Serving ferry riders takes priority over minor cosmetic work
We at the Washington State Department of Transportation share Mossback's frustration about the appearance of some of the Washington State Ferries vessels, as expressed in the recent column "Paging Jay Inslee: What's with the rusting ferries?" The governor asked me to personally respond.
WSF's fleet of 22 vessels carries more than 22 million riders on about 160,000 annual trips. More than 96 percent of those trips are completed on time. As Mossback — Knute Berger — points out in his column, a robust vessel maintenance and preservation program is critical to maintaining our impressive service record, ensuring the safety of the traveling public and combating impacts of constant exposure to salt water.
The average age of our vessels is 34 years old and the oldest was built in 1954. These aging ferries need constant maintenance and preservation to keep them operating safely and reliably and to maintain their U.S. Coast Guard certification.
Like any business or family on a tight budget, we too have to make decisions to sometimes delay expenses to address an unplanned event. Our focus is on keeping the vessels running, which means that occasionally cosmetic or less-urgent maintenance, such as painting, must be deferred. For example, in early May, we learned that a 47-year-old drive motor on the Super Class vessel Yakima needs refurbishment and it will require four months of repairs. To maintain service system wide, WSF shuffled vessels between routes and deferred a scheduled paint job on the Cathlamet.
Will this vessel show some peeling paint? Perhaps. But, millions of customers will avoid service disruptions and delays this summer. With no spare vessels in the fleet, it becomes a juggling act to cycle vessels in and out of the shipyard for required annual inspections as well as routine and unscheduled work.
The topsides of our vessels are painted every eight to 10 years. For a Jumbo Mark II ferry like the 202-car Tacoma that Mossback rode, a paint job costs more than $7 million dollars and takes up to four months during which the vessel is out of service. Right now, there is only one shipyard in Puget Sound that can paint a vessel this size, so we must carefully plan this work to make the best use of our resources. The Tacoma is scheduled for a paint job in spring 2015 and we can't wait to see her looking shipshape, but in the meantime we're thankful for her steady service on the Seattle-Bainbridge route, where she makes nearly 700 trips each month.

Why is a vessel out of service for top-side painting? (Is it quicker? Does the paint job last longer? I'm sure there are some legitimate reasons.) Is there any benefit to regular spot-painting to lessen the look of the photos Mossback took?
Last time we rode the Coho to Victoria, BC, they were painting a section of it. That's a fleet of 1, right? I remember riding that boat back when I was in high school. Wikipedia says it was built in 1959.

There are people standing at the foot of every on ramp and at every arterial intersection holding signs saying that they will work for food. Why not pick some up, give them some nail guns, grinders, primer, paint, brushes and rollers and give them jobs for a day or two? They can do most of the work during the day while the boat is in service. Give them a hot lunch, feed them dinner, and give them a front-of-the-line pass good for a guaranteed bed that night. Give them some cash, too.
Chipping and painting is pretty easy work, and there is are thousands of people on our streets that want the work, the food, the stipend and the bed. It's a win-win - our boats get preserved, and homeless or jobless people get to do something productive for the community.

Hopefully we aren't repeating the same mistake (deferred maintenance) that rusted out the hulls of the steel electrics.

Often when we are presented with difficulties in life, we dig deep and rise to the challenge. Such a philosophy was adopted by The Theodore team in 1981. At the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort that year, teams often felt like they were left out in the cold -literally! 30 cars were entered for the event but there simply wasn't room in the pit buildings for all of them! The only solution for some was to set up shop on a patch of grass near the pitlane exit.
Theodore Racing was brought into being by Theodore 'Teddy' Yip who'd built an empire in the Far East, dealing in shipping, rice, corn, sugar, restaurants and of course cars. He was a busy man. Mr Yip attempted racing cars himself, but ended up more in the management side of things, participating in five seasons between 1977 and 1983, with cars being known as either an Ensign, a Wolf or a Theodore as it happens.
For the Dutch Grand Prix and the remaining second half of the season in '81, Swiss racer Marc Surer was employed to drive for Theodore. Most drivers think that when they reach F1, they've made it! It's the high life for me from now on! But Marc must have had a shock when he showed up for the first practice session. It's incredible to imagine an F1 team in the modern era having to cope with absolutely no amenities! Where on Earth would they put all the analysts with their banks of computer monitors! You can imagine Marc Surer here having to do a quick change into his overalls in the Gent's loos, before climbing into his cockpit!
Despite the obvious setbacks, Marc Surer qualified the car and started from 19th on a grid of 24 competitors. He even achieved a faster time than notable drivers like Michele Alboreto and Keke Rosberg -the following year's champion! So far so good! How about the race? Well, he didn't challenge Alain Prost for the victory, but he did keep his nose clean and came home in 8th position (out of 10 finishers), albeit 3 laps down. Unfortunately only the first six finishers scored points then, but it was a mighty gallant effort and his best for the team that season.
Incidentally, the Theodore car was fitted with Avon tyres, which was one of four manufacturers supplying their wares that year. Others were Goodyear, Michelin and Pirelli. I can't be certain how well the Avons ran on the grass at the end of the pitlane, but it obviously didn't interfere too much during the weekend! Hats of to the Theodore team for being such great sports despite the situation they found themselves in!

Tokyo's strangest sights
Umbrellas from a vending machine
When it comes to personal consumption, far more Tokyoites get their food and drink from conbini (convenience stores) and vending machines. Both offer an excellent peek into the daily rhythms of the city's commuters and can be found on every street corner. Japan has more vending machines per capita than any other country. In addition to hot canned coffee and bottles of cold green tea, vending machines have been known to dispense such necessities as canned bread, beer, umbrellas and hot noodles. They are also increasingly high-tech: some have touch screen menus and face recognition software to track and respond to the preferences of identifiable demographics.
Washroom washlets
But no Japanese innovation inspires more awe than the washlet. These are the electric toilets equipped with water spraying nozzles that clean your nether regions at the push of a button. The more sophisticated ones also have seat warmers, air dryers and water pressure adjusters. Some even raise and lower the toilet seat for you. Flushing toilets were a wonderful invention, but why stop there? The development of the washlet is a perfect example of kaizen, the practice of continuous innovation and improvement.
An 18m-tall, 35-tonne robot warrior
The city's largest paean to technology can currently be found on the bay in Odaiba. Here stands a one to one scale model of Gundam, the giant "mobile suit" from the epic anime series of the same name. The statue was originally created for a two-month run in 2009 to mark the 30th anniversary of the series, but thanks to intense popular demand, it is back for another year-long run until spring 2013. With any luck, this 18m-tall, 35-tonne robot warrior will become a permanent fixture. It would not be a bad emblem for a city as ambitious and seemingly otherworldly as Tokyo.

An Attraction Marketing System turns the niche of conventional marketing upside down. Historically, if folks wanted to sell goods to the general public, they would go out and locate crowds to sell to. This would have meant several hours of cold calling, trawling the streets and more, the outcome often was low or no sales.
What is An Attraction Marketing System?
The attraction technique is based on the principle that you don't need to go and locate individuals, people want what you happen to be advertising and ultimately come and discover you!. Sales is actually a profession that demands getting a person to like what you are advertising, agreeing to purchase that solution at your price. An "attraction marketing system" indicates you no longer must hunt for individuals to sell your item to.
Back in the day, sales people spent countless hours cold calling on the phone, knocking on doors, targeting family and friends regularlyand getting a couple of or no results whatsoever along with some disgruntled loved ones. Now things have changed and evolved, and you no longer must do that technique.
Now, prospects come to you for what they need. This really is the ideal marketing strategy for anybody in the network marketing or multi-level Marketing business arena. By cutting down the quantity of time you invest to chase new business, it increases the time you have to promote your product/s or solutions and attract individuals to you.
Attraction Marketing is about promoting you first. Products don't sell products, people sell products and with attraction marketing techniques, you are able to turn out to be successful a lotquicker. If you brand "you", then this really is almost certainly the most desirable componentin the package and the sales will follow. As an attraction marketing professional, you'd convince your prospects that they want what you are advertising, this cannot be done by bombarding them with specifics and figures, it's completed by demonstrating what the item or service can do and most of all what outcomes you've experienced. You need to show them what they may be missing out on by being the person they would aspire to become a top producer, respected along with a leader.
There is an ever ending stream of individuals in the world hunting out a home based business opportunity. There's also lots more currently in business which is not a success for them for a lot of different causes, they are your target audience. Remember, informing them how fantastic it could be if they joined your team will not work, that is merely a traditional hard sell strategy.
Implementing an attraction marketing system isn't difficult but can demand a mindset change for some. Rather than trying to figure it out by yourself, save hours upon hours of time then you definitely should check out a flawless proven technique like MLSP – My Lead System Pro. This program is utilized by numerous 6-7 figure revenue leaders to this day, and it gave them the foundation to become rock stars in their arena. MLSP Attraction Marketing System truly does change people's lives and make their dreams come true and it has been proven time and time again.

Moundsville native Sonny Allen told me Friday morning that it was an honor to have had the opportunity to participate in a press conference, along with the legendary Hal Greer, in conjunction with a weekend farewell to Huntington's Veterans Memorial Field House where both played in late 1950s, and where Allen began a coaching career covering six decades.
Although he participated in more than 1,000 press conferences during his coaching career, this is the one he will always remember, Allen stated, as he and Greer, who were Marshall teammates for three seasons, hadn't seen each other for more than 30 years.
While Greer, who grew up in Huntington and broke the state's color barrier in sports when he enrolled at Marshall, was at first reluctant to return, having suffered a stroke eight years ago, Allen said he literally started packing his bags for his return when he learned of the event.
Allen said, "Hal was very glad he came back, he had that same smile and wit I knew during our playing days at Marshall."
Greer played in the NBA for 15 years, and in 1966, the NBA's 50th anniversary, was named one of top players in the league.
Allen and Greer were among some 100 former basketball players who returned for the festivities for the Field House, and it was only fitting that Allen was chosen as one of the coaches for the alumni game as after his freshman coaching days at Marshall, he coached at Old Dominion, SMU and Nevada, before closing out his coaching career in the professional ranks in both WNBA and NBA which involved 996 games. Allen was one of 13 Marshall Athletic Hall of Fame members who took part in this past weekend's event.
In addition to the alumni game, there was a salute to military veterans, along with a silent auction of items from the Field House, such as seats, bankboards and scoreboards.
The building was constructed in 1950 and served as Marshall's home court until 1981, when the current Cam Henderson Center opened its doors.
The Field House served the Huntington area and the state for other events including Golden Gloves Boxing Tournaments. Many of these events featured Don Young and Gene Young of Moundsville.
The West Virginia Catholic Basketball tournament was held there for many years, and among those competing was Pancho Flores of Moundsville, who played for Wheeling Central. He was a MVP player in the tournament one year.
Also, it was at Veterans Memorial Field House that the 1966 Moundsville High School basketball team played in the state finals, losing to Dunbar in the championship game. The team was coached by Joe Pelaez and was led by Bob Hummel. I spoke with Hummel, a Scholastic All-American that year, on Thursday, and he remembers the two games there very well. Hummel scored 45 points in the victory over Richwood, and 34 against Dunbar. At one time, before the 3-point shot, the 79 points was a record for the semi-final and finals of the state tourney.
Oh, by the way if you don't know, Veterans Memorial Field House will soon give way to the wrecking ball as it will be razed and Marshall University, the new owner of the property, will turn it into a soccer complex.
The Strand Theatre Arts Council needs your help!

Moundsville resident Jim Stultz, vice president of human resources at West Liberty University, will be the speaker for the monthly WLU/Marshall County Breakfast Club to be held at 7:30 a.m. Wednesday at Moundsville's Perkins Restaurant and Bakery.
All alumni and friends of WLU are invited to attend the "Dutch Treat" event.
Those planning to attend may RSVP by email to firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling 304-336-8301. Walk-ins are also welcome.

Hi all,
This may be a really dumb question, but I thought I'd better consult some experts because I think I'm going around in circles. I'm a newbie so I may be missing something obvious...but the picture in my book doesn't seem to match the words. I'm working on a project that calls for a 35-degree angle cut with a jigsaw. This is a magazine rack made from two pieces that slide together to form an angle. The plan says to "tilt the jigsaw base to 35 degrees left", but my saw only tilts to 45 degrees. There's no way to set it to 35 degrees, unless I'm supposed to be aiming for the complementary angle? If the plans call for a 35-degree cut, are they really asking for 35 degrees off of 90, which would be 55? THAT I can hit! This is doing my head in...geometry was a REALLY long time ago! Thanks a bunch! |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you tilt the foot(the metal part that is tiltable) to 35 degrees----that will happen before you get to 45 degrees---it starts at perpendicular(if you use 90 it is confusing) and the tilt degrees start at 0, then one degree, then two---up to 45 Degrees. Making a matching but opposite aggle cut with a jigsaw means the other cut has to be made in the reverse direction is the pieces are not identical. If the pieces are identical but mirror, makes no difference which direction they are cut. The total angle when the two pieces are mated will be 70 degrees. |
- Posted by hearthside_im_all_in (My Page) on Fri, Jun 19, 09 at 7:35
Handymac, thank you. That helps a lot - think of perpendicular as zero degrees instead of 90. I ended up at the same place, I think - 35 degrees off of the perpendicular is a 55-degree angle from the other direction. And THAT matches the picture in my book, so I feel better! The plans gave directions for making a jig to set the blade angle, and the picture was showing a 55-degree angle instead of 35. But if I think of it from the perpendicular as zero, that makes sense...Thanks again! I think I'm ready to make my cuts today! |

LaurenUnited StatesHairDark BrownHesitant To Purchase, But So Glad I DidI've always used the basic conair 29.99 drugstore hairdryer. I follow a few beauty blogs and the subject of a professional hairdryer kept being brought up. My last hairdryer was starting to die and so I began the debate on whether to go ahead and purchase an expensive pro blow dryer. A blogger that I read mentioned that she used the Sedu, so I came to folica.com and looked around. The reviews and prices seemed consistent between models. It was a hard to py so much for a blow-dryer, but I figured I had spent almost as much on a Chi straight iron that I only use every couple of months. The Sedu is worth every penny. I have very straight, very thick, very soft hair which means it usually falls limply and can be dull, but looks glossy and shiny and bouncy after a pro blow-out. Now my hair looks that way at home. The Sedu has two temp settings and two air flow settings (independent of each other!) plus a cool shot button and an ion on/off option. I blow-dry my roots with the ion off and the heat on high and the lower air flow with a round brush or just my head flipped over. then I turn the ion on and up the air flow and us a large paddle brush to blow-dry the rest. My hair comes up with looking full, glossy, and with some bounce. NO longer stuck to my head with lots of fly-aways. I will never purchase another drugstore hairdryer again!!! The Sedu is fairly small and the balance of it is different than my old conair...nothing bad, just took a little getting used to. THe air flow is so much stringer that even on high heat, I'm not sweating. This saves time and energy and my hair looks better! I highly recommend!posted Mar 6, 2013Link to this post
Michael M.HoustonHairNormal HairOily HairCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairThick or Coarse HairRelaxed HairChemically Treated HairBest Dyer!I am professional hairstylist. My previous Sedu 4000i had button problems and couldn't send back for repairs( won in contest so didn't get receipt since free). I work at Blow Dry Bar and doing blowdrys all day long. The Sedu worked like a mule. Before buying the same one I did some research to see if any that compares to this dryer and worked with ones in shop (Chi, Paul Mitchell, Babybliss & Rusk) before buying another one.
Pros- small for flexibility, won't extend and strain your shoulder as much as big dryers do (even doing your own hair this makes sense), easy to get to scalp, 1875 watts and 2 year warranty.
Cons- It weighs little more than pound.posted Mar 5, 2013Link to this post -

The only con is that it is a bit loud, but what blow dryer doesn't? Highly recommended!posted Feb 25, 2013Link to this post
ZareenaUnited StatesHairDark BrownNormal HairFine or Thin HairLove.I love this hairdryer. I have always purchased my hairdryers from CVS, just buying a new one once the old one finally gave up and died. I went through two of the orange Conairs literally dying by shooting sparks at me, and I decided that perhaps an upgrade was in order.
The things that attracted me to this dryer were the reduction in drying time, the shorter barrel and the concentrator nozzle.
I did find that it shortened my drying time, but kind of in a different way. I still spend the same amount of time drying my hair (about 20 minutes for my straight, medium length (hits the middle of my shoulder blades), fine but thick hair. The difference is that now in the 20 minutes I spend I can get it to look like it's really "done" whereas before that was just the amount of time it took to get it dry enough to go outside and not get a cold, and it took about 45 minutes to get it the same results that I'm getting with the Sedu if I wanted it to look blown out. Also, I find that my blowout lasts a lot longer when I use the Sedu. Not sure why. The shorter barrel also helps, I think, because it isn't as awkward to hold the dryer when it's close to your head.
Oh, and people complained about the weight of the dryer, saying that it's heavy. I didn't notice it being heavy at all in the slightest...although I am pretty strong.posted Feb 25, 2013Link to this post -
CrystalVisalia, CAHairBlondeColor Treated HairDoes The JobSo, I read excellent reviews about this baby. Is it better than my $35 blow dryer? I don't know yet. So far, I haven't seen much of a difference. It dries in the same amount of time my other did. I don't notice any less frizz. I do like the fact that it is more compact and has a really long cord. It's also a little lighter than my old one, so that helps when you have longer hair, like myself. Worth full price? Probably not. If you can catch a great deal on it though, it's probably worth it.posted Feb 25, 2013Link to this post
ShelleyHairBlondeCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairSuper Blow DryerThis dryer lives up to my expectations and more! I can finally get smooth, frizz- free hair after blow drying. I still,need to use a large round brush while drying but the results are worth the effort! With my old dryer I looked like I stuck my finger in a light socket after drying.. Now flat ironing is optional.
I highly recommend this dryer!
Only drawback I have noticed is the nozzle gets HOT when using high heat! It is HIGH HEAT!!

LaurenAlbuquerque, NMHairDark BrownThick or Coarse HairDisappointing Results For Such A High PriceI expected to see a big difference in the result after drying and amount of time spent with this compared to my $30 Conair hair dryer. It took the same amount of time and my hair didn't look any less frizzy or poofy. I definitely still had to straighten it. A few other reviews stated they didn't need to after drying with this. I even used a round brush and dried in sections and still wasn't any more impressed. For this price I want to see major results. Don't waste your money. I will be returning this. I also have ordered the Sedu revolution flat iron, also not impressive results.. I own the Sedu ionic ceramic tourmaline flat iron and had loved it and ironically enough it just broke after less than three years and taking good care of it. I no longer trust this brand. I have seen reviews from others saying theirs died on them and was just crossing my fingers I wouldn't have that experience. What an overall disappointment.posted Feb 11, 2013Link to this post

Looking for a stainless, clean-look, DF range for my parents new home.
Looking at the KA Architect Series II, linked below. My local shop can get it for $1750, but I'm wondering if anyone can suggest an equally good range for $1200-$1500. Would prefer to not have to have the 6" high back guard/trim piece on the back (not sure what it's called), I like the clean look shown in the picture linked below. Only other thing that's nice to have is the triple ring super burner. Any suggestions appreciated! Madeline :) |

Is there a particular reason you want a dual fuel? Given your budget of $1200-1500, you will get more bang for the buck with an all-gas range. If you think baking will be different in an electric oven, it only might be if you were a professional baker baking more elaborate items. But for the average home baker making cookies, cakes and breads, the all-gas oven is excellent. It is even better for things needing more moisture like breads and meats. Since you want to lower you budget to $1200-1500, I recommend an all-gas range. It looks like your are already familiar with the AJmadison website (from your other thread). Check out the choices there in your price range. You can find a slide-in range (i.e. without the controls at the back) and with a 15,000 btus "super burner" starting at about $1400 |

Thanks, alwaysfixin. I've read so many threads on baking in an AG oven, and never seemed to find a consensus. I appreciate your input, especially b/c my mom does bake a lot of breads, and I didn't realize the higher moisture level could be beneficial in that situation. I'm checking out some AG options now. |

The lobby features an original marble mosaic tile vaulted ceiling, and a dramatic marble and brass staircase. Scattered around the lobby are original site-specific art works such a chandelier of thousands of reflective discs suspended over the floor on wires, and an abstract ceramic wall installation behind the reception area made up of many pieces of hand cast porcelain.
Off of the lobby the two story hotel restaurant is also a contrast of eras, merging the historical context with a touch of the modern day dandy. It is called Woodward, named after a tavern once owned by Almanac author Nathaniel Ames. The main feature of the restaurant is the "Cabinet of Curiosities" on the second floor, a Victorian-inspired shelving throughout the dining space that is curated with over 200 hand selected objects of inspiration. Windsor chairs, epoxied in high gloss white finish, are scattered throughout the restaurant, complimenting the wood panelled walls washed in a milky enamel.
The guest rooms provide a contrast of history and innovation, exhibiting an elegantly minimal and sleek framework with details that pay homage to the original 19th century design of the building. The illumination and levity of the room is enhanced by light oak flooring, 10-foot high ceilings, a white lacquered nightstand, a cream-colored leather upholstered floating platform bed, and the frosted glass that gives a fluid continuity between the main room and the bathroom. The hospitality suites are all on the third floor, all boasting floor-to-ceiling arched windows. The suites boast a sectional sofa, upholstered in black and white woven fabric and a modern, signature wingback chair in black lacquer and white leather. The light oak floors are complimented by silver-gray, silk viscose carpets and feature white lacquer carerra marble dining tables with white leather and metal dining chairs.

PROVIDENCE, R.I -- Sitting in the top bleachers at Trinity Rep, 25-year-old Jerome Arul soaks up the speakers Wednesday at BIF9.
An estimated 400 are in attendance for the two-day conference, created for people to inspire each other and exchange ideas. Most paid $1,800 for the experience.
Arul didn't thanks to mentor, Mickey Ackerman, a BIF administrator.
"It's been incredible so far," says Arul, a 2012 graduate from Rhode Island School of Design.
He was most inspired by military veteran, and photographer, Stacy Pearsall. Pearsall was the last to speak in season one. After being injured, she made it her mission to help fellow veterans.
"So nice to see her come out of something like that with such a positive outlook," he said.
Arul served two years in the Singapore military, which he says is mandatory, before going to RISD. He is currently based in Singapore, his home country, but spent the last year designing and making affordable off-road vehicles for middle class residents in Kenya.
Arul says there aren't any manufacturing companies in Africa.

Porter County drivers staying home
BY AMY LAVALLEY Post-Tribune correspondent February 2, 2011 10:29AM
Jill Perry puts the finishing touches on a snow cave she was making for her children while clearing her driveway on Clairborne Crossing in Valparaiso, Ind. Wednesday Feb. 2, 2011. Perry, a flight attendant for American Airlines, had was supposed to travel to Seattle but was happy to be at home instead. | Andy Lavalley~Sun-Times Media
Updated: February 2, 2011 9:46PM
Porter County motorists seemed to be listening to dire warnings about the blizzard, staying off the roads and making a challenging situation easier for snowplows and law enforcement alike.
Officials said this morning that advance warning about the storm helped, setting it apart from the mid-December storm that stranded motorists on area roads.
A snow emergency went into effect at 3 p.m. Tuesday and remains in effect for the time being.
"Actually, everybody did a real good job adhering to all the warnings with the storm coming and staying off the roads," said Cpl. Larry LaFlower, with the Porter County Sheriff's Department. He said deputies are riding in pairs in seven four-by-four vehicles to respond to emergency calls.
Drivers who abandon their vehicles and return to find them impounded should check with the Sheriff's Department after the storm clears to find out where they have been towed.
Still, LaFlower said, that's been far less of a problem than it was last month, adding the number of abandoned cars this time around has been "very minimal."
The Porter County Highway Department has 29 drivers in plows now and is working to keep the main arteries in the county clear, said David James, the department's assistant supervisor. Plows will get to subdivisions and other secondary roads later.
Plow drivers have been on detail to help get police officers get to and from work, but other than that have focused on clearing snow.
"We didn't get as much snow as expected but the wind was our enemy all night and still is," James said. "Fortunately, we're seeing minimal traffic. People are getting the message, and that's good."
With a heavy band of snow expected to hit the region as it moves out of Chicago, Phil Griffith, director of the Porter County Emergency Management Agency, said the county could still see snowfall totals in the 18- to 24-inch range by the time the storm is over.
He estimated the county had seen about 16 inches of snow as of this morning.
"Once the snow stops, we're not out of the woods yet. We've still got the wind," he said, adding the county will still be under blizzard conditions. "I can simply hope everybody does what they've done so far and pays attention, and stays home."

I've got an outdoor floodlight (150W) that is connected to a single 20 amp breaker. I want to add 2 more flood lights, with a separate switch to control the new lights.
Is there any problem with doing this? And would I just run the wire for the new floods out of the existing junction box? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Done correctly, there is no problem with what you propose, providing the 'existing junction box' has an 'always hot' lead (i.e. one that is not controled by a switch) as well as a neutral and a ground. |
just be sure you use 12/2g for the wiring. i would reccomend 12/3g for a loop switch with the neu capped. |

In "Building Bridges," a Tapestry of Faith program
A religious awakening which does not awaken the sleeper to love has roused him in vain. — Jessamyn West, novelist, in The Quaker Reader, 1962
The Religious Society of Friends, commonly known as Quakers, is small in numbers—less than half the size of Unitarian Universalism, with only 300,000 adherents worldwide. Religious soul mates of Unitarian Universalists in many ways, Quakers have had a far-reaching social and political impact, as well as an influence on our own faith, through their commitment to peace, equality, justice, and humanitarian work.
There may well be someone in your congregation who identifies as Quaker who could meet with the group. Visiting a Friends Meeting is an experience UU youth find both enjoyable and educational.
For more information contact web @ uua.org.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors and congregations. Please consider making a donation today.

Collective-LOK has received the nod from a prestigious jury panel and the public to design the new home for the Van Alen Institute, an important New York cultural institution dedicated to promoting innovative thinking about the role of architecture and design in civic life. The competition, dubbed Ground/Work, attracted 120 entries from 20 countries and resulted in three finalists, including EFGH (Hayley Eber, Frank Gesualdi, Spencer lapp, Pat Ruggiero, and Ari Ivanova) and Of Possible Architecture (Vincent Appel, Ethan Lay-Sleeper, Jaime Magaliff, Paul Miller, Heather Murtagh, Franklin Romero, Jr., and Emily Ruopp in collaboration with Jay Atherton). But ultimately Collective-LOK's proposal, entitled Screen Play, won the day.
The winning design envisions a highly flexible space utilizing a subtle interplay of surfaces and screens to allow for the diverse range of uses demanded by the activities of the Institute, from multimedia exhibitions and lectures to workshops and private meetings. "Collective-LOK's proposal offers a vision that is both sophisticated and sensitive to the needs of Van Alen as an evolving cultural organization," said David van der Leer, Executive Director of Van Alen Institute. "As we refocus the Institute on research and programs that also explore cities, we are fortunate to collaborate with this inspiring design team."
Of their win Collective-LOK said in a statement: "We're thrilled to participate in building a new institution home for Van Alen. The opportunity to shape one of the major cultural spaces for architecture and design in New York City is unique, and one that we look forward to given our shared background as architects, curators, critics, and educators. The competition process was a strong reflection of the Institute's desire to create public dialogue on the role of architecture and design in the city, and we are proud to provide a setting that will support and enable that mission."
In addition to the public vote, the finalists' proposals were evaluated by a jury composed of Stephen Cassel (Architecture Research Office,and Board of Trustees, Van Alen Institute), Winka Dubbledam (Archi-tectonics and University of Pennsylvania), Mark Gardner (Jaklitsch/Gardner Architects), Mark Robbins (International Center of Photography, and Board of Trustees, Van Alen Institute), Ada Tolla (LOT-EK), Marc Tsurumaki (LTL Architects), David van der Leer (Van Alen Institute) and Marc Kushner (Hollwich Kushner, and Architizer).

Sensory Integration
What is Sensory Integration?
Sensory experiences include touch, movement, body position, vision, smell, taste, sound and the pull of gravity.
Sensory Integration is "the neurological process that organises sensation from one's own body and from the environment, and makes it possible to use the body within the environment." (Ayres, 1989).
For a child who experiences sensory processing problems, sensory integration therapy can be used. This may involve the use of suspended equipment to provide enhanced sensation as part of a meaningful activity that yields an adaptive response, or improves the ability to process sensation, thereby enhancing learning and behaviour.
Sensory Integration Therapy delivered by Val Wood, our Physiotherapist.

I feel like I must been living under a rock to not know this, but watch out for those Yankee candles and other scented candles because they can leave soot residue on your walls and ceiling.
Right before Thanksgiving, while in my cleaning frenzy, I noticed how dark the walls in our half bath had become. It was right near the area where we keep a large candle (or so I thought). When I washed it, this black mess came off and left horrible streaks. Off to Google it: soot from candles. I bought a soot sponge at the hardware store, which helped to some degree. However, it was over all the walls and ceiling, as became apparent when I took the paintings down. I tried every suggestion and even Mr. Clean Magic Erasers left streaks. I just finished washing w/ TSP this week and painting this a.m.(not something I enjoy at this busy time of year!) No more candles here! Thought I'd pass this along to save others the work I just went through. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Soot is one of the reasons that I use battery-operated candles. They may not be quite as beautiful, but my walls and ceilings are much cleaner. |
Your wicks are too long giving off too much smoke. That being said, remember that when you wash walls you go from the bottom up. That way any drips will run down the wet walls on the bottom, not causing streaks. If you start from the top down, the water/solution runs and makes streaks that are almost impossible to remove. But I understand your frustration about the candles, as much as I love them (oil lamps can do the same thing). |
If you use jar candles, extinguish them by putting the lid back on, it helps. |
I noticed when burning candles, rafters are darkened near where the wall and ceiling join. Once can see the out line of a 2x4 at this point along the ceiling. I have never been a fan of candles, outside of one on my stove for cooking odors, for this reason. Given the ceiling texture in most homes washing is not an option. |
There's an Amway product called LOC. First, I don't sell Amway. However, this stuff is EXCELLENT for removing restaurant grease. It even removed lipstick from an entire load of laundry when I washed and dried one in my apron. Diluted it's a great wash, concentrated on a spot it seems to dissolve it. I wont' do without it. With a DH in construction, many times it proved to be amazing. Another thing I've learned about candles is that if you trim the wicks properly, they don't burn with so much soot. Also, that company Party Lights, I think they're called, claim their candles put off far less soot than others, naming Yankee Candle by name. Couldn't prove any of that by me, but being forced to attend two of these parties in a month last year, I bought some that smelled beautiful. Haven't lit them because my cats find candles to be fascinating, but the scents are great. :) Sorry you're going thru such a mess. OH!! I have a friend that lights the fat kind of candles outside until they burn down and soften in the middle. She scoops them out deeply and sticks a battery operated candle down in them!! They look like they're actually burning and pretty. Just another idea! C. |

That happened to me one time during a power outage when I had a small hurricane oil lamp burning on top of the armoire in the bathroom. Ceilings are not very high in the bathroom and are painted white - took a wet rag to it and made a bigger mess. It's been that way now for years, a big smoky smudge. I'll look for that Amway product, sounds promising. |
That's one reason I never burn candles, I just sit the jar or container on a candle warmer plate & use them that way. Lasts a lot longer, too. |
I have a ban on Yankee candles in my home because of this exact problem. We repainted most of our downstairs and were shocked at how much dirty soot had accumulated on walls and ceilings. I love the fragrance and ambiance of the candles but won't buy them anymore now that my walls are newly painted. I have found smokless, dripless tapers for my table. And in place of fragrant candles I have some of those scented reed things. Just opened one up today from "Thymes" in a woodsy pine scent. It's quite pleasant. Off to buy some battery operated votives lol. seagrass |
I look at it this way, if the soot is so bad on the walls, just think of that accumulating in your lungs..... |
Just checked the candle that usually burns as it sits on the breakfast bar in our kitchen -- and there is a smooth white bulk-head-type ceiling not far (but far enough above it for safe burning - of course!) above -- and the ceiling is quite clean! I do trim the wicks every time I light a candle of any sort -- and when the wick is cool -- retwist to tighten the weave of the wick. And use it own glass lid to damp/snuff it -- or a snuffer. Right now I have real, rolled beeswax taper candles in the holders on the fireplace mantle -- and on the dining room table. Will check for any smoke problems around them ..... |
Google Lampe Bergere. I believe there is a thread on the conversations side about them. I just purchased some today at a local shop in my town. I don't see myself burning candles anymore. |
While the negative aspects of burning paraffin candles has been known for a long time it's not general knowledge for many people so don't feel bad. That soot can be a real problem and can spread throughout forced air heating systems. The negative indoor air quality from burning paraffin can have serious health consequences. I burn mostly beeswax candles, occasionally soy wax and use paraffin candles for decor, burn them seldom indoors and trying to use up my stash in the summer on the patio. I've heard it's actually healthy to burn beeswax candles - they do smell nice. |

"I look at it this way, if the soot is so bad on the walls, just think of that accumulating in your lungs....." That's how I feel too... and why I do not burn candles in my house. |
I use mostly soy candles now and I don't believe the soot is a problem with the soy ones. Such a shame because Yankee has some really great scents particularly this tine of year. |
If I want that candle flame flickering look, I use those little tealights that are battery operated. But for scent, I use the Scentsy wickless candles. |
All candles will leave soot, even when the wicks are trimmed back. I use to use the soy ones also, and they also blackened the walls and ceiling. Now I use the battery operated ones. |

I had to ban all candles in rental leases. Had nearly $2000 in soot damage at one, accomplished in only 10 months. Walls, floors, absorbed into the bath grout, vinyl window frames (never did get it all out of those), electrical outlets, carpet. Absolute nightmare. And my HVAC installer said it can mess up the circuit board. We had to use Kilz primer to seal the walls and then topcoat. Washing only smeared it into a slickness ala wax paper and fire restoration sponges didn't help much. |
It seems to me that candles shouldn't be lit in rooms that aren't being used. Doesn't anyone else worry about fire? |

Beeswax is non-allergenic and is a natural air cleaner, recommended by the American Lung Association. ItÔŅĹs the best choice for asthma and allergy sufferers. Beeswax candles burn cleanly, donÔŅĹt drip when properly used, and have long burn times, saving you money. Be sure that the candles you buy are 100% beeswax ÔŅĹ some countries allow as little as 10% beeswax in candles labelled as ÔŅĹbeeswaxÔŅĹ. Even soy candles are not great: soy is not a wax, therefore it is treated in undesirable ways to make it a wax. Also see http://smallbones.ca/blog/the-lowdown-on-fragrances-flavours/ for why fragrances often have undesirable affects. Yes, the blog is mine & I've read the guidelines for posting. There are a couple of links to my website, but the blog is for education, not sales. I hope this is okay. I couldn't re-post the entire article here! :) |

Thank you for all the informative and helpful comments. It got worse! After finishing the half bath I tackled a basement bedroom and bathroom. Fortunately I did not have to repaint but did do quite a bit of work removing the soot. Saturday I bought beeswax candles for our nightly dinner by candlelight. I've sworn off all paraffin candles in our home due to all the information I've read here and elsewhere. Thanks to all who took time to respond. I'd type more but my hands have not seen that much "hard work" in quite some time! |
Poor Bannie! When my painter cousin came to paint at our old house, he yelled at me about the soot from my Yankee Candles. He said to use soy as well... To try and help with the problem, I also trim the wicks every time I light a candle & often times just use my tea warmer instead of burning the candles. PS Hope the cruise was wonderful!! |

Gusty winds, thunderstorm coming our way A violent storm system is blasting through the South and Central part of the country, and we are feeling some of the effects of it here in Delaware. AccuWeather meteorologist Joe Lundberg says watch out. "This is a powerful storm system that's going to get even more so. There's a lot of wind right now anywhere from the Gulf coast all the way up into the Ohio Valley, and it's just a matter of time before that wind is translated down to the surface here in our area, and once it does, temperatures uniformly go into the fifties everywhere, and then keep going into the sixties today. I think in most communities, we'll get over 60 this afternoon," says Lundberg. You can expect a gusty thunderstorm tonight before it all moves out tomorrow. Stay with WDEL for the very latest on this storm threat with your WDEL Delaware AccuWeather forecast. |

Modern Warfare 3 used to top sales charts but it took an arrow in the knee
By Mufaddal Fakhruddin on December 12, 2011
Guess which game topped the UK weekly sales charts?

Latest Videos
Well, this is a surprise. Exactly after a month of its release, Bethesda's Skyrim has finally picked up with the Brits to end Modern Warfare 3′s 10 week charge on the sales sheet.
Apparently, Skyrim received a heavy discount last week, which may have been the cause of the 145% sales jump. Following the RPG is, of course, Modern Warfare 3 at no. 2 and Just Dance 3 at no. 3.
Here's the Top 10:
1. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
2. Modern Warfare 3
3. Just Dance 3
5. Assassin's Creed: Revelations
6. Battlefield 3
7. Professor Layton and the Spectre's Call

Ringling Elephant Sarah Collapses
An elephant who was being loaded into a Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus boxcar collapsed after struggling to climb the ramp, and according to an eyewitness, a Ringling crew member intimidated and forced the elephant to get up and into the railroad car. The circus was loading animals after finishing a run in Anaheim, California, and was on the way to Ontario, California. Reports indicate that the elephant who collapsed is Sarah, an elephant whose removal from performances PETA called for last month because of her poor physical condition.
© Ameer Sanghvi |
Many of the elephants forced to travel with Ringling are ill and in pain. Just weeks ago, two independent veterinarians with many years of experience with elephants analyzed video footage of Ringling's elephant walk and opening night performance in Los Angeles and determined that one of the elephants "is clinically lame to the point of being crippled. Her condition is painful and she should not be performing" and another elephant with "a lump on [her] left upper leg demonstrates obvious pelvic lameness."
Please join PETA in calling on Anaheim Mayor Tom Tait to make this the last time that Ringling comes to town and Ontario Mayor Paul S. Leon to allow an independent expert―not a Ringling lackey―to check on the elephant's condition.

CK's First Trip on a Plane
This past weekend we took our first trip to Chicago with Caden. Things are definitely not the same when you travel with an infant. We traded in our computer bags and my neck pillow and magazines for a stroller, a car seat, a kid, a diaper bag, a breast pump and a rock n' play sleeper. I wish I would have taken a picture of us going to our gate, we for sure looked like first timers with all the stuff we had. I'm sure as time goes on and Caden gets older traveling will become easier and easier.
Security wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. We didn't pack light and it was some work trying to get all the stuff through the machine all while holding a little baby. Luckily, I had Nate to put everything through while I held Caden but I still found myself searching for all of our stuff because it was so spread out. Half our stuff was still going through machine, the other half was being checked by the TSA and someone else is trying to hand me a closed up stroller while I'm holding Caden and Nate's still going through the X-Ray machine. 3 different people are talking to me all while I'm trying to find my shoes because I'm grossed out walking on that floor. I mean if any point in my life where I needed 8 arms and hands. It would be then. All jokes aside, it went pretty smoothly but I couldn't imagine doing it all by myself. A Hell-Yeah to the women out there that do!
Caden was such a good boy. We even got compliments from our neighbors on the plane on how good he was. I nursed him on the way up on the first flight and he just sucked on his Paci on the way down. Vise versa on the flight home. I think as long as they are sucking on something their ears are fine. At least his was.
He was smiling and cooing at the women sitting next to us, a little flirt already. Either that or he's going to love the cougars
The first night we were there Caden was pretty cranky and probably over stimulated. He had so much to take in that he missed a few naps and by the time it was bed time for him he was so over tired that it was hard for him to fall asleep. I found myself pacing the hotel hallway until he passed out. He slept pretty long throughout the weekend considering it was a new place for him. We did take his rock-n-play so I'm sure that helped to have some familiarity.
The next day our friends got into town and Caden and I went to lunch with Jenny and Allison and then hung out pool side for a bit.
Later that night my friend Libby came into town and we had dinner at the hotel. Right before Libby got there Caden had a meltdown. Again, he was so tired and over stimulated he just broke down, but he managed to fall asleep. Even though Libby wished he was up when she was there, I was happy he was sleeping
Saturday before the wedding Caden finally got into the pool for a little bit with daddy.
Saturday night was the wedding and I left Caden for the first time. It was a lot harder then I thought but he did great with the sitter. The wedding was gorgeous; Kelly looked beautiful and Nelson was a dancing fool. It was so much fun. Kelly's father had passed away unexpected a couple weeks before so this wedding was pretty emotional. The speeches were awesome, the food was great and the salad was seriously the BEST salad I've ever had. The band was fantastic, overall a great time. I'm really glad we made it up there and it was so nice to get away and be an adult again, my only regret is not taking one picture!! I was way too busy enjoying myself
Sunday came too quickly but we made it back all in one piece. After taking this trip it reminds me that traveling will not be like it use to be but we can still enjoy doing what we love. Just in a slightly different way.

Do u have any tips for flying with infant? What to/not bring? I'm flying with my 8 week old next week ALONE and am so nervous. I have no clue how I am going to hold the baby and hrt everything through security myself!
Yes … I'm doing a post as we speak!
Hi Susan, did your baby have problems with the pressure changes in the cabin? I've already taken my little 1.5 month old boy on a few car trips, but I am scared about his reaction to his ears popping on the plane in November. Any tips? Thank you!
Caden did awesome on the plane when he was about 2 months old. Just be sure to either feed them or give them a paci taking off and landing to help with the popping of their ears. When they swallow it's like us chewing bubble gum helps their ears pop. He had no problem .. that age is pretty easy because the sound of the plane puts them to sleep. He'll do great, don't worry!

Liver disease, General
Common tropical infections of the liver causing fibrosis or scarring appear to a marked degree more frequently in Type As--and to a lesser extent in Type B and Type AB. Type O, which may have developed anti-A and anti-B antibodies as an early protection against these parasites, is relatively immune to them. For reasons we do not fully understand, Type As, Type Bs and Type ABs tend to have higher levels of gallstones, diseases of the bile ducts, jaundice, and cirrhosis of the liver, than do Type Os. Type As have the highest incidence.

Cooking Controls
July 2003
Print this page
The EGO Twist® electronic cooking zone control system is now available from the company. The company describes the technology as similar to the TouchControl, except it utilizes a magnetically fixed rotary knob that doesn't require a hole in the glass ceramic surface. The system is reportedly resistant to dirt collection and wearing due to magnetic detection of the rotary motion of the control knob. Features such as intuitive general switching off and childproofing are activated by removal of the control knob. Illuminated versions of the Twist knob, which are powered by inductive energy and data transfer from the cooktop, are available to indicate set cooking stages.

Depending on how much you know about fashion, these sunglasses will either strike you as super chic or ridiculously over-the-top—it all depends on how much you would want to wear a pair of sunnies made out of yarn.
Even if you aren't into fashion or making fun of odd designs, you should still check out all of these odd eye shields, if only to drown yourself in creativity and originality. While some of these shades may seem questionable from a fashion standpoint, there's no denying the fact that the designers behind them possess both great creativity and courage.
