August 2012 Issue
In this issue:
IDEXX announces that its Colilert®-18/Quanti-Tray® test becomes the new International Organization for Standardization (ISO) worldwide standard for detecting total coliforms and E. coli in water. The Organization has withdrawn ISO 9308-2:1990, which follows the multiple tube (most probable number) method, and replaced it with ISO 9308-2:2012 using the Colilert-18/Quanti-Tray method.
This change is the result of a standard revision process that has taken place over the past three years. The ISO revision process is led by an international committee comprised of scientific, industrial and business sector experts who regularly review current ISO methods and make recommendations for updates and improvements.
"ISO is considered the gold standard for quality around the world, ensuring that products, services and processes are safe and reliable," says Manja Blazer, PhD, Senior Government Affairs Manager, IDEXX Water. "With its publication as an ISO standard, the Colilert-18/Quanti-Tray method achieves additional global recognition for easy, rapid and accurate detection of coliforms and E. coli in water."
ISO 9308-2:2012, based on Colilert-18/Quanti-Tray, is the first ISO standard to use the new ISO definition of coliforms/E. coli (expression of β-galactosidase and β-glucuronidase). It is also the first ISO standard to have been validated using ISO/TR 13843 guidance on validation of microbiological methods.
IDEXX Colilert-18/Quanti-Tray has been extensively validated to detect total coliforms and E. coli in water with quantified results in as few as 18 hours, and with no further confirmation of results required. Combining a simplified testing process with innovative IDEXX technology, the Colilert-18/Quanti-Tray method delivers accurate results that allow laboratories to make confident health and safety decisions more quickly than traditional methods.
For more information about the IDEXX Colilert-18/Quanti-Tray method, please contact your local IDEXX representative or visit our website for more information.
With the June 13, 2012, launch of IDEXX-QC in Europe, our complete line of microbiology and chemistry quality control (QC) products is now available to customers worldwide. Customers in North America can also benefit from our suite of microbiology proficiency testing (PT) services. The IDEXX-QC and PT portfolio includes:

IDEXX Colilert®-18/Quanti-Tray®/2000 recently received validation from AFNOR Certification for the testing of bathing water (fresh water and sea water). The certifying body of AFNOR, the French Organization for Standardization, is governed by the European standard EN 45011. Colilert-18 is the only method worldwide validated by AFNOR Certification for both drinking water (granted in 2009) and bathing water.
AFNOR NF VALIDATION certifies the comparable analytical performance of Colilert-18 and standard methods. The NF validation was granted on the basis of an independent study involving 15 laboratories. The study concluded that the Colilert®-18/Quanti-Tray®/2000 system for quantification is statistically equivalent to the reference ISO 9308-3 method. A key difference is that with the Colilert-18 method results are confirmed in 18 hours rather than the 48 to 72 hours required for the reference method.
"Municipalities, laboratories and utilities described Colilert-18 as reliable, easy to implement, easy to read and very fast," said Philippe Rousselin, PhD, EMEA regulatory manager for IDEXX Laboratories. "In particular, the efficiency allows bathing water managers to ensure active management of their bathing areas and to act quickly in the event of contamination."
The Colilert-18/Quanti-Tray quantitative method has already been approved by more than 40 countries worldwide. Recognized as an alternative method for testing of drinking water by the European Directive 98/83/EC, it is already used by 19 European countries, including Belgium, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom. The Colilert-18/Quanti-Tray method is also recognized as the official method for the control of bathing water in Italy and Sweden.

The New Jersey (NJ) Department of Health has granted Pseudalert® a waiver approval under the Public Recreational Bathing Water rule for the compliance testing of spas and hot tubs. What's more, the NJ Department of Environmental Protection now lists Pseudalert as a Department Sanctioned Analytical Method (DSAM) for compliance testing of hot tubs and spas. Customers in New Jersey and surrounding states have been sent a letter announcing both approvals.
Pseudalert can be used for presence/absence detection or with the Quanti-Tray/Quanti-Tray 2000 system for most probable number (MPN) enumeration. Detecting P. aeruginosa in 1 cfu in either 100-mL or 250-mL samples, Pseudalert gives customers results within 24 hours for noncarbonated-water samples and within 26 hours for carbonated-water samples.
Call 1-800-321-0207 or visit our website to learn more.
On April 12, 2012, Enterolert®-DW/Quanti-Tray® was approved by Umweltbundesamt (UBA) for the detection of enterococci bacteria in drinking water throughout Germany. European regulations require testing drinking water for enterococci, coliforms and E. coli, as all indicate possible water contamination that could pose a health risk to humans.
Exceeding both the speed and accuracy of conventional testing methods, the Enterolert-DW test detects and quantifies enterococci in 24 hours to give water-testing laboratories faster results for compliance testing. Enterolert-DW helps water-testing laboratories and utilities make health and safety decisions more quickly and confidently.
The conventional "Slanetz and Bartley" method (ISO 7899-2) requires a technician to filter the water through a membrane, place the membrane on an agar plate to grow the bacteria for 2 days, transfer the membrane to another agar plate for confirmation and then count bacterial colonies. With ready-to-use reagents and requiring only 1 minute of hands-on time, Enterolert-DW is easier to use than the conventional method.
What's more, Enterolert-DW and the popular IDEXX Colilert®-18/Quanti-Tray® test method for coliforms and E. coli use the same platform. That means laboratories and public utilities can use a single platform to test drinking water for all key microorganisms and get accurate, complete results in just 24 hours.

The Quanti-Tray® platform consists of two tray formats: the 51-well Quanti-Tray and the 97-well Quanti-Tray/2000. These trays have the versatility to be used with any IDEXX 100-mL product. Both tray formats include an overflow well at the top of the tray. The well captures excess sample/media, preventing it from spilling out of the tray and is counted as a large well for reporting purposes. The overflow well is visible in both the Quanti-Tray and Quanti-Tray/2000 MPN tables.
IDEXX water products have more than 110 product approvals around the world!

Intelligent brains grow differently
The general pattern of maturation, they report in Nature today, is that the cortex grows thicker as the child ages and then thins out. The cause of the changes is unknown, because the imaging process cannot see down to the level of individual neurons.Link
But basically the brain seems to be rewiring itself as it matures, with the thinning of the cortex reflecting a pruning of redundant connections....
One interpretation, (National Institute of Mental Health scientist Judith) Rapoport said, is that the brains of highly intelligent children are more plastic or changeable, swinging through a higher trajectory of cortical thickening and thinning than occurs in average children. The scans show the "sculpturing or fine tuning of parts of the cortex which support higher level thought, and maybe this is happening more efficiently in the most intelligent children," (researcher Philip) Shaw said..
I.Q. scores and measuring intelligence have long been controversial. Brain-imaging studies by Dr. Thompson and the study group have advanced the field by identifying physical features of the brain that correlate with I.Q.

Report: US to test 700-ton explosive in Nevada this June
The Pentagon plans to detonate 700 tons of conventional high explosives in Nevada in a June 2 test designed to gauge the effectiveness of weapons against deeply buried targets, officials said on March 30.Link to Reuters item via DefenseNews.com. (Thanks, John Parres!)
"I don't want to sound glib here, but it's the first time in Nevada that you'll see a mushroom cloud over Las Vegas since we stopped testing nuclear weapons," James Tegnelia, director of the Pentagon's Defense Threat Reduction Agency, told a small group of reporters.
The test, dubbed "Divine Strake," is sponsored by Tegnelia's agency and is set to be conducted at the Energy Department's Nevada Test Site in Nye County, about 65 miles (105 km) northwest of Las Vegas.
A cursory Google search for "Divine Strake" yields some interesting docs. Link: cover from a 1950's atomic kitsch comic, via ep.tc.

Women with boob jobs banned from zero-G (DEBUNKED)
This may be the first time in history that Sir Richard Branson has gazed unfavorably on a pair of supersized tits. According to that stalwart of truth and accuracy in reporting, the Sun, women who've had breast augmentation surgery may be banned from Virgin Galactic flights over fears their implants may explode in microgravity.
Cabin pressures on parabolic flights and in space flights are lower than on regular airplane flights. Snip:
More than 157 people have paid $200,000 each to zoom 400,000 feet above Earth on the Virgin Galactic space "shuttle." Spokesman Will Whitehorn said yesterday that the trip would be safe for 80 percent of people.
(Ed note: Wait, does that mean Whitehorn believes 20% of Virgin Galactic clientele have fake tits?)
He told London's Sun newspaper: "We've discovered there may well be issues with breast augmentation. We're not sure whether they could stand the trip -- they could well explode."
Link to Sun story, and here's a related item on SCENTA blog. (via LAFuturists, thanks John Smart and John Spencer).

Prayer won't heal ya
The patients in the study at six U.S. hospitals included 604 who were actually prayed for after being told they might or might not be; another 597 patients who were not prayed for after being told they might or might not be; and a group of 601 who were prayed for and told they would be the subject of such prayer.Link to Reuters article, Link to the paper in the American Heart Journal (Thanks, Jason Tester!)
The praying was done by members of three Christian groups in monasteries and elsewhere -- two Catholic and one Protestant -- who were given written prayers and the first name and initial of the last name of the prayer subjects. The prayers started on the eve of or day of surgery and lasted for two weeks.
Among the first group -- who were prayed for but only told they might be -- 52 percent had post-surgical complications compared to 51 percent in the second group, the ones who were not prayed for though told they might be. In the third group, who knew they were being prayed for, 59 percent had complications.
After 30 days, however, the death rates and incidence of major complications was about the same across all three groups, said the study...
UPDATE: My brother Mark best summarized what several readers have pointed out: "Maybe they were praying to the wrong god!"

Weak debut for ex-Disney chairman Eisner's talk show
I think he should have started a video blog, instead. I'd subscribe to his RSS feed. I think he'd have no trouble attracting many times more visitors in that medium.
Eisner interviewed former Imagineering head and Applied Minds cofounder Bran Ferren during Tuesday's debut -- that's really interesting stuff, IMO. I might not stop my life to sit in front of a tv set at 6/9PM on a Tuesday night to watch the show every week, but I wouldn't miss a download. Link to Reuters article.
Also, CNBC effectively has no web presence. CNBC.com redirects to moneycentral.msn.com, which doesn't include any teaser content for network shows. I can't find any online promotion for Eisner's show (or others) anywhere, period. <shrugs>.. Okay, here's the recently-launched CNBC site -- it's pretty thin, though. With such vast resources of financial data through MSN at their disposal, I don't understand why this isn't a lot more content-rich. Image: screengrab from video at MSNBC.com.

The ear wax cleaning madness must stop, says reader
Oh for god's sake, this has gone on long enough.Read a new comment by clicking on "More."
Ear wax is there for a reason. It has antibacterial properties as well as preventing dirt and bugs from going further into your hearing system. Excess earwax is pushed naturally to the opening of the ear canal, where it is washed away, pushed out as the cerumen glands secrete more wax and also by epithelial migration as your skin goes through its replacement cycle.
From the Mayo Clinic: "Never attempt to dig out excessive or hardened earwax with items such as a paper clip, a cotton swab or a hairpin. You may push the wax farther into your ear and cause serious damage to the lining of your ear canal and even to your eardrum." Wanna go deaf? Stick a bobby pin in your ear. See herefor what it looks like when you've been packing that stuff in for a while.
Even if you don't do that, simply scratching or abrading the skin in the ear canal provides a protected growth site for fungus -- the dreaded swimmer's ear. I had this once when psoriasis broke up the skin in my ear. You don't want it. Also, removal of impacted ear wax, from pushing it further down in the ear, is inevitably very painful.
Now there are a VERY FEW people who have excessive wax secretions and need to have it cleaned out every now and again. The solution to that is a few drops of mineral oil to soften up the wax and, a day or two later, a bit of warm water or hydrogen peroxide squirted up the ear canal.
And for god's sake, don't stick a candle in your ding dang ear. Ear wax cannot be sucked out by a candle. There are easier ways to set your head on fire.

Bruce Sterling's bumper-sticker designs
I use the word "instantiate" because the older word "manufacture" has the wrong etymology. Manufacturing literally means making something manually, with hands. Somehow the old term drifted into new use for a machine process that likely should have been radically renamed, like "mechafacturing." We lost that opportunity for clarity. In Shaping Things I'm trying to convince people that it's possible to approach physical possessions in an entirely different way than we do today. Tomorrow, they're no longer jealously guarded physical rarities that are hard to replace, they are hard copies whose histories and support processes are in continual flux.Link (Thanks, Kyle!)

Link (Thanks, jason b)
Reader comment: Andrew Tonkin says,
Yes, that's very good news about the Byrne & Eno reissue & multitracks. One disappointing note - the haunting, original vinyl track "Qu'ran" is still nowhere to be seen. IIRC it was offensive to Muslims, was yanked from the vinyl and never made it to the original CD. Perhaps some vinyl-enabled BB'er might digitize and post this rarity, to the delight of the album's fans?
Reader comment: SoftwareDave says,
Qu'ran is on my copy of the CD (and of course the original vinyl...) - I'm listening to it right now. Maybe it's coz I'm in the UK.
Reader comment: E.W. Brenner says,
here is a link of interest to people who are fond of the song "Qu'uran."
Lileks makes fun of a 1970s Fredericks of Hollywood catalog
Class. Pure class. That's what the entire catalog oozes, and the cover does a brilliant job setting the mood. Because nothing says "alluring, tasteful lingerie" like something that resembles a grocery store circular from Red Owl, a series of arrows that point in the direction of detumescence, and a woman who looks like her head's covered by a cross-dressing squid.

Jill Carroll is free, alive, and well!

Best wishes to Ms. Carroll, and to her friends and family, who must be ecstatic today.
Jeff Tynes, Jill's pal and former colleague, tells BoingBoing
Jill is safe and inside the protected Green Zone in Baghdad. She's spoken to her family, saying she was well and the she was treated well. She said she was not sure why she had been abducted. We are all just overwhelmed with joy. Was it Katie's appeal that led to this release? We aren't sure, but the timing seems to suggest that's the case. Whatever the reason, our Jill is released! We just can't wait to see her home again!

Indiana will observe DST across the state: pity the confused servers
"This is like Y2K except this one is really happening," said university IT spokesman Steve Tally.Link
Currently, most Indiana computer users set their PCs to a special "Indiana East" setting -- Eastern time that doesn't spring forward every April. Starting this April, however, they'll change their PCs to Eastern Daylight Time. The few who observe Central time set their computers to Central, and will also make the switch. Tally predicts the changeover will create havoc with the widely used Microsoft Outlook calendar application. When the time changes, he said, appointments will still be listed according to the old Indiana East time. The calendars of Central time Outlook users, in turn, will continue to list appointments according to Central time.

Update: Mark sez, "I happen to be an IT manager for a philharmonic orchestra in Indiana and the changeover is going to cause massive problems for anyone who uses outlook as a calendar. By the time this is all said and done, it's going to end up costing businesses in this state a lot of time and money. Perhaps the greatest irony is the fact that our governor pushed the change under the premise that it was going to increase revenue in the state. I've been actively encouraging fellow IT professionals in my area to contact the governor and give him an idea just how much the change is costing their company in money and man hours."

About FDA
Are medical devices regulated for non-medical reasons?
Yes, if the device is an electronic product that emits (or if unshielded, would emit) electronic product radiation. Manufacturers of such electronic products should be aware that certain radiation protection requirements and recommendations exist under 21 CFR Subchapter J - Radiological Health.
Medical devices are just a subset of electronic products that may have general regulatory provisions. Some electronic product manufacturers have specific performance, reporting, and recordkeeping standards that must be met before and after their electronic products enter into commerce. Examples of the types of electronic product radiations that are regulated include x-rays and other ionizing radiation, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, microwave, radio and low frequency radiation, coherent radiation produced by stimulated emission, and infrasonic, sonic, and ultrasonic vibrations.
Specific electronic product performance standards exist for medical device electronic products that emit (or would emit) such radiation, for example; x-ray machines, accelerators, neutron generators, biochemical and medical analyzers, medical laser products, sanitizing and sterilizing devices, diathermy units, medico-biological heaters, cauterizers, biomedical analyzers, and ultrasound. Examples of other electronic products are microwave ovens, tanning beds, radar devices, alarm systems, non-medical lasers, etc.

Rockslide Closes Road in Yellowstone
(YELLOWSTONE, N.P.) – A rockslide has closed a section of highway in Yellowstone National Park. Officials say at least one car-sized boulder made its way onto the road between Mammoth Hot Springs and Tower Junction early Saturday morning. Heavy snowfall covered large sections of road over the weekend causing minor delays. The road has been reopened to emergency traffic but will remain closed until the ground stabilizes.

Despite a fresh face at the helm, Yahoo ad revenues were stagnant in Q2.
Another Yahoo earnings report, another CEO. Yahoo made a splash yesterday with the hire of Marissa Mayer as CEO, a well-respected tech product development exec from Google. Outside the embarrassing exodus of Yahoo's previous CEO Scott Thompson, the news about Mayer was probably the most significant of Q2 2012. Yahoo's ad revenue numbers for the quarter were less compelling.
Yahoo display revenues rose 2 percent year-over-year to $535 million. Yahoo pointed to particular growth in the Americas. "Pricing was a little softer than expected" for display, said Tim Morse, chief financial officer. Morse attributed the lower display ad prices to weakness primarily in Europe, and also noted, that "volume actually was a little better."
Search revenues fell 1 percent from Q2 2011 to $461 million. In all, Yahoo reported revenues that were flat compared to Q2 2012, at $1.22 billion.
In May, Yahoo CEO Scott Thompson resigned amid a scandal involving falsified academic credentials. Meantime, until the Mayer hire was revealed yesterday, former ad sales exec Ross Levinsohn served as interim CEO for the struggling firm. Mayer did not participate in an earnings call with investors this afternoon. In deference to the new CEO, Morse did not provide much forward-looking information during the call.
The Thompson brouhaha overshadowed Yahoo's introduction of its data-driven ad management platform, Genome. The platform is now officially available.
Morse touted content partnerships with CNBC, EuroSport, and others that the company hopes will attract more users to Yahoo. He also suggested Yahoo will "take a leading position with online coverage" of the Olympics. The goal for Yahoo will be to turn those video and other content views into ad dollars.

Readying himself for his first transformation, Tyler calls Mason's house and leaves a werewolf-laden message. In life, Mason was a 20th century fox, so Ty's call goes to his answering machine, rather than a more private voice mail service. How convenient for the woman who looks like the third Hilton sister (THS), and is at Mason's place right at that moment. THS makes tracks for Mystic Falls, where she tells the Lockwoods that Mason is missing. Carol puts Sheriff Liz Forbes on the case. Ty's too preoccupied with the full moon to be of much help. THS makes a mysterious call, informing someone Mason is missing and that there is another werewolf about, then heads for the Grill, because there is no place else to go in town.
At the Grill, Alaric hears the scuttlebutt about Mason being "missing" so he fills Damon in, and they pretty quickly peg THS as Mason's friend who bore the bad news to the Lockwoods. The boys then play good cop/bad cop with THS, and get this -- Alaric is the bad cop. He's also really bad at pretending to be drunk. THS humors them for a while, until she takes a sip of the drink they spiked with wolfsbane. Then it's game on, pretty boys. She tells Damon she sniffed him out as a vampire from the first and now -- he is marked. Does that mean she peed on him? Sure enough, when the full moon crests, THS transforms into Furry THS and heads straight for Mossy Manse. She jumps through a window and attacks, sinking her teeth into the recently returned Rose. Damon stabs Furry THS with a sword and she leaves. When Rose doesn't die, she and Damon decide that the werewolf's bite must not be fatal to vampires after all. Rose then takes a shower and comes back downstairs in that rose-colored robe, and proceeds to tell Damon that she'll help him protect Elena, but she'll only be his friend, because she doesn't fall in love with me who are already in love with someone else. Damon flashes his best Evil Pixie Monster eyething at her, and she wastes no time clarifying that she means they'll be friends with benefits. But then, her shoulder wound (which had already healed) starts to ache. Damon pulls her robe off her shoulder to reveal that her bite wound has reappeared and the flesh around it is corroding.
Meanwhile Bonnie enlists Junior Manwitch to help her de-spell the moonstone. And it seems like it works, but when he returns to his apartment, we learn it was all a big fake-out, since he gives the moonstone to Senior Manwitch.
Down in the dungeon at the Lockwood ruins, Caroline stays by Tyler's side for as long as she can, during his agonizing transformation. When the wolf takes him over, she has to flee. But she returns later to find he never escaped. She finds him shaken, crying and naked, and tends to him the best she can. This is going to be one heck of a triangle. Oh, my poor, poor Pudding Pop. And? Oh, my poor Pudding Pup.
Having proven herself bent on martyrdom, Elena is magically sealed inside Gilbert Gables. Bonnie and Jeremy don't care that she's furious, and Damon kind of loves that she is. Since everyone's still keeping Aunt Jenna in the dark, she of course invites Elijah into the house in which Elena is TRAPPED, thinking he's volunteering on the latest Mystic Falls historical project. When Elijah gets Elena alone, he proposes a deal. She should stop trying to kill herself, and live her life, while he uses her to draw the reclusive, paranoid Klaus out of hiding. In return, he promises he will not harm her family and friends. Elena will agree with one small addition. Elijah must find a way to free Stefan from ye olde tomb, where, unbeknownst to Elena, Katherine has been coming on strong and hard, even invading his dreams. Elijah is a vamp of his word. He lowers the seal long enough for Stefan to escape, but raises it right in Katherine's face, and then compels her to remain in the tomb until he releases her. Stefan and Elena reunite, this time with kisses and joy, not tears and fear. Silly young lovers. I think everything's about to go straight to hell.
What a meaty episode. I'm still chewing it over, but right now, the main thought in my mind is that while Elijah may always keep his word, he's very clever with his wording. I don't recall him promising that he wouldn't harm Elena. And since Senior Manwitch obtained the moonstone on Elijah's behalf, I'm thinking Elena is more of a pawn than she fathoms in some sort of Originals power-play. And of course Katherine wanted a werewolf for the spell, and THS is tracking a wolf for someone. None of this looks good. But what's most distressing is that the show is now on hiatus until January 27, 2011. I can't take it, people. I can't take.
I'll be back with the weecap, ASAP, but in the meantime, please grade the episode at the top of the page now, and hey grade it when you come back to read the weecap -- which I'll put up, ASAP. Until then, please join us on the boards where we can ride out the long, dry spell ahead of us.

Well, babies, this is our last blast before the evil hiatus. Speaking as a recapper, I'm looking forward to having a break over the holidays, but I'm not just a recapper. I'm an unrepentant fangirl of this show and these characters, and I think I'm already going into withdrawal. Let's get right to it, and let the healing begin!
Tyler is trying to prepare himself for his first full moon since he transitioned into a werewolf. Since he's filled up Mason's cell phone's voice mail with pleading messages, he now tries Mason's home phone. He's fairly explicit about his werewolf predicament, but of course Mason's never going to hear this, thanks to the heartectomy Damon performed on him. Someone else is listening in, though -- it's a woman. The show tries to pretend her name is Jules, but they can't fool me. Jules is my sitcom best friend who always has a glass of wine ready for me. Look at this girl. She's clearly the third Hilton sister, so let's call her THS. Meanwhile, at...
Gilbert Gables: Bonnie talks to Elena about de-spelling the moonstone. Elena's worried that if Satan Klaus wants it, and gets it back de-spelled, he'll kill everyone she loves. She pretends to go along with Bonnie's plan, but when no one's looking, Elena swipes the stone out of Bonnie's purse. As Elena tries to sneak out of the house, Bonnie and Jeremy stop her. Leaving her alone with the moonstone was a test to see if Elena can be trusted to stop offering herself up as a sacrifice, and she just failed. Bonnie grounds her. With magic. Elena is mystically sealed in Gilbert Gables, even though everyone else can come and go. Uh-oh. I sympathize with you Bonnie, but that can't be good! Elena has cadre of Originals after her. You've just made her the cheese in your mousetrap. Eek!
Ye Olde Tomb: Damon brings Stefan a survival pack, including a bottle of blood, but Stefan won't take that, as he says Katherine would only end up drinking it, too. He's glad to desiccate as long as he takes her with him.
Lockwood Estate: THS arrives at the mansion, just as Tyler is heading out. She asks him and Carol where Mason is. The Lockwoods are distressed to learn that Uncle Brick House never returned to Florida. While Carol deals with THS and this distressing news, Tyler makes tracks to the Grill, because Caroline essentially lives there, these days. He fills her in on the fact that Mason is missing. Alaric, who had been lunching with Jenna, takes this all in.

Women Are Evolving To Be Shorter, Fatter And Healthier
Often when people find out how short I am, they say, "Only a few inches away from being a midget." Hardy, har, har. Instead of thinking about mashing their face with a fork, I can take solace in the fact that we short girls are more evolutionarily advanced than our tall counterparts. Although tall wome…

In our weight-and-beauty-obsessed culture, there's something almost fetishized and taboo about an image of a skinny girl eating a big, honking burger.

Vaping Diaries #217: The Force Vapors Eric Trotter Interview
It was excellent catching up with The Force Vapors CEO Eric Trotter at Evaporate Los Angeles. As a Star Wars nerd, I absolutely love the company's theme and style. As a vaper, I've enjoyed several of The Force Vapors' juices. The owner of Evaporate LA turned me onto Leia's Creamy Cookie and I've been a fan ever since. More importantly, Eric is a cool guy that runs an honest company that has longterm goals in vaping, as opposed to numerous cash-in-now ventures that I've encountered. In the interview above, … continued
Vaping Diaries #216: River Bottom Fog Sauce Review I
Vapers that love authentic tobacco are in for a real treat with River Bottom Fog Sauce. This relatively new e-liquid company specializes in juices made with naturally-extracted tobaccos (NETs). While River Bottom Fog Sauce is one of the newest NET e-liquid companies in the business, it has already established itself as a top-tier juice maker, as far as NETs go. I've been vaping three of the company's juices for the last few months: Fabulous & Burley, St. James Parish, and Poet & Scholar. I was very, … continued
Vaping Diaries #215: 4Kast Vapor Drip Tip Interview
Several weeks ago I met Justin Kelley, co-owner of 4Kast Vapor, and was surprised by his drip tips. 4Kast Vapor has launched with drip tips made from bullet shells, with a pressed delrin core. Drip tips made from 9mm and Smith & Wesson 40 caliber bullet shells are obviously cool, but the pressed delrin core makes these drip tips unique. 4Kast Vapor drip tips are fantastic for sub-ohm vapers; the delrin core is great at dissipating heat and also features wide bores for maximum airflow.

Vaping Diaries #214: Vapour Art GP Paps X Lux Preview
Vapour Art is one of my favorite mod makers in the world. The company uses top-quality metals like 316 stainless steel and aluminum bronze. Vapour Art's craftsmanship is some of the finest in all of vaping; the threads on its mods are exceptionally smooth and the overall workmanship is brilliant. The Vapour Art GP Paps X was my favorite mod of 2013. As you can imagine, I was incredibly psyched to receive the GP Paps X Lux. This mod has everything I love about the GP Paps X, … continued

Vaping Diaries #212: VLS Crest Cap Review (IGO-W5)
The IGO-W5 by Youde is a nice rebuildable dripping atomizer for vapers on a budget. It's arguably Youde's best dripper to date — very well built for a mass-market atomizer. That said, it's a spartan offering and lacks some of the features today's vapers want in an atomizer. That's where the VLS Crest Cap comes in. This third-party accessory is made for the IGO-W5 and adds features that many vapers expect from a dripper in 2014. The VLS Crest Cap elevates the IGO-W5 from a good budget atomizer to a … continued
Vaping Diaries #211: Ahlusion Review IX
It's Ahlusion review time, once again. This time around, I vaped a trio of juices from this outstanding e-liquid company. Two of them were naturally-extracted tobacco e-liquids rounded out by sweet flavors. The other featured extracted tea accompanied by vanilla. One of the juices floored me after a month of steeping, while I enjoyed the others, but didn't love them as much as other Ahlusion juices I've had in the past. Here are my tasting notes on Shipwreck, Caramel Wild Wood, and Vanilla Black Tea.

Vaping Diaries #209: Angelcigs Aqua Clone Review
The Aqua by Footoon from UVO System is one of my favorite atomizers on the market. It's something I vape on every day and it's normal for me to have two Aquas at the ready. Since I was mostly impressed with Angelcigs' Kayfun 3.1 clone, I was curious to see how the Angelcigs' Aqua clone would compare to the real deal. While it does offer a comparable vape, the Angelcigs Aqua clone's build quality is rough and it's prone to leaking.

Vaping Diaries #208: Vapor Jam Review
Vapor Jam is an e-liquid company that was started by a gentleman that worked as an executive chef for two luxury hotels. Prior to his career as a chef, the owner was a touring rock-and-roll musician. He combined his passions and expertise to form Vapor Jam. The company's line of "Rockin' Flavors" features e-liquids with names like Stairway to Vapin, Beatle Juice, and Bohemian Raspberry. As a fan of rock and puns, these flavors caught my attention.
Several months ago, I vaped three Vapor Jam e-liquids: Comfortably Plum, One … continued

Wall Furnace: Pilot does not stay lit
I have a wall gas furnace heater. Pilot light went off last night and I cannot relight it.
I light pilot, hold the push button 30-60Â BUT THEN, when I release button, the pilot light goes off.
First suspect = thermocouple that controls the pilot light.
HOWEVER I have reasons to suspect (see below) that it may not be just the thermocouple. So let me give some more info and perhaps someone would be kind enough to also help me understand how this simple heater works.
This is an old heater probably from the mid 60s. It has a separate pushbutton to light the pilot, and then, a completely separate turn dial to light the furnace.
There is no thermostat, all is manual. - you just control the flame from OFF to HI to LOW with turn dial.
Last time I lit the pilot (a week ago after a long absence), I did not wait the typical 30"-60" to release the button (my finger slipped off the pushbutton 10" into the procedure) and the pilot light started going off. I immediately pushed the button back in, at which point I felt a bit of a GRINDING (ouch!) action. But I kept the button pushed and when I eventually released, the pilot stayed on and the heater worked normally for a week. Then last night it went off by itself and now will not re-light.
There are also a couple of things that I would like to ask, which may help me understand how this simple heater works:
A) There seems to be another thermocouple close to the pilot light, which goes to another assembly that looks like a gas valve (this presumed valve is where the flexible gas supply line hooks up). What is this presumed 2nd thermocouple? And should it be in the path of the pilot light? (because it is not very close to the heat from the pilot).
b) As I first light the pilot and hold the button, if I, SIMOULTANEOUSLY turn on the separate gas dial to light the furnace, shouldnÂt the furnace turn on? Because it does not. Does this mean anything in terms of diagnosing the problem?
Any advice appreciated.
P.S. IÂm on my way to removing the heating assembly and perhaps post some picture. Wife is baking cookies to keep the house from freezing, but weÂll soon run out of recipesÂ
ok you have a old y there the other small line from the last valve is a in line regulator and the small line is a vent.
each time the regulator operates to let gas flow the small
line lets a little gas go through the vent line and it is burned up by the pilot flame. So just take that line off and make sure it is clear so you can blow through it.
The thermocouple is tied to a in line pilot safety value.
So your problem is in that valve either the thermocouple is weak, pilot not burning blue and flame not going around the thermocouple like it should, or the magnet in the pilot safety is getting weak. later paul
OK. Thank you. I fixed it.
Turned out there were probably two contributing problems.
The gas valve had some debris in it, which apparently, prevented the valve from opening fully when the button was pushed. That made it harder for the magnet (is the valve really held magnetically by the thermocouple current?) to hold the valve open. That, in combination with a weak thermocouple could not keep the valve open. I replaced the thermocouple and things got better, the valve was holding but only some of the time. Once I cleaned the debris from the valve, then it held every time.
So my "energy star" heater is working again! (better take those photos down, the Al Gore bounty hunters are probably already hot on my trailÂ)

Members Mark Temperature values
Ok, I want to talk about what the heating temperatures should be for this grill. I finally got enough gas pressure and flame to get it hot. I tested it the other night and got 525 deg F on the three main burners at max for 15 mins.
What is the normal temp it should be grilling at? and how fast should the grill get hot? I've looked around here and I believer Alec at Komar is the only one that has put the temp rates in writing.
BTW, I'm very very impressed with this grill. I can wait to get all the kinks out of it. So I can continue with my built in project of bricking the grill.
FWIW, I just tested this last night also.
With the propane tank almost empty and running all three main burners on high, the hood thermometor hit 550 degrees after about 18 minutes. I don't have a thermometer that measures the cooking grate temperature.
I opened the lid, oiled the middle grate, slapped a couple of tuna steaks on the grill, shut the lid and turned off the left and right burner. The hood thermometer had dropped to 450 degrees in the 60 seconds I had the lid opened. Temps remained at 450 degrees for the few minutes it took to cook the tuna steaks.
