INTRODUCTION The Dipole Industry Quench Heaters (DIQH) test system has been prepared to verify the proper functioning of quench heaters on pre-series magnets assembled and instrumented with quench heaters in industry. To perform this test an energy from a capacitor bank is dissipated in each quench heater of the magnet at ambient temperature. Safety precautions have been undertaken due to the high energy that would be dangerous for persons. The capacitor bank (7.05mF) is discharged in one quench heater at a time. Firstly 715J (450V) is applied, secondly the nominal value of 2550J (850V) is dissipated. The applied voltage and current are recorded on a labview program. Discharge validity can be evaluated from automatic calculations displayed. The 8 quench heaters of a magnet shall be verified following this procedure. 2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 2.1 GENERAL The quench heater power supply is a high energy capacitor bank. It has been designed in such a way that the personal safety shall never be violated. The crate containing the capacitors will never have to be opened which would leave un-accessible the parts under voltage or current carrying conductors under operating conditions. 2.2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS This instruction is dedicated to people with a suitable technical training and education, familiar with electrical risks and who can keep the risk for themselves and for others as low as possible. Only authorised personnel shall be allowed to operate the DIQH test system. Before operating the quench heater power supply make sure you have read and understood the operating instructions. Ensure that you observe all the hints and warnings contained within it. If not following the operation instructions, you contravene the safety regulations for operating the DIQH test system. Before operating the quench heater power supply check for any obvious signs of physical damage that may occur during transportation and installation. In case of doubt report immediately to the designers of the quench heater power supplies in CERN/LHC/ICP group. The quench heater power supply must be powered with 230VAC referenced to earth. It is forbidden to disconnect mains cable during whole operation of the apparatus. All cabling connections must be done before powering any hardware equipment. It is forbidden to disconnect any of the connectors under a capacitor bank charge voltage exceeding 50V. The quench heater power supply may only be operated in a clean and dry environment. Ensure that no objects or liquids can get into the crate through the ventilation grids. The quench heater power supply shall not be operated in the vicinity of flammable gases or fumes. The quench heater power supply is air cooled by convection. Therefore, ensure that the ventilation grills are not obstructed and that airflow is available. Once a series of tests is terminated, check the voltage that shall be less than 50V on the labview display. If higher voltage is observed, reset and trigger immediately the power supply again to keep the voltage below 50V. Then switch the power OFF by using the main switch. EDMS No. 342797 rev. 0.1-draft Page 5 of 11 Never leave the quench heater power supply under power and unused for prolonged duration, i.e. during night or without direct supervision. Capacitor bank shall be discharged for transportation and stand by. For troubleshooting consult directly quench heater power supplies designers in CERN/LHC/ICP group. 3. HARDWARE 3.1 EQUIPMENT The DIQH system is composed of: One Macintosh PC instrumented with a National Instruments acquisition card and labview program One National Instruments connection board for input signals linked to the acquisition card One trigger box that generates 6-0V trigger signal on acquisition card and 12-0V on the quench heater power supply One quench heater power supply containing the capacitor bank; power output (Socapex connector) is to be connected to the quench heater strips on sockets 3.2 CABLING All interconnections shall be done before switching on any instrument. Quench heater power supply Trigger Monitor Courant Macintosh with labview program Power output to quench heater Socket Connection board Trigger box Connection board Wire Socket Monitor 3 33 4 66, 67 Courant 1 65 2 31 Trigger White 28 Blue 61 EDMS No. 342797 rev. 0.1-draft Page 6 of 11 3.3 CAPACITOR BANK CHARGE AND DISCHARGE Once all equipment has been switched ON and connected properly, especially power output connected to quench heater, reset the quench heater power supply with its front panel button to allow the charge of the capacitor bank. To discharge it into the quench heater, press the button on the trigger box that will send the trigger signal. 4. SOFTWARE USE The labview program will be launched automatically when the Macintosh is switched on. By pressing this button, the user has access to the online values of voltage, View Online current, and trigger level. Voltage charge must be controlled from this window. From this button the user has access to the next window from where the ON configuration file for DIQH can be loaded (use default configuration). Then press to arm the system that is now waiting for a trigger signal from the trigger RUN box. Once a trigger is received, the measurement file can be saved under a chosen directory and name. Voltage and current discharge are displayed on the graphs. Automatic calculation of discharge parameters can be visualized by pressing on QH TEST . The next window is then displayed. A particular attention should be taken on initial resistance (~20), time constant (~140ms) and its derivative (-1<'<1), energy (~2550J for 850V, ~715J for 450V), and on minimum reached voltage at the end of discharge (Vmin<10V). EDMS No. 342797 rev. 0.1-draft Page 7 of 11 Previously stored data can be visualised and saved with comments by pressing on View AND Rec Info stored data 5. OPERATION PROCEDURE The 8 quench heater strips of the magnet should be tested one by one in the following way. 5.1 TO CONNECT QUENCH HEATER TO THE POWER OUTPUT The quench heater power supply must show trigger signal on the front panel (trigger led indicator flashing red) Displayed voltage on labview window must be lower than 50V Check whether the SOCAPEX connector is disconnected from the quench heater power supply crate Connect the quench heater leads to the sockets Reconnect the SOCAPEX connector on the quench heater power supply crate 5.2 FOR 715J ENERGY Press reset button on the front panel of the quench heater power supply to charge Control the charge voltage on the labview window Once 450V is reached, arm the acquisition system Send a trigger signal from the trigger box by pressing the button on it Check the discharge parameters to validate the test result 5.3 FOR MAXIMUM ENERGY (2550J) Press reset button on the front panel of the quench heater power supply to charge Control the charge voltage on the labview window Once 850V is reached, arm the acquisition system Send immediately a trigger signal from the trigger box by pressing the button on it Check the discharge parameters to validate the test result 5.4 TO DISCONNECT QUENCH HEATER FROM POWER OUTPUT The quench heater power supply must show trigger signal on the front panel (trigger led indicator flashing red) Displayed voltage on labview window must be lower than 50V Disconnect the SOCAPEX connector from the quench heater power supply crate Disconnect the quench heater leads from the sockets 6. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION 6.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION This specification concerns the supply of the heater discharge power supplies for the LHC superconducting magnet protection. In case of a magnet quench these power supplies will energise the heater strips inside the magnet. By these means the propagation of the quench is enhanced in order to prevent damage to the magnet coil. Each power supply contains a capacitor bank with 6 Aluminium electrolytic capacitors (4.7mF/500V) resulting in a total EDMS No. 342797 rev. 0.1-draft Page 8 of 11 capacitance 2x14.1mF/500V which is connected in series. The nominal operating voltage of the capacitors will be Unom=450V giving a maximum stored energy of 2.86kJ. According to LHC-PM-ES-0002.00 each magnet will experience approximately 10 quenches after its installation in the LHC tunnel. In addition there will be approximately two test discharges for diagnostic purposes per year (during LHC shutdown periods). The result is an average of 50 discharges during 20 years of LHC operation. Probably most of the DQHDS remain powered and charged during the shutdown periods, resulting in about 175000 hours of operation within 20 years. This requires long life quality for all parts of the power supply and an industrial grade manufacturing process. 6.2 ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS The power supplies will rely on passive cooling and face the following atmospheric conditions (see also LHC-PM-ES-0002.00 paragraph 6.6). Temperature: 14°C - 26°C Dew point: 12°C 6.3 MAIN PARAMETERS The general electric parameters of the power supply and the specification of all external connectors are summarised in the following tables. Mains power 230V 50Hz redundant UPS Power consumption 15W (35W peak), cos0.88 Nominal charging voltage 2x450V Time constant 78ms (discharge) Charging time 25min Stored energy 2.9kJ Trigger (negative logic) 12V 0V Fuses 1A, 60mA Temperature range 0°C - 70°C Weight 15kg Name Ratings Type Mains power 230V FCI-Burndy UTG0187PVDEX Trigger 12V/1A DC FCI-Burndy UT00104S21T female Charge detector 12V/1A DC FCI-Burndy UT00104P21T male Charge monitor 15V/0.1A DC Quench heater 1kV/100A surge Amphenol Socapex SL E F 22 B The power supply follows a modular design and consists of six functional units. 6.4 CAPACITOR BANK Each power supply contains a capacitor bank with 2x3 Aluminium electrolytic capacitors (4.7mF/500V) forming a total capacitance of 2x14.1mF/500V connected in series. The nominal operating voltage of the capacitors will be Unom=450V giving a maximal stored energy of 2.86kJ. The individual capacitors are connected with the help of screwed copper busbars. The centre tap of the capacitor bank is directly connected to the analog ground point of the power supply. A fast freewheeling diode (Schottky type, forward recovery time=0.9µs), mounted in parallel to each sub-circuit containing 3 capacitors, will keep the capacitor bank balanced in case of failures (open circuits, lack of charge). EDMS No. 342797 rev. 0.1-draft Page 9 of 11 6.5 TRIGGER CIRCUIT After receiving the trigger signal (falling ramp 12V 0V) from the quench detector, the trigger circuit provides the firing pulse for both thyristors. At the same time it stops the low voltage B supply for 5 seconds, in order to guarantee a safe turn-off of the thyristors after the capacitor discharge. The heart of the circuit is a NE556 double timer triggered by the falling ramp. It produces the rectangular shape 50ms firing pulse for the thyristors (output 2) and stops at the same time the low voltage B power supply for 5s in order to guarantee a safe turn-off of the thyristors (output 1). The firing pulse is transferred to the thyristors with the help of two current transformers (ratio 2:1). The trigger circuit requires +15V/1A DC stabilised power. 6.6 CHARGE DETECTOR The charge detector circuit signalises to the control system whether the power supply is correctly charged. In case of a power supply failure, this signal will prohibit beam injection. During operation with beam or magnets ramped to current levels above injection, this signal will not cause a beam/power abort, but send a warning to the control system that the specific power supply is no longer available. The "power supply charged" signal will be sent if 90% of the nominal voltage is reached, whereas the "power supply not charged" signal will be given at 80% of the nominal voltage. For the time being the nominal charging voltage is U nom =450V (Uon=405V, Uoff=360V). The capacitor bank of the power supply consists of 2x3 Aluminium electrolytic capacitors (4.7mF/500V) circuited in parallel. In addition each group is protected by a free wheeling diode circuited in parallel to the capacitors. The two groups of 3 capacitors each are connected in series giving a total capacitance of 7.5mF/1000V. The input of the charge detector consists of two voltage dividers across each group of 3 capacitors. The output of these dividers (+10V for the positive branch, -10V for the negative branch for Unom) is connected to two comparators (LM311) wired as Schmitt-triggers. The reference for these comparators is given by 10V reference of the Zener type. In order to use a single reference the negative branch sums the output of the divider and the 10V-reference signal. Both comparator outputs are connected together with diodes forming a logical AND, which is controlling a relay for the output signal. In case the input voltage is smaller than U nom the comparator outputs sink a current of about 15mA to ground. As soon as all capacitors are charged the current drops out. The positive feedback used in the Schmitt-trigger configuration guarantees a fast single transition. The relay has two working contacts one for the output signal and a second one for switching the indicator LED's mounted on the front panel (GREEN for charged, ORANGE for not charged). The charge detector circuit requires ±15V/1A DC stabilised power. 6.7 CHARGE MONITOR The charge monitor circuit provides a signal for the acquisition and monitoring controller (DQAMC), which is equivalent to 1/100 of the voltage across the capacitor bank. The signal will be used for diagnostic purposes i.e. test discharge of the power supply for verification of the operational status of the capacitor bank and status of the quench heater. The capacitor bank of the power supply consists of 2x3 Aluminium electrolytic capacitors (4.7mF/500V) circuited in parallel. The two groups of 3 capacitors each are connected in series resulting in a total capacitance of 7.5mF/1000V. The output voltages of two dividers (1/100) across each group of 3 capacitors are added and connected to the input of an isolation amplifier (AD210BN). The output signal of this amplifier is then available for further processing in the AMC. The charge detector circuit requires +15V/100mA DC stabilised power. EDMS No. 342797 rev. 0.1-draft Page 10 of 11 6.8 CURRENT MONITOR The current monitor circuit provides a signal for the acquisition and monitoring controller, which of equivalent to 1/25 of the current in the quench heater circuit. The signal will be used for diagnostic purposes i.e. test discharge of the power supply for verification of the operational status of the quench heater. The current monitor circuit is based on LEM HAS 100-S current sensor with a galvanic isolation between the primary circuit (high power) and the secondary circuit (electronic circuit). The current detector circuit requires +5V/12mA DC stabilised power. 6.9 SOFT START CIRCUIT In order to avoid high peak power, the circuit limits the current during the charging of the capacitor banks (Icharge<20mA, Pmax (3 capacitors)10W). As an extra advantage the current limitation makes it possible to reduce the final charging resistance to 1k. The current is limited by a series connection of three resistors (20k, 10k and 1k10W each). Two of these resistors can be short-circuited with the help of relays controlled by a NE556 double timer. The timing sequence is to short-circuit the first resistor after 400s and the second after 1200s leading to a total charging time of about 25 minutes. The trigger for the timer is automatically generated as the circuit is powered. As the operation of components like MOSFET-transistors or photo-triacs is not recommended for circuits exposed to irradiation with high-energy particles, the use of relays is the only feasible solution. The charge detector circuit requires +15V/1A DC stabilised power. 6.10 INTERNAL POWER SUPPLIES Internal voltage levels are produced with two power supplies. One will provide 2x450V DC, as charging voltage of the capacitor banks and a second stabilised power supply with 2x15V DC will feed the electronic sub-circuits. 6.11 CONNECTION TO EARTH The housing of the power supply is directly connected to earth. The analogue ground point of the power supply is connected to earth via a 1M2x500kresistor in parallel with a 63mA slow blowing fuse. EDMS No. 342797 rev. 0.1-draft Page 11 of 11 7.

Nacho Libre painting
I finished this painting a couple of weeks...geez, wait...more than a month ago now. I just realized I never posted it. It may not be conceptual art persay...but it's pretty much just me learning the digital ropes. I really like how the face came out. I'm trying to develop a style where some areas of depicted naturally realistic and other flat and really stylized. I also want to keep some of my pencil line-work into the finished piece as well.
Please, feel free to comment or crit. Thanks guys

Hahahahaha, I laughed when I read the title, still have to see the movie. This is awesome though, like it was said before, color is awesome. His face slimmed down a bit when taken to finish. I would expand on the weight in his face just a bit, even in the double chin, and it probably will look like him a bit more. Thanks for the laugh -

I love this. It's the perfect style for the subject matter. But, sadly I'm going to have to agree that he doesn't really resemble Jack Black. I'm geussing you may have not used a reference?
August 11th, 2006 #7
Thanks for the comments everyone.
I had the colors pretty much set in my mind when I started this one. Essentially I just wanted to recreate the same color palette used in the movie. I remember seeing the trailer and thinking, damn, everything in this movie was thought of. The whole thing was filled with perfect sky blues, warm yellows and vibrant pinks.
As far as it not really looking like Jack Black, I guess I can see that. I did use reference from the movie, a couple of different shots infact. I think the problem may be in that i did thin his face down a bit when I painted it and jack black usually has some pretty extreme facial expressions and maybe, i guess, it was to harder to capture that raw energy. The one thing that i noticed in all his publicity shots was his intense stare and I tried to capture at least. Maybe, at some point, i'll go back in and add some fat to that face of his.
Thanks everyone.

The Jicarilla Apache also alleged that the Government illegally disbursed the Nation's funds to pay BIA employees, delayed the deposit of the Nation's funds into the proper accounts, and allowed the Nation's trust fund accounts to be overdrawn.

Now is the time to apply for a position in local industry, said Grayson County Industrial Development Officer Dudley Cooper.
"Right now, almost every company in this community is hiring," Cooper said during the Thursday, Jan. 23 Leitchfield City Council Planning Session.
Many companies in the community are currently utilizing organizations such as Omni Personnel to gather and screen potential applicants, Cooper said in a later interview.
Employees who Omni Personnel determines are a good fit for an available position in a company are often recommended for employment, according to Leitchfield Omni Personnel Office Manager Linda Borland
Cooper said, "It's a good time to go and apply and put your name in the pot."
Cooper attributes the job growth in Grayson County to the economy's overall improvement.
"We have started really recovering from the recession," he said.
In addition, the quality of goods produced by local manufacturers has helped to strengthen Grayson County's economy, according to Cooper.
"We've just got good products," he said.
Cooper recommends that prospective employees of local industry visit the Leitchfield office of Omni Personnel, located at 308 West Market Street.
Omni Personnel's screening process asks potential company employees to fill out employment applications in the Omni office, where they are then reviewed, according to Borland.
If Omni Personnel determines that, based on his or her application, the prospective employee will be a good fit for a company's position, he or she then must pass a drug test, after which time he or she will be recommended for employment at that company, Borland said.
Omni Personnel is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and may be contacted by phone at 270-259-9640.


text: Google Maps' return to the iPhone and iPad this week may not be permanent, an analyst said. "It would have been out of the question," said Ezra Gottheil, an analyst with Technology Business Research, referring to a rejection of Google's submission of Maps to the iOS App Store. Not only would that have been a public relations disaster, it would have flown in the face of Apple CEO Tim Cook's suggestion last September that dissatisfied customers use alternatives, including Google's Maps, which could be accessed through iOS' Safari browser. "But down the line, if Apple feels they have a compelling reason, if they believe they then had a superior app, they may choose not to accept Google Maps in some future manifestation," Gottheil said. Apple has rejected apps before by citing duplication of effort with its own pre-installed apps. Read the full story at ComputerWorld.

It was most likely the tape. I had a few bad TDK MiniDVs that ruined some of my baby's important 'Firsts' I managed to capture on video. Hard lesson learned - Make sure to record a min or two of test vid and review it to make sure the tape is ok.

Public Transit advocates lobby Lansing
By Gretchen Millich / Kevin Lavery, WKAR Radio News
(East Lansing, MI) – Supporters of public transportation visited state legislators in Lansing Tuesday to lobby for more investment in bus, light rail, commuter rail and high-speed rail systems in Michigan.
Business and local government leaders say the state could loose up to $120-million in matching federal funds starting next year, if the legislature does not increase state funding for public transportation.
Clark Harder is with the Michigan Public Transit Association.
He says locally, the public supports bus and rail service.
He says for every dollar Michigan taxpayers send to the federal government for public transportation, the state gets back only 42 cents.

Man to stand trial for grisly slaying of Vista woman
VISTA -- A man accused of stabbing a woman as many as 80 times -- using hedge clippers and two knives among other alleged weapons -- after she interrupted an apparent robbery in her upscale Vista home will stand trial on murder, robbery and burglary charges, a judge ruled Monday
But Superior Court Judge Joan Weber found there was not enough evidence to bind Derlyn Ray Threats for trial on allegations that he also attempted to rape the Carolyn Rebecca Neville, who'd just come home from dropping her 6-year-old son off at school.
Threats, 24, has pleaded not guilty to the brutal Sept. 1 attack on Neville in her home on the 1200 block of Diablo Place, which has since been renamed Via Angelica. Threats was in court Monday for a preliminary hearing to determine if prosecutors had enough evidence to send him to trial.
Deputy District Attorney Christine Trevino said she hopes to announce in the next few weeks whether her office will seek the death penalty for Threats if he is convicted.
Threats' attorney, Deputy Public Defender Sloan Ostbye, said after the hearing that Threats maintains his innocence in the attack.
Trevino has contended that Neville came home and began doing housework when she was allegedly attacked by Threats, who Trevino maintains was burglarizing the home and may have seen Neville drive up.
At Monday's hearing, a sheriff's deputy who spotted Threats running from the Neville home moments after neighbors heard screams said Threats had a stun gun and a bloodied wooden stump of a hammer stuffed down the legs of his sweatpants. Deputy Mark Ritchie also testified that Threat's was shoeless and his socks were "stained with blood."
Deputies were in the neighborhood responding to a neighbor's 911 report of a woman screaming for help, but the neighbor was unsure where the screams were coming from.
Ritchie said the Neville home was the deputies' first stop on a planned house-to-house check.
Both Ritchie and Deputy Eric Franssens testified they heard a metal security door slam in the back of the Neville house as they approached, and then Franssens spotted Threats about to jump a fence to get out of the backyard. Franssens said he locked eyes with Threats.
"His eyes got real big, like 'Uh-oh,' " Franssens testified.
The two uniformed deputies gave chase and caught Threats a few houses down the block.
Franssens said he then ran back to the locked Neville house, banged on the back door, peeked in a back window -- and saw a dog barking and growling over the body of 24-year-old Neville.
"I could see a major amount of blood coming from her head," Franssens said.
San Diego County Chief Medical Examiner Glenn Wagner, who performed the autopsy on Neville the morning following the attack, testified that the victim had 74 stab wounds, and possibly as many as 80. Neville also had at least two markings from a stun gun, the pathologist said.
She had at least nine potentially fatal stab wounds, Wagner said. None of the injuries was likely to have brought instantaneous death, he said.

Every year in October, Japan's largest electronics show, Ceatec, showcases all that's new and upcoming from the world's sharpest consumer electronics vendors. Ceatec 2007 brought us some world-first technologies, including a 3mm thick TV, a laptop with super-charged graphics processing and some new high-definition video recorders.
Here are our picks from Ceatec and other new gadgets from the past month:
Samsung music phones
Away from Ceatec, Samsung unveiled a refreshed line-up of three new cell phones that are targeted at music lovers. The top-of-the-range SGH-i450 boasts an amplifier developed by high-end audio specialists Bang & Olufsen and runs the Symbian S60 smartphone software platform. It has a 2.4in display and a 2Mp camera. It works on WCDMA (wideband code division multiple access) networks and supports HSDPA (high-speed downlink packet access) data service up to 3.6M bps (bits per second).
The phone will first appear in Italy at the end of October and will follow in other European countries. It will cost about €360 (£250) before carrier subsidies. One weak point of the handset is the amount of built-in memory, which is just 35MB. That's about enough for 7 to 10 songs, which is disappointing for a music phone. Memory can be expanded up to 4GB with a Micro SD memory card.

This one is definitely one for the recipe box! Mmmm . . . good. I added thyme and dill to the fish before coating with flour. Try it . . . you'll like it! cheers
This was very good, but, like another reviewer, I added some lemon zest with the juice. Also, I sauted some mushrooms in the oil after removing the fish. I then added a splash of white wine at the end and let in boil for about 1 minute. Otherwise there was definitely not enough sauce.
I made this dish last night--and it was wonderful. Easy to prepare, cooking time was perfect, and lemon sauce was a good. I added lemon zest as well as the lemon juice; this gave a very nice lemon flavor. The capers were a nice touch too.
I have made this recipe 2 times and each time my family loved it....even my children who won't usually eat trout. This is by far the best trout recipe that I have ever made!
Our family found this dish excellent. We have made it for dinner several times already and remains one of our favorite dishes. Definitly a quick, simple and tasty meal. Only 2 things I did differently: the first was that instead of using trout, I used tolapia. The other is that you need to add more butter, because there is not enough sauce.
Mmmmm Good! Subtle, yet full of flavour that did not overpower the fish. I used the recipe exactly, adding seasoning salt to the dredging flour instead of regular salt. So simple. I made extra sauce to put on the asparagus accompanying it.
This recipe is absolutely delicious. Can't wait for trout season to start again. As soon as we go out and catch the fresh trout, this is the recipe my husband and I will use over and over again.
I meant to review this a long time ago. I've made this at least a half dozen times and it's always been perfect, it's my favorite trout recipe. I skip the capers and usually add some slivered almonds to the sauce. I also flavor the flour some with some assorted dried herbs.
good. but remember to rinse out the capers or it gets too salty
Surprisingly easy and delicious! Although not in anyway complex in terms of favor, I enjoyed the simplicity of this unassuming dish.

Comment: Re:Can't they just get it right? (Score 2) 88
My anecdotal experience:
I've experienced audio issues relating to graphics cards with poor EMI shielding on the soundcard causing it to pick up noise from some gfx card circuit or component. This usually manifests itself as a high-pitched whine audible in headphones or speakers that varies with gfx card load/framerate - this is not the same as coil whine that is audible inside the actual PC case.
If your soundcard is properly designed and manufactured, this shouldn't be an issue.
Also, PCI-E timing issues like on older Creative (yeah, I know) PCI-E cards that used a PCI to PCI-E bridge chip caused things like crackles, horrible latency issues and all sorts of fun symptoms all the way up to BSODs. This can obviously be alleviated by using a decent soundcard with good drivers from a reputable company.
I also doubt these issues are confined to just nVidia or just AMD. The quality of your motherboard and even your PSU can play a part in this too and it's either a lot of research or expensive trial-and-error.

The trick with any appliance is to remove all the extras,before you get to the problem.Considering that it has electricity, the first step was to turn it off.After that it was a matter of removing the top burners,range knobs and locate the panel screws that secure it to the stove.Locate the part,remember the colors of where the wires go,remove,replace wires,replace new part with wires,slide into place, and reassemble.Turn on electriciy and Tada.

We lead busy lives since we work full time during the week and also are very involved with the boys schooling and activities. I enjoy handling the rental of our one condo since I feel that I have more control over providing the best vacation possible for my guests. I love getting to know all my guests, hearing from them year after year, and sharing my beach retreat with them. It is extremely rewarding work for me, and still is after 12 years.
Donna purchased this condo in 2003
David and I have traveled all around the world and have seen many places. Additionally, we have lived in several Florida towns and have selected the Clearwater/St. Pete area as our home. We love St. Pete Beach for many reasons, and particularily our area of the the beach. Every time we visited the condo, prior to purchasing, we noticed that the beach and water was beautiful and peaceful at all hours of the day. The sand is like white sugar and the water is great for swimming or floating. We love long walks on the beach and stopping for lunch, dinner, or drinks along the way. Our boys enjoy playing paddle ball, building sand castles, and boogie bording in the water. It is a great place to create family memories that will last forever. I also can't forget the importance of allowing us to rejuvinate and relax (There are no crowds, traffic, or rushing around...only the sounds of the ocean, sitting or walking on the beach, and watching beautiful sunsets.) The condo has been a real blessing.
With our unit, you get a spacious living area that accommodates a family of 4 or 5 very comfortably. Long stays are easy since it is equipped with a full kitchen, washer/dryer, designer furnishings, luxury linens, and more. You get the peace and serenity of being directly on the beautiful beach. Additionally, we hope you will get some restful nights sleep on an extremely comfortable king bed with luxury pillows and linens. You can also enjoy our brand new flat screen LCD tv in the living room when you want to cool-off in the air conditioning.
We had a great time at St. Pete Beach, our first time here. Condo was great, warm, plenty of room! Great views from the balcony! Couldn't have asked for prettier weather.
My family of four and I stayed over March break and had an amazing time. The unit was clean and had everything we needed. The view from the balcony was spectacular. The building is located centrally with stores and restaurants within walking distance. We have already booked our vacation here next year.
We had a wonderful time, the condo was great, people were friendly and the beach was beautiful. We also found some great restaurants.
I knew the condo was going to be smaller than what we have stayed in the past. The 2nd bedroom does not have a closet nor did it have a dresser to put clothes away. There is only a small closet in the master bedroom. We were there for a month so we brought a lot of clothes that needed to be hung. The kitchen does not have any storage to put away food items. The owner did bring in a small bakers rack and a small dresser that she put in the living room to help with storage. The area is very nice, beach is great, pool was nice and warm and lots of places to walk to.
We are just back from a 1-week stay. Property is exactly as described, with some nice touches. If you needed it (from dish soap to beach chairs) if you looked around it was probably there. Enjoyed pool, hot tub, and the fact that the property was right on the beach. Relaxing time.
I just retured to KC from another relaxing, wonderful week at "my home" condo!! It just gets better and better staying in this amazing condo on just the perfect spot on St. Pete's Beach. The condo is clean, comfortable, quiet and has all the ammenities that one would want. My friend and I took long walks on the beach. Two miles north, just off the beach is an amazing Italian deli/bakery. We walk up for breakfast!! Two and 1/2 miles south is a pier with benches for resting. No more beautiful place to walk than on this beach. Thank you for sharing your amazing condo. I plan to stay many, many more times!!!
The condo was smaller than thought and it is a side view of the beach . The condo could use a paint job and updated dishwasher and stove . The pool was heated and the beach is lovely .

Immelt: 'Our job is to make our ideas his ideas'
By Ezra Klein,
I'm in Cleveland right now for the Cleveland Clinic's annual innovation summit. Last night, Jeffrey Immelt, CEO of General Electric and chairman of President Obama's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, delivered the keynote and sat for a Q&A. My notes on his talk:
- Immelt likes equations almost as much as I like graphs. For health care, it's "cost = usage x price(inflation)." Implication: To tackle cost, you either need to get usage down, by making people healthier or restricting access, or get prices down, either through price controls or innovation.
- Business types really hate Barack Obama. Everybody sort of knows that, but it's hard to get a sense of it if you're not in the room listening to them laugh bitterly at questions like, "Does Obama understand the damage regulations are doing to business?"
- In fact, this audience is so down on Obama that Immelt, who you have to assume is one of the more pro-Obama CEOs out there, is not willing to defend him or his policies before this audience. At all. Even a little. His only comment is that people need to roll up their sleeves and help rather than complain. And his answers to Maria Bartiromo's questioning slyly suggest sympathy with the audience. Asked by Bartiromo how he'll make the White House listen to him and the business community, his answer, with a smile, is "repetition." Everyone laughs. "Our job is to make our ideas his ideas," Immelt says.
- This is the sort of audience that makes you think the White House is going to have a lot of trouble meeting its fundraising goals next year.
- "When you criticize Wall Street, they don't care. You're hurting the guy in Illinois who wants to build a factory."
- I should say that this is more a comment on the conference and some of the other panels than on Immelt himself, but these folks really, really feel persecuted and unappreciated. The common response to this, of course, is that corporate profits have hit record levels in recent years and the top 1 percent has never been richer. But if you need more evidence that money doesn't buy happiness, you should sit with some CEOs for an hour.
- "75 percent of the health-care dollar is in chronic disease. This is where the neat innovations will happen."
- People here really don't like the FDA, either. Interestingly, they keep comparing with to the equivalent regulators in Europe and Canada, who they say move much faster. An FDA employee I speak with later agrees that his counterparts in Europe move much faster. The American people have to decide how stringent they want the FDA's standards to be, he explains. I haven't looked into this enough to have a strong opinion, but to my knowledge, Canadians aren't dropping like flies because their drugs aren't sufficiently tested, are they?
- "The U.S. is historically where all the medical innovation has taken place. But with budget cuts and changes at the FDA, that's no longer true."
- Everyone wants to cut government spending. No one wants to cut the government spending they benefit from. This crowd agrees the budget is out of control but strongly opposes cuts to the National Institutes of Health and Medicare providers.
- "Everyone in this room should spend a week in India. Even more so than in China." What India has, Immelt says, is a health-care sector with no insurance system to speak of and thus a strong market incentive for innovations that make health-care services radically cheaper. Smart companies will watch those innovations, he says, and bring them back here. Also, "there are not as many lawyers in India."
