Pool cover and safety fence question
Hi, we are in the process of a fall/spring build in the Boston area and I'm trying to make some decisions on a pool cover and safety fence. I understand from reading some previous posts that loop loc makes a great cover, and a safety fence, but I just learned that they do not use the same size holes for their anchors, so I'm wondering if anyone out there knows of a cover/fence that can use the same holes for their anchors/fencing tubes? It's probably wishful thinking, but my fingers are crossed. thanks in advance! Marta
marta p,
You will most likely have trouble finding this combo. The cover anchors are designed to be close to the edge of the pool and the fencing anchors are placed near the back edge of the deck so the pool can used with the fence up.
You can get plugs to cover the anchors.
Cover holes are typically too close to a pool's edge to allow fun things like walk by someone, vacuuming and other pole work, etc... just as my friend, golfgeek has mentioned.
Fence hole placement is a much tighter tolerance requirement. A safety cover's hole may be placed a couple inches in any direction from the ideal spot as well as permitting the hole to be slightly less than vertical where fences not only must be placed at a specific distance, but usually must be perfectly vertical.
Additionally, when using Baby-Loc with fiberglass poles, a slight lean in or out may be appropriate on curves. To do this properly, a core drill and torpedo level are needed to get the angle desired and the feet of the drill stand all making contact with the deck. This is a time consuming task, especially with paver decks or stamped concrete, where the deck level is different every time you move the drill stand. Drill stands have bolts for feet that get adjusted. Grass is a real PITA to get right and is not, IMHO, a real good surface for a removable fence to be set on.
There is a lot more installer skill needed for the fence to be done correctly than for a cover. Fences depend on tension and gentle curves for strength and appearance. A sloppy fence will have waves or be too hard to connect each section to the next.
There I go again, rambling on. Sorry.
The grass will be problematic for any brand of removable fence because the ground tends to have hidden undulations and rocks that divert a stabilizing pipe used to hold the ground level receiver used to hold the fence's verticals from being vertical or at a desired pitch. Waviness and ground level gaps often appear. Don't think it's just Baby-Loc. Its true for any of these barrier fences. If a salesman tells you otherwise, he is lying.
Pavers are not a problem to a skilled installer. A slightly larger hole is drilled and a 15" pipe is sunk to stabilize the socket that the vertical goes in.

The beautiful sunset taken at the Gem Island Sport Complex in Emmett, Idaho with Squaw Butte is in the background. Many families were gathering for the big Fourth Of July firework event. Squaw Butte is one of the most prominent peaks in the Treasure Valley. Although Shaffer Butte (Bogus Basin Ski Area) and Lucky Peak stand taller, Squaw is the most striking ridgeline if viewed from the south or east (viewed from the Boise area). The Squaw Butte Ridge is about 8 miles long, runs generally north to south, and has a steep eastern front that rises from about 2500 feet near Sweet and Ola, Idaho to 5500-5800 along the top of the ridge. If viewed from the south or east, it appears that the Squaw Butte ridge is a separate or island-like...

Spring 2014 Critical Race Theory SeminarPosted November 25th, 2013 by Timothy S. Hall
Professor Powell has asked that the following course description for the Spring 2014 seminar in Critical Race Theory be made available to students.
"Critical Race Theory ("CRT") questions the very foundations of the liberal order, including equality theory, legal reasoning, Enlightenment rationalism, and neutral principles of constitutional law." Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic, CRITICAL RACE THEORY: AN INTRODUCTION 3 (NYU Press 2001). Advancing an interdisciplinary approach to critique the law and its role in preserving structural inequality, CRT focuses on analyzing several recurrent themes in the law: (i) interest convergence (the concept that any "progess" on racial issues is purely the product of whether it contributes to the status quo of inequality); (ii) revisionist history (a critique of how history has been de-contextualized to advance a distorted historical narrative of America's racial progress); (iii) colorblindness and post-racialism (a critique of "neutrality" and the role it plays in the maintenance of systemic subordination of people of color); and (iv) structural determinism (the proposition that racism is structural and adaptable so that societal change is incremental and limited). These principles will be applied and discussed in a variety of contexts.
UCC Sales—get it this spring while you can!Posted November 22nd, 2013 by Rebecca B. Wimberg

NCBE Releases a Fourth Online Practice ExamPosted November 15th, 2013 by Kimberly K. Ballard
Attention Students Taking a February 2014 or July 2014 Bar Exam:
Several years ago the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE) launched its Online Practice Exam (OPE) initiative - taking retired test MBE questions, having designated members of the test drafting committees write annotations explaining why each of the four options were correct or incorrect, and packaging the material in a 100-item format that simulates an actual half-day of MBE testing. A fourth OPE is now available. Please note the addition of a fourth OPE on the handout in your Bar Exam Folder that you received during the Candor Program on November 5.
Each of the four OPEs is offered on a subscription basis; that is, the individual student purchasing a subscription is entitled to revisit the content an unlimited number of times over the course of one year. Because the test is delivered online, it has interactive features that deliver useful feedback.
Authentic test preparation is available on the NCBE website at a modest cost of $50 per OPE.

Spitzer Space Telescope locates youngest solar systems
By Kyle Sherer
December 2, 2007
December 3, 2007 Infrared imaging technology on NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has been used to locate some of the youngest solar systems yet detected. Astronomers at the University of Michigan made the discovery when using the telescope to more closely observe gaps in protoplanetary disks of gas and dust surrounding the young stars UX Tau A and LkCa 15 in the Taurus star formation region.
Gaps in the protoplanetary disks were previously attributed to photoevaporation – the heating and subsequent evaporation of material. However, information gathered by the Spitzer Space Telescope has led researchers to believe these particular gaps are instead caused by infant planets sweeping areas clear of debris.
The infrared orbiting telescope observes energy at wavelengths invisible to optical telescopes, and allowed astronomers to study "pre-main sequence stars" in a deeper way. A main sequence star is an average adult star, like the sun, which burns by converting hydrogen into helium. Pre-main sequence stars like UX Tau A and LkCa 15 haven't yet established this conversion process. They derive energy from gravitational contraction. UX Tau A and LkCa 15 are both about one million years old. Our sun, for comparison, is a middle-aged star at 4.5 billion years old.
A paper on the findings by astronomy doctoral student Catherine Espaillat, professor Nuria Calvet, and their colleagues is published in the Dec. 1 issue of Astrophysical Journal Letters.
Professor Nuria Calvet at the University of Michigan said this research adds new insights to the study of solar systems. "We are looking for our history," Calvet said. "We are looking for the history of solar systems, trying to understand how they form." The paper which contains this research is called "On the Diversity of the Taurus Transitional Disks: UX Tau A & LkCa 15."
The US$800 million Spitzer Space Telescope was launched in 2003, and is the first observatory to capture light from extrasolar planets. It uses an Infrared Array Camera, an Infrared Spectrograph and a Multiband Imaging Photometer to gather data. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, manages the Spitzer Space Telescope mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate. Science operations are conducted at the Spitzer Science Center at the California Institute of Technology, also in Pasadena.Share

When you order a grouper sandwich, you don't want to bite into a fillet of Malaysian swai, ponga from Cambodia or farmed Indonesian sutchi.
Most people have never heard of those fish. They want Gulf of Mexico grouper.
But nine restaurants in Collier and south Lee counties were cited for selling something other than grouper as grouper in 2007 by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
There were 93 cases of fake grouper statewide in 2007, 45 percent of the year's 207 food misrepresentation complaints.
Meanwhile, the restaurateurs who pay higher prices to buy real grouper and the fishermen who travel 60 miles to 150 miles offshore to catch the fish are upset that some business owners aren't being honest with customers.
Restaurants serving food in Florida are inspected by the state agency about every six months. If there's grouper on the menu, inspectors expect there to be fish marked grouper in the refrigerator or freezer, and an invoice on file with grouper on the list of purchased products.
Most establishments that serve grouper in Collier and Lee aren't on the state agency's complaint list, so when inspectors visited in 2007, their grouper checked out.
But the fake grouper problem "has gotten worse" in recent years, said Alexis Antonacci, an agency spokeswoman. "... The supply of fresh grouper has gone down (and) it's become an increasingly popular thing to have on the menu."
The state has taken notice.
The Department of Business and Professional Regulation doubled the minimum fine for restaurants from $250 to $500 for a first offense, the state Attorney General is investigating nine distributors including Sysco Food Services that serves Southwest Florida and the Department of Agriculture has created a Web site with photos to help customers identify grouper.
Fishy Grouper
Dino's Restaurant at 1575 Pine Ridge Road in Naples had grouper on its lunch and dinner menus, but when the inspector visited in summer 2007, there was no grouper on site, according to the state agency's report. There was tilapia that was farm-raised in Honduras, and basa swai fillets from Vietnam; no grouper invoice was available.
The restaurant doesn't secretly substitute another fish for grouper, said Dino Redzic, its chef and owner.
If you'd sat down at Dino's that night for dinner and ordered grouper, the wait staff would have told you it wasn't available, he said.
The tilapia is used for a dinner special and the basa swai was for a lunch buffet, he said.
But rather than flying to Tallahassee to contest the agency's complaint, Redzic paid the fine and took grouper off his menu. He still stocks the fish in his freezer, but now it's only served as a special.
Grouper also was on the menu at AAA Cooney Island & Marios' Greek Gourmet at 9853 U.S. 41 North in Naples and manager Andy Shkurti thought they were ordering grouper, he said.
But when the agency inspector asked to see the proof, the box said pangasius fillets from Vietnam and the invoice said panga, the agency report said.
According to the report, the restaurant was cited twice.
"The vendors never explained that it was not grouper," said Shkurti, who does the ordering for the restaurant. "... It's not like we were doing it on purpose. We had no idea. We'd ask for another case of grouper. That's the way we'd order it."
Now, because of the problems, the restaurant has changed the menu to say "fish of the day."
It's just too expensive to buy grouper, Shkurti said.
Spanky's Speakeasy at 1550 Airport-Pulling Road was cited for having a grouper sandwich on the menu but no evidence of grouper in the coolers and no grouper invoice. Owner Jane Alander declined comment.
At Creekside Restaurant at 21131 Country Creek Drive in Estero and the Club at Longshore Lake at 11399 Phoenix Way in Naples, there has been a total turnover of staff since grouper complaints were filed, managers said.
Creekside Restaurant no longer serves grouper, said Richard Montoya, head chef.
The Club at Longshore Lake is careful to serve the real thing, said Sharon Murphy, general manager.
Attempts to reach owners and managers at Goldie's Restaurant, J D Jags Ribhouse & Grill, Olde Florida Gulf Club and the North Naples Rib City for comment were unsuccessful.
Meanwhile, because of complaints from restaurants in the Tampa-Bay area about vendors, the Florida Attorney General's office has subpoenaed nine distributors, including the national Sysco Food Services.
Sysco has complied with the Attorney General's efforts to clean up the industry, said Carl Cannova, Sysco president.
The company began its own random testing program about a year and a half ago, he said, and a few shipments received shortly after testing began turned out to be other fish. They were immediately sent back to the supplier.
"Never, never, did we ever knowingly sell something as grouper that wasn't grouper," Cannova said.
The Real Grouper
Buying grouper is like buying diamonds, said Rick McDonald, seafood buyer for Pinchers Crab Shack: you have to research the product and buy from a reputable source.
There are about 18 species of grouper in the Gulf of Mexico, including red, black, gag and the Goliath grouper, or jewfish, that can get as big as 1,000 pounds, said McDonald, who has been in the fishing business for about 35 years.
"Restaurants are trying to capitalize on grouper being the most popular fish down here. ...You can't tell me that any restaurant owner, any chef, doesn't know what he's buying," McDonald said. "It's all about making an extra dollar on their menu."
Black grouper, usually the most expensive kind, costs Pinchers about $11 a pound wholesale, McDonald said. The imported fish that gets substituted for grouper costs restaurants about $2.95 a pound.
"It's really difficult for the consumers to tell the difference once the fish is filleted," McDonald said. "... It's probably more important to deal with a reputable purveyor that's buying local fresh domestic products."
At Grouper & Chips, which has restaurants at 338 U.S. 41 N. in Naples and on Immokalee Road near NCH North Naples Hospital, fresh grouper arrives nearly every morning to be cut and stored before the lunch rush starts.
A plastic bin filled with 14 forearm-length fillets of red grouper arrived at about 9 a.m. Friday at the Naples restaurant.
Francis Pischner, who owns the restaurants with his wife, Pam, sliced the thick pieces into sandwich-sized portions, talking as he worked.
About 80 percent of the restaurant's business is grouper, he said.
Grouper & Chips goes through about 100 pounds a day at the downtown location, and about 5,000 pounds a month for both restaurants.
The red grouper served at Grouper & Chips comes from IncredibleFresh Seafood, a Naples-based company that buys from fishermen in Everglades City, Isles of Capri, Naples, Fort Myers Beach and Tampa, said Rich Cahoon, president.
"See how big the flakes are?" said Cahoon, pointing at a piece of fried grouper at Grouper & Chips. "Even though it's been cut thinner, the segments of the fish are still big. If it's catfish or tilapia those segments are generally smaller."
News reports about fake grouper cases have affected Grouper & Chips, the Pischners said: one in three tables asks if the grouper is real, and they've had to show invoices to customers to prove that their fish is legitimate.
But if customers have questions, they should ask restaurateurs where their grouper comes from, said both the Pischners and McDonald of Pinchers Crab Shack.
Grouper fishermen
The proliferation of fake grouper also makes life a lot harder for commercial fishermen who make their living catching the real thing on the Gulf of Mexico.
On a fishing trip last week, Damas Kirk paused long enough to show his disdain for farm-raised fillets being passed off as his hard-earned catch.
"When you ask for grouper and get a thin piece of cardboard-tasting fish, you don't buy it anymore," said Kirk, whose family has been fishing local waters for more than 100 years. "You get the wrong impression on what it is we produce."
Kirk and other commercial fishermen are held to rigid standards set by the state and federal government on the handling of their catch.
Imported fish may not be subject to the same requirements, he said.
"Imported fish, sometimes it's OK, sometimes it's not fit for bait," Kirk said.
Commercial fishermen have suspected the sale of fake grouper in restaurants for a long time, said Eric Schmidt, a former Fort Myers grouper fisherman.
When restaurants are featuring $5.99 all-you-can-eat grouper fish fries, the numbers don't add up, said Schmidt, who stopped fishing last year when the price of fish had not caught up to the actual cost of doing business.
Government crackdowns on restaurants selling fake grouper didn't help business for commercial fishermen either, he said.
"A lot of restaurants realized it wasn't worth the hassle of dealing with being fined and took it off the menu," Schmidt said. "They stopped buying any fish labeled grouper."
On one hand, it's great that consumers will now get what they pay for when they buy a $25 plate of broiled grouper, he said.
On the other hand, they might have a harder time finding it.

Best Theater Cocooning on Payday (2011)
Gold Class Cinema
An escalator ushers you down into a dimly lit lounge area of Gold Class Cinema, where moviegoers, while waiting to be let into the theater, are ordering cocktails, wine, beer and appetizers. A DJ spins esoteric, urban-alternative grooves under the glow of a red light, as servers dressed entirely in black ensure everyone gets VIP treatment. Plush is one word to describe this experience. The drink menu is extensive, ranging from a simple draft beer to Champagne ($285 for the most expensive bottle). When it's time to enter the theater, the scene gets even plusher: You're led to your seats, which are leather recliners that ease back electronically. You're provided large consoles in which to tuck your belongings, spacious enough for a duffel bag. If you need anything (popcorn and blanket are included in this cocooning experience), press a button that lights up and a server will attend to your every need. 42 Miller Alley, Pasadena.

colorful customized metal cover for hot water tank in kitchen
Greeting everyone,
I'm trying to cover up this exposed water heating tank that's an eyes sore in the kitchen. I'd like to print something onto a customized piece of metal and then place it over the water heating tank.
Above the pictured water heater is an inspirational bucket that has a colorful print.
First question: any ideas on how I could customize a cover and what kind of metal would work best?
Second question: what process would be best for getting a customized color image onto a metal cover?
The easiest (but maybe not the cheapest) way to beautify your hot water tank would be to hire a decorative painter to paint the image you selected on the tank. If you find a place that will make a customized metal cover, I would still contact a decorative painter for an estimate so you can compare the price.

Bosnian Beans
Hi All,
I haven't been over here in awhile again. Something cut most of my vines at the bottom late in the season so I wasn't able to save many beans, and I was bummed out about that. Ok I'm getting off subject, lol. Anyway, I received these neat looking beans in trade from the Netherlands. The trader said that the beans were from a neighbor who brought them with them when they fled Yugoslavia during the war.
Do they look familiar to anyone?
Good to have you back, Remy! I wondered why GW had been so quiet lately. ;-)
Neat looking beans, indeed.
No, they don't resemble anything else that I have seen, at least in terms of color. I did, however, grow two Serbian pole beans last summer, obtained through a swap. One of them was very similar to yours in size & shape, and had the same slightly shrunken appearance when dry - but with black & white mottling. They turned out to be a highly prolific flat-podded wax bean, which was rather unusual in that it made a good shelly when allowed to mature.
These were fresh-harvested shellies, so they are larger in the photo than they would be dry; but it shows the seed colors. The Serbian pole wax is the black & white one in the upper right. Directly below it is a red & white Hungarian bush bean. Comparing them to yours, it appears that such mottling is commonplace in beans from that region.
Do you know if they are green, or wax?
Lol, I've been around causing trouble in other forums.
I thought they were unusual, and being odd to you, I now know they are. I have the note from the trader somewhere, but with all the Christmas stuff I'm not sure where I put it! I'm thinking green though because he sent me a popular bean from the Netherlands that is a wax bean.
I hope they taste as good as they look!
Hi Dean,
There was a post about them somewhere, but it is gone. I wonder if it disappeared during one of GWs glitches. Anyway, it is like a green Romano. I did find Zeedman's report from this year "Despite the wet start & a very cool summer, had an exceptionally good bean year, especially for dry seed. "Bosnian Pole" (from a GW trade) in its second year (only had 3 plants last year) has produced 9 pounds of dry seed from a 20 foot row, with a tray of pods yet to shell."
Dean, I take it that the beans have arrived?
A week ago, I found an online archive of the original uncut Shelly Bean thread, and asked GW if I could restore it. No answer... and now I can't find the archive. Too bad, there were a lot of good posts, and the results of both my & Drloyd's 2009 bean trials. I still have a printed copy of my post, and thankfully Drloyd saved both of our results in a text file.
"Bosnian Pole" is a green-podded Romano-type. The pods are not very long (about 6"), but they are wide & fairly thick, and borne in large numbers. The flavor is very good, and the pods remain stringless for a long time. As I had stated previously, the dry seed yield was also exceptional, my highest ever. Haven't tried cooking the dry beans yet, so don't know if it's worth growing for that purpose.
I was just going through my seed stash and, looking at the Bosnian Pole seed I harvested last season I have to say this is the bean to grow in a less then perfect year. This bean came through with flying colors I didn't get to eat many of them as green beans but what I did were very tasty. I only had one pole of these it produced a heck of a lot of beans and the seed I harvested was first class. The other beans I grew mainly for seed rated from pretty good right on down to iffy. It's definitely a keeper in my books.
"I was just going through my seed stash and, looking at the Bosnian Pole seed I harvested last season I have to say this is the bean to grow in a less then perfect year.... It's definitely a keeper in my books."
That was my conclusion as well. That it also flourished in your cool Maritime climate, Annette, shows great adaptability to less than ideal conditions. The yield & flavor of the snaps were exceptional. The shellies were just OK for me, with a sweet flavor... but considering the snap quality, this makes it an excellent multi-purpose bean. Never did try it dry, which I should, since I still have a lot of it.
I should point out that the beautiful color in Remy's photo develops over time. When first harvested, the dry seeds are only white with black streaking. Portions of the white darken in storage, while other portions (usually on the side opposite the hilum) remain pure white. My seed from 2009 is nowhere near as dark as that in the photo, only a dark tan... so I would estimate the original seed to be about 5 years old.
That ability to go from 2-color to 3-color in storage is very rare, and is a distinguishing characteristic of this variety. The only other bean I've grown that changes color in this way is "Porcelain" (a.k.a. "Snowcap").
Now, you've got me all crazy for spring! I'm so looking forward to growing these finally. My first attempt was a failure being they all died after planting(something ate them.)
I'm glad I sent some to you, Zeedman, as you were so successful. I remember when you sent some seeds back to me. I was confused by the coloration. I knew it was odd, but I didn't know it was so rare for a seed to do that.
I have a new bean starting method now. I start them in pots outside up high and then transplant. I haven't had any problems since.
It's good that things worked out well for this bean, Remy, and that you'll get a chance to grow it this year. I nearly lost mine the first year too, to squirrels. After all the transplants from the original seed were dug up by squirrels (!!!) I reburied them, watered well, and surrounded them with chicken wire. Only one plant survived, and that with a broken stem; I had to stake it up until it healed. We came that close to losing this great bean.
The seed that first year had me confused as well. It was so plain looking, compared to your photo, I thought that crossing might have taken place. It wasn't until I pulled the seed out the next year that I noticed the beginning of the color change.
I too had a problem, something was digging mine up, I'd go out in the morning and find them lying on top of the soil. I had to replanted these beans a couple of times, also grew a couple more in the green house to replace the ones that capitulated. I split a hot cap down one side, placed it around the pole to keep whatever it was that was getting at them off until they got going, after that I didn't have any problems. I wonder what's so attractive about this particular bean that makes critters/birds/? go for it leaving all the other beans alone.
I also thought they might have crossed when I first shelled them, they weren't showing the brown coloration but as time went by they started to look like the seed I planted.
I gave a few of these beans to a couple of Seeds of Diversity members this morning, hopefully they will grow them and pass them on.
The Bosnian Pole grew well for me too and produced early and a lot, and made big beans.
Annette you can make hot caps out of plastic bottles too, so it wouldn't be too much of a loss to split one. Bell shape hot caps are expensive here.
Remy this bean was a really good find!
My plants of 'Bosnian Pole' have been weak and non-productive for me. Not quite sure what I am doing wrong since my other varieties are going gangbusters, but the 'Bosnian Pole' are slow growers and reluctant bloomers here in Chicago. I did finally get to harvest a few handfuls of snaps this weekend and sauteed them up with some ripe 'Stupice' tomatoes and a tiny amount of left-over crumbled bacon. Oh my were they ever good! Texture was buttery and the flavor was strong enough to carry through the tomatoes and bacon.
If this were a stronger, more productive plant, then I might consider these to be "forever" beans just based on one tasting. They were that good. However, I am not sure I want to waste valuable garden space on something that may or may not produce well in the future. From the way my plants look, I doubt I will even get a second harvest from them this season...
Ispahan, I grew these last year, could hardly believe the amount of beans one pole produced and it wasn't the best of years weather wise. I wouldn't give up on them yet, give them another chance. I'm giving Barksdale another chance, they are doing much better this year even tho this year until now the weather has been the pits.
Hmmm...Now that the temperatures around here have cooled off, my plants seem to be springing back to life with many blossoms and baby pods. Maybe this variety does poorly in warm conditions? I would really love to get a good harvest from these plants--the pods are delicious!

Exterior artificial flame lanters
xanderakSeptember 11, 2011
I'm looking for some advice on how to get a good looking artificial flame exterior light. Idea is they look like gas but.
Here is the idea, but this one breaks the bank:
I think these would work if they were normal bulb size:
Any ideas? Thanks!
The bulbs are just a slightly larger neon bulb and the discharge moves around on the large electrode.
They are not a good source of illumination.
Until mantles cam along to produce a hot surface, even gas lights did not produce much light.

Picasso Lane is twelve years old when her father, Oliver, is murdered at their summer beach house in North Carolina. Her mother, Diana, is the primary suspect . . . at least until the police discover his second wife, Jewels, and his third, Bert. The new widows say they have never met--but Picasso knows otherwise. She remembers the late-night visits, the hushed phone calls, and the whispered planning.
Soon, however, it becomes clear that the "perfect murder" was not so perfect after all. Each woman pleads innocence, claiming that she backed out of the plan at the last second. And as Picasso sorts through the lies and half-truths, I Love You More speeds toward an ending that no one will see coming.

This is a great hotel - great value for money. It's an old converted farm house run by a man from the Netherlands. My husband and I stayed here for three nights and enjoyed our stay immensely. The location was incredible, very quiet, clean, with very helpful staff. Highly recommended.

For me I liked the rustic atmosphere. It is easy to bike most anywhere Ronald and Wendy were great in helping any way as was the rest of the staff I dealt with. The food was good and I thought the prices were reasonable. I found the bicycle seats hard was my one slight issue.

Really clean and friendly place a bit more up market than we are used to as backpackers. For the money well worth it, the food is excellent and they even do bacon and eggs at breakfast! Slight trek to get there but once there great. We went out of season so there wasn't a lot of other guests!

A wonderful place to stay in real rural China away from the noise & bustle of cities & towns. Such a friendly welcome & nothing was too much trouble. Food excellent and our 6 day stay was a great relaxation after a hectic but enjoyable trip from Mongolia through China. A MUST to stay at amongst the most wonderful dramatic scenery.

Though employees at Goldman Sachs work long, demanding hours, they are able to enjoy the unique luxury of having a dedicated 535-person team of U.S. congressmen working around the clock to cater to their every need. Between easing annoying filing requirements, offering discounted tax rates to the company and its highest-earning employees, or just reminding personnel they can do whatever they set their minds to, this army of legislators and federal financial regulators is always available to give Goldman Sachs bankers a pat on the back and help them do what they do best.
And they're like, 'Uhhhh. Who gave this to you?'
'The King of Sweden.'
'Why did he give this to you?'
'Because I helped discover the expansion rate of the universe was accelerating.'

LD Mini – Spring Fancies
It's still cold. Wet. Grey. So miserable. In other words we're still in the middle of what seems to be the longest winter ever. I mean, I love winter, but this is getting silly now. So, in the interest of trying to feel a little more springlike, I thought I'd do a little daydream shopping, this time for the boy.
At the weekend, if he's not staying in his pjs {just like his mother!} my son knows exactly what he wants to wear, and heaven forbid anyone who tries to tell him otherwise. I love that he knows what fashion he likes, thankfully we've always managed to avoid the god awful cartoon character stuff, I had to put my foot down, when I found out he was a boy I could just see Postman Pat tees coming at me in all directions. Anyway, we like to go for the classic, but slightly off beat look. Always classic skinny trousers because he's tall and skinny so anything else just looks like he's wearing his big sisters jeans, or sweatpants. Good quality tees and a jumper or sweatshirt of some kind. Then of course we have to add another 5 layers to be warm enough to leave the house, but we'll forget that for now.
I had a browse of Melijoe and managed to find a fair few outfits for them both {I'll be doing GG's post next month then!}
Faded black tee from Japan Rags, Levi Skinnies, Adidas Originals {what else!} and a Kate Moss sweatshirt from Little Eleven Paris – I want this in my size! This would be, pretty much, his 'uniform' at weekend and during school hols, comfortable enough for him to throw himself around in, stylish enough for me to be happy. Sorted!

Shower drain - reduce 2 inch to 1 1/2 inch and venting
I have a few questions about replacing an existing bathtub with a shower as we remodel our bathroom,
The existing tub on our upper floor was plumbed with a 1.5 inch p-trap and then a horizontal run of about 9 feet before it heads vertically downwards towards the basement between all the walls. My understanding is that code calls for 2 inch drain pipe for a shower. My question is somewhere along the line (I can rip up the subfloor) I need to transition form the new 2 inch drain to the 1.5 inch line and what would be the best place to place this reducer to minimize the speed at which water can flow. It could be right at point the drain meets the the p-trap where I could reduce to 1.5 inch p-trap or I could put in a 2 inch p-trap and 2 inch line and then transition at the point the horizontal drain line connects to the 1.5 inch vertical drain line between the walls headed to the basement. I am thinking the second option would be better?
My second question I son venting- the existing tub never drained very fast. The current vent is about 52 inches form the existing p-trap. I have looked at code on the web and it varies by jurisdiction with it being with 5 feet in some and within 3.5 feet. My question is if I move the vent closer than the existing 52 inches could I increase the rate at which the water drains. If I actually left the first vent in place and added a second vent that was closer could this cause a problem?
Any advice would be appreciated
Code prohibits decreasing the size of a line in the direction of flow. (Common sense should explain why).
If you pull the tub and replace it with a shower you will be required to make the entire run of the drain line with 2" until it connects to a larger line.
Under the IRC a 1-1/2" line requires a vent within 6' of the trap, while under the UPC they only allow 3'6" from trap weir to vent opening.
For a 2" line the IRC allows 8' while the UPC only allows 5', however according to your profile you are in Canada and I do not have the Canadian Plumbing code so you will have to find out what your local code requires. Generally you can call the code inspection office, any local plumber or perhaps the reference desk at your local library to find out what your requirements are.
All vents must rise vertically until they reach an elevation at least 6" higher than the flood level rim of the highest fixture served by that vent.
afaik. each province has its own code, and they all allow 1.5" drains. Everyone says so, but I've never seen it in writing. Check with a Master Plumber. Any Master Plumber. They are professionals who do not lie. They know 100% for certain what is required and they tell you the truth, when it concerns their expertise; also you do not have to hire them first before they answer questions about their area of expertise. Each Master Plumber will give you the same answer as the previous one and the next one.
Ditto, do not decrease any "drain line in the direction of flow." The trap size has to be the same as the drain size. Many people conclude that a 2" trap can be reduced to a 1.5." pipe after the trap. Use a 1.5" trap if the drain line is to going to be 1.5" diameter. This is very serious, not to be disregarded. Ask a Master Plumber if you need to hear it again.
You may wonder why you see on the internet that showers need 2" ...
I feel that this forum is the right place for this discussion.
It find the 2" diameter requirement for showers to be overkill.
I'm surprised that after many years of searching, I've never seen an internet comment from an experienced Master Plumber telling me how Code changed over the years.
I'm 100% certain that a 1.5" drain line used to be Code everywhere, for showers. I'd like to know what discussion went into voting for the new size, 2" diameter.
Here is a link showing 1.5" is OK in NY.
Code has changed over the years and will continue to change in the future.
I'd like to think I'm helping to air out the issues which leads later to clearing up confusion about 2" shower drains.
Imagine all the people who have been forced to do a lot of extra work for no reason !! When a 1.5" drain already plumbed could have been used, they ripped it all out and put a 2" drain in.
I'm not a plumber. Since this is a discussion forum, I'm posting this here as part of a *discussion*; everything I have written here concurs with the previous post from an expert who knows, and who shares, precisely what is code today. Code has changed over the years and will continue to change in the future.

Advice for Clients en Route to Atlantis, Paradise Island
As a longtime repeat visitor, I've had a lot of experience on how to manage this bigger-than-life destination. I say "destination" rather than "resort," because Atlantis' marketing and sales people use that term, arguing that in this case, the resort, rather than The Bahamas, is the destination. They have a point. Anyway, what follows are some tips I've learned over the years.

Turkish Delights by INCA
Turkey's a personal favorite destination, one treasured for its ancient sites in spectacular locations, marvelous food, souks and boutiques full of irresistible crafts. Over the years, I've shopped 'till I dropped for carpets, copper and ceramics, tiles, saffron and tribal jewelry—you name it. What I never thought to look for were Turkish towels, until talking with the experts at California-based International Nature & Cultural Adventures (INCA).

Well, there seem to be a lot of people in the tourism industry who think so, particularly the U.S. tour operators who are back at the job designing itineraries to meet the increasing demand for travel to a country on everyone's bucket list.

Atlantis, Paradise Island
Sol Kerzner dined with two 6-ft. models the night that the Royal Towers and the Mayan Pyramid had their official opening. I knew better than to stare. I also knew Michael Jackson was upstairs in the instantly iconic Bridge Suite, and I knew the mythologically themed casino, the "ruin"-filled aquarium, and the new Aquaventure water park were unlike anything else in the region. I knew it all, right? Wrong, as I realized on subsequent trips. And now I'm back from my fourth visit, a trip inspired by two events: Atlantis, Paradise Island's 20th anniversary and its linking up with the Marriott Autograph Collection.

Parks & Recreation = Family Travel Highs in Costa Rica
"If any destination is tailormade for family travel, Costa Rica is it." I wrote that sentence in Recommend's Costa Rica Specialist Program based on just looking around during many years of traveling in this family-friendly nation. Last July was time to sample the product: The Hunt family traveled in an Adobe Rent a Car's 4×4 to a trio of kid-friendly wild places: Tortuguero National Park (three nights), the Sarapiqui region (two nights), and Monteverde National Park (three nights). Perhaps a trip report on what worked (most things) and what didn't (just a few) will be helpful in client trip planning.

Non Linearity Modeling for Spectral Pattern Recognition in Piano Chords
The non linear behavior of the piano strings is a very important issue when the chords have to be recognized using spectral patterns. In order to calculate the pattern and masks used in the recognition algorithm it is necessary to model the effects of non linearity. A model using intermodulation products have proved to give good results. For validation of the model we have recorded 11 pianos and analyzed the ?A? note of the octaves 1 to 7, using 4 different forces. The basis of this model are presented in this contribution.

In this paper we present the design and implementation of Tsinghua object data store, a cluster object storage system to support the building of scalable services. TODS provides a unified, transparent and object-oriented view of the storage devices of the whole cluster, which greatly simplifies clustered service development. In the meantime, it is designed to be very scalable and efficient. Services built on it simply inherit these properties and become scalable too. TODS also supports ACID transactions, which facilitates the building of complex transactional services. TODS abstracts away from service logic most complexities of data management, which has often become major obstacles for developing high quality Internet services. The design principles, architecture and implementation of TODS are discussed. hi our performance experiments, the system scales smoothly to a 36-node server cluster and achieves 11,160 In-memory reads/sec and 396 transactions/sec.

Hypothesis C: Mastodon's latest album "The Hunter" was actually intended as a segue into a reality TV series starring the band alongside late-night darling Jimmy Fallon entitled, "The Creature Lives". The show will air weeknights after "Wheel of Fortune", and will document the band's ongoing struggles to cope with their celebrity status and the hardships of being stereo-typed as "metal".
Album Rating: 4.0Definitely Hypothesis C.
