"Teaching Kids to Code" Guide: A Fantastic Resource GeekDad (blog) As GeekDads we are probably more aware than others of the increasing interest from parents, schools and businesses of teaching kids to code.
Kim Cameron and his colleagues at the University of Michigan, however, have discovered a way to improve performance that has nothing to do with dishing out benefits or deploying new processes. In a research article published in the Journal of Applied Behavioral Science, Cameron and his coauthors found that a workplace characterized by positive and virtuous practices excels in a number of domains.

CIM Academy's curator insight, March 27, 6:44 AM
Times are changing and being a digital leader is now a key aspect of achieving marketing success.
Everybody would like to think more about the long term, but unless you can solve everyday problems, you'll never get there. However, control is an illusion and always has been. When large organizations had a monopoly on resources, it was a workable fiction. It no longer is.
Sharrock's insight:
This brings together some interesting ideas. The quote itself says that the old style of leadership is outdated because resources were monopolized objects that people couldn't access or manipulate without permission. Information and access is not controlled easily. The information age of the knowledge era requires high levels of transparency, collaboration, and communication so that problems can be discovered and solved. This requires a different kind of leadership that rejects formal authority, instead valuing informal authority. There are other ideas to consider connected with this article and regarding leadership in general. For one, there is the question about authority as an expert, how power is derived from authority (or vice versa), and the fluidity of leadership as it directs power towards greater effectiveness.

Great leaders think strategically. They can understand and appreciate the current state as well as see possibilities.
Via Maree Whiteley
Sharrock's insight:
This type of strategic leadership requires five different types of thinking. Knowing when and how much to utilize each one is the hallmark of great leaders.Critical thinking is the mental process of objectively analyzing a situation by gathering information from all possible sources, and then evaluating both the tangible and intangible aspects, as well as the implications of any course of action.Implementation thinking is the ability to organize ideas and plans in a way that they will be effectively carried out.Conceptual thinking consists of the ability to find connections or patterns between abstract ideas and then piece them together to form a complete picture.Innovative thinking involves generating new ideas or new ways of approaching things to create possibilities and opportunities.Intuitive thinking is the ability to take what you may sense or perceive to be true and, without knowledge or evidence, appropriately factor it in to the final decision.

Argument: Testing doesn't assess everything a child needs to learn!
Sharrock's insight:
Walkup raises important points that points back to the need for others to evaluate our thinking and actions. We are human, so we can't be perfect. The most obvious of our imperfections is captured by the endless list of fallacies and biases. In the end, only (mostly) the most mentally ill will see herself as the bad guy in her life story. No matter what we do, we have rationales or rationalizations. Even when we're wrong, we can only mostly see our errors in retrospect. (To experience this, try editing your own writing then hand it over to someone else to edit.Then compare the editing suggestions.)
On the other hand, we also need to trust and respect our evaluators. This is something that standardized testing--based on how they are constructed--can provide based on objectivity and sample sizes. And we all believe in testing. "When a calculus teacher assesses her students on Taylor series expansions, she knows fully well that her assessment will fail to capture many of the personal traits needed to be a successful mathematician. Yet, she still assigns the test.""Standardized testing is no different. Results of standardized testing are limited to uncovering gaps in basic concepts/skills acquisition. We should acknowledge as such."
This is better than depending on the opinionated colleague down the hall who finds success certain ways that fits his personality, but doesn't fit well for anyone else.

Influencing Staff Creativity: How Good Leaders Get it Right | Leading from the ... - Library Journal
Productive change depends on staff members who are working creatively to develop new ideas for better library services. Leaders can play an important role in helping staff to achieve higher levels of workplace creativity.
Great businesses, in the final analysis, are built by passion. Strategies can come and go, but the mission of the enterprise is fundamental to directing action
Sharrock's insight:
important section: "More recently, there has been a seismic shift in the strategic environment. Whereas we used to compete in distinct industries with clear boundaries, today business is dominated by open ecosystems. Although Apple is an integrated firm, its App store allowed thousand of developers to enhance its product, without having to coordinate with Jobs or his firm.
This has had a profound effect on how we have to think about strategy. Every media company now must consider Amazon a threat, although Amazon itself is a retailer that competes with Walmart. It also recently launched a Fire phone and is in a pitched battle with Microsoft to win dominance in cloud services.
The result is that strategy is no longer just about efficiencies and capabilities along the value chain, but also widening and deepening networks of connections. In today's semantic economy, the structure of your relationships is every bit as important—if not more important—than the structure of your organization."
Critical thinking is an important skill in the 21st century learning. Education's overall goal is to produce students that will be able to think critically and not just take in things like a parrot. Of course there is a bunch of other important skills out there but this particular one stands out from the crowd. The thing about ttis skill is that while almost all teachers agree upon its priority in education only few really know what it really means

"Creating communication friendly schoolsClassrooms which have clearly defined areas create a more organised environment which pupils can navigate easily, says Fiona Barry 66 51 1 1 119 EmailClassroom displays can bring learning to life but can be visually distracting Photo: Alamy Top 10: Advice on Choosing the Best Postgrad University Place for YouPostgraduate study is a fantastic opportunity, but your success and enjoyment will in part depend on where you study. AdvertisementBy Fiona Barry2:00PM GMT 20 Mar 2015CommentEducation is an area that is constantly meddled with by politicians and in the lead up to this year's General Election there will, no doubt, be many changes proposed in the hope of securing votes.Whether our schools survive the next year unscathed remains to be seen. However, regardless of any potential changes, one thing that remains constant is the research evidence that demonstrates the central role that communication skills play in education attainment and outcomes later on in life.Good communication skills underpin all learning and this is reflected in the fact that Ofsted has a strong focus in their inspection framework on how children are developing their communication skills within a school and whether teachers are able to support them with this.The Teachers' Standards, set by the Department for Education, states that all teachers should take responsibility for promoting high standards of speaking and listening skills regardless of the subject they teach.In practice, not all teachers feel confident in doing this. However, creating schools which have a communication friendly environment is a cohesive and effective way of sharing out the responsibility of driving up communication standards in schools. There are three main areas which need to be considered:Visual support to enhance understanding of the written and spoken word Everyone benefits from backing up writing and speech with signs, pictures and symbols. This promotes independence and helps students understand rules, routines and information. Imagine an alien landing in your school. Would they easily be able to find their way round and know how the day works?Colour coded maps, room labels with photos of the teacher or what happens in the room and staff boards in the foyer with named photos help students and visitors navigate the building.Classrooms with consistent colour coding for areas and pictures to show where equipment is kept reduces anxiety and helps understanding, as do visual timetables showing the structure of the day or part of a lesson, like getting dressed for PE.The use of symbol supported learning materials in lessons makes the curriculum accessible to all. When worksheets, stories, task instructions and new vocabulary are accompanied by symbols and pictures, this helps understanding of words and instructions and allows pupils to work through tasks with increasing independence.Symbol supported learning materials in lessons makes the curriculum accessible to allEnsuring that adults communicate in ways that support language developmentThe way that parents and teachers interact with pupils has the strongest effect on how their communication skills emerge. Information on typical language development and the strategies that encourage this should be shared with staff and parents.Some 'Golden Rules' can be created, which teachers and parents agree to try and adopt, for example, allowing extra thinking time for pupils to respond to questions is a simple rule that can have wide reaching consequences for all pupils.Creating surroundings which facilitate good communicationThe physical environment has a huge impact on how well pupils can listen and talk, but schools do not always take this into consideration. It's helpful to think about the auditory surroundings in school. What are the acoustics of the classroom like? Can the teacher's voice be heard, if not, what would improve this?The visual environment is also key. Are there lots of visual distractions in areas where children are expected to concentrate?Classroom displays can bring learning to life but can be visually distracting which is problematic for all children, especially those with listening and attention difficulties. Considering placing displays away from areas where children are expected to work and having clear wall spaces there instead is useful.Is there adequate lighting? Having the light source in front of the teacher is preferable as spoken information is heavily supported by non-verbal information like lip movements, facial expression and eye contact.Classrooms which have clearly defined areas create a more organised environment which pupils can navigate easily. Making specific areas which are conducive to talking is beneficial for pupils of all ages.As with any whole school plan it's vital that a top-down approach is taken to ensure that the key features are embedded into everyday practice.It's helpful for school leadership teams to give staff and governors information around the links between communication skills and raising educational attainment in order to encourage an understanding of why changes need to be made.Including actions about communication development in the school action plan ensures that adaptations to the school environment are followed through. Teacher training is also crucial and local speech and language therapy services are the best starting point to investigate training that is on offer.A helpful resource is the Communication Trust's 'Communication Commitment' which provides a comprehensive guide to creating a whole school approach to boosting talking and listening skills.Incorporating speaking and listening activities into lesson planning for all subject areas creates time for talk during the day and raises the status of 'just talking' to be in line with the status given to reading and writing. Celebrating positive communication skills through speaking and listening awards or communication mentor schemes also raises the profile.Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, none of this would be successful without involving parents. Parental engagement is crucial to every aspect of a child's school career. Sharing information via newsletters, bulletin boards and parent talks about what the school is aiming for and how parents can support this at home is essential.Our schools are likely to be subjected to yet another barrage of policy changes in the near future. However, teachers and parents can safeguard the success of pupils by making consistent and effective adaptations to the school environment now, to enable all students to be able to communicate to the best of their abilities in the future."

Darrington Lee's curator insight, March 7, 9:36 PM
I feel that it is generally important to reflect on one self after taking a lesson, this ensures we are learning on the right track and doesn't "fall off" the topic. Reflection keep us calm and collected, so we can stand back straight up even after a failure to accomplish something. This gives us a never ending space to improve and beyond than just learning, but also to persevere, take responsibility in one's learning and also to excel in things we do.

Sharrock's insight:
I question the value of applying this as "shape-changing" leadership. Credibility is built on predictability (among other habits and practices). It might work for taking a position, assessing the need as leader, and becoming that leader, but to change shape in the same organization will strain relationships and damage communication, especially when a general message to the org or department is towards empowerment and autonomy then expecting others to accept micromanagement.

What happened to the website, you were so close to release.
He's the reason I stopped playing.
I am not seeing any problems except for a lack of server and a way to change lock on targets in vehicles.
So this is great there's 2 servers online, one is passworded and I can't connect to the other one.
Deadpool here you moved me to another server and now I can't rejoin your teamspeak server.
Anyone know any of the servers that are up ip address? I can't find them in the game server finder.
if anyone has a server please upload the ip here so we can all join it.
or better yet have the ip addresses for the servers that are currently up?
no you have to download the patch here's a link for you, although even with the patch I don't see any servers online. Gamershell.com
Does anyone see any servers online?
I logged on just now and didn't see any servers. I'm running the steam version is there anything I'm doing wrong?
according to their forums they're going to release it the 13th evening aka 10 am pst
Hopefully less then 2 hours remain now.
Less than 24 hours remain!
will the release date ever be accurate? I have finally grown impatient with this mod.
Won't load gets stuck on the starter screen.
ahahha SO THIS DOESN'T GET TAKEN DOWN BUT EVERYTHING ELSE DOES? Wonderful job moddb

My Brassavola nodosa orchid finally bloomed!
The flower pod split open last night and the petals started unfolding. Tonight it appears to be fully open or almost? So far no scent. :(
I don't know if that happens later in the evening (it's around 6pm right now) or if it must be absolutely dark for scent production or what.
I've read in 'Bloom-Again Orchids' by Judy White that many strains have little to no scent and it's best to smell before you buy. I'm crossing my fingers that mine will turn out to have a heady scent! :)
Hi Robert,
Most orchids will not produce much of a scent when they first open, and brassavola is no exception. You need to wait a couple of days before the blossom has matured enough to produce a stronger scent. Orchids follow very different rules than most plants :-)
However, the fact that you already noticed a fragrance from it is a very good sign. Once more blossoms open and mature you will notice the scent in all areas of your house starting at 7-8 pm. The scent is incredibly pervasive but never overpowering.
As for fragrance quality, I think it is one of the best. It has a spicy floral aroma with medicinal undertones and hints of...bacon! Yes, that does indeed sound strange (even unappealing), but once you experience it you will become addicted. It is unique, delicious and wonderful!

I tried this author after reading a comment that his style was similar to Rafael Sabatinis which was true to the extent that they are based in late Renaissance France but Sabatini writes much more embellished and maintains more momentum of the story.
For me, it was hard to recall the characters because of the long French names and titles. There were also a few passing details that were key to following the plot that I had to go back and re-read to recall. Overall it was a typical romance adventure story, nothing wrong with it but not fabulous either.
A good romance with a happy ending. I enjoyed variety of characters in the book and the heros positive attitude throughout the story.
Based during the French Revolution, the story is of a common man who loves a woman of aristocracy and the romance that gradually develops as he shows himself more noble than those of her class. It was an entertaining book and worth reading. I was left wanting in that they didnt share their love for each other till the last paragraph which ended too abruptly for me, but that ending is common in romances written in this period.
A short story of a man that enforces justice on the man who sought to have killed. Sabatini writes overelaborately in all his books, so this short story would be a great introduction to his style to see if you would be interested in reading his larger works.

Tara Stamps and Sue Sadlowski Garza will face incumbent aldermen in the April 7 runoffs. A third teacher, Tim Meegan, narrowly missed a runoff in his ward.
The downgrade of CPS' credit rating by Fitch last week might force the district to pay $263 million in termination penalties because of interest-rate "swaps."
Most principals in a recent survey say that privatized custodial services have left their schools dirtier than before and accuse CPS of ignoring their complaints. CPS says an independent audit found that schools are now cleaner and at a level of "ordinary tidiness."
Suspensions in CPS are on the decline, and teachers and students say they feel safer, according to a new report. But a lack of data on charter school suspensions, which some advocates say leaves a big question mark in an otherwise positive trend.
High schools are now rated on the college enrollment and persistence of their graduates. To solve the money problems, academic difficulties and social challenges that many students face, CPS is partnering with local colleges and universities.
A preschool expansion program financed with a loan from investment bankers has been slow to get off the ground – largely due to stalled recruitment.
Advocates for state-funded child care programs were among those who spoke out at an Illinois Senate hearing in Chicago Monday, joining nearly a dozen organizations that sharply criticized Gov. Bruce Rauner's proposed $6 billion in budget cuts for 2016.
As Illinois rolls out the new PARCC exam and anti-testing advocates push the opt-out movement, a survey of teachers in three states finds that they believe the PARCC is much better than previous state tests. They also want more training on the exam.

"This building will tell Hampshire's story, embody its values, serve its needs, and draw our visitors into the community."-- President Jonathan Lash
A New Building for Hampshire
This summer, Hampshire College is planning to break ground on the R. W. Kern Center, its first new building in decades: a multifunctional learning, teaching, and exhibition space. The R. W. Kern Center will be the point of entry for prospective students and their families into the community. As the home of the admissions office, it will also enable tours to start near the center of campus. This building will also provide instructional space, serve as a hub to share information about the campus, and highlight Hampshire's mission. The bookstore will be relocated to the building from the first floor of the Johnson Library. This will open up almost the entire first floor of the library to be developed as a student learning commons.
The College intends to pursue Living Building Certification (LBC), which requires the creation of a net-zero energy, waste, and water building. There are currently fewer than ten LBC-certified buildings in the country, and Hampshire will provide national leadership at the confluence of architectural design and energy and water conservation. The R. W. Kern Center will be a proud symbol for Hampshire College, as it will serve all of the campus in a variety of ways and stand in the forefront of sustainable building practices.
Impact and Goals
- The R. W. Kern Center will ensure that prospective students discover the Hampshire education more directly.
- Meeting a variety of space needs, the R. W. Kern Center will be a place that encourages community, collaboration, and conversation (with good coffee!).
- The R. W. Kern Center will enhance the admissions process and relieve limitations imposed by the current buildings and location on periphery of campus.
- The project will push the bounds of environmental design by achieving "Living Status" under the Living Building Challenge (LBC).
- The R. W. Kern Center should be a place where the story of Hampshire College as a unique, progressive, and experimenting intellectual community can be explored.
- The design of the R. W. Kern Center should be accessible, flexible, and adaptable.
- The landscape should invite people to be around the building, not just inside it.

Last month, Arizona State University held a glitzy, interactive press conference to introduce the new version of their beloved Sun Devil mascot, Sparky.
Reaction was negative, and that's an understatement.
The university scrapped the plan and instead instituted a plan where students, alumni, season ticket holders, donors, faculty and staff will be eligible to vote on Sparky's new look through May 5.

The first time we all meet Stacy, it's just a regular morning.
Our teacher, Simon, is in front of the room, shuffling flash cards. He leans back against the science counter, mixes the deck a couple of times, and hooks one ankle over the other, the way he always does. Then he holds up the first word.
"Ology," he says out loud, so we can hear how it sounds. I write, the study of. Things are quiet while pencils scratch, sounding just like gerbils making a nest out of cedar chips and Kleenex. Simon holds up the next one. Astro. On a test he'll put them together, and we'll have to figure out that astrology means "the study of stars."
"Ichthy," Simon says. Fish, I write, and then I kick Tim and make a gagging face to remind him how we remember that one: Fish tastes icky....ichthy. But Tim doesn't kick back, even when I kick him again, and then I notice there's this massive hush in the room. I look up to see a girl standing in the doorway. The new girl. Simon told us she was coming, but up until this second I'd forgotten all about it.
She's got shiny black hair down to her behind and gray eyes that take up her whole face, and she's as skinny as I am. She's wearing a purple-and-black turtleneck and jeans that look brand-new, and she grins at everybody like she's totally psyched to meet us. She's got a gap between her two front teeth.
"Hi," she goes. "I'm Stacy." I see a flash of silver in her mouth. A tongue ring. "Let's get this party started."
And that's how it begins.

Miami-Dade Superintendent Carvalho opens school year with digital focus
Miami-Dade Superintendent Alberto Carvalho lauded student achievement while criticizing the state's A-to-F school grading system as "dysfunctional" during Thursday's opening of schools address.
The new school year begins for students Aug. 19.
"The state needs to decommission the old formula," he told hundreds of teachers and other school district employees gathered at the Fillmore in Miami Beach for the annual event. "This is a broken system that is hurting our kids."
Despite experiencing a rise in student performance and winning one of the country's top education awards, the Broad Prize for Urban Education, a growing number of schools received failing grades from the state Department of Education. This year 68 schools (both district-run and charter) received a D or F - a 7 percent increase from last year.
The district plans to develop its own student and school achievement reporting system, district spokesman John Schuster said Friday. The system would follow state law, but offer its own accountability results.
Carvalho dedicated most of his address Friday to a commitment to digitizing schools by investing in new technology and expanding existing programs.
"The digitally disconnected are at a disadvantage right now," he said, adding that those without Internet access are unable to engage in academic and economic pursuits.
To help close the so-called digital divide, Carvalho announced plans to distribute 140,000 digital devices throughout the district and expand the "iPrep" program, which allows students to learn from home via the web. About 98 percent of "iPrep" participants scored highly in tests, he said.
The superintendent also announced plans to widen attendance boundaries and expand "choice" programs even more, as charter schools continue to grow in Miami-Dade.
"This is the right evolution of our system," he said.
And Carvalho said that the school upgrades funded with last fall's bond referendum are going faster than expected and should be completed a year early.
He ended the address by challenging the district to raise its 80 percent high school graduation rate - which is already above the state average of 74 - to 90 percent by 2015.

Grilled Salmon with North African Flavors
Source: Eating Well
Tips: Keeping the skin on when grilling salmon helps hold the fish together and protects the delicate flesh from the searing heat. Once cooked, the skin slips off easily.To oil a grill: Oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.) When grilling delicate foods like tofu and fish, it is helpful to spray the food with cooking spray.

S.F. Bar Owners Want to Keep Liquor Flowing During Super Bowl
By Laird Harrison, KQED News Fix
When the San Francisco Giants won the World Series, the celebration turned ugly with cars overturned, a bus set on fire and 36 arrests. Now S.F. Mayor Ed Lee is running into challenges as he tries to prevent similar violence if the San Francisco 49ers win the Super Bowl.
Last week, Lee suggested that establishments serving alcohol switch to something softer, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
The mayor said Thursday that next week he and Police Chief Greg Suhr will tour neighborhoods hit by vandalism after the World Series and during Occupy Wall Street protests last year to offer support to business owners and "also to suggest that they serve something (other) than heavy alcohol during times of celebration, because that inebriation sometimes doesn't help with people who want to maybe go beyond the bounds of acceptability in their celebration."

This painting won the Jack Richeson merit award in the Pastel Society of the Northern Rockies competition in 2008. This is how I like to remember the cool autumn days of Northern Minnesota.

While she won't exactly be stocking up on Ramen noodles, the Queen of England will have a little less in her purse for the next few years.
Queen Elizabeth II faces a freeze on her income through at least 2015 thanks to funding cuts for the royal household resulting from a recently passed law. Her income has already dropped in real terms since 2009 as she has joined the millions of others affected by the economic downturn.
The funding for the royal family has traditionally come from the civil list, a public fund controlled by the British Parliament. However, a law passed six weeks ago will replace the civil list with a single fund, the sovereign grant, in April 2013.Video: Queen Elizabeth to see pay freeze until 2015 (on this page)
The sovereign grant will be 15 percent of the surplus money generated by the Crown Estate. The Crown Estate is a "diverse property business valued at more than 7 billion,'' according to its website. It owns properties that include Regent Street and Great Windsor Park as well as "almost all of the seabed around the UK.'' The Queen's income will depend on how well the Crown Estate portfolio performs in a given year.

The austerity measures most likely mean that repairs to the royal palace will be delayed and that there may be fewer public appearances by the royal family, whose travel expenses had previously been taxpayer-funded.Slideshow: The life and times of Prince Charles
With no extra tax funds to pay for the court of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Will and Kate's staff will be subsidized by the Prince of Wales, according to a report in The Sunday Times. The Prince of Wales' income derives from the Duchy of Cornwall, which also is responsible for financially supporting Prince Harry and any future wife and children. The Duchy of Cornwall reportedly made 17.8 million last year, and although it will be paying for Will and Kate's staff, structural repairs to Kensington Palace will still be taxpayer-funded.
According to the Sunday Times, the document related to the passing of the Sovereign Grant Bill reads, "The grant levels envisaged in the early years of the new system are, in real terms, below what the Royal Household spent in every one of the last 20 years.''Slideshow: Life of a queen
That most likely means a paycut for the Queen at least through April 2015. In 2010-11, the royal household had an income of 32.1 million, a far cry from the 77.3 million in taxpayer funding that the Queen once enjoyed back in 1991-92.Slideshow: Crown jewels: Greatest royal headgear
Last summer, the keeper of the privy purse, Sir Alan Reid, indicated that if the funding for the royal household fell any further that it would most likely impact "the support of the Queen and the long-term health of the estate,'' according to a report in The Telegraph.

Is draining rusty furnace water weekly reasonable?
We just bought an old house. It's warm, with steam heat radiators, but I am not thrilled with the furnace. It was installed in 1994. So, 20 years old, and they said it should last 40, it's a Burnham, very large.
The trouble is that it needs me to go down there are drain two buckets of rusty water every week, and even every day in really cold weather. And then I have to carry the buckets upstairs to empty them - no drains in the basement. Then I have to refill it, with a valve. And apparently if you don't turn the valve enough when you shut it off, the whole system can leak. Which apparently happened not long before we bought the house.
This seems unreasonable in a modern furnace. Even though it has usable life left, I think it should be replaced. Am I being too picky?
Can you buy a new furnace for steam radiators that doesn't need so much manual attention?
If the water in the sight glass is clear, then there should be no need to drain two buckets of water each week. Did someone tell you need to do this?
You should flush out some water into a bucket until the water runs clear. There will always be rust in the system due to the cast iron pipes and radiators. Some rust is fine, but you don't it to build up over a long period of time. Once a week is probably too often. Every 2 -3 weeks if fine. If you did it less often, I don't think it would be a problem unless the water was unusually dirty.
There are automatic filling systems, but not for draining.
Yes, the previous owner instructed me to do it once a week. Every day when it's really cold she said.
The water never runs clear. It's very red brown.
The Furnace is 20 yrs old but the pipes are probably well over 100 yrs old. The house is 150 yrs old. Does one ever need to replace a radiator system? Not that I want to, just curious what the lifespan of steam radiators would be.
I claim no expertise about that system. But rusting occurs only when "fresh" oxygen is introduced into the system-- and the additional water does that. My idea is that so long as the rust causes no operational problem, draining it and refilling causes additional rust in the system. That is elementary chemistry.
I defer to those who claim expertise.
Is the water in the sight glass clean? It is I would not worry about it.
You don't have to replace anything unless a pipe has so much rust it springs a leak.
How often are you adding water to the boiler? Perhaps Bus Driver is correct. You are making the rust situation worse by adding fresh water everyday.
add some squick follow directions on can. Drain the mud legs once/month at most. I'm surprised there's no drain in the basement, that's unusual.
a steam system is somewhat open so you never have all the oxygen removed from the water. It will get rusty, but it shouldn't be that dark and the sediment should collect in the mud legs and be flushed out when you drain the water - typically a gallon or so, then the water should clear right up, if not, I'd flush the entire boiler, add the squick to bring down any remaining sediment, and then start a monthly draining. It should not need to be done more than that.
If your pipes are banging and making noise, your system may need attention - esp. the air valves on radiators and mains, pressure setting - shouldn't be more than 1 psi.
A properly operating steam system is an excellent heating device. You should not have to be doing this and you may be doing more harm than good. You need to find a professional who knows steam heat and get him in there to to identify issues, correct them and instruct you in how to live with your current boiler. Burnham makes good steam boilers.
I suspect with all the clean water that has been added by you and the previous owner that there is quite a lot of debris in the system. A properly operating steam system should have an auto fill device to maintain the water levels. Fresh water has all kinds of chemicals in it. When you heat the water many of those chemicals will leach out of solution and coat the insides of your system. That will/can reduce heat transfer and create hot spots in the equipment. Get a pro in there. Today would be good!
Here is a book you should buy and read. I have never read it, but all the reviews say it is excellent.
Here is a link that might be useful: The Lost Art of Steam Heating
Here's a thought. Have you considered installing a drain of some kind? Wouldn't something like a condensate pump work for this? Stick the pump in a bucket and pump it on out through a hose?
I would do it just to avoid hauling water up the stairs, even if it's monthly.
Keep in mind I know ZERO about this stuff!
My parents have a similar system. They don't drain the water every week...every few months.
There is an "auto-fill" device you can add on that will automatically maintain water levels by refilling it. I'd add one. You would still need to drain it.
A new furnace is A LOT of money...particularly a large one. If you just purchased an old house, you are bound to finds things that have to be fixed/changed. I wouldn't borrow trouble by replacing the furnace in the winter. Wait until your next big rain and see if there is any flooding/leaking anywhere. Have a home energy assessment to see if you need new insulation. Check for rot or bad wiring. There are a lot of things to think about before contemplating an expensive repair that isn't really necessary.

Guiding Format Continues for Four Decades
When The Maine Sportsman first hit newsstands four decades ago, we had no columns, just articles and an occasional short story, and the writers, editor and publisher aimed at a guiding format right from day one. Outdoor sports offer participants fun and more fun, and the finished product should capture that joy, while touching upon where-to-go, localized how-to, outdoors politics, current trends and more sandwiched between short, crisp images that put the readers there to feel the excitement. In the mid-1970s, this publication began publishing more and more columns and less free-lance articles, but we continued with the same plan that has carried on until this day.
Enjoying the ice and snow; preparing for the Sportsman's Show.
Snowmobiling and ice fishing dominate the March issue of The Maine Sportsman, while our readers, vendors and the magazine's staff make final preparations for the March 27 – 29, 35th Annual State of Maine Sportsman's Show at the Augusta Civic Center.
This year's show will be another blockbuster, with appearances by the wardens of Animal Planet's "North Woods Law," as well as the 2nd Annual Miss Maine Sportsman competition, raffles, giveaways, kids' archery and trout fishing, seminars and outstanding booths and displays.
The March issue celebrates the depth of Maine's winter season. William Sheldon's "Jackman Region" column reveals the design features that permit certain snowmobiles to excel in deep, powdery snow. Cathy Genthner tells where to travel in Western York and Cumberland counties to find great sledding late into the season. And when it's time to put your rig away, William Clunie reveals the secrets to "summer-izing" your snowmobile for trouble-free warm-weather storage.
Regional columnists celebrate their area's ice fishing, including Tom Roth's descriptions of catching lunker togue and pike in and around Sebago Lake, and Steve Vose's "Washington County," in which he relates the importance of taking your kids out onto the ice now that the days are longer and warmer. Again this issue, Bill Graves illustrates his "The County" column with many great photos of himself and his friends making the most recreational use of the ice and snow.
On the political front, George Smith (Capitol Report) describes the slew of outdoor-related bills scheduled for debate during the current legislative session, while publisher Jon Lund (Jon's Jottings) discusses the threat to the Fish River watershed posed by open-pit mining on Bald Mountain, which would be permitted under DEP regulations now under consideration by lawmakers in Augusta.
Our readers also star in this issue – letters continue to pour in, and we have printed six more in March, while those of you who don't write letters, provide trophy photos, so many that we've run three full pages in order to cram in all the pictures of deer, moose, bear, turkeys and monster fish.
Both Joe Saltalamachia (Big Game Hunting) and William Clunie (Western Mountains) pay tribute and respect to late, great canine hunting companions. Meanwhile, Jim Andrews (Self-Propelled Sportsman) describes poling upstream without a paddle; Lou Zambello reveals his fear of flying around the corner on his bike on a woods road and running smack into a big bull moose; and Chris Johnson (Bowhunting) tells the secrets of using scent to entice a big buck into range of your tree stand.
Periodic contributor and retired state biologist Ron Joseph relates some of the more bizarre calls and requests he received during his career. How bizarre? Envision Joseph spraying concentrated wolf urine from a DOT truck along Route 201 in Jackman in an effort to keep moose off the road! Look for Part 2 of this mini-series in the April issue.
With this issue we say farewell to Katurah Ottawa, our skilled Art Director, who has accepted another job in southern Maine. We will miss her sense of humor and ready smile.
Seamlessly taking her place is Alex Theberge, a skilled editorial designer with extensive computer, publishing and photography experience.
So enjoy the March edition of The Maine Sportsman, go to the Sportsman's Show, and get outside to enjoy the record snow-pack and the longer, warmer weather that's just around the corner.

Guardians of the Galaxy Shatters Box Office Record
by Mike Stanz
posted Aug 5 2014 5:00AM
It's been a pretty good year for the folks at Marvel Comics.
In the spring, their
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
did very well in theaters.
And this weekend, their new untested
Guardians of the Galaxy
set a new record for a film opening in August, taking in a staggering $94 million. That's $25 million better than the previous record-hoolder, 2007's
The Bourne Ultimatum
Not bad for something with a castful of unfamiliar characters. Including a small-man-sized talking weapon-wielding raccoon. Yeah, I have to admit – that's kind of cool.
It looks like these straight-off-the-comic-page movies aren't just for geeks anymore. Either that, or I have entered geekhood.

Air Video HD
By Bit Cave Ltd.
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
When we started working on Air Video HD we had one simple objective in mind: To build the best video streaming app technically possible. With the 2.0 release, we know we came to this closer than ever.
If you have your videos on your computer and want to enjoy them on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Apple TV, this is the app for you.
Download and install the server software on your Mac or PC (Linux coming soon) and you'll be watching your videos on your device in seconds. Going somewhere without network access? Download is just one tap away.
Don't worry about video formats, codecs and bitrates, let Air Video HD handle the dirty details for you. If needed, Air Video HD will transparently transcode the video ("on fly") so that it plays on all supported iOS devices, including Apple TV (with surround sound and soft subtitles). But we took special care to ensure that transcoding is only done when necessary. No matter what format the video is in, AVI, DivX, MKV and other videos just work.
Major Features in Air Video HD 2.0
* Beautiful user interface optimized for iOS 8. With special support for iPhone 6 and 6+, we make sure your valuable screen space is not wasted
* State of the art playback pipeline. We take our transcoding seriously. Support for soft subtitles, H.264 passthrough for your HD videos and surround sound on Apple TV will let you enjoy your media the way it is supposed to be.
* Video Download. Going somewhere without internet access? Air Video HD is the easiest way to get your videos to device. Simply browse to your video and press download. That's it. With one slider you decide if you want to prioritize video quality or save space on device.
* Synchronized settings. You can stop video on you iPhone and resume on your iPad. Playback settings (including subtitle and audio selection), history and many other are synchronized as well.
* History. Quickly navigate between previously visited folders and played files. See which videos have already been played and which are new. Did we mention that history can be synchronized across all your devices?
* Audio and Subtitle synchronization adjustment (2.0). Your subtitles being out-of-sync is no longer a problem, you can correct it in just few taps.
* Video playback speed control (2.0). In a hurry? Speed it up!
* Aspect ratio control (2.0). Now you can finally correct those those weird looking videos. Also works when playing Apple TV of course!
* Many other features waiting for you to explore
Note that Air Video HD will not play DRM protected videos. All video content purchased through iTunes includes DRM. Video podcast content is free and does not include DRM protection.
The free server software (available for OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and Microsoft Windows) is needed to stream and convert the videos and can be downloaded at http://airvideoapp.com .
What's New in Version 2.0.2
Display download speed
Improved download reliability (needs server 2.1)
64-bit build
Customer Reviews
Great App But Lacks Some Things... Still
Still no metadata artwork? What gives? Why display random screen shots of movies when the library has artwork? I just don't get it, very frustrating.
Air Video HD is a nice update to Air Video. I didn't mind having to pay again for the app since I use it so often and at $2.99 it's reasonably priced.
Overall this is a really good app for streaming your own movie collection. However, there are a few things that hold back this app from receiving 5 stars. I won't list all the things I think are missing or incomplete except for my biggest complaint.
With an improved user interface and new features I thought for sure the App would now display the movie Artwork (when available). Instead the App simply displays some random screen shot from the movie. This is very annoying. Why wouldn't the developer create the app to read the meta data art work that already exists? Makes no sense. Displaying movie artwork is much nicer graphically than random screen shots.
Although the app is visually much improved from the previous version there are some missing elements, it just seems incomplete. It's taken several years to finally receive this update, so it's disappointing to see it still lacking things like movie artwork.
I'm happy
This is one of my favorite apps. On my iPhone and iPad I can access (download or stream) files on my computer at home from anywhere in the world without a problem. Many neat details I like, f.ex. subtitle syncing. Of course there is always room for improvement … but I'm happy!
Video continues to play during a phone call...
The new update fix the problems on iOS 8. Once again, the best video app for iPhone!
