This Ain't No Mouse Music!
"A moving portrait of a man who constructed a new de facto family and life for himself from the music and musicians he kept falling in love with." — Elise Nakhnikian, slantmagazine.com
Producers: Chris Simon, Maureen Gosling
Photography: Chris Simon
Editor: Maureen Gosling
Sound: David Silberberg
With: Chris Strachwitz, Treme Brass Band, Davia Nelson, Richard Thompson, Billy Roy Morales, Ry Cooder, Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal, Archie Green, Lionel Batiste Sr, Michael Doucet, Jerry Brock, Henry Youngblood, Savoy Family Band, Clifton Chenier
Festivals: SXSW 2013
Since 1960 Chris Strachwitz has been the guiding force behind legendary roots music label Arhoolie Records. Born a German count, Strachwitz fled to America after World War II at 16. His passion for 'authentic' American music led him to track down musicians in barrooms, backyards and dance halls – and record them. Blues, Cajun, wild hillbilly country, Tex-Mex and New Orleans R&B: it's an astounding catalogue and, as this film makes joyously clear, he's still finding plenty that gets him jumpin'. Filmmakers Chris Simon and Maureen Gosling were long-time collaborators with the late Les Blank, whose films with Strachwitz feature here. They follow their man from New Orleans to Appalachia, encountering Ry Cooder, Clifton Chenier, Michael Doucet, Flaco Jiménez and a host of other musicians you will want to hear again.
"In This Ain't No Mouse Music!, their vivid portrait of an obsessive sonic sleuth, filmmakers Chris Simon and Maureen Gosling take a hip-shaking stroll from New Orleans to Appalachia and right into the very DNA of rock'n'roll. In this beautifully shot film, we come face to face with the creators of indigenous music, from the great Clifton Chenier to fiddler Michael Doucet, from Flaco Jimenez to the Pine Leaf Boys, playing songs that are endemic to their place and circumstance, to dialect and class, to climate and landscape.
Their music is now highly endangered by the merciless steamroller of pop culture, assimilation and commercialism, which makes Strachwitz's desperate pursuit to track down every last artist all the more urgent. But these songs aren't meant to be locked away in a Smithsonian vault to be decoded by folklorists and musical anthropologists.This film is a living cultural history with a soundtrack that bites and kicks and screams. Even 50 years later, Arhoolie's records remain alive, unruly and still so sharp that some songs can cut you right down to the soul." — Jeffrey St. Clair

hot backup
A technique used in data storage and backup that enables a system to perform a routine backup of data, even if the data is being accessed by a user. Hot backups are a popular backup solution for multi-user systems as no downtime to perform the backup is required. If a user alters the data during the backup process (e.g. makes changes at the exact moment the backup system is processing that data) the final version of the backup may not reflect those changes. Hot backup may also be called a dynamic backup or active backup.

The JUICE playlist is back, as always, with a discerning, sequential mixbag traversing music from the different camps. Get a bite!
LOL Boys – Changes (Ft. Heart Streets)
What's the buzz: IM buds Jerome Potter and Markus Garcia met online, decided to make music together, and well, their e-efforts so far have been nothing short of OMG.
Sounds like: The jazzy, quirky, soulful house equivalent of Koop.
Prediction: This LA / Montreal duo don't take themselves too seriously and that's a good thing. You'll have fun immersing yourself in their debut EP and light-hearted Gchat music videos.
Pleasantry – Window Gazer (Fauxe remix)
What's the buzz: Up-and-coming local producer Fauxe is bubbling up thanks to his fine remix work, such as this lovely take on Pleasantry's Window Gazer.
Sounds like: A woozy beaut that totally warps the original's elements (especially lead singer Samantha Teng's voice) into a ghostly dream.
Prediction: Pleasantry's already getting plenty of notice in the local scene but Fauxe's set to emerge in a big way. Expect more gems within his debut EP coming out of Phyla Recordings on 21 August.
XXYYXX – You Are Why I Am Invisible
What's the buzz: 16-year-old producer Marcel Everett wowed us with his Giraffage team-up and risqué video for his indelible single About You earlier this year – and seems like the kid's at it again!
Sounds like: A chilled, off-kilter beat that sweetly samples Sarah Vaughn's mesmerising Stardust.
Prediction: It's mental that his sound is so consistently fresh, and we think there's no stopping this fledgling beatsmith as he comes into his own.
Tuff City Kids – Begger
What's the buzz: Tech-house pair Philip Lauer and Gerd Janson (Tuff City Kids) are known as intriguing remix specialists, but their Bobby Tacker EP looks to finally unveil their first original material.
Sounds like: Thundering, Panorama Bar-esque house that manages to remain funky and sinister at the same time.
Prediction: Ostgut Ton has given them their seal of approval and so have we! Any educated dancefloor should go nuts over this classy combo.
Bwana – Baby Let Me Finish
What's the buzz: Plenty of young Canadian producers have been turning heads lately but Nathan Micay aka Bwana is hands-down, our favourite under-the-radar discovery.
Sounds like: An addictive, percussive track that playfully fuses a Ciarra cut with Mount Kimbie-esque synth textures.
Prediction: Bwana's style is deliciously substantive and truly remarkable. Look for the young'un to break away from the mounting pack of future bass pretenders soon enough.

I now have 3 pairs of these sandals
I do alot of water related activities at my local Y and my last pair of sandals disintegrated from the chlorine. So far, these sandals are comfortable, easy to slip on, and seem resistant to the ravages of the chlorine. I have a pair in tan, navy and hot pink... I think I'll be wearing them alot this summer as well (provided, of course, summer ever comes to the upper Midwest!)... I'll add more comments about durability once I've owned them a little longer.

CINCINNATI -- Aaron Boone insists he's not a power hitter, but he
certainly looked like one during the last few days.
As a result, Boone captured the National League's Pepsi Player of
Week award for the week of May 5-11.
In seven games, Boone led the Major Leagues with five home runs, 10
and a 1.174 slugging percentage. He also hit .391 (9-for-23) with three
doubles and eight runs scored. The third baseman delivered all of his
in Cincinnati's four-game sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals, who led the
Central Division when they arrived at Great American Ball Park to begin
"I don't want to explain it," Boone said. "I've just been getting
good pitches to hit lately. And I've been hitting mistakes."
Boone began his week in dramatic fashion, slugging a ninth-inning
run that broke a 4-4 tie and gave the Reds a 5-4 victory in Monday's
opener against St. Louis. He homered again in his first at-bat on
Boone highlighted his week and the series in Thursday's finale
the Cardinals, lining three home runs in four at-bats as the Reds
8-6. It was Boone's second career three-homer game, matching a feat he
achieved last Aug. 9 against San Diego.
"I definitely don't think I'm a home-run hitter," said Boone, who
was named Player of the Week for Sept. 7-12, 1999. "Obviously, I'm
going to
hit some, but don't get used to this."
For winning the award, Boone will receive a Tourneau luxury Swiss

AgeSuitable for Newborns & babies Up to 26 lbs.
Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 11 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by MommyMichelle Great Lounger works well and very modern I knew purchasing this was both for style and lounger. My 2.5 month old loves this (she's 14lbs). I put her in it and she usually just relaxes watching me and her big brother play. She stays content and never fusses. It matches well with our furniture but most of all she loves lounging in it. August 4, 2009
Rated 5 out of 5 by jaimeg Eco friendly, gorgeous! I fell in love with this rocker before my daughter was born and I searched high and low for an eco friendly option for a bouncer and found none. I'm so glad I splurged on this rocker, as my daughter LOVED it and used it all the time. I know some people complain of not having an activity bar, but one isn't needed at all times and the seat must be pretty comfortable because my daughter never complained in it and this thing was a life saver for me to be able to shower in the first few days, as I would just sit her in it right outside the shower. Needless to say, it's gorgeous! May 22, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Alice my son loves it he loves sitting on this and kicking like crazy! He just sits and watches me as I work in the kitchen or wherever. March 10, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by ecoin Style over function The bouncer is absolutely gorgeous. It is sleek and modern, and fits in beautifully with my house decor. It is so rare to find such a stylish baby item. However, you must purchase the $40 liner for infant use. Also the piece has no place for toy attachments, so I think it falls short in helping with development and stimulation. The baby bjorn bouncer is more light weight and has a toy bar, and is the same price. March 10, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by justwaiting Looks beautiful -- broken snap Our baby hasn't arrived yet, but we got the lounger as a gift a week or so ago. One of the seat snaps was broken, so I contacted Giggle. They suggested that I contact Bloom directly. I can't tell you how helpful they have been. They immediately responded to my email and said that they will ship me a new seat out this week. So far so good...though reading the other reviews makes me think that I should also register for the Baby Bjorn bouncer? September 16, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by magdalena great for infants i love this bouncer it is great my sister in law has it and her baby just loves to stay in it he loves to eat in there and it is so strong her older son always sits in it and he is preaty heavy its just the best cant waite to buy it when i get pregnent....love it...... October 21, 2009
Rated 4 out of 5 by lorraine Very sleek I fell in love with this product before I had my baby and it was a very coveted item on my baby registery. Admittedly it was its stylish and minimalist design that had me hooked. However, as a young baby my son didn't spend a ton of time in this rocker; it's not the easiest piece to carry around from room to room, etc. (fairly heavy), he did slide a bit in it, and he wasn't able to really rock himself. However, at around 7 or 8 months, he absolutely loved to climb in and rock, and, at amost 2, he still uses it today. Overall, you can't help but love the design and appreciate how it looks whether in his room or our living room, but if you can only buy one rocker, you may want something a little easier to move around the house. October 5, 2009
Rated 3 out of 5 by Janbee Baby needs to be around six months before use The bloom is advertised for newborns yet my baby (now 3 months old) can't sit in it without the snug. He slides around even with the straps as tight as possible, and there is no head support. Hopefully he will grow into it. July 1, 2009

washable seat pad?
Q:Is the seat pad on this lounger removable and washable? Can you explain the care instructions? Thanks!
A:The Coco Stylewood Baby Lounger seat pad is removable. The care instructions are hand wash only. A favorite of many of our customers is to add the Snug Liner, which is machine washable and presents a nice, breathable liner for easy, everyday care.

WIth the drain up thru the floor, how are you dealing with the vent to avoid an S-trap? As for height, there are rules of thumb, but often using that if you put in a deeper sink, the stub is too high. Take measurements on what you are putting in
I am installing a double kitchen sink in an existing room (new Kitchen). The drain will come up through the floor. Are there any preferences for 1) Stub height, 2) Drain centered or offset in the cabinet, anything else I should look out for or plan for? If you had some guideline dimensions that would be great!
WIth the drain up thru the floor, how are you dealing with the vent to avoid an S-trap? As for height, there are rules of thumb, but often using that if you put in a deeper sink, the stub is too high. Take measurements on what you are putting in
Since it is a new installation, and you are coming out of the floor, which is seldom a good idea, but done by DIYers and handymen frequently when they are not getting inspections, you can cut it to fit when you connect to the sink. Doing it your way it is seldom a good idea to locate the riser close to the sink's drains.

The cabinet is going against a finished wall under a window so up through the floor is how it will be installed (H2O also). I will need to install an air admittance valve. Wish I wasn't but they are leagal here and will have to do. I will adjust the height of the drain but what about the position in the cabinet... center drain front to back and left to right or some offset left to right, etc. Is there a better/preferred spot in the cabinet?
Depends somewhat on the shape and size of the sink you plan to install. You don't really want to waste most of the useable space underneath the sink by having it too far forward. Then, keep in mind it has to continue up as high as possible and still be able to remove the AAV for replacment. When I redid my mother's that way (it originally had an S-trap from the 50's), her sink was sized and located in the counter such that I could get all of this behind the sink and still make the connections, leaving her with a good portion of the cabinet for storage. You could also do it to the side near the back and not waste too much space, giving you access to the AAV. Depends on both the cabinet size and sink size.

You have to consider that wherever you place the riser it has to be far enough away from the sink drain so you can instll the P trap.

Update - Dining Room
So, I am waiting for my dining room table to be complete. I have attached a similar picture below.
The first picture is a before of the dining room and then second one is the start of the transformation of the dining room. I am not sure if I will go with these white chairs with the farmhouse table or I was thinking of having custom amish oak chairs made to match the stain of the table. Thoughts on that?
The next would be a rug. Would you suggest a rug? If so, I would get a wool rug that's a flatweave but should I keep my chairs simple and add a pop of color (brightness) with the rug?
Thanks so much for the help!!!
Updating in progress...
Barnwood Table ordered (same color and top just different style legs)
I hope you love your table when it arrives.
The DR hutch is pretty and you have it filled already with dishes. Love the rustic look of the table. You can always wait and see how you like those chairs. Then decide if you want to change to the oak ones.
I am a no rug person with tile floors. Easy to sweep and mop without them. You can add colors with prints on each side of the hutch. Just another possibility for your DR.
~Like sands through the hourglass
~So are the days of our lives
I'm loving your progress. If I were to do a rug, I'd probably go with something simple like a jute or sisal. I like how the chairs contrast with the table instead of match it.
I love the idea of that table with the hutch and yes, keep the white chairs. They're really nice and will tie the whole thing together. I like the idea of a rug, but like Beau said, it's much easier to clean up without one, especially if this is your main eating area.
Nice to have a fireplace in your kitchen!
I'm a little concerned about the white chairs being a little cheap quality. I have little ones and want the furniture to last a long time.
The other thought I had was this chair (arm chairs at the head of the table and armless on each side) What do you guys think of these amish, solid wood chairs in a custom stain to match the table?
Thanks much!!!
I like the idea of repeating the table stain via the end chairs. Though you can rest assured Amish furniture is well made to last and those chairs appear to be comfortable due to the style of the curved high backs, I would be reluctant to buy them on line. It is always best to test them in person.
Froo Froo - We have tested them in person. I just found a picture online to attach. There is a local Amish Home Gallery in town and that's where I would order them from. They are super cool and comfortable for a wood chair.
Do you guys think that these chairs would be ok with the "barnwood" style of the table?
Those are cool chairs!!!
Can you bring a chair home to see how it looks?
After my experience w/ a quilt and my kitchen , I gotta see in person anymore. LOL!!
My ability to visualize seems to have left the building!
The proportions of the table are a wee bit chunky for the china cabinet, which is OK for a more relaxed casual look. If however, you go with the wood chairs they will also be masculine and chunky.The cabinet will be a lone odd piece. I really like the chairs and the hutch being of similar style and color to tie the two sides of the room together. Also having the table being its own singular style usually works because it is so grounded to the space and can sit on its own.Maybe you can find better quality Louis Phillipe style cream kitchen chairs?

Here's a chair from Pottery Barn that could work with your table: http://www.potterybarn.com/pro...ey=cchairs-barstools
Also, upholstered chairs would contrast nicely with the heavy masculine table. This one provides a whimsical "country" feel: http://www.decorsouth.com/list...utxbYCFRQbnAodBV8AYg
Aychi, exactly the chair I had in mind, love how the arched back picks up on the curve of the hutch.
Just to give you an idea...this is the exact table that is being created for us. Just same color as table I posted above.
I fell in love with the amish chairs i posted a picture of and now I'm having second thoughts due to your suggestions. Uh oh!
I don't have a good sense of what things will look like until it's all in the room and i can see it so maybe you guys are right, maybe it won't work to have same color stained chairs and the table/chairs won't match with the hutch. mmmmm.....This message has been edited. Last edited by: Mommy4Life,
The custom table with its X-legs is gorgeous. Great choice!
I feel the Amish chairs, while beautiful in their own right, are not a good fit for the table -- even if the hutch were not a factor.
I know how challenging it is to find chairs for a table when you are trying to mix and match or coordinate with other pieces of furniture. I am too embarrassed to tell you how many times I've messed things up in the past.
That is why lately I have found that upholstered chairs are the best solution for this type of decorating dilemma: they can be made in any color or pattern you need. They add softness and comfort, especially when there are a lot of hard surfaces in the room.
If you can try out the Amish chairs and be able to return them without any hassle, that might help you better visualize how they look with the table.This message has been edited. Last edited by: aychihuahua,
I too agree that upholstered chairs would look great with the table. The concern of mine would be that this is my main (and only) dining area and I would be worried about stains. Once again...young children and we entertain a lot.
I hear you, M4L. Growing up we were a family of 7! The chairs my parents used were upholstered on the seat only; the fabric was replaced periodically. They took a beating! As we grew older and more civilized, we got new chairs with fabric on the back and seats.
You might consider chairs with linen or cotton slipcovers that can be laundered. Just a thought.
The other option could be to have the Amish Gallery custom paint the chairs an antique white to match the china hutch and place three on each side of the table (6 total)? and then find two upholstered chairs for the ends (head) of the table?
Here is my custom table. It is almost done. A few coats of finish and it's done! It will also lighten up a little.
So, seeing it close to this picture of the chairs, what do you think? (keep in mind these chairs would be custom stained to match the table) Or painted antique white.
If they're not a good "style" match, I'll go a totally different direction.
Here are some options for your table.
Use 2 of the Amish arm chairs (stained to match table). Those chairs need to work with the table color and not the hutch color (imho).
Then use the white chairs on the side. Add cushions if needed to bring color into the room.
There are stain resistant fabrics so that would not concern me. Easy to change out a few cushions. I always add a couple extra yards of fabric to have just in case of an accidental spill. Truly, have not needed the extra fabric in 8 years. Yes, kids and boys here too.
Here is a link so you can see some of the patterns in the fabric.
You can also order swatches to see them first which helps in making the final selection.
Good luck on your DR. The table is gorgeous and I hope you enjoy it for many years.
~Like sands through the hourglass
~So are the days of our lives
Update of the dining room with the new table!!! The picture does not do this table justice...it looks amazing! I also had a wine rack with railroad ties build too that's in the back left. Not sure if I'll hang it on the left or right yet.
As far as the chairs go. I love the style, weight, quality of the wood, stained amish made chair. The cream chair is from Pier 1. So, what are your thoughts? One arm chair at each end of the table and then have the same chair (without arms) painted cream like the pier one chair to put on the sides of the table? Or ...... ?? (Keep in mind the pier 1 chairs are a total different quality and weight than the amish chair (hence the suggestion of maybe getting the armless chair painted to match the hutch)
That looks really nice! I like both of the chairs but am drawn to the chair to match the china cabinet. To me it makes it fit with the table instead of having it be the only white thing in there. Your new table fit perfectly too!
Love the table, buffet and white chair.
It appears that the table leg will prevent you from using more than 1 chair on the long sides of the table. With that in mind I would forget that large armchair and consider the white armchairs or possibly an upholstered chair.
Thanks to both of you!
The stained arm chair actually looks huge in this picture for some reason. Just keep in mind too that I'm not keeping (or buying more) of the white chair from Pier1. The quality just isn't there for me.
The table also has extensions for each end (I will post a pic later) that will allow more chairs to fit easily. On an everyday basis, I will probably only have one chair on each side and a chair on each end. With guests over, I would have three chairs on each side (two may hae to straddle the "X" style legs) and then one chair on each end.
What about the stained style chairs. Two with arms stained to match the table for each end of the table and then 6 of that chair without the arms painted to match the china hutch for each side of the table (only one on each side of course when the extensions are not in place)?
And the walls will be painted eventually too so they don't clash so much with the china hutch.
It might look really nice with all of the chairs in white. I'm not sure about mixing stained and painted chairs. I do love the cabinet and table!
I think it would be cute to use the white chairs, but then use upholstered chairs on the ends of the table.
What about all stained chairs but adding the cream in another way? Table accents? Add pops of bright colors inside hutch....?
I think all stained chairs and the hutch painted an earthy shade of yellow, green, orange, or red would look nice.
it sounds like you really like the stained chairs, so go for it! If that's what you really want, it's your kitchen
The style of you table is so much more weighty and masculine looking in comparison to the china cabinet. If you add straight lined stained wood chairs the cabinet will not relate to the eating area at all. You need to have at the very least the two head chairs in cream. Other cream accents in the room like picture frames or accent tables aren't going to create the tie in you need to connect the table to the cabinet.
Love love the table & end chair.The curved arm rest & back.This room is coming together beautifully.That table is well worth every penny it cost.PRICELESS!!My DF built DM a hutch,buffet and farm table in the 1970's.Has ladder back chairs.It still looks brand new today.The hutch will be mine one day.DF built a sis a small hutch in 1990.My DD has it now.
Ok if this was my room-home.I personally don't like the white chairs.I know they will be painted to match the hutch,which will look stunning.I don't like the slats on chairs.I think they have too many slats on the back of chair.Does not match slats to end chairs.It is drawing my eye to look at it.I'd rather look at that table & end chairs.
I love the style & shape of chairs in the 1st pic.The backs match your new end chairs better to me.They can be painted too.
Can you return those to Pier1?I would like a more plain back chair with simpler backs.If not I'd live with them.You could add cloth chair toppers to tone it down.It could be a coridnating fabric.Just my thought if this was mine.This message has been edited. Last edited by: jackierenette,
Ok. So I went ahead and ordered two stained arm chairs and the rest stained armless chairs. I just decided in the end that I liked that better.
What about painting the hardware on the china hutch a bright color? Yellow, orange, green, turquoise.....?
And then I was thinking a table runner to match the china cabinet and maybe a bright color in it that would match the hardware placed from side to side of table like this...

Video: Apple's iPhone 5 draws crowds in Samsung's home turfDecember 7, 2012: 10:30 AM ET
Record pre-sales and customers lining up in sub-zero temperatures
FORTUNE -- In contrast to the ho-hum launch of the iPad mini in China, the iPhone 5 made a pretty good splash Friday in South Korea, home of Apple's (AAPL) chief smartphone rival, Samsung.
According to the local Yonhap News Agency, the launch -- delayed from Apple's original schedule due to "procedural errors" registering the device with the government -- managed to draw crowds despite sub-zero winter temperatures.
SK Telecom (KRX), South Korea's largest carrier, held a pre-dawn launch party with munchies and live music. Rival KT (KT), the No. 2 carrier, reported that pre-orders in the first two hours topped the record set a year earlier by the iPhone 4S.
Moody's Investors Service estimates that as of October, Apple's iPhone had an 11% market share among the country's 31.4 million smartphone users.
Below: Video of the KT launch.

3rd-Ranked Saints Take Two at Limestone Tournament
GAFFNEY, NC – The 3rd-ranked North Georgia softball team picked up two more wins on Saturday afternoon, topping 20th-ranked California (Pa.) 7-0, before blanking the University of Charleston 8-0 in five innings on the opening day of the Saints Invitational on the campus of Limestone College.
North Georgia continues their hot start to the season, improving to 15-2 overall on the year, while 20th-ranked California falls to 4-3 with a split on the day, and the University of Charleston falls to 1-6 on the year after dropping a pair of games.
Ansley Williams got the Saints off on the right foot in the opening inning as she led off and belted her second home of the year, a blast to left field to give North Georgia a 1-0 lead. The Saints would plate two more runs in the frame, capped by a single off the bat of Callie Fernandez to send Katherine Martin home and make it a 3-0 lead.
North Georgia added two more runs in the sixth inning as Maleah Cousinsau reached on an error, allowing a pair of unearned runs to come across and extend the lead to 5-0.
The Saints would add two more runs in the seventh inning as Kasey Knight reached on a bunt single, and Hilary Cox followed and belted her fourth home run of the year, a two-run shot to centerfield to send North Georgia to a 7-0 victory.
Jessica Coan (6-1) got the start and lasted 6.0 innings, allowing just one hit and no runs, while striking out 11 and walking three. With six more scoreless innings, the junior lowers her earned run average to 0.17 on the season.
Game two featured plenty of offense again as North Georgia scored a pair of first-inning runs, using a groundout by Knight to bring Williams home, and Katherine Martin followed and singled to send Pilar Harden to racing to the plate.
A four spot in the third inning extended the lead to 6-0 as the Saints used the long ball again to spark the offense. Williams led off the frame with her second solo home run of the day, and Pilar Harden followed three batters later and drilled a two-run homer to make it a 5-0 North Georgia lead. Fernandez coaxed a bases loaded walk to cap the four-run inning as the Saints added singles runs in each of the next two innings for the 8-0 victory.
Krysten Connelly (3-0) remained perfect on the year with the complete game shutout, allowing six hits and striking out two in all 5.0 innings of work.
The Saints return to action on Sunday afternoon, taking on Newberry College at 1:30 p.m. and tournament host Limestone College at 3:30 p.m.

Has it always been this way?
Sounds like a water restriction. Could be at the valve, or if it has always been this way, could be debris somewhere in the pipe.
I have a four zone system, all with 4 sprinkler heads. Zones 1,2 and 4 work great. The sprinklers in zone 3 do not pop up when the zone is on although water is flowing out. If you manually pull all the sprinklers up the sprinklers in this zone work great and seem to have good pressure. The sprinklers will not work correctly until all four are pulled up. Any ideas?
Has it always been this way?
Sounds like a water restriction. Could be at the valve, or if it has always been this way, could be debris somewhere in the pipe.
Could be a break in the pipe too. If this was after a spring startup, then maybe some water got into a head and it busted. Might have enough pressure to work, but just not get going.
As for the water restriction, I'd check the valve first. With most, I think you can see them turn if you watch it get activated. See if it turns as much as the others, or turn it on manually and see if they pop up.
Yes we bought the home with it, and had the problem then,Originally Posted by PEW
but didn't know it!
Jason also made a good point that I overlooked. If you are in an area where a pipe could freeze, it could be a cracked pipe if the system was not winterized properly. If that is the case, you will probably find a rather wet area in your lawn.
Finding a wet spot isn't always too easy. Depending on how deep the pipe is buried, you may have to let each zone operate for a fairly long time before the wet spot gets to the surface. You might want to cap the sprinklers and then turn the zone on for several hours.

Recent environmental features
Behind the scenes of Showtime's blockbuster series on climate change
(04/18/2014) For years climate change activists and environmentalists have been clamoring for a high-profile, high-impact TV series about climate change to make Americans more aware of an issue that will affect billions of people around the globe in coming decades. This week they finally got it when Showtime released the first episode of Years of Living Dangerously, a big-budget TV series featuring a number of Hollywood's biggest stars as reporters and corespondents.
Next big idea in forest conservation? Maps for the masses
(04/18/2014) Mark Mulligan makes maps for the masses. In his work on tropical forests, Mulligan uses GIS, modeling, remote sensing, and lab experiments to turn research into datasets and policy support systems, which are available online for use in development, decision-making, and education.
Is Aru safe? Indonesia suspends plan to clear half the islands' forests
(04/17/2014) Aru, an area made up of about ninety-five low-lying islands in the Maluku province of eastern Indonesia, has suspended a plan to clear half of its total forest cover for sugar cane. However, the island paradise is still not safe from large-scale deforestation, according to a report from Mongabay-Indonesia.
Climate change solution? UN touts ambitious (but cheap) investment in renewable energy
(04/14/2014) The world is warming rapidly due to greenhouse gas emissions, threatening everything from our food supply to our ecosystems, but the solution may be surprisingly cheap, according to the third and final report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The report recommends a rapid and aggressive switch from fossil fuel-based energy to renewables.
Next big idea in forest conservation? Empowering everyone to watch over forests
(04/10/2014) Nigel Sizer has worked on the forefront of global forest issues for decades. Currently, he is the Global Director of the World Resource Institute's (WRI) Forests Program, whose projects include the Global Forest Watch, the Forest Legality Alliance, and the Global Restoration Initiative. These programs work with governments, businesses, and civil society with the aim of sustaining forests for generations to come.
A new face for palm oil? How a small co-op is changing the industry in Honduras
(04/10/2014) Expanding oil palm plantations are among the top reasons for deforestation globally, along with cattle ranching, timber, and soy. However, a small palm oil production outfit recently became the first cooperative in the world to achieve Rainforest Alliance certification for sustainable growth of African palms, employing a number of innovations to ensure the prosperity of both forests and local communities.
Giant ibis, little dodo, and the kakapo: meet the 100 weirdest and most endangered birds
(04/10/2014) The comic dodo, the stately great auk, the passenger pigeon blotting out the skies: human kind has wiped out nearly 200 species of birds in the last five hundred years. Now, if we don't act soon we'll add many new ones to the list: birds such as the giant ibis, the plains-wanderer, and the crow honeyeater. And these are just a few of the species that appear today on the long-awaited EDGE list.
Nearly 90 percent of logging in the DRC is illegal
(04/08/2014) The forestry sector in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is completely out of control, according to a new eye-opening report. Put together by the Chatham House, the report estimates that at least 87 percent of logging in the DRC was illegal in 2011, making the DRC possibly the most high-risk country in the world for purchasing legal wood products.
Saving rainforests by buying them
(04/04/2014) For more than twenty five years, an international non-profit known as the World Land Trust has been working to protect tropical forests through land purchase and partnerships with local groups. Last year, the U.S. arm of the group decided to rebrand itself as the Rainforest Trust to better convey its core mission to the outside world. Since then, the Rainforest Trust has launched its most ambitious project yet: conserving 5.9 million acres of tropical forest in Peru.
How locals and conservationists saved the elephants of Mali amidst conflict and poverty
(04/02/2014) At a time when Africa's elephants are facing a relentless poaching crisis, one community has managed to safeguard their elephants in the most unlikely of places: Mali. In a country that has suffered from widespread poverty, environmental degradation, and, most recently, warfare, a collaboration between conservationists and the local community has kept Mali's elephants from extinction.
Bioluminescent bacteria expose toxic arsenic in Bangladesh
(04/02/2014) A knob turns, and pure water streams from the faucet. In developed nations, this expectation borders on being a fundamental human right. Elsewhere in the world, tap water is a pipe dream, while finding potable groundwater can be a full-time occupation laced by lethal threats—such as arsenic contamination.
Apocalypse now? Climate change already damaging agriculture, acidifying seas, and worsening extreme weather
(03/31/2014) It's not just melting glaciers and bizarrely-early Springs anymore; climate change is impacting every facet of human civilization from our ability to grow enough crops to our ability to get along with each other, according to a new 2,300-page report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The massive report states definitively that climate change is already affecting human societies on every continent.
Next big idea in forest conservation? Quantifying the cost of forest degradation
(03/27/2014) How much is a forest really worth? And what is the cost of forest degradation? These values are difficult to estimate, but according to Dr. Phillip Fearnside, we need to do a better job. For nearly forty years, Fearnside has lived in Amazonia doing ecological research, looking at the value of forests in terms of environmental or ecosystem services such as carbon storage, water cycling, and biodiversity preservation. Fearnside then works to convert these services into a basis for sustainable development for rural populations.
Kala: the face of tigers in peril
(03/27/2014) In 1864, Walter Campbell was an officer in the British Army, stationed in India when he penned these words in his journal: "Never attack a tiger on foot—if you can help it. There are cases in which you must do so. Then face him like a Briton, and kill him if you can; for if you fail to kill him, he will certainly kill you." In a stroke of good fortune for the tiger, perceptions in India have changed drastically since Campbell's time. Tiger hunting is now banned and conservationists are usually able to rescue the big cats if they become stranded while navigating increasingly human-occupied areas. But is this enough to save the tiger?
Europe approves vet drug that killed off almost all of Asia's vultures
(03/25/2014) When Europeans first arrived in North America, they exterminated three to five billion passenger pigeons (Ectopistes migratorius) in the short span of a century through a combination of habitat destruction and hunting. In 1914, the last living passenger pigeon perished at the Cincinnati Zoo. Despite the staggering scale of this extinction event, three species of vulture from Southeastern Asia retain the dubious distinction of having had the most rapid population crash of any avian fauna. They might not have begun with numbers as large as the passenger pigeon, but within the space of a single decade, their populations were reduced by 96 to 99 percent.
Long lost mammal photographed on camera trap in Vietnam
(03/25/2014) In 1929, two sons of Theodore Roosevelt (Teddy Junior and Kermit) led an expedition that killed a barking deer, or muntjac, in present-day Laos, which has left scientists puzzled for over 80 years. At first scientists believed it to be a distinct species of muntjac and named it Roosevelts' muntjac (Muntiacus rooseveltorum), however that designation was soon cast into doubt with some scientists claiming it was a specimen of an already-known muntjac or a subspecies. The problem was compounded by the fact that the animal simply disappeared in the wild. No one ever documented a living Roosevelts' muntjac again—until now.
Meet Iman: the Sumatran rhino's newest hope for survival
(03/24/2014) Hopes for one of the world's most imperiled megafauna rose this month when wildlife conservationists succeeded in catching a female Sumatran rhino named Iman in the Malaysian state of Sabah. The female, which experts believe to be fertile, has since been successfully transferred via helicopter to the Borneo Rhino Sanctuary where experts plan to mate her with the local male, Tam. Located in Tabin Wildlife Reserve, the Borneo Rhino Sanctuary is an uncompleted semi-wild enclosure and home to one of several last-ditch efforts to save the vanishing species from extinction.
Community's push to clear forest for plantation challenges efforts to conserve in Indonesia
(03/20/2014) In the swampy peatlands of Basilam Baru in Sumatra's Riau Province a conflict between a community and a woodpulp company is illustrating some of the intractable challenges of conserving forests and addressing deforestation in Indonesia. On first glance the story seems depressingly familiar. One actor wants to preserve the forest, which serves as critical habitat for endangered Sumatran tigers and clouded leopards. The other wants to clear it for a plantation.
APP pledges to restore forests, if given the opportunity
(03/18/2014) Over the past 20 years, Sumatra's lowland rainforests have been destroyed at a virtually unmatched rate and scale. Since 1990, the island's primary forests shrank by 40 percent while its overall forest cover declined by 36 percent, mostly the result of logging, agricultural expansion, and conversion for oil palm and timber plantations. What little forest does survive is often degraded — today less than 8 percent of Sumatra retains primary forest.
Will zero deforestation commitments save Indonesia's forests?
(03/17/2014) Skirting the Malacca Strait near the Indonesian city of Dumai the air is thick with haze from peat fires burning below. As the sky clears, a landscape of sharply-cut geometric shapes becomes apparent. What was once carbon-dense peat forests and rainforests are today massive oil palm and wood pulp plantations.

I Am not an expert but it could a spine, made up of a few vertebrae. It could be off a plesiosaur, but I think Surrey has land based dinosaur fossils so it could be off a megalosaurus. If it is a megalosaurus spine it is rare, but it also could be a large piece of an ammonite. There is about a 10 percent chance of it being a spine and a 90 percent chance of it being an ammonite. If it's of an ammonite it's a very large specemin.
Hi Dino
It is the outer whorle of a lower cretaceous hetromorph ammonite called Tropaeum bowerbanki.
It is from the lower greensand - ferruginous sands, Isle of Wight although you can find them in other areas around the U.K it looks about the same size and preservation as the ones we have collected on the island.
Hello Dino
Please see below an image of a similar ammonite to yours, we found this on the I,W many years ago but it is poorly preserved.
Because it was our first big ammonite we have kept it.

Palin denies climate change realities on first day as McCain's running mate
Palin denies climate change realities on first day as McCain's running mate
"A changing environment will affect Alaska more than any other state, because of our location. I'm not one though who would attribute it to being man-made. "
I guess Palin spends her time reviewing climate science as reported on Newsmax and other media outlets (read: Fox News) bent on ignoring and confusing the warnings from top scientists at the nation's most prestigious scientific academies, like NASA and the National Academy of Science.
As the National Academy of Science rightly points out, the link between greenhouse gas emissions and climate change is an age-old scientific finding dating back as far as the 1800's:
"The theoretical realization that human activities could have a global discernible effect on the atmosphere came during the 19th century, and the first conclusive measurements of atmospheric change were made during the last half of the 20th century."And the link between the massive upswing in heat-trapping greenhouse gas, human activity and major disruption to the earth's climate system in the 20th century is also a scientific reality. According to the National Academy of Science:
"The first greenhouse gas demonstrated to be increasing in atmospheric concentration was carbon dioxide, formed as a major end product in the extraction of energy from the burning of the fossil fuels–coal, oil, and natural gas–as well as in the burning of biomass."
Palin's apparent ignorance on the contemporary science of climate change speaks to a much bigger issue about US science policy in general.
If Palin is willing to ignore such robust science concluding catastrophic effects on our climate systems due to our ever-growing over-consumption of fossil fuels like coal and oil, what other scientific realities will a McCain administration be willing to ignore at the behest of its second-in-command?
UPDATE: Here's one other scientific reality it looks like Palin will ignore, courtesy of Brandon Keim at Wired Science.
UPDATE #2: Greenpeace just sent out a comprehensive look at Palin's history on environmental issues (attached to the bottom of this post).

"For how many years must the planet cool before we begin to understand that the planet is not warming?" - Geologist Dr. David Gee About Dr. David Gee
(note: please convert massive url's using a tiny url in the DeSmog comment section: http://www.tiny.cc/)
Remember how Steven Goddard backed off his earlier claim that the Arctic ice isn't retreating and all is well? Well, we at the International Journal of Inactivism have uncovered the True Story behind Goddard's retraction:
Ah yes... the whereabouts of the obligatory man smoking a cigarette (or maybe a cigar). I think that'll need more research and peer review by, well, someone.
Meanwhile, ever noticed how "Oreskes" and "Revkin" sound like Russian names? (I can hear it now: Bwahahahahaha...)
=="For how many years must the planet cool before we begin to understand that the planet is not warming?"==
How stupid to people have to be to fall for that argument.
He's cherry picking 1998 and 2008.
Even though those two had really strong positive and negative ENSO's those year.
Once again, it seems like the only argument that the skeptics have is swinging back between.
"The Climate comes down to one variable, and if CO2 doesn't by itself explain EVERYTHING, then it can't explain ANYTHING."
"The climate comes down to unlimited variables, and therefore it's impossible to know anything! So we should just hope for the best and assume that it's not a problem."
The funny part is when you have Skeptic Pundits making BOTH arguments are the same time.
Good catch there, David.
Also, models can't predict climate accurately, and models can predict climate accurately but they've obviously been rigged to do so.
We need more research, and anyone who tries to do more research is just greedy for funding.
and yet the only real solution to the CO2 problem (if it's a problem) are generally put forward by skeptics - yep I'm talking about massive nuclear power programs.
I have no idea what most alarmists want to do about the problem. Seems like mostly nothing - except talk ... and buy bigger boats.
Yeah! Why do alarmists hate nuclear power? It must be because they are in cahoots with the Phantom Soviet Empire! They want to weaken the military power of our great nation, so that they can hand it in a silver platter to the Bolshevists, the Arabs, and the New World Order!
She also think creationism should be taught alongside evolution.
The war on science continues...
Edited: I added the comment before I saw the Wired link.
Sarah Palin may have "got" what NWS Tom Ainsworth said about global warming in 2006:
Tom Ainsworth, a panelist and the Meteorologist in Charge of the Juneau Weather Forecast Office said:
"It's not necessarily a bad thing," Ainsworth said, adding that the planet continuously goes through climate-change cycles. "It's a natural thing. But if we can use our information of these cycles to improve our lifestyle, then I think we should." ...
NWS has a staff of 5,000 meterologists and hydrologists in 124 offices throughout the US.
NOAA NWS directors and managers have failed the public on their mission to educate, warn, and protect citizens of the US, and the environment for the future.
"NWS has a staff of 5,000 meterologists and hydrologists in 124 offices throughout the US" ... implying that Tom Ainsworth speaks for all of them. That's quite a leap, isn't it?
Here's another NWS Meterologist in Charge who voiced his skepticism to the media and public:
"Bottom line is we're not really sure what is causing global warming or if it is even going on," ... "It could be a combination of human causes and natural causes."
Mike Stewart is the meteorologist in charge of the Duluth National Weather Service office.
May 15, 2006
Duluth, MN
and there's more (I was NWS employee from 1976-2006).
That's two. And of course they're both weathermen, which is tantamount to asking a taxi driver how to build a car.
Many at NWS have misled the public on climate change, list
below for 2005-2006:
Jack Kelly, NOAA Dep. Dir. 2005, NWS Dir. 1998-2003
David L.Johnson, NWS Dir.
John Jones, NWS Deputy Dir.
Dennis McCarthy, NOAA NWS Services
Gary Foltz, NWS Central Region Acting Dirr, KC MO
Michael Looney, NWS Central Region Dep. Dir.
Daniel Luna, NCRFC Hydrologist in Charge, Chanhassen MN
First the Katrina anniversary, then Gustav comes in as Katrina the sequel and now a global warming denier who is also a denier of evolution. Does McCain deliberately want to loose?
So if she denies global warming and evolution does she deny the law of gravity?
I see no such implication. Typical denier hysterics.
A politicial that has the back bone to speak the truth in the face of the establishment AGW morons.
This lady is obviously well read and intellegent. She will make a first rate VP.
She may have read these in fact:
Hysteria over global warming has gripped the affluent countries of the world.
Thirty Years of a Failed Democrat Energy Policy
I think its a great choice. As hysteria over AWG climate change tanks in all respects, Obama morphed into everymans political chippy and chose an old sage as a running mate to add credence to a lightweight candidacy, Mcain camp chose a bright attractive tough woman with a reform history who thinks AWG is bunk. The political trajectory looks right...Iraq is cool, fuel costs are high at the hands of liberals. It will be an interesting race.
"As hysteria over AWG climate change tanks in all respects ..."
Eliminating your hyperbole by substituting "concern" for "hysteria", what proof do you have that this is "tanking"? All I see are repeated assertions of that claim in the denier blogs. In the real world, concern continues to mount.
Until now, if I were a Yank, I would have been unable to to vote for president. Obama is a "nothing" and McCain has swallowed the AGW glop. Now, with a tough sceptic to balance the ticket, McCain is at least semi-palatable.
Streetcar and Rick C : Are you claiming that Palin is a creationist or merely sufficiently liberal to be willing to give the ID crowd a piece of the podium? Creationist doesn't seem compatible with the rest of her personna. Links? (Other than the Wired hatchet job.)
http://scienceblogs.com/afarensis/2006/10/27/intelligent_design_and_the_ala/ has a few other samples linked:
Her father was a public school science teacher.
"My dad did talk a lot about his theories of evolution," she said. "He would show us fossils and say, 'How old do you think these are?' "
Asked for her personal views on evolution, Palin said, "I believe we have a creator."
She would not say whether her belief also allowed her to accept the theory of evolution as fact.
"I'm not going to pretend I know how all this came to be," she said.
Seems creationist, no? At the very least, she obviously believes creationism has the same scientific merit that evolution does and that there's a scientific controversy on it to teach about -- both objectively false.
But that doesn't stop Gary from noticing she rejects AGW and concluding she's well-read. Odd, that.
AGW is tanking in all respects?
Can you show me one major science organization and/or association that has changed it's official position on the subject from that of the consensus? I can find a few that have restated to agree, but none to the opposite.
Your Friday morning libertarian coffee klatsch doesn't count.
...not 35,000. You are off by an order of magnitude. Also I know of no polling done at the Oslo convention. There were some hostile-to-IPCC presentations and Q&A, and a 'debate' or two at the end. But there was no polling.
If there were, it would not be scientific, as Geologists are likely to be biased in favor of oil, coal, and other mineral exploration interests. The presentations and Q&A were apparently weighted against the IPCC...but this is not quite the same thing as a Consensus™ among the geologists present.
my source:
section 10 and 11 deals with the climate debate.
31000 on the Orogon petition.
5100 in Alberta
4000 in Coenhagen
400 on the Inhof list
500 at the YC climate convention.
And No I pay no attention to the silly attempts to discredit the orogon petition. It is just so much AGW BS and pretty much everyone knows it.
Nowhere in my post did I use the term "Climate Scientist".
Since I don't (And neither does the IPCC) consider AGW the sole domain of climate scientists, I listed scientists that disagree.
AGW is far too broad of a subject for any one discipline to claim full understanding of.
Geologists for example have a much better view of the big picture than people who only study CO2 try desperately to show how it controls everything.
And as for lying, I believe you guys have that covered all too well with your dishonest attempts to discredit the Oregon petition with obvious and completely debunked claims of inaccuracy.
I realize how much you hate it, but the truth is emerging and you can't stop it.
Signs of sanity emerging:
MICHAELS: Record low for climate science
Ever since Soviet and Western climate scientists published the first international compendium on global warming, back in 1985, we have known that scaring people to death is very good for the environmentalist business.
Lest we forget!
The most prominent AGW lie circulated regularly by alarmists.
"The IPCC's Over Whelming consensus of 2500 of the world's leading climate scientists."
In Fact there were some 2500 scientists.
Approximately 600 of them were climate scientists.
Of those, Less than 60 were on the team that produced the infamous chapter 9 statement claiming 90% certainty that "half" of the warming in the 20th century was "Mostly" due to man made CO2.
Many of the rest were not in agreement with that political statement but had no infleuence to change it.
Lies, Damn Lies and Political statements!
Heh, fun.
It's David Evans.
He's an Electrical Engineer telling the world he knows best on matters of climate science. (Oh, and that he's secretly a Rocket Scientist)
Where he finds that obvious lies are the the only way to make his argument.
"So when Evans wrote:
The greenhouse signature is missing. We have been looking and measuring for years, and cannot find it.
He meant that we had found the signature, but Evans didn't think it should count."
And of course the usual BS arguments such as:
"Evans: The satellites that measure the world's temperature all say that the warming trend ended in 2001"
When clearly thats just cherry picking 1998's strong ENSO.
This guy is just pathetic
there are no observations by anyone that implicate carbon emissions as a significant cause of the recent global warming.
On the contrary, there's no scientific institutions in the entire world that say that carbon emissions aren't a significant cause of recent global warming.
Lastly, he makes the usual argument that since carbon doesn't cause ALL climatic events throughout the history of the earth. Then it can't possibly be causing ANY thing.
When clearly we're dealing with multiple climatic variables.
and the primary variable over 10,000+ year time sclaes is changes in the earth's orbit.
He doesn't even possibly consider the factor that we've thrown the natural order of things completely out of whack.
This guy is worse than Tim Ball, or James Inhofe.
He doesn't even try to put up anything more than pathetic strawman arguments.
The reality is that climate change is happening and the answer to the 'Why' is our carbon emissions - but Palin and NWS Dan Luna have been misleading the public about the 'Why'.
NWS Dan Luna, Meteorologist in Charge at the National Weather Service office in the Twin Cities told the Minneapolis Star Tribune:
"It would be hard-pressed for anyone to argue that we're not seeing evidence of warming. 'Why?' is another question, ...
I really thought this had to be a joke - I can't believe you actually admit to such utter stupidity in public!?!
I can't believe anyone with an IQ above 15 could really fall for all this denial stuff.
Just hang on kids, you are totally right!:
The Earth IS Flat!
And the Earth revolves around the Sun.
And smoking is good for you.
And Bush is a great intellect
And God hates gays

The INHECO CPAC and shaker devices require a power supply, temperature controller and optionally a rpm controller. INHECO offers three so-called "TEC Control" units to provide these functions, integrated in one device:
* Multi TEC Control MTC
* Single TEC Control STC
Up to 2009, the TEC Control 96 was the standard TEC Control available for controlling the INHECO heating & cooling devices. Connected through RS232 and utilizing a Watlow temperature controller, the TEC Control 96 is being replaced by the MTC/STC product family, offering state of the art technology. MTC/STC are equipped with interchangeable slots to connect to different INHECO devices, providing maximum flexibility. The MTC/STC can be operated manually using the touch screen display or through the USB interface. The soft- and firmware of the controller allows programming of complex temperature and shaking sequences. The MTC/STC use basically the same firmware, so no additional integration work is required once one of the two devices has been integrated. Both STC and MTC are prepared for use in customer IVD applications.
The MTC can handle up to 6 different CPACs or shakers simultaneously and independently, providing maximum flexibility for larger applications, the STC controls 1 device.

Twenty-year-old Korbynn Stallbaumer is constantly on the run these days, juggling classes at University of Saint Mary in Leavenworth with college basketball for the Spires and her drag racing career.
But with her first Heartland Park track championship within reach, Stallbaumer isn't about to let racing take a back seat.
With four races remaining in HPT's E.T. Bracket Racing Series, Stallbaumer leads the Sportsman standings by 239 points over Nick Siebert.
"It's been a lot tougher this year (to juggle things) because we're doing a lot more weekend basketball practices, so I have to make those up on my own,'' Stallbaumer said. "I tell (the Saint Mary coaches) that I'm in the running for the points (title) at Heartland Park and they're very understanding, thankfully. They support me.
"As long as I get my own workouts in, I'm good to go.''
Now the objective for Stallbaumer, who went to the final four in the E.T. Finals at Brainerd, Minn., is to close out what has been a banner racing season with a bang.
"This is my first full year with the car that I have and I had two weekends back to back where I was the runnerup,'' Stallbaumer said. "This is the best season I've ever had of all 12 years of racing, even in the Jr. Dragster. It's exciting.''
Stallbaumer will compete at HPT Saturday and Sunday before the final two races of the year on Oct. 22-23.
Solid performances over those two weekends could bring her the coveted championship.
