How often do you inspect your economizer?
It can be easy to put this equipment on the deferred maintenance list because it's not always obvious if something is malfunctioning. But simply inspecting and testing the unit once or twice a year can save money and energy.
Check these six potential trouble spots to make sure your economizer is still working as hard as it can for your facility.
1) Check the Dampers
The dampers are a common source of economizer problems and can sometimes get stuck, leading the rest of your HVAC system to consume more energy trying to compensate. Your economizer maintenance should absolutely include a comprehensive visual inspection of all things damper-related to make sure the components are in working order.
"Maintenance on the dampers would consist of checking the operation of the actuator, which opens and closes the damper. Check the dampers' adjustments to make sure they fully open and close," recommends Wayne Drooks, senior associate and mechanical group leader for Integrated Design Group. "Also check for broken linkages between the actuators and the damper blades themselves – sometimes they fail. The blades can get jammed, either through debris that's been pulled in or corrosion in certain environments."
The seals at the ends of the blades should also be checked regularly because they wear out over time, Drooks adds.
"If you put off maintenance and the dampers don't operate properly, you'll lose the efficiency on your economizer and won't realize the savings you should have," Drooks says. "You're basically throwing money out of the window."
2) Calibrate Sensors
Your economizer's sensors determine when the dampers should open or close and by how much, so it's important to make sure they're functioning correctly. A two-way radio and a coworker are needed to test the sensors, explains Dave Moser, senior engineer for PECI.
"One person is actually at the sensor with a handheld instrument to measure the value at the sensor, and the other person reads the value at the control system at the same time. If there's a big difference, the sensor might need to be either calibrated or replaced," Moser explains. "Some facilities can tolerate larger differences in the values, but mission critical and high-tech facilities have tighter tolerances for their sensors."
Also pay attention to the physical location of the sensors, Drooks recommends. This can affect their accuracy.
"Not only do they need to be recalibrated, but proper location of the sensors is important," Drooks says. "Sometimes they're just not put in the right place or the outside air temperature sensor might be in the sun, a shaded location, or an exhaust outlet from the building where it wouldn't read the right temperature."
3) Test Controls and Sequences
Next, ensure that the control sequence is working properly and adjust the setpoints to achieve the most efficient operation. It helps to have a second person help out with this task as well, Drooks explains.
"If the control system is commanding the dampers to open or close, your system at the workstation may be telling you they're open or closed, but you don't actually know until someone goes and watches it," Drooks explains. "Also, look at what's going on in your building when you adjust the operating setpoints. Can you raise that return air temperature a little bit and get more hours of cooling?"
"In an office space, the return air would be around 80 degrees F. because you're trying to keep the space at 70," Drooks explains. "In a computer room or data center, you could have the return air temperature run up to 90 to 95 degrees F., where it's at least giving you some partial cooling. You can increase the number of hours per year that the economizer operates, and ultimately you're saving money by expanding your acceptable conditions."
This part of the inspection should also include a brief check to make sure no one has overridden the damper controls, Drooks adds.
"One big thing that happens in a lot of buildings is that the operators disable the outside air dampers closed because it's cheaper to run the units on full air recirculation than outside air," he says. "That only requires a simple inspection."

Posted on 12/05/2012 3:58:54 PM PST by ButThreeLeftsDo
Police are investigating after a 2-year-old child was allegedly shot dead by another child.
Police said the shooting happened in Minneapoliss Riverside neighborhood on the 1900 block of 7th Street South. They were called to the scene just before 1 p.m.
Authorities said the 2-year-old child was pronounced dead in the ambulance at the scene before he could be taken to the hospital.
According to Minneapolis Police Sgt. William Palmer, the toddler was shot by his 4 year old brother who was playing with a firearm.
Michelle Prestegard is a neighbor and witnessed the toddler receiving CPR.
I saw the baby on the ground, on the grass next to the front steps and I saw paramedics performing CPR on the baby for quite a while, said Prestegard. They then stopped the CPR and then they picked him up. He had shorts and a T-shirt on. His body was just limp. His arms and his little legs fell back and they rushed him into the ambulance and the ambulance never left.

Yeah, prison. That'll teach 'em!
I do not understand how a four year old has an possible access to a gun. This is the type of abuse of fire arms that I hate.
They needed a little bit of the "gun culture" in their house. No one in the gun culture would advocate leaving a loaded gun where a 4 year old can get at it.
This is a typical news story about guns. There isn't enough information to make a decision concerning what happened. The action of most handguns is too stiff for a small child to operate. It doesn't say whether the handgun was an automatic or a revolver.
They have received a stiff penalty.
You're right. There is very little information in the article.
Much is yet to be discovered, but one has to wonder WHY there was a loaded gun, accessable, in a home with four children ages 1-5.
Let's see, this should be good for 437 more articles discussing the inherent danger of firearms, 432 of which will delete any mention of culpability on the part of the parental units who allowed the 4 yo to get his hands on the gun.
Can't you just feel this movement growing...we need 3-4 more tragedy stories to come out, and then another anti-2A group to form with massive funding, with new messaging to come out, and they will work this and work this again and again.
Obviously, the 2 yo should have been aborted, right?
Police say the 4-year-old was playing with a handgun he had found in a bedroom when the shooting occurred.
Sgt. William Palmer confirmed both of the boy's parents were both home at the time of the shooting. Three of the couple's children — 1-year-old, 4-year-old, and a 5-year-old that was not home at the time — are now in protective custody.
Homicide investigators have been assigned to the case and are interviewing the parents, but no arrests have been made. Once complete, the investigation will be referred to the Hennepin County Attorney's Office for possible charges against the parents.

The parents or whomever let the kids have access to the gun should be charged with murder of a child.
maybe....just maybe, the gun had to be handy because the parents were gang-bangers...in the drug business, whatever. Not all guns are in the hands of law abiding citizens for their personal protection!! Let's wait and see...
Don't forget to take our guns away, Bob Costas.
Don't forget to take our guns away, Bob Costas.
And just watch them blame the "evil malicious gun."
I have children ages 1, 5, and 9... There is at least one loaded gun near you no matter where you are in my house.
My children learn early that some tools are very dangerous. If they want to see them, they ask first. I take the mystery out of it for them and always emphasize safety.
Of course, I'm not a thug life gangster, or a bed-wetting ninny that treats tools like a forbidden secret.
You cant't childproof the world, but you can do a lot to world proof your children.
Even s an adult I do not keep my guns loaded in my house
Like these parents?
some people are just too stupid to own guns, have kids, vote, etc.
You must live in an impenatrable home. Those weapons are useless to you as defensive weapons.
I raised 5 in a house with a loaded gun in almost every room including garage. They were taught early on to respect them. They never once touched them without permission. We spent hours in the pasture learning to respect and use them. It is entirely the parents' responsiblity. Keeping them empty achieves nothing.
Even s an adult I do not keep my guns loaded in my house
I hope you never have to need it. Home invasion,crazed meth user,etc. Mine is always loaded and ready.
"A toddler shot dead by a four-year-old is a tragedy because of the gun, but over 700,000 unborn babies in the past year killed by their mothers is a constitutional right because of a few demented justices on the Supreme Court.
To put it in more perspective, since 1968 or so, there have been over 800,000 murders in the United States. Over roughly the same number of years, there have been over 53,000,000 abortions in the United States. In other words, for each murder there have been over 66 abortions. Any time you hear anyone refer to males being disproportionately involved in murder and, thus, the more violent of the sexes, point out that women are involved in the taking of human lives, especially innocent human lives, at a rate that is at least 6600% greater than men."
"in the drug business"
Kinda where I'm going with this...
"Even as an adult I do not keep my guns loaded in my house"
I do. But, I'm the only one here.
Let's see...the Riverside neighborhood, children 1, 2, 4 and 5, parents are home and an unattended gun in a bedroom. Were the parents expecting a delivery and I don't mean the Fedex guy?
Does make one wonder if they were legal to carry?/s
Poor little kid(s). Throw their animal parents in jail for a long time.
I live in a different neighborhood than you do. If I lived in your part of the country I would be prepared as you are.
I agree that it is the parents responsibility. I grew up in a house with guns and they were not loaded and didn't need to be until we were going to go shoot them.
I am curious how you explain to a one year old not to touch a gun....loaded or otherwise.
Being a good parent with loaded guns entails a certain level of common sense. The gun(s) should be at least in a location that your average 5-6 year old or younger cannot reach. Examples: gun cabinets, closet shelves, top of book shelves, concealed in night stand drawers etc... I in no way advocate having weapons lying on coffee tables, on top of items in a night stand drawer and the such.
Our toddlers had no access to our room via baby gates and we actually had a half door on one room.
That said you start training them early on similar to handling hot kitchen items by utilizing negative reinforcement until you recognize an a state of cognizance starting to appear. Couple that with realistic tv and game access where shooting and death are not in the realm of fantasy.
Turn 'em in, or have 'em taken!
Liberal solution to one gun owner's stupidity.

Margaret Preston – Australian printmaker
18 December 2004 – 10 April 2005
The National Gallery of Australia presents Margaret Preston – Australian printmaker, a comprehensive exhibition featuring an extraordinary collection of the artist's etchings, woodcuts, Masonite cuts, monotypes and stencils from 1920–1956. It also includes personal items selected from the Gallery's rich research archive.
Margaret Preston (1875–1963) is most widely known for her vibrant, decorative paintings and prints of distinctively Australian subjects (flowers, birds, animals and landscapes) that have delighted the Australian public since they were first exhibited in the early 1920s.
For many years an autobiographical essay provocatively titled From eggs to Electrolux formed the basis of our knowledge of Preston's early life. However, research by many art historians has shown that what Preston wrote did not always tally with fact. On her marriage certificate, for example, she reduced her age by some eight years, making herself slightly younger than her husband!
The National Gallery of Australia has contributed much to this new research by its acquisition of documents relating to the artist's life. This outstanding archive contains, among other items, the artist and her husband's passports, notebooks with writings on colour theory and screen-printing, photo albums documenting their travels from the 1930s to the 1950s, and even a recipe scrapbook from the artist's childhood.
These insights into Preston's life have led to a reappraisal of the artist's work. The colourful woodcuts of views of Sydney Harbour, vases of Australian flowers, and birds and animals that she produced in the 1920s remain her best-known work. Conversely, Preston's relocation from Sydney to the small community at Berowra on the Hawkesbury River (1932–39) changed her art radically. Here she came to understand the fundamental form and spiritual nature of Australia's ancient landscape. She joined the Anthropological Society of New South Wales, studied the art of Aboriginal Australians and immersed herself in the theoretical writings of the great Chinese landscape painters. The landscape became the prime theme for her later, mature works.
Roger Butler, Senior Curator, Australian Prints and Drawings said: 'the prints produced when in her 80s are her most profound. In them Preston has imbedded the experience of a lifetime, fusing together her ideas to create a unique vision of the Australian landscape, both physically and spiritually'.
The exhibition coincides with a revised and expanded edition of The prints of Margaret Preston: a catalogue raisonné,which details and illustrates all of the artist's printed work, to be released in early 2005.

Thanks for jumping in luigi
The next time I attempt a long room temperature fermentation along the lines discussed in this thread, I think I will cut the yeast in half, to 1/512 teaspoon of IDY, and see what happens.
"For this pie I took the jar of yeast and just showed it to the dough ball. I placed it next to the ball for 30 seconds, so the dough could get acquainted with the yeast, then I put the yeast back in the fridge. The pizza was very good! Next time I'm going to try just saying "yeast" 3 times while I am kneading..."
Well, I am getting one going. two actually, one to use if it works and one to measure expansion with. Here is what I am doing.Flour (100%):Water (62%):Salt (1.5%):Total (163.5%):550 g | 19.4 oz | 1.21 lbs | TF = N/Arated absorption of flour, median amount of salt. all room temp ingredients, apx 75 degrees, 10 min mix. theen move to unconditioned room for X hours, should be about 80 tonight and 90 tomorrow. finished dough temp was 80.5 degrees. We'll see what happens with this basic experiment.
Peter, I am seeing some pinhole size bubbles up against the glass cylinder that I am using to judge expansion, but little to no expansion yet. Thanks for the tip though, talk abould a non traditional autolyse -marc

|In response to Re: hot water
clebo: Your complaint of insufficient hot water indicates to me a lower element or thermostat
replacement is needed....Bud
I read one of your previous msgs regarding hot water problems from a women who had a 6yr. old 40 gallon tank. Mine also is a 6yr. 40 gallon tank and my dip tube was replaced. However, the problem of not enough hot water is still a problem. They actually stated that the dip tube in our unit did not dissolve, but they replaced anyway.
: Just two mornings ago, I filled the tub about half way for my son's bath. I usually only fill about 1/4, but we had to go downstairs while it filled and it was somewhat more than usual. However, the next morning my husband took a 5min. shower and I took a 10 min shower, both using our 2gallons per min shower head, and there was no more hot water for my son's bath. I mean not a drop. We did not use our washing machine, dishwasher, and we did not wash dishes by hand.
: We also clean the scum from the bottom of the tank monthly now.
: What is happening? Do we need a new tank or could there be something else wrong with it.? Help?

It has the names of all her children and their children, some friends (or else family member I don't know), and towns in the area embroidered on it. She also put some Bible verse on the quilt. I would love to know why these verses meant enough to her to put them on the quilt. She died August 1981, early in my senior year in medical school, from peritoneal carcinomatosis. She didn't have much trust in doctors/hospitals, so when she finally sought help and surgery was done, it was an open and then close. Her abdomen was completely seeded with tumor. My Aunt Earlene doesn't know what the primary was and her death certificate doesn't say either.

more nutritious food
better selection
Question 2 of 30
Organic products haven't been exposed to pesticides or herbicides.
In the U.S., the organic label doesn't necessarily mean the food has never been treated with poisons meant for bugs or weeds; in some cases the toxins may be much lower, though.
Question 3 of 30
How do you ensure that the fish you are eating is organically grown?
You can't.
Seafood regulations are behind the curve when it comes to the organic revolution.
call the company
check online
Question 4 of 30
Compared to conventional farming, how does the yield for organic farming compare for major cereal crops like corn and wheat?
10 percent higher yield
25 percent lower yield
Industrialized farming also creates higher yields for vegetables, such as broccoli.
about the same
Question 5 of 30

Question 6 of 30
Compared to conventionally-grown food, how does organic food taste?
the same
Organic foods, in general, taste just like their conventional counterparts.
Question 7 of 30
What's a benefit to purchasing organic meat?
Animals are humanely killed.
Animals have fewer antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Industrialized farms rely heavily on antibiotics, which can eventually lead to resistant bacteria.
Animals have fewer prion diseases.
Question 8 of 30
Thoroughly washing conventionally-grown foods essentially makes them organic products.
Modern pesticides penetrate foods and are impossible to totally remove.
Question 9 of 30
Organic foods are healthier for humans.
In cases where the product has fewer pesticides, this may be true; the foods in general are not more nutritious.
Question 10 of 30
In which year did the USDA publicize the phrase, "Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food?"
The government has been slow to accept the organic revolution but is making headway towards educating consumers.
Question 11 of 30
What percentage of industrially-produced pork and chicken may have antibiotic-resistant bacteria?
about 10 percent

It's debatable.
In some cases, those pesticides might be even more harmful than those used for conventional farming.
Question 13 of 30
If you shop at a local farmer's market, how do you confirm that a product is organically produced?
Ask the farmer.
Your best bet is to ask the vendor … and hope that they tell the truth.
Call the USDA.
Look for certification at the stall.
Question 14 of 30
Organic foods generally contain less what?
Producers typically cut way back on preservatives or other additives common in conventional foods.
Question 15 of 30
How are the safety requirements for organic foods different from those applied to conventional foods?

Even if the label doesn't specify "grass-fed," organic regulations require that grass be the centerpiece of the animal's diet.
cereal grains
liquid supplements
Question 17 of 30
In what year was the term "organic farming" first published?
It appeared in a book called "Look to the Land," which described a throwback approach to farming.

zero percent
Absolutely no growth hormones are allowed for organic meats.
5 percent
10 percent
Question 22 of 30
What dollar amount in sales must producers exceed before their organic products require USDA certification?
So even small-scale growers must pass rigorous USDA standards in order to get the organic label.
Question 23 of 30
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) can never be used in organic products.
This goes for both animals and plant seeds.
Question 24 of 30
Which country is the world's largest market for organic milk?
United States
A series of milk scares (which killed a few babies) caused Chinese consumers to embrace the concept of organic milk.
Question 25 of 30
Why do many companies resort to a label that says "100% Natural" instead of "100% Organic?"
It's easier.
Foods labeled as natural do not have to endure the scrutiny of organic foods.
Consumers don't care about the differences.
The government considers them to be equal.
Question 26 of 30
Why do organic foods often cost more than conventional foods?
They require more labor.
Pest control products are more expensive.

okay sandal
"I am a true 7 1/2, so I ordered an 8 .The strap closest to the ankle is a bit too big, so it tends to dig into the top of my foot. I have pain in the ball of my foot, so the support offered by the rigid sole is a plus for me. The foot bed is smooth and soft, but not cushiony. I can't say I notice anything special about the copper plates. Overall, this is a well constructed shoe, with nicely finished leather. A tighter fit would be preferred. I wouldn't do any major mileage in these sandals, but they are functional for everyday wear."

Very narrow
"Loved the quality of this sandal. However, it was so narrow I could barely get my foot into it. I usually wear an 8 but these sandals were short and my heel hung over the end. I would recommend these sandals if you have a very narrow foot."

Stylish and comfortable !!
"OMG, These absolutely beautifully and well made shoes are so comfortable !! Besides that, they are super cute too !! I bought these in black with red which is very stylish. They fit true to size too, I am a size 8.5 to 9 (mostly 9) and they fit perfectly. I also like the aspect of being "close to nature" because of the copper points :) And the price is fantastic, by far the lowest ANYWHERE !!""

It's now Fall and my cycling interests have turned from road biking to mountain biking. �Late Spring and early Fall are usually great times to ride, the trails are beat in and dry and the weather is a bit more friendly. �Yesterday I did my first "mud ride" of the year, we got about a half inch of rain I think but it was a steady all day drizzle that had got the trails we rode pretty wet.
Riding a mountain bike in mud is wild, even if you have some tires with mud capabilities in the tread you're going to find yourself sliding around alot. �Pedaling hard often just means your back wheel spins out and your forward momentum stops, getting your weight over the back wheel is essential. �A massive effort is required to sometimes go half the speed you would if it was dry.
Then there is the fact that mud reeks havoc with your bike, its like running your drivetrain through sand paper, it destroys breakpads and gets grit in bearings. �Then there's always the possibility of chain suck. �Chain suck is one of mountain biking's oldest enemies, it happens when your chain fails to disengage from the bottom teeth of the chainring and is sucked up between the bottom bracket and chainstay. �It locks up your pedals abruptly and can lead to lots of other problems. �It typically happens when your chain becomes extra wet and muddy causing extra friction, but the primary culprit is worn chainrings that �act like hooks.
When you're on a mountain bike ride its always alot of fun to see just what you can get your bike to ride through. �I was trying to ride through some mud pits, the guy in front of me got bogged down and I got around him. �My back wheel was spinning more then it was pulling but I was still moving forward, then it happened CHAIN SUCK. �I quickly back pedaled to release the chain and tried to push again to keep my momentum, I heard a snap and came to an abrupt stop. �Looking behind me I saw my derailleur was snapped off and laying in the mud. �I think the sudden release of pressure and reapplication of pressure whiplashed the derailleur, it got jammed and pedaled right up with the chain when I pushed again. �I should have just stopped.
It was only a 2.5 mile walk back in the mud and rain, good times. �Single speeds keep looking more appealing. �For now it looks like i need to buy a new front chain ring, and probably a chain then dig through my part box where I hope a 9 speed mountain bike derailleur can be found. � Oh the joys of mountain biking.

Islanders Rally Past Rangers 5-3 At The Garden
Jim Cerny
For the second straight contest Rick Nash scored the first two goals of the game, but unlike Sunday night against Washington the Rangers could not follow the strong start with a victory on Tuesday, instead dropping a 5-3 decision to the Islanders at Madison Square Garden, a loss which snapped the Blueshirts three-game winning streak.
With the score tied 3-3 late in the third period the Rangers were caught with too many men on the ice, and the Islanders made them pay dearly for the mistake. Thomas Vanek scored from in front with just 4:38 remaining in regulation to give the Islanders their first lead of the night, and it proved to be the game-winner. Frans Neilsen added an empty-net goal with 6.1 seconds left to seal the Rangers fate.
Chris Kreider scored a goal and added a pair of assists for the Rangers in defeat, while Nash scored those first two goals, giving him nine in his last nine games.
Cam Talbot was pressed into an emergency start between the pipes for the Rangers when Henrik Lundqvist called in sick prior to the morning skate. Talbot allowed more than two goals for only the third time in 14 starts this season as his record fell to 10-4-0. He finished with 32 saves. David LeNeveu was signed and recalled from Hartford to serve as Talbot's backup with Lundqvist remaining at home.
A wildly entertaining and back-and-forth first 40 minutes ended in a 3-3 tie, with the Islanders feeling much better about the score than the Rangers who had junmped out to leads of 2-0 and 3-1 before seeing their Long Island rivals rally in the second half of the second period to pull even.
For the second straight game Nash got the Rangers started on the right foot, scoring on his first shift. In Sunday's 4-1 win over the Washngton Capitals Nash opened the scoring 70 seconds into play, and on Tuesday night he bettered that mark by eight seconds beating Islanders goaltender Kevin Poulin 1:02 into the game to give the Rangers a 1-0 lead. Kreider chased down a puck behind the Islanders goal line and then found a streaking Nash on right wing, and Nash ripped a low hard shot far side to open the scoring.
Then, just as he did Sunday against the Capitals, Nash followed his game-opening goal with another in the first period to give the Blueshirts a 2-0 lead. This time Dan Girardi found Nash with a long pass through center ice, springing him on a breakaway. It seemed as though Poulin had the left post covered with his pad, but Nash found an opening and slid the puck into the back of the cage for his team-leading 16th goal of the season at 11:07 of the first period.
Where Tuesday's script deviated from Sunday's is that the third goal of the contest did not belong to the Blueshirts as it did against Washington two nights prior. Instead the Islanders drew within one before the first intermission when Matt Martin buried a pretty John Tavares pass with 2:38 remaining in the period, cutting the Rangers lead to 2-1.
The Islanders actually outplayed the Rangers for large parts of the opening period, but a solid Talbot stopped 15 of 16 shots to help the home team hold on to its lead. The visitors pinned their hosts back in their own end for long stretches and forced the Rangers into several turnovers with their aggressive forecheck.
After a slew of penalties both ways, the Rangers found themselves on their fourth power play of the night midway through the second period and Kreider was able to convert the rebound of a Derek Stepan shot which had hit the post behind Poulin and the Rangers once again had themselves a two-goal advantage. The goal was Kreider's 13th this season, and it was also his third point of the night, equaling his single-game career-high set earlier this season when he notched a Hat Trick against Vancouver on November 30th.
The Islanders, though, responded with a pair of goals in a three-minute span late in the second period to pull even and quiet The Garden crowd. Defenseman Thomas Hickey gained position down low on Girardi and one-timed a Kyle Okposo feed past Talbot at 13:22, and then Colin McDonald tied it 3-3 at 16:36 converting a Tavares rebound in the slot.
Both teams had a good gold chance to untie the score early in the third period, but brilliant saves by the two goaltenders kept the score 3-3. Poulin flashed a quick glove to rob Ryan McDonagh who snapped a rising shot from left wing that was ticketed to the far upper corner of the net one minute into the third. Talbot responded at the 4:30 mark when he fired across his crease to make a terrific left-pad save on Tavares' slick wraparound attempt.
The Rangers will face the Islanders twice more before the end of the month---next Wednesday outdoors at Yankee Stadium, then a week from this Friday again at Madison Square Garden. Next up the Blueshirts skate against the St. Louis Blues Thursday at MSG.

45 volunteers roll to repair vet's house
FULLERTON – It was all hands on deck.
Forty-five volunteers, sporting orange Team Depot T-shirts, descended Thursday on the home of Jacob and Jessica Snowden to help redo the landscaping as part of a national service project sponsored by The Home Depot Foundation.
Click here to watch a video of the home makeover.
"It feels wonderful to know my (2-year-old) daughter is going to have a place to play here, and she isn't going to have to have to wait until she's out of the seventh grade to do it," said Jacob Snowden, a U.S. Navy veteran who did three overseas tours on an aircraft carrier and is now an electrician.
Snowden was one of five veterans identified by Habitat for Humanity Orange County, which acted as The Home Depot's local partner; other nonprofit groups, including Wilshire Avenue Community Church in Fullerton and the office of Rep. Loretta Sanchez, D-Santa Ana, helped find the veterans, too.
The other veterans included one from World War II who lives with his wife of 70 years in Placentia; an Army veteran who served from 1970 through 1973; and a former soldier from Anaheim who served in Vietnam.
The Snowdens' home was one of 100 veteran homes around the country being repaired Thursday by Team Depot volunteers. Home Depot plans to complete work on 300 by Veterans Day. All of the volunteers are employees in the chain's stores.
Alex Osborne, a neighborhood revitalization manager for Habitat for Humanity, said that in exchange for the donated supplies and labor, the homeowners are asked to participate in the repairs and contribute 10 percent to 20 percent of the cost.
"We saw that (the Snowdens) were in a financial state that they weren't going to get their property in a state they would like it to be in," Osborne said.
Volunteers began work at the Snowdens' home a week ago. Among the improvements: replacing a cracked and sloped concrete patio, a new fence around the property, and a new sprinkler for their front yard.
For Gemit Williams, a paint department supervisor for Home Depot, helping out a veteran was a no-brainer. His father was a Korean War veteran and his brothers served in the Army.
"Bottom line, without soldiers, we wouldn't be a free nation," Williams said. "It's just an honor when you can just serve veterans. This is worth me sacrificing a few hours. It's nothing compared to what they do."
Jessica Snowden, who is due to deliver her second child in two weeks, was thankful.
"It's not something that's done every day," she said. "The generosity is just amazing."

The money would come from Mikhail Prokhorov (aka "New Investor"), additional financing, and new equity from Forest City Ratner or third parties.
FCR told investment analysts earlier this month it planned to invest $200 million in equity, but, as Brown writes, " it's not as if developers generally have $200 million just lying around." (Forest City hasn't yet publicly commented.)
And it's not clear to me what role the unmentioned taxable junk bonds would play in this.
The details
From the Barclays Center Official Statement:
As one of the Vacant Possession Release Conditions, and as required under the Arena Lease Agreement, ArenaCo will be obligated to pay or cause to be paid the Additional Rent Amount (presently anticipated to be $324.8 million, which amount may ultimately be reduced to reflect prior expenditures made for the Arena Project and included in the budget for the Arena Project on and after November 1, 2009) to the Issuer (for deposit with the PILOT Bond Trustee). Such amount has been estimated by the Independent Engineer to be sufficient to pay the Completion Cost, but a portion of such amount (not needed for construction) will be used for the funding of part of the Series 2009 PILOT Bonds Strike and Liquidity Reserve Requirement. At the time of the issuance of the Series 2009 PILOT Bonds, ArenaCo will not have funds sufficient to pay the Additional Rent Amount, but ArenaCo expects to raise sufficient funds prior to the Arena Project Effective Date from one or more of the following sources: (a) the proceeds of the Purchase Price payable by the New Investor (for a description of the Investment Agreement and definitions of such terms, see "PROJECT PARTICIPANTS--The Arena Developer, ArenaCo and New Jersey Basketball--Anticipated New Investment"), (b) additional financing at one or more of the parent companies of ArenaCo, including but not limited to Arena HoldCo, (c) additional equity contributions from the Arena Developer, its parent companies, and/or the New Investor, (d) additional equity contributions from the third parties or (e) any combination of the foregoing, in each case subject to the receipt of any applicable NBA approvals. Although ArenaCo expects that the necessary funds will be timely raised, there can be no assurance that the funds will be raised or that the amount of such funds will be sufficient to make the full payment of the Completion Cost. In the event that the Issuer has not received the Additional Rent Amount from ArenaCo for deposit with the PILOT Bond Trustee at or prior to the Outside Commencement Date, or if such receipt does not occur within five (5) Business Days of Vacant Possession having been achieved, proceeds of the Series 2009 PILOT Bonds will not be applied to the construction of the Arena, and the Issuer will be required to redeem the Series 2009 PILOT Bonds at 101% of (i) with respect to the Series 2009 Current Interest PILOT Bonds, the Amortized Value thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the Extraordinary Mandatory Redemption Date, and (ii) with respect to the Series 2009 Capital Appreciation PILOT Bonds, the Accreted Value on the Extraordinary Mandatory Redemption Date. See "THE SERIES 2009 PILOT BONDS--Redemption--Extraordinary Mandatory Redemption." If such a mandatory redemption is made, Bondholders will not obtain the expected return on their investment in the Series 2009 PILOT Bonds and may not be able to reinvest the proceeds from such a redemption in an investment that results in a comparable return.

Great cut down cowboy boot
"Absolutely a perfect modem take on the historic cowboy boot. I wasn't sure if I would like the zip up sides but they are really quite practical and not only allow for a better fit but should also save some of the wear and tear associated with removing. The leather and the way it is styled is absolutely perfect and takes a brand new boot and makes it a comfy classic right out of the box. These are a little pricy but well worth it especially if purchased on sale."

Didn't realize the other thread was closed. This might not be a specific figure but I think G.U.A.R.D. needs a ruthless terriost organization determined to rule the world. For this I was thinking along the lines of Cobra from G.I. Joe or maybe more like Hydra from Marvel comics. Couple leader types and foot soldier/grunts.

Military/Security/Police Dog (ex: German Sheperd)
Alternate Pose N.O.V.A. Guard [w/o weapon (so can add various weapons) or choice of arms/weapons]
Galactic Marine [w/o weapon (so can add various weapons) or choice of arms/weapons]
Female Galactic Marine [w/o weapon (so can add various weapons) or choice of arms/weapons]
Sprue of sci-fi/modern heads (male/female)
Sprue of sci-fi/modern heavy weapons [examples based off of CAV: FA-45 MG ('SAW'), AA-52 DFM ('Stinger'), AT-23 DFM ('LAW'), Grenade Launcher, etc.]
A 'Not-Alien' xenomorph
Modern/Sci-fi pilot in flight/g-suit
Alternate Sci-fi races [examples based off of CAV: Rach, Adonese, Malvernian, Ritterlich]
I'll hold off on the other ideas for now.

2 more poses of NOVA guards
(please have Bobby Jackson do these so they stay the same style) People like me want to be able to make squads of these guys for other games so you will sell more by having more poses I think.
splinter cell type infiltrator
human sized ,mean, reptillian sci fi troopers
more space thugs like Boris (for pirates, smugglers, ect..)
some not-locust aliens from Gears of War

Electrodes for machinery, and in particular, sized such that they can be pinned onto existing models to make them like radio controlled flesh golem/Frankenstein monsters.
Sprues of weapons with hands specifically tailored to fit most of the Reaper range. Modern, black powder, and also melee weapons. You'd be surprised how many models can be fitted this way, even from different ranges. The hand attached makes for an easy conversion, and would have loads of crossover appeal.

-More intergalactic marines with a few new personalities.
-Civilians, civilians, civilians. The more and more variety the better. This is one of the biggest lacking elements the better.
-I also second the "average" hero concept ala Hurley from Lost. Everyday people, maybe not so perfect, maybe not so attractive. Additions of a number of SKU's along these lines would be a plus!
-Modern and historical "add on" items. Weapons packs are cool, but things like books, backpacks, frying pans, and other everyday items would be a big plus.
-A group of gamer geeks/convention goers.
-A group of street hockey players (with options on making them hooligan/gang members)
-A twitchy, born again, mischief making purveyor of questionable items and his "Silent" partner (Who knows, it could be made official)
-More anime based concepts.
-More Steampunk/Chronotech concepts (keep them coming!)
-Modern ninjas with personalities.
-Terrorists (and not just of the Middle Eastern persuasion).
-A football/rugby hooligan with optional .50 Caliber Desert Eagle.
-Photographers (civilian, combat, or scared Japanese schoolgirls armed with magical cameras to "steal" spirits)
-Shinto Priests, shrine maidens, eastern style monks.
-The local vicar/preacher/priest (shotgun optional).
-More "modern horror" concepts.
-More Cthulhu Mythos (and related writings) monsters.
-The King In Yellow in a very dynamic pose.
-Mardi Gras performers/revelers.
-More bikers.
-Since historical figures are playing a big part of Chronoscope. How about a number of SKU's that depict Pershing's expedition into Mexico. It would be cool to have some really good banditos and a historically accurate Pancho Villa. What would be even more cool would be to have several SKUs of pre-WWI US troopers, a machine gun crew, motorcycle riders, Pershing himself, and to top it off a dynamic figure of a young George Patton going to town with his ivory handled revolvers (if anything else, PLEASE consider this concept. it would be a big seller). This is an era of history that is not touched on much and figures from it would fit in well with everything from the latter days of the wild west, to steampunk games.

Like a troll in a business suit holding a big handgun with some kind of datalink wire hooked into his wrist or head.
A teenaged male faerie dressed as a skate punk with a skateboard or grav-board.
Tough-looking faeries dressed in combat gear or gang clothes with weapons like assault rifles, chains or swords.
An orc in a sharp-looking military dress uniform.
"Oh, not you... We named the hat "Jack"."

I'd like to see more pulp adventure types as well. Dashing aviators, heroic female investigative reporter.
I'd like to see some Indy look-alikes as well. Guys that are not exactly dressed the same as Indiana Jones, but have the same kind of look. There's a great old movie call "Only Angles Have Wings", starring Cary Grant and Jean Arthur, which is full of the kinds of costumes I'm thinking of. I swear George Lucas got his idea for Indiana Jone's costume from this movie.

Killer Clowns
More Supers
Alien Smugglers like the cantina scene in Star Wars
I believe I have mentioned my love of ninjas previously
Evil masterminds. Perhaps one holding a cat.
Space cops. The Marshal was a good start.
Trying to think of more but I do like everybodies ideas so far.

Skip to comments.Australian artist paints with breasts
Posted on 01/06/2006 4:24:24 PM PST by Rakkasan1
SYDNEY: Changing colours of palette entails endless showers for an Australian artist - because she prefers to paint with her breasts.
But Di Peel, a mother of two, is producing what the market wants. Unlike recent winners of prestigious Turner Prize for modern art, Peel's works can do what paintings traditionally are supposed to do and brighten up a bare wall.
Her first canvas sold for $10, her second for $26 and currently she's busy with an order for 10 at a princely $89 each.
Peel, from Tasmania, freely admits that her chosen method doesn't allow much detail.
"They are more like abstract flowers," she told Hobart's Mercury newspaper. "But my latest piece, people say, looks like the Earth from space.
(Excerpt) Read more at newindpress.com ...
What a boob!
Is her studio open to the public?
"Di Peel"
Is her sister Nana?
Yes, and I think he was being kind.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Thank goodness she doesn't user her butt. She would lose her shirt in costs!
You don't even want to know what her husband uses to create the frames...
thanks for that. next come the Helen Thomas pics. oh the pain I have wrought on others!
Ignore my post #3. Ignore my post #3.
Art is meant to inspire. I'm inspired.
She must paint billboards with those fat brushes.
Must be difficult to hold the brush.
Show us yer brushes !!
$100 or Bust!
looks more like a arse to me.....kinda like you seen on a fat hillbilly working under a sink....
Panoramic landscapes, I'm guessing
I do this too but only on post-it notes.
I cannot do a bill-board!!
And, NO!!!
But thanks for asking!
She looks to be either a midget or dwarf...
I'd had bet you had a set of wagners .......:o)
Now you all know how Earl Scheib can paint a car for such a cheap price. It's all in the ability to keep labor costs down.
Not to be off subject but while I got you here what is your evaluation of springfield armory .45 mini-compact? Picked one up yesterday for under 5 bills. Sent about 150 rounds down range with out any problems.
Gravity will eventually cast her upon the ash heap of boob painters.
Eaker is the only person to see my brushes.
I'm currently unemployed. I think I'll go out tomorrow and get some paints and canvases and use my feet to do paintings and sell them. After all there are people out there who have foot fetishes, mights as well cater to that group!
Albeit technology improves each day I own no mini-compact 1911A1 cept the officers model with the stubby barrel. It has been 100% for me when I have shot it on the range but I have never packed anything small than a commander lenght 1911A1....
My CHL rig is a standard goobermint model that clark melted for me and removed the sights, filled in the dove tails etc and added a S&A Mag guide to give lenght to the grip so the heel of the butt doesn't bite my palm......
Micarta grips made for the 90 degree bottom cut of the S& A Mag guide etc etc and some other goodies I won't mention here......
Good simple point shooting rig......
Glad ya got a mini-compact that functions !
Keep me posted !
I'll never tell....
What a Picaso !.....;o)
Want to see my etchings????? :-p
Farrah FAwcett did this for awhile shortly after her first nervous breakdown. She said so on Letterman, anyway....this was at least ten years ago. A quick web search of "Farrah Fawcett Breast painting" quickly brought me to some disgusting porn sites and so I lost interest in researching this....you're on your own if interested.
I want a mini 1911 so bad, but fear I'll get one that has function problems. A friend bought the Para Warthog. It's real nice, but not reliable enough for ccw.
What does she title her paintings? "Mammaries in Blue"? "Breast of Show"? "Jugs in Still Life"?
Stealing Eakers etch-o-sketch is cheating.....
judging by her pic , the ugly stick she was beaten with already did the damage...

Quinoa: A Plant with a Lot of Potential
In February of this year, the United National declared 2013 the International Year of the Quinoa. Yet, I'm sure not many people have even heard of quinoa, let alone know about its nutritional qualities.
Originating from Bolivia, Chile and Peru around 5,000 years ago, quinoa is a grain that is growing in popularity across the country. Consumed like rice and used to make flour, soup, cereals or alcohol, quinoa is very nutritious due to its high protein content, making it an important food crop in alleviating hunger and food security in impoverished areas of the world.

TAMPA - While a sporting nation was trying to absorb the concept of Michael Jordan becoming a middle-aged man Sunday, his 50th birthday, New York Yankees icon Derek Jeter was coming to grips with his athletic mortality.
Jeter, who'll turn 39 in June, knows his glorious career is nearing an end. He fights it by not talking about it, but for the first time Sunday he no longer was crusading against outside perception.
"As much as I'd like to be getting younger, I'm not," Jeter said. "Everybody's getting older. There's always going to be questions. There always have been questions. I don't mind that."
ON A-ROD: Jeter says his absence is 'awkward'
The skepticism — even cynicism — that Jeter can no longer remain great has never been so prevalent in his 17-plus-year career. It has been four months since he broke his left ankle, and Jeter, who has a plate and screws in his ankle, only began running on a treadmill last week.
The Yankees want to share Jeter's optimism he'll be ready to play by opening day, but they have no idea.
"There's always a concern about him coming back," manager Joe Girardi said, "until he comes back. I believe he'll be an everyday shortstop. I do, but you still want to see it.
"I have not been told this is a career-threatening injury. If we don't have him (at the outset), he'll be around; his presence will be felt."
The only certainty is that after leading the Yankees to five World Series titles, seven American League pennants and 16 playoff berths, the likely a Hall of Famer has never been so badly needed.
'Such an institution'
This proud franchise, which has missed the playoffs once during Jeter's career, is at a championship-level crossroad. They are predicted by Nevada oddsmakers to win fewer than 87 games for the first time in a full season since 1992.
That's what happens when you're fielding baseball's oldest team — average age: nearly 33 — including the eighth shortstop in the modern era to play at the age of 39. That doesn't include Alex Rodriguez, out until at least July with hip surgery as Major League Baseball investigates whether he received performance-enhancing drugs from a South Florida clinic.
"Derek has become such an institution," former Yankees manager Lou Piniella told USA TODAY Sports, "you don't think it's ever going to end. They've got so many questions now, they really need him. They have to have his stability and presence in that lineup and clubhouse every day.
"I don't know how they win without him."
Even at 39?
"But we're all getting older," Jeter said. "I don't think about age when I'm playing. I really don't. I just try to focus on getting ready to play, and doing as well as I can."
This is the Yankees' fear: that Jeter's best isn't good enough. What if one the game's greatest competitors is neutralized by Father Time?
"I don't believe he's going to play just to play,'' former Yankees manager Joe Torre told USA TODAY Sports Sunday night. "He's going to need to carry his end of the bargain. …
"You know, that city is unlike any other city in the country. Distractions are all over the plate. He is definitely a security blanket for a lot of people there, and that franchise. I remember his first year in '96, even the veterans were looking for him to do something in August and September. He had that air about him, something special.''
It's the reason Jeter kept playing in pain last season, risking severe damage to his ankle.
Jeter was diagnosed with a bone bruise in early September. It worsened and became a stress fracture. Jeter refused to have further X-ray. He didn't want to know the severity.
"After it was originally diagnosed," Jeter said, "they told me it was a bone bruise. I'm not going to ask them again to look at it again. Just keep playing."
He played, all the way until his ankle gave way in the 12th inning of Game 1 of the American League Championship Series against the Detroit Tigers.
He crumbled to the ground, screamed in anguish and was afraid to look.
"It had already developed into a stress fracture," Jeter said Sunday. "So if didn't happen on that particular play, it would have happened eventually."
The Yankees were aware Jeter was playing in pain the final six weeks; few knew the extent of his pain.
"I know he had the bone bruise," Girardi said in his office Sunday afternoon, "and I could clearly tell the bone bruise was affecting him. But no, no, we wouldn't have kept playing him if we knew that (it was a stress fracture)."
Yankees ace CC Sabathia, one of Jeter's closest friends, said he didn't try to talk Jeter out of playing, just like he didn't say a word himself about the bone spurs in his left elbow that required surgery.
"I felt his ankle would blow anytime. He had been hurting for a while," Sabathia said. "But that's who he is, why he's the captain. It's easy for me to go out with bone spurs when his ankle is about to blow up.
"Knowing how many rings he already has and him still wanting to go out there and helping us win, that just inspires everyone."
Long road to recovery
Jeter's injury preceded a winter he called "terrible ... absolutely terrible."
He was laid up on a couch for nearly six weeks. He needed a scooter to get around his house.
"I don't want to make it seem more dramatic than it is," Jeter said, "but you've got to learn to walk again. In that sense, physically it was a challenge. And then mentally it's a challenge when you sit on the couch and you can't get anywhere."
Still, he said he would "do the same thing over again, if I had to."
Jeter, who has missed one opening day in his career, believes he'll be ready. He quietly believes he'll put up another stellar season. And, yes, he believes the Yankees will be right back in the postseason.
"It's not like I go out saying, 'I've got to prove something,'" Jeter said. "I just want to continue to improve. That's the approach I've always taken."
Yet, if something goes awry, if this is the year Jeter finally succumbs to age, he will be faced with the biggest decision of his career. Stay and accept the Yankees' $8 million player option in 2014. Retire. Or, dare think it, depart to another team.
"I don't think about those things," Jeter said. "I never try to think about when the end of a career comes. So I can't think about what's going to happen next year."
Still, the day will come. It might be nearing soon. It's only inevitable.
"You look at Derek, you look at Mariano (Rivera, 43)," Piniella said, "the Yankees have two dinosaurs. These guys have worn only one uniform in their lives. I can't see them wearing another one.
"You know it'll end one day. You just hope it's a nice ending."

ARDMORE, Pa. — For golf pro/dutiful dad Phil Mickelson, it was a long week of flying — roughly 5,600 miles. Add to that an early tee time, and then a 3½-hour storm delay.
But Mickelson was up to the challenge Thursday in the opening round of the U.S. Open.
LEADERBOARD: 113th U.S. Open
Indeed, the 42-year-old Mickelson flew again — to the top of the leaderboard. Mickelson shot a 3-under 67 to take the clubhouse lead at Merion Golf Club in this Philadelphia suburb.
The long rain delay, plus another late in the day, helped keep Mickelson near the top of the leaderboard when the sun set.
Luke Donald got to 4 under par 13 holes when play was suspended for the day. Nearly half the field was still on the course.
Tiger Woods was at 2 over par through 10 holes, with a par putt on 11.
Big-hitting Nicolas Colsaerts of Belgium was in the clubhouse after a 1-under 69.
Mickelson's playing partners weren't as sharp: Steve Stricker shot 71, and Keegan Bradley struggled to a 77.
HOST COURSE: Test for short, quirky Merion
Add the 6,996 yards of Merion's East Course to the unusual journey that now finds Mickelson in solid starting position to make a run at his first U.S. Open title after a record five second-place finishes.
"I feel great. I'll just go back and rest, and I'll have all day (Friday) to rest (afternoon tee time). It's fine. It shouldn't be a problem," said Mickelson, nonetheless looking like a weary man who had done his sleeping on a private jet and added a catnap during the rain delay.
Though he flew back here overnight after attending his daughter Amanda's eighth-grade graduation ceremony, Mickelson didn't have to parachute onto the tee to make his 7: 11 a.m. ET start. He was on the practice tee before 6 a.m.
Breaking down the golfers with the best chance of winning at Merion Golf Club.
How was the graduation experience? His daughter was one of the speakers.
"I'm really proud of her," Mickelson said. "She did a great job. And she even quoted Ron Burgundy (a character in the San Diego-based movie comedy Anchorman). So it was funny, and I was really glad I was there."
Mickelson initially arrived at Merion earlier this week after a second-place finish Sunday at the PGA Tour event in Memphis. He said his initial plan was to attended a news conference Tuesday and then fly home to Rancho Sante Fe, Calif., for the graduation.
When rain curtailed practice time Monday, Mickelson (son of a commercial/Navy pilot) opted to fly to California. He practiced there, attended the graduation Wednesday and began the flight back Wednesday night.
The graduation was at 6 p.m. PT. He got on the plane at 8 PT and landed in Philadelphia at 3:30 a.m. ET. He got a "few hours sleep" before heading to the practice tee. During the rain delay, he said he got another hour's sleep.
"He's had a crazy last 24 hours," Bradley said. "Sometimes that helps, not thinking about it. He's going to get rest and he'll be in great shape."
Mickelson noted that on various occasions he's flown overnight back East to play in golf outings.
"It's not out of the ordinary," he said.
But a golf outing isn't the U.S. Open. Mickelson had to admit it was a bit "abnormal" what he did this week.
"But it actually worked out really well," he said. "I got all my work done on Merion when I was here a week and half ago. I knew exactly how I wanted to play the golf course, given the conditions, given different wind conditions, clubs I was going to hitting. … I didn't feel I needed more time at Merion."
Mickelson started Thursday by three-putting for bogey on No. 11. But that was his lone bogey of the round, and he said he wasn't rattled by the start.
"I've had some of the best rounds of my career that started with a bogey," he said.
He birdied a pair of par-3s (No. 13 and No. 9). He also had birdies at No. 1 and No. 7, both par-4s.
Mickelson said that when he arrived at No. 1 (his ninth hole of the round) he could feel the fatigue.
"I might have used just a little caffeine booster," he said. "I just wanted to make sure I had enough energy."
He said par saves with one-putts on Nos. 5 and 6 were key.
Merion has been softened by a week of rain. Mickelson expects the course to toughen amid drier conditions expected this week.
"This was easy as this golf course is going to play," Mickelson said. "We had very little wind. … We had soft fairways and soft greens, and we had no mudballs."
Mickelson's five runner-up finishes in the Open have come by a total of nine strokes.
His thoughts on coming close so many times?
"Well, if I'm able, and I believe I will, if I'm able to ultimately win a U.S. Open I would say that it's great because I will have had let's say a win and five seconds," he said. "But if I never get that win, then it would be a bit heartbreaking."
