 31 by Society of Exploration Geophysicists
Feb. 29, 2012
Two technical papers by researchers at the Center for Lithospheric Studies at UT Dallas have been ranked among the top 31 papers presented at the 2011 Society of Exploration Geophysicists' annual meeting.
Doctoral student Xinfa Zhu
Geosciences student Xinfa Zhu's paper "Comparison of Methods for Modeling Phase Variation with Angle" was presented as a poster talk at the society's 81st annual meeting held in San Antonio in September.
Zhu's paper, co-authored with his professor, George McMechan, shared the recognition with another UT Dallas paper by geosciences Professor John Ferguson and his colleagues. The title of Ferguson's paper was "Hydrogeophysics and the Settlement of San Marcos Pueblo, N.M.: Investigations by the SAGE Geophysical Field Course."
"This recognition affirms the international competitiveness of the geosciences graduate program and the high quality of the research being done. It is rare for a student to receive such recognition so early, so it is an important element in Xinfa's career development," McMechan said.
Professor George McMechan
The two papers were chosen from about 900 papers accepted at the conference. The meeting has been held by the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) every year since its foundation in 1930. It is the world's largest oil, energy and mineral exposition, showcasing cutting-edge technology for use in exploration and associated industries.
"When we look for oil and gas, the most popular method is exploding dynamite to generate waves propagating into the earth, and using receivers on the surface to record the reflected waves. The amplitudes and phases of the reflections indicate different underground materials: rocks, oil or gas.
"This method – amplitude variation with angle – has been used for decades. My paper proposes a new way of looking at the data by studying the phase information, measuring the local waveform and its changes," Zhu said.

The SEG executive committee has offered these technical presentations to its international Sections/Associated Societies, to which Zhu will have the opportunity to present his paper.
"My research is about developing new algorithms to better model the wave propagations in the earth, and ultimately looking for oil and gas by comparing the observed field data with our synthetic data. I write computer programs," Zhu said.
Zhu is in his third year of doctoral study in exploration seismology at UT Dallas. His dissertation is on elastic inversion of phase variation with angle in wide-angle reflections. He served as the president of the UT Dallas Geophysical Society and SEG student chapter in 2011.

Court won't reduce student's music download fine
(CBS/AP) WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court won't reduce the $675,000 verdict against a Boston University student who illegally downloaded 30 songs and shared them on the Internet.
The high court on Monday refused to hear an appeal from Joel Tenenbaum, of Providence, R.I., who was successfully sued by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for illegally sharing music on peer-to-peer networks. In 2009, a jury ordered Tenenbaum to pay $675,000, or $22,500 for each song he illegally downloaded and shared.
A federal judge called that unconstitutionally excessive, but the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated the penalty at the request of Sony BMG Music Entertainment, Warner Brothers Records Inc. and other record labels represented by the RIAA.
Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Stephen Breyer did not participate in this decision.
Piracy has been a hot-button issue. Lawmakers, copyright holders and consumers have been in a gridlock over how fight piracy while maintaining net neutrality - or Internet access without censorship or restrictions enforced by governments.
Recently, the Obama administration was at odds with Congress over the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA), a bill that would allow Internet companies to divulge confidential customer records and communications.
In January, tens of thousands of websites organized a protest against two controversial bills - Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect IP Act (PIPA). Both bills were opposed by companies, like Google, Facebook and Twitter because the companies believed it would stifle innovation and job creation.

Beat writer Jerry McDonald graded the Raiders off their performance against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Here is a look at how the Raiders graded out:
Pass offense
Carson Palmer (22-for-40, 312 yards) had his third straight game of 300 yards or more, but 113 of those were tacked on with the Raiders already trailing 35-10. Two interceptions were costly — one that Malcolm Jenkins returned 55 yards for a touchdown, the other that bounced off Brandon Myers in the end zone for a Saints interception. Palmer and Denarius Moore were barely in the same area code.
Grade: D
Run offense
Marcel Reece gave the Raiders steady yards on the ground, finishing with 103 yards on 19 carries as the Raiders rushed for 120 yards overall and a respectable 4.6 yards per carry. The Raiders got no surge on a first-and-goal play at the 1, with Reece getting stuffed for a loss, starting a sequence that ended in an interception.
Grade: B
Pass defense
Lance Moore got cornerback Michael Huff on a double move for a 38-yard touchdown inside of a minute left in the first half and later beat Ron Bartell for a 16-yard score. Drew Brees was a coolly effieicent 20-for-27 for 219 yards and no interceptions. Brees was not sacked. Miles Burris failed to cover tight end Jimmy Graham on a goal line play. Touchdown. Grade: D
Run defense
The Saints, not known as a big rushing team, gained 153 yards on 28 carries, averaging 5.5 yards per attempt. Mark Ingram had 12 rushes for 67 yards and a 27-yard touchdown run on the first offensive snap of the second half. Defense gave up runs of 27, 25, 19 and 14 yards. Rolando McClain had 10 tackles in the base defense.
Grade: D
Special teams
Coye Francies had a chance at a big kickoff return and fell at the 20-yard line. A 75-yard kickoff return by Travaris Cadet to open the second half swung momentum permanently to the side of the Saints. Sebastian Janikowski converted his only field goal attempt from 40 yards. Shane Lechler can't catch a break kicking inside the 20 as everything rolls into the end zone. Grade: D
Whatever the coaching staff is saying at halftime isn't working. The Raiders have been outscored 123-34 in the third quarter. However, the loss to New Orleans had more to do with players getting beat by better players than it did with offensive or defensive play-calling. If the Raiders could have gotten out of their own way and taken a lead, they might have run the ball all day.
Grade: D

Sinn Fein party leader Gerry Adams has appealed to Irish Republican Army (IRA) die-hards to stop their violence and to support his campaign for a vote in Northern Ireland on uniting politically with the rest of the island, the long-elusive dream of Irish republicans.
Adams, a reputed former commander of the long-dominant Provisional IRA faction that renounced violence in 2005, said sporadic attacks by IRA splinter groups still opposed to Northern Ireland's Good Friday peace agreement make it harder to build public support for uniting the British territory with the Republic of Ireland.
Sinn Fein this year has launched a campaign seeking support from the British and Irish governments to hold a referendum in both parts of Ireland on unity, an idea contained within the 1998 Good Friday deal. Both governments remain publicly cool on the idea in practice, citing the unrelenting hostility of the north's Protestant "unionist" majority to leaving the United Kingdom.
Adams, speaking on Friday to party supporters in the border town of Dundalk that he represents in the Irish parliament, said the only hope of winning a future referendum on taking Northern Ireland into the Irish Republic would be "to find ways to engage with, and to listen to, the concerns and ambitions of our unionist neighbours".
"There is now a democratic and peaceful way to bring about Irish unity. There is no reason whatever for any group to engage in or promote or support violent actions," Adams said. "Violent actions will make the task of achieving a 'yes' vote more difficult."
Such peace feelers from Adams tend to fall on deaf ears, both among IRA die-hards and Northern Ireland's Protestant communities. The Protestants still view Adams as an architect of three decades of Provisional IRA warfare that claimed 1775 lives, not of the relative peace since the Provisionals' 1997 ceasefire.
Yet ironically, Adams' push for a vote on Northern Ireland's future could win key support from his Protestant political rivals.
The major Protestant-backed party, the Democratic Unionists, predicts Sinn Fein would suffer a humiliating defeat in any such vote. DUP leaders argue that few Protestants want to surrender the union with the UK, while many Irish Catholics appear content to keep it, particularly in today's Northern Ireland with its joint Catholic-Protestant government and much more stable economy versus the bailed-out, debt-hobbled republic next door.
Democratic Unionist leader Peter Robinson, who leads Northern Ireland's six-year-old unity government, provoked gales of laughter from his recent party conference when he argued that Sinn Fein's desire for a public vote confirming the popularity of Northern Ireland's place in the UK "makes turkeys voting for Christmas look like a carefully considered strategy".
The latest opinion poll on the question, produced this week for BBC Northern Ireland, supported the Democratic Unionists' view.
The survey of 1000 Northern Ireland voters found 65 per cent wanted Northern Ireland to stay in the UK, while just 17 per cent would vote to join the republic. The rest weren't sure or didn't care.
More than nine in 10 Protestants would pick the UK, while just 35 per cent of the Catholics would vote to unite Ireland - and 38 per cent would keep the UK instead. The poll had an error margin of three percentage points.

Church Interior with Figures; Women & Children in Shop, c. 1790
graphite, ink wash on paper
11.5 x 18.2 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift from the Estate of Arnold O. Brigden
Thomas Rowlandson studied at the Royal Academy School in London with the intention of pursuing a career as a watercolourist. He made several tours of England as well as the Continent, producing sketches of the people and places he visited, which were then published. He worked in the watercolour medium, producing mainly genre scenes and portraits, and quickly developed a reputation as a caricaturist. Rowlandson aimed to communicate the personality of his subjects, often exaggerating their gestures and facial features in an attempt to capture their personal demeanour. This drawing of people looking at tombs inside a church is one of several works by Rowlandson in the WAG collection. His designs, like this drawing, would normally be made in outline with reed pen and wash, etched by the artist on a copper plate, then aquatinted, with the final impressions coloured by hand.

Spring has arrived, the Sierra snows are now melting in earnest with fair weather ahead, the passes are starting to open and thoughts naturally turn to What to Do in the Sierra this Summer. The Sierra Challenge is set for mid-August when most of the snows have melted, the mosquitoes have had their run, water is plentiful as is sunshine and plenty of daylight hours. 10 new peaks have been selected for the 2012 event. We're going to visit Northern Yosemite, the Minarets, the Evolution Region, the Palisades, and four of the toughest trails on the East Side - Taboose and Shepherd Passes, along with two never used during the Challenge - Sawmill Pass and George Creek.
The all-new 2012 Sierra Challenge gives you ten days in August to challenge your stamina and your sanity amidst the beauty that is the Sierra Nevada. Leave your heavy backpacks and marginal camp foods behind. Climb some impressive peaks with a daypack and enjoy fine Eastern Sierra cuisine at day's end. Join us for one day or all ten, to test your legs in the backcountry or just to meet fellow SPers. We already have a handful of folks signed up this year, always room for more.
For those who aren't familiar with the yearly Challenge, in a nutshell - we drive up and down the Eastern Sierra for ten days and climb 1-2 cool peaks each day. Mostly carrying a light daypack, sometimes crampons/axe. It's primarily a hike/scramble event, with little technical rock climbing. It's generally a pretty exhausting day, but most participants would use the word "fun" somewhere in their varying descriptions. This is not a race, there are no official sponsors, and there are no prizes. There are no qualifications to join in the fun - everyone is welcome. The link above will give you all the info.

Ronnie O'Sullivan outclassed Barry Hawkins 18-12 on Monday to win his fifth world snooker championship and become only the third man to claim back-to-back titles at the Crucible Theatre.
The 37-year-old Englishman, returning to the sport after a year-long absence, showed no signs of rustiness over the two weeks of competition, culminating in a comfortable win over world number 14 Hawkins. "I thought it was a brilliant final," O'Sullivan told reporters after making a final-record six century breaks. "Overall, the snooker was really good.
"In January/December, I'll have a better idea of whether I will return to play here. I enjoyed my year out and I intend to play in some smaller events for the love of the game. I do appreciate what snooker has done for me and what it's given me but it's the build-up I struggle with. It's hard to keep a lid on what I go through sometimes.
"At no stage did I feel relaxed in any match. You just don't here. You have to face your demons and that's why it's such a hard tournament." O'Sullivan, 10-7 up overnight, watched his opponent win the opening frame of the day. Breaks of 76 and 55 lifted O'Sullivan to a four-frame lead at 12-8 but the gritty Hawkins produced a break of 90 to take the following frame before O'Sullivan responded with a 133.
Hawkins reduced the deficit to four frames at 14-10 before O'Sullivan produced a clearance of 124. The unfancied Hawkins compiled a century of his own with a 127 and then made it 15-12 with a break of 66. Hawkins threatened to move to within two frames of O'Sullivan in frame 28 before a missed red on the cushion proved costly and O'Sullivan punished the error with a break of 77 to lead 16-12.
A run of 88 enabled O'Sullivan to claim the following frame and he clinched the title with a fine break of 86. The 34-year-old Hawkins, who has won only one ranking tournament in his career, paid tribute to his fellow countryman O'Sullivan. "There's no shame in losing 18-12 to him because he's got to go down as the greatest ever player," Hawkins said. "He's a phenomenal talent.
"The way he makes it look so easy is frightening. He's unbelievable. I think I played well but I just made a few mistakes." Hawkins believes O'Sullivan could go on to beat Stephen Hendry's record of seven world titles. "If he wants it, I'm sure he could do it if he carries on playing like that," he said. "I'd like to see him stay because the game is better with him in it."
Six-times world champion Steve Davis became the first man to win back-to-back titles at the Crucible in 1983 and 1984 before Hendry won five in a row in the early 1990s. Hendry holds the record of seven world titles since the tournament moved to its permanent base at the Crucible in 1977.

Ex-SAC Trader Found Guilty
Martoma Convicted of One of the Largest Insider-Trading Schemes Ever
A jury found Mathew Martoma guilty of insider trading Thursday, handing prosecutors their eighth win against someone who worked at SAC Capital Advisors LP and possibly bolstering a related case against firm founder Steven A. Cohen.
Prosecutors have long pursued Mr. Cohen, who built one of the country's most successful hedge funds over the past two decades and managed more than $15 billion at the firm's peak. He has denied involvement in any wrongdoing and hasn't been charged criminally, but he faces a civil allegation by...

Electrical contracting firms specialize in photovoltaic installations for residential and commercial clients
Every minute the sun provides enough energy to power all of humanity's needs for one year, according to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Electrical contracting firms are turning to this abundant and free energy source to fuel niche businesses that specialize in photovoltaics, renewable energy, and distributed generation.
Manufacturers, solar electric contracting companies, and builders are hiring electrical contracting firms to hook up inverters, install photovoltaic panels on rooftops, and tie the systems into the utility grid. While photovoltaic installations are similar to traditional electrical work, electricians who install and maintain these systems must be properly trained and intimately familiar with DC electrical theory.
"It's basic electrical theory and series parallel circuitry," says Robert Boender, vice president of Alternative Energy Solutions. "It's just a different aspect of electrical contracting. With any DC wiring, you have to be careful and know what you're doing. As soon as the sunlight hits a photovoltaic system, it begins generating power."
To capture a share of this growing market, two electricians launched their own renewable energy and distributed generation firms — Alternative Energy Solutions in Stamford, Conn., and Warmack Electric in Anaheim, Calif. This article will explore the challenges of breaking into a new industry and offer resources for other electrical contracting firms interested in specializing in photovoltaic installations.
Powering the Northeast with green electricity.
After working 100-hour weeks splicing fiber, Boender, who was working as a master electrician at the time, started searching for a new business opportunity. Rather than just opening up another commercial, residential, or industrial electrical contracting firm in the Northeast, Boender and his wife, Jill, founded a multi-state licensed, woman-owned renewable energy firm.
"Photovoltaics is going to be an emerging market, and in order to survive, my wife wanted to open up a niche electrical contracting firm specializing in renewable and distributed generation," Boender says. "We believe this market is a great opportunity for electrical contractors and saw the need to get involved in the installations to promote the industry and ensure a safe installation."
To break into the photovoltaics market, Jill became a signatory contractor with the IBEW, and Robert signed up for a training class at the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC). About 20 electricians, photovoltaic system installers, and electric utility employees spent a week in FSEC's training facility in Coco Beach, Fla., to learn how to install grid-connected photovoltaic systems. The workshop taught the participants how to perform a site assessment, design a photovoltaic system, balance system components, and install a photovoltaic array.
Boender currently has a full-time crew of four journeyman electricians and plans to only hire electricians who are trained either through the FSEC or the National Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee. The electricians install photovoltaic systems for commercial buildings in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, which all offer state rebate and incentive programs. Connecticut offers a $5/W rebate for commercial and industrial photovoltaic installations through its Clean Air Fund, and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority will rebate nearly half the cost of an installation. The photovoltaic market is also fueled by support from New York Governor George Pataki, who issued an executive order in 2001 directing New York state agencies to purchase 10% of their power from renewable energy by 2005 and 20% by 2010. For that reason, New York's construction industry is thinking green and trying to build more energy-efficient buildings.
Boender says while his business had a slow start, he feels that the market will improve due to the rising cost of traditional power generation and the need to clean up the environment. He has served as a member of Local 3 in New York for 20 years, and many union contractors subcontract work out to his firm rather than training their own electricians in photovoltaics. "Right now no one else is out there doing it," Boender says. "Hopefully by the time that people realize the money that can be made, we'll already be the go-to people."
To drum up business and get a lower price on materials, Boender partnered with Altpower, Inc., a New York City-based design/build specialty contracting firm and Altair Energy, a Golden, Colo.-based renewable systems integrator that offers an authorized service provider (ASP) program. Altair, which is a member of the Alpha Group of Companies, provides customer leads, in-house engineering, and packaged photovoltaic systems to licensed electrical and general contracting firms. Richard Eidlin, strategic accounts manager for Altair, says 15 of its 18 ASPs are electrical contracting firms. Eight of the ASPs are in California, and the other companies are in Arizona, Colorado, Oregon, Delaware, Washington, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Indiana.
"Our premise has been that rather than trying to buy up small solar electric companies that have been in the business for 20 years, we have sought to involve ourselves with electrical contractors who know electricity," Eidlin says. "They might not know anything about solar, but we're able to provide them with the services to quickly get into the photovoltaic business."
The core business for many of the ASPs is primarily commercial, residential, and industrial electrical contracting. But as their business grows, more of their time is spent installing photovoltaic systems. Altair is developing a national network of qualified electrical contracting partners and travels across the country to train electricians how to install, test, and commission photovoltaic systems. Twice a month the company also offers online training sessions to educate the network of companies on a new technology or development in the industry.
Taking advantage of California's hot solar market.
Altair not only trains electrical contractors in photovoltaics, but also provides its electrical contractors with project leads. Warmack Electric partnered with Altair two years ago to work on a $1.7 million contract to install photovoltaic systems at a KD Development 180-unit housing development in San Diego (Sidebar at left and Photo at right).
Ron Warmack, a second-generation electrician who spent most of his electrical career building power plants and co-generation facilities, founded his company with his wife, Carol. Their firm, which specializes in both off-grid and grid-tied systems, is currently working with a rancher who has 4,000 acres of land in Santa Maria, Calif. Because of the exorbitant cost of bringing power lines to the remote location, the rancher is considering investing in a photovoltaic installation to power his water wells.
The company also installs several grid-tied photovoltaic systems for its residential clients. Warmack installed a photovoltaic installation for a homeowner in Anaheim, Calif., and 62% of the cost of the system was covered by local rebates. While many cities in California pay $3.20/W, the private utility company in Anaheim, Calif., offers $5/W. Because California is a net metering state, customers can sell back their excess electricity produced by a photovoltaic system at retail prices. Warmack Electric recently installed a 7.6kW grid-tied system with four inverters for a homeowner in Pasadena, Calif., where Warmack saw firsthand the result of net metering.
"The meter started running backward as fast as it was running forward," he says. "The homeowners don't get excited when they see all of this stuff being bolted to their house, but they definitely get excited when the meter starts running backward."
The photovoltaic market in California is taking off, but before jumping feet first into the industry, Warmack urges other firms in his area to research the market and, if possible, try to partner with a manufacturer or distributor to generate leads and get the proper training in photovoltaics.
"Rather than try to just go out on your own, buy panels and inverters, and slap them together, you definitely need to get some engineering experience behind what you're doing," Warmack says. "It's not a slam dunk type business."
With a strong background in the electrical industry, a thirst to learn about an emerging market and an entrepreneurial spirit, however, an electrician can launch a renewable energy firm and help power America with green electricity.
Sidebar: How to Get Started in the Photovoltaic Business
- Study the National Electrical Code.
Electricians need to brush up on Art. 690 of the Code, which discusses equipment and wiring safety for renewable energy system installations.
- Get trained in photovoltaics.
The Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) (www.fsec.ucf.edu/ed) has been researching energy efficiency and training installers for the past 20 years. The FSEC offers one- and two-day courses on topics like solar water heating, photovoltaics, and energy-efficient building strategies. The National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (NJATC) also offers a three-and-a-half day training course titled "Installing Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Systems." The next course will be held from April 19-22 at the International Training Center in Knoxville, Tenn. Visit www.njatc.org and click on "contractor training" for more information.
- Earn certification as a photovoltaic installer.
The North America Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) developed a voluntary certification program for installers of photovoltaic systems. For more information on how to take the exam and become certified, download a PDF at www.solenergy.org/pdf/PVRequirementsApproved.pdf
- Partner with manufacturers or become an authorized service provider.
Many manufacturers offer training classes on how to install their photovoltaic systems. Altair Energy (www.altairenergy.com) offers an Authorized Service Provider program that includes marketing and technical support to electrical contracting firms looking to break into the photovoltaics market.
- Join industry associations.
The Solar Energy Industries Association (www.seia.org) has launched chapters in several states, and the American Solar Energy Society (www.ases.org) offers a membership program for corporations and small businesses.
Sidebar: Solar Energy Powers Large-Scale Development
A San Diego builder and Golden, Colo.-based renewable energy systems company have partnered to bring photovoltaic technology into the mainstream. KD Development and Altair Energy are currently building the largest 180-unit photovoltaic development in the United States. Warmack Electric, an Anaheim, Calif.-based electrical contracting firm, is installing a total of 210kW on six apartment buildings and a community clubhouse to provide about 80% of the tenants' electricity needs. Richard Eidlin of Altair says these new housing developments are becoming popular in states like California and Arizona, where builders are starting to offer photovoltaics as a standard feature.
"Just like a builder might put in marble countertops, a two-car garage, and a Jacuzzi, why not include a PV system that saves money and helps the environment?" Eidlin says.

sizeme_graph.pl - web server providing an interactive treemap of Devel::SizeMe data
sizeme_graph.pl --db sizeme.db daemon
sizeme_graph.pl daemon # same as above
Then open a web browser on http://127.0.0.1:3000
Reads a database created by sizeme_store.pl and provides a web interface with an interactive treemap of the data.
Currently requires Mojolicious::Lite which isn't available for perl 5.8. If this affects you you can run Devel::SizeMe with your normal perl and run sizeme_graph.pl with a different perl, perhaps on a different machine.
Current implementation is all very alpha and rather hackish.
Split out the db and tree code into a separate module.
Use a history management library so the back button works and we can have links to specific nodes.
Better tool-tip and/or add a scrollable information area below the treemap that could contain details and links.
Make the treemap resize to fit the browser window (as NYTProf does).
Protect against nodes with thousands of children perhaps replace all with single merged child that has no children itself but just a warning as a title.
Implement other visualizations, such as a space-tree http://thejit.org/static/v20/Jit/Examples/Spacetree/example2.html

Coral Coast
Coral Coast
Resorts are spread along the Coral Coast's spectacular shoreline. And with so many beautiful bays and beaches, many have their very own stretch of tropical paradise for you to relax on. There are also a number of resorts and restaurants at Korotogo, just outside Sigatoka town, so you'll easily find accommodation to suit your price point.All accommodation in Coral Coast
Miles of shoreline and close proximity to the Sigatoka river means that water sports are abundant on the Coral Coast. From snorkelling or diving around coral reefs to fast-paced jet boat safaris on the river, you'll definitely have the chance to get wet.
Nature enthusiasts can visit the Sigatoka Sand Dunes National Park, home to an extensive dune system and archaeological sites dating back 3,000 years. The Kula Wild Adventure Park, Fiji's only wildlife park, can also be found on the Coral Coast. With endangered native species like the peregrine falcon and crested iguana, it's about as wild as Fiji gets.
Getting to Coral Coast
Buses travel the Coral Coast continuously on the route between Nadi International Airport and Suva. The 'stopping bus' does exactly what it says picking up whoever waves them down from the side of the road, although there are also express services available.
As the whole Coral Coast is just one to two hours from Nadi, most resorts offer transfers to the international airport. You can also easily hire a taxi or rental car.
Dining in Coral Coast
Most restaurants on the Coral Coast can be found at resorts, but the markets and eateries around Korotogo and Sigatoka town are great places to sample the local flavours. The Sigatoka Valley is known as 'Fiji's salad bowl,' so a weekend trip to the markets is a must if you want to stock up on fresh fruit and vegetables.Dining in Coral Coast

Blood, a new work by Brazilian dancer Jean Abreu, opens in the Royal Opera House's Linbury Studio Theatre on Thursday 27 June.
Inspired by Gilbert & George's 'The Fundamental Pictures' - a series of works that put bodily fluids under the microscope - Blood follows a man's exploration of his flesh and blood. The process starts with the physical, but leads him to question the composition of his soul.
'The Fundamental Pictures made me want explore spiritual, scientific and philosophical questions about the body,' said Jean told the Brazilian Post. 'Dance is one of the most pure and raw ways of expressing emotions and ideas: it is a key to open the door to another way of seeing and feeling.'
Jean, who was born in Brazil and has been based in London for 15 years, founded Jean Abreu Dance in 2009.
'My work combines European contemporary dance with Latin traditions, which takes my movement language to new and unique places', he said.
For his latest work, he has collaborated with Italian software artists Mirko Arcese and Luca Biada, and award-winning production designer Alan Macdonald (The Queen, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel). A solo dance piece described as a visceral multi-media experience, the production uses innovative motion-capture technology and animation, and features a score by Paul Wolinski, of 65daysofstatic.
Listen to an extract of the score:
Blood will be performed in the Linbury Studio Theatre on 27 and 28 June. Tickets are still available.

The Game Developers Conference has always been a show worth covering, but the hard game news and reveals tend to take place during E3. EA is bucking the trend with a press-only event taking place the day before this year's GDC, with some big games on display. What is going to be shown?
- Alice Madness Returns
- Crysis 2
- Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
- Shadows of the Damned
- Battlefield Play4Free
- Battlefield 3
Battlefield 3 will in fact have its own reveal event, and interviews and hands-on time are promised for the above-mentioned titles. This is a smart move: the majority of the gaming press will be in San Francisco anyway, and this is a good time to make sure everyone is writing about your titles. Plus, that's a pretty impressive list of games to put on display.
Ars will be there to cover GDC, which begins March 2, as well as the EA event taking place a day before.

CBS Wants Dish To Make Their Ad-Skipping Hopper DVR Even Less Useful If They Want Streaming Video Rights
from the just-get-the-hell-out-of-the-way deptAs we recently noted, Dish has announced a new content distribution deal with CBS that's quite the double-edged sword. On one hand, Dish has agreed to cripple the ad-skipping feature on their Hopper DVR for ABC and Disney content for the first three days after a new episode airs. In exchange for Dish making their service less useful, ABC has agreed to drop their absurd lawsuit claiming that ad-skipping violates copyright. ABC has also agreed to loosen up restrictions on streaming content, allowing Dish to potentially offer an "over the top" Internet video streaming service sometime down the road.
This has, of course, resulted in the usual press hype from reporters who don't understand how difficult broadcasters make getting these types of services off the ground (just ask Intel, Sony, Microsoft, Apple, Google, and countless startups). Bloomberg, for example, right after telling readers it's too early to speculate on price for such a service, immediately proceeds to speculate on price for such a service -- claiming a new Dish Internet TV service would only cost users between "$20 and $30 a month."
There's still a lot of things standing in Dish's way -- assuming Dish is competent enough to craft a decent service in the first place. We can't read the contract, so we have no idea what restrictions Disney, ABC and ESPN are going to layer on this new licensing agreement to cripple it to the point of uselessness (oh hi Hulu, didn't see you standing there). Dish also needs to sign on a lot more broadcasters to flesh out a service catalog, something that's not going to be easy. Quickly proving that point, CBS CEO Les Moonves stated at an investor conference he's going to expect Dish to cripple Hopper much more severely if Dish expects a similar deal from CBS:
"Mr. Moonves, speaking at a Morgan Stanley investor conference, said the arrangement is "not quite enough for us." Several broadcasters, including CBS, say increasing numbers of viewers are watching TV shows more than three days after they air, via DVRs or on-demand services. Mr. Moonves has been among the executives pushing for the industry to shift to a model where advertisers pay for seven days of viewing instead of three. He said CBS's carriage deal with Dish expires this year, and he expects to take a different approach than Disney in the negotiations with Dish Chairman Charlie Ergen. "We are going to want to do some different things," he said, noting that Disney has different assets and priorities."Who knows what kind of demands CBS is going to make, but it's pretty clear the demands will include making the Hopper DVR even less useful, while saddling any streaming agreement with just enough restrictions to prevent it from actually being disruptive. On one hand it could make sense for Dish to tell CBS to go to hell, as the broadcasters losing in court would set precedent that protects ad skipping from copyright claims. On the other hand, doing that would mean yet another over the top disruptive Internet TV service would die in the cradle thanks to myopic, terrified broadcasters.
