Vol Hoops Central: Arkansas
Jan. 31, 2013
TENNESSEE at ARKANSAS
Feb. 2, 2013 | 4 p.m. ET
Bud Walton Arena | Fayetteville, Ark.
- The Vols are looking to extend their current win streak to three games Saturday. But to do so, they must log their first true road win of the season (0-5).
- Prior to his hiring at Tennessee, Cuonzo Martin posted a 1-1 coaching record against Arkansas during his tenure at Missouri State.
- When these teams met last season, Arkansas was without talented big man Marshawn Powell, (knee injury). This season, UT is in a similar situation with decorated forward Jeronne Maymon, who is redshirting due to a knee injury.
- The Vols are coming off back-to-back one-point victories. The last time that happened was during the 1962-63 season (UT defeated Denver 59-58 on Dec. 29, 1962, and Florida State 66-65 on Jan. 2, 1963).
- Tennessee started SEC play 1-4 last season and rallied to finish second in the league at 10-6. The Vols also started SEC play 1-4 this season and have now rallied to win two straight.
- Sophomore power forward Jarnell Stokes has 15 offensive rebounds in the last two games. In SEC play, he is tied for the league lead in rebounding with 9.6 rpg.
- In SEC play, Vols junior Jordan McRae ranks second in the league in scoring (18.9 ppg).
- Junior guard Trae Golden left Tuesday's game vs. Vanderbilt with a strained right hamstring, suffered in the first half.
- Team athletic trainer Chad Newman said Golden is "doubtful" for the Arkansas game.
- Legendary Arkansas football coach and athletic director John Barnhill began his coaching career at Tennessee.
- Barnhill worked as an assistant basketball coach at Tennessee from 1932-35.
- Barnhill was UT's head football coach during World War II, managing the squad during the absence of Gen. Robert Neyland, who left for the War. During this period, Barnhill led the Vols to a record of 32-5-2.
- In 1946, after Neyland's return to Tennessee, Barnhill was hired by Arkansas as both head football coach and athletic director. He gave up the coaching position in 1949 after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. He continued as AD at Arkansas until 1971 and was responsible for hiring legendary head coach Frank Broyles, who ultimately replaced Barnhill as athletic director.
- Arkansas' Barnhill Arena is named for Barnhill, who is a member of both the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame and the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame.

Basically, Newsbusters hates journalism

The following is an actual Newsbusters complaint:
Meredith Vieira to GOP Young Guns: What's So Good About Tax Cuts?
By Geoffrey Dickens (Bio | Archive)
Tue, 09/14/2010 - 11:36 ET
NBC's Meredith Vieira, on Tuesday's Today show, demonstrated just how out of touch she is on the Tea Party and the economy as she questioned GOP House members, "Are you worried about the influence of the Tea Party?" and even doubted the positive effect tax cuts can have on creating jobs as she questioned: "What's so good about them?"
Wow. Meredith Vieira asked her guests why their policy proposals are good! The bias is simply astounding. She should have known that when asking Republicans about tax cuts, the only unbiased question is "Are your tax cut proposals great -- or the greatest?"
And another Newsbusters gem:
Giving Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer an unusual evening newscast platform to plug a book, on Monday's NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams brought viewers back to the Left's ten-year-old grudge, cuing up Breyer to agree: "Do you think Bush v Gore hurt the credibility of the modern court?" Breyer replied with a simple "yes" and Williams suggested: "Irreparably?" "No," Breyer said in rejecting Williams' overwrought premise, so Williams pressed: "For how long?"
Of course, Williams didn't bring up Bush v Gore because he's a member of the "Left" with a ten-year-old grudge; he brought it up because he was interviewing Breyer about a book in which Breyer discussed the case. In any case, Williams' questions -- like Vieira's -- were so straightforward I'm surprised even the relentlessly inane Newsbusters crew would pretend to find them offensive.

Syria has deployed more tanks and troops to the southern city of Daraa in a widening crackdown on six-week-long anti-government demonstrations in which more than 450 people have died, according to rights activists.
An amateur video posted on Al-Jazeera purportedly shows a long convoy of tanks being transported along the highway from the capital Damascus to Daraa, the anti-government stronghold 80 miles to the south.
An activist group, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said today that it has the names of at least 453 civilians killed during almost six weeks of pro-democracy protests.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon has called for an investigation into the violence in Syria and a spokesman for the German government, Steffen Seibert, said today that Berlin strongly favors European Union sanctions against Damascus.
The Associated Press quotes witnesses in Daraa, a city of 300,000 near the border with Jordan, as reporting renewed explosions and gunfire today.
Witnesses and human rights activists also report tanks deployed around the Damascus suburb of Douma and the coastal city of Banias.
Security forces in the coastal city of Latakia are reported by an activist to have fired live bullets and used a stun grenade against demonstrators, the Associated Press says.

Adventure race ends with wedding plans for Americans
By Will Gray
PUNTA ARENAS, Chile (Reuters) - A freezing river swim, a three-day hike through one of the world's most remote mountain ranges and a kayak crossing of the imposing waters of the Beagle Channel: what better way to build up to a marriage proposal?
American couple Jasson Magness and Chelsey Gribbon had raced through a tough, six-day adventure over nearly 600km of southern Chile in the Patagonian Expedition Race.
After their team finished fifth, almost a day behind British second-time winners Helly Hansen-Prunesco, Magness was so moved by the experience he popped the question to Gribbon at the closing ceremony last Friday. Gribbon said yes.
"We went through a lot together on this trek," said Magness. "I realized that if we could make it through the experience we have just had, it meant a lot.
"I was going to ask her at the finish line -- but after six really challenging but really emotional days I thought we were so out of it she might not remember she'd said yes."
The sub-zero temperatures and wild winds that blew across the island of Tierra del Fuego gave the international field of competitors a relentless test of endurance for the eighth annual edition of the race.
The defending champions had their biggest test when they failed to find a rope crossing over a fast-flowing river and had to strip off to swim to the other side.
"We got rapidly swept downstream and there was a real possibility we could have been swept into trees or faster water but we chose the right spot and made it out," said team captain Nicola MacLeod. Continued...

Honeywell Y8150 Whole House Ventilation system
Hello everyone,
I have a new construction home that has a Honeywell Y8150 Whole House Ventilation system installed. My problem is, the way it is adjusted the fan comes on every hour and runs for approximately 40 minutes. If I'm doing my math correctly, the fan is running about 16 hours a day for ventilation purposes. While I love the idea of having fresh air brought into the house, this seems like an excessive amount of time for the fan to be running. I have checked with the builder and the system is supposedly set up correctly. The home is approximately 2800 square feet and is 3 bedrooms. If anyone is familiar with this system, the controller settings are as follows: Bedrooms-3, Square footage-2800, CFM-90. Can anyone tell me if this is proper. Thanks
ventilation requirement
This is a very late response considering your post was in April of last year but...........
Use the following formula to determine maximum flow rate: (7.5 CFM x number of occupants) + (0.01 CFM x sq ft). It is required as per ASHRAE 62.2 2006.
The above is an ASHRAE standard. NOTE: number of occupants is the number of bedrooms in the house plus one (assuming two people in the master bedroom). sq ft is the conditioned (heated) square footage of your house (so, don't count the garage). Also note this equation determines the MAXIMUM flow rate.
So, for your house the equation should be:
(7.5 CFM x 4) + (0.01 x 2800sf) = 58CFM Maximum (rather than 90CFM).
This is based on continuous ventilation.
I just learned there is test button inside the timer that you can press (hold for 2-3 seconds) and if the light blinks red the timer is not set correctly. If it blinks green then the timer is set correctly.
Good luck.
Thanks for the reply ( sorry for the late response, I just checked back...see below) I had the HVAC company wire the fresh air intake to open whenever the fan kicks on but now I'm wondering if this was a good ideas or not. My logic was that if the A/C or heat did not need to run I would frequently have the windows open anyway. Now with the horrible allergies my family has been having I am considering running the HAVC fan 24/7 to filter the house, but am concerned with having outside air brought in the whole time despite using a decent filter (3M 4" media filter from Lowes). I have read online that the cost of running the fan 24/7 is only roughly an additional $60 per year, definitely cheaper than buying separate air purifiers for the whole house. Can anyone confirm that this is roughly the correct cost of running the fan? The unit was installed when my house was built in 2006 and I have no paperwork on it to know how much power it uses. Also I would like to get rid of the new house smell (stench) and am considering using a carbon pad to do this. I know the carpet and paint are off gasing VOC's and am looking for a solution if anyone knows of one.
Post the brand and model number of your furnace.
If it has a PSC blower, then its anywhere from 20 to 50 dollars a month to run the fan 24/7.
If its a VS/ECM blower, then it only have as much to run, if your duct work is sized correctly.
Did your family only develope their allergies since moving into the new home? And did they seem to develope them in the summer?
3M filter from Lowes?, is it a 1" filter.
If so, then its doing more harm to your system then it is good for your family.
The 90CFM was correct for your homes size.
But, a poor choice for your home.
Its a very wasteful way of providing fresh air.
An ERV or HRV would have been a better choice.
On the hottest days, and the coldest days. The Y8150 brings in all that unconditioned air. That you have to pay to either heat or cool.
If your house leaks enough for it to bring in the set amount of air.
An ERV, or HRV, would precondition the fresh air with some of the heat from the exhaust air. So you wouldn't be paying nearly as much to heat or cool all that fresh air.
Thanks for the help beenthere.
My furnace is a Rheem RGPP-10EBRJR. I have contacted Rheem and they have emailed me the manual and spec sheet and it looks like it has a standard continuous motor as opposed to a variable based on the manual saying:
"Integrated Furnace Control. The Brain of the Rheem Quiet 80 is the Integrated Furnace Control (IFC) which directs all activi-ties of the major furnace components. The control features low-speed continuous fan operation and accessory terminals.
As per the spec sheet, the unit uses 9.5A at 115V. I know watts = volts x amps so am I correct that the unit uses 1.1kw? With an electric rate of 12.8 kwh what is the cost of running the unit?
I moved from the east coast to Houston Texas a few years ago and ever since moving my allergies are definitely worse, however this year they are much worse than normal. I have heard this may be thanks to hurricane Ike. Since we really dont have seasons here we seem to have them all year long but just the past few weeks they have gotten much worse.
The filter I am using is a 3M Filtrete 4" Allergen Reduction Filter which has an MPR rating of 1550 and is MERV 12.
The builder claims that since the house is energy star rated and is so tightly sealed that the Honeywell Y8150 Whole House Ventilation system is necessary to bring in fresh air. I wonder how much of this is true and how much is just hype to set them apart from other builders that do not have any form of fresh air intake. I do know that the house has a strong smell from the off gassing as I have mentioned and would assume the fresh air intake would help a bit in that regard, although I know the smell and VOCs are not being absorbed/filtered.
The HVAC installers website says can install a unit in your home referred to as an Open Window Concept. This method takes stale air from the inside of your home, removes odors and moisture, and mixes it with fresh air from outdoors. Before the fresh outdoor air is introduced indoors, its temperature is cooled to match the temperature of the air inside your home. This must be different than my system since mine does not remove odors and moisture and the temperature is not matched as to my knowledge.
Sorry for the lengthy post I hope I have addressed all of your questions. What do you suggest I do at this point? Thanks again!
If your house is as tight as the builder claims.
Then your fresh air intake can't work. Since there would be no way to expelled the stale air.
You may want to check into the ERV/HRV, which is what the contrator is talking about on the web site.
That 4" 3M. Get rid of it. Its too restrictive.
Get an OEM 4" media of same allergen/MERV rating.
You get better air flow.
Most newer furnace control boards can run a PSC blower on a slower speed in fan on mode.
Still uses a lot of electric.
By OEM do you mean the Honeywell FC100Afilter that the installer sells for $95 for a 2 pack as opposed to the $25-3- for the 3M Filtrete?
How can I tell how restrictive a filter will be? I know the Merv is the rating of of how well it filters, but where is there a rating of a filters restrictiveness? Is it hat #m filters in general are restrictive and no good? Problem is I don't know of anywhere locally to buy the Honeywell inexpensively and Lowes s right near me with a reasonable price on the Filterete.
Regarding the frsh air intake, do you recommend I leave it running as it is to allow fresh air whenver the Hvac system kicks on for heat or A/C or should I disconnect it? I see your logic that if the house is that tight the intake would not work, so in reality it may be unnecessary and the house the house may breathe fine. I don't really want to invest more money by installing anything else but out of curiosity what would a ERV/HRV cost approximately?
As far as a carbon filter being added to help with the smell/VOC's do you have any recommendations?
Thanks for the help and info!
The 3M are just restrictive by their design.
Best way to tell is with a manometer, and read the pressure drop across a 3M, and then across a Honeywell.
What you can do, for the moment, without a manometer.
Put the 3M back in, when it runs for heat again. Go to, or find the room with the least air flow.
Then put that blue filter back in. And recheck the air flow to that room.
You should see a big difference i n air flow.
The Honeywell will be 1/2 way between those.
There should be some internet sites, that you can order the Honeywells through.
A Carbon filter will help remove the odors, and you can order them online also.
I wouldn't completely eliminate the intake. But i would cut it back to 60CFM max. And just leave it that it only opens when the heat or cooling is on.
When I first changed my filter there was a Honeywell in there and I never saw a blue filter as you describe.
Are there any other filters other than the Honeywell that you would also recommend. One of the HVAC installers recommended an Air Demon filter from Home Depot and he said it was cheaper than the ~$40 Honeywell. http://www.americanairfilter.com/ind...&id=5&deptID=5
Amazon and Home Depot have the Honeywell CF200A1016 4-Inch Ultra Efficiency Air Cleaner Filter for $30 which is rated at Merv 12. Should I assume the CF200A is better than the FC100A replacements the installer sells since it has a higher MERV rating?
On a side note, It seems like all these filters are designed to last UP to 12 months. The installer recommends replacing at least twice a year. I have checked the filter after 3-6 months and it still roughly the same color so I am having a hard time determining when to replace it.
As far as the carbon filter goes, are you aware of any online dealers of carbon filter pads that sell it by the roll for cheap that I could cut to size? I imagine I could just tape the carbon filter pad to the exhaust side of the 4" media filter? All I have found online so far is http://www.air-purifiers-superstore....lter_pads.html but it's $22 for one filter and I'm not sure how often I would have to change it.
Carbon filters are sold in a metal frame, atleast the ones I get are.
You have to measure the exact size you need.
I get mine through whole sale houses, so I don't know of any internet sites, but have heard from customers that they ordered theirs off the net.
Those cheap filters from Lowes and HD are all very restrictive. Thats why they are cheap. They are made with good air flow in mind.
Their just made to appeal to people by being cheaper.
They cost you far more in electric and gas consumption then they save on upfront cost.
An OEM air filter, may have a PD of .17, while a Lowes or HD may have a PD of .31" or more.
Which lowers your air flow by 20% plus.
And can shorten the life span of your furnace.
How would the carbon filters in a frame work since I can't fit anything other than the media filter in the housing? Would this be a carbon filter that would be used in place of the media filter, or could I use it in the first and second fllor intakes before the air gets to my attic where the media filter is? How often does it need to be changed?
Would the Honeywell CF200A1016 4-Inch Ultra Efficiency Air Cleaner Filter for $30 be considered restrictive? I would imagine since it is made by Honeywell and is a higher model number (CF200A as opposed to the CF100A) hat it is a quality filter?
EDIT: I just noticed that there is a FC200E1037 and a CF200A1016. Kind of confusing, but I'm guessing the CF is a lower quality filter than the FC designed for sale at a cheaper price? It does have a MERV rating of 12, but is this going to be a cheaper, more restrictive filter as well?
One is a MERV 12, the other is a MERV 13.
They have slightly different resistances. But not much.
Forgot your using a media case.
You would need to add a slot for the carbon filter.
I prefer them to be after the media filter. They last longer that way, Since they don't get clogged up with duct and dirt.
OK so if the Honeywell CF200A1016is a quality non restrictive filter in your opinions I'll use that one from now on since it's the same price as the 3M Filtrete.
When you say I would need to add a slot for the carbon filter I assume this means having an HVAC pro come out and actually cut an opening? What's your opinion of just cutting some HVAC carbon filter pad and attaching it to the exhaust side of the filter?
It would probably be pulled off and drawn into the blower.

City preps for spray
Nick Todaro, [email protected]
Ennis will begin spraying airborne pesticide to control mosquitoes Thursday.
City Manager Steve Howerton announced the need for spraying this week a month after city commissioners discussed holding off on the pesticide program until the need arose. Howerton said the Texas Department of State Health Services informed the city of a positive West Nile virus test in a mosquito in town, prompting the spraying plan.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Thanks all above^^ I have decided to hold off until next season and see if I can make due with renting and borrowing until I can get my personal preferences down. Still just as excited though
|I'm similar in size to you at 6'3",205 and I ride a 164, for whatever that's worth. I don't know much about the blunt, but with size 12 boots you will want to pay attention to width. It becomes less of an issue on longer decks since those typically get wider as they get longer, so honestly a 160-164 might be a better range for you.
Hi moranchula,
Stoked that you are getting your SHRED on!
28.5 is the cm size that will be printed on size 10.5 snowboard boots. The notation of "Wide" has no specific standard in snowboarding but size 28.5 cm does not require (or want) a wider than average board.
Looking for advice on a new board
Hopefully this reaches the right people .
I am 19 years old living in the northeast (US) and I am looking to buy the Burton Blunt 2013 model. I am 6'2" 200lbs (188cm and 90kg). I wear a size 12 boot and i have pretty large feet.
I have only been snowboarding about 7 times and so far I have either rented or borrowed equipment from friends. I feel that it is time to buy my own board and start making riding a more frequent thing. I feel very comfortable on a board and I think part of this is because I have been longboarding forever. I have done double blacks as well as terrain parks and I am willing to try anything. I know my limits though so I am just looking for a decent board that allows me to cruise, carve huge slopes, and hit the terrain park every now and then.
Alright this is where I need advice.
Is the Burton Blunt a good board for a beginner that feels more like a pseudo-advanced rider? (not trying to toot my own horn )
I believe my ideal board size would be 157-160. I do like more control so I am thinking the 158 would be the best fit. yes?
Do I need a wide board if my bare foot measures to 28.5 cm?
I know nothing about riding angles. Last time I rented I experienced some discomfort because one foot was at a different angle I believe. Any suggestions on riding angles, or is it a personal preference?
The board shape? I read that the V-rocker on the Blunt is a good shape for beginners because it is very forgiving. I have used a flat and cambered before and I enjoyed riding both.
I guess ultimately I am asking for help finding a solid board for a very adventurous beginner who will be using this board a lot.
Also any tips on bindings and boots much appreciated! I was told it might be best to start off finding boots then bindings then boards, but this Burton Blunt is a great deal at a local shop and I kinda want to jump on it.

Like it says--2011 AWD SE, has had the dealer service when indicated, including rear differential. 22K miles, has just started making a not very loud squeal/rub noise, only when moving, and most prevalent when cold. Tends to go away when I drive longer distances on straight lines. I'm planning on taking it to the dealer, but I'd like some idea from the collective minds here on what it might be.
I'm thinking it's something in the axles/differential/wheels, but I'm obviously not a car expert.

Gomes, a fan favorite at Tropicana Field, has seen his role diminish and suffered through a disappointing campaign in 2008. He batted .182/.283/.383 in 154 at-bats while spending a large chunk of his time at Triple-A Durham. The outfielder/designated hitter burst onto the scene with an excellent rookie performance in 2005, posting a 139 OPS+ with a then-franchise rookie record 21 home runs. He ended up with a .282/.372/.534 line while emerging as one of the most important players on the Tampa Bay roster, though he struck out in 32.5 percent of his plate appearances.
Gomes then hit 20 home runs again in 2006, but saw his line drop significantly. Injuries, ineffectiveness and the emergence of several other outfielders limited his role from that point on. He is a Three True Outcome player who may add value if given enough at-bats, but his defense in the outfield is suspect. With his power, he is likely to be picked up by another team.
Gomes is perhaps best known for his role in two brawl incidents. During spring training, he came running in from right field to tackle Shelley Duncan, who took out second baseman Akinori Iwamura with a dirty slide in a March game against the New York Yankees in St. Petersburg. This set a nice tone for the season, telling the baseball world that the Rays would not back down from anything. He then was at it again in June, when he quickly came to James Shields' defense in the infamous Coco Crisp brawl.
The news about Gomes is disappointing, though hardly a surprise. Due for a raise in arbitration, he was not worth the cost of a contract for the cost-conscious Rays. This will free up some payroll, but Tampa Bay, according to the Tampa Tribune, is willing to bring him back on a minor league deal.
After dealing Edwin Jackson earlier this week, the Rays now have five reaming arbitration-eligible players who are due for raises—Willy Aybar, Grant Balfour, Jason Bartlett, Gabe Gross and Dioner Navarro.
Gross is still expected to see a decent amount of time at right field, though Matt Joyce, the return in the Jackson deal, has a real chance to win the job outright in spring training.
Aybar, Balfour, Bartlett and Navarro should see significant increases in their salaries. Aybar filled in admirably at third base when Evan Longoria went down while providing versatility in the infield and solid offensive production. Bartlett, selected as Rays' Team MVP by the local chapter of the BBWAA, helped anchor the majors' most efficient defense. Navarro, an All-Star, had an excellent first half and played an important role in the success as well.

It started as an experiment: to see if theatre could spark debate among those living on the fringes of society. Two decades later, the UK's only homeless people's professional theatre company is hot property.
One of the UK's leading Hollywood stars backs it. One of Britain's best young poets writes for it, and its shows are being performed at some of the hottest theatres in the capital. Cardboard Citizens, a theatre company made up of actors who are or have been homeless, largely tours hostels, day centres and prisons. Next month, its new show, written by poet and playwright Kate Tempest, will also be performed at public theatres, including the Roundhouse in north London, where around 30 per cent of the audience will have experienced homelessness. Tickets, for them, will cost £1.
Kate Winslet, an ambassador for the organisation, will hold a gala for the theatre company later this year wearing a dress designed by Stella McCartney. She told the IoS she was struck by the "unique nature of what the company does", immediately understanding "how theatre can be a way of helping those affected, and even those unaffected, by homelessness".
"As an actor, you often wonder what impact your performance has on the audience," she said. "[The first time I saw one of their shows], I saw very clearly how theatre can engage people and provoke them to reflect on their lives, present and future."
Adrian Jackson, founder, artistic director and chief executive of Cardboard Citizens, said his company was experiencing more demand than ever before: "When we started, it was considered very odd. Now there are all sorts of artists who engage directly in debate with their audiences. "People now realise this is not just a frivolity, it's not a pointless luxury distracting from the main issue. It's a place where people can explore and find themselves when they're lost."
Cardboard Citizens will be touring their new production, Glasshouse, to more than 40 spaces in the next few weeks and will reach more than 1,000 homeless people. The play, which focuses on three members of the same family in a dark and gritty London, will use interactive techniques known as forum theatre to invite the audience to engage in the story and change its outcome through the performance of alternative scenarios. The first half of the play poses a question, which the audience answers in the second.
Tempest, whose debut play, Wasted, was lauded as "electrifying" by critics, said she got involved with the theatre company because she liked the idea of "going into places where people are generally not cared about by the arts". She added: "So much of theatre and the arts are driven by egos. But Cardboard Citizens is for something. Some kid living in a shelter isn't going to shell out £30 for a theatre ticket. But they should see theatre; they could be the best actor in the world."
And it is usually members of the audience, or those who attend the theatre company's workshops, who eventually become its actors. Last year, the charity reached 1,800 people, with almost 500 of those attending a workshop. More than 140 accessed advice from Cardboard Citizens' support workers. Over 70 achieved a qualification and 60 entered education, employment or training. The company reached more than 6,000 audience members in total.
Jo Allitt, a 42-year-old from London, is starring in the theatre's new show. Before she first attended a workshop in 2009 at Crisis she had been living in a hostel for about a year; she acted in her first tour when she was still homeless. Ms Allitt said her involvement with Cardboard Citizens helped get her nominated for housing, because it proved she was able to cope with commitment and structure. As a performer, she was paid rates approved by the actors' union Equity.
"[The theatre] gave me paid work, advice and guidance. We're treated as professional actors, but I was also supported in coming off benefits and working out my next steps. We're known as actor-mentors because, as well as performing the piece, we talk to people from the hostels; tell them about workshops we run, let them know we've been, or are still, in their shoes. We connect, and encourage them; it's life-changing."
While the theatre company's popularity is booming, the issue that Cardboard Citizens seeks to address shows scant sign of improvement: the number of rough sleepers in England increased by around 23 per cent from 2011 to 2012, a "more dramatic growth dynamic than anything seen since the 1990s", according to one recent report. "Their stories need telling more than ever right now," Adrian Jackson said. "There is a danger we're going to forget about a whole [lot of] people, who have moved out of cities and our lives. Some of us have a responsibility to ensure those stories continue to be told to a wider audience."
'Cardboard Citizens provoke incredibly lively debate in audiences'
"My journey with Cardboard Citizens started over five years ago, when they approached me about becoming an ambassador. I was struck by the unique nature of what the company does and could immediately understand how theatre can be a way of helping those affected, and even those not affected, by homelessness.
"My first experience of Cardboard Citizens in action was on a visit to Holloway Prison. The company presented three short plays, and the actors all had personal experience of homelessness. The women in the audience immediately identified with the story and the characters, and an incredibly lively debate ensued. The inmates got involved, vigorously discussing the options open to the characters in the play, how they might make other choices and have a better chance of success.
"As an actor, you often wonder what impact your performance has on the audience. That evening, I saw very clearly how theatre can engage people and provoke them to reflect on their lives, present and future.
"After our Holloway trip, we plotted how I might be able to help the company to achieve its mission. Out of this came two fundraising dinners that I attended, which raised over £200,000, enabling Cardboard Citizens to move to a new home that houses all of the company's work under one roof. A highlight for me at the last dinner was sharing the stage with the members of Cardboard Citizens in a short scene written for the event.
"My last visit to Cardboard Citizens was just a few months ago, days before they moved into their new space, so I really got a sense of the company moving forward and I feel proud of my contribution. That day, I also attended their youth theatre project, and met a few of the young people involved. I was really impressed by the warm sense of community among the group.
"Right now, I'm working with them on our third fundraising dinner, and really hoping that this one will be the best yet. I am excited about Cardboard Citizens' future and want to make sure they are around for years to come."

NY State Budget Deal Expected Friday
Legislative leaders said a final state budget deal could happen Friday. They need a deal by midday in order to deliver an on-time budget when the fiscal year ends on Monday.
Jeff Klein, Senate co-leader and leader of the Independent Democrats said they were close to an agreement but are still hashing out a few issues.
"It's really everything. It's the property tax and rent relief. It's universal pre-k. It's the charter school issues," Klein said.
Senator Klein and the senate GOP leader have rejected a proposal that would've linked the Dream Act, which would offer tuition aid immigrants in the country illegally with an education tax credit sought by the Catholic Church and charter schools.
And one day after it was revealed the FBI is looking into some of the dealings of two lawmakers, Senator Klein says an ethics reform package is being hashed out. He did not offer details.

Old low voltage lighting system - switches stopped working.
I've lived in my grandparents' old home for over 10 years now and came upon a problem last week with the lighting system. My grandfather was an electrician and when he built the home in the late 60's, he installed a low voltage lighting system (I believe a GE system) for several of the rooms. Last week every switch on the system stopped working and I could not turn the lights off in those rooms. This system has a relay at every fixture as far as I can tell and rocker switches on the walls. I'm guessing that the transformer went bad, but I've been reading a few posts that suggest stuck light switches can sometimes be the culprit. I don't know if this applies to my system, however, and wondered if anyone had any suggestions. I know this system is extremely dated and few people work with them, but any help would be appreciated.
For the transfomer do NOT use standard 16 volt doorbell transfomer the voltage is too low to activie it so you use the 24 volt transfomer ( 40 VA is most common size ) some case you may have two transfomers in there so just give you a head up with it.
The most common relay is GE RR7 or RR5 depending on the switch conferation is.
I will post the photo what it look like real quick so you will know what to look for.
The low voltage conductor will useally be outside of the junction box while the line voltage conductors will be inside the junction box. ( this will be little tricky to do the troubleshooting when you do the Line voltage side so make sure the circuit you work on is off first )
Hope that should help you with this one.
Thanks for the quick reply Marc! My father and I worked on the system a little today and have located the transformer. It is in the attic. He had a spare transformer he had ordered several years back, since his house uses a similar low voltage system as well (my grandfather installed both systems). The transformer he has, however, looks slightly different than the one in the attic, but we think it will work. We just want to make sure the wiring is correct. The old transformer has a large black wire and white wire spliced into the main power source and two screws on top of the transformer with 3 black and green wires going to one screw and 2 white wires going to the other screw.
The new transformer is similar and looks like the one in the link below.
Also, I started thinking about changes we have made to the system over the years. Last year, I installed a ceiling fan in place of chandelier lights that were originally on the system and wondered if that could also have any effect on anything. I still used the same relay and rocker switch for it though.
Similar Issue
This morning, I tried to turn on my daughter's light and it would not come on. We also have the relays from the 50's 60's or 70's. If I held the rocker switch on, it would flicker but would not turn on. After playing with this for quite some time, I finally got the light to come on. Now that it is off, I can not get it to come on again. It does flash but will not turn on. There are two switches in the room and neither will turn on the light. It is the only light in the house that is malfunctioning. Any suggestions? Thanks.
The flicking light useally tell the relay concats are going bad so that is one of the most common cuprit.
You will have to find where the low voltage relays are located but typically useally in attic or basement and some case in garage as well ( only if attached garage.)
Check the power at the relay ( you will have to find which one is used for that room ) and see if you can bypass if the luminaire do come on full brightenss without flickering then the relay is bad.
Also the other common cuprit is worn out low voltage switch ( you will have to pay attetion to the connections on this one and type of low voltage switch by either mantained concant or mometeary concants < Most common is mometary verison >
So replace the relay then switch to see if that clear up.
A New issue with the GE relay
The other day we had all of the switches stop working. If the lights are on they won't go off and if they are off they will not go on. There is 28 volts coming out of the transformer. It goes to some sort of resistor and then to one large relay, which appears to be a RR4, now replaced with RR9. We have replaced the relay and still no good. I would not be led to believe that all relays burned out at once. While exchanging the RR9, a light that was previously off is now on but will not go back off. Any ideas what would cause all of the switches to stop working either in the on or off positions? Thanks.
4-5 years ago, my wife sold a home to friends, who had several lights go out, and called me. It was a low voltage (switches) system.
I had never seen one before.
What is/was the benefit to a low voltage switching system.??????
( I subsequently figured it out, don't remember the make, but found the relays that had failed, and replaced them. It was very nicely/expertly run.
As I recall, those relays were $35-40. Just noticed this OP's transformer was $150. I don't understand the advantage of this type system???)
All relays went out
I do not believe that all of the relays went out at once. It seems that there must be one central location. Because every light in the house/garage that go through the relays no longer work, once again, if they are on, they will not go off and if they are off they will not go on. This does not seem like all the relays, and there are a lot of them, burned out at exactly the same time. thanks.
12 Attachment(s)
If a button sticks, it will cause havoc on the entire system.
I am having a different problem with my low voltage switching. I went to turn on a light switch (actually 2 at the same time) and all my lights went off. I then went and checked my circuit panel and a breaker was tripped labeled "relays." I tried to reset the breaker, but it will not reset. Any idea what could be causing my circuit to my relays to be shorting??? I only have one relay box and it is pretty neat inside. I have an electrician coming over later, but he doesn't seem to know too much about low voltage systems. Thanks so much!!!
Best to start your own thread, this one is 3 yrs old.
Diagram, photo, anything?
Hey Guys - Do you think there're any diagrams available covering this stuff? If so, where would one find them? We just moved into a home in MD. that was built in the '50's. I went in the attic, ... I've never seen such a mess of wires, relays, ... HOLY SMOKES !!!!! Any idea on how to identify model or what ever? I "think" this is GE stuff. Emphasis on "think".

Lodhi Garden, located close to India Habitat Centre, Lodhi Road is a vast green park in North Delhi. Spread over 90 acres, Lodhi Gaden houses several tombs of Lodhi empire, inside Gumbad, (Gumbaz or small buildings built around the tomb, reminds me of Gol Gumbaz in Bijapur) most of them were built during 15th Century.
I had a free time of couple of hours and I ventured into Lodhi Garden.First thing I noticed was the presence of numerous squirrels and mynas moving freely all around. This immediately reminded me of Agra Fort where I'd seen similar population of squirrels.
The first major building I saw on entrance was this…Bara Gumbad (probably meant Bada Gumbaz or Big Dome). There was nothing inside. Each corner was occupied by one couple, who were little worried if I might take their photographs. I had to be conscious not to get them into the frame or give them a feeling of it. The buildings were visibly deteriorated, damages clearly visible all around. But then, they've survived 6 centuries and will survive many more. As I moved ahead I realized that this is just one among many such buildings in the garden. The one immediately behind this is called Sheesh Gumbad. A stranger, who identified himself as South African, asked me about the history of these buildings, which I was clueless about. I advised him to refer to the stones(images below) which had details inscribed in them.
Sheesh Gumbad had some designer glasses in its exterior design. However the inside had a series of tombs, with a dog comfortably sleeping on one of them (look at the right most one) Only one corner of this tomb was not occupied by any love-birds, hence I took liberty of taking a photograph.
As I walked across, saw a big group of birds-lots of pigeons, parrots and squirrels feasting on grains. Of the two parakeets I saw, the one had a dark ring across the neck while the other didn't. Not sure of the difference-male and female may be.(any idea?)
I walked further, spotted a mini fort like structure. This thing houses Sikandar Lodhi's tomb, surrounded by a garden. The garden was all dug up, understandably under renovation ahead of commonwealth games. The workers were spotted taking a powerful afternoon nap.
Walking across the walkway takes you to the other exit. Next to Sikandar Lodhi's garden lies a water body, which is believed to connect to river Yamuna. It also houses a small bridge, called Athpula (8 pillared) which is build on 8 pillars and showcases 7 arches, center one being biggest. The water body is not well maintained and houses dirty stagnant water. Spotted a few birds swimming in the same. A Cormorant just came out of its swim and stood still with its wing spread out, drying itself in the sun.
There was still a lot to see and might have spotted few more birds if I had the time and patience, but had to rush back to IHC for work. Do leave your comments.

New kitchen floor going in, deciding on a backboard/underlay for ceramic tile
Hello everyone,
i've got an old house ( built 1922) Kitchen was in need of a remake so we have gutted it down to the bare plaster walls and pulled up the old tile.
(ceramic tile on top of ceramic tile on top of lanolium tile on top of thin plywood on top of the plank hardwood subfloor )
Luckily, the floor is pretty level, only a slight raise in the middle of the floor ( gradual change of about 1/2 " ) so not too hard to work out.
Now we have pulled it all up.. and need to prepare for new tile to go in.
the question I have is what backing board/underlay is appropriate here? Some of the guys I've talked to have said cement backerboard, others 1/2" plywood with a waterproof sealant...
I would appreciate any advice or suggestions. Budget/price is as always something we want to be mindful of but primary focus is doing it right and to last.
Are you leaving the plank or removing it?
[quote=Tech Dawg;870276]Are you leaving the plank or removing it?
Leaving it.
It is in good condition and does not wobble or have gaps.
If floor height is not a restriction, I would screw down, 3/4" BC plywood and top that off with something like Ditra or Noble Seal TS (membrane)
uncoupling membrane
I've found this, that seems to apply to my needs:
a decent illustration.. and from what you have said it seems that is the best option.
Now the question I have is, Why not use the decoupling right on top of the plant subfloor? , is it for stability? preventing movement? leveling? a bit of all of these? ( or ease of removal afterwards? )
tiling on top of plywood without the use of decoupling would be bad?
I suspect it adds stability to prevent cracking and ensures a firm hold...
Your basically adding a subfloor. CBU or membranes are a no-no for applying right to a plank floor. If your tiling over plywood then you'd need 2 layers. The first is screwed through the planks to the joists. The second is screwed to the ply(not in joists) and the top seams have to have a gap to be siliconed.
Tile over ply is tricky and not done very often anymore and CBU doesn't add any structural support, just height and weight.
I've found an alternate to the DITRA called Protegga it is nearly 1/2 the price but visually the same.
spent the last hour searching for reviews and examples and called a few places that sell both. Seems to be a good alternate for a budget.
Any input on that?
Ditra it is! , Mortar question?
Ok taking your advice and advice of the tile place we purchased our tile from... we have done the following:
Put a 1/2 in plywood down on top of our subfloor.
Purchased DITRA to cover the floor.
The tile place supplied us with the Tile, The DITRA and the Thin-Set mortar.
The mortar they advised us to purchase for use in both under and on top of the DITRA is : Kiesel CervoFlex-Trio-Supertec Thin-set.
Is this the right stuff? a second opinion is always good before going into action.
answering my own question..
Decided to call the manufacturer of Kiesel CervoFlex ( In Germany ) They said while the TRIO SERVOFLEX GREY THINSET is a modified thinset , it uses glass elements instead of plastic to ensure a firm bond to the top of the DITRA similar to that of unmodified thinset but with the added benefit of being able to support larger tiles and slabs (like my 18x18 tile) without the sagging.
So , while DITRA site says "Modified Thin-set " for bonding DITRA to the plywood... and UNMODIFIED Thin-set for bonding the Tile to the DITRA surface... This particular mortar ( TRIO SERVOFLEX GREY THINSET ) Is ideal for both as it does NOT use plastic compounds that might not adhere to the DITRA.

April 3, 2014
Sophomore pitcher Evan Hill had one of his best outings of the season in Saturday's 4-2 win over Iowa. The Mt. Pleasant, Mich., native allowed just two hits with a pair of strikeouts in 5.2 scoreless innings. Hill Hill lowered his season earned-run average to 4.24 and now has 27 strikeouts in 40.1 innings. He will get the ball this Saturday (April 5) when the Maize and Blue faces Minnesota at 2 p.m. at the Wilpon Complex, home of Ray Fisher Stadium. We asked Hill about the differences from his freshman to sophomore seasons, what he worked on coming into 2014 and the strong support he gets from his family.
Q: You pitched at home for the first time this past Saturday. How did it feel to be back on the mound at Fisher Stadium?
A: It felt really good. I was comfortable on the mound, and I tweeted later that it was nice to have home fans and support because it always helps having people behind you cheering for you. It's just a comfortable feel after we've been on the road for 24 or 25 straight games.
Q: What were the big things you worked on coming into this season?
A: I would say consistency. I just want to be consistent this year, I want to throw more strikes and walk less guys. Also develop a better breaking ball. My breaking ball was pretty irrelevant last year. I think I've done both of those things, and I think it's time to put both of those together. And hopefully I can start progressing and making better starts.
Q: What's been the big differences from coming in as a freshman to now knowing the coaching staff and what goes in to being a baseball player at a Division I level?
A: It makes everything much easier. You're just more comfortable with the program, and I think being a freshman is harder, trying to grasp the whole college experience and learning time management. And with the season and the schoolwork, you get really swamped, but once you're a veteran you start to understand how to control all those things and how to not let outside things bother baseball, and not let baseball bother school. And just keep those separate.
Q: Your parents have traveled and been at most of your games in your career. How has that support helped you?
A: It's phenomenal. Having my family at all the games is one of the most important things to me because without a good support group and people who are there caring for you, I never would be where I am today. My brother comes to all the home games now because he goes to school here, so that's just really nice to see him in the stands.

Inslee signing bill to designate Palouse Falls state waterfall
SEATTLE (AP) -- Gov. Jay Inslee is signing a bill that designates the official Washington state waterfall.
Inslee traveled to Palouse Falls in southeastern Washington to sign the bill Tuesday. The measure passed through the House and Senate after the idea was suggested by elementary students in the nearby Washtucna School District.
Palouse Falls is located within Palouse Falls State Park about 69 miles northeast of Pasco. The falls drop about 200 feet from an upper to lower falls in a 377-foot canyon.
The falls and canyon were created by ice age floods from Lake Missoula that swept across eastern Washington 15,000 years ago, according to information from the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission. The falls were eventually named Palouse Falls to commemorate the Palouse Native American culture.
