Find Out More About Hot Water Tanks
Your hot water tank has stopped working and you have no hot water – now what??
Canada Furnace has you completely covered, whether you simply want to replace the existing tank or move up to a more sophisticated and efficient "On Demand, Tank-Less" hot water heating system.
Here's the best part – if you don't wish to invest anywhere from hundreds to frankly thousands of dollars in up front equipment costs why not rent your next hot water equipment? Not only will you avoid having to tie up capital in that big initial investment, but you'll also be covered completely for the cost of any future repairs throughout the life of the rental. Think about that – no ugly surprises to knock the monthly budget out of whack!
Canada Furnace has been in the home comfort business for over 30 years, so when we decided to offer the flexibility of hot water heating rental, we did our homework thoroughly and with our customers benefit(s) at the top of the list. We sweated the details too – the flexibility of having the rental agreement transferable being just one example. If you rent a hot water heater from Canada Furnace, you will enjoy complete peace of mind and will know your associated monthly costs accurately well into the future.
If you live anywhere in the BC lower mainland, be it Vancouver, Maple Ridge, Burnaby, Surrey or wherever, Canada Furnace is available to work with you and for you 24/7.
We offer competitive pricing for hot water heating systems in Greater Vancouver
If renting is not the way you want to go, our pricing is as competitive as anyone in the marketplace and we're both proud and pleased to offer "tank-less, on demand" hot water heaters produced by Navien and Rheem or conventional hot water "tanks" from Bradford White and Rheem. These are all very highly regarded manufacturers with industry leading quality, backed by solid warranty programs.
The goal at Canada Furnace is to make it as easy as possible for you to enjoy all of the possible comfort in your home with the least amount of hassle and the greatest amount of value. Be it a new hot water heater, gas furnace, heat pump, fireplace or air conditioner our aim remains the same and that is putting you first.
Questions About Hot Water Tanks
Not very many years ago, a discussion regarding how you got hot water to come out of the faucet would go something like this.
How many gallons/litres is your water heater (hot water tank)?
Is the tank heated with gas or electricity?
What quality would you like (usually a good-better–best proposition)?
That would pretty much take care of the sales side of the equation and at that point you would pick out the appropriate "tank" then somebody would come out, install it and if you were lucky, dispose of the old one for you. Canada Furnace doesn't leave any old stuff behind, unless you want us to – and no, taking your "old" spouse away isn't part of the deal!
Hot Water Tank Options
The scenario can still certainly remain that way today, but the options are becoming more varied, interesting and dynamic. At Canada Furnace, we want to ensure that our customers are fully aware of all the available alternatives in today's world to produce hot water tanks in Burnaby. Hot water tank's themselves haven't changed that much in recent times, although there is a greater variety of sizes and different footprints now available with respect to space restrictions (some tanks are shorter and squatter while others are made taller and skinnier). In terms of price and quality a great deal of what that represents comes down to the level of warranty coverage (more on hot water tank warranties later).
On Demand Water Heating
In addition to the old "tried and true" hot water tank, the development in recent years and marketing of "on demand" or "tankless" water heaters has definitely had an impact on the marketplace. On Demand water heaters have been available in the North American market for no more than a decade but now sell in significant numbers. While a more expensive initial proposition On Demand water heaters offer some compelling differences to the traditional hot water tank water heater. For one thing, the On Demand heaters essentially will produce hot water for as long as you want it – feel like a four hour shower (four hour shower – sounds like a song title) you can have one and the hot water will just keep on flowing. Additionally, they are highly proficient from a fuel consumption standpoint and the fact that there is no need to continue keeping a large volume of water continuously heated provides considerable gains from that process as well. Essentially, when you turn on the faucet (or washing machine, dishwasher, what have you) the on demand device lights up and instantaneously (well, almost) begins creating the hot water and won't stop until you turn it off. The Navien on demand water heaters that Canada Furnace supplies are also fully stainless steel construction, providing a life span upwards of 25 years as opposed to a decent quality hot water tank which is estimated to last about 10 years at best.
Pros and Cons of On Demand
It's been said that "there is no such thing as Utopia" and one could suppose that applies to the on demand water heater as well. Like most things, there are trade-offs with tankless water heaters. We've mentioned the cost, which can be upwards of four times that of a conventional tank heater (although offset by the greater lifespan and fuel efficiency to a large degree), but more importantly it can revolve around the issue of application. One limitation to even the largest capacity of on demand water heaters is that of flow capacity. They are usually limited by how many "draw demands" are possible and the upward limit of the largest units is about four. By draw, we mean how many faucets (showers, washing machines, dishwashers etc.) can run at the same time. In other words, if you have family with 3 teenagers and two or three adults all wanting to use hot water at the same time, an on demand set up may not be able to provide sufficient capacity for you. Having said that, in most instances they provide more than plentiful hot water for the majority of home owners.
Hydronic Heat
Another interesting twist to the on demand water heaters Canada story concerns those homes that are heated by Hydronic heat (hot water boilers). Navien (and other manufacturers) now construct a compact home heating boiler that is also an on demand water heater. For those families looking to replace an old boiler system, these devices open up some nice opportunities. There is initially the space saving gained from the fact that these new combination boilers are considerably smaller than conventional ones (a box like device that mounts on the wall) plus even more space opened up by getting rid of the hot water tank. You can even keep the tank if it's in good shape, disconnect the heating element and plumb it to the On Demand heater for an additional passive source of hot water – lots of options and that's always a good thing.
Some people are even going to great lengths to utilize other methods for heating for hot water. Solar, geothermal sources and other seemingly esoteric methods to enjoy a hot bath are being attempted regularly. There is nothing specifically wrong with any of these methods, but they do fall somewhat into the esoteric category.
Variety of capacities
For most of us living in the real world, things like budget, time and simplicity are foremost and to that end, more conventional ideas make the most sense. In terms of cost, the old but reliable method of heating up water and storing it for future use in an insulated tank is still the most reasonable answer. Canada Furnace offers conventional water heaters from 2 quality manufacturers; Bradford & White and Rheem. They are covered by a "no leak" warranty for 8 years (i.e. if the unit springs a leak within the 8 year coverage period, the manufacturer will provide a new tank at no cost). Both are solid national brands with genuine warranty coverage, first rate parts back up and Canada Furnace completes the deal with our own labour warranty. It should be noted that many Hot Water Tank warranties are pro-rated over the life span of the unit, leaving little "in the bank" when the unit gets old. To answer the question about paying more for a hot water tank with a longer warranty, the answer will generally be no. The tank itself is the same and as the warranty is as mentioned an ever diminishing affair, there is normally no advantage to the higher up front cost. Hot water tanks are available from Canada Furnace in a variety of capacities from 40, 50 and 60 US gallon and other special order sizes. Heating elements can be either natural gas or electric.
Types of corrosion
If you do have an aging tank in your home (let's say 8-10 years of service) it is a very good idea to inspect it for any leaks corrosion etc. If you're not sure what to look for, contact a heating professional to inspect and advise accordingly. Not all homes have a drain near the hot water tank as well and older tanks have been known to "let go" rapidly dumping a huge amount of water out of the bottom almost instantaneously. If there is no drain nearby to contend with the rush of water (which will continue until the water main has been turned off), a considerable amount of damage can occur. It's not unusual for a tank to dump water in a mechanical room and the resulting flood may destroy the furnace and/or other material in the vicinity. Insurance companies won't always cover such damage either and to that end it's a good idea to find out what your particular home policy says about the matter. A qualified professional can also note various types of corrosion and other wear that will assist in understanding your most reasonable course going forward.
Are government rebates available for hot water heaters?
Canada Furnace has the same professional sales approach toward water heaters as we do with all of our products and services. If it's simply a replacement tank you require, give us a call with size and what type of heat element it uses (gas or electric) and we can get things worked out over the phone. If it's an emergency situation, let us know and Canada Furnace will prioritize it accordingly. Let's say however that you've been investigating the newer on demand water heaters and are giving those devices some consideration. A consultation with a Canada Furnace professional would be a good recommendation. As well as the consideration of the amount of hot water demand your family creates, it's always a good idea to assess the current equipment, the attendant plumbing and the whole sphere of mechanical/electrical concerns involved. It should be noted that electric tankless hot water heaters are also available and in that case it's necessary to determine that your home has the available electrical capacity for such a device. The same is essentially true for natural gas heaters as well, determining the correct size of gas piping is also a requirement. Once you're satisfied that an on demand hot water heater will satisfy your hot water needs and will not require any major surgery to the homes gas or electrical services, Canada Furnace will assist you in picking the correct size of unit and arrange for a team to come out for a quick and painless installation. It's actually pretty cool to never run out of hot water again! It should also be mentioned for situations where it is applicable (e.g. mobile homes) that a propane tankless hot water heater in a variety of capacities is also now on the market.
Are government rebates available for hot water heaters? The short answer is yes. Canada Furnace currently offers 2 different conventional tanks that reach a high enough efficiency threshold to qualify for a $200.00 rebate – be sure to ask about those models when you call. On demand water heaters qualify in a range from $400.00 to $500.00 depending on capacity and model. While it doesn't amount to a monstrous saving, a couple of hundred extra bucks can heat a lot of water – especially with a more efficient and effective system.
Running new gas lines
The history of hot water heater development follows a path not unlike many other industrially manufactured, commercially sold appliances. Way back when, more than a half century ago, hot water tanks were made completely out of copper with brass fittings. Needless to say other than the heating sources which could be oil (maybe natural gas) or electricity the tanks themselves never needed to be serviced as they would last practically forever. They did lack in efficiency however, but back then who cared? I know this because the house I grew up in had such an ugly beast of a thing hiding in the basement. It was heated by heating oil (stinky stuff if ever there was) and had a ridiculous looking huge wrap of some stuff that looked like it may have been dredged up from the Paleozoic era. Oh yea, we were always running short of hot water too. With better, more efficient manufacturing techniques, notwithstanding the fact that making a tank completely out of copper today would cost about a gazillion dollars, the method of water tank production has changed dramatically now. The tank itself today is usually made from fiberglass, insulated then wrapped in a sheet metal casing. The heating elements are far more efficient from those of the not too distant past and while some may say that this can all be chalked up to "built in obsolescence", the fact is that in the long run, the cost to create hot water for the end user has gone down dramatically. The advent of the on demand type systems is really just more of the same progress using a different technique – it seems that we're speeding up our efficiency's faster than ever before. The fact that these newer tankless heaters can heat the water pretty much instantaneously really is a game changer and the adoption of this type of technology will undoubtedly increase in the future. The cost of on demand water heaters will drop as the demand goes up (I'm not charging any readers for the complex lesson in economics) and there may be a time where the hot water tank has joined the buggy whip in the halls of historic stuff we don't see anymore. Having said that, the use of storage tanks in certain "passive" water heating applications may well continue for some time. It should be noted that regardless of the type of heater you are using today, that natural gas is faster and overall more effective at heating up water than electricity. Of course, one is going to use the heat source for their home that is readily available. Running new gas lines into a home without them isn't a very cost effective plan if all you want to do is heat some water with it.
Cutting edge technology
Heating water with solar energy can be accomplished in 2 ways. The first would be a passive solar system whereby the heat of the sun is allowed directly into the water supply by a method of running lots of piping (black in colour) over an elevated surface (usually a roof) and allowing the suns radiation to heat the water for ready use or to store in a tank. This has been a popular heat source for outdoor swimming pools. It is pretty simplistic method and likely not too effective. The second solar method is to significantly utilize solar panels (on or off the grid|) and use the generated (perhaps stored) electricity to heat the water. This would be a more efficient use of solar power and particularly successful if one was on the grid. Given the climate in the BC Lower Mainland and particularly the lack of sunlight in the winter however, solar energy in general has drawbacks for us. Geothermal energy comes from drilling deep into the ground and if the geology where one lives is appropriate, can be a very reliable and once established very cost effective energy source. The problem is the cost associated with drilling super deep holes and the mechanical equipment required to ensure the correct operation of the set-up is very high.
As mentioned earlier, some homes that use hot water heat can install a heat exchanger which will draw heat from the main boiler (particularly a good setup with a combination boiler-water heater) and have the hot water from that process stored in a tank. The tank doesn't require a heat source of its own and the heated water stored therein (which is continually cycled past the heat source) is kind of "free" as its utilizing otherwise wasted heat. Creative professionals in the HVAC business have been coming up with more and more cutting edge methods for effectively heating water (and all sorts of other stuff) for many years. Canada Furnace takes pride in keeping up with all of this progress and communicating the best of it to our valued clientele. Some of this stuff may seem a bit crazy right now (and some of it may always be crazy) but other methods that show promise and warrant progress will eventually find their way to the marketplace and ultimately into your home. Call Canada Furnace anytime with questions – we might not know the immediate answer, but I bet we know who to ask!
In summation, you've decided that although you like cutting edge technology, you aren't quite ready to drill a 2 mile deep hole on your property and don't feel quite ready to establish your own solar farm – that seems fair.
Hot water storage tank
Maybe the advances represented by on demand – tankless hot water heaters has piqued your curiosity enough to look a little deeper. The first thing to consider besides the cost of the unit, involves the size of the family and the water use patterns in the home. Also, the energy source and the capacity of the service to the home has to be considered. In addition it's also possible to calculate energy savings (and durability of the unit) into a process that can illustrate the differences in cost from a conventional tank heater versus the on demand unit. If these considerations look compelling, we'd suggest giving Canada Furnace a call and we'll walk you through the process to a point of determination. As each family has unique requirements (and a wish list) it may make sense to go with on demand or conversely it might make better sense to stay the tried and true course of having a hot water tank.
You may be looking at the need to replace your heating boiler. If that is the case, there can be no better time to investigate the advantages of a combination heating boiler/water heater as available from the Navien Combi unit (one of Canada Furnaces best-selling products). You may want to save space by eliminating the existing hot water tank or perhaps if it's fairly new, use it as a passive hot water storage tank.
Or, the water tank in the basement has just started leaking (or worse, just burst) and your only concern is to have things back to the way they were (and back to normal).
Tankless water heaters
Regardless of why your concerns are hot water related, Canada Furnace is one quick phone call away. If it's a simple tank replacement, we'll have you back up, in the shower, doing laundry and washing dishes in no time (laundry, dishes – maybe not such a compelling pitch to have hot water in the first place!?). If you are interested in looking a bit deeper into the latest technology availed by the tankless on demand water heaters of today, we would be more than happy to offer you a no obligation in home consultation with you to see if it makes solid sense.
Finally, if you just have questions about hot water and aren't really sure about how you'd like to approach the subject, you will find that the people on the end of the phone at Canada Furnace are courteous, friendly and above all very knowledgeable about all thing hot water -in fact, all things home comfort e.g. furnaces, heat pumps, boilers, air quality and so on.
Give us a call, you will not be disappointed!

Resolution For Payroll Tax Cut Extension May Be Near
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Robert Siegel.
And I'm Lynn Neary. There's been a breakthrough on Capitol Hill this evening. The partisan standoff over extending soon-to-expire payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits appears headed toward resolution. House Speaker John Boehner backed down from his insistence on nothing but a yearlong extension, and Boehner announced that he will try to pass a two-month long measure possibly as soon as tomorrow. Joining me now to sort out what's happened is NPR congressional correspondent David Welna.
So David, what did happen there on Capitol Hill?
DAVID WELNA, BYLINE: Well Lynn, Speaker of the House John Boehner essentially blinked. He went from tacitly supporting a two-month extension of the expiring provisions last week, to turn against such a two-month extension after his fellow House Republicans revolted during a conference call over the weekend that followed the Senate's approval of that extension, to reversing himself once again today and endorsing a two-month extension. Boehner announced the decision to his fellow Republicans in another conference call late this afternoon, but this time it was a take it or take it proposition; no one was allowed to talk back to the speaker. Some of those members complained afterward that they'd been hung out to dry, but Boehner dismissed such talk a news conference after the call.
REPRESENTATIVE JOHN BOEHNER: We have fought the fight, the good fight. But, you know, I talked to enough members over the last 24 hours who believe that, hey, listen, we don't like this two-month extension. We don't like this reporting problem in the Senate bill, and if you can get this fixed, why not do the right thing for the American people, even though it's not exactly what we want.
WELNA: The reporting problem that Boehner referred to was a contention by House Republicans that a two-month extension would wreak havoc with payroll accounting systems, so putting in this fix, as Boehner called it, is a kind of a face-saver for House Reps. They can say they approved the Senate bill and not that they simply took what the Senate sent over to them.
NEARY: But in the end, what was it that made Boehner blink?
WELNA: I think that House Republicans clearly were courting political disaster if they insisted on their stance and payroll tax cut actually expired on January 1. There was a growing chorus of conservatives from across the country and especially from the U.S. Senate - 39 Senate Republicans after all voted for the two-month extension – urging the House to reverse its stance. And it put, you know, it put the House Republicans really at odds with their Senate counterparts and it was a very uncomfortable situation, and also, President Obama seemed to be reaping a big political windfall from this. And I think Republicans were getting very uneasy about how the tide was turning against them.
NEARY: But is this really a done deal?
WELNA: Well, it's a done deal if every member of the House and every member of the Senate goes along with it. You need a unanimous consent in both chambers for this to be passed without Congress actually reconvening here. And we have yet to see if that's really going to happen. New York Democratic Senator Charles Schumer told CNN today that he hoped that Congress has turned a page, but he was a little bit tentative about whether that actually will happen.
SENATOR CHARLES SCHUMER: And hopefully, those extreme – the extreme wing in the House, who initially was against any payroll tax cut, then was only for one if it was so loaded up with things that were unpalatable to the rest of us that we were never one, if they don't run the show we can get this done.
NEARY: But this agreement, David, only lasts two months, and then what happens after that?
WELNA: Well, and then after that, they would try to extend this for a full year and conferees have been appointed as part of this deal to do so. But the real test will be whether House Republicans will drop the very contentious provisions they insisted on this time. Democrats hope that they may have learned something from this episode and won't be insistent next time.
NEARY: Thanks, David.
WELNA: You're welcome, Lynn.
NEARY: That's NPR's David Welna on Capitol Hill. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Women of Vail: Opportunity knocks in Vail
Vail, CO Colorado
Editor's note: This is an excerpt from "Women of Vail," by Elaine Kelton and Carolyn Pope. The Vail Daily is serializing the book as Vail celebrates its 50th anniversary. Books are available for purchase at http://www.bookwormofedwards.com, the Colorado Ski Museum, Pepi's, Gorsuch, Annie's, and the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens.
I was born in Boston and educated in Boston and Philadelphia; my chosen career as a young woman was education. My first teaching assignment was on Long Island, where I met Sally (Cox) Johnston; I taught first grade, and Sally was the music teacher. We eventually moved to Boston, where we would be closer to the New England ski areas and where we roomed together through graduate school. We discovered Sugarloaf, Maine, where I eventually met Bill Hanlon. Bill had a tiny car and a buddy named Billy, and they used to pick up Sally and me after school almost every Friday, and drive us to Sugarloaf to ski.
After we got married, our mutual love of skiing, together with adventurous spirits, brought us to Crested Butte, Colo. It was there that we became close friends with Paul Johnston and David and Renie (Cox) Gorsuch. I had met Renie, who was Sally's sister, many times before moving to Colorado, and our families grew closer as we shared in the Colorado adventure. After a couple of years, we realized the growing opportunities in Vail, and we struck out on a new chapter.
Paul learned that the Black Bear Bar in Vail had suddenly closed and was available. Paul, Bill and I opened a nightclub and named it the Nu Gnu. We were located in the Clock Tower building, underneath the Gorsuch store. Our families thought we were crazy as we finished our jobs in Crested Butte and worked frantically through the weekends in Vail to build out the club and to hire a chef and staff. Though we had envisioned owning a sophisticated, elegant supper club, we soon realized that we were in fact the owners of a popular and raucous rock-n-roll club. The club was busier than we'd have dared to imagine, going to standing room only almost immediately. It was a party spot, with live music and lots of characters. I will never get over the memory of seeing one of our regular customers with a stocky kitten on a leash, and realizing, as it brushed against me, that it was a very young lion.
Building a community
When we were expecting our first child, Bill and I sold our interest in the Nu Gnu to Paul, and opened The Emporium, which is known today as Wild Bill's Emporium. I worked at the shop and tended to the kids, and when he wasn't at the store, Bill also worked at the Clock Tower Inn with our friend John Kaemmer. We all still remember the amazing desserts that Julie Kaemmer, John's wife, would bake and deliver to the restaurant.
Our shop sold flowers, candy, and antiques, along with a few gifts. I sold a lot of antiques, but mostly flowers and candy. The European families liked flowers; people came in all the time. We often went to get the flowers in our Volkswagen van (a long trip since the interstate hadn't yet been built), or sometimes they came on the public bus delivered in front of our door, as Vail Village was not pedestrian yet. If we didn't sell the flowers, I got to take them all home; some weeks, my house looked like a funeral parlor. Our freshest flowers came from the garden of Ella Knox, who used to bring them in often. Once someone bought a bouquet to be delivered with the message, "May I please come home?" Another standout was a rose with the message, "Tonight?"
As the mother of two small children, my interest in education was rekindled. There was a kindergarten under the Interfaith Chapel, and local teacher Allen Brown's mother lived with us every winter. I served on the committee that worked to build Red Sandstone Elementary School, and when the decision to open it was delayed, we became involved with Vail Mountain School, working to open its elementary school. At that time, the school was located in several trailers in Dowd Junction, and I think that there were 38 students the first year we were involved. Being a teacher at heart, I stayed heavily invested in education, and I am delighted that through the hard work and dedication of many parents, the school eventually grew to success. It seems somehow fitting that Sally Johnston (my first teaching friend and later the wife of our first business partner in Vail) and I would share duties on the board of directors of Vail Mountain School for a number of years.
Small-town life
It was fabulous raising children here. We're an outdoor family. Small-town life for kids – you could let children go outside, you could let them ski on their own, and you could let them ride the buses. We didn't have the organized activities that they have today. It was wonderful; the kids made snowmen and snow forts, and ran through the creeks and beaver ponds in summer. No TV. Guys went to watch football with Father Stone because for a time, he had the only local TV. We moved to Forest Road and then bought an apartment at the Vorlaufer. We eventually bought another, combined the two, and are still there.
We went on to open Vail Village Travel Agency, then Vail Boot and Shoe and finally Bridge Street Antiques, which later became a souvenir shop called Graffiti. Together with Bill, I have remained active in the Vail community. I am happy to have started a family tradition that is being continued by our son Joe and daughter Meg, who live and work in Vail today with young children of their own.
"Women of Vail" was produced by a team that includes Elaine Kelton and Carolyn Pope, publishers; Joanne Morgan, designer and production; and Rosalie Hill Isom, writer-editor.

Eagle County bear sightings have doubled from 2019
Are we seeing more bears because there are more bears on the valley floor, or because we're all spending more time at home? It could be a bit of both.

of aging.
Notwithstanding the preceding conditions, if within 21days of the date of sale of any lot, the original purchaser(a) gives notice in writing to us alleging that the identification of Authorship (as defined below) of such lot is not substantially correct based on a fair reading of the catalogue (including the terms of glossary contained therein), and

Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as an admission by us of any representation of fact, express or implied, obligation or responsibility with respect to any lot. The purchaser's sole remedy in the event this
paragraph is invoked is as provided herein. Consignor agrees to be bound by our judgment as to Authorship and by our determination regarding rescission. The purchaser expressly acknowledges and agrees that in no event shall we liable for any compensatory, incidental or consequential damages."Authorship" means only the identity of the creator.
The right of rescission does not extend to (a) works executed before 1870 unless these works are determined to be counterfeit, as this is a matter of current scholarly opinion which can change, (b) titles or other identification of offered lots or descriptions of physical condition and size, quality, rarity, importance, provenance, exhibition and literature
of historical relevance. Although our best judgment is used in attributing paintings, drawings and sculpture created prior to 1870 through the appropriate use of the glossary terms, and due care is taken to ensure the correctness of the supplemental material, the right of rescission does not extend to any possible errors or omissions therein.

Cheese and mushroom casserole with chicken
This casserole is simple and delicious, and makes a perfect snack during a picnic (bento anyone?)—you should use it as a basic idea for a casserole, since the pasta sauce is the stable and the most important piece of the meal. It's also a very tweak-able recipe! :-)
Creamy scrambled eggs
I love the creamy texture of scrambled eggs, but I strongly dislike the idea of eating eggs raw, so I hacked a scrambled eggs recipe to be both completely set, creamy, and pack a crunchy punch as an extra. It's so delicious with fresh bread or toast, and the consistency makes it spreadable like a cottage cheese! I come back to this recipe quite often, because it's simple, fast and feels luxurious ;-)
Sweet potato quiche
Quiche is that one recipe that I love coming back to — it's easy to make, looks delicious and tastes heavenly :-) Plus, it allows me to come up with new fillings, which makes it very versatile!
Sweet potatoes are very smooth and creamy when boiled, then baked, and shallots add a crunchy texture. The combination of them is very mild and aromatic, so make sure you spice it up to your liking!
German Zimtsterne (cinnamon almond cookies)
I always wanted to make these, and finally got the guts — oh boy, I wasn't really prepared for the amount of nitty-gritty with making these. I started with original German recipe that called for 500g of almonds, but that ended up being 2 full baking sheets and lots of sneaky snacking between steps ;-) But the result is good, and these cookies are worth the effort.
Tuna and egg bento
The bare tuna-paste bento was a great success, but with the arrival of my new bento container, I was left with some extra unused space. I decided to fill the space with easy to make and very tasty iri tamago, which is basically a Japanese kind of scrambled eggs! You can definitely use iri tamago in onigiri, or as a small side dish.

|Mountain lion (Beast)
|7-30 Rare
|Alliance Horde
|Hillsbrad Foothills
|Araga's Cub (mulitple)
|Pet family
Araga is a level 24 rare mob mountain lion found in the Hillsbrad Foothills. She used to have a unique appearance, with a slight mane and a striped tail.
Taming Araga
Considering her entirely unique appearance - she is the only cat with this skin - Araga is quite a prize for those hunters who love having special pets. However, Araga is one of the rarest cats in the game, if not the rarest, and as a result, probably the most difficult to find and tame. It can most likely be found around the Headland, Corrahn's Dagger and Gavin's Naze, where other unnamed mountain lions spawn.
Many hunters lament camping under Humar's tree waiting for him to respawn, but in fact, he's a cakewalk compared to Araga. Humar's respawn timer is 6–8 hours, while Araga's is 24–36 hours. Humar spawns in the exact same spot every time and does not move around, while Araga can spawn ANYWHERE in Hillsbrad Foothills where mountain lions are capable of spawning, and she wanders. Humar's tree is remote and most players not specifically looking for Humar will never go there... while Araga's most likely spawn locations are in high-traffic questing and traveling areas.
If you go to the green cliffs in southern Alterac and see her, consider yourself lucky, as there are a number of factors working against the chance of just happening across her. The chances of a player coming across Araga on their way to Dalaran (for example), noticing her rare spawn status, killing her for the heck of it, and leaving the area as if they were never there, is very high. Something like that can happen the moment Araga is spawned. For a hunter looking to tame Araga, there is nothing you can really do except camp the site as much as possible and don't give up.
The easiest way to get this pet, and many others, is to wait until there is a server restart, and wait for her around the time she would respawn - in Araga's case, 24–36 hours after the restart.
- 36 - 49 Damage
- 959 Armor
- Tamable
Drops a randomly-enchanted uncommon item in the level range of 23 to 26.
Patch changes
Araga has mysteriously lost her tail stripes, making her look much more like a normal cougar. Blizzard explained that the stripes were a result of a graphical "anomaly".
- Patch 4.0.3a (2010-11-23): Level reduced from 35 to 24.

The third of Lord Eddard's legitimate children, Arya is the very picture of a tomboy, spending her time among the servants and their children, asking questions and playing games and avoiding all kind of of more lady-like pursuits. She exasperates her mother Lady Catelyn, who sometimes wishes she was more like her elder sister Sansa; it's no surprise that the sisters do not get along. Closest with her bastard half-brother Jon, like him she's the only other child of Eddard Stark who takes after him with her brown hair and grey eyes.
On the show, Arya started the show as being aged 11, whereas in the novels she starts at 9 years old.

MILAN (AP) - Since Jil Sander left her eponymous brand again last fall, the label has carried on with a team of anonymous designers.
MILAN (AP) � Since Jil Sander left her eponymous brand again last fall, the label has carried on with a team of anonymous designers.
Judging from next winter's womenswear looks previewed Saturday, the fourth day of Milan Fashion Week, the brand's minimalist DNA remains strong.
The mood was soothing, the palate permeated by the palest monochromes of gray, blue, sage, pink and peach -- with favorite black and emerald, a color of the Milan season, projecting more strength.
The silhouette and lines of the dresses are deceptively simple, but then the eye catches folds in the fabric, and what emerges is the form of a cross or a starburst or a bias-cut wave. Skirts are high-waisted and gentle A-lines, worn with turtlenecks. Hemlines fall to the knee.
There were no eye-catching adornments, buttons or zippers, not even on overcoats, worn with collars raised, with closures that remained concealed from view. Shoes were chunky laceups or wedge boots in sturdier shades of yellow, green, brown and black.
The show notes said the team's goal was to restate "the fundamental codes of the Jil Sander label, reinforcing the emblems of the house." Mission accomplished.

Cookie Monster: Almond Cherry Quinoa Cookies
Weekly recipes to serve with a glass of milk.
Get the Recipe
I remember the first time I had quinoa because it appeared, in all places, in my college dining hall. When I asked a woman who worked there if the quin-o-a was vegetarian (which I was at the time) she laughed in my face.
"The quion-o-a. Ha ha. Quin-o-ha. It's KEEN-wah, darling, and it is."
I smiled. Someone was going to have a good break room story. You're welcome.
I scooped up the keen-wah, accessorized my plate with tater tots, and headed off to eat. To be honest, I wasn't a huge fan. The little grains were hard and lacking much flavor. The also flavorless vinaigrette slid right off the quinoa into a greasy pool. It felt like a bad attempt at dining hall health food, and I would clearly spend my time at the fro-yo station instead.
After that first encounter, I didn't actively avoid quinoa, but I didn't see it around much either. My food landscape was made up of Bar's mashed potato pizza and mugs of chicken noodle Cup-a-Soup.
Fast forward to life post-college, when I once again ate like semi-normal human being. This South American grain was everywhere and I decided to give it another try. I realized that quinoa, when cooked properly, is a nutty, fluffy vehicle for sauces and salads. It's also a nice alternative to couscous or bulgur. I've even become a fan of adding it to baked goods, treating it almost as I do old fashioned oats.
If you're not a big quinoa fan, or even better, if you are, start with these cookies. The inspiration came from a recipe in Bon Appetit which I played around quite a bit, including swapping in cherries instead of cranberries and leaving out the oats altogether so that the quinoa could really shine.
The cookies have a warm sweetness, thanks to a combination of honey and brown sugar. Texturally, they're like oatmeal raisin cookies: soft with the occasional chew of dried fruit. Almond extract and slivered almonds impart a nutty flavor that's balanced by the tang of the cherries. They're made with whole wheat flour and overall get fairly high points for healthiness (on the cookie scale). Though I promise, no one will know.

Emerging information and communication technology (ICT) has had an enormous effect on the building architecture, engineering, construction and operation (AECO) fields in recent decades. The effects have resonated in several disciplines, such as project information flow, design representation and communication, and Building Information Modeling (BIM) approaches. However, these effects can potentially impact communication and coordination of the virtual design contents in both design and construction phases. Therefore, and with the great potential for emerging technologies in construction projects, it is essential to understand how these technologies influence virtual design information within the organizations as well as individuals' behaviors.

So I took a break and went out to my parents for lunch so that they could look after Bess while I did a bit more work.
The next thing I wanted to look at today, after having done some work on my presentation for the Digital Humanities conference in Hamburg, is the Alken Wetlands project I am going to be working on from Monday morning.
Over the last 50 years discoveries have been made in the Alken Wetlands (Alken Enge in Danish) of a large amount of skeletal material – thought to be sacrificed warriors from around year 1 CE. The project (a collaboration between The Department of Prehistoric Archaeology at Aarhus University and Skanderborg Museum) has received a grant from the Carlsberg Foundation to begin a research project this summer. We are going to start out with two months of excavation.
Once we get started I hope to be able to blog a little more about what we are doing on site – but for now I am looking forward to Monday and the start-up!
You can read more about the project and Alken Wetlands on Skanderborg Museums website.
Edit 3rd July 2012:
The start-up of the excavation went well and the first press-release is out via Aarhus University.

PHILADELPHA - New research is lighting up yet another reason for women to quit smoking. In a study published online in the journal Menopause, researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania report the first evidence showing that smoking causes earlier signs of menopause - in the case of heavy smokers, up to nine years earlier than average - in white women with certain genetic variations.
Though previous studies have shown that smoking hastens menopause by approximately one to two years regardless of race or genetic background, this study is the first of its kind to demonstrate that genetic background is significantly associated with a further increased risk of menopause in some white women who smoke. No statistically significant relationships between smoking, the gene variants under investigation and earlier menopause were observed in African American women.
While symptoms of menopause - such as hot flashes, anxiety and insomnia - can result in discomfort, embarrassment, and irritability, the onset of menopause is also associated with risks of coronary artery disease, osteoporosis, and death from all causes. On average, women enter menopause at around 50 years of age. However, the research team now reports that menopause may begin at an earlier age in white female smokers who are carriers of two different gene variants. While the genes themselves do not result in early onset menopause, variations of the genes - CYP3A4*1B and CYP1B1*3 - were found to increase the risk of entering menopause at an earlier age in white smokers. The genetic variants were present in seven and 62 percent of white women in the study population, respectively.
"This study could shed new light on how we think about the reproductive risks of smoking in women. We already know that smoking causes early menopause in women of all races, but these new results show that if you are a white smoker with these specific genetic variants, your risk of entering menopause at any given time increases dramatically," said the study's lead author Samantha F. Butts, MD, MSCE, assistant professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Penn Medicine.
Results of the study, which enrolled over 400 women aged 35 to 47 from the Penn Ovarian Aging Study, found that in carriers of the CYP3A4*1B variation, the average time-to-menopause after entering the study in heavy smokers, light smokers, and nonsmokers was 5.09 years, 11.36 years, and 13.91 years, respectively. This means that for heavily smoking white females with this genetic background, the average time-to-menopause was approximately nine years earlier than in nonsmoking carriers.
In white carriers of the CYP1B1*3 variation, the average time-to-menopause in heavy smokers, light smokers, and nonsmokers was 10.41 years, 10.42 years, and 11.08 years, respectively -- a statistically significant difference although not as stark as the findings for the CYP3A4*1B variant.
The Penn study did not examine why no statistically significant relationships between smoking, the gene variants under investigation, and earlier menopause were observed in African Americans.
"It is possible that uniform relationships among white and African American women were not found due to other factors associated with race that modify the interaction between smoking and genes," said Butts. "It is well known that race affects multiple features of menopause, and this could be another. Further investigation is needed to clarify this question."
In addition to Dr. Butts, Penn co-authors are Ellen W. Freeman from the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Mary D. Sammel, and Timothy R. Rebbeck from the Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics. Other co-authors are Christine Greer, University of Miami School of Medicine, and David W. Boorman, Drexel University School of Medicine in Philadelphia.
This study was supported by National Institutes of Health grant R01-AG-12745, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences grant 5P30ES013508-07, Perelman School of Medicine Translational and Clinical Research Center grant RR024134, and the Perelman School of Medicine Center of Excellence for Diversity grant.
Penn Medicine is one of the world's leading academic medical centers, dedicated to the related missions of medical education, biomedical research, and excellence in patient care. Penn Medicine consists of the Raymond and Ruth Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania (founded in 1765 as the nation's first medical school) and the University of Pennsylvania Health System, which together form a $4.3 billion enterprise.
The Perelman School of Medicine has been ranked among the top five medical schools in the United States for the past 16 years, according to U.S. News & World Report's survey of research-oriented medical schools. The School is consistently among the nation's top recipients of funding from the National Institutes of Health, with $398 million awarded in the 2012 fiscal year.
The University of Pennsylvania Health System's patient care facilities include: The Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania -- recognized as one of the nation's top "Honor Roll" hospitals by U.S. News & World Report; Penn Presbyterian Medical Center; Chester County Hospital; Penn Wissahickon Hospice; and Pennsylvania Hospital -- the nation's first hospital, founded in 1751. Additional affiliated inpatient care facilities and services throughout the Philadelphia region include Chestnut Hill Hospital and Good Shepherd Penn Partners, a partnership between Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network and Penn Medicine.
Penn Medicine is committed to improving lives and health through a variety of community-based programs and activities. In fiscal year 2012, Penn Medicine provided $827 million to benefit our community.

On the one hand, there's a burgeoning interest in a brand-new asset class. Called impact investing, it focuses on for-profit companies with a social mission. Enterprises from J.P. Morgan Chase to the Rockefeller Foundation , which estimate the market could grow to as much as $1 trillion over the next 10 years, have been trying to develop the area for several years now. And, by some accounts, there are thousands of so-called double- and- triple- bottom- line companies--businesses with a financial, social and /or environmental mission – – in operation worldwide.
On the other, however, matching impact investors with social enterprises – – another term for these companies – – is another matter entirely. There have been few effective platforms for linking up the two sides. (Social enterprises include anything from companies selling wind farm technology to organizations providing micro-finance to villagers in India.)
That is, until now. Recently, a growing number of efforts, from London to Singapore to New York, have sprung up to address that gap, many incorporating online systems into their platforms. "It's social technology for social change," says Adam Spence, founder of the Social Venture Exchange (SVX), a Toronto-based platform aiming to launch later this year. "Technology is the enabler."
For the moment, most of the activity is taking the form of online matchmaking services. Take SVX. It links via an online platform accredited investors with Ontario-based social enterprises of anywhere from $100,000-$25 million in revenues looking to raise $25,000-$10 million. To be included on the exchange, interested companies first have to go through an exhaustive vetting process that's largely done off-line to make sure they're not only viable enterprises, but also are the real McCoy, that is, companies with a serious social mission at their core. Then, they're listed on the platform, with the relevant information of interest to potential investors. After that, it functions much like any online dating service, according to Spence, with prospective investors reading over company profiles and then contacting them. Ultimately, transactions are conducted off-line.
That's only the beginning, according to Spence. With backing from TMX Group, which runs the Toronto Stock Exchange, among others, he aims ultimately to create a fully regulated public social stock market for Ontario for retail investors that would be conducted online. Getting to that point will take some time, according to Spence, due to both the technological complexity and the regulatory hurdles that need to be met. What's more, for now, most social enterprises are small. For a real public stock exchange to have legs, there needs to be a critical mass of companies large enough to be listed.
Disqus: What do you think about online marketplaces linking up impact investors and companies?
Similarly, another online marketplace for impact investors and companies, two-year-old New York-based Mission Markets, also aims to create a larger public exchange. To boost investor interest, according to CEO Sam Salman, they're engaged in an ambitious research project to collect data that, they feel, will prove how profitable social enterprises are compared to more conventional companies. But, down the line, they envision creating something even more ambitious: an online hub connected to social stock exchanges around the world, through which investors can get information about listed companies. Actual transaction orders would be made through a broker. "This would be an alternative trading system with many exchanges connected to an online information system," says cofounder Mike Van Patten.
Closer to becoming a reality is Impact Investment Exchange Asia , better known as IIX. It started about a year ago, when social entrepreneur Durreen Shahnaz launched a private online marketplace in Singapore with the intention of using it as a stepping stone to creating a public exchange. Called Impact Partners, so far it's raised $70 million of capital, listing 12 social enterprises with $5 million or under in revenues raising $1 million to $6 million , and "more than 100 in the pipeline," according to Shahnaz, and more than 120 investors. "It's allowed us to get our feet wet," she says.
But later this year, she plans to launch IIX as a public exchange through which actual trading will happen online. IIX is working with an exchange partner that has an already up and running platform it can leverage. Due to regulatory restrictions in Singapore, the exchange will be open only to accredited investors initially. But, eventually, according to Shahnaz, once it's a proven concern, the platform will be opened up to the general public. Says Shahnaz: "This represents a fundamental step in a big, global movement."

This sounds like an interlacing issue -- I suspect you are using some player that delivers 25 full frames per second to your display instead of somehow getting 50 partial fields from them or interpolating the fields into 50 frames per second. This is fairly normal when not dealing with progressive material (720p HD video, or 1080i HD or even SD video taken from source material such as film shot at 24 fps). Most players have options to enable one of any number of deinterlacers, some of which work better than others for selected movement. (There are many different commandline options for `mplayer', one of which will present the fields of a 576i video as 288-line images which helps decipher fast-scrolling text, for example.) If you are reproducing your video at your display's native resolution without zooming it to fullscreen, you can see each of the jagged lines matching one pixel vertical resolution. barrry bouwsma
