MCHS Indoor Grow Lighting Trials
Morinville Community High School Urban Agriculture students have been conducting grow light trials to find out which types of lights work best for indoor edible plant growing. There are a variety of grow lights and available research is either geared towards greenhouses using grow lighting for supplemental light, or towards illegal drug operations. Students have been investigating which lights work best in a classroom setting where there is no natural sunlight, and balancing that against energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. Student conclusions will be presented below:
Exemplar Report (for students to use as a guide): Lighting Report Exemplar: LED vs. Metal Halide Lighting
Lighting Trial Conclusions:

Discussion in 'Medium Tanks' started by ziyaadb, 10 Aug 2010.
Wow! Scaping like that and no SPS? Come on Ziyaad, think again......
Log in or Sign up to hide all adverts.
Maybe 1 day in the future who knows till then its gona be a leka big fish load and some movement
Cool. Load it with Purple Tangs
HEHHHEH rather a couple of Gems if u can ship them for me from durbs
The wife has seen the light and has agreed that this tank will not be good long term for Surgeons, so i have started dosing MB7 and vodka. This tank will be SPS dominated going forward. I am winning the war on the Algae outbreak at the moment as its getting brown and dieing thanks to feeding very little and running phos remover in a reactor water boy 2 in 1 (never underestimate the power of a reactor - marco i want discount for punting you)
I have a yellow tang and a sailfin waiting to go in and after that wil start with stocking up on the SPS. What will be changed is a sump as i want to make it smaller so that i have more space for the dosing pumps and reactors.
I think that has been some of the most innovative scaping i have ever seen. Amazing man.
How do you keep them from falling over ?
What pipe did you use fir the return ?
And what is the function of the bucket at the end of the overflow ?
Thanks man
All the rocks are drilled with a acrylic plate at the bottom and the rocks are slotted in a solid plastic rod
Pipe is a black rubber pipe got from a pool shop very strong
The bucket is there to stop salt spray and also has some filter floss(i use the strong batting used in dress making) to collect dirt before it gets to skimmer. change it out once a week if not sooner
super cool scaping.Mekaeel is right,just needs sum sps to make that reef pop!
There will be no further fish added until i get a QT setup as my mate with the cube experienced a WS outbreak and seeing his fish like that made me realize the chances we take not QTing
looking awesome dude!
looking lekker boet..
Looking awesome!
Awesome looking everything!
Looks really super, and good on you for waiting for a QT tank. Wonderful decision, it certainly is worth it in the end.
After really seing 1st hand the effects of a white spot infestation there is no way i am risking my sanity and the health of my fish ever again. I would be too devastated if anything happened to these fish.
Hi, seen on another forum that you were intested in vodca dosing. Are you still doing it and if not, why did you decide against it, tried it and did not work? I am following Sonny's methods and want to try it next year. Any hints?
Tank looks good ZiyaadB, Have u planned to put some nice sand later, just my thought, would look very nice with sand bed.
Hi Boegie
Vodka dosing is awesome if you want a low nutrient system, really keeps the water clean and allows ur skimmer to take out lots of dirt. I stopped because i am no longer going to be keeping sps corals as i do not have the time for them going into the new year.
If you are going to be dosing vodka make sure you have a good strong skimmer and follow all instructions to the tee. DO NOT OVERDOSE and ensure that you remain constant.
Thanks, yes i am going to be putting some sand in. a fine crushed coral
Nice fishies Ziyaad, you need to find the time to go SPS. You know you want to
yes most def, but not now maybe in a year or 3

cathyb69 Review
I love this sink.
This is a great sink! The price was great and the sink looks wonderful in my new kitchen remodel. Just remember...the bottom is flat. Bits of food, etc. do not flow toward the drain as in a sink that is sloped. This is not necessarily a criticism, just something you might want to know. It doesn't bother me; I just use the sprayer and everything goes fine!

Skip to comments.My friend and her mom just rented a car at the Fort LauderdaleHollywood airport
Posted on 01/12/2014 7:34:17 AM PST by rktman
My friend and her mom just rented a car at the Fort LauderdaleHollywood airport and found this in the back seat...
(Excerpt) Read more at imgur.com ...
Lol, All, I've ever found in the backseat of a rentsl is a ton of dog hair.
I never saw anything! The check in guys at the car rental place must have taken it. I didn't see a damned thing!
Finders keepers...
Gun? What gun?
The sight is an EOTECH® EXPS2-2 w/G33 MAGNIFIER. About $900 new.
Its mine! I forgot it there. I figured it got dropped into the swamp with the rest of 'em when I had the canoe capsize yesterday.
Looked like an EO Tech sight (expensive) and a NV magnifier in front of it. Yep, just a bit tricked-out.....Never saw it.
I don't buy it. Smells like BS....
I hope they didnt find the hi-cap magazines that go with it. They are illegal in some places.
I recommend the Surefire 60 round magazines.
Shouldn't be to hard to find the owner and return his property.
Is being so rich as nice as people think it is?
I would seek to get the property back to the individual who last rented the car. My communication with the rental agency would be:
"I may — or may not — have found something neat that the last renter left in the car. Please give them my phone number."
If the agency asked me what it was, I would decline to identify it, but I would hint it was only a minor little personal trinket. ""Nothing too special. Just something personal they might like to have back."
Then when the person called, I would ask him to identify the item. Then I would return it to him or her. This is a very expensive piece of machinery — I would sure like it back if I lost one.
It was a 'one-fer'. Works nice - glad I have it.
Very, very doubtful: about as likely as finding a dead body in the back seat. Too bad it's not a bazooka, though.
You must send it to me so that I can track down the rightful owners.
I guesstimate the rig to be about a 2K build.
You have the right of it, sir.
There is no freaking way someone is going to leave that AR in car with knowing it's missing. This has to be a joke.
There is no freaking way someone is going to leave that AR in car with knowing it's missing. This has to be a joke.
There is no freaking way someone is going to leave that AR in car with knowing it's missing. This has to be a joke.
Generally speaking, private individuals who are true firearms enthusiasts spending bid bucks on a rig like that, are seldom the ones who lose track of them. You can bet that rig was paid for and supplied by you and me. Somewhere out there a fed is, ahem, "passing" bricks right now, wondering how she's going to explain it all away. Seen it happen. More than once.
They're good to go in FL. Hell, in FL it could have even been a Class III. WOO HOO!
I'd bet they were on the way to the SHOT show in Vegas.
It doesn't appear to be an air soft either.
I had a case where the defendant got caught with his dead wife's body in his trunk. I represented her two children in the probate case. He had been stopped for expired tags and had a warrant out for unpaid parking tickets. LOL. You just can't make this stuff up.
It's a well suped up piece of kit. If this really happened, I'd be finders keepers lol.
You didn't see the orange paint on the tip of the barrel? LOL!
Thank you sir. I would do this partly out of altruism, but partly out of selfishness: I find that acting honorably tends to come back to me in other ways. Karma, y'know.
They found a 3-D printer?
Really? Total BS
The person who left the gun isn't repsonsible enough to keep it in my opinion.
You are ALWAYS supposed to be aware of the location of your weapon.
The rental agency was too busy trying to make a claim that there was forbidden cigarette smoking in the vehicle to notice the weapon.
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet rig, man!!!
Tell ya what I'd do.
I'd take it for a quick test drive at the range. Then clean it really well. Then call the rental car company to find out the owner's contact info. Then take it to them. (I think I used, "then," way too many times. LOL!)
You may even get a small reward for the return of said item.
"My friend and her mom just rented a car at the Fort LauderdaleHollywood airport"
I'll alert the media.
If this was unintentional...someone is looking for this weapon.
Traveling alone is a nightmare... The guy probably had 3 other bags, a laptop, and was trying to download boarding passes on his phone as he was rushing to the gate to make his flight.
I especially empathize with young mothers traveling alone with 2 toddlers and a baby... alone. That is outrageous in my mind.
The car should be checked for water damage as it was likely in a bay or a river when a FReeper boating accident occurred.
Only a picture and no story? Seems a little far fetched.
If there is anything on it indicating that it is federal property it should be turned into some law enforcement agency. Preferably a sheriff rather than the local police. Be sure to get a signed receipt with a serial number just to create an official paper trail to make the sloppy feddy's life miserable rather than allowing it to be returned informally.
Finders keepers...Yeah, post that on the interwebbies and try to keep it. The dumb broad. Probably a drone over head now. Me, however...
Is being so rich as nice as people think it is?...Yes. It is.
Then when the person called,....I'd be out of the city, area or county, because I feel that weapon has been used for something nefarious, left in order to dispose of it and probably no one knows who rented the car prior.
BTW, I'm somewhat familiar with the car rental business and no way could this possibly happen. All returned vehicles are completely gone through before being rented to the next customer. If you dropped a nickel under the front seat, they would find it and vacuum it up or pocket it. The notion that they would miss an assault rifle in the back seat and leave it there for the next customer is totally ludicrous.
Chances are he reported it stolen rather than admit he forgot it so I would not want it around me.
It should be in a hard case to go in checked baggage. If the person picked up the hard case and forgot to put the gun in it, they would know as soon as they reached the baggage check-in - literally minutes after dropping off the car. Seems unlikely a rental agency would try to re-rent the same car in so little time.
my first reflex would be to keep it....then my sanity would kick in and make every effort to find the owner.
Don't want any part of a found gun.....too much can be wrong and last thing I want is a middle of the night flashbang followed by the cops shooting my cat and taking me in for a full body caviety and enima search.
Let's consider for a moment who might have left it behind, and under what circumstances it was left behind.
Keep in mind this car was rented AT AN AIRPORT!!!!!!
The soft case itself is a bit indiscreet in that environment.
I'm betting the owner already weighed the risks of retrieval and would not respond to any outreach.
And, if he did, you wouldn't want to be there to present it to him.

Double Inverted Funnel for Intervention on Shipwrecks
The scope of the DIFIS project is the study, design (including costing, planning, deployment procedures, etc.) and validation of an EU reference method for the prompt and cost-effective intervention and remediation of tanker wrecks, dealing with eventual leaks and recuperating the fuel trapped in their tanks, even at considerable depths. The proposed method will be of general applicability so long as the trapped pollutant does not dissolve and is of lower density than seawater.
A great number of wrecks exist in the sea or on the ocean bed all over the world, many of them having a quantity of hydrocarbons trapped in their tanks (cargo and/or fuel). Each one of these wrecks constitutes a more or less serious threat for the environment in the shorter or longer term.
Maritime disasters leading to major environmental pollution happen almost regularly every two to three years: Amoco-Cadiz in 1978, Tanio in 1980, Aegean Sea in 1992, etc. In December 1999, the sinking of the tanker Erika caused a major pollution on the coasts of Brittany and triggered several measures aiming at the prevention of similar maritime catastrophes. Several proposals were made on the prompt mitigation of the results of such accidents, by treating the released hydrocarbons with intervention on the wreck to seal the leaks or pumping the trapped hydrocarbons out. However, few of these proposals went further than the conceptual state; none of them was anywhere close to a practical intervention system.
On 19 November 2002, the tanker Prestige, loaded with 77 000 tonnes of heavy fuel oil, broke apart and sunk 133 miles off Cape Finisterre. At the beginning of December 2002, the Prestige wreck was leaking as much as 125 tonnes of oil every day. Although many of the 20 leaks were stopped by the submersible Nautilus of Ifremer, 14 months after the accident the wreck was still leaking about 350 kg daily. An intervention method through special 'shuttle bags' was developed and tested by the Spanish company Repsol YPF to extract the oil from the wreck. At the end of the process, almost two years after the accident, less than 15% of the original fuel load of Prestige had been recuperated; 25% had leaked before its sinking, while 60% of its original load had slowly dispersed in the ocean during the 22 months it took to plan and implement the intervention.
The Prestige case puts in evidence, among other things, the lack of tools, systems and methodologies for the prompt intervention on shipwrecks in order to confine the pollution and thus eliminate the source of the pollution threat.
The DIFIS system will consist of a light, quickly deployable, flexible structure that should stay in place until all the tanks of the wreck are emptied and the pollution threat eliminated. The concept, on which the proposed method is based, is shown in the included illustrations.
The envisaged solution relies on gravity forces to channel the flux of spilt fuel towards the surface. However, instead of channelling the flux directly to the surface, where the recovery operation would be greatly affected by adverse weather conditions, the fuel-water mixture will be channelled to a buffer reservoir/separator some 30-50 m below the sea surface.
Fivos Andritsos (JRC)
Description of work
The DIFIS system is very innovative and most of its components, as well as the deployment and procedures, must be validated and optimised with experimentation as well as advanced modelling techniques and tools prior to proceeding to their detailed design.
The leaking fuel is collected by a kind of inverted funnel, consisting of a fabric dome solidly anchored around and completely covering the wreck. The collected fuel is channelled, along with seawater, through a long, flexible riser tube (typical diameter: 1.5-2 meters) into a second inverted funnel, or buffer bell, close to the sea surface (30-50 m). The buffer bell acts like a separator and reservoir. It is made from steel, having a capacity of several hundred tonnes (typically 1 000 tonnes or more). Fuel occupies the upper part of the buffer bell while heavier seawater is forced out from the open bottom. The buffer bell also has the function of a terminal buoy, which keeps the whole riser line in tension. The reservoir, into which the spilt fuel is channelled, is provided with standard equipment through which shuttle vessels can recuperate the fuel rapidly, using standard offshore loading equipment and procedures.
The principal issue regarding DIFIS has to do with the behaviour of such a wide and long tube in various configurations and patterns of sea currents. The prime factor for specifying the number and strength of anchors, tube and cables will be the pattern of the expected sea currents, and the resulting static and dynamically induced pull. This is the major issue on the feasibility and costing of the system. Another not so trivial issue is caused by the possible vibration modes induced by the currents (VIV, vortex-induced vibrations), various instability modes, possible flexing or buckling of the riser tube which in the proposed configuration presents almost no torsion resistance.
All these and other issues that will inevitably rise will be dealt with by the extensive modelling and experimentation activities planned within the project duration.
The DIFIS solution is innovative both as a technical solution and as a method to tackle both the containment (short term) and the elimination of the pollution threat (long term) at the same time. There have been concepts and solution proposed before which had one or more characteristics and/or functionalities common with DIFIS. However, none of these solutions has progressed, to our knowledge, further than an abstract concept. The few methods that have actually been applied differ drastically from DIFIS.

Place the ham hock and beef short ribs in a large enameled saucepan and cover with the water. Bring to a boil and skim the grease from the top. Peel, seed and chop the tomatoes. Add to the pot, along with the tomato juice, chopped onions, chopped green peppers, sugar, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer over low heat for two hours. Remove the meat from the pot and discard the bones. Cut the meat into bite-sized pieces and return to the pot. Add the sliced okra and cook for about 10 minutes or until the okra is tender. Add more liquid if the gumbo becomes too thick. Correct seasonings and serve with rice, if desired. Recipe by: Daisy Redman Posted to MC-Recipe Digest V1 #530 by robin carr

Wartime and post-war public works: Administration, policies and expertise about a mobilized civil ministry of Public Works in France (1914-1929)
Call for Papers Date:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
The purpose of this international conference to be held in Paris, June 19th-20th 2014 and organized as a part of the World War I commemorations in France,is to understand the directions and the actions of the Ministry of Public Works during this period with fruitful comparisons about what happened in other belligerent countries.
"Public works" are to be understood in the context of an "exuberant growth" of State powers and of shifting ministerial authorities as a way to support the war efforts and later on to organize the reconstruction. The papers will address the relationship between the central administration and local authorities, the policies implemented with their goals and perceptions as well as the technical abilities, expertises and cultures involved. The papers will take into account the fact that ministerial powers were included in a larger set of relations with the players and the representatives of public and private interests involved in activities that were disrupted in wartime and in the years following the war.
The main activities were the following ones:
• The control of mining activities and the importation of energy resources;
• The requisition of infrastructures and services for rail, road and maritime transportation to ensure the mobility of people and goods;
• The contribution to the industrialization of the war;
• The supervision of postal services and telecommunications networks;
• The reconstruction of a territory and of civil engineering works that had been destroyed or damaged during the war.
Yet, the studies covering public policies linked to Public Works during this period remain surprisingly scarce and scattered with no overview. This conference will primarily deal with a set of themes such as territorial planning disrupted by the war and restructured by post-war reconstruction policies, or the changing relationship between military and civil authorities. It will also address the development of new governmental structures generated by the war and by the reconstruction policies and marked by technically-minded ministers such as Étienne Clémentel, Albert Thomas, Louis Loucheur, Marcel Sembat or Albert Claveille. Besides, the commitment of staffs, from engineers to road menders, the changes in technical cultures, the industrialization of war and, later on, the conversion of a wartime economy towards the development of new industrial activities will be addressed.
The proceedings of the conference will be published in Pour Mémoire, the journal of the History Committee of the French Ministry of Territorial Equality and Housing and of the ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy as well as on the Internet.
Proposals (one page maximum) should be submitted, along with the author's qualifications and positions, a mention of their latest publications, as well as their mail and e-mail contact details, by January 25 2014 to:

The invention relates to a novel and improved method and apparatus for the treatment of symptoms such as dizziness, tinnitus, fluctuating hearing loss, aural fullness and visual fixation problems associated with endolympathic hydrops or Meniere's disease.
Devices for studying afflictions associated with the ear are well-known. Typically, such devices irrigate the ear with a hot or cold fluid. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,563,231 to B. A. Ducote discloses a device for irrigating the ear canal with hot or cold water in order to induce nystagmus. Irrigation of the ear with various hot or cold fluids for studying or evaluation purposes is disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,023,561 (to Proctor et al.), 4,106,493 (to Proctor et al.), 4,023,561 (to G. H. Servos) and 3,000,271 (to Harvey et al.).
Devices for treating or alleviating such afflictions by irrigating the ear with hot or cold fluids are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,325,386 and 4,466,438, both to Jay W. Katz. Such devices are disclosed as being portable for use by the patient.
The present invention concerns the treatment of afflictions of the ear by temporarily changing the pressure in the ear canal so as to alleviate Meniere's disease symptoms, such as, hearing loss, vertigo, tinnitus, nausea and aural fullness. This general approach is alluded to in the following publications: S. Ingelstedt et al., "Immediate Relief of Symptoms During Acute Attacks of Meniere's Disease Using a Pressure Chamber", Acta Otolaryngolocica, Volume 82, pages 368-378, (1976); 0. Densert et al., "Immediate Restoration of Basal Sensorineural Hearing (Meniere) Using a Pressure Chamber", Acta Otolaryngologica, Volume 8O, pages 93-100 (1975); B. Densert et al., "Overpressure and Treatment of Meniere's Disease", Laryngoscope, Volume 92 (November, 1982); and O. Tjernstrom et al., "Hearing Improvement in Attacks of Meniere's Disease Treated with Pressure Chamber", Adv. Oto-Rhino-Laryng., Volume 25, pages 54-60 (1979).
The treatments described in the foregoing publications of using induced pressure changes in the ear to alleviate symptoms of Meniere's disease is distinguished from well-known techniques of introducing a constant or fluctuating air pressure in the ear canal to measure the acoustic response of the ear. Such techniques are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,688,582 (to Heller et al.), 4,009,707 (to J. W. Ward), 3,882,848 (to Klar et al.) and 3,757,769 (to Arguimbau et al.). For example, the patent to J. W. Ward mentioned here (U.S. Pat. No. 4,009,707) discloses an ear probe connected to a pump for the purpose of evacuating pressure in the ear to facilitate an acoustic impedance measurement. The ear probe maintains an air-tight seal with the ear canal while the pump pressure is regulated at a selected level using pressure regulating techniques well-known in the art.
Unfortunately, the approach of inducing a pressure change in the ear to alleviate Meniere's disease symptoms and the like suffers from a number of disadvantages. First, the use of a pressure chamber is highly inconvenient in that the patient must hasten to the nearest clinic having a pressure chamber whenever he senses the onset of such symptoms. In many cases, this is not only inconvenient but the patient may never reach the clinic before an episode of such symptoms has run its course. Secondly, each time the patient enters the pressure chamber for treatment, skilled personnel must be present to operate the chamber, representing a significant expense to the patient, as well as making immediate treatment dependent upon the availability of such skilled personnel at any hour of the day or night.
Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provide a novel and improved portable device for automatically inducing an optimum pressure change in an individual patient's ear upon direct command from the patient.
It is a further object of the invention to provide such a device wherein the induced pressure may be preset so that the patient need make no adjustments to the device and need not remember or know his or her optimum pressure level.
It is yet another object of the invention to enable the patient to effect immediate self-treatment of symptoms such as sensorineural hearing loss, vertigo, tinnitus, aural fullness and the like without requiring the presence of skilled personnel.
A further object of the invention is to provide an inexpensive and conveniently portable device which may be controlled exclusively by the patient, if desired, for effecting immediate self-treatment of such symptoms as sensorineural hearing loss, vertigo, tinnitus, aural fullness and the like.
Yet another object of the invention is to facilitate the immediate self-treatment of sensorineural hearing loss, vertigo, tinnitus, aural fullness and the like by conveniently inducing a significant pressure change in the affected ear only without inducing a significant pressure change in any other part of the body.
A still further object of the invention is to provide an inexpensive portable apparatus which requires only the insertion of an ear probe to create an airtight seal within the ear and the actuation of an on/off switch by the patient, and nothing further, for immediate self-treatment whenever needed of sensorineural hearing loss, vertigo, tinnitus, aural fullness and the like through an induced pressure change in the outer ear whose magnitude and duration have been optimally predetermined by a doctor or audiologist for the individual patient.
In accordance with the present invention, an inexpensive portable apparatus which can be conveniently carried by the patient and activated when needed for the immediate self-treatment by the patient of such symptoms as sensorineural hearing loss, vertigo, tinnitus or aural fullness to induce a predetermined pressure change in the patient's ear for a predetermined duration or length of time. The apparatus includes an ear probe which is easily inserted into the afflicted ear by the patient so as to establish an airtight seal with the ear, an air pump or pressure source, a hose connecting the air pump with the ear probe and a control system.
In the control system, an on/off switch and an automatic pressurization switch operated by the patient activates the apparatus whenever desired. The control system also automatically controls the pressure induced by the pump and the duration of pump operation through preset controls accessible only to the patient's doctor or audiologist. Manual controls are additionally provided by which the patient himself may vary the pump pressure and duration of operation within the limits established by the preset controls. The control system further includes a quick pressure release switch accessible to the patient for relieving the pressure change induced in the ear by the pump whenever desired without having to remove the ear probe from the ear.
In carrying out the invention, the ear probe assembly may assume various embodiments. The ear probe may be supported by an earhook or by a headset, as desired. Further, the probe tip, which is preferably formed of a deformable material, is removably mounted on the end of the hose. This permits the patient to select from a variety of differently shaped probe tips the most comfortable and effective probe tip which may be mounted on the end of the hose and inserted into the ear.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating the preferred embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a diagram of an alternative embodiment of the ear probe assembly; and
FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the preferred embodiment of the probe tip assembly.
Referring in detail to the drawings there is shown by way of illustrative example in FIG. 1 the apparatus of the invention which is compact and easily carried by the patient at all times. It is to be used by the patient during episodes of dizziness, tinnitus, fluctuating hearing loss and visual fixation problems which are associated with endolymphatic hydrops or Meniere's disease. The patient can activate the apparatus of FIG. 1 whenever he senses the onset of such symptoms for relief without needing assistance.
The apparatus of FIG. 1 includes an ear probe assembly 10 having a probe tip 12 which the patient inserts into the afflicted ear with the onset of one or more of the above-named symptoms so as to effect an air-tight seal with the ear. In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the probe assembly 10 is supported by an earhook 14 which the patient rests over his ear in a well-known manner. A hose 16 interconnects the probe tip 12 and an air pump 18, enabling the air pump 18 to pressurize the patient's ear canal so as to increase or decrease the pressure therein with respect to atmospheric pressure.
A control system governs operation of the air pump 18. The control system comprises a power switch 20 through which electrical power is supplied to the pump 18 from either an A.C. household electrical outlet source 22 or from a replaceable or rechargeable battery source 24 included in the portable apparatus of FIG. 1. After turning on the power switch 20, the patient activates an automatic pressurization/depressurization switch 26 to initiate operation of the air pump 18. The pressurization/depressurization switch 26 causes the air pump 18 to gradually pressurize the patient's ear until a predetermined pressure level is reached, to maintain that pressure level and then to depressurize the patient's ear after a predetermined time limit has been reached. The time limit is controlled by a timer 28. The timer 28 is synchronized to begin running for a predetermined duration when the pressurization/depressurization switch 26 is activated by the patient. As soon as the timer 28 has run to the end of its time limit, it will turn off the pressurization/ depressurization switch 26 thereby causing the pump 18 to depressurize the patient's ear until no pressure is exerted by the pump 18. At this point, the patient may turn off the power switch 20. Alternatively, means may be provided for automatically turning off the power switch 20 at this point.
The apparatus of FIG. 1 includes controls not generally accessible to the patient. Specifically, the time limit of the timer 28 is preset by the patient's doctor or audiologist to an optimum duration for the patient. Also, the pressure maintained by the pump 18 is determined by a pressure preset control 30 which is also not generally accessible to the patient. The pressure preset control 30 may be preset to regulate the pressure of the pump 18 at a particular level lying generally in the range of -1000 millimeters of H2 O and +1000 millimeters of H2 O. Devices which regulate the pump pressure are well known in the art. The pressure preset control 30 permits the automatic pressurization/depressurization switch 26 to gradually increase the pump pressure to the desired pressure level, which may be either a positive or negative level with respect to the ambient pressure, whenever the switch 26 is activated by the patient; and, after the timer 28 runs out at the end of the predetermined time limit, to gradually decrease the pump pressure until the pump 18 exerts no pressure. Techniques well known in the art for the regulation and control of such an air pump, such as, those disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,009,707, may be employed by the skilled worker in carrying out the present invention. In so doing, the invention may take the form of embodiments other than that illustrated in FIG. 1. For example, the pressurization/depressurization switch 26 may be connected to the pressure preset controller 30 and the timer 28 may be connected to the pressurization/ depressurization switch 26. As yet another possibility, all of the controls illustrated in FIG. 1 may be combined in a single electronic device designed especially for this purpose.
For most patients, the preferred pressure is typically -500 millimeters of H2 O and the preferred time limit during which this pressure is held is 15 minutes. For assurance, a pressure gauge 32 is provided for verifying that the correct pressure is applied by the pump 18. The patient may manually vary the pressure applied by the pump 18 within the limit established at the pressure preset control 30 using a manual pressure control 34. A quick pressure release 36 enables the patient to immediately relieve the pressure applied to his ear whenever desired.
In addition to varying the pump pressure within the preset limit by means of the manual pressure control 34, the patient may vary the time duration during which air pressure is applied to his ear within the time limit established by the timer 28 by operating the manual pressure control 34 for a duration less than the time limit of the timer 28. Of course, the timer 28 will ultimately depressurize the system after reaching the preset time limit whether the pump 18 is controlled by the patient through the manual pressure control 34 or automatically through the automatic pressurization/ depressurization switch 26.
An alternative embodiment for supporting the ear probe assembly 10 using a headset 38, in lieu of the earhook 14, is illustrated in FIG. 2.
An enlarged view of the probe assembly 10 is illustrated in FIG. 3. The elastically deformable probe tip 12 receives a hollow stiff insert 40 which supports it. The insert 40 is in turn supported by a connector 42 which connects the insert 40 with the hose 16 and maintains an air-tight seal therebetween. Preferably, the elastic probe tip 12 is removable so that the probe tip may be properly fit for each patient, who may then select the most comfortable or effective probe tip.
The apparatus of the invention is used in association with one ear at a time, if it is necessary to treat both ears. In most cases it is necessary to treat only one ear, but in those cases where both ears are to be treated, the treatment may be performed sequentially.
In summary, the invention fills a great need and offers new advantages, as described above. While the invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiment thereof, it is understood that various modifications and changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

Has anyone started looking at infant carseats? The one we used with Christopher and Cooper expired this month so we got to get another one.
Car Seat
I still have an infant car seat I bought while pg with my son. It doesn't expire till 2018 or so, but I tried it in the car the a while back and its going to be pretty cramped in there with all 3. I have one Radian and have given some thought to getting another one, but they are expensive and the current seats fit. I am keeping an eye out in case the Radian goes on sale though.
Our old infant seat expired last month as well. I ordered a new Chicco one on Zulily a few weeks ago.
Our old peg perego is still in date, so we will be using that. Once the baby is out of the bucket my ODS will move to a booster and the new baby will get ODS' Britax Boulevard. The Peg Perego will expire though in 2015, so this baby will be the last child to use it.
I remember having a hard time trying to pick one out last year when I was pregnant. I will leave that up to DH, he is good with researching those things, so at this point I have no idea.
We're getting a car seat from my sister. She bought her's new when she was pregnant with my nephew. It doesn't expire until 2019 or something, she said. It's the kind that comes with a stroller. I'm very excited...I've never had one of those before.
I bought T and Sprog matching Radians back in March when they were on sale.
A friend of mine who is a car seat expert told me about this one. DH doesnt' want to spend over 100 dollars on the infant seat since we will only use it for 9 or so months before he outgrows it.

Title: Franklin Township (Hunterdon) history comes to life in new book.
Author: Walter O'Brien
Publisher: MyCentral Jersey.com
Date: 3/21/10
Local history is living on in a new book for the "Images of America" series.
"Images of America: Franklin Township, Hunterdon County" features more than 200 vintage photographs and nostalgic stories collected by Dan and Marty Campanelli and Lora Willis Jones. Proceeds from the book's sales will benefit the nonprofit Rural Awareness, Inc. to fund community projects.
Dan Campanelli is a recognized watercolor artist of historic buildings. His wife, Marty, is a graphic designer.
"We discovered that Pittstown was the base for Moore Furman, who built his grist mill here and owned most of the town," Dan Campanelli said. "It's just a mile from our home -- we just gallop through history living here."
Marty said they became friends with Jones when they moved to town five years ago.
"When the book on Readington came out, we thought we could do one for Franklin and talked to Lora," Marty said.
Jones is the township historian and a board member of the Hunterdon County Historical Society and Hunterdon County Cultural and Heritage Commission.
At first the trio was concerned about finding enough photos to fill the book, but soon found themselves with pictures spread across a kitchen table, fighting over which to use.
Jones said the authors wanted to convey the history by telling the stories behind the photographs with a sense of humor, but with purpose.
"We wrote this book for two reasons," said Jones. "For people to appreciate the fact that we are still rural and agricultural and that we still have that heritage -- and to respect the people who all those years cared for the land and kept it for us."

Authors of the book are Dan and Marty Campanelli, the well-known watercolorist and his wife, and Lora Jones, historian of Franklin Township, for Rural Awareness, Inc. The book is one of a series by Arcadia Publishing, the leading publisher of local and regional history in the United States. Rural Awareness is a non-profit civic group in Franklin dedicated to preserving the history and rural character of the township.
The book features over 200 never-before-seen photographs dating from 1860 to 2009 from the private collections of current and former township families, and mentions 214 family names in the captions. One picture shows, but does not identify, 450 people attending the 1938 annual banquet of the Hunterdon County Poultry Association at Franklin's school. More photographs were contributed by the Franklin Archives, Hunterdon County Historical Society, Hunterdon Democrat, Boy Scout Troop 108, and Quakertown Friends Meeting. The book also contains new information regarding historic sites, events and dates, correcting data published in earlier history books.
Books may be purchased at the book signing party or by calling 908-735-4271. Other book signings will be held at the Franklin PTA Book Fair at the Quakertown Firehouse, Thursday, March 11, 7-9 p.m., and at the Route 12 Library on Saturday, April 17, at 2 p.m. All proceeds from the sale of Franklin Township, Hunterdon County will benefit Rural Awareness to fund community projects.
