Green Building FAQ

Does this mean I have to pay more?

  • Green building... what is it?

    Green building is designing and constructing a comfortable home that has the smallest impact on the environment during and after construction. Green building has acquired a stigma of being a tremendously complicated process. Depending on the involved parties, it can be. The “green building” movement has become a politically driven industry with accreditation and certificates presented to the homeowner upon completion of their home and subsequent inspection. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a set of rating systems for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of green buildings, homes, and neighborhoods.

    We feel like the best definition of “green building” is to build a home sensibly.

  • Why would I want to build a green home? Isn't it more expensive?

    Almost always, green building is going to be more expensive than traditional building. It takes “green” (dollars) to build “green” (certified). However before deciding whether you will or not, you need to ask yourself a question.

    Do I want to build a green home because…

    1. I believe I can make a difference?
    2. It utilizes sensible ideas?
    3. It will save me money?
    4. I want to be recognized?

    Every green home that is built will contribute to the overall quality of the community. If you like the ideas in green building because they make sense then you have to weigh your desires for practicality versus your budget. You need to consider and compare the long term savings versus the short term cost, when choosing what system you will use and how it will affect your budget. Except for very rare circumstances, you will not save money upfront when using green building practices. If your motivation is to be recognized within your community as being the “green building guy”, then you have already defeated the original purpose of building green.

    One last thing to consider is your site. The attributes of your site, location, exposure, elevation, climate, terrain, etc., will significantly affect the decision making process regardless of your motives. This gets back to the premise that green building is building a home sensibly.

  • Can a timber frame be 'green'?

    Yes. Timber frames are considered sustainable buildings mostly because of their longevity. A typical stick frame house has roughly a 50 year lifespan before major repairs are needed. Whereas a timber frame should stand for hundreds of years before major repairs are needed… if they are needed. Also according to the LEED scoring system a timber frame would fall under Innovation and Design where part of the plan is to build the most durable house possible. A perfect example would be found in Europe where timber framing was, and still is, in widespread use because of longevity.

    Another example of the sustainable aspect of timber frames is found in the ‘reclaimed barn’ industry. These companies dismantle North American barns and resell them as packages to be raised elsewhere. How many stick frame houses do you see being dismantled and reassembled in a different location? Most stick frame houses when dismantled are done with a backhoe and a bulldozer. One of the drawbacks to reassembled frames or even reclaimed wood is the engineering. It is very hard for an engineer to sign off on a dismantled frame because the grade of the wood is usually unknown and the joinery is usually unknown.

  • It looks like a timber frame uses more wood than a stick frame home. How can it still be a green building?

    Looks can be deceiving. Timber frames typically use less wood than a conventional stick framed home because the load supporting capabilities of the wood are optimized. Also, because of the nature of timber framing, the layouts of timber frames tend to be made up of squares and rectangles. Any time you simplify the design of any house, it will usually be a more efficient home.

  • Do you use FSC certified wood?

    No. We have explored this option in the past and our mill was certified FSC at one time. However, we have learned that FSC timber comes from the same forests, same trees as regular timber. The only difference is in the paper trail. The paper trail adds cost to the timber and sends more money to bureaucrats who have never even walked through the woods of the northwest.

    In addition to that, the people involved with the harvesting of the timbers understand that the forests are their livelihood. The idea that they would blindly log an entire forest makes no sense when considering the generations that will follow them. Being a good steward of their resources not only includes logging wisely but also replanting trees to replenish the forest for their future. It just makes sense.

    (The other side of it is that if all the forests were logged, John wouldn’t have anywhere to go Elk hunting!)

  • How energy efficient is a timber frame house?

    A timber frame is only as energy efficient as the envelope that encloses it. The method that has shown the best energy efficiency is using “SIP’s” (Structurally Insulated Panels). These are fixed to the outside of the timber frame and because they do not have thermal breaks in the insulation, they create a solid curtain of insulation. This drastically reduces the amount of heat lost by conduction through the walls and ceilings. Because SIP’s interlock during application, they also create a virtually airtight building envelope.

  • I've heard that an airtight home can have poor indoor-air quality.

    In some cases that is true. How “healthy” the home is can be affected by the building materials used and by how the air circulation is handled. Air quality can be regulated through the use of a high efficiency air exchanger. Not only do you introduce fresh outside air while expelling indoor contaminants, your utility dollars are maximized by transferring the energy from the outgoing air.

  • So... is a timber frame home 'green'?

  • Where do I start if I want to build a green home?

    The first place to start is with a sketch of your house. That sketch puts your wishes and needs down on paper. The next step is footwork. Find out what green building methods you have access to and which make sense. Radiant floor heat for example… some areas it makes sense and it others it doesn’t. Remember that green building is about building smart, not state of the art or with the most people involved. Once you have an idea of what systems you want to use, then you begin to modify your home to accommodate those systems. If you can’t accommodate the systems in your home, then you might need to revisit the systems and see what options are available. The process in designing a green home isn’t cut and dried. There will be many twists, turns, and switchbacks as you progress.

    One place you can always go to for information at the start is your local building department. With the green building movement becoming so prevalent, the chances are high that they have already dealt with some “green systems.” After that, Google becomes your best friend. On our Informational Links page under the Building Information menu, we’ve posted a few links to green building resources.

  • Wow! That's a fantastic idea, let's use it!

    Sound familiar? We all get caught up in an idea from time to time. The problem is that not all great ideas are practical or all that great. When you’re researching green building systems, you will find plenty of great ideas. Take time to research them by looking at not only who makes the product but who is living with it and who has built/installed it.

    One case in point are ICF foundations. The principle behind them is great. The problem is that they tend to be marketed as “you and your buddies from baseball can form a foundation in a weekend!” When looking for an ICF company, make sure they will send a representative to help you get the forms setup correctly.

Obama: NSA spying doesn't mean 'abandoning freedom'

In an interview with Charlie Rose, the president maintains that the top-secret NSA spying programs were within the bounds of the law and were intended to protect U.S. citizens.

President Barack Obama. Martin LaMonica/CNET

News about the National Security Agency's classified surveillance programs has been abundant the past few days, and to top it off, President Obama is now giving a 45-minute interview about the issue with Charlie Rose on Monday evening.

Buzzfeed published a partial transcript of the interview before tonight's airing of the show. While Obama goes over the topics of the two NSA spying programs with more detail, it appears he's reiterating much of the same when it comes to the White House's stance on the programs and document leaks. Essentially, it did nothing wrong.

"What I've said, and I continue to believe, is that we don't have to sacrifice our freedom in order to achieve security. That's a false choice. That doesn't mean that there are not tradeoffs involved in any given program, in any given action that we take," Obama told Rose. "To say there's a tradeoff doesn't mean somehow that we've abandoned freedom."

The NSA is one of the biggest surveillance and eavesdropping agencies in the U.S. and was where former CIA employee and whistleblower Edward Snowden was working when he decided to leak some of the agency's top-secret documents to the press a couple of weeks ago.

This document leak has led to the public finding out that the government has been working to spy on people via metadata from Internet companies and cellular records in two programs -- 2015 Program and PRISM. The NSA and the Obama administration have said the goal of the surveillance programs were to track down foreign terrorists and terrorist threats.

"The way I view it, my job is both to protect the American people and to protect the American way of life, which includes our privacy," Obama said. "And so every program that we engage in, what I've said is 'Let's examine and make sure that we're making the right tradeoffs.'"

The White House has maintained that the secret surveillance programs were legal. In the case of the 2015 Program, which looks at phone records, Obama said that the phone numbers aren't connected to any names or database content -- they're simply "number pairs." And, in the case of PRISM, he said that the program mainly targets foreign nationals and only goes after U.S. citizens when officials have a warrant.

"What I can say unequivocally is that if you are a U.S. person, the NSA cannot listen to your telephone calls, and the NSA cannot target your e-mails... and have not. They cannot and have not, by law and by rule, and unless they -- and usually it wouldn't be 'they,' it'd be the FBI -- go to a court, and obtain a warrant, and seek probable cause," Obama told Rose. "So point number one, if you're a U.S. person, then NSA is not listening to your phone calls and it's not targeting your emails unless it's getting an individualized court order. That's the existing rule."

Rose asked Obama whether the system should be more transparent and the president maintained it is since his administration, a federal court (FISA), and Congress oversee the program. Obama said what the NSA is doing is different than former President George W. Bush and former Vice President Dick Cheney's wiretapping program.

"Some people say, 'Well, you know, Obama was this raving liberal before. Now he's, you know, Dick Cheney,'" Obama told Rose. "My concern has always been not that we shouldn't do intelligence gathering to prevent terrorism, but rather are we setting up a system of checks and balances?"

Obama defended the NSA surveillance programs two weeks ago with many of the same arguments. But since then, many politicians and tech leaders have come out opposing the secret program, while digital rights advocacy groups have questioned the full legality of PRISM and 2015.

The whistleblower Snowden has recently taken his accusations against the U.S. government a step further. In an interview with the Guardian on Monday, he said that even though a warrant is required for surveillance on U.S. citizens, the NSA is looking at information from domestic phone calls without warrants.

"Americans' communications are collected and viewed on a daily basis on the certification of an analyst rather than a warrant," Snowden said. Intelligence analysts at the NSA, CIA, FBI, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and other similar arms of the government who have access to raw data can "enter and get results for anything they want," he said.

Obama's full interview with Charlie Rose airs Monday evening on PBS.

Where Zeppelins are born

Road Trip 2011: CNET's Daniel Terdiman got a chance to visit the headquarters of Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik, the makers of the Zeppelin NT, and to see the partial construction of the next of the new-style airships to emerge from the Friedrichshafen, Germany hangar.

A Zeppelin NT, made by Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik, rests inside its hangar in Friedrichshafen, Germany. CNET reporter Daniel Terdiman visited as part of Road Trip 2011.

FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, Germany--The thunder and lightning outside are fierce, so there are no flights today. That's disappointing for anyone who had been scheduled to fly, but for me it's a blessing: I get to see Europe's only Zeppelin NT in its home hangar.

As part of Road Trip 2011 I'd come to this Germany city on Lake Constance to visit the Zeppelin Museum, but as a bonus, I was now headed out for a meeting with Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik (ZLT), the only company in the world that makes the internal-structure airships. And with buckets of water coming down and lightning crashing, I ran from the Audi A6 TFSI I was road-testing into the company's headquarters building.

This is no ordinary office building. From inside it may look normal, but it's just adjacent to the Zeppelin NT hangar. ZLT builts the NTs and operates its own "airline," Deutsche Zeppelin-Reederei, which flies in and around Friedrichshafen. And inside the hangar, a huge airships is resting quietly, moored to its mast truck, and not trying to fly passengers through the dramatic storm.

Once upon a time, Zeppelins ruled the world's skies, and the Graf Hindenburg is one of the most famous aircraft in history--and it already was before its infamous fiery crash in 1937. But over time, airplanes began to dominate air travel and Zeppelins disappeared. Until ZLT came along, that is, and resurrected the name--and the aircraft.

Now, ZLT has three of its Zeppelin NTs flying around the world, including one in Silicon Valley that is flown by Airship Ventures, and which takes passengers on breathtaking flights around the Bay Area and beyond.

But here in Friedrichshafen, the hangar is not just for protecting a Zeppelin between flights. This is also where ZLT is building new Zeppelins. Currently, there are parts hanging on the wall of the hangar that are being used for the reconstruction of a Zeppelin NT that formerly flew in Japan. And more famously, ZLT is designing three Zeppelins for Goodyear--which is planning to retire is iconic blimps in favor of zeppelins by 2014. But according to my host here, ZLT publicist Dorit Knorr, the airships will actually be built in Goodyear's Akron, Ohio, facilities. And that's appropriate, because that's where Goodyear made Zeppelins in the 1920s and 1930s.

Having taken a ride over Silicon Valley in the Airship Ventures zeppelin, being able to come here and see where the Zeppelin NT comes from was quite a treat. And if you find yourself in Friedrichshafen any time soon, I would have no problem suggesting that you take some time after you visit the museum and head over to the airport. Hopefully, the weather will be good enough so that you can fly.

View Full Version : Need help with error

02-26-2008, 10:23 PM
I have a search script for searching .pdf files which works great, but I get an

Warning: printf() [function.printf]: Too few arguments in /index.php on line 84
My code for line 84 is:

printf("
" . $row["productnumber"] . "	" . trim($row["productname"]) . "
");
Can anyone please help me with this?

02-26-2008, 10:33 PM
My guess is there are percent signs in the values of the variables you are building the string with, which printf() recognizes as a conversion specifier, and expects an additional argument to complete the conversion.

So... why are you using printf() rather than just plain ol' print?

02-26-2008, 11:49 PM
I don't PHP very well so my friend helped me with it. I changed it to print() and error went away thanks for you help.

Describe the campaign/entry:
Studies show that with constant practice, people can overcome their fears permanently. So we collaborated with doctors and VR programmers to create a free home training VR app to help people overcome two of the most common fears using Samsung Gear VR and Samsung Galaxy mobile.
The Fear of Public Speaking VR app was designed with computer graphics, while the locations for the Fear of Heights VR app were filmed with 360 cameras.
How it works is simple. Each app contains various scenarios and levels that were carefully selected by the medical staff. People are exposed to fears in stages to gradually overcome their fears. It’s the world’s first VR app that holistically utilizes your heart rate, eye contact and voce recognition to give a personalized feedback. Although VR is a one to one experience, the campaign is designed so people can get support and encouragement from social media.
A manifesto film, kick off films, social contents and 360 viral films on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and other media encouraged more than 7500 people around the world to apply to participate in the #BeFearless campaign. 27 from UAE, Germany, Russia and Austria were selected to be trained for 30 minutes everyday for 4 weeks. Meanwhile, to test the effect of the VR app, the medical team in Seoul went through a clinical testing of their own.
Each local market released in stages, their participant’s journey on overcoming their fears. And two final campaign films were released on YouTube, social media, Samsung Launching People homepage, and bloggers’ websites, accompanied by PR release. For the public, #BeFearless VR apps were also made available for free on Oculus Store.
Doctors from Yonsei University Gangnam Severance Hospital approved the credibility of the BeFearless VR app through their own clinical testing. After only two weeks of VR training, 87.8% of 82 people saw benefits.
People with fear of public speaking were able to reduce their anxiety score by 18.7% and those with fear of heights by 23.6%.
Following its succes, the campaign was covered in more than 350 media including public TV and major newspapers worldwide which values more than 1 million dollars. The journeys of our participants had over 100 million views and over 400 million media impression worldwide.
Samsung #BeFearless VR apps had more than 50, 000 downloads on Oculus Store with a high rating of 4. #BeFearless program is now also being used in the hospital’s VR clinic. After the campaign, Samsung’s brand attachment improved as high as 18.9%.
The Situation:
Samsung #BeFearless campaign received a lot of spotlight from media around the world in that it showed new possibilities of leveraging VR technology in health-care industry for societal benefits. In collaboration with doctors and VR developers, the VR app was designed to help people overcome their fear of public speaking and fear of heights easily at home using Samsung Gear VR and Samsung Galaxy mobile. #BeFearless VR apps can be downloaded for free and the program is currently being used in hospital’s VR clinic.
The Strategy:
To strongly engage 18-29 young consumers with Samsung, we asked about their biggest fear that stops them in life through YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and other social media. And backed up by recent medical journals, the common fears addressed were the fear of heights and fear of public speaking.
1 in 5 people have a fear of public speaking (Ruscio et al., 2008)
1 in 4 people have a fear of heights (Brandt & Huppert, 2014)
Doctors in VR clinics and VR professionals were gathered together to create VR training apps for each fear. Theses were created to have the highest quality Samsung Galaxy S6 specification allows and was completed in 10 months. And at last, the VR apps were translated into 4 different languages: Korean, English, German, Russian.

Interview: Karen Ore

Karen and Brier

Comfortable Comfort Foods is delighted to welcome Karen Ore, life coach and gluten-free chef. Karen gave me the jumpstart I needed to build some confidence with wheat-free baking. She has risen to the challenge of multiple food allergies without flinching, and she has made it her life’s work to help others with similar problems.

CCF: There are several facets to your work, aren’t there? Teaching, coaching … please tell us about it. How did you get into this line of work?

Karen Ore: I completed a Bachelors of Science degree in Nutrition at Montana State University and worked in a couple of different nutrition education programs. I also taught cooking classes through our local Adult Education Program and continue to teach privately. I love good food, and having dietary restrictions has been the impetus for me to try new things. I also like sharing my discoveries with others and realized that I could help people learn about preparing high quality food at home. I attended a Life Coaching training program, and through working with clients who were interested in telling their personal stories I began teaching memoir writing classes. What holds everything together is my love of learning and my desire to be of service to people.

CCF: I understand that you also have dietary limitations. How did you discover that it was food that was giving you trouble?

Karen Ore: I was tested for allergies when I was a teenager. I was an itchy miserable mess. I had been breaking out in hives and my skin was red and irritated. I also had recurring bouts of gastrointestinal distress that didn’t seem to have an identifiable cause. We discovered that I had several food allergies as well as many environmental sensitivities. I came away from the testing with prescriptions for antihistamines and corticosteroids and a long list of foods and substances to avoid without really any information of how to accomplish that. This was 40 years ago. If there were substitutes or allergy specific products I wasn’t made aware of them, and they weren’t available in Montana.

CCF: Where are some of the places you looked for help? Were there dead ends? How did you find what worked?

Karen Ore: I started reading anything I could find about different ways of eating, explored the cuisines of other countries and began seeking out Asian markets and health food stores. It has been trial and error, learning what works for me and what doesn’t. I avoid all dairy products, eggs, wheat and other gluten-containing grains, shellfish, and pistachios. I am also careful about staying away from as many environmental pollutants as possible.

CCF: What’s the first advice you’d give someone who’s sick and tired of feeling crummy?

Karen Ore: I think that consulting a qualified allergist and/or gastroenterologist is important, as is keeping a food diary, if people suspect that the food they are eating is the problem or part of the problem. Food allergies, intolerances and sensitivities as well as Celiac disease are complex issues, and getting professional help is important. I also think that doing your own research is empowering. It seems to me that when food is diagnosed as the culprit, we are told what not to eat without a lot of emphasis on what else is available to us. Flipping that around and concentrating on what you can eat is less depressing and more useful.

CCF: Are there books, websites, or other resources that you like to recommend?

Karen Ore: I cook a lot of foods from cultures that are not as heavily based on wheat, dairy and eggs. My Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, and Indian cookbooks are used often, as well as the Moosewood cookbooks. Blogs/ Websites that I really like are Indian As Apple Pie, Fat Free Vegan Kitchen, Eating Well, and the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network.

CCF: I took one of your cooking lessons and came away with some recipes that were so good that my free-eating friends love them. Thank you for permission to use them on this website (see Can Not Fail to Impress Double Chocolate Cookies and Dinner Biscuits). Are you still on the lookout for new recipes and flour blends?

Karen Ore: Thank you, I am so glad that they are being used and appreciated. My goal when developing recipes is to make it so that everyone can enjoy the food whether they have dietary restrictions or not. I am always experimenting with new ideas, ingredients, and ways to make food that I can safely eat and enjoy. To me it is a success when someone doesn’t realize they are eating a special diet food.

CCF: I love that, too. Do you work with kids? Are their issues—or their solutions—a little different?

Karen Ore: While I have not worked with kids who have dietary restrictions, I have taught cooking lessons to children. It seems to me that feeling different can be a bigger issue for younger people, so having food to eat that is as “normal” as possible is especially important.

CCF: Definitely. What factors do you think might be contributing to the upswing in IBS, gluten-free eating, etc. over the last several years?

Karen Ore: I think that there are probably multiple causes and am not sure that any one theory applies to everyone. The increased accessibility of alternative ingredients has helped to make cooking for allergies and food sensitivities more mainstream, which is a real advantage for those of us who need to avoid certain ingredients.

CCF: It certainly is. And now, just for fun: What’s your favorite go-to ingredient … and why?

Karen Ore: I’m not sure I can mention only one. The most useful ingredient for those of us who avoid gluten-containing grains is Xanthan gum, because it allows baked goods to hold together. My favorite is good quality dark chocolate because for a long time finding chocolate without milk added was very difficult. The third isn’t an ingredient—it is a sense of adventure, a willingness to try different ways of cooking to achieve delicious results.

CCF: Karen, thanks for your willingness to be interviewed and for the great recipes!

Recipe coming soon: Karen’s killer biscotti, perfect for a Downton Abbey evening.

REVIEW: Conan / Red Sonja #3

Writer: Gail Simone, Jim Zub
Penciller: Randy Green
Inker: Rick Ketcham
Colorist: Dave Stewart
Cover Artist: Dan Panosian
Publication Date: March 25, 2015

Not having learnt my lesson last week (Trek and Planet of the Apes), I am back into another properties crossover.  This time, the more suited Conan and Red Sonja step into the arena.

This is the third part of four and such there is a mix of action and set up pieces for the finale.  We start with our heroes surrounded by all the Kings men, in an attempt to gain revenge for his sons murder.  From there, it slash here, hack there and stab that, before moving to a quiet interlude prior to the seeds of their next crisis being sown.

The writers in this epic are Gail Simone, who is currently riding high thanks to her stellar work on the main Red Sonja book from Dynamite and the revived Secret Six from DC and Jim Zub,who has recently been causing a ruckus with Wayward for Image. The mix of writers reflect the the manner by which Sonja and Conan conduct themselves. It’s easy to see that Sonja is the chirpier of two with Conan sullen and to be honest, a little bored of all the killing and mayhem. Is this a more mature Conan? As readers, are we also bored of all the killing and the mayhem? I ,for one, am not at all. Having reviewed two different versions of Sonja, and the recent issue of her book, (yes I have a thing for red heads), I thoroughly enjoyed the give and take of two peers who are somewhat more than friends.

Art is supplied by Randy Green with inks by Rick Ketcham and for the most part is very strong, especially the action scenes.  I was impressed by the level of consistency when it came to facial expressions throughout, with only a couple of panels towards the end showing a  couple of off kilter poses affecting a small portion of the book.

Dark Horse colouring guru, Dave Stewart, is on hand with his usual excellent job. I am surprised that Mike Mignola has let him off his books, allowing Stewart to further impress.

Despite this being a crossover book of sorts, I thought it was great. It’s hard to combine elements of two different books, let alone two different companies without stepping on any toes. The fact that Sonja and Conan are similar does help this, but it is the talent on hand that makes the whole book work.

Senate Panel Prods NRC to Act on Fukushima Report

For Immediate Release

Senate Panel Prods NRC to Act on Fukushima Report

WASHINGTON - Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) today pressed the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to aggressively implement task force recommendations on reactor safety in the wake of Japan’s nuclear crisis.

“Delay is not an acceptable option,” Sanders said at an Environment and Public Works Committee hearing in Washington. “We must do everything in our power to make sure nuclear power plants are safe and that this country never experiences what happened in Japan.”

Sanders spoke at a hearing called to look into NRC foot dragging on the recommendations. “I applaud the recommendations made by the task force, but I am disturbed that a majority of the NRC does not want to move forward on all 12 recommendations within three months,” Sanders told the commissioners. "I know what delay means in this town, it means nothing is going to happen.”

After a March 11 earthquake and tsunami caused meltdowns and radiation leaks at Japan’s Fukushima nuclear plant, a task force recommended safety improvements for the 104 U.S. commercial reactors. Twenty-three nuclear reactors in the United States, including Vermont Yankee, share the same General Electric design as the reactors at Fukushima.

Sanders also cited an Associated Press investigation that pointed out flaws in safety regulations at U.S. nuclear plants and found a cozy relationship between the NRC and the nuclear power industry it regulates. “Federal regulators have been working closely with the nuclear power industry to keep the nation's aging reactors operating within safety standards by repeatedly weakening those standards, or simply failing to enforce them,” according to the AP investigation.

At the Senate hearing, Sanders supported NRC Chairman Gregory Jaczko’s roadmap for action which calls for agency to respond to the task force recommendation within 90 days.

Some commissioners are not supportive of taking action on all 12 safety recommendations made by the task force within three months. Commissioners William Magwood, Kristine Svinicki and William Ostendorff have called for more study of at least some of the recommendations, while Commissioner George Apostolakis supports taking action in 90 days.

More TPP Trickery: Keystone Pipeline Company Demands $15B Under Prior Trade Deal

More TPP Trickery: Keystone Pipeline Company Demands $15B Under Prior Trade Deal

This week, the TransCanada pipeline company officially filed a $15 billion corporate trade lawsuit against the United States for refusing to allow the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. After an intense grassroots campaign by environmentalists, farmers, landowners and local governments, President Obama blocked the pipeline that would have delivered high-carbon oil from Canadian tar sands because it undermined U.S. efforts to fight climate change.

But TransCanada is now using North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) investment rules to sue the federal government for rejecting the pipeline, demanding $15 billion dollars in repayment for anticipated profits it expected from the project.

Killing the Messenger

TPP Expands Corporate Power

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) has the same kind of investment rules that allow foreign companies to sue for damages if new laws or policies allegedly undermine their expected future earnings. These rules set up a special court for corporations to challenge measures that protect the environment and public health — effectively demanding payoffs when governments take action to safeguard the public.

Greenhouse gas polluters could use the TPP investment provisions to unravel federal, state and local efforts to fight climate change. For example, these TPP rules would empower foreign oil and gas companies with leases on public lands to sue for damages if Congress passed the Protect Our Public Lands Act, which would prohibit fracking on federal land.

Take Action: Tell Congress to Reject the TPP

This week’s Keystone XL lawsuit brought to you by NAFTA only highlights the dangers of these corporate trade investor suits and contributes to the growing skepticism and hostility towards the TPP. It’s no wonder there is widespread and surging dissatisfaction with so-called free trade deals that are little more than giveaways to the largest international corporations.

Enough is enough. Congress should reject the TPP to prevent these corporate trade lawsuits from weakening environmental, workplace and public health protections. Take action today to urge Congress to reject the TPP.

Open source biz apps coming to the cloud

SugarCRM makes wares available as hosted services, joining ERP provider Compiere in the cloud

There's open source software, then there's the cloud, and thus far, the two have been mutually exclusive. But that is starting to change.

On Wednesday, SugarCRM made its array of applications available first and foremost as hosted services, and unwrapped the Sugar Open Cloud, which it describes as an on-demand open platform.

"Parts of open source and parts of the cloud come together," explained Martin Schneider, SugarCRM's director of product marketing.

Essentially, customers buy a license that gets them access to the hosted application, SugarCRM's platform and tools, and the code itself, Schneider said.

"We are in the middle of a large paradigm change right now," said Denis Pombriant, founder and principal analyst of Beagle Research. "New models are taking to the forefront."

Indeed, open source ERP vendor Compiere also has a hosted edition of its applications. In March, Compeire made its ERP available on Amazon's EC2 such that customers can tap Amazon's cloud for ERP services including accounting, purchasing, order fulfillment, manufacturing, and warehousing.

SugarCRM, for its part, on Wednesday detailed a new lineup that features Sugar Express, which costs $8 a month per user, Professional for $30 per user per month, and the Enterprise iteration that costs $50 per month for each user.

SugarCRM also unveiled Sugar Open Cloud for managing SugarCRM and other applications. Sugar Open Cloud consists of tools for application delivery, integration services, fault-tolerance, monitoring, and security.

"We really want to push people to the cloud," SugarCRM's Schneider said. "It's the best way to manage the applications. Why deal with servers?"

For those customers that do prefer to install and manage the application on-premise, however, each edition of SugarCRM comes with a download key. "It's the user's choice," Schneider added. "They can run it themselves or just install it for things like testing and development, or working offline."

And, yes, the free community edition is still available, just not as a hosted service.

Tim Hickernell, lead analyst with Info-Tech Research Group, commented that he believes open source apps in the cloud will become just as attractive as proprietary hosted services, and that customers should judge them on the same criteria.

"I don't think companies should focus on whether it's an open source service or a commercial service, but instead should focus on who is offering the service," Hickernell added. "When subscribing to services in the cloud, CRM or otherwise, companies need to consider the viability of the provider, just as they should if they outsource a commercial application."

Both Hickernell and Pombriant said that they envision SaaS providers such as Compiere and SugarCRM, as well as NetSuite, and others, will take on the role of trusted intermediaries that effectively aggregate cloud services to not only leverage tools of behalf of subscribers but also run the complex networks.

"It's hard to tell what models will be successful but we are in a period when companies will be experimenting," Beagle Research's Pombriant said.

KAZ ponders AAS acquisition

KAZ Computer Services has halted trading on the Australian Stock Exchange pending an announcement concerning the possibility of acquiring AMP's superannuation funds administration business, AAS.

It is understood KAZ Computer Services will be offering the insurance giant around $75 million for the acquisition, which would effectively see an outsourced IT provider purchase the business it serviced.

KAZ has been the IT provider for AAS for more than 10 years through a range of initiatives. It has provided outsourcing and facilities management, desktop services, application development, maintenance and support, imaging and workflow, project management, Internet services, networking and strategic consulting to the administration business.

AAS general manager Graham Giannini told ARN that until later next week any statement would be a "hopeful best guess" as the two companies are only in the stage of early discussions. He said nothing has yet been signed or agreed upon, thus any public comment would be a breach of the ASX listing rules. KAZ spokespeople have also been instructed not to comment on the rumours.

It has been an eventful week for KAZ Computer Services, with the company also announcing it has won a two-year business process outsourcing contract with David Jones to process all the application forms for the David Jones Card. The contract will be serviced by KAZ's 100 per cent owned subsidiary, Ausdata.

Solved Why does Chrome Remote session end prematurely?

December 30, 2014 at 12:19:44
Specs: OS X
I am using Chrome remote App on my MAC. I am accessing the PC in my office. All seems to be fine, but if I pause even a few seconds to get information and go back to the screen, there is a message asking if I want to continue sharing. But I can't click on the Continue button. Then the session ends. Are there time out settings and if so, how do I change them on my MAC and the office PC?

See More: Why does Chrome Remote session end prematurely?

✔ Best Answer
Maybe this

Or this:

Basically, the remote app is really intended for communication between two people each at their own computer, so one of them will see the "continue sharing?" prompt because at least one of them will be in front of their PC all the time. They would then click 'OK' and the connection won't timeout.

Your situation is outside the apps intended purpose. Commercial software exists which is designed to give one person remote access to another of their computers (eg home PC to office PC, or vice versa). It doesn't drop the session until you log out of it.

That's what you should be using.

5 Keys to An Efficient Help Desk

Here at ConnectWise, we’ve spent a lot of time talking to our customers. Whether it’s through consulting, support, forums, or at our events, we’ve learned a lot from these conversations.

One of the biggest things we’ve learned from our hard-working customers is how important a role process plays in running your help desk at peak efficiency. Your help desk is step one for customers looking for answers to their immediate questions. When you provide the help they need, and you do so quickly, you solidify your place as their go-to expert for technology services support.

Helping Your Help Desk

So what does all of this mean for the management of your help desk? You need to be sure you’ve got a plan in place for making sure this vital point of contact can address those incoming issues without delay. Even your most relaxed customers aren’t going to stay calm if their needs aren’t being met, so rely on our Help Desk Management to make sure that doesn’t happen.

The keys to perfecting your help desk begin with these five rules for true efficiency.

1. Everything is a Ticket

Tickets are the gatekeeper to all of your most important data, so this is by far the most important rule. Every incident and request should be logged to capture all work performed, whether it’s big or small, urgent or routine.

Regardless of whether its requests, incidents, problems, events, or change management, it happens in a ticket. Internal requests, alerts, emails, phone calls, portal requests…all go in a ticket.  When you make it a habit, you know your records are accurate, up-to-date, and ready to help you serve your customers better.

Take Your Help Desk to the Next Level Get your eBook >>

2. Keep Customers in the Loop

Your customers don’t want to be left in the dark when it comes to the status of their requests. Take advantage of Closed Loop to make sure you maintain an open line of communication at all times. Provide regular progress and status updates, and your customers will feel invested in the work you’re doing on their behalf.

3. All Roads Lead to Rome

Rome’s ancient road systems are still considered a marvel of engineering. Like spokes of a wheel, every road led to Rome. Your service boards are the spokes that lead to the center of your organization. When your help desk is set up for efficiency, everything ends up as a service ticket on your service boards, which triggers the workflows that ensure the right next steps happen quickly. Remember all those tickets we talked about in the first rule? Here’s where that process pays off.

4. My Life is My Service Boards

Now you’ve set up your tickets, established open communication about progress, and routed everything to your service boards. It’s time to make sure those boards are properly managed, and that you’re living by them.

Rely on dispatchers to fill your engineers’ calendars with necessary tasks and activities. By planning ahead and managing their time efficiently, you’ll get a better ROI from your help desk by producing stellar results in less time. No one wastes time wondering what to do next.

5. All Time, All of the Time, On Time

Every time an employee works on a ticket, the time should be entered right away, every time. Getting your help desk staff into the habit of constantly tracking their time as they use it means more accurate time tracking, more billable hours, and a better sense of how time is spent. With hyper-accurate time tracking, you’ll spot inefficiencies faster.

Streamlining your help desk guarantees consistent service levels, calms the chaos of a busy support center, and helps you establish the processes you need to take your business to the next level. Get more from your help desk today.

Product Description

After long day at the Slate Rock and Gravel Company, Fred usually comes home and puts his feet up on his baby woolly mammoth, I mean ottoman, and relaxes before heading out to the bowling alley. That is, if his pet, Dino, doesn't knock him over with excitement of seeing him!

Like yourself, Fred was a family man! They would jump into their wood and stone cars and "run" to where they were going. Yabba dabba do, here comes the Flintstones! Go dressed in this orange with black spots coat, the blue necktie, matching orange cuffs, Fred's hairdo black wig and the big feet shoe covers. Just yell, "Wiiilllmmmaaaa" at the top of your lungs and everyone will know who you are representing! Have your date go as Wilma and you can "run" everywhere together!

Topic: R2 rag- suggestions? (or: why not to go rooting around in the bargain bin...)  (Read 1289 times)

« on: February 11, 2007 08:01:36 AM »

Can anybody suggest a suitable pattern for this yarn? I bought it in the sale in my favourite department store ages ago, but haven't found a use for it and it's sat in my stash bag making faces at me.

I have 4 x 50g of R2 rag yarn (basically cotton jersey cut into a long strip; each ball is 27yards (25m) long so I have 108yds (100m)). It looks like it'd knit at a chunky weight. I was thinking of making a case for my camera, but thought that might mean there would be some of the blighter left to mock me.

I was also wondering about making a bag of some sort, but was unsure as to how far 100m of chunky would get me (and nothing else in the stash would really go with it).

Please let me know if you've got any ideas- I don't want to be beaten by 200g of misfit cotton! Huh

When I have a 2 skeins yarn that I like and want to make a bag but am unsure of how big it could be I start out making one handle about 1" thick and 12" long (Cast on, a few rows and bind off) out of the start of each skein.

Then I use a stitch I call "knit for life" (not sure if that is the right name) in which I start with 3 stitches and increase one stitch at the end of every row. I use one skein for each side of the bag and then stitch them all together.

If I have 3 skeins I use one for the front, one for the back and the third to make handles and gusset.

Go for the camera case, and make a scrubby dishcloth out of the rest. Either that or just make multiple dishcloths, but don't worry about what to do with the leftovers!

Maybe a nice squishy rug to stand on while doing dishes?  Or for near the shower?

I just got a HUGE (over a hundred balls) of this stuff that im completely perplexed on.....  i also got a few of the single patterns and the magazine. all of which are hideous, but if you wanted id be happy to do a little trade with you..

Look what youve done to me now, youve made me perfect

Washcloths and a bath mat are a good idea, but obviously you don't have enough for both. You could do a cute mini chunky tote-like purse. Just do a square for the front and back in plain garter st, a 1 to 2 inch gusset/bottom, handles, and sew it all together.

Or you could use smaller needles than necessary to make a tight gauge and make little square or circular containers for things like paper clips, cotton swabs, keys, jewelry, All those little things that get lost so easily. The tighter gauge will help them stand up on their own. If you crochet, you could do the same thing with a small hook.

I like to do personal swaps now and again.

I knit, crochet, and make stitch markers.

Just pm me if you wanna swap. Smiley

maybe a little clutch? here is how i make them:) co, knit few rows, then make a really large buttonhole for handles (like on this bag). then knit in whatever stitch you want untill you have just a little bit left. then make another large buttonhole, and knit few more rows, bo, and sew sides. you won't have any leftovers:)

Candy doesn't have to have a point. That's why it's candy.
Will knit for PJ pants:) PM me:)

Thank you for all your suggestions. I ended up giving it to my mum (chunky novelty stuff is far more her style than mine!) and she's knitting a bag with it (her current plan is to knit a rectangle, then add some bought handles to it). I don't know why I didn't think of that. Anyway, I've learned my lesson. Actually, no I haven't. But never mind.  Wink

Saving the forest - two by two

NOAH'S TREES Written and illustrated by Bijou Le Tord HarperCollins, unpaged, $15.95 Ages 4-6

Noah's Ark" is a Bible story that has been told and retold for centuries, even millenniums. In "Noah's Trees," Bijou Le Tord departs from a strict retelling, but in doing so she captures a great tenderness between God and Noah. Here, Noah plants saplings and lovingly cares for his trees. He plans to give the forests to his three sons, but God has another idea.

He calls on Noah to use the trees to build an ark. Noah obeys, felling all his favorite trees to build the boat that will float his family and animals to safety. Once the ark is complete, Noah carries on board a most important item: a small box of seedlings "from the trees he loved the most." The simple story and its bold, beautiful artwork may well make this a favorite book. And ideally, this fictional version will provide adults an opportunity to discuss the biblical account of Noah with youngsters.
