Analysts Downgrade Twitter Stock, While CEO Costolo Has No Idea How Many Users Opt Out Of Ads
Shares in Twitter fell 3.5 percent yesterday after Cantor Fitzgerald cut the company's rating from "hold" to "sell", based on what Cantor said were excessive valuations.
Cantor stated that they give sell ratings to firms whose business models have structural challenges, noting that they believe that "Twitter's valuation to be excessive and currently see materially more downside than upside."
Morgan Stanley also downgraded Twitter to the less bearish "underperform". Currently, 20 of 26 analysts who cover Twitter have either "hold" or "sell" ratings on the stock.
So what gives? Andy Busch, editor and publisher of The Busch Update, says Twitter's valuation is high compared to other companies since its IPO.
"At $26, it was 16.5 times sales and even that was a premium to companies like Facebook, Yelp, and others," said Busch to CNBC. "At $74, where it eventually got to, that's three times that. Clearly, that's out of control."
Busch cites one main reason why Twitter is overpriced: new shares coming to the market later this year.
"They're ending a lockup period on February 15," says Busch. "There are 9.9 million shares that are going to be available. But, the big one is in May – there are 454 million shares that become available. I think that's why 20 out of 26 analysts who cover Twitter have it either as a hold or a sell."
Meanwhile, Twitter CEO, speaking at CES in Las Vegas, revealed that he has no idea how many of his users choose to opt out of seeing ads, which is easily done via profile settings.
"You can opt out of tailored ads and content," he told the audience at CES yesterday. But when asked how many users have doe so, he either did not know, or chose not to reveal this data. "I do not know how many people have opted out of tailored ads."
My guess is he was caught off guard, and it might not matter anyway – one report from Europe proposes that the opt-out rate is below 5 percent.

The Kemp's Ridley is Losing Ground - Will the US Act?
This guest post by Carole H. Allen, Gulf Office Director, Sea Turtle Restoration Project (www.seaturtles.org) was presented online by Mitch Merry of the Endangered Species Coalition.
In 1906, Richard Kemp spotted a sea turtle on a Florida beach and later had the honor of adding his name to its identification. Years passed with little attention paid to the Kemp's ridley until June, 1947, when Andres Herrera made an amateur movie that documented, for the first time, an arribada (arrival) of Kemp's ridleys-some 42,000 females nesting in a single day at Rancho Nuevo, Tamaulipas, Mexico. Villagers excavated most of those nests, however, and harvested some 80 to 90 percent of the eggs that were laid. Decades later, though, the ridleys faced almost certain extinction; between 1978 and 1991, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) estimated that only 200 Kemp's ridleys were nesting annually.
credit NOAA
My personal involvement with the ridleys began in 1982, when, as a volunteer, I took elementary school students to Galveston to see hatchlings being raised in a desperate attempt to save the species. The students organized HEART (Help Endangered Animals-Ridley Turtles) and began to work for the ridleys. Always my most powerful volunteers, students have written letters to legislators calling for turtle excluder device (TED) regulations and enforcement of laws protecting ridleys, and have pooled their nickels and dimes to buy food for hatchlings. Thousands of children have visited the Galveston facility, creating a higher level of public awareness about the killing of sea turtles-particularly by the shrimping industry.
As the Mexican government protected the ridleys' nesting beaches and officers in the Gulf of Mexico enforced TED regulations, populations of Kemp's ridleys began to grow. Things were looking good for the ridleys-so much so that the joint United States-Mexico recovery plan predicted a 19 percent population increase from 2010 to 2020 that would lead to a down-listing under the Endangered Species Act. But that was too good to be true.
Credit NOAA
Hundreds, maybe thousands, of ridleys were killed in the 2010 BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Nest numbers dropped in Tamaulipas and Texas in 2010, and again in 2013. The NMFS has backed away from requiring TEDs on skimmer trawls, and Louisiana refuses to enforce TED regulations in their state waters, placing thousands of turtles in jeopardy. Sadly, each March and April, as shrimping activity increases along the Texas coast, dead adult female ridleys-the most valuable of all-wash ashore. Why not declare a closure to shrimping for the nesting season?
Research confirms that ridleys are migrating and foraging along the Texas and Louisiana coasts. With the need for additional "safe zones" for nesting for the ridleys, the opposition of US Fish and Wildlife to allow the hatching of eggs and releasing of hatchlings where the nests are found on the Upper Texas Coast is unfortunate. Critical habitat is declared for other sea turtle species; why not more habitat protections for Kemp's ridleys?
Although the Kemp's ridley population revived from near-extinction 25 years ago, it seems to be losing ground. Will we allow this to happen, or will we step up to enforce existing laws and put in place new ones where they are needed? If we don't demand action, nothing will be done.
Comment by Scale Lily, Feb 10th, 2014 9:52am
Do people still harvest the eggs and if so would it be possible for them to only take half from a nest and still have the rest of babies survive?

First Winter with TT Solo 110 (62 Posts)
First Winter with TT Solo 110
Over the summer, I had a TT Solo 110 installed in my house. We used my existing Boilermate indirect for DHW and 3 zones of fin tube baseboard for heat. Much of the fin tube on the main floor of the house was replaced with high output fin tube to minimize the water temperature needed to heat the house.
All was well until the fall when we turned on the heat. I expected some short cycling during the shoulder seasons, but observed that the return temperature is always only roughly 2 degrees less than the supply (as measured by the boiler). The house is staying warm so I know that heat is being removed from the water as it is circulated. I suspect that the flow rate through the boiler's heat exchanger is much greater than through my zones and therefore supply water is flowing backward through the closely spaced tees and heating the return water. The internal circulator in the boiler is set to LO and the zone circulators are set to HI (all are Grundfos 15-58s).
The piping appears to match the schematic in the TT manual. I've attached pictures and am hoping that someone can confirm it is correct or suggest how to fix it.
Thanks in advance. -
I'm Blind
Because I don't see any closely spaced tees. Looks and sounds to me your over pumping the zones. Have you measured actual zone supply and return temperature difference?"The bitter taste of a poor installation remains much longer than the sweet taste of the lowest price." -
a problem........If you want to zone that boiler with circulators, it has to be piped P/S. Yours isn't piped P/S. -
What you have is circulators in series. You are way over pumping. I think the right solution is to pipe it primary secondary. It would probably work fine if you removed the boiler circ and set the zones to low.

Closely spaced tees
The closely spaced tees are just below the boiler. This picture should show them more clearly.
The supply is on the right and the return loops around the back on the left. The cooper pipe behind the supply is the dedicated supply to the DHW tank.This post was edited by an admin on November 30, 2012 7:23 AM. -
TT Schematic
This is Triangle Tube's schematic for zoning with circulators that the installer followed. It appears to be close to how my boiler is piped, although the check valve on the return is missing and the return from the indirect tank does not tie into the same spot as the schematic shows. -
That is Not
Pri/Sec piping in the pic. One tee is vertical on the bull the other horizontal..I ask again, have you measured zone supply temp and return temp, not boiler supply and return? Close isn't close enough.."The bitter taste of a poor installation remains much longer than the sweet taste of the lowest price."This post was edited by an admin on November 30, 2012 7:30 AM. -
That's what I thought...
but TT tech support told the installer that it is not a problem because both the supply and return are on the bull so the friction losses are the same.
I don't have the ability to accurately measure the actual zone supply and return temperatures, but it seems like this information is critical to figure out what is going on. -
I have to disagree...
While the presence of any elbows between the closely spaced tees, the distance between the tees, and the sizes of all the pipes matter to the pressure drop (and therefore to hydraulic separation) those boiler risers are still at 90 degrees to the main and the main is still a straight run through the closely spaced tees. I fail to see how the angle of the risers to each other could possibly affect the function as a hydraulic separation device.
I agree with everyone's take on the main issue: almost certainly the zones are being overpumped. -
TT Schematic
Shows circulators pumping away from the Point of No Pressure Change (expansion tank.) Your tank appears to be on the return side of the circs.
Fixing this will require a re-pipe -- a perfect opportunity to replace those zone circs with valves, install a pressure-dependent circulator and eliminate the P/S piping altogether. -
Just seeing this post now...
You are correct! My expansion tank is on the boiler supply line that ties into the return to the boiler. The installer told me that TT tech support told him to install them that way even though the manual shows it system supply piping. -
Tee spacing
Even though the p/s piping is right on top (or underneith ) the boiler ,the fact weather a tee on a P/S pipin is hortizontal or vertical in possition makes no never mind except in some cases making it easier to install a check or thermal trap but the issue i see is the distance between the elbow and second tee there should be more straight length of pipe, the ell is to close that piece of pipe should be at least 7 to 10 inches long . (in photo tee on left ) .I would have all the zone pumps set to low and would have piped it using the perferred piping method which prioritizes the domestic hot water .This unit has a internal circ correct . -
Which ell?
The ell on the return entering the run of the tee(white circle) or the ell turning up back into the boiler (yellow circle)?
Yes, there is a circulator inside the boiler.This post was edited by an admin on November 30, 2012 8:21 AM. -
Sure It Does
They are no longer closely spaced in this case.. One is horizontal the other vertical. Looks like 1" pipe which means they cannot be more then 8" or 4 pipe diameters. We know that the spacing between boiler supply and return is 5". My bet is on the tees and over pumping."The bitter taste of a poor installation remains much longer than the sweet taste of the lowest price." -
Pipe Size
The near boiler piping is all 1". The tees are 5" on center.
Do you think I'm overpumping through the boiler or through the zones?
I think that the flow through the boiler is greater than the flow through the zones because the loop at the boiler is so short and the pipe is 1" and the zones have an elevation loss to overcome plus they are at least 150' of 3/4" pipe. All pumps are Grundfos 15-58s. I have the zone pumps set to HI and the boiler pump set to LO in an attempt to balance the flows. -
You're not pumping, you're circulating
There is no net gain or loss in elevation since the water winds up at the same spot. There is absolutely no benefit to overpumping: if the zones are heating well enough, you have enough flow. Too much flow, on the other hand, has the following disadvantages:
- unnecessarily high electricity usage (over twice as high at speed 3 as at speed 1 on the 15-58)
- velocity noise and possible water erosion of fittings
- return temperatures are now higher for any given heat output and average water temp over the emitter; if you check out what your boiler is telling you you will see that the exhaust temperature is basically identical to the return water temperature, so this means more heat goes out the exhaust and there will be less condensing.
This is why you need to start low and measure temperature drop across the circuit. If the latter becomes too high and a particular zone is not keeping up any more, it's always possible to bump it back up.
Surely you have a meat thermometer in your kitchen... use that, in a pinch, if you have no other means of measuring. -
I have no idea
what chris is on about here. those are closely spaced tees. they do not have to hit the pipe from the same axis. the elbow a few inches away reduces their effectiveness, but the pressure drop between the two tees is practically zero. You are basically hydraulically separated and you do not have any piping problems i can see here.
even the expansion tank is not a problem. as long as you do not have a significant pressure drop between the suction of the pump and the expansion tank you are "pumping away". Such as in this case.
you are overpumped. this is why zone by pump systems are not as efficient as zone valve systems. end of story.NRT.Rob -
This is my understanding of the flows at the closely spaced tees. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Situation #1
Flow through the boiler is greater than through the zones.
Zones will see the supply temp from the boiler. Return to the boiler will be at a mixed temperature produced by the zone return mixing with the supply. Supply water flows back through the tees toward the return.
Situation #2
Flow through the boiler is equal to flow through the zones.
All supply water is directed to the zone and all the zone return water is directed back to boiler. There is no flow between tees.
Situation #3
Flow through the zones is greater than flow through the boiler.
Zone return water mixes with supply water to produce a mixed temperature water that is sent to the zones. The boiler receives water at the return temperature from the zone. Flow between tees is from return toward the supply.
I believe I have situation #1, however it appears that you guys are suggesting that I have situation #3.
I guess I really need a way to accurately measure the temperatures of the pipes to diagnose what's really happening. Is there a way to use an IR thermometer on copper pipes? I don't think they work on shiney surfaces. -
So it's like this
Yes, your understanding is correct, but there's still one thing missing, which is the consideration of overall flow through the system - not just relative to boiler flow.
If the flow through the system is too great, for any given heat output the temperature drop through the circuit will be small. So, regardless whether you were in scenario 1, 2 or 3, you would see a small temperature drop between boiler supply and boiler return.
By the way, please tell us you're using outdoor reset. :-) -
Outdoor Reset
Yes, I am using the outdoor reset. -
Situation #1
What you have created is a boiler by-pass, which is what you would do with a cast-iron boiler to minimize condensing.You are failing to take advantage of TT's heat exchanger with its low resistance to flow, and run off its internal circulator with zone valves. This eliminates the problems you have created. -
The rotation of the tees is irrelevant providing the run of the tees is on the primary pipe. The branch's must go to the boiler. More importantly is the distance between the tees and pipe distances before and after the tees. You should keep the tees as close as possible. The rule is maximum 4 times the diameter of the primary pipe (run of tees) not to exceed 12". This means if you have 1-1/4" pipe that would be 5" between the centerline of the tees. You do not have the option of 5" to 12". The 12" only comes into play when the 4 times rule exceeds 12". Than the tees need to 12" or less. Keep them as close as possible.
The distance before the tees is 8 times the pipe diameter minimum and after the tees is 4 times the diameter of the pipe minimum.
Turn your system pump speeds down, try the lowest speed first. The faster the water flows the lower the delta-T. Slow the water down the greater the delta-T.
Most systems zoned with pumps have too much flow. -
That is My Point
The distance of those tee's because one is horizontal and one vertical exceeds the proper distance I fee in this case. I'm not there but it is something I would be double checking.
We all know the zones are over pumping."The bitter taste of a poor installation remains much longer than the sweet taste of the lowest price." -
Can I use the valves on the return to throttle down the flow on the zones? -
Let me get this straight...
You want to leave the circulators on max speed but use the ball valves to throttle flow? What would be the point of that? -
I've set the circulators to LO
Per everyone's input here. I still don't see a difference in the return temp so I'm asking if I should try throttling them down further. -
Oh, I see... I didn't catch you mentioning that
No, I wouldn't do that without first measuring temperatures on the zone supplies and returns. And letting things come to a new balance. It takes a while for all the thermal mass in the system to adjust to the new normal.
If the temperature drop across the zones is still too low after you give it time to come down, you might try throttling. Be aware, though, that ball valves aren't made for that purpose; they don't really start throttling until they're nearly three-quarters closed, and then things get pretty touchy. Without flow gauges, it's difficult to know what's happening, but I guess you could listen for the turbulence across the valve. Any adjustment should be followed by a period of non-tinkering to let the system balance out. I suggest you try this with a single zone only, and MEASURE (did I mention measuring?) the effect on that zone's temperature drop before trying to replicate on other zones. You should ignore the boiler for the time being. You can worry about it after your system is where it needs to be.
If you find that throttling is necessary on most or all of the zones to get the temperature drop across the zone to a decent level (say, 10 F on a decently cold day) then you might consider ditching zoning with circulators.This post was edited by an admin on November 30, 2012 9:49 AM. -
The thing about P/S piping, is that one circulator doesn't know the other exists. You are probably overcirculating to the system, but you will chase your tail with the problem by adjusting circulation. -
Check the pump curve for the boilers circulator to ensure adequate flow. Seperate the supply and return at the boiler. Replace the circulators with zone valves and replace the switching relay with a zone valve control. -
Simpliar Solution
Install Taco Bumble Bees or Grundt Alphas with no piping or control changes.."The bitter taste of a poor installation remains much longer than the sweet taste of the lowest price." -
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.
I'm still trying to understand why I am having a problem that appears obvious to everyone when the boiler is piped per TT's recommendation.
Take a look at the attached figure taken directly from the TT instruction manual. It appears to me that there is a primary loop through the boiler and the zones themselves are the secondary loops. Every schematic I've seen has a secondary loop with the zones in either series or parallel with it.
The second 2 attachments show the typical schematics I've seen for P/S piping. TT even shows something similar to these when using zone valves.This post was edited by an admin on November 30, 2012 11:57 AM. -
Piping diagrams are conceptual.
It is still the installers responsibility to install the appropriate sized pumps, piping, etc for the system he is working on. Just because the picture shows a pump and you have a pump it doesn't mean your pumps are sized properly for each zones gpm and head requirement.
Pics 2 and 3 do not apply to your system and Pic 1 shows a radiant manifold that can be individually balanced.."The bitter taste of a poor installation remains much longer than the sweet taste of the lowest price."This post was edited by an admin on November 30, 2012 12:43 PM. -
Been away on vacation, but still working on this problem
The installer was here yesterday and he reconfigured the P/S piping. The tees are now 4" on center and there is 8" of straight pipe before the tees and 4" of straight pipe after. All circulators are set to LO. There is a 1" check valve on the the return to the boiler and the DHW return is piped to the boiler side of the return check per TT's schematic.
2 issues still remain in my opinion.
1. Supply and return temperatures as measured by the boiler are still very close (2 or 4 degrees difference) with only 1 zone running. With more than 1 zone running, the situation improves to approximately 8-10 degrees as measured by the boiler. There is approximately a 20 degree delta T as measured across the zones with the pumps set on LO. This tells me that I am still getting mixing at the closely spaced tees.
2. Flow is still being induced through the DHW loop when the heating zones are running. Since the setpoint for the heating zones is between 120 and 140 depending on outside temperature, this flow is cooling the water in the tank until it eventually results in a DHW call.
Any suggestions for solving these issues? I believe one person suggested removing the P/S piping and using the TT internal circulator with zone valves for the heating zones. This makes sense to me, but is it my only option? I am baffled by the problem with the DHW. -
boiler differential
Are you measuring on high fire at full load? -
I am reading the boiler supply and return temperature on the boiler control display.
I just took some readings with an IR thermometer. I can't read the copper pipe because of the shiny finish, but I measured the temperature of the red pump body to be 125F and i measure the return before the closely spaced tees at 115F. The boiler supply and return temps were equal when I made these measurements.
Based on the BTU output of the zone (6860 BTU with 125F water) and a 10 degree delta T measured across the zone, I calculate a 1.4 GPM flowrate. The minimum flow through the boiler is 5 GPM so I think this is creating the problem. 3.6 GPM of supply water is combining with the 115F return from the zone at the closely spaced tees. -
boiler differential
Can be anywhere from 0F to 35F depending on load and circulation rate. You need to test at high fire under full load in order to see if you are actually over-pumped on the primary. -
The two problems could be related
The heat that's drained from the DHW tank has to go somewhere, in this case, likely back to the boiler. It's probably mixing with the system return. The indirect should have been piped from the separate supply outlet that TT graciously provides, and the return needs to be to the boiler return riser. That will ensure that the boiler circulator does not circulate through the indirect. -
Gordan, see pic
The supply to the indirect is piped from the TT outlet. The return from the indirect is piped to the boiler return after the check per TT's schematic. -
My bad
A picture may be worth a thousand words, but it's best to have both. :-)
Ok, so here's the checklist:
1) Boiler pump induces flow through DHW - I think we can safely say this is not the issue.
2) DHW pump is on outside of a DHW call - is it wired to the proper terminals? Can you check voltage during times that it's supposed to be off?
3) Gravity flow - are there flow check valves on the DHW supply and return lines? Where are they located?
How quickly does this loss of heat occur? What's the DHW on/off differential? -
No problem
Pictures definitely help! :)
1. My thought was that the boiler pump is inducing flow through the DHW loop, however, it seems like everyone using an indirect and the TT Solo 110 would be having this issue. The DHWR does tie into the return to the boiler between the check valve (CV in pic) and the heat exchanger. The suction side of the pump is on the discharge of the heat exchanger.
2. DHW is wired per the TT instruction manual and I will verify that the voltage is when it is supposed to be on and off.
3. The DHW Grundfos pump has an integrated flow check on the supply side of the indirect tank and there is a check in the return line also located just before the valve.
I know without a doubt that there is flow in the DHW loop while the CH zones are running. If i close the valve after the CV in the DHWR line, all the DHW piping stays cool to the touch. As soon as I open the valve the DHWS&R lines both get hot.
The setpoint for the indirect is 136F and it's on a 10 degree differential so it calls for heat when the tank reaches 126F. The CH setpoint varies with outside temperature but has generally been less than the indirect setpoint (136F). When the CH is not running, the tank generally loses 1 to 2 degrees per hour. With 2 or 3 CH zones running, I've observed the tank going from 136F to 126F in as little as 30 minutes. -
I wonder
I know you said it's connected to the correct terminals, but if you had the DHW circ connected to the Auxilliary Boiler circ terminals, you would see what you're seeing. Quoting from page 33 in the manual:
4. Connect the Auxiliary Boiler circulator to
the line voltage terminal strip on the wiring
panel below the PRESTIGE control module,
as shown in Fig. 19 on page 31. The
auxiliary boiler circulator is enabled during
a CH or a DHW call. This circulator is typically
used in retrofit applications where
the CH and DHW systems are connected to
a common boiler supply. -
Double checked the wiring
Everything appears to be correct. I took some pictures just to make sure, but the DHW is definitely connected to the correct spot. Nothing is wired to the Aux Boiler terminal.
One CH zone was just running and I have the valve on the DHWR shut. Both the DHWS&R lines were cool to the touch. As soon as I opened the valve, both lines got hot. I will pay attention next time which direction the heat comes from. With the checks in the circulator and the return line, I would expect it to flow from supply to return. -
No idea
Beyond what I've already suggested. The boiler and system circs shouldn't be able to circulate through this, since both the DHWR and DHWS are on the inlet side of the boiler circ and the system circ is off of closely spaced tees. So... check voltage/disconnect the DHW circ and see if it still happens. See if it happens with all circs off and the valves open. If the former, something is wonky with your prestige since it's turning on the DHW circ when it shouldn't. If the latter, you've got ghost flow and need to check your checks. -
Flow problem through indirect solved!!!
The installer left the thumbscrews on the DHWR check and the CHR check both open!!!
I closed them both to allow the flow check to operate and now I don't have reverse flow of return water cooling off my DHW tank! -
More pictures
Pictures of the TT Solo 110 without the cover and a closer pic of the internal circulator. -
Good job finally locating the problem! -
Hoping to now solve the issue with the return water temp
I'm leaning toward zone valves with the entire system running off the boiler circulator. It seems to me that there is going to be mixing between the supply and return at the closely spaced tees unless the flow is perfectly balanced between the zone circulators and the boiler circulator. When only 1 zone is running, the difference in flow in the zone and flow in the boiler is so large that the return water is mostly supply being recirculated back through the closely spaced tees. The situation improves with multiple zones running, however, I'd prefer to keep each level of the house on separate zones.
What zone valves does everyone recommend if i make the change? -
changing to zone valves
I'd suggest replacing the internal pump with a pressure-dependent circulator (e.g. WIlo Stratos or Grundfos Alpha.) Once you do this, you need to change the Demand Type setting from Switch & Setpoint to Constant & Outdoor Reset. -
hold your horses
if you are going to direct pump this boiler to the zones, you better be sure your smallest zone will take at least 2 GPM, which is the bare minimum TT wants to see going through this boiler to avoid rampant short cycling. 30 dt on minimum fire.
usually you need a bypass. modulating pumps, not a good idea in this case, unless you are primary/secondary OR very sure your smallest zone has adequate minimum flow.NRT.Rob -
good point
I'm used to modulating zone valves which we can use to enforce minimum flows. -
Bumble Bee
I'd more inclined to use a Delta-T pump over "P"
In this case. Control delta you control flow rate. Can also
do set point with it."The bitter taste of a poor installation remains much longer than the sweet taste of the lowest price." -
Thanks for all the help!
According to the TT manual, the flowrate through the heat exchanger needs to be a minimum of 5 GPM. I have the internal Grundfos circulator set to LO. With 1 CH zone running I calculated the flowrate in the zone to be 1.4 GPM based on the delta T I measured across the zone and the heat load. I am struggling with figuring our a way to balance the flows in the zones to the flow in the boiler. The flow in the zones is dependent on the # of zones running so this is a dynamic problem. I notice a much longer delta T at the boiler when multiple zones are running.
Would it make sense to install a buffer tank on this system? The zones and the boiler would draw from the tank so the flows would not have to balance. -
Of course it is.."The bitter taste of a poor installation remains much longer than the sweet taste of the lowest price." -
Bumble Bee
I know it's a perfect fit for a boiler circ if he uses a buffer tank as a hydraulic separator. Again, wish they offered more size options on the BumbleBee.
Will the ∆T algorithm respond properly to zones turning on and off? I can envision a few scenarios where it might mis-read the conditions. ∆P will change flow based on zone valves and not fight the ORC. -
I've had 2 Beta's running for 2 years piped along with Alphas so we could run each one at periodic times to compare. The Bee kicks its ***. Not only in its ability to move more GPM but less electrical usage as well. Yes it will react to the zones opening and closing."The bitter taste of a poor installation remains much longer than the sweet taste of the lowest price." -
How did you measure for the comparison?
Did you go by what the circs were reporting, or did you have external measurements of some sort? I ask because, judging by the specs for both, the Alpha should have a slight edge in terms of max head and max flow, with little difference in power usage. It's always good to get these first hand reports, especially as the circ is not widely available yet. I like that it has a more granular GPM gauge, as long as it's accurate! -
pump curves
Are significant here, though the manufacturers don't go out of their way to mention it. Running an ECM circ in the bottom 30% of its range most of the time will result in very low hydraulic efficiency. No matter how efficient the motor is, if the pump can only transfer 30% of that energy into pressure, annual energy use will be higher.
As soon as Taco offers some hydraulic options (003, 0010, etc.) for the BumbleBee, I'll start putting them on the majority of boilers. Wilo offers a range of Stratos hydraulics, but nothing anywhere near as flat as a 0010 -- put the small one on a 399 and it never gets off the bottom of its curve. That's ignoring completely the cost of actually making it work on ∆T (pump module, two sensors, and a controller.) Same story for the Magna. -
Can you elaborate?
I'm not clear on how hydraulic efficiency relates to where on the curve you are, especially with ECM circs that vary their electrical consumption in order to meet lesser loads. Got any good links that explain this? Thanks in advance... -
hydraulic efficiency
Every pump has an efficiency curve as well as a pump curve. They're not easily available for smaller circs, but if you look at something larger like http://www.taco-hvac.com/uploads/FileLibrary/KV,KS3007_1160.pdf you can see that there is a range near the middle of the hump in the curve where the pump works best. Even with a VFD or an ECM, size matters! Siggy covers this pretty well in MHH. -
Looking at the alpha, the fixed speed 3 curve is concave and not convex (although the other two are slightly convex.) What would one conclude on the basis of that?
I checked out what MHH had to say on the issue but there seems to be little in-depth discussion of variable speed ECM circs. I mean, hydraulic efficiency is what it is, but is it possible that with variable output wire-to-water efficiency could be good enough at lower outputs to make up for it? -
Lowering speed with VFD generally shifts a pump curve towards the origin. The Alpha curves demonstrate that the relationship is a bit more complex than that, but starting in the sweet spot of the pump will improve things. A curve showing RPM versus hydraulic efficiency at differing system heads would likely prove interesting. -
Based on Each
Pumps own readings. They are hooked into a hydro air zone."The bitter taste of a poor installation remains much longer than the sweet taste of the lowest price."

Accident snarls traffic in Gorst; driver injured
All lanes of State Route 3 near Division Avenue in Gorst have reopened to traffic, after a two-car accident that left a 25-year-old Bremerton man seriously injured.
The driver, whose identity has not been released, was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where officers are waiting to question him about the accident.
Trooper Krista Hedstrom said the injured man was driving a Ford Ranger, and that it "took a long time" to extract him from the wreckage. She said that it was likely the driver was at fault, even though there was no evidence of drugs, alcohol or a cell phone on the scene.
At around 7 a.m. on Tuesday morning, a collision had blocked both directions of the road. Later, northbound traffic was being diverted off at Sunnyslope Road, to Old Clifton Road and then onto State Route 16.
According to a spokesman for South Kitsap Fire & Rescue, the crash occurred when a southbound Ford Ranger pickup failed to negotiate the curve, crossed the center line and collided with a garbage truck in the oncoming lane.
Hedstrom said the driver of the garbage truck was not injured.
Washington State Patrol and Washington State Department of Transportation personnel are investigating the mishap.
Hedstrom said that the State Patrol "had a pretty good idea" of the injured driver's identity, but that it would not be released before it could be confirmed. She said the name of the driver was not the same as that on the registration.

2004 Draft thread

Re: 2004 Draft thread
i have to agree with M2 on this one.
no way in hell can you pass up the chance at the next barry larkin(maybe better) to take another in a long line of arm surgery victems.
look, bailey is a very talented player, and everything looks great from teh outside. he's tall, has a good throwing motion and he throws hard, but chris gruler threw hard too.... i mean, when will this organization (and others) learn that high school pitchers rarely work out. for every kerry wood or josh beckett, there are 3-4 other guys who blow out there arms and never reach their potential. guys like wood and beckett are the exception, not the rule.
now on to nelson. this guy IS bj upton, only about 4 inches shorter. he is a true 5-tool middle infeilder: he hits for average, he hits for power, he runs as well as anyone in the draft, he can pick it at short and despite t.j. surgery, he has an absolute cannon for an arm. imo, he is as close to a shore thing as it gets as far as the baseball draft is concerned.
imo, shortstop is just as big a need as pitching. look at what we have in the minor leagues as far as middle infielders:
felipe lopez: dont make me laugh. "no socks" is NOT a major league player. he's a punk with a weak bat, laughable defense and a general lack of common sense.
rey olmedo: he's a decent little player, but he'll never be more than a juan castro type.
edwin encarnacion: he's gonna be a third baseman.
it's obvious we needed a shortstop, yet the new braintrust decided to waste another high pick on a guy who will probably blow his arm out within the next two years.
for baileys sake, i hope i'm wrong and he can buck the trend of, not only h.s. pitchers, but reds pitchers in general. but i just get the feeling, while chris nelson is playing in all-star games for the colorado rockies, homer will be sitting at home in his cowboy boots, watching the games from his couch.

Lady Eagles head to district title game
MOUNTLAKE TERRACE — The Lady Eagles basketball team clinched another important victory on Saturday, Feb. 9, when they topped the Snohomish Panthers 45-26 in the Wesco 4A District 1 semifinal game at Mountlake Terrace High School.
The Eagles managed to gain an 8-4 lead in the first quarter and kept that lead throughout the game, scoring 11 points in the second quarter to Snohomish's seven, a 19-11 halftime score.
Snohomish followed close behind in the third quarter, but never made up the point differential, and when the Eagles scored 17 points in the fourth quarter, the Panthers couldn't keep up.
Senior Krista Showalter scored eight points, while Taylor Graham, Jayla Russ and Lyndsay Leatherman each scored seven. Lindsay Brown and Jessica Ludwig scored six points each, while Winter Brown and Marissa Swegle each scored two points.
The girls will face Lynnwood at Mountlake Terrace High School at 8 p.m. for the District 1 Championship game. Both teams will compete in the 4A Regional Tournament starting on Feb. 22.

Tim Tebow was a pretty decent college quarterback, but was projected by most to be a third or fourth rounder. Instead the Denver Broncos took a big risk on him near the end of the first round, and it's at least paying off in jersey sales. From April through June, Tebow jerseys have sold better on NFLShop.com than any other player's.
While it should be taken into account that draft picks and recently traded players are going to sell better during those months — it's still pretty ridiculous considering Tebow hasn't even taken a snap at a NFL training camp yet.
Other than hearing his name called at the NFL draft, Tebow's only association has been extremely negative — starring in a controversial anti-choice commercial with his mother during the last Super Bowl. Drew Brees who won that Super Bowl — and tragically lost his own mother to suicide right before last season started — has only the third-best selling jersey behind new Redskins quarterback Donovan McNabb. Brett Favre, who's yet to officially announce he's returning for a second season with the Vikings, is the number six seller.
More talented rookies Ndamukong Suh, Sam Bradford, Dez Bryant and Eric Berry also are among the top 20 jersey sellers.
I'd be curious to see if any of those Tebow internet jersey sales are from outside the state of Florida. If I was a Broncos fan I'd be praying that Kyle Orton stays healthy and Tebow and Brady Quinn never see the field.

Daily News Staff Writer
Palm Beach County's first synagogue, the historic Temple Beth Israel, was welcomed Tuesday when it rolled on to the campus of Temple Beth El on Flagler Drive.
"This is a little bit of a homecoming," said Rabbi Leonid Feldman. "We started in that building, and we are coming back to that building."
A small group turned out to watch the white building on wheels inch onto the grounds to the far end of the property, where it will be rebuilt as a chapel. There will be an attachment for classrooms, a kitchenette and a reception area. In the center of the campus will be a Holocaust Memorial Garden, which is expected to open this year.
Three generations of the Yeckes family have been working on the chapel project. Joyce Yeckes funded it in memory of her husband Arthur; son Steve Yeckes and synagogue vice president is the architect who will renovate it; and grandson Dan Yeckes is the contractor.
"He was a wonderful human being and a philanthropic man," Joyce Yeckes said of her husband, who served on the synagogue board of directors in the mid-1960s. "He is smiling in heaven."
The chapel will be named in his honor.
"It went exactly as planned," said Dan Yeckes, owner of Tydan Construction Inc. The building was elevated and moved about a mile north, from 2020 Broward Ave. to its new home at 2815 N. Flagler Drive. The biggest challenge was coordinating the project with city and timing it to successfully roll over a stretch of Flagler under construction.
The move had a minor hiccup while rounding the corner into the temple entryway. At that point, jacks were added to hoist the 900-square-foot building over a site wall.
Work is expected to soon begin on the foundation with the chapel completed by the fall. In 2005, Hurricane Wilma took the roof off the previous chapel on campus.
Dedicated in 1924, Temple Beth Israel was started by six Jewish families. Within a few years, the congregation split into the Reform Temple Israel and the Conservative Temple Beth El. Temple Israel stayed in the building but Beth El moved to Fern Street. Later it was home to a Catholic church, a Greek Orthodox church and then a missionary Baptist church. The developer, WCI Communities, bought the site where it stood in 2004.
Once it was designated a historic building in 2005, an effort began to look for someone to take care of it. "It needed a new home and we needed a new chapel," said Bonnie Patipa, synagogue co-president.
The building withstood hurricanes and flooding, Dan Yeckes said. It has a second floor mezzanine and a small dome in the front. It has a hollow clay tile roof, Dade County Pine floors, thick plaster walls and cypress beams.
Once renovated, there will be a formal dedication.
Architectural honor — Meanwhile, Temple Beth El was recently nominated by the Florida Association of the American Institute of Architects (A1A Florida) as one of the top 100 buildings in the Florida Architecture: 100 Years, 100 Places competition.
Starting Sunday, the public can vote for the most architecturally stunning building in the state at www.aiafla.org.
Temple Beth El's Fread Sanctuary, built in 1978, was funded by Palm Beacher Robert Rapaport, who named it after his parents. "He worked very closely with an architect, one of the greatest in America — Alfred Browning Parker," said Feldman. In fact, the sanctuary is pictured in The Architecture of Alfred Browning Parker by Randolph C. Henning.
Middle East talk — Resident William Langfan will speak on the "Peace Process or Procession of Chicanery" at 10 a.m. Wednesday at Temple Emanu-El.
Langfan is a World War II veteran who was in the Battle of the Bulge and one of the liberators of the Buchenwald concentration camp. After the Army, he earned a law degree and went into the real estate business in New York.
Music at Bethesda — The Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea will host a recital at 3:30 p.m. Sunday featuring John Senior on harp. Evensong, led by the Bethesda Choir, will start at 4 p.m. A free-will offering will be taken, followed by a reception. See www.royalpoincianachapel.org
Opera favorites — Palm Beach Opera's Young Artists will perform a free concert of arias, duets and ensembles at 5 p.m. Saturday at the Royal Poinciana Chapel. Featured will be selections from IPagliacci, Il Barbiere di Siviglia, Romeo et Juliette, Tanhäuser, Rigoletto, Gianni Schicchi and more.
Sunday worship and brunch — The Rev. John Genco will be the speaker at the 10:30 a.m. worship at The Paramount Church. His topic will be "The Compassion of God and the Compassion of People." A pot-luck brunch will follow.
For Lent — St. Edward Catholic Church has Lenten observances leading up to Easter Sunday, including Masses weekdays at 7:30 and 8:30 a.m., Saturdays at 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., and Sundays at 7, 9 and 10:30 a.m. and noon.
On Fridays, except for March 2, there is an exposition of the Most Sacred Sacrament after the 8:30 a.m. Mass and stations of the cross with benediction at noon.
Wednesday evening devotions begin at 7 o'clock and include benediction except for the penance service March 28.
On March 11, vespers and benediction will begin at 3 p.m. For more information, call 832-0400.

Talk about poor customer service.
Obviously, they don't make or carry the products and have them shipped in from China although everything on their website suggests they produce and ship from good old Iowa.
We should have read his website more carefully, because he claims most products are from from Wisconsin. If so, why does it take several months to ship something out?

I have done business with Breadtopia many times over the past 2-years. In addition toALL of my orders been processed and shipped on-time,the owner, Eric, has been very helpful in providing breadbaking advice and has alwasy been professional and friendly.
I have suggested Breadtopia to many of my friends and family as a great source for bread baking supplies, and all of them have been delighted with the service and support they receive from Eric.
Regarding the original complaint, it is without merit and anyone doing business with Breadtopia will no doubt be as happy as I am. In fact, I'm just about to order a couple more clay bakers and I'm confident that they will arrive on schedule as promised -- just like the past 4-5 orders.
I have purchased oblong bakers, oval bakers, mini loaf pans, kevlar gloves, whisks, proofing baskets, and liners.

I just would like to help Eric to recover from that unfortunate - hard to judge whether it was fair or unfair - complaint. I would like to share my positive experiences with Breadtopia.
I have ordered from Eric's website on 2 occasions and both times I received excellent service that exceeded my expectations. The simple gesture such as a handwritten thank you note, tells me that this businnesman cares a lot about the image he creates. The first time I ordered, I indeed had to wait a long time but not because there was a delay in shipment but because they were out of stock and this was well posted on the website. It was my decision to wait. I could've bought it from other sources but I wasn't willing to pay more as Breadtopia had the best price. This makes me wonder that maybe this complainer just didn't read the "fine print" and all of sudden freaked out. I have trouble believing that Eric would lose his temper. No, I haven't talked to him in person, but I have e-mailed him several times with questions or positive comments about his service or his website and he never left my e-mails unanswered. Somebody who has patience and spends time to do it, takes pride in his service. I am very happy with the products I ordered, good price, excellent quality, good service and I am delighted with Breadtopia posts, videos, recipes. For the last 2 years, I've directed many of my friends and family members to Breadtopia after they tried my breads and asked for recipes and guidance. I use the website regularly to check if there's anything new or just to enjoy what other bread enthusiasts have to say, or what they have been doing. I love it and value it and I would hate to see Eric discouraged by some disgruntled customer. Keep up the good work Eric!

My experience with Breadtopia
AUTHOR: Dougirv - (Canada)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, March 21, 2010
I received the starter, successfully began a sourdough, and here we are over three years later, still making sourdough bread from that same mother starter that he sent me.
In turn I have sent that starter to many other places in the USA to various friends. SC and as far apart from there as Mexico.
I have had nothing but good vibes from the owner of Breadtopia and I really would like to hear the other side of this story. Did the complainant get his pizza stone? Or did he get a refund?
I would really be amazed if neither of these things occurred.

After snagging a highly sought recruit from Southwest Florida two years ago, Clemson has done it again. And from the same school.
South Fort Myers defensive back Jayron Kearse verbally committed to Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney over the phone Thursday. Clemson website Tigers Illustrated first reported the commitment.
The 6-foot-4, 195-pound Kearse will join 2011 South Fort Myers grad Sammy Watkins at Clemson next season. Last season Watkins was one of the top wide receivers in the nation and became just the third true freshman to ever earn All-America honors.
South head coach Grant Redhead, who accompanied Kearse on a visit to Clemson in June, confirmed the rising senior's commitment to the Daily News. Kearse was unavailable for comment Thursday night.
"It's a great choice," Redhead said. "We're going to have two up there next year."
Though Redhead said the commitment is solid, Kearse has a history of changing his mind. He committed to Auburn last summer before switching to Miami in January. Kearse, the nephew of former North Fort Myers and NFL player Javon Kearse, decommitted from the Hurricanes in June.
Kearse and a dozen of his teammates went to Dabo Swinney's weeklong camp in June. Kearse visited his top four choices, also taking trips to Auburn, Miami and Southern California.
Though he's been an offensive star in his prep career, Kearse will play defense at Clemson. Redhead said the Tigers will use Kearse, rated the No. 13 athlete in the Class of 2013 by recruiting website Rivals, as a hybrid strong safety and linebacker.
At Cypress Lake his first three years, Kearse played quarterback, running back and receiver. He transferred to South Fort Myers the spring semester of his junior year. Redhead said Kearse will play defensive back and receiver for the Wolfpack.
"We're going to make sure he's in shape because he'll probably get 80 to 90 snaps a game," Redhead said.
Though Kearse had scholarship offers from 17 schools in Bowl Championship Series conferences, Redhead acknowledged that Watkins helped open the door for Kearse. After recruiting Watkins two years ago, the Clemson coaches were familiar with South Fort Myers as well as Redhead.
The Wolfpack coach said Kearse should fit well with the Tigers because, like Watkins, he's more comfortable in Clemson's small town atmosphere.
"He's more like Sammy; he's a quiet kid who's fairly reserved," Redhead said. "He should thrive there."

Reese Witherspoon Engaged!
Reese Witherspoon is making it official -- she and boyfriend Jim Toth are engaged!
Never one to be left in the dust, actress Reese Witherspoon joined a slew of other celebs this week and got engaged! Reese's lucky man is none other than super-agent Jim Toth, her boyfriend of one year. "They are extremely happy," Reese's rep told UsMagazine.com. Toth is an agent with Creative Artists Agency, who reps Reese, but he doesn't handle her bookings. The pair started dating last January, shortly after Reese's split from Jake Gyllenhaal. A source close to the couple says Toth is close to Reese's two kids with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, 11-year-old Ava and 7-year-old Deacon, even staying with them while Reese is away filming. "She is definitely happy, in love and definitely wants to settle down," said the insider. Reese and Phillippe divorced in 2008. read on for more reese witherspoonReese Witherspoon talks How Do You Know

Is there an Austin Bassist Group? I've been scouring TB looking for an Austin Bassist support group of dudes and dudettes who swing the thudstick (as Chef calls it) in the ATX, and so far, nuttin'. Does anyone know of an existing group? And if not, is anyone interested in being in a group like that? And if not ...carrots! |
Hey BigEarl, there's a "Texas Bassist" club in the "Off Topic" forum, use this link: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f28/te...t-club-396474/ |
I'll be in Austin for the USGP this weekend, does that count? Hey, while I'm there, have you got any tips for places to eat, or places to go see music this Fri/Sat/Sun night? |
We Austinites are not joiners. Spindoc, good luck with traffic at the Formula 1 race. It will likely be a nightmare. (Unless you're one of the bigwigs flown in by helicopter.) |
Thanks wayno. We're staying in Lakeline and will be taking a shuttle from the airport to get to the track. Likewise we'll be taking the MetroRail to get to and from downtown each night. Hopefully this will keep us from getting too bothered by traffic. Have you got any suggestions about favorite places in town, or any other tips about visiting? |
Wow, I gave up on this thread and y'all came out of the woodwork! Agreed, wayno, we are not joiners, that why I wanted to START the group! LOL! (...but then again, no one would join after I did. Now I'm sad and maybe a little embarrased.) Yes,spindoc, we are all expecting a ratcheting of the pain that already exists when it comes to Austin and Traffic in reagards to F1. Great for Austin, horrible if you're a Southie trying to get to a gig! |
Asking where to listen to music in Austin, that's like asking where to find a fish at a fish farm...it's called 6th Street :-) Simply one of my all time favorite places, ever. |
OK, can't wait! |
spindoc, there are also four outdoor stages near 3rd and Congress (adjacent to the Warehouse District) that will have a bunch of free shows each night. Some local acts, some regional/national. I might even talk myself into going downtown to catch Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk on Friday. Check this site for more info. http://austinfanfest.com/ Enjoy Austin and F1 and hope MetroRail works out.

Thanks BK. Yeah I'll probably be in the thick of the Fanfest stuff. Also plan on hitting Antone's Friday night and The Belmont Saturday night for free shows (the latter featuring TB member GriffinREX on bass). And I just found out Collective Soul's playing at the new amphitheater at the track late Saturday afternoon after the qualifying and support races are done. Definitely stoked! |
