Learn how to pest-proof your home from mosquitoes, spiders and cockroaches with expert tips from Tom Kraeutler and Greg Baumann.
TOM KRAEUTLER: Welcome to this edition of The Money Pit Pest Prevention Podcast presented by Orkin [1]. I'm Tom Kraeutler. Well, the summer season is upon us, and that means that we all get to spend more time outside. It also means though that we've got more exposure to summer pests, including mosquitoes, spiders and cockroaches. But there are many things you can do now to pest-proof your home before the weather gets too hot and pests look to your home as a cool retreat from the heat. Here to fill us in is Greg Baumann, the Vice President of Training and Technical Services for Orkin. Welcome, Greg.
GREG BAUMANN: Well, thank you very much, Tom, pleasure to be here.
TOM KRAEUTLER: And coming up in this episode of The Money Pit Pest Prevention Podcast, learn the best time of day to avoid biting insects. We're also going to find out why recognizing the shape of a violin on a spider can actually help you avoid a very painful bite. And we're going to learn which common household pest is known to carry organisms that cause everything from diarrhea to dysentery and even leprosy. Yuck! And that's all coming up in this edition of The Money Pit's Pest Prevention Podcast. [1:00] Well, Greg, let's start by talking about mosquitoes. As the weather warms up mosquitoes go to town and they can really be an annoyance. They interrupt us no matter what we're doing, especially during the early morning hours and the early evening hours. Why are they so active during those two periods of day?
GREG BAUMANN: Well, mosquitoes like to be active in the dawn and the dusk times of the day. It's going to depend on the species. One of the most common species today will bite during the day, and that's going to be the albopictus or the Asian tiger mosquito. But the most common ones that we typically run into are going to be out when we want to be outside, which is right after dusk enjoying a nice cold drink and enjoying the summer weather. And it's just the nature of the species.
TOM KRAEUTLER: So your chock full of good news?
GREG BAUMANN: Yeah, it's unfortunate, isn't it?
TOM KRAEUTLER: All right, so if we really can't avoid mosquitoes and they're going to be around in literally all of the hours of the day, what are some things that we can do to our homes as we get ready for the summer season? [2:00] I mean, you know, we're cleaning the decks, scrubbing the siding, getting away all that winter yuck that's formed over the colder months. What can we do to set up our house now so that we at least won't become a breeding ground for mosquitoes?
GREG BAUMANN: Well, let's think about the life of a mosquito a second. The mosquito is typically going to reproduce needing water. In fact, just a thimble full of water is going to be adequate amount of water for a mosquito to reproduce. So freestanding water, sometimes slowly moving water, is going to be vital for them to reproduce.
TOM KRAEUTLER: So when you say a thimble full of water, I mean, even a wheelbarrow that's upside down that's got legs that are U-shaped legs, I often see water being trapped in a place like that. Kids toys, any type of plant container that's got like a saucer under it. There are a lot of small areas that are around your house. If you collectively though eliminate then, I mean, you can only control around your house. Does that actually have an effect, the mosquito's going to travel that far from where they nest? [3:00]
GREG BAUMANN: We actually reduce the chances of mosquitoes being right next to us here, but they can travel from neighbors, they can travel from the woods right near us, and that becomes an issue as well. So there's not a way to totally eliminate mosquitoes from around your house, but you can reduce the populations. Also, people don't realize this, but they're plant feeders. They don't live on blood, it's just female feeds on humans and they need blood to create the eggs.
TOM KRAEUTLER: Right.
GREG BAUMANN: And so they're typically going to be feeding on plants, flowers, and they're going to spend most of the hot summer days underneath the leaves of plants. And so if you're trying to eliminate mosquitoes, what you're going to have to do is eliminate all vegetation, all water. Not at all practical.
TOM KRAEUTLER: Not going to do that. Well, before we get off the standing water topic, I also want to mention gutters. Now, folks think that gutters need to be clean so that the water doesn't roll off the roof and hit you in the head. But there's all sorts of reasons, great reasons, to keep your gutters clean. [4:00] Not only does it keep your water from rolling off the roof, it stops the water from eroding the foundation, it stops wet crawl spaces, and it also prevents giving mosquitoes a place where they really can set up a pretty big area where they could breed.
GREG BAUMANN: There's no question about that. People think about, "Okay, where are mosquitoes going to be found? Well, in the dirty stagnant water of swamps." Well, you know what? A gutter that's clogged up is a swamp. Another thing people don't think about, and that's because it's such a friendly thing right now to use rain barrels. If your rain barrel is clogged and it doesn't have a sieve on the top or a screen on the top, mosquitoes can very quickly use rain barrels to reproduce, just like a gutter.
TOM KRAEUTLER: Now, you know, we can take steps to try to eliminate the breeding areas for mosquitoes around our house, but if we wanted to do something more proactive, if we wanted to have a pest professional come in and treat the area around the home? What kinds of things do Orkin professionals do to try to further reduce the populations of mosquitoes around a property?
GREG BAUMANN: Well, what we try to do is partner with the homeowner. Remember, the homeowner is the eyes and the ears when we're not there. [5:00] Tell us what you're seeing, when you're seeing it, and that'll help us zoom in on what the problem is. We also like to try to identify the type of mosquito so we have a better idea of the biology and where we're going to implement control measures. And another thing we're going to do is, once we find a population, especially if they are spending the summer days underneath the foliage, we will treat areas underneath the foliage, try to reduce the populations near the deck or the outside living spaces.
TOM KRAEUTLER: Now, before we get off the topic of mosquitoes, I want to ask you about all of these contraptions that are sold to try to combat mosquitoes. The bug zappers and the other types of mosquito traps so to speak that are sold at home centers and hardware stores. Do they work?
GREG BAUMANN: Some of them have value, but you're really never going to eliminate all of the mosquitoes in an area.
TOM KRAEUTLER: We're talking to Greg Baumann, he's the Vice President of Training and Technical Services for Orkin, about summer pests and how you can prevent them from bothering you and interrupting your enjoyment of that warm weather. Greg, let's talk for a moment about spiders. [6:00] It's one pest that really freaks people out, but aren't spiders beneficial as well, don't they help keep control of the insect population down because they feed on a lot of insects?
GREG BAUMANN: Well, you know, spiders are very beneficial. In fact, there are insects that are beneficial out there except when they come near us. Spiders are very similar to that, when they come near us then we start to panic. But the insects that the spider will consume can be insects that we have viewed dangerous or pests in around the home environment. But when they come too close to us spiders become pests as well.
TOM KRAEUTLER: So really this is an approach where we have to try to reduce all of the insects around our houses, certainly those that are inside of our house. If we want to make sure the spiders don't have a reason to be there we shouldn't have the insects there in the first place. So what are some of the ways that we can prevent insect populations from getting a foothold inside the home?
GREG BAUMANN: Probably the best thing that we can do is somehow exclude the insects. Look for cracks and crevices where the insects might come into the house. Look for gaps around the doors and the windows, the weather stripping. [7:00] Especially in the summer time when screens are used, make sure that the screens don't have holes in them. You reduce those insects inside the house you're going to reduce the spiders. And around the house you want to eliminate your porch lights where possible. But that's not really practical, so use the bug lights, because that's going to reduce the amount of insects attracted to your front door. And how many times do we see it, our front door seems to be the most popular place for spiders to join us. Another thing that people will notice is that spiders do like to be in basements and crawlspaces. But, you know, today people are really starting to think about these as conditioned spaces. And so it's really important to keep the humidity really low. It'll reduce chances of rot, reduce chances of infestation and the other insects which are food for spiders. So dehumidification is a really, really good non-chemical pest control method.
TOM KRAEUTLER: Good advice. We're talking to Greg Baumann, he's the Vice President of Training and Technical Services for Orkin, about outdoor home improvement tips for a pest-free home. [8:00] So Greg, one of the insects that perhaps grosses homeowners out the most, and there's good reason for it, are cockroaches. Right?
GREG BAUMANN: Yes.
TOM KRAEUTLER: And when you say you see one cockroach they're never alone.
GREG BAUMANN: Well, that's exactly right. If you see a cockroach you're seeing the tip of the iceberg.
TOM KRAEUTLER: Now, they're very filthy pests. And, you know, if we see them outside that's one thing, but if they get in your house you really need to jump on this quickly, because they carry a lot of diseases, don't they?
GREG BAUMANN: Certainly cockroaches are filthy little insects and they have been associated with many pathogens, so they can spread disease. They also have been associated with asthma, and we're seeing a growing number of children that have asthma and we think that cockroaches certainly can add to the problem.
TOM KRAEUTLER: That's amazing. I have a list here of the diseases that these cockroaches can carry some of the organisms for. And it goes: diarrhea, dysentery, cholera, leprosy, plague, typhoid fever, and all sorts of viral diseases. These are nasty little creatures. [9:00]
GREG BAUMANN: Yeah, they certainly are. They are not cute little insects for sure.
TOM KRAEUTLER: So if we do run across cockroaches, obviously it's something we have to hop on very, very quickly. What are some of the steps? What's the first thing a homeowner should do?
GREG BAUMANN: Well, a couple things about cockroaches too is that it's important to understand that certain parts of the country are going to have cockroaches that live outside. But cockroaches are not really seasonal. You're going to see more of them outside, especially in the southern climates, but cockroaches are year-round pests. And so getting to your point about things that we can do to prevent them, they need three things: they need food, they need water, a place to live. It's almost the same as with any pest that we're talking about. And so if you can reduce any one of those it's going to be helpful. Well, water isn't going to be easily reduced, you know, whether it be condensation on pipes or whether it be drips outside. A place to live, we provide it for them. So the most important thing we can do is eliminate the food. Don't let food sit out, don't let uncovered pastries sit out, and when you make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, don't let the spilled jelly sit on the counter. [10:00]
TOM KRAEUTLER: All right. Now, if we have a cockroach problem and we want to have a pest control professional come in and treat that problem, what is the approach that your pros would take?
GREG BAUMANN: Well, typically we're going to assess the situation first. We're going to figure out what type of cockroach it is, what is the source of the cockroach? Is it an outside cockroach that worked its way in? You know, a smoky brown cockroach likes to live outside, they just happened to work their way into the houses in the south, as an example. And then once we determine the species, and once we determine the source, then we're going to work with a homeowner to reduce the food source as an example, and we're also going to take a targeted approach. We're not just going to treat everywhere, we're going to look for the source and we're going to treat those areas, usually with baits. Baits are small dabs of product that are not going to be accessible to homeowners, children or pets. [11:00]
TOM KRAEUTLER: We're talking to Greg Baumann, he's the Vice President of Training and Technical Services for Orkin, about how to control summer pests in your home like mosquitoes and spiders and cockroaches. So Greg, just to kind of sum this up, the things that we can do as homeowners that will help control all of these insects.
GREG BAUMANN: It's actually going to boil down to two things: proper maintenance and proper vigilance. Look for early warning signs of pests. If you do see the problem contact Orkin. If you are going to be outside playing or working around our house, look for any entry points where pests can get in.
TOM KRAEUTLER: So look for those entry points, eliminate the standing water. Keep the vegetation in and around your house trimmed back away from the siding, right? A lot of times you get homes that are very overgrown and that creates an easy bridge into the place itself. Make sure you check your screens, your doors, make sure everything is fitting properly, seal all the cracks and crevices. Door sweeps, something very easy to do that can stop a lot of insects from walking right into your house. [12:00] And then as you mentioned earlier, replace the outdoor light bulbs with the yellow bulbs. A different wavelength that insects aren't attracted to, correct?
GREG BAUMANN: That's correct.
TOM KRAEUTLER: Good advice. Greg Baumann, Vice President of Training and Technical Services for Orkin. Thank you so much for being a part of the The Money Pit Pest Prevention Podcast.
GREG BAUMANN: Thank you.

Collecting Beeswax on Nature's Schedule Bees know how to do their job, so Burt's Bees leaves them alone and minds their own beeswax until the time is right. That's how they ensure their beeswax cultivating process protects the Bees' normal production cycle. Bees produce a wax honeycomb where they raise their young and store honey and pollen. When it's full, they cap off the honeycomb and move on to build another hive. Then, and not before, is when they cultivate the beeswax, ensuring the normal cycle of nature. Burt's Bees Frequently Asked Questions Are your products hypoallergenic? There is no defined methodology to test for allergic reactions in beauty or personal care products, nor does the FDA regulate use of the term "hypoallergenic." Consequently, Burt's Bees does not position their products as hypoallergenic. Are your products safe for pregnant women to use? Burt's Bees recommends that any expectant mother check with her physician before changing her skin care routine with their products or any other line of products. How long will my Burt's Bees products stay fresh, and what is the best way to store them? Burt's Bees products are made with natural ingredients, and they purposely present their products in smaller portions so you finish them while their and providing their maximum effectiveness. As such, they recommend you store creams and oils in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat. Creams may be store in their cartons for extra protection. Where are Burt's Bees products made? Over 95% of Burt's Bees products are made right in their own manufacturing plant in Durham, NC. The rest are made by other respectable American manufacturers. Do you test on animals and do your products contain animal derived ingredients? Burt's Bees does NOT conduct product or ingredient tests of any kind on animals. A few of their products contain ingredients derived from animals such as beeswax, royal jelly, milk and carmine. I am allergic to bees. Can I still use your products? Burt's Bees does not use actual bee venom in their products - only bee by-products, such as honey, beeswax, royal jelly and honey powder. However, if you are allergic to bee by-products, then Burt's Bees does not suggest using their products. They recommend that you contact your health care provider when changing your skin care regimen to find out which products are best for you.

Burt's Bees has come a long way from selling home-made beeswax lip balms and hand salves at local craft fairs, but their belief in creating truly natural products that are good for you and the environment hasn't changed.

Just days after Mark Bauerlein's assertion that Common Core State Standards makes high school English class safe once more for Dead White Males, along comes living white male Mike Petrilli with a proposed "Kindergarten Canon" — a collection of 100 "must-read picture books for preschoolers."
Mike's list draws substantially on Core Knowledge's list of recommended books for preschool and kindergarten, so there will be few quibbles from this blog. Its principal strength is that every time I find myself thinking, "I bet he overlooked (A Chair for My Mother, Ferdinand, Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel)…." I find, nope, it's in there.
A few selections feel like filler. One Morning in Maine is one too many Robert McCloskey books, after Make Way for Ducklings and Blueberries for Sal. No room for Rumpelstiltzkin but George and Martha make the list? The Tale of King Midas is out but Knuffle Bunny, is in? Teachers will surely mourn the omission of Miss Nelson is Missing! Everyone is sure to have absent favorites: My canon would have to include Tar Beach; Come Along, Daisy; Go Away, Big Green Monster! Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse and How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight, if only to get at least one book on the list with illustrations by Mark Teague, the best children's book illustrator currently drawing breath.
One big difference between a kindergarten canon and shelf of major works of literature to read in high school or college: there really IS time to read every single book on Mike's Kindergarten Canon while a child is in preschool, and then some. Repeatedly. Lots of parents can still recite Goodnight Moon by heart, years after their kids are off to college.
That should keep the gnashing of teeth to a minimum.

Here's a quick inquiry for those who listen to these podcasts on a regular basis: how many of you wait for the show to crop up on doomradio.org? We're taking a look at the download ratings and while they're pretty low for the most part we're banking on the fact that most will find it more senisble to stream them over at the site.

I think someone chimed in at the last couple minutes, not sure who it was, mentioning that they oughta have a discussion about community related drama. I don't know if it holds any water but they didn't say they had an idea and I hope that isn't the topic for the next episode.
Jon Vail - 4:14pm:
Hey Tom!
I'm a member of Doomworld.com, an active Doom modding community. Doomworld hosts an internet radio show / podcast / whathaveyou which is divided in segments, reviewing recent Doom mod releases, chatting about trends in people's level designs and attitudes both in and out of the community, and interviewing prolific Doom level designers. It had a slow start early last year but as of late it has been blowing up in popularity within the community.
If I may be so bold, I'd like to extend an invitation your way to appear for an interview on our radio show!
Generally these interviews go for anywhere between 45 to 90 minutes. The interview will be conducted over Skype, and you'd be provided with a list of questions and topics prior to the show that will probably come up during the interview so nothing comes too far out of left field. Usually we'll sit around and chat briefly before we air just to loosen up. We're generally pretty flexible with timing so we'd be willing to work around your schedule if need be. It would be a gigantic milestone in the growth of our show and we would be honored to have you as a special guest!
Most of us at Doomworld have done boundless research and philosophizing about Doom's history (in fact, we've even made a Doom episode intended to emulate the original Doom level designers' styles, right down to the texture alignments! [Doom The Way Id Did]) We'll probably just have you talk a bit about what's new with you, your history with id software, working with Romero, John Carmack, and Adrian Carmack, and who you've worked with after leaving id software. We'll probably also ask you to elaborate on some things from "The Doom Bible," What games you've been making (or playing) lately, what you think of the new Rise of the Triad game (if you even have an opinion at all!), and mostly just what you've been up to lately.
There will probably be more questions to come but we'll try not to bombard you with too much!
Anyway, here's the website where our podcasts are available for download or for streaming if you'd like to listen a few of them to gauge what you're in for! We're generally a pretty fun, lively, and enthusiastic group. Shoot me a message if you're interested! We'd love to have you aboard!
Take care!
Tom Hall - 4:18pm:
Yeah I could probably fit that in somewhere. Fun. Maybe wait until I rummage through my closets and find at least some of my DOOM notes, might be interesting.
Jon Vail - 5:03pm:
Great to hear! I'll run it over with the guys and let them know, and we'll probably get a few dates lined up to run by you, thanks for the interest!
Tom Hall - 5:04pm:
Okay cool!

Good news everybody!
I sent a message on facebook to Tom Hall about Tango TV, asking if he'd be interested in popping in for an interview, he said yes!

I'm sorry it came off like I was taking the show into my own hands. I'm just really excited, and I think you'd be missing a huge opportunity to let the chance to interview Tom slip through the cracks. I'm actually a bit surprised you aren't as open to it.

ozzy, just interview Tom by yourself, I'm sure you will do a fine job. Maybe by the time you are done with the entire Doom development team, Alfonzo will finally find some money for a new sound card. хd

Virgin Blue Waves Goodbye To Its Last 737 Classic27/10/2003
Virgin Blue will tomorrow farewell its last Boeing 737 classic jet, registration VH-CZQ (fondly referred to by crew as "Suzie Q"), making the low fare carrier the largest airline to operate an all Boeing 737 Next Generation fleet.
While its modern aircraft set a global benchmark, Virgin Blue has left its regional competitors behind with a fleet that averages eight years younger than Qantas's*.
By operating a one aircraft type fleet consisting of the most up to date commercial jet in use today, Virgin Blue can also maintain its low fare cost base as new aircraft require less time in the workshop.
Virgin Blue Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey, said, "While the 737 classic aircraft got us through the challenging period after our start up, it is Virgin Blue's belief that new planes mean less time in the hangar, allowing us to maintain schedule integrity that is second to none."
Next Generation aircraft also offer state-of-the-art technology that makes it fly faster and quieter, while being more environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient.
"For Virgin Blue Guests, this translates to a smoother, more comfortable ride and the lower operating costs of modern aircraft means the airline can and will continue to offer the best possible fares along with the best on-time performance record."
Virgin Blue took delivery of CZQ, one of Ansett's younger aircrafts, in late 2001 on a temporary lease to assist with its accelerated expansion in the market.
The arrival of more brand new Next Generation aircraft has allowed Virgin Blue to return CZQ to lessor CIT.
The 737 classic aircraft was also known as the 'albino' of Virgin Blue's red fleet due to her white body and was often seen with a distinctive red 'Rudolph' nose.
Virgin Blue currently has a fleet of 40 Boeing 737 aircraft flying between 20 destinations nationally. It has recently launched 'Pacific Blue', its New Zealand based sister airline that is due to begin services between Christchurch and Brisbane on 1 February 2004.
For Virgin Blue bookings log on to www.virginblue.com.au or call 13 6789. For Pacific Blue bookings log on to www.flypacificblue.com or call 13 1645 from Australia or 0800 670 000 from New Zealand.

A Close Look at Zach Bogosian
Kent Wilson
July 13 2011 12:41PM
The Winnipeg Jets have a couple of
significant restricted free agents
left to sign, not the least of which is 21-year old Zach Bogosian. Attitudes about the former third overall draft pick were sharply divergent in Atlanta last year, particular in how a majority of the fans felt about the player versus how the coaching staff deployed him. He has become something of a controversial player as a result
There's no question that Bogosian has struggled from certain angles since becoming a regular in 2008-09. Drafted in the top-5 in part because of his high-end offensive output in the OHL (11-goals, 61-points in his draft year), Bogosian hasn't put up numbers yet in his young career, topping out at 10-goals and 23-points in 2009-10. His offensive contributions actually fell last year to just 17-points, further exacerbating frustrations about his development.
Bogosian doesn't have the best underlying numbers either. He had the second worst possession rate amongst regular skaters on the back-end of ATL last season (-6.98/60) with only partner Johnny Oduya finishing behind him (-8.32/60). He also scored at a fairly marginal rate (0.54pts/60) at even strength.
With all that in mind, it makes one wonder why the Jets would bother to re-sign Bogosian in the first place. Seems to be a pretty marginal player.
The truth is, the kid has been playing the toughest minutes available for the club over the last two years, which is the main reason his numbers stink. No blueliner faced a tougher quality of competition for the Thrashers last season. Bogosian's offensive-to-defensive zone start ratio was the second most difficult on the club (47.9%) behind Oduya. Only Dustin Byfuglien averaged more ice time than Bogosian for the Thrash at ES and Bogosian was second the blueline in terms of average SH ice time.
On the other hand, Bogosian was relegated to a lesser power-play role (1:58/game) with Byfuglien and Tobias Enstrom soaking up almost all of the ice time on the extra man most nights (4:02 and 4:32, respectively). Those two guys also got the most favorable treatment from Craig Ramsey in terms of starting position at even strength, with zone starts north of 55%, which helps explain their surperior offensive totals.
Bogosian was leaned on heavily in Atlanta to give the high ground to other players. He didn't exactly flourish under those circumstances, but most defenders at the age of 19 and 20-years old aren't even in the league, let alone facing other teams top lines from their own end every night.
As such, he figures to be a significant part of the Jets blueline going forward. If new coach Claude Noel decides to deploy his defenders in a more equitable manner, there is no doubt Bogosian's counting stats will improve going forward as well. Given the trial-by-fire described above, his impressive set of physical tools and his draft pedigree, Bogosian is a decent bet to develop into a high-end, shut-down defender in the next few years.
July 13 2011, 12:58PM
Bogosian was leaned on heavily in Atlanta to give the high ground to other players. He didn't exactly flourish under those circumstances, but most defenders at the age of 19 and 20-years old aren't even in the league, let alone facing other teams top lines from their own end every night.
That's the nub of it right there, and that's why I just shake my head at some of the Atlanta fans that spent last year crapping on him. A proper organization with any sense at all would have never put a player of his age in the spots they did, particularly on a team that didn't have elite forwards to ease the way.
Even someone like Drew Doughty, who was playing good comp from age 18 onward, got a bit of relief via easier ZS numbers. I don't doubt that Bogosian might have appeared physically ready at 18, but for a defenceman, that's hardly even half the battle. I have no idea how he'll progress from here on out, but Don Waddell and company certainly did the young man no favours with their handling of his development.
July 13 2011, 01:43PM
There are not very many defensemen who can take the workload of Bogosian and maintain positive possession numbers, let alone contribute offensively.
And now you're asking a 20-year old to do so.
Huddy will get this kid going. I was so hoping he was coming to Edmonton. Huddy is a fantastic defense man coach.
This kid will be good IMO.
July 13 2011, 06:58PM
Not to be a jerk, but you should always proof read and spell check before you post. Lots of missed words and letters throughout.
Aside from that, I think it's good that his previous pro coaches have pushed Bogosian to focus more on his defensive game. The offense will come, given the opportunity, but his development defensively will allow him to become a special talent in the league, should he continue developing the way he has been. He's a keeper.
July 13 2011, 11:16PM
Good read.
I heard an interview given with the Jets Gm, he was saying that Bogosian was not on the open market.
~Like every true oiler fan I was crushed that the Oilers were not going to make a deal that included a 5th and 6th round pick plus Cogliano, and maybe throw in Brule, plus a conditional pick in 2015 and a 1979 chev malibu~
...However I would have like him on the Oilers! he would look good in Blue and Orange.

The shoe is a little on the narrow side but it was alright because it was comfy. The only issue I ran into is the strap was a little difficult to adjust but I managed."

Jupiter is fresh off their debut album release, Juicy Lucy, and on the tail end of a nationwide US tour before heading down to Mexico and back over to Europa, so if you're in the mood to get down to some Electro Funk and Disco this weekend, take our advice and get sweaty at Cameo Gallery. Show starts at midnight and goes til 4AM. $7 at the door. Bang bang.

Comments: I wanted to buy the "last model" Reebok skates before they were rebranded under the CCM name as they seem to be the only boot my feet find comfortable. I have a narrow heal and wide toe-box and thus the Pump is very helpful for me. I skate 3-5x/wk for most of the year and thus needed a skate that would hold-up over the long haul. I moved-up from my old pair of 9k's and love these boots. I baked them at home and had them radiused to match my old blades. My first skate was 90-minutes and I had zero issues. They are stiff...much stiffer than any other Reebok boot. They also feel different and I think it is the combination of the new blade assembly and boot quarter. And yes, the cornering clearance is noticeably better than my previous skates. While I realize these skates aren't for everyone (all feet are different), they are a quality product that work well and I highly recommend them.
From: Jason, NH
Comments: I am an average rec league player but enjoy having good equipment. I went to these Reeboks from the Bauer X7.0. The Bauers are definitely stiffer, but the Ribcors are still somewhat stiff. Can't comment about wear because I've only had them a few months. There was virtually no break in, just baked them and skated. The lace lock feature is great. The pump performs as advertised, although I was expecting a little more compression; still nice to pump up between periods of games. The new steel isn't just hype, these blades really hold an edge. I'm very pleased with these skates.

You should get the crew/pacer extraordinaire award! Not only did you crew BW, but many others, as well, while you were waiting at aid stations. Then, you pace BW from Grouse for 14+ hours to a PR finish??? Simply amazing! Never rested from the beginning of the race until way past the finish. Time for you to get some much needed rest. You deserve it! :)ReplyDelete
Nice pics! So...did you see the trail of fire from Kyle Skaggs as he blew off the first ever sub-24 there? :-)ReplyDelete
It was nice seeing you out there!ReplyDelete
Good job pacing. Mike is a stud!
The HR100 course is beyond imagination. I've seen it all and it doesn't seem to sink all the way in - it's so unreal. The miles remind me of dog-years. They say 1 human year equals 15 dog years. So talk about HR miles...
I have to do this race. Leadville is a piece of cake compared to this.
Most beautiful course in the US.

Editors note: In response to Jayne Mecham's letter, I have some remarks from Superintendent Sitterud. He is unable to comment about Mecham's case specifically due to possible liablity concerns with personnel matters. In speaking with Mecham, I have come to the conclusion she wasn't aware that she needed to take the Praxis test to ensure she was licensed to teach in Utah. Whether this is negligence on her part, I can't say.
Supt. Sitterud's remarks: "First of all, I want to make it clear that I cannot comment on most personnel issues. There are liability concerns related to confidentiality. It is easy for employees to say almost anything they want in public, but the same is not true of those who are in positions of public trust, as you are aware.
"I will say, however, that Mrs. Mecham came to us with a Florida teaching license and that she was aware when she was hired three years ago that she needed to obtain a Utah Teaching License as soon as possible. This is on the job application (on which she indicated that she did not have a Utah license but had made application).
"Let me speak in general terms. Typically, the process for a teacher that is licensed in another state to obtain a Utah license takes only a few weeks to a couple of months to complete. It is the responsibility of the employee to obtain the necessary credentials to teach. On occasion we hire teachers while they complete the licensing process. If they fail to do so, we move to find a qualified replacement. Generally we would do this after the first year, unless there is a reason to extend that time. If teachers follow through with making the necessary contacts with the State Office of Education, as they are instructed to do, they would know all that is required, including the Praxis exam. When necessary we give employees regular reminders - generally verbally, until the situation becomes critical, at which time we give written notice that continued employment with the District would be in jeopardy if they do not obtain the necessary license in a timely manner.
"The District will, and has, put off any employment decision, if necessary, until receiving the results of attempted Praxis Exams. However, if the employee is unsuccessful on the exam, they have to wait three months to retake the exam and the results are not available for three-six weeks after the test date. Therefore, an exam that is taken in March, with unsuccessful results, the exam cannot be retaken until June and the results are not available until late July or August. As a District, we cannot wait until July or August to look for a qualified teacher-so we advertise, and if we find a qualified teacher, we hire them. The reality of all of this is that the District loses funding from the State for teachers who are not licensed, and over three years that loss to the District would be in excess of $30,000 in staff funding due to a teacher not being licensed.
"I cannot speak to specifics in relation to Mrs. Mecham's situation due to confidentiality, but I can assure you that we have made every effort to work with her over the past three years. In relation to accusations regarding employee reviews, I would only say that, to my knowledge, these teacher reviews are conducted as required. Licensing issues and teacher evaluations are not related issues," said Supt. Sitterud.

Comments: I love this shoe, very responsive, very nice soft and bouncy ride, have done 150 km in them, still feels great. thinking about getting another pair..
From: Kristian. February 15th 2015
Comments: I've ran in these 3 times and I'm not very impressed so far. The Ravenna 4 felt much more comfortable right out of the box. The Ravenna 5 doesn't seem to have as much cushion in the forefoot area. These feel flatter and stiffer.
From: DT, KY, USA. November 10th 2014
Comments: I am a pretty avid half marathon and mud-run runner, and this is my 3rd model of the Ravenna line. I have run in these shoes for about 10 weeks now, and I must say that I like heavy support shoes (I describe Ravenna's as boat anchors, while I like), but these shoes are a downgrade. They are lighter than the last model, but they feel flimsy and just plain cheap. After a few weeks into my next half marathon training, the cushion is significantly decreased compared to my Ravenna 4's that have seen a half marathon along with the training, and multiple smaller runs over the past year. I know Brooks changed the material they used for their sole, but I think it is a move to decrease cost while still maintaining the price tag. I do like the color combos and the size seems true to past models. Overall, if I wasn't majority of the way through the training for my next half in November, I would risk sending these back and switching brands, or even wearing my old Ravenna's. I gave them a fair share of trial use to hopefully get used to them, but I am completely disappointed with Brooks. I won't be buying a Ravenna next time. Instead I plan on finding a new brand that will stay with the same quality over multiple models.
From: TW, Winston Salem, NC, USA. October 19th 2014
Comments:I like this shoe. The toebox is wider than the 4 and more in line with the 3. Version 4 gave me blisters on the medial side of my foot with runs longer than 6 miles. I run 11 miles in this shoe with no problem. It is a much better version than the 4 for me. I wear a size 9 dress shoe and need a size 10.5 in this shoe. I would highly recommend that you try on any shoe and walk around in them in the store before you buy them. In fact try on three or four different brands, they all fit differently. Also, just because you love one version of a shoe doesn't mean the newer version will fit or feel the same. I weigh 155 pounds. I also use after-market insoles for better arch support to prevent plantar fasciitis.
From: TK, Al. August 1st 2014
Comments: I absolutely love the new Rav. The new dna material is springier. Agree with JGG, it is firmer but offers lots of impact protection and I weigh 215. Not bulky, very fluid feel without being too flexible which the Ghost 6 feels like to me now that they removed the mid-foot shank. great arch support as well. fits like a glove, have no issues with the tongue. The red looks way awesome out in the sun. This shoe is better in every way possible, my new favorite go to trainer!
From: MK. July 17th 2014
Comments: The Brooks Ravenna 5 is great for runners with arches that collapse. The only issue is the short tounge on the shoe. Other than that, it is perfect for me. WARNING: Everybody is different, this shoe may not be for you.
From: John Doe. June 29th 2014
Comments: The fit of the Ravenna 5 is much improved over the 4th version. No top of the foot pain like I had with the Ravenna 4. And the shoe moves better with my feet. The cushioning feels a little more firm but more uniform with the blended DNA/mogo. The prior version at times was so soft that it felt like running on deflated tires. All in all an improvement.
From: JGG, Milwaukee, WI. 3/10/14
Comments: Shoes feel bulkier, stiffer, less cushioned , less flexible, what the heck were they thinking? Only progress with this model is that Brooks has FINALLY realized they should offer this in a EE width (which still feels narrow btw), but the stiffer, firmer ride of the new midsole seems to indicate Brooks has new intentions with this model. Personally, I was hoping they would have kept the great cushioned midsole of prior models, and simply offered it in wider widths, as they should have been all along (i.e. new balance 870)
From: tonygio, Bartlett, IL. 3/10/14
Comments: Loved the Ravenna 4 and disappointed with the new Ravenna 5's. The shoe tongue is shorter in length and makes the fit feel a bit too snug at the top. I'm also no fan of the material quality in these new shoes. The new shoes look cheap and is quite the departure from the quality material fit & finish from Brooks. It seems someone at Brooks and to compare the previous model with the new one side by side the material quality is quite obvious Brooks must have been budget strapped with the new model.

Product Questions
What's the main differences between the nano and the 3155? Also, would be possible to upgrade in the future without having to buy the whole thing?
The nano osmolator is just a simple float switch and that is it. The 3155 has the dual level control with the optical eye for primary control and the float switch emergency backup. The 3155 offers superior redundancy.
It would not be possible to upgrade, they are entirely different units.
Other then the container the kit really comes with everything you need to get started. The pump has a max head height of about 7ft.
The distance between the float being triggered and off is between 1/4" to 1/3" Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
Thanks for the feedback.
the Nano will have a 5 minute shut off and no ability to adjust he flow of the pump. In most cases this will be too limited for the 120 gallon. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
You can always try implementing a large magnet to ensure the hold is stronger. Other than that, there are some more permanent applications such as small amount of super glue. In any case your best bet will be to contact TUNZE and see if they have any tips or tricks.
Tunze – 512-833-7546 email@example.com
That is a valid concern and if you are keeping SPS in the 10 gallon then we would suggest looking into the Osmolator 3155, however for most fish, and other corals like softies and LPS the Osmolator nano will work just fine. Since the return pump compartment is much smaller than larger tanks, when water evaporates it will move the water level pretty quickly and activate the float switch which is pretty sensitive.
The unit is not suited to large aquariums because it has a timer based cut off so the pump will only run for a short period of time. Using it with a large tank can result in the the pump turning off before its finished replacing the evaporation.
Full Details
Introducing the little brother to the Tunze Osmolator, one of the industry's most trusted automatic water top-off device and BRS Recommended. Designed specifically for smaller aquariums, roughly 50 gallons and under, the Osmolator Nano 3152 is a slimmed down version of the full sized 3155. It includes a processor-based anti-overfill system which turns the pump off if after five minutes of filling the level has still not been reached. The Osmolator Nano includes the control unit, low voltage (6V) pump, power adapter, 3m hose, magnet mount and protective cover.
Would not recommend By Wilson on 12/12/2016Wilson wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI bought this with the idea it would make my life easier. The first pump failed and Tunze replaced it. The second pump ran great for @ a week then stopped filling up the tank unless I unplugged it and plugged it back in. They are now sending a third pump however I'm not holding my breath. Had I known this would happen I would have purchased another model.
Excellent product By Richie D on 11/4/2016Richie D would recommend this product to a friendSure is convenient not having to add to-off water all the time. Just went away for the weekend and didn't have to worry about whether or not the gravity fed system I had always used would work or not. Many times I would come home to find the pump sucking air and the aquarium down about 4 inches. Not this time! While it is very expensive, it does save a lot of headaches and potential loss of fish and corals. Absolutely recommend it.
Great mini version of the bigger ato By Sgt Harold on 9/13/2016Sgt Harold would recommend this product to a friendI brought this for my Red Sea max 250 rimless . It has a small tank that I use a 5 gal bucket to keep full. Keeping salinity if important in maintaining a stably ecosystem .
Part #4017.000 Controller Osmolator nano device By Max on 8/3/2016Max wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI have written to the company in Germany to try to get a new part #4017.000 Controller Osmolator Nano device. I have to unplug the device and reconnect it every cpl days to get the unit to work properly to top off. It makes a noise like it wants to pump water to my reef tank but will not until I unplug the device and re-connect it then it works for a day or two. I hope I can get a replacement part as I only bought this from BRS beginning of July last month. I sent the scan of my invoice to the company in Germany as well so waiting on a response.
Great By darryl hey on 8/1/2016darryl hey wouldn't recommend this product to a friendhave 3 of these on nano tanks 29 biocube 40 breader and 45 cube works great! have been running for 2 years now
Auto shut off By Chris on 7/2/2016Chris wouldn't recommend this product to a friendThe float sensor got stuck on and the pump did not turn off. The auto turn off did not work. Luckily the story revisor was almost empty and my tank did not overflow. I don't trust it any more need to upgrade to the one with the optical sensor.
Great nano ATO By Tommy on 6/13/2016Tommy would recommend this product to a friendI installed the Tunze nano ATO in my Corallife Biocube 29. I placed it in the 3rd chamber with the return pump. So far it works perfectly. It has helped stabilize the tank and my corals could not be happier. Great little ATO.
Had defective pump By Mike on 4/25/2016Mike would recommend this product to a friendMy experience is mix. The product works well for 10 days then stopped. Tunze customer service replace the pump and is wrking fine now. Just the trouble of not wrking and having to contact Tunze for replace part.
Works great! By Rachelle on 2/15/2016Rachelle would recommend this product to a friendThis is a very nice ATO system, it works like a charm and keeps my salinity nice and stable. My only complaint is that it doesn't have a way to keep the pump sitting flat.
Amazing By Jack on 1/14/2016Jack would recommend this product to a friendi have been looking for an ato for a while, and i found tunze's products. i didnt really want to spennd $200 on the osmolator, so i tried the nano osmolator. works great, and has an auto shut off just in case it fails. another quality product by tunze
Terrible By Brandon on 8/31/2015Brandon wouldn't recommend this product to a friendThe reason why the normal tunze osmolator does so well and sells so often is because the eye sensor it has well in this Nano version there's none witch makes this just as good as a lowest model auto top off u can buy for a few dollers or even make not worth it and don't use it trust me
Great Nano ATO By Sterling on 7/23/2015Sterling would recommend this product to a friendThis is an excellent ATO. I'm new to reefing and everywhere I read ATO's were on top of the suggestion list. I bought this with everything else to setup my new tank and I'm very glad I did. It was easy to setup, works as advertised, and leaves a little footprint. Worth the price and it's one less thing I need to worry about.
