text: Evening all Incongruous as it seems, given that we are now in the full swing of spring and summer, with linen shorts and all the rest of it — but we took a trip last week to West Yorkshire, to the so-called Heavy Woollen District, to pay a visit to one of the mills which is weaving for us a heavy chunk of the materials we're using for autumn and winter. It seems an aeon ago since we last ventured up that way: a change in circumstances in the past couple of years precluding such expeditions. Good to be back there. As well as the woollens for which the place is best known — much of it for military uniform — we also stumbled upon something unexpected, about which I hope to shed some more light (if it all pans out) in a week or three.

If you go
What: City of Steamboat Springs' demonstration of the new yield-to-bus law
When: 1 p.m. Monday
Where: Stock Bridge Transit Center, 1505 Lincoln Ave.
Call: Public Works Director Philo Shelton at 871-8204 or Transit Operations Manager Jonathan Flint at 879-3717 for more information
Steamboat Springs The city of Steamboat Springs will provide a demonstration Monday of a new state law that will aid city buses trying to re-enter traffic from a bus stop and also change the way traffic flows through Steamboat Springs, particularly downtown.
House Bill 1027 requires drivers to yield to transit buses re-entering traffic from a bus stop when the bus signals its intention and illuminates a yellow "yield" sign on the back of the bus. The law is scheduled to go into effect Tuesday. Current law requires only vehicles entering a roadway, not those already in the roadway, to yield to buses.
Public Works Director Philo Shelton said the Colorado State Patrol will be on hand Monday to help explain how the law works. Steamboat Springs Police Capt. Joel Rae said there has been "mirror slapping" and other accidents in the city between vehicles and city buses re-entering traffic, particularly on Lincoln Avenue in Old Town.
Rae said he has yet to receive a fine schedule for violations, but he assumes it will carry a fine of $15 to $100 and count for two points against a person's license.
"It's not effective to have a bus sitting there at 5 p.m. unable to get back in traffic," Rae said.
Rep. Joe Rice and Sen. Dan Gibbs sponsored the bill on behalf of the Colorado Association of Transit Agencies. The bill was suggested by Shelton, a CASTA board member.
Shelton said traffic studies conducted on Lincoln Avenue last year revealed that a yield-to-bus law could help relieve congestion in downtown Steamboat. Similar laws have been adopted in other states and Europe.
During periods of heavy traffic, Shelton said buses on Lincoln Avenue have difficulty re-entering traffic after pulling over to drop off and pick up passengers at stops. To maintain frequency, the city has added a bus to its main line in recent years, Shelton said.
"When you have your bus route, maintaining the schedule is very important," Shelton said.
Transit Operations Manager Jonathan Flint said the amount of time it takes buses to reenter traffic has been the one factor Steamboat Springs Transit has been unable to account for when determining its routes and schedule.
House Bill 1027 passed unanimously in the Colorado House of Representatives. It passed, 23-12, in the Senate. Gubernatorial hopeful Sen. Josh Penry, R-Grand Junction, voted against the bill. He did not return a phone message Friday.
At a cost of $2,000 each, the city has installed and wired illuminated yield signs on 13 city buses and four regional buses. The city is "working diligently to get signs on all" buses, according to a city news release.

When Celebrities Network! Part 4 – Alan Fletcher
Well, as we enter day 2 of our special "What celebrities think about social networking" sessions, we have three more sets of answers to share with you, and the good news is that we're still getting more responses. First up today is actor and singer Alan Fletcher, aka 'Neighbours' Dr Karl Kennedy…
Best know for playing Dr Karl Kennedy in the popular Australian soap 'Neighbours', Alan Fletcher is also a budding rock star, with his band 'Waiting Room'. If you've seen his website you'll also know he's a budding entrepreneur, and the sort of person that Social Media can really work for as a marketing tool. He has been on Facebook for a while, quickly out-growing the 5,000 friend limit and starting up his own Facebook Page to combat the problem.
You're on Facebook – do you use any other social media and to what extent?
Myspace is the only other main site I use. I have a forum attached to my official site and I visit the various Neighbours fan websites from time to time.
What has your experience of Social Networks been like so far?
When I first joined Facebook I had a lot of people requesting to join my friends list. Facebook limits the number of people you can add in this way and it wasn't possible to message everyone on there. Thankfully Facebook introduced a new "page" for artists which differs slightly from a normal profile and this allows everyone to join up. Myspace, and more recently, Facebook is a good way to advertise gigs and direct people to my official site for more news so the experience so far has been a positive one.
As a public figure, how do you feel about / deal with fans (or critics in some cases) contacting you online?
Its perfect as it gives immediate interaction. I still get a lot of post through snail mail and it can take months to get to me. With email and web based interaction I am in contact with fans in real time.
What would you class as the main reason you use social networks – personal interaction, publicising your work, research, feedback etc?
I can send news bulletins out about visits to the UK, news about the band and encourage fans to visit my official site. It is also a good way to interact with fans.
Do you use any of Facebook / MySpace's added features or is your profile fairly basic?
My main profile on Facebook is fairly basic. As previously mentioned, I've just launched an artist page on Facebook which allows me to add photos and events and I'll be developing that further. Myspace is predominantly used to upload music and to send bulletins out on.
Thanks to Alan for taking time out to answer our questions, what a legend! Join us again later today for the next Celebrity…

Either way you're looking at 6x4.5 unless you go with the Bronica GS-1. Personally, I have had a Mamiya m645 for ten years and I find it very easy to use. It takes great photos and a light meter is a light meter, whether TLR or hand held. It's the photographer that has to make the exposure decisions. For my pursuits, I have now switched to the Mamiya RB67 Pro SD. I looked at the Bronica but one glaring fact stuck out. They're no longer made by Tamron and the longevity of parts (repairs) may be limited. Therefore, I purchased the Mamiya. Mamiya lenses are extremely good, don't know about Bronicas, but, assume they are nearly equal. The main reason I went to the 67 was for a larger neg. 6x4.5 is close to the 35mm format, albeit, larger and therefore better for 11x14 > prints. The 67 is better yet.
My old Mamiya m645 is a workhorse. Great lenses and focusing is not a problem. If available, though, I would suggest a Beattie Intenscreen. For dimly lit interior shots it is much easier and, for my 57 year old eyes, better for ANY shots.
Good Luck...... TCrowe

text: New Year, New Message! Help Your Clients Maintain, Don't Gain More Weight By Karen AspAmericans need only look in the mirror to realize they've got a serious weight issue. And the latest statistics don't indicate that image is going to change anytime soon.Consider, for instance, results from Gallup's annual health and healthcare survey, which were released in November. While 51 percent of Americans want to lose weight, only a mere 25 percent are doing anything serious about it. Even more telling, not only did the eating habits of Americans get worse in 2013, the percentage of people doing regular physical activity also decreased from 2012 to 2013, according to other Gallup information.What's clear from the above data is that when it comes to conquering their growing weight woes, Americans aren't getting the eat-less-exercise-more message. So what's the solution? Enter the results from a recently published study that might offer a more appealing message: Don't gain—just maintain. The Skinny Behind This New MessageTo find out whether maintaining weight might be a worthy intervention strategy, researchers recruited 194 premenopausal black women aged 25 to 44 with a body mass index (BMI) ranging from 25 to 34.9. (A BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is considered normal, 25 to 29.9 is overweight, 30 to 34.9 is class 1 or low-risk obesity, 35 to 39.9 is class 2 or moderate-risk obesity, and 40 is class 3 or high-risk obesity.) 5 Easy Ways to Trim Calories From the Diet Want to offer your clients specific ways to cut calories from their diet? Here are five simple strategies from Rania Batayneh, M.P.H., nutritionist in Portland, Ore., and author of The One One One Diet (Rodale, 2013). 1. Switch from a bagel to a bagel thin. Most bagels are little more than refined carbs with roughly 300 calories or more. In fact, most have as many carbohydrates as four slices of bread, sending blood sugar soaring. Bagel thins, however, generally have only about 100 calories, which leaves room for protein-balancing toppings like peanut butter or scrambled eggs. No bagel thins at your bakery? Cut a bagel in thirds and discard the middle third.2. Pop your own popcorn for the movie theater. Not only is movie theatre popcorn covered in butter flavoring, which includes trans fat, artificial ingredients and preservatives, it's served in massive tubs. A large-sized popcorn at AMC theaters, for example, contains 1,030 calories (and 59 grams of saturated fat). Yet pop your own, and if you choose a healthier-sized bag, you'll down only about 250 calories. To save even more, air-pop your popcorn; each cup contains just 31 calories and counts as a whole grain.3. Sub cauliflower for half the starch in recipes like mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. Cut the caloric impact of your favorite comfort foods by using mashed cauliflower to displace unhealthy or high-calorie ingredients (like refined pasta and potatoes). Per cup, pasta has about 210 calories, potatoes 136 and cauliflower only 26. "Because cauliflower has a relatively mild flavor," says Batayneh, "it'll blend with the creamy mashed potatoes and cheesy pasta."4. Sauté veggies in broth or wine versus oil or butter. Even though olive and canola oils are heart-healthy, they're still calorically dense, with each tablespoon containing 120 calories, which the veggies soak up. Save calories by sautéing in broth or wine. Need more flavor? "Drizzle a tiny amount of olive oil over veggies after they're done cooking," Batayneh says.5. Order two appetizers versus an appetizer and entrée. Restaurant dishes are supersized; in fact, some are four times the recommended serving size. To save more than 500 calories, order two appetizers, subbing in one for the entrée. "Appetizers are smaller by nature," explains Batayneh, "but they often contain lean protein without being weighed down by hefty sides like mashed potatoes." The women were divided into two groups. Half were placed in an intervention program designed to create a daily energy deficit of fewer than 200 calories. Researchers told these women that this wasn't a weight-loss trial, but rather an approach to improve their overall well-being and maintain their current body shape. The women received tailored behavior-change goals, interactive telephone calls for weekly self-monitoring, monthly counseling calls from a registered dietitian, tailored training materials and a 12-month health-club membership. Meanwhile, the other half simply received regular care from their physicians. They also received newsletters about general wellness topics, none of which discussed weight, nutrition or physical activity, every six months. After 12 months, 62 percent of the women in the intervention program were at or below their starting weight compared to only 45 percent in the second group. Better yet, the intervention group maintained these weight changes even after 18 months, while the other group's weight continued to climb. The explanation about why maintaining worked so well is simple. "It's easier to prevent weight gain than to lose weight," says Gary Bennett, Ph.D., lead study author and director of the Duke Obesity Prevention Program at Duke University in Durham, N.C. "No matter how much you want to lose weight, you have to be motivated to do all the things to lose weight, including tracking your diet and being physically active, and if you're not willing to do those things, you won't lose weight." Maintaining weight, however, takes less effort, which is a message that could potentially appeal to a large percentage of people who lack motivation to slim down. "If this can work in the toughest-to-treat population, then there's no reason this approach wouldn't work for other people," Bennett says, adding that black women not only have some of the highest rates of obesity in the United States, they also have some of the lowest motivation to lose weight. Don't think, though, that weight loss is a moot point. Bennett, in fact, isn't even suggesting that maintaining weight is better than losing weight. "If you're obese, especially if you're on the high end, then weight loss is a better strategy," he says. After all, when BMI climbs over 35, you incur numerous health issues, including diabetes, sleep apnea and high blood pressure. "People with a BMI of over 35 need to focus on losing weight to help alleviate some of these conditions," says Michael Nusbaum, M.D., medical director of The Obesity Treatment Centers of New Jersey in Livingston, N.J., and CEO and founder of Giffen Solutions, Inc., creator of smartphone apps and web portals.Yet for people whose BMI is under 35, especially if they've struggled frequently with weight loss, maintain-don't-gain may be a viable option. What kind of effects this will have on their health, though, isn't entirely clear. "We don't know how this will impact health, especially since it depends on where people are starting from," Bennett says. "In our group of women whose BMI was less than 35, the evidence suggests that maintaining could help stabilize cardiometabolic problems like blood pressure." While it's unlikely these issues will improve, maintaining could at least prevent them from becoming worse.The Difference Between Maintaining and Losing WeightSo are the "rules" for preventing weight gain different than those for losing weight gain? In some ways, yes. Burn 100 Calories Through Physical Activity Your clients don't need a gym to burn a few extra calories. Instead, they can simply incorporate more activity into their everyday routines. Here are 10 easy ways to burn 100 calories*: Mow the lawn as you walk behind a power mower: 16 minutes Play hopscotch with your kids: 17 minutes Weed your garden: 19 minutes Practice hatha yoga: 22 minutes Do general housework: 25 minutes Bathe animals at your local shelter: 25 minutes Go on a bowling date with friends: 29 minutes Walk your dog: 29 minutes Go birdwatching: 34 minutes Play the piano: 34 minutes * All calculations are based on a 155-pound individual using Nutristrategy.com. Of course, whether the goal is to lose weight or simply maintain weight, diet and exercise are still the mainstays of any program. Yet the biggest difference concerns how small of a calorie deficit people have to achieve each day to maintain. Although many weight-loss programs recommend a deficit of 500 calories a day, which can be challenging, women in the above study achieved an energy deficit of less than 200 calories a day. They could do this by increasing their physical activity or tweaking their diet or a combination of both. Note, though, that increasing physical activity didn't have to involve going to the gym. Instead, the biggest gains came from making commonsense tweaks to everyday habits. "We've all heard that you should take stairs over elevators or park farther from stores," Bennett says. "While these activities won't burn enough calories to lose weight, they could help people keep the weight off."Changes in the diet were also small. For instance, some of the strategies involved reducing consumption of sugary beverages like soda; switching to lower-calorie condiments; avoiding fast-food restaurants; and replacing high-calorie snacks with fruits and veggies.In the end, although maintaining weight may not be as advantageous as losing weight, it could be a beneficial option for certain individuals. After all, what America doesn't need is to see double when they look in the mirror again.

PA National's 10-11 All-Stars had managed an 11-game winning streak in the post-season, including the first game of the Northern California Division II tournament, beating McKinleyville 7-4 on Thursday night. The team's second game in the tournament took place on Friday night in Albany, when PAN faced off against the Section I champion, Novato North, setting up a classic pitcher's duel.
The first inning resulted in no score, as PAN's pitcher Nick Wells generated two strike-outs and a ground-out. Novato's big southpaw, Stephen DeMartini, got a strikeout and induced a double play following Owen Lewis' single to right. In the top of the 2nd, Novato managed to load the based with one out, then two consecutive singles each scored a run. After Wells earned another strikeout, Novato was ahead 2-0.
DeMartini rang up three more strikeouts in the bottom of the second, then Wells struck out two Novato batters in the top of the third. The score stayed 2-0 until the bottom of the 5th when PA National brought 6 batters to the plate. Alec Wong singled down the third base line, followed by a walk to Matt Schwab. Kirby Gee doubled to right to score Wong, making the score 2-1.
Novato's pitcher answered in the top of the 6th, belting a fastball deep over the fence in left center. PA National was not able to generate another come-from-behind victory.
Wells pitched a complete game for Palo Alto, striking out 7 and giving up only 5 hits and 1 walk. Novato's DeMartini also pitched a complete game, striking out 9, also giving up 5 hits and 2 walks.
Palo Alto plays the Section 5 champion, Moreland, in an elimination game on Saturday at 11AM. Moreland lost 5-4 to Fresno's River Park, Palo Alto's main challenger the last two years in post-season play. Getting to the championship game means winning four in a row over the next four days.

Fantasy baseball offseason news from A to Z
Fantasy baseball 2014 draft prep: Player rankings, position primers, burning questions and more
Since last October, news has swirled constantly, players have switched teams and pitchers have been knocked out for the season with injury; all information that greatly affects fantasy baseball. So, I present it to you in alphabetical order, to prove I know my ABCs.
PRINTABLE DRAFT SHEETS: Top 300 | Rankings by position
A -- An Angel ascends to No. 1
Mike Trout is your new undisputed No. 1 overall draft pick in most fantasy leagues now. Last year, there was a lot of debate between Miguel Cabrera, Ryan Braun and Trout going first, but after the sophomore posted another amazing year -- he's at the top of all wish lists. (With that in mind, Cabrera was the most expensive player in last week's Tout Wars experts auction, but they use on-base percentage rather than batting average. Cabrera had a .447 OBP in 2013, while Trout had a .431 OBP.)
B -- Bigger in Texas
The Rangers had a surplus of middle infielders, so they traded away 2B Ian Kinsler to Detroit for slugger Prince Fielder in the biggest offseason trade in the league. Fielder will hit third in a stacked lineup, and the close fences in Globe Life Park in Arlington should make him a big hit (pun intended) right away. Ball park factors show that Globe Life Park (1.517) was second to just Citizens Bank Park (1.338) in home runs in that park as opposed to other stadiums in 2013.
C -- Cuban defectors
After seeing what Yoenis Cespedes could do a couple years ago, the market for good Cuban hitting got a bump in value this past offseason. The biggest prize was first baseman Jose Dariel Abreu, who signed with the White Sox, as they try to retool their offense. Abreu will hit third in what was one of the weakest offenses in the majors last season. He has plenty of power potential, but it might take him some time to get there.
D -- Detroit fixes its back end
Only six other major-league teams had a worse bullpen ERA than the Tigers last season, as guys like Bruce Rondon, Joaquin Benoit, Drew Smyly, Jose Veras and Jose Valverde got saves. Joe Nathan moves to Motown, joining the fourth major league team of his career. Only four other closers have more than Nathan's 80 combined saves over the past two seasons.
E -- Eaton healthy in Chicago
The White Sox brought in power, with the signing of Abreu, but they also traded away closer Addison Reed for leadoff hitter Adam Eaton. The speedy center fielder is healthy this spring, after missing the start of last season with a sprained UCL in his left elbow. The White Sox will be better than last season offensively -- the question is -- how much better?
F -- First games have already been played
The Dodgers and Diamondbacks started the season already, with a two-game set in Australia. If you haven't drafted your head-to-head team yet, check to see if those stats count in Week 1 matchups. It might not change your draft strategy, but it will be good to know going in.
PINCUS: Fantasy impact of the opening series in Australia
G -- Going from Red Sox to Pinstripes
Jacoby Ellsbury follows Johnny Damon's lead, leaving center field in Fenway Park for the Bronx, where he'll lead a rebuilt Yankees offense. Ellsbury remains a stolen base threat, but he has a bad trend going, with bad seasons following up his big years. Players coming off big contract years often take a step back in their new digs. (See Josh Hamilton, Albert Pujols and B.J. Upton.)
H -- Hit in the face by a liner
Hopefully, we won't see an injury as ugly as the one we saw against Reds closer Aroldis Chapman last week, when a line drive came back and hit him in the face. He had surgery to place a metal plate on the fractured bone above his eye, and might not be back until mid-May or so. Despite his injury, fantasy experts in the Tout Wars auction took him as the 19th-most expensive closers ($11). J.J. Hoover seems to be the most popular option as Chapman's replacement.
I -- Injured players (almost) ready to return
While Carlos Gonzalez (emergency appendectomy) and Grady Sizemore (knee) are expected to be ready by Opening Day, Matt Kemp (ankle) and Manny Machado (knee) should start the season on the 15-day disabled list. Sizemore has been out of baseball for a couple years, but he essentially owns the starting spot in center field for Boston now.
J -- Japanese import
The Yankees (anyone surprised?) ponied up $155 million for right-hander Masahiro Tanaka, who hopes to follow the successes of Yu Darvish, Hisashi Iwakuma and Hiroki Kuroda. He's in a tough division, though, with four of the top-scoring offenses in the majors.
K -- Kansas City fixes the top of the order
The Royals made some strides last season, but it was very apparent that they needed talent atop the order so that Eric Hosmer, Billy Butler and Alex Gordon could knock them in. Gordon led off a lot games last season, but he'll move back to fifth in the lineup, as Norichika Aoki comes from Milwaukee to hit first. Omar Infante leaves Detroit to bat second with his former divisional opponents.
L -- Lots of moves at catcher
Indians catcher Carlos Santana will start at third base this season, as he adds to his position eligibility (you'll still use him at catcher). Brian McCann leaves Atlanta for the first time to play in the AL with the Yankees, as Jarrod Saltalamacchia will hit in the NL for the first time with the Marlins. The Red Sox will rely on A.J. Pierzynski behind the plate, and division rival Tampa Bay brought in Ryan Hanigan from Cincinnati to start behind the plate. The Giants considered moving Buster Posey over to first base full time, but he'll still probably get a lot of action over there. John Jaso becomes the regular designated hitter in Oakland, which means many more at-bats, and Kurt Suzuki takes over the catcher spot in Minnesota. Why? Because...
M -- Mauer on first
The Twins moved catcher Joe Mauer from behind the plate over to first base, so he should be able to eclipse his career-high of 545 at-bats. Michael Beller and I debated over whether you should draft Mauer or Santana.
N -- No Mo' Mo
Mariano Rivera, after coming back in 2013 from 2012 knee surgery, retired as the greatest closer in MLB history. I'd venture to say that 80 percent of the people playing fantasy baseball these days have never played in a season that didn't have Rivera pitching in pinstripes, since he started in 1995. David Robertson will take over as closer for the Yankees, and we will never see another player wear No. 42 on the back of his jersey again.
O -- Oakland in trouble
Before Spring Training started, Jarrod Parker was Oakland's ace, and A.J. Griffin was a big part of the team's future. But now, Parker is done after undergoing Tommy John surgery, and Griffin is out for most of April, also with an elbow injury. The A's will turn to super sophomore Sonny Gray for the opener, and Scott Kazmir will be asked to do what he did last year with Cleveland. Dan Straily is healthy, too, but Jesse Chavez and Tommy Milone as rotation fillers is not a good thing.
GONOS: These standouts from last year's rookie class should be first off the board
P -- Price remains in Tampa Bay
After many rumors floating around (like David Price going to Seattle for Taijuan Walker), the Rays and their franchise lefty are together again for the start of 2014. Price will be a free agent in 2016, which means the Rays will want to get as much as they can for their ace, unless they're in the mix come trade deadline.
Q -- Quiet return of strikeout pitchers
Yu Darvish, Max Scherzer, Jose Fernandez and Stephen Strasburg lead a group of strikeout pitchers that we haven't seen in a while. Darvish led the league last season with 277 strikeouts, which is the closest anyone has come to 300 strikeouts since Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling did it in 2002. Darvish is expected to return from a neck/back injury by the end of April -- so it's doubtful he'll reach 300 Ks this year.
R -- Returning suspended players
Several players are ready to reset their careers this season after serving suspensions for their involvement in the Biogenesis scandal for PEDs last season, including Ryan Braun, Everth Cabrera, Nelson Cruz and Jhonny Peralta. Fantasy writers are not worried about a dip in talent for Braun -- he went for $38 in Tout Wars as the third-most expensive outfielder, after Trout and Andrew McCutchen.
S -- Say it isn't so, Sano!
One of the top power hitters in the minors, 3B Miguel Sano underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow on March 12 and will be out for the season. He was rated as Baseball America's sixth-best prospect entering 2014. The Twins still have No. 1 prospect Byron Buxton, but he'll likely play most of the season at Double-A New Britain, once he returns from a sprained wrist.
T -- Tommy John surgeries
Speaking of Tommy John surgeries, the list continues to grow, after Parker and Sano, other players expected to miss the season after undergoing the procedure include Kris Medlen, Bruce Rondon, Brandon Beachy, Patrick Corbin and Luke Hochevar.
U -- Up-in-the-air bullpens
Astros, White Sox Rangers, and Rockies have the most unstable situations in their closer spots, although, the Rangers named Joakim Soria their closer this past weekend. Even so, he's still a couple years removed from Tommy John surgery. The Astros are starting with a committee, likely led by veteran Chad Qualls. The Rockies will lean on LaTroy Hawkins, with Rex Brothers at the ready. And the White Sox have an open competition between Nate Jones, Matt Lindstrom and Daniel Webb.
V -- Very big new contracts
A few players are entering 2014 with brand spanking new deals that they made with their previous team. Aces Homer Bailey and Clayton Kershaw signed for a combined $320 million this offseason. (Kershaw already started earning his, with a strong outing in his first win Down Under.)
W -- Wheel of revolving closers
Much like the catchers that were swapping jerseys this past offseason, there were plenty of closers that played musical chairs as well. Grant Balfour goes from Oakland to Tampa Bay (after the Orioles didn't like what they saw with his physical). Balfour will replace Fernando Rodney in St. Pete, but had Balfour gone to Baltimore, he would have replaced the man replacing him in the ninth in Oakland: Jim Johnson. Instead, Tommy Hunter will close games for the Orioles, but he's already considered the closer that will likely get replaced the earliest this season. Rodney ended up in Seattle, and he'll close for them in 2014. Trevor Rosenthal is installed as the Cardinals' closer, and Addison Reed was trade to the Diamondbacks.
X -- X-tra power in Arizona
(Sometimes, we have to force things.) The Angels traded Mark Trumbo to the Diamondbacks for pitching prospect Tyler Skaggs, and he hit his first home run for Arizona against the Dodgers on Saturday in Australia. There were just four major league teams that hit fewer home runs than the Diamondbacks' 130 last season. Expect that to change.
Y -- Yankees rebirth
From 2013 to 2014, the Yankees changed more than 50-percent of their lineup, with five new hitters joining the Bronx Bombers. Led by Ellsbury, the Yankees also brought in McCann, OF Carlos Beltran, 3B Kelly Johnson and 2B Brian Roberts. For the rotation, they brought in Tanaka, who we've already mentioned, and former Mariners righty Michael Pineda won the fifth spot in the rotation after finally returning from various shoulder issues.
Z -- Zero to 90 feet in 3.3 seconds!
With Shin-Choo Soo going to Texas in free agency, the Reds installed speedy rookie SS Billy Hamilton as their new leadoff hitter. His speed is blinding, which means he'll beat out a ton of infield hits, before stealing second and third. He supposedly got to first base in 3.3 seconds recently, which is unworldly. He has a very good lineup behind him, so you can bet he'll be in scoring position when Joey Votto steps to the plate. Expect a lot of comments from announcers wondering what's faster: Hamilton to first base or a Chapman 100-mph fastball? (Interesting note: Another Billy Hamilton stole over 100 bases in four separate seasons -- between 1889 and 1894. That has to mean something.)

As the apparel industry is aware, the length of the supply chain (from natural fiber, polymer resin or other material, all the way to finished clothing) is quite long. Because of the numerous processing steps involved in garment production, often conducted by different suppliers, the major environmental impacts of production usually occur before the Tier 1 (cut and sew) suppliers of brands and retailers.
Those in the industry working on environmental sustainability, such as the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC), the Outdoor Industry Association (OIA) and The Sustainability Consortium (TSC) have concluded that additional focus needs to be placed on lower-tier suppliers to best improve the environmental performance of the textiles and apparel industry.
One important tool employed by members of these organizations is the assessment of supplier environmental performance through indices. Requesting environmental information from suppliers initiates the engagement process, raises awareness of important issues and signals that customers are concerned about the environmental impact of suppliers. The use of indices allows facilities to identify the areas for greatest improvement, and the scoring system provides a benchmark of sustainability performance to track progress.
Much of the initial supplier improvement work centers on individual facilities completing self-assessments such as the Facility Module of the Higg Index. The Higg Index is a larger sustainability assessment tool organized by the SAC. In addition to supplier facilities, it also evaluates brands and apparel products (footwear to come in Version 2). Currently, the results from the Facility Module assessments are used internally by suppliers and with direct customers, but are not yet intended for external communication.
The Facility Module was closely based on the criteria of the Global Social Compliance Program (GSCP), a program previously developed by leading retailers to improve environmental and social responsibility within their shared global supply chains. It was designed to assess and drive improvement in suppliers to many different industries, and the scope of the program covered 11 different environmental areas of focus.
The Facility Module tailored the questions and criteria of the GSCP to be more specific to the apparel industry, and it focuses on seven environmental areas, which are a subset of the eleven included in GSCP. The Facility Module environmental areas address: environmental management systems, energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, water use, wastewater, emissions to air, waste management, and pollution prevention/hazardous substances.
Some of the general questions textile suppliers will need to answer as part of the Facility Module include:
Do you measure your usage (or emissions) associated with each of the environmental areas?
Do you regularly set and review improvement targets in these areas?
Can you substantiate improvements in these areas?
By going through this process, suppliers and their customers can get a snapshot of where they stand on environmental performance. However, because these questions are being answered by the suppliers themselves, the SAC and others are looking into having the results verified in some way. Verification serves not only to encourage honest responses and identify false ones, but to ensure the accuracy of information and clarify instances where improper scores are simply a result of a misunderstanding by the supplier about the criteria.
As an organization that has conducted audits based on the GSCP program for textile and other facilities, SGS can confirm that major opportunities for improvement indeed exist within most facilities. When suppliers take the next step and initiate plans of improvement in areas where gaps were identified in the self assessment, then both environmental improvement and operational cost savings can be significant.
Indeed, to achieve the highest scores in the Facility Module suppliers need to go beyond minimum regulatory compliance, and actually plan for and work on reducing their impact. This calls for more specific steps and may require a detailed onsite assessment of what improvements should be made and how.
There are a number of approaches textile facilities can take to work on these issues. One way is to work internally, using index results to guide their efforts. The SAC has at least one supplier member that has communicated openly about its internal efforts and success, reporting hundreds of thousands of dollars of annual savings in electricity and water consumption.
Alternatively, companies may choose to seek external support, such as an energy, water and waste audit to identify specific problems, for example water/steam leaks, sub-optimal equipment settings, or improper storage of waste. A third option is one Nike has taken, and that is to work closely with an organization such as bluesign that specializes in textile chemistry and production processes. This approach focuses more on the selection/sourcing of the best chemicals, materials and processes. These efforts in combination with efficiency improvements also greatly reduce environmental impact and cost.
Regardless of the approach, it is in the economic interest of the suppliers, as well as the brands and retailers, to implement these improvements, as cost savings may be shared. Sharing of savings can be incentivized by programs where the brand or retailer provide some or all of the funds for the auditing and/or training that will guide the suppliers in being more cost effective.
Additionally, the environmental benefits from these efforts will reach even further, being felt directly in the countries where these facilities operate, and indirectly by the consumers around the world who are demanding clothing produced in a more sustainable fashion.

Date of Stay: July, 2016
Nice friendly staff. Location is quite a bit north of Durango but is along the river and has very little traffic noise. My only criticism is that if you get a standard site they are REALLY close together. The next time I stay I will get either a premium or river view site.
Date of Stay: August, 2008
This is a park that is convenient to the interstate but not many attractions except grocery stores and RV dealers. The staff was friendly and helpful. The sites were quite narrow but no problems parking. However, it is greatly overpriced for what you get.
Date of Stay: August, 2008
This is a very nice park, with easy access to I-40 yet far enough away to not have traffic noise. The sites were level, shaded and the grounds were quite clean. We have stayed here our last two trips through Oklahoma and would stay here again, except the roads are so bad in Oklahoma that we will try to avoid the state. The only downside is that there is no cable TV
Date of Stay: July, 2008
We did not camp "behind the gate", in fact it was not mentioned as an option. This is a beautiful setting with lots of room to hike and explore. The site we were in was quite narrow but luckily we only had one neighbor. It is QUITE a distance from the highway and way up the hill but gives you a break from the heat.
Date of Stay: July, 2008
This park is truly spotless and the pool and spa were quite nice. The only negative is that if you are parked near the highway (Monterrey) then you get quite a bit of traffic and train noise. They also had more grass and larger spaces than many parks. We would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: July, 2008
What a pleasant little park! The people were quite friendly and there is access to National Forest land right next to the park. Some sites had nice views with shade whereas others lacked shade. We would stay here again.
Date of Stay: July, 2008
We had stayed at this park several times over the years and do not plan on staying there again. We reserved a specific location, backing on to the only green space, and when we arrived they told us that the space was not available. They have built tiny houses throughout the park and the construction noise is unbearable, on top of that everyone drives ATVs or golf carts and the resultant noise level is not what I look for in a RV park. All in all they seem to be focused on selling there tiny houses with little consideration given for those in an RV. It continues to be one of the tightest parking areas I have ever visited.
Date of Stay: January, 2008
We stayed for a single night on the way from south Texas, and found it a very comfortable and convenient place to stay. We were met as we drove in, and taken to a nice pull thru site, and were set up in no time at all. The price is still $15 and we will defnintely stay here when traveling through this part of Texas.
Date of Stay: December, 2007
This is one of the nicest RV parks we have ever stayed in. We had an electrical issue upon arrival, and by the time I returned from the office they were out working to fix the problem. A great location with great staff. Plenty of grassy areas and a short walk to the beach. We will defnitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: July, 2007
We stayed here for about two weeks and enjoyed the location. The pool and spa were quite nice and very clean. The only criticism I have is that parking is QUITE tight. All of the new sites are back-ins, and with the narrow streets creates quite a challenge! We have a SWB tow vehicle and definitely had to move the slider, and even then it took quite awhile to get parked. The newer area is also essentially devoid of trees however you do have easy walking access to the adjacent national forest.
Date of Stay: July, 2007
This is an older park but has a great location, if you get one of the pull-thru sites that front the river. We had excellent service from the staff and although the parking was a bit confusing we had little trouble parking our large 5th wheel. Not all of the 50 amp sites had sewer connections so be sure and check before arriving.

- - Valve Lash Adjustment Charts (http://www.460ford.com/forum/39-engine-tech-archive/97066-valve-lash-adjustment-charts.html)
Valve Lash Adjustment Charts
Excerpt from Bret Powell's post on setting valve lash with big camshafts:
Adjust the intake when the exhaust starts to open.
Adjust the exhaust when the intake is almost closed...not when it starts to close.
is there a method for hydralic lifters?? the motor is on a stand and new lifter. i heard there is a way to do it.
This is the sequence for hydraulic and solid camshafts.
thanks sir
Thanks Danny!
Now I won't have to bother people with the same queston.
Arrow Direction
On the top Valve Lash Adj. Chart by D.Davis I see an arrow that points clockwise,when you look at the rotor spin in the dist it spins C. Clockwise is this correct? :roll: Thanks Tore
Re: Arrow Direction
The engine runs clockwise (facing front of engine).
The distributor turns counter-clockwise (as viewed from top).
Re: Valve Lash Adjustment Charts
Wouldn't changes in the duration and intake centerline affect which valves are at the bottom of the lobe?
Re: Valve Lash Adjustment Charts
OK so I flailed around about 4 times trying to get the valves adjusted right and finally called Comp Cams Tech Support.
So here's the story.
The charts above work for a factory stock cam. Once you install a performance cam you can disregard that information.
This is because the performance cam will have a different duration and different intake centerline that affects which valves are open at a certain point.
So the only way to adjust valve lash on a performance flat tappet hydraulic cam with adjustable lifters is as follows:
Remember EOIC (Exhaust Open - Intake Close)
For each cylinder, roll the crank until the exhaust valve just starts to open (move down) then adjust the intake valve to 0 lash and turn another 1/2 turn.
Then roll the crank until the Intake just starts to close (full open and just starting back up) and adjust the exhaust valve to 0 lash and turn another 1/2 turn.
Repeat for each cylinder.
Hope that helps. It worked for me.
When adjusting valves, you are on the base circle of each camshaft lobe. The lift, duration and separation angle are on the opposite end of the lobe...so why the heck would it matter (unless it's a radical cam with enormous lift and duration)? If your valves are open on the base circle of your camshaft, you've got a serious problem!
You're the first person that I've heard have a problem with the chart. Then you say it doesn't work with performance camshafts? I've got news for you...I wouldn't have posted this if it only worked with stock camshafts. Furthermore, I could care less what the Comp Cams 'tech guy' thinks he knows. I often link this page as a reference for others and now it's infiltrated with this useless dialogue!
Hi Danny
I did not mean to create a big argument here about valve adjustments or to upset you in any way. I was only trying to pass on the experience I had to help others that may have the same problem.
In my particular case the Comp Cams method solved a bogging problem that I was having above 5,000 RPM. When I set the valves using the Car Domain method, my engine pulled hard to 5,000 RPM then fell on its knees.
It only makes sense (to me at least) that the cam grind and how the cam is degreed on installation will affect when the valves are on the base circle of the cam as compared to the 0 reference point on the balancer.
If the cam is installed 4 degrees advanced or retarded, would not the base of the cam be 4 degrees off when the balancer is on 0?
Refering to the Car Domain chart, when you set the balancer on 0 and adjust No 1 intake, No 1 exhaust, No 7 Intake, etc, on a cam that is installed 4 degrees advanced you are not on the lowest point of the cam.
It also follows that different cam grinds affect the overlap of the intake and exhaust valves, so again the low point of the cam lobes can be different relating to 0 on the damper.
For all of those reasons I found that the EOIC method guaranteed having the cam lobe at the correct position to adjust the valve. After using that method, my engine pulled hard all the way to 6500 RPM when I shifted.
1 Attachment(s)
Here's the cam profile chart for a 304 degree Isky solid cam. You can see that the valves are both closed for around 240 degrees. If you allow a bit for the clearance takeup ramp you'll still have around 200 degrees to work with. This won't change much with any camshaft. The valves can't be open on the power or compression strokes. That's why that chart has to work. Anybody who claims it won't better go back to elementary motor mechanics!!
I used this method for years on my 1970 Torino with a 429SCJ. I even put marks on the balancer so it was quicker to hit the marks. Just an interesting note my cam was advanced I think 8 degrees as per the Ford Muscle parts instructions and it always worked for me with over 30,000 street and racing miles on it. Wish I had that car back!!

If there were one startling and apt image of today's Olympics it wouldn't be the five rings, let alone the uninspired logo for 2012. It would be the clean, sprung lines of the carbon-fibre blades used by amputees to run in the Paralympics and, now, in the conventional Olympics – a device entirely human in use and totally functional in form.
The Wellcome Foundation has one, a "Flex-foot Cheetah", made by Össur, in the middle of its new exhibition Superhuman: Exploring Human Enhancement from 600BCE to 2050. It should have put it at the centre.
Timed to coincide with the Olympics, the exhibition might well have concentrated simply on man's efforts to increase his athletic performance. Instead, it has taken its cue from the Paralympics to explore more generally the search to replace the deficient and increase the prowess of our mortal being.
It's a fascinating theme not just for its mechanics but its ethics. At the beginning, the efforts of medicine and craft were bent on replacing lost parts. The earliest object displayed is an artificial toe that was buried with an Egyptian mummy and turned out, on examination, to be not symbolic but a false digit actually used and demonstrably workable. Artificial legs, false eyes, spectacles and porcelain dentures soon follow as the search for the functional expanded to the improvement of appearance. Breast enhancement takes its place, woollen knit as well as silicone implant, along with the "Waterloo teeth" taken from the dead (we hope) on the battlefield.
Sex, too, rears its frolicsome head with a charming little 19th-century Indian gouache of "a Woman using a dildo in the form of a root vegetable suspended from the branch of a tree" and an 18th-century "Ivory dildo in the form of an erect penis, complete with contrivance for simulating ejaculation" of a size that would have done credit to a Siberian mammoth, never mind a mere human.
Rather touchingly we are told that a silver false nose made for a syphilitic woman was later returned when she married and found her husband preferred her without it.
Contemporary artists take all of this with a certain wryness. There's an entrancing video by Regina Jose Galindo, Recorte por la Linea (Cut Through the Line), filmed in Venezuela, which apparently has the highest rate of aesthetic procedures per capita in the world. In it, the artist has her body marked up by a surgeon detailing just where and how each curve can be improved. The German artist Rebecca Horn goes in the other direction with a series of contraptions to enhance the reach of head and hand.
The men are no less subject to the idea of the perfect physique, of course, with the Atlas courses in body building, taken on a few steps by the female bodybuilder and video artist, Francesca Steele. Superhero comics make the muscular magnificent as well as menacing. Matthew Barney, the American filmmaker, directed a whole series of Cremaster stories around the figure of the double amputee model and Paralympian, Aimee Mullins, taking various half-animal, half-machine roles.
It's not all vanity and competitiveness. Lest we take prosthetics too light-heartedly, the curators also include a moving section on thalidomide children, when the company and the state attempted to make up for the appalling malformation of thalidomide births by providing expensive and cumbersome false limbs to make the children more normal, only to find that, less interested in appearance than mobility, they preferred electric wheelchairs or using their feet to feed themselves.
Any human intervention raises questions of what is permissible and what is not. The exhibition begins, as it ought, with the figure of Icarus, the youth who was given wax-worked wings and soared too close to the sun and crashed to earth. Man must strive but also accept his limitations. The Olympic Games, as the show records, started without any ban on enhancement drugs and saw several disastrous collapses of the overstrained runners. The Tour de France, a test of endurance as much as skill, was rife with drugs, with a string of deaths resulting (one fatal collapse is captured on camera and exhibited in the show).
There are those who argue that technology and drugs are actually egalitarian. Available to all they will iron out disparities in physique and give everyone a chance, just as there are those that argue "blades" give the amputee unfair advantages over those with conventional limbs.
Wellcome wrestles with these questions as it presents a contemporary world in which technology, biology and medicine are all melding into each other. The "i-limb" displayed has independently driven fingers operated by electrical impulses controlled by muscle contractions. So effective is it that some have chosen to have their hand amputated rather than labouring with a half-way house. Implanted chips can remotely control machines. Revital Cohen has erected a machine, "The Immortal", in which life-support machines connect to each other in a display of how human organs can be replicated mechanically. And, if you want to think harder on the questions posed by this futuristic world, there are a series of talking heads discussing transhumanism and enhancement.
"The conversation with society has changed profoundly in this last decade," Mullins says. "It is no longer a conversation about augmentation, it's a conversation about potential. A prosthetic limb does not represent the need to replace loss anymore. It can stand as a symbol that the wearer has the power to create whatever it is that they want to create in that space, so that people society once considered disabled can now become the architects of their own identity."
Maybe. But then there's a nagging question, which the exhibition fails to ask, about who will control and disburse these costly products of man's endless drive towards self-enhancement. A conference of the US National Science Foundation written up on the last wall concludes with a prediction for 2025 that "robot and software agents will operate on principles compatible with human goals, awareness and personality". It would fly in the face of history if they did.

Do you pray as often and as boldly as you want to? There is a way to experience a deeper, more passionate, persistent, and intimate prayer life.
Drawing from 40 days of true stories, Mark Batterson applies the principles of his New York Times best-selling book The Circle Maker to teach us a new way to pray. As thousands of listeners quickly became many tens of thousands, true stories of miraculous and inspiring answers to prayer began to pour in, and as those stories were shared, others were bolstered in their faith to pray with even more boldness.
In Draw the Circle, through 40 true, faith-building stories of God's answers to prayer, daily scriptures, and prayer prompts, Batterson inspires you to pray and keep praying like never before. Begin a lifetime of watching God work. Believe in the God who can do all things. Experience the power of bold prayer and even bolder faith in Draw the Circle.

Twin Cities Jewish Film Festival
Opening October 2014
The Sabes JCC and the St. Paul JCC are thrilled to announce the kick-off the Twin Cities Jewish Film Festival, formerly the Minneapolis Jewish Film Festival, scheduled to open in October, 2014.
A partnership of the Sabes JCC and the St. Paul JCC, this festival promises to bring the broader community together as a showcase for feature films, documentaries and shorts from around the world on themes of Jewish culture and identity. This year's event also includes community events paired with each film to create an enhanced experience, inspire dialog and provide meaningful moments of community engagement.
"We are so proud of the Festival's rich past," said Joshua Wert, CEO of the Sabes JCC. "Having just celebrated our 20th Anniversary season, we knew that it was time to build on this success and move the festival beyond the Minneapolis community."
Executive Director of the St. Paul JCC, Michael Waldman added, "We are thrilled to be a part of the future of the festival. Our two JCC's share a common purpose and vision. While we maintain a commitment to the local communities that we serve, together we are able to reach a broader spectrum on the community for innovative and excellent programming. By working together, everyone wins."
The 2014 Twin Cities Film Festival will be chaired by Walter Elias and Tom Cytron-Hysom. Walter has been the chair of the Minneapolis Jewish Film Festival since its inception and brings great knowledge, experience, and a love for film to the role. Tom is a member of the St. Paul JCC's Executive Committee and has chaired the St. Paul Book Fair (now the Twin Cities Book Fair). The festival staff will be led by Co-Directors Todd Bruse (Sabes) and Katherine Tane (St. Paul).

Sacramento Office:
Oakland Office:

San Jose Office:
William Ellis, MD, FACS, is a Santa Rosa cataract surgeon and widely known ophthalmologist. Over the span of his 33-year career, Dr. Ellis has also published numerous papers and several textbooks, presented his research at prestigious medical conferences and studied with some of the field's foremost experts. Dr. Ellis is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and is certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology and the American Board of Eye Surgery as a sub-specialist in several categories, including cataract surgery. He has six practice locations throughout Northern California.
During cataract surgery, Dr. Ellis breaks up the cataractous lens through a tiny incision. He uses either pulses of fluid or ultrasound energy in a technique called phacoemulsification. After the pieces have been removed, he places an artificial lens, or an intraocular lens implant (IOL). Dr. Ellis offers several types of IOLs and works with his patients to select the best IOL for their needs. He may recommend Crystalens, AcrySof ReSTOR and ReZoom IOLs.
Cataract surgery is a quick procedure and is not painful. Patients usually return home within several hours to recover. Full recovery takes a few days. Dr. Ellis handles post-operative care instead of referring his patients to another physician for follow-up appointments.
Patients seeking LASIK also trust Dr. Ellis and his team; he has performed more than 50,000 laser eye surgery procedures and uses the most advanced lasers for precise and effective correction of refractive errors.
To schedule a one-on-one appointment with Dr. Ellis and learn more about your vision correction options, please contact Ellis Eye & Laser Medical Center at (866) 624-8767.Email the Surgeon
"My vision is great. I mean, my left eye is 20/20. My right eye is 20/30. It is wonderful to see the freeway signs.
It didn't hurt at all. It was quick. It was easy.
The thing I like the best is you get up in the middle of the night, or you wake up first thing in the morning and you look at the clock and you can see it. You don't have to get up and put on the glasses before you can even see the clock." Sharon
"I researched many doctors. I went to many seminars and I interviewed many doctors and when I discovered Dr. Ellis, I discovered many things about him. Dr. Ellis has been at the forefront of this technology. He has done more surgeries that any of the other doctors I had interviewed and I figured that if I'm going to have this done and if it is something so important as my eyesight, I'm going to go with the best I can find.
It was beyond my expectations and I'm seeing better than I did when I was wearing my glasses. I'm able to see things I couldn't see before." Fred
"I was impressed with Dr. Ellis because of the way that he was involved with pioneering a lot of these processes for this type of eye corrective surgery, and co-writing a text book. He is known worldwide." Cheryl
"I did not miss a single day of work. After I had my second eye done I went to work the next day and I was able to clean teeth and see what I needed to see to work." Loree
William Ellis, MD, FACS, graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, with his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, and Washington University in St. Louis with his medical degree. He completed his ophthalmology residency at the Stanford University Medical Center, and then studied with noted Russian professor Svyatoslav Fyodorov, known as the pioneer of modern radial keratotomy. Some of his other noteworthy credentials include chairing a panel on the surgical correction of astigmatism at the 26th International Congress of Ophthalmology and being appointed to the editorial board of the Russian journal Ophthalmology Surgery.

(because oil corporations want to suck up what we have left and sell it to foreigners)
One of the bigger lies coming from the Republicans is that all we need to do to become oil independent is to open up domestic sources of oil.
When you leave fantasy land and examine the real world, you learn that increased oil production simply means increased exports overseas at the expense of our national oil endowment. Corporations will gladly make Americans suffer to earn a few extra pennies on a barrel of crude.
Another completely failed policy brought to you by the Republican party.
The U.S. trade gap narrowed by $2.3 billion in September, to $41.5 billion, the Commerce Department said Thursday. Oil accounted for more than three quarters of the change, with a $2.2 billion surge in oil exports easily offsetting a small increase in imports.

Furnace short cycling
I have a Janitrol/Goodman GMP075-3 furnace. It operates correctly accept only runs for about 2 minutes, then the gas turns off, the inducer and blower continue to run. Then about a minute later the start sequence repeats and the runs again for about 2 minutes. (a short cycle) It repeats like this until the thermostat is satisfied. When I bypassed the limit switch it ran without the short cycling. I thought the limit switch was bad and replaced it. But it didn't change. Then, I cleaned the evaporator and let the furnace run with the accesss panel to the evaporator open so the air flow would not be restricted, but it still short cycles. I think what is happening is the limit switch is heating up (takes 2 minutes) and turning off the gas, then cooling down ( 1 minute) and resetting. I've read this furnace has had heat exchanger problems. I am mechanically inclined and know industrial controls and can make the repairs with a little guidance. I would appreciate any expert opinions regarding the probably causes and what is the next logical step. Thanks!
Another common step is to clean flame sensor by one of the burners with steel wool or sandpaper. Check it's firmly in place.
Check air filter. Is it clean. If your using a 3M, use a different brand. Make sure all registers and returns are open and not blocked.
Hopefully, we can help each other figure this out.
I took the advice of several of you and got a carbon monoxide monitor. And thankfully it did not sense any CO. It appears the furnace was running hot, and the limit switch was doing its job. By decreasing the gas supply it now runs within its nominal range and doesn't short cycle. Thank you all for your suggestions.
So what pressure did you turn the manifold down to.
I don't Know, I don't have a way to measure it.
Or just be shortening the furnaces life span.
Why do you say that reducing the gas pressure will pose and danger and shorten the life of the equipment?
Burns to cool, and causes condensation inside the heat exchanger, and will rust it out from the inside out.
How do you properly check the manifold pressure?
With a manometer.
Easy to make your own with clear vinyl tubing and water. Make sure you read the bottom of the meniscus on each leg.

Startup Raises $1.2 Million to Tackle Niche Ebook Market
The Spark of Genius Series highlights a unique feature of startups and is made possible by Microsoft BizSpark. If you would like to have your startup considered for inclusion, please see the details here.
Name: Hyperink
Quick Pitch: An ebook publisher that develops titles based on existing demand.
Genius Idea: Bloggers, content farms and news publishers alike have long leveraged search trends to uncover the information people are looking for and profited accordingly. But can the same model be applied to book publishing?
McKinsey alum Kevin Gao, whose startup Hyperink announced its first significant ($1.2 million) round of funding this week, believes so. (And so do his investors, apparently.)
Book publishers, he says, too often choose what to publish based on what they like rather than what they know will sell. Hyperink will instead find out what people want to read, largely by sifting through short and long-range search data. The company will then find authors to write short, highly targeted books on the topics people are searching for information about.
Think How to Get Into Yale rather than How to Get Into College, or a short history on Apple founder and former CEO Steve Jobs around the time of his death.
Hyperink is also welcoming pitches from aspiring authors, promising design, editing and marketing services in exchange for 50% of the royalties. Gao says the company is also interested in partnering experts who are less inclined to write their own books with journalists to co-author books.
Books are generally priced in the $15 to $25 range — a bit on expensive side for ebooks, but on the low end for business books.
Gao added that all of Hyperink's books to date have been profitable within the first year of publication.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Puts Nome's Port Expansion on 12-Month Hold
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers cites changing economics of oil and gas development, specifically Shell Oil ceasing its Arctic oil search, for the year-long pause.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers cites changing economics of oil and gas development, specifically Shell Oil ceasing its Arctic oil search, for the year-long pause.
Upon being sworn in as Nome's new Mayor, Richard Beneville explained his priorities, which include port expansion and tourism.
Nome's City Council has certified this week's election, confirming all early winners.
Nome's City Council heard of a $1 million budget surplus alongside claims the city was facilitating an alleged "fraudulent election" this coming Tuesday.
The October 1st episode of Exchange featured a live debate between the two candidates running for Nome mayor on the October 6 ballot: Denise Michels and Richard Beneville.
The Nome Joint Utility Board dove into discussions of upcoming city projects and alternative energy sources at their most recent monthly meeting.
Nome voters will cast ballots for mayor, city council, school board, and the utility board; voters in Nome, Elim, Savoonga, St. Michael, and Teller will also vote for their NSEDC board member.
The constitutionality of Nome's draft marijuana laws gave way to calls for visitors—and investors—for the city's hopes at a deep-draft Arctic port.
Heroin use has been steadily increasing in the United States since 2007, and Western Alaska has been no exception.
The City Council and the Nome Joint Utility grappled with the details of a $2.2 million line of credit at a special session Friday, Nov. 14.
