Hi..I'm sorta new here. (Joined over a year ago). I've noticed that several people "bump" their threads more than once per day, some have done it several times in one day.
Another site I belong to, doesn't allow bumping within 24 hours. What are the rules here at PBS about bumping threads in the Book Bazaar? Is there a way to report a post in which they violate the rules? At the other site I belong to, there are moderators and they keep things very organized and have set rules.
Not trying to hurt anyones feelings, I just don't think its fair to those who follow rules.
They aren't suppose to bump them but once a day. But no one normally says anything about it unless it's over abused.
In the Book Bazaar forum, there are currently two sticky threads (in red, at the top). The second one, on "how to use this forum" includes the rules on bumping.
Hmm. I've seen one in particular who bumped their thread 3 times (at least) today alone.
Just doesn't seem fair to me.
OMG, I just went back to check and I am one of them! I did it yesterday. Did not know that adding new information was considered a "bump". According to the instructions, I was supposed to edit my original post. For some reason, I thought they were just talking about when you write 'bump' in order to push it back up. Live and learn! I solemnly swear that I will never do it again, though!
I wonder if it would be worth it to separate the "looking for" postings from the book bazaar by giving them a separate forum? Keep the BB for sellers, and have a new one for members who are searching for certain books, genres, deals, etc.
They do that so everyone can have a chance to have their posts seen. I have seen people post a complain when someone has bumped more than once. You could gently remind the person.
What is "bumping"?
Bumping is replying to your own thread to get it back to the top of the forum.
I got a gentle reminder, and I promise not to bump more than once a day :)
I'm not very gentle. I tried to give a gal a gentle reminder the other day, and she didn't bother to read it so then I kinda smacked her. I've never been a very gentle person, I guess. I should copy the email that was sent to Coco, the sender was much nicer than me :) Bernie usually sends notices, but she is not available on the weekends, and someone was getting a little carried away the other day, so I posted a notice of the rules, and then when that didn't help, I commented again. Unfortunately, as I say, I was not as sweet as the PM that Coco got. I liked that one much more than my comments :)
Heather is probably referring to me. Like Dartha I didn't realize that posting anything but "bump" was a bump. I thanked the requestors who requested books from me in my post and didn't realize that was considered a bump. Guess I won't be doing that anymore! Sorry about that and thanks for letting me know Heather!
I offered, within a post, to help explain the rules to a gal yesterday, and she took me up on it and PM'd me. She really did not have an understanding of the rules. Of course they are right there to read, but not everyone does. So we've been PMing and she's getting it now. I hope. She felt really bad and simply didn't know how to streamline her intent to advertise her shelf. I think we've got it worked out now. I'll keep helping her if I haven't managed to make it clear. Here's hoping............:>)
Dartha; you said
"I wonder if it would be worth it to separate the "looking for" postings from the book bazaar by giving them a separate forum?"
The Book Bazaar has a monthly thread "December..What Books are you Looking For". It gets really good results. Check it out! www.paperbackswap.com/forum/view_topic.php
Yep, I pmed a few people about it. It was late at night, so I'm afraid I might've come off a little rude, but I didn't mean to. I was only frustrated, thats all. I apologize to anyone who felt I was being rude. :(
We all start somewhere...and don't know all the rules. I'm still learning too. The only reason I took it upon myself to pm a few people, was that this site doesn't seem to be moderated like another site I belong to is. On the other site, they are strict with their rules (to make it fair to everyone) and when you see someone violating the rules you can report the post, and that gets sent to the moderators who take action, probably even pm'ing the person to make sure the know what the rules are, etc.
Again, sorry if I stepped on any toes. Happy reading!
I am pretty new. I have, in the past, posted an update or two on threads (questions) that I started. I had no idea that this was a bump!! I kept wondering why, in the middle of threads, there were posts with just that word in it!
it is different if you are posting additional information or clarifying something or letting people know you got their orders and have pulled other books off of your shelf. I appreciate those sort of messages so if I'm looking at the shelf I know it is current and do not consider those a bump just to get it up near the top of the list
I dont think thank yous are considered bumps espespecially when the person already posted and your post is close to the top anyway. I generally say thanks if Im around to get the order and if they are orders I got while asleep I thank everyone who ordered since the last time I was in to bump my post up.
posting additional information and thank yous
Well, I am glad to see that I am not the only one who thought that....lol
I guess we learn something new every day
I'm glad this is being addressed a little more lately. The BB was getting pretty bad. I wouldn't even look at the shelves of people that were posting multiple threads and repeatedly bumping it annoyed me so much. Wasn't exactly the outcome they were looking for I bet.
Are the rules re bumping pretty much just for posting done in the Book Bazaar? It seems that in other forums such as CMT and Questions the original poster's participation in the ongoing dialog, even if it's bumping the thread, would be appropriate.
No, Kristen, most people don't post in their CMT or Q topics multiple times, just for the sole purpose of
for the sake of bringing it up to the top, multiple times in one day anywhere but in the BB (well and some do it in the games annoyingly too). Conversations bring them back up and that is considered normal in the other forums, and some "need to be noticed" topics do get bumped, but rarely more than once per day.
Love the acronym Sherry! Thanks for some new (to me) information. :->
You're welcome, Kristen! I didn't make it up, trust me! I just saw that no one had actually posted what it's generally meant to mean, and unless you've been told here or on another board somewhere, you would have no idea that it is actually an acronym.
Just bumping this so more people will see.

|I was trolling various Lowes today in search of a particular coreopsis for my mom (which I did eventually locate). I was overjoyed to find Agastache Summer Glow at my first stop. I had it two years ago and thought it did not survive. Long story short, it did but I did not figure that out until last fall. Meanwhile I searched all last summer for it and never did find it.
To be safe I bought two this time

The show was end, and got a exciting phone call.
An offer for the painting and got sold.
This will be big help for my museum trip in Paris next month.
Current Show_2009 Western Regional Exhibition
This time is in Seattle Area, and the gallery is one of my favorite galleries around here. I always see some good oil paintings in this gallery. I am happy to be part of the show and hope I can continue it!
I started this painting from February and keep working on it several times and still feel there are areas which need to be fixed.
Now this painting named "Temptation", no sure who is tempting whom. This is from one of old friends and feel this is a good name for it.

FREE 6-Day Mini-Course: How to Build Your First Profitable Website and Set Your Blog Up for Success From The Start!
100% Privacy. Guaranteed!
I know what it's like to have a vision but no idea how to bring that vision to life. All of us are limited by our particular set of experiences and we don't all have the same skill sets or area's of expertise.
If you haven't figured it out already nobody is an island unto themselves.
We all need help to accomplish our dreams and anyone who tells you otherwise is probably not being very forthcoming.
It's hard to be a "one man show". To be the "visionary", the "big picture" guy, and the "tech guy", and the web designer, web developer, accountant and everything in between.
Every successful person has had help and I mean EVERY SINGLE PERSON. Everyone has their particular area of expertise so I probably have knowledge of different tools and tactics that you don't.
It's not often that I consult with people 1-on-1, it just takes way to much time away from me producing content for members and staying active in the forums. But I know that a personal consulting session can have a real impact and help give you the knowledge and information you need to move forward.
With that being said, my availability is pretty limited and sessions are by application only.
If you are interested in having a 1-on-1 consultation, please fill out the application form as completely as possible. After I receive your application I will review it and get back to you personally.
Our call will be focused on the long term goals for your blog. Which means taking a look at where you currently are with your blog. We will come up with solutions and get past your pain points together. When we are done you will have a concrete action plan to move forward.
We will work together to get a clear and concise action plan moving forward so that you know exactly what needs to be done and in what order. The session is designed to empower you with the tools YOU need so you can stop wasting time going around in circles.

It was early morning Aug. 25, the first day of school. Three boys on bikes darted across the northbound lanes on South Orange Avenue in Orlando.
The boys -- fifth or sixth graders by the look of them -- balanced lunch boxes on their handlebars as they threaded their way through the morning rush- hour traffic. They headed north in the center turn lane, then made a break for the left side of the street where they continued pedaling alongside the oncoming traffic.


text: SO..... after sittignaround yesterday, the day I turned 33, having a lazy day just hanging with the Girls (my little girls), DH calls in the afternoon and asks me not to do anything for dinner - he is taking me out (not surprising, he usually takes me out for dinner on my birthday)...driver will pick me up in an hour and a half. Weird. It's only 3.30pm. How early does he want to eat dinner, for goodness sake? Anyway, then there's a knock at the door. My Mum. Here to mind the Girls while DH & I go out to dinner. FAB! I jump in the shower, make myself look reasonably presentable, considering the heat (38 degrees yesterday and again today in Sydney - 100.4 F - whew! - thank God for air conditioniong!). DH turns up at the door with the driver...off we go into the city..... ...wouldn't you know it, our driver takes a wrong turn to the SHeraton, where we were going for a pre dinner cocktail. DH says "don't worry Charlie, just let us out here" out we hop (I'm SPEWING about having to get out of the airconditioned car and walk in the heat!). Wouldn't you know it, we were almost right outside Hermes, but it was pretty close to closing time, so I didn;t suggest going in. I didn't have to. I suddenly discover DH has been in cahoots with my SA for the past week, organising a little after-hours shopping extravaganza, just for me! Whoo HOO!!! So, after talking and talking and talking we finally get down to business. My wonderful SA has put aside a few bags for me to select from...chevre....she knows I love it.....yum! SO, lucky girl that I am, I came away with a Bolide 31cm vert anis chevre, pall h/w...a matching scarf, carefully selected by my wonderful SA, a teapot that matches the porcelain I collect, and some other goodies for later! Oh, and did I mention the wonderful Barenia Trim II, 31cm, pall h/w? Well, I got that, too! Off DH & I go, practically skipping down Elizabeth street (well, DH refused to skip....) LOADED down with BIG ORANGE BAGS...AND I was carrying my Kelly....a walking (skipping) advertisement for Hermes!!!! LOL!!! DH then took me down to a wonderful restaurant at the very top of Customs House, outside, overlooking Sydney Harbour.....four courses...AND he let me bang on and on and on about Hermes all evening! He just sat there nodding and smiling!! I have such a great DH, he has always been great with surprises, but this one just took the cake! We went for a stroll after dinner while waiting to be picked up around the Sydney Opera House, and he took a pic of me standing there, grinning from ear to ear, holding these HUGE orange bags...will post that one later (waiting for DH to emal it to me). Here are the pics of some of my loot: Bolide 31cm Vert Anis Chevre, palladium hardware. Trim II 31cm Natural Barenia, palladium hardware. Limited Edition Watering Can cadena in sterling silver, year of the tree. Libres Comme L'air Scarf, green colourway, Annie Faivre.

To commemorate 270 years of quality, colour and artistic collaboration, DMC has commissioned a unique limited edition golden skein.
Each limited edition 24 carat golden skein is presented in a luxury embossed gift box containing:
numbered 24 carat gold metallised Mouliné skein
numbered certificate of authenticity
history of DMC
Each presentation box is beautifully embossed and embellished with gold leaf then sealed and individually hand-tied with double-face, metallic embossed satin ribbon.
Each skein of 24 carat gold DMC Mouliné is a mini, masterpiece of craftsmanship celebrating the thread that connects a passionate global community of embroiderers: DMC Mouliné Spécial.
In a strictly limited edition of just 17,460 worldwide, each skein and its corresponding certificate is uniquely numbered 00001 to 17460.
With a core of twisted silver and bathed in pure 24 carat gold, each 8m long skein weighs 5 grams (8m cotton skeins weigh 2 grams) and is wax-sealed by hand using a traditional technique.
Though a precious collectors item, the golden skein has the same soft flexibility of DMC cotton, and has very good resistance to oxidation in an unpolluted environment, so could be used to carefully embroider a very special project.
Accompanying each uniquely numbered golden skein, a hard-backed book tells the fascinating story of DMC. The gold-leaf embellished book also features reproductions of an historic DMC logo and images of some of the 15,000 textiles collected from around the world and mounted on 350 now famous black panels in the Archives of the City of Mulhouse.
Reflecting DMCs tradition of collaboration with design trailblazers, the book also reproduces nine of the original 19th century cross-stitch designs of Therese de Dillmont.

Lindberg's Goal, two Assists Help Pack Tie SeriesMay 11, 2015
Oscar Lindberg had a goal and two assists for the Wolf Pack Monday night, leading the Wolf Pack to a 3-1 win over the Hershey Bears in Game Four of the teams' best-of-seven, second-round playoff series, which is now tied at two games apiece.
The game was the second of two in the series played at the DCU Center in Worcester, MA, due to scheduling conflicts at the XL Center.
Joey Crabb and Ryan Haggerty also scored for the Wolf Pack, and Chris Bourque had two assists. Yann Danis stopped 22 out of 23 Hershey shots. The only Bear goal was scored by Jon Landry, and Philipp Grubauer made 29 stops in the Bear net.
The Wolf Pack dominated the first period, outshooting the Bears 14-7, and took the game's first lead with 3:49 remaining in the frame, on a goal by Crabb.
Thirteen seconds after a Wolf Pack power play expired, Lindberg snapped a shot from the right-wing side and Crabb deflected it past Grubauer.
Hartford added two more in a second period in which the Wolf Pack enjoyed a 12-5 shots advantage.
Lindberg made it a 2-0 lead only six seconds into a Wolf Pack power play at 8:45. With Steve Oleksy off for elbowing, Chris Mueller won an offensive zone draw to Bourque at the top of the slot, and Bourque fed to Lindberg, who one-timed a shot from the right-wing faceoff dot through a Crabb screen and high into the net past Grubauer.
That goal was Lindberg's first North American pro playoff goal, and Haggerty buried his first pro playoff tally at 13:09, to increase the Wolf Pack's lead to 3-0. Lindberg sent a long pass through the neutral zone to Haggerty, who got by the Bear defense and slipped a shot underneath Grubauer's pads.
After Crabb was foiled on a penalty-shot opportunity by Grubauer at 10:25 of the third period, Landry ruined Danis' shutout bid with a goal at 12:02 of the third, off a cross-slot feed from Chandler Stephenson.
Danis shut the door after that, though, and the teams now head back to Hershey for Game Five of the series, which is this Wednesday night, May 13. All the action of that battle can be heard live on Fox Sports Radio 1410, and on-line at www.foxsportsradio1410.com and iHeartRadio. Video streaming is available at www.ahllive.com.
The Wolf Pack will return to the XL Center for Game Six of the series, which will be this Friday, May 15, with faceoff at 7:00. Fans can reserve their tickets now for that game, at the Agera Energy Ticket Office at the XL Center, on-line at www.hartfordwolfpack.com and by phone at (877) 522-8499.

FAYETTEVILLE � Arkansas coach Mike Anderson was concerned about his team's free-throw shooting last week, when the Razorbacks missed attempt after attempt in a narrow win against Southeastern Louisiana.
FAYETTEVILLE � Arkansas coach Mike Anderson was concerned about his team�s free-throw shooting last week, when the Razorbacks missed attempt after attempt in a narrow win against Southeastern Louisiana.
Those concerns were alleviated, at least for one night, during the Razorbacks� 71-57 win against Eastern Kentucky in front of an announced crowd of 7,500 in Bud Walton Arena on Tuesday.
Arkansas (7-3) continued to struggle offensively (31.6 percent), but won its second-straight game thanks to a group effort from the stripe. The Razorbacks made 29 of 35 attempts (82.9 percent), leaning on the performance to improve to 7-0 at home.
�We didn�t shoot the ball particularly great, but one thing we did we got to the free throw line,� Anderson said. �And (Tuesday night), unlike other nights, we actually cashed in on it and made free throws.
�It was a big difference in a game like this.�
Guard Mardracus Wade led the Razorbacks with 13 points, including 7-for-10 from the free throw line.
Guard B.J. Young, looking much more comfortable off the bench after a tentative performance in his first start last Saturday, added 12 points. And forward Marvell Waithe scored a career-high 11 points, including a 7-for-8 effort from the free-throw line.
�I don�t think we�re not bad shooters,� Waithe said of the free throws. �Once we get to the line we�re capable of knocking free throws down.�
Arkansas needed every bit of it in a game that featured another opponent intent to dictate the pace.
Eastern Kentucky had its way with the slow-starting Razorbacks in the opening minutes, too, outscoring Arkansas 9-2. But it didn�t take long for the Razorbacks to settle in, create opportunities with their pressure defense and gain control of the game.
Point guard Julysses Nobles and forward Devonta Abron led the way early, pushing the Razorbacks on a 7-0 run to tie the game at 9-9. It was the start of a longer stretch in which the Razorbacks outscored the Colonels 30-9 to build a 14-point lead.
Arkansas got contributions from several sources during the spurt. Wade made baskets and knocked down free throws. Young came off the bench to score seven of his 12 points and Ky Madden added seven.
�Those guys had won three road games, so they know what it takes to win on the road,� Wade said of the Colonels. �We go through adversity all the time. My main thing was tell the guys to keep playing.�
�If we do what we do, we won�t have to worry about the other team.�
Arkansas stumbled again, though, and had to settle for a 39-30 lead at halftime. But Wade helped the Razorbacks push it back to double digits when he opened the second half with a 3-pointer.
Arkansas never lost its double-digit lead the rest of the night and Anderson believes Arkansas� pressure defense played a big role, forcing the Colonels to shoot 34 percent and turn the ball over 19 times.
But the Razorbacks struggled to put an opponent away for the second straight game after building a 19-point lead. The Colonels hung around, trimming the deficit to 10 points two times in the final 3 minutes.
�I thought they start playing not to lose,� Anderson said. �When you start playing not to lose you start trying to protect the lead. We�ve got to get to that point where we just continue to play basketball.
�When you get an ant down, you better kill it with a sledgehammer.�
Arkansas was fortunate it shot well from the free-throw line. The Razorbacks scored their final seven points from the stripe, knocking down 7 of 8 attempts over the final 4:34 to wrap up the win.
�Sometimes when your shots aren�t falling, you get to the line, it�s a blessing to see that ball go in the hole,� Waithe said. �It�s big.�
Arkansas made 14 more free throws than the Colonels (15 of 24). Fittingly, it was the margin of victory.
�We�re still doing what we�re supposed to do,� Wade said of the free throws. �Coach has been making us get 500 shots apiece every week and I think it�s starting to pay off. I think if we keep on working on free throws every day we�ll keep improving.�

Illusion Town
by Jayne Ann Krentz
Category: Mystery
With its opulent casinos and hotels, the desert city of Illusion Town is totally unique—and will take you on a thrill ride you'll never forget.
Hannah West isn't the first woman to wake up in Illusion Town married to a man she barely knows, but she has no memory of the ceremony at all. For that matter, neither does Elias Coppersmith, her new husband. All either can remember is that they were on the run…
With Hannah's dubious background and shaky para-psych profile, she could have done much worse. The cooly competent mining heir arouses her curiosity—as well as other parts of her mind and body. And even her dust bunny likes him.
But a honeymoon spent retracing their footsteps leads Hannah and Elias into the twisting underground catacombs, where secrets from both their pasts will come to light—and where the energy of their clashing auras will grow hot enough to burn…

Category: Magic
Josey Cirrini is sure of three things: winter is her favorite season, she's a sorry excuse for a Southern belle, and sweets are best eaten in the privacy of her closet. For while Josey has settled into an uneventful life in her mother's house, her one consolation is the stockpile of sugary treats and paperback romances she escapes to each night….

She even bonds with Chloe Finley, a young woman who is hounded by books that inexplicably appear when she needs them—and who has a close connection to Josey's longtime crush. Soon Josey is living in a world where the color red has startling powers, and passion can make eggs fry in their cartons. And that's just for starters.
Brimming with warmth, wit, and a sprinkling of magic, here is a spellbinding tale of friendship, love—and the enchanting possibilities of every new day.

When Carly Kenan joined the secretive Trinity Masters in college, she knew that one day she'd have to pay the piper. That day has come. Returning to Boston, Carly meets former Marine Lance Glassco, a mathematician for DARPA, and Preston Kim, a celebrated chemist. Though on the surface they have nothing in common, it's clear the Grand Master thinks that together the three of them can do something amazing. And that's why he's declared that Carly, Lance and Preston must unite. In a ménage.
Tempers flare as they struggle to understand each other, but their physical attraction is explosive, and the sex leaves all of them begging for more. Pushed beyond her limits, Carly runs from Lance and Preston. What she doesn't understand is that she now belongs to them, body and soul...and they belong to her, too. When Lance uncovers a dangerous crime in Preston's firm, Carly is caught in the crossfire and the struggling lovers are forced to move beyond desire...to trust.
The Trinity Masters have the power to make careers and change lives, but there's a price. All members know that the day will come when the Grand Master will select them, and pair them with two others. For the Trinity Masters the strongest bond isn't a pair, but a threesome.

Topic: Logic feature request
I really like the way that, in Cubase, you can use the central encoder to move between markers and create markers by pressing the encoder (pan mode).
Would it be possible to add this to the Logic plug-in? Tapping on the touch strip is great, but I find myself using the encoder method a lot when using Cubase.

Have I told you before how much I love recipe books! It's a secret obsession of mine. I'm addicted! Know one could ever stop me from buying the brand new healthy foodie style cookbook that lands on a shop shelf. I don't get through them all; some just sit pretty on my shelf and others I use daily over and over again. It's just a thing I have; I love to learn more and more about the tastes of mixing different foods, the health behind what's served up on a plate and the goodness that we can feed our family. Food is where it's at; it's survival. And books are like a private cooking lesson every single day; they are awesome!
I also love anything with beautiful pictures and pretty writing, housie style-books, full of inspiring décor or crafty business. I'm not a big novel reader; I never have been. I wish I was but my over stimulated brain can't be quiet enough to just rest and read. Haha.
Mother's Day is coming up quick and I thought it would be fun to share with you what's going on at bookworld as they have some great stuff happening for mums and I know at least 1 new cookbook will be on my Mother's Day wish list *.
Browsing their online store; my favorites would have to be;

– My Darling Lemon Thyme – Such pretty pictures and amazing whole food recipes!
– One Dish Two Ways: Feeding The Whole Family Without The Fuss – This is such a great concept. How many of you cater to a million different meal requirements every night?
– I Quit Sugar For Life: 148 Recipes + Meal Plans For Families And Solos – What's not to love about Sarah Wilson and her I quit sugar program and recipes. I have her kid's cookbook and it's amazing. I would love to have a read of this one too!

Well I hope I have inspired the bookworm in you just a little. And got you thinking about the next book you are going to sink your eyes into … What's on your mothers day wish list?
* The mothers day wish list that I may just have to purchase myself as its very hard to relay to a 3 year old who cant go shopping by herself. Haha!

Drive like an Italian
We rented a car for our recent 3-week trip to Italy and France. I was a bit apprehensive about driving in Europe, especially after watching this humorous web video. But my wife, Victoria, was experienced at driving overseas and confident we could handle it. Like most Americans, I like the freedom of movement that comes with a car and so readily agreed. Then while taking some white-knuckle taxi rides in Rome and walking the streets there, I began to wonder about the decision.
I'm glad I didn't worry myself out of trying my hand at the wheel and did listen to my wife. Driving in Europe was not only a good way to get around, it was a kick. Driving in Italy is like driving on I-95 through Georgia, except everyone has had two cups of expresso before taking to the road. Just view the lanes, speed limit signs and other indicators as mere suggestions, not rules of the road in some traditional sense, and you'll be driving like an Italian. It's a piece of cake, really.
So once we got our hands on the shiny new (only 5 kilometers on it) Alfa Romeo 159 and headed out onto the streets of Rome, it was love at first turning circle. Well almost. The challenge wasn't driving, but navigation through unfamiliar terrain with signs not always as clear and helpful as we would like.
But in Europe as here, travel is about the experience and the adventure. The journey is the thing, not a means to an end. So if we occasionally had to chart a new course to get to a place, then so be it. We rolled with the navigational issues as best we could and mostly got from point A to point B just like we thought we would.
Along the way we were able to venture far from the well-worn tourist routes to visit places that few tourists would ever find. Sometimes this meant fitting the large-for-Europe sports car into some very tight spaces, as we navigated ancient streets built with no thought to a car's width. Always, the rental car fit with our goal of being visitors rather than tourists and even allowed us to be taken as Italians by Italians on occasion. But more on that later.
This is where I should justify writing this with some nifty Gospel tie in. The problem is that "When in Romans, do as the Romans do" is more anti-Gospel than it is Gospel. Instead, I'll just say that even a priest can enjoy zipping along a winding Italian road sometimes doing well over what would be the posted speed limit in America. Maybe this isn't exactly teaching I'm doing at the moment. Perhaps this blog post is a confession.

Funky Hot Water Smell? 6 Signs Your Water Heater Needs to Be Checked By a Professional
Signs Your Water Heater May Need A Corpus Christi Plumber To Check It Out?
Have you noticed that something is off with the water in your house? Did it start slowly, almost intermittently at first? Perhaps some sputtering occurred every now and then when first turning on the tap, almost as if water had gotten trapped inside your pipes. Maybe everything is fine as long as you use cold water but as soon as you need it there's a hot water smell that causes you to forgo your morning shower.
Peculiar hot water smell is a pretty major sign that something is not right with your indoor plumbing system, and the culprit is most likely your hot water heater. Whether it smells like rotten eggs, rust, or something altogether unidentifiable, your water's odor is a clear indication of the health of the heating system. Read on to learn about six signs that your hot water heater needs to be inspected, and potentially replaced.
1. Discoloration in the Water
If the water coming out of your faucet either takes a moment to turn clear, or never turns clear at all, there may be a problem with your water heater. Watercolor can provide a major window into what's going on with your plumbing and maybe a sign you need to Get out from under the sink and Contact a Corpus Christi Plumber today.
For instance, the most common type of water discoloration is a yellowish-brown or a red coloration. This almost definitely means that there is rust in the water. Depending on the severity of the rust-level and length of time exposed to it, this doesn't have to because for immediate alarm. It's best not to drink this water, but the worst that it will do is potentially stain dishes and clothing.
- Pay attention to the smell when you examine the color. If the hot water smell is like rotten eggs, then rust is not the culprit. More on that soon.
- It's best not to drink this water, but the worst it will do is potentially stain dishes and clothing.
- Blue, green, and black water, on the other hand, has the ability to be very dangerous; especially if it's used as drinking water.
- Blue and green water usually point to eroding copper piping. This can be extremely toxic, even just upon repeated skin contact.
- Black-tinted water can mean the presence of black mold in your plumbing system, which often indicates the presence of black mold in your home at large.
- This has the potential to be very dangerous and an emergency plumbing service ought to be contacted as soon as possible.
2. Peculiar Hot Water Smell
Next, to color, hot water smell is the strongest indicator of problems with your water heater. And much like color, the type of hot water smell can indicate the issue that's occurring. For instance, if there is a strong rust smell when the spigot is turned to hot, this is a clear indication. you guessed it, there is some kind of rust build-up somewhere in your plumbing system – often in the water heater itself.
Often with age, the hot water heater will begin to break down. This is not an indication of a poorly constructed water heater, it is a natural occurrence that happens over time. As the water heater gets used its interior begins to break down, often due to rusting, and results in sediment that (when paired with heat) produces a rusty hot water smell. An unusual hot water smell can be completely benign. However, it sometimes ought to be treated like a flashing "danger" sign. This is particularly true of the rotten egg hot water smell. Usually associated with sulfur (which is why firework shows often leave the smell of eggs in the air), sulfur itself is not necessarily harmful. It has a variety of causes, including the breakdown of common entities found in water sources like sulfur-containing minerals and rock-beds, as well as decaying organic matter.
At this stage, the water is generally harmless. Sulfur acts as a natural deterrent because it smells and tastes so bad that it prevents people from drinking it. However, a faulty water heater creates what's called hydrogen sulfide gas by heating up the sulfur particles in the water. This is when things start to get dangerous. Prolonged exposure may cause nausea, tearing of the eyes, headaches," and in higher doses "Possible fatigue, loss of appetite, headache, irritability, poor memory, and dizziness
To summarize, it is natural for water to contain sulfur. But if you are experiencing a sulfuric hot water smell, that is a sign that your hot-water heater can be creating hydrogen sulfide gas, which is no laughing matter.
3. Strange Sounds from the Pipes
The first two warning signs discuss the notion of a build-up of sediment. An easy way for early detection of this problem is the presence of any kind of abnormal noises. Noisy pipes kind of come with the territory as houses age. However, loud ticks and pops should always be investigated, particularly if they're coming from the actual hot water heater itself and not just the pipes. This is often caused by the interaction between the heating mechanism and any kind of build-up. Common types of build-up include the aforementioned rust and sulfur-based compounds as well as calcium and lime residue.
Additionally, this is often a warning sign of further problems to come. Unusual sounds paired with a rotten-egg hot water smell indicate that the problem with your water heater will likely get worse. Here's how:
As the heater attempts to heat the water, the mineral deposits and build-up actually act as a sort of insulation for the water, which causes the hot water heater to have to work even harder to heat the water. This causes the water heater to overheat, which causes further damage. As this process continues and the hot water heater continuously overheats it causes metal fatigue. The ticking and popping sounds that can be heard throughout the house are very likely due to this process. Finally, (and leading to our next warning sign), this can cause the metal to weaken so much that the water heater begins to leak, or outright burst.
4. Water Build-Up Around the Heater
If you have noticed any kind of water build-up around your hot water heater, it is likely time to call for an inspection. That being said, it's worth going into the reasons why there may be water there in the first place. Unless the entire space containing heater is flooded (or if you're using a tankless heater), it is most likely that your hot water heater has sustained minor fractures. This is potentially due to stress, often from the tank's age, and is sometimes due to the overheating problem explained above.
There is also a natural scientific explanation for leakage. As metal is heated, it expands. This means that any kind of crack or fissure, no matter how small, has the ability to become a leak that is sizable enough to become a leak large enough for water to escape from while the tank is hot. Upon cooling, any cracks will most likely become unidentifiable, as the metal has contracted. This is something to keep in mind if a professional is coming to assess the damage to the hot water heater. It should be noted that cracks are a worst-case scenario. Often when there are leaks, it is simply because a fitting has come loose between two pipes. Consider examining the different fittings and connections Consider examining the different fittings and connections as well as the overflow pipe to be certain that nothing is loose. Once certain of that, it's most likely the problem lies with the hot water heater itself. At this point, it is probably time to contact a professional. Be sure to tell them of any other issues beyond leaking, like discoloration or an unpleasant hot water smell.
5. Hot Water Lasts for Less and Less Time
Large families or people with roommates know the drill when it comes to shower time: The early bird catches the hot water. At least this is the case with a malfunctioning hot water heater. While the size of a home's hot water heater tank certainly impacts how many showers it takes before there is no longer any hot water, a sufficient supply of heated showers ought to be relatively easy to achieve. Popular water heaters traditionally use a tank that spans anywhere from thirty to fifty gallons in size. Electricity or gas is used to heat the water, which is then piped to the various output devices in your home.
A fifty-gallon tank ought to be enough for a large family to shower with hot water. The problem, though, goes back to much of what has already been discussed: sediment. Much like strange hot water smell, a hot water heater's steadily declining ability to heat water sufficiently has to do with a build-up of sediment in the tank. Effectively creating a layer of insulation, sediment gathers at the bottom of the tank and prevents the heat source from reaching the water. As discussed, this causes the heater to overwork itself, which results in leaks. Other factors to keep in mind are that, if a steady use of the heater creates sediment build-up, the more the hot water heater is used the more likely it is to give out on a shorter timeframe.
With that in mind, you may consider washing dishes with warm instead of scalding hot water if replacing a heater isn't a possibility right now. That being said, the ultimate goal is to have a hot water heater that allows for an entire family to take a hot shower and the dishes to be cleaned with hot water. These problems are all very clearly related to each other and often have no remedy besides replacement.
6. Your Hot Water Heater Is Older Than You
Most water heaters are designed to last for 10-15 years. As noted, this lifespan varies based on the frequency of use. Like any appliance, though, it's important to keep in mind that routine maintenance and proper care can prolong its life. There are packages companies offer to assist with maintenance and inspection. If moving into a new home, you may consider asking the previous owners how old the water heater is. If you missed the opportunity to do that, no problem. There are other ways to identify the age of your heater.
All water heaters have what's called a "rating plate" on the back. This list of information includes mechanical data that will be more helpful to a repair person than to you and some info that will be very helpful indeed. The make and model, for example, can help to determine the age of the heater. Additionally, the rating plate will have the device's serial number listed. Using these pieces of information and the website linked to above, determining the age of your hot water heater is a relatively straightforward process.
Even if none of the above warning signs have presented themselves, if you determine that your hot water heater is more than fifteen years old it may be time to consider getting a new one. At the very least, reach out for some advice from a pro.
Time to Call a Professional
If at least three of the above issues are true about your water, it's probably time to call a professional. If your hot water heater has created a sustained sulfuric hot water smell, the urgency of contacting a professional cannot be overstated. One of the main reasons to bring in a professional (despite whatever it is that has been ingrained into the DNA of the human man that causes him to think he can fix any and all plumbing issues) is it's incredibly difficult to pinpoint the source of the problem.
It's very possible, especially in the case of a nasty hot water smell, that the water heater is to blame and it needs replacing. It's also possible that it's the piping. Now, most homes have a surprisingly large network of pipes, and it's possible that patches of the insides of some of the pipes are causing the problem. Something like this can't be identified from the outside. The third possibility is that there's something wrong with the water source itself. Studies show that the country draws its water from vastly different supplies.
It takes a professional to identify if the problem lies with the water source itself and, if so, whether that water source is a well, a cistern, a pond, or a public supplier. So rather than taking on what can amount to a significant health risk by yourself, why not work with a professional to remedy a problem that requires a professional solution?

Red Canyon Conference Rooms
Ruby's Inn is set to host its 33rd annual Bryce Canyon Winter Festival, which will be held President's Day weekend, Feb. 17-19. The event will feature several free and paid family-friendly clinics, demos, tours and activities, including a balloon glow after dark—an activity that was introduced at last year's festival.
"One reason we hold the Winter Festival is to provide opportunities for visitors to enjoy the beautiful
winterland of Bryce Canyon Country," Deanna Moore, Winter Festival director at Ruby's Inn, said. "The festival is a great yearly tradition that has seen a lot of success—it not only gives our guests dozens of great activities to participate in, but also showcases the unique winter scenery of Bryce Canyon."
"We've had several people ask if we are still having the festival with the low amount of snow, but I tell
them that 90 percent of our activities are not dependent on weather, so plan on coming." Moore said.
Some of the outdoor activities included in the three-day festival schedule are cross country ski tours,
archery clinics, snowshoe tours and ski clinics. In addition, the festival highlights several indoor activities for those looking to stay out of the cold. These activities include photography clinics, dance instruction, pottery making, photo contest, crafts for kids, kayaking demos, watercolor painting, cookie decorating and family history clinics.
Adventurers will also find several other activities at the Winter Festival. A complete schedule of event
activities can be found here. "We want everyone who attends to feel like they have plenty to do," Moore said. "The various activities ensure that kids, teenagers and adults will all be entertained."
Aside from the activities available at the Winter Festival, Ruby's Inn also provides additional adventures that are available all winter long. These activities include outdoor ice skating, horse-drawn sleigh rides, horseback riding and cross-country skiing.
Depending on weather conditions, events at the Winter Festival are subject to change; however, the
event will still be held regardless of snow levels. Those wishing to sign up for competitions or who are

Click here to learn more about the Rules of the Job Training Fund.
The Job Training Fund is eligible to businesses located in New Hampshire and businesses intending to locate in the State, and who pay quarterly taxes into the NH Unemployment Trust Fund. Businesses that make voluntary (reimbursable) contributions are not eligible. Local, county and state political subdivisions are not eligible for the program. Temporary worker agencies will be categorized as the employer of record if thy are contracting with a company to supply temporary workers, and as such must meet the requirements of a company in good standing. The temporary worker agency must be included in the application.
The Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH) is the "vendor of first resort" and Job Training Fund applicant companies must first review their training needs with their local community college. All potential Job Training Fund applicants must first contact Mr. Phil Przybyszweski at 603-206-8185 or email@example.com.
Training programs may include, but shall not be limited to: structured, on-site laboratory or classroom training; basic skills; technical skills; quality improvement; safety; management and supervision; English as a second language.
Unallowable costs include: Salaries, wages, bonuses, and benefits of employees in training; In-kind contributions; administrative or entertainment expenses; and costs resulting from violation of or failure to comply with federal, state, or local laws and regulations; and costs or portions of costs resulting from training programs completed or started prior to the date of grant approval.
All Program Development Costs must be itemized and such costs are limited to 20 percent of instructor fees.
Funds for training grants shall supplement, and not replace, funds available through existing programs conducted by the business entity, or other public or private training programs. This fund does not cover training programs required by state or federal law, and does not replace established company programs such as tuition reimbursement programs.
Employees who are either residents of New Hampshire, or who work at the business that is located or intends to locate within the state, can receive training from the fund.
A minimum 1:1 cash match is required. Ineligible matching funds include salaries, wages bonuses and benefits of employees in training; in-kind contributions; administrative or entertainment expenses; and costs resulting from violations of, or failure to comply with federal, state or local laws and regulations.

The application is provided to grant review committee members who will review each grant. At a regularly scheduled monthly meeting, the grant review committee will meet to review the application, and a contact person representing the applicant will attend to answer any questions by the committee. A recommendation regarding funding will be made by the committee to the Commissioner of Resources and Economic Development.
It takes approximately one month from the time the grant recommendation is approved by the Commissioner of DRED to when the Office of Attorney General approves a contract that includes signatures from the Commissioner and the Company. No training funded by this program can begin before a fully signed contract between the Job Training Fund and the company is in place. Applicants should consider submitting an application at least two months before actual training will begin.
Training funds are distributed on a cost-reimbursement basis.
The company must submit a training grant evaluation report after completion of the training program. The final evaluation is included in Section II of the contract. A company cannot be accepted for a Job Training Grant unless they have submitted a final evaluation on previous grants.

Yankees' Aaron Judge: Smacks sixth homer Aaron Judge Jersey Sale
Judge went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk, three RBI and two runs scored Saturday against the Blue Jays.
Judge's home run was a two-out, two-run shot in the third inning off Marcus Stroman. The slugger is starting the year by posting numbers even better than those that earned him a second-place finish in the AL MVP race last season, hitting .338/.472/.634 through 89 plate appearances. His .419 BABIP suggests things will cool off somewhat, though his ability to absolutely crush the ball lends itself to higher-than-average BABIPs, as his career figure stands at .356.

How Yankees' Aaron Judge just made history, passed Mark McGwire New York Yankees Jerseys For Sale
Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge made history Monday.
His solo homer in the 12-1 win over the Marlins at Yankee Stadium gave him 60 for his career. He reached the mark in 197 games — or five less than Mark McGwire, who previously was the fastest to 60 bombs.
Afterward, Judge gave a typical Judge answer. Basically, he wasn't impressed.
"Happy to add another run to the board and help our team win," Judge said.
The blast gave Judge four on the season. He went 2-for-4 on the night to up his batting average to .351 with a 1.093 OPS.
Manager Aaron Boone said Judge "kind of sets the tone" before explaining what's made him so impressive in his most recent run.
"I talk to you guys all the time — at-bat quality," Boone said. "His at-bat quality has been through the roof every time. Whether he makes an out. Whether he gets on base. Whether he goes deep. Whatever it is. The pitcher has got to work really hard and make all his best pitches if you're going to retire him. It seems like time and time again he just grinds you down and he's in a really good place up there. at the plate right now."

Consumer moods change with the seasons and this influences which topics drive engagement on Social Media. The arrival of Spring has led to increased usage of alcohol-related hashtags – making #dryjanuary a distant memory. The implication: the time has now come for Alcohol-brands to step up and focus on organic engagement.
Despite the huge potential to generate organic engagement on Instagram (#cocktails, and #drinks were both top performing hashtags associated with #spring), on the whole alcohol brands remain focused on paid-media channels like Facebook.
However, the last few weeks have seen a positive change – brands are increasingly branching out and using more than just category specific hashtags. The chart below shows the hashtags used most frequently in the alcohol category – our Trend Pulse indicators highlight that the traditionally popular category hashtags such as #cocktails and #beer, have been knocked off the top spots as brands play on events like St Patricks Day, and on the season.
Hovering over the indicator on the left of the hashtag reveals how it's position in the chart has changed compared to the previous period.
This relatively new approach of using non-alcohol specific tags has helped to boost engagement of brands willing to use them. The chart below shows the most engaging hashtags used by alcohol brands and its clear that events, seasonally relevant tags and daily rhythms were all driving engagement.
The explanation for this is simple – incorporating trending cross-category and consumer hashtags helps branded content to reach new consumers – so why isn't everyone doing it? The simple answer, is up until now the majority of brands have remained preoccupied with paid engagement.
The prominence of the lighting bolt indicator (showing that the hashtag is a new entrant to the chart), shows that this category is still in the very early stages of exploring which topics drive engagement. Contrastingly, socially advanced categories such as Cosmetics show a large number of red and green arrows, as proven ER boosting hashtags jostle for top position.
Potentially the increased use of non-category specific hashtags marks a turning point for the category. One thing's for sure – the opportunity to boost sales by generating organic engagement is undeniably there for the taking and it will be interesting to see which brand moves first!

Chicken Pot Pie
Yesterday morning I woke with two sick little boys. It always makes me sad for my babies when they are not feeling their usual sprite selves. They have a nasty cold and are plagued with a lingering fever. My boys are troopers, though. They certainly do not want to admit they are sick, but whenever they curl onto the couch and cover up, I know they are feeling their worst.
I remember as a child, my mother would dote over me when I was under the weather. She would rent several movies, make a "bed" on the couch with lots of comfy and warm blankets and curl up with me. We would watch those movies all day long. She would even make me a special meal when I was able to eat. I try to carry that tradition over with my boys. This time, both came down with the crude at the same time. I would rather tackle their bug together anyday! After a day of care giving and running an infirmary at our house, I need a massage!
Tonight, I made the boys some homemade chicken pot pie. It was sprinkled with love to help them feel better soon! Do you have a favorite "feel better" meal that your parent or loved one makes for you when you are sick? Even if you feel miserable, that meal can lift your spirits brighter. I hope you all are staying well this winter. Here is a recipe for my oldest's favorite feel good meal, Chicken Pot Pie.
Chicken Pot Pie
2 chicken breasts, cooked ( I bake mine, but you can cook however you prefer)
2 tbsp. olive oil
3 carrots, peeled and diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1/2 medium onion, diced
1 cup frozen or canned kernal corn (drain if canned)
1/2 cup frozen sweet peas
2 1/2 cups chicken broth (low sodium)
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tbsp. italian seasonings
1 tsp. garlic
2 bay leaves
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1 puff pastry
*While the chicken is baking, saute in a saucepan or dutch oven, carrots, onions and celery in olive oil over medium-high heat. When veggies start to get tender, add seasonings and bay leaves. Continue to cook about 2 more minutes, stirring throughout. Add 2 cups of broth to veggies, reduce heat to med-low. Add cornstarch to remaining half cup of broth, stir until mixed. Add cornstarch mixture to veggies and broth. Reduce heat to low. Simmer for 10 minutes. Shred the chicken. Add to veggie mixture. Pour the chicken and veggie mixture into a deep dish pie pan. Place puff pastry over chicken mixture. Bake at 350 degrees until bubbly and the pastry is golden brown.

The Mr. and I will be homeowners as of January 15, 2012. So excited! It's in the lovely Westmount area of Edmonton. It's an older home, so it will need a lot of TLC over the years (even though the inside has been nicely renovated). I am going to try and document our homeownership (is that a word) via a blog. If you're interested you can follow at www.thisoldedmontonhouse.blogspot.ca
Happy holidays to everyone!
