Welcome to Stucknation
As voters size up their picks this midterm election, they might wonder just where is "the change we can believe in?" If the reordering of national priorities that President Obama and the Democrats promised in 2008 has occurred, there is little sign of it in the lives of the middle class households they promised to champion.
The economy continues to lose more jobs than it creates. And for Americans with a job, wages remain flat, even as they are working harder and their productivity climbs. Employers are increasingly passing on the cost of health care to their workers while sitting on billions of dollars in revenues. July sales of existing homes dropped 27 percent from the month before and the sales of new homes came in at the slowest pace since Feds started tracking them in the early 1960s. And despite the historic passage of health care legislation, Obamacare's impact remains largely theoretical.
Welcome to "Stucknation" where homeowners can't afford to stay in their homes or sell them, employed workers fear for the stability of their jobs while the unemployed still search, and economists can't tell us if we're going up or down.
All this goes back to the health of our markets, which is all about confidence. What engenders confidence? Leadership and vision. That's where the White House is missing a key opportunity.
For two years, the Obama Administration has failed to articulate a coherent vision for just how the nation will regain its footing. It has short circuited the chemistry between the President and his supporters with an uptight media strategy that suggests they have let Fox News get in their head. Right now the Obama Administration remains reactive. The President weighs in courageously on the question of the location of an Islamic Cultural Center and Mosque than appears to try and walk it back later. The great communicator comes off as the great equivocator.
When there is the potential for an authentic interaction between the President and his diehard supporters, it is squandered so he can stay on the canned message and be on time for the next million dollar fundraiser.
I saw this firsthand as one of the local reporters picked to do pool reporting in July when the President visited a sandwich shop in Edison, New Jersey. The White House press person for the event was a temp. Hundreds of well wishers turned out in a spontaneous outpouring of support, but were pushed blocks away by the Secret Service.
Tanesha Wyles was there with her two young sons Joshua and Emmanuel in tow. "We have come from Elizabeth, New Jersey, and we would like to get a good look at our President that we voted for," she complained to me. "We can't get a simple glimpse of him. I think it is unfair that we have to go blocks down where we won't even see the color vehicle he is stepping out of."
Disabled homeowner Harry Klaine was told to move along with the rest of the throngs of supporters. "I came out here to thank Mr. Obama for my mortgage loan modification," Klaine said. "I was going to get foreclosed on Saturday now I can save my house!" Harry would have been great on stage with the President instead of being shuffled off like a vagrant.
The media was permitted to document the President ordering a sandwich and than was ushered out while he had lunch privately with some handpicked small business owners. One of the lunching business owners was Tom Horsburgh, a Republican who manufactures cardboard tubes. He said he told the President that America needed to get back to basics and re-instate shop classes in the nation's high schools because he couldn't find anybody who could read a tape measure, much less use a circular saw. That would have been a great moment on a local high school stage in a town hall! It could have helped spark a broader conversation about how we might re-imagine the America that comes next.
After the staged lunch reporters were permitted back in to record a few canned words from the President. No questions from reporters were permitted lest something spontaneous happen that they would have to account for later. Meanwhile the crowds continued to grow blocks away. Obama supporters sat on roof tops patiently waiting for the leader they never got to see.

once again, the news is reporting another tragic school shooting. this time its ohio, a despondant teen gunman returns to school with a firearm after being suspended - he injured 4 students before taking his own life. once again, the public will be fed the obvious bitter pill of how those injured weren't the only victims, that the shooter, undoubtedly a "troubled teen," was himself a victim.
i really wish that once, just this once, that the media would do the world a favor and not cover this story with any more attention than it deserves, or the attention that this shooter was obviously seeking. Instead of referring to him as a victim or "troubled" call him what he is: a scumbag.
i'm not kidding.
americans spend so much time after incidents like these delving into the fragile psyches of these kids that it almost always ends up that the shooter was not the one at fault.
news organizations and fly by night pop-psychologists have canned scripts and video teasers just for school shootings. the vernacular of the day includes terms like bullied, depressed, abused, loner and outcast. add that to concepts like the pressures of being a teen, angry music and the ubiquitous world of "violent" video games and you have a story that will last for days on end.
i'm sick of it and i long for simplicity. i long for honesty. so casting aside all the semantics of the debate, i'm refusing to feed into this murderer's craving for attention, and i'm calling him a scumbag.
scumbag describes this shooter quite well. be it kip kinkel, eric harris, dylan klebold or this latest stooge, we don't need an in depth commentary on the state of growing up in america today. we don't need to glorify their short and pointless lives any further with investigations into the shooter's medical condition or lack of medication on one "fateful day."
no, we need to call it like we see it: the kid was a scumbag. The scumbag shot other kids. The scumbag is dead.
nobody mourns. at least, not me.
back to you, jim.

WASHINGTON – Telecommuting, a growing trend in the U.S. workplace, is coming under fresh scrutiny following news that Yahoo is curbing the practice.
The trend of working from home has been gaining steam for decades as part of a workplace evolution that allows greater family-work balance and saves energy and commuting costs.
An internal Yahoo memo from Chief Executive Marissa Meyer posted this week by the Wall Street Journal said employees will be required to come to their offices to "feel the energy and buzz" of the workplace. "Speed and quality are often sacrificed when we work from home. We need to be one Yahoo, and that starts with physically being together," according to the report.
The shift counters the overall trend. Some 53 percent of U.S. employers offered flexible work options in 2012, according to the Society for Human Resource Management. That compares with 48 percent in 2007.
A 2011 report by the U.S. Labor Department found 24 percent of employed Americans reporting that they work at least some hours at home each week.
The trend is particularly noticeable in IT firms, where companies take advantage of technology to have virtual access to what they would have at the office.
Cisco Systems, which develops virtual private networks for remote access, said 40 percent of its employees are not in the same city as their manager, and the average employee telecommutes two days a week.
IBM, another strong advocate of telework, said 29 percent of its 128,000 employees participate in a flex-work program or work at home, and that in 2011 this saved 25 million liters of fuel and avoided more than 50,000 tons of carbon emissions in the U.S. alone.
The move by Yahoo "goes against the grain of where a lot of organizations are going today," said Cindy Auten, general manager of Mobile Work Exchange. "This is especially important in the tech industry; they are focused on recruiting and retaining the best and brightest."
Auten said telework is "a huge recruitment and retention tool," seen as a near necessity at some firms now, with the option offered in 85 percent of the employers rated as among the best places to work. She said telecommuting often improves productivity, but in cases where it fails, "it may uncover other weaknesses" in an organization.
Kelly Ann Collins, a Washington marketing consultant who blogs on work and family issues, called the Yahoo move confusing. "High-tech companies like Yahoo that are completely digital have the ability to make the lives of their employees so much better," she wrote. "Telecommuting is not only efficient, it is better for team morale and employee retention. It makes for happier employees that (actually like to) produce top-notch work."
But some analysts say Yahoo's move could be positive, even if it drives away those seeking a more flexible environment.
"Yahoo is in a creative innovation race, and they need to get back to their roots," said John Challenger, chief executive of the consultancy Challenger, Gray & Christmas. "There are great benefits to telecommuting, and there are more companies that need to do more telecommuting, but (Yahoo) is a case where they are seeking to pull themselves out from a position where they have been behind the curve."
Even before the Yahoo news, some data suggested telecommuting was not the panacea it was cracked up to be.
The Labor Department report found that telecommuters often ended up working more hours than if they had come into the office, effectively doing overtime work without compensation.
"The ability of employees to work at home may actually allow employers to raise expectations for work availability during evenings and weekends and foster longer workdays and workweeks," the report said.

Page rank for your website can become incredibly important in terms of effecting your business' marketing and bottom line. If you have a lower page rank or get your page indexed / crawled slower, your site will not come up in search engines as often and traffic will suffer. If you link to a lot of external sites, especially those of questionable content or quality (which is hard to always be aware of), Google and other search engines will lower your site's rank at least to an extent. If you have many links on your site, it might even delay the indexing or crawling of your site so that search engines won't have the information as quickly and your content will take longer to appear on search engines.
So does this mean you should use the "nofollow" tag/code on all of the links on your site? Of course not. You still want the crawlers and spiders to follow your internal links and links to your other website content. In many cases, if you are advertising a link to someone else's site and you are being compensated, they usually expect you to allow following for those links. It is not as big of a deal to skip the nofollow designation when it comes to reputable websites, especially as a favor or virtual vote of confidence. If you want to make sure your site doesn't get dragged down by your external links, it's a quick and easy way to help out. I'm not saying these tactics will put your site on page 1 of Google, but every little bit helps these days in an increasingly competitive internet world.

Cuomo Defends Using Campaign Funds to Cover Attorney Fees
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday said he could have used taxpayer dollars to cover the cost of an attorney to represent his office amid a probe of a now defunct anti-corruption panel, but he chose to tap his $35 million campaign fund instead.
The U. S. Attorney in Manhattan, Preet Bharara, is looking into the Moreland Commission, a panel Cuomo launched last year to go after corruption in Albany, but abruptly shut down this year. Bharara took over the commission's documents and last week threatened to investigate Cuomo's office for obstruction and witness tampering for allegedly encouraging commission members to speak out publicly on Cuomo's behalf.
"It could be paid for by taxpayer dollars," Cuomo told reporters. "I actually didn't want the taxpayers to pay for it so I said I'd pay for it by the campaign, but it's a valid government expense."
The comments come two weeks after The New York Times reported that Cuomo's administration tried to steer investigators with the anti-corruption Moreland Commission away from looking into groups with ties to the governor.
Cuomo, according to the Times, launched the commission with great fanfare, but shut it down abruptly when it began to look into organizations that supported the governor.
On Tuesday, Cuomo praised members of the commission and subsequent ethics reform legislation passed in Albany, but declined to get into details about the probe.
"The U.S. Attorney in New York City now is looking into the operation of the commission," he said, "I think that should be respected and I don't think public dialogue on the matter is helpful right now. "We'll let him do his work."
Meanwhile, the scandal appears to be having some impact on the governor's popularity.
A Marist College survey released Tuesday found that 54 percent of those surveyed support Cuomo, a Democrat, compared with 23 percent for Republican candidate Rob Astorino, the executive of suburban Westchester County.
Last month, his lead was at 59-24 percent.
This story contains material from the Associated Press.

there's a definite drop in my sales, I can tell you that

A host of names have been linked to the post including former Wasps head coach Shaun Edwards and the All Blacks' World Cup winning coach Graham Henry.
But Carling, who holds the record for winning the most caps as England captain, believes former Italy coach Mallett, who guided the Azzurri to a first ever RBS 6 Nations win over France last year, is the man for the job.
"Mallett is my top choice and I think he would be extremely good," said Carling.
"Henry is very good, a very likeable guy, but he has just done it with his own country and I'm not sure he has the edge to do it.
"We need someone who needs to do it for the first time.
"Martin Johnson is an unbelievable player, an unbelievable captain and he was all about winning.
"He is stubborn which is one of his strengths as well and if he is going to be told who is going to be on his coaching team he may well say 'I'm not interested'."

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: A key advantage of soybean is that the crop does not need to receive nitrogen fertilizer. Instead, soybean obtains nitrogen by means of symbiotic fixation of atmospheric nitrogen. Unfortunately, this fixation has been found to be very sensitive to soil water deficits resulting in lost fixation activity by virtually all soybean crops. The sensitivity to water deficits appears to be linked to an enzyme that breakdown the products of nitrogen fixation in the leaves. Low rates of enzyme activity are associated with decreased nitrogen fixation rates. The activity of this enzyme is dependent on the presence of the micronutrient manganese. The research by ARS-USDA scientists at Gainesville, FL shows that supplying the plant with abundant manganese results in increased enzyme activity, increased nitrogen fixation rates, and importantly, decreased sensitivity of nitrogen fixation to soil water deficits. This research opens the possibility that improved fertility of soybean with manganese can increase nitrogen fixation rates, and ultimately crop yield.
Technical Abstract: Water deficit is a serious constraint on N2 fixation rates and grain yield of soybean (Glycine max Merr.). Ureides are transported from the nodules and they accumulate in the leaves during soil drying. This accumulation appears responsible for a feedback mechanism on nitrogen fixation, and it is hypothesized to result from a decreased ureide degradation in the leaf. One enzyme involved in the ureide degradation, allantoate amidohydrolase, is manganese (Mn) dependent. As Mn deficiency can occur in soils where soybean is grown, this deficiency may aggravate soybean sensitivity to water deficit. In situ ureide breakdown was measured by incubating soybean leaves in a 5 mM allantoic acid solution for 9 h before sampling leaf discs in which remnant ureide was measured over time. In situ ureide breakdown was dramatically decreased in leaves from plants grown without Mn. To determine if Mn level also influenced N2 fixation sensitivity to water deficit, a dry-down experiment was done with plants grown under four different Mn nutritions. Plants receiving no Mn had N2 fixation more sensitive to water deficit than plants treated with Mn in which leaf Mn concentration was in the range of 21.0 - 32.7 mg kg 1.

smile! breath! love!
Be welcome stranger!
Its hard to describe oneself in a few quick words that other person will read in the shinning scream of an electronic device to have an idea of who you are. Media is an illusion, or lets just say a parallel reality. Anyway, it is quite important in modern societies so i will write my character and with that i mean the intent of an outsider perception of myself.
My name is Mariana. Im a dreamer, an idealist and a fighter. I love adventures. Im simple, too spontaneous and impulsive. Im curious about everything. I think fear is lovely.

I believe in human relations and societies. Im fascinated for people who think for themselves. I think the world is a funny playground and that is important to be aware of it. Im in favor of self-management, always doing as much as you can by your own and reaching your own limits. I find consumerism completely unpractical. It has consecuences that in the present we still dont know how to handle and is based on the waste. We dont have to participate on it. I think that to be truly free is necessary not being tied to material things and that freedom is something that is worth winning every single day.

Chuck Gedraitis Knives
Here is a knife I recently completed for a customer. The finished knife has a 3-3/4in blade of 1095, differentially heat treated with a hamon. The bolster is water-jet titanium from Great Lakes waterjet and the scales are green canvas micarta. The liner, the lock side and the clip are all titanium. The lock side and clip have been textured. The back spacer is also green canvas micarta and follows the length of the handle up to the stop pin. Overall length is 8-1/4 I think.
Thanks for looking,

The Government should prohibit carryon baggage fees and fees to use bathrooms in commercial aircraft
Spirit Airlines has instituted a "Carry on Baggage" fee of up to $45.00 per bag. Ryanair/Aerlingus are implementing pay toilets. Congress should prohibit these "surcharges" for the following reasons: It's unrealistic to warehouse passengers inside sealed aircraft and not provide a public toilet. Not everyone has a credit card and those who don't will be forced to "hold it". Carryon baggage are necessary for folks medications and valuables and anything not covered by the airlines Contract of carriage. We believe Spirit Airlines has gone too far. It's time for the Governmnet to prohibit these surcharges. The airlines have discovered a loophole. "Surcharges" such as baggage fees and other surcharges aren't taxed the same way as a base fare. What this means to the passengers is that the Aviation Trust Fund is not being funded as it would be if the airlines simply increased their fares to cover all of the unbundled costs. What does this mean to you? The Aviation Trust fund covers the modernization of the ATC system, airport improvements etc. Instead the airlines are making pure profit without participating in the future of air travel.

How to stop a cat from eating everything in sight.
My boyfriend and I adopted 1 year old cat. He is not almost 2 and we believe that he is a Maine Coon due to his traits that he has. He gets along without dogs and somewhat gets along with my other cat. But the only issue that we are having with him is that he eats everything. He has gotten on the kitchen counter before to take muffins, pizza, and bread to eat them- since we learned of this we have started to not leave food on the counters. He also will eat the dog food and has started to eat fish pellets. It is not like I starve him or anything like that- he is a big kitty for his age. When we see him doing this he gets yelled out and the water bottle. But nothing seems to work for him and still does it. The dogs have started to charge him when he is caught by them eating their food- I am so scared that he is going to get bit while we are not home. Is there anything that I can do to stop him from doing this without messing up everyone else routine

It sounds like you have the same problem I do with my cat. I fortunately only have one pet and I feed her three times a day. I give her Wellness canned cat food which is grain free and high in protein. My veterinarian says the key is to feed a high protein diet which makes your cat feel fuller. Wellness is grain free and high protein. My vet also recommended freeze dried chicken as a treat. Dry food is not recommended because it is high in carbs and leaves your cat feeling hungrier than if you fed it canned food. Also, do not leave any pet food (dog or fish) out. I know what you are going through because I also have "one crazy cat"! She is fascinated with the kitchen sink spigot so I let her drink from it in the morning only. I leave two bowls of water out for her and when she is between meals, I give her catnip and try to play with her to distract her from wanting food 24/7. I hope I have given you some helpful tips. Maybe other posters have some better ideas. Good luck!

Tue, Nov 6, 2012
Just 20 minutes after the polls closed in California, the Associated Press has called the state for President Obama -- and CNN, NPR and others are already projecting the president will be re-elected. California voters are deciding some very big questions tonight, in addition to choosing a president. There are 11 ballot measures that will determine funding for public education, changes to the state's Three Strikes law, whether to eliminate the death penalty and much more.
Before turning to the state propositions, host Scott Shafer talks about the presidential election with Mark DiCamillo, director of the non-partisan Field Poll, and with Henry Brady, dean of the Goldman School for Public Policy at UC Berkeley.

Feb. 12, 2010
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- The fourth-ranked Tennessee Volunteers faced 13th-ranked Illinois for the second time in less than a week Friday with the same result: a victory.
The match was close at times, but the Vols pulled away for a 4-0 win in the first round of the ITA National Team Indoor Championships at the Boar's Head Sports Club. The Vols face fourth-seeded UCLA in the quarterfinals Saturday at 3 p.m.
Junior John-Patrick Smith, who did not play against Illinois Sunday because of illness, clinched Friday's match in three sets at the No. 1 position over Dennis Nevolo. Smith and senior Davey Sandgren also secured the doubles point at the No. 1 spot.
Just five days earlier, the Vols (8-0) defeated Illinois 6-1 in Knoxville without Smith or senior Matt Brewer in the lineup. With UT's lineup was back to normal and a few alterations to Illinois' lineup, all of Friday's match-ups were different.
"It was a very competitive match, and it was something we were expecting, quite honestly," Tennessee head coach Sam Winterbotham said. "We handled it well."
"We struggled a little in a few spots. But again, we're showing when one spot is perhaps not playing that well, they're competing hard. It really helps that guys who are playing well and winning on their courts to have confidence to finish up the match on their courts. That's something that we feel good about."
The Vols took a quick 1-0 lead on the doubles point and started out solidly in singles, winning five of the six first sets. Things got a little less certain when Illinois forced a third set on three of those courts.
Junior Matteo Fago wrapped up his match first for the Vols, defeating Connor Roth 6-2, 7-5 at the No. 6 position to put UT ahead 2-0. Junior Boris Conkic followed with his 11th consecutive victory. He beat Johnny Hamui 7-6 (7-5), 6-3 in a long, two-set match.
That left the Vols looking for one more point from victory. Smith had lost in straight sets a year ago to Nevolo, but he came away the winner in the second meeting. Smith sent the Vols to the quarterfinals with a 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 victory.
"J.P. just clinched the match for us today against a guy who's beaten him the last match they've played," Winterbotham said. "I think that says a lot about J.P. He's a leader of this team, and he led by example tonight."
The Vols continued their winning ways in doubles. Conkic and freshman Rhyne Williams were first to finish at No. 2, quickly defeating Marek Czerwinski and Stephen Hoh 8-2. With the win, Conkic and Williams improved to 15-2 this season.
Sandgren and Smith gave the Vols a 1-0 lead when they picked up a break to win it 8-6 over Nevolo and Johnny Hamui.
"We've got the doubles point, which we always aim to do," Smith said. "Everyone jumped on their opponents. We won five of the six first sets. That's a testament on how we came out on top and didn't let up. It was a good way to finish."
For Smith, the three-set match in addition to the closely contested doubles match made for a good fitness test coming off the illness earlier in the week.
"I haven't run that much in at least a week," Smith said. "It was good to get out there and test the body again. Now, I've got another tough match tomorrow, so I've got to get refueled and ready to go."

The Monogram Shop
Thursday, November 20, 2008
I freely admit I love monogrammed things. I don't quite take it to the level of monogramming my shirts but I have monogrammed jewelry, keepsakes, and pretty much anything else. I had noticed that Anthropologie was selling some home goods that were emblazoned with letters but they have expanded their offerings with the latest site update. They now have a whole monogram section. Several of the items within would make great gifts. My eye was drawn to the Initial Pocket Mirror ($14) and the Oversized Zinc Letters ($98). There are also several lockets available. Do you see anything interesting?

It spawned a new generation of weapons designed only to kill men and it trained a generation of men to kill other men.

Two of Formula One's four new teams hit the track in pre-season testing last week - and it quickly became clear that reliability is right on the limit as they race against time ahead of their debut seasons.
Neither Virgin nor Lotus are on the pace (not that they were expected to be) but the bigger issue is reliability - and with testing glitches sapping vital laps from their early testing schedules, they have been forced to increasingly focus not on pace but on reaching the finish.
In recent years the established outfits have hit the ground running in pre-season testing thanks to well scheduled production schedules and tight quality control - but time has been tight for the newcomers, who have had around eight months to create a car and a team from scratch, and although they have done an impressive job (and beaten the other two newcomers) just to make these pre-season tests, it is clear the last-minute issues are hampering progress.
Williams completed the most mileage of all the teams in the eight days of Jerez testing, clocking a total of 849 laps over the eight days with their two drivers. Ferrari was next, on 798, and Toro Rosso third with 741, with the other established teams managing between 600-700 laps each over the full eight days.
Lotus was only able to make the second four-day test and clocked 315 laps, not bad given just four days of running, but they had issues that delayed them and they had hoped for more. Virgin, on the other hand, only completed 257 laps, despite hitting the track on February 10 and having the full eight days of running.
So both face major challenges to be fully ready on time.
Technical chief Mike Gascoigne has admitted Lotus has some issues with a lack of spare parts - and in this period, a new team needs plenty.
When Lotus shook the car down in the UK they had some teething problems and they had to run the early sessions in Jerez without power steering due to a delay receiving parts from a supplier, making the car virtually un-driveable. A crash also halted running on one day, while another saw Kovalainen lose most of the morning with hydraulics and clutch problems.
Virgin, meanwhile, completed just five laps on their first day of running and lost most of the next two days after a front wing fell off and they had to wait for a spare, with rapidly added safety modifications, before they could continue. Then there were persistent hydraulic problems, which could not be solved due to another lack of available parts, and plans for a new aerodynamics package for this week's test in Barcelona have been scrapped to focus on reliability.
It's all about fault-fixing, Virgin technical chief Nick Wirth has admitted, and that just takes time.
Unfortunately for the new teams, all this has a knock-on effect on the ability to perform. With a focus on reliability, their testing sessions become completely different to those of their more established rivals. Where the leading teams, and more importantly those further down the grid, can start to focus on set-up, doing low-fuel and high-fuel runs to improve qualifying and race performance, in these final tests, if the new teams continue having to focus on reliability they will be left standing.
So if the issues persist, it is almost certain the newcomers will be at the back - and the more relevant question for now will be who can keep going the longest...

Leidenfrost point reduction on micro-patterned metallic surface
Arnaldo del Cerro, Daniel and Marin, Alvaro G. and Römer, Gert-Willem R.B.E. and Pathiraj, B. and Lohse, Detlef and Huis in 't Veld, Albertus J. (2012) Leidenfrost point reduction on micro-patterned metallic surface. Langmuir, 28 (42). 15106 - 15110. ISSN 0743-7463
Restricted to UT campus only : Request a copy
|Droplets are able to levitate when deposited over a hot surface exceeding a critical temperature. This is known as the Leidenfrost effect. This phenomenon occurs when the surface is heated above the so-called Leidenfrost point (LFP), above which the vapor film between the droplet and hot surface is able to levitate the droplet. Such a critical temperature depends on several factors. One of the most studied parameters has been the surface roughness. Almost all of the experimental studies in the literature have concluded that the LFP increases with the roughness. According to these results, it seems that the roughness is detrimental for the stability of the vapor film. In contrast with these results, we present here a micropatterned surface that significantly reduces the LFP. The temperature increase, relative to the boiling point, required to reach the LFP is 70% lower than that on the flat surface. The reasons for such an effect are qualitatively and quantitatively discussed with a simple semiempirical model. This result can be relevant to save energy in applications that take advantage of the Leidenfrost effect for drop control or drag reduction.

Seems the security system is working well ---
I insert the key turn to on, all the necessary dash lights come on including the Red Vehicle Theft Alarm Light it then flickers once, then stays on
Of course the van will not start.
Sometimes the theft light willflicker a few times, then go off - then the van starts.
Is there a "back yard fix" or not?
I don't see and haven't read on any of the forums of a way around this short of the dealer.
Any comments are appreciated.

Is my home or commercial property right for a solar energy system?
A photovoltaic (PV) system needs unobstructed access to the sun for most or all of the day throughout the year. PV panels are relatively unaffected by changing weather and the modules are angled to catch the sun, not snow, so any snow that does collect melts quickly. Here are some important tips that will help you determine if your property is right for PV:
Getting Started
If you want to purchase a PV system, you are probably going to need a PV installer. You can check your local phone directory under Solar Energy Equipment or view prescreened contractors list atwww.nabcep.org/installer-locator. It is always advisable to obtain several bids before making a selection.
Before you purchase a PV System:

Photo from the New York Post shows 26-year-old Manhattan teacher allegedly spotted with her 18 year old Global-studies student Eric Arty.
According to an eyewitness, the 26-year-old teacher at Manhattan Theater looked swept off her feet as she sat on a bench near Bleecker Street, legs strewn across the lap of 18-year-old senior Eric Arty last Friday. They kissed and held each other passionately for more than 30 minutes, oblivious to any gawkers. – New York Post
Although Warning may possibly face disciplinary action from the Department of Education, she isn't looking at any criminal charges since Arty isn't a minor.

dp rating
I live in Maryland (downtown area) - 9th flr (historic Belvedere built in 1903). I need to replace windows (currently aluminum -plan to switch to vinyl). NO ONE can tell me the required dp rating! Can you help? I'm thinking at least 50 but some tell me 50 is overkill and others tell me it should be at least 55 or 65. There are no high tress and very few other high-rises in the area.
Just ask your local building dept. what they require.
dp rating
Even if you are on the coast, Maryland is in a 110mph windzone which is equal to right about 30psf. DP is given in psf, so DP30 should be more than adequate.
I never heard of a required DP for Maryland, I am curious when and where the requirement for a minimum DP came from?
It depends on local wind loads but if I were you, go with the better DP rating, as you will eventually get a high wind driven rain event and you will wish you had the better DP rated windows. A good thunderstorm with 60MPH winds and wind drive rain will cause that window to leak.
I would NOT go with a window that only had a DP30 rating, unless you were putting that window in a dog house. :jester: That tells me that window manufacturer is using some pretty flimsy materials in that window.
The windows I am getting have a standard DP70 rating, that is their lowest rating for a residential window, they don't make anything lower. When you see the quality of their frames and seals, you know why. Do I need a DP70? No but price wise there is no difference and why not get the better window?
Is that those innotech you were talking about previously?
Innotech was the one that Oberon has talked about before.
Innotech makes some awesome windows as well. I would recommend both of them.
In my opinion, any window that only has a DP30 rating should be avoided for a home. How cheap the materials and poorly engineered does a window have to be to only get a DP30 rating? I've seen DP30 rated windows leak like crazy in 40MPH rain driven winds.
A properly engineered window with high quality materials like Innotech or Intus gets DP70 ratings because the windows are built correctly from the get-go.
A DP 30 rating is equivalent to a 110mph wind. A window with a DP 30 is structurally tested at 150% of DP or 45psf, which is equivalent to right about a 135mph wind. The relationship between DP and mph is not linear so that DP 60 is not 220mph – it's actually right about 155mph. So while the DP number (30 to 60) is a 100% increase, actual wind speed pressure performance improvement is 41%. Still a significant improvement, but not as good as people may assume based on the change from DP 30 to DP 60.
Saying"...as you will eventually get a high wind driven rain event and you will wish you had the better DP rated windows. A good thunderstorm with 60MPH winds and wind drive rain will cause that window to leak.", is incorrect.
To quote AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440-08, NAFS – North American Fenestration Standard/ Specification for windows, doors, and skylights (where DP ratings come from): "...design pressure (DP) and structural test pressure are strictly structural qualifications, irrespective of the results of any air leakage resistance testing or water penetration resistance testing."
DP covers expected structural performance, specifically wind pressure per ASTM E1300, or snow load if you are dealing with skylights. Air and water infiltration performance is separate from DP. Air and water are rated as part of PG or Performance Grade.
For computation purposes, the minimum requirement for water infiltration is 15% of DP. While water infiltration resistance can be much better than 15%, the DP rating won't reflect it.
To suggest that a window with DP 30 is made of flimsy or substandard materials is faulty since it doesn't address how DP is determined. Want to change a DP 30 to a DP 50? Then change the glass from 3mm annealed to 3mm tempered, or simply use thicker glass, it'll accomplish the same thing.
Structural rating when dealing with DP, comes down to excessive glass deflection or a potential crack; nothing to do with either air or water penetration or anything suggesting catastrophic failure.
The very best sash/frame in the world with thinner glass is not going to have a DP as high as an average frame/sash with tempered or thicker glass – that's how DP actually works. Obviously a thicker and stiffer frame sash with tempered or thicker glass is an advantage when testing to higher DP ratings because it is going to deflect less under pressure.
Again to quote AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440-08: "30 psf (1,440 Pa) for the new CW class (commonly used in low- and mid-rise buildings where larger sizes, higher loading requirements, limits on deflection and heavier use are expected)". That doesn't sound like something that rates being used for a dog house.
The windows I installed in my daughter's house were DP 100, U.17, and .003cfm. They are tilt/turn triples with 4mm glass enclosing 3mm middle lite. LoE on surface 2 and 5.
Keeping in mind that Euro window U-values are computed differently than are North American (NFRC), a Euro window U.14 rating (assuming that the U.14 was converted directly from Euro W/m²k), is about 20% better than it would be if calculated using NFRC procedure. So Euro U.14 is pretty close to NFRC U.17, which is still a heck of a good number in any event.
There is no intent by anyone to deceive or to mislead, it's simply a matter of computing the performance differently.
As you touched on, windows are tested for air infiltration and are treated separately from both water infiltration and structural. Water infiltration is tested at 15% of the design pressure and structural is tested at 150% of DP rating. That means that a window with a DP30 is tested for water infiltration at 4.5psf (15% of 30psf) while a window with a DP40 is tested at 6psf (15% of 40).
A window with a DP30 rating should be able to keep out rain when its driven by a max 42mph wind and a window with a DP40 should be able to keep out rain when driven by 49mph max winds. A DP50 is good for 54MPH. A DP60 is good for 59MPH and a DP70 is good for 65MPH wind driven rain.
I say with confidence that a DP 30 window will leak water in a wind driven rain event of 40MPH. I've seen it numerous times before and my current windows are DP30 and they leak in high wind driven rains of 40MPH. Go on any forums/sites that people talk about windows and read all the complaints about water leaking inside the home during 40MPH winds and 95% of the time the window is rated DP30.
The fact is they WILL NOT stand behind there product when it comes to water infiltration in wind driven events. All they will say is that the water came in at the time that surpassed their DP30 rating (45MPH+ gust) and there is nothing you can do to prove them different, warranty DENIED.
A window can leak air like crazy but still achieve an excellent DP rating. Intus Windows achieve an air infiltration rate of 0.03 cfm which is excellent. Water infiltration is DP related but air infiltration is not.
In the end why not spend a few bucks more and get a window that has been engineered and tested to withstand higher parameters?
I think you will find that Oberon would always spend a few bucks more and get the better window.
I think he is just trying to make the point that a DP-30 is still far better than what is in most peoples homes.
When I saw the pictures you first posted I asked if they were Innotech because the profile looked identical to the Innotech.
My guess is that they are very much on a par.
My other guess is that you made a great call on those windows.

showerhead pressure
my showerhead gave good pressure, all of a sudden the pressue became low, i unscrewed the half of the showehead off, that little round black ball thing connected th shower faucet still gives good pressure, but when i screw the showerhead other half on the water pressure decreases. why? thanks happy new year
There is usually a filter screen/flow restrictor where the head screws onto the shower arm--remove and clean that.
Soaking the head in vinegar might loosen up any lime build up---
thanks mike, when i unscrew the cap of my kitchen sink faucet i see a screen, but i don't know where the screen is for my showerhead
i have a plastic pivot ball, the water coming out the ball to me seems like it has good pressure,i do see a o-ring between the pivot ball and nozzzle. does some showerheads not have a screen at all? and the arangements i know comes like this plastic ball,screen,nozzle.can it come in this arrangement screen,pivot ball,nozzle? can nozzle by itself cause a problem, i used a toothbrush to clean,seems clean,should i soak the nozzle in somekind of liquid?
The filter/restrictor is where the shower head is attached to the shower arm---
A soft brush could help free up the lime----find that restrictor--I bet that's where the crud is---
if not, could it be the holes in the nozzle? i did clean with toothbrush, looks clean, maybe i ned to soak in vinegar, any vinegar would do?
i soaked in vinegar, seemed to remove build up, but pressure still low, i think the problem is a dirty screen, i haven't found the screen yet, i think it may be located inside the plastic pivot ball
Ive used that CLR and it did nothing to remove rust stains or clear a clogged shower head. Whats the secret?
I use CLR also. Just don't dilute it. Or just a little. Shower head take it apart.

Autumn's Leaves Are a Gardener's Gold
There are three things Grumpy can count on happening every year in late November.
+ The Detroit Lions losing yet again in a traditional NFL contest on Thanksgiving that pits two sorry foes who don't have a snowball's chance in hell of making the playoffs, but it's cold outside so we watch anyway.
+ All of Judy's family vying to see who can escape from hosting Thanksgiving dinner for the relatives. The competition is fierce and the stakes could not be higher.
+ The neighbor's tree inundating my yard with a tsunami of slimy, brown oak leaves that threaten to smother both the grass and my cat. (Why can't they just smother the squirrels? I'm down with that.)
I can't stop the Lions from losing (it's amazing what a team can accomplish when they dedicate themselves to a single goal). And I can't stop Judy from considering having Thanksgivng dinner at the Cracker Barrel (who knew pecan pie and apple pie taste EXACTLY the same?) But I can put those slimy, brown oak leaves to good use. And so can you.
Free Organic Matter! Did You Hear That? Free!
Hydroponics aside, you can't grow good plants without good soil. And no matter if your soil is mucky clay or worthless sand, the best way to improve is to add lots and lots of organic matter. Organic matter improves soil drainage and aeration, increases storage of moisture and nutrients, and makes things cozy and comfy for earthworms and microbes that stir and digest the soil and make its nutrients available to plants. Organic matter is brown gold.
So Stop Being So %^&*@#+ Stupid!
Do you bag your leaves? Do you rake them to the curb? Are you, in other words, a certified cretin? Leaves are a great source of organic matter. And they're free! Why throw away good, free stuff in favor of peat moss, composted cow manure, and shredded bark from the garden center that costs money? Hello? Is there anybody home?
There's something else besides tossing out good, free stuff that should make you suicidally guilty. Bagged leaves that should enrich the soil instead get tossed in landfills, WHERE THEY WILL NEVER DECOMPOSE. If you're OK with that, I say we should bag you and put you out by the curb. In 200 years, people will marvel at how you still have hair.
Smart Alternatives
+ Move to one of those enlightened communities that collects fallen leaves and composts them for their citizens. Or harass your own community into doing it. Composted leaves don't wind up in landfills. They wind up as soil amendments in local gardens. Heck, I bet some smart guy can figure out a way to turn fallen leaves into biofuel.
+ Use an electric leaf shredder to turn leaves into mulch for your garden. Of all the mulches Grumpy's used, finely chopped leaves are the best. They look great, they stay in place, they enrich the soil as they decompose, and the're frickin free!!! The Flow-Tron LE 800 worked well for me. It shreds leaves using nylon line like a weed-whacker. True, it won't chop sticks, it works so-so on pine straw, and clogs quickly if you use wet leaves. But chopping dry leaves is a breeze. The Flow-Tron comes with legs, but I mounted mine atop a trash can. In no time, I had a trash can filled with finely chopped leaves to mulch my beds. The fact that it's electric means is starts quickly every time. You can order this baby from amazon.com for $129.99.
Just one thing — you can't use this to get rid of a body like they did in "Fargo." (Well, you could, but it would take approximately 27 years and innumerable line replacements to do the job.) Use a bonafide chipper instead. That'll work. You betcha. Be sure to use protective eyewear and a surgical mask. Wouldn't want you to catch anything.
+ Too cheap to splurge on a shredder? You can always chop leaves using your mulching mower. This works pretty well, although I've found that you need to empty the bag fairly often so that the leaves will be chopped uniformly.
+ If power equipment scares you, you can still avoid being a eco-terrorist. Gather your leaves in these new biodegradable mesh bags that are fully compostable. They're cleverly named "dsolv," and if you go to their dsolv website, you can listen to some lovely guitar music and chirping birds while they show you how the bags work. (By the way, the promo shot below makes the bags look 12 feet tall. They're not. The girl is obviously only a foot tall — probably from eating leaves all of her life.)
Made from a plant-based polymer, each lightweight bag holds about 45 gallons of leaves. The starter kit contains 8 bags and costs $19.99. A set of refill bags costs $6.99. If you have mountains of leaves, you'd probably get off cheaper buying a leaf shredder, but hey, it's your choice.
Promise me one thing, though. If you buy these compostable bags, don't put them out with the trash. Even a compostable bag (including its contents) won't break down in a compacted landfill where there's no oxygen. Throw the bags on your home compost pile.
Now go stuff your face with turkey. It's time to watch the Lions lose.

One of my favourite webcams, the waves look lovely as they break - fantastic - thank you, still wish there was sound though.
Hi there . I watch this scene at 2.26 am 4/5/17.i'm from Iran.i am in love with sea . i love sea so much.i hope meet sea soon.
well John that could be very embarrassing for them if we all find that they're lovers and they didn't know a webcam was watching hehe ;-)
We'll never know but we can imagine. I love this webcam for the waves but if only there was sound.
24/03/17,,,2140 england time, a couple sat on the shore line, would love to know about them, are there friends, strangers on the beach, lovers, who knows,
I agree - sound would be fantastic, just love the waves and to hear them would put the icing on the cake.
Great cam wish there was sound though
My wife & I will be there in Dec. We booked a cruise that stops in Grenada specifically because our daughter & her husband live there. When I told her about my discovering the web camera, she said she was right there the evening before, but didn't know about it! They'll make it a point to tell us when they'll be there & wave to us watching up here in cold, snowy, overcast Ohio!!!
Can't wait, will be there in March.
Oops there is a couple looking quite amorous in the water tonight.!!
Looking a bit calmer tonight
I agree Catherine, sound would be amazing on a day like this.
Is this Hurricane Matthew wreaking havoc?
Wish there was sound on this one tonight as the waves are massive.
@Antoinette Thiele, @Catherine Sunter, I have 26 saved cameras (mobile phone), but that number is never the same. I don't know why, maybe some of the cameras dont work every day, I almost forget of them when they show up again.

Jammin with Local Fresh Produce in Rincon, Puerto Rico
Just look at this beautiful fruit from Rincon, Puerto Rico. The mango in the background weighs more than a pound and the avocados to the right of the mango weigh about 8 or 9 oz. The lemons and limes give you some idea of how big that mango and avocado are. The mango isn't quite ripe for jam or smoothies but its green enough for 6 jars of chutney. The avocados are buttery soft, not too far from the taste of a Haas avocado, and definitely worth every bite full. They are perfect for eating fresh in a salad or with lime right out of the shell right now but since I have so many more avocados these are going into the freezer doused with lime juice. They will make creamy guacamole, dips and sandwich spreads for Christmas parties. More mangoes are coming for the jam pot and freezer. Gonna love making island mango smoothies, crumbles and cobblers this winter.
Guavas have just come into season and their bitter sweet skins will go into the jam pot along with some ripe mango. Guava skins are 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick and tasty when stewed in a light syrup. Guava puree and strawberries with a kiss of rosemary is my next jam creation. More about guava in a coming up post.
Be sure to drop by again for more recipes with fresh local produce from Rincon, Puerto Rico.

From the hotel, our tour guide-slash-driver, Jacques, took us to the reserve park. A former private collection of the late Sheikh Zayed, Sir Bani Yas Island's wildlife park has more than 12,000 animals roaming freely on the 50 square kilometers park. The flora of the island, 2.5 million trees and patches of grass, is irrigated by desalinated water from the main island of Abu Dhabi. This serves as a source of food and shade to the animals.
Check out these photos I took while onboard a 4WD that took us around the park.
