Next year...
To Phil Schiller Phil, I can't find the volume buttons on the new iPod touch 6th generation, and I don't hear any sound when playing music. Care to explain why, sir? Thanks Raghid from Lebanon Response from Phil Schiller Hi Raghid. Thank you for purchasing the new iPod touch. It's a remarkable device! The 6th generation does not have any volume buttons or the speaker anymore (it's just too thin!). PS. We are thinking about removing the battery next year. Sent from my iPhone

Btw I'm home with my 5 plugged in because I went from 100% to 4% in 6 and. Half hours cause I turned auto brightness on. That can't be right. I wish we didn't need an ALS in the iPhone cause auto brightness by itself is unnecessary. |

Are you guys really complaining about something so meaningless in the iPod Touch? Look at the main consumer for iPod touches-Tweens and Teens. Why the hell would it matter if it had the ALS?

I wonder why they don't use the Front facing camera as a light sensor, like they currently do on the MacBooks ?
I am sure there has to be a way for them to activate only a couple photo cells to monitor light levels and such. |

Since I got the new iPod touch, I tore apart my iPod touch 2g this weekend. The ambient light sensor from 2008 is so tiny, I seriously doubt they couldn't fit the sensor in the 5g, let alone an updated 2012 ambient light sensor.
P.S. I guess modding iOS to use the camera wasn't in the statement of work, either. |

The light sensor will return in the next generation of iPod as a "new feature". One step back, two steps forward, this is how many are doing business these days. And after each step they sell millions of devices either as a novice item (look, it's so thin!) either as a more full featured device (hey, you wanted a light sensor, here it is again!).

When they switched to Intel they obviously couldn't keep going with their rigged speed tests, they had no real or feigned competitive edge in the speed department since the competition used the exact same Intel processors. That's when this whole "thin" and "gorgeous" craziness grew from side dish to main course. Once the "thinner than the last one" pattern had been established, they had painted themselves into a corner. It's taken for granted now and the stock would probably plummet whenever a keynote presentation doesn't feature the mandatory thickness comparison slide. So all we can do is wait for them to hit a brick wall, or for someone to hit Jony Ive WITH a brick wall. Quote:
Yes, they are indeed beautiful. I sat for hours marveling at the details of Manhattan and Stockholm in glorious 3D. Then I thought, hold on... this has squat to do with the function of a map application, it's for orientation, getting you from A to B, and finding points of interest like restaurants. From that perspective, maps sucks ass. Especially for the 510,000 citizens of Gothenburg, Sweden whose home town didn't even exist according to Maps. It had literally dropped off the map.

I think the difference between Steve saying it, and the others saying it, is that when Steve said it, he actually sounded like he believed what he was saying, whereas when the others say it, you can tell they are just repeating what they have heard Steve say, hoping to create the same effect. Basically it sounds very phoney when the others say it, maybe thats why it bothers you.

Good riddance
Ambient light sensor: a.k.a The first thing I turn off on all my Apple products. This news would only be tragic if the ALS on Apple products worked well and wasn't sensitive to EVERY change in light levels, including a cloud partially blocking the sun for a nanosecond.

A company tries to help push people further into the wireless age and all we do is complain they didn't GIVE me some adapter so I can use all my old stuff with my new stuff. Oh by the way - this happened one time in 10 years. And will only happen again in another 10 years.....I'm pretty sure a $30 adapter spread over 10 years so you can use your older outdated stuff shouldn't be too much for those who spent hundreds on a phone... But we gotta complain don't we

Mine stopped working after some iOS update on my iPod Touch, hasn't worked for 3 years… not a big problem really! When it did work, it took like 5 minutes to adjust to a new light condition, which meant that it was pointless anyway, more annoying than anything…
Come on, the lack of light sensor in the new Touch is not a decline in quality. For one, the new iPod Touch has a flash for the camera, isn't that a good tradeoff?

I like the feel and heft of the 5 much better. That aside, more battery life is always a desiradata in its own right, so looking forward to advances in the tech, and feel the 5 is "thin enough," though knowing Apple over the years, their philosophy is the same as any fashion model's: "You can never be too light or too thin."

Guide to Using, Adjusting, Diagnosing & Fixing or Replacing Hot Water or Steam Radiator Control Valves & VentsArticle Contents
Traditional "Manual" Radiator ValvesRadiator valves are opened to allow hot water or steam to enter and heat a radiator, or closed to turn off or reduce heat output from the radiator. By "manual" radiator valve we mean that you have to turn the valve open or shut yourself. We discuss automatic (thermostatically controlled radiator valves and other radiator controls below. At above left is a top-fed two pipe steam radiator at Google Headquarters in New York City. If your heating system radiators won't get hot, for hot water radiators or convector heat, see COLD STEAM HEAT RADIATORS for help in diagnosing the problem. If your heat is provided by baseboards there will not normally be individual shutoff valves at those devices, but if your system uses one circulator and provides multiple heating zones (and thermostats) there will be zone control valves (usually near the boiler) that are opened or closed by the room thermostat(s). Cold heating baseboards are discussed Which Way to Turn the Radiator ValveIf your heat is provided by individual hot water radiators or convector units, usually there is a control valve at each radiator or convector. Make sure that the control valve at the heating radiator is "open" or "on". Usually turning a radiator valve "clockwise" or "down" closes the valve (turns the heat At COLD HOT WATER BASEBOARD / RADIATOR we include links to additional detailed articles that will help you correct a problem with heating baseboards or radiators that are not working: Check the radiator control valve: If a radiator is not getting hot: (steam or hot water) first see if the valve that controls it has been turned off. Try turning the valve counter-clockwise to see if it will open. In our photo (left), the heating convector control valve was found at floor-level under the heating convector. The "open" and "close" directions for this "radiator valve" were nicely marked by the manufacturer (click to enlarge the photo). If the radiator valve does not turn in that direction, try turning it in the other direction (clockwise or "closed") to see if the radiator valve is stuck. You may also find the same control valve at heating convectors (but not usually at heating baseboards). While people sometimes turn off radiators in an un-used portion of a building we usually find that most radiator valves have been left in the "on" position - in fact turning off a hot radiator in some building areas could lead to its freezing and cracking. Steam radiators, on the other hand, can usually be turned-off with impunity since steam radiators do not normally contain water in its liquid form. [That's true at least so long as condensate has not become trapped inside of the steam radiator.] How to Fix Stuck Heating Radiator ValvesWatch out: don't use excessive force to try to turn a "stuck" radiator valve. First, you may be trying to open a valve that is already in its fully-open position. Second, the valve may actually be jammed. Excessive force can break the valve or even cause a leak. If the valve won't turn at all counter-clockwise towards "open", try turning it the other way - clockwise, towards "closed". If the valve now turns you'll know it was already in its open position. Broken Radiator ValvesWatch out: even if the radiator valve appears to be "open" - that is, turned fully counter-clockwise, if the radiator valve stem is broken internally you may be just turning the knob but the valve may be staying closed inside. If your radiator valve turns too easily or if it does not appear to raise (opening) or lower (closing) when turning, and especially if turning the valve makes no difference in the behavior of the radiator, the valve stem may be broken. (First check for air bound radiators or if your heating system uses steam, check for a steam vent that is not opening.) Usually while turning a radiator valve to from "closed" to "open" position, if you look closely at the valve stem - the metal rod or shaft extending below the knob you are holding, and extending into the body of the valve itself - you'll see that as you "open" the valve the stem gets "longer" and often a less-oxidized, shiner part of the valve will become exposed as it moves upwards from having been inside the valve body. That's a great way to convince yourself that yes, the valve is probably opening internally too, you're not just turning the knob. If the valve body has broken loose from the valve stem, that's an internal problem you can't see, but turning the radiator valve knob, even if it rotates, will not open a broken, stuck, frozen valve. If only some of your hot water radiators, hot water heating convector units, or hot water baseboard heating sections are not getting hot and the radiator valve is open, See RADIATOR STEAM VENTS and also STEAM HEATING SYSTEMS for details. Types of Radiator Valves: Hot Water vs SteamHot Water Heat Radiator ValvesIn our photo at left you can see not only the radiator control valve, but lots more information: This radiator is being fed from the top. We know that this must be either a hot water radiator or a two pipe steam heat radiator. Now look closely at that air bleeder connector on the side of the radiator valve. From this detail we can conclude that this is a hot water heating system, not a steam heat system Hot water can enter a hot water (hydronic) heating radiator at the radiator top or bottom. Hot water radiators may have an air bleeder valve but never a steam vent valve. Steam can enter a steam heating radiator at the radiator top too (most but possibly not all two pipe steam heat systems) or also at the radiator bottom (one pipe steam heat systems). Steam Radiator Control ValvesIf your heating system uses steam radiators or steam convectors see First check the radiator valve. It's standard to ask first "is the radiator valve turned on or "open" (fully counter-clockwise)? But other problems can cause a steam heat radiator to stay cold when you want heat. If a steam radiator valve is open but the radiator is still cold, the steam vent may not be working. Our photo (above right) shows a typical steam radiator vent. See STEAM RADIATOR PIPING CONNECTIONS for an explanation of different types of steam piping and steam-radiator piping connections. Also see STEAM VENTS and Reader Question: where do steam pipes enter steam radiators: top, bottom, or both?I had a question about the article at RADIATOR VALVES & HEAT CONTROLS. I'm looking at the sub-section "Types of Radiator Valves: Hot Water vs. Steam" ... Photo at left: two pipe steam radiator fed from top right end. [Click to enlarge any image] I was trying to make sense of what was written - it must be hard to describe these hot water and steam heating systems. In some cases it seems that in fact steam DOES often enter a radiator at the top. At this point I am just lost. We don't have many residential systems with radiator systems (steam or hot water) so I am trying to educate myself but don't have anything in front of me to compare what I think I understand. Kind Regards, -Doug Reply: Up-feed - Down-feed, One-pipe - Two-Pipe Steam Piping & Radiators - What's the Difference?Doug, the other page (not at InspectApedia) that you gave provides information from Dan Holihan - probably the most-expert fellow alive when it comes to steam heating systems. Dan's text includes these two statements: Dan is right again. Most two-pipe steam heat systems will show up with the steam entering the radiator at one end at the radiator top (below left), and the condensate return will exit at the bottom of the radiator at its opposite end. [1][12][16][17] All one pipe steam radiators are fed with a pipe connection to the bottom of the radiator. In response to your question we have added an article to help clarify the different types of steam heat piping - to - radiator connections and where valves will occur. Please Hidden Manual Radiator Control Valves on Heating ConvectorsOn a heating convector unit there is usually an individual valve that lets the unit be turned down or off - but as our photo (left) shows, the valve can be a little harder to spot. Unlike a radiator valve, a heating convector control valve may be hidden by the convector's steel cover, or it may be little and hard to recognize as we show here. This valve, if it's not jammed by corrosion, is operated by a screw driver; it may be possible to get this valve working by gently loosening the lock-nut and then turning the control screw with a flat-bladed screwdriver. Do not take apart this valve while the heating system is on and hot - you risk getting sprayed with hot water or you may start a leak that's hard to stop without making a mess and having to shut down the whole heating system. How to Adjust or Control the Level of Heat From RadiatorsManually Setting the Radiator ValveOn hot water heating systems and two-pipe steam radiator heating systems you can adjust the radiator valve to:
If your hot water radiator is too hot or the room is too hot, you can partially-close the radiator valve. If your hot water radiator is too cold, be sure that the valve is open and that the radiator is not air bound. Details are If your steam radiator is too cold be sure that its supply valve is open. If it's a one pipe steam heat system (only one pipe comes to each radiator), be sure that the steam vent is working (you should hear it hissing when steam is rising in the system). Details are If you steam radiator is too hot in a two-pipe steam system, according to the U.S. DOE, If your steam heating system pipes are noisy There are additional methods for automatically controlling the heat output from individual heating radiators, for both steam and hot water heat: thermostatically controlled radiator valves and adjustable or thermostatically controlled steam vents. We discuss these controls beginning Reader Question: how to turn off un-wanted heat at a baseboard or radiatorMy husband and I just bought a 1948 built house and we think it has all original heaters. 2 rooms have the stand up style cast iron radiators. Our kitchen, dining, and bedroom have what we think are cast iron baseboard style heaters. They look a lot like, but are not exactly, the ones pictured here. [Click to enlarge any image] All of the above-mentioned rooms are all on the same heating zone. My question is, how do I shut off heat to only one of the rooms? I'd like to completely shut off the heat to my bedroom only. Can I safely do this without shutting off the heat to the other rooms? How do I find the valve to shut this room off? At this point the bedroom is our biggest waste of heat as we have to keep a window open in there to keep it from being insufferably hot, while the other rooms in that zone are still quite chilly. We have the thermostat set down to 50.
Reply: comparing baseboards & radiators: which ones have shut-off valves?Margo You can shut off heat to individual heating radiators such as the cast iron radiator shown at left by closing the individual radiator valve or by installing a thermostatically operated radiator valve such as those we illustrate just below. But your "radiators", if the photo you refer-to at above-left is correct, is a segment of cast iron baseboard. I know the terms are confusing but "baseboard" is generally a horizontal heating element placed (usually) close to the floor. Three cases of heating baseboard section control Automatic or Thermostatically Controlled Radiator Valves - TRVsThe radiator control valve opens or shuts to allow hot water or steam to enter and heat the radiator. An automatic or thermostatically controlled radiator valve allows you to set the desired room temperature. The automatic hot water or steam radiator valve, thermostatically controlled, will automagically open or close to attempt to control room temperature to the desired level. Keep in mind that with any heat control installed right at the radiator, the control will be sensing temperature in that location, not across the room, so some experimenting to find the best setting will be needed. Armstrong Corp. provides the RV-4 One-Pipe Steam Radiator Valve that operates as a room thermostat suitable for residential low-pressure steam heating systems. By installing a thermostatically controlled steam vent at each radiator, every radiator can be controlled or set to the desired temperature. There is a central advantage of thermostatically operated steam vents over swapping out the actual radiator control valve for a thermostatically controlled radiator valve, that is, they are easier and less disruptive to control. The original steam vent is simply unscrewed and the new thermostatically controllable steam vent is screwed in at the same location. Watch out: it's safer to install or change steam heating system parts when the system is not calling for heat and when the steam boiler and radiators are cold. Don't be fooled. If your heating system is on and the steam boiler is hot, unscrewing the steam vent on a "cold" steam radiator will allow steam to rise into the radiator (forcing air out of the steam vent opening) and you could be seriously burned by rising steam. Replacing Manual Radiator Valves with Thermostatically Controlled Radiator ValvesIf you have to replace the control valve on a hot water or steam radiator or convector unit, consider installing a new valve that incorporates a thermostat as well. Several companies provide thermostatically-controlled radiator valves including Armstrong, Danfoss, Hoffman Specialty, Jacobus (Maid'O'Mist) and others. The automatic radiator valve shown at left was observed on a typical modern European installation in Molde, Norway. This (more expensive) radiator control valve lets you treat each individual radiator as a "heating zone". As long as the room thermostat is calling for heat, each radiator can be regulated automatically when a thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) is installed.. Automatic or Thermostatically Controlled Steam VentsThis topic has been moved and consolidated at STEAM VENTS - home, where we discuss other steam vent problems such as spitting water, clogging, steam valves that do not open or close when they should, etc. At STEAM VENT TYPES, SELECTION we identify the different types of steam vents use on 1 pipe and 2 pipe steam systems. Choosing & Installing Adjustable or Thermostatically Controlled Steam Vents to Control Steam HeatThis text has moved Watch out: If the radiator continually makes noises (whistling or wheezing) at the steam vent, there is a problem that needs to be fixed: a bad steam vent, steam piping problem, steam pressure set too high, or boiler oversized for the heating distribution system. Watch out: to be sure your steam heating system and its controls are properly adjusted excessive steam pressure can be dangerous.

Question: steam vent won't close(Oct 24, 2011) Lisa said: Trying to figure out vent problem without calling plumber before heating season. Last season one room was totally ruined by steam and dining room seemed to have too much steam. New vents installed on radiators when new gas steam unit installed 6 years ago. Vents have #s on them. Should I put it on lower #? Reply:Lisa i would need to see a photo of your steam vent or know the brand and model number to be specific. But if you have steam vents that never shut off when the radiator is hot, and if adjusting the vent doesn't solve the problem it sounds as if the vent needs to be replaced. . A properly operating steam vent will stop venting air (and a little steam) when it gets hot. See STEAM VENTS - home Question: can't get air vent valve out of the old radiator(Sept 20, 2012) donna said: We just bought an old home and the one rooms radiator air value must be broken so I can't put another in how Reply:Donna The options are to try a bolt extractor to remove the broken part or to drill out the broken part and tap new threads in the drilled hole. Then to reduce the enlarged threaded opening to a standard air bleed valve NPT size you may find a helix insert at an auto or plumbing supplier. See STEAM RADIATOR VENT REPAIR Question: removed two pipe steam radiators - want to turn on heat(Oct 10, 2012) Mike said: I am currently renovating a room in my house and I removed two two-pipe system radiators. I am not ready to re-install them yet but I would like to turn the heat on. Will shutting off the valves be enough or will I need to cap off the traps as well? Reply:Heat will work in the other radiators provided they are not fed by the pipes you close off and that their return condensate lines are similarly not interrupted. You'll need to follow the steam piping to make a sketch for yourself to see that this is the case. Question: wants to buy adjustable thermostatically operated steam vents(Oct 11, 2012) Anonymous said: Can you please tell me where I can buy the Adjustable Thermostatically-operated steam vents? Reply:Sure. Several companies provide thermostatically-controlled radiator valves including Armstrong, Danfoss, Hoffman Specialty, Jacobus (Maid'O'Mist) and others. The automatic radiator valve shown at left was observed on a typical modern European installation in Molde, Norway. See GUIDE TO CHOOSING & INSTALLING STEAM VENTS Question: convector radiator valve leaks at screwdriver adjustment point(Nov 20, 2012) Brent Hoffman said: On my hidden manual convector control valve, how or can i clean and repair it so i can adjust flow with out it leaking at the screwdriver adjustment point. The last time I tried to increase the flow by turning the adjustment screw, I almost didn't get it to stop leaking. Is it like a faucet that I can open and get replacement parts to repair and rebuild? If so, if I lower the expansion tank pressure noting the current pressure first, will that allow me to repair the valve with out loosing water? If i loose water in my convector boiler system, how do I refill and know when it is full. Each one of my convectors feed from a 1/2 service line with a 3/8 feed line to the convector and return through a 3/8 to a 1/2 return line, i do not have a series system loop. Reply:Brent, it is sometimes possible to disassemble and clean up the small screwdriver-operated valve you describe but I've not had much luck with that approach. With heat off and pressure off of your system, remove the old valve, take it to your heating supplier and buy a replacement - they're not expensive and you'll actually save time and trouble as well as money. Question: heat won't turn off(Nov 28, 2012) Aimee said: Hi there, i really need some help . My radiator is really hot even though i already turn off the switch. Are there anything wrong ? If some thing wrong , please let me know ? thank you so much . Reply:Aimee a hot water or steam radiator will continue to radiate heat for a time even after the thermostat stops calling for heat. That's normal. If the radiator never turns off then the call for heat is not turning off. In that case Question: strange boiler noise and no heat(Nov 29, 2012) Sof said: Hi,I had some painters over to decorate and they turned off the radiators so the wallpaper wouldn't shrink whilst drying. Normally, to turn the heating on I just push the 'On' switch on my boiler. Now though, by doing so the boiler makes a bit of a strange noise. The water stays freezing cold and the radiators wont heat up even though I've pushed the 'On' button. This means that the builders turned the heating OFF elsewhere to ensure I don't turn it on. Now my house is freezing and the water's too cold to was up or have a shower. What could I do? Reply:Sof there is a more basic problem than at the radiators - see NO HEAT - BOILER for a sequence of things to check. Question: steam enters at top of some steam radiators(Jan 5, 2013) Caroline said: Hello, I just wanted to inform you that you need to correct the information on your site. This section: Types of Radiator Valves: Hot Water vs Steam and the the statement "because first, the valve is mounted at the top of the radiator (water, not steam - steam enters at a radiator bottom but sometimes so does not water; the reverse is never true" is not correct. We have a two pipe steam radiator system and the valve is mounted just as shown in this picture - so our steam does enter from the top of the radiator. Reply:Thank you Caroline, we've reviewed and clarified the text on this point. Question: radiators don't get hot unless I remove the steam vent(Jan 7, 2013) Cesar said: We have two radiators that don't heat up unless I remove the steam valve. When I unscrew it a blast of air comes out and it starts to heat up. We figured the valves were clogged but they're not because when we screw them back on we can hear steam hissing out. My question is this: why doesn't it release the steam all on its own? why do I have to remove the steam release valve in order to get it going? Reply:Cesar: The steam vents on those two cold radiators are not working as they should. Take them to your heating supplier and buy new equivalent replacement units and your radiators should work perfectly again. See STEAM RADIATOR VENT REPAIR Question: different steam vent locations on one pipe versus two pipe steam systems(July 12, 2014) Jerry said: I have a few questions on one and two pipe steam systems. On one pipe systems, why is the steam vent located down low on the radiator and not high up like on hot water radiator systems. What would happen if it was located high. My question on two pipe steam systems is why no vent is needed on radiator? What would be the result if one was installed? Reply:Interesting questions In a hot water radiator the air will be just at the top of the radiator so we put the air bleeder there. In a steam system the whole radiator is filled with air when cool and is vented automatically by a steam vent placed to vent rapidly and to close at an appropriate time as steam enters and the radiator becomes hot. Placing the steam vent at rad top may lead to overheating. That may explain why usually on steam radiators the vent is on the radiator side. If you see a working 2 pipe steam system without a steam vent the air along with condensate must be vented via the return line. I do not agree that vents are unnecessary on either system type. If there were no way to push air out of a cold steam radiator then the steam won't enter it and the radiator won't get hot - you'll have cold steam radiators and shivering pets. Question: one of my radiators won't get hot, what should I do?(Dec 6, 2014) chris said: Reply:Chris If your radiators are hot water (hydronic) and not steam, then try bleeding air out of the radiator. See details at COLD HOT WATER RADIATOR or BASEBOARD Readers with steam radiators that won't heat up should see COLD STEAM HEAT RADIATORS Question: what to do about an air valve leak and occasional water droplets at a steam radiator(Jan 1, 2015) Anthony said: Reply:Not all steam vents are equally noisy, but when heating up from a cold condition I would expect some air discharge from the vent. If there is no air venting at all from a steam radiator vent then the vent may not be properly set or it may be the wrong model. Question: tepid radiators on third floor (Jan 4, 2015) Anonymous said: Reply:Anon I am doubtful that draining further water at the cool radiators will help because I suspect that there is an air blockage in the piping between the hot radiators and the cool ones. Rather, if there are not other air bleeders in locations that release that trapped air you may need to use one of the more aggressive measures: See AIR-BOUND HEATING SYSTEMS for steps in diagnosing and repairing this problem Also for tall buildings, consider that the boiler pressure could be slightly too low see HEATING BOILER PRESSURE & TEMPERATURE SETTINGS, CONTROLS Question: steam radiator doesn't get hot(Jan 10, 2015) Anonymous said: I have a 75 year old steam system and one radiator doesn't get hot. It gets warm only at the end of a heating cycle. I put a new release valve on it. No help. I can easily turn the radiator control valve open and closed and I see the stem below the knob rising and falling as I do that. Despite this appearance, can the valve inside be stuck in a partially open position? Reply:Anon If the new steam vent didn't fix the cold radiator, 1 the radiator valve could be broken internally so that even if the stem rises the gate does not open properly - this is particularly true with gate valves Valve types are illustrated at PLUMBING CONTROLS & VALVES 2. the radiator condensate return could be rust clogged or otherwise blocked (condensate is not draining out of the radiator) See COLD STEAM HEAT RADIATORS for detailed cold steam radiator diagnosis and repair help. (Jan 14, 2015) Anonymous said: Thanks for the reply DanJoe. When I changed the vent (I put a 6) I noticed the radiator was slightly tilted the wrong way. I adjusted it to tilt a little towards the valve. I have other radiators in the house that have always been tilted wrong yet they heat up fine and I leave well enough alone on those. After two days the problem radiator seems to be getting a little warmer at the end of each cycle. I'm going to wait a couple more days and see. I guess it could be clogged like you said with rust and the steam may hopefully clear it out. I really hope that's the case because I don't want to remove this radiator. It's pretty heavy and wedged in and I think it'll be a pain to do. Reply: If steam is entering the radiator you'll usually know it by hearing the steam vent operate. Question: how to (ball-park) select air-vents on a multi-story 1 pipe steam system(Jan 15, 2015) Larry said: Sorry not sure if psi (absolute) or psi (gauge), but since steam can exit the system I assume it is called psig. Reply:Larry, I can't reliably design for your steam system by e-texting. I'd simply give a local supplier (who sells steam vents) a call to ask for their technical expert - describe your building, steam system., heights, operating pressures, volumes, and she or he can recommend vent models for you . If you can't find a local expert call one of the vent companies we list directly. They know their products in exquisite detail. (Jan 15, 2015) Larry said: Larry we do appreciate questions - they help us know where to research and provide more information. But sometimes a thoughtfully-succinct question leaves me worried that we know so little that we might give dangerous advice. I should have pointed you to our summary of steam vent sizes, choices, selection guidelines in the Steam vent capacity and features are summarized in tables we give at STEAM VENT TYPES, SELECTION but frankly it was late at night when I replied before and I just forgot. ...

Santa Anita: Slim Shadey keeping it (relatively) short this year
ARCADIA, Calif. – The days of racing at 1 1/2 miles are over for Slim Shadey, a two-time stakes winner in 2012.
For 2013, Slim Shadey will be kept to races at 1 1/8 miles and 1 1/4 miles on turf, beginning with Sunday's $150,000 San Gabriel Stakes over 1 1/8 miles at Santa Anita.
"I think the distance is slightly better for him," trainer Simon Callaghan said. "He's training really well for this race."
Last year, Slim Shadey, 5, ran in turf races from a mile to 1 1/2 miles. He won two Grade 2 stakes at 1 1/4 miles here – the San Marcos Stakes in February and the John Henry Turf Championship in September. A gelding owned by Phil Cunningham, Slim Shadey raced at 1 1/2 miles in his final two starts of 2012, finishing eighth in the Breeders' Cup Turf at Santa Anita on Nov. 3, and fourth in the Grade 2 Hollywood Turf Cup at Betfair Hollywood Park on Dec. 15.
Callaghan said that in the BC Turf "the competition was too good."
In the Hollywood Turf Cup, Slim Shadey led into the stretch before finishing 4 1/4 lengths behind the winner, Grandeur.
"We wanted to conclusively know for sure," he said of the distance. "We can't have any complaints. He went sensible fractions and didn't see the distance out."
The San Gabriel is a race that Slim Shadey can win. He must beat the speedy Chosen Miracle, who is running in the longest race of his career, and Jeranimo, the winner of the Grade 1 Shoemaker Mile at Hollywood Park last June.
Callaghan said the race is a prep for the $150,000 San Marcos Stakes on Feb. 9.
"Looking at the competition, it's a pretty good spot," he said. "I think he'll go with a really good chance.
"It's essentially a building block, but it's a good spot. There is no standout."

Hey everyone!
My friend in the UK wants to pre-purchase Guild Wars 2 and get into the next beta, but currently has a bit of sticker shock. Apparently it shows up as £49.99 on buy.guildwars2.com for him (and my friend in Israel is seeing it for €54.99). This is, of course, a ridiculously high price in both of our opinions (I got the game for $59.99 US and I'm in Australia - so about 58AU at the time).
What did you euro guys pay for the game? Did you find it for less (and still get into the beta events)? Where?
Any help would be appreciated.

Kill 4 Dread Kunchong and 6 Shek'zeer Manipulators in the Clutches of Shek'zeer. The Sonic Disruption Fork will weaken and confuse the kunchong.
- Kill Dread Kunchong × 4
- Kill Shek'zeer Manipulator × 6
- Sonic Disruption Fork (Provided)
Relying on sonic whispers to manipulate the kunchong was only the most primitive stage of my research, and yet the Empire seems to have adopted the practice wholly. The manipulators of the Shek'zeer are too impatient to form a proper bond with their kunchong.
Their laziness will cost them dearly.
Strike this tuning fork near the dread kunchong in the clutches - watch as they reel in confusion and lash out at their masters. Use this to your advantage and put them down.
You will receive:

Peruvian Pathways, January 2014
Anna Wilson
There was some initial confusion due to the merger of Intrepid and Peregrine tour including our trip notes say the pre-tour meeting was at 2pm but we arrived back at the hotel at 1.40 and the meeting had started at 1pm. The Peregrine trip notes included a City Tour of Lima when Intrepid's didn't and the Intrepid trip notes included a dinner on the first night but Peregrine didn't. It would have been good if we had been provided with information and maps etc about the places we were visiting and hotels we were staying (we were given this useful information at the pre-tour on the other intrepid tour that we did) and if we were provided with briefings about the what to expect for the next few days as we were often only given info when we asked questions.

NFL Injury Report
Last updated 11/20/14
Houston Texans linebacker Brooks Reed will return from a
groin injury today against the Minnesota Vikings, reports John McClain of The
Houston Chronicle.
Outside linebacker Brooks Reed said after practice Thursday
he's 100 percent and ready to go. He missed three games with a groin injury
that had been bothering him before it sidelined him in the victory at Detroit
on Nov. 22.
"It felt really good," he said. "I don't see myself
re-hurting it. I think it's even better than it was before I hurt it."
Reed is one of 17 players listed as probable to play against
the Vikings. His return will mark his first appearance in a game since Nov. 22.
Cornerback Alan Ball, who's dealing with a foot injury, is

You know those annoying people who are always posting photos of their food on Instagram? People are also doing that with their Big Macs.
John Travolta phoned up a KFC in England and asked to reserve a table. Here is an awesome quote from the employee who turned him down. Why is John Travolta eating at KFC? What kind of human being calls to reserve a table at KFC? Why does England have KFC? I don't care. This anonymous employee is now a folk hero who is a much better spokesperson for the 99% than Occupy Wall Street.

Ryan Hunter-Reay Replaces Bruno Junqueira In Indy 500 In Sponsor-Driven Move
Published May 24, 2011
DOLLARS AND SENSE? IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard said, "For me, as a property, we have a fantastic sponsor in DHL and Sun Drop. We also have A.J. who went out and put Bruno in the field out of his own pocket. If this deal helps A.J. financially and keeps Ryan's sponsors happy, I'm all for it. For the long-term health of the sport, to have DHL and Sun Drop and A.J. to benefit from this, that helps the series. From a credibility standpoint, I don't think this hurts when you look at it from that perspective." Driver Tony Kanaan said, "You're talking about a one-off race for Bruno, and you're talking about a full-time guy like RHR with a big sponsor that's new, and it would be a big loss if he wasn't driving in the race. It's the biggest race of the year. You gotta look at the big picture." But driver Paul Tracy referred to the move as "checkbook bumping." Tracy: "It stinks and it shouldn't be allowed" (SPEEDTV.com, 5/23).
BAD MOVE ALL AROUND: In Indianapolis, Bob Kravitz writes under the header, "Foyt, Andretti Should Be Ashamed Of Themselves." Kravitz: "Michael Andretti, the man who engineered this swap, should be embarrassed. Foyt, who took the cash and told his driver to take a hike, should be embarrassed. Randy Bernard, the IndyCar Series CEO, should be embarrassed. ... I understand that money talks and sponsors matter, especially in this sport. But we're talking about a spot on the most prized grid in motor sports." Kravitz adds, "This is shameful, especially shameful given the fact it involves two of the greatest names -- Andretti and Foyt -- in the 102-year history of Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It also sets a very dangerous precedent" (INDIANAPOLIS STAR, 5/24).

CIVA Rules Proposal Package Now Available
Tuesday, 03 July 2012 15:02
The deadline for the submission of rules proposals for 2013 has now passed and the proposals have been assembled into one file, available for download on our "Documents" page under "Meetings" and "2012" or going direct to <File missing>.

World YAK52 Aerobatic Championships Results Final
Friday, 29 June 2012 17:37
The 3rd FAI World Yak-52 Aerobatic Championships concluded in Russia yesterday, the 28th of June, with the completion of the last 2nd Free Unknown flight. The competition was held at Airfield Finam (Bolshoe Gryzlovo), Serpukhov region. Twenty-three pilots competed in the Championships. The new World Yak-52 Aerobatic Champion is Vladimir Kotelnikov of Russia. In recent years, he has been very active in judging FAI Aerobatic Championships at both the Continental and World level. But he is equally skilled as a pilot and put those skills to good use against a wide variety of Yak pilots. Russia also captured the Team prize with Belarus in second and Lithuania in third place. Closing ceremonies and awards-givings will be on Saturday, the 30th of June. Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to our friends in Russia for an outstanding organization. Detailed results can be found at www.civa-results.com. World YAK52 Aerobatic Championships Underway in Russia
Monday, 25 June 2012 16:01
The 3rd FAI World YAK-52 Aerobatic Championships opened on Saturday, the 23rd of June and is now underway in Russia. The even is being held in Bolshoe Gryzlovo and has attracted 23 pilots representing seven countries. The event is relatively new to CIVA and is restricted to the well-known YAK-52 aircraft, a two-seat aerobatic trainer, that was buillt in the thousands during the Soviet era. It is a rugged trainer that remains popular today and is seen in aviation events around the world. The Championships website can be visited here. Results are available now from that site. The photo below features an aerobatic team which performed during the Opening Ceremonies of the Championships. The competition ends on the 30th of June. WAC 2013 to be Held in New Location
Wednesday, 16 May 2012 19:38
The location of the 27th FAI World Aerobatic Championships, to be held in the USA, has been changed.
The USA's bid for the Championships originally included the site of the airport in Jean, Nevada, near Las Vegas. That airport is no longer available for the Championships.
WAC will now be held at the North Texas Regional Airport in Sherman/Denison, Texas (ICAO: KGYI). The airport has been the site of the US National Aerobatic Championships almost continuously since 1972. Formerly the Perrin Air Force Base, the airport features large runways, ramps, and hangars and has been an excellent site for aerobatic competitions since the military closed their operations there in 1971.
Contest Director will be Chris Rudd. Many of the Americans active in organizing regional competitions and the US Nationals will be working in the contest organization. Dates remain the same: 9-20 October 2013.
For those who attended the 2010 CIVA plenary meeting in Oberhausen, Germany, this site will be familiar as the USA had proposed WAC 2011 be held there. Additional details will be provided in due course and the final report on the preparations for the WAC will be made at the CIVA plenary meeting in Lausanne in November.
Aresti Cup returns to Spain
Thursday, 26 April 2012 19:44
The Aresti Cup -- the famous trophy that is awarded to the World Aerobatic Champion (Unlimited Power category) -- arrived back in Spain on 2 April 2012 for a full restoration. The Cup was donated to the FAI in the early 1960's and has been awarded to the World Champion ever since. A magnificent piece of artwork, it is one of air sports' most valuable and recognized awards. During these past five decades, it has usually gone home with the winner and has suffered from wear and tear due to its extensive travels over these many years. The President of the Royal Aero Club of Spain, Jose Luis Olias, proposed that it come back to Spain so it could be restored to its former glory and beauty. President Olias also created a new traveling trophy that is a replica of the Aresti Cup, though considerably smaller, complete with travel case. This replica will be presented to future winners of the Cup and the original Aresti Cup will reside in various museums in the years ahead so it may be viewed and enjoyed by air sports enthusiasts throughout the world. The Cup has been in France for over two years after Renaud Ecalle brought it home from Silverstone, United Kingdom, after his victory at the World Championships in 2009. In the photo that accompanies this article, the Cup can be seen as it was in late 1975. Pictured are Charlie Hillard, 1972 World Aerobatic Champion (shown right), who won the Cup at the Championships in Salon de Provence, France. Looking on is Johnny Rutherford, famous race car driver who also is a pilot himself. Judges Selection for 2012 FAI Aerobatic Championships
Tuesday, 24 April 2012 18:44

All CIVA Officials for the upcoming aerobatic season are now in place. It will be a very busy year for the many volunteers who make the Championships possible. Four FAI Aerobatic Championships are now scheduled: The World Advanced Aerobatic Championships in Hungary; the World Glider Aerobatic Championships in Slovakia; the World YAK52 Aerobatic Championships in Russia; and the European Aerobatic Championships in Slovakia.

Please note that the 2012-2 version of Part 1 was posted on 9 February 2012 to correct small errors. Previous versions are obsolete. FAI Silver Medal Presented to Mike Heuer
Thursday, 05 January 2012 20:45
CIVA President Mike Heuer has been awarded the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale's Silver Medal. The Medal was formally presented to Mike at the opening ceremonies for the FAI Aerobatic Commission's plenary meeting in Krakow, Poland on November 4, 2011. Mike is shown at left below with the FAI Secretary General, Jean-Marc Badan, making the presentation. According to FAI, "The Medal is reserved for persons who have occupied high office in FAI or in an aeronautical organisation in one of its member countries, and in the discharge of their duties have shown exceptional powers of leadership and influence, to the benefit of the whole international air sport community." The citation for the award reads as follows: "Mike Heuer's career in air sports began in 1968 when he flew his first aerobatic competition. As a leader in the aerobatic world, he was a founding member of IAC (the American aerobatic organization), its President for 9 years and member of its Board for 37 years. He became the USA Delegate to CIVA in 1984. In 1986, he was elected President of the FAI Aerobatics Commission (CIVA) and remains in office to this day. Presiding over more International Juries at World and Continental Championships than any other person, he has guided the growth of aerobatics in FAI. During his administration, power and glider aerobatics have matured and different categories exist with more pilots participating in FAI Aerobatic Championships than ever before. Recognized as an effective leader in international aerobatics, he had an enormous influence on its development during the past four decades, benefiting pilots around the world. A former member of the FAI Executive Board and the NAA and EAA Boards of Directors, he has received dozens of awards including the FAI's Paul Tissandier Diploma. He was inducted into the Aerobatics Hall of Fame in 2001 and was President of the International Air Sports Board at the 3rd World Air Games. An airline pilot for almost 30 years, he is now retired and devotes all his time to FAI and CIVA. It is appropriate and fitting that Mike Heuer be awarded the FAI Silver Medal during the 25th anniversary year of his Presidency of CIVA." More Articles...

Make Weekly Tournament open for ALL PLAYERS!
Finally! Now I can re-upgrade some of my downgraded karts again. I REALLY look forward to having my Wall Magnet back!
If there's one MAJOR thing to point out for this app, though, it's that there's downside to the Weekly Tournament. Players have to connect to Facebook in order to play the Weekly Tournament because if players press "Later", they are taken back to the episode selection screen. Can you please update the app so non-facebook players can play the Weekly Tournament again without having to conect to facebook, please?
I also only wish that I I can have some of my karts back without purchasing them with gems. These particular karts are.
Rocky Road: Punch Box > Cap-ster
Air: Tub Thumper > Soapy Slider
Stunt: Point Breaker > Weaver XT
So Rovio, can you make all the karts and upgrades purchaseable with Bird Coins from now on, please? Variety IS important because more unlocked karts mean more variety.
As for the gems and Telepods, the gems could be used to purchase something else, and the Telepods can not only temporarily unlock karts, but let you do Telepod Challenges (like in Angry Birds Transformers), too.
Are you crazy? Dont update or u will loose progress.
What you have done this update is close to robbing someone. I am sure other players have seen this issue by now too, but this is the most ridiculous thing that has ever occurred to me. All my progress on 3 level packs is gone, including the cars. I purchased the most expensive ones, i was able to purchase with gold,but now they cost gems and all my gold, i used on those carts is gone. This is so crazy. U better fix this because i am sure, people who purchased i app in this game and now lost their carts are now able to bring this to trial if they cant get their money back otherwise. I am so disappointed, i will never play this game again until I get my progress back. Shame on you Rovio, i always though you were better than the other app producers like Gameloft and EA, but it seems like i was wrong.
New Track!
I've been thinking of this for quite some time now, it's about time that Angry Birds Go! gets a new track....
Splash could be a water-themed track, with boats and submarines that allow water travel
Ideas for the Track:
Pontoon kart
Steamboat kart
Titanic kart (with boat horn!)
Submarine kart
Fish kart
Shark kart
Pirate Ship kart
Mermaid kart
one of the tracks to have you drive up a waterfall
Online stabability
New Obstacles
one of the tracks to allow you to descend down a underwater trench, getting darker and darker as you go down
one of the tracks that allows you to go through pipes
New characters:
Chef Pig #
Ice Bird #
Minion Pig
El Porkador#
Piggy McCool (Pig in the Blue Bird costume)*
Space Red#*
Transformers Red (head only)#*
the Eggs (in the Nest) #*
Proffesser Pig
(#= someone that REALLY should be playable)
(*= someone that should be a purchasable limited-time character)
+ make Gems appear more often (during Races)
Please could you make this possible Rovio? :)
