Studio tour: M. Robin Cakes
M. Robin – Cake Design from Cineastas on Vimeo.
So its been awhile since I've featured a studio tour, but when Marcella of M. Robin Cakes sent this video over of the behind the scenes of her studio, I knew I had to post it ASAP! I've had a major love affair with her unique designs, and its really the coolest thing to see how she does it…you're definitely going to want to check this out!
Studio tour: Love Me Do Photography
Name: Amanda, Carina, and Nadine
Location: Philadelphia, PA
Company: Love Me Do Photography
What do you do? We're wedding photographers! Our goal is to capture moments in a photojournalistic approach, but with a fine art sensibility.
What is your aesthetic? for the studio: vintage/handmade/eclectic for our photographs: light/natural/classic/fun
How does your studio style convey your professional aesthetic? We've had a few different spaces over the years and I think this one best fits our personalities. It's bright, cheerful, and very unique. We love to have clients in and make them feel at home, while they are surrounded by our images. Right off you can see we work with a lot of crafty clients. In fact a few of them have made us furniture items for the studio. Our giant picnic table, concrete desk and bookshelf were all made by clients, as well as our paper mache buffalo head. We also love vintage styled weddings, which match the other half of our studio. Our pink couch, chairs, buffet table, and most of our frames were all thrift store and flea market finds.
Favorite part of your studio? the giant windows! We get natural light through other studios and the hallway. Since the building is an old school house from the 1800′s, it was designed to let in the most light possible. We don't turn lights at all in the summer.
Where do you go for inspiration? We're all obsessed with Pinterest, but we love other design blogs like Design Sponge or Apartment Therapy for studio ideas. We all look at wedding blogs, but I think we get more photography inspiration from life, films, or just the way light is hitting someone at a certain moment
What tool do you use in your business that you can't live without? Our cameras! Until Canon comes out with a new one, it's the 5d mark II
Is there anything you'd upgrade to? There's always more lenses to buy, we'd love to have all of the Canon L lenses, but then we'd need more camera bags, and then we'd need to hire more assistants to help carry all those bags.
Anything else we should know?Like I said before, the studio is in an old converted school house in Philadelphia. The building is owned and operated by Crane Arts who has another studio/gallery building down the street. There are all kinds of creative people in the building: a theatre company, textile designers, screen printers, and architects to name a few. We have about 600 square feet of bright, cozy, space with very high vaulted ceilings. We meet clients and do all of our editing work in the space. We love to have other weddings vendors over to chat, drink tea, and order mexican food from the restaurant across the street. Oh, and we get to occasionally bring our dogs by. Boris, Amanda's bulldog can be seen in a couple of these photos.

Studio tour: Emilliner
Name: Emily Clark
Location: Indianapolis IN
Company: Emilliner
What do you do? I am a couture headpiece designer with classic millinery training. My brand Emilliner offers unique bridal accessories — fascinators, hats, veils and garters.
What is your aesthetic? Fresh, whimsical, elegant. I love texture, delicate details and fine materials. A lightness and ease are also important. I want my designs
to be accessible.
How does your studio style convey your professional aesthetic? Light and filled with lovely things, my studio has hints of vintage inspiration (check out my hat box collection) along with new creations.
Favorite part of your studio? My studio is part of my home. Its bright and cozy (yellow is my favorite color), sometimes messy and just the perfect environment to create. I have the shortest commute and my little dog Halle hangs with me all day. As a designer I love to remain intimately connected to my craft. My favorite part of the business is the creating. I hand make each Emilliner piece from my studio.
Where do you go for inspiration? I love vintage fashion photographs to put me in the creative mood. I really like going on Pinterest for some good visuals. The materials that I use are also so inspiring, especially natural ones like feathers. Each one has its own texture, movement and shape.
What tool do you use in your business that you can't live without? My best tools are the simple ones — thimble, thread, needle and scissors. I have scores of them all over the studio. I am also partial to one of my vintage fedora hat blocks. Its well worn with cracks and tons of pin marks, clearly well loved by many generations of milliners.
Is there anything you'd upgrade to? I'm always dreaming of a better/sleeker organizational system, but I really do thrive on my chaotic mess. My room is often an explosion of color, bits and bobs, glitz and flowers.
Anything else we should know? I just had a lovely fall photo shoot with my new bridal collection! Coming soon! Also, my latest obsession is using Instagram (My husband Nathan helpedme take all these photos with my new iPhone- yay technology!)
Check out some sneak peeks from the new collection below!

Studio tour: Lael Cakes
Name: Emily Lael Aumiller
Location: Brooklyn, NY
Company: Lael Cakes
What do you do? I create custom vegan and gluten-free cakes!
What is your aesthetic? Lael Cakes style is very sophisticated while being inventive at the same time. Seeking poise through nature and antique-finds the work conveying elegance.
How does your studio style convey your professional aesthetic? I spend long hours in my studio, so it was really important that it not only had function but had a level of comfort to it. My knick-knacks and antiques fill the shelves. Plants always find a way of surrounding me, giving a sense of warmth. Origination is key!
Favorite part of your studio? I am in love with my wallpaper. I also really adore my chalkboard. It comes in handy for random ideas and sketches or to pin up all of my inspirational pieces.
Where do you go for inspiration? Flea markets are my go to spots for inspiration! I love vintage cake stands and serving utensils. Not to mention the abundance of colors and textures one will find. I also love to spend long afternoons at The Botanical Gardens. I get lost in all of the luscious plant life. If I am looking to be inspired for a particular motif I really enjoy flipping through selections of patterns at paper stores. A camera is key for any of these locations!
What tool do you use in your business that you can't live without? My rolling pin and x-acto knife!
Is there anything you'd upgrade to? A larger studio! I've always dreamed of having a storefront one day.
Anything else we should know? Coffee and a radio are critical for a successful day in the studio!

Studio tour: Unusually Fine
Name: Margaret Singer & Max Freeman
Location: Brooklyn, NY
Company: Unusually Fine
What do you do? Make beautiful pictures.
What is your aesthetic? Modern sensibility and old-school quality.
How does your studio style convey your professional aesthetic? As artists, we aim to see and to express what is unusual and fine in every person we work with. Our studio is a delicious mixture of the elegant and the oddball.
Favorite part of your studio? We have to say it's Heather, our golden shark. Otherwise she'll eat us.
Where do you go for inspiration? Old Hollywood and new sh*t.
What tool do you use in your business that you can't live without? Diet Coke.
Is there anything you'd upgrade to? A yacht, if Margaret were not aquaphobic.
Anything else we should know? Please drop on by the Shark Tank and say hello. It's a place where danger is courted, coffee is brewed, and women become outlaws.

We read biographies in order to find out about extraordinary lives in extraordinary times, and they all follow the same formula at their heart: birth, life, and then death. What is smart about Kevin Birmingham's marvelous new work The Most Dangerous Book: The Battle for James Joyce's Ulysses is that it is not a straightforward biography of a person. Rather, it tells the tale of one landmark book — Ulysses — its birth and still-vital life and what it meant for modernism, publishing, copyright law, and obscenity trials. … Read More

How to Celebrate Bloomsday Without Totally Embarrassing Yourself
The celebration of holidays like St. Patrick's Day and Cinco de Mayo has become downright awful in America, thanks mostly to their embrace by drunken masses that have little to no cultural affiliation with the countries where the holidays originated. Bloomsday, which honors James Joyce's Ulysses, is something of the literary version of those days, but with fewer frat boys throwing up in the streets. It is a fun day on the calendar for Joyce lovers, and even those who couldn't finish or didn't understand Ulysses, to celebrate — and it's just about as official as literary holidays get. … Read More

The New Classics: 21 Writers Tell Us Which Books They'd Add to the Canon
What makes a book a classic? We've been revisiting the question recently thanks to a piece by Laura Miller at Salon,which explored what makes a book worthy of inclusion in the canon. Should David Foster Wallace be counted among the greats? Does Slaughterhouse-Five stand alongside Ulysses and the novels of Charles Dickens? Do these questions even matter? We asked a handful of critics, writers, and publishing industry people for their take on which new and underrated books should be considered… Read More
Which Books Should We Stop Calling Classics?
Recently, at Salon, Laura Miller wondered what makes a book a classic, and who gets to say which books should be included in the conversation: do booksellers or online book communities like Goodreads get to make the call? Do critics? Should we consider David Foster Wallace's work among these classics, even though it's so recent? Does a canon even exist or matter? … Read More

25 Big Novels That Are Worth Your Time
What we love about big novels is that you have to get really comfortable with them. A big page count usually equals a big chunk of time, meaning you need to be a serious reader without a fear of commitment, but with books like Eleanor Catton's The Luminaries, Donna Tartt's The Goldfinch, and Sergio de la Pava's A Naked Singularity receiving heaps of praise and major literary awards in 2013, there is a very great chance that this year will probably see its share of great novels that tip the scales at over 500 pages. With that, we offer you this list of epic page turners that you may have missed, skipped, or just couldn't finish the first time, because we believe that bigger can certainly be better, and these books are proof of… Read More
10 Literary Portraits of a Young Artist
Today marks the 97th anniversary of the publication of James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man — a novel that has come to epitomize the journey of the angsty artist on the threshold of becoming. If you never grow tired of reading about isolated figures turning their backs on family dysfunction, religious oppression, and social burdens in the wake of individual consciousness, head past the break. Here are ten other books that explore the interiority of creative passion, unbridled youth, and artistic evolution. … Read More

May 24, 2005
Americus- "I believe in God and the right to worship according to my own faith and religion," recites the kids of Boys and Girls Club of Sumter County.
The children are taking a stand in their new after school home. "It's a miracle. It's a miracle. This whole thing is absolutely a miracle," says Martha Williams of New Horizons Habitat for Humanity. It's a miracle that didn't happen overnight.
Back in 2003, the kids in the community of Easter Morning were cramped for space. "We started praying about what we could do to expand the facility," says Williams. Prayers from New Horizons Habitat for Humanity, Boys and Girls Club and local homeowners were turned into belief.
A year and a half and $750,000 in donations later, a brand new Boys and Girls Club facility has finally been completed. "It'll just be a place where kids can come after school and hopefully it'll be a positive influence on them," says Boys and Girls Club Co-Founder Bill Harris.
Kids will now play in a new clubroom and a new air conditioned gymnasium, all built up with the help of work groups and volunteers. "That feels real good," says Harris.
The hundreds of boys and girls of Sumter County are seeing that Habitat for Humanity is building more than homes. "The emphasis is on character development and helping them to do smart things to be successful adults," says Williams.
"I believe in my Boys and Girls Club, which stands for these things," recites the children. It's a stand that began with a vision.
The adults in the Easter Morning community will also benefit from the new building. It will serve as a meeting center for anything from bible studies to receptions.

Children at Walnut Square Elementary School got to take home a piece of their school this year — literally.
The slate tile roof that protected generations of children in the building from the elements was being replaced this summer, and when a parent volunteer saw what was happening, he had an idea.
"We saved 150 pieces of slate because workers were hauling them away," said first-grade teacher Judy Reilly. "Our art teacher, Gayle Teichman, washed all of the slates and prepared them for children to paint as Christmas presents for their parents."
It was the kind of one-time offer the nearly 150 students in kindergarten through grade two couldn't refuse. All they had to do was a little painting with a brush and they had the perfect gift to give.
"My mom told me they came from the roof," second-grader Braedon Smith said. "I painted a snowy owl on mine.''
Braedon was talking about a rectangular piece of slate that was part of his school's roof until this summer, when the 1898 building got a new roof. Reilly said parent volunteer Larry Trevette watched the tiles being removed and suggested the school salvage some of them for use in a classroom art project. Trevette approached Reilly with his idea and, after obtaining permission from School Superintendent James Scully, he gathered up 150 tiles with help from school custodian David Sargent.
As the holiday season approached, Teichman surprised children in her art classes with the tiles. She gave them several choices of images to paint on one side of the gray slate pieces, including snowy owls, snowmen and penguins.
"She told us to be careful not to drop it,'' Braedon said. "t was very fragile and it could break.''
Children used an acrylic paint to create their winter scenes and then added their names and the year on the back as a lasting memento of their time at the school.

Does a Bias in FOMC Policy Directives Help Predict Intermeeting Policy Changes?
AbstractSince 1984 the FOMC has issued directives indicating a bias toward easing or tightening. This paper investigates the information content of these asymmetric directives for the likelihood of inter-meeting changes in policy during the Greenspan chairmanship. If policy is measured by the change in the average daily federal funds rate after a directive is issued, the results indicate that a bias predicts a significant change in the average funds rate. If policy is measured qualitatively by whether the target for the federal funds rate changed, a bias significantly affects the probability that the target will be changed.

A lawsuit has not yet been filed, but Dixon Platt is dropping his grievance against the City of Lubbock.
Platt was fired as City Council Chief of Staff in May after an internal investigation accused him of racist and sexist comments to and about city staffers and elected officials.
Last week, NewsChannel 11 sat in on a two day hearing which was supposed to resume on August 16th. But Friday's developments mean they will not continue.
On Friday afternoon, Platt's attorney sent a letter to the city by fax saying the hearings were flawed. In addition, Platt himself has even said, "No offense to witches, but this has been a witch hunt from the beginning."
Platt's attorney Frank Hill sent the city attorney Fernando Bustos a fax informing the city that Platt was dropping his grievance.
Hill tells NewsChannel 11, "It just will not meet a minimum standard of constitutionally due process."
That letter reads, Mr. Dixon Platt, has decided that the hearing, which began a few days ago before you, is fatally flawed. It goes on to state they asked Bustos to recuse himself, but he declined.
"We think as a matter of law, the city government can't put one of its own lawyers up to be the judge for a case like this. It doesn't work," Hill said.
The city sent out a release Friday but did not comment on that specific claim. However, City Manager Lee Ann Dumbauld said, "We stand by the findings from our investigation and the subsequent action that was taken. Dixon admitted in his testimony that all of the findings in the investigation were true."
As we first told you last week, Platt claimed that he was never approached about "inappropriate remarks" until they were alleged. Those alleged remarks were part of last week's two days hearings, which the fax states showed "That his (Platt's) employment has been sacrificed on the altar of political vindictiveness."
However while Platt felt the hearings were flawed, Hill says testimony was going their way.
"We thought the testimony was solidly in favor of Dixon after the first two days. And he reviewed his options about where to go from here, and I'm fairly certain there will be other proceedings," Hill said.
In the city's release, Dumbauld also says, "I believe the citizens were all well served by this matter." Again, Platt may consider a federal lawsuit against the city.

With the 25th overall pick, the Toronto Maple Leafs select Stuart Percy, a defenseman from the Mississauga St. Michaels of the Ontario Hockey League.
Percy led all defensemen in the 2011 Memorial Cuo with four assists and was named to the Memorial Cup all-star team. Percy was ranked 53rd by NHL Central Scouting and was pegged by many experts as a second round pick so the Maple Leafs make a slight reach to grab Percy.
Percy becomes the 2nd Maple Leafs players to be selected in the first round of the NHL Draft.

On tap in a snifter at Smoke & Barrel on 4/27/13
Deep amber brown with honey cloudiness. Just under one finger of soapy foam. Thin retention and drippy lace. Pretty good amount of lace overall.
Dank Simcoe and Columbus aromas: tropicalia peach, pineapple, etc. The Amarillo is a nice touch. There is a sweetish bread backing with a hint of cookie. The flavor is full of hop oils and tropical candy sweetness. Dry malt notes of sugar cookie and bread. Full, slick body with appropriate carbonation. The aroma is really good upfront but the hop flavor decays quickly as the beer shifts to malt, booze and bitterness.
The three C hops, Simcoe and Amarillo make for a deep pit of an aroma but the taste falls kind of flat. Decent enough; there are a lot worse out there.

Appearance: Arrives with an amber color and an impressive head that does a pretty good job in the lacing department
Smell: Caramel and piney hops
Taste: The caramel lays down the groundwork and the piney hops march right in, assaulting the tastebuds with a bitterness that verges on aspirin-flavored; while the bitterness lingers into the finish, there is quite a bit of caramel flavor in the aftertaste, as well
Mouthfeel:L Medium to full body; moderate to high carbonation
Overall: Not my favorite DIPA, as I like my beers to be more attenuated

A-Pours amber. ACBF sample cup doesn't allow me to truly comment on much else.
S-Aroma is mostly dense pine and grapefruit. Seems like Bitter Markie will be an apt name. Hop forward but the aroma doesn't lend much intricacy.
T-A strong dose of the classic grapefruit/pine duo. Caramel maltiness with some sweet bread. Its tasty but its a dime a dozen.
M-Drinks well. Bitter but not relentless in its bitterness.
O/D-No real qualms here. I have had perhaps hundreds of IPAs like this one though. Its a pretty standard IPA and I will not knock it for that. I'd like to see a bit more secondary flavors I guess.

Another above average if not great DIPA from Franklin's I love these beers.
Beer is orange / dark amber with a haze and a thin tan head of small bubbles, some lacing, moderate carbonation.
Aroma is like getting hit in the face with a grapefruit.
Beer is medium in body and chewy with some great bitterness on the back end and nice malt backbone without being sweet. The beer is hoppy, nice mixture of floral and spice with fruit and a mild pine. The finish is nice for a big IPA, bitter but not too dry. Maybe I'm a little IPA deprvied but this was exactly what I wanted and I bought a growler of it immediately and look forward to drinking it at home later.

I have linked to an article from the National Football Post which analyzed the draft histories of all NFL teams from 1993 to 2006. This article measured the success of each teams draft by whether the player drafted became a five year starter or not. He did not necessarily have to start all five years with the team that drafted him as this measures the ability of the team to find, draft, and develop talent.
To almost no one's surprise the Lions finished dead last with seventeen five year starters drafted over the nineteen years. Only the Chiefs and Panthers were in our area code.
The Lions were pretty bad across the board, but especially so with the 14-40 picks and 87-149 picks. Overall, though, they produced fewer than the expected number of five-year starters in five of the seven Value Groups.
On the flip side, the Packers and Steelers were the top two, with each drafting thirty-five starters. I don't think either of those teams being there was much of a surprise either.
The average number of five year starters drafted was twenty-six.
Here is the LINK: http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Studying-the-draft-record-of-NFL-Teams.html?sct=hp_t2_a15
I hope this trend is turning around under Mayhew. Only time will tell. I think it is, but then I am a bloody optimist.
Oh, and if anyone wonders why I did not put this up as a FanShot does not visit this site very often.
NEW:I posted the following in a comment and thought it should be added into this Post.
By the criteria the study used, number of five year NFL starters from the draft, the Lions finished dead last in the time period 1993 to 2006. Seventeen [17] 5yr starters versus a league average of twenty-six [26] and a league best [Packers and Steelers] of thirty-five [35].
I agree with DLions. It was not the position/type of player drafted, it was the quality of the players drafted that the Lions completely failed at. The Lions failed at O Linemen [Stockar McDougle, Aaron Gibson, Juan Roque], LBs [Teddy Lehman, Boss Bailey, Barret Green, Matt Russell, Reggie Brown, Antonio London], D Linemen [Kalimba Edwards, Shane Bonham], DBs [Van Malone, Ryan Stewart, Kevin Abrams, Terry Fair, Stanley Wilson, Daniel Bullocks], not to mention the skill positions of WR [Rogers, Mike Williams, Germane Crowell], RB [Artose Pinner, Kevin Jones, Brian Calhoun, Reuben Droughns], and QB [Orlovsky, Batch, McMahon].
All of the guys I listed except for four [Orlovsky, McMahon, Pinner, and Russell] were picked in the third round or earlier. The later guys are even worse.
Guys not on this list that are considered successes by the standards of the study are Harrington, Ernie Sims, and Chris Claiborne.
That is one big, ugly batch of fail.

Well, despite the incredibly lame argument that broke out over Williams run stopping skills in the space last week, we actually wound up with 2 more guesses than we had the last 2 weeks. I'm impressed, especially considering how many stats you had to fill out. Anyway, the numbers:
Average; 51.04 tackles, 12.84 sacks, 14.42 INT/FF/ASST/PD
Highs: 62 tackles (Mikus + kaizer), 22.5 sacks (kaizer), 25 INT/FF/ASST/PD (BabyBeezy)
Lows: 38 tackles (nolander), 6.5 sacks (BabyBeezy), 4 INT/FF/ASST/PD (WhimpyJimmy, although he didn't have an assists prediction--next lowest was 11, which had a four way tie)
Antonio Smith was the runaway winner of the tiebreaker with 16 picks, I started an Okoye insurgency with 6, Earl Mitchell picked up 2, and Connor Barwin and Aaron Schobel both got 1.
Next week we'll go find another Texan with a big contract extension this off-season, and a tiebreaker question will focus on how many tackles a certain other linebacker will get.

Erin Chase ... likened her pat down to a sexual assault.
A prominent "mommy blogger" has described in humiliating detail how she was violated by a US airport security official who touched her genitals while executing the controversial new "enhanced pat-down" procedure.
Her account of the incident, which she retold in excruciating detail in a blog post, has become another cause celebre in what many Americans see as a mounting catalogue of violations of their civil liberties.
She did not tell me that she was going to touch my buttocks, or reach forward to my vagina area
What has been your experience of pat-down searches in the United States? Message 0424 SMS SMH (+61 424 767 764) or email us or direct message us on Twitter @smh_news with information or images.
Erin Chase, a blogger and author who has become a minor celebrity though her book on frugal recipes, The $5 Dinner Mom Cookbook, was screened at Dayton International Airport, Ohio, last Friday.
She was forced to leave her child in the pram and subject herself to a hands-on screening by a female officer from the Transportation Security Administration, the US federal organisation that is responsible for airport security.
"She felt along my waistline, moved behind me, then proceeded to feel both of my buttocks. She reached from behind in the middle of my buttocks towards my vagina area.
"She did not tell me that she was going to touch my buttocks, or reach forward to my vagina area.
"She then moved in front of me and touched the top and underneath portions of both of my breasts.
"She did not tell me that she was going to touch my breasts.
"She then felt around my waist. She then moved to the bottoms of my legs.
"She then felt my inner thighs and my vagina area, touching both of my labia.
"She did not tell me that she was going to touch my vagina area or my labia."
Chase said she was left stunned after the examination, which she likened to being sexually assaulted.
"I stood there holding my baby in shock. I did not move for almost a minute," she wrote.
"I stood there, an American citizen, a mom travelling with a baby with special needs formula, sexually assaulted by a government official. I began shaking and felt completely violated, abused and assaulted by the TSA agent. I shook for several hours, and woke up the next day shaking."
The new measures are part of a number of changes to airport security procedures that were rushed in after a foiled plot by Nigerian man Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab who tried to detonate explosives hidden in his underwear aboard a US flight from Amsterdam to Detroit.
Chase said she was motivated to tell her story because she did not want to remain a silent victim of excesses of government authority. She said she had spoken to TSA management at the airport and to Dayton police.
"I intend to request the TSA to arrange for counselling services to be provided to me, so I can deal with the aftermath of the sexual assault that took place," she wrote.
Her story follows the case of John Tyner, a software engineer who posted audio and video recordings of his run-in with the TSA at San Diego airport.
Tyner refused a full-body scan, a procedure that reveals an image of what's under a passenger's clothes. He also wouldn't allow a TSA screener to conduct a groin check.
A public backlash against the new security measures includes a call to boycott body scans next Wednesday, one of the busiest travel days, the day before Thanksgiving.

There's a rumor going around that Kim Kardashian sent the Duchess of Cambridge a baby gift, since the two are both due in July and that made Kim "incredibly excited." (First of all, Kim, you shouldn't be incredibly excited — this means that your child, if it's lucky, will be the third-most talked about delivery in July, after Kate's baby and Kate's placenta.)
Kim seems to think this will give her and the Duchess something to bond over, kind of like how she went around her wedding chanting, "This is our version of the Royal Wedding!" (Please. It was in a tent.)
But anyway, I guess if you see Kate in a leopard print "maternity" jumpsuit stretched too tight over her backside, you'll know where she got it.
In happier news, David Beckham has completed his contract with America, is done with his soccer career, and is possibly moving his family back overseas where they belong. So Harper and HRH The Baby of Cambridge can just be the best of friends and I can be beautiful and famous all on my own. I don't need them.
They better do it fast before they have to buy two plane tickets for Harper's thighs.

HW Loop off steam boiler.weil-Mclain peg 40 steamjust installed a weil-McLain peg 40 steam boiler.
I ran a hot water loop, and im having a problem with circulation thru the boiler.
I pulled the supply off the return right off the boiler and dumping it back in where the boiler drain tapping is. everything is below the water line ( pump, flow control valves ). With this boiler should I be using the return tappings on each side of the boiler to get proper circulation ?

What sizeare your tie in points and what size pipe to and from the WH? What do you mean by flow problem? Not making hot water? What size pump? Any chance of pics? Any check valves on the loop?
TimWorking on steam and hot-water systems isn't rocket science....it's actually much harder.

Hot water loop off a steam boilerConnections are 3/4 inch. So is all the baseboard and flow control valves.
Im using a bronze taco pump. There is about 20 feet of baseboard.
I had this system running fine on the old boiler.
Now that i installed the new Weil-McLain PEG 40 Steam Boiler im not geting circulation thru the loop.
So I was thinking, maybe i should be supplying and returning my loop from the return tappings in the rear section of the boiler to get circulation.
Because right now i have my supply pulling out of the return tapping and returning to the tapping for the boiler drain, which is in the middle section.
I don't know if thats the answer until i repipe it.

Steve Whitbeck November 21, 2012 @ 10:05 PM

loopdoes your pump have enough head lift to raise the water above the highest point of your system.
This is not a closed loop system. The water in your loop may be flashing to steam at a low pressure point.
Is the pump pushing into the loop? It must be installed this way.
Use a pump with higher head it should solve your problem.
I have done a lot of these loops without any problems.

Winnipeg is coming back into the league in an arena that will seat only 15,015. Assuming they sellout (which they look like they will do or have done), how are they going to make it financially since the Hurricanes seem to be cash strapped and our attendance averages in excess of 15,015 fans per game?
It seems to me that the answer is one of the following:
1. Their owner is willing to accept annual losses.
2. Their ticket prices will be higher (much) than the Hurricanes.
3. They are planning on going very young and have a roster whose total salaries match closely to the league salary floor.
4. They are going to be profitable without making the playoffs.
5. They are going to get more outside revenue from some source/s.
Would someone give me someone give me some ideas why Winnipeg is not concerned and seems to think they are going to prosper with the attendance cap lower than our average attendance. Or in other words, why are the Canes so cash strapped the facts about Winnipeg?

Davante Gardner Makes The First Cut At WUG Camp

The training camp for the World University Games team started at 24 players, and Davante Gardner's been included in the first cut down to 16 players. FIBA requires a 12 man roster for the tournament, and based on what Buzz said in the tweet, it looks like that cut might be tomorrow.

Just A Few Of My Favorite Books!
I am obsessed with books. I am obsessed with learning. (I am also obsessed with yellow highlighters.) So, I wanted to share a FEW of my favorite books with you. I'd also love to hear from you....what are YOUR favorite books?
Just one of my bookcases......
My professional life is so diverse...I'm a massage therapist, holistic health counselor, yoga instructor, watsu therapist and raw foods instructor....so, I am always reading a variety of books to stay up to date and to be able to offer my clients and students new and inspiring information.
I'm also in LOVE with inspirational and self development books. The Human Spirit living fully self expressed, on fire and passionately alive really turns me on!
So, I'm sharing with you 5 of my favorites here. It was pretty hard to narrow it down!
For my favorite Raw Food Prep book, I have to say Mimi Kirk's, Live Raw is hands down my favorite. The recipes are divinely delish, the pictures are amazing, each page is just beautiful to look at. Although I'm slightly biased, as I was fortunate enough to actually assist Mimi in working on her dessert section (I actually constructed the peach dessert featured on the cover), the quality of every aspect of this book is outstanding in every way. Mimi herself is a jewel in this community as well!
I love to know the science behind nutrition. (Yes, I'm a little geeky with my glasses and yellow highlighter). And when it comes to the science of raw food nutrition, Brenda Davis and Vesanto Molina are the experts in the field. They have two books out that I love, one on raw food, Becoming Raw and one one vegan food (cooked) Becoming Vegan.
I highly recommend that if you are raw or considering a raw diet, that you check out Becoming Raw. It's important to understand how to create a balanced diet and ensure you are getting the proper nutrients into your body. For me, I follow the science over the Raw Food "Guru's" who are selling exotic "super foods" that claim to heal everything from foot fungus to dandruff.
So, check out the science behind raw food from registered dietitians. Brenda and Vesanto Molina also work with The Living Light Culinary Arts Institute, the leading raw foods school in Northern California.
Along the same lines of science, I adore the Dr Oz and Dr Michael Roizens, "You" book series. I believe that, especially in the times we are living in now, we need to educate ourselves to be able to be our own health care advocates. They bring an amazing sense of fun and humor to science and are easy to read and understand.
In the self enlightenment section I have a hard time picking my favorites. But, what I'm reading at the moment is an amazing book called Psycho-Pictography, by Vernon Howard. I love this book. It is a serious paradigm shifter. It cuts through the limitations we have created for ourselves due to our limited beliefs and thought patterns to create powerful new ways of being and showing up in our lives.
Here are a few of my favorite concepts in the book:
"Our growth into full personal power is basically a process of discard.... Discard what?
Unrealistic beliefs
Unworkable assumptions
Painful imaginations
False Illusions
Impulsive decisions
Hazy Judgments"
"Why is it so hard for me to change my attitudes? Because you identify with them, you think you ARE your attitudes. You think that if you abandon these attitudes you will be left empty, without support" When you drop these false attitudes you are able to find your true self with its genuine virtues....."
"Moving from one corner of a stalled elevator to the other does not carry you upwards, Make sure you are using genuine principles of progress, such as self honesty and sincere intention. Upward movement can be felt, there is no mistaking it."
Oh..I could go on and on... Definitely on my top 10 list of incredible books of self transformation!
Another favorite inspirational book that I often carry with me, is A Daily Dose of Inspiration, by Alan Cohen. This is a nice little book of short stories, quotes, affirmations and questions for the reader to ponder and reflect on. It is usually in my car or bag so that if I have a few minutes of down time I can read a story or to that gives my soul a pick me up, recharge and uplift. It is also a favorite on my gift list!
Also, check out yesterdays post on Brian Johnson and the Philosophers Notes http://www.welikeitraw.com/rawfood/2012/02/brian-johnson-and-the-philosophers-notes.html for a list of over 100 of the most amazing inspirational and transformative books out there!
So, what are YOU reading now? What are your all time favorites and why?? Share it!
In Love and Health,
Lori Clayton, LMT, CHHC

The first year of Barack Obama's presidency was largely defined by the quest for health care reform. While opponents railed against the alleged government takeover of insurance, those in favor of reform worried that each proposal did not go far enough. On March 23, 2010, H.R. 3590: the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, became the law of the land. For a look at the Act from a personal perspective, see "Understanding the Obama Health Care Plan: Beyond the Hype and Spin."
What About Mental Health Care?
What was largely lost in the raging debate, though, is the concept of mental health parity. A massive reform in mental health parity laws was attached to the 2008 financial bailout, and the new law guarantees parity as part of the "essential health benefits" that all plans must provide. But what exactly is mental health parity, and how does it affect your current care?
Mental Health Parity Explained
Simply speaking, mental health parity states that psychological conditions must be treated equivalently to physical illnesses. Traditionally, many, if not most, private insurance companies have radically limited mental health benefits. A common practice has been to limit the insured to three or six therapist visits per year. Other insurance companies have assigned separate deductibles to mental health treatment, reimbursed a smaller percentage of total treatment costs, or assigned higher co-pays for mental health care. Some insurers simply refused to cover mental illnesses at all.
Under true mental health parity laws, phobias and other psychological conditions must be treated exactly the same as broken arms or other physical ailments. Your out-of-pocket costs cannot be higher, separate deductibles will not apply, and your right to treatment cannot be limited.
Current Legislation
The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 was a major victory for Obama (who was a Senator at the time) and supporters everywhere of fair mental health coverage. Attached to the federal bailout bill, the Act passed with very little fanfare. Indeed, it was barely discussed, overshadowed by the massive economic stimulus to which it was attached.
The Act, which officially went into effect on January 1, 2010, requires group health plans that cover 50 or more employees and offer both medical and mental health benefits to ensure that the mental health and substance abuse benefits are no more restrictive than the medical and surgical benefits. That's kind of a mouthful, so let's break it down.
Group health plans that cover 50 or more employees -- Small employers, defined as those who employ at least two but no more than 50 employees are exempt.
Who offer both medical and mental health benefits -- There is no requirement under the Act for a group health plan to provide mental health or substance abuse benefits at all. If you are not receiving benefits, then the parity law does not apply.
No more restrictive than medical and surgical benefits -- If your health insurance plan offers mental health and substance abuse coverage, then it must be provided at an equivalent level to your medical and surgical benefits. Deductibles, co-pays, and all other out-of-pocket expenses must be equitable to what you pay for medical treatment. In addition, restrictions on number of visits, frequency of treatments, and all other services provided must be comparable.
There are also certain exemptions for which a particular health plan may qualify. If your insurer participates in the Act for six months, and then determines that the cost is too high, a cost exemption may be granted. Note that an exemption must be based on a report prepared by a certified actuary and approved by the appropriate state and federal authorities. Nonetheless, this is small comfort if it is your plan that is exempted from parity requirements.
Expansion of Mental Health Parity Under H.R. 3590
H.R. 3590, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, was signed into law on March 23, 2010. Under Section 1302 (b) of the Act, mental health coverage is considered an "essential health benefit." Insurance companies are required to provide coverage, and that coverage must be equal to coverage provided for any other medical condition. Mental health benefits, along with maternity benefits and other provisions that once required payment of additional expenses, are now a mandatory part of basic care. Additionally, certain psychotropic medications are required to be covered under insurance company formularies.
The new law does not take effect until 2014. In the meantime, the above-detailed Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 will apply. In addition, a new "high risk" pool will take effect at the end of June 2010, allowing you to purchase health insurance despite pre-existing physical or mental conditions.

10 Ways to Feel More Independent
More Tips
6. Enjoy the Money You're Saving on Cologne and Boxer Shorts. Kate, 22, from New York City, has only spent one Valentine's Day with a serious boyfriend, but she doesn't dread the coming of February 14. In fact, it's her favorite holiday. "I really look forward to it!" says Kate, who usually goes on a date or out with friends on the big night. "I also like to hop online to one of my favorite shopping Web sites and get myself something really nice. I figure if I were involved I would be spending the money on someone else -- why not use it for me?"
7. Celebrate Your Sense of Humor. Jeanne, 42, from Geneva, New York, says she finds making a joke of Valentine's Day helps her state of mind. "I wear black, as if I'm in mourning. One year I attached a glittery heart sticker to the cuff of my sweater and told everyone I was wearing my heart on my sleeve for the occasion," says Jeanne.
8. Appreciate the Love You Already Have. We tend to think of romantic love as the only kind of love, but real love comes in many forms, from many different people. Carolina, 39, of Delray Beach, Florida, cherishes the time she spends on Valentine's Day with her son, Luis. "He always writes a beautiful card and buys me a gift. I also have friends who send me little love gestures like flowers. When you have that, you don't get the blues," says Carolina.
9. Stop Expecting Your Mother's Life. After all, would you even want it? Woodward Thomas says that many of us get stuck in holding patterns because we believe our "real life" begins when we find a committed relationship. We don't purchase homes, start saving for retirement, or buy good china, because those are things that one does after marriage. This might have been true in your mom's day, but now you don't need a man to live like an adult. So get rid of that old futon and chipped garage-sale dishes. You've arrived, baby!
10. Blow the Big Day Off. If cooking yourself a gourmet meal or flying to Nepal sounds like way too much effort, go ahead and get yourself some take-out and sit back with the clicker. After all, for some people, making a big production of Valentine's Day simply sends the signal that it's an important day and worth the anticipation or dread. It might also help to remember that even for couples, Valentine's Day is rarely what it's cracked up to be. With overpriced restaurants, impossible-to-get reservations, and heightened expectations, it's no wonder the evening frequently ends in silence or tears. Enjoy the fact that you have a free pass to spend February 14 exactly as you please.

Mourning the One S
In light of Vlad's recent post, asking for a smaller sized Android phone, I had my hopes up for today's conference.
Let me explain.
Last year, HTC introduced us the One S. It was a slim and powerful device, with some crazy aluminum coating and a 4.3 inch screen.
It was almost what we wanted. But it had a fatal flaw: The screen.
When the One X gave us that amazing 720p display, that up until very recently was the benchmark in screen, with amazing color, density and viewing angles, it was tough to swallow the pentile in the One S.
As much as I wanted to love it, the screen is the most important part of the phone, it's your window to it, and I couldn't make do with that sub par screen, specially when compared to the big brother One X.
Time passed, the One S was forgotten, and HTC's DNA looked like it belonged to huge screens. But there was still one 4.3 hope: The 8X was a beautiful flagship device in a 720p 4.3 screen:
So, bringing us back to today, as all the leaks touted this 4.7 inch 1080p flagship phone, I was looking for something else. Something smaller.
If today's flagships phones are 1080p, then it is fairly reasonable to assume that 720p has slipped into midrange right? They had the screen, they had the shell, all they needed was to make it.
My hopes for a sequel to the One S being the smaller Android phone we yearn were high.
But the 19th came. And there was no One S. There was no One X. There was just the HTC One.
Oh well... So much for hoping.
I still have hope that in a low key event, maybe in the middle of MWC, out of the nowhere, HTC will give me the phone I want.
Maybe someone else will. Maybe the sequel to the Galaxy S3 Mini will be just that. A smaller version of the flagship device, and not a slap to our faces.
Until then, I'll wait. But damn, that HTC One really does look sexy.

But these approaches prompt the question: Has China left its golden age of reading forever behind?
Today's China is far different from the closed society in the 1980s, then convalescing from decades of devastating political movements and hungry for intellectual nourishment. It is difficult to imagine that the reading renaissance during that period, kindled by this hunger, would return today. Amid the grim outlook of China's book industry, however, a curious case has emerged: Last December, the Chinese version of the first part of James Joyce's 1939 novel Finnegans Wake was published after an English professor in a Shanghai university spent eight grueling years translating it. The book became an unexpected hit, with its first run of 8,000 copies sold out in a month.
Viewed 263 times
This article might better be entitled "Why Aren't Chinese Willing to Shell Out Top Dollar to buy 'Serious' Writing in Hard Copy Form?" Gao suggests that the nation as a whole just isn't reading as much as it used to, and I think that's a superficial conclusion.
Has she been to Book City on Fuzhou Rd. in Shanghai on a weekend? The stairways are so full of young people seated with a book in their laps that it's difficult to get up to the next floor. When I left Shenzhen earlier this year, every day on the subway I saw dozens of twenty-somethings around me avidly reading fiction or management literature online, even on low-end, Internet-connected smartphones with terrible screens. Next time you fly in China, pay attention to businesspeople in your airplane. A good percentage of them will, at one time or another during your flight, take out an oversized tome vaunting a successful entrepreneur, human resources strategies or how to apply ancient Chinese philosophy to the business world.
Gao also cites the drastic drop in independent bookstores as proof of her thesis. But this ignores two important realities: buying a book over the Internet that will be hand-delivered to you within 48 hours -- for less $ than you could get it at that bookstore -- is a powerful disincentive for visiting a brick-and-mortar outlet. And then there is the unfortunate fact that independent bookstores ain't "independent"; most stock the same politically correct texts that you'll find at a Xinhua Bookstore. They can't import the books that everyone wants to peruse -- the Chinese ones that have been banned, or even English ones that offer a refreshingly different worldview. If you want to read the former, you'll have to visit Hong Kong or download a bootleg copy from the Internet.
Bruce, August 24, 2013, 1:25a.m.
I think a major thing missing from this article is an acknowledgement of the strangeness of China's reading demographic. Received wisdom is that people in their late 40s and up read "classic serious literature", readers under 30 read internet trash and genre fiction, and readers in between don't read -- at most it's the biographies and business manuals that Bruce mentions.
I'm sure the realities are more complicated than that, but it's very hard to complete any sentence that starts "Chinese readers are XXX" without acknowledging the wildly varying reading habits of different demographics.
The rubbish reporting on these statistics has led to a lot of handwringing over a cultural decline that everyone knows about but is unsupported by the actual numbers. The reading rate for print books is up for the sixth year in a row. Digital reading is up too. As is periodical reading. What's pulled down the comprehensive numbers is the decline of print newspaper reading: this is even mentioned in the China Daily article cited as a source for the linked Atlantic piece, although the overall tone of the piece is still pessimistic.
The Beijing News even cited statistics to show that in 2011, when the per-capita figure for reading print books was 4.35 (compared to 4.39 in 2012), that figure rose to 5.77 when digital books were taken into account.
jdmartinsen, August 26, 2013, 5:25a.m.
One of the problems--one I see evidence of in articles about countries and cultures all over--is confusion about what "read" and "book" mean. Very often they seem to imply fiction, and within that literary fiction. When was the last time you saw any other genre represented in lists of books you must read before you die or books that changed my life? And yet so much reading of books takes place outside that category, I think we'd be better off if we were more clear and comprehensive about our terms.
And for those of us who privilege literary fiction, it cuts both ways: as I've mentioned here before, confusing all books with fiction accounts for the overestimation by about 300% of how many literary translations get published in English each year.
Lucas Klein, August 26, 2013, 8:15a.m.
". . . What I think, in fact, is going on here is a fundamentally fragile argument, and its soft spot is literacy rates, because the advances China has made in literacy are very recent and very dramatic. Gao compares the increase in recreational reading in the US and the UK over the course of the 19th and 20th centuries to the reading habits of Chinese citizens after "government education campaigns reduced the illiterate population from 230 million in 1985 to 50 million in 2011." That's only 13 years of 180 million people being newly able to make sense of printed text, and, possibly, to buy it . . ." comments Sal Robinson at Melville House. For the full piece, visit Don't cry for China's literary culture, too much
When the official and authentic things are the same in all government approved media, can you have any more any interest in reading? We Chinese enjoy reading online now of any topics, especially those which are rated as rumours or sensitive things.

It came out a few days ago that Anderson Silva informed the UFC of his decision to get elbow surgery, and that he would be out until early 2010. A new report from Kevin Iole casts doubt on this story. In his weekly mailbag, in response to a question about a potential Couture-Silva superfight, Iole dropped this bombshell:
I spoke to Ed Soares, Silva's manager, and contrary to published reports, Silva has not had surgery on his elbow and is not in any way incapable of fighting in November if he's offered a fight. Soares said he hasn't spoken to Silva about fighting Couture yet, and stressed that such a fight has never been discussed with the UFC. But he did say, "Anderson wants to fight the biggest and the best fighters out there and Randy Couture falls into that category. After Anderson saw the way he fought Rodrigo Nogueira, he said he became an even bigger Randy Couture fan."
I assume we'll get the surgery issue cleared up in a few days. Perhaps it was just a case of wrong information, or perhaps Anderson didn't want to fight overseas? I don't know the answer, and even the latter explanation doesn't really make sense. If he really is healthy, I suspect they are saving Anderson for the New Year's show, and can't afford to give away another main event in November.
The prospect of a Randy Couture fight is absolutely frightening and intriguing at the same time, and it may be the kind of big gun they're willing to pull out if Rampage and Rashad are delayed for longer than expected. Couture would be (at least) a +400 underdog, but then again, maybe that's the best way to sell a Randy fight. I heard him on Sherdog radio on Wednesday saying he wants to fight Anderson Silva.
Another interesting theory is they're holding Anderson out to fight on a rumored "unannounced" card that they supposedly intend to put up against Fedor Emelianenko's Strikeforce debut. Is it possible that BJ Penn moving to December 12th had nothing to do with the death of a network deal, and that Anderson will main event the extra rumored show? If Anderson really is healthy it really makes you wonder what is going on.

ARLINGTON, Texas - This miserable season without their suspended coach won't end in a playoff appearance for Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints.
So they helped damage Dallas' chances of making the post-season.
Playing near Sean Payton's home in a Dallas suburb, Brees threw for 446 yards and three touchdowns and led a drive to Garrett Hartley's winning 20-yard field goal in overtime for a 34-31 overtime victory Sunday.
But the Cowboys (8-7) regained control of their post-season hopes when the New York Giants lost at Baltimore later Sunday. Dallas will make the playoffs as the NFC East champion with a victory at Washington next weekend.
That game has been flexed to prime-time by the NFL.
A wild-card spot is no longer a possibility for the Cowboys.
The Saints, who started 0-4 after being stunned by the yearlong ban for Payton in the team's bounty scandal, lost their faint playoff hopes when Minnesota beat Houston, and had to hold off a two-touchdown rally in the final 3:35 from the Cowboys.
Tony Romo had 416 yards passing and four touchdowns, including a 19-yarder to Miles Austin with 15 seconds left in regulation to send the game to overtime.
"We're never going to let anyone tell us we're not playing for something," Brees said. "We knew there were a lot of things that had to happen. We wanted to worry about the things we could control. What would have been worse is if Minnesota had lost and we had lost."
After New Orleans (7-8) forced a punt on the first possession of overtime, Brees moved the Saints to the Cowboys 33. He completed a pass to Marques Colston, who took a couple of steps before Morris Claiborne stripped the ball, sending it rolling about 20 yards to the Dallas 2.
Jimmy Graham, who said he dislocated a finger on a 26-yard catch to start the drive, won a scrum with Dallas' Eric Frampton. The completion that started the bizarre play was held up on review, clearing the way for Hartley's kick.
"I looked at the replay and I knew there was a fumble," Claiborne said. "I was looking at it saying, 'Please, let the pass be incomplete.'"
The Cowboys started the day with their playoff fate in their hands, and ended it the same way thanks to the Ravens, who beat the Giants 33-14. A Dallas win over the Redskins would guarantee a tie atop the NFC East, and the Cowboys hold the tiebreaker edge.
"When you are in this situation, you have to go forth like you are playing for a playoff spot," Dallas defensive end Marcus Spears said. "Trying to determine what will happen, all of that will get in the way of us preparing for the Redskins."
The Cowboys pulled within a touchdown on a 16-yard pass from Romo to Dwayne Harris and got the ball back with 1:29 remaining. Romo led the Cowboys 64 yards in seven plays, capped by the tying toss to Austin, who caught the ball on his knees in the end zone. It was Dallas' third overtime game in the past five at home.
"There was no panic," Brees said. "It was almost like we knew the game would come down to something like this. We just wanted that opportunity and the defence gave it to us."
Romo also had a pair of 58-yard scoring passes to Dez Bryant, who had a career-high 224 yards receiving. Romo was 26 of 43 and broke his own franchise record for passing yards in a season. He has 4,685.
The Saints, coming off a 41-0 blowout of Tampa Bay, took the lead in the third quarter after a 54-yard punt pinned Dallas at its 3. On the first play, Curtis Lofton stripped DeMarco Murray and Lofton recovered at the 5. Brees found Pierre Thomas open at the goal line for a 24-17 lead.
Brees was 37 of 53 in the ninth 400-yard game of his career.
"I don't know how many more accolades I have to say about him," Saints interim coach Joe Vitt said. "You want me to put them on my W2 form or what?"
The Cowboys put the Saints at their 2 with a 63-yard punt on their next possession, but Brees responded with a touchdown drive keyed by a 60-yard completion to Colston, who had 153 yards receiving. Colston broke a tackle by Gerald Sensabaugh before Sterling Moore ran him down at the Dallas 3.
The Saints turned a 14-7 deficit late in the first half into a 17-14 halftime lead in the final 1:11.
Brees led a 90-yard scoring drive that included Vitt changing his mind and going on fourth-and-1 from the Dallas 23. A completion to Colston was overturned on replay, but Cowboys linebacker Anthony Spencer lined up offside to give the Saints a first down anyway. Brees threw a 6-yard scoring pass to Lance Moore three plays later.
NOTES: Dallas tight end Jason Witten had two catches in OT, breaking Tony Gonzalez's NFL season record of 102 catches for a tight end set in 2004. Witten has 103. ... Cowboys LB Ernie Sims left in the first half with dizziness a week after sustaining a concussion. ... Saints CB Jabari Greer, who had two interceptions last week, left the game with a concussion.

Who decided it would be a good idea for two schools in the district to have basically the same name? What are the secondary names going to be? Laurel A and Laurel B? Laurel Lower and Laurel Upper? Laurel Littler and Laurel Bigger? As an employee in the MPCSD, I really wish they'd considered the logistical nightmare it could be to have 2 schools with the same name.

All schools should be named Laurel. We should start collecting signatures for a ballot initiative to require voter approval for a school in the district to be named anything other that Laurel.

Gene Kerrigan: Time to separate politics and money
Many moons ago, my then boss Vincent Browne imposed a ban on corporate donations. (It's as easy as that, Enda -- just do it.) This came to mind last week, while Fine Gael was shrugging off its embarrassment over the Moriarty report revelations -- in particular, the sneaky games the party played to hide a donation of 50 grand. It happened a long time ago, Fine Gael says. Everything's different now. Today, it's all about openness and transparency.
