Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy, and expensive and you probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

What a great range

I have wanted an induction range for so long and Im so happy with this one I boiled water last night in under 3 minutes It heats immediately and cooks evenly. I made a pot of chili yesterday and kept it on 1 dot for 3 hours and it didnt burn on the bottom. I use All-Clad pots and pans and also purchased 10 and 12 non-stick fry pans in All-Clad that work great on it too. Couldnt be happier

Induction Range Replacement

This range replaces my Electrolux induction range. It has many features over the old range and the induction burners seem better faster than the old range. The controls are nicer and easier to keep clean. The oven heats slower but the heat distribution seems more even. The only feature that I miss is that the oven doesnt have a proof setting for bread dough.

Range top is awful

I bought this range a year ago and I have hated every minute that I have had it. Im a single woman who is very clean I dont cook everyday but when I do I think Im neat. This range top is impossible to keep clean every drop or spill takes hours to scrub off if it will scrub off. Even water that has boiled over leaves a build up that only a scrub pad and elbow grease will remove. I would never recommend this range top to anyone. I range I had previously was a smooth top but it had texture and was very easy to clean.

No, I do not recommend this product

Fishing Creek WMA - Waterfowl Impoundment

Purpose: To enhance 50 acres of waterfowl habitat on Fishing Creek WMA through construction of a dike with water control structures across Morris Creek, a tributary of Lake Thurmond. Water levels within the impoundment will be manipulated during spring and summer to encourage growth of moist-soil vegetation. Exposed mudflats will be planted with Japanese millet and flooded in early fall to provide waterfowl habitat. In addition, wood duck nest boxes were erected for use by resident breeding birds. Migratory waterfowl, wading birds, and furbearers will use the area throughout the year. This project will be managed by the Georgia Dept. of Natural Resources to provide brood rearing habitat for resident wood ducks, as well as, increased foraging habitat for migrating and wintering dabbling ducks. Fishing Creek WMA offers limited public waterfowl hunting opportunities.

Location: Approx. 12 miles northeast of Washington, GA (Wilkes County)

Acres Impacted: 50 acres

Habitat Type: Moist-soil Habitat
Scrub/shrub Emergent Wetlands

Partners: Georgia Department of Natural Resources
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Ducks Unlimited, Inc

Timeline: Initial construction was completed in 1991

Advanced Metering Infrastructure - Installation Project

The City of Durango has partnered with Zenner USA and Vanguard Utility Service to install new Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) throughout the City of Durango.

Starting in November 2018, Vanguard Utility Service will have trained technicians installing new water meters and associated radios throughout the City. This upgrade is required to ensure continued accuracy and life of the water meters within Durango. It will also improve operational efficiency, allow for leak detection, and improve the City's ability to provide customer service within our system. This meter change out is necessary and mandatory, and will require the cooperation of all the City's water customers.

Making An Appointment

Vanguard Utility Service will be mailing out post cards to customers requesting that appointments be made within a particular time-frame. Once you receive a postcard, please call or use the online form to make an appointment. To prepare for scheduling, please be ready to identify where your water meter is located (indoors in a crawl space or utility closet or outdoors in a meter pit).

Schedule Appointments by
Phone: 970-927-2500

We appreciate your cooperation in this effort to improve the City's water infrastructure.

Informational Letter

Frequently Asked Questions (PDF)

What is Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)?

  • An AMI system refers to a system of both hardware and software for measurement and collection of data. The system starts with a meter which measures use and transfers that data through a radio in regular intervals. The system allows for centralized data collection but continues to allow for mobile (vehicle) or hand (walk by) readings. This allows for more frequent collection of data and data analysis, and is a two-way system that can be updated centrally or at the location of the meter.

Why is the City of Durango installing AMI?

  • Durango has utilized various metering and meter reading systems in the past, and the current system has come to the end of its useful life. This re-investment in metering and advanced reading systems will allow the City to increase accuracy, reduce the workload demand, increase frequency of meter reading, allow for leak and theft detection, evaluate outages, and improve overall system management.

What are the benefits for a resident?

  • The system allows for early detection of meter failure, improved billing accuracy, enhanced billing capacities, additional consumption detail, and leak/theft detection. All these items allow for more proactive maintenance and outreach to reduce waste and potential damage because of plumbing issues.

Who will install the meters?

  • The City has contracted with Zenner USA and Vanguard Utility Services to complete this project. Vanguard will be managing the installation process in conjunction with City Staff. All Vanguard or City of Durango representatives will have proper photo identification displayed on their outer garment.

"a potpourri of pumping rock music, rollicking rumbles, dazzling light schemes, and potent performances"

"The lighting, a mix of reds and blues, and red flashes during fight scenes, was expertly built by Lighting Designer E-hui Woo."

- William Powell

This minimalist set lends a Shakespearean feel to the production and credit goes to Nathaniel Sharer for making this work. Lighting Design is done by E-hui Woo and the lights create much of the mood of the play. The period costumes were designed by Jeanette Christiensen, and they worked well in helping create the characters – from the brocades of King Philip to the gauzy nightgowns of Alais.

The play makes us realize that sibling rivalry, plays for power, broken marriages, duplicity in diplomacy, and parental shortcomings were as much a part of the human condition then as they remain today.

Roar on down to The Highwood Theatre to see 4615 Theatre Company’s powerful and well acted take on this modern classic.

- Susan Brall
Thereafter: war, fistfights, swordfights, plotting, treason, murder, more plotting, shifting alliances — all of which 4615 does with verve and aplomb in the Highland Theatre’s tiny space

Internet Explorer VS FireFox

Internet Explorer vs Firefox - The Browser Battle

I just started browsing through some cool sites and blogs i was looking for WordPress plugins to add to this blog to make it more enjoyable, I’ve added some which i saw were cool enough – But while i was browsing through all those sites, i came up to a site where there was a big discussion regarding Microsoft Internet Explorer vs Mozilla Firefox the person who started the discussion was actually offering a plugin for WordPress which was some way related to Firefox to claim that it isn’t good enough!

Well, i think everyone has the right to choose what they like or don’t like, so i took the time to read through all the comments that were posted, at the end i found that many are going for Mozilla Firefox, Its fact that Mozilla Firefox guideline/rule follows Web Standards, rather than ignoring the standards.

Microsoft’s Internet Explorer is one of the most popular and widely used browser, it has also been said that Internet Explorer is also the biggest in the browser market! – But one reason why its being mostly used all over the world is that it comes bundled with your Windows Installation so almost all newbies use them without knowing the issues and security holes it has, but some other people like me who are aware of the internet troubles and know that Internet Explorer won’t be doing a great job to do everything i want, I go search for better & reliable alternatives.

Well, on the other hand Firefox is the new under-dog who has been receiving alot of praise lately. i don’t frequently use Mozilla Firefox, the reason for that is that i don’t feel comfortable while browsing on it, Firefox is extremely great and recommended for web development, Firefox won’t let you make any mistakes even if you want to  🙂

I have noticed that certain programming glitches are caused by incorrectly coding the script, once about a week ago i was working on a client’s project which was seeming to have lots of glitches in Internet Explorer!

Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox Renders the page differently in different web standards – Mozilla Firefox follows the real web standards while Internet Explorer doesn’t, making the people code incorrect codes.

Well, i have much hopes for the New Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, Since its going to be fixing massive bugs on it including some fixes that makes the browser display these glitches. Internet Explorer 7 is still in the beta stages so not completely developed, lets just hope that Microsoft brings some good quality to it.

"Unique Immigrants" in American English
America can usually be compared to a melting pot, where the fusions of different peoples and cultures are ongoing in every field and every corner. Therefore, American English, without exception, owns its own fused "immigrants".

In its vocabulary, we can always find many borrowed derivations from French, German, Latin and Spanish as well as a lot of loanwords like "zebra" from Kongo, "sarong" from Malay and "tatami" from Japanese. Furthermore, Chinese language takes a unique and important part in the loanword group as well as in the whole vocabulary.

With China's expanding influence to the world and Chinese people's growing enthusiasm of learning the foreign language, more and more English words derived from Chinese pinyin rapidly invade the American English vocabulary. Besides, some Chinglish phrases and sentences, though translated literally against grammar rules, have even been listed into official dictionaries.

Now a collection of such words and phrases are to be listed as follows:

1. Confucius 孔子

"Confucius" comes from the transliteration of the Chinese term "孔夫子" (Kong Fuzi), an honorific title conferred upon a great Chinese philosopher called Kong Qiu. As a man of virtue, true knowledge and great personality, Confucius has been setting virtues and maxims during his lifetime. And his precious words were included in Lun Yu ("Analects of Confucius") for future generations and formed China's orthodox thoughts – Co'nfucianism.

Early in the 18th century, Voltaire in France once said that European businessmen have only seen wealth in the orient, but the philosopher have found a new spiritual world. And Mr. Kong, of course, stands in heart of this world. Moreover, it's said that Morgue, a scholar in Hamburg, found an English version of "Analects of Confucius" published in 1961, which shows that Confucianism spread to the West at least 300 years ago. And the phrase "Confucius says" went around the mouths of western people in 1960s, when a tide of orient culture was rising up.

2. kung fu 功夫

"Kung fu" comes from the transliteration of the Chinese term "功夫" (Gong Fu). Literally translated as "skill from effort", it actually refers to Chinese martial arts and is considered as a typical part of Chinese culture.

Nowadays, its influences have extended to the movies that target a much wider audience. There are many Kung fu movies made by Chinese directors, such as "Hero", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "House of Flying Daggers", which have always been warmly welcomed in western countries. Meanwhile, Chinese Kung fu (action-film) stars, ranged from Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Jet Li to Zhen Zidan, have successively catapulted to celebrity status in Hollywood. Even recently, the hottest cartoon- "Kung fu Panda" directed by Americans - has provided a good display platform for Kung fu.

We can see that Chinese Kung fu has spread beyond its ethnic roots and have a global appeal. As a result, the phrase "Kung fu" naturally emerges in the Americans' daily vocabulary.

3. Mahjong 麻将

Mahjong is transliterated from the Chinese term "麻将" (Ma Jiang). It's a type of traditional tile-matching game played by four people, involving skill, strategy, calculation and a certain degree of luck.

Qian Zhongshu, a celebrated Chinese scholar has referred mahjong as China's "national skill"; Liang Qichao even said that playing mahjong is better than reading; and most people believe mahjong can be found wherever there are Chinese. As is seen, mahjong culture has been deeply ingrained in the Chinese community.

Besides, it appears that mahjong, with its unique cultural characteristics, has received a worldwide popularity today. There happened to be a case for certification: Hu Shi found that mahjong had already settled down in American families on his first visit there and he was no more proud to see that almost every clubs had set the game.

Accordingly, the term "mahjong" was most probably introduced to meet the widespread needs in the United States.

4. Long time no see! 好久不见!

Although there aren’t loanwords in this sentence, it’s a saying translated literally against English grammar rules. Actually, it was what we call Chinglish and has become authentic English saying. Thus it can be seen, our extensive and profound Chinese culture has infiltrated into the American English.

Certainly, there still exist many other English words, which are of Chinese origin and rich in particular cultural connotation.

How to Use the Habitat Development Curve

Habitat Development Curves (HDCs) are used to determine the developmental status and trajectory of on-the-ground projects to create, restore, or enhance California wetland and stream habitats. Each HDC is based on assessments of habitat condition for different age areas of one habitat type that in aggregate represent the full spectrum of habitat development. The assessments of condition are provided by expert applications of the California Rapid Assessment Method (CRAM). Visit the CRAM website for more information about CRAM.

For each HDC, reference condition is represented by areas of a habitat that consistently get very high CRAM scores, have not been subject to disruptive management practices, and exist within landscapes that are protected and managed for their natural conditions. The horizontal lines intersecting the top of an HDC represent the mean CRAM score and standard deviation of scores for 25 qualifying reference areas.

The age of a project is estimated as the elapsed time in years between the groundwork end date for the project and the date of the CRAM assessment. To add or update a groundwork end date, use the Project Events form in Project Tracker (ptrack.ecoatlas.org). The minimum age in years of a non-project area, including any natural reference area, is estimated from all available local information, including historical maps and imagery, historical written accounts, and place-specific scientific studies of habitat development.

An HDC can be used to address the following questions:

  1. At what time in the future will the area of assessed habitat achieve the reference condition or other milestones in habitat development? The HDC can answer this question if the CRAM score for the assessed area is within the confidence interval of the HDC. The answer is the time in years along the HDC between the current age of the assessed area and the future date corresponding to the intersection of the HDC and the reference condition or other milestone.
  2. Is the area of assessed habitat likely to develop faster, slower, or at the same pace as most other areas of the same habitat type? The habitat area is likely to develop faster, slower, or at the same pace if the CRAM score for the area is above, below, or within the confidence interval of the HDC, respectively.
  3. What can be done to improve the condition of the habitat area or to increase its rate of development? HDCs by themselves cannot answer this question. Possible answers can be inferred by the following analysis that involves HDCs:
    1. Examine the HDC for each of the four CRAM Attributes;
    2. Identify the Attribute(s) scoring below the HDC;
    3. For any low-scoring Attribute, examine the component Metric Scores (note: the Metric Scores for any public CRAM assessment in the CRAM database can be obtained through EcoAtlas);
    4. Assume the low score of an Attribute is due to its low-scoring Metric(s);
    5. Consider modifying the design or management of the habitat area in ways that will sustainably increase its score(s) for the low-scoring Metric(s).

For more information about CRAM Attributes and Metrics, including their scientific rationale, see the CRAM Manual.

    When you speak to Eddie Moore you find an ocean of calm, and when you listen to Eddie Moore  you find the depth of that ocean. Eddie reaches from the soul with every note, in a deep way, with a tension just below the surface. His yearning for exploration and curiosity in music contribute to an ebb and flow freedom of expression.

    Jazz runs deep in pianist and bandleader Eddie Moore's veins. Raised in Houston Texas, he began his musical journey at Texas Southern University where he later earned a Bachelors in Arts and immersed himself in the Houston music scene.  As a lifelong musician traversing a number of bands and styles  he relocated to Kansas City to study under Bobby Watson  at the University of Missouri-Kansas City where he received a M.A in Jazz Studies.

After forming Jazz/Fusion group Eddie Moore & The Outer Circle in 2012, diversity and inclusiveness have become to define Moore as an artist. His debut album,"The Freedom of Expression", was given 3.5 stars from Downbeat jazz magazine who has stated  "Moore's compositions exude a sophisticated soulful elegance that create a tastefully fulfilling venture into a range of dynamic pieces, with the musicianship to match.”

Moore’s third album as a leader "Kings & Queens"  incorporates elements of soul, r&b, rock and hip-hop into his take on contemporary jazz. Released with  Ropeadope Records, Moore’s forward-thinking sounds are part of the rich continuum of African-American music that continues to be imbued with indigenous African elements. The Outer Circle’s remarkable sensitivity and cohesive interplay reflect an unflinching groove. Featured in Jazziz Magazine, The Jazz Ambassadors Magazine, Nextbop, and The Pitch KC which describe the album as "Pulling the Kansas City Jazz scene into the 21st century" - Bill Brownlee

  Moore is also recipient of the 2016 Charlotte Street Generative Performance Award for his genre bending collaborations. 2017’s Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art “Artist in Residence” in collaboration with Rashid Johnson. In 2018 his work with The Outer Cirlce was nominated for ans Indie Music Award for "007".

Moore’s  expansive sensibilities have allowed him to perform and record with distinctive artist such as Bobby Watson, Pam, Watson, Logan Richardson, Maurice Brown, Boys II Men, Brian Blade and the Fellowship, John Baptiste, Krystal Warren, Matt Otto, Brandon Draper, Andre Hayward, Tivon Pennicott, IamNobodi, Various Blonde,  Dominique Sanders, 77 Jefferson, Erykah Badu, Mos Def, and the Marcus Lewis Big Band.

  While maintaining a busy tour schedule Moore resides in Kansas City where he is an integral part of the music community creating opportunities for up and coming jazz artist. He is a member of the African America Arts Collective; and stays busy teaching several aspects of music through University of Kansas, Metropolitan Community College, Future Jazz, Midwest Jazz Camp, and privately at The Culture House.

LGBTQ Pioneers Descend on DC to Reintroduce Equality Act

Friday Mar 15, 2019
LGBTQ elders from SAGE's New York City SAGE Centers in Washington, D.C.
LGBTQ elders from SAGE's New York City SAGE Centers in Washington, D.C.   (Source:SAGE)

Senator Jeff Merkley of Oregon, Representative David Cicilline of Rhode Island, and other pro-LGBTQ leaders in Congress announced the reintroduction of the Equality Act, a critically important piece of federal legislation that would add sexual orientation and gender identity to existing civil rights laws and strengthen protections for LGBTQ people, including women, religious minorities, and people of color.

The legislation explicitly recognizes the discrimination that LGBTQ older people face when seeking housing and accessing spaces like senior centers. The bill also acknowledges the higher rates of poverty found among LGBTQ older people.

The Equality Act would provide consistent and explicit protections from discrimination for LGBTQ people in employment, housing, credit, education, public spaces, and services; federally funded programs; and jury service. It also adds protections on the basis of sex in public accommodations and expands the list of protected places of public accommodations. This list includes retail stores, transportation services like airports, taxis, and bus stations, and service providers.

Previously, protected characteristics included race, color, national origin, religion. Adding sexual orientation and gender identity means that spaces LGBTQ elders access, including those that provide goods, services, or programs—such as service or care centers—will now be covered under an expanded list of public accommodations. For the first time, federal law will provide explicit protections for LGBTQ older people in accessing federally funded services and supports.

"The time is now to pass the Equality Act, to once and for all provide federal protections for millions of LGBT people across the country who are still battling discrimination and fighting for their right to be treated equally," said SAGE CEO Michael Adams.

"The fact is, nearly two-thirds of LGBT people across the country have experienced discrimination. For LGBT elders, the problem is made far worse as a result of a lifetime of social stigma and prejudice, particularly in areas like housing," continued Adams. "Nearly half of same-sex couples report experiencing discrimination when looking for a home. We urge Congress to pass the Equality Act to ensure that millions of LGBT people no longer have to live in fear of being denied a job, a place to live, or access to health care simply because of who they are or whom they love."

The Equality Act was introduced simultaneously with SAGE's first-ever National Day of Advocacy in Washington, D.C., bringing together LGBT trailblazers, older people living with HIV, and allies from across the country to meet face-to-face with their elected officials. SAGE's National Day of Advocacy was held in conjunction with the annual leadership conference for SAGE's 30 affiliates, hailing from 20 states and Puerto Rico.

Fidelity Asian Values

£302.8m market cap

427p last close

Fidelity Asian Values aims to generate long-term capital growth principally from the stock markets in the Asia Pacific ex-Japan region. It is benchmarked against the MSCI All Countries Asia ex-Japan index.

Investment summary

Fidelity Asian Values (FAS) significantly outperformed its benchmark in the 2018 market sell-off, helped by its focus on capital preservation as well as growth. Manager Nitin Bajaj says that recent stock market volatility has enabled him to purchase market-leading businesses at very attractive prices, as valuation multiples have compressed while corporate earnings have remained robust. Bajaj notes that FAS’s portfolio is currently trading on a relatively low aggregate P/E multiple and is generating a relatively high return on equity. The trust has a long-term record of outperformance versus the MSCI AC Asia ex-Japan index. Its share price is ahead over one, three, five and 10 years, while its NAV has outperformed over one, five and 10 years.

House Passes DC Scholarship Renewal, Senate Up Next

GOP House members drove the passage of a bill to continue the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program, which is the sole federally funded, private school voucher program for students K-12, until 2021.

The Washington Post’s Lyndsey Layton writes the House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) was the author of the bill that would mandate some students with vouchers to take the same standardized tests in math and reading that are given to public school pupils in the District.

The bill passed with 240 Republicans voting for it, eight Republicans voting against it, and two Democrats voting “aye.” It will open the program to students from low-income families already in private schools and will require accreditation for participating private schools within six years.

“While it’s my name on the bill, the best champions for this program are some of the most fearless kids you’ve ever seen,” Boehner said, choking up on the House floor. “Those of us who work here, make a good living — we owe something to the kids in this town. Help these kids get over the mountain.”

The Obama administration and House Democrats are against the bill, along with the majority of the D.C. Council, which has pushed Congress to put federal monies into public schools rather than private schools.

1,442 students used vouchers during the 2014-2015 school year to attend 47 private schools in D.C., and 80% of these schools were had a religious affiliation. The bill allows for $60 million to be spent each year for the voucher program, public charter schools, and traditional public schools, in even parts.

Congressional Republicans developed the D.C. voucher program to exemplify the possibilities of school choice. The White House argues that current voucher holders should be permitted to finish their education, but no new vouchers should be made available.

Those who support the program point out that 90% of voucher students graduate from high school and 88% of the Class of 2015 enrolled in some variety of higher education. Parents have expressed satisfaction with the program.

Still, there is little data to show that the program results in significant academic gains for students.

Boehner is a former House Education Committee member and co-author of the No Child Left Behind legislation. He created the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program in 2003 with District public officials. In 2011, the initiative was renewed in spite of White House opposition.

The House Speaker is a Catholic who has invited students from D.C.’s Catholic schools to be present in the audience for the State of the Union address each year, writes Christina Marcos of The Hill.

Because of Democratic opposition to the bill, chances for it passing in the Senate are slim. D.C.’s non-voting representative Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D) suggested an amendment to limit schools from having more than 50% enrollment of voucher students, which failed on a voice vote.

At this point, writes Maggie Severns of Politico, the best chance for voucher proponents is to “tuck the program into a larger, must-pass law — and there are plenty of those in the congressional pipeline, including bills to increase the debt limit and keep the government funded past Dec. 11.”

This may be the last hurrah for the outgoing Speaker, and the bill is very near and dear to his heart. There is no doubt he would like to see the legislation passed.

At this time in the District, just 25% of learners go to neighborhood schools. Most attend public charter schools or traditional public schools that they access through a citywide lottery.

Ethiopia PM in Uganda for Heroes' Day, to visit Egypt thereafter

Posted by On 8:52 AM

Ethiopia PM in Uganda for Heroes' Day, to visit Egypt thereafter

Ethiopiaâ€™s prime minister, Abiy Ahmed has started a two day state visit to Uganda, from where he will had to Egypt for talks that will include the Nile Basin dynamics, regional security and trade.

Abiy, who was received by president Yoweri Museveni, will preside over Ugandaâ€™s National Heroesâ€™ Day celebrations on Saturday. The government of Uganda earlier this week announced that he will be honored with the Most Excellent Order of the Pearl of Africa â€" The Grand Master medal, the hi ghest honor for a head of state.

Authorities in Uganda said bilateral trade between the two countries stands at $1 million, and the two leaders will be seeking ways to enhance bilateral cooperation frameworks.

Abiy to visit â€˜dam-waryâ€™ Egypt

Abiy will then head to Cairo where he is expected to meet president Abdel Fatah el Sisi, and the two leaders will discuss the controversial Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam that has caused concern in Egypt.

Abiyâ€™s two legged visit out of Ethiopia comes in the wake of a week of drastic reforms including the lifting of the state of emergency, announcements that Ethiopia will partially liberalise the economy and acceptance of the 2000 Algiers Agreement that potentially ends conflict with Eritrea.

On Thursday, the 41 year old former intelligence office also made some key personnel changes in the countryâ€™s security sector, appointing a new army chief of staff and replacing the director of national intelligence and security services.

How to Create Complementary Harmony When Painting Interiors

Color Wheel
Color Wheel

Your daughter has married and relocated across country. She no longer lays claim to her bedroom that has remained untouched since she graduated from high school eight years ago. You decide to revamp the bedroom and use it as your guest room. You’ve painted the walls teal but are stumped when it comes to picking the right colors for accessories and accents. Consider using complementary colors.

Video of the Day

Realize that teal, or blue-green, is a tertiary color, which means it’s comprised of equal mixes of a primary color (blue) plus its closest secondary color (blue-green). Look at a color wheel, which can be purchased in most home improvement stores.

Learn that the complementary color for teal (blue-green) is red-orange, also a secondary color.

Consider if two such bold colors as teal and red-orange would be overwhelming. If so, use very little of the red-orange. Put a splash here, in a flower arrangement, and a splash there, a throw pillow, but leave it at that.

Decide what colors with which you’re most comfortable. If the bold contrast of red-orange and teal doesn’t appeal to you, stick with harmonious colors, which would be the colors that lie to the right and to the left of blue-green on the color wheel, such as grass green, royal blue or even yellow-green or blue-violet.

Crank it down a notch by using variations of red-orange which include a salmon-colored “tint” (the result of red-orange mixed with white) or a “tone” of the red-orange, which is a taupe color and achieved through adding gray to the red-orange, or a darker, less bright “shade” of red-orange, almost a rust color, which is achieved by adding black to the red-orange. These colors can all be used as complements to your teal guest room and are much more subtle than the startling red-orange color.

Think about adding some white to the teal paint that was used on the walls. The result will be a restrained and less vibrant shade of blue-green, which can be used with all of the above colors as an accent color. Paint a chair or picture frame using this cool, soothing shade.

Consider adding some black to the teal paint. This will give you a deeper shade of blue-green and would be ideal color for accent pieces.

Toss in some white or other neutral colors. White curtains can look great against a teal wall. White or ivory woodwork also create a nice contrast.

Tips & Warnings

  • Buy a color wheel. Learning about colors is fun and interesting. You might discover that colors that you never dreamt of combining look great together.

How to Make a Northwest Indian Button Blanket

Button blankets are traditionally used by Native Americans from the northwest United States, specifically Alaska. These blankets are usually made of wool in two colors, with one color being the background and the other used for the design. Shiny buttons, usually abalone shell, are sewn onto the outline of the design and used as eyes for animal and human figures. Popular figures include salmon, turtles, eagles, whales and stylized human warriors. Button blankets are mainly worn by dancers at Native American celebrations and ceremonies. The shiny pieces of shell catch the light of the sun or fire as the dancers move, adding to the visual interest of the dance.

Things You'll Need

  • Wool or thick fleece
  • Chalk or chalk pencil
  • Scissors
  • Pins
  • Needle and thread
  • 300 to 500 abalone shell buttons

Video of the Day

Choose one color of cloth to be the background and one for the design. You will need three 5-by-5-foot squares of wool or thick fleece in two or three colors. On the cloth for the design, use chalk to sketch several stylized animals or human figures.

Cut out the design and pin it onto the background cloth. Push each pin down through both layers of cloth, then upward through both layers so the head and point of each pin is visible.

Thread the needle and sitch the design to the background.

Sew the abalone buttons to the edges of the design. Space them close together, so that they are almost touching. Sew abalone shells where the figures’ eyes would be.

Flip the whole blanket over so the underside of the background fabric is showing. Pin the third square of fabric to the background fabric and stitch the two together around the edges.

Tips & Warnings

  • Always grip the body of the needle when pushing it through the fabric; never push down on the end. Push slowly and firmly on stubborn areas to avoid slippage and injury.

Anti-Inflammatory Injections as Treatment for Hip Pain in Jacksonville

Posted by Daniel Lawrence on April, 2016

For many patients, Hip Pain in Jacksonville can be substantially relieved through a procedure known as a fluoroscopic guided hip injection. The treatment is helpful for people dealing with osteoarthritis in the hip. A doctor at a clinic such as Riverside Pain Physicians uses specialized equipment to inject an anesthetic and a time-released anti-inflammatory medication into a precise area. The anesthetic provides temporary pain relief and the anti-inflammatory medicine provides a longer-term reduction in pain. Corticosteroids are the usual line of attack in the use of injections to stop arthritis-related hip pain.

Fluoroscopy is a live X-ray process that allows the doctor to place the needle exactly where it should go. This provides the most effective pain relief and also prevents injuring any nerves in this part of the body. The doctor first must inject a special dye that is highlighted in the fluoroscopic image. Patients should understand that doctors first numb the area before these injections are performed so that discomfort should be mild or nonexistent. The doctor may provide a mild sedative through an intravenous line if this seems advisable to relax the patient and prevent anxiety.

This is an outpatient treatment; patients are typically instructed not to drive or do any strenuous exercise on the day they receive the injection. They can return to their normal activities the next day if they feel well enough. Some patients experience a temporary increase in pain until the corticosteroid becomes fully effective.

For osteoarthritis hip pain in Jacksonville, this therapy is beneficial for many patients, but they must understand that it will not cure the underlying problem. The doctor may provide the injection again in the future, but the patient may eventually need hip surgery if the problem is severe enough. Since most people would prefer to avoid surgery if possible, the fluoroscopic guided injection is well worth a try. Many individuals are very satisfied with the results, even though the results will not last forever.

If a hip fracture occurs, an operation is normally required. With medical and technological advances, hip surgery has been improved a great deal over the years, and patients can look forward to being more mobile and free of Hip Pain afterward.

Aerobathon aerobics marathon

one of the aerobics instructors Pn. Che Aishah, backed by three assistants

When I was first told of Aerobathon PUSPANITA Perak 2011, an aerobics marathon where participants had to exercise for two straight hours, I thought they are out of their mind. Well, just because I don’t have the endurance, doesn’t mean that others do not as well.

Aerobathon aerobics marathon

participants in Category A

There was no reason for me to worry as the 200 participants, not only from Perak but also from Kelantan, Penang and Kedah, exercised for longer than the required two hours! What surprised me further was that two of the participants are 65 years old! Salute!

Aerobathon aerobics marathon

participants in Category B

Participants were grouped into three age categories: Category A from 20 to 35 years old, Category B from 36 to 45 years old and Category C from 46 years old and above. They were not separated according to gender, oddly.

Anyway, aerobics marathon isn’t something new but this one was organised for the first time by the social bureau of PUSPANITA Perak, headed by the wife of Ipoh City Mayor, YB Datin Hajjah Zainab bt. Mohd. Zainal Abidin.

Securing every drop

A clean, reliable and safe water supply is critical to health and well-being. Each day the UK water industry collects, treats and then supplies many billions of litres of high quality water to domestic and commercial customers and then collects and treats billions of litres of the resulting wastewaters, returning it safely to the environment. Chris Edwards, Account Development Manager at Siemens Building Technologies, explains why working collaboratively with the water industry to harness a joined-up safety and security strategy is vital,to both protect against and mitigate disruption to supply.

Risk management strategies

The adoption of protective measures that encompass physical, personnel and cyber security is key to safeguarding water authorities against security threats. These should support the wider objectives of SEMD and in doing so, mitigate the likely or actual disruption to the water supply arising from any civil emergency or national security event. A full risk assessment must be undertaken across individual locations to uncover potential vulnerabilities, understand the impact of intrusion or attack, and identify the optimum security response.

The first stage of the planning process requires a detailed risk analysis to determine the potential security threats to the site periphery. There are multiple possibilities including targeted criminal acts, sabotage, attack, hostage taking, espionage, intrusion and burglary. The level of expected damage and the likelihood of occurrence determine the risk potential, which can then be used to establish security objectives and vulnerability. Importantly, before considering the final security concept, the area to be protected needs to be precisely defined.

It is vital that the procedures, measures and investments put in place are appropriate and proportionate for that specific situation. Even within the same water authority, the needs of different locations will vary considerably; therefore priority must be given to ensuring the security measures taken are relevant to the threat, rather than a universal approach.

Technological convergence

The key drivers for an electronic security system are to deter, detect and deny unauthorised intrusion, and to communicate these events and provide effective control of any security or hazardous incident:

  1. Deter unauthorised intrusion by showing visible and effective security measures
  2. Detect activity across multiple site locations through advanced technology
  3. Deny intruder attempts to defeat or bypass security measures

Appropriate protection for water authorities operating in harsh and often remote environments involves implementing layers of security. Creating intelligence at the perimeter plays a major role in enabling proper control and situational awareness of the entire site. When this intelligence is integrated with other security technologies such as CCTV for instant visual verification of perimeter breaches and access control to restrict entry at gates, barriers and turnstiles, organisations are able to accelerate their response to critical events and manage risk before it escalates to a more serious incident.

It can be difficult and expensive to secure full protection of an extensive perimeter; furthermore the requirement for duct networks, power supplies and cabling can make the prospect cost-prohibitive. To mitigate this challenge, perimeter security concepts are being developed for the UK and these include systems that operate on a light source, an important consideration for organisations with carbon-reduction programmes. Solar-powered technologies remove the need to install expensive duct infrastructures, communication cabling and associated civil engineering works.

The integration of multiple security technologies provides centralised situational awareness, improved information and intelligence, effective response to critical events and the proper co-ordination of resources. To achieve a fully protected infrastructure necessitates the installation of robust command and control platforms that improve protection across multiple sites, manage critical situations and enhance procedures. Centralised command and control platforms improve efficiency and enhance security and safety operations, whilst reducing risks. Operators are immediately prompted to take the correct action and the software will automatically set in motion a sequence of pre-agreed activities to ensure the right procedures are adhered to, as well as distributing essential information across multiple agencies.

Incidents can emanate from multiple sources such as system analytics or intruder devices, and an automated workflow or rules engine will prioritise the importance of these and alert operators in a number of ways. Alarm rules will also assist operatives in managing response times, actions and feedback. Exported video can be combined from multiple cameras into one cohesive flow of evidence for analysis and importantly, a full audit of all activity is automatically generated to provide a comprehensive incident report.

Smarter fire protection

Across many water utilities it is common for the fire safety and the security systems to operate independently, requiring end users to procure two separate control systems, with all the additional training and management that two separate workflows require. With modern software platforms, many separate systems can be integrated into the same command and control platform which reduces the operational burden of the building, while offering greater levels of performance from the building when considered as a whole.

Integration of these disparate systems also allows the creation of improved approaches to incident management by extending the cause and effect to include security systems such as CCTV and access control, within the life safety system response. This integrated approach to safety can be extended to include other technologies within the building, such as lighting control, plant handling, and energy management. In the event of fire, a workflow-oriented approach driven by information from multiple devices will maximise protection and manpower resources across the site.

New developments in technology

Mobile technology means that incidents can be viewed and played back on smartphones and tablets so authorised users can access video from any location at any time of the day, enabling security personnel to create and watch video exports on-the-go and take immediate action. An add-on feature is ‘video push’ which allows users to upload live video from a mobile device directly back to the command and control platform; GPS positioningwill automatically locate the ‘pushed’ video, all using secure and encrypted communication protocols.

Modern IP cameras and IP network systems improve the way surveillance video is captured, processed and stored. These devices provide significantly improved image quality and picture resolution, resulting in much greater accuracy and detailed identification. Moreover, they present a wider field of view, providing greater coverage, and offer digital zoom to further enhance the picture. IP cameras offer greater intelligence as they can deliver multiple analytics rules such as people loitering, object removed, idle object, heat mapping and filters for speed, size, direction and colour.

Minimising risk in the area of cyber security comprises both comprehensive security mechanisms and integrating security activities into the whole lifecycle. This means taking security considerations into account during development and engineering as well as service and operations activities. Comprehensive security mechanisms should combine physical and network security, and system and software integrity. Cyber security issues have been the subject of standardisation for some time, and Siemens plays an active role in all major organisations, including supporting the work of ISA-99, IEC 62443, DHS, BSI, WIB NAMUR and CLSI AUTO11-A2 to make sure that common cyber security standards are developed.

Creating a secure and sustainable environment includes the management of an extensive infrastructure, the continued protection of critical assets and the need to act in compliance with OFWAT regulatory controls. It is vital for water authorities to drive a risk management strategy, which should be supported by governance and implemented by the Board and senior management. All employees, contractors and suppliers should have a clear understanding of the risk management regime and be familiar with all related policies, practices and risk boundaries.

TomTom developing iPhone GPS module?

Here's a fresh Apple rumor in the run-up to MacWorld: a TomTom GPS module for the iPhone. We just received this supposed photographic "evidence" of said device from a Dutch tipster. Our take? Might be, might not. TomTom is a Dutch company and a righteous, straight-talkin' Dutchman would never tell such a fib, would he? On the other hand, that device is clearly not in a car heading to Rotterdam. Still, it could be a route demo and that stretch of highway (A13/E19) is a favorite for internal TomTom validation studies. Surely a move towards GPS is a logical next step for Apple -- particularly after that little VW concept. And with Apple on the verge of opening the iPhone to third party developers, well, anything goes, eh?
