Wood Buffalo Housing & Development Corporation: Fort McMurray Leads in Green Housing Technology

Market Wire, June, 2010
“Turning the sod today for the start of construction of the Stony Mountain Plaza affordable housing project is an important event,” exclaims Bryan Lutes, President of Wood Buffalo Housing & Development Corporation (WBHDC). “This project is exceptionally environmentally friendly and is not the type of development most people think of when they think of Fort McMurray.”
Stony Mountain Plaza is an affordable housing development that will ultimately provide homes for 125 families in two complexes. Utility costs will be minimized because of the use of both geothermal and solar panel technology in the development. Current estimates are that utility costs will be reduced by 70% to 75% by using these environmentally-friendly technologies.
“Stony Mountain Plaza is part of the Alberta government’s commitment to development of affordable housing throughout Alberta. I congratulate the Wood Buffalo Housing & Development Corporation for their environmental foresight and innovation with this project. It is the kind of development we need and when finished may be a model for other communities and organizations to follow,” added Jonathan Denis, Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs.
This development will also benefit from eco-friendly modular construction techniques that will reduce overall construction time and environmental impact. The development will be completed within six months-less than one-half the time of a similar site-built project

5 they have a pretty soft schedule the rest of the way.
USC won for the 36th time in 37 games by handling visiting Nebraska, but for some strange reason I?m still not as impressed with them as everyone else is. Now don?t get me wrong, they?re a legitimate national title contender and one of the best five or six teams in the country. However, I just don?t get that same sense of invincibility on this club as I did over the past three seasons. I love the defense but I wonder where the big-time playmaker is on offense?
Checking their schedule I?d be surprised if they don?t run the table, but I think the value may be sucked out of the Trojans.

AN EXPANDED online business network goes live today.
Construction sector network and business support service Build- up North Staffordshire was launched in 2007 by Stokeon-Trent City Council. Since then more than 500 suppliers have signed up, while 48 developers have committed to use the network to find contractors.
Now the scheme has been extended and the construction section has been re-branded as Work Box with two other online resources being created. Eco Net will be for the low carbon sector, which includes the development of emissionreducing products and renewable energy. And Great Minds will be a network and support service for creative sector firms such as web developers, graphic artists, film-makers and designers.

You just moved into a new home and need insurance, so you go to Google and search for “homeowner’s insurance.” It brings up all sorts of links-some sponsored, some not. You click on one of the sponsored links for Esurance.com, and it opens up a page to give you auto-insurance quotes. Wait, that’s not what you’re after.
Another example, this one from a DM News e-mail where IBM was running an ad for a new printer: It boasts about its “Infoprint color technology” and has a spot to click for more information-only once you click, it takes you to a blurb about the printer from a recent IBM newsletter. No call to action, no next step. Not exactly the kind of payoff that’s going to spur a sale

Again, I was very anxious during this pregnancy because I had to wait until my OB appointment to hear my baby?s heartbeat. I looked everywhere for a device I could use at home but the only one I could find was a unit that was poorly engineered. I could never get it to work, all I heard was static, never a clear heartbeat.
After my second little girl was born, we decided to try for a third time. I just love children! This did not go as well. We were able to conceive but I had another early miscarriage. So we tried again, another miscarriage, and a third time, the same thing, an early miscarriage.

Rather than linking to your homepage with the anchor text ?home? link to it with the text ?web hosting main?. This will attach the words ?web? and ?hosting? and ?main? to your homepage. You can obviously leave the word ?main? out if desirable however in many cases it does work for the visitor (you know, those people you?re actually building the site for).
This doesn?t stop at the homepage. If you are linking to internal pages either through your navigation, footers, or inline text links – try to use the phrases that you would want to target on those pages as the linking text. For example, if that hosting company offered and wanted to target ?dedicated hosting?, rather than leaving the link at solely the beautiful graphic in the middle of the homepage they would want to include a text link with the anchor text ?dedicated hosting? and link to this internal page.

?He?s cute,
why?? I asked. ?Cause he?s gonna be in the commercials.? He said deadpan. ?But I?ve
already cast a boy through the talent agency who?s perfect! He?s coming in
tomorrow to do the radio spot and he?s contracted to do the TV shoot the following
day.? I replied. ?Don?t care?. He said. ?This here boy is my grandson and if he isn?t in
the commercials there ain?t going to be any commercials.? I looked at the picture
again and looked back at my redneck crazy man client and shrugged. How bad
could he be? I was about to find out.
The next day at our recording studio the ?cute? grandson I?ll call Jake in this article
to protect all concerned, came in with his mother to do the radio commercials I had
originally scheduled with the professional child actor. I gave Jake the script and
because he had never been near a microphone, I began to coach him as to how
close he should get to it, how to be careful about pronunciation, etc. ?Let?s try a few
lines? I said, and that?s when the fun began.
Jake I quickly learned, had speech problems.

Focus on: Cricket tourists
0 Comments | Western Daily Press, May 29, 2010
Two long-ago cricket teams will be battling it out in our salerooms next month, recalling some legendary names in the game.
The big squad in uniform blazers is the 1928-29 MCC touring team to Australia, and this postcard is signed by 12 of them, including Wally Hammond, Herbert Sutcliffe and Harold Larwood.
It’s on offer at Clevedon Salerooms on Thursday with a second card, not pictured, of a 1954 MCC touring team signed by 19 of the 21-man squad. Estimate: Pounds 50-Pounds 80.
That great big teddy bear of a man leading the 1928 team was Kent’s Percy Chapman, as amiable and easy-going as he looked – until you found yourself bowling against him.
His vice-captain was Somerset’s Jack White, while Hammond is looking suave, young and very Brylcreemed third from the left in the middle row.
The other line-up is the South African touring team at the County Ground in Bristol in 1907, caught between sessions as they were proceeding to thrash Gloucestershire by an innings and 38 runs.
It’s one of a substantial array of postcards to be found at Henry Aldridge and Son’s sale in Devizes on June 19, the work of the Bristol photographer Fred Bustin.
This was the fourth South African tour of England, but the first to give the tourists a Test series in this country. England won 1-0 with two matches drawn, but the Proteas were no lambs to the slaughter, with a quartet of demon googly bowlers.
Second left on the middle row is London-born Reg Schwarz – we used to send them decent players in those days – who was top bowler in England that summer with 137 wickets at an average of 11.79.
But the following year it was his partner in crime Bert Vogler, on the left on the back row, who was one of Wisden’s cricketers of the year and the earliest South African to be named one of its leading cricketers in the world.
Both of them bamboozled our boys all summer long, as did their trusty back-up men Faulkner and White.
They’re left and centre on the front row of what looks a tough and determined team that left not only the Gloucestershire lads wondering what hit them.
