Panel Relocation and Partial rewire
Hey all, first post so bear with me and sorry for the longwinded post.
I am a fairly young and new homeowner (I'm 27 and bought about 18 months ago) There were two main areas of concern when I went though my home inspection, the first being the boiler, Incidentally I had that replaced a month after moving in.
The second problem and reason for the post, is the wiring in the house. The main portion of the house was built in ~1964, with a 2 car garage and finished "bonus room" above it added on about 5 years later (according to the neighbors) The original panel (100A service) was on the south wall of the house, the addition was added to this wall, instead of relocating the panel, the service moved to the new south wall with a large conductor cable snaked through the wall to the original panel. Problem 1. Problem 2 is that not a thing in the house is grounded. Finally, problem 3, there arent enough circuits in the house. For instance, the entire addition is on one circuit, meaning every time my table saw blade gets a hair dull and the saw draws more current, the south wing of the house trips off.
My plan is as follows:
The easy part: install a new master panel with a 200A service on the south wall of the garage...where it should be. I will then run 3 circuits in the garage: lights, recepticals, and 220v welder outlet. Leaving the "bonus room" on the existing circuit.
The hard part: PVC conduit from the original panel to the new panel using the old box as simply a terminal box, and extending every run into the new panel. (Modifying/adding circuits as necessary)
As for the grounding, It looks like the ground conductor was simply clipped in each box :furious: but I think I can grab enough to extend with a nut to the recepticals.
First and foremost is this the right approach to the problem?
I my education background is in mechanical engineering, and I have a good understanding of electrical theory and am fairly handy. I think I can handle everything up to the actual service connection which I would have to leave to the power company anyway (the drop into the house is a little banged up from winters)
Thanks all!
It would be less work to make the current panel a subpanel fed from the new 200 instead of moving all the circuits to the new panel.
You will run into derating issues trying to extend the old circuits into the new panel.
For the grounds look at using something like a Wago or Ideal push-in connector.
Great point! Would I still need to run a new feed from the new to the old panel? I am not super confident on the quality of the existing feed from the drop to the panel. Also, is there any sort of panel (200) built with this in mind? I feel like a 40 space load center would be a tad overkill for feeding the orignal plus another 3 or 4 circuits. As for the push connectors, great suggestion, I will pick up a pack on the way home and get to work. More on the grounding issue. When the new panel goes in, it will get a ground spike right at the drop (at least thats what makes sense to me) and the new feed to the old panel should take care of my grounds UP TO the panel right?(obviously the recepticles are a seperate issue) The reason I ask is I am 99% sure that even if I ground each box, I will still have an issue as my box is grounded to the plubming of the house...which is connected to my basement located well pump...plumbed to the well via plastic pipe. If you catch my drift.
Agree with Jim.
if the meter is near the breaker panels, as it should be, personally i would run new 4 ought service wire to the new panel.
Then 90amp 2 pole breaker with 2/2/2/4 to old panel.
as for grounding goes, disconnect the old water pipe ground, install two rods outside 6' apart and "loop" new ground wire
from new panel ground bar to each rod and back to the panel.
the old panel, which is now the sub-panel, gets its ground from the New main panel.
just remember to install separate groud bus bars in the old panel and remove the bonding screw or strap.
I always say youre better off with more spaces than fewer. Get the 40 space 200.
this way your options are not limited. you may decide to re-wire each circuit over time.
as you do, you will free up a space in the old panel and add it to the new one.
one day you might decide to remove the old panel all together.
just a few of my thoughts anyway;)
Thanks MrZ. Right now the drop is on the south east corner, and the panel is about 25 feet down that east facing wall. I'm with you on the 40 spot panel...for all the reasons you listed.
Can you expand a little more on how you would feed the old from the new? I didnt quite follow...(as the mechanical guys at work would say "im just a dumb plumber" :thumbsup:)
im sure you understand how to connect the new panel, yes??
on a few homes i did the meters were rather close, and to run 15' of new service entry wire was not very expensive.
chances are the old cable wont be long enough to reach the new panel anyway. depends on panel location in relation to entry wire route.
to elaborate on connecting your two panels together:
the old panel is 100amps if i read correctly.
you would get a 90amp 220 double pole breaker for the new panel.
#2/2/2/4 service wire to connect the 90amp breaker to the old panels main lugs.
Red and Black go from eack lug on the new breaker to each main lug on the old panel.
White Stripe wire Neutral goes from Neutral bus bar on new panel to Neutral lug on old panel
(you'll need adapters for the bus bars to accomodate the larger wire guage)
Here's whrere it gets tricky. the bare ground wire from 2/2/2/4 cable goes from the Neutral bus bar on the main panel to a Separate grounding bar on the old panel.
you must install one or two grounding bars inside the old panel tub. they are "bolt on"
i would install two. if the old panel has a lot of circuits, you could run out of grounding space.
Also depending on the make of your old panel, there is a Green screw or a strap that "Bonds" the neutral bars to the tub.
you must remove this screw or strap on the old panel. however it must be installed on the new panel.
to clarify "bonding" a bit. Netral bus bars are insulated away from the panel tub (no metal contact)
the supplied screw or strap "bonds" these bus bars to the tub (or cabinet) thus creating metal contact between the two (tub and bus bars)
the first disconnect (breaker panel) has the Neutrals and metal cabinet bonded together.
anything after the first disconnect must have neutrals and metal cabinet isolated from each other. (some exceptions apply)
hope this clears up a few things;)
Having redone the main panel on my house twice (1st time, upgrading from 60a to 200a...2nd time, having to relocate because of construction).....I agree that using the existing panel as a sub will be easier. In my case, there was no way I could use my existing panel as a sub....but because everything was opened up...it was easy to just run new wire to the existing ckts.
MisterZ pretty much summed it up.
Just to clarify.....your neut and earth ground will be bonded together at the new main panel (200A), but any sub panels after that, you do NOT bond neut to earth ground...that is why he is telling you to add the ground bars.
In other words...your neut and earth ground are tied together at only one point....your main panel.
This is a very commonly misunderstood point.
Get the point? (pun intended)
Milling around in the electrical secton here on the forum I just thought of another important question I have yet to address. Code. Does the new load center need to be all AFCI breakers? Are there any other major electrical codes I need to keep in mind with this project? (For instance I saw something regarding putting garage door openers on independant GFCI circuits...as it is they are both together on outlets powerd off a lighting circut, and i I would have never thought twice about it.) Granted I know that if I do the work I could cut corners left and right and probably not burn the house down (probably). But as I do plan to sell the house in 10-15 years, I dont want to put it on the market with as bad of a mess as when I picked it up.
In addition, would it be worth it to run new wire to the dryer and range as they are the biggest loads on the existing panel? I also am a little concerned that I MUST be somewhat close to the 100A limit with everything in the house right now, so by feeding from a 90A breaker, I feel like I am running the risk of exceeding that 90A...legitimate concern?
A panel change does not require an upgrade to AFCIs under the NEC. Your local area may have an amendment to this. The NEC only requires the AFCI protection for new installs or circuit modifications.
The NEC is not retroactive so the garage door openers should be fine.
If you are concerned about the load you would need to perform a demand load calculation to determine the panel loading.
I did some more research tonight and its not so much being over loaded that I'm worried about, but that I have so much of the house on so few circuits. Also, I have 3 breakers that apparently do NOTHING?!
Further more, I have 3 lights in the house that are controlled by 2, 2, and 3 switches respectively...but they work much like a combination lock. Certain switches MUST be in a certain position for the light to come on, regardless of the other switches in the circuit. Tomorrow I will kill the feeds and start pulling switches to see how they are wired and see if I can make any sense of it all.
Three way switches that only operate correctly if other switches are in a certain postion are a sign of mis-wired switches where a traveler has been crossed with a common.
The breakers that dont control anything are probably "blanks", or space takers. Not hooked up.
Having too many lights and receps on a single circuit is common in old homes.
Thru the years people think "lets add an outlet here. Or lets put a dozen lights there"
tapping into existing power wherever they can.
One lady wanted to change a light, and half the house went dead....on two floors.
Im still trying to make out your statement about the switches.
Exactly how many switches control one group of lights?
To me it almost sounds like you have a 4-way set up.
Whatever it is, you have a swapped wire somewhere.
Oh, and i just wanted to add. When running new branch circuits try to keep the amps balanced between both legs.
Really its mainly common sense, but some may not consider it.
I took some pictures (see below) to try and figure out the switch combination lock (haha)
I was just talking to a co worker and I think I reasoned through the 2-switch circuits. I think they used hot and neutral (coded as hot) to link the switches (as you should) but I think on one end they dropped the coded hot and spliced it into the neutral...meaning when the switch puts power to that leg...it drops back to the panel instead of going to the light...then again, I would think this would trip the breaker.
MrZ, Hope this clarifies a little. The red dots control 1 light, the yellows another, and the greens a third light. So as you can see reds should be 3-ways, greens should be 3-ways, and yellows should be (2) 3-ways and a 4-way. (I need to kill and pull the switches to figure out exactly what I HAVE) Where I drew the arrow with "only" indicates the switch with the bad behavior. Also not shown here, there is another switch that is linked with the (bottom right corner, 3rd switch in) to control 2 recepticles in the living room. Same problem...I just neglected 1 switch when I took photos.
My plan of attack is going to be this: replace every switch. (yes this might be overkill, but I would rather have guarenteed working switchs in, with POSSIBLE spairs in a box, then guess at every single one...plus, some of them are the wrong color.)
When I dig into the circuit (after I kill it) Ill pull a switch, cross conductors, and then do continuity checks one at a time until I can trace every cable, then Ill put in the new switches. Good plan?

Houston crowd, install?
Well if my intake and my stress bar come in on Tuesday I would like to install them on Wednesday. Which brings me to the point of the post, anyone up for an install Wednesday morning/afternoon. Would anyone be up for that? And if so where at?
id help you out bro, but im 3 hrs west in killeen area and ive never installed a stress bar. lol.. else id be there quick..
yea i would say the same but i never installed a stress bar before so i wouldnt know where to start.
would like to see and learn a couple of things
^^^ugh such noobs lol
ill be there man, its not that hard to install one.
hmmm sounds interesting, but where?
I'd come by, those are about the easiest mods to do. Intake shouldn't take more than 15 minutes, and that includes disconnecting the battery.
Only problem is, I'm not driving 8 hours round-trip for a less-than-one-hour install.
^^ I know we can't even get him to drive up for an all day event[poke] how are you going to get an hour out of him.
JUST KIDDING JASON!!! You know I love you man.
Justin, the stress bar is the simplest thing to put on. You remove a few bolts and put the bar over the studs and put them pack on. I believe you only have to remove 2 bolts per side.
Yeah I know but I am mostly using the install as an excuse to hang out and possibly drink some beer. I am assuming that a socket wrench is needed at some point and that is virtually the only basic tool I don't have.
And again hanging out is fun too. [8D]
^You can actually do it all with just open ended combo wrenches. Its just going to take a long time.

Six raunchy adverts for Lynx-branded men's toiletries have been banned by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) after attracting more than 100 complaints.
A poster for Lynx shower gel and five internet adverts for Lynx Dry Full Control deodorant must not be displayed in their current form after they were found to be degrading to women and likely to cause widespread offence.
The shower gel advert, which was circulated in July, attracted 113 complaints. The poster depicted a bikini-clad woman under a shower at a beach, with the headline: "The cleaner you are the dirtier you get."
The ASA said the poster "was likely to cause serious or widespread offence", particularly to members of the public accompanied by children, because it objectified women.
A summer internet advert campaign for Lynx Dry Full Control deodorant which featured Lucy Pinder in a series of provocative poses also attracted 15 complaints.
The five adverts, which were shown on sites including Yahoo, Hotmail and Spotify, showed the glamour model eating an ice lolly, stripping wallpaper or bending over an oven door.
The ASA concluded that the adverts were degrading to women and irresponsible because they had been placed on two websites, Rotten Tomatoes and Anorak, which "were not protected through age verification or other similar targeting".
A spokesman for Lynx said: "As an advertiser we strive to be responsible and observe strict guidelines for all brand communications. Lynx adverts often provoke diverse reactions and opinions but it is never our intention to cause offence."

Your site is a reference, keep up the good work !
Hi CC, thanks for getting back to me so quickly! I don't have anything to upload. It's just an advertisement for a talk I will be doing in Nov. It's in the form of "Learn this. Time, place, location." If this isn't in line with your forum guidelines don't worry about it. I just thought I'd ask. You can see the ad on my web site at the moment. Best regards!
Hi CC, I was wondering if there was a section on your forums where I could post a lecture that I will be doing in November? I can send you the ad before-hand if you wish to see it. Best regards.
Hi Ram, Great job so far. At some point you may have to do what our "friends" elsewhere do -- they run a "private" little forum that only they and one or two volunteer moderators can see. It's only a matter of time before you get spammers and outright saboteurs and you may need a small committee hooked up electronically to decide on the best way to deal with it. This can be done initially by email but a "private" or "secret" forum may be the way to go ultimately. Please cc Frugal Trader on this.
Hi thought you should know that I have received a spam e-mail which was as follows:
Dear Patricia,

U.S. Department of Energy employees at Oak Ridge donated 11,437 pounds of food last week to Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee.
The donation was part of the national Feds Feed Families campaign.
This is the third year DOE's Oak Ridge site has participated in the annual summer campaign, which helps replenish food banks and raises awareness about the prevalence of hunger nationally.
Coalition of Oak Ridge Retirees will have its annual meeting at 2 p.m. Oct. 8 in Heritage Fellowship Church at 121 N. Illinois Ave., Oak Ridge. Parking is available at the church.
All Oak Ridge retirees, their spouses and surviving spouses are urged to attend and are encouraged to bring other retirees and guests.
When readers or friends recommend a place for an "Out to Lunch" visit, I immediately add it to my prospect list.
Several folks mentioned Captain Ernie's Seafood on Campbell Station Road in Knoxville.
I noticed last week that the building they occupied was empty. I did a search to see if they had relocated, because I was planning to eat there soon.
Not only did I discover they had moved to Lenoir City but found numerous online positive comments about the food at the new Captain Ernie's Seafood Bar and Caribbean Grill.
After increases in the first two months of summer, Roane County's unemployment rate dropped in August to 7.8 percent.
That's 0.5 percent lower than the July rate of 8.3 percent, according to statistics released late last week from the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
The state's figures indicate the county's rate for July was 8.3 percent, an increase of 0.1 over June's 8.2 percent.
The number was higher last August, when the state recorded Roane County's jobless rate at 8.2 percent.
Bob Alford never envisioned himself in the restaurant business, let alone the owner of a burger joint serving Roane Countians for a quarter of a century.
Bob's Burgers, which he and his wife Debbie operate in Midtown, celebrated its historic 25-year anniversary earlier this year.
Joseph Eskridge of Harriman is the first of six Roane County residents to receive an entrepreneurial grant to start a new business.
Eskridge's $1,000 grant will enable him to work toward opening a recording studio and eventually a radio station.
The grant was presented by Mel Clemmons during a Roane County entrepreneur workshop and motivational seminar at the Princess Theatre in Harriman.
Clemmons led the free workshop and launched his Superheroes Foundation, which is giving out the six business grants.
Individuals who use a domestic kitchen to prepare, manufacture and sell food to the public can ensure their facilities meet Tennessee Department of Agriculture regulations through one of two upcoming courses presented by the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture's Department of Food Science and Technology and UT Extension.

Tennessee employers will pay unemployment insurance premiums at a lower rate for the first time in more than three years.
Unemployment insurance premium rates for state employers decreased because the balance of Tennessee's Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund on June 30 was more than $568 million, triggering new premium rates.

"Recently moved so order these pretty address labels. Was very pleased with them. The labels I ordered are simple, elegant, modern, traditional but everyday useful. Delivery was very quick, arrived 3 days after I ordered. Will be ordering from Tiny Prints again in the near future."
"These labels came quickly and packaging was protected great. They were very easy to order , instructions were clear! Nice quality labels and was perfect for a New Home Gift!"
"these look amazing in person. the black actually looks great with the bright text. i love bats and am excited to use these all fall. :)"
"These traditional return address labels are very elegant and have a touch of an era gone by. At first I thought the dark outer border would be too much and make the label look heavy, but half of the label stays with the paper, so the size is less thick. I really love these labels and will get some more for the Holidays"
"I ordered these to use on my Christmas cards What a great idea. Using these "We've Moved" labels let my cards stay Christmasy. While I like this design, I wish they would have had a few more choices--especially one more holiday themed."

Got to try my pcDuino today. It works as expected. I have been excited about it for a while. Below are a few points/questions I'd like to make/ask:
1) I was able to power it with my cell phone charger which is marked 5V/700mA. I had keyboard/mouse/HDMI/ethernet all hooked up. Not clear when is 2 A needed.
2) Not happy about the fact that adobe flash player does not install here, thus Youtube cannot be watched. I was planning to use it to replace the smart TV's "smart" functions where key in a web address can take 30 min.
3) Could not figure out the root password. I failed with several obvious tries including empty and ubuntu.
Anybody can help? Thanks.
No public wish lists :(

KHOST PROVINCE, Afghanistan – At a time where a military and police presence is needed throughout Afghanistan, Afghan leaders have stepped up recruiting, resulting in hundreds of new recruits in basic training.
So many in fact, that 194 Afghan Uniform Police trainees are currently conducting their training at Camp Parsa's Regional Training Center, a temporary facility here, set up to handle additional trainee's who cannot be accommodated through the regular training areas.
The training, covering basic tactical elements such as marksmanship, cordon and search, entering and clearing rooms, how to arrest individuals and how to set up an ambush, is conducted by Afghan instructors with U.S. counterparts providing oversight.
"They send the instructors with the students to the classes," said AUP 1st Lt. Mohammad Hilal, AUP trainer from the Gardez RTC. "Many districts are represented through this training."
Many of the trainers come from different districts. While some are from the Khost area, many of the students and instructors end up wherever the Gardez RTC decides they will train or instruct. Hilal, one of the current instructors, is from Kunar Province, Afghanistan.
U.S. forces help facilitate the Afghan-led training by providing instructional assistance in most areas, said U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Joseph Pratt from Muskogee, Okla., RTC instructional assistant with 2nd Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division.
AUP basic training consists of classroom and practical exercises covering everything from the Afghan Constitution through arrest techniques, crime scene containment, survivability and basic light infantry tactics.
"We are here to share our knowledge and experience when it comes to training," Pratt said. "We are the experts at the light infantry [skills] and weapons training."
The U.S. Soldiers also provide logistical expertise through the courses, handling contractual obligations and ensuring the Afghan trainers are supplied with what they need to be successful.
"We do everything we can to make sure the Afghans have enough time and are equipped with the proper materials to train," Pratt said.
Given the proper materials the AUP trainees are able to accomplish all tasks through the course in order to make it to graduation day.
Immediately following graduation, trainees receive the needed materials, specifically their body armor and helmets, to accomplish their newly-assigned mission.
Actually getting trainees through all required events prior to graduation sometimes can be challenging, Hilal said.
"We try to get everyone through who comes to training, but sometimes there are issues we cannot move past," Hilal said.
During the six-week course, each recruit must pass weekly skills assessment tests. To graduate, they must be able to qualify on an AK-47 rifle and pass the tactical and classroom portions of the course.
Even though only the top candidates progress through the course, they must meet physical requirements to join the AUP. Candidates must be between 18 and 35 years old and not be shorter than five feet.
They also must be able to pass a medical physical, ensuring they have no disease and are not addicted to drugs.
Once all requirements are met, recruits are admitted to training and their six-week basic training cycle will begin, Hilal said.
"This is really good training," Pratt said. "Here we are actually able to get [a] hands on feel and help guide the level and amount of training actually being done."

PORT ADELAIDE 5.2 6.6 10.8 14.10 (94) defeated ADELAIDE 2.1 8.3 9.4 12. 6 (78)

Best: Port Adelaide: P Burgoyne B Pickett G Wanganeen J Schofield S Paxman J Carr. Adelaide: M Ricciuto N Smart W Carey M Bode T Edwards M Clarke.
Injuries: Port Adelaide: C Cornes (ankle), R James (groin), M Bishop (concussion). Adelaide: Nil.
Reports: Nil.
Umpires: A Coates, B Rosebury, S McLaren.
Official crowd: 48,131 at AAMI Stadium.
Port Adelaide was good enough and strong enough to withstand a fierce opening onslaught from Adelaide at AAMI Stadium yesterday, and to then build its seventh consecutive win against its local rival.
The Power's 16-point victory in the clubs' 14th showdown consigned the Crows to a home elimination final against West Coast on Saturday instead of being able to have another crack at Port in a double-chance qualifying final on Sunday, also at home.
There was no doubting Adelaide's competitiveness, after two dismal efforts against Collingwood and the Kangaroos, as the lead changed seven times in the first three quarters before Port, somewhat surprisingly, outscored the Crows 4.2 to 3.2 into a stiff south-westerly wind in the last term.
Port looked to be in some trouble when it led by only 10 points at three-quarter-time, with the Crows to fly home with the wind, which had allowed only four goals into it at the southern end - two to Adelaide in the first term, one to Port in the second and one to Adelaide in the third.
But some inspirational manoeuvres and accurate finishing by Brett Montgomery and Byron Pickett, two of Port's better players on the day, and some wasteful mistakes by Adelaide, ensured the Power would retain the local bragging rights.
Further, the team goes into the finals with 18 wins from its past 20 matches - since it lost its first two this season (to West Coast and the Brisbane Lions).
Port was also inspired repeatedly by the deeds of its mosquito fleet of Peter Burgoyne, Gavin Wanganeen, Jarrad Schofield, Josh Carr and, to a lesser degree, Nick Stevens.
This group's collective output amounted to much more than Adelaide's midfield could muster, despite the best efforts of Mark Ricciuto, Tyson Edwards, Matthew Bode and Simon Goodwin.
Andrew McLeod had a quiet day. He was shadowed diligently by Kane Cornes before breaking away for the last goal of the match after charging from the field earlier in the last term for an urgent toilet stop. McLeod spent most of the first three quarters on a half-back flank and was often conspicuously out of the action until he went on to the ball in the last quarter.
Adelaide coach Gary Ayres later offered an unusual and perplexing explanation of McLeod's role by saying: "No, he actually wasn't half-back. He was half-forward but we played him across half-back because we knew that Kane Cornes would tag him and they'd try to free up someone and put an extra in our forward line, so we thought we would put a bit of pressure back on them, if you like.
"I thought, from a team point of view, that Andrew did quite a good job.
"At three-quarter-time, we had held them to what I thought was a score we were capable of getting over and then in the last quarter he was released back on ball.
"It was all about us not playing into their hands. We could use Andrew to our best team benefit, and I thought that was a bit extra across half-back."
Ayres' frustration bubbled over later when he described Adelaide's last-quarter effort as "bloody disappointing" and conceded that Port had taken its chances "a hell of a lot better".
He said he did not think the Crows had a "mind thing" against Port but added: "You can't shy away from the fact they've won the last seven, and maybe they just do things better than us.
"When it is all said and done, maybe they do their skill levels a bit better. They've got players who can take contested marks, and they free players up and use the short ball better.
"It comes down to them doing things better than us, and us trying to get to that level.
"We are an evolving side. Last year, we were the second youngest team in the competition. Just because we pick up (Wayne) Carey and (Ronnie) Burns, everyone says we're old. We're evolving and I've got no doubt we're on the right track.
"How far we go, I don't know. I think I've got a real handle on where we're going and where we want to go, and they're young kids doing it."

We gave it a B+
In this surprisingly fresh handling of indie quirk, an unstable, jazz-musician father (Michael Douglas) enlists his long-suffering,teenage daughter (Evan Rachel Wood) in a search for Spanish gold buried under a banal Costco. Much of the fizz in King of California, writer-director Mike Cahill's feature debut about the thin line between California dreamin' and real mental illness, comes from a liberated Douglas — loose, hairy, and having a blast — as the Don Quixote dad. It's as if the star finally gets to integrate all his onscreen personas, all at once.

Schoolchildren seemed uninformed about the 1823 Insurrection
Dear Editor,
Over the last few weeks I spoke with two groups of over 100 students each about next year's 250th anniversary of the 1763 Berbice Slave Rebellion. To my surprise, many of the students had very little knowledge of what transpired in 1763, although they were aware of Philip Moore and the 1763 National Monument at the Square of the Revolution.
More disconcerting was that few of them were aware of the 1823 Demerara Slave Rebellion, despite the fact that a monument to this historic event will soon be erected by the Ministry of Culture Youth and Sport.
It was the Great Marcus Garvey who said "A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots." For Guyana to truly achieve its motto of 'One People, One Nation, One Destiny,' there needs to be a common body of historical knowledge and a common ground of shared experiences among our six races. During the United Nations International Year of People of African Descent in 2011, Guyana missed a unique opportunity to share our common history; all primary and secondary schools could have had class sessions on our history.
For the thousands of school children who are unaware of the 1823 Demerara Slave Rebellion, hopefully the few paragraphs below will add to their knowledge of Guyana's evolution.
History will recall the Demerara Slave Rebellion was one of the largest in the Caribbean. It involved 11,000 to 12,000 slaves and spread to 55 plantations. The slaves were fighting for their God-given human rights and their natural desire for freedom, their hatred of an increasingly severe slave system, religious considerations and a misunderstanding about their freedom being granted by England. The slaves were armed with cutlasses and other minor weapons and were confronted by 300 well-armed troops. This was one of the most cruel and gruesome slaughters in the British Empire at the time.
As Wallbridge, an Englishman wrote: "No mercy, however was shown to the Negro. With regard to them, there was a tremendous slaughter under the influence…of an ill-judged and unwarrantable severity, it was deemed necessary to make terrifying examples of not a few, by killing them on the spot. Many were wantonly shot by the militia soldiers for mere sport."
Over 200 Africans were hanged, some of whom were then beheaded and their heads placed on stakes. On September 16, Quamina was shot in the back at Plantation Chateau Margot. John Smith, another player in this historic event, died in prison from an illness.
I have always believed our school system is the most critical institution in nurturing social cohesion and social inclusion in Guyana. We need a course in Comparative Religion similar to the one Pryor Jonas taught at Queen's College in the '60s and we need a concise text of key events in Guyanese history taught from age 8 to 16.
Yours faithfully,
Eric Phillips

Hey Candymix the back of your building looks familiar, do you live in NY?
The playlists are a reflection of my art and my life, all over the place but there's an invisible 'structure', a common aesthetic element that unifies everything, the way I see it, all of those things belong together even though they bounce around with their own unique character. See, I too have artsy-fartsy pretensions :)
I'm glad you like the music.
Justin & Bruno: Thanks, guys. Bruno, those are not my drawings.

Little, loud, and brilliant Rosie Flores
Tex-Mex soul-stress to take Soda Bar stage
Dave Good 4 p.m., June 28
Lakeside resident Beverly Gligo was taken into custody yesterday afternoon by San Diego Sheriff's deputies after using her SUV to strike a woman with whom she had been arguing while her two children, a four year-old and an infant, were inside the vehicle.
Deputies responded to a fight on the 11300 block of El Nopal and found 36 year-old Gligo, who had attempted to flee the scene but had gotten her vehicle stuck between a tree and a fencepost.
The unidentified victim was taken to Sharp Memorial Hospital with minor injuries. After complaining of pain resulting from the fight, Gligo was also admitted to the hospital before being booked into Las Colinas Detention Facility on charges of attempted murder and felony child endangerment.
The children, who were not injured, were released to the custody of Gligo's mother.

As we've come to expect of Android's, you can add Facebook and Twitter information to your existing contacts, and the phone does a pretty decent job of matching up the contacts, making it easy to contact your friends in many different ways as quickly as possible. You can of course import and export contacts from SIM or SD cards as well.
What you don't get is a single integrated messages app that brings in social network messages. SMS are instead handled by the standard Android app, which simply stores your messages in conversation style and date order. Meanwhile, you can add a social network feed widget to the homescreen but this separates out the two services into two columns and doesn't provide any other particularly useful functions. Essentially, you're going to want to jump into the full Facebook and Twitter apps to get the most from those services.
Email support is as comprehensive as ever with POP3, IMAP, and exchange all onboard. Setup is generally as easy as simply putting in your email address and your username and password, with the phone working out the rest. There are separate apps for Gmail (which will be automatically populated once you log into your main google account on the phone) and another one for all other emails. However, the second one has a better interface and also supports Gmail so it's worth setting up all your accounts on that one app and easily accessing them all at once from there. We do miss not having the split screen landscape mode on the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, but as this is the only phone we've seen with this, it's harsh to call the Optimus out on this too much.
The overall typing experience is okay. The onscreen portrait keyboard is well laid out and, thanks to the responsive screen and speedy processor, keeps up with even the speediest typing. The width of the phone's screen helps here as it allows just that little bit more room for your fingers to manoeuvre without mashing two keys at once. However, you need every ounce of that extra accuracy as the predictive texting isn't as good as the likes of the iPhone or alternative Androids. You can download alternative keyboards, but it's something of a pain that you may find you have to.
The web browser is as good as we've come to expect with speedy accurate rendering of pages and full support for Flash right out of the box. Indeed thanks to the fast processor, Flash is that much more usable than on other handsets. It's still not perfect – most Flash games are still difficult to interact with – but it's definitely a step in the right direction and of course trumps the iPhone.
However, as with the rest of the interface, due seemingly to the older version of Android, navigation is just a bit jerky. Pinch to zoom in and out or scroll up and down and it just stutters ever so slightly, whereas other Androids of this calibre are free of this. We're not sure about the super slim '.' and '/' buttons on the keyboard when entering an address either. So again, it's clearly a very good experience but just not quite the best.
We're seeing more and more Androids copy the iPhone style double tap to zoom implementation whereby the screen resizes to the size of the picture or section you double tapped on. Not so with the Optimus 2X, instead it zooms into a sensible distance for easy reading when you double tap on a block of text. It also reflows the text to fit the width of the screen so you don't have to scroll left and right. Both methods high their positives but we tend to prefer that used by this phone.
As you'd expect 3G and 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi are onboard so general browsing speed is decent, signal permitting.

Thanks for the review. Please remember to always include a Feature Table or Spec Sheet.
I tried one out a few weeks ago, although very fast and a great screen, I found that the large buttons on the bottom bezal annoyed me, they made the phone too bulky in my hands/pocket.
Any chance of an Motorola Atrix review, hoping to get hold of one for myself in the next couple of weeks!
Thanks for the review. I'd like to add an issue:
For some strange reason, dust particles get into the space between the camera lens and the external protective layer, so after 2 years of use the camera of LG Optimus 2X will essentially have developed a cataract....
Oh, never mind about my previous post. It's between the battery cover and the lens, so it can easily be cleaned.
I had this phone for 2.5 yrs now. After the first month is started doing funny things, like re-starting randomly and loosing signal on areas were it was supposed to have signal.It freezes a lot. Even that I took good care of it, the battery is dying slowly, I have to charge it at least twice a day and its just not reliable anymore.
I really can't wait for my 3 yr contract to be over so I can switch phones.

I watched a couple of vidoes and I like how people have actually planned out the Da Werda Verda...but can we at least put a little more effort into it if we're going to do it?
Every time I see someone who's not an Islander doing the Haka or even the Da Werda...it just seems very lack-luster. Remember the Da Werda was based on the Maori Haka to honor their traditions. Can we at least be a little more respectful of their culture when we do it? Let's at least put our hearts into it and at least show them that we're doing it do actually show some respect and not just to look cool in our armors?
I'm not trying to you know...insult anyone or anything, I just don't want this to turn into something kind of....lame, I guess.
Like I said, I'm not being a jerk and I'm not trying cause any problems, I'm just talking about respecting a culture and at least putting as much effort into our Da Werda as they do their Haka.
Anyone agree or disagree? I'd like to hear some other comments on this. Am I out of line for thinking this way?

Re: Morning Zombies
Ehh, I wouldn't say this is bad, per se, but I just get a very static feel from it, like there isn't much movement going on. Again, that's not necessarily a bad thing, but the entries that are in the derby right now for the most part seem to really capture the crawling, scratching, teeming masses of zombies in a sense that does justice to the zombie genre. The shirt color here also doesn't do the design a favor, if anything it makes the whole thing seem more dull imo. I'm sure this'll shortly fog anyhow... but that's just my two cents.

Hayward content with decision to leave Butler
By Steve Ginsburg
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Gordon Hayward, the catalyst of Butler's magical run to last year's NCAA championship game, has never second-guessed his decision to leave school after two seasons for the NBA.
Despite losing their best player to the Utah Jazz, Butler (27-9) has returned to the Final Four, leading to speculation how good they would have been if Hayward remained at the tiny liberal arts school.
"I'm very blessed to be here in Utah," Hayward told reporters on Wednesday on a conference call. "I couldn't have been happier with the decision.
"Once you make that decision, you just have to move forward and not look back."
Butler, figured to be an afterthought in this year's NCAA tournament, will face fellow upstart Virginia Commonwealth on Saturday with a spot in Monday's title game on the line.
"I'm not surprised at all they got this far," said Hayward, a small forward who is averaging 4.2 points and 1.8 rebounds in 15 minutes a game for the Jazz. "They've got great senior leaders.
"And they've got (Final Four) experience. That you can't teach. None of these guys are going to be rattled by any of these big moments because they've all been there before.
"And then you also have the hunger from losing and being so close last year. They want it really bad." Continued...

Colorado Springs home to Hollywood film production
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - When you film a movie in Colorado Springs, you get a lot of questions.
"What kind of movie is it? Is anyone in it? Can I be in it?" recalls Daniel Sobieray.
Sobieray is one of the stars of "A Tale of Two Sillies," a movie being filmed this December in Colorado Springs at University of Colorado Colorado Springs and downtown.
Even though the comedy is set in Southern California, the producer, Jan Esten, decided to film here because of several issues near Hollywood. He also found Colorado Springs to be very receptive to the movie-making business.
Esten said their work benefits the community.
"We've rented a building, we've put all of our visiting actors and crew members in motels and of course we have the meals we have to supply," said Esten.
The recently enacted "Film In Colorado" program allows production companies to recoup some of the money they put into the state while working. Esten's movie does not qualify because the budget is too small, but he said it's a big reason he brought a little bit of Hollywood to Colorado Springs.
The movie has cast 16 actors from all over the country and the world. They also have some local help from UCCS theater students and Sobieray.
Sobeiray has worked on the soap opera "All My Children" and movies like "White Storm" but has never worked from home quite like this.
The Cheyenne Mountain High School graduate got into acting through modeling. He was discovered while at the Mall of America. Several years later, he's got a Hollywood resume and a role in a Colorado Springs-made movie.
"You think Hollywood is in Hollywood," said Sobieray. "In this day and age, it's not like that anymore."

It's not winter yet, so I don't know how these will do with snow and ice, but I think they will be just fine. They are very sturdy. They do have a smell when you first get them. All you need to do is leave them outside for a week. I did that and then put them in my car and have not noticed a rubbery smell at all. The fit is great, too. I feel like they are a little pricey, but for a custom fit mat, it's worth it.

Fair Winds Speaker Signings & The Book Nook
If you run along the spines of your cookbook library, no doubt a bunch of them have a little sailboat on them. That's our Maestro Sponsor Quarto/Fair Winds! And they've got some pretty cool plans for Vida Vegan Con.
At Friday's Vegan Bazaar
Wouldn't you know it, a whole bunch of Fair Winds authors will be at VVC, so they'll be taking turns signing their books at the Quarto table (where, yes, you can also purchase books). Scheduled to appear:
At the Conference Center
All through Saturday and Sunday at the AT&T conference center, they'll be hosting The Book Nook just outside the main ballroom. Chill out between classes or when you need an extra break, charge your cell phone, check out their library, or chat with their acquisitions editor (she'll be going to classes too but will be in the Nook sporadically).
And of course, you'll find a little something from them in your SWAG Bag!
Join us in our enormous thanks to Quarto Publishing Group for showing their support for Vida Vegan Con and helping us make the conference special. They're so excited to be a part of VVC, and we're so excited to have them join us.
Talking Big Changes & Mad Men MoFo: More Q & A with Kelly Peloza of Seitan Beats Your Meat
Hey there! Welcome to the latest edition of our ongoing Q & A series at Vida Vegan Headquarters. These special interviews give a glimpse into our past alumni's upcoming projects, summer shenanigans and reveal what they really learned at VVC2013. They're sharing which class sticks out in their minds so many months later, and just what they'd like to see more and less of in vegan blogging, a question that's always on our own minds.
This time around, we're getting serious about VeganMoFo thematics and talking how to survive big, bloggy changes with two-time Vida Vegan Con speaker, 'artful' food photographer and soon to be two-time cookbook author Kelly Peloza, who can now be found blogging exclusively at the amazingly titled Seitan Beats Your Meat.
So Kelly, just what have you been up to this summer?
Working, blogging, and working on/planning projects (including Vegan MoFo)!
Why did you decide to attend Vida Vegan Con II?
I had an amazing time at Vida Vegan Con I!
Looking back, what was the most memorable class?
The body image class was one of the most memorable.
How has your blog changed since the three-day conference?
It no longer exists (sort of)!
I found myself with tons of extra time and inspiration after the conference, so I started a brand new blog with a new focus and image to put my time and energy toward. I now blog at Seitan Beats Your Meat and the archives of my old blog, The Vegan Cookie Connoisseur, exist elsewhere.
How did VVC2013 affect your culinary style and home cooking?
The contents of the swag bag have been going strong! I've just been really into summer foods, fresh fruit and and vegetables. And pesto and bacon for some reason.
Who were you really excited to meet?
New friends! My VVCII roommates were fantastic!
Any nice surprises you'd like to share? Special memories?
I'm really excited for Vegan MoFo (can you tell?), where I'll be doing Mad Men MoFo this year (Note, which she's getting all retro right now!)! Then I have a new cookbook coming out in October called Cheers to Vegan Sweets.
My favorite memories from VVC2013 are the classes, VooDoo doughnuts, karaoke night, and our apartment!
So, have you started reading any new blogs?
Yes, I started reading some fellow attendees' blogs. And the death of Google Reader made me take a look at my feeds and cut out some blogs that I don't read anymore or haven't been updated in years.
What would you like to see more or less of in (vegan) blogging?
It's the best when people have a "thing" or a style that's unique to them and their blog, whether it's their photos, drawings, stories, or a special theme. It makes blogs so genuine and entertaining.
What would you like to see the organizers incorporate into the next VVC?
Keep the breakfast showcases coming!
What other vegan events put together by VVHQ would you like to attend?
I would love to see webinars* put on by speakers to keep the conversations going between conferences, especially since not everyone lives near the same city (or continent).
Lastly, what was your favorite meal in Portland, outside of the conference?
I keep thinking about FlavourSpot.
*Special Note from Vida Vegan Headquarters: Seriously, has she been reading our minds?! Something of the sorts is very much in the works (and then again, what isn't?) because we love the notions of staying in touch and letting folks around the world tune in while keeping their pajamas on. And….now I'm craving maple, preferably in a retro cocktail.
Congrats on the upcoming cookbook, Kelly!
To keep up with Kelly's latest, be sure to catch her on Instagram @kellypeloza and likewise on Twitter.
Our Month of Memories Q & A series at Vida Vegan Headquarters will continue far into the end VeganMoFo and beyond.

Health Dept: EEE Threat Continues
09/25/12 12:30PM By Jane Lindholm, Patti Daniels
| Download MP3
Health Commissioner Harry Chen says spraying in Brandon and Whiting last week was successful in reducing the mosquito populations in those areas.
The state initiated the pesticide spraying after two Vermonters were diagnosed with Eastern Equine Encephalitis. Both men died from the illness, which is spread by infected mosquitoes.
Dr. Chen says "the challenge about Eastern Equine Encephalitis is it's absolutely unpredictable. So it may be here this year and may be gone next year."
Chen says discussions have already started about how to improve mosquito monitoring going forward, discussions about "how we're going to have more timely access to information for me to make those decisions, for the mosquito districts to make those decisions, and then ultimately to get that information out to Vermonters."
Chen would like to see more stable funding for research and prevention of mosquito-borne illnesses in the future and he's reached out to officials in both state and federal government about resources for next year.

I have many satisfied customers from across the UK and Europe.
"Garry has repaired a number of my racing tubs and I am very impressed with the quality of his workmanship. Often tubs puncture well before the tread has worn down so it is well worth getting them repaired as they are not cheap items of kit. I've tried repairing them myself in the past but always end up with wonky tyre casing / a bumpy repaired section or backing tape that comes unstuck. No such problems with Garry's work as these are good as new. I'll definitely be a happy return customer."

Weinberger Divorce & Family Law Group is committed to providing each client the highest level of professional legal service.
Schedule A FREE, Confidential Legal Consultation
We promise to protect your privacy.
Unmarried couples in New Jersey, who have cohabitated, may have certain rights and obligations to one another. While New Jersey law does not protect unmarried cohabitants' rights at the same level as it does married couples, it does offer some protection. A prominent NJ palimony lawyer can discuss all legal options with you and determine if you are entitled to receive New Jersey palimony.
If you are in a long-term relationship and your partner has made a promise, in a written agreement, to care for you for the rest of your life, you may have a viable claim for New Jersey palimony. New Jersey has begun to recognize the increasing number of unmarried cohabitating couples. As such, New Jersey palimony is more widely sought-after and awarded.
In order for someone to be eligible for palimony, a formal contract or agreement needs to have been executed. In order for this agreement to be deemed valid for NJ palimony purposes, each party must have independent counsel. A New Jersey palimony lawyer will need to review and memorialize the support related promises made between the couple. In an NJ palimony case, testimony from both parties may be required for a judge to reach a proper determination regarding your New Jersey palimony matter.
During a traditional New Jersey divorce, alimony is typically paid in weekly or monthly installments. Palimony, on the other hand, is paid in a lump sum amount. While alimony is based upon marital obligations, palimony is a purely contractual promise to provide on-going support upon the conclusion of a relationship.
Whether you are filing for palimony or facing a palimony claim, the New Jersey palimony lawyers at Weinberger Divorce & Family Law Group will help you resolve your NJ palimony matters. While obtaining palimony can be difficult, a seasoned NJ palimony lawyer will be able to review your case to determine if you have a viable claim for New Jersey palimony.


text: Help! My 2008 Silverado windshield wipers won't shut off, even when the truck is turned off. I have to take the fuse out to get them to stop. It was very cold out when I tried to turn them on, and they wouldn't turn on, then out of nowhere they turned on full blast and never shut off. It says in the manual that if there is something lodged in there then they will continuosely stay on... But it's been weeks. Could the motor need replaced?

The Baltimore Ravens and the Cincinnati Bengals were playing for very different reasons on Sunday, January 2nd. Since the Ravens were already in the playoffs, they merely hoped to gain a bit of momentum going into the postseason and bide some time while waiting on the result of the Pittsburgh-Cleveland game. At the bottom of their division, the Bengals were hoping for no more than a positive end to their season. In the end, neither team got exactly what they were after. Betting lines.
Pittsburgh's win over Cincinnati gave them sole possession of the AFC North, which dealt Baltimore a wild card instead of the title and a first round bye. The Ravens 13-7 victory over the Bengals sent Cincinnati off with a disappointing end to a dreadful season.
Although the Ravens did not take first seed, they will still make an appearance in the playoffs. Ending the regular season with a 12-4 record, Baltimore will head into the postseason on a winning streak of four games. Although this was not the team's best show, they certainly gained momentum and confidence with the win. Scores.
Billy Cundiff made two field goals, and Todd Heap contributed three catches for 53 yards in his second game after a three-week absence caused by a right hamstring injury. Ed Reed was good for two critical interceptions before leaving with a rib injury. RB Roy Rice rushed 20 times for 77 yards, and scored for his fifth rushing touchdown and sixth score overall this season. QB Joe Flacco with a mediocre performance of 14 of 19 for only 125 yards. He was also intercepted once, and made no score for the third time this season. The Ravens ended this one victorious, but they will have to do a lot better going into the playoffs. Luckily, this team has done well on the road. Las Vegas odds.
The Bengals fell to 4-12 overall, and showed the nation exactly why they have that record. Carson Plamer failed to secure the ball, and the team as a whole had five TO, missed a 29-yard FG and netted only 90 yards rushing. It was a welcomed end to a horrible season.

Editor's Note: Authors are invited to respond to Correspondence that cites their previously published work. Those responses appear after the related letter. In the case of this letter, Mallinckrodt chose not to respond.
FINANCIAL/NONFINANCIAL DISCLOSURE: None declared.
∗CORRESPONDENCE TO: Mark L. Metersky, MD, FCCP, Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, University of Connecticut School of Medicine, 263 Farmington Ave, Farmington, CT 06030-1321
Copyright 2016, American College of Chest Physicians. All Rights Reserved.
I read with interest the advertisement for "FDA-Approved Acthar" (repository corticotropin injection) for symptomatic sarcoidosis in the October issue of CHEST. Acthar is being marketed by Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals to pulmonologists for the treatment of sarcoidosis. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for this drug was obtained decades ago, when the only requirement for approval was that a drug be proven to be safe. I was surprised to see this advertisement because there is no physiological reason to believe that injectable corticotropin is any safer or more effective than oral corticosteroids. While the advertisement lists all of the precautions and complications that would be expected for corticosteroid therapy, no studies in support of its use are provided, nor could I find any such data from any clinical trials at either PubMed or Clinicaltrials.gov, or at the company's website (https://www.actharpulmonology.com). It is telling that in 2012, before Mallinckrodt began heavily marketing the drug, at least one-half of the most frequent prescribers of Acthar were promotional speakers or had other relationships with Questcor Pharmaceuticals, the manufacturer at the time.
There is one important difference between Acthar and oral corticosteroids, however. The average wholesale price of Acthar is a whopping $28,972.86 for a 5-mL vial, while oral corticosteroids are pennies a pill. Despite the lack of any reliable evidence of benefit of Acthar relative to oral corticosteroids, Mallinckrodt salespeople are currently detailing pulmonologists. Mallinckrodt sold $269 million of Acthar during the third quarter of fiscal year 2015, representing an increase from prior quarters. And sales are expected to increase further.
Because there may be unpublished or difficult-to-discover data regarding corticotropin, I am hoping that Mallinckrodt can direct me and the readers of CHEST to any reliable data that show that injectable corticotropin is more efficacious than oral corticosteroids in treating symptomatic sarcoidosis. If no such efficacy data exist, I see no justification for prescribing Acthar. The United States' increasing medical costs are unsustainable, and this type of sales strategy by Mallinckrodt and other pharmaceutical companies only exacerbates the problem. Indeed, as I type this letter, the Senate is holding hearings on rapid escalations in drug costs.
