Daniel Vettori
Celebrate success
RCB recently had many reasons to celebrate as our players demonstrated their talent and were recognised for their potential around the world. We are proud to celebrate the success of Vijay Zol – one of our young up-and-coming batsmen. Vijay was recently named the captain of the India U-19 cricket team to play against Australia. He is currently down-under delivering good batting performances with 46 in the first match, followed by 128 off only 131 balls in the second and 64 in the third.
Credit where credit is due
Firstly, I would like to thank RCB fan Suresh Ananth for highlighting, in his comments on my last BLOG, that I did not acknowledge the sterling bowling performance delivered by Vinay Kumar in Pepsi IPL 6. I do read all BLOG comments and must offer my sincere apologies for overlooking Vinay. I certainly agree with Suresh - Vinay bowled beautifully for much of the tournament and realized 23 wickets. He was definitely part of our success on the field.

Whiskey Distillery
Hey guys,
I wonder how Whiskey Distillery looks like? I want to model a small one, like moonshining (hope I used the right word), illegally, hid in a forest. What makes that structure differrent of others? Any photo?
Many thanks,
Jure Sporn, Slovenia
Have you tried to google "moonshining". Here you can find facts and pictures, e.g.
- A blog about moonshing history at http://rideforlightning.blogspot.no/2010/08/moonshining-history-by-josh.html even with pictures for a nice scene in your model forrest.
- A Wikipedia article at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonshine
and so on.
Hope this is useful for you, the idea should be to hide the place good, use a smoke generator for some steam effect. Make sure not all your visitors would see this scene... that was the general idea behind this illegal business!
But I guess this would be difficult to combine with more rr traffic...
Have fun!
Moonshining vs Whisky Distillery
Moonshining was the distilling of spirits in an untaxed still. Usually not much of a structure around them. Just an open still hidden in an out of the way place, with a few lookouts for the "revenuers" (tax collectors). There were also licensed distilleries, that used much larger equipment and were housed in (usually) stone buildings for fire hazard reduction. These may have been rail served in later years.
This is not such a good idea
Thanks Olav for the reply. I forgot on the fact, that Moonshine Distillery should be hid on the layout as well, so I'm asking myself a question now, why to have such a detail on a layout that nobody can't see it. It is better to make a legal Distillery.
Jure, Slovenia
Jure, Slovenia
Good ides ... or not
It is legal to think by words....
I have a legal beer producer, an old Campbell kit to be buildt some day.
A more serious answer is that you could explain the traffic into the woods by having such a distillery. After all its just a question on what to include and what you should neglect in your own model world. Such a model would certainly set a date to your scene!
Not so Hidden
Here you go. Woodland Scene makes a moonshine kit. I've got one but never finished it.
The New York, Vermont & Northern Railway -- Route of the Black Diamonds
"Hidden" items
If I was modeling an illegal still (And I LOVE the idea, I will be!) I'd locate it in woods, but at the front of the layout, or in some other spot where the viewers can see it, but the little people on the layout can't. Perhaps a grove of trees that screens the still from the tracks and road would be a good place...
Rusty Rails has a moonshine
Rusty Rails has a moonshine kit for around $10.00.
Then Again
Then again if you want to be legal in the manufacturing of the spirit's you can alway's have a major distillery complex.
When in Doubt........PUNT
Modeling in HO,freelance of the PENNSY LINE.
Planing a distillery
I also plan a distillery on my layout.
A building from Kibri will be the main building.

Malcolm X (5/19/25-2/21/65): Eulogy by Ossie Davis
It is not in the memory of man that this beleaguered, unfortunate but nonetheless proud community has found a braver, more gallant young champion than this Afro-American who lies before us, unconquered still. I say the word again, as he would want me to: Afro-American. Afro-American Malcolm, who was a master, was most meticulous in his use of words. Nobody knew better than he the power words have over the minds of men. Malcolm had stopped being a "Negro" years ago. It had become too small, too puny, too weak a word for him. Malcolm was bigger than that. Malcolm had become an Afro-American and he wanted so desperately that we, that all his people, would become Afro-Americans, too.
They will say that he is of hate, a fanatic, a racist who can only bring evil to the cause for which you struggle! And we will answer and say to them: Did you ever talk to Brother Malcolm? Did you ever touch him, or have him smile at you? Did you ever really listen to him? Did he ever do a mean thing? Was he ever himself associated with violence or any public disturbance? For if you did, you would know him. And if you knew him, you would know why we must honor him:
Ossie Davis, who himself passed on in 2005, was a great actor, director, poet, playwright, writer and activist and a close friend of both Malcolm X – El Hajj Malik El-Shabazz – and Martin Luther King. He emceed the 1963 March on Washington, where Dr. King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech, and he delivered this unforgettable eulogy for Malcolm X. He re-read part of the eulogy at the end of Spike Lee's 1992 film, "Malcolm X."

Purna Yoga: A Comprehensive Approach to Teaching
Living Yoga (Yogic Philosophy Applied to Daily Life)
From the ages gone by, yoga has developed a profound philosophy that we should apply in day-to-day life. Patanjali explained this in the ashtanga, or eight-limbed path. This path includes the yamas and niyamas, precepts that are the foundations of day-to-day living in a harmonious society. To live yoga means understanding the importance of finding our dharma, or life purpose. It applies to the creation and distribution of wealth. It means becoming aware of the flows of energy between people, particularly in our relationships with our spouses, friends, children, and parents. "Living yoga" clarifies our relationship to material objects and to our own spirit.
Yoga and Sound (Chanting and Mantra)
Just as sound is a grosser vibration of light, the body is a grosser vibration of sound. Sound affects us profoundly. We must teach our students by example to use only words that inform, empower, and connect us with our light.
The next level is to chant sacred words, such as Om or the Gayatri Mantra. These sounds, when taught and practiced correctly, vibrate through the body and align the nervous system with the mantra. Certain mantras cool and soften the nervous system, while others awaken it. In general, awakening mantras such as the Gayatri should be done prior to a practice, and soothing mantras (such as the repeated Om) should be done after a practice. However, Om is neutral and can be done at any time of the day or night.
Transformative Spirituality (Meditation)
Teaching students to be still and to quiet the mind and emotions is the first step toward meditation. Meditation is the process by which we connect with the heart center (the psychic being) and receive guidance from within.
My wife Mirra teaches Transformative Spirituality, taking this process to another level. We learn how to move the mental energy down into the heart chakra and the emotional/pelvic energy up into the heart chakra. We learn to live as much as possible from the dictates of the heart chakra, our connection with our soul.
Purna Yoga strives to encompass the vastness of yoga as envisioned by Sri Aurobindo. In his Integral Yoga, he synthesized gnyana, bhakti, and karma yoga, developing a whole new system of yoga. As you expand your horizons learning Purna Yoga, may your teaching, your practice, and your life become more and more fulfilling.
Recognized as one of the world's top yoga teachers, Aadil Palkhivala began studying yoga at the age of seven with B.K.S. Iyengar and was introduced to Sri Aurobindo's yoga three years later. He received the Advanced Yoga Teacher's Certificate at the age of 22 and is the founder-director of internationally renowned Yoga Centers� in Bellevue, Washington. Aadil is also a federally certified Naturopath, a certified Ayurvedic Health Science Practitioner, a clinical hypnotherapist, a certified Shiatsu and Swedish bodywork therapist, a lawyer, and an internationally sponsored public speaker on the mind-body-energy connection.

Transportation Insight recently announced plans to relocate its corporate headquarters to the former Lyerly Full Fashioned Mill facility on Highway 127 in downtown Hickory. The offices are currently located near First Baptist Church also in downtown.
The company plans a $6 to $8 million dollar renovation that is expected to be completed by 2015. The new facility will be a corporate campus. In addition to offices, the facility will offer a gymnasium, athletic fields, workout facilities and a cafeteria.
The relocation is necessitated by Transportation Insight's rapid growth. The company started in 1999 and expects to be a $3 to $5 billion business by 2020.
Paul Thompson, founder and CEO, said part of the company's success can be found in its entrepreneurial culture.
"We've created more of an entrepreneurial platform allowing a large percentage of the people to participate in the business and grow with the business," he said.
The City of Hickory committed to an economic development agreement with Transportation Insight, which includes a job creation requirement. There are 151 employees currently working at the Hickory office, with an estimated 150 additional workers anticipated by 2020.
Thompson added, "We're placing a big bet that Hickory is going to continue the economic development and the path that it's been on for the last 20 years."

Rutherford to repair sidewalks damaged by Sandy
The Rutherford governing body has approved to hire the Rutherford-based Dimeola Masonry LLC to repair approximately 2000 sq. ft. of sidewalks and driveway aprons throughout the borough that were damaged during Superstorm Sandy.
A number of sidewalks were damaged when Sandy's high winds sent trees falling into homes and roadways. The borough solicited quotes from a variety of companies and Dimeola Masonry LLC came in as the lowest quote received at $11.75 per sq. ft. The governing body has secured their services for an amount not to exceed $25,000.
This particular project will not include the slate sidewalks found on certain Rutherford streets. According to Borough Administrator Corey Gallo, those sidewalks will be repaired by the borough DPW.

I have to admit, I'm a bit mystified by the Buffalo Bills' 2012 marketing campaign. For those who haven't seen, heard, or otherwise had the pleasure to experience the team's version of the hype for the upcoming season, the slogan is: "We don't measure sound in decibels, we measure it in touchdowns! Lead the charge!"
OK, I don't mean to give the advertising gurus on One Bills Drive a hard time here, but really? "Lead the charge," has been around for years, I want to believe, but the first part of the slogan, to me, is, well . . . idiotic. Yes, idiotic. The team went 6-10 last year. People who were at the last four home games will tell you the only thing they measure was bad or meaningless football and a loss. By the time only 45,000 in paid attendance saw the Bills hang 40 on Tim Tebow's Denver Broncos, the Bills' bean counters weren't measuring anything besides lost revenue.The thing that bothers me most about the slogan is that I think it's out of touch with the fan experience. Of course, the stadium explodes after an important score, but there's been far too few important scores in the stadium in the past decade, and I don't think it's woven as deeply into the fabric of the team as when the defense is on the field.
For my money, the sound inside the stadium is most intense when the team is on defense. Especially on third downs in close games, the place turns into Thunderdome. Historically, the team visibly draws energy from the home crowd, and I always think of Bruce Smith's arm flaps to exhort the crowd into anarchy. The combination of weather and a frenzied bowl of Bills' fans acting like their entire life depends on the next play defines the Bills' home field advantage.
Noise doesn't matter after touchdowns, but during the game it can change a game.
For years the Bills have desperately tried to sell a mediocre product to a fan base desperate to hope for better. Who remembers the J.P. Losman billboards, encouraging us to witness the emergence of the next star, only to see the billboard replaced within a year with Trent Edwards, carrying the same promise?
What's confounding to me is that this year, of all years, is the year to market the defense. With Marcell Dareus in a position to break out next to the established Kyle Williams, flanked by ends on both sides capable of 10+ sacks, the Bills have a defensive identity they haven't had since Takeo Spikes was the mike man. Kelvin Sheppard is promising, Nick Barnett is coming off a strong rebound year. And the defensive backfield is a mix between the headiness of George Wilson and the promising athletic ability of Stephon Gilmore, Aaron Williams, and Da'Norris Searcy.
Here's my suggestion for the 2012 Bills based on my zero years of experience in advertising but my thirty years of experience in being sold stuff, with a nod to the Ronnettes. "Third Down, Wall of Sound. Lead the Charge!"
Would love to hear some of your slogan suggestions . . .

Every generation needs its poets and here's the 23 musical scribes who define 2010.
Meanwhile, you can vote for the best lyricists ever here.
Words: Emily Mackay, Matt Wilkinson, Barry Nicolson, Mark Beaumont, Laura Snapes, Dan Martin, Sam Wolfson, Martin Robinson, Jaimie Hodgson
Now 40 years' old, Dorset's PJ Harvey is unlike any lyricist ever, regardless of gender
It seems like law that any successful female lyric writer must be likened to PJ Harvey. But how many would dare pen a song about infanticide, as PJ did with 'Down By The Water'? Critics have tried to label her a feminist, and with songs like 'Sheela-na-gig' you can see why. Named after disturbing medieval carvings of women, it perverts '60s girl group lyrics that "wash that man right out of my hair ".
But she's not really a feminist – Polly rarely judges, and often inhabits male as well as female bodies, a notable example being 2007's piano-heavy 'White Chalk'.
Any musician worth their salt – whatever gender – should strive for comparison to such an individual lyricist. LS
Key lyric: "It's hard to walk in the dress, it's not easy/I'm spilling over like a heavy loaded fruit taree"

Priest Willis (CB) Marcos de Niza High School
On Wedensday night, 5 star CB Priest Willis announced he would commit to the UCLA Bruins. This is a big pickup for the UCLA Bruins, especially for the secondary. We will not be beat deep anymore! Welcome to Westwood, Priest. UCLA's recruiting class now stands at 23 commits. Willis will join fellow DB and friend Tahaan Goodman in Westwood. To see his announcement, click here. Priest Willis chose the Bruins over LSU and Arizona State. it is believed that the commitment earlier this afternoon of fellow friend Tahaan Goodman influenced his decision to join the Bruins. With his baby sister at his side, Willis put on his UCLA hat and gloves, and promised many picks for the future. Willis will bring a big presence in the secondary and is expected to replace graduate Sheldon Price at CB. Here is my prediction for UCLA's secondary next season:
CB: Priest Willis
CB: Johnny Johnson, Jr.
CB: Marcus Rios
CB: Ishmael Adams
S: Dietrich Riley/Stan McKay/ Tahaan Goodman
I give all the credit to our fabulous coach, Jim Mora, Jr., for all of his effort to improve and fill all the holes in UCLA's roster. Wonderful job not only to Mora, but to all of UCLA's coaching staff: Noel Mazzone, Lou Spano, etc. UCLA broke through this recruiting season by acquiring many pieces to make them Pac-12 champs, even with the departure of Jonathan Franklin and others. I expect UCLA's recruiting class to go up to the Top 10 by tomorrow. I am sorry if this is too repetitive, but WELCOME TO WESTWOOD, PRIEST!!!


text: i have to say, i really took mark ellis' defense for granted. No doubt jemile weeks is an exciting player to watch, but 11 errors in 2 and a half months..... thats not helping. Ellis has had 10 total errors since 2009. I dont mean to compare their full impact on a game but seeing those numbers really makes me appreciate what a great job mark did and how i hope jemile can one day be as efficient a defensive player.. hey elly had 9 errors his rookie year and 14 his sophomore year.. and he turned out pretty good. i truly hope the team can turn around their poor defense... because it has been offensive to watch.

Geo floor bump!
@ July 6, 2011 4:58 PM in Geo floor bump!Visited a geo site today. Bore holes (4) were installed. Roughly 20' from nearest one to front of home. Basement is 30' wide. Towards the far side of the basement, the concrete floor heaved up, breaking the slab & creating a 2" offset. Center support pole supposedly rose up to lift the steel beam & cracked the first floor drywall. No one was inside the home to verify it happened during drilling. HO (they contracted directly with the driller) & driller are locked in a dispute & the geo installer ran away from the job.
Aside from the oddities created by the ongoing disputes, which do not involve my firm, have any of you seen this type of damage caused when drilling bore-holes?

@ May 14, 2011 1:02 PM in Is PVC an acceptable vent material for flue gases?You had to go there!?! That phrase still raises my BP(G). I too must confess I've found the PVC issues to be unwarranted from an anecdotal personal experience level. The worst case for us was a supply house telling us it was OK to vent what turned out to be an 80+ furnace with PVC. Seasonal service revealed yellowed & discolored PVC within the first few feet - badly abused PVC temp-wise. Lesson learned: don't let a supply house counter dude tell you what's correct!
However, not one single PVC install on a 90+ furnace, modcon boiler, power-vent, or DV water heater has shown any evidence of any looming danger & we're now past the 20-year mark. I've encountered a few foam-core PVC exhaust vent installations & recently replaced one because we were replacing the modcon installed by another firm. I was pretty surprised to find it appeared to be in perfect condition after so many year of service in a system not utilizing outdoor reset that ran at much higher temps than required (following analysis and adding outdoor reset).
The lone issues I've encountered were all a result of a faulty installation and exceeding the manufacturers' specifications.
food prep or dishwashing?
@ April 28, 2011 9:22 AM in A question for the plumbersIf food prep sinks, then that's the correct method with each bowl having a separate line to the floor sink with an air gap 2x the pipe diameter and a domed strainer inside the waste receiver.
However, if those are sinks designated for dishwashing (meaning they cannot, in theory, be used for food prep work because the bowls are considered to be contaminated), then the commentary edition of IPC indicates in several passages that not only is that wrong, it creates "a known health hazard".
Never a dull moment for codes interpretation at the local level!
One local twp allows fernco couplings above grade and no-hubs below grade only while a neighboring twp has the exact opposite rule. Another twp requires a 6" sanitary sewer line be run into any building designated as 'commercial'. Once did a strip mall with each store having just a 1/2-bath & 1.6-GPF water closets & we had to install 6" house traps sets for each one! The head scratcher - soon as you penetrate the building's foundation wall you can reduce to 4". Go figure.
lost one ywo years ago - revisited
@ April 15, 2011 5:53 PM in reluctant contractor, or scam artist?We lost a bid two years ago in a remote house where copper thieves had ripped out both floors (two zones) of baseboard & basement mains. Figured on running 160F to 180F since they had an oil-fired ON/OFF boiler. Did not get the work.
Two years later, a call to bid ANYTHING that would use less fuel! Imagine my chagrin to return and discover the 'cheater' had installed lots of dummy-baseboard where once they'd had 'active BB. Running the system at 210F allowed them to cut corners and use half the previous 'active' BB & disguise their cheating by placing empty BB shell between the pre-drilled holes for the previous copper runs now PEX. PEX looked like a spaghetti free-for-all-toss in the basement too.
The owners had not clue-one that anything was wrong - just that they were in need of a back-yard oil-well!
Sounds like (tugging my ear) they did this home too! Not sure what was agreed to by both parties here, so I'm not weighing in on either side. I do, however, agree that an accurate heat loss/gain calc is the first step and is a must-have in order to determine the ratio between the existing heat emitters and the individual room they're in for required water temps on a design day. Absent that calc, you might as well be playing pin-the-tail on the donkey.
200F water temps for any hydronic system is a mortal sin. I'd be looking for ways to get that down to at least 150F (lower would even be better).
You're at a cross-road & have an opportunity to get it right. Botch this and you'll be draining your wallet from this point off into eternity via annual fuel and electricity usage.
The Plumber Protects the Health of the Nation

struck me too
@ April 3, 2011 7:46 AM in True or April Fool?One of the things I learned during my research was that rubber components offer a very favorable site as food and nursery for Legionella. But, all things being equal, they don't appear to be looking beyond the faucets themselves. The bacteria did not swim upstream through the faucet outlets! Kind of like the old song about the knee bone being connected to the....... Those faucets were colonized from the Distribution Network that's connected to the Point of Source (water heaters) that's connected to the Bacterial Source (municipal water supply).
If they were to treat the water where it enters the building using either Chlorine Dioxide or Copper/Silver Ionization, raise the Point of Source temperature above 140F, elevate the 2nd-stage heat-pasteurization and circulate the DHW Distribution Network with minimum of 125F at the end of the return, and, only lower the water temperature at (within a few feet of) the Points of Use, well then - they'd have a germ-free system! Water delivered to a hands-free Point of Use faucet free from germs would find it difficult to be colonized and Copper/Silver Ionization is the only known treatment with a residual kill-rate in idle temporarily stagnant lines. It would seem logical that water treated in this manner passing through a Point of Use faucet would tend to maintain its sterility.
Dang near
@ April 2, 2011 3:29 PM in end of the week ?split my sides laughing, But that AF joke almost got me banned for life from here! Wish I'd saved those all-too-funny posts.
The iWorx geothermal revival job (7-stages of heat & 6-cooling) we're doing in western PA has a real live "Tickles the Cat" living in the huge cavernous basement. Ours was the first sighting in two years. They put out food & clean the box, but never see Tickles. The wife has a medical business & this cat was run over by a car. Her patients left the waiting room to attend to Tickles & Doc took it to a vet. No one expected it to live. Once home, it went straight to the basement to hide & has only been seen a few times since.
I asked about the cat because we were using the walk-out cellar doors. The owners were stunned we'd seen Tickles! "Haven't seen her for two years. We weren't sure she was still alive."
Could be she's living in the hydro-air ducts?
@ March 27, 2011 6:30 PM in Legionellae articleshow me the bodies - ahhh, that old chestnut
Some reading for those interested! It was a bit more than 10-years ago that I discovered the information (more like getting smacked upside my head!) while researching information about using water heaters instead of boilers for hosting a gig at Area51HVAC.com - a subject sure to incite strong feelings. I never in my wildest dreams suspected/expected to be stopped dead in my tracks by what was revealed. In fact, I was sure it wasn't "hard" evidence and set out to find credible evidence to the contrary - a search that has lasted for more than a decade without one single shred of credible evidence to support open-direct cross-connected potable/hydronic systems as being "safe" from bacterial amplification. The plain truth, it seems, is that they are the Field-of-Dreams you-build-it-they-will-come perfect-storm of amplifiers. But, what the hey-ho do I know, I'm just a guy who stumbled onto evidence that was there all the time.
Took a lot of flack in the beginning, but over the years those who have bothered to read & research on their own (as I encourage all to do) with an open mind unbiased by sales/profits have virtually all arrived at the same conclusion. Google any combination of things and you'll find tons of rock-solid data/evidence regarding warm potable water systems and bacterial amplification.
Think of a residential hot water system as being three distinct parts: Point of Source (water heater); Distribution System (network of piping); and Points of Use. The cheapest least expensive solution to Legionella bacterial amplification requires heat pasteurization by elevating the storage temp to 140F or above to hold down the number of bugs; ASSE listed scald-guard mix vlv to flat-line the outlet temp; constant circulatuion with min of 124F at the return (this can be done without compromising the ASSE temp setting). The distance from hot recirc to Points of Use should be short.
Nosocomial (hospital) vs. Community Acquired (home)
From Robert Bean's web site:
slight benefit with new pipes
@ March 26, 2011 5:04 PM in Legionellae articleAs soon as biofilms form, which is soon after copper lines are installed, there is no longer any benefit or bacterial kill-rate. The bugs live freely to replicate within the biofilms, which also protects them from chlorine, which does not penetrate biofilms well and is far too weak at 2- to 4-PPM anyway. Chlorine Dioxide, on the other hand, does penetrate biofilms and whack the bugs. As does copper/silver ionization, which offers a residual kill-rate. UV, by itself, doesn't work & needs ultrasonic bombardment upstream to break open the cysts of one-celled animals (trojan horses) within which legionella have set up a nursery that eventually bursts open spewing forth the offspring.
It was disappointing to see that the list of approved methods includes ones that either don't work (chlorine) at concentrations found in potable systems or are weak players where eradicating the bugs is concerned. But, it's a huge step in the right direction.
open systems anyone?
@ March 26, 2011 11:10 AM in Legionellae articleThe tide is shifting!
@ March 4, 2011 9:26 PM in Can't touch this - not even going to tryThey're friends with the general contractor who says the sub is top notch and that his heating systems work. Some friend. I gave them my information and the energy wasted $ amount. I've done my due diligence as a friend and advisor. Bear in mind, I was only asked to review the sketchy info & it was the sub who revealed the sub-par system info when I spoke with him late today.
Local supply house branch manager does a lot of hand-holding with the sub from what I discovered this afternoon. He does that frequently for a number of contractors after selling them high-efficiency products they cannot start-up and/or adjust & provides the combustion analyzer too while performing the analysis for free. Gee - thanks for selling me my rather expensive combustion testing equipment that I'm maintaining at my costs while performing this free service for contractors who don't bother obtaining training and the equipment. No problem mate, I can purchase at other more loyal suppliers.
Can't touch this - not even going to try
@ March 4, 2011 9:13 PM in Can't touch this - not even going to tryGeneral contractor is remodeling a kitchen and breakfast area for a friend who asked me to look over the heating issues his sub is proposing. So, I asked the friend some pertinent questions & he went to the builder who had his sub call me. They currently have a steam boiler & the rads in these two areas will be going away.
Absolutely clueless. Could not answer a single one of my questions except for the size of the water heater & heat emitters.
Has no clue as to how to measure their chimney either and I can tell you that if it's a standard 8" x 8" terra cotta flue, it is not capable of adding that third load to ensure safe venting of carbon monoxide.
Heat source? 40-gallon gas chimney-vented water heater.
It's efficiency? Doesn't know.
Manual-J heat loss. No.
Type of heat emitters? Baseboard and two toe-kick fan-assisted heaters under the kit cabinets. (FYI: two toe-kick fan-assisted heaters is totally out of whack for that postage-stamp-sized kitchen space.) How do he know how much to install???
Operating temperature of the system? Not sure, but thinks it will be 140 - 160F.
Projected annual operating costs? No clue.
Circulator & controls? Not sure, but probably a Taco 007 & relay. (This will be oversized and waste energy too.)
Run hours? No clue
Power usage? No clue
Life cycle costs? No clue
Have you measured the chimney? No
Will there be sustained flue gas condensation in the water heater during operation? No clue (I have yet to see one used in this manner that doesn't have this issue.)
Also said he considered using electric resistance heating!
Claims he's had training with Fujitsu mini-split inverter heat pumps, yet could not answer a few basic questions regarding their performance in cold weather.
Nope - can't touch this!
FYI: I did crunch the numbers. Compared to a well-designed high-efficiency system, the energy wasted comes to $1.53 per square foot per year! Multiply that by the square footage of the project, gather up the cash - and then burn it in the fireplace. Add 5% for each new year & repeat.
@ February 7, 2011 5:45 PM in The Biggest LoserI never really realized just how roomy those calcs were until we had three geo systems in & running before the electric resistance supplemental toasters were connected. Where calcs indicated the assistance was needed, the homes (under construction in one case at design temps with contractors in/out all day long) had no issues maintaining desired indoor temps.
Mark - Modcon with automatic ECM circs so both load-match to the home's conditions at that moment in time. Or inverter geo (what the hey-ho are they waiting for???) units with the same circs or ECM blowers allowed to roam.
We're rapidly approaching nirvana, but still woefully inaccurate on the load & flow sizing side. Soon there will be feed-back from our installed equipment that will provide accurate lods under actual operating conditions with fuel utilization tracking in real-time.
Could it be that soon equipment might be available in a one-size fits all (within reason) that will self-adjust & self-tune to the actual operating conditions while constantly maintaining peak efficiencies. I sense the already wild ride getting wilder and faster.
true today
@ February 6, 2011 10:52 AM in The Biggest LoserBut turn back the hands of time a few decades & there were lots of leakers and motor failures. The ECM study has certainly turned my head towards zone valves. No big surprise, really, given our extensive use of telestats in radiant systems for zoning straight off a common manifold and their steadfast reliability.
NRT-Rob, Should have added why - suspect you know already (sure of it, so I am - knowing you from years of posts here). The one thing that prevents us from seeing 100% run-time with standard outdoor-reset is wind and its adverse affect on heat loss due to 40% (or more) of a structure's loss being related to infil- exfil-tration. As a result, our programmed 'curve' needs to be high enough to provide comfort during those more adverse conditions.
spot on
@ February 5, 2011 3:49 PM in The Biggest LoserAt first I thought about 100% run-time, but knew that wasn't right for weather-responsive outdoor reset. Tracking my actual run-times for zone valves vs. circs and cross-checking that against historical degree-day data, I too arrived at 75% for the primary circs: 2,250 divided by .75 = 3,000 run-hours
The zones, on the other hand, did not see the same number of hours and eventually I was able to peg them (on ave) at 2,800 run-hours.
run hours
@ February 5, 2011 7:51 AM in The Biggest LoserSwapped an 87-watt induction motor fixed speed wet rotor circ with a ECM on a baseboard system (actually two for two with two zones). and the ECM settled in at 14-watts. Run hours should ave 2,250 in my heating zone (SE PA). They had bad experiences with zone valves, so that option was tossed.
If that's accurate for run hours, we're paying 12-cents per kWH, which renders a 10% ROI in the first year (increases with the increase in energy costs) with a $200.00 difference in costs between circs and simple payback on that difference in the 9th year if power costs rise by 5% per year. At the end of the 20th-year, each circ will provide a bit more than $600.00 cost avoidance.
Interesting job in that the customer did not choose the hi-eff boiler due to the end of the fed tax credit (also because they plan to move in two years). Even more so given the short 2- to 3-year simple payback on the increased cost for the hi-eff boiler vs. the chimney-vented model.
@ February 4, 2011 7:01 PM in The Biggest LoserCharles,
I have used the ECM circs very effectively to win bids for replacements and new work by showing the long-term energy-conservation. In several cases, it was the circs that caused the owners to sign our higher-priced (up front costs) contracts.
Present the options; provide the economics; ask for the contract.
The competition is not doing the due diligence and they are not providing the after-the-sale ongoing costs of operating their hi-head circs and equipment. An additional $200.00, or $2,000.00, becomes an easy pill to swallow once the justification education has been presented.
Or present yourself (not referring to you Charles) as just another commodity item based solely on up-front costs and get lost in the card-shuffle. I want everyone in this business who has a passion for what they do to have the tools rrequired to go forth and sell these things like hotcakes at a pancake jamboree. I am & If I am, so can anyone who wants to.

Welcome to the Upper School Weekly Digest! This newsletter includes news and calendar items from the Upper School.
Anne-Marie Slaughter '76, acclaimed teacher, commentator, and writer in the field of international relations, returned to campus Wednesday to speak to the Upper School students. After teaching law at Harvard and the University of Chicago for twelve years, Anne-Marie returned to the Woodrow Wilson School of Public Affairs at Princeton University, from which she graduated magna cum laude in 1980, accepting the position as Dean. She later became the Bert G. Kerstetter '66 University Professor of Politics and International Affairs. In 2009, she took on the role of Director of Policy Planning at the Department of State under Hillary Clinton. Anne-Marie returned to Princeton to teach in 2011 and serves on the Foreign Policy Advisory Board.
Anne-Marie can call the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton University, Oxford University, and Harvard Law School her alma maters, but she spoke today of what being an alumna of St. Anne's-Belfield School means to her. Giving a nod to the acronym "STAB," she spoke of four values she believes that her twelve years at the school instilled in her and have served her well during her career: Seriousness, Truth, Ambition, and Bravery. Anne-Marie noted many faculty members, including Mrs. Butterfield and Miss Malone, who taught her to challenge herself and inspired her in school and during her time since graduation.
The recipient of the Distinguished Alumni Award at her 35th Reunion last April, Anne-Marie was unable to attend the festivities and accepted the award at Wednesday's assembly. Alumni Council President, Fritz Berry '84 had the honor of presenting Anne-Marie with the award. A number of family members, including her parents and aunt, Mary Slaughter '52, were there to support her. View photos here.

You couldn't stop yourself from snickering at Germany's attempt at pouting as his bottom lip was jutted out pitifully.
The guilt-trips this man tried to pull on you was too hilarious for words, but in the end, you always forgave or apologized anyways.
"Well, to be completely honest Luddy, you were the one following me around in the middle of the night like some demented stalker-- so, I see no reason as to why that whole situation was to be blamed on me." A smirk played onto your features you felt over-come with success in winning the argu--
"My fault? Now, I know it may seem as if I was the one guilty of, er. . . weird-ness but I assure you, it wasn't my fault in the end. I was merely trying to assure that you made it home safely."
You deadpanned at his come-back as you were left with nothing to say. Him the innocent one? That son of a-- but, well you wouldn't go down like this.
"Ha! And they say Germans have horrible senses of humor! Well, my dear Ludwig, I think you've gone and proved them dead wrong with that statement."
Both of you were merely toying with one another, but somehow in between it all, it slowly morphed into a small, verbal warfare of which one of you had the best excuse.
Germany merely chuckled lightly as he stood from his chair at the end of the kitchen table. He looked down at you with one of his infamous piercing gazes as an equally deadly smirk found his lips.
"Fine, if you want to win this one that badly, be my guest. But, there is one more thing I should inform you about before you declare yourself victorious."
Silence over took the atmosphere as Germany waited for your cocky reply that didn't come. He was up to something and you knew it deep in your gut, but, just what he was up to exactly you didn't know. . .
When he discovered that you wouldn't be talking any time soon, the size of his smirk only increased. " I let you win."
And with that sentence as his finishing blow, he left you alone in the kitchen to dwell on his words in defeat.
A scoff emitted from you as you clenched your fists tightly.
If he thought that he won this so easily, he's horribly mistaken. . .
- - -
There were certain things and precautions you could take to ensure your
You had everything planned out from beginning to end, and you were positive that nothing would fail as long as you stuck to your game plan.
Staring at the list of plans and strategies in front of you, nothing was going to get in your way. Just to be even more sure that nothing-- and I repeat, NOTHING would go wrong, you were sure to put your plan to work on one of the rare days that Germany didn't have the Axis training like clock-work.
"Alright, let plan A commence!"
- - -
With on rough, final tug on the rope it finally sprung free of it's tight knot and loosened around the pole.
"Finally!" You cried out, panting slightly from the tug-of-war that involved you, yourself, and the rope. "Thank God, I thought I would never get that undone."
You wiped at the dripping sweat from your brow as you took a step back to observe your work. Looking down at Germany's backyard there were many different ropes and tattered paper trimmings everywhere. Among the many remains of trimmings and such laid a small, blue gift bow topped off with a shining white bow.
To say that this was the best idea you've ever had would be an understatement as a relieved sigh escaped you.
Germany isn't going to know what hit him after tonight. . .
- - -
"_______! I'm home!" Germany yelled, stepping through the doorway and sliding off his black boots underneath the coat rack. As he closed the front door, he began to grow slightly suspicious as only silence reached his ears. Usually you'd be bounding up to greet him by now, so why weren't you?
One blonde eyebrow raised as his ice-blue eyes scanned his surroundings for anything out of place. Something was very wrong and he just knew it, but he couldn't quiet figure out what it was. . .
One of Germany's famous tired sighs emitted from him as he noticed the back door was open.
She must be outside. . . she probably didn't greet me because she couldn't hear me.
Germany slowly trudged his way through his living room and slowly drew closer towards the back door, hoping he wouldn't come face to face with a horrific scene of some sort. To say he was a bit wary wasn't the case at the moment.
"________, are you-- oh. . . what the?" Germany looked over the backyard with a confused expression as his eyes were met with the sight of his backyard a complete mess!
He walked in between all of the scraps and ropes as he crouched down to pick up the small present. Before he opened it, he shook it gently and groaned as his confusion only grew.
"Why would she go to such lengths of wrapping a box and everything if she wasn't going to put anything inside of it?"
As he sighed again, he decided to take a peek inside of the box anyway. It wouldn't hurt, right?
When he removed the lid from the top of the box he found a small hand-written note inside.
Meet me in the kitchen, sucker.
- - -
"Hey! What's the idea of all this? I mean, sure, I can understand why you would want to distract me for a bit, but did you really have to trash my backyard in the process?"
Germany looked down at you with his arms crossed and a frown on his face. You could only look up at him with a coy smirk as you dabbed your finger on your cheek, scooping up the last trace of caramel pecan icing off. Before he said anything else, you raised your finger to his bottom lip, teasingly smearing the sweet icing across it.
"Shh, just close your eyes and I promise I'll make it all up based on what I have for you."
Trying his best to hide the smirk forming, he nodded as his tongue darted out to lick the icing clean off. Never in your life did you think anything could make food sexy, but that damn, uber-attractive German man before you sure as hell manage to pull it off with ease.
As a deep blush flushed over you from head to toe, you had to quickly shake your head in order to try and set aside those certain thoughts from distracting you. You quickly turned on your heel towards the fridge and opened it, taking the cool German chocolate cake you had finally perfected baking just under an hour ago.
Turning your body and the cake towards him, you smiled down at your work. "Alright, you can look now."
You looked up at him as his eyelids lifted, allowing him to see the cake in your hands.
"______, why did you make me this? It's not a special occasion or anything. . . and wait. . . mein Gott! You're breaking up with me, aren't you?"
A small chuckle rumbled in your throat at his last statement, but you tried to keep a serious face.
"I'm not breaking up with you, I just wanted to make you something to say, thank you."
"Thank you for what?" Germany asked, as he loosened his shoulders.
"Tell you what, after we finish this deliciously awesome cake, I'll tell you, deal?"
As Germany stared down at the cake in your hands, he couldn't help but to agree.
- - -
Both Germany and you finished your last slices of the cake with ease, each of you sighing in tasteful bliss.
"Alright, now that we're finished eating about half of the cake-- which I'll have to run off tomorrow -- tell me what you wanted to say thank you for."
You slowly stood up from the kitchen table and stretched your arms with a tired smile.
"Oh, I almost forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me, but what I really wanted to thank you for was for letting me win."
"Win what?" Germany questioned, quickly following up with a tired yawn.
Another smirk wove into your smile for the ump-tenth time today as you quickly turned your back towards him.
"For letting me win the argument."
Tonight, you truly did find out that the old saying was really truthful in every way.
The quickest way to a man's heart is his stomach.

Eau Claire (WQOW) - Wisconsin and the U.S. average are heading in different directions when it comes to unemployment.
In February, the states unemployment rate ticked went up 0.2 percent to 7.2 percent. At the same time, the national average dropped by 0.2 percent to 7.7 percent. That's the lowest rate in four years.
The drop follows a report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics that showed Wisconsin ranked 44th in private sector job creation in the quarter ending in September. The ranking put Wisconsin well behind other Midwestern states including Indiana, Michigan and Ohio. Despite the bad news, Governor Scott Walker says he's staying positive.
"The big difference is we lost 133,000 jobs under Jim Doyle's last term in office," says Gov. Scott Walker, (R) Wisconsin. "We gained jobs here in the State of Wisconsin. I just think you had in particular in 2012, a lot of uncertainty with where the state was going."
In February, Wisconsin added around 12,100 jobs, with all the jobs gained in the public sector. The overall jobs gain for Wisconsin in the last year is 32,200.

The University of Michigan men's soccer team will begin its eighth year of varsity play this fall. The young Wolverine squad ended last season with an overall record of 7-10-4. Michigan finished sixth in the Big Ten Conference on a 1-2-3 record. Season highlights included the play of freshman forward Perica Marosevic who led the team with five goals, 12 points, 66 shots, and 24 shots on goal. The Maize and Blue also set a new season record for most shots with 346 while allowing a season-low 24 goals. At the Big Ten Tournament, sixth-seed Michigan knocked off the No. 3 seed Wisconsin, 1-0, in the quarterfinals only to fall to second-seeded Ohio State in the semifinals.
Head Coach Steve Burns has been at the helm since the program's inception, having amassed a 67-59-13 record during his tenure including NCAA Championship bids in 2003 and 2004. Burns has produced 32 Academic All-Big Ten honorees, nine All-Big Ten selections, one ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American and one College Soccer News All-American. He has also sent five of his players to the professional ranks.
For the 2007 season, Michigan retains 14 letterwinners, including nine starters, while losing 11 letterwinners, including two starters. The Wolverines will bring in what is considered by College Soccer News to be the 37th-ranked recruiting class in the nation, consisting of seven new faces. The freshmen include goalkeeper Chris Blais, forwards Vinny Crumrine and Tex McCullough, defenders Adam Keller, Jeffrey Quijano and Alex Wood and midfielder Adam Shaw.
Junior co-captain Alex Morisset, who started 20 matches last year, scored one goal and was named to the Michigan Invitational All-Tournament team, will be the top midfielder. Senior co-captain Michael Parke highlighted his junior season by scoring his first collegiate goal, a game-winner against Northern Illinois. Junior Nader Jarun played in 12 games after transferring from Vanderbilt University. Junior Steve Hecker, who took the 2006 season off, should be ready to take his play to the next level in 2007. Sophomore Daniel Gray played in 17 games last season with one start. Shaw will get playing time after receiving All-State honorable mention as a high school senior playing in Lone Tree, Colo.

It started with doodling.
Which, by the way is beneficial to you when you're taking notes, in case, you thought you were doing something naughty!
I switched from doodling to painting (on walls) then came to Ball State and discovered journalism graphics.
Let's go back to Kindergarten for a second. Do you remember your first experience with a computer? One of the very first programs I got to play in was Microsoft Paint. When I saw the color wheel, I fell in love. I also loved playing in the 25 fonts that were available. The possibilities seemed utterly limitless!
Presentation is nearly everything- I think we know this in CICS. This is not a colorless, Times New Roman occupied vacuum, right? Therefor, I want to share some interface design sites I've been looking at. Some are merely conceptual, others are actually implemented and some might have tutorials! I get excited about these things. Hopefully you will enjoy the nuances and insights these sites examine.

Looking to make a cool logo for your group or a prototype of a website? (I'm a few weeks late, I realize this) Here are some cool, method-explained ideas!
2. 40 Detailed Examples of User Interface Design
Some of these designs are conceptual. The use of iOS-like nuances make these ideas really stunning if you've never actually considered the amount of detailed simplicity put into them.

Incidental Finding on Routine Ultrasound Imaging of the Pelvis
Incidental Finding on Routine Ultrasound Imaging of the Pelvis
History and Symptoms
This young adult female (22 years old) had no significant complaints and was referred for a routine ultrasound scan of the abdomen to rule out any pathology. She complained of minor thyroid issues, and an ultrasonography suggested presence of Hashimoto thyroiditis.
Past History
She had a past history of surgery during childhood for a mass in the abdomen. We have deliberately hidden the details of the surgery and histopathologic report for the diagnosis.
Family History
Her parents both had no major surgery or illness. There was no history of diabetes, hypertension, or renal, hepatic, or gastroenterologic complaints in either parent. The patient was the only child and was delivered at full term. Her birth weight was also normal. The child was normal at birth with no reason to suspect any abdominal pathology.
Clinical Examination
Examination revealed a normal liver, spleen, and pelvis. In fact, she had no tenderness anywhere in the abdomen or pelvis. Repeated visits to the surgeon or family physician did not suggest any abdominal pathology. The visits to the doctor were part of the follow-up for the surgery she had earlier. The endocrinologist examined her and decided that other than a case of early Hashimoto thyroiditis, she was perfectly normal. This was confirmed by both hormonal assay and thyroid sonography.
The patient had a history of normal and regular menses and a routine abdominal ultrasound study was advised due to her past history of an abdominal mass for which surgery was performed.
Imaging Studies
Transabdominal ultrasound imaging of the liver, spleen, and both kidneys revealed normal viscera. However, this is what we found on sonography of the pelvis:
The Uterus
This organ was clearly normal in size (measuring 7.5 x 2.6 x 3.4 cm). The endometrium measured 5 mm in thickness. The patient did not have a history of coitus. The ovaries clearly revealed abnormalities on both sides.
What's your diagnosis?
Both ovaries show small but well defined, echogenic masses within them. These masses are well defined in outline and measure about 2 to 2.5 cm each. The mass in the left ovary is slightly larger at about 2.5 cm.
What else do you see? The masses in both ovaries are hyperechoic with mild posterior attenuation of the ultrasound beam. This point is important as it may be the only differentiating feature of these masses from 2 other similar types of masses of the ovaries - the hemorrhagic cyst and the endometrioma. In both these latter masses, there is significant posterior acoustic enhancement of the beam as opposed to the posterior acoustic attenuation seen here.
Right Ovary
The right ovary is seen in transverse section (to the left) in this ultrasound image. The uterus is seen to the right of the image.
Ultrasound image of the uterus in sagittal plane
Both Ovaries
Transverse section ultrasound image showing echogenic masses in both ovaries.
Here are some more ultrasound images of the pelvis of this patient:
This image shows another view of the echogenic mass (arrow) in the right ovary. Note the lack of any posterior acoustic enhancement beyond the mass. Note also the nearby bowel loops producing similar appearances.
