May 02, 2007 (The Age – ABIX via COMTEX) — A growing number of Australian companies are promoting themselves as being “carbon neutral”. However, Energetics warns that such claims may be misleading and pointless due to the lack of standards for determining carbon neutrality status. Cheryl Bowler, of the Sydney-based energy consultancy, notes that many companies neglect to consider factors such as the waste they generate, such as office paper and printer toners, as well as the carbon footprint of outsourced services. Meanwhile, companies risk damaging their reputation or alienating shareholders by declaring carbon neutrality but not actually achieving this status

Soda-maker easy, pricey
Saturday, July 31st, 2010Deseret News (Salt Lake City), May 2, 2007 by J.M. Hirsch Associated Press
Do-it-yourself soda for pennies a liter?
That’s the gist of the Soda-Club, a coffee maker-size device that lets you make your own seltzer (carbonated) water, then turn that water into soda by adding the company’s syrups.
The machine has no electric parts and is simple to use. A large carbonating (carbon dioxide) cartridge is inserted into the back of the machine. One-liter bottles of water are screwed onto the front. Press a button and with a whoosh! the water gets bubbly.
The Soda-Club makes phenomenal seltzer water, in part because you control how much carbonation goes into the water. The seltzer water from the Soda-Club also tasted fresher than its bottled equivalent from the grocer.
The company’s soda syrups, however, were revolting. The diet cola was undrinkable; the orange-mango was watery; and the apple-peach tasted of chemicals. The best was the root beer, which is best described as not horrible.
The company suggests adding additional syrup (and making sure the water is sufficiently carbonated) to improve flavor. A better choice would be to substitute Italian syrups (sold in many coffee shops) or juice concentrates.
At $99.99, the Soda-Club isn’t cheap. Replacement cartridges (each produces 110 liters of seltzer water) cost $18.99.
But if you drink a lot of seltzer water, there is real value. Seltzer water runs about 50 cents a liter at most grocers. With the Soda-Club, the first 220 liters cost 45 cents each (the machine’s price includes two cartridges). Thereafter, they cost 17 cents.
If it’s soda you’re after, try adding flavorings of your own

Review / Pittsburgh Tribune – Review – Union Trust owner, California bank reach agreement
Saturday, July 31st, 20100 Comments | Tribune – Review / Pittsburgh Tribune – Review, Sep 4, 2009 | by Sam Spatter
An agreement was reached between a California bank and the owner of the Union Trust Building, Downtown, which will resolve $3.6 million in liens filed against the owners of the 11-story building, officials said Thursday.
“We have notified all the lien holders that they will be paid amounts due them by this weekend and that should allow resumption of building renovations,” said Jack Norris, managing director of CB Richard Ellis.
Norris said documents were signed Wednesday between the building owner, Mika Realty Trust of California, and the mortgage lender, California National Bank of Long Beach, Calif., that will satisfy all 10 mechanic liens.
“The agreement calls for a full construction loan for the building, which will pay for tenant improvements and work on the building,” he said. CB Richard Ellis is marketing the building to office and retail tenants.
The exterior work will not be completed in time for the G-20 summit on Sept. 24 and 25, but will allow First Commonwealth Bank to locate a office on Grant Street, he said.
California National Bank filed a foreclosure lawsuit in May, claiming that Mika Realty was required to pay bills to prevent the filing of liens or give the bank 150 percent of contested amounts. The bank holds a $34.5 million mortgage on the building. Christopher Reeder, an attorney with the Los Angeles law firm Reeder, Lu & Green LLP, which represents Mika Realty, said it owed the bank $25.8 million, with $10 million in dispute.
Norris said yesterday the bank did not fund renovations for nine months, while it sought more equity from Mika “sooner than later.” The dispute has been resolved, but Norris declined to detail the financial arrangements.
The main tenant in the building is Siemens Power Generation, with about 700 employees.

Flood plain maps given approval
Thursday, July 29th, 2010Flood plain maps given approval
0 Comments | Buffalo News, Jul 28, 2010 | by Thad Komorowski
The long-contested federal flood plain maps were approved by the Town Board om Monday night, after the announcement that at least 130 more homes were removed from flood designation areas.
The board voted, 3-1, to adopt the maps as proposed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to cap off a nearly two-year effort to fight the proposal that caused increased flood insurance rates for numerous property owners.
FEMA’s maps changed flood elevation levels and put numerous properties into designated flood plains. Once a property is in the flood area, mortgage companies require the owner to purchase flood insurance, which can cost as much as $1,100 a year.
The board and residents have opposed the maps since they were proposed in September 2008. Wendel Duchscherer Architects & Engineers, the town’s engineering firm, was contracted to prepare new elevation maps.
Prior to the vote, Tim Walck of Wendel told the board that FEMA’s representative had accepted the town’s model for the Sawyer Creek and Bergholz areas.
“It looks like about 130 more structures have been removed,” Walck said.
He noted that the new areas included properties north and south of Niagara Falls Boulevard, including buildings on the Crestwood Health Care Facility campus. Since staging the fight, about 750 homes have been taken out of flood areas, Walck said.
Although the original maps were approved, the town’s additional changes this year will be added later.
Supervisor Robert B. Cliffe, who voted against the approval, said the board could have waited a few more weeks to see how the federal government would react to the FEMA mapping process

In fact, this
Wednesday, July 28th, 2010In fact, this simple technique and additional warning may just be enough to save one’s life.
Such an artificial and directionally induced brainwave system as many uses and obviously one of those uses would be military. For instance if a sensor goes off for a possible contaminant used to make explosives at a security checkpoint, a transportation hub checkpoint or a border checkpoint, then the sensor would alert to the artificial directional brainwave inducer, which would trigger any alert signal in the brain of the soldier. In doing so the soldier would be on full alert and using his full faculties to help in staying on top of the situation. Consider this in 2006.

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010I was sure I would not catch him in time. Before he even got to the highway, he ran in front of an old Ford Mustang and got hit.
I screamed as I watched him get hit, go under the front of the car, and I swear I am not making this up, come out the left side, between the front and rear tire,
and come out running to me!
I stood there sure I had been transported to the Twilight Zone. The car stopped and we took him to the vet, but this was 1974 and there was of course no vet open on Thanksgiving Day. When we took King in the next week, he was fine.
Just a few thoughts that came to mind as I prepare to get my kids their first dog for Christmas.
