Some AdWords account management
I chose PepperClick because you have a funny name for your company so I guess you are a fun person (or people). :-) I am a one-man AdWords agency getting overloaded with work. I'd like another AdWords expert to have a look at some of my accounts and implement their own ideas to improve performance and/or implement some general ideas from me. In other words, to work some billable hours on some of my customer accounts. I'd like us to try this first as a 5 hour trial. If it's good for both of us then I'm looking at a regular 5 - 10 hours per month. Maybe more later if it goes well. One condition: I would like to see the changes before they get uploaded. This is because I want to follow what is going on and see if it agrees with my own goals for those customers. One option to achieve that would be to send me the changes in a spreadsheet and I'll study them and then upload them. If you have a different suggestion I'll consider that too. Cheers!

Set up and manage Pinterest account
Hi Karla! Are you able to take on more work? We are working on a pet ecommerce store and need to build up related social media accounts. The big one we need help with is Pinterest. It would be probably a couple of hours a week. Let me know and what your hourly rate is now. I also will find out how to turn off work view. You do good work. Thanks! rosie
Another Month of Social Media Account Management for FB, Twitter & G+
Hello Melissa, We would like to continue for another month of newbeginningsdrugrehab.org's social account maintenance like you did for the previous project. The 3 accounts to manage are Twitter, Facebook and Google+. You already have the access information. The focus this month will be to continue obtaining followers, Likes, +1's both for all the social accounts and website pages. We also need others linking to and sharing out our content from the website to increase exposure and SE ranking signals. If there is any way we can add more effort to producing this effect would be greatly appreciated as we want to get those numbers WAY higher. Under NO circumstances are automated tools to be used or Likes/Followers 'bought'. Everything must be manually done with real people and accounts. I assume the same rate paid on the same schedule as before is agreeable ($87.67 per week)? Let us know if you have any questions.
Adwords Expert For Account Management
I am looking for an experienced adwords expert to audit and optimize one adwords campaign that has 6 weeks of history. I am looking to increase conversions and lower CPAs. This will involve adding/removing keywords, cleaning up the structure, rewriting ads and giving advice on how to improve the landing page QS where appropriate. Device, location, and schedule bidding also welcomed. I understand you can not give an accurate bid until you understand details of the campaign so please just put in a placeholder bid in to show your interest. We can then discuss fees once I give you details of the account etc. Thanks Andrew

Russian IT Outsourcing Industry Outlook: Opportunities, Competencies, Venues for Development The report on the Russian segment of IT-outsourcing continues the series of research publications on the peculiarities of national ecosystems of innovations in the BRICS countries. (The series opened with the work of Dr. Vinod K. Jaine on IT – outsourcing in India and China). The report reviews the segment in the broader context of IT industry and argues that Russia hold a position which is rather unusual for an "emerging market". Russian companies have succeeded in development some world-class finished software products and quite often they act as purchasers, not suppliers of IT-services on the international market.

Microcredit in Russia: on the eve of a boom or a crisis? The report highlights the Russian market of microcredits in the global context. With the increasing economic turbulence in Russia the issue takes increasing importance as microcrediting is an effective vehicle of financing the development of economy through stimulation of small and micro-enterprise. The report argues that a two-tier architecture of the market involving the banks and specialized organizations can be most effective based on the international experience. Read more

Developing country governments will need to spend $4 trillion dollars in the upcoming decades.

In 2012 the SKOLKOVO Institute for Emerging Market Studies (SIEMS) released its first Index of Soft Power, examining an increasingly popular concept in the context of emerging economies. As shown earlier, in the intervening time since it was published, the performance of various countries has changed relative to others, causing a change in the rankings. However, from an analytical standpoint, the more important change that has occurred over the past two years has been an evolution in the thinking about soft power and what it encapsulates. As international attention toward the concept has increased, so too has the understanding both... Read more

Vin Diesel says his meeting with Marvel wasn't initially about "Guardians of the Galaxy" – it was about doing something different altogether.
The muscle-bound hero of the "Fast and Furious" movies tells The Hollywood Reporter that he had been speaking with the studio about headlining a movie that would come out in 2016. But that, he discovered when he went to Comic Con, might be too long a wait for fans. Instead, Diesel and Marvel realized he might be able to fit in a fun 'voice' role sooner.
"With my schedule, it was almost impossible to imagine I could do anything immediate," says the busy actor. "I guess after they watched Iron Giant, or whatever, they came up with this idea of taking the strangest Marvel character — or the strangest Marvel character that's ever hit film — and thought what I could do with that with motion capture and with my voice," he said.
Diesel, promoting "Riddick", said the other film he had been speaking to Marvel about was going to be about a new intellectual property. Anyone's guess what that was… maybe "Luke Cage"?

O'Reilly eBay Hacks book is out, with an intro by me!
eBay makes us all into participants in the market again. It's no coincidence that eBay's first great wave of participation came from the collectibles trade. The collectibles market occurs at the intersection of luck (discovering a piece at a yard-sale or thrift shop), knowledge (recognizing its value), market-sense (locating a buyer for the goods) and salesmanship (describing the piece's properties attractively). It requires little startup capital and lots of smarts, something that each of us possess in some measure.Link
Somewhere, in the world's attics and basements, are all the treasures of history. Someone is using the Canopic jar containing Queen Nefertiti's preserved spleen as an ashtray. Someone is using George Washington's false teeth as a paperweight. Somewhere, a mouse is nibbling at a frayed carton containing the lost gold of El Dorado. A Yahoo! for junk would never break even: you simply couldn't source enough crack junque ninjas to infiltrate and catalog the world's storehouses of *tchotchkes*, white elephants and curios.
And just as Napster found the cheapest way to get all the music online, eBay has found the most cost-effective means of cataloging the world's attics and basements. It's attic-Napster, and it's spread the cost and effort around. When you spy a nice casino ashtray on the 25-cent shelf at Thrift Town and snap its pic and put it up on eBay, and when the renowned collector of glass ashtrays, ColBatGuano, bids it up to $400, you have taken part in a market transaction that has simultaneously catalogued a nice bit of bric-a-brac and moved it to a collection where it will be lovingly cared for -- and you've left a record of where it is and what it was worth when last we saw it. Buried in eBay's backup tapes is a Blue Book with the last known value of nearly every object we have ever created as a species, from Trinitite (green, faintly radioactive glass fused at the detonation of the first nuclear explosion at Los Alamos, $2.59 a gram at last check) to commodity 40-gigabyte laptop hard-drives ($30 at press-time and falling fast).
10 techs that deserve to die
Most loathsome of all is the fiendish spam hard-burned into DVDs, which forces one to suffer through the commercials gratefully evaded by videotape fast-forwards. The Content Scrambling System copy protection scheme doesn't work, and the payoff for pirating DVDs is massive, because unlike tapes, digital data don't degrade with reproduction. So DVDs have the downside of piracy and organized crime, without the upside of free, simple distribution. Someday they will stand starkly revealed for what they really are: collateral damage to consumers in the entertainment industry's miserable, endless war of attrition with digital media.Link (via Kottke)

Mild-mannered spam victim strikes back
One week later, the spammer struck again, using Markley's domain. Five days after the second attack, the spammer struck yet again. Thousands of bounce reports and hate e-mails arrived in Markley's inbox. And Earthlink reps told Markley they could do nothing to help him. So "blood boiling, furious and literally foaming at the mouth," Markley set out to track the spammer down. (...)Link
Markley checked the headers on the original spam returned with some of the bounces. Then he learned how to access domain-registry information and how to use a trace-route program. Over the next two weeks, he painstakingly worked his way through a half-dozen hijacked servers and a dozen spoofed e-mail addresses and bogus identities to find "his" spammer. "Last Thursday, at around 7 p.m., I finally knew without a doubt that my nemesis was Eddy Marin, who has a reputation as the world's most prolific spammer," said Markley.

Why grossout photos online should make you smile
They die over and over on continuous loop, the journalist's throat slashed again and again, the bank robber blown up by the bomb locked to his body time after time. The graphic video and still images of dead and dying people that mainstream news organizations choose not to display inevitably find their way to the Internet, where they can't be killed. Some can be legally challenged, but even if a site is shut down, the image rarely goes away.Link (via politech)
And there's a vigorous argument over whether instant access to such images is good or bad: Are they examples of stomach-turning excess or honest depictions of a disturbing world? There's little disagreement, however, over the Internet's role in eroding the mainstream media's reign as gatekeeper -- the media's decisions to withhold images from their viewers no longer mean viewers won't see those images
Invasion of the high-tech body snatchers
"The current popular fixation on clones, or science fiction's obsession with cyborgs, does not provide useful paradigms for the new forms of sentience that will ultimately emerge from nanotechnology. Both clones and cyborgs are too anthropomorphic. Ultimately, the future will not be about mixing humanity and technology but about sentient chemistry. Just as the revolution in quantum physics laid the foundation for the creation of weapons capable of vaporizing the planet, so the nanotechnology revolution is laying the foundation for the end of evolution and of life in any form we can imagine."Link (thanks, Stephen Hill)
"A recognition of the ethical implications of bioengineering should have followed logically from the ethical questions raised by genetic engineering. But somewhere in our human hearts we apparently need to believe that, even in a cyborg, there will be a border where biology starts and technology ends -- a plug, a slot, an interface. That, unfortunately, is a fantasy. Silicon and carbon are perfectly happy to bond on the molecular level. DNA has no mandate from any deity that gives it an eternal role as the information storage system of sentience. Homo technicus will be different at the atomic level. We are not only going through the looking glass; we are merging with it."
FBI invokes Patriot Act against reporters covering Adrian Lamo case

FBI Agent Christine Howard states in the criminal complaint against Lamo that she gained information about Lamo's New York Times break-in from articles published by Securityfocus.com, Newsbytes (a Washington Post web site), the Associated Press, MSNBC.com, ComputerWorld.com and the San Francisco Weekly. Several reporters from these and other organizations have received requests from the FBI to retain all records relating to their contact with Lamo. Howard, part of the Cybercrime Task Force in the New York field office, told Wired News that "all reporters who spoke with Lamo" should expect similar letters.

Study says RIAA lawsuits have decreased P2P downloads
Since the last week of June, traffic to the largest network, Kazaa, fell 41 percent to 3.9 million visitors during the week ending Sept. 21. Similar drops in usage were recorded for BearShare and IMesh networks. "The RIAA is clearly sending a strong message to American Web users and the message appears to be working," said Greg Bloom, senior Internet analyst at Nielsen/NetRatings (NTRT: news, chart, profile). "With hundreds of individuals facing real lawsuits, the threat to music file sharers is serious." Usage of popular file-sharing applications is at an all-time low, he added.Link

WiFi wants to be free
Intel's free networking day benefitted free networks: in hindsight, it seems obvious that the biggest beneficiary for publicity for free wireless will be free wireless networks. Still, the stats are compelling:
...the Starbucks in downtown Portland had 40 unique logins while Portland's free Personal Telco hot spot downtown had 176 unique logins.Hotspot suppliers are offering competing packages for cafes that want to offer free wireless, including one that claims to "stop spam" (??). It's not clear to me, though, why a cafe that wants to give away free WiFi needs a "managed" solution (which requires that you depend on a tech-support queue for problems) that costs $300 when the "unmanaged" solution (a regular access-point, which can be "fixed" by turning it off and on) costs $40.
The moral of the story: Free WiFi is really, really free. Or at least cheap. The brisk market in WiFi gear, combined with the commodity nature of packets, makes it hard to engineer the kinds of market-failures in WiFi that represent gigantic marginal profit opportunities.

P2P Legal defense fund downhillbattle.org launches
We think the major label lawsuits are just intimidation followed by extortion: the record companies scare people with a suit for hundreds of thousands of dollars and then offer a settlement for 4 or 5 thousand. The cost of fighting is so high that even if you think you're innocent, it's cheaper to settle. (...)Link to web site, Link to related NYT story, (via pho list)
The Defense Fund actually runs on a peer-to-peer model: rather than collecting the donations centrally and then later distributing them, we use PayPal accounts so that donations go directly to people that have been sued and have signed up on our system. Our open-source software tracks donations and presents the person with the least donations so far to receive the next contribution-- money gets spread out evenly over time, without a middleman. We think it's a cool system and a good political response.
We hope it will give some people the ability to fight and will help alleviate some of the financial damage to the families that have to settle, people are seriously talking about taking out second mortgages or not being able to afford college tuition. From a political standpoint, if we can take away the damage, then the lawsuit scare strategy doesn't work as well.
Cramer disses Disney's MovieBeam
No more devices. Sorry, I don't want still one more device attached to my television set. And I certainly don't want to pay for it. Yet, there goes Disney (DIS:NYSE) , offering Operation MovieBeam, under which you can add a device to your television that costs you money every day so you won't have to pay late fees at Blockbuster. Huh? Who thinks about this stuff? Who creates it? And at what point do companies stop dreaming about the wonders of video on demand? (...)Link
My prediction: There's a $100 million write-off headed Disney's way. This venture reminds me so much of those Disney ventures I was involved during the dot-com period. Everything they touched turned to stone. They had no feel for the marketplace or for what consumers wanted. It's just amazing how bad they are.

Disney's Utopian EPCOT in an academic book
Written by a professor of Urban Planning, the book seems to have been written from the perspective of utopianism in urban design, with Walt as a kind of Bizarro-world Jane Jacobs. This is a subject that's always fascinated me -- the idea of a top-to-bottom Disney-mediated utopian community. There was a generation of Americna entrepreneurs who dreamed of these things -- Ford reportedly built planned communities in Brazil called "Fordlandia" where he subjected his rubber-plantation workers to his utopian vision (which included the banning of the local booze in favor of Tom Collinses, which were inherently Utopian in Ford's eyes).

In general, there are two main approaches filmmakers can take to a time travel story. The first is to dive headlong into the logistics and consequences of trips back and forth in time, merrily twisting the audience's mind into knots by piling potential paradox on top of potential paradox (see movies like Primer, Back to the Future, Part II and the sorely underseen Spanish import Timecrimes). The other is to use time travel as a device to set the story in motion and introduce potential plot complications without sweating the details too much (see Back to the Future parts 1 and 3, Time Bandits and Midnight in Paris). In its early scenes, Rian Johnson's new action picture Looper seems like it's going to be the first kind of time travel yarn, but then switches over to the second. Since I'm the odd soul that prefers Back to the Future, Part II over the original -- few would probably rank the third one as their favorite -- I have to admit to being a little disappointed by Looper's change of heart. But credit where credit's due: Johnson has crafted a smart, inventive piece of mainstream entertainment that will likely find the kind of wide audience more cultish time travel movies like Primer didn't.
Even though Johnson doesn't make time travel the focus of the narrative, he has clearly put a lot of thought into how it functions within the movie's universe, not to mention the details of the universe itself. Looper unfolds in the year 2044, when America still exists as the "United States of..." but it has definitely seen better days. Poverty and homelessness are on the rise and the once-grand skyscrapers and apartment buildings seem in need of major repair. The only individuals who seem to have a steady income are the "loopers," an army of Mob-employed assassins who carry out very specialized hits. Thirty years from now, time travel will become a reality, but the technology will be closely controlled by the big crime bosses. In order to avoid the messy complications of killing their enemies in 2074, the Mob will simply port them back to 2044, where the loopers immediately blow them away and burn the bodies, thus erasing any evidence from the timestream. One of these hitmen is Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a steely-eyed youngster who takes a little too much pleasure in his work. That changes when he experiences the dark side of his chosen profession. See, when the Mob chooses to end a looper's contract they initiate a process to "close the loop" -- sending the guy's 2074 self in time for execution. Once they've literally killed their own futures, the loopers are free to live out their remaining 30 years in style, albeit all the while knowing exactly when and how they're going to die.
Like every looper, 2044 Joe isn't given any advance warning as to when he'll be closing his loop. And when that day arrives and he finds himself staring into the eyes of 2074 Joe (played by Bruce Willis), he hesitates for a crucial second, giving his older, better-trained self the chance to fight back and make a getaway. Obviously, letting your target (especially when that target is yourself) get away is a no-no in looper culture and both versions of Joe instantly become marked men with their old crew, led by grizzled gangster, Abe (Jeff Daniels). Eventually, the two sit down for a conversation in a diner (a scene that, it must be said, seems to take its inspiration from the epic Al Pacino/Robert De Niro face-off in Heat) and the central conflict is established. Young Joe needs Old Joe dead so that he can stay alive to become Old Joe; meanwhile, Old Joe is on a mission to kill the man that will be responsible for the death of somebody he loves dearly thirty years from now -- a man who in 2044 is still a child. Since neither Joe is willing to accede to the other one's wishes, the stage is set for a battle that will have major ramifications for the future as well as the present.
If your eyes glazed over a bit while reading all that, don't worry -- it plays much more smoothly onscreen. Johnson gets much of the expository heavy lifting out of the way in the first ten minutes courtesy of some handy voiceover narration, a device that's an easy shortcut to be sure, but it does efficiently establish all the crucial particulars of how time travel works in this future. And once Young Joe and Old Joe are set on their collision course, the rest of the movie clips along nicely without any dead spots where the characters are forced to explain what's happening to the audience. The narrative itself comes to resemble its own loop, winding its way to a conclusion that also functions as a beginning. (For a movie that begins like Terminator, the final act owes a greater debt to Twelve Monkeys.) Beyond the pleasures offered by Johnson's well-paced narrative and eye for detail (one running visual motif throughout the film is his use of a single light source in several key scenes, a subtle way of suggesting that a lack of power is another one of the future's many problems), the movie also contains yet another great star turn by Gordon-Levitt, who replicates Willis's glower and smirk with such precision, he could launch a whole separate career as a celebrity impersonator. (Also deserving of praise, as usual, is Emily Blunt, whose character I left out of the plot synopsis since getting into her deal would involve giving away a big chunk of the movie.)
At the same time, Johnson does make a few missteps that for me at least keep Looper from realizing the full extent of its potential. For example, I could have down with fewer scenes involving Abe's esteem-challenged henchman, Kid Blue (Noah Segen), a bland heavy who is only kept alive to be serve as the requisite wild card in the climax. (It's a shame that this role wasn't assumed by Garret Dillahunt, who has a small part as another enforcer that briefly crosses Young Joe's path. In his brief bit of screentime, he establishes a far more compelling presence than Segen.) And while Johnson does a good job making time travel work within this universe, he lets a subplot involving telekinesis -- which a certain segment of the population has developed -- slip away from him somewhat. It's an added wrinkle to the movie that feels as though it could be exploited in more interesting ways. And again, in the final moments, I was hoping for one more time travel related twist that would change up what to me seemed like a fairly obvious conclusion. Regardless of these minor quibbles, Looper remains one of the year's most enjoyable major studio releases. It's just a shame that a smart, thoughtful movie like this is all too often the exception to mainstream sci/fi action fare rather than the rule.

Boxer Dogs can make good pets in Iowa if they match your IifestyIe. Boxer dogs are energetic, playful and intelligent animals, they like to clown around a lot and will keep you laughing. Boxers learn new things quickly, and, at the same time, can be clever and stubborn. Boxer dogs bond well with a family, are very affectionate and get along well with children. Boxers need a lot of exercise, and will be well-behaved as long as they are taken on long walks every day. If kept confined without a lot of exercise, however, boxer dogs can become destructive. Boxers require lots of human companionship and should never be left alone for long periods of time.

Bear River (7-4) at Desert Hills (7-3)
3A state tournament quarterfinal
Friday, 5 p.m.
Parry's Power Guide: Desert Hills by 24
All-time series: Desert Hills leads Bear River, 1-0
Coach vs. coach: First meeting between Bear River's Chris Wise and Desert Hills' Carl Franke
Last meeting: Oct. 30, 2010 (3A first round) — Desert Hills 15, Bear River 14 (OT)
The Bear River football team is treating its upcoming road trip to Desert Hills like a business trip.
"That's exactly what it is," said Bear River coach Chris Wise. "We will take our time getting down there, keep it as normal as we can to keep focus — just like any other away game."
The Bears are headed south for the 3A quarterfinals after defeating Wasatch, 36-6, in the first round of the playoffs last weekend.
Kyle Zundel sparked the Bears in that victory, accumulating 283 total yards and three touchdowns.
"Kyle was outstanding in that game," Wise said. "He stepped up big time."
The coach added, "A lot of that was because of Jeramie Selman. Teams have to respect him."
Selman added another 164 yards and a touchdown in the win over Wasatch, and the Bears are leaning on him as they turn their focus to the Thunder.
"We know they are a strong team," Wise said of Desert Hills. "We know they bring a lot of heat defensively, that we have to be prepared for the blitz."
At the same time, the Thunder is getting ready for what it anticipates will be a very hard-hitting contest.
"I feel it will be a very physical game," said Desert Hills coach Carl Franke. "We are getting prepared for a hard-fought battle in the trenches."
The Thunder is coming off a one-sided victory over Payson, 48-21, and is led by the play of Ty Rutledge.
"Ty has been playing fantastic for us all year," Franke said of the senior quarterback. "He has been doing a great job for us on both sides of the ball. He is someone we rely on heavily for our offense."
In front of Rutledge is an offensive line of underclassmen.
"We start two juniors, two sophomores and a freshman," Franke said, "and they have played well with that youth."
The Desert Hills defense has allowed the fewest points in the region, and Franke attributed it to the caliber of the Region 9 foes. One game in particular — the triple overtime win over Hurricane — taught the Thunder lessons that carry over into tournament play.
"We came away from that game knowing that if we keep battling, if we keep pushing through adversity, good things will happen," Franke said.
"Bear River has our full attention," he added. "And we are just excited for an opportunity to play in this round."
Bear River statistical breakdown
Scoring offense: 30.8 ppg
Scoring defense: 18.5 ppg
Passing leader: Kyle Zundel (114-223, 51.1%, 1,723 yards, 19 TDs, 10 INTs)

Slice and Bake Spelt Coconut Sugar Cookies
I enjoy drinking tea. Any tea really. All the wondrous properties of each herb aside, I think there is something soothing about the whole process of tea drinking. That sense of quiet peace that comes with taking some time out of the day to yourself, or with a friend. As soothing as tea drinking is, I often find myself too worked up to stop what I'm doing and relax for cup of tea. Which comes first? Does the tea bring peace? Or does feeling peaceful in yourself allow you to fully enjoy a cup of tea? Some part of me longs for the sense of peace that will allow me to be there and enjoy a cup of tea. Maybe these cookies will help?
I took my favourite coconut oil shortbread recipe by River and switched up the flour and sugar for spelt flour and coconut sugar. These cookies are a lot darker than the original so I decided not to call them shortbread, they deserve a name of their own. The coconut sugar gives them a deep caramel flavour which I find irresistible. The texture is slightly different to regular shortbread, they are slightly crispier and firmer to bite, while still having that crumbly, buttery goodness.
Just a note, these aren't your regular sweet shortbread cookies. If you want sweet cookies, increase the sugar to maybe 50g or 1/3 cup.
Time for tea, I think.
- 105g (1/2 cup) coconut oil, at room temperature (soft but solid)
- 45g (1/4 cup) powdered coconut sugar (see note for how to make your own)
- 2 tablespoons water, divided
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 165g (1+1/4 cup) spelt flour
- Make the powdered sugar (see note)
- If the coconut oil is rock solid, place it in a warm spot to soften up. If it is liquid, chill it until it firms up.
- Cream the coconut oil until light and fluffy, about three minutes. I placed the coconut oil in a bowl and used a stick blender on high to do this but you can use any mixer.
- Add the powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon water and salt to the creamed coconut oil and keep mixing on high until it is evenly fluffy and creamy.
- Add the flour to the creamed mixture and stir in with a wooden spoon. The dough shouldn't be wet and sticky or dry and crumbly. It will be smooth like play dough. Add an extra tablespoon of water if the dough is crumbly. Use your fingers to incorporate the last of the flour if you need to.
- Place the mixture on parchment paper large enough to cover the log of dough. Shape the dough into a log (I made mine about 3.5cm/1.5 inches in diameter) and wrap the parchment paper tightly around the dough. I closed the ends with elastic bands and placed the whole thing in a large bag to prevent it from drying out while chilling.
- Chill the dough log in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. The dough can be chilled for longer, so you can make the dough a few days before you plan to bake.
- Preheat the oven to 175C (350F)
- Take out the dough log and make sure it is firm enough to slice. Slice the log into 8mm (1/3 inch) slices and place them on a baking sheet.
- Bake on a high oven rack (to prevent burnt bottoms) until the cookies just begin to brown around the edges, about 18 minutes. Place the cookies on a cooling rack and let them cool completely. They will be soft when they come out of the oven but will firm up when cool.
- Store cookies in a jar or an airtight container.

A recurring problem and chore for swimming pool maintenance workers and for pool owners is the task of detecting and correcting the chemical balance of swimming pool water. Large commercial pools may have permanent testing equipment in circulating lines not economically possible for owners of smaller pools like those found in the average household. Acidity must be determined along with chlorine level to insure that pool water is kept free from bacteria and algae and yet safe for human eyes and skin and hair. Accurate small instruments to determine swimming pool water acidity or "Ph", and chlorine concentration are essential to know how much corrective chemical or additive is needed.
I have invented a small, hand-held device of great accuracy and sensitivity that may be carried in one hand to probe for the required concentrations from the edge of the swimming pool.
The invention contemplates a hand-held sensor for detecting swimming pool water acidity and chlorine concentration and comprises a sensor case, an extendible hand-held probe with dual elements, a probe holster on a side of the case and ion meters within the case. Also contained in the case are meter scales for both functions that are visible from outside the case, a potentiometer to calibrate the meters, a D.C. power source and a flexible electrical cable connecting between the probe and the components within the case.
The case may be plastic and made in two mirror halves joined after assembly with the electrical components and ultra-sonically welded together. The D. C. source may be 1.5 volt battery as used commercially in a great variety of tools, toys and games.
The invention has the advantage of accuracy enhanced by the alloy probe tips and is portable, self-powered for use anywhere. The invention is easy to manufacture, use and store and the power source may be easily replaced as needed.
These and other advantages of the invention are apparent from the following detailed description and drawing.
FIG. 1 is a top plan view of the sensor of the invention with the probe thereof removed from the case holster;
FIG. 2 is a front elevational view thereof with the probe shown fragmentarily linked thereto by a broken line electrical cord;
FIG. 3 is a right side elevational view thereof with the probe fully shown and shown in the case holster in broken lines;
FIG. 4 is a fragmentary bottom plan view of the sensor case;
FIG. 5 is a rear elevational view of the sensor case showing the rear case half removed to shown the sensor interior parts;
FIG. 6 is a fragmentary rear elevational view of the sensor case battery holder handle;
FIG. 7 is a combined electrical diagram of the meter testing circuit of the pool water sensor;
FIG. 8 is an electrical diagram of the acidity detecting circuit of the sensor as taken from FIG. 7; and
FIG. 9 is an electrical diagram of the chlorine concentration sensor circuit as taken from FIG. 7.
In the drawing like parts are referred to by like characters.
In FIGS. 1 through 6 a swimming pool sensor of pool water condition having a sensor case 11 with front and back molded halves 11A, 11B, is shown with a connected sensor probe 12. Sensor case 11, with its respective halves 11A, 11B, contains a sensing meter 14 (see FIG. 5) behind a transparent face 15 in front side or half 11A of the case, that the operator looks through to read meter scales 17 and 18. The scales show graphically how the meter 14 perceives the acidity, and the chlorine levels, respectively, of the swimming pool water into which the probe unit of the sensor is thrust after the sensor probe is manually extended from a case holster 21 open at top and bottom. The case is preferably molded from plastic in two parts (11A and 11B) that may be joined following assembly with the meter and potentiometer 23 and probe cord 25. Potentiometer adjustment knob 24 is visible in FIGS. 1 through 5.
As can be seen from FIG. 2, a hang tab 26 with an horizontal aperture 27 affords means for hang storage of the sensor where convenient, like near to the swimming pool. Also, a battery door 29 in back half 11B of the sensor case 11 (FIG. 6) provides for access to the battery clip 31 to change batteries when needed. In FIG. 5 it is apparent the blank wall 11C and the battery door each are part of rear half 11B of the sensor case, thus deviating from the mirror image of the front case half. The front half 11A also has a lower panel 34 of parallel horizontal ridges 35 that may be ornamental but serve also as a gripping surface for the user. The ridges are seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, with each ridge adding to grip area 36 that may be impressed at the time sensor case 11 is molded or otherwise formed. Ridges as gripper extend nearly across the width of a battery chamber portion 37 of the sensor case 11.
In FIG. 2 the sensor probe 12 is shown outside of case holster 21 and probe cord 25 can be seen to run from the bottom of battery chamber portion 37 to a coiled section 25B (FIG. 3), with the end of the probe cord entering a probe head 38, within which it contacts two anchored parallel probe elements 41, 42. The probe cord is of two sheathed cables that act as electrical connectors. The parallel elements, preferably of aluminum, normally extend about 125 mm. below the probe head, that is about 50 mm. long, itself. The case holster 21 must therefore be placed on the case to accommodate a probe length of about 175 mm.
Each probe element 41, 42 terminates in a tip 44 (shown in FIGS. 2 and 3) of alloy metal. The alloy is best suited electrically to the meter employed if made from aluminum, lead and silver, with a preponderance of aluminum. Cord 25, being a double strand, is easily connected to the elements within the probe head. With the coiled section providing extension, the operator may reach to immerse the probe elements into the swimming pool water without wetting the sensor case, and observe at close range the sensor readings resulting from the wetted elements. The probe cord 25 enters the sensor probe case by way of an entry port 46 (shown in FIG. 5) formed in each case half when the case is molded, the port being at the middle of the bottom of the battery chamber portion 37.
While the illustrative embodiment shows a 11/2 volt battery dry cell in place in the circuit the invention does not preclude a preferable 9 volt cell in the same place-clip 31. Simple alteration of door 29 and battery clip 31 easily accommodate the sensor of the invention to long lasting, readily obtainable 9 volt cells, without diverging from the spirit of the invention. Also, similar modifications may be made in the housing and even meters to accept multiple cells as desired, without appreciably affecting the operation of the pool water sensor.
The sensor, as shown schematically in FIG. 7 is a combined circuit for separately determining acidity and chlorine level in a pool of water. FIG. 7 shows the circuit for determining the acidity and chlorine level meter functions and is comprised of electrical leads 51, 52 from the probe head 38 which connects with one end of a 45K ohm resistor 55 which is the resistor of the potentiometer 23 and to one end of a 1K ohm resistor 54, the other end of resistor 54 connects with the opposite end of resistor 55. Resistor 55 is variable by means of a tap 24 that leads to the positive side of a meter 14 while the negative side of the meter is in parallel with the other resistor 54. Both resistors are in parallel with battery 31A held in battery clip 31. A switch 65 intervenes between the battery and probe lead 51 and is ganged with resistor tap 24 so that when the switch 65 is open, the tap 24 is at the end 71 of resistor 55 as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. When the switch is closed, the tap is adjustable along the resistor 55 as shown in FIG. 9.
The circuit as seen in FIG. 8 has been carved from the circuit shown in FIG. 7 and is for detecting the acidity or pH level of the pool water into which the sensor probe is placed. FIG. 9 shows schematically a circuit which has been carved from FIG. 7 and is for detecting the chlorine level of the pool water. The acidity sensitivity of the illustrated circuit is variable from between a pH of 1 to pH 9. The chlorine detection is capable of sensing from 0 through 35 PPM, in terms of parts per million of chlorine ions.
In FIG. 8 electrical leads 51, 52 connect respectively, to resistors 55 and 54 with values of values of 45KΩ and 1KΩ, linked in parallel between the probe leads and meter 14. A variable tap 24 on resistor 55 is connected to the positive side of meter 14 and an electrical lead 75 joins resistor 54 to the negative side of meter 14. The circuit as shown reads correctly the electrical flow or conductivity between probe tips 44 in the pool water, for pH.
FIG. 9 similarly shows the circuit for sensing the presence of chlorine ions in the pool water. The circuit includes linkage to battery 31A, placed in parallel between probe lead 51 and the adjacent ends of the resistors 54 and 55. The variable resistor 55 in FIG. 9 has a value of 45KΩ, as is needed with the employed meter to measure electrical flow related to chlorine level in the pool water.
In operation of the device for measuring acidity or PH, the probes 41, 42 are placed in the water and due to the charged ions produced due to the acid, an electrical current is generated which causes the meter to register. The scale of the PH meter has been graduated according to acidity so that when the meter registers a reading which is viewed on the scale, chemicals may be added if necessary to bring the water up to the proper acidity. In measuring for chlorine content, the adjustable knob 24' is rotated toward chlorine as indicated on the housing, FIG. 1, and the probe is inserted into the water. The battery produces current for movement of the meter in accordance with the parts per million of chlorine in the water. Thus, the single meter having two scales and two separate circuits may be used for determining acidity or PH, as well as chlorine.
The invention accomplishes the function of uniquely combining smooth, attractive appearance with the values functionally of easy use, visibility and maintenance, in a package that lends itself to mass production at a cost surprisingly low in view of the accuracy of the measurements obtained. With the ease of a separable probe, an outside indicator and a thumb control use is simplified.
The foregoing description and drawing are to be regarded as illustrative only. Many variations may occur to those skilled in this particular art within the scope of the invention. It is therefore desired that the invention be measured by the attached claims to invention rather than the illustrative material herein.

Ignighter problem with Weber or Dukane Gas Grill
etbrown4May 4, 2014
Ignitor Problem with Weber or Dukane Grill-
I have the 3 or 4 position Electronic Box with battery, it's arcing between the output terminals
and I replaced the box!
I can get 2 of the 3 igniters to spark but not the 3rd.
I have full electrical continuity, or 0 ohms of resistance on that 3rd line. and I am reading out to the tip of the igniter.
These units have basically a high tension, specially insulated wire, almost like a small engine spark plug wire.
Anyone had a problem like this or replaced on of these wires or weber or dukane igniters?

The scent of this wine is worth the price of admission, a combination of sage, sun and wet rock, of forest pines and dark red fruit. It reminded Wolfgang Weber, one of our panelists, of hiking in the North Coast, "in the morning, when the sun burns off the dew and picks up the scents of plant resins." The fragrance may round the wine in the Napa Valley hills, but the texture is pure benchland, about as silky as a wine can be...a deliciously plump Zinfandel, the kind of dynamic red wine that proves Napa Valley's greatness.
(2/ 2014)
High alcohol gives this wine peppery heat and a mouthwatering savoriness. The flavors, though, are all Zinfandel, suggesting ripe wild blackberries, currants and dark chocolate. It will pair well with smoky, sweetly-sauced barbecued ribs and chicken.
(3/ 2014)
Best known for their Zin, the Hendry family has been farming in Napa since 1939. Their Block 7 and Block 22 were planted in 1975 and 1995 respectively. Located on bench lands west of the town of Napa, this nine-acre block is between 230 and 300 feet above sea level and has thin, stony Boomer series soils. The maritime climate is moderated by morning fog and strong afternoon breezes from San Pablo Bay.
