A list of quantities of ingredients is not copyrightable. What is copyrightable is an author's original description of a dish or the process of making that dish. For example, you cannot copyright the idea of making a drink from 4 oz of grapefruit juice and 8 oz of sparkling water. You can, however, copyright a description of how refreshing this combination is on a hot summer afternoon. You can also copyright a detailed description of your favorite way to mix the ingredients together, and why you do it that way.
If you are like most Society members, you like to play around with recipes when you make them. Perhaps you read three or four recipes for the same dish and then construct your own using ideas from each. Posting the results of such an experiment is clearly within bounds, and is encouraged.
Suppose, however, that you make a recipe with exactly the ingredients that appear in a copyrighted recipe belonging to someone else. If you post this ingredient list, along with your own description of how you made the final dish from the ingredients, then you technically have not violated the letter of copyright law. However, we ask that you not make a habit of entering recipes in this way.
Instead, whenever a recipe you enter is based on or inspired by someone else's recipe, we hope that you will acknowledge the source or your inspiration in the recipe's introduction. Something simple like, "This is based on Mark Bittman's recipe, but I use more peanut butter than he does, and I also add jalapenos, which I think makes all the difference in the world." Doing so acknowledges both the source of your inspiration and your own innovation in respectful ways.
This policy, which is incorporated by reference in the Society for Culinary Arts & Letters member agreement, was last updated in July 2012.

Best little lunch place in the area....the atmosphere and food are great!!! – What a great surprise. Stopped in for a quick lunch and didn't want to leave. I was expecting an OK lunch but instead feasted on cabage rolls, a cheese soup and finished it off with a piece of their chocolate candy cake. I can't stop thinking about it and will be going back soon with my friends. There was group of red hats in the cafe at the same time and they were having so much it cracked me up. You gotta go.

Bought to help rebuild my native Long Island after Sandy.
Appearance: Amber with a small white head that quickly recedes to the perimeter.
Smell: Sweet malts, piney hops, caramel, mango.
Smell: Piney hops and sweet malt blend nicely and fade subtly into a dry finish.
Mouthfeel: Decent carbonation and medium bodied.
Overall: A decent IPA for a good cause. Glad that I could contribute to help the island on which I live.

look: 3 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75
Pours a clear pale copper color with a short off-white head that settles into a sparse cap. No lacing on the glass.
The hops dominate the aroma but are not very strong. The hop profile consists of citrus hops, orange and grapefruit, to go along with a subtle tropical fruit note, pineapple. Its a nice bright aroma but not very strong.
The flavor is bready, with a hint of toast. Metallic and caramel notes give the beer a sort of EPA base without any buttery flavors. A hint of lemon gives the brew a drying characteristic. The hops aren't all that flavorful but are noticable. Some grapefruit notes give the profile some brightness. This is coupled with a grassy/asprin hop flavor that provides an earthy note. Overall, the beer has a steely flavor that is typical of East Coast IPAs. Very much reminds me of the IPAs I drank back in the late '90s.
Moderate body with crisp carbonation. Sweet malt body that quickly is offset by a gentle bitterness. A bit dry in the finish. Drinks well.
A well intentioned brew. Living on Long Island, the assistance is very much needed for Barrier Brewing of Oceanside, which got destroyed. The beer is ok, more of a middle of the road IPA. Not as much of a mess as I feared, with 8 brewers with their hands in the pot.

Picked up a bomber of this for the (cash only) price w/ tax of $18.49. I don't paying to help support LI breweries, especially helping fellow LI residents and the very nearby Barrier Brewing Co.
Served @ room temp in a nonic.
A - Bright white head with ample lacing and good retention. Brilliantly-clear gold color. Very appetizing.
Ar - Hops are the showcase. Aroma is all american hops - pine, grapefruit and a touch of earthy pepper. Reminds me of cascade, simcoe and amarillo, but I am guessing. Very resinous. Malts do balance somewhat, but are subdued even @ room temp.
T - Hops dominate again, as they should - this is an IPA despite the (relatively) low ABV. Pine up front, followed by a well-balanced sweet malt/hop bitterness that makes this beer highly drinkable and quite good. Not a hop bomb, but hop forward for a non-west-coast style IPA. A good example of a well thought out IPA brewed to style (ABV excluded). Dries out slightly on the finish leaving a touch of lingering bitterness, but still appealing.
M - Fairly substantial body given the hop-forward nature. Definitely medium-body. Carbonation is touch light for my tastes, but it does not take anything away from the quality and enjoyability.
Overall this is a terrific collaboration. I must admit that I'm not overly familiar with a few of the breweries participating since I have not tried their normal offerings, but I'm now a believer. If you can get your hands on it and stomach donating to a worthy cause, give it a whirl.

Apparently this beer would be extremely hard to find. I heard some places only got 1 case, if anything.
Beautiful caramel colored body. Excellent clarity. Decent lace.
Floral american hops in the nose. English style malty whiffs as the beer warms.
Piney hops upfront. Slight citrus. Followed by a very tasty, slighty roasty malt backbone. Lingering bread, charcoal in the aftertaste mixed with left over hop bitterness. Very complex for such a low abv beer. Different. This is an excellent american IPA. One that has a formidable malt profile. I like malty ipas like this. Great balance too. Makes it easy drinking and the complexity gets you coming back as well.
I paid 16 bucks for the bottle. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Such a large collaboration and they nailed it.

On tap at Horace & Sylvia's in Babylon
A - Amber pour with a tan foam the settled quick. Rings of lacing left on the glass. Some carbonation is visible.
S - Strong scent of fresh hops. A distinct fragrance of mandarin oranges gives this a nice citrusy kick. Fresh herbal aroma as it lingers.
T - Initial sweetness is followed by a pungent bitterness of hop oil. A tad harsh but has a very fresh taste. Some herbal notes are in the finish. I swear I picked up oregano, though I did have htis with dinner.
M - Good sessionable IPA that feels heavier than it actually is. Slightly carbonated. The hoppy vibe takes hold of your taste buds.
O - Nice beer and really for a good cause, which is why the craft beer fraternity is full of stand up people. I think its represents well and I'd gladly continue to support by buying more.

Had it on tap at the Lark in East Northport last night (1/28/13): pours clear copper color with a small 1 finger off white head that faded quickly and left basically no lacing, but rings as it went down.
Smells of fresh piney hops, floral hops, grapefruit, biscuit, caramel, lemon zest, coriander, orange peel, herbs and light spices; really nice, soft hoppy nose that is pretty well balanced and just smells like a crisp fall evening...good stuff.
Tastes like it smells, with grapefruit, lemon, orange peel, citrus hops, piney hops, biscuit, floral hops, toasted grains, caramel, wheat breadtoast, light brown sugar, grass, herbs, tea leaf and light spices like pepper and coriander; nice crisp hoppy flavor, that tasted fresh and like dry hops were added in the mix. The malts and grains provided excellent balance to make flow down easy.
Mouthfeel is light, crisp and almost so light it's watery, but it has enough body to be smooth, tasty and enjoyable, with light carbonation and just an overall easy way about it; it's almost too easy to put down, and with the low ABV it is a definite session beer. This is how a session IPA should feel, to me.
Overall it was very easy to drink, smooth and light enough to drink all night. A great collaboration for a great cause, I recommend this beer. It was definitely a session IPA and light but still had a nice hoppy flavor and nose that both seemed very fresh; it was almost in the range of being as good as the Lagunitas DayTime IPA. Go Long Island brewing, this is what it's all about.

On draft at The Lark, East Northport, NY.
Poured a medium brassy hue with a two finger frothy white head. There was very good retention and lacing.
The smell featured a predominantly piney hop with some grapefruit and a light crackery malt.
The taste was certainly hop forward with waves of pine a dry citrus atop a thin and grainy pale malt. There was a full prickly residual hop bitterness.
The mouthfeel was clean and a touch thin with ample carbonation.
Overall a light sessionable pale ale. I know it is for a very good cause but I feel that the beer was nonetheless overhyped.

From a bottle into a nonic pint glass.
This was a brewed at Blue Point by a few LI breweries coming together to help both Barrier Brewing and LI residents who where effected by Hurricane Sandy.
A: Poured a nice light brown/copper color with 1 finger head. This was a darker than I expected for a session beer.
S: Mainly malt and some slight hops.
T: Still getting mostly malt, with only a hint of citrus hops if I really search.
M: Light-Medium mouth-feel with good carbonation for easy drinking.
O: This is just an OK beer, way too strong of a malt profile for me, being this fresh and a sessionable IPA. There are better examples of this "style" out there that really provide the hop punch you want yet, with low ABV.
I was happy to support the cause and especially Barrier Brewing after the storm, so I paid the high price for this beer (something like $18) but wish it was more enjoyable and had some real hop flavor.

I live on Long Island, and as far as the craft brewery offerings here, I am proud of it. I am a huge fan of Blue Point brewery, and when I heard they and a slew of Long Island breweries were coming together for a cause, I couldn't help but swell up with a sense of pride I did not think possible.
Got to try it on tap first, which I had enjoyed, but I might have perhaps enjoyed the bottle just a tad more. Unfortunately, I am doing this review from memory... here goes.
Poured a nice honey-ish gold/copper. Had a about a finger's worth of head.
The smell was hoppy, but not in the least bit overbearing. What one would expect an IPA to smell like.
Taste however, was not your traditional IPA offering. It had a bit of the bitters, a nice hoppy bite to it, but it lacked an overbearing strength, which I suppose earns it its title of "session IPA." The thing I thought interesting was that it was quite reminiscent of Blue Point's White IPA. Not a bad thing in the slightest.
Was pleasant in the mouth. Danced around the tongue. Had a feeling and consistency that was partially watery but with a tiny bit of viscosity to it.
I enjoyed this beer quite a bit. The 17 dollar price tag was steep, but it is for a good cause, and I had a giftcard to burn. If you can get your hands on it, I'd say it is worth the try.

Serving was a 22oz bomber poured in a pint glass
A - Copper in color. Small white head that didn't stick around too long. Some lacing which was nice.
S - I didn't get much on the nose. Pine and some Grapefruit. A bit of Floral character as well.
T - Pine. Bitterness up front. The bitterness doesn't stick around long. Dry/Clean finish. Not a lot of malt backbone.
M - Light to Medium/Light. Nice carbonation.
O - I'm on Long Island. Been following the progress of the beer since it was announced. Love every brewery that was a part of this beer. I almost just want to rate straight 5s for the meaning alone but I'm going to rate it for what it is to stay honest. It's a good sessionable low abv IPA. If I were to give it a letter grade I would probably say B to B+ but my heart wants to say A+++

A- medium copper, pour with a nice, billowy head. nice lacing to the glass, considering the abv.
S- light citrus fruits, grapefruit, with a piney/sprucey punch layered on top. smells incredible- again, unexpected with the lower abv
T- Citrus, mango, pineapple, PINE, PINE, and bitterness. Expected much more malt from this beer given the color, but there is almost no malt character (seems like all Pils malt, but color proves this to be wrong). High bitterness and pithy notes, citrus fruit skin. Loved the flavor and wanted to drink more.
M- Crisp, refreshing. Nicely carbonated, mid/high attenuation, leaves palate dry and wanting another sip. Little bit of bitterness stays on the back end of the tongue.
O- Great project, by a wonderful group of breweries. 2013's version of "Super Friends IPA", but a session IPA version for Charity by Long Island breweries. Kudos to everyone who helped make this beer happen!!
** My high ratings are based on what this is... a "SESSION IPA". Although there is no category on BA for Session IPA yet, I'm sure there will be soon. This cannot be compared to other "American IPA's" due to the body and abv that this beer lacks in comparison to others in this category. **

From 22 ounce bottle, just released on 1/22/13 $16 per bottle proceeds to benefit Long Island Cares & Barrier Brewing Company.
Aroma is light citrusy. Pours amber with large beige head, very full. Nice lacing of glass.Taste is crisply citrus up front, very light acid aftertaste. On the mild side for an I.P.A. Certainly one of the best in the style I have tried so far!

Not speaking for the Prince of Peace
Sunday, February 03, 2013 3:01 AM
Ron Bowell has an annoying habit of distorting facts. By comparing the 23 executive orders about gun violence to Prohibition and adding that, at least, Prohibition did not occur by executive fiat, Bowell slyly insinuates that President Obama is a dictator out to confiscate guns (Salina Journal, 1-29-13).
In a Jan. 16 op-ed, the conservative site Forbes.com posted a list of the 23 executive orders and drew three conclusions: limiting assault weapons and large ammunition magazines requires congressional action, laws about keeping and purchasing guns have not changed, and attempts to create a constitutional crisis or accusations that the president overstepped boundaries hold no validity.
I actually read the 23 executive orders. Most address the need for a functional system of background checks. Others cover research on gun violence, promoting access to mental health care and sharing model plans for emergency situations.
Please tell readers how you came to the conclusion that these executive orders are designed to restrict guns, Mr. Bowell. If you are unable to do so, then your commentary is nothing more than shilling for the $32 billion firearms industry. Hardly something I expect from a person who claims to speak on behalf of the Prince of Peace.
-- DEBORAH BAILEY, Lindsborg

He and the rest of the Republicans are using exaggerations and lies to undermine the health plan. The first exaggerations is their claim the plan will cost taxpayers too much money. But the plan is projected to pay for itself after 10 years at no long-term cost to taxpayers. The holier-than-thou Republicans outright lie when they say a person who chooses not to be insured will pay a tax penalty that will be deducted from any IRS withholding or refund. The Supreme Court ruled the tax would be unconstitutional. Yet, they keep trying to convince the American people the Affordable Care act is a tax plan when it's not.
Among other things, the new health care plan closes the Medicare prescription drug "doughnut hole." It would bar insurers from charging higher premiums based on a person's gender and medical history or deny coverage based on pre-existing conditions. And that should benefit senior citizens.
Starting in 2014, seniors who have supplementary insurance to Medicare can change providers without being denied coverage for pre-existing conditions or other health problems. Currently there are three types of premium pricing for Medigap (supplementary) policies: community-rated, which means you pay the same monthly premium as everyone else who has a supplemental policy, regardless of your age; issue-age-rated premiums, based on your age when you first purchased the insurance; and the attained-age rated, the real money-maker for insurance salesmen. It bases a person's annual premium on their current age, so every year on their birthday the premium automatically increases. It's almost impossible to opt out of and sign up for a community-rated policy, which is less expensive, because they won't accept you if you have any pre-existing conditions. So you're stuck with a lifetime of high premiums.
Women and children will benefit the most. Thanks to President Obama, low-income, uninsured pregnant women will no longer have to stand in emergency room lines waiting to deliver their gift to mankind because they do not have their own doctor or insurance coverage. Instead, they will have their own family physician providing them with prenatal and hospital care like every other woman. All women will be covered for cancer screening exams and preventative health options that could save their lives and keep the family intact.
Children in need of urgent and lifesaving health care cannot be denied insurance coverage because of an insurer's cap on coverage; and families will no longer have to lose their homes or file for bankruptcy because their insurance was canceled or they lost their job. Why would anyone in their "right" mind be opposed to insurance that provides health needs and fiscal stability for all Americans in their time of need?
This is the second time in history that Romney's state of Massachusetts led the push for mandated insurance coverage. Republican Gov. Alvan Tufts Fuller, who became one of the wealthiest men in America with "the world's most successful auto dealership," also led the way for mandatory auto insurance. In 1925, Connecticut passed a financial responsibility law requiring any vehicle owner involved in an accident with damages over $100 to prove "financial responsibility to satisfy any claim for damages, by reason of personal injury, or death of at least $10,000." Massachusetts followed this logic and passed a "compulsory" law that required automotive liability insurance as a prerequisite to vehicle registration. Massachusetts was also the first state to enact no-fault auto insurance in 1971. After serious debate in Congress, mandated auto insurance was left to the states not federal government.
Romney maintains that health care is a state issue not a federal issue similar to auto insurance. He is half right and all wrong. Under the Patient Protection Act, all states have to start their own insurance exchange program to assist people to find coverage; if they don't the federal government will do it for them. Just think how many of your new family health insurance options would be lost if Romney gets elected in November.

I hope this is not the real and final m7, htc can do better than this!
4. MeoCao (unregistered)
We geeks naturally want new design all the time. But building on success is the proven strategy. Butterfly is successful and very cost effective design so it's understandable HTC uses the design for M7.
SS has been doing the same thing. Actually all SS phones now look like GS3 and sell by truck loads.
6. tiara6918 (Posts: 1242; Member since: 26 Apr 2012)
Yeah most of us want a new design and I suppose htc is now trying not to put all its attention on build quality(design is one example). In my opinion, the design of the butterfly(with those red colors), one x and even sensation are more attractive than this leaked m7 pictures. But since they're moving on with a new strategy(innovation ), let's just see how it goes
20. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
Agreed. But the design of this phone is more like an android version of the WP 8X than butterfly/DNA. Anyone who disagrees with me, you're welcome to thumb me down.
21. MeoCao (unregistered)
I disagree, this design has curved glass screen which is raised from the borders, 8X has flat screen.
The similar features are minor like the speaker...
27. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
both droid DNA and 8x have curved glass screen, just so you know :)
28. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
both 8x and DNA have curved glass display.
30. terabyteRouser (Posts: 406; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
but this phone looks better than any samsung phone and people buy those like hotcakes
2. joshOps85 (Posts: 31; Member since: 09 Jan 2013)
no different to butterfly
8. RaKithAPeiRiZ (Posts: 1223; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
it looks like a 8X
3. MeoCao (unregistered)
This looks credible, very handsome device. It looks like Butterfly which is not bad.
Hopefully the phone will have new cool features more than Butterfly beside the screen size.
5. flower99 (banned) (Posts: 54; Member since: 18 Nov 2012)
agree, i always love sense. But ever since i saw xperia z, i fell like every poly device overshadowed... I hope its not final design...
7. RaKithAPeiRiZ (Posts: 1223; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
looks like the designer was a bit lazy ,
17. Feanor (Posts: 273; Member since: 20 Jun 2012)
I agree. HTC never managed a high quality design. They were always good with high quality of materials and good construction but not with design itself. All my product designer acquaintances always regard HTC design well below Apple, Nokia and Sony. I am afraid that for me even Samsung is doing better than HTC in terms of design, apart from materials used.
23. lkjhg755 (Posts: 85; Member since: 21 Nov 2012)
HTC one x had a great design at the time, it both looks and feels better than the older Sony and Nokia models. I mean Sony did catch up later last year but I wouldn't call HTC behind. (Though is it just me or did the DNA look little lopsided.)
25. Feanor (Posts: 273; Member since: 20 Jun 2012)
Well, hmm... I knew that my comment would be unpopular here but I speak only about my experience. No one I ever asked found HTCs good looking. They have a generic soapbar design and undefined detailing. Or sometimes really thoughtless design like the old Sensation with its cheesy rear. I'm constantly asking people and usually the iPhone comes on top of their preferences and now the Xperia Z is all the rave. I have the suspicion that maybe I'm not the only one who thinks like this, because this may explain why HTC is suddenly doing so bad recently, even if their models from a spec point of view are always near the top.
29. gwuhua1984 (Posts: 1237; Member since: 06 Mar 2012)
Hm... for some reason all the people I know think HTC designs are good looking, except they wanted power of design, so they went to SGS3.
9. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Sense 5 offers some bits from windows phone, it seems ..just makes it better looking
10. thelegend6657 (unregistered)
I don't want sense to be toned down . One of the reason I like sense other than its beauty is the in your face BOLD approach
11. RaKithAPeiRiZ (Posts: 1223; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
same idea here , sense was different because it was very bold and clean , this looks like they applied dry paint over vanilla icons and steamed ironed them flat
12. bayhuy (Posts: 262; Member since: 23 Jun 2011)
Looks awesome!
13. uchis (Posts: 11; Member since: 22 Nov 2011)
weird placement of home button ...
14. amiroo (Posts: 269; Member since: 03 Sep 2012)
woww there is very beautifull monster..
sense 5 is unique..very sipmle and clean..
like it..go m7
15. wildcard (Posts: 65; Member since: 15 Jan 2013)
it will be a great phone like people was saying about samsung galaxy s3 is to big or is urly an see what happin an that what it count
16. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5482; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
the M7 could be the beginning of a new love affair between HTC and myself. i'm liking the looks of this phone (aside from the capacative keys) and the looks of Sense 5 kind of a lot right now. o:
33. Berzerk000 (Posts: 3643; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
It looks a lot like the WP 8X, maybe with slightly more rounded edges... I mean, the 8X is a good looking device, but I was hoping there would be something that set it apart from the rest of HTC's previous lineup.
Also, the status bar reminds me of Gingerbread for some reason, just like it did on the One X. Other than that, I'm liking Sense 5.0.
34. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5482; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
yeah, i do kind of wish the 8X's design language would stay exclusive to their Windows Phone lineup and their Android line-up gets a different treatment but this isn't a bad thing either. like you said the 8X is a good looking device. o:
yeah, HTC's status bar isn't that great looking, there's definitely still some HTC stuff that i still don't like here but from the look of that launcher with the icons and the widgets it looks like this is a good start.
35. Berzerk000 (Posts: 3643; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
It is a good design, but being too repetitive is a bad thing; unless you have a lot of reputation and hype like Apple has, and even they are starting to slip. The 8X was kind of like a smaller, more angled One X with minor face changes, and this M7 is kind of in between there. And something in general I haven't been too fond of in HTC devices is their power button, it's hard to distinguish from the rest of the device with just your finger, and lacks a good tactile feel.
Sense is getting better, just not quite there yet. So far, this is definitely a step up from Sense 4.
I love HTC, but some of their hardware and software elements are getting weary.
18. takay0 (Posts: 142; Member since: 25 Mar 2012)
so far... i dont like the sense 5
its a beautiful phone... lets hope it will have a good software as well
19. kobainez (Posts: 292; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
Why isnt the home button at the middle?
22. lkjhg755 (Posts: 85; Member since: 21 Nov 2012)
I was hoping for the more 8x style but dont understand why they didn't just make it look like a one x. which was praised its design but let down on specs, a phone with top end specs and that amazing design would be unbeatable.
24. OhSo3D (Posts: 39; Member since: 22 Feb 2011)
I wonder if the "EVO" variant of this device will take on a different design que. Hmm.. hopefully it does.
26. bayusuputra (Posts: 941; Member since: 12 Feb 2012)
Flippy clock is now GONE?!
31. terabyteRouser (Posts: 406; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
i guess u guys want flames decorating the back of your phone or something. how much can you do to a phone without going overboard? iphone has had the same stupid design for years. people aren't throwing a hissy fit over those
32. PapaSmurf (Posts: 6616; Member since: 14 May 2012)
That looks like T-Mobile's 4G indicator in the status bar. o:

Rain Suit Size Chart
Comment: Bought a pair of these Rain Suits before our big 4k trip, just in case. We ended up riding through 3 and a half days of down pour rain though Canada. We stayed completely dry the entire time. These suits are easy to get in and out of, very quick to dry out at the end of the day. And the price.... Incredible. It saved our trip. Best purchase I've made in a long time. Excellent quality.
Comment: Perfect for peace of mind when riding when there is a chance for showers or worse! Light weight. but durable. Thanks for fast delivery!
chapel hill nc
Comment: Very durable and comfortable one piece rainsuit specially for the low price that I paid. You could expect to pay double at retail stores. The suit folds up nicely in my saddle bag for the unexpected down pour.
Greenwood IN
Comment: I've got a longer torso. Coveralls, and one piece rainsuits, regardless of brand, ALWAYS bind my crotch, with the exception of this rainsuit! What luck to finally find a one piece rain suit that's comfortable!!
I'm 5'11", 180 LBS, 42" chest, 34" waist, and the medium fits great while wearing a cool weather textile jacket that has armor.
Nice suit for the money, only thing, the one I received was all black with a white "V" across the chest. No gray shoulders like the picture. I can live with that, this suit is a real value!!
Kentwood MI
Comment: I live in N.H. and this suit is made the way a rain suit should be,nice heavy material that does the job!!!! Great price and nice people!!!!
Comment: Purchased this one piece because of the excellent price and the fact that it comes in a 5xl size. I can finally put a rain suit on over my leathers with room to spare ! Extra long zipper makes entry and exit very easy. Have only used it in light downpour but seems it will hold up well when the skies open and it pours.
Comment: I was skeptical that such a cheaply priced rain suit would have any quality to it. But I needed one and didn't have a hundred bucks, so I rolled the dice. Much to my surprise it seems to be a very well built and rugged suit. I have used it a couple of times and have remained completely dry. The only negative I can possibly see with this suit is the insides of the legs could use something to make them heat resistant in the event you touch it to the exhaust.
Comment: Very nice suit. Order a size larger to fit over your clothes and you will be a happy rider even in the rain because you will not be getting wet. Would buy this product again from Jafrum. Ride safe.
VTX 1800R Rider
Comment: I always use a 1 piece, and this suit has a great seal on the front velcro/zipper. Awesome value.
Comment: Fast shipping,great qulity.just ordered another item.ill be back.
manchester tn.
Comment: This suit is a good value for the money, watertight closures, sturdy, not too hard to get on and off. No venting of any kind, so you can be sweltering pretty quickly on a warm day, but with that in mind, it is an excellent buy.
Joe HOOD
Ambler, PA
Comment: I bought one on clearance for 18 bucks + shipping. The first time the zipper came off track but went back on easily. It's one peice so that's a HUGE BONUS! But I have a gut, 6'2" 340lbs, fits for my height - 4xl - very well. I usually take a 3xl, but they only had 4xl. Glad I got it. I can't easily get in it with a big biker jacket on; but it will go. I wonder if the zipper will give. The zipper has a velcro flap over and an inner flap fold that will block water from blowing in if the zipper fails. All in all, get a bigger one if you want to wear a coat in cool weather/rain under it. It's a great thing to have a ONE Piece too! Definately! Just got it and it takes up some serious space in one bag, but I can still get a gallon of milk in there likely, and some little stuff, if I roll it right. All in all it looks and wears great, except for those details. IF you don't have a gut, then it might fit with your regular size with a coat on. J

Comment: I've used it 3 times now and it works great. Keeps me dry. Great Price, I'll probably buy another for a spare.
Republic of California
Comment: Thank you Jafrum for this all in one suit. I ride a scooter daily 200+ days a year. This year we've had tons of rain and I've gone from a poncho, to a 2 piece suit. Neither got the job done of keeping me comfortable and rain free. This suit has done it. Additionally I love the large sized because I wear the suit over my work clothes and even my co workers are amazed at how dry I am on rainy day. I even bought 1 for my motorcycle riding husband. Don't wait or hesitate, buy this suit!
Washington, DC
Comment: Bought one of these rain suits and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the suit for the price I paid!! Make sure you follow the sizing chart because I was going to buy one size larger for my leather jacket but found I did not need the larger size. Would definitely recommend these suits, a true bargain.

Comment: Awesome Rain gear for the price .Fast on Delivery
Thanks JaFrurm
Comment: My daughter and I wore these suits through some of the worst weather I've ever seen and we stayed dry, I was surprised because we traveled through it on and off for 8 hrs. I'm 6'4 and 240lbs, the 2x fit me and my HD Jacket. I Highly recommend them.
Big Mike
Atlanta GA
Comment: Very nice quality at a low price. I was impressed when received my rain gear. This keeps the rain off when you're on the freeway. I was reluctant on the size but there's plenty of room in a medium.
Comment: Works great, fits great. I'm 6'2" and thin, ordered a M and I'm glad I did. (normally order L because of height). The one piece is really easy to put on in a hurry, and it keeps the rain out, unlike a 2 piece when rain rolls down your back. Also it's really warm. Maybe too warm for Florida summer rains. But winter will be nice. Only thing I could suggest to the manufacturer is to move the pocket to the left leg, so when I have to reach for a towel to wipe my visor, I don't have to let off the gas. Thanks Jafrum!
Comment: Used this suit during a return from a long out-of-state trip. Suit is great and I would purchase it again.
Comment: Recently traveled in freezing weather and rain, have waterproof textile gear but typical riding gear does soak up quite a bit of water and may ultimately fail. In heavy rain and in freezing weather, adding this thin layer over riding suit made a huge difference. Fairly durable but can be torn if you are not careful. Tall boots recommended. I have shorter length and found it best to keep bottoms unzipped so they hung over the boot while riding. With tall waterproof boots and appropriate gloves, you can go anywhere.
Comment: Fast shipping, Great fit. Workes great. Keeps you very dry and breaths well.

Comment: Bought the one piece rain gear and my husband loves it. He said that it kept him warn and was very easy to zip up. I am very happy with the purchase.
Michele P

Comment: Tested on multiple occasions in this tropical country.. dry as much as possible, just the neck area where water drip in from the helmet.. torrential rains are no issues so far.. good buy.. easy to dry.. considerably compact for its size
Comment: I have waited to write a reveiw until I have used this in the rain. Well....yesterday it rained....Hard. I rode 20 miles through a hard rain and arrived home bone dry. This was not a all day ride, but the suit seems to be a good bargain. It packs back down to about the size of a football. Packs small and is pretty light.

Comment: is and excellent rain suit. and I dont see the Reflective Material in the front and back for night time visibilitye
I and purcharser 3 units.
Bernal campos
San Jose Costa Rica.
Comment: Rode to Gettysburg bike week knowing it was going to rain. For the last 90 miles it rained every step of the way. I could not be happier with the way I stayed dry with this suit. Now I have to order boot covers.
Comment: This is a very good one piece rainsuit. It keeps you dry in a rainstorm. Always order a size or so bigger so you can fit it over your clothes. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to be able to ride in the rail. Packs into a space about the size of a football; I always keep in in a saddlebag-you can never predict the weather!.
Peter Burkey
Fort Wayne, Indiana
Comment: Arrived quick. Fits right.
Comment: Bought this rain suit to travel to sturgis this year. Great Investment for the trip. Rode through rain going and coming home across five states and never got wet, .dry as a bone. My buddies were not so lucky with their two piece suits. Mine is still in great shape and ready to go again.
Comment: the rain suit is great. good price too. very happy with purchase
Comment: Quality far exceeds expectation. Buy on the small side. I am 5.10 and 155 and the small is a bit bulky.
But overall a great suit. Used it the day after receiving it and several times since and have learned how to quickly roll it up for fast under-seat storage.

Comment: I got this suit in 2xl to fit over my current rain gear and jacket-Im 5:11 185. It works great as last layer of insurance and keeps the cold out.
Easy to get in/out of. For the price point, excellent.

Steven Pike
A rain suit is a necessary item in any rider's apparel collection. Even if
you don't ever plan on riding in the rain, there are some things that are simply
not in your control. If you have ever gotten soaked to the bone with cold rain
30 or more miles away from home, you probably already own one of these. Rain
suits are made in a variety of styles and materials most of which are available
on our website, Jafrum.com
The Thunder Under RS5002 one piece rainsuit is made from nylon. Nylon is a good
fabric for a rainsuit because it is lightweight, easy to pack, and somewhat
breathable. It can also be very reasonably priced. This complete suit with all
of the features I'm about to show you is on sale on Jafrum.com for less than
forty dollars. The only downsides to nylon as a rainsuit fabric are that it is
not flexible, although most rainsuits aren't flexible, and it doesn't hold up to
sunlight very well. All that means to you the rider is that you don't want to
lay it out in the sun for extended periods of time to dry. If you take proper
care of a nylon suit it will provide you with protection from the elements for
many years and miles.
This rainsuit is one of the best values available in this type of apparel, and
It is available in this one color way. The suits are primarily black with a
white accent panel across the chest and back and gray shoulders.
This rainsuit has a
durable plastic zipper that is covered by these dual panels and secured with a
hook and loop system to ensure a waterproof closure. It is also askew to allow
you to unzip down into the leg area making this suit easy to get on and off. All
the seams are tape sealed to keep the water out. The single pocket on the front
of the suit has full width hook and loop closure making it nearly completely
The fit on this jacket is true to size and takes your clothing or protective
gear into acct. I'm a medium in most clothing and I own this suit personally and
the medium fits perfectly. There is a stretchy band all the way around the suit
to reduce buffeting at speed. The cuffs of the sleeves and pant legs also have
stretchy cuffs with waterproof, zippered expanders for easy on and off. The only
features that are missing on this rain suit that would be nice are maybe some
adjusters on the sleeves and some stirrups on the legs. Sleeve adjusters are
nice to have to keep the jacket quiet especially if you ride a bike with little
or no wind screen and stirrups help keep your pantleg down and water out of your
boots. There also aren't any heat resistant panels on the legs of this suit but
at less than 40 dollars, this suit is still one heck of a bargain.
The interior of the RS5002 rainsuit has been equipped with a mesh lining. This
will help wick moisture away from your skin and also keep the rain gear from
sticking to your skin when you start to sweat.

Posts Tagged: Tithonia
Touchdown! At Last!
For months, I've been waiting ah, so patiently (well, not always s-o-o-o patiently) for the gulf fritillary butterfly to touch down on our Mexican sunflower, Tithonia.
A perfect match, I figured. The showy reddish-orange butterfly (Agraulis vanillae) sipping nectar from the equally orange and showy Mexican sunflower.
No such luck. Every time I'd check the yard for the special butterfly-blossom scenario, it was always landing on something else: multi-colored lantana, lavender lantana, and the passion flower vine (genus Passiflora).
And occasionally, a pomegranate tree or tomato plant.
Oh, sure, it did visit the Tithonia, but it would vanish before I could grab the camera.
However, on Sunday, following the San Francisco Giants' game, I was thinking orange. Bright orange. Baseball orange. I stepped outside, and voila!
Touchdown! The perfect match!
The butterfly lingered long enough for me to capture its image, a side view of its silver-spangled wings, as well as a bird's eye view (Please, scrub jays, don't eat my butterfly.) It then fluttered off to the passion flower vine.
The gulf flit was once prevalent in the Sacramento area in the 1960s, but "it seems to have died out by the early 1970s," according to butterfly expert Art Shapiro, professor of evolution and ecology at the University of California, Davis.
It's been making a comeback in the Sacramento area since 2009.
Sunday was a perfect comeback day. And a perfect touchdown day!

Lying in Wait
They're ambush predators.
Here you are, a bee, touching down on a flower and little do you know there's a patient and persistent crab spider lying in wait.
Sometimes they're camouflaged, matching the color of a blossom, like a yellow crab spider on a gold coin, or a pinkish-white crab spider on sedum.
But there was no missing this white crab spider on a Mexican sunflower (Tithonia) last weekend. It stood out like a snowy owl perched on a crate of crimson pomegranates.
Crab spiders belong to the family Thomisidae and are often called "flower crab spiders." They're not web weavers or jumping spiders. They're ambush specialists that trap unsuspecting prey.
If you're wondering why some honey bees, leafcutter bees, blue orchard bees or sweat bees don't go home at night, the crab spider is one of the reasons.

So Bee It

The Girls of Autumn....not unlike The Boys of Summer...
Extension apiculturist Eric Mussen of the UC Davis Department of Entomology, emphasizes that backyard gardeners should plant bee friendly flowers for all the seasons.
'Limited plantings of backyard, or even acres, of flowers will greatly improve the possibility of enhancing the native bee population in the area," Mussen says. "However, each honey bee colony requires an acre equivalent of forage on a daily basis, all during its active season. This seems to be pretty hard to accomplish, but honey bees will fly up to four miles from the hive in any compass direction to get food. That is an area of 50 square miles in which to find that acre equivalent."
G. H. Vansell, author of the University of California's treasured 1941 bulletin, "Nectar and Pollen Plants of California," writes that "six of the most important sources of nectar in California are the sages, alfalfa, orange, wild buckwheats, star thistle and Christmas berry; of these, the sages, wild buckwheats and Christmas berry are native." (Read this book online in openlibrary.org.)
Native pollinator specialist Robbin Thorp, emeritus professor of entomology at UC Davis, has singled out some of the best native plants for bees. The information, gleaned his own experience and from Vansell's list, appears on the website of the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility, UC Davis.
And if you want to look up individual plants, Thorp urges you to access Calflora (UC Berkeley).
Good advice and a good way to help the bees!

Fisheye View of the Garden
When I was teaching photography, I encouraged my students to go for the angles--from a bug's eye view to a bird's eye view. Holding a camera chest-high or at eye level renders the "same-o, same o" photos.
Yet another creative way to see the world is through a fisheye lens. With its 180-degree ultra-wide view,it grants a whole new perspective.
American physicist/inventor Robert W. Wood coined the term, "fisheye," in 1906, according to Wikipedia. He imagined "how a fish would see an ultra-wide hemispherical view from beneath the water (a phenomenon known as Snell's window)."
What does the raised bed of Mexican sunflowers (Tithonia) in the Häagen-Honey Bee Haven at the University of California, Davis, look like with a fisheye lens?
Colorful, disorted, startling, intriguing.
Meanwhile, the volunteers who tend the pollinator garden every Friday morning are adding the finishing touches for the public open house, set Saturday afternoon, Sept. 15.
It's part of the Bohart Museum of Entomology's two concurrent open houses, themed "Flower Lovers: the Bees." Both will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. on Sept. 15. One is at the museum itself at 1124 Academic Surge on Crocker Lane, and the other, at the Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven on Bee Biology Road, west of the central campus.
They are free and open to the public.
The museum will showcase bee specimens from around the world, and offer crafts activities. At the haven, plans call for a focus on honey bees, native bees, beekeeping, garden tours, and crafts activities. And a focus on the permanent art in the garden, the spectacular work of the UC Davis Art/Science Fusion Program.
Saturday's activities at the haven also will include a recognition ceremony at 1:30 p.m. for Derek Tully, 17, of Davis. He will be honored for his Eagle Scout project, building a fence around the half-acre garden. Lynn Kimsey, director of the Bohart Museum and professor of entomology at UC Davis, will preside.
It's a good day to bring a camera! But then, isn't every day a good day to bring a camera?

The Incredible Hulk Announcedby Nick Breckon, Mar 13, 2008 1:21pm PDT
Marvel and publisher Sega today announced The Incredible Hulk, a tie-in game based on the upcoming movie of the same name.
The project is being developed by Edge of Reality, an up-and-coming studio known for its games based on Dreamworks animated films.
Though created by a different studio, The Incredible Hulk will sport many of the same features that The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction boasted--most importantly a dynamic open world, with towering skyscrapers and plenty of things to smash.
The game will attempt a small-scale recreation of Manhattan, with story-based tasks, sub-quests and minigames littering the landscape. New moves will be learned via a rage system, which will see the The Hulk gaining experience from his destruction.
The Incredible Hulk is set for a June release, on PC, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii. Developer Amaze will also be releasing a DS version.

Environmental Justice is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. Fair treatment means that no group of people, including a racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic group, should bear a disproportionate share of the negative environmental consequences resulting from industrial, municipal, and commercial operations or the execution of federal, state, local, and tribal programs and policies.
Considering Environmental Justice in Permitting
Goal: To enable overburdened communities to have full and meaningful access to the permitting process and to develop permits that address environmental justice issues to the greatest extent practicable under existing environmental laws.
To access Region 3's Implementation Plan visit http://www.epa.gov/compliance/environmentaljustice/plan-ej/permitting.html
Environmental Justice Grant Programs
- The EJ CPS program requires selected applicants, or recipients, to use the Environmental Justice Collaborative Problem-Solving Model (EJ CPS Model) as part of their projects. The EJ CPS Model's purpose is to provide communities with information to help them develop proactive, strategic, and visionary approaches to address environmental justice issues, and to achieve community health and sustainability. Information on the EJ CPS Model can be found in the publication EPA's Environmental Justice Collaborative Problem-Solving Model-PDF (44 pp, 1.5MB). EPA's Office of Environmental Justice (OEJ) launched the Environmental Justice Collaborative Problem-Solving Cooperative Agreement (EJ CPS) program in 2003.
Environmental Justice Small Grants ProgramOverview
The EPA's Office of Environmental Justice (OEJ) established the Environmental Justice Small Grants Program (EJSG) in fiscal year (FY) 1994. The purpose of this grant program is to support and empower communities that are working on local solutions to local environmental and/or public health issues. The EJSG Program is designed to assist recipients in building collaborative partnerships that will help them understand and address the environmental and/or public health issues in their communities. Successful collaborative partnerships with other stakeholders involve well-designed strategic plans to build, maintain and sustain the partnerships, and to work towards addressing the local environmental and/or public health issues.
EPA Seeks Applicants for $1.2 Million in Environmental Justice Grants to Address Local Health and Environmental Issues
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is accepting grant applications for $1.2 million in funding to support projects designed to research, educate, empower and enable communities to understand and address local health and environmental issues. Eligible applicants from non-profit, faith-based and tribal organizations working in the community of the proposed project are encouraged to apply.
Environmental Justice Small Grants funding is available for two categories of projects:
Environmental justice means the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people, regardless of race or income, in the environmental decision-making process. Environmental justice issues often involve multiple sources of contamination, like pollution from several industrial facilities within one neighborhood, environmental hazards at the workplace or home, or contamination resulting from the consumption of fish or other subsistence food.
Environmental contamination can lead to costly health risks and can discourage investments and development in low-income, minority, and indigenous communities disproportionately impacted by pollution. Understanding the impacts of multiple environmental risks can help communities develop more effective solutions to their environmental and health concerns.

I'm not fat, but I do have a muffin top.
What's the big deal? A waist circumference of more than 35 inches may put you at risk for metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions that raises your risk for diabetes and heart disease, even if you're at a healthy weight. "Belly fat also presses on the lungs, especially when you bend at the waist, making breathing more difficult," says Gerald Fletcher, M.D., a cardiologist at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. And it can release inflammatory chemicals that aggravate airways, so breathing becomes harder still.
Act now. Fight middle jiggle with interval training, bursts of intense exercise in your workout that rev heart rate and burn body fat faster. And swap simple carbohydrates such as white bread, candy and cookies for whole-wheat toast with peanut butter or lowfat cheese. "The combination of whole-grain carbs and protein digests slowly, helping you avert spikes in insulin, a hormone that promotes fat storage," says Molly Kimball, R.D., a sports dietitian at Ochsner Elmwood Fitness Center in New Orleans. And aim to get no more than 10 percent of your total calories from added sugar.

Once you alter the fan and its recommended installation you void any warranties as well as open doors for liability in the event of a mishap.
Be happy with what you have.
I am stumped on this one, sorry for long background required:
Currently installing Lennox Brentwood fireplace (zero clearance high efficiency with fan blower kit to move air)
I purchased the factory blower (UZY5) which comes equipped with a molded plug and SJT cord, here is the documentation for the fan (minus instructions on plugging it into a receptacle that is pre-wired into the fireplace - very helpful):
The fireplace has a handy box within the bottom of the unit with the one and only electrical KO into the fireplace from the outside of the unit into this box. I was hoping to use a P&S DDH16P fan control to vary the motor speed (since Lennox has been unable to provide their blower control for 6 months and counting):
My original thought was to have the DDH16P control a receptacle mounted in the fireplace junction box, which is designed to accept a receptacle for plugging in the molded plug-equipped blower. However, I believe it is not to code to control a receptacle with a dimmer (and I assume a fan control as well). So, I figure that I could have the receptacle receive direct power and insert the fan speed control in the loop where the factory dimmer is supposed to go (see sketch above)...except there is only the one KO into the bottom of the fireplace and that goes into the handy box (where the receptacle will be). And yes, the factory blower control unit (VRUW) is also a wall mounted unit - so its control wires are supposed to get inside somehow other than through the louvers in the front of the unit.
Possible options seem to be:
1) Can the fan speed controller control the receptacle (maybe there is an exemption for a receptacle installed within an appliance)?
I know that Lutron has these:
but I do not like the lutron controls and the receptacle is listed on for Lutron dimmers and I would have to cut the plug off of my blower and the plug is only 2 prong - it's really just for lights, I think?
2) Can the blower be hard wired into the junction box and control with the fan control (this means cutting off the plug and using a strain-relief bushing into the cover of the handy box)? Not sure I can install a cord in this way, either...
3) Can a second wire be routed into the fireplace, either by putting two NM 14-2 through a single bushing and out the side of the handy box that will have a receptacle installed in it (don't think so), or by drilling another hole in the fireplace? (for the record, their tech support indicated they thought there were additional knockouts in the fireplace - there aren't anymore than the one)
This is a permitted job and I will be talking to the electrical inspector prior to starting the electrical (I just want to know what I am talking about/proposing).
Once you alter the fan and its recommended installation you void any warranties as well as open doors for liability in the event of a mishap.
Be happy with what you have.
What do you mean be happy with what I have? - I don't have anything. I have no documented installation procedure from this manufacturer for installing their (or any other) blower control.
Forget what I want to use (alternate controller).
They provide one single KO into a handy box within the fireplace (where they mention placing a receptacle), a fan with a molded plug, and a wall-mounted speed control that is supposed to be spliced into the fan at the junction shown at the diagram above (everything in the diagram above is contained within the bottom of the fireplace).
There are no instructions from the mfg on how to install the blower control (no wiring diagram beyond the picture shown above for the fan). I have called their tech support multiple times about this issue with no results.
How would you wire this to code (there is an existing light switch in the chase that can be made into a double gang)?
Edit: I plan to have my master electrician do this work, but I have learned in the past as the HO to always make sure you know how things are supposed to work. As I mentioned, I also want to discuss the plan with the EI up front to avoid pain later.

I called tech support again. They still do not have documentation, but told me what to do. They said they may be able to write up a procedure, if required by my EI.
They said run the 2 NM wires through the single KO with a bushing into the handy box (one from the fan control switch and one from the supply line). Hook up a receptacle to the supply line - plug the fan into that. Run the second wire through the KO in the side of handy box (will confirm its existence later when I get home) with a bushing and wire into the connectors shown in the original diagram.
Seems so simple now, but I still wonder why they would not have a better wiring diagram/instructions included with any of the three components they are selling...
Installation of the blower kit
model UZY5
Note: This blower kit can easily be installed when
the fireplace has a pre-installed junction box.
You just have to plug them in.
Rating: 120 Volts, 60Hz, .63A.
The blowers have magnetic blower mounts.
The junction box (factory installed on approved
fireplaces for the use of this blower kit) must be
connected to 110 VAC service before permanently
enclosing the fireplace. The access hole
for connecting the 110 VAC is located on the
lower right exterior side of the fireplace.
Installation instructions:
1. Open the bottom louver of the fireplace.
2. Place each blower kit into the fireplace
side opening 1" from the back of the
3. Install the automatic blower activator on
the side of the firebox (the blower activator
has a magnetic mount).
4. Plug the blower kit into the junction box.
5. Ground both blowers to the back panel
using the green screws (see Figure 9).
The picture that you posted above is figure 9
I did have that info as well, but you can see there is no mention of the blower control itself. It just describes the receptacle and the blowers, not the blower control (VRUW) and how to wire it.
I think what I described in my last post from their tech support makes sense, I just think they should have a manual/spec sheet for the VRUW, blower control.
Also, they indicated that drilling a hole in the cabinet is not an option (no surprise at all).
Based on a quick read, it seems to be that IF it was set up to accept the fan, there would already be an recepticle in the box. It also appears from their diagram that there is a plug connector that allows you to insert the variable speed control (reostat) in the fan assembly cord. It may be that this unit was not set up to accept the fan and adding it would void the warranty. Any wiring done would need to have the proper temperature ratings, or the insulation could fail. Same is true with any plugs, connectors, or other additions.
Jim DeBruycker
Important note - I'm not a pro
Retired Defense Industry Engineer; Schluter 2.5-day Workshop Completed 2013, 2014
There is no receptacle to be installed on the fan assembly. The receptacle is part of the house wiring and the fan assembly plugs into this receptacle.
The fan speed control that is required by to be used with this fan assembly will be wired in the box that has a hole it.
Look at the diagram
Where it says connector for optional rheostat is that junction box with the hole in it for the conductors from the fan speed control (rheostat)
Spoke to the EI. I described how the mfg said to run 2 wires and put the rheostat in-line after the plug and showed him the instruction sheet for the blower.
He indicated that my electrician should just wire the fan control to control the receptacle. I said that I thought is was against code to control a receptacle with a dimmer or fan control, for example in a wall. He described it as not smart but not against code. If he is OK with it, I guess that is the way to go.
Of course, we will make sure not to plug the vacuum or anything else into the receptacle inside the fireplace.
The fan control MUST be the one recommended by the manufacturer and not a dimmer on a receptacle.
The type of method for controlling the speed of the fan motors is different than the method for dimming a receptacle. What you propose could be catastrophic for the motors.
I strongly recommend that you comply with the recommendations of the manufacture and use the speed control that they will have to stand behind instead of doing something that may end up costing you in the long run.
As to the statement of your EI this is what the National Electrical Code 2008 Edition has to say:
404.14(E) Dimmer Switches. General-use dimmer switches shall be used only to control permanently installed incandescent luminaires unless listed for the control of other loads and installed accordingly.
The verbiage (unless listed for the control of other loads and installed accordingly) means that the dimmer you are wanting to install would have to be listed as a control for the fan motors or it can not be used.
Should the dimmer that you propose to use not be of the rheostat type then the motors would not be controlled. This is evidenced in the language that the manufacturer makes with, Connector for optional rheostat implying that the controller needed for the motors is a rheostat not an electronic dimmer. This verbiage now call into play 110.3 (B) Installation and Use. Listed or labeled equipment shall be installed and used in accordance with any instructions included in the listing or labeling.
Should you decide to go with the advice of your EI then get this permission to stray from the NEC in writing as outlined here
90.2 (C) Special Permission. The authority having jurisdiction for enforcing this Code may grant exception for the installation of conductors and equipment that are not under the exclusive control of the electric utilities and are used to connect the electric utility supply system to the service-entrance conductors of the premises served, provided such installations are outside a building or terminate immediately inside a building wall.
Special Permission. The written consent of the authority having jurisdiction.
If you have it in writing it might come in handy should something go wrong that would call for an insurance claim. With out the permission in writing it might be a troublesome situation with a insurance claim and a noncompliant code installation.
I understand about dimmers not controlling motors.
The part I am planning to use is a fan control - designed specially for fans - see DDH16 (1.6 amp).
I am sorry if my wording was confusing. Let me try to explain better:
The AHJ said to wire the fan control (not dimmer) to control the receptacle. I was quoting the regulations regarding a dimmer not controlling a receptacle to the AHJ and indicating I thought this may apply to fan controls as well. He said it was fine, and 404.14(E) does not preclude (as you have quoted).
Can a fan control control a receptacle by code?
If yes, this is the source of my overall confusion and it is probably time to purchase the electrical code, so I can read it myself instead of catching bits on-line and getting confused.
I am confident the fan will not be damaged by the control itself. Also, the mfg has not been able to deliver their speed control in 6 months. I realize the mfg may not stand behind the fans if I use another speed control, but at that point, I will just buy new fans from Grainger, anyway.
I appreciate your thoughts.
The DDH16 fan speed control is an electronic device and the fan diagram calls for a rheostat. There is a big difference between the two and the electronic device and motors could suffer severe damage if used together.
Even if you didnt look at 404.14(E) there is no way around 110.3(B) which calls for all equipment to be installed according to the listing and labeling of the equipment. The manufacturer of the fans calls for a certain type of speed control to be installed and anything else would be outside the listing of the fans.
My concern is not the illegal use of a dimmer on a receptacle but instead the emit danger of the electronic device controlling a motor designed for a rheostat.
If I were going to control the receptacle I would use either a single pole switch or a line voltage thermostat and let the fans run at full speed but I would not use any other fan speed control except the one the manufacturer suggest to be used.
Looking at the listing of the dimmer that you posted a link to it is easy to see that the device is an electronic device that contains a capacitor. The fan motors that you provided a link to calls for a rheostat which is a variable resistor. There is a big difference between the two and one will not replace the other.
Judging by your post you seem to be bent on installing this device to a receptacle for controlling the speed of the fan motors so I shall leave you with one more piece of advice.
If you do install this device to control the speed of the fan motors please also install a small powder type fire extinguisher close to the dimmer for when the smoke starts coming out as there might be come sparks coming out with the smoke. The fire extinguisher can be used to keep the sparks from starting a fire that is if someone is home when it happens.

I am bent on installing something for controlling the fan, but definitely not something improper, which is why I was asking questions in the first place.
I have called Pass and Seymour and you are correct about all of their controls being electronic (cutting the sine wave).
Lennox has not been been able to deliver their speed control for 6 months!! So, I am hoping to find another rheostat to do this and I thought (incorrectly as you thankfully point out) the above might be an option.
I truly appreciate your insight and knowledge. If only the manufacturer was as helpful.
Just so you know, I still have the Lennox device on backorder, but I am frustrated with the situation.
BTW, running the fan on full speed at all times is not reasonable - they are too loud in close proximity, which is why Lennox designed the system and made a rheostat controller.
If I can find a true wall mounted rheostat, is that OK to install?
As i read it, the Lennox fan manual does not say I need to install their rheostat. The manufacturer does not specific part number VRUW must be installed to control the unit in their documentation...just says a rheostat. The stove manual lists VRUW as a part available, but does not specify that only it must be used as the blower control.
I am going to try other vendors for the VRUW, as well.
If you have other recommendations on a true wall mounted rheostat, I am all ears, but I realize you are indicating that you would only use the VRUW.
Many thanks,

Fireplace Blower
The fireplace comes equipped with a heat activated blower. It is located
in the bottom of the fireplace, towards the back. It uses 120 V and must
be connected to the main electrical circuit by a qualified electrician. For
connection, use the electrical box supplied with the unit located on the
bottom right corner of the fireplace.
If you wish to adjust the blower speed, the variable speed control (VRUW)
provided must be installed in line with the wiring. Again, use a qualified
electrician for installation.
Only the blower available with the fireplace can be used with the gravity
kit. For safe installation, the gravity kit must meet the following requirements:
I found this by searching the site you posted for the fan kit mentioned.
In the second paragraph is these words, If you wish to adjust the blower speed, the variable speed control (VRUW) provided must be installed in line with the wiring.
This is the instructions that the manufacturer included with their installation instructions and the NEC makes this statement in Section 110.3(B) Installation and Use. Listed or labeled equipment shall be installed and used in accordance with any instructions included in the listing or labeling.
The word shall found in Section 110.3(B) Installation and Use, must be followed. The installation instructions clearly state that unit VRUW is to be used. In order to be code compliant no other speed control nor from the last sentence that I posted no other blower kit or motor can be used for this fireplace.
Look at the whole picture instead of just the fans. You are installing something that will produce a lot of heat (fire hazard) and then installing a blower on this equipment. I wouldnt want to do anything that would cause those blowers to add to this danger (fire hazard).
This fireplace was tested using their components such as the blowers and speed control outlined in their installation instructions. To use anything different would be stepping out side the realms of the testing and should not be considered for use.
I agree with the point of your last post, but just to be clear, your quoted text is from the Montecito. I have the Brentwood.
Further, my manual that came with the unit I purchased (whose revision and instructions vary slightly from the on-line Brentwood version on their site) does NOT have the language you posted.
My documentation is really the only one that applies, as the MFG can change the specs and manual at any time. As a result, I am not convinced that 110.3(B) applies.
But, I do agree with you in general. I called Lennox again and they suggested trying other distributors.
Horrifically, the first dealer I called checked with their supplier and called me back to say, "our supplier is out of stock, but they said you can use any fan controller off of the shelf"!
Unfortunately, Lennox is dealer based, so customer support is only for dealers, but you can get tech support...
My current plan is to call other suppliers to find the VRUW.

Plus since they didn´t run in 2010 they´ve never been held accountable for their votes for Obamacare. I´m pretty sure the esteemed senators still don´t know what´s in it and can´t defend those votes. Bring out the video of Pelosi and the mega gavel marching across the grounds to ram it down our throats. Blue dogs could have stopped it but did not.

I couldn´t bear to watch that travesty last night, but a few times of cruising past it showed not very happy dems. Not even pelosi looked like her usual insane self. With all the cosmetic surgery/injections, I didn´t think that was possible.

Don´t worry. Dingy Harry, Nasty Nancy, and Dear Leader(US) will give all these in-trouble Democrats carte blanche to act conservative and even cast votes against the wishes of Dear Leader(US) when it doesn´t affect their passage.It´s the usual "I´m conservative the year before re-election" kabuke dance that liberal Democrats in conservative states get to play. Once they´re re-elected by the usual RAT contingent plus the Low Info voters they can bamboozle with this dog-and-pony show, they get five years of liberal votes.

The trouble with voters is that incumbent libtards campaign like they´re republicans but the minute they get elected revert back to die-hard libtards. They should be wiped out before they can do any more damage.

Speaking for the voters of North Carolina - Kay Hagan is going down! (and not in a good way.)
