concur with Lu’s findings. Since projecting our electricity usage in real time on the web, in an easily readable, annotated visualization format, it’s become very clear to us both when the peaks in our usage occur, and what is causing them, without sweating the small stuff. The simple visualization of high-energy devices – dryers, dishwashers – seems, from a simple behavioral modification standpoint, to get the job done. Appliance-based monitoring systems, furthermore, inject a complexity that means they’ll take awhile to achieve ubiquity. Although we yearn for a future in which all appliances are “smart,” the number of smart plugs, smart sockets, and upgraded appliances that would need to be integrated into our households to make an appliance-based system effective, as well as the data gaps that would accompany a necessarily piecemeal application, make the idea of a whole-house, appliance-based monitoring system seem, to us, a misplaced focus right now.

Again I love your writting and how you find interesting "things" to take a look at. My fathers family worked for Crane and Co. for generations. My grandmother, great grandparents and great great grandparents as well as many assorted aunts and uncles are burried in Dalton in a family plot awarded to the family years and years ago as a "perk" of working for the mills. I have spent endless afternoons sifting through the old hand written birth and death records in Dalton doing family research and indeed I have been to the museum. A small but interesting place…. the size of the museum does not do the mills justice… there is so much the mills and the crane's have done for that small community than can be depicted in that tiny building.

You need to tell subversion what mime-type to use. Just use the command:svn propset svn:mime-type 'text/html' FILENAME
or
svn propset svn:mime-type 'image/jpeg' FILENAME
For more info: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.advanced.props.file-portability.html#svn.advanced.props.special.mime-type
It's also possible to configure your Subversion client to automatically set
each file's mime-type. For example, by modifying ~/.subversion/config to resemble[miscellany]
enable-auto-props = yes[auto-props]
*.html = svn:mime-type=text/htmlFor more info: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch07.html#svn-ch-7-sect-1.3.2

<blockquote>The present volume presents first, the theoretical basis for these hull modeling systems and second, the procedures for computing hull geometric, buoyancy and other properties by mathematical methods utilizing such models. The emphasis is upon the nomenclature and fundamentals underlying several different methods of hull geometrical modeling with the intention of providing the understanding needed to use intelligently both existing and future tools. Some topics included in the volume are continuity and fairness of surfaces, B-spline and NURBS representation, ruled and developable surfaces, subdivision surfaces, and classic computational topics such as hydrostatic properties and initial stability.<br />ISBN # 0-939773-67-8</blockquote> -

<p><span>Morning Edition,</span> <span class="date">April 15, 2009 · </span> A federal proposal to restrict a plastic additive called bisphenol A (BPA) is focusing attention on a guiding concept known as the "precautionary principle." </p><p>The <a href="http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=111_cong_bills&docid=f:s593is.pdf" target="blank">proposal</a> would ban BPA from food and beverage containers. Proponents say the precautionary principle requires such a ban because high doses of BPA can cause reproductive abnormalities and cancer in animals.</p><p>But whether you agree with that stance <b>depends on how you define the precautionary principle</b>. It's not written into federal law, and it turns out that people have widely differing views on what it is, and how it should be applied. </p>

<ul>
<li>Method: createQueryFromPrefs(prefs)</li>
<li>Return Value: google.visualization.Query</li>
<li>Description: Static. Create a new instance of <code>google.visualization.Query</code> and set its properties
according to values from the gadget preferences.
The type of parameter <code>prefs</code> is

<p>We used the Google map, got to the supposed address & couldn't find the restaurant, went back to the hotel, got new direction went back to the same place and finally realized that the restaurant is hidden behind four huge billboards.

<p>
It was worth the effort. I had brucetta with fresh tomatoes, lots of garlic, lots of olive oil and a thin slice of parmasan on each piece. Dad had mussels with maybe too much garlic, if such a thing is possible. The tiramsu was light and soaked.
