Llanfihangel Genau'r-Glyn
[From Samuel Lewis's A Topographical Dictionary of Wales 1833]

The Benjamin Indexes
These are held at Ceredigion Archives who are prepared to carry out a reasonable search, they are transcripts (& indexes) of the census for Aberystwyth and North Cardiganshire, prepared by the late Mr.Benjamin, and deposited at various locations including that office. They are very good transcripts, and represent a massive amount of work - inevitably there are a few small mistakes, but they are generally useful and accurate. They cover the period 1841-1881 and include the parishes of Llanbadarn Fawr, Llanfihangel y Creuddyn, Llanfihangel Geneu'r-glyn, Llancynfelyn, (bits of ) Llanbadarn y Creuddyn, Lanychaearn, Llanafan and others.
Also, the 1891 census for Aberystwyth only has been transcribed by William Howells, the County Librarian, and is also available at Ceredigion Archives .

Clwyd and Gwynedd Family History Societies, and Montgomeryshire Genealogical Society are collaborating with the local Registration Services to make the indexes to these records freely searchable via the Internet. Although the indexes are not yet complete for all years and districts, it is hoped that the database will eventually cover all North Wales births, marriages and deaths for the years 1837 to 1950.
The database includes Machynlleth Registration District: Civil marriages 1838 to 1918 (3490 marriages) and this RD includes the following parishes; Machynlleth, Penegoes, Llanfihangel Genau'r Glyn (part), Tywyn, Llanwrin, Cemmaes, Darowen, Llanbrynmair

Okay December 11th I am getting a Brazilian butt lift instead, so my surgery is a couple days away and I am excited and nervous but very anxious. I will keep you ladies posted as I go!
2 Days post op
Well im 2 days post o and I feel great, it was so worth it surgery was smooth and so was the trip home, I have very little pain and bruising, the swelling is not and MY BOOTY IS HUGE.... I love it when I went into surgery I weighed 111 and the doctors were surprised how much fat was taken out, they approximately retrieved 1800cc and injected 810cc of fat into each buttock. I did not get lipo on my thighs just full abdomen, waist, and back. My waist is tiny and hips and butt are big. first day I hade some lumps on my stomach from lipo but it is stated to reside. I will put pix but they will not be me as I do not believe of putting my image on the internet, but very close to my before and after. I am very happy with my result lets just hope after swelling It stays the same. I will keep you ladies updated, chow!

Which Comes First: Content Marketing Or Thought Leadership?
Posted by Laura Ramos on February 25, 2013
- 541 Recommendations
- 10 comments
Once upon a time, there was a little marketer with a big problem. Her sales executives said, "We need more leads." So she bought a big new shiny marketing automation engine . . . .
Stop me if you've heard this one before, but I'm sure we all know the end of the story. The marketing engine didn't live up to expectations because data and content didn't come in the box.
More than ever, marketers view content as the fuel needed to run a powerful revenue generation machine. But the debate over the quality of the content created seems to have reached a fevered pitch. Look no further than posts from SAP's Michael Brenner, Marketo's Jon Miller, UK-based Velocity (the slide show here is a riot!), Dr. Liz Alexander, and SHIFT Communication's Christopher Penn to see the backlash against bad content marketing practices grow.
Why now? I see four key trends converging on business-to-business marketers that drive interest in, and failure with, content marketing:
- Increased buyer sophistication. Gone are the days when sales can show up at the client's door, share a brochure, run through a demo, and start contract negotiations. In this new age of the customer, buyers go online to research and problem-solve and rely on peer networks (traditional and social) to help them out. They have become adept at avoiding marketing messages and more discerning about what they read, watch, and visit.
- Underperforming marketing mix. Marketing execs struggle to make sense of a stunning array of digital marketing tactics, few of which seem to stand out from the crowd. But don't blame the tactics — most email, social, mobile, etc., campaigns suffer from irrelevant, uninteresting content used to lure buyers to open, click, or engage.
- Rise of marketing automation. Sales demands more pipeline help and the chief financial officer wants proof marketing programs work. Automation gives marketers a start at solving both problems, but not all the answers.
- Media fragmentation. Cheap, easy publishing technology pushes many traditional business publications into obscurity as these tools let everyone become an overnight journalist, including many marketing departments. Too bad that journalistic acumen and audience understanding doesn't come along with the software.
These four factors combine to release a flood of company-backed content onto unsuspecting buyers. Marketing leadership looks at the tsunami streaming out corporate doors and says, "We need to make this better."
Enter thought leadership. (Saving content curation as another topic for a later date.)
But here's the problem. There is an awful lot of tired old white papers and trumped up case studies masquerading as thought leadership. It's time for CMOs to get real about content marketing priorities and whether thought leadership should be one of them.
Getting real means understanding that very few ideas or points of view you put out will get picked up by the market and your buyer communities to take on a life of their own. It means deciding if your content publication efforts exist to generate demand, build or change your brand, get your voice heard above the din, or create a provocative unexpected perspective that runs contrary to common practice. The last is the hardest to do.
I'm planning to explore what it takes to produce a persistent thought leadership platform (subscription required) in upcoming research. The key question is: Can CMOs manufacture thought leadership, or is it only earned through the consistent, dedicated pursuit of good editorial publishing that is educational, interesting, and (even) entertaining?
Please feel free to comment here or drop me a note to let me know what you think.

Thanks MaryJo -- always good to talk with Marketo, and Jon Miller specifically, on this topic. @JColman slides are derivative of the Velocity work, so I appreciate the pointer here. I think the theme is loud and clear -- too much stuff and not enough of the "good" stuff. Thanks for commenting.
Laura, Thought provoking post
Comment from Scott Ellis (not verified) on Mon, 02/25/2013 - 20:28
Thought provoking post that will undoubtedly open up a lot of good discussion. I'd argue that the most effective approach is for thought leadership and content marketing to go hand in hand.
My opinion is that companies will reap the benefit of content marketing by taking a long term approach rather than one which cranks out content purely for the sake of filling the lead generation end of the funnel. Getting the CFO to buy off on the longer term approach my be difficult when they're looking to measure the results sooner than later but it will lend itself better to creating a thought leadership position at the same time.
I'll look forward to following your exploration of the topic.
Thanks Scott -- I agree with

Thanks Scott -- I agree with your perspective that the two must go together. I also think you can't force TL, even when the CFO is breathing down your neck. Unfortunately, TL may be one of those places where heads of marketing may try to hire it out to an external agency. Not that there isn't a place for outside help in the process, but good TL isn't something you can rent by the month.
Laura, Agreed on TL. I'd go
Comment from Scott Ellis (not verified) on Mon, 02/25/2013 - 21:29
Laura, Agreed on TL. I'd go so far to say that if someone is purely outsourcing TL they probably don't "get it" to begin with.
What really cuts it as thought leadership?
Comment from Cara Posey (not verified) on Mon, 02/25/2013 - 21:55
Laura, one of the elements that really resonated with me is your mention of old content, recycled white papers, etc. I used to be involved quite heavily in inbound marketing, and it can be tempting to throw up any old content with a spiffy new description in the hopes that someone will download it and you can capture the lead.
This process began to lack sense to me, as so few people were connecting truly valuable content to the offers they put before their customers. My personal goal is to help people connect their content marketing and inbound marketing strategies with their thought leadership initiatives. Lets create valuable content that advances our industries.
If our overall goal with thought leadership is to increase our brand awareness and authority with our industry, we as companies will reap the most benefit by defining what makes us different. My contention is that it's not our products, but our people and our perspectives that separate us from the competition.
I will be curious to learn more about your views on how companies can be true thought leaders and create integrated initiatives that include everything from speaking to white papers and blog posts. Look forward to reading more from you!
Well said, Cara. Thank you
Comment from Laura Ramos on Mon, 02/25/2013 - 23:18
Well said, Cara. Thank you for the thoughtful commentary. As digital specifically and technology in general continue to advance at staggeringly rapid rates, it becomes so easy to replicate products and features. As you say, what differentiates companies is how they solve problems for their customers - and it takes people and experience to do that, not just the product "stuff." Thanks for the insight and for helping to shape up the upcoming report.
Laura a couple of comments.
Comment from Craig Badings (not verified) on Tue, 03/05/2013 - 17:41
Laura a couple of comments. You are only perceived as a thought leader if the market sees you as such. Self labelling is merely a pretence.
I haven't seen the label bestowed on many people who merely curate content. But I also don't believe you have to persistently produce content to be a thought leader either. The key to thought leadership, based on years of working, writing and research on the topic, is producing content that is new, insightful and that addresses issues or challenges your clients'/targets face. If your market cannot gain those insights anywhere else and they help a business process, solve an issue or make them see and go about things differently, you will rapidly be elevated to the status of expert or thought leader.
And with that comes the all important trust followed by engagement with you and then the sale. Simple in theory but it requires a disciplined process, needs to be tied to the business objectives of the organisation and requires a long-term commitment as well as resources to work.
You mention my co-author Dr Liz Alexander in your article - we outline this very clearly in our new book on thought leadership.
Thanks Craig
Comment from Laura Ramos on Tue, 03/05/2013 - 18:06
Looking forward to reading more in your new book. I interviewed Liz for this report and very much appreciated her insights. Thanks for sharing yours here.
Hi Laura! It's been ages
Comment from Val-Pierre Genton (not verified) on Tue, 03/19/2013 - 11:01
Hi Laura!
It's been ages since we last connected (I was chairing the B2B Council at the IAB at the time)! I've since moved to beautiful San Francisco after selling e-Symposium to BrightTALK in 2005.
I'd love to share some metrics we have across the 100M minutes of thought leadership viewed on BrightTALK since 2010. I'm also happy to share the ROI impact of clients who have successfully produced a persistent thought leadership platform. Lots of useful data for you.

Working with Collections - Day 2 - Part 6
Download this episode
You will often need to work with groups of instances of classes and this video explains how to use one collection—the List<T>—to keep references to multiple instances of a given class. Bob demonstrates how to add instances of objects to a collection and how to iterate through each instance inside the collection using the "for each" statement, a variation on the "for iteration" statement we learned about on Day 1.

The Discussion
So would you say a List is similar to an array? Looks pretty similar, and I like the foreach loop.
Cheers Bob
Arrays do exist in C#, but I like Lists much better. With lists, you don't have to define a maximum size, and are generally much easier to work with.
@Mintydog: Lists allow you to do a bit more complex operations like inserting, removing, ...

The young wife of one of Mexico's drug cartel leaders came to the US to deliver her twins at a Los Angeles facility.
Emma Coronel, the wife of Sinaloa cartel leader Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, gave birth to twins at the Antelope Valley Hospital in Lancaster last August 15. While LA County birth certificates of the twins show their mother's name, the space for their father's name was left "blank."
Her husband might be considered a fugitive but Coronel, who is just 22 years old, can travel freely in the United States as she is a US citizen; she was born with an American mother in California, and now her twins are also entitled to US citizenships.
The U.S federal agents have long kept an eye on Coronel even before she gave birth in Los Angeles. Up until she left the country after giving birth to return to Mexico, officials were not able to arrest her as there were no specific charges filed against her, despite the fact that she could have easily provided information as to the location of her wanted husband.
Coronel's presence in Southern California and in Los Angeles where she gave birth did not attract too much attention. The Antelope Valley Hospital also declined to give any statement, as they could be held liable if they dishonor their code of privacy.
The twin girls were delivered last August 15 at the Lancaster hospital; the first girl came out at 3:50 pm followed by the second girl at 3:51 pm.
In the U.S., $5 million has been set as bounty for the head of Guzman. Intelligence reports have alleged that his cartel is now responsible for most of the cocaine and marijuana being trafficked from Mexico and Colombia into the United States.

Local Carbon Monoxide Leak: The Story Behind the Headline
On Thursday, November 8, 2012, KCBS News' Holly Quan reported on the evacuation of a Burlingame hotel due to a carbon monoxide leak. The news report offers details of the scene and actions of the first responders. But who notified the first responders? That's the Mills-Peninsula part of this story.
A patient was brought to the Mills-Peninsula Emergency Department from the Embassy Suites Hotel, where he had checked in after arriving at the San Francisco Airport. In the ER, the patient was unresponsive and showed symptoms of a possible stroke or aneurysm. (The identity of the patient is private and protected by HIPAA.)
The ER team ordered a diagnostic CT scan of the patient which was sent to Greg Lim, M.D., chair of radiology at Mills-Peninsula.
"I was working that night and read the scans for the patient," Dr. Lim explains. "A specific area of the brain was abnormal – it was symmetrically shaped, which is not consistent with stroke or aneurysm. I'd only ever seen a teaching case of carbon monoxide poisoning but the scan looked exactly as I remembered it from the lecture. I went out on a limb and diagnosed it as carbon monoxide poisoning, which was confirmed by my ER colleagues."
It was Karin Molander, M.D., the Mills-Peninsula ER physician on this case, and AMR paramedic Lon Adams who alerted the Fire Department to the carbon monoxide risk.
"I felt like I was in an episode of the TV show 'House,'" said Dr. Molander. "It took the combined minds of many people to figure out this uncommon case and act for the patient and the community."
The Fire Department ordered the immediate evacuation of about 500 guests at the Embassy Suites Hotel then discovered the carbon monoxide leak was coming from a defective boiler. According to the Fire Department, the building was ventilated and guests were let back in the hotel around dawn.
The out-of-the-box thinking and quick reaction by radiology and ER doctors protected the lives of the 500 guests and employees at the hotel.
"As radiologists, often times we do our work in quiet dark rooms and people don't recognize the big impact we have on public safety and patient care," said Dr. Lim.
Mills-Peninsula serves as the major receiving hospital for most emergencies on the Peninsula and is the official destination for emergencies at the San Francisco International Airport. On an average day, this award-winning Emergency Department team treats more than 115 patients, administering critical care for stroke, heart attack, car accidents, sports injuries, poisoning – or any medical or psychiatric emergency.
"I'm very happy that more people weren't hurt," Dr. Lim said. "I grew up in this area and went to San Mateo High School. I moved back from Southern California because I wanted to take care of my family, friends and neighbors."
Patient-Centered Care: New Hospital Built to Focus on Patient & Family Experience
High-Tech and Environment Support Healing
Mills-Peninsula Health Services designed and built the new hospital to be a healing environment, always focused on patients and their families. Several medical advancements enhance the efficiency of this hospital that opened on May 15, 2011.
"We're not looking at just the clinical side of healing, but also the emotional side," said Zani Weber, vice president of the patient experience. "It's a more holistic way of caring for people."
All Private Rooms
The new rooms were purposefully designed to provide a familiar, peaceful environment where people can feel safe, calm and comfortable, which promotes healing, Weber said. All 241 beds are in private rooms, each with natural light from a window that faces outside the hospital or to an inner courtyard garden.
"It's airy, quiet and restful," she said. "Patients aren't sharing a room with a stranger at a time that is already very stressful for them and their family."
Nursing staff also has the ability to provide highly individualized care in private rooms. Patients can choose when they want showers and meals. Food is selected from a menu, cooked to order and served hot to the bedside on request. Patient-only designated elevators ensure additional privacy.
There are also four healing gardens where sunshine and greenery are accessible without ever leaving the hospital.
No More Visiting Hours
Private rooms make it possible to remove restrictions on visiting.
"Patients can have their family with them whenever they want, regardless of the acuity of their illness, even in the Intensive Care Unit," Weber said.
A family member can also spend the night with their loved one; "family" is defined by the patient, which for some may be a close friend. Each room is equipped with a sleeper bed or chair to accommodate an overnight guest. Every unit also has a family lounge and kitchen which visitors can share.
Life in the Emergency Department
New ER Designed, Prepared to See 50k Patients Annually
On an ordinary morning in Mills-Peninsula Medical Center's Emergency Department, Michael Bresler, M.D., and Robert Argand, M.D., prepare for their shift during a moment of relative calm before the storm. This newly opened Emergency Department at the new hospital in Burlingame has the capacity to accommodate 50,000 visits every year.
"To work in emergency medicine, you have to not be rattled by a very loud, confusing and chaotic environment where you never know what's going to happen next," Dr. Bresler says. "You have to be exhilarated by it."

An unprecedented season in local boys soccer reaches a climactic stage this weekend. For the first time ever, four Hillsborough County schools are headed to the state semifinals. Unlike previous years, when all semifinals were held at one neutral site, this year's games will be played on the home pitch of a predetermined host school. Championship games, all to be played at USF's soccer stadium, are set for next weekend. Here's a closer look at the quartet of semifinal matchups (all matches are Friday at 7 p.m. unless noted):
Class A
Tampa Prep (17-6-2) at St. Augustine Saint Joseph (14-4-1)
Winner meets: Miami Westminster/Fort Myers Evangelical winner in Feb. 17 state final
How they advanced: Tampa Prep has scored three goals in each of its three playoff triumphs, including a 3-2 victory at Fort Meade in Tuesday's region final. ... Saint Joseph has outscored its three playoff foes by a combined total of 12-1
Who's hot for Tampa Prep: Senior captain Jordan Hayes has three goals in his last two contests, including a pair in a 3-1 region semifinal win against Indian Rocks Christian
Who's hot for St. Joseph: Name a kid. Four different players scored in the Flashes' 4-1 region finals win against Mayo Lafayette.
Throw-in fact: Saint Joseph never had won a playoff game prior to this season
Class 2A
Delray Beach American Heritage (22-3-2) at Berkeley Prep (19-7-2)
When: Saturday, 7:30 p.m.
Winner meets: Melbourne West Shore/Jacksonville Bolles winner in Feb. 17 state final
How they advanced: Berkeley has allowed two goals in three playoff triumphs. ... American Heritage coasted in its first two postseason matches before edging Miami Gulliver Prep 3-2 in the region final
Who's hot for Berkeley Prep: Senior Kevin Harvey has a team-best 26 goals, and converted the throw-in that Justin Vogel headed into the net for Berkeley's initial goal in Wednesday's 2-0 region finals win at West Palm Beach King's Academy.
Who's hot for American Heritage: Sebastian Elney (nine goals) had a goal and assist in the region final
Throw-in fact: Think Vogel -- the football team's placekicker -- isn't a tad motivated for this one? American Heritage defeated Berkeley in the Class 3A state football semifinals last December.
Class 3A
Plantation American Heritage at Jesuit (20-3-1)
Winner meets: Fort Walton Beach choctawhatchee/Land O'Lakes winner in Feb. 18 state final
How they advanced: Jesuit has earned consecutive 2-1 extra-time victories, including a region final against Immokalee determined on penalty kicks. ... American Heritage rolled past Titusville, 3-0, in the region final
Who's hot for Jesuit: Senior Brett Durrance has four postseason goals, including two in a 2-1 overtime region semifinal win against Palmetto
Who's hot for American Heritage: Veteran Nicholas Kaupas got things rolling with a first-half goal in his team's shutout of Titusville
Throw-in fact: Jesuit is two victories from its seventh state championship, which would put it alone in second place (behind CCC) for most titles for a boys program
Class 4A
Gaither (20-4-1) at Orange Park Fleming Island (23-1)
Winner meets: Hialeah American/Seminole winner in Feb. 18 state final
How they advanced: Gaither needed only two postseason wins to get here; it clinched a forfeit victory in the region semifinals when Lakeland Jenkins had to vacate the bracket for using an ineligible player. ... American earned one-goal triumphs in its last two contests
Who's hot for Gaither: Senior Jonas Bukh has been virtually unstoppable (seven goals) in his last four contests
Who's hot for Fleming Island: Cameron McMurry has scored in each of the Golden Eagles' last two contests
Throw-in fact: Fleming Island has posted 16 shutouts this season

It's nearly midnight on a Saturday, in a club hidden behind a red curtain in the wall of an old Qing Dynasty fort, when alternative rockers the Carsick Cars take 800 of Beijing's bored-with-the-mainstream youth about as close to the edge as you're allowed to get in China.
As the band begins its set, the vast two-floor nightclub is packed sweaty shoulder-to-sweaty-spine with grungy students in their twenties and dressed-down professionals in their thirties. Turned off by both the Marxism that's still mandatory in China's schools and the rampant materialism that is modern China's real ethos, they hurl their bodies recklessly into an expanding mosh pit as guitars crash and angry young men yell into microphones.
"Zhong Nan Hai! Zhong Nan Hai!" Carsick Cars front man Zhang Shouwang shouts over a bouncy guitar rhythm. It's a dangerously clever play on words - Zhongnanhai is the name of the building in the heart of Beijing that is the power centre of the ruling Communist Party, but also the name of a popular brand of cigarettes.
Zhang, a shy and skinny 24-year-old hailed as the best rock guitarist this country of 1.3 billion people has ever produced, insists the song is about the latter, and as the thrashing audience sings along they hurl cigarettes onto the stage in ironic appreciation. (It's like shouting "the White House, the White House" over and over again, then claiming you were referring only to an ordinary domicile that happens to be painted white.) Welcome to rock 'n' roll, Beijing style, a scene generating acclaim abroad and steadily growing audiences of local fans sick of the diet of saccharine pop songs they're fed on Chinese radio and television.
But while Beijing's rock stars draw their inspiration from decades of counterculture Western acts, there's a ceiling to what even a rock star can say or sing about in China.
"It's very different to be in a Chinese rock band than to be in an American rock band. If you do the same things [American bands]do, you can't play music any more," Zhang says backstage before the show, speaking in careful English with his eyes fixed on the ground. The table in front of him and his two band mates is covered with dozens of unopened cans of beer and a pair of overstuffed ashtrays.
"They can say 'Fuck George Bush' all the time. We can't." Zhang laughs, his eyes still cast down. "Well, we can say "Fuck Bush,' but that's not the same thing."
That hasn't stopped the Carsick Cars and other Beijing-based bands from creating a buzz that the Chinese capital might just be alternative rock's next big scene. Despite language barriers and the scant history of Chinese rock music, Beijing in 2010 is drawing comparisons to Seattle in the early 1990s or Montreal a few years ago - a scene about to bubble over and produce a host of artists that the world will want to pay attention to.
China's emerging brood of rock stars may well get "discovered" abroad before they find anything approaching commercial success at home. The Carsick Cars, who draw their inspiration from American bands such as Sonic Youth and the Velvet Underground, is taking over the main stage this week at the star-making South by Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas. The festival hosts its first ever "China Night" tonight, featuring six staple acts of the Beijing alternative music scene.
The South by Southwest appearance kicks off a 10-city tour of the U.S. southwest that is inevitably being dubbed the "Chinese Invasion" as the bands and their Maybe Mars record label try to capitalize on the feeling that this is their Seattle moment. "Chinese music is developing. It is the time for us to go outside the gate, out of China, and to work together with the best Western bands," said Xiao He, an avant-garde solo artist who mixes improvised guitar licks, a haunting voice and mastery of the audio editing programs on the Apple laptop he brings onstage with him.Report Typo/Error

Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead - How Juicing Can Change Lives!
Today, we would like to tell you about Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead... an award-winning documentary on how juicing can change, and sometimes even save, lives.
Amen to that!
Although we can't say that we have ever reached the stage of fat, sick and nearly dead, but we have definitely experienced first-hand how regular juicing can turbo-charge your health and eliminate large amounts of excess body fat in a very short period of time.
Take a few minutes of your time to watch this trailer. It may inspire you to try juicing for yourself and see what it can do for you. A regular juicing routine will lead to quite the opposite of fat, sick and nearly dead... hmmm, guess that would be fit, healthy and alive. Not a bad return on an investment of just a few minutes daily spent juicing some fruits and veggies. :)
Enjoy, and as always, please share your thoughts and experiences!
Visit the fat, sick and nearly dead website for more info about this documentary.

Most of the rooms are personable public spaces created with drinks and conversations in mind. In the living room, for example, Matthew paired a shapely sofa with a witty trompe l'oeil plaster coffee table that looks like a stack of large books. The sofa itself is made richer with colorful textiles and pillows. "I'm a collector of textiles," says Matthew. "A bare sofa may look great at first glance, but toss an embroidered Indian silk throw over it and it will really sing."
"I really felt the home needed some history," says Matthew. He found the 1850s portrait that hangs over the sofa at Seventeen South Antiques + Design in Charleston.

Looking for Antique Furnace parts
1 Attachment(s)
I posted about this before but now I am actively looking for a Bryant model 94&97 conversion burner (part #24264c) or any other brand gas conversion burner of similar capacity. It is at the point where if I can't find the replacement part in the photo below, I'll need to replace the entire furnace. It is actually working well right now but it heats 5 apartments and I don't want any mid-winter break downs. Believe it or not, the thing is cheap to run and would take 18 years to pay off the replacement furnace. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you very much!
I see several separate controls and components in that picture all of which should be able to be worked around (somehow or another)
More detail on the item
replacement conversion burner?
Actually, none of the parts is broken right now. It is working but it wasn't working perfectly about a month ago. When the pilot ignited it made a big boom sound so I had a furnace person come and all he did was vacuum it out. He said that they don't make parts for this anymore and I should consider getting a new furnace. BTW this is the first time it has given me any problems in 11 years and it's from 1948. Then I was thinking that this thing runs so well, is so quiet and so cheap to run ($1900 a year for a 3500s/f 3 story brick from 1860 with new windows) that maybe i could find a replacement conversion burner instead of replacing the entire unit. It has a huge air circulating fan on it that I oil religiously. That's why I posted... I'm looking for a spare conversion burner (the thing on the outside and the pipe on the inside where the pilot light is) in case this one goes bad. I can't believe that they don't make new ones with the safety features on it. Any ideas?
Thank you very much!
The last new conversion burner I put in was in about 1982 and they stopped making them shortly after. There is NO demand for them and some critical parts/pieces are obsolete. The gas co used to fix the old monsters here and had a few old parts but now they don't and we are literally changing a lot of hot water boilers and telling people to do so as there are no more conversion burners. Or they take the chance of getting that bad news on a Sunday morning and we cannot heat these hundred yr old homes with space heaters as the circuits overload etc. You mentioned you have 5 apartments. If you have tenants then I would be VERY VERY concerned about liability if that old units goes BOOM like before and starts producing Carbon Monoxide or spilling it.
Well, I guess all good things come to an end. When I see these 2-10 year warranties I feel sick thinking of all the costs down the road. I'm not totally ready to give up on finding some replacement parts but I'll call the bank to get out a loan in case I have to pay for the new one right away.
In 1999 I had the burner replaced on my old oil burner/ boiler with a new one that looked very similar to the one in the photo. That's why I thought I could find one.
It just breaks my heart to replace it. It's been very good to our family.
thanks for your help.
oil burners are easily replaceable as there are millions of them in use in the US and Alaska and Northern and Eastern Canada so there is a demand for them. No demand for conversion burners so nobody makes them.
Carlin, Beckett, and Reillo make gas conversion burners. But they aren't cheap.
since there are so few parts on this furnace....
I wonder if a specialized machine shop could make one for me and put some safety features in it too? Know anyone?
Doubt any would take on the liability. It would be a non UL approved device. And as such they would be liable if it ever did any harm or damage, even 15 years down the road.
Yes, you're right...I better start getting some more estimates. I just can't believe how expensive this is going to be. One guy gave me a price of $7900 for a Trane 90xb (or something like that). The unit only costs $1700 so the rest is for installation and re-routing the ductwork. I just had a brand new boiler put in another house for $2800! I'm in sticker shock!
Yeah I know, but they are fan assisted power burners rather than your basic atmospheric natural draft type that she has and most people had. And VERY expensive and there are only a few very expensive highly skilled class A gas fitters that I know who are skilled enough to install and setup one of them.:no:
Break that down by component and component function.
What I'm seeing...
Casting items (burner?)
Sheet metal items (housing, bracketc etc)
Fan (squirrel cage?) with motor
Pressure regulator
Pilot safety valve (with thermocouple)
Operating valve
Know what you have and their operating characteristics.
Research current production functional replacements for each.
Start accumulating bits.
Of note: Above all the burner and control items you still have a 65 year old heat exchanger.
I forgot about the heat exchanger... and it's older than 65 because it's a converted coal furnace. It was converted to gas in 1948. I feel the fight to rehab this furnace draining out of me. It's like my 18 y/o Ford... I keep swearing I'm going to stop fixing it but I just put $560 into it and one day the chassis will crack and I'll regret all the money I put in it. I had the heat exchanger crack on another furnace and it was only 20 y/o so I've been very lucky with "Gargantua,"
One of the modern fan assisted power conversion burners won't fit your unit as the burner ( former coal stoker opening ) is too low to the floor plus a whole host of other technical reasons. Nobody I know of would want to assume any liability to do that job. There are some desperadoes out there looking for work who don't care about liabilty or take out permits/have inspections done or follow codes but I doubt you want to deal with them. Those burners are good for mid to larger sized boilers. I had a 1989 Blazer up till 2011 with the original radiator and cheap as I am finally decided to replace it B4 it burst in the middle of nowhere and I would have to pay a tow truck more than it was worth for scrap metal. Old brake lines and other safety concerns for my young nephews ( myself I couldn't care too much about ) finally convinced me to donate it to the kidney foundation for scrap. Safety is a big concern especially if you have tenants and the cast heat exchangers on some of those will split or seperate etc. Bought a real nice Ford Escape when they had that Ford employee pricing event which is NO gimmick.

RUDAT Outlines Boerne's Options As Growing Town Charts its Future A five-day charrette in June led by an AIA Regional & Urban Design Assistance Team (RUDAT) highlighted the challenges facing this Hill Country town 25 minutes north of San Antonio. RUDAT personnel drew upon the knowledge and aspirations of a wide range of local citizens to formulate its assessment that is being produced as a report for the City of Boerne. As one observer remarked, "The city was alive and united for the week of RUDAT. So now we hope to keep that excitement up throughout implementation." During its five days in Boerne, the RUDAT members studied how to create a vision for the community's future. Their work was supplemented by a large amount of public participation through questionnaires, public meetings, open-mikes, and group discussions. Knowing that successful urban design can enhance the quality of life for those who live, work, and play in the area, the Boerne RUDAT was requested from the AIA by Paul Barwick, ASLA, senior planner for the City of Boerne. Barwick asked the team to provide ideas and solutions to a wide range of concerns in Boerne's "three Cs"—Cibolo Creek, the central business district, and the civic campus (a tract of land to develop the new library, city hall, and other municipal facilities). A preliminary report, which is now being finalized for city officials, includes a section dedicated to "Civic Health." While ideas of regenerative design, community image, historic preservation, and downtown densification have piqued the interest and generated excitement within the community, it was that issue of "civic health" that began to address the fragmented, sprawling, and divided aspects of the community and its surrounding areas. In addressing that issue, Joel Mills, who as director of the AIA Center for Communities by Design participated in the RUDAT, pointed out that Boerne lacked gathering spaces – or, as he called them, "third places" – that can bridge social and cultural gaps within a community. For example, he suggested that the town's Germanic culture may have led to a rather staid-minded community that only grudgingly accepts change and growth. The result, he said, is both a fragmented social network and the city's sprawling physical layout. "Compare it to a large city like Austin and you might notice the lack of interactive spaces, such
b o e r n e
t e x a s
a r c h i t e c t
To celebrate the regional character of Boerne, the RUDAT charrette developed a plan for creating four "gateways" along Interstate 10 with cooperation from the highway department. Monumental artwork and landscaping would mark the entrances to Boerne and attract motorists traveling through the Hill Country.
as coffee shops, music venues, bistros, or small parks," Mills said. "For people who move into a new area, these spaces are often the most vital in establishing a sense of home and acceptance. These creative, social, and entertainment venues allow for people to come together in a non-partisan and communal way." Another section of the report-in-progress is called "Image of the City" and draws upon recommendations by RUDAT member James Abell, FAIA, who suggests the city create pocket parks, or small recreational areas along Main Street or at other strategic points, that will provide activities for area youth who are currently at a loss for places to gather. Another section in the report is titled "Forward Together," in which Joel Mills proposes an alliance between social groups that would provide an outlet for people to socialize outside of political gatherings. The face-to-face meetings during the RUDAT's five-day visit were especially refresh-
ing in an era when "virtual communities" such as MySpace and Facebook seem to have changed our sense of social interaction. Particularly helpful was the opportunity to have actual conversations and make personal connections with professionals and peers in both San Antonio and Austin. For example, John Nyfeler, FAIA, (who chaired the Austin RUDAT in 1991) and Bill Brice of the Downtown Austin Alliance provided Boerne leaders with a wealth of coaching for the initial design assistance phase and future implementation. Nyfeler counseled patience, as cities take decades to evolve, stating, "There is no time limit for these visions." He suggested that the overall vision needs to be accepted and embraced by the community for the plan to become the groundwork for development in the years to come. B e n

Synopsis for "Preeeeeesenting...the Clown, and his Masters of Menace!"Edit
Spider-Man pays a visit to the Ringmaster and his cronies giving them a warning and subtly placing a Spider-Tracer on the Ringmaster's hat before leaving. Seeing their current trick no longer works, the gang decides to give Ringmaster the heave-ho and elect the Clown as their new leader. Meanwhile, Betty Brant invites Peter to join her at an art exhibit that J. Jonah Jameson is sponsoring. Outside though, the Clown and his cronies are breaking in to rob the place, using the Cannonball to break down a door and the Clown distracting the art exhibit visitors. Peter recognizes the Clown from the Ringmaster's gang and Jameson sees Cannonball stealing a picture off the wall. While trying to stop the theft, Jameson gets knocked out cold by a headbutt from Cannonball. Spider-Man, not knowing the split-up of the gang, follows his Spider-Tracer to the Ringmaster to see him leaving a police station as an innocent man, but uses the Ringmaster's hat to hypnotize him and find out where the real crooks are. Yet, as the newly-named Masters of Menace celebrate their heist, Spider-Man finds them and while kept off balance manages to fight them all off. One of the members, Princess Python runs away and Spider-Man tries to be a gentleman, not fighting a woman and instead pleads with her to surrender. While Spider-Man is knocked into her snake pit, the Ringmaster decides to get revenge and knocks the Clown out cold making his way out with the treasure. The Ringmaster is caught red-handed with paintings and the rest of the gang (including Princess Python) is rounded up by the police.

Just to clear this up for me, my CA boots are quite a soft material, not quite the canvas I had imagined, more a polyester feel, have they changed at all recently?
Not to my knowledge Rob... same product.
Just got my ESB boots done today. Thank again Spidey for the great tutorial.
A little strong in the purple department in the bright sun, but it's a lot more subtle indoors or in the shade. I'll proably tone down the "splits' in the white area, but wanted to let it dry a bit more before I did any more with it.

I'll admit CA boots can look really nice when they are all weathered up, especially with the toe spikes BUT
i still don't understand the price tag with the inaccuracy requiring this further weathering?
why are the colors still so off?
I used to own a pair, and got them before the price went up. I ended up selling them to someone in Ireland, mostly because they fit poorly, the heel support felt like it was always caving, and the color was just not right.
I was holding out on finding a pair of used JW, but now I'm wondering
Have the CA boots gotten any better in the past 2 years?
I may order some again, I'd just like to hear someones honest feedback.
And like i said, I know that work can be done to them to make them look good, it's obvious from the pictures.
But out of box, have they improved? or are they the same out of box as they were 2 years ago?
Also, does anyone know the size offset? I wear about a 12. I think my pair was 11 at the time and it felt HUGE!!!
Yeah, I agree - don't know why they can't do these right to begin with. Unfortunately you so seldom see the other boots for sale. I recall there was a used set on eBay when I was looking once, and they went for around $250. So, the CA's are kind of the only option out there if you want to be sure to get a pair.
Lol - same deal as two years ago on size. I bought mine almost a year ago (I know I am slow) and they are oversized too.
Here's a link for the sealer I use. http://www.krylon.com/products/workable_fixatif
Thx Spidey!
excellent tutorial i'm going to put my progress here in the week!!!
thank you
Should you use a cheese cloth to soak up paint? In other words, after you brush it on, should you rub it in with a cheese cloth to soak up excess paint and to make sure it penetrates the material?
I didn't. Not sure why you would need to. It's not that wet...
I am still wondering why this has not gotten a stickey? Just curious....
**And here lately I've been applying all coats with an Airbrush...seems to go faster and no "Brush Strokes" ... however you have to mask/or tape down the spikes, sole, and black ribs of the shoe so no paint gets on those areas before weathering later.
once again Alex... amazing paint... truly what one should aspire to do.
The shading is amazing and very subtle changes as it moves around. Very realistic and natural. I've seen it on other pieces you have painted and posted and it's really a talent. You make something very difficult look very easy...
thanks spidey. this technique works on leather boots too, for us poor folks!!!

i saw a pair on ebay was thinking about getting but im going have to wait till i get the armor done first heh but i mite just go with jango's boots instead
Those look great!
I'll look to this tutorial when I get my boots.
BTW, does anyone know if CAboots still stock these? They don't show up on the website anymore. I e-mailed Joey, but getting an answer usually takes som time :-)
Call them...
They also have a few pair left on ebay.
Yeah, saw the two pairs on the bay, a little too small I'm afraid.
I'll give them a call if my mail isn't answered this week. I've got more than enough time before I'll need them.
I don't really think the colors of the CA boot are off... I think you should regard them as what the colors were when Boba bought them...
Basically... regard them as an empty canvas, all you need to do is either wear them for years... hunt some scumbags... freeze some punks in carbonite... or simply paint them up a little.
And I wouldn't even call it painting up, because it's merely rubbing on some accents and dirt colors.
I just love the way myn came out and I found them very comfortable while trooping... Ow... I still haven't got too spikes!!! shame on me...

We only have sizes 7 and 7 1/2 in stock.
We probably will not be getting any more in stock until the beginning of next year, but if we do we will be selling on line.
Please include all previous emails with your response.
Thank you,
So untill next year they're out
Great! Thanks for the info.
I can wait 'til next year, so that's fine.
Hey all, I combined Spidey's tutorial w/pics into a word document if anyone wants it, PM me with your email address.
I just did it so I could print it out and have it to reference when I work on my boots so I don't have to keep running into my office to check on my computer
Forgot to post these..

I had a spare bit of time away from the work in front of my monitor, so I took up a buddy's offer to raid his Auto Zone's store to measure all the vacuum advance cans I wanted. I had almost decided to not bother (too much like work comment above), but in the interest of making sure, I went ahead anyway.
Needless to say, what Custom posted earlier has been shown to my satisfaction to hold true throughout the stock I measured.
While this comes as no surprise to anyone, w/the possible exception of myself, I wanted to be as sure as possible, given the two cans I own (that I will sacrifice at least one of to see what's up w/it) that seem to go against the trend. They are used, and although they appear to work normally otherwise, there's no telling what is going on w/them, and I doubt I'd ever use either on an engine.
Something I did notice, is if there's some amount of "preload", the amount of vacuum required to move the arm doesn't always increase in a linear fashion. Another thing was my Mityvac's gage was too small to give a good amount of sweep, so seeing a small deviation wasn't possible. So, I plumbed a BIG vacuum gage to it temporarily to test with.
Now, in the case of Kyle's problem, though- I do not see the difference between front or rear limiting having an affect one way or another on the pinging he's getting at throttle tip in. The reason I believe this, is the advance is at the max while at a light throttle cruise. It wouldn't matter if the can came in at 2 in/Hg or 5 in/Hg or 10 in/Hg- it's
in at the throttle setting where he's getting pinging at tip in. That is a function of TOTAL timing- either by the vacuum can, or by the total mechanical timing and the tip in point of the vacuum advance can wouldn't change that.
So all that said, hopefully my earlier dismissal of Custom's testing being wrong will be forgiven. Fact is, it is right on.

My husband and I met when I was a freshman at Alfred and he was a sophomore. The first day I met him I was in a silvery glittered dress on my way to an Alfred Halloween party - I looked at him and knew that he was someone I definitely wanted to know. By Christmas break we were together and have been ever since. It's been 30 years, 5 kids and an amazing ride.
Friends that attended our wedding:
Dudley West (attended Alfred '76 and '77) was our best man. Steve Mendelsohn '81 and Clint Braine '80 were ushers, and Sue Briskie '81 was a bridesmaid. Many Alfred friends were at the wedding: Mary McManus ('81), Dan Tinsman '78, Kim Wilson (attended Alfred '77 -'78, Kit Jenkins, Cathy Frezza '81, Marcella Morgese '82, Don Crumrine '80, Harry Flamm '80, Nancy DeWitt '81 and Ginger Mills '81.
We have so many wonderful memories of Alfred, but our favorite shared memory is a huge snowball fight (with many of the people above) outside of the Brick, with many blackberry brandy breaks.

Bloodsport remake
Phillip Noyce to direct and Robert Mark Kamen to script a reinvention of iconic Jean Claude Van Damme actioner Bloodsport, and best choice for teh role
Courtesy of Screendaily we now know that veteran producer Ed Pressman has closed deals with Phillip Noyce to direct and Robert Mark Kamen to script a reinvention of iconic Jean Claude Van Damme actioner Bloodsport (1988).
Alberto Lensi is producing with Pressman the story will follow an American who goes to Brazil to recover from the violence he has experienced in Afghanistan who gets involved in a martial arts contest. Mark DiSalles is executive producing.
Kamen's recent work includes the Transporter franchise, Taken, Bandidas and Kiss Of The Dragon for EuropaCorp, while Noyce's last film was the Sony hit Salt starring Angelina Jolie.
For those not familiar with bloodsport, it tells the story of an American man named Frank W. Dux (Jean Claude Van Damme), who was trained from his youth in the ways of Ninjutsu by a Japanese master of the art, Senzo Tanaka (Roy Chiao). Primarily to honor his mentor out of gratitude and respect for having been allowed the training in place of Senzo Tanaka's deceased and only son, Dux leaves for Hong Kong to participate in the Kumite — an illegal and underground, freestyle, single-elimination and occasionally deadly full-contact martial arts tournament to which the world's best martial artists are clandestinely invited every five years.
The movie propelled JCVD to stardom, and as a reminder of how awesome it was, here is a clip of the infamous training scene...check out the scene at the end with splits!
So who could play Van Damme? Many are saying Jason Statham, but that's too contrived. There are other action stars ready ad keen for there break, so why not make this their breakout film in the same way bloodsport was for JCVD?. I say they go for Scott Adkins, who played weapon x in Wolverine and Boyka in Undisputed!

Muralitharan may boycott Oz tour
Page Tools
File photo shows Mutiah Muralitharan celebrating after he broke the world record for test match wickets.
Test cricket's leading wicket-holder was angered when told of Howard's remarks and will now spend the next month deciding whether to tour northern Australia in July.
"Definitely, because the prime minister of Australia shouldn't be saying things like that," Muralitharan said from Bulawayo after day one of the second Test against Zimbabwe.
"The prime minister shouldn't be saying things like that, he doesn't know the facts.
"I will speak to our government about it (touring), I think our government will make this thing political and you shouldn't be trying to make this thing political.
"You can't accuse people of being a chucker.
"It's out of line because he shouldn't be saying those things, he should be thinking of (running) his country. It's not good enough."
On Friday, Howard answered "Yes" when asked if Muralitharan "chucked" during a lunchtime forum in the New South Wales town of Batemans Bay.
Howard's remark rekindled Muralitharan's uneasy feelings towards touring Australia, which began in 1995-96 when he was no-balled for throwing and intensified last year when he threatened not to visit again because of constant ridicule from Australian fans.
Sri Lanka is due to play two Tests in Australia, in Cairns and Darwin, where Muralitharan and Shane Warne could possibly go head-to-head for the world record.
Muralitharan overtook the West Indies' Courtney Walsh's record in the first Test against Zimbabwe and currently has 523 Test scalps, including 2-58 in the first innings against Zimbabwe.
Warne has 517 Test wickets and can overtake his rival during the two matches against Zimbabwe.
Muralitharan said he would not be concerned if he lost the record to Warne by not touring, and given he is three years younger than the Australian, has time on his side.
"It's not a big issue for me ... the only thing that matters is how you play the game," he said.
Muralitharan did not once bowl his illegal doosra during his 22 overs in the first innings against Zimbabwe.
If he did, he risked being reported and subsequently suspended for one year.
He said he didn't bowl the legspinner because he was advised not to by Sri Lankan team management and was adamant he would not use the doosra for the remainder of this Test.
