Expanding Orthopedics Inc., announced today that the FLXfit™, its novel expandable and articulated TLIF cage with lordotic correction, has received CE Mark.
OR AKIVA, Israel, July 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Expanding Orthopedics Inc.

Mike Sherman of MB Venture Partners, long time spine industry veteran, investor and director at EOI stated "the $2B market for interbody fusion devices has experienced very limited innovation over the last few decades, considering cages only as spacers or bone graft chambers. New technologies that enable in-situ expansion are now driving amazing growth in this market segment, leading to active and aggressive M&A activity in the last 18 months". Mike added that "My past involvement in the development of minimally invasive spinal implants has confirmed to me that surgeons are looking for solutions that enable them to restore the anatomical balance in the lumbar spine instead of only stabilizing it. I'm very excited about EOI's FLXfit™, as it will enable surgeons to provide gentle correctionwith an intra-operative expanding device , while restoring the patient's anatomy with FLXfit's unique lordotic expansion".
Mr. Ofer Bokobza, stated that "the FLXfit™ represents a game-changer for minimally invasive treatment for lumbar degenerative disc disease while restoring sagittal balance. The articulated self-guidance feature enables easy and optimal access while providing large footprint coupled with controlled expansion for lordotic correction. He further explained that "we plan to initiate surgeries in Europe in the coming weeks with pre-defined centers followed by full release in selected territories. We feel a lot excitement from the medical community and distributors and believe that the FLXfit™ will provide a revenue boost in combination with our unique XPED™ Expandable Pedicle Screw System."

Thomas Sowell: The cynical politics of public budgets
The answer, of course, is that it would cut back on the medications for children. Why? Because that would be what was most likely to get the budget cuts restored. If they cut back on building statues of Benedict Arnold, people might ask why they were building statues of Benedict Arnold in the first place.
The example was deliberately extreme as an illustration. But, in the real world, the same general pattern can be seen in local, state and national government responses to budget cuts.
At the local level, the first response to budget cuts is often to cut the police department and the fire department. There may be all sorts of wasteful boondoggles that could have been cut instead, but that would not produce the public alarm that reducing police protection and fire protection can produce. And public alarm is what can get budget cuts restored.
The Obama administration is following the same pattern. The Department of Homeland Security, for example, released thousands of illegal aliens from prisons to save money - and create alarm.
The Federal Aviation Administration says it is planning to cut back on the number of air traffic controllers, which would, at a minimum, create delays for airline passengers, in addition to fears for safety that can create more public alarm.
Republicans in the House of Representatives have offered to pass legislation giving President Obama the authority to pick and choose what gets cut - anywhere in the trillions of dollars of federal spending - rather than being hemmed in by the arbitrary provisions of the sequester.
This would minimize the damage done by budget cuts concentrated in limited areas, such as the Defense Department. But it serves Obama's interest to maximize the damage and the public alarm, which he can direct against Republicans.
President Obama has said that he would veto legislation to let him choose what to cut. That should tell us everything we need to know about the utter cynicism of this glib man.
The sequester creates more visible damage and more public alarm than if the President were given the authority to trim a little here and a little there in the vast trillions of dollars spent by the government, in order to make a relatively small "cut" that still leaves total federal spending higher than last year.
Only in Washington is a reduction in the rate of growth of spending called a "cut." Moreover, costly boondoggles not covered by the sequester can continue and grow.
Obviously Obama wants public alarm, which he can use to help defeat the Republicans in the 2014 elections, so that Democrats can take back control of the House of Representatives.
When Obama was offered the authority to make the spending cuts wherever he chooses, anywhere in the government's multi-trillion dollar budget, it was the only power that this power-grabbing President has rejected.
Why? Because with this new power would go responsibility for the consequences of his choices. And responsibility for consequences is precisely what both the Obama administration and the Senate Democrats have been avoiding for years, by refusing to pass a federal budget, as required by the Constitution of the United States.
Democrats prefer to get the political benefits from handing out goodies, while Republicans can be blamed for not subsequently raising enough taxes to pay for the Democrats' spending spree.
If Obama succeeds in maneuvering the Republicans into positions that cause them to lose control of the House of Representatives in the 2014 elections, then as a President who never has to face the voters again, he would be in an ideal position to create a big spending liberals' heaven.
But it will be far from heaven for the economy, with Obama-appointed bureaucrats burying businesses in red tape and job-killing costs, while expanding the size and arbitrary powers of government. We could become the world's largest banana republic.

While not a new book, this year it was updated and early in 2012 the 8th edition of Sir Robert Bruce Lockhart's book was released. Originally written in 1951, Scotch: The Whisky of Scotland in Fact and Story is absolutely essential for anyone who is remotely interested in the fascinating story behind this Scotch whisky.

In this case it tracks the story of the cocktail, mixed drinks, and the men and women behind them throughout the years. This entire series is fun and a fast way to catch up on your bar trivia.

South Sudan Jonglei State Governor Kuol Manyang Juuk has accused the NCP government in Khartoum of supporting rebels fighting the new SPLA administration. Fighting continues despite independence in July., a photo by Pan-African News Wire File Photos on Flickr.
South Sudan: 30 People Killed in Fresh Attacks in South Sudan's Jonglei State
3 March 2012
Sudan Tribune
Bor — At least 30 people are confirmed dead and more than 15 injured in fresh clashes between youth of Lou Nuer and Murle ethnic groups in Nyirol county since Friday, said the county commissioner.
Nyirol county commissioner, Kuach Duoth confirmed to Sudan Tribune that the attackers were cattle-rustling members of the Murle ethnic group.
"A huge number of Murle youth attacked on Nyuon cattle camp. They killed about 30 young men, wounded 15 and made away with 15,000 heads of cattle", Duoth said.
He claimed the soldiers of Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) in Nyirol were informed about the assault but refused to intervene.
Duoth said, civilians were preparing to hand over their guns to the government forces as they expected the protection of South Sudan's armed forces who are present in the state.
A state-wide disarmament programme began on Thursday.
The commissioner said the fighting was still going on Saturday evening in Akobo west, "trying to enter their land with cattle", according to Duoth.
He said his request for tracks to go and collect wounded was turned down by the SPLA forces in his county headquarters.
The SPLA officers in the area were not available to comment on these allegations.
Duoth accused his counterpart, commissioner of Pibor, Joshue Konyi Irer, of having denied the involvement of his youth in the attack saying he heard his statements over the local UN radio on Saturday morning.
Deployment of the forces has started
Jonglei state governor, Kuol Manyany, on Thursday announced the deployment of troops to carry out the long awaited disarmament in the state.
In his meeting with the SPLA commanders in charge of division eight in Jonglei, Kuol told the journalist that forces has started moving to Buma in the far east of Pibor and will be deployed in the state before the exercise begins.
"I have been officially told that disarmament is starting today", Kuol said.
It is not clear whether the troops who are still moving to their areas of operation will actually start the real exercise within the week.
"We are just waiting, it is not yet started", Kuol added.
"I have briefed the chiefs and the commissioners who came here yesterday to sensitize and inform their people about disarmament so they hand over their guns to SPLA", he continued.
In a phone call to Pibor, the commissioner, Joshua Konyi Irer said both police and SPLA forces have arrived in the Pibor and are still moving to far places to start the collection of illegal arms.
Another resident from Akobo confirmed to Sudan Tribune the presence of the SPLA troops armed with "heavy guns" in the area.

Comment from Amb. Jayantha Dhanapala
This evening, the conscience of the NPT bargain, Ambassador Jayantha Dhanapala asked to make his perspective on the current situation more widely available:
"Brutal and unconscionable pressure has been exerted on the few countries who opposed the U.S. draft waiver for India at the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) meeting in Vienna, which is to be reconvened on Saturday 6th September morning in Vienna.
I appeal to these countries and to all others in the NSG to remain faithful to the principles of the NPT in the face of nuclear weapons states interests and the commercial profit motives of nuclear technology and materials exporters.
A gaping hole is being created in the NPT through which Israel and Pakistan will drive through unless the U.S. Congress or a new U.S. Administration revise the proposed deal to help ensure the survival of the NPT beyond 2010.

Sailing High School in a New Direction
[Photo: The faculty and staff of Brunswick County Early College High School]
Six years ago, an opportunity to fulfill a lifelong dream showed up in a vacancy for "Principal." Little did I know that this "Principalship" had powerful sails that captured the winds of change with a navigator named "NC New Schools Project" that charted a course for ALL students to succeed at college, career and life. The 5 Rs — rigor, relevancy, relationships, respect and responsibility — became the faculty's mantra and the Firebird Family's culture. Brunswick County Early College High School has grown from five teachers and 80 students to 12 teachers and 310 students in five years, with a solid reputation in a rural coastal county.
Three decades ago, I started my career in a very different situation. For 25 years, I taught science in a traditional urban high school of 1,200 students. Nine 42-minute periods composed a day — six with students, 28-32 in each class, while duty, lunch and planning rounded out the day. The challenges and rewards of that environment were vastly different than those for my teachers today. We did not have state testing or an emphasis on standards; yet the vast majority of our students attended college, at least for a while.
While working as an assistant principal at a larger inner city school in the same urban district, I spent the precious time disciplining our 2nd or 3rd year freshmen and upperclassmen. The rare opportunity to connect with students was enlightening. After a brief retirement, I took a new assistant principal position at North Brunswick High School where I eventually found that vacancy for "Principal."
When presented with the opportunity to become a STEM school, our faculty at BCECHS did not ask, "Why?" They asked, "Why not?"
Since that first conversation, our teachers have met each step of training and implementation with great expectancy. BCECHS has an established culture of learning that incorporates modeling, solving real problems, and a wide variety of community outreach opportunities. Teachers also have experience in utilizing interdisciplinary units and team planning. Transitioning to solving student-generated problems that are relevant to our community with full incorporation of the engineering design process brings a renewed focus to our school's goal of enabling every student to be college ready in a 21st century global economy.

3 Ways to name your profitable blog
Before you decide on a blog name, it is very important that you think it through; here are 3 tips to name your blog for profit.
- Pick your own name, for example Susan Lauren.While this might take a little work on your part to get your blog branded, your readers would come to your blog to hear what you have to say. If you decide to change the direction of your blog, say for example, you now want to blog about marketing instead of fashion, your readers will likely stick with you. Also if you go about using your name, your friends can find your blog easily. You might have to train some of your readers to remember or pronounce your name, but hey it worked for Arnold Schwarzenegger, once they see it a couple of times, they will remember your blog name. Another good example of a blog using a name is Perezhilton.com
- Using a topic keyword as your blog name: This is another way your blog this way people know what you are going to be writing about, search engines would more than likely index your site using the keyword. This happens to be a favorite of mine. Good examples of sites using keywords are moneyhungrymomma (once you see the key word money you then get the idea of what the blog is about), other good examples are engadget (keyword here is gadget), Iwillteachyouttoberich (keyword teach and rich) and Remakablogger (keyword again blogger) .
- Avoid using names that are so generic no one knows what it is you are talking about, a good example is "an information blog" Okay a blog named "Informationblog" is such a generic name, regardless of content, readers would look at the blog name with confusion. What is the point of you blog, what information are you trying to relay?
Now here is a thought that you ought to understand when deciding to create a blog, pick something you are passionate about, not just because it is going to make money.That way you would have topics to blog about long term. I am passionate about learning about various ways to earn a living online and showing you what I have learned along the way; perhaps I can also learn from you too. What does your blog say about you?

With six candidates on the ballot, many residents are choosing to cast zero votes during Tuesday's primary.
"A lot of them you don't hear from," said Dick Keyser of Somers Point.
"You hear one or two on television or something. I got the list in the mail but you don't hear from anyone."
In the primary election to ultimately fill the late Senator Frank Lautenberg's seat, a lack of information is just one of the reasons blamed for an expected low voter turnout.
"2013 is an off year for elections anyway," said Director of the William J. Hughes Center for Public Policy at Stockton, Daniel J. Douglas.
"Now we're in an off month for the primary and off month for the general in October so it will be difficult to get people to come out."
Douglas believes voters are more accustomed to primary elections being held in June.
He also says people out of town on vacations, and Tuesday's stormy weather could further contribute to empty voting centers.
"Here we're just starting in the middle of the summer with no real indicators and not that much advertising from the candidates," said Douglas.
And while some may have many reasons to keep them out of the voting booth, others did what they could to have their voices heard.
"I consider voting a privilege. Its something that people should consider and be doing all the time and we take it very seriously when we vote," said Robert Young of Mays Landing.
Some of the voters we spoke with say they had the future of their children on their minds while casting their votes and they were also surprised and disappointed to hear the possibility of low voter turnout.
"There's a lot to vote for," said Gary Mclelland also of Mays Landing.
"I just wish people would come out and spend the time and talk to people and get involved."
And as the field is narrowed down later Tuesday evening, the results of October's special election could be felt for decades to come.
"New jersey senators tend to not be thrown out of office," said Douglas.
"If Mr. Booker wins as expected, he could be a senator for the next twenty years."
Still, summer plans, the weather and the lack of familiar candidates is enough to keep some out of the voting booth.
"If you knew a little bit more about them that would be good, a lot of people worry about voting for the wrong person too," said Keyser.
Tune into to NBC 40 at 11 or log onto NBC40. net for tonight's election results.

I come from Singapore but find myself now living and working in the Netherlands, specialising in SMS 2003 / Configmgr 2007. I enjoy working and connecting people with computers and I hope I can share as much information as I can here through this blog.
"Computers do not just work like that, at the press of a button. From the moment a computer is switched on in your office, magic happens. That's why you need an IT department and they do more than crawling under your desk to plug in that wire you kicked out."
This year has seen tremendous growth in the cloud computing arena... HP's particularly been aggresive in acquiring 3PAR and also at this moment have 3 global labs focusing primarily on cloud software platforms, the latest being HP Labs Singapore, which was opened in Feb 2010. Read more about what Singapore is developing here. I will make available more information eventually here on the blog as well. Can this be the next BIG thing in the almighty enterprise realm? Then my pal Rob (aka Hammer of Justice) threw this at me which ties in with this entry,
My first impressions of MS Intune is that it will be very handy for organisations to manage and secure their remote offices and also moving, roaming users. Also, the potential for huge cost savings for the infrastructure makes it truely appealing in times like this. I advise anyone interested to read the documentation of the product here on the all almighty Technet. MS is still in the early stages of the product but all the initial signs are pointing to be +ve.
The power of the internet - are we relying too much on it or is this really the future where one day everything will be in the clouds...literally.
Could this signal cloudy skies ahead then? I hold my breathe in great anticipitation.

Arlington -- In the early hours of Tuesday morning, Early County deputies were called out to a mobile home on Georgia highway 216, just south of Arlington near the Baker County line.
"Upon arrival they found a young black male Jeremy Lofton, pronounced dead at scene," said Investigator Will Caudill of the Early County Sheriff's Office.
The 18-year-old Lofton was dead on the ground behind the abandoned mobile home.
Another man was shot, too, but managed to get to a nearby house where he was taken to the hospital. He's still alive and investigators won't release his name because they are afraid the killers will come after him again.
Investigators spent hours pouring over the crime scene this morning, but still don't know why this happened, or who is responsible. "I'm not going to comment on the motive, but I'll say that we are following up on some leads," said Caudill.
Right now, neighbors in the rural community are shocked at what's happened, and hope police make an arrest soon.

Sadiq Khan MP, Labour's Shadow Justice Secretary, commenting on the resignation of Louise Casey as Commissioner for Victims & Witnesses, said:
"Louise Casey has been a fantastic advocate for victims of crime and their families. She has in her time as Commissioner for Victims and Witnesses made it clear why it was so important that we created that post.
"Victims should be at the heart of our criminal justice system and the work that Louise did to elevate their position has been of incredible valuable.
"Reflecting the importance of victims and witnesses, I hope the Government will be swift in appointing a successor, who I will of course look forward to working with in promoting the needs of victims of crime and their families in the criminal justice system.
"I wish Louise all the best in her new role."

Lower grade students at St. George's Independent School Germantown and Memphis campus went to the polls today as well.
They had a big decision on this election day - voting for popsicles for every student and faculty or a spirit day with no dress code.
Each state was represented. The big swing state of Ohio was represented by the second grade class, Florida by the fourth grade.
The debate team was made up of teachers, but the campaign signs were done by Pre-K through fifth graders.
Voter cards were issued, but no photo identification was required.
FOX13 News exit polling showed popsicles were winning but spirit day was gaining momentum.

Chris Bosh
Resume: 16.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.4 blocks, 33.2 minutes, 54% FG (career best), and 80% FT… Team record in games played: 58-16 (8-0 without)… Playoffs: 12.1 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.0 steal, 1.6 blocks, 32.7 minutes, 46% FG, 41% 3PT, 73% FT, 16-7 record… All-Star
I'm running the risk of dropping Chris Bosh from #20 to #25, a development that might result in my mom going Eminem style Berzerk and not cooking me my favorite meals when I come home to visit from school. Last year I made the argument that even though Bosh's numbers had declined from the prior season, that wasn't a legitimate reason to leave him out of the Top 20. A year later Bosh finds himself on the outside of the Top 20 looking in at the other two-thirds of Miami's Big Three, and six players who I didn't have in the Top 20 last year.
Let's get one thing straight before I go any further. I'm well aware of how essential Chris Bosh is to the Miami Heat. Even if I never watched a Heat game, I'd hear it from the media and Heat coach Erik Spoelstra enough to comprehend that this Bosh fella is pretty important. He's the linchpin of what the Heat do offensively and defensively. His ability to guard opposing centers, protect the rim, AND fly around the floor as a part of Miami's hectic defensive scheme is nothing short of incredible. And even though he goes through stretches where he takes far too many three's, the threat of Bosh, a de facto center, being able to knock down jump shots with guard-like precision—Bosh shot 53% from 16-24 feet out this season; in comparison, LeBron shot 45% from that range, and Wade shot 42%— help to make Miami's offense a well-oiled machine. He's a uniquely talented offensive player who rarely gets a chance to showcase his little known scoring arsenal. Miami's position-less and post-player-less offense has turned Bosh into strictly a jump shooter, seldom allowing fans to see how crafty he is making moves going towards the basket. The only times we see that is when he hits an unassuming defender with a shot fake that has to be respected because of his shooting ability.
(I wonder if that's enough complimentary stuff about Bosh to earn myself some of my mom's chicken parm…)
You know what? I'll voluntarily keep going with the Bosh praise because everyone knows the downside to Bosh. He takes too many three's at times. He's been labeled soft and his shoddy rebounding numbers are a concern. He disappeared in a number of playoff games this year—his four game 7 point and 5 rebound per game stretch in the Indiana series did not help his cause—and was badly outplayed by Roy Hibbert and Tim Duncan in back to back rounds. Still, all of the negatives don't offset all of the contributions Bosh brings to the table. Take for example one of the biggest plays in Miami's postseason run.
Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals: With 2.2 seconds left and Miami trailing by 1, Miami inbounded the ball, LeBron made a quick move to the basket, left handed layup good, game over. Was it really that easy? In a way, yes. LeBron was able to get an uncontested layup at the buzzer because there was no rim protection whatsoever. Why was that? Roy Hibbert was not on the floor out of respect for Chris Bosh. Watch the play if you don't remember it or haven't already. Check out how late Lance Stephenson's rotation is away from Bosh. Even in that short amount of time he didn't want to leave Bosh open for a mid-range jumper. With Hibbert on the floor instead of Hansbrough you're adding a rim protector, but you're losing speed on the perimeter to be able to make the switch that Hansbrough and Stephenson made. You see the problem Bosh creates?
A few weeks later Gregg Popovich would find himself in a somewhat similar situation. He decided to sit Tim Duncan down the stretch in Game 6 of the NBA Finals. After LeBron missed a potential game-tying three, in a matter of 1.5 seconds Bosh grabbed the offensive rebound and kicked the ball out to Ray Allen. The rest was history.

- Studio: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM)
- Release Date: Apr 18, 2008
- Starring: Alyssa Milano, Keir O'Donnell, Milo Ventimiglia
- Summary: Some say that the field of pathology is a window to God. Pathologists see the perversion and corruption of the flesh by all means unnatural...by violence...by toxin...by madness...to determine the cause of death. As a result they are the experts in all signs of foul play, and the best in the field can uncover all means of killing, even those that are seemingly undetectable. When medical student Ted Gray graduates at the top of his class, he joins one of the nation's most prestigious pathology programs. With talent and determination, Ted is quickly noticed by the program's privileged and elite band of interns, who invite him into their crowd. Intrigued by his new friends, he begins to uncover secrets he never expected and finds that he has unknowingly become a pawn in their dangerous and secret after-hours game at the morgue of who can commit the perfect undetectable murder. As Ted becomes seduced into their wild extracurricular activities, the danger becomes real--and he must stay one step ahead of the game before he is the next victim. (MGM)… Expand

Even squeamish viewers are apt to be captivated by the tight, credible scripting; these 20-somethings talk and behave like today's irony-clad young sophisticates. And whatever your opinion of the subject matter, you can't fault the filmmaking.
A nasty, naughty little film, a delightfully disagreeable horror-thriller.
When a movie opens with the diner scene from "When Harry Met Sally" as performed by cadavers, and later proceeds to sex scenes involving scalpels and needles, the actual plot is inconsequential. Fans of hard-R exploitation will love this; everyone else will likely be appalled. Screw 'em.
Like its characters, the picture is too clever for its own good, allowing the meticulously researched scenario to be undone by implausible behavior and gaping plot holes.
It takes a certain genius to make butchered corpses, sociopathic lunacy and meth-fueled debauchery nerve-scrapingly dull, and German director Marc Schoelermann and screenwriters Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor (Crank) possess it.
Alyssa Milano is a delight, but her ten to thirteen minutes of screen-time mark her as more of a distraction than substantiation.
A particularly nasty slice of medical-themed horror, Marc Scholermann's film is the sort of thriller in which the tenderest scene depicts an autopsy.

Oct 31, 2010Extremely awkward. Plot development is empty and the acting is nothing special, which is the overall feeling of this movie...nothing special. Just another gruesome, gory, and violent movie trying to mask itself with a mildly interesting plot. By the end of the movie you find yourself saying "Why am I watching this?"… Expand

The Andean lupine, also known as chocho, pearl lupine, or tarwi, is a legume cultivated and harvested in Ecuador, Peru, Chile and Argentina. The scientific name is Lupinus mutabilis Sweet. There's evidence pointing to the seeds being a major part of the ancient Andean diet (along with corn, potatoes, and quinoa), possibly as far back as 500 BCE.
The seeds of the Andean lupine are high in protein, healthy fats and minerals. Andean lupine protein is similar to soy protein. It also has about the same amount of fats as soy, but Andean lupine oil has more oleic acid (the monounsaturated fatty acid found in nuts, olive oil, and avocado) and less linoleic acid (the omega-6 fatty acids found in vegetable oils). It also contains beneficial omega-3 fatty acids.
Andean lupine is rich in minerals. It has large amounts of calcium, magnesium, and iron, plus it's high in fiber, but unlike other Andean grains (quinoa and colored corn) there doesn't appear to be any beneficial phytochemicals. It does contain some phytochemicals, but they're not good for you. They're called alkaloids, and they give the seeds a bitter taste and are potentially toxic, so they must be removed before the seeds are eaten. The traditional method was to simply cook the seeds and rinse them with water. Sometimes farmers would use the alkaloid-rich rinse water as a pesticide.
Once the seeds are processed, Andean lupine is often used as an ingredient in soups, ceviche, stews, and desserts, or it is ground into a protein-rich flour. If you can find it, Andean lupine is a great way to add plant protein, healthy fats, fiber, and minerals to your diet. Maybe it will even emerge as a superfood someday, but right now there isn't any research to suggest you'll get any additional health benefits specifically from eating Andean lupine seeds.

Installing New Steam Radiator (9 Posts)
mculik5 October 26, 2013 @ 8:26 AM
Contact this user
Installing New Steam RadiatorI'm renovating two bedrooms in my house and am installing two new steam radiators as part of the renovation. The radiators are freestanding, cast iron radiators made by Governale. The system is single-pipe.
The radiators have 1 1/4" NPT openings at the bottom (for the valve at one end and plug at the other) and 1" NPT openings at the top. Additionally, about 1/3 of the way up each end section, as well as next to the top 1" NPT opening, there are two small bungs.
Looking at the other radiators in my house, the vents (which are 1/8" NPT) are all installed in the bung that is 1/3 of the way up the end section.
My plumbing supply company said that the vents should be installed using a 1" NPT - 1/8" NPT reducer at the top of the radiator so that the whole thing gets hot. However, I've never had an issue with my other radiators getting completely hot, and don't like the way the vents will look if installed at the top (I'm installing Macon single-pipe thermostatic radiator vents).
Two questions:
1. Should the vents be installed at the top, or is it OK to install them using the bung 1/3 of the way up the end section?
2. Are those bungs meant to be drilled/tapped, and if so, is it standard practice to do that in the field (vs. ordering them pre-tapped)?
Appreciate the help.

That guy is wronghe must have thought you have a hot-water system. Steam is lighter than air. The vent on a steam rad goes in the lower 1/8" bung, which you will have to drill and tap to 1/8" pipe thread if it's not already done."Reducing our country's energy consumption, one system at a time"

ThanksThanks for the quick reply.
I figured he was wrong, since my radiators have been working well since 1939 with the vents installed lower on each end section. Just got concerned/confused when the radiators didn't come pre-tapped for vents.
How hard is it to drill/tap cast iron? I don't have a drill press or much tapping experience. Better to take them to a machine shop?
Also, any recommendations on thread sealants for my install? The old (original) radiators were a huge pain to remove because the fittings were rusted together. I'd like to use some kind of thread sealant that will do a good job, but also allow easy removal in the event I (or the next homeowner) want to paint behind the radiators, etc.
Really appreciate the help.

Tapping Cast IronFine grain cast is fairly easy to drill and tap; use a sharp tool steel drill of the correct size for the tap, center tap the entry point, use low drill speeds to prevent overheating and tear out and make sure you use the correct tapping lubricant for both the drilling and the tapping of the hole. Take your time and let the tools do the work.VABear

Removing old radiatorsMost radiators are connected using rust-free brass components (spud-valve), so the part to remove should be easy with the right tools and a bit of experience. The union of spud, and valve should only require a little dish washing soap on the mating faces, after a thorough cleaning. For the threads of the riser and valve, use Teflon tape. Remember that the valve and spud are a matching pair, and so a new valve and spud may be necessary.

Thanks AgainThis forum is amazing. Thanks for the replies.
Quick background:
I'm a first-time homeowner in Northern NJ. I'm a fairly competent DIYer, but heating/plumbing is probably my weakest DIY area, and this is my first experience with steam heat.
All components from the risers forward are new (risers, valves/spuds, radiators, vents, etc.). My original plan was to replace only the valves and vents. I was going to have the radiators sand blasted/powder coated and reuse them. However, the quote I received for sand blasting/powder coating was very high because of the amount of prep/paint removal required. I did some research, and learned that I could get new radiators and have them powder coated for only a bit more than the original quote. The decision was finalized when I sheared off the tabs inside the spuds trying to get them out.
Based on the replies, my plan of attack for thread sealing is:
- Teflon tape on all threads going into radiator (spud, plugs, vent, etc.)
- Nothing on the nut that pulls the spud/radiator and valve together
- Teflon tape on both ends of the riser
I like the "cleanliness" of Teflon tape, so don't want to use pipe dope if I don't have to. I temporarily installed the valves earlier today with only Teflon tape so I could turn the heat on in the rest of the house for my wife, and didn't notice any leaks, so I think I'll be fine without pipe dope.
Pictures of the bungs are attached. Bungs on one end look like they are plugged, like Nicholas said. I scraped some of the primer off, and the plugs appears to be cast iron, too, and didn't move at all. If they can be unscrewed, please explain how, as they don't appear to have any kind of tool head.
Again, appreciate all replies.

Teflon tapeI have never bothered with tape or dope on radiator vents. Never had a problem. Your millage may vary.

treflon tapeMost teflon tape is very thin but they do make some that is heavier (3-4 mils, oatey is one name) and makes a better seal than the flimsy tapes.

Pipe PlugsThanks for the advice about the tape, Bob. I'll look for some better/thicker stuff.
Nicholas was right. The bungs on one end were tapped and had pipe plugs in them. Not sure if this is the right tool, but I used a hex wrench to get them out.
However, in the process of prepping threads for plugs, etc., I discovered that my radiators were made in China. I was told Governale radiators are American made, and ordered them specifically for that reason. The radiators do say Governale on them, so not sure what's going on, but these will be going back.
In your opinions, who makes the best freestanding cast iron radiator?

I've enjoyed testing numerous F&S custom sport-fishing yachts, but this one qualifies as the most unique. The F&S 54, True Grit, presents a very different look, designed by the futuristic minds at Steve French's Applied Concepts Unleashed. F&S refers to the design as a crossover, and it indeed crosses over many traditional boundaries. It has the open aft bulkhead of a day boat, the bridge deck of an express, the engine room of a convertible and an interior that looks like it was made for a confirmed bachelor - which the owner is not. And yet, it still boasts an open flybridge with dramatically rounded lines and a rakish profile.
Fighting a fish, this hull spins like a dervish, backs down with total control at 6½ knots and reverses course in both directions in under four boat lengths at cruising speed. When trolling at 8½ knots, the wake is a sight to behold, forming two perfectly clear alleys for your lures. Drifting in 2- to 3-foot seas, the 54 exhibited a moderate roll moment with gentle transitions - it's a very stable platform. In all sea conditions, this boat ran beautifully - it was dry, smooth and quiet at all times. And the SeaStar hydraulic steering responded to mere fingertip adjustments.
Obviously, a custom boat is designed to meet the owner's needs and not mine. But were this one mine, I'd prefer to employ a more powerful thruster. Yes, the one aboard moves the bow in both directions. But one of the advantages of using a bow thruster is that it allows you to shift your engines into forward and reverse to pivot and then balance with the thruster, thereby moving the entire boat sideways. That comes in handy when you need to sidle out of a tight space. And I'd also like to see the engine control panel (synch, low idle, etc.) moved out of the closed instrument box and up onto the dash. The only bow thruster controls are in the throttle handles.
Expecting serious traveling on this boat, F&S installed both a forward windlass and a rear windlass in the rod locker for anchor retrieval from the cockpit.
The cockpit meets fishing needs handily with a mezzanine for guests to watch the baits while staying out of the blazing sun. The obligatory freezers, refrigerators, ice dump, grill and storage hide beneath the seating. A beautiful teak covers the deck, the gunwales, the toe rail and the bridge gate over the tuna door.
You'll notice the spacious storage lockers under the gunwales, one with gaff holders, and a full-width fish box in the cockpit deck. Heavy hatches on the box should help keep ice and fish in good condition.
I have always appreciated a transom livewell with an aquarium window. At night, when lit and filled with bait, these livewells add magical ambience to any cockpit. Rounding out the impressive work space is a handsome Release Marine rocket launcher.
Belowdecks, the salon seems especially spacious since there's only one cabin taking up space forward. The master stateroom in the bow sports an oblique twin berth to starboard and an oblique single higher on the port bulkhead. Several single berths line the salon's starboard bulkhead and double as seating. The galley resides between the berths and the forward cabin. Though fairly spare, the joinery found in the salon and elsewhere is flawless. About the only addition I would make would be to place handholds overhead to facilitate walking forward through the open space while at sea.

SEC Renews Institutional Sound Policy
June 01, 2012
Under the rule, it is permissible to ring cowbells during pre-game activities, at halftime, during timeouts and after MSU scoring plays. Mississippi State Athletic Director Scott Stricklin stressed the need to continue to observe the policy and noted that a violation would result in a penalty of $50,000 per game.
MSU President Dr. Mark Keenum praised the decision and credited MSU fans for their support. "Mississippi State fans have shown tremendous respect for this beloved tradition by following the rules and 'ringing responsibly.' Their efforts provided validation for the case I made with my fellow SEC presidents and chancellors. I told them the cowbell has special meaning in our Bulldog family, and that those feelings were evident in the way our fans responded over the past two seasons. They acknowledged the positive role our fans played in making this arrangement work. I appreciate the support of Commissioner Mike Slive and my SEC counterparts in helping us preserve this great tradition," he said. "Now, more than ever, we must remain focused on 'ringing responsibly,' but I have every confidence that our fans will be vigilant and committed. Doing so will ensure that present and future Bulldogs can continue to ring their cowbells at Davis-Wade Stadium."
Stricklin said, "We appreciate the vote of the Southeastern Conference membership in maintaining one of the great traditions in college athletics," Stricklin said. "It is an affirmation of the work we have done to educate our fans of the league's institutional sound policy, and our fans' commitment to following the guidelines. It remains incumbent upon us to continue the process of educating our fans so that a long-standing tradition may continue for years to come."
