Bright spark: Ben Burge is hoping consumers will want to be involved with their choice of electricity suppliers. Photo: Salona Chithiray
Meet Ben Burge, the math whiz trying to shake up the staid retail energy market with a smartphone app and a good dose of analytics.
When he is away with the family, his mother-in-law pops by discreetly to do a load of washing. Her only explanation for his seemingly clairvoyant ability to know when to send her thank-you flowers is strategically placed web cams.
The truth is far more prosaic. Burge, chief executive of online retail energy challenger Powershop, knows when she's there because the company's app on his smartphone registers an unmistakeable spike in his home's energy consumption.

It's a powerful tool and one he wants to put in the hands every Australian in a bid to take on the major energy retailers with cheaper and cleaner electricity.

Burge, once Australia's youngest CEO of a listed company, eMitch, at 25, and keen skateboarder, has already picked up 30,000 customers in Victoria whilst at the helm of what Powershop claims is the world's first retail online energy market.
It lets consumers use a smartphone app (oniPhone andAndroid) or the web to monitor their energy consumption at home and choose the source of their electricity from alternative energy projects including wind, solar or even sugarcane processing and landfill generation. A move that could help increase demand for renewable energy.

Mr HomeBuilder
Even as Europe stands knee-deep in economic uncertainty, EuroCucina 2012, which was held April 17-22 in conjunction with Salone Internazionale del Mobile at the Milan Fairgrounds in Rho-Milan, Italy, seemed fairly abuzz with activity. Aisles were sufficiently populated to require vigilance for circulation, and booths were well packed to make photography challenging.
Nevertheless, The Europeans have taken quite an economic hit in the last four years, said Giulio Petrilli, VP of project sales for Snaidero USA, and EuroCucina regulars, such as Petrilli, noticed a smaller footprint. According to show organizer Cosmit, while this years outing boasted 166 exhibitors (up from 151), total exhibition space was down from 32,652 to 26,894 sq. m, and attendance experienced a slight dip from 297,460 to 292,370 for the combined event, which also included a furniture accessories component and the International Bathroom Show.
KITCHEN ART
Regardless, the biennial kitchen extravaganza still had much to awe visitors, if not in the number of new innovations, then in sheer artistry. Whereas American shows tend to be more product-focused in their displays, here, booths were often fully accessorized and dramatically illuminated to stoke ones imagination, emotions and viscera. Some displays took a real-life approach, such as SieMatics three BeauxArts vignettes, which were created by Mick De Giuliowho also designed the cabinet lineto be easily transferable to an actual home, and Marchi, an Italian maker of traditional and transitional kitchens, segmented its booth into four elaborately furnished environments, each inspired by a bit of Americana and each in near move-in condition. Others incorporated everything from paper sculptures and plastic flamingoes to crockery, oversized light fixtures and groupings of common household and food items to convey an attitude, a mood or frequently an atmosphere of warmth and domesticity.
Marchis booth was beautifully outfitted with several fully furnished vignettes depicting Americana
As in previous years, many of the kitchens on display were prototypes, noted Petrilli and Amir Ilin, president of Kche+Cucina and North and Central American sales manager for Pedini USA. This makes sense, as several featured mammoth peninsulas or multiple islands bridged by countertops outfitted with stools. Some islands curved, sloped and/or terminated in a casual dining table, seating or a shelving unit angled to break up the long horizontal lines. All required lots of space, which runs contrary to the reality of European kitchens. In Europe, most people live in apartments, so the kitchens are much smaller than what you would find in a catalog or at a show, Ilin said. EuroCucina is like a fashion show, so youll see things that may never go into production, such as large islands that could easily dwarf the roomiest of kitchens stateside. However, Ilin added, prototype or not, the products set a trend or provide a direction.
WOODEN APPEAL
One highly visible trend was a raw, sawn-wood look that some may recall from last years inaugural LivingKitchen show in Cologne, Germany. In fact, Petrilli thinks it may have originated in Northern Europe, where pronounced graining and rustic wood effects have long been favored. Shown in medium- and dark-wood tones, as well as gray, and often paired with countertops formed of large wooden planks that appeared as if sliced from a tree, the back-to-nature look was pervasive in Milan, but Petrilli and Ilin are doubtful about its success. Both Snaidero and Pedini introduced it a few years ago and it never took off, Ilin said. Customers liked it, but they didnt buy it. Sometimes you need products that make people ooh and aah, but then they move on. Moreover, Petrilli said, The Italian market has gone strictly into the lacquers, which account for 90 percent of Snaideros business and tend to be less expensive than wood. Italians, in terms of a general market, are downscaling their kitchens because of the economy, and theyre basically choosing lacquer.
Minacciolo went back to nature with its Natural Skin kitchen in cooked pine.
Other popular finishes at the show included glass (especially in the frosted variety), metal and laminates, which hold appeal no doubt because of their affordability. Some companies experimented with textured concrete, ceramics or stone on cabinet doors, drawers and sides, and countertops, which were either very thin or very thick, were served up in a variety of materials. Yet despite the selection of finishes, colors in general veered toward neutral with white, gray and wood tones dominating the exhibits. Ilin noted, From a psychological standpoint, when the economy starts to slow down, things become softer, and colors are less bright and gutsy.

SCOTT COUNTY, Va. -
A popular horse-betting facility in Scott County shut down more than a year ago. Sunday, the building re-opened to the public for the first time since then.
200 TV monitors with nothing but horse racing lined the walls of Colonial Downs. A year later -- a congregation full of excited people fill the space which is now the sanctuary of Uplift Church.
We noticed that it had sat vacant for almost a year and we knew it had closed down. So, we put somebody in charge of finding out if it was available, and if they would be willing to rent it to a church, and they said, yeah absolutely, says Patrick Johnson, pastor.
Johnson and members of his church went right to work remodeling, cleaning and preparing for the grand opening.
We started five weeks ago, and this whole building was totally different. Just to come through every Saturday and see how this has changed is phenomenal, says Britney Miles, church member.
Uplift Church has changed a lot too since Johnson started it back in 2012, when he held services in the basement of his home. We first originally started with five families, he says.
Those five families have grown into this -- with attendance numbers no one anticipated -- but couldn't be more thrilled about. It was just amazing to see 239 people come to Christ today. I was definitely excited, Miles adds.
And so was Connor Lovelace who came to Uplift for the first time. I work with a lot of the people that go here and they just make you feel at home. It's just a really welcoming environment. I love it. I love it a lot, Lovelace says.
All bets aside, it's a celebration of a fresh start and a new beginning. It's taken a whole lot of people. What grew out of those five families have now grown to more than that and they've all pitched in, and I mean just really done an amazing work to get all this work done, Johnson says.

DELAND As cleanup work at the site of a former golf course wraps up, developers are hoping to start construction on a new shopping center on the site in the southern part of city next month.
Country Club Corners could host shoppers as early as next fall, said attorney Mark Watts of Cobb Cole, a representative for Lake Mary-based Tailwinds Development.
The 14.5-acre shopping center is one piece of a roughly 105-acre mixed-use development planned for the site of what was once the DeLand Country Club. The centerpiece of the shopping center will be a 53,785-square-foot Publix supermarket.
The new grocery store will replace an existing Publix directly across the street, anchoring the Southpointe Commons shopping center.
The Publix building will have another 8,400 square feet of retail space attached to it. Another 31,300-square-foot junior anchor retail building is planned just north of the Publix. Combined with smaller outparcels, the center will offer 104,033 square feet of retail and restaurant space in total.
The new Publix will be significantly larger than the old one, which is 42,000 square feet, said Dwaine Stevens, a Publix spokesman.
The developers are working with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to clean up dieldrin pesticide contamination on the property. The pesticide was used on the golf course decades ago before it was found to be toxic and banned in the 1980s.
In 2011, contamination was discovered in the soil and groundwater of several neighborhoods near the golf course. There is work going on on the property now, said Watts. Most of that is related to the remedial action plan that was approved by the DEP. On the commercial side I think well be wrapped up in January (with the remediation work) and well be starting with the infrastructure part of the commercial side.
Watts said the cleanup work has progressed well and without any surprises. Similar work on the residential side of the project is set to begin in April.

Thanks For Visiting!
Rick McClain Photography - Utah commercial photographers specializing in innovative product photography, architectural photography, and industrial photography using traditional photographic methods, TOTALLY DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY, and digital manipulation. We are full service photographers in Salt Lake City, Utah, using 8" X 10", 4" X 5", 6 X 7 cm, 4.5 X 6 cm, and 35 mm formats to capture our images.
OUR DIGITAL CAMERA is a high resolution Single Lens Reflex, that captures an image large enough to be reproduced at 150 lines per inch up to and including standard magazine covers and virtually limitless continuous tone prints. (We've printed up to 60 inches wide and they still look sharp as a tack. Absolutely incredible.) We use a wide range of interchangeable lenses, from very wide angle to telephoto on this camera; not limiting the creativity of our images. Nor are we tied to the studio with this camera. It can be used tethered to a computer in the studio or untethered, capturing 18mb files even in the field. Since it captures its files in one single exposure at any shutterspeed we wish to use, it is perfect for capturing portraits or moving objects, even sports, as well as still lifes in the studio or on location with our full range of lighting equipment.
We welcome you to our site and hope you will enjoy our images. We've kept our pages simple to make them download quickly for you and would certainly like to hear from you about our site, good or bad. Each page has an E-Mail link directly to us.
Our images are used by a truly wide gamut of businesses including Advertising Agencies, Graphic Designers, Art Directors, Architects, Contractors, Manufacturers large and small, Interior Designers, etc. Images we create grace the covers and pages of brochures, catalogs, annual reports, newspapers, magazines (editorially and advertising), billboards, coffee table picture books, and calendars. They are also used for the backgrounds of several television news sets, on buses, as hang tags, trade show displays, .....and again the list goes on and on.
In the last couple of years, we have, of course, satisfied many requests for images for the World Wide Web. We can photograph your products and deliver them to you on disk or send them directly to you via the InterNet itself.
Rick has been taking photographs for a living for over twenty seven years now and still enjoys the challenge that each new assignment brings; although sometimes the hardest part of the job is convincing the client that taking a simple "snapshot" isn't going to sell the product. Dramatic photographs produce dramatic results.
Our experience in traditional photography and our creative digital artistry work for you to produce images that are sure to show off your products, services, and ideas to their utmost. Our images are designed to grab your clients' attention and hold it.
We work with a sensitivity for clients' needs and direction, are easy to work with, have reasonable rates, and create wonderfully eye catching images, too!
Let our careful lighting, attention to detail, photographic creativity, and digital prowess work for you to show off products, ideas, and services for or to your clientele.
