Hydronic Forced Air
3 Attachment(s)
I am looking to purchase a home and after the home inspection i found the house has these things in every room. From my search this looks like a hydronic Forced Air. Does anyone know anything about this ? is it eficient ? Any issues with the system as far as fire, water damage etc? what is the cost of changing this ?
any input is greatly appreciated.

eta:back out of the contract and get any deposit money back too.
thank you for your response.
I am not sure the seller will convert of update the system. Iwanted to see if anyone here have seen this and cost of getting this converted to HVAC or any radiator system
--but if they want to sell-- then sellers need to fix their major systems.
The subtext of my first post is that very few buyers will have the many thousands of dollars needed to install a modern HVAC system (or new roof or whatever else that might be deficient in an older home) on top of all the other purchase expenses they have.
Most buyers will NEED the seller to do that level of work on their own and wrap the total cost into the negotiated price which will then be part of the mortgage. Serious sellers (with good agents) would have done it before listing and showing the home.
A good buyers agents would have already explained all this to you.
I appreciate your advice but what I am looking for is concrete fix. I am perfectly ok doing this work if the seller takes $$$ off the price. That said I am looking to see if anyone had seen this before, what kind of effort is required ? Options ? Etc
What does the boiler look like?
The boiler looks like its under 5 years old..
We have a couple of long time boiler guys here that may be familiar with that vintage radiator system---
If the boiler is up to date, you just need to figure out if that radiator system is efficient and trouble free--
Be patient--it's cold and some of the best 'help' is likely working or eating supper----
I like hydronic heat--I have it in this house----good efficient and trouble free--and cheaper that any other that I know of---
This does look like a vintage system I have floated the pics to a local hvac shop and they were as intrigued with this system as I was ;)
It seems there a lot of moving PArts and not much support out here to for this particular system. It is pretty loud as well
I owned a building with a combination steam radiator / steam heated forced air system---that was unique---and required the service of the oldest boiler guy in the area----
for a home---converting to baseboards might be an option----the ducts could be used for air conditioning---
Do you have pictures of the heat exchanger?
There should be a t-stat for each fan coil. It was a way to control heat to each zone, instead of using zone valves with baseboard heat.
There should be no problems with a fire ( but you do have an electric blower motor ) as the water temp should be 180F max. As far as water damage goes... You could have that with any hydronic system.

Old Picture-Check Out This Deer!!
2 Attachment(s)
I ran across this picture in my desk this morning, I haven't seen it in 20 years, totally forgot about it. This deer was bow killed less than a mile from where I deer hunt in South Illinois. I had to take a picture of the picture and also a picture of the back of it that has all the info about it. Especially look at the spread and mass, just an incredible deer.
awsome,I hope he mounted that monster
That was one nice deer!!
Midwest monster buck!
Very nice horns though.
How old do you think that buck was?
Just looking at the mass, I'd say he over 1.5 and maybe older than 2.5. However, since I can't look at his teeth, as it would be for anybody, age would be just a guess. :w00t:
Is one great deer!!
how many 1.5 year old deer score 200 points? farm raised? i may be ignorant on deer mass vs. age but here in oklahoma we grow good nutritious crops EVERYWHERE, food intake is no issue. i also hunt a piece of land that has very light hunting pressure, and i can promise a 1.5 year old deer will NEVER reach half that score here. i saw a half dozen 1.5's on my lease that were at worst 4 points and and very best small-medium 8 points. ive food plotted and put mineral sites up. ample water, one large pond and two creeks. ive even dug my own water holes to catch the rare rain we have gotten the last summer, designated a 30 acre "sactuary zone", why do i see less than 100 inch 1.5's and this is a 1.5 year old under more stressful and frantic for food winter conditions than where i live, get 200". And as for simple mistakes like scent, wind direction, spooking deer while scouting etc, i treat the month of April like its November im not scarying my deer off and theres plenty of deer. like i said i may be ignorant but ive supplied everything for a healthy population of deer nearly 3 years running. my biggest disagreement is the weight its self. how many nearly 300 pound 1.5's are there out in the wild? note: i do understand you said maybe 2.5+ . i just got hung up on the 1.5 age and wondered what am i doing wrong since it seems im doing everything right?
no comment on it being a 1.5 year old. :rolleyes:

A lot of people tuned into the Kentucky Derby to see what Johnny Weir's hat would look like. Now you can tune into the NFL draft on Thursday to see what Sammy Watkins's watch will look like.
But why wait? Watkins gave the world a sneak peek of his very bright accessory choices on Instagram today.
The watches both appear be Royal Oak Offshore Chronographs from Swiss maker Audemars Piguet. The basic, un-bedazzled models start at around $20,000. Who knows what the custom diamond-encrusted versions go for.
begs raises the question: If Watkins is buying this type of swag before he gets his first NFL check, what's he going to do with the football money hits his bank account? It sounds like it might be less exciting than the bling. He told TMZ he'll by a car, "nothing crazy though."

I've had success by using a program to convert the sound

Since I don't think ReadList has a double-byte option,
to read a 16-bit sound file one may have to manually
combine adjacent list elements.
If you can't convert to a RAW, you may have to interpret

CDR File Export issues
Hi All,
So I configured the CDR files to download to an FTP Server ( Server 2003 running Filezilla). The Problem is the file export as a numerical file extension. For example, "FolderName.UC560.03_27_2012_11_05_47.607" Looking in File Management, all of the past CDR's are labeled the same. Anyway to get these to export as .csv as they are supposed to be? I can change the file extension afterwards and see the fields correctly, but it is alot of nonsense.
In addition, is there anyway to change what fields are mapped into these .CSV Files? It currently maps 125 fields, and about 100 of them are useless information.
We are going to be demoing CallRex soon to, so this may be a moot point, however I want test this as a free option for some of our customers.
Thanks as always,

Finally, a legitimate health benefit to excessive drinking! Well, the author of a new study showing that the more alcohol seriously injured patients had in their blood, the less likely they were to die in the hospital might prefer we not put it that way. "This study is not encouraging people to drink," University of Chicago injury epidemiologist Lee Friedman said in a statement. That, of course, is because drunk people are (among other things) more prone to getting hurt, what with their stumbling around and driving drunk and getting belligerent and what have you. "However," he said, "after an injury, if you are intoxicated there seems to be a pretty substantial protective effect. The more alcohol you have in your system, the more the protective effect." Friedman, an assistant professor of environmental and occupational health sciences at UIC, conducted his study by analyzing Illinois Trauma Registry data for about 190,000 patients treated at trauma centers from 1995 through 2009 and tested for blood-alcohol content upon admission. From UIC:
The study examined the relationship of alcohol dosage to in-hospital mortality following traumatic injuries such as fractures, internal injuries and open wounds. Alcohol benefited patients across the range of injuries, with burns as the only exception.
The benefit extended from the lowest blood alcohol concentration (below 0.1 percent) through the highest levels (up to 0.5 percent)."At the higher levels of blood alcohol concentration, there was a reduction of almost 50 percent in hospital mortality rates," Friedman said. "This protective benefit persists even after taking into account injury severity and other factors known to be strongly associated with mortality following an injury."
Obviously, as Friedman emphasizes, this isn't a green light to a life of inebriation. Heavy alcohol consumption is extremely dangerous in the short- and long-term. So other than highlighting an interesting phenomenon, how can science use this research? One way, Friedman suggests, is that by understanding the protective effects of booze in situations of bodily trauma, "we could then treat patients post-injury, either in the field or when they arrive at the hospital, with drugs that mimic alcohol." The study is available on the website of the journal Alcohol and will appear in the December issue of the print edition. Now read this:

The Persecution of Ross Mirkarimi, Eliana Lopez and the Continuing Coup
The public persecution of Ross Mirkarimi and Eliana Lopez is the latest attack in a reactionary coup. In his commitment to progressive principles/programs and marginalized, impoverished constituencies and by alarming the City's political machine and 1% financial powers - much more than for his arrogance and misdemeanor - Mirkarimi and his family are public targets, paying an extreme political and personal price. Now the question before SF Supervisors is: do they have the backbone and integrity to represent the people, respect democracy, do the right thing and vote to reinstate Mirkarimi as Sheriff?
The Persecution of Ross Mirkarimi, Eliana Lopez and the Continuing Coup
The protracted public persecution of Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi and his wife Eliana Lopez is the latest coordinated attack in an ongoing reactionary resurgence and coup in San Francisco. Mirkarimi is being targeted as the only progressive elected to citywide office, pledged to continue and expand the enlightened prison reform programs of his predecessor Sheriff Hennessy and to represent marginalized, impoverished and voiceless communities. Led by the SF machine, backed by various coalitions, community "leaders," financial interests and law enforcement; and fueled by the SF Chronicle, the coup agenda has included:
* dismantling of the prior decade's progressive majority Board of Supervisors;
* selection of "moderate" Ed Lee over Hennessy as interim Mayor and the "Run Ed Run" mayoral campaign;
* public pandering and give aways to corporate interests in the name of jobs and economic development;
* take backs of public employee salary, pension and health care benefits in union contracts and Proposition C;
* proposed "stop and frisk" racial profiling;
* war on the poor, tenants and homeless: sit-lie ordinance, mass foreclosures and evictions.
As noted by independent journalist Ann Garrison and political analyst/commentator Ralph Schoenman, Ross Mirkarimi has been clear and public in his commitment to progressive principles and practices in administration of the Sheriff Department and county jail system; opposition to routine, mass imprisonment of the poor and people of color as the contemporary "Jim Crow;" defense of the rights of tenants, poor and homeless people; and refusal to rubber stamp implementation and enforcement of routine evictions of indigent tenants and mass foreclosures with fraudulent paper work. In doing so, he's obviously pissed off San Francisco's pernicious political machine and financial powers, i.e. the banks, wealthy property owners, speculators and real estate conglomerates that set and control the City's political agenda for the Democrats and Supervisors; the 1% and their professional, police, legal and media gate keepers and enforcers. For that - much more than his admitted arrogance and misdemeanor - he and his family are prime time public targets and paying an extreme political and personal price.
As narrated and portrayed in the final episode of Starz's "Boss" Season 1, the primary interest and objectives of political and economic power are continuity, stability and long term preservation of the status quo, with the occasional, necessary appearance of fresh leadership and change. The leadership and progressive changes signaled and proposed by newly elected Sheriff Mirkarimi were unacceptable and red flags to the dominate power structure and players in SF. He had to go.
However, Mirkarimi has been fully accountable for his actions, gone through the legal process, pled guilty, made a public apology and act of contrition and has been sentenced. That should be the end of it. But instead, he was suspended without even a hearing and without pay by Lee and faces removal from elected office in political circus trials before the Ethics Commission and Board of Supervisors. The family had been separated by court order, publicly exploited, humiliated and dragged through the mud daily by political hacks and Chronicle reporters, columnists and editors. The Hearst Corporation Chronicle's smear job reminds us of the rag's collaboration with the US Dept. of Justice in the criminalization and vilification of local hero Barry Bonds. Of dozens of MLB players implicated in the BALCO drug scandal, only Bonds, an outspoken African-American, was prosecuted in federal court (for perjury) on flimsy evidence, without positive test results or primary witness testimony.
As noted by Eliana herself, the Latino Democratic Club and women supporters, her expressed wishes and interests as a woman, wife, Latina and immigrant have been repeatedly ignored, distorted and shamelessly manipulated for public entertainment and political pay back. Clearly the real abuse of Eliana Lopez has been by powerful interests who have cynically invoked and manipulated domestic violence and women's issues but are indifferent to women's rights.
For perspective we should remember and note the following contradictions from recent SF political history:
1. Mayor Gavin Newsom (appointed Supervisor by Willie Brown) did not face "official misconduct" charges, suspension or any disciplinary measures following exposure of his alcoholism and affair with a staff advisor's wife.
2. George Gascón was originally recruited for SF Chief of Police as an outside reformer to clean up the SFPD but was subsequently appointed District Attorney by Newsom, potentially compromising his political independence and integrity in investigations and decisions effecting the Mirkarimi prosecution and allegations against Lee.
3. Breaking a political agreement and explicit pledge to not seek the office during his interim appointment, Lee and his backers justified his run for Mayor by promising a new era of civility and end to political strife in City Hall. Yet nothing said or done by Chris Daly and the Board's Left majority during the 2000s comes close to the public freak show and civil warfare unleashed by Lee and the machine's other puppet officials in the relentless persecution of Mirkarimi.
4. Besides previous charges of ballot tampering and fraud in Lee's mayoral campaign, Mayor Lee himself is accused of perjury, obstruction of justice, conflict of interest, corruption and tampering with the suspension and misconduct proceeding in a) his faltering testimony before the Ethics Commission (interrupted by an apparent police staged "bomb threat" at a critical point of defense counsel questioning the veracity of Lee's testimony); b) discussion of the case with one or more Supervisors; and c) offering a job deal in exchange for Mirkarimi's resignation. Despite statements of credible witnesses, Building Inspection Commissioner Debra Walker and former Supervisor Aaron Peskin, the District Attorney and Ethics Commission have refused to investigate the Mirkarimi defense claims or charges of official misconduct by Lee.
5. As explained by Schoenman, the historic Recycling Center in Golden Gate Park had exposed and fought the Mayor and machine's "sit-lie" campaign as harassment aimed at homeless, poor and Gays. In retaliation, the Center was targeted for closure and replacement by a "lease-land" arrangement (an action currently challenged in court).
No, the move on the Mirkarimis is just shameless, dirty politics at its worst, San Francisco style. And it's disturbing that some people and groups on the Left who should know better have joined or been co-opted to this appalling party or distanced themselves from a long time progressive ally for political cover. Apparently criminal conviction and political embarrassment aren't enough to satisfy the rapacious appetites of the financiers, law enforcement and machine honchos, Lee and his makers - they're out to ruin Ross and Eliana politically and personally. For many months the question has been whether decent people, progressives and the San Francisco electorate would continue to dumb down and stand by - or wise up, stand up and push back. Now with substantial demonstrated public support, the immediate question before the Supervisors is: do they have the backbone and integrity to represent the people, respect democracy, do the right thing and vote to reinstate Ross Mirkarimi as Sheriff?

Thank you Bob English for your call to reinstate Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi. The rally today for the Sheriff is at Noon in front of City Hall, Polk and McAllister, on the Civic Center Plaza side with the Board meeting to start at 2 p.m. The Board of Supervisors could have and should have just let the case sit for 30 days and Ross would have been reinstated. Instead, they decided to sing the company, capitalist class tune and have a hearing. Most of the people on this Board, if not all of them, are there to promote their career. They need to know exactly who campaigns in this town, so your presence, or at the least, your phone calls are needed to the Board of Supervisors now. You can get more information at
The advertisement on the Bay Guardian's website says today's noon rally at City Hall on the Polk Street Side is supported by the National Lawyers Guild, the Harvey Milk Lesbian, Gay, etc. Democratic Club, SF Labor Council, SEIU 1021, Latino Democratic Club and the gay newspaper, Bay Area Reporter (BAR).
You can watch the hearing starting at 2 p.m. on San Francisco Cable Channel 26 and online at:

Technical Abstract: Crops that follow alfalfa in rotation usually benefit from: i) reduced nitrogen (N) requirement from fertilizer or manure; ii) increased yield potential than when following other crops; and iii) reduced weed, insect, and disease pressure. Although benefits of alfalfa in crop rotations often depend on how long alfalfa is kept in production, limited data exist on this for the Upper Midwest, where about one-third of the nation's alfalfa is produced. Additionally, no data are available that describe geographic patterns in which crops are grown after alfalfa. We combined USDA Cropland Data Layers for 2006 to 2012 to describe geographic trends in alfalfa production length and the two crops that follow alfalfa in six midwestern states. Shorter alfalfa stands (2-4 years, including the seeding year) were most frequent in northern and central Iowa, southeastern South Dakota, eastern Nebraska, and nearly everywhere south of Interstate 94 in Minnesota. Longer stands (5-7+ years) were most frequent across the Dakotas (except near the Red River Valley and southeast South Dakota), in Nebraska, and in northern Minnesota. Wisconsin had several areas of both shorter (2-4 years) and longer (5-7+ years) alfalfa production lengths. Corn was the most frequent first-year crop after alfalfa in all states except North Dakota. Soybean, which usually requires no N fertilizer, was the first-year crop in 15% of cases across the Dakotas, Minnesota, and Iowa, but was less prevalent in Nebraska and Wisconsin. Corn was the second-year crop produced by one-half to three-fourth of growers in all states except North Dakota, where it was grown less frequently. Soybean was the second-year crop in 25 to 37% of cases across each state except Wisconsin, where soybean was only half as frequent. These are the first geographic estimates describing crop rotation patterns of alfalfa and annual crops in the Upper Midwest. Such descriptions should improve estimates of economic and environmental benefits of alfalfa in crop rotations, aid in planning of fertilizer need assessments for alfalfa and the crops that follow, and help focus the development of education and research on best crop rotation practices. It is apparent that more research is needed in this region to document the potential yield benefit and recovery of N from alfalfa in soybean, small grains, or other crops.

The weather this "winter" has been shockingly dry and mild for Minnesota. As of today we have gotten a grand total of only a couple inches of snow, and no below-zero temperatures.
Yesterday, Christmas Day, it was in the 40's. I went for an 18+ mile ride to my parent's and back (the kids rode in the car with She Who Puts Up With Me). In anything close to a normal winter, that ride would be out of the question for me because of icy/wet roads and cold. I managed a similar ride on Thanksgiving Day.
The extended forecast is showing only slight chances of snow and nothing in the way of January-like cold for the next week. At the rate we're going this could be the year without a winter. January and February are normally the coldest months of the year, but we are now gaining sunlight every day and the lack of snow means that the ground absorbs a lot more solar energy.
I've been riding my recumbent trike (aka The Dorkmobile) for a little over a year and 1,500 miles now, and even convinced my brother to buy one.
Lately I've noticed more and more recumbents, including trikes, on the roads and trails. So in case you're thinking of riding one, here are some of my experiences so far.
Riding a recumbent trike is surprisingly different from a traditional bike, and takes some getting used to. You are low to the ground, don't lean into turns the same way, and use different muscles to pedal.
I like to describe it as pedaling a lawn chair, though the sensation of motion is more like a go-cart than anything else. If you're transitioning from a traditional bike, expect it to feel weird for the first hundred miles or so. You will have to learn to brake evenly with both hands (to avoid brake steer), and going really fast (30+MPH) feels unstable at first even though it isn't.
The biggest advantage of the trike is comfort. I can ride all day with no ill effects other than a little muscle soreness; on a traditional bike, my shoulders, wrists, and butt would be killing me after just a few miles.
I also find the trike a lot more fun than a regular bike. The low-to-the-ground position gives a great impression of speed, and the machine is unusual enough to get regular comments (and compliments) on the trail.
Between the comfort and the fun, I find that I'm riding a lot more on the trike than I ever rode my bike. I never tracked my bike riding very closely, but the 1,500 trike miles in the past year is probably close to my entire lifetime bike miles.
I didn't appreciate this until after a thousand miles or so, but adding a third wheel at least doubles the mechanical complexity of a trike over a traditional bike. Two front wheels means that steering is accomplished through a bunch of mechanical linkages; and the very long chainline means extra gears and the opportunity for the chain to oscillate wildly if it isn't tensioned properly.
The trike also has a much bigger footprint than a bike, which makes it harder to store and transport. There are few trike racks made for cars, so I've usually wound up strapping it to the roof (which works really well as long as you only need to carry one trike). It takes up the space of two or three bicycles in the garage.
The third wheel also adds some drag, so the trike will not be quite as fast as a bicycle. If you care about speed, this is probably not for you.
A trike has many of the same safety considerations as a bicycle, but also some differences. Just as with a bike, when riding on roads visibility to cars is a really big deal. Big flags and lots of flashing lights are a good idea. I have a flashing light mounted on my flag pole, which puts it near eye level for drivers. I've not had much difficult being seen.
Another issue is that with the low posture of a trike, sometimes seeing around cars is a problem--for example, when I'm stopped at an intersection and a car pulls up next to me a little too far. On a traditional bike, I would be able to see over the car's hood, but on my trike my eye level is about at the top of the car's wheel. This isn't normally a safety issue, since the car usually knows I'm there, but it is annoying because I can't go until the car stop blocking my view.
The trike does have a huge safety advantage when it comes to stability. Three wheels and a low center of gravity means that a trike is very hard to flip, whereas a bike can wipeout on even a small patch of slippery or loose ground. If you do flip, there isn't very far to fall. I've flipped my trike twice, and both were essentially non-events: get up, brush myself off, and continue.
(In case you're wondering, the recipe for flipping a trike is to turn from a road onto a sidewalk carelessly. If you take the turn too fast and cut the inside of the corner, the inside front wheel will bump up on the curb and your momentum will flip you right onto your side.)
A recumbent trike is not for everyone. It is more expensive and someone more maintenance-prone, and also a little slower than a bike.
But for me, it has been worth it. I ride a lot more often, and a lot further, than I ever did on a bike, just because it is so much fun. If you're thinking about a trike, I suggest that you give it a good long test ride. If you're grinning so much that you have to pick the bugs out of your teeth afterwards, then there's your answer.
I crossed 500 miles under pedal power in 2009 not long ago, as well as logging a week over 100 miles. That's a nice milestone on the way to my goal for the year of 2,000 miles, but I'm starting to think that might be a bit out of reach.
Last year I logged about 900 miles but that was a partial season since I didn't get the trike until mid-June. I figured that with diligence, I should be able to double that number for 2009 (hence the 2,000 mile goal), but I didn't consider the cumulative effects of vacations, wacky summer schedules, and some downtime for mechanical problems.
Sadly, the weather this week is supposed to be absolutely perfect for trike-riding, but the kids' summer schedules are probably going to limit the number of days I can actually ride to work. We're in the crazy part of the summer now, when all three kids have one summer program or another and we have to drive them all over creation every day.
Today I reached 200 miles on my trike for 2009. The goal is 2,000 miles for the year, so I'm 10% of the way there.
2,000 miles will be a push, so making this milestone by the end of April is a good start.
Following up on the article from last November about my recumbent trike, I did get the Velokit installed in the hopes I could keep riding in the winter. But I made two mistakes.
First, I was too optimistic about the cold weather advantages of having a full fairing. Keeping the wind off is nice, but I didn't think of the problem of the inside windshield frosting over. When the trike is moving this isn't a problem, since there's enough air movement inside to keep the window clean. When stopped, however, my heavy breathing causes instant fog, and if it's much below freezing the fog freezes almost as fast. Once frozen, it won't easily come off, making for a hazardous situation.
Second, we had some early snowstorms this winter followed by an extended period of very cold weather. This coated the side streets around my home with a very persistent layer of ice and made it impossible to get up the hills on the trike. Had I planned ahead I would have gotten studded tires, but I didn't think of that in time.
So I pretty much stopped riding between Thanksgiving and mid-February. Now that we're getting towards spring, we've had a higher sun and enough days of above freezing weather to clean the ice off the roads, and I've completed one and a half round trips to the office on my trike this year--a total of 25 miles so far in 2009.
I've set my goal for this year at 2,000 miles. I think that's do-able, if I'm diligent about riding to work whenever possible and get in a few extended trips on the side.

I have been a student of voice technique since my first voice lesson with Gayle Gaylord in New York City in 1967.
The road from Gayles studio has led to places like "Catch a Rising Star" in Manhattan and other places around the city.
Many auditions landed me in the role of a member of the cast of "Wanna Hear Luck" off Broadway".
After looking in trade papers for gigs and other singing opportunities, I found a group called "Executive Privilege" doing demos work for the purpose of selling music to big named recording artists, like Cuba Gooding Senior, who was the lead singer for"the Main Ingredient". He sang the tune "Everybody Plays the Fool". One day I had lunch with Mr. Gooding and with him was his son Cuba Gooding Jr.. Singing for a living is an elusive thing, so when I wasn't singing I worked for a designer who was designing the clothes for Diana Ross.
She was interested in the fact that I was trying to break into the world of show business, and asked for a demo and luckily I had one to give her. She invited the designer" Julio Martinez and I to Las Vegas to see her show at Caesar's Palace.
While being transfixed by the shining talent of Miss Ross, suddenly she was holding a mic to my mouth saying "Sing pretty now?", and I did as well as I could, considering that one of the worlds most famous singers was asking me to sing in the biggest room at Caesars Palace.
Since then I came back to my home state of Minnesota, and continued singing ever chance I could find. I have sung at the internationally acclaimed, Dakota Jazz Club, the historical Lexington Restaurant, Sophia's on Main Street and other lesser known venues.
I have done broadway type shows in civic productions of "Roar of the Greasepaint Smell of the Crowd" written by Anthony Newly,
and "West Side Story" and landed the role of the male lead "Tony". The reviews were great! I am still proud of the reviews!
I have recorded 2 CD's "Limerence" consisting of ballads from the Great American Song Book, and "Invitation" consisting of more
obscure and jazzy Tunes. I hope I have given you an idea of who I am and that you see the path that has lead me to this web
site.Listen to the music that you will find here and linked to this web site. Thanks for stopping by-Thomas Bruce

"I really love the card. I like how easy it was to personalize with the fonts, sizes and spacing. Being able to put a logo on the back was great too. Only thing I wish they had had more front border color options."
"I was looking for something that was simple and beautiful at the same time. I came across this card and knew it was what I wanted. The detail with the color of the name along with the thin lines adds such a nice touch. I was not expecting such a good quality with the paper and was pleasantly surprised. I already have recommended this card along with the site to my friends. Thank you!"
"The designers at Tiny Prints is what makes them stand out from any company offering business cards. The ability to customize both sides of this card is absolutely wonderful. My husband's business cards are AMAZING! Thank you, designers for your amazing work! So glad, we chose Tiny Prints."
"This card came out really well. I spent a lot of time looking at a competitors website because they were a little cheaper but I didn't like the designs. The customer service was great, and I got my cards 5 days before I was expecting them. They were worth spending a little more money. I will continue to buy products from them!"

Most people would think that I am the size I am because of my incredible sweet tooth. Everyone who knows me understands that I cannot say no to a Reese's Cup, a Key Lime Pie or Paula Deen's Pound Cake.
But the truth is, while I love my sweets, I love bread just as much.
There's nothing more savory than hot bread slathered in a pound of butter. And because I don't discriminate, cold bread with butter, or peanut butter, is pretty darn good too.
Aside from cheese biscuits, light and fluffy yeast rolls are by far my favorite bread type.

Genesis 11:1-9 is one of those sections within the Bible where many people believe they have it figured out.

Ellas McDaniel Jr. was just a year old when his father went from relative obscurity, driving an asphalt truck and playing rhythm and blues on the street corners of Chicago, to worldwide fame.
"He was trying to put diapers on me and my sister. That's what led him to play on street corners," McDaniel said last week from the home of Chiefland friend Duane Schwingel. "My mother (Ethel) worked for the Polo Meat Co., cuttin' up chickens."

Reading the play : adaptation by prediction of agent motion
Ball, David & Wyeth, Gordon (2008) Reading the play : adaptation by prediction of agent motion. In Kim, Jonghyuk & Mahony, Robert (Eds.) Proceedings of Australasian Conference on Robotics and Automation 2008, Australian Robotics and Automation Association Inc, Canberra.
Published Version
(PDF 768kB)
An adaptive agent improves its performance by learning from experience. This paper describes an approach to adaptation based on modelling dynamic elements of the environment in order to make predictions of likely future state. This approach is akin to an elite sports player being able to "read the play", allowing for decisions to be made based on predictions of likely future outcomes. Modelling of the agent"s likely future state is performed using Markov Chains and a technique called "Motion and Occupancy Grids". The experiments in this paper compare the performance of the planning system with and without the use of this predictive model. The results of the study demonstrate a surprising decrease in performance when using the predictions of agent occupancy. The results are derived from statistical analysis of the agent"s performance in a high fidelity simulation of a world leading real robot soccer team.

While searching for party decorations for my daughter's 1st birthday I came across these great paper bag flowers on a number of blogs. The original seems to be Martha Stewart - the queen of all things crafty. Here is our version!
We used 7 pink paper bags we got in the party aisle at Walmart, double stick tape , a hole punch, some bakers string and scissors.
Start by cutting the corners off your bags , I wasn't at all careful or precise. I had one kid eating and the other crawling around my feet (I know you can relate) but as you can see precise isn't super important.
Next cut bottoms off.
Punch a hole in each.
Add the string.
Using the double stick tape tape the bags together.
Fluff , tape the two ends together and hang.
It took me 3 minutes, which is great because yesterday that was all I had! I hope to have a bunch more made for the party.

It is an annual tradition for New Yorkers to come to the city and view windows decorated for the holidays, and there are few windows in the Big Apple with more visibility than ABC Studios, located at 44th and Broadway -- directly across the street from the spot where the Times Square ball is dropped every New Year's Eve.
VISIT DENVER the Convention & Visitors Bureau was offered the opportunity to decorate the window. Working with local Condit Exhibits, they created an elaborate 11.5-foot long display to fill the space. The display features models of many of the city's top holiday icons, including a lighted City & County Building, Union Station, the Parade of Lights, Red Rocks Amphitheatre and the Denver Art Museum. A moving replica of the Ski Train circles the window, entering the Moffat Tunnel to Winter Park Resort, while skiers schuss down a giant mountain slope above.
Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper will unveil Denver's window live in New York on Good Morning America on Friday, December 5. A party is being staged in Denver's Union Station from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m. on December 5 and Good Morning America will cut away from New York to the crowd in the station throughout the morning. VISIT DENVER will have 30 people in Times Square wearing colorful ski caps, handing out Denver visitor information during the unveiling.
"This is really an incredible opportunity to showcase Denver, both on national television and to hundreds of thousands of New York visitors. The Good Morning America windows are comparable to the windows at Macy's, Lord & Taylor and other department stores, so this is a big honor for our city," states Jayne Buck, vice president of tourism for VISIT DENVER. "Through our Mile High Holidays campaign, we have been promoting Denver as a holiday destination for five years and this gives us the opportunity to take our campaign to a whole new national audience. The Ski Train and Winter Park Resort also participated as sponsors, allowing Denver to showcase the best of both worlds – a vibrant, urban city at the base of the Rocky Mountains," Buck said.
The window display was created by Condit Exhibits, one of the nation's oldest three dimensional marketing companies. Located in Denver, Condit Exhibits specializes in the creation of unique marketing and brand experiences with clients across the globe that include Molson Coors Brewing, Horizon Organic Dairy, Smartwool, Chipotle, the Denver Art Museum and others. Since their founding in 1945, Condit Exhibits has grown to employ more than 50 people, with in-house areas of expertise that include the design, fabrication, and production of trade show exhibits, permanent exhibits and museum environments. Keita Usuda, an award winning senior designer at Condit Exhibits, designed the Denver window display.
"Denver's window is a stylistic interpretation of the holiday season in the Mile High City, inspired by the commercial Art Deco ski posters of the 1930's," Usuda said. The window features mountains and a prominent sun in the West and Denver's modern skyline and iconic buildings in the east. Even the Blue Bear at the Colorado Convention Center makes an appearance. The display will be in the ABC Studio window until December 30. In future years, the display will be shown at various locations in Denver.
ABC News' "Good Morning America" is anchored by Diane Sawyer and Robin Roberts. Chris Cuomo is the news anchor and Sam Champion is the weather anchor. The morning news program airs live from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m./EDT on the ABC Television Network.
About VISIT DENVER, The Convention & Visitors Bureau
Celebrating 100 years of promoting the Mile High City, VISIT DENVER is a nonprofit trade association that contracts with the City of Denver to market Denver as a convention and leisure destination, increasing economic development in the city, creating jobs and generating taxes.

What legal recourse can I take (if any),with a person who recieved $750 from me for an amp that I never recieved?I have the fedex reciept that he took the envelope ,an e mail from him stating that the amp was broke and that he would send me the money back instead of the amp,and a uspo money order reciept.I live in Chicago and he lives in Staten Island.Any suggestions would be appreciated,for I have done many transactions over the web and have never been burned before.He will not call me back or answer my emails.This was not an audiogon trans or ebay but one Asylum member to another.
Follow Ups:
What's the timeline so far? Sometimes people can over react when they don't get a response within an hour or so of leaving a phone message or sending an email. I'd be uncomfortable waiting for a day or two or even longer for a response - however there could be a good reason for a delay in respnse.
Give me rhythm or give me death!
Hello...he received the money on October 27th.His last e mail was a week ago and I have left him 2 phone numbers and a request to either email me or call .No reply in 6 days.I would love for him to post his side of the story or better yet send me my money...in a day or two I will post his email address.
I would call the Staten Island District Attorney's office and the Postal Inspector for NYC and indicate to them what has happened to you....this is clearly illegal and the perpetrator should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. That kind of behavior is disgusting and is no different than someone taking your wallet at gunpoint on the street.
Good luck and please keep us posted.
Why don't you tell us the miscreant's moniker and/or real name so we can all hate him in unison. He should die and rot in hell for this!
'die and rot in hell'
Pretty harsh coming from someone in your alledged profession. Especially after just hearing one side of the story.
____________ // ________________
We only have one side of the story, and as DonT said, no timeline.
Die and rot in hell is a pretty strong prescription based on limited info.

I do suppose it would be wiser to withhold final sentence until the "defendant" has a chance to present his side.
Point well taken, thanks!
Be well.

3 Technical Setups for the Week - 45238 views
BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- Last week's correction hit the brakes on Friday, a good sign for traders who'd been watching for key support levels in the S&P 500. Despite admittedly tepid trading for much of the day Monday, it would appear that the broad market has settled on its near-term price floor. We're sitting just about 1% below the S&P's high of 1,344.07, which is a significant target to watch for in stocks.
Right now, the market's acting particularly technically obedient, a phenomenon that should give traders an added edge as we enter March. At the same time, confirmation of support at 1,300 in the S&P bodes well for longer-term investors too; having a nearby support level significantly reduces downside risks for all market participants.
All the more reason to look at three new technical setups this week.
More From Stockpickr
Remember, technical analysis is a way for investors to quantify qualitative factors, such as investor psychology, based on a stock's chart patterns and trends. Once the domain of cloistered trading teams on Wall Street, technicals can help top traders make consistently profitable trades and can aid fundamental investors in better planning their stock execution.
Here's a look at this week's potential trades.
Starwood Hotels & Resorts
For shareholders of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide (HOT), the last year has been a kind one to portfolios. In the trailing 12 months, shares of this hotel giant have risen more than 58%. But the appreciation in shares could have further to go thanks to a bullish "channel up" setup in the stock.
The idea that stock prices move in trends is one of the principal concepts of technical analysis -- and Starwood is a great example of a trend in action. More specifically, Starwood is exhibiting a trend channel, a pattern where the stock's price action is banded on either side by support and resistance levels. With Starwood sitting right above trendline support right now, traders could have a good opportunity to buy shares as they make their way up the trend channel once more.
To take this trade, I'd suggest waiting for the bounce higher off of trend line support. The bounce ensures that our pattern is making another run, and is significantly less likely to fail as a result. That bounce becomes buyable once shares move above the 50-day moving average. Keep a protective stop just below $60 to protect against a downside move.
Starwood was one of Goldman's 11 best consumer stocks for 2011.
For Paccar (PCAR), the tides could be turning. Unfortunately for shareholders, that turn is coming at the heels of the 42% rally that shares have taken in the last 52 weeks. Now, a bearish setup is threatening to send shares markedly lower amid selling.
The pattern forming in Paccar is a head-and-shoulders top, a setup that's among the most popular for nascent market technicicans -- and among the most predictable once they trigger. That said, this pattern sees a relatively high rate of failure before they trigger, something that traders would do well to consider. In Paccar, the head and shoulders setup is unique because of the rounded nature of the head.
Ultimately, traders will want to turn to a break below the neckline (above) for an opportunity to bet against shares. I'd strongly recommend against placing a trade until the breakdown actually takes place -- then, place a protective stop above the neckline at $50.
Paccar recently showed up on a list of four manufacturing stocks to watch.
SPDR Gold Trust
Commodities have been getting considerable attention of late, with silver making multi-year highs and oil prices soaring thanks to tension in the Middle East. But there's a setup that traders and investors alike should be watching in the most popular commodity of all: gold.
Shares of the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) are making a fourth attempt at longstanding resistance at $139. A break above could be a strong buying opportunity.
With GLD, the biggest benefits are the ETF's actual bullion holdings (which makes the fund a near-perfect proxy for gold on a short-term to mid-term basis) and its liquidity. Because of the ease of access that investors have to ETFs such as GLD, this fund is liquid enough to be an excellent trading vehicle. We'll want to see a close, then subsequent open above $139 to consider any breakout in GLD confirmed.
When and if that happens, this precious metal could make a strong move higher.
GLD is a top holding of both George Soros' Soros Fund Management, which owns 4.7 million shares as of the most-recent reporting period, and John Paulson's Paulson & Co., at 14.9% of the total portfolio.

OMD! Mom got the following emailed to her and failed to read the warning: get your tissues out!
I Rescued A Human Today
-Author Unknown
I rescued a human today. Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her. I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't be afraid. As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage. I didn't want her to know that I hadn't been walked today. Sometimes the shelter keepers get too busy and I didn't want her to think poorly of them. As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone's life. She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship. A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well. Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms. I would promise to keep her safe. I would promise to always be by her side. I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes. I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor.
So many more are out there who haven't walked the corridors. So many more to be saved. At least I could save one. I rescued a human today…
Ok... so I know I've been gone a while... and let me tell you - it's been so tough not coming on Dogster to visit all my WONDERFUL pals. Mom decided to get a second job during Christmas, which than continued on until now... then she decided she liked her second job more than her first job so she went full-time to her second job and went part-time to her first job.... did you follow that? Needless to say she's been pretty busy not leaving much time for Dogster... but things seem a little calmer now and we hope to be here much much more because frankly this our favorite place to be!! Oh yeah I almost forgot Mom has also been helping out a dog trainer to trade for training me. So I guess techniqely she has had 3 jobs although the third one is pretty fun.
I hope all my pals have been doing well and I hope to get back in the loop really really soon.
My pals and I are going to be walking in the Tacoma/Pierce County Humane Society's 2007 Dog-A-Thon. We are trying to raise $500 for homeless animals. If any of you would like to donate you can go to this site firstgiving.com. Please help us reach our goal and help to save lives. YOU ROCK!!!
