Tucked outside the Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket, across the street from a coffee truck and standing at the entrance to the park, Spa Piggies sells their merchandise. The modest table displays all-natural and homemade beauty products, including lip balm, bath salts, foot scrubs, and lotions, and despite the cold, business is good. I snag the last foot scrub (a pale pink color and cherry blossom-scented) along with an orange and mint lip balm, and continue into the market to pick up some fruits and vegetables.
There would be nothing remarkable about this transaction if it weren't for the fact that the young ladies who run the stand, the savvy business owners behind Spa Piggies, are eleven and twelve years old.
Meet Gaia and Emily: the motivated Park Slope duo who took a shared hobby and turned it into a profitable business. It all began when Gaia decided to make a basket filled with flower petals and handmade bath products as a gift for her stepmother. Inspired by the idea, Emily did the same for her grandmother. Since they had so much fun doing it, they decided to keep it up.
This was back in September of 2011. Since then they've worked on expanding their products and perfecting their methods. They currently sell bath salts, foot scrubs, lotions, soaps, lip balms, salves, and bath bombs. All of their products are made at home with all-natural ingredients that are well-researched.
"Sometimes we go to the store and we see a new product, and then we think that would be cool to make, so we look up how to make it," Emily says.
Gaia continues, "Some of the ingredients I didn't even know existed. If you go to flea markets you'll see something like a beeswax company and they'll have a lip balm and I'll look up the ingredients and write them down, and try to find them later. We do a lot of online research."
One of the things they're most excited about is their incorporation of aromatherapy. They refer me to an informational print-out lining up the different essential oils they use (eucalyptus, lavender, jasmine, rose, and more) with their varied benefits (easing anxiety, muscle aches, dry skin, and sinus congestion). They are also quick to note that their lotions are anti-aging.
"We put green tea in them," Emily explains. "Green tea is anti-aging."
All of their recipes are thoroughly considered.
"Bath salts can kind of dry sometimes," Gaia tells me. "So we decided to make them more moisturizing. The foot scrubs, too. They have oils in them. The salve is like a lotion butter. Those are really hard to make."
They've come a long way from their first sales, which were held in front of their homes. After deciding the spot wasn't "very professional," they started to seek out new venues. In addition to the Grand Army Plaza spot, they've sold at Green in BKLYN. They've got their eyes on the market with some ideas about where to go.
"We tried to get our stuff into a store, and it sort of worked out," Emily says. "We're going to try to expand more into stores as we get older."
"We're also thinking– because people don't really take baths that much–we were thinking about maybe selling [bath salts] to a nail salon," Gaia says. "They pretty much use the same thing, but ours have the different colors and aromatherapy. If the bath salts aren't selling that well on their own, I just think that's a good area to go."
"Foot scrubs as well," Emily adds, "if you're having a pedicure."
The girls are yet to approach local salons.
They find that business is best in the summer, but it hasn't always been easy. They share a story of a failed attempt to reach out to a local flea market.
"They never got back to us," Emily says. "So we decided to just take a bunch of samples with us. And then it was closed! They never took down the website."
"It was closed for two years!" Gaia says. "It was just an empty parking lot."
They have generally aimed for one sale a month, though they admit that circumstances sometimes get in the way. When they aren't busy being entrepreneurs, the girls are on top of their studies (both cite math and English as their favorite subjects) and extracurriculars (Emily likes to swim; Gaia sings mezzo-soprano in the school chorus). Most business owners aren't also navigating the sixth grade.
When I ask them about the name of the company, their excitement is visible.
"Our favorite animal is a pig," Emily says, "and we were thinking about it for a few days– what could the name be and how could it include pigs?"
"Originally it was between 'Precious Piggies' and 'Spa Piggies,'" Gaia continues.
"Then we just started writing down Spa Piggies and that kind of stuck."
"But as we got more into it, the business, we realized the coincidences, and how 'Spa Piggies' is a little more telling of what the business is."
It turns out the pig is a perfect mascot for a line of bath products.
"Everyone thinks of pigs as being really messy, but they're really not," Emily explains.
"They have slop and stuff but the reason they have mud baths is that it's like sunscreen," says Gaia. "It cools them down. They're smart. They sort of make their own spas."
It makes total sense: a couple of smart girls creating their own spas from scratch.
Keep up with Spa Piggies through their website, where they'll post upcoming sales. They're hoping to set up a stand within the next few weeks. And if you're a local business owner considering supporting the company, make sure to stop by! The girls generally have some product samples with them.

Pere Ubu guitarist Jim Jones R.I.P.
UPDATE: Cleveland Plain Dealer:
Since the early 1970s, Jones was a staple of the Cleveland music scene. He played guitar and wrote songs and sang in legendary bands such as Pere Ubu, Easter Monkeys and the Mirrors.
"There were six degrees of separation between Jim Jones and Cleveland music," says longtime friend Char Rao. "He might not have known everyone, but everyone was somehow connected to him."
That connection began in the late '60s, when Jones worked as a clerk in the now-closed Record Rendezvous on Prospect Avenue, says Michael Weldon, longtime friend and author of the B-movie bible, "Psychotronic Video.
"Jim didn't just buy and sell records," Weldon said. "He played exciting singles and albums for you in the store and explained new groups and sounds."
The devotion to cool music new and old—Jones also loved Indian, experimental and classical music—broadened the sensibilities of Cleveland's 1970s generation of musicians, Weldon said.
When Cleveland's rock scene achieved national prominence, Jones found himself in the middle of it.
Pere Ubu guitarist Jim Jones died late Monday night. Details have not been released, but he'd been ill for years. Health problems lead him to leave the Cleveland post-punk band in 1996, and his condition had deteriorated, though friends say he'd looked good over the last year.
"Jimmy was the one guy who always got along with everybody," says John Thompson, the former Discodrome record-shop owner, who was also part of Ubu's tour support. "Everybody in the music scene knew him and loved him."
James E. Jones, b. 1950 in Cleveland, Ohio. Graduated from Mayfield High School in 1968. He played baritone sax in the MHS Marching Band, alto sax in the concert band, and discovered an affinity for tape manipulation while in charge of the high school language lab. Jim attempted two quarters at Cuyahoga Community College in '69, but his interest in music won out. He formed the short-lived band, Lazarus, and worked as a clerk/buyer for Leo Mintz's Record Rendezvous retail chain for the next fifteen years. Jim started his own record shop, Platter-Puss Records, in '84. He sold the business in '87 after joining Pere Ubu. Jim got his first guitar in 1965, and taught himself to play in a self-devised open tuning. He was/is profoundly moved by music in nearly all forms, especially Indian music (thanks to George Harrison), 20th century classical & experimental, 50's thru 60's pop and mood music, and of course "rock" in it's many forms. Jim joined local "underground" band, Mirrors, in '74 as bass player. Mirrors shared gigs with Rocket From The Tombs and The Electric Eels (whom he later recorded with), and later transformed into The Styrenes. In '77 Jim quit The Styrenes and took some time off from work to become a member of the Pere Ubu road crew, doing the infamous Co-Ed Jail Tours of the US & Europe in support of The Modern Dance lp. Back from the tours Jim and fellow roadie, Pat Ryan, started a two-man experimental rock band called Foreign Bodies, which released a single. The next few years saw Jim honing his skills as a studio producer for a number of local Cleveland artists and bands, recording his own music, and composing electronic pieces for local theatre and dance companies. In 1980 Jim formed the raucous Easter Monkeys, and concomitantly became a member of Scott Krauss And Tony Maimone's project, Home & Garden. Gigs were played and recordings were released by both bands. Having worked with David Thomas And The Pedestrians On The Variations On A Theme album in '84, Jim was asked to join David's latest project, The Wooden Birds, in 1986. A year later that group (with the addition of Scott Krauss) became the revived Pere Ubu. Jim has recorded with the band since that time, but no longer tours. He currently appears and records with local bands Speaker\Cranker, Noble Rot, and KNG NXN as mainly a keyboardist. Jim has overseen operations of the US arm of Ubutique in Cleveland since 1990.

'The Rebel' Reporters Booted From Alberta Government Events
Reporters from Ezra Levant's conservative news and opinion site are not actual reporters — at least, not according to the Alberta government.
According to a blog on The Rebel, Premier Rachel Notley is a "bully" because her NDP government is banning the site's reporters from provincial media events.
The Rebel's reporters Holly Nicholas and Sheila Gunn Reid were kicked out of a media lock-up about Alberta's royalty review announcements on Jan. 29 despite being initially admitted to the event an hour earlier.
Later that day, a government staffer asked them to leave a common area of the Hyatt Hotel, where they had scheduled interviews with industry stakeholders.

Reid, the site's Alberta bureau chief, tried to attend a press conference with Alberta premier Rachel Notley and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Feb. 3, but security told her The Rebel was on a "no-go list" and escorted her off the property.
The Rebel's blog, titled "Notley is a bully," says security asked Reid for "accreditation." However, Reid had confirmed with the legislature's press gallery president that "there is no such thing as accreditation to cover the government of the day, in the building that houses our democracy."
A lawyer for The Rebel sent a letter to the premier's office, asking for clarification.
The province responded on Friday with a short letter of its own.
Alberta unleashes lawyers to inform @TheRebelTV that its reporters aren't reporters. https://t.co/KB7PqIMz6s pic.twitter.com/PpT0ogrlmB
— Steve Ladurantaye (@sladurantaye) February 16, 2016
"Our client's position remains that your client and those who identify as being connected to your client are not journalists," the letter from an Alberta Justice lawyer read.
The Rebel decried the move as a suppression of free speech, and has started a petition to end the "illegal blacklist" and "telling Notley that her enemies list just isn't acceptable in Alberta."

The site also plans to sue the provincial government, and is crowdfunding to help cover its legal costs.
Its blog says:
"The Rebel isn't everyone's cup of tea. But all Albertans are entitled to freedom of the press. Notley is doing things we couldn't imagine even the Redford or Prentice Tories doing. Even they wouldn't throw out reporters for criticizing them. Notley promised us a more transparent and accountable government. But in reality, Notley and her NDP have given us a more closed, more censorious and more belligerent government than ever."

The Citizens were dumped out of Europe's premier club competition at the group stage for the second season running back in December after finishing bottom of Group D.
United maintained their seven-point lead at the top of the table with a 2-1 win over Liverpool on Sunday, while City kept pace with victory at Arsenal.
And Spain midfielder Silva is hoping next month's blockbuster clash with Real Madrid in the Champions League last 16 will prove to be a distraction for Sir Alex Ferguson's men in the title race.
"That could be an advantage for us, because they have an important game against Real, and we only have the league to think about," said Silva.
Silva has warned his team-mates, however, that they can ill afford to drop any more points.
The 27-year-old added: "The important thing is the next game. We talk about the game that we have coming up and we hope that they blow it, because it will let us be closer.
"If we lose, then suddenly the gap is 10 points, and that is when it gets really difficult. But if we keep fighting, we hope that they will falter.
"All we can do, whatever the gap is, is keep going, every game, and put them under the pressure of knowing that if they lose a game or drop any points, we will get closer to them.
"That works the other way, of course, too, because if we lose we will get further away, but we cannot think about that. We just have to continue as we are. The league is still there to be won."

Morning Silver Market Report 8/30
Statistics: London Gold Fix $1,657.00 -$7.25 LME Copper Stocks 230,175 tons -3,850 tons
SILVER MARKET FUNDAMENTALS: (6:00 AM CT) December silver was able to remain within a consolidation zone overnight, that was situated just above the $30.61 level on the charts. Surprisingly silver wasn't able to benefit from news that the Chinese were willing to support the Euro zone bond program. Silver also doesn't seem to be garnering much support from a modest rally in the Euro and gains in both platinum and copper prices overnight. Silver did see some buying interest in Asia overnight and that probably served to shore up support just under the current trade.
Silver will probably take some direction from a somewhat active US scheduled report slate today but it is unclear whether silver wants weak data to rally, or if the silver trade wants strong data to keep slowing fears out of the headlines. Many traders think that the silver bulls want to see soft data, but initial expectations for the US data calls for marginally better data this morning.
Comex Silver Stocks were 140.206 million ounces down 300,240 ounces. Silver stocks have declined in 12 of the last 20 days.
OUTSIDE MARKET DEVELOPMENTS: (6:00 AM CT) Chinese equity markets were weaker again overnight extending a pattern of recent declines. European stocks also started out weaker again this morning, as Euro zone Consumer Confidence fell to some of the lowest levels in 3 years. Surprisingly, the Euro saw only marginal lift in the wake of suggestions from Chinese officials that they would purchase Euro bonds.
At least initially, the US equity markets were marginally weaker, which might have been the result of suggestions from Moody's that the Euro area crisis continues to pose the greatest risk to the global economy. However, with the Fed's Jackson Hole symposium capable of generating some headlines later today, the markets attention might shift forward to the Bernanke speech on Friday.

The invisible gorilla
The Invisible Gorilla
Dr Trafton Drew is a postdoctoral researcher at Harvard medical school, with an interest in the psychology of attention. After spending some time with radiologists, and watching the speed at which they scan images every day, it made him wonder what they might be missing. Following on from earlier work about inattentional blindness involving gorillas and basketball players, he began an experiment paying homage to this infamous study. The results are about to be published in the journal Psychological Science.
Taiwan on a diet
As well as rapidly developing economically, Taiwan is also experiencing associated public health issues. Half of the men are overweight or obese, and so are a third of the women and a quarter of the children. The percentage of obese men is 19%, much higher than in other Asian countries, such as Singapore, Thailand or Malaysia. And the percentage of Taiwanese children who are overweight exceeds that of Australia, Germany, New Zealand and the UK. This has sparked the implementation of an ambitious, nationwide weight loss programme of huge proportions. The BBC's Cindy Sui reports from Taipei.
New genes for short-sightedness
Short sightedness, or myopia, is one of the most common disorders of the eye. It is caused by the eyeball growing too long which means light then focuses in front of the retina rather than onto it, resulting in distant objects appearing blurred.
Although we recognise that it tends to run in families, until recently, scientists have only known about two genes that contribute to this condition. But a Nature Genetics study published this week, by consultant ophthalmologist Professor Chris Hammond's group at King's College London, has unearthed another 24 genes important in the development of short sightedness.

To understand how a vibrating object transfers energy to whatever it touches.
- How is energy transferred?
- How do vibrations create and transfer energy?
Vibrating objects produce energy.This energy can be transferred to objects like paper and water.Vibrating objects also produce sound.When doing so energy is transferred to the air and then enters our ear so that we hear sound.
- Tuning fork
- Piece of paper
- Plastic container of water
- Overhead projector (if available)
- Carefully strike the tuning fork against the bottom heel of your shoe. (Note: Striking a tuning fork against something hard can damage the tuning fork.This is why you should strike it on the rubbery sole of your shoe.)Observe the tuning fork…what do you hear and what do you see?Record your observations.(See sample chart.)
- Carefully strike the tuning fork again on the bottom heel of your shoe.Quickly hold the vibrating tuning fork next to a piece of paper.What did you observe?Record your observations including an illustration.
- Fill a plastic container half full with water.Place the container on top of an overhead projector, if available, and turn it on.If one is not available, just watch the water closely.
- Strike the tuning fork against the bottom heel of your shoe.Quickly stick the tuning fork into the water.Watch the movement on the wall or in the water.You just watched energy being transferred!Record your observations including an illustration.

text: My burb has about 172k miles on it and I am planning on doing a longish road trip with my family this summer, about 2k miles. It rides great, starts instantly after turning over once. My big question is, does anyone know of any parts that tend to go out on these burbs when they get to this mileage? I know the transmissions aren't the strongest, but this burb has not seen much towing. I would hate to be stranded with an angry wife and 4 grouchy little kids. I have a 1996 suburban k1500. 5.3, 4l60e. As far as I know, there has not been any major work done on the engine or transmission. Extras include a throttle body spacer, cold air intake (air raid), corvette shift solenoid, a dvd system with an extra amp, dual cat back flowmaster exhaust. Thoughts?

Breeders' Cup Turf: Romans still torn between two races for Little Mike
ARCADIA, Calif.- Trainer Dale Romans has not ruled out a start in the $3 million Breeders' Cup Turf at Santa Anita on Nov. 3 for Little Mike, the winner of the Arlington Million in August.
Little Mike is pre-entered for the BC Mile and BC Turf, with the Mile as his first preference.
Romans said on Saturday that he wants to study the BC Turf, notably the pace scenario, before making a final decision.
"I think we're 60-40 for the Mile," he said. "It will be about who is going in each race and the speed scenario."
[BREEDERS' CUP WORKOUTS: Full DRF coverage, Mike Welsch video reports]
Owned by Priscilla Vaccarezza, Little Mike, 5, has won 11 of 20 starts and $1,454,412. The Arlington Million is his most prestigious victory, but the gelding also won the Grade 1 Woodford Reserve Turf Classic at Churchill Downs on the Kentucky Derby undercard on May 5. In his last start, Little Mike was fifth on yielding turf in the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic at Belmont Park on Sept. 29.
The turf course will be firm at Santa Anita next weekend, regardless of which race is chosen for Little Mike.
Saturday at Santa Anita, Bourbon Bay worked six furlongs in 1:13.40 on turf in company with stablemate Fire With Fire.
A 6-year-old, Bourbon Bay has won six turf stakes at Santa Anita in his career. He would be a longshot in the Grade 1 BC Turf, a race led by Point of Entry, a four-time stakes winner this year.
remember Court Vision. beating Goldikova last yr. I guess a horse is a horse of course of course.
Little Mike and Obviously will kill each other on the front end with Wise Dan pickin up the pieces??
Dale wake up and smell the coffee. U might hit the board in the mile. POE already whipped u in the mile an ahalf, so whats there to wonder about?
Hey connections of lil mike in case u guyz didn't get the memo, obviously will get in and obliviously will smoke wise dan and everyone else that enters the gate in the mile
He's got no shot in either race so who cares.
Dale.. don't be stubborn. Little Mike is not a Grade 1, 12 furlong horse. Put him in the mile where he belongs and let the chips fall where they may.

A group of retired Indian Foreign Services officers has moved the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), accusing the government of overlooking the original recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission by drawing a unilateral line between two categories of officers and giving one among them huge pensionary benefits.
The petitioners, who retired as under-secretaries and deputy secretaries from the ministry of external affairs (MEA), claimed that the government's discriminatory decision has benefited officers who retired as directors — just one grade above the applicants — with a 74% hike in pensionary benefits. In comparison, the petitioners got a hike of just 21%.
The retired officers, who call this a gross violation of the right to equality, want the tribunal to quash the bifurcation done by the ministry of finance's department of expenditure.
Though an under-secretary from the MEA has denied the allegations levelled by the petitioners, CAT has sought a response to the senior citizens' petition from the finance ministry.
The direction came after the petitioners refused to accept the MEA's response, stating that the ministry was never a party in the proceedings.
The petitioners took a strong objection to the under-secretary filing an affidavit in individual capacity.
According to the petition, the Sixth Pay Commission had — in 2008 — for the first time recommended pay bands for various categories of officers. The under-secretary and director-level officers were clubbed together with a pay-band of Rs. 15,600-Rs. 39,100.
However, when the government implemented the commission's recommendations, it delinked the senior and director-level officials from pay-band three to move them to a higher grade of pay-band four.
The pay scale for the higher category was Rs. 39,200-Rs. 67,000.
SN Dixit, one of the petitioners, said it was wrong to prioritise one category of officials over the other because no special qualification or age requirement was needed for getting appointed to these posts. The officials, he said, get promoted as per seniority and vacancy.

" Manufacturer: Sega / Genre: Childrens / Release Date: 1991 "
Originally released for the Sega Megadrive back in 1991, Quakshot is a Disney-licenced side-scrolling platformer starring Donald Duck in an Indiana Jones-style role. The plot sees Donald set out on a trip around the globe looking for an ancient lost archeological treasure, the various levels spanning a wide range of environments including Egypt, Mexico, India, Transylvania, the Soulth Pole and even a haunted Viking longship, with appropriately colourful adversaries to fight your way through at each location. There is even a section that sees you careening along a track at high speeds in a mine cart, in a nod to Indiana Jones And The Temple of Doom.
As with most disney games of this era (Castle of Illusion is another good example) the graphics and animation are highly professional, bright and coulourful and hugely appealing, whilst the cheery midi music is equally well done, the whole package feeling highly polished.
The gameplay itself is the standard jumping/shooting side-scrolling affair, although there is also a puzzle element included, whereby you need to travel between the game's different geographical settings in a particular order via biplane in order to progress through the game, adding depth and making it feel a little less linear than it is. Donald has at his disposal a plunger that stuns his enemies for a short while allowing him to pass safely, and can also be used as a makeshift way to climb up walls, whilst popcorn and bugglegum projetiles can be used to fend off enemies as well when collected.
Whilst nothing stunningly original, Quackshot is still a charming and inventive early 90s platformer with endearing visuals and simplistic but engaging gameplay, and still remains worhty of revisiting today.
Quackshot is one of the Megadrive's earliest, and greatest releases. I was lucky enough to be bought a Megadrive as a yound lad (although I had to share it with my brother) and every birthday or Christmas, we would be allowed to choose a game as our present.
My Megadrive came with Altered Beast (meh!) and Ghostbusters (wahey!). My birthday followed soon after Christmas and we travelled to the games shop to reward me for surviving another year of childhood. The first game that caught my eye was Quackshot. Donald Duck graced the front, decked out in his explorer garb and plunger gun in hand. I wanted that game!!!
Unfortunately, my father could not stretch to the £39.99 it cost, and I ended up going home with Forgotten Worlds (yippee!) which was five quid cheaper. I eventually managed to borrow Quackshot off of a friend a few months later and instantly loved it.
You are Donald Duck, out to find treasure and stop evil Pete! You will travel all over the world in your adventure and encounter a variety of friends and enemies along the way!
Quackshot is a real gem of the game. It is genuinely enjoyable and quite simply, just puts a smile on your face. The graphics were amazing for the time and still hold up today. Donald's waddle is simply hilarious and such touches really endear the game to players.
The locations are pretty standard, you fight Dracula in Transylvania, a Tiger in India, a Viking ghost on his ship, but the effort that has gone into these levels is sublime. The Northern Lights of the North Pole are simply glorious to watch as you race around the icey landscape.
The soundtrack is of an equally high standard. The Duckberg theme is still a favourite of mine, and I always hum along as I traverse the death slides of the Duckberg skyline.
Each level has its own themed enemies; Transylvania has bats, North Pole has penguins etc and you can dispose of these with a variety of weapons. Your primary weapon is a plunger which freezes opponents, but other weapons are available which will kill them outright.
The difficulty curve is spot on, although the Raj's maze still frustrates me to no end. The solution can easily be found online, but it does detract from the game's enjoyment slightly. The bosses have strict patterns to be learnt and countered, but they do present a decent challenge.
Playing through the whole game will probably take around one to two hours, depending on skill levels. Some of the jumps can be a bit strict (the Egyptian level almost made me tear my hair out at times!). Although it is a fairly linear route through the game, it is such a joy to play that you will definately feel the desire to play through it multiple times.

I also saw some people use cotton for the rag quilt. I like how I can add batting in the middle. Think of making a king size quilt hoping it will be easier then quilting a regular one.

Water heater solutions to get hot water in timely manner
The old owner of home moved the water heater out from garage to the back of the house, built a new enclosed storage area for it, and rerouted the piping for this.
This extends the incoming water supply to water heater and outgoing hot water pipe back to house approximately 42 feet each.
The hot water at faucets/outlets take quite some time to get from cold to warm then hot. 3-10+ minutes, depending on outside temperature and previous usage of hot water I guess.
Wonder what my best course of action(s) are at this point. Trying to go with best option without spending too much money.
I live in California, the heater is wrapped in blanket (though the home inspector says that's not necessary here). However, they didn't wrap the hot water pipes (located in exterior of home is how they're rerouted) in foam insulation, etc. That's 42 feet of exterior piping.
I did some searching online, and I see the following options:
* turn up water heater thermosat/heat setting for hotter water
* insulate the hot water pipes to keep them from loosing heat
* add circulation pump(s) to piping to get faster hot water and not waste running water to get the hot water
* Reroute water heater back into garage or closer location to have it behave how it normally should.
Frankly, I'd rather avoid rerouting and repiping until home's overall pipe condition calls for a complete repipe, and/or water heater needs replacement. The piping from garage is also mostly covered up for remodeling/conversion changes to a room (later converted back to garage). But will consider if that's really the best solution.
Just asking for feedback here. Will insulating 42 feet of piping help much? What about circulation pump, does that help? And where does that get installed? The piping is hidden in walls/attic (of concrete slab house) except for the piping connections in the bathrooms and kitchen, and exterior rerouted pipes. Would I need a pump for each faucet/shower connection or just a single pump for the whole house? Obviously I'd get a plumber to do the job rather than myself unless it's real easy.
And yea, should of thought about this when looking at the house, but as a newbie homeowner, sometimes you never know everything until things happen to you the hard way.
You are in California, get a OnDemand water heater, and get rid of the holding tank one you have now. Only way to keep what you have and get hot water quickly, is by installing a recirc system, or hybrid that uses the home a/c or heatpump to help heat the water.
If it was me, I would go with the first option, and go with Ondemand for heating potable water. You can go with small units for bath & kitchen sinks, and a larger unit for the shower/tub & clothes washer & dish washer.
gregzoll, thanks for advice. Some follow up questions:
What should one do with the existing heater though? It still works...sell it, give away, recycle for some rebate/credit?
Oh and by the way, the heater is gas one, do the ondemand ones come in gas and electric or electric only? Otherwise, I may have to up the home from 100A to perhaps 200A electricity, also don't have much outlets, would need new wiring.
Do the ondemand heaters require some replumbing/piping of the sink/tub water connections?
How much would it cost on average for a small unit and a large unit for the ondemand heaters? Have 2 baths but figure can skip on the sink and just install for shower, tub, kitchen sink, and perhaps laundry hot water connection.
What are good places to get the heaters from? Any recommendations on brand and model?
And for recirculation system install, what would you estimate that to cost? I see the part itself goes for ~$200.
Knowing California, you would probably get in trouble selling it on Craigslist, or giving to Habitat. If the unit is over five years old, I would send it on its way, your plumber could probably take care of it.
As for the Ondemand units, they come both in Electric & gas. The electric ones range from 120 for the smaller units, to 240 to the larger whole house types. Your plumber can help you with choice. Rinalli is a widely chosen one. There is a large discussion on these units over at the Terry Love webforums, on the Pro's and Con's, and have also been discussed on here off and on.
the issue you have is the run from the water heater to the faucets. an on demand heater will actually probably take a bit longer, since it heats up the water inside the tank on demand and even though this happens relatively quickly, it still takes longer than a normal water heater that has hot water already in the tank. it does not do anything about the long run of cold water sitting in your pipes between the heater and the faucets and will in no way decrease the time to get hot water.
you either need to move the water heater back into the garage and reroute again or install a recirc system. upgrading to an on demand is something of a choice for energy efficiency as well as taking up a lot less space and weight. but once again, the on demand itself will not do anything for getting hot water to the faucets faster. my parents have one and it takes plenty of time to get hot water out of the faucets.
Which is cheaper & easier, move & reroute back or install recirculation pump?
I'm guessing the pump as moving back means I have to tear up some wall & put back a vent for the heater.
199 Attachment(s)
You mentioned in your opening post that you didn't want to spend a lot of money. I suggest a recirc line and or moving the heater back.
There are a couple of ways to do recirc pumps. Install a pump at a remote sink that pushes hw into the cw line, This makes the loop to the heater complete. No new pipe needed.
Is the link you post the brand/model you recommend? As there are others out there as well.
I'd consider moving heater back, but that's like a partial remodel, removing pipes, and tearing up wall to access original pipes, and we have junk in the garage to clear out for that (just moved in a while back). How much do you estimate it would cost to move back to original location?
the recirc pump attached to the furthest faucet is what i would do in my house if i wanted something similar. it's pretty cheap and connects inline with only the need for a couple of hoses. you do need an outlet available, something to consider.
NitroNate, you mean an electrical outlet?
Interesting that I got a quote for a plumbing company for a much higher price:
"It would cost you about $2,000.00 to install a proper recirc system."
Inflating price, or there can be more to it than a simple recirc pump at farthest faucet?
Also, how to figure out farthest faucet? Water line comes in at front of house, and garage is to the side of it and back of house has kitchen, laundry, and master bath. Easiest hookup access to faucet connections would appear to be at laundry area.
Here's a youtube video showing a DIY system that can solve your problem.
The guy in the video is obviously not a plumber since he wraps teflon tape on compression fittings (not needed) and also wraps the teflon tape in the wrong direction. But the basics of the DIY aspect of this system is intact.
Thanks for the link homerepairguy.
I figure the estimate from the plumber meant including a dedicated return line for recirculation pump rather than circulating to the cold water line.
just hook up under a sink
on demand will need same thing but with a switched pump
Using the cold water line to recirculate, the disadvantages are:
1. Warm water will be pushed into the cold water line until the hot water line gets hot enough. While taking a shower, the warm water in the cold line will be sent back to the shower so the temperature will gradually get colder until all of the warm water in the cold line is used up. This will require adjusting the shower temp until that happens. This may or may not be annoying.
2. If just a little bit of warm water is used to quickly wash face or hands in the bathroom sink, then there can be some warm water left over in the cold line. Anyone wanting cold water to drink will have to wait for the cold water to push the warm water out of the line first.
3. In item-2, say no one wants a drink for a while. The warm water in the cold line cools off. Later when someone does take a drink, he/she will be drinking water from the water heater. Knowing how dirty water in water heaters can get (try draining and flushing a water heater), I personally don't want to drink water from the water heater. The water is still potable to drink but may not be as clean as in the cold water line. This water can also be feeding the ice maker and cold water dispenser on the refrigerator.
The advantage of using the cold line to recirculate is that it is cheaper than installing a dedicated return line. It can also be a DIY installation that does not require soldering skills.
One needs to decide which method will be suitable for their own use.
Thanks for the details homerepairguy, I've read through posts elsewhere and I know of those trade-offs.
One of the other reasons to decide between the two is also, not just the cost factor (or in addition to it), how hard is it to feed a return line back to the heater. May be harder w/o an adequate crawl space, basement, or attic. Then perhaps patch through walls and even route outside the home as external piping...
As for water heater being filthy to drink, funny I haven't read any discussion addressing this:
what if you don't drink directly off the tap (whether recirc system to water line in place or not), but rather have a (lets say "good" for sake of arguement) water filter that the tap passes through before you drink or cook with it. In that case, the dirty water heater water then shouldn't be that bad if it's filtered. Granted one can say cold water is still cleaner, but the filter should mitigate some of the filth (chemicals, dirt, bacteria, lead).
Don't people use filters these days? Or most still go straight from tap?
Also, modern fridges, or good ones, allow you to patch a filter to the icemaker/water dispenser as well.

Boozy Cupcakes
Tracy Byrne
I am no stranger to desserts with alcohol or even cupcakes with booze inside. This isn't even my first time making a bourbon pastry cream. Why do I need so many boozy cupcake recipes? Why not? Boozy cupcakes are delicious, everyone loves them, and they signal the start of a party!
These cupcakes were made for Ron's birthday. Last year Irene and I were jerks and we both forgot to bake for Ron's birthday. We bake for everyone's birthday but sadly he was left out. This year I made sure to remember, but I was still a week late, whoops. Better luck next year I guess!
For the past few years Ron has gotten a box of the chocolate bottles with liquor inside from one of his students. Many afternoons we would go have a little "pick-me-up" during our preps. Honestly, there is more sugar in those things than anything else. Good times up on the fourth floor!
I wanted to try to recreate that memory in cupcake form. These aren't the prettiest cupcakes but they sure do taste good! I made the pastry cream a little thicker than usual and divided it among four bowls with a different liquor added to each bowl and mixed in. You could use any liquor you want. I went through my liquor cupboard and thought about what sounded good with chocolate. I came up with marshmallow vodka, amaretto (Disaronno), Godiva liqueur, and bourbon. All excellent choices!
The chocolate cupcake is moist and tender. The pastry cream is delightfully creamy and has a strong boozy flavor. The frosting is nice and chocolatey. This cupcake may not be high on the cuteness factor, but it is high on the fun and delicious scale!
Boozy Cupcakes! Yield - 16 cupcakes
1 1/2 cups flour 2/3 cup cocoa 1 1/2 cups sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 eggs 1/2 cup vegetable oil 2 teaspoons vanilla 3/4 cup whole milk 2/3 cup hot water
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line the cupcake pan with liners, it's easiest to use four different liners, one for each flavor.
- Add the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, soda, powder, and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix together on low with the paddle attachment.
- Beat together the eggs, oil, vanilla, and milk in a small bowl and add to the dry ingredients.
- Mix until just combined and then scrape down the sides. Turn on the mixer and add the hot water slowly until well combined.
- Use a standard ice cream scoop to generously fill each liner
- Bake 15-18 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
Boozy Pastry Cream 1 1/2 cups whole milk 2 ounces sugar 1 ounce cornstarch 2 eggs 2 tablespoons each of Disaronno, marshmallow vodka, bourbon, Godiva liqueur, or liquors of your choice 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Heat the milk until it reaches scalding in a medium saucepan.
- Whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and eggs in a medium bowl.
- Add 1/2 cup of the hot milk to the sugar mixture and whisk continually. Add a little more hot milk while you keep whisking.
- Once the eggs are warmed add to the rest of the milk on the stove and heat until the mixture thickens to the consistency of pancake batter. Stir the entire time.
- Once thicken, add in the butter and stir to combine.
- Push the pastry cream through a fine sieve into another bowl.
- Divide the pastry cream into 4 different bowls. Add 2 tablespoons of liquor to each bowl and stir to combine.
- Cover each bowl with plastic wrap touching the cream. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
Chocolate Whipped Frosting
Yield - Generously frosts 36-40 cupcakes (refrigerate or freeze for later use, just let thaw and then re-whip to piping consistency) 1 1/2 cups whole milk 7 1/2 tablespoons flour 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips generous pinch of salt 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the milk and flour. Keep whisking until the mixture becomes smooth and thick resembling pancake batter.
- Remove from the heat and add in the chocolate chips. Give them a few minutes to melt and then mix until well combined.
- Stir in the vanilla and salt and allow to cool completely.
- Beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy - beat for 8 minutes
- Add in the cooled flour/milk/chocolate mixture and beat until the entire frosting is light and fluffy, about another 5-8 minutes. This is a softer frosting, don't be discouraged!
Assembly Melted candy melts of a contrasting color
- Cut a deep cone out of each cupcake. Cut off the pointy end of the cone so you just have a lid to put back on the cupcake after you fill it with pastry cream.
- Add a generous spoonful of pastry cream to each cupcake, make sure to coordinate fillings with liners.
- Place the lid on the cupcake.
- Pipe frosting over the top to cover up the lid.
- With melted candy melts or anything really, pipe a symbol so you know what flavor liquor is in each cupcake.
- Refrigerate to help the cupcake firm up and hold its shape.

Robin Hanson asks
The second point seems easier to settle, as it is just an application of standard econ theory. Any other economists care to weigh in?
referring to this point
I say prices usually fall when a very elastic supply curve rapidly gets cheaper. Russ would probably agree for something like computer memory, but is reluctant to agree for wages – he doesn't think cheap plentiful immigrants lower wages. I say that if trillions of immigrants willing to work for a dollar an hour were waiting just offshore, letting in as many as wanted in would lower wages to that level. So I say cheap [human intelligent] robots getting cheaper fast should rapidly lower wages for tasks they do. Russ objects "You can't just say your wage will be driven down, because if there are complementary types of labor they'll increase the wage rate of some people. … There's all these complicated secondary effects." I say all things considered, the likely effect is falling wages.
There are a few of ways of looking at this. Robin uses supply and demand. Another way to looking at it is noting that immigration doesn't change the total number of people in the world, it just changes the distribution.
In a world were all institutional systems were equally productive immigrants moving to America would simply mean that new factories are built in America instead of factories being built overseas. Unless their are strong market constraints then either the job will move to the immigrant or the immigrant will move to the job but ultimately the same capital will be combined with the same labor.
Because some institutional systems are more productive, total world productivity can go up by moving both the immigrants and the capital to the better institutional environment. That's the essence of why the world gets richer when people move to America.
However, in principle the same level of growth could result by porting the institutions to other countries. This is more or less the story of China and India.
When Russ notes that immigration makes everybody wealthier he implicitly noting the effect of improving the average institutional arrangement under which people live. Without that difference, immigration wouldn't matter at all.
The second way to look at it is to note that in general equilibrium all profits accrue to the irreproducible factors of production. If human intelligent robots mean that labor is reproducible then natural resources become the only irreproducible factor.
Without government intervention, the real price of land in the robot future will skyrocket as the earth becomes populated by trillions upon trillions of human intelligent robot workers and the return to labor will fall to the marginal cost of producing a new robot.
Robin suggests that the real return on capital would skyrocket. I am not sure this is the case. The reason is that the robots support savings in the same way that humans do. So the demand for capital is racing outward as labor expands but so is the supply.
What is clear is that the real price of natural resources will skyrocket. In theory this could happen because prices of most goods are falling at a tremendous rate while the price of land and materials holds. I don't think this could happen for monetary reasons. Piecing together optimal monetary policy in the singularity is a side project of mine and though it sounds silly possibly very important. [1]
So your house, for example, might still be worth 250K dollars but within a few years the cost of deconstructing your existing house and building a new house from the parts might be 500 dollars and could be done by several thousand robots in an afternoon. As you can see in a world of such cheap service the actual cost of materials becomes a huge consideration. Building an entirely new house and on new land is radically different proposition than reconstructing an existing house.
This is why everyone who owns something besides their own labor power would likely become very rich, very fast in the robot future.
To see how capital responds note that the total market cap of the US stock exchange would be exploding but this could occur as new companies are IPOed every few seconds. Thus the return to owning any particular company wouldn't rise very fast even as the total capitalization of the economy was growing enormously fast.
One thing that is fascinating is that in some ways the robot future would seem more natural. It is a constant source of confusion to people that human time is vastly more valuable than natural resources.
People resist vehemently the fact that it is wasteful to build a careful quality-constructed thing once rather than to pop out thousands of cheap copies and then throw them away once they break. Our intuition places a really high value of materials and a comparably low value on human time. This is why recycling seems obviously efficient to most people but is profitable for no one but the homeless and then only after government subsidies.
The robot future would bring the world more into line with intuition. The price of human time would fall, the real price of materials would skyrocket and recycling in one form or another would be hugely profitable and indeed probably the basis for much if not most of the economy.
I imagine the robot economy as full of retoolers. Robots that are expert at finding new ways to use old stuff.
1: Whether the singularity is a time of skyrocketing nominal interest rates, rapidly falling prices, a decline or rise in nominal wages, etc will be vastly important in how it plays out for most people. If it happens as a relatively sudden collapse in nominal wages that could be disastrous for the social and political order as people see robots coming to replace them.
If on the other hand it happens as a time of rising nominal wages but ever accelerating real asset prices then it will look and feel to most people like a promised land where investing in certain things will lead to permanently increasing wealth.

It's the vuvuzela versus the cowbell.
Waikato and Bay of Plenty will play out the first inter-franchise skirmish in this year's national provincial championship, accompanied by a drone and a clanging that will have the purists reaching for the earplugs.
Bay of Plenty ordered 1000 of the African horns and the initial batches have been snapped up, suggesting an unpleasant cacophony awaits those who venture to Waikato Stadium this evening.
The Mooloo men will need no reminder that the last time they beat the supposed junior partner of the Chiefs franchise was 2003.
Throw in the fact that Greg Smith, whose reign at Bay of Plenty was brief and unceremonious, now sits on Waikato's brains trust with coach Chris Gibbes and you have a home side not lacking in motivation. "As this is the first game of the season we are all amped to get into the swing of things. We have been training hard and the boys just want to get out there and play.
It's always a tough battle with the Bay and to have them first up, and at home, is going to make for a special game," Gibbes said.
Waikato are bolstered by unwanted All Blacks Liam Messam, Aled de Malmanche and Brendon Leonard, while there will be interest in the ITM Cup debut of Brumby Christian Lealiifano, who will start at fullback.
"The Steamers are an attacking team and will be a challenge but we are confident we have the 22 players to do the work," said Gibbes.
For the Bay of Plenty, Dan Waenga has been given the task of filling the boots of injured All Black Mike Delany.
Others to make their Bay debuts are Luke Andrews, Taniela Moa and Brett Mather, with Chad Tuoro and Lelia Masaga likely to come off the bench during the game.
In the 4.30pm kickoff, Counties Manukau face Otago. Much of the attention, if not all, will focus on the return to provincial rugby of Tana Umaga. The 79-test All Black has shrugged off flu symptoms to start at second five-eighth at Pukekohe.
There has been little to split these two sides in NPC history, with Otago nudging ahead 17-14 in recent years.
In today's early match, Southland will be favoured to beat an injury ravaged Manawatu, while Wellington should be far too strong for Tasman in the final match of the round tomorrow.

This tasty, filling summer dish can be served as a vegetarian main course, an appetizer or a light lunch.
Coarsely ground bulgur is available at Middle Eastern markets and some health food/organic stores.
Servings: 6 - 8
- For the sauce
- 2 cups regular or low-fat plain yogurt
- 2 or 3 medium cloves garlic, minced
- Sea salt
- For the zucchini and bulgur
- 5 medium zucchini, rinsed (about 2 1/4 pounds)
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 medium onion, coarsely chopped
- 4 or 5 medium cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 cubanelle peppers, stemmed, seeded and coarsely chopped
- 1 cup canned diced tomatoes, drained
- 2 teaspoons tomato paste
- Sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup coarsely ground bulgur (see headnote)
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley, for garnish
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped dill, for garnish
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped mint, for garnish
For the sauce: Combine the yogurt, garlic (to taste) and salt in a small bowl; mix well. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
For the zucchini and bulgur: Use a vegetable peeler to make long shallow stripes on each zucchini, then cut the vegetables lengthwise into 4 equal pieces. Cut each piece crosswise into 1 1/2- to 2-inch pieces.
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic (to taste) and peppers; stir to coat evenly, then cook for 5 or 6 minutes, stirring constantly, just until crisp-tender. Add the tomatoes and tomato paste and mix to incorporate, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring, then remove from the heat.
Arrange half of the zucchini pieces in a large skillet, skin sides down. Pour half of the onion-tomato mixture evenly over them and then top with the remaining zucchini pieces, also placed skin sides down. Cover with the remaining onion-tomato mixture.
Sprinkle the bulgur evenly over the top, then add the warm water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and cook undisturbed for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool (covered) for 30 minutes so the bulgur can absorb the liquid.
Transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with the parsley, dill and mint. Serve with the yogurt sauce passed at the table.

"Russell Jacoby and Naomi Glauberman have edited a book on race, class, and intelligence that will stand for the foreseeable future as the authoritative guide to the extraordinary controversy ignited by Richard J. Herrnstein and Charles Murray's incendiary bestseller, The Bell Curve. The editors have gathered together both the best of recent reviews and essays, and salient documents drawn from the curious history of this heated debate. The Bell Curve Debate captures the fervor, anger, and scope of an almost unprecedented national argument over the very idea of democracy and the possibility of a tolerant, multiracial America. It is an essential companion and answer to The Bell Curve, and provides scholarship and polemic from every point of view. It is a must-read for the informed citizen in search of all the views fit to print."

Brilliant! It makes perfect sense, that when the bootstrap is re-sampling it's attempting to generate variables that already exist. Thank you so much.

Probate is the legal process used to carry out a person's will after their death; a probate attorney advises you on how to perform the steps in the process. In general, once you have identified and collected the dead person's belongings, including their money, property, and other assets, you pay the person's debts and taxes. Once all debts have been paid, you distribute their money and property according to the language of the will. If there is no will, the laws of the state where the dead person lived control how the property is distributed. A probate attorney helps you plan what happens to your property when you die, as they can probate wills and act as your probate court estate representative. A probate attorney also represents family members and beneficiaries wishing to challenge wills.

The two sides drew 26-26 after 80 minutes of normal time and a further 20 minutes of extra time at the Millennium Stadium in May, with the game becoming the first to be decided by a penalty shootout.
"It was definitely one of the most-exciting games I've ever played in," said Hipkiss, who has appeared in Heineken Cup, Guinness Premiership, EDF Energy Cup and World Cup finals with club and country.
"We've always had a great deal of respect for the Blues. They were fantastic in that Heineken Cup semi. It was a tough way for them to lose and I think they would have shown us a bit of empathy if we'd have come out on the other side that day.
"Fortunately, I was taken off before I had to take a kick at goal so I got to enjoy the exciting part without being too worried about it."
Hipkiss and his colleagues travel across the border looking to put the final touches to their preparations for the new season which begins on against Sale at Edgeley Park on Friday September 4.
And with the game being the first rugby fixture to be played at the new Cardiff City Stadium, Hipkiss is expecting a tough evening's work.
"We've been training pretty hard this week and we'll see it as a dress rehearsal for the Sale game," added Hipkiss.
"That's the more important one but we've got to try and build momentum. We'll be taking it pretty seriously and that's the mentality we've got to have. Maybe you can use the earlier pre-season games to try things out but when it comes to these final games you want to be focusing as hard as you can on the style of play you want to use in the first Guinness Premiership match.
"They'll be wanting to do exactly the same as us. They're a fantastic side and they played some great rugby last year. They'll definitely be up for it at the new stadium. They'll probably get a big turn out and they'll want to perform."

I would believe the complaints will be the same in Arizona as elsewhere. My opinion go to a board certified plastic surgeon in your community and get a consultation...Then go to another and get another consultation. Pick the one you feel most comfortable with and forget lifestyle lift.

LifeStyle Lift is Bankrupt
Lifestyle Lift a trademarked brand name and also is a chain of facial cosmetic clinics with headquarters in Troy, Michigan.
As advertised, the LIFESTYLE LIFT is a minimally invasive, short scar lower face lift performed under local anesthesia and yes it involves cutting and sutures. The reason no one will tell you is probably because as far as I can tell there is no one specific technique, or even a published description of why this differs from other short scar techniques. It is performed by Facial Plastic Surgeons, Head and Neck Surgeons, and Plastic Surgeons.
The LiteLift® however is a great alternative and has been around for a similar time period, and only performed by board certified plastic surgeons. It is a short scar modified facelift offering in office local anesthesia and oral sedation as well as other methods of anesthesia.See the below link for more information

SCSU Soccer Celebrates 20 Seasons
The Husky soccer squad celebrated 20 seasons of SCSU Soccer as they opened up the home portion of the season over the weekend. The Huskies hosted Northwest Missouri State University on Friday night in an aggressive battle on the banks of the Mississippi River. The Huskies scored the first goal of the game as Gabby Fleck sent the ball soaring past the Wildcat goalkeeper, Kelsey Adams. The Wildcats would knot things up at 1-1 before halftime as Anna Calgaard got one past the reigning NSIC goalkeeper of the week Brittany Plombon. SCSU came out of the locker room with a mission in the final portion of the game and scored one more goal off the foot of Naomi Kolhoff which was good enough to send the Huskies out on top with a 2-1 victory.
On Sunday the Huskies started conference play by welcoming the Bulldogs of Minnesota Duluth to Husky Stadium. The Bulldogs proved their offensive weapons in the game was more than the Huskies could handle. UMD took an early lead that the Huskies would never recover. SCSU fell 4-1 in the game. SCSU is now 3-1 on the young season and will host Winona State on Saturday afternoon.
