We live in a '61 Eichler in Terra Linda/San Rafael with the original circuit panel. One of our 30amp circuit breakers is on the blink and we're advised by some Eichler owners to just go ahead and spend the ~$1700-$1800 to have the entire panel replaced, complete with permit. We're also told that these Zinsco circuit breakers are not being manufactured anymore. But my uncle has one and is willing to replace it for us(he's a retired electrician.) Can someone weigh in on the pros and cons of replacing the entire panel vs. just switching an individual circuit breaker?
some folks have pointed to zinsco panels as "dangerous" (specific to the brand/design as it relates to a potential equipment fault and fire hazard) and many folks have had them replaced. it's pretty easy to read up on the dangers of the design.
in our models (1963), the individual 15A runs were pretty maxed out (some covering 2+ rooms) and the 100A service was a bit amemic overall. if you're planning on staying in the house and plan to add anything electrical (AC, new kitchen circuits for a remodel, hot tub, etc.) you might think to have the existing 100A service upgraded to 200A and the existing zinsco panel replaced at the same time.
we've also found that -- in our area -- there's only so many upgrades that can be supported by a particular transformer. we were able to upgrade to 200A, but our neighbor was limited by PG+E to a 125A upgrade (lesson = be first in line).
or... pro = cost savings // con = potential/known fire hazard
another way to look at it: "One of our 30amp circuit breakers is on the blink" ... there's a lot of current going through a 30A breaker and if it's failing, that's bad news as it relates to the aforementioned fire hazard. fortunately, this is a failed breaker that you've discovered on your own... how much do you want to press your luck?
Indeed, these old panels are a mess and a safety hazard. We recently had ours replaced with a new 125A panel in conjunction with some electrical upgrades. You can get a number of additional breakers in a new panel (ours is square D combo all-in-one) without upgrading your service entrance, this making it possible to add new dedicated circuits for TV, computers, etc. without a huge PG&E project.
an unsolicited ' 2 Cents Worth'
Low Amperage circuit breakers go bad occasionally and are easy and inexpensive to replace. Your Dad can carefully inspect your main panel and see if there are any problems brewing. Bad connections create lots of heat and problems. Some Cities (such as Palo Alto) make electricians torque each wiring connection right in front of the Inspector. Many contractors complain about this, but City officials are preventing future problems.
The most expensive electrical panel problems are not from wiring, but come from bad connections where the circuit breakers physically connect to the metal 'buss bars' (various spellings). These are the vertical internal metal bars that connect to the big wires that enter through the top of the panel from the roof. To become powered, circuit breakers snap onto these metal bars. A bad connection here easily damages the 'bar', creates a lot of heat and often ruins the whole panel along with some of the wiring.
...now for the two cents worth of opinion....only replace the breaker right now. The most economical method would be to wait until you are remodeling, adding electrical circuits, installing solar and/or doing other electrical work to upgrade the panel. The Modern Eichler should have a 200 amp panel. If you use very little power, install the 200 amp panel anyway....since it costs very little more and affects the value of your Eichler.
Randy from Dura-Foam Roofing and Solar Center
A 200A panel is NOT required to have a "modern Eichler". We added a sauna, outdoor kitchen, and additional lighting simply by upgrading to a larger 125A panel with more breakers. All fully permitted. There's still room reserved for an electric car charger. Going to 200A requires a service upgrade from PG&E, and given many Eichlers (including ours) have underground utilities, you're talking thousands of dollars extra for the pleasure. Don't waste your money.

Called by Optis at an Early Age
Long before world cruising on Wild Card, Fatty got his start in sailing in just the way that many kids do.
I was skipping small, flat stones into Vinoy Basin, in St. Petersburg, Florida, while waiting for my father. I believed that, perhaps, I was the best stone skipper in the whole universe—well, at least for my age group. My lucky coin was in the pocket of my torn shorts. The rabbit's foot was tied around the piece of string I used as a belt. I was shoeless, hatless, shirtless, and brown as a berry. Huck Finn had nothing on me. But I was confident. My father would bring good news. My father had to bring good news.
I tried not to look him in the eye as he approached from the Vinoy Optimist Youth Sailing Program. He was walking slow. That wasn't good. Even worse, he had that look of solemn compassion on his face. I knew I was sunk.
He bent down in front of me, smiled, smoothed my cowlick, and grabbed both my arms. I could tell he wanted to hug me but was holding off. This was man-to-man stuff. "No exceptions, son," he said. "Yacht racing is all about rules, and they can't bend theirs for you. You'll have to wait."
I didn't say anything. I didn't cry. After all, I wasn't a baby. So I just blinked and blinked through damp eyes.
A few days later, when I was finishing up my breakfast at the galley table of the schooner Elizabeth at slip number seven, I lost my temper with my mother.
"But I don't want to be 8 and a half years old anymore!" I screamed at her as I climbed down from the seat and dashed up the companionway ladder into the cockpit. "I'm sick of 8 and a half!"
I could see my sisters glance at each other as I scooted by. They knew. Everyone knew. It was Saturday.
Time hung heavy. Flies buzzed. It was going to be another St. Petersburg and Tampa Bay scorcher. I sighed as I rummaged around the dock box. Finally, I selected a medium-sized engine. I filled my engine—which looked a lot like a coffee can with a small hole punched in it—with water and went zooming around the marina while making motorcycle noises. This used to be the most marvelous thing in the world for me to do—but not any longer. I wanted to drive something real. Not pretend. Not make-believe. Real!
Each time my coffee can would empty, I'd pull over to the nearest slip's water faucet and refuel.
I kept glancing at my Timex wristwatch. I'd found it while diving under Ranger III, Dave and Irene Winter's massive steel head-boat that went to Mullet Key each day. They'd hired me to find a wallet that had been dropped overboard, and I'd ended up finding both. But my new watch didn't have a five-minute timer with an alarm. I'd have to wait until I was an adult for that.
I returned to Elizabeth at 0915 and asked respectfully, "Permission to use the ship's binoculars, please."
"Granted," my father said. "I'll hand them up to you if you want."
I wanted. So I shinnied up the outermost dock piling, and then bent down to grab the binocks from my father. There were about a dozen Optimist prams milling around the harbor. I had a perfect view of the racecourse. The floppy-hatted guy in the skiff with the outboard was setting out the marks. Sometimes, if the wind changed, he'd move them. The first leg would be to windward, always.
Here came the Opti named Fourth Avenue Cleaners. She was fast. But today she flew the mainsail with the number 23 on it, which was all bagged out. If she'd had sail number 31, she'd be unstoppable.
I wondered if they intentionally put the slower sails on the faster boats—or maybe they didn't pay any attention. If it was random, that could be used to an advantage. On the other hand, if it wasn't random, that, too, could be used. Knowledge was power, especially on the racecourse.
The gun went off. Sixteen boats scooted across the starting line. Four of them kept going on starboard tack until they ran out of wind, shadowed by the row of palm trees by the water's edge. Dummies. All the smart ones had tacked away just before sailing into the hole. Pressure was important. It was like the gas pedal, my father said.
"Cookies?" my mother asked. She was on the dock now, too, with my sisters. The whole family was watching.
"Sure," I said and reached down for a handful. A yacht racer had to keep up his strength.
"Which tack did they start on?" asked my father.
"Starboard, mostly," I said. "Because the starboard-tack vessel has rights over a port-tack vessel."
"Correct," he said. "And it's best to keep in the middle of the course and to stay with lifts and tack on headers."
I wasn't too sure what that meant, but I was too busy watching the action at the top mark. I could hear them screaming at each other: "Starboard!" and "Room!" and "Mast abeam!"
"Why so tilted now?" I asked my father.
"Boats are heeled, son, never tilted," he told me. "Pinball machines are tilted! Anyway, in light airs downwind, the clever skipper heels the vessel so that the sprit-rigged mainsail gets max exposure to the higher winds aloft and the boat's wetted surface is reduced. Look at number 27 scoot!"
"That's Tall Guy," I said, having assigned each an arbitrary name. "He's always in the top three. He's good."

BEIRUT: Type the word "Beirut" into Google, click on "Images," and hundreds of photographs will appear. Most feature a slice of the Mediterranean bordered by a modern, prosperous-looking city ruled by skyscrapers and yachts.
The remainder tends toward photographs of devastated buildings, crumbling masonry and twisted metal, smoke still rising from the ruins. "Through the Lens of ...," a group exhibition featuring eleven photographers' views of Beirut, is refreshingly free of such clichés. The exhibition, currently on show at Clemenceau's Espace Kettaneh Kunigk, is a retrospective of the photographers exhibited by the gallery over the past four years.
Though Beirut landmarks do appear in the work, they are presented from unusual angles. Randa Mirza, for example, has on display a beautiful series of black-and-white photographs taken at Pigeons' Rock.
Rather than photographing the rocks from the Corniche at Raouche – a favorite vantage point for tourists to take a quick snapshot – she takes as her subject the Lebanese boys who flock to the muddy banks near the rock formations each summer, competing with one another by diving into the sea below.
One particularly beautiful image captures a boy in mid-air, arms spread gracefully at the apex of his flight as he swallow dives into the sea from a dizzying height. Behind him, eager young faces watch his progress, while in the foreground a close-up of the back of a boy's head captures the beautiful play of sunlight reflecting off wet black hair.
Another high-point of the show is Nadim Asfar's series of snapshots entitled "Thinking of Tomorrow, Emotional Landscapes." Asfar's series of 42 photographs captures moments from his daily life. Many are taken from the balcony of his flat in Mar Mikhael, overlooking the decaying grandeur of his neighborhood's historic buildings, which he photographs in sunlight, in moonlight and in the rain.
As a series, these images make a striking set, providing a wonderful portrait of Beirut's multifaceted architecture and ever-changing moods. While the overall impression is one of vibrant colors and jumbled forms, a closer inspection reveals that the individual photographs are often very simple – a tangle of clothing on a bed, caught in a ray of sunlight, for example.
Some are more striking than others and, taken separately, not all possess the same appeal. While one delicate photo captures a group of men conferring in the dark in Martyrs' Square, caught in a blur of yellow light, a Lebanese flag flying above them, another photograph is an unattractive image of a little two-bar heater on a tiled floor.
Asfar explains that the photographs were "motivated by emotional calls." What all have in common is a quiet approach to seeking beauty in the mundane – the deep green of the cedar tree print on a tablecloth or the light of a full moon on the dirty walls of an old building in Mar Mikhael.
Not all the photographs on display are as unusual – Christian Carle Catafago's two close-ups of olive trees, for example, are attractive but not particularly original.
His set of black-and-white seascapes, however, do succeed in capturing a side of Beirut not seen in any tourist brochure, presenting views of the Mediterranean in winter – storm-tossed, wild and menacing.
An exception to the Beirut theme is provided by two photographs by Lebanese-Brazilian photographer Lamia Maria Abillama, "The Old Women and the Candles" and "Distraction at the Church."
Both photographs were taken during a trip to Yerevan, Armenia, and capture locals at church in unexpected moments. The first shows four worshippers in silent contemplation of their votive candles, while in the foreground a hunched, sorrowful-looking old lady turns away from the light, her lined face slightly blurred by movement.
While not every photograph will stay with you forever, almost every artist on show provides a unique perspective in their work.
Thanks to the quirkiness of several of the photographers – not least Nancy Debs Hadad's talent for finding faces in old machinery – "Through the Lens of ..." is a refreshing and entertaining exhibition.
"Through the Lens of ..." is on display at Clemenceau's Espace Kettaneh Kunigk until Sept. 10. For more information please call 01-738-706.

Comments about 16-in Straight Jaw Tongue and Groove Plier:
Years ago, my brother came home, after Dad sent him to the parts store for something we were working on, with one of these. Dad thought it was a crazy waste of money, but, after it solved the problem he was struggling with on that project and he used it for other things, he stopped saying it.
You don't need pliers this big often; but, when you do, not much else will do the job. And Channellock pliers are just about unkillable.

Biography of David Sive
As a founding partner of the Sive, Paget & Riesel, P.C. environmental law and litigation firm in New York City, David Sive earned the name of "father of environmental law" thanks to his work on groundbreaking environmental cases over thirty years ago.
David Sive received a Bachelor of Laws degree from Columbia Law School in 1948 and has served as a leader in environmental law and litigation as a practitioner, scholar, and advocate for almost forty years. During his career, he represented public entities, individuals, industry, nongovernmental organizations and the commercial sector in environmental matters ranging from scenic preservation to hazardous waste. Professor Sive has taught environmental law at law schools throughout the United States including Pace Law School. He has published extensively in his areas of expertise, including an environmental column for the National Law Journal.
David Sive began his litigation work concerning various environmental issues prior to the United States Congress's passage of any environmental statutes, and even before the creation of the United States Environmental Protection Agency. He is perhaps best known for litigating the landmark environmental case, Scenic Hudson Preservation Conference v. Federal Power Commission, 354 F.2d 608 (2d Cir. 1965).

Sonic waves $323m in DivX marriage proposal
Roxio owner Sonic has sucked up DivX in a $323m deal it claims will streamline "over the top" movie distribution. DivX is best known for its codec technology, which enables decent quality video transmission, and has cropped up in a range of devices from handsets to TVs. It is notorious for a long-running dispute with Universal …
Remind Me
What was the name of that once good CD burning product that turned into Roxio and became a steaming turd? Will that be the future of Divx?
Oh yeah, I remember that, torrents of pirated hollywood movies and porn used it. Happy days.
Sonic MyDVD and I still use it. Simple and works like a charm. Roxio uhh!
DivX. Stoopid me puchased that encoder package. Takes over 3 hours to encode 45 mins of video using a 3.4 Ghz HT machine. Cannot read all formats it is supposed too (and DVDs). The DivX "crowd" were of no help. Now I just .iso for free! 15 minutes tops.

U.S. bishops plan PR campaign to soften image
- Tweet
- Share this
ATLANTA (Reuters) - U.S. Catholic bishops announced plans on Thursday for an ambitious public relations drive to soften and shape their image and reach out to the younger generation using social media.
In a lively session at their national conference in Atlanta, several bishops expressed dismay that they are slow to get their talking points across and are perceived as too confrontational.
The recent Vatican crackdown on the largest organization of U.S. nuns turned into a public relations "debacle" for the bishops, said Cardinal Sean O'Malley of Boston.
He complained that the Vatican's decision to put bishops in charge of rooting out "radical feminist" elements within the nuns' group was linked in the secular media to unrelated events, such as the bishops' investigation of the Girl Scouts, with negative consequences for the church's image.
The bishops are looking into concerns that the Girl Scouts sometimes work with groups that promote access to contraception. The U.S. church's image also has been hurt sex abuse scandals.
"Our church, both in the States and at the Holy See, does not do a good job of communicating around controversial topics," O'Malley said. "We need more help and more sophistication in our messaging."
Added Bishop Blase Cupich of Spokane, Washington, "We need to teach in a way that's not combative, but inviting."
While several bishops said they wanted to push their views directly to the public, without mediation by the press, Bishop Gerald Kicanas of Tucson, Arizona, urged his brethren to remain open to all forums of communication.
"It's important to engage people who have positions that are possibly different than ours, so that we can build coalitions," Kicanas said. "We shouldn't always be overly sensitive about criticism."
The bishops' public relations campaign is still in the early stages but tentative plans include appointing a high-profile, always-on-call spokesman and creating a more active presence on Twitter and Facebook. Bishop John Wester of Salt Lake City also announced the launch of a private social network for bishops only - a sort of Facebook of the magisterium.
The campaign "will be a tremendous expense," said Archbishop Wilton Gregory of Atlanta. "But the greater cost, I believe, is not doing it."
The bishops are moving to post more Catholic resources online as well. On Thursday, they announced that the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which has sold nearly 1 million print copies, has been posted on the Conference of Catholic Bishops' website in e-book format.
Outreach efforts also include a Spanish-language video, now in production, that will take the form of a tasteful soap opera, tracing one family's interactions over generations. The drama aims to promote traditional marriage and combat rhetoric that frames gay marriage as an issue of equality, civil rights or justice, said Bishop Salvatore Cordileone of Oakland.
The Spanish video is part of a broader campaign promoted with the slogan "Marriage: Unique for a Reason." It includes several English-language videos already distributed to dioceses.

The Way of the Gun: Estimating Firearms Traffic Across the U.S.-Mexico Border Topher McDougal, David A. Shirk, Robert Muggah, and John H. Patterson 2013
Kroc School of Peace Studies Professor Topher McDougal recently co-authored a reoprt on cross-border small arms traffic between the United States and Mexico along with Trans-Border Institute Director David Shirk, Igarape Institute Research Director Robert Muggah, and recent Kroc School graduate John Patterson. The report uses a unique approach that is different from other studies previously conducted. The authors are able to estimate a total demand for trafficking across the border, both in terms of firearms and dollar sales for the firearms industry.
Dos Fronteras: Comparing the Southern Borders of the United States and Mexico Jose Maria Roman and David A. Shirk 2012 The Dos Fronteras Report comparatively analyzes the border regions of San Diego-Tijuana and Spain-Gibraltar and highlights three main issues that manifest very visibly in border regions: migration and immigration policy, trade and economic relations, and security measures.

CD/LP/Track Review
Taylor Ho Bynum Sextet: Asphalt Flowers Forking Paths (2008)
Bynum covers so much ground on this album it could easily serve as fodder for musicians and educators to cherry pick segments and deconstruct Bynum's methodologies. It's unnecessary to expound upon the technicalities; however, the slightly unusual instrumentation yields a polytonal set of interconnects that gracefully align to form the totality of the program. Interestingly enough, Bynum opens and closes the session with gruff cornet drones via a free-form manner of expressionism during his solo jaunts aptly titled "Open" and "Close." Yet in the middle lies a layered panorama of peppy free-bop motifs and animated voicings, largely set forth with a loose groove demeanor and additional metrics that straddle numerous styles.
The dual guitar attack of Mary Halvorsen and Evan O'Reilly often provides an open-air sensibility, teeming with complementary contrasts and whirlwind type exchanges. Moreover, the ensemble morphs its structure between a relaxed display of strength and hip, cross-genre motivations that might be akin to envisioning a musical histogram, complete with dips and spikes.
They touch upon modern jazz-psychedelia in spots, via the guitarists' chunky rock chords. And they venture into free-chamber terrain, complete with the soloists cat 'n mouse exchanges on part two of the five-part composition dedicated to Braxton, "whYeXpliCitieS." Here and throughout, Bynum's wondrous imaginative powers inject maze-like imagery, where various motifs are designed with geometrical shapes and numerous passageways. Part five of "whYeXpliCitieS" finds the musicians delving into folk jazz environs, thanks to violist Jessica Pavone's single-note plucking maneuvers that sound like a banjo. A brilliant workout indeed, due to Bynum and saxophonist Matt Bauder's endearing melody lines that segue into a hyper-mode progressive jazz theme, dappled with subtle breakdowns and bizarre treatments.
The album will certainly stand as one of the more compelling musical statements of 2008, regardless of genre classification. Bynum's an idea-man who knows how to engineer his cutting-edge frameworks into tangible theme-building endeavors which offer a contrapuntal viewpoint to the improvisation quotient. It's a regeneration process that makes a whole lot of sense. More importantly, his music goes against the grain, especially when considering the hordes of new music or free-jazz product that sound more like fragments of strong ideas stitched together, but lacking qualitative substance. There's no white noise type filler material on this near flawlessly performed gala. It's one that will undoubtedly withstand the sands of time.
