I am a parent with two children at Sunningdale Public School. I have just been advised via e-mail from the Halton District School Board (HDSB) regarding the province-wide protest day today (Friday, Jan. 11).
Possibly because parents have not spoken on the subject, the teachers' unions believe parents are with them. For one, I am not. I did not appreciate the automated telephone call back in December requesting our patience and support for the legal strike day. There was no one to speak with or to leave my message when I tried to call back.
The teachers voted Dalton McGuinty in on the last election — their union told them to. McGuinty favoured the teachers all throughout his 'reign' in Ontario because his wife was/is a teacher. The union was sleeping with its eyes open if it thought for one minute at some point he would not have to make the same hard decisions he did with other unions.
Teachers, as well as doctors and nurses, provide necessary services — McGuinty is treating teachers finally the same as he has treated the healthcare system in Ontario.
While no one has made a loud voice for the healthcare system, it continues on a downward spiral.
The teachers' union has a loud voice.
My one daughter came home from school in December telling me we should support the teachers because they are standing up for their rights.
My response back was — you've got to be kidding — what they are teaching you is to whine and complain, because you will get what you want.
In the last 10 years, companies have down-sized, gone out of business and left the province. We have a high jobless rate. I don't stand with the Premier, but I will say he has tried in hard times to be cost-effective.
To be most cost-effective, would be to eliminate executive positions at the top of all governmental bodies and unions making ridiculously huge salaries for doing next to nothing.
Parents are left now to figure out who is going to stay home with their children. How much will it cost for us to find someone to watch them. For some parents, this is a bigger issue than others. But when I am paying taxes to the public school board, I am expecting something in return — an education and for them to be attending school on the days they are supposed to be.
Maybe this will be my wake-up call to move my children to a private school — then I won't get any surprises.
I hope Dalton McGunity and his government does not give in to the teachers' union demands because it will teach our children — if you whine and complain long enough and loud enough, you will get what you want.

Was a pretty good read, especially if you're into gaming (whether for the action, quest or just the often intricate storylines). I was a bit disappointed with how abruptly it ended though - could have used maybe another chapter, 20 pages to wrap things up in silghtly more detail.

"This was our acknowledgement card when my mother passed. We personalized the wording and changed the font to reflect what she would have liked. The result , and the substantial quality of the paper, caused me to say "wow" when I opened the package. The recipients who mentioned it called it "elegant, refined, beautiful". Delivery was even sooner than promised, and I was so pleased that this was the card we sent to family and friends."
"I ordered the light grey and was a little concerned the pattern on the card would be too light. I was pleasantly surprised when I got the cards - they turned out to be absolutely beautiful and look just like the picture. Subtle and classy, I would definitely recommend it!"
"I love the elegant design with flowers that appear almost hand-painted in water colors on both sides and the texture of the paper is very nice. The teal color is my favorite and appropriate for either male or female receivers."
"Loved the layout with the initial and dates. Colors were perfect and gender neutral. Order arrived early and they were beautiful!"
"Ordering was very easy and we were happy with the selection of cards available. The cards arrived on time and were exactly what we wanted."

how to deal with these stucco issues....please help
We are young couple in our early 30`s and we bought a 1965 home in santa barbara california. Home isn't in a very good shape and has lot of deferred maintenance. We have spent last 5 months updating the interior and now finally we are thinking of improving the exterior.
Here are a link to some photos
As you can see we have replaced all the windows and patio doors but the new stucco around the frame does not match the old wall color. Also, I have caulked multiple cracks all around the house. So here are my questions
1) How do I tell if the stucco has been painted before or not ? If it wasn't it would be much cheaper to do a fog coat of new La Habra Allegro 2 to change its color. It would be a easy DIY. If it was painted then I will need to get it sandblasted first or have to paint it instead. I prefer not painting as I think it will be higher maintenance in long run plus its more expensive as I don't think I can do a good DIY job on it.
2)I read somewhere that if you wet the stucco and it changes color then its probably not painted. IMG_1889 shows the wet wall. I can't really tell if this proves that its a stucco.
3) Some gables were removed during pest work and were filled in by cement as shown in IMG_1891 and IMG_1893. How do I smooth the surface before I paint ? Also as shown in IMG_1892 and IMG_1894 there was an area that was patched by previous owner. It was cheaply done and the surface is not flat and doesn't adhere with the stucco. How do I deal with this ?
4) There is a gap between the rafters and the wall as shown in IMG_1886. Should I fill that with some stucco patching compound ?
5)IMG_1901 shows that there is a gap between the wall above the garage and the wooden support above garage. Water can easily seep through this. Its wide enough that I can't caulk between it. What should I do there ?
6) IMG_1909 shows that there was a shed or a ceiling wall over the patio which was removed before I bought this place. There is still the steal metal bar inside the stucco poking out a bit. I would like to remove this or just temporarily hide it. What are my options ?
7) I have started to power wash the fence. I am planning to put a waterproof stain on it next. Homedepot sells Behr waterproofing stain and waterproofing wood protector. What is the difference between the two ?
8)IMG_1916 shows a gap in the bottom of the garage wall near the gas line. What`s that gap for ? Should I try to patch this or is this opening there for a good reason ?
Here is a link that might be useful: home pics

»Morton's, The Steakhouse
You may not have dined at Morton's before, but probably have heard someone somewhere rave about the place - and for a good reason. This has been the first-ever location of the Morton's Steakhouse and has a history that dates back to 1978. In this City of Beef, steaks don't get much better than this. A trademark Morton's experience involves a sophisticated tableside presentation of your entree choices (fresh cuts of meat, live lobster). Be sure to take advantage of the extensive wine list. The refined and well-informed staff is almost as well attired as the patrons.

A perfect watering hole attracting youngsters and the young-at-heart, Emerald Isle is a place where good times roll. The bar has a welcoming interior with exposed-brick walls and a gorgeous, wood-polished bar that gives this place an old-school charm.

Grab a seat at the bar or one of the many tables and enjoy some nachos or a burger with a specialty cocktail. On cold nights, a seat by the brick fireplace will warm you right up. With 27 TVs dotted throughout, this bar is perfect for a group of friends who want to watch the game with a pint of Guinness.
»Long Room
Some bars are good for game-watching or copious amounts of beer-drinking. Others are good places to wind down after a long workday, catch up with friends, and sample a pint or two of a beer you've never heard of. The Long Room, which serves an eclectic selection of worldwide beers for reasonable prices, is the latter type of bar. With over 10 beers rotating on tap and more than 70 bottled beers, it's the ultimate destination for beer snobs. But beer-drinkers of all ages and types seem to enjoy The Long Room, which radiates a local-but-not-dive vibe. The bar also boats a vintage photo booth, free parking and a smoking patio. - Betsy Mikel

AS I HAVE been oft to observe, my chronic stupidity may not be a sin but it sure is inconvenient. It flared up again yesterday.
IT WAS INDEED the move of a lifetime, a matter where getting "settled in" reaches far beyond merely getting things unpacked and put away. That couldn't have been easier. Allowing our emotions, our psyche - our very outlook - to settle in .
IF JANUARY was its marker, 2015 will be not just a memorable year but a year that changed my lifestyle and - this is the heavy part - perhaps even altered what lies down the road ahead.
FOR A FEW years there, back when the wife and I were starving our way toward college degrees, I could take coffee in any way it was presented.
IF DOWNSIZING was strictly a mechanical thing, that would be challenging but doable. We keep this bedroom suite, that table, these clothes, some utensils and all the essential documents.
BACK THEN, while I was doing my U. S. Army hitch, it was known by my closest friends and most frequent adversaries as my "Smart Book.
THERE'S SOMETHING about the journalistic misuse of the word "elderly" that upsets me more than it did, even back when I was preaching to young - and often not so young - reporters to strike it from their vocabularies.
DIVORCE IS NEVER easy, and the longer the history of the relationship the more difficult it becomes. History begats complacency and complacency is the enemy of adjustment.
WHAT Judy Parcells likely remembers most about Lubbock was the trip here from Nashville. Twice during that journey of a thousand miles, the suitcases on top of her small car came untied and crashed to the pavement.
IT HAS BEEN for me both a delight and a pleasure to find myself, on separate occasions, the primary caretaker for two women who, while not blood relatives, were very dear to my heart.

Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food: Join a CSA
Shake the hand that feeds you. ~ Michael Pollan
Join the growing (pun intended) number of people who are participating in local CSAs (Community Supported Agriculture) and become part of the solution while improving your family's health.
Also known as "subscription farming," getting a CSA share is a way for people to buy in-season products like fruits and vegetables and even meat from local farmers. It's a win-win for everyone. It helps the farmers when they need funds in the beginning of the growing season, while offering members great fresh produce fresh from the dirt.
Listen to Green Diva Meg as she gives us the scoop on just what a CSA is.
There are so many good reasons to participate in your local CSA. Here are my top five:
1. Supporting local businesses.
Our friend Woody Tasch, the author of Inquiries into the Nature of Slow Money: Investing As If Food, Farms and Fertility Mattered, has a growing (again pun intended) community of investors that believe in the benefits of investing in our local farmers and producers is a great way to create healthier more sustainable local economies. It is a new conversation about rebuilding the economy by building one food enterprise at a time.
2. Eating locally grown and hopefully organic produce.
It's no secret that eating foods grown with pesticides are not good for us. We had spoken to Fran Dresher about her movement Cancer Schmancer, and she talked about the fact that babies are being born pre-polluted now. Yikes!!
Not all locally grown produce is organic, but in researching in our area through the Food Shed Alliance, we found out that most local farms were transitioning to organic, which means they were in the process of eliminating harmful chemical fertilizers and pesticides. It can take a few years for conventional farms to be certified as organic.
There are also many ways that farmers minimize or eliminate pesticides and harmful chemicals, but do not have the resources to fully qualify for organic certification. Ask the farmers at your local farmer's market or CSAs about what their policies and practices are.
3. Knowing where your food comes from.
With all the "green washing" going around, there is no downside to buying from a trusted community member. And it's nice to know that you are treading more lightly on the planet by not purchasing produce flown in from other countries.
4. Eating seasonally.
This is a little more challenging after being used to getting pretty much whatever you want any time of the year. But even if you don't want to be militant about it, you can make it a creative challenge and make the bulk of your diet seasonal. Start with checking this seasonal food guide. Search Google for great recipes for food that is in season in your region. Obviously some seasons will be more interesting and/or challenging than others. The other good news is that the produce you eat in season is more favorable and nutritious at that time.
5. Teaching your children about the where food comes from:.
If you ask most children where their food comes from, they will tell you the grocery store. Teaching our children where food comes from and how it is grown will make them more likely to be adventurous and healthy in their eating habits and maybe turn them into better custodians of the planet too.

I did a CSA last year and it was ok. I think I would like to find one with more fruit. The vegetables were nice and we definitely used them but fruit is such an easy thing to get my kids to eat ;~) Time to start shopping around!

Yekra Player
Yekra is a revolutionary new distribution network for feature films.
"All across America, school food is undergoing a major transformation to help reverse the childhood obesity epidemic — but not without opposition and challenges. CAFETERIA MAN provides an inspiring, behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to bring fresher, healthier food to the millions of kids in our nation's schools. The film follows nationally-recognized chef Tony Geraci as he works to revamp school food programs that feed thousands of students in two big city districts — Baltimore and Memphis. Responding to the pleas of Baltimore students who were fed-up with terrible school lunches, Geraci was hired to replace pre-plated foods with tastier, more nutritious meals. But he didn't stop there. To help students develop a better appreciation for healthier foods, he also established a model 33 acre teaching farm, brought in more locally sourced produce, and initiated student-designed meals. CAFETERIA MAN shows that it is possible to feed our nation's students healthier, more nutritious meals, and provides inspiration and ideas to win the fight for better school food.
With appearances by First Lady Michelle Obama, noted food author Michael Pollan, White House Chef Sam Kass. "
Yekra Player
Yekra is a revolutionary new distribution network for feature films.
Join acclaimed director Velcrow Ripper (Scared Sacred, Fierce Light) on a journey deep inside the revolution of the heart that is erupting around the planet, as he asks the question, âHow could the crisis we are facing become a love story?â
Occupy Love explores the growing realization that the dominant system of power is failing to provide us with health, happiness or meaning. The old paradigm that concentrates wealth, founded on the greed of the few, is causing economic and ecological collapse. The resulting crisis has become the catalyst for a profound awakening: Â millions of people are deciding that enough is enough â Â the time has come to create a new world, a world that works for all life.
The film connects the dots in this era of rapidly evolving social change, featuring captivating insider scenes from the Egyptian Revolution, the Indignado uprising in Spain, Occupy Wall Street in New York, the environmental movement and beyond. Woven throughout the action oriented backbone of the film is a deep exploration of public love, and compelling stories of an emerging new paradigm. It features some of the worldâs key visionaries on alternative systems of economics, sustainability, and empathy, including Naomi Klein, Bill McKibben, Jeremy Rifkin, and bell hooks.
Occupy Love is a moving, transformative, heartfelt film, featuring Ripperâs signature stunning visuals and rich soundscapes. A powerful cinematic experience leaves viewers inspired.

These retro toys are go-to pleasers for any age group. Has an old friend always longed for a certain toy from your childhood? Well now is a great time to give it to her (or her kid)!
Every girl of a certain age grew up with an Easy-Bake oven in the house. This miniature plastic oven allows you to make tiny sweets in minutes and decorate them as well. This classic is still on the market, entertaining girls and destroying kitchens year after year. (Ages 8 and up; $49.99; www.hasbro.com)
The purpose of the game is for each player to collect as many marbles as possible with his or her hippo. Who are we kidding? The real object of the game is to slam your handle down over and over as fast as you can, with no rhythm and no timing until your hippo grabs all the marbles on the table! Super fun. (Ages 4 and up; $16.99; www.hasbro.com)
Entertain the boys in your life -- big and small -- with the 10-car assortment pack of Matchbox cars. Race them, launch them through the air, and enjoy endless imaginative play. (Ages 3 and up; $9.99; www.matchbox.com)
There is nothing better than being able to take the features off an oversized potato and switch them around. Mr. Potato Head is an awesome addition to any toddler play collection. (Ages 2 and up; $7.99; www.hasbro.com)
Players of Operation can remove various body parts from a "patient" using a pair of tweezers, but if your hands aren't steady, watch out! This exciting game is a great throwback to family game night. (Ages 6 and up; $16.99; www.hasbro.com)
Test your recall with Simon, the '80s handheld memory game that plays a series of sounds and asks you to repeat them back. The more recent Simon games have been given a new look, but the addictiveness is still going strong. (Ages 5 and up; $10.99; www.toysrus.com)
The one-hit wonder of the toy world is still out there. These incredibly fun and entertaining plastic coloring plates can be baked in the oven and shrunk to a fraction of their original size. (All ages; $5 and up; www.shrinkydinks.com)
The Strawberry Shortcake toys, including sweet-smelling dolls and accessories, were coveted collectors' items of the 1980s. Now, with a slightly new look, these dolls make a great gift for girls. (Ages 3 and up; $4.99 and up; www.hasbro.com/strawberryshortcake)
Originally created in 1914, Tinkertoys have been entertaining budding architects ever since. It is amazing what a child can do with simple wooden shapes. (Ages 3 and up; $14.99 and up; www.hasbro.com)
Fisher Price re-released some of its classics last year and they are on the market for your retro enjoyment. From the Corn Popper Push Toy and Basic Two Tone Television to the Chatter Phone and Classic Record Player with little plastic records, these throwbacks to your childhood can be enjoyed by your whole family.

FATAL PICTURES is proud to announce colour correction has been completed on HEIR – Hitting the festival circuit later this year!
Starring Bill Oberst Jr. & Robert Nolan
There is one scene in this 24 minute film that is very effects-heavy. But it is all practical effects and it is done beautifully! That scene alone probably doubled or tripled the budget of the film for the quality of the prosthetics and animatronics used. Very well done.

are they positive that will fix the problem? it calls for 5 hours to pull the transmission. i'm not sure how much extra time to change the sensor. the speedometer gear in the transmission is about $40 and the speed sensor in the transmission is about $245...
ReplyVisitor, February 24, 2011, 18:07
Hi Goodguysdiesel, I've asked if they are sure that will fix the problem and I got the typical evasive answer. They gave me an estimate and the parts are less than $300, the rest is labour. They do repairs based on a fixed price, not hourly. I've had all sorts of weird repairs to do with this car: bearings at 50,000 mi (!!!!), broken suspension coil, now the speedometer. They told me this has never been reported in the Toyota repairs database.

This pricey water-soluble cleanser is medicated with 2% salicylic acid, yet in a cleanser, this anti-acne superstar's benefits are rinsed down the drain before they can work. Granted, if you're using this with a Clarisonic cleansing brush, its contact with skin will likely be longer than if you were cleansing with your fingers, but ultimately you don't want to leave the cleansing agents this contains on skin for more than a minute or so, or you risk a dry, tight feeling.
The same brief contact with skin comments for salicylic acid apply to the vitamins and botanical (plant extract) ingredients in this cleanser. They look good on the label, but really don't do much in a cleanser. Although far from a must-have product for acne-prone skin, this cleanser is a good, albeit expensive, option for normal to oily skin, breakouts or not. It works well to remove makeup and rinses without a residue.
Formulated with salicylic acid, this acne-treating cleanser helps clear and prevent new acne blemishes from forming by gently exfoliating to unclog pores and help dry excess sebum. Enriched with vitamins and botanicals, this comforting, foaming cleanser helps reduce the appearance of redness and leaves skin feeling soft and smooth.
Active Ingredient: Salicylic Acid 2.00%, Other Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Glycerin, Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Glycereth-2 Cocoate, Glyceryl Stearate, Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, Acrylates Copolymer, PEG-18 Glyceryl Oleate/Cocoate, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Camellia Oleifera Leaf Extract, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Water, Nelumbo Nucifera Flower Extract, Panthenol, Butylene Glycol Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Allantoin, Tocopheryl Acetate, Hydroxyphenyl Propamidobenzoic Acid, Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters, Hydroxyethylcellulose, 10-Hydroxydecanoic Acid, Lactic Acid, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Hydroxide, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Methylisothiazolinone, Fragrance, Alcohol, Disodium EDTA-Copper, Pentylene Glycol
Clarisonic At-A-Glance
Strengths: Cleans skin well, but not as well as the claims state.
Weaknesses: Very expensive; system provides only minuscule amounts of cleanser (though you can use this with any cleanser).
The Classic Clarisonic system is one of the most expensive ways to clean your face on a daily basis we've ever seen. It is a battery-powered, rotating brush with adjustable power levels for different skin types, along with two different brush heads for normal or sensitive skin. It also comes with 1- ounce-each tubes of Clarisonic's three cleansers (for $195 you'd think they could at least give you more than a three-week supply of cleanser). Does the expense mean you'll get significantly cleaner skin? Is Oprah Winfrey on to something by naming this device one of her favorite things? Read our review of the Clarisonic system to find out!
For more information about Clarisonic, call (888) 525-2747 or visit www.clarisonic.com.
The Beautypedia Research Team is dedicated to helping you find the absolute best products for your skin, using research-based criteria to review beauty products from an honest, balanced perspective. Each member of the team was personally trained by Paula Begoun herself.
This acne cleanser is one of the best acne cleansers I've ever used! It actually cleans, softens, moisturizes and clears my skin! My skin is NOT dry after rinsing the cleanser off my face and I have seen a great reduction in the # of blemishes on my young skin. The cleanser has vitamins, antioxidants and soothing ingredients to comeback redness and dryness. (Yes, I've done some research on the ingredients). It is a great acne cleanser and it smells good too. Try it, I'm pretty sure you'll <3 it.

This year's fourth overall pick, Tristan Thompson, has some growin' to do. He's going to need to learn to distribute the ball at least a little better. In five games, he's amassed two dimes. Two dimes in 10 days. That's less than my great grandfather made selling a day's worth of newspapers.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Chase Budinger
Boston, Dallas, Memphis and the Lakers share one win amongst themselves and 10 losses. So understand me when I tell you that everything – absolutely everything – written here is a complete guess. So it goes when you're watching basketball as messy as this.Please, blog, may I have some more?
I added Robin Lopez in two of my leagues. I didn't like doing it, but anytime a guy who was overhyped last year drops 21/7 in 27 reserve minutes, you kind of got to throw away your last pick and take a chance.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Who knew that Kevin Martin would drain 34 points and sink a perfect 18-for-18 from the line and he wouldn't even have the most impressive line on his own team? Kyle Lowry triple-doubled in his first career game last night (28/10/11, with three treys and three steals) and has come on this season like gangbusters.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Three months ago, the Charlotte Bobcats were an aimless team with two underwhelming fantasy options (Gerald Wallace and Stephen Jackson), a slight surprise late-round draft pick (D.J. Augustin), and a long-shot stud that, again, has underwhelmed (Tyrus Thomas).Please, blog, may I have some more?
Troy Murphy signed with the Celtics, who seem to be gunning for the all-time record of broke-down NBA big men. Erick Dampier feels like he should be on this team. You get the feeling Rajon Rondo spends most of his free time Skyping kids his own age during road trips while the rest of the Celtics roster goes out to see "The King's Speech" for the third time?Please, blog, may I have some more?
Houston's Chase Budinger has averaged 30 mpg in the three games since Thursday's trade deadline. In that small sample size, Budinger has averaged .516/.850, along with 2.7 3pg/21.7 ppg/5.3 rpg. I don't need to tell you how outstanding that production is from a player owned in fewer than 25 percent of fantasy leagues.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Between trades and buyouts, more than 50 players will be wearing jerseys they weren't wearing a week ago. Fifty. Five-oh, my! We've had three of the league's top 20 players switch conferences (Aw, shucks. You still consider me top 20? Easy, Gerald Wallace.Please, blog, may I have some more?
This time of the year is always bittersweet. Shuffling up the collective deck of players and dealing them all over the NBA map is fun and exciting, like the time you see your first boob up close.

Loretta evolves into an All-Star player as member of the Padres
How to explain Loretta's continuing growth as a player at a stage when many contemporaries' skills are devolving?
Staying healthy is surely one factor —— he has played in a career-best 154 games two years running. And Loretta has attributed his sudden rise as a power threat (13 and 16 home runs the past two seasons after never hitting more than seven previously) to learning how to turn on pitches rather than spraying the ball to the opposite field.
But more telling, he says, is the long, sometimes arduous path he took to San Diego.
"One of the major reasons I was able to do what I've done the last couple years is just the experience that I've had leading up to it, good and bad," Loretta said. "Just learning about myself, learning the game, learning how to make adjustments. I think experience in this game is underrated. It takes a long time to really understand how to handle this game, mentally and emotionally more than anything."

Joe Christensen covered Major League Baseball for 15 years, including three seasons at the Baltimore Sun and eight at the Star Tribune, before switching to the college football beat. He's a Faribault, Minn., native who graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1996. He covered Jim Wacker's Gophers for the Minnesota Daily and also wrote about USC, UCLA and the Rose Bowl for the Riverside Press-Enterprise before getting this chance to cover football again.
Email Joe to talk about the Gophers.
Turns out, Jimmy Gjere's concussion symptoms apparently haven't subsided. The sophomore offensive tackle has decided to end his football career, according to an announcement just released by the Gophers.
That's a real shame, because Gjere sounded upbeat and excited about returning to action when he talked to me last week, for a story that ran in this morning's Star Tribune. He had been symptom-free over the summer, after suffering through several months of being, in his words, "absolutely miserable" following a concussion suffered in Minnesota's loss at Michigan last October.
Gjere, a 6-foot-7, 325-pound graduate of Irondale High, started five games as a redshirt freshman last year, and his future looked bright. Just shows the scary staying power of concussions.
Wide receiver E.J. Sardinha, a freshman from Palm Beach Central (Fla.) High, will take Gjere's place on the roster.

Worth it to drain/flush the water heater?
Does it really extend the life of your water heater if you flush it annually? I have heard the opposite from people who do not do this and say their water heaters have lasted 20 years or more. Is it simply poor water heater design in recent years that requires this type of maintenance?
Everyone's situation is different. Difficult to quantify for your particular situation. It has less to do with water heater design per se than it does with individual situations.
But, to answer your question, yes. It will extend the life of any water heater. How much? Depends....on factors that you will not be able to determine. However, if you think you should expect 20 years out your residential water heater -- any mfgr's residential water heater -- I suggest you make a mental adjustment.
I flush mine twice a year. They go bad anyway, in due course. More important IMHO is making sure there's a place for the leaking water to go when it does go bad. They all fail the same way -- they leak. If you're on a slab like I am, you'd better be sure there's a safe, no-damage pan and drain-path underneath the unit.
I think a lot depends upon water quality and chemistry. I've lived in houses where the water was pretty nasty and the heaters only made it 5-7 years. My current heater (with very good water) is 23 years old. I've never flushed a water heater, but I know that it is recommended.
"I think a lot depends upon water quality and chemistry."
Um...well, yes...like almost all of it.
And this user is supposed to objectively/quantitatively determine the service-life of his personal water-heater exactly how based on this? Somewhere between 5 and 23 apparently?
Repeating the last line in my own response: "More important IMHO is making sure there's a place for the leaking water to go when it does go bad. They all fail the same way -- they leak."
Ignore at you peril.

The Next Generation Ultimate Double Hung from Marvin Windows and Doors was selected at the 2015 International Builders' Show (IBS) as the winner of the prestigious Best of IBS Award, given by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).
Chosen by a panel of independent judges, including reporters and building professionals, Marvin's Next Generation Ultimate Double Hung was selected out of hundreds of applicants as the best and most innovative window product on the market. With the Next Generation Ultimate Double Hung, Marvin masterfully reinvented one of the classic windows of our time by combining state-of-the-art technology with its legendary American craftsmanship, resulting in a traditional-looking window that is deceptively modern and beautifully innovative.
The Next Generation Ultimate Double Hung uses an innovative hardware system, which elegantly combines the traditional double hung look with intuitive operation, modern convenience and added peace of mind. Marvin also has expanded its Next Generation Ultimate Double Hung family to include a round top version and an IMPACT version for regions where hurricane protection is needed.
"At Marvin, we pride ourselves on providing the very best performing products and uncompromising service to our customers," said Christine Marvin, Director of Marketing at Marvin Windows and Doors.

We're so proud of this window, and are honored to be chosen by the NAHB as one of the best and most innovative products on the market in 2015."
"With a record number of product submissions, the competition for this year's Best of IBS awards was fierce," said Jerry Konter, NAHB's Conventions and Meetings Committee Chair and a home builder from Savannah, Ga.

Please write in Dave Sticht for Meredith selectman on March 11
To The Daily Sun,
On March 11, Meredith residents will be voting for a selectman. The only person on the ballot is a woman named Hillary Seeger. I don't know much about the lady because there has been no "meet and greet," nor have I ever seen her at a Selectboard meeting until one recently, right after she filed to run.
It was a shame that Herb Vadney did not publicly announce his intention not to run this term, so that others could file in a timely manner, and the race would not be uncontested.
I was speaking with Herb recently about this uncontested issue, and his news article about deciding not to run, the same day the filing was closed. I said I might have liked to run, but now it was too late. Herb told me the board wanted Hillary, and then someone told me that the board knew one week prior to the letter. We the people need to get out and vote.
I have decided to do a write-in at the polls and the person I think is the most qualified is Dave Sticht, a former selectman, who comes to meetings, and who attended all this year's budget meetings.
Dave has experience in planning, financial expertise, and most importantly a sound knowledge of the role and function of the board and the administrative aspect of the town. He has agreed to serve if winning this election. Please join me in this write-in campaign on March 11.

I believe in solving problems by looking for what we have in common
To The Daily Sun,
My name is Richard Hanson and I am a candidate for a position on the Selectboard of Center Harbor, New Hampshire.
I have been a resident of Center Harbor for the past 28 years residing with my wife, Alice, in an old New Englander home within walking distance to the village. I have been actively engaged in the community, serving as an alternate member of the Zoning Board for more than 12 years and as a member of the Inter-Lakes School Board for 15 years. I also worked as a part-time police officer under Chiefs Andrew Fowler and Mark Chase. I retired from the Pemi-Baker School District about five years ago, where I was employed as a high school counselor at Plymouth Regional High School for 30 years.
I am a graduate of the University of Rhode Island with a Bachelor's Degree in philosophy, Master's degree in counseling psychology and a Juris Doctorate Degree from the University of New Hampshire School of Law. I have been a member of the New Hampshire Bar Association since 1991.
I have no specific agenda or concerns with the current state of affairs in Center Harbor. The past few years have been somewhat challenging, but past differences of opinions are mostly resolved with resolutions that appear to satisfy most.
My interest in becoming a selectperson originates from my passion for working with people, being part of a team, and having a voice in the operation of town government. In my 15-year tenure on the Inter-Lakes School Board, I have served as board chair for the past four years, represented three towns (Center Harbor, Sandwich and Meredith) as the School Board member-at-large position, chaired the negotiation team and helped develop and manage an over-$20 million budget.
My work with the Police Department and Zoning Board for many years has given me insights into the operation of our town's government which will be beneficial in performing the duties of a selectperson.
I believe my greatest personal strengths are my ability to see two sides of an issue and to bring disparate groups together. I believe in solving problems by finding what we have in common and not focusing on what separates us. As a selectman, I will work to manage our town's government efficiently and effectively. It is my hope to be part of a Selectboard that is open, honest, responsive, and responsible. I would greatly appreciate your vote for selectperson on March 11.

A number of prominent N.H. Republicans are now endorsing Cryans
To The Daily Sun,
In a recent letter, Kevin Leandro makes the assertions that because Executive Council candidate Mike Cryans had been a banker he may not be trustworthy and that he had spent a lifetime picking the pockets of Americans. Does Mr. Leandro have any facts that support these assertions he makes against Mr. Cryans? If so, then he should be forthright with facts versus backhanded with suggestion and innuendo.
Yes, Mr. Cryans was a banker, a career he entered after teaching. He worked at Littleton Savings Bank and Dartmouth Banking Company. Is Mr. Leandro aware of any charges against either of these banks, or Mr. Cryans while he was in their employ, which suggests that either the banks or Mr. Cryans did anything that would warrant their being considered to not be trustworthy? If not, to suggest that someone is untrustworthy and picking the pockets of Americans simply because they worked in banking is disrespectful to Mr. Cryans, to the majority of those in the banking industry and to the intelligence of us readers.
Mr. Leandro also stated, "Mike Cryans and a bunch of Democrats are disgracefully trying to extract the endorsement of Republican Ray Burton." The facts are that Mr. Burton did endorse Mr. Cryans for Grafton County Commissioner in 2012 and that Mr. Burton's three surviving siblings — two of them Republicans — have collectively endorsed Mr. Cryans for Executive Council.
Mr. Burton's siblings have stated the following, "I cannot think of a more qualified individual to fill his seat than Mike Cryans. I have no doubt that he will put the needs of his constituents first and come to Concord to provide full services as a public servant. Mike knows there is a lot work to do, and he will get it done ... There is little doubt that my brother, Ray, left big shoes to fill, but I am confident that Mike Cryans is the man to succeed him. He has a deep understanding of District 1 and the issues facing its residents. Mike is someone who listens to the concerns of his constituents and will follow through on their issues. I know he will make an excellent executive councilor. ... Now we must 'look north' and elect someone who will continue to advocate for northern NH residents. That person is Mike Cryans. Intelligent, compassionate, and dedicated to serving the needs of others, Mike will never forget the residents of District One."
Utilizing and promoting the fact that Ray had endorsed Mike in 2012 and the fact that his siblings' have endorsed Mike for Executive Council is far different then trying to extract an endorsement from a deceased Mr. Burton as Mr. Leandro suggests in his letter. This week there was a substantial list released of prominent New Hampshire Republicans that are now endorsing Mike Cryans. Every campaign promotes important endorsements, so expect to hear the fact that these members of the New Hampshire GOP are endorsing and supporting Mike as they clearly find him to be the best candidate to serve District 1 on the Executive Council.

Cryans was born & raised in Littleton & is lifelong Grafton County resident
To The Daily Sun,
Election Day is Tuesday, March 11, and I ask you to join me in voting for Mike Cryans to represent District 1 on the Executive Council.
Many folks are not quite sure what the Executive Council does and what they do not have the authority to do. The Executive Council manages the affairs of the state, alongside the governor, each acting as a check on the other. The Executive Council is not part of the legislative branch -- they do not make laws.
The best executive councilors, like Ray Burton, work in a non-partisan way and do what is best for the state of New Hampshire. For six years, as a member of the Grafton County delegation, I have worked with Mike Cryans in North Haverhill, our county seat, where he serves as county commissioner — a post that he shared with Ray Burton for 16 years. When it came time to elect the chairman of the Grafton County Commission in 2009, 2011 and 2013, Ray Burton nominated and supported Mike Cryans. Mike has worked for the people of Grafton County to provide services, improve facilities at the county and do it in a fiscally responsible way.
Whether visiting residents of the nursing home, dining with employees in the county cafeteria, or braving the elements on a blustery November day touring conservation lands in Grafton County, I have found Mike to be a person who is genuinely interested in the goings-on of the county and who connects with his constituents and truly cares about them.
Ray Burton's siblings have endorsed Mike Cryans, saying in their letter of endorsement, "I have no doubt that he (Mike) will put the needs of his constituents first and come to Concord to provide full services as a public servant for the people of District 1."
Join me on March 11 and elect Mike Cryans — born and raised in Littleton and a lifetime resident of Grafton County. He will fight for the North Country and the needs of all of District 1.

Does it make sense to put all administrative offices in 1 part of school?
To The Daily Sun,
I've been thinking about the taxpayers being asked to fund a $4 million project for the Alton Central School, with a large chunk of this money going to centralize the administration offices.
In the past few years all we've heard about is the safety of the children, which I agree should be a priority. However, with this latest request for millions, we'd model an elementary school after a corporate business, and put all the administration offices in one end of the building?
We've spent many thousands of dollars for cameras and special keyless entries because of the high level of safety concerns for the children. Wouldn't it make sense that the administrators should have their offices at each end and in the middle of the building, to further ensure the safety of those whom they are supposed to be responsible for, the children? It would seem that by having all the offices at one end of the building, it would leave three-quarters of the school unattended by an administrator.
I think this part of the request takes money away from the children, who should be the sole focus of any spending in this economic environment.
When you consider it was the superintendent and administrators who carefully controlled any, and all participation in the renovation planning, it's interesting that the administrative offices have become a priority. Evidently, the superintendent has control over our School Board, too, because they're in agreement.
Furthermore, under this plan, we'd be paying an architect who, I feel, is responsible for the $1 million warrant article for the High School roof repairs. Apparently the School Board agrees with me, as this architect is not involved in its repair.
Lastly, my husband suggested $4 million last year to prove the lack of planning for the amount of spending the School Board always wants to incur. The amount is getting more reasonable, but here we are again, asking if their plan is a viable one.
