I just bought a house in August that has a boiler. Ive never had a boiler before what little I know, Ive learned from reading the excellent posts on this forum, as well as a few other websites. I have a problem with pressure, and would really appreciate some help.
Heres the brief description of my problem: My boiler runs at a constant 16 PSI during the day when the heat isnt on. At night, when the heat kicks on, the boiler runs up to 30 PSI and triggers the pressure relief valve, draining water out. It also makes a fair amount of noise some of the pipes are making loud knocking sounds, and theres a much quieter knocking coming from inside the boiler. Based on what Ive read, Im guessing that most or all of the symptoms Im experiencing are because the system is becoming overpressurized. Im trying to figure out why.
Other information: Its a Burnham P209. Its installed in a closet in our finished basement. A note written on the wall in the closet has the date 9/12/88 and indicates that it should be run at 23-25 PSI. I presume 1988 is when it was installed, although I dont know that for sure. The house was expanded significantly around the same time 7/20/88 is when the building permit for the expansion was granted. It would make sense that a new larger boiler would accompany the expansion. The house is 3600 square feet, three floors, and has a four-zone heating system.
I have an Amtrol Extrol 30 diaphragm expansion tank. From what Ive read, overpressurization when the water is being heated seems to most often be related to a problem with the expansion tank. I did a simple test on the tank, touching the outside of it while the system was under high pressure. Roughly the top 1/4 of the tank was hot to the touch, and the bottom 3/4 was cool, indicating that the bladder is still holding air. I dont know of any other quick tests I can run on the expansion tank.
Theres a pressure and thermometer gauge on the outgoing pipe, right after the water comes out of the boiler and just before it goes through the expansion tank. Theres also a pressure and thermometer gauge on the left side of the casing around the boiler. These two gauges give very different readings the gauge on the pipe reads higher for temperature, and the gauge on the boiler reads higher for pressure.
When the boiler heated up tonight, the gauge on the pipe got up to 31 PSI and 210 degrees. The gauge on the boiler reached 38 PSI and 185 degrees. When the gauge on the pipe hits 30 PSI, water starts getting released by the PRV, which is rated 30 PSI, so that seems to confirm the PSI reading from the pipe gauge. I dont know which temperature reading is correct.
Around 200 degrees on the pipe gauge, the boiler shut off, but the temperature continued rising to 210. After that, it dropped down to about 160, and the boiler went back on, taking the temperature back up to 195 (175 on the other temperature gauge). The pressure again went up to 30 PSI, releasing more water. Its not a lot of water getting released each time Id guess less than a cup.
There are two things I suspect may be going wrong here:
1. Primary issue: The system is getting up to 30 PSI, triggering the PRV. My quick touch test seemed to rule out a complete failure of the expansion tank the tank isnt full of water. What could be causing the pressure to rise so much?
2. Secondary issue: Temperature probably shouldnt be reaching 210, so it seems like theres a problem there too. Could be that the temperature gauge on the pipe is reading too high, or it could be that I need to lower the high temperature limit on the aquastat. (The aquastat is a Honeywell L8148E.)
Id really appreciate any help on what to try next to diagnose and solve this problem! Thanks a lot!!
210 is way too high for the limit. Drop it to 180 or 190. Touching your expansion tank means nothing. Tank pressure needs to be tested by dropping the system pressure to 0 and then checking the tank. It should be around 12 - 17 lbs.
[B]No, plumbing ain't rocket science. Unlike rocket science, plumbing requires a license[B]
Unless you have an unusual situation, most residential boilers run around one atmosphere - 14-16 pounds...running it nearly double, so close to the relief valve setting, is counter productive. IF the expansion tank is intact and sized properly, it should easily keep the pressure within the static, cool pressure range. If your pump is not sized properly, or there's a restriction, it's possible they set it up that high (in pressure) to keep the boiler from flashing to steam because the water isn't passing through the boiler quick enough and getting too hot on the pass. If that's the problem, it needs to be addressed.

The banging and noise you notice could be a result of the boiler making steam. As mentioned above, lower the temperature to 180.
Another check of the expansion tank is to tap the top of the tank with a wrench, it should have a dead sound. Hit the bottom of the tank and it should ring just a bit. If you get a dead sound from the bottom part of the tank it means that the tank is full of water and the bladder has failed.
Thanks a lot for all the replies!
The aquastat is wedged in between the boiler casing and the wall, so it was hard to get to. With a headlamp and a mirror, I can now see that the aquastat has a high temp setting that can range from 180 to 240 degrees. It was already set at the minimum, 180. Despite that, I've seen the temperature on the gauge read as high as 210, so I don't know if the aquastat or the gauge is faulty.
I tried the "tap a wrench on the expansion tank" test. The tank has a dead sound on top (as expected), a hollow sound if I tap it on the side near the bottom, and a dead sound if I tap it right on the bottom. Does that mean it's likely that the tank has failed? If so, it sounds like the next step to take the system pressure down to zero and measure the tank pressure? Any other suggestions?
Thanks again for all the help!
Assuming it is a screwp-in temperature gauge, when you have the presure drained off, get a new one and install it. If you take an instant read meat thermometer and wrap some insulation around it to hold it right on a pipe, after a few minutes, it should give you a close approximation of the temp. An IR thermeter would work, but kind of expensive for a one-time use!
The aquastat may be defective. On the expansion tank, it's probably shot. If you turn the autofill off, then momentarily open the valve on the bottom of the tank, if you get any water out, it's shot. A really shot burst of air won't change things much, but I think you'll probably get some water. Also, after you get the cap off, it may be obvious if it is all rusty underneath, another indication (not always, though).
There are only a few reasons the pressure would rise on its own: expansion tank shot or non-existant; a defective fill valve; a bad indirect WH or tankless coil. The easy one is probably the expansion tank, and the most common. You can often replace it without tools. All of the other choices require tools and would probably cost more to fix.

Your tank sounds normal. I just went down and checked my tank (which is only two months old)...
Top 1/3 I get a dead "clank"
Bottom 1/3 I get a ring
Bottom of tank near the air valve I get less of a ring, but a ring none the less
I think it would be odd to get a ring from the bottom 1/3 and no ring at all at the bottom. A failed bladder is a failed bladder.
Regarding the zero pressure test, turn off the boiler, close the auto fill ball valve, and then isolate the zones with the ball valves. From there you'll need to open the bleed valves for the zones. You aren't looking to drain the zones, just release pressure. The water will flow for a few seconds at a rapid rate and then drop-off. Close the valve when it drops off. After the pressure is released from the zones the pressure gauge on the boiler should read zero.
Now you can check the bladder pressure. If you get water from the valve, you've got a bad bladder.
If the circulator pumps are also circa 1988 it's conceivable that you're not getting sufficient flow to keep that monster-sized burner from taking the boiler over-temp. DO check that out (as jadnashua suggested), or have a pro do it for you. That's a pretty serious 9-plate boiler with an output well north of 200KBUH, and probably 3x oversized for the load (or more), and it doesn't take long for it to hit the steam flashpoint if a pump motor is running half-speed or the impeller is corroded to the nubbins.
That boiler/system is also old enough to vote (and maybe even smarter than some voters? :-) ) On day-1 it was running a combustion efficiency of ~80%, with an AFUE of ~78%, provided it was no more than 1.6x oversized for the design-condition load. If it's 3x or more oversized it probably started out life in the low-70s, and is hitting around 60-65% now, after decades of corrosion & scale on the fire side and modest liming on the water side of the plates brings it's max steady state efficiency into the low-mid 70s. If properly installed & adjusted, a right-sized modulating-condensing boiler would deliver 90% AFUE or better, reducing the heating bill by 1/3 or more.
Even an old schoolers "lessee, 3600 foot taims 35 btu a foot give ya 126 thou BTU" type of heat load calcs would put this beast at ~1.7x oversized (~220k/126K) and if the place has any insulation at all and doesn't leak air like a wind tunnel that calculation would be more than 2x oversized. Simple reckoning says that the real load would likely be under 75K, making it more than 3x oversized. It happens a lot, even now, and was even more common 20+ years ago.
Before pouring money into anything other than getting it though the season, it's probably time to think about replacing it, and using some intelligence to size it correctly. With a mid-winter fuel-use bill pegged to exact dates by which we could look up heating degree-day weather data it would be easy to put a whole-house upper bound on it for boiler sizing. (Alternatively an annual use against typical seasonal HDD would get you close enough.) The 99% outside design temp for Boulder is 0F, and even though it gets colder than that at least a few times a season, a boiler rated EXACTLY for the heat load at 0F would never leave you cold, and at even 10% oversizing you'd be 100% covered down to -8F. Of course you never know, it might hit -190F one of these winters, and you'd be glad to have a 3x oversized boiler in place when it does, eh?
Good news: The expansion tank needs to be replaced. I used a tire gauge to check it, and water squirted out rather than air.
I thought this might be a cheap job ($100 for parts and $100 for labor, maybe?) so I called two local plumbers. Both quotes were in the $500-600 range. Pricey! For $200 or so, I would have been willing to hire someone, but at $500-600 I'll do it myself. Sounds like it should be pretty easy. Now I need to acquire parts...
Looks like Lowe's and Home Depot carry Watts expansion tanks rather than the Extrol tanks. I see the Watts ETX-30 on the Lowe's website, sized at 4.7 gallons, for $33. Sounds like the same size as the Extrol 30 -- would I be OK using the Watts tank then? Is Extrol a more reliable brand, or is there any other reason I'd want to go with the Extrol? Best price I see on the Extrol 30 is $56 shipped.
I also see a Watts temperature/pressure gauge for $19 on Lowe's website. Since the temperature reading from my gauge is suspect, I'm planning to replace this too.
Seems like that's all I need, plus a wrench?
One other question: When I depressurized the system to check the expansion tank, I released water from each of the four zones one by one, closing off three zones and opening the drain valve for one. After I was done, two of the valves (one of the drain valves and one of the valves to close a zone) were dripping a little bit of water. After a day or so, the dripping went away. Is this anything to be concerned about? Should I be more careful somehow when I close and open these valves the next time?
Thanks again for the help!
Replacing the expansion tank was more of an adventure than I expected. On top of the expansion tank are the air purger and air vent, with a small valve between them. I guess the valve was placed there to allow replacing the air vent without having to take the system pressure down to zero? Anyway, that valve has leaked, so the air purger is rusty, and the expansion tank was rusted solid into the air purger. With some help, I managed to break the tank free from the rust and replace it.
OK, great, now I have a brand-new expansion tank. But I see absolutely no change in the pressure profile of the boiler vs. before, when I had the waterlogged expansion tank. During the day, when the boiler has been off for a while, pressure is 12 PSI. When the boiler fires up again at night, pressure spikes to 30 PSI, the relief valve lets off some water, and then overnight as the boiler is cycling, pressure stabilizes in the range of 22-26 PSI.
For what it's worth, the boiler cycles pretty quickly overnight its on for 2 minutes or so before shutting off again.
So I havent fixed the pressure problem at all. But I know the expansion tank is good. Whats the next most likely suspect? From all the replies I received before, it seems that the possibilities are:
1. Expansion tank is too small. I had an Extrol 30 before, so I replaced it with a new Extrol 30. But I dont know for sure that thats the right size. How could I find out?
2. Fill valve is leaky, allowing water in when it shouldnt. This doesnt seem to be the problem pressure is at 12 during the day when the boiler is off, and doesnt rise above that. Seems like the fill valve is letting in just enough water each day to replace what the relief valve leaks overnight, and no more.
3. Problem with indirect WH or tankless coil. I dont know what these are. How would I diagnose this?
4. Taco pump undersized or defective. How would I diagnose this?
Thanks again so much for all the help Ive received so far. Its disappointing that simply replacing the expansion tank didnt solve the problem, but I hope with everyones help I can get to the bottom of this.
And thanks Dana for the advice to just do as much as necessary to keep the boiler running this winter and then replace it. That makes sense to me, but when we had a pro up to the house to look at the boiler, he gave an estimate of $15K for replacement! Given my annual gas bill of $1000 or so, even an efficiency improvement from 60% to 90% would take many decades to pay off. So Ive been of the mindset that I should keep my oversized, old-enough-to-vote boiler running well into middle age if I can. But if Im thinking about this the wrong way, Id really appreciate feedback.
OK, thanks again, and happy New Year!
Before pressurizing the system, did you check the precharge pressure in the expansion tank? It should be the nominal pressure you fill the system to, which is usually somewhere near 14-16#, dependent on the system design. Most relief valves on domestic boilers are set at 30psi, so running it at 1/2 gives 100% margin. You can't check the expansion tank's pressure when you have water pressure applied, since the air pressure will then equal the water pressure. Check out http://www.watts.com/pages/support/sizing_ET.asp for sizing verification. You'll need to know or be able to calculate the volume of your total heating system's water supply.

Take a picture of the boiler, front on so that I can see the whole front of the boiler and I will get back to you.
There are only a few ways a boiler can gain pressure.
1 - the expansion tank is bad or has no air charge in it
2 - the auto-feed valve is leaking by
3 - the high limit temperature is set too high
4 - you have a tankless coil for making domestic hot water and it has a leak in it allowing house pressure into the boiler.

Thanks for the helpful replies! At Tom's request, I've attached a photo of my boiler. Thanks for the suggestion -- I should have done that a while ago.
Jim -- Yes, before I installed the new expansion tank, I used a bicycle pump to pump it to 18 PSI. It seems entirely possible that an Extrol 30 might be too small for my house, and I'd love to use the Watts calculator to find out, but I just don't know the volume of water in the system. Is there any way to estimate? From the size of the house and number of zones, you might be able to estimate the total length of the pipes, but you'd also have to know the diameter of the pipes, right? Seems like a lot of guesswork. So short of draining all of the water and measuring it, I don't really know how I would estimate.
Tom -- Thanks for the clear list of possible suspects. I don't think my boiler is tied to my hot water at all. I have two closets in my laundry room -- one contains the boiler, and the other contains my water heater. They seem totally separate, except for the fill water.
And the pressure drops to 10-12 PSI during the day when the boiler's not running and stays there, so it seems like I don't have a leaky auto-feed valve.
You mentioned the high limit temperature being set too high as a possibility. The aquastat is set to the lowest allowed temperature -- 180. But it definitely seems possible that the water is getting too hot and flashing to steam. When the boiler fires up, it only takes two minutes or so for the temperature gauge to jump 20-30 degrees and then the boiler shuts off. Seems possible that the boiler is overshooting and producing steam, due to an undersized or faulty pump, perhaps.
I'm really enjoying learning about my boiler and debugging this problem, and I'm confident that we'll get it figured out, but I wouldn't have the foggiest idea how to approach it without your help. Thanks so much for all the support!
231 cubic inches = 1 gallon.
So, estimate the length of the piping, and use pi*r^2*length (in inches) to get the volume (you may need to do several calculations for estimates of the various diameter piping and rads), then divide by 231 to get gallons. Figure maybe a couple of gallons for the boiler itself (or see if it says in the manual) and you should be close. A larger expansion tank only hurts when you buy it, one too small will give you the symptom if it gets saturated/filled-up. If there is air in the system, when it gets heated, it will expand more than the water...purge the system of air and check your air extraction device's operation, or add one if you don't have one.

Thanks Jim. Here's my quick math:
House is at most 40' x 60', so perimeter is 200'. Suppose piping for each zone goes all the way around the perimeter of the house. 200' x 4 zones = 800'. Add extra footage for supply and return between the levels of the house, and I estimate 890' = 10,680 in.
Assuming pipe diameter of 3/4", radius is 3/8", and pipe cross-section area is 3.14 x 0.375 x 0.375 = 0.44 sq in.
So total volume = 10,680 x 0.44 = 4716 cu in.
Using 231 cu in per gallon gives 20 gallons. Adding a few for the boiler itself I have maybe 25 gallons at most.
This is probably a conservative (that is, high) estimate -- each of the zones actually covers about half of a floor, so total pipe length is surely less than 890'.
The rest of my inputs to the Watts calculator are in the screenshot attached. Calculated total volume is 1.69 gallons and acceptance volume is 0.74 gallons. Extrol 30 yields 4.5 and 2.5, respectively. Given that I'm pretty confident that I overestimated the water volume, it seems like the Extrol 30 should be more than sufficient size. Does that seem right?

What is Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a mysterious chronic disease that produces severe pain throughout the body along with exhaustion, sleep problems, depression and anxiety. Not much is known about Fibromyalgia even today. It is estimated 2 to 4 percent of the population suffer from Fibromyalgia. For reasons not yet established it affects women at an alarmingly higher rate then it does men. It is estimated that between 80 and 90 percent of people diagnosed with Fibromyalgia are women.
Fibromyalgia spreads throughout the body causing enormous pain and exhaustion and is known to develop alone or along with other debilitating conditions of the musculoskeletal system such arthritis or lupus.
People suffering from Fibromyalgia often feel isolated and misunderstood due to the fact that the ability to perform daily tasks varies depending on the severity of symptoms which fluctuate greatly from day to day.

ATLANTA (July 1, 2013) - Children's Healthcare of Atlanta is reminding families to be safe this July 4th and avoid directly handling fire-related devices like fireworks and sparklers. During this time of celebration, Children's urges everyone to leave fireworks to the professionals.
"The Fourth of July is an occasion to celebrate outdoors and spend time with family, but nothing ruins a party like a trip to the emergency room," saysJames Fortenberry, M.D., Director of Critical Care Medicine and Pediatrician-in-Chief at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. "With the long list of local professional firework displays available, there's no reason to risk life-threatening injuries and burns by putting on your own show. Leave the fireworks to trained professionals."
According to the National Fire Protection Association, during the weeks surrounding July 4th an average of 200 people visit an emergency room with fireworks-related injuries. Fifty-seven percent of all fireworks-related injuries occur during this time each year. The risk of fireworks injury is highest for children ages five to 14, with more than twice the risk for the general population.
Children under 15 years old account for 39 percent of the estimated fireworks injuries, which can include burns, contusions/lacerations, concussion, scarring and even death, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
A list of some Atlanta-area public firework shows can be found here. For more tips on summer safety from Children's, please visitwww.choa.org/summersafety.

TIFF 2013: THE F WORD Goes to CBS Films, Weinstein Acquires ELEANOR RIGBY and RAILWAY MAN, and Lionsgate Nabs LIFE OF CRIME
by Adam Chitwood Posted 220 days ago
We've got a number of exciting acquisitions to report on this afternoon from the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival. Briefly:
- The F Word – This fantastic relationship comedy from Goon director Michael Dowse stars Daniel Radcliffe as a young man who strikes up a close relationship with a girl (Zoe Kazan) who has a boyfriend (Rafe Spall). It was one of my favorite films from TIFF this year and CBS Films has acquired US rights to the pic. Read Matt's review here.
- The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: His/Hers – The ambitious two-part feature about a relationship between James McAvoy and Jessica Chastain is told from each partner's point of view in two separate portions, and The Weinstein Company is now acquiring the U.S. rights to the Ned Benson-directed 190-minute pic per Deadline.
- The Railway Man – The Weinstein Company is also acquiring (per THR) this war/post-war drama starring Colin Firth as a former POW suffering from PTSD who attempts to reconcile the events of his capture. The pic as a whole never really comes together, but Jeremy Irvine stands out in flashbacks. Read my review here.
- Life of Crime – Deadline also repots that Lionsage and Roadside Attractions are nearing a deal for this Elmore Leonard adaptation starring Jennifer Aniston, Yasiin Bey, and John Hawkes.
Hit the jump for more details in the full press releases.

The Man Who Created Cohiba
James Suckling
From the Print Edition:
Linda Evangelista, Autumn 95
It was just another visit to a cigar store in Havana. The newly constructed shop in the Comodoro hotel, one of the city's premier hotels, was overseen by two people, who guided their guests into the humidor to show off the selection of top Havana brands. Off in the corner, a middle-aged man worked diligently rolling cigars.
At first glance, he seemed like just another roller who supplies freshly rolled cigars to passing tourists. Within a few minutes, it was clear that this man with an inviting smile and sure hands was more than just a simple roller. He was, in fact, one of the key figures involved in creating Cohiba and Davidoff cigars and the former personal cigar roller for Fidel Castro.
"I was both director and a roller at the El Laguito factory, from its beginning in 1963 to 1970," says Eduardo Rivera Irizarri, 54, as he rolls a torpedo-shaped cigar. "You understand that Fidel was the most threatened leader in the world, that there were a lot of assassination attempts against him, all the attempts made by the CIA. So, I was put in charge of making cigars for him. It was all very secretive."
Castro himself said that Cohiba, his favorite cigar, was invented by a friend of one of his bodyguards. That friend was Rivera. Rivera says it happened by chance in the early 1960s when his friend gave one of his cigars to Fidel. It was shaped like today's Cohiba Lancero, and Castro was interested in the cigar's elegant shape. He was even more impressed with the cigar after smoking it. "From that time on," Rivera says, "Fidel smoked nothing else, and I made cigars for him."
At the time, Rivera was working at the La Corona factory in downtown Havana, near the capitol building. He sourced his tobacco there and made a few cigars a day according to a personal blend, which became the basis for Cohiba and, later, Davidoff. "I was a roller of the first rank," he says proudly. "I had been a tobacco man since I was a little boy. After I started making the cigars for Fidel, I rolled them in my house, and for a while I did it in La Corona, only for Fidel."
Government officials quickly decided to give Rivera carte blanche to make Castro's cigars, which soon became a coveted diplomatic gift as well. Rivera says that Castro was the only one with the authority to give the cigars away. He soon began working closely with one of Castro's secretaries, Celia Sanchez, to create an official brand for Castro.
"We decided on Cohiba," he recalls, pointing out that the brand was first used in 1966; until then they were given away unbranded. It wasn't until the early 1980s that Cohiba was actually commercialized. "Our native peoples called the tobacco plant 'Cohiba.' It was also used to describe something that was done with a lot of care. In its production, the tobacco was carefully selected for [its] aromatic and flavor characteristics. The farms we used were the finest in the country."
El Laguito, the factory where most Cohibas are still produced, is located in the suburbs of Havana. It was started as a rolling school for women, but Rivera, who was involved at every level, remembers having about 20 rollers at the beginning to make cigars. Production began at about 650,000 cigars. "Within a few years, we realized that we had enough production to commercialize something," he says. "So we contacted Zino Davidoff and asked him to discuss such a project."
Davidoff visited in 1969, and Rivera spent three days with him,trying different blends and discussing every aspect of producing Davidoff cigars in Havana. About a year later, the first Davidoffs left the doors of El Laguito. "I met with Davidoff, talked with him and exchanged the first impressions with him," Rivera recalls. "We conducted some negotiations to put the brand name on our cigars. At that time, he wanted to buy the factory, but that was against the policy of the government."
The last Davidoff Havana was made in 1990, after the Cubans and the Swiss company severed their relationship. Rivera says that the blends for Davidoff were slightly different than those for Cohiba, but that the sizes were the same until Davidoff began making the chateau series cigars (Margaux, Latour and others) at La Corona.

The exact date was May 6, 2012 and the team was at Fenway Park. Nobody has to tell a real fan the rest. Chris Davis came out of right field and shut out the Boston Red Sox for two innings. Adam Jones launched a three-run homer in the 17th to carry the Orioles back into first place in the American League East.

If you're wondering why this is suddenly relevant, you probably went to a movie or something Friday night and didn't watch the Orioles deliver a similarly magical performance against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field. It didn't feature two non-pitchers on the mound at the end of a six-hour marathon, but it did include a relentless six-run comeback in the late innings, a huge performance by Davis and a game-winning hit in extras by super sophomore Manny Machado.
The Orioles ended up scoring three times in the 10th, and Jim Johnson set a club record with his 35th consecutive save and the final score was 9-6, which — you guessed it — was the same as last year's May 6 miracle.
The only major difference, of course, was that nobody around here needed Friday night's game to prove that the Orioles are a very good team. That has already been established, and it has been reinforced on several occasions during the first five weeks of the 2013 season.
The Twins didn't have to be reminded. The Orioles dropped a five-spot on them in the eighth inning April 5 at Camden Yards and scored five in the ninth five days later at Fenway to make sure Red Sox fans had not forgotten.
It's time to break this to the rest of the league and to all the experts who dismissed the Orioles' 2012 performance as some grand six-month illusion: It's not magic. This team is the real deal.
The Orioles entered Saturday night's game in Minnesota tied for the most wins (22) in the majors, and they have the best road record (13-8) in the American League (second-best overall), despite playing one of the game's toughest early-season schedules.
And it's not like everything is just falling into place. The fifth starter slot as been a chronic problem, setup man Pedro Strop is still trying to reclaim his 2012 form and the Orioles have gotten scant production from the designated hitter slot.
None of that has slowed them down. Though their fifth and fill-in starters this year are a combined 1-3 with a 6.44 ERA in eight tries, the club is a respectable 4-4 in those games. Though No. 1 starter Jason Hammel has been struggling with his command for much of this season and hiked his ERA up to 4.93 with a rocky four-inning performance Friday night, the Orioles are 6-1 in his seven starts.
That's a testament to the club's strong offensive performance and a never-say-die attitude that has been instilled by manager Buck Showalter. Hammel has gotten amazing run support to help him over the rough spots, while the Orioles hitters only stand down long enough to watch Wei-Yin Chen pitch every fifth day.
Chen has allowed three runs or fewer in six of his seven starts and is just 2-3, but if that's the most damaging statistical anomaly facing the Orioles, it's actually another sign of how well things have gone so far.
Going into the second game of the Twins series, the Orioles have won five of their past six games and need to split the final two at Target Field to win a series for the seventh time in their last eight tries.
When Showalter talks about "passing the baton," he's usually referring to the hitters and pitchers simply doing their jobs and depending on their teammates to pick up where they left off, but this team also has passed the baton from 2012 to 2013.
If you're an Orioles fan, you already know that, but it must be fun to watch them keep reminding everybody else.

What EPA is Doing
EPA is working diligently with its partners to combat the nitrogen and phosphorus pollution problems in the U.S., including:
- Providing states with technical guidance and resources to help them develop water quality criteria for nitrogen and phosphorus as part of their water quality standards regulations for surface waters.
- Working with states to identify waters with nitrogen and phosphorus pollution and to develop Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) to restore the waters by limiting allowable nutrient inputs.
- Awarding grants to states for operating nonpoint source management programs.
- Administering a permit program that restricts the amount of nitrogen and phosphorus released to the environment from point sources.
- Providing funding for the construction and upgrading of municipal wastewater facilities and the implementation of nonpoint source pollution control and estuary protection projects.
- Working with its state and federal partners on the Mississippi River/Gulf of Mexico Watershed Nutrient Taskforce to reduce hypoxia.
- Conducting and/or supporting research on nitrogen and phosphorus pollution-related topics.
- Working to reduce nitrogen oxides emissions through emissions standards, the NOx trading program and the acid rain program.
- Helping states reduce air pollution and attain clean air standards and manage interstate air pollution from power plants.
EPA Efforts in the Regions

EPA Numeric Nutrient Criteria Strategy
In 1998, EPA outlined a Numeric Nutrient Strategy to describe the approach that EPA would follow to develop nutrient information and work with the states and tribes to adopt numeric nutrient criteria.
In 2001, EPA developed a memo that provided additional guidance to states and authorized tribes for developing nutrient criteria plans, the role of the plans, flexibility available, and EPA's expectations for the time frame to develop a plan and adopt nutrient criteria into water quality standards. Then, in 2007, EPA developed a memo to provide a national update on the development of numeric nutrient water quality standards and describe EPA's commitment to accelerating the pace of progress.
In 2008, EPA published "State Adoption of Numeric Nutrient Standards 1998–2008". This document was the first national report on progress made by the states in adopting numeric nutrient water quality standards (WQS). EPA recognized the urgency of nitrogen and phosphorus pollution by forming the EPA Nutrient Innovations Task Group (NITG) to focus on reducing nitrogen and phosphorus pollution in U.S. waters. In 2009, the NITG published a report that focused on drawing attention to the need for nutrient reduction strategies.
- An Urgent Call to Action: Report of the State-EPA Nutrient Innovations Task Group
- Nutrient Innovations Task Group, Report Fact Sheet
In 2011, EPA published a memorandum reaffirming its commitment to partnering with states and stakeholders to address nitrogen and phosphorus pollution. This memorandum presents a framework that states can use to reduce nitrogen and phosphorus pollution while developing numeric criteria. The framework provides for: prioritizing watersheds on a statewide basis for nitrogen and phosphorus loading reductions, ensuring effectiveness of point sources permits, integrating innovative approaches onto agricultural practices, identifying and using government tools to assure reductions in stormwater and septic systems, verifying that load reductions are in place and the measures implemented are effective, and developing a plan for adoption of numeric nutrient criteria.

Desalination of Water Using Electrodialysis
Model ID: 3849
Electrodialysis is a separation process for electrolytes based on the use of electric fields and ion selective membranes. Some common applications of the electrodialysis process are:
- Desalination of process streams, effluents, and drinking water
- pH regulation in order to remove acids from, for example, fruit juices and wines
- Electrowinning of precious metals
This tutorial demonstrates the basics of electrodialysis in a desalination cell that removes sodium chloride from a dilute water solution and into a more highly concentrated solution.

machine factories had the equipment and skills to build bicycles,
so some companies made the shift to this new, promising business.
One such converted Englishman engineer was James Starley,
one of the leading bicycle makers of his generation. Starley
made a series of basic technological improvements that led
to the development of the modern bicycle. As early as the
1870s, he devised ways to make steel tubing light yet strong
enough to build bicycles. Later, he invented the "lever-tension"
wheel, with metal rods attached between hub and rim. When
the rods were tightened, the hub turned slightly, increasing
the tension on the spokes in one simple movement.*

Since 1996 reference librarians have been providing Biology 14 students library research skills workshops. Then, the sessions were presented as lectures, now it is entirely web-based. Bio14 Library Research is integrated into the Bio 14 lab curriculum and is a required, graded lab report. Tisch librarians work with the Bio 14 faculty and lab instructors teaching them how to effectively and successfully present the site to their students. Working in groups the students are required to identify a research topic, develop a research question, locate a variety of library resources on the topic and evaluate these resources. As individuals, the students are then asked to synthesize the information into a short paper. The use of this self-driven method of discovery and development allows students to learn important research skills and scientific resources at their own pace. It also exposes students to skills and sources that they have never used. One Bio14 student stated on the evaluation "I think this is an effective way to learn the basics of library research because it is a self-tutorial of what needs to be accomplished in order to understand how to do library research." Taking the time to integrate library research into your syllabus and curriculum provides your students with the skills and resources they need to become successful learners, researchers, and leaders!
For several semesters, the library held mandatory workshops for Psyc 1 students. During this 50 minute session--organized with Psyc 1 instructors and held outside of class time--students were introduced to research methods for identifying and obtaining scholarly articles in psychology. The workshops were invaluable for students who might otherwise not use psychology resources systematically and had the secondary benefit of reducing dramatically the number of repetitive questions asked at the reference desk. A Psyc 1 student evaluated the workshop by saying
"I am better prepared because I had no prior knowledge of these resources. Now I feel more confident that I will find suitable information when I need to do my assignment."
Dr. Phil Holcomb, Psyc 1 faculty member says
"The Psychology 1 instructor team feels very strongly that the library sessions have become an increasingly important part of our students' learning experience. We now know that the students who engage in these sessions learn more about the online services available through the library and then end up writing much better papers. We also now know that these students save an enormous amount of time and go on to use the skills in their more advanced courses. We would very much like for this service to become a permanent component of Psychology 1."
Whether your class is small or large, a survey or upper-division course, consider building in time for a library workshop. Your students will thank you for it!
Librarians teach workshops scheduled by Explorations and Perspectives leaders in order to provide support for the library paper component of the first year advising seminars. Library workshops focus on resources relevant to the diverse subject areas covered by these courses. Hands-on time is also provided for students to get a head start on their projects with a librarian available to answer individual research questions. Faculty advisors for Explorations and Perspectives may encourage their seminar leaders to schedule a library instruction session for their classes.
Tisch librarians recognize that faculty members have a variety of experience using today's technologically advanced library. Accordingly, we have joined with CELT, the Center for the Enhancement of Learning and Teaching, to offer an ongoing series of hands-on workshops to guide faculty to effectively integrate library resources and sophisticated search strategies into your courses and your own research. During the past few years, workshop topics have included:
If you have a suggestion for a workshop topic, or would like us to offer a workshop specifically targeted to your teaching department, just let us know. We can tailor our workshops or design new ones to achieve your goals.

Colorado's popular governor wants to restore people's faith in government with his unique brand of politics. It's turning out to be a whole lot tougher than he ever imagined. An exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at Hick's first year in office.
5280.com Exclusive: Read our Q&A with the writer Maximillian Potter, check out a slideshow of his behind-the-scenes images, and get his take on the First Couple's separation.
Morning, Friday, May 6, 2011 | The Longest Day
During those crazy last days of his first legislative session, there was a bowl of red apples in the middle of the long conference table in his office. The fruit added much-needed color and life, and somehow brought a sense of hope, to the otherwise stodgy executive chambers, with their wood-paneled walls and meager natural light, which came in shafts through wooden blinds and illuminated the floating dust. On that morning a little more than a year ago, five men were seated at the table. One of the men had a laptop open with a map of the state of Colorado on the screen. The computer was plugged in to a projector that put the map on a much larger screen at one end of the table.
The men would point at the map on the large screen and talk at one another; occasionally one of them would move his hand in a slicing motion, as if carving a honey ham. The men then would sit back, look at the map, look at one another, and say nothing. Sometime just after 9 a.m., not long after this group had sat down, he reached over them, plucked an apple from the bowl, and wished them luck. He told them if they were able to figure this out it would go a long way to restore the public's confidence in government. Then he left them in his office.
Hoping he had sufficiently appealed to their "better angels," which is one of his favorite phrases, he exited the state Capitol building in what had become his typical manner: through doors near his office, moving briskly, disheveled—one of his scuffed shoes untied, the back of his shirt untucked—and behind schedule. Carrying a white binder and chomping on the apple, he descended the stone steps to his SUV, which was at the ready with a state trooper in jacket and tie behind the wheel.
"How's it going, Governor?" the trooper asked. "Oh, you know," the governor said, "having the time of my life." The line is another of Governor John Wright Hickenlooper's favorites, his default response almost anytime anyone asked him how things were going with the new job. And he said it that morning as he often does, in a tone frosted with chipper and charm that could mean he's being either completely sincere or completely sarcastic, and which unmistakably conveys he's not about to elaborate.
In the SUV he opened the white binder and studied the contents: a briefing and suggested comments for his appearance at the Colorado State Patrol Training Academy in Golden. Hickenlooper likes to speak extemporaneously. When he does, most of the time, he's a charming, self-deprecating hit. There have been times, however, when, in the words of one of his senior staffers, he's "stepped on his crank." His top advisers breathe a little easier when he has talking points, and it was all there on the page: "You are delivering the memorial address for the seven officers being added to the Colorado Law Enforcement Memorial. The Colorado Law Enforcement Memorial was created in 1979, and has 243 names engraved in the memorial of officers who died in the line of duty. The seven names they are adding today include one recent officer death as well as six historical officer deaths."
When we arrived in Golden, the spring sun was unseasonably warm. The asphalt lot was packed with cars. Formations of uniformed law enforcement officers stood at attention, and rows of folding chairs faced a podium, every seat filled. The governor lifted a tie from the SUV's center console. Hickenlooper doesn't usually wear a tie. He takes great pride in not wearing a tie. He thinks ties are "off-brand." Like much of what he does, it's strategy to perpetuate the image of him as the beer man who Forrest Gumped his way into politics, and specifically to avoid looking like a politician who now strategizes to look like the beer man who Forrest Gumped his way into politics. Here, though, a tie was necessary as a gesture of respect. Hickenlooper fashioned the knot, shouldered closed the SUV door, and started across the blacktop.
He stopped abruptly. "Suntan lotion." He wanted to know if there was any in the SUV, but everything about the way he said it—so much talk about how his wife had been on him about making sure he applied sunscreen—made it seem as if that was not the reason he stopped. Instead, it appeared what he really needed was a moment, a little time to allow the GPS of his mind to recalibrate to his current coordinates. The trooper informed the governor that it was a "negative" on suntan lotion. I offered that I had some in my bag. Hickenlooper pivoted and returned to the SUV. He slathered on the cream, leaving faint white streaks on his face. He buttoned the top button of his shirt and marched off. His tie knot was loose, near the second button of his shirt.
Seated in the front row was a woman, a blonde wearing glasses. Her eyes were red, and her eyeliner was streaked by tears. She held a tissue and leaned against a trooper who was as tall and as sturdy as a ponderosa pine. The woman personified the mood. Per the briefing, this was Heather, and her husband, Samuel, was the officer killed recently in the line of duty: A suspected car thief fatally shot deputy Brownlee on November 23, 2010.
Adhering to the talking points, Hickenlooper first thanked politically key people on hand. He eventually got to the part where he was to acknowledge the details of the deaths of Brownlee and the six other honorees—the most important part of the speech—and it was here that he veered off script.
The governor noted that Blackhawk City Marshal Robert Clark died in 1869 in the territory of Colorado while serving an arrest warrant for a man who assaulted a cook, and that Las Animas County Sheriff Juan Tafoya had been killed in 1872 while trying to protect saloon patrons. Hickenlooper, who had made himself a millionaire several times over as a brewpub entrepreneur, looked up from the podium. It would have been obvious to anyone who knew him well that he was about to wing it. "The fact that both of these two people died protecting restaurant owners or tavern owners," he said, "is a coincidence that has nothing to do with my background."
You could almost hear the needle scratch off the record and feel the world bump to a stop. It seemed many of us in attendance were of the same mind: Did he just attempt…a joke? Hickenlooper paused. He slowly rubbed his right thumb across his left cheek. The thought bubble over his head was bright as neon: Well, that didn't go over like I thought it would. Matter-of-factly, Hickenlooper returned to the prepared facts. "Trinidad Officer John Solomon was killed…." He closed his remarks, doves were released, and, mercifully, it was over.
In the SUV, even before he clicked on his seat belt, he said, "Were you listening? Did you hear me try to make a joke?" He was disgusted with himself. The SUV was uncomfortably quiet. From the backseat I said, "I think it's clear you meant well." Hickenlooper cocked his head and I could see his left profile. He was perspiring, drained of color, his chipper and charm now absent; the faint, white suntan lotion streaks still visible on his face. He resembled a ghost of himself. Just then he noticed he'd never snugged up his tie knot. "I went out there like this?" He pushed his head against the headrest. "What was I thinking?"
The fact was that Gov. Hickenlooper was thinking many things. There was the Upstairs, the Asks, GEO, the Exit Ramps, the Brand, the Five Families, SB-159, SCR-1, the speaker and the president, the JBC, planes and not jumping, the maps, the future—his and the state's—to name just a few. Almost all of these things would have sounded like a bunch of meaningless bureaucratese to most people outside the Capitol. But, jargon aside, Hickenlooper knew each of these things actually meant a great deal to every resident of Colorado.
Of course, all of it was tied to the money—the budget. The budget was everything to Hickenlooper, and not simply because of practical necessity. Hickenlooper believed passing a balanced budget with bipartisan support was the key to beginning to restore the people's faith in state government—and to his ability to govern. He saw it as the foundation of his administration. Whatever lofty, altruistic agendas he had in mind didn't have much of a chance if he couldn't muster a bipartisan foundation on which he could build his legacy.
And on that day, only four months into his first term, none of it was going his way. Although Hickenlooper would never admit such things publicly—because he believed a part of his job was to project optimism, because optimism, like despair, can be contagious—there were private moments like this one when he wondered if he was really going to be able to pull off this governor thing the way he wanted. The trooper shifted the SUV into drive and, more to himself than to anyone else, said, "Back to the Capitol." Yes, back to the big gold dome—back to Hickenlooper, oh, you know, having the time of his life.

pfm is a terminal-based file manager written in Perl. All pfm commands can be invoked with one- or two-key commands. It features integration with version control systems, use of the ReadLine library for friendly command line editing, support for executing user-defined commands, colored filenames according to extension or type, a single-file and multiple-file mode, and bookmarks for directories.
selector is a command line utility for dynamic string selection. As you type a list of substrings separated by ";" or a regexp, the display is updated in real time to show only the matching lines. The main usage of selector is as an efficient search in the shell command history. With the correct option, it will inject the selected line into the terminal input buffer, allowing the user to edit the line and execute it as a standard command.
topvhost is a curses-based display of virtual host activity on a Web server. The display is created by monitoring a collection of server log files to show update time, update count, and selected fields from the last record of each file in a top-like presentation which can be sorted by last update time, update count, or domain name. Log file format and display columns are configured using an extension of the Apache LogFormat syntax. The collection of associations between domain name and log file is specified either by direct enumeration or a file system glob() pattern in those cases where the domain name is part of the log file path. These details are saved in an INI format configuration file in the user's home directory.
Chroma is an abstract puzzle game in which a variety of colorful shapes are arranged in a series of increasingly complex patterns, forming fiendish traps that must be disarmed and mysterious puzzles that must be manipulated in order to give up their subtle secrets. Initially, it is so straightforward that anyone can pick it up and begin to play, yet it gradually becomes difficult enough to tax even the brightest of minds. It features twenty-one levels, ranging from beginner to expert; infinite undo and redo capability, as well as replaying of solutions; a choice of smooth graphics or a minimal, text based version; and a level editor to allow you to design your own puzzles.
vitunes is a curses-based music player and playlist manager whose goals are a minimalistic appearance, strong vi-like bindings, and quick playlist creation/management. It does not strive to be a full-blown media player, but rather a full-blown media indexer and playlist manager. It uses MPlayer to support a wide range of media formats. It also makes use of TagLib for metadata extraction from many common formats.
hsh is a command-line driven user interface to your system with a full-screen curses interface instead of the scrolling terminal style output of traditional shells. The main purpose of hsh compared to a traditional shell is to make job output easier to work with. Each job's output is viewed and manipulated independently. This means, among other things, that you can incrementally create pipelines, and that a rampant process can't trash all the output of your session. Its syntax is designed for human use, not a programming language. It has a dynamic configurable interface, making useful information accessible.
An Openbravo appliance that is easy to use and lightweight.

May 23, 2013 - This little coin purse is beautiful and an amazing value for the price! I purchased the white mother of pearl, and gave it as a gift to my sister. She loves it and uses it as an evening bag it is so nice. Highly recommended!!
October 29, 2012 - I purchased one in gold and one in white (because the stitching doesn't cross over each square as it does on the red and brown versions). I bought both the "Square Deal" gold coin purse and the matching gold handbag and have gotten lots of compliments on the 'wow' they add to outfits. Buy matching sets, they are lovely separate and together!
