Ich bekomme täglich solche Emails und habe mich darum entschlossen, der netten Lady doch auf ihr Email zu antworten. Natürlich kann ich nicht einfach den "Antwort"-Button klicken, sondern muss das Mail an "email@example.com" adressieren. Ich schrieb ihr also eine kleine nette Email. Die Antwort lies nicht lange auf sich warten:

Hi my new friend
Im glad to see that you have decided to reply,I see it is very short letter.
It is all right because you are astonished to get my letter. I want you to know that I have only good intentions and I have not any secrets. The thing is that I will work in your country for three months or so and I would like to meet a nice man to fall in love or just be closest friends. I don't want to live in Russia because I have not any chances here, it is hardly possible to explain from first time but I want you to know my plans. I will work in any shop, bar or restaurant the agency that i am going through will suggest me some locations. It will be my choice in the end as to what option to go for. So I will have a simple work till I improve my English. And I can choose any town of your area,agency ill only help me to get a visa and all travel documents + some suggested placed to work in. My best friend last year met the man from the USA when she worked there for three months, too. She had two jobs. From morning till 4 pm she worked in amusement park and after it she worked as a waitress in some bar till midnight.
She was very tired of course but made very good money there. It is special programm for young people who wants to work abroad and I think it is the right way for me , I am lost here,and I think that I look pretty enough to find a better place .I want to repeat the same way,it is only my chance to meet a nice man.I want to work in USA or in Europe or any nice country. I am full of plans and different dreams and I want to share my life with good man because I'm also full of love and tenderness,I know that I am not so beautiful like Hollywood Princess but I do hope to meet my Prince and I am sure he will be not be disappoined to meet me in the real life! This is why I am going to go through the same way.
Well, I will close this letter and I do hope to get your reply. I will leave russia in two weeks or so (I can't tell you everything exactly right now) and I would like tobe sure that I have the man who waits for me there. I will work all day and I want to find a man to spend all free time together to get to know each other better.if you have any interest to meet me I will be more than happy to meet you too. I will tell you all details about me and my life if you like my pictures and want to meet me! please send picture of you too!!! I write to you with my new mailbox email@example.com, please write letters now only on this mailbox.
I will wait your next letter.
Kiss you , Valentina (this is my name)!
Wieder eine andere Email-Adresse: firstname.lastname@example.com. Die Dame nennt sich also "Valentina" und sucht einen Freund. Sie hat mir sogar ein Foto von ihr mitgeschickt:
Hübsch! Da kann ich als Mann nicht nein sage. Ich schrieb also zurück und erhielt prompt erneut eine Antwort von ihr:

Hello my dear Alex, thank you for your answer!
At first I think I have to say that I am new in internet and I have only good intentions.you should know that I am not very good writer in english, please be patient to read mymessages and see many mistakes. to be fair I don't know what you want to know about me,in principleI am usual girl.I think I should tell you about me, my interests,tastes and hobbies.I think I will tell youabout things I want to know about you and you will know my future questions.I am 26 years old,my birthday is October, 5, 1981. I so much don't want to get older ,when I can see old women I am getting crazy to think that it is my future .I do all the best to keep my youth and I keep my body well.In spite of all difficultes here I am trying to be in good condition and I do a lot of exercises to be in good shape! I am about 172 cm tall (5.6) and my weight is about 56 kg. I've been told I look well enough, and I think that all women have own beaty. I have never been married and I don`t have children. I have one youngest sisters and it is great problem for us because we have only two rooms flat.you can't imagine what does it mean to be born in small town in Russia,there are not any chances to live well,to get a good job.All young people leave towns to search great luck in big cities but nobody waits for them there. I want to leave Russia,I know it sounds ugly but I know that I will be lost here like many young girls before me. It is not place to grow children and have stable future.I want to meet my right man. I think in future I can work as fitness trainer I have a certificate. My mother is my great problem too,she has a great dream to see me married and she wants to make me happy but I think it is only my business I am not a little child. She tells me every day that I should get married very soon… To be fair I am not sure I am able to explain all in first message I want to say so much! I just want you to know that I am not afraid to work,I am fairly goal oriented and I am sure you will be not disappoined to meet me in real life.I am going to spend three months abroad to work in any good place,agency promises to help me because it is only the way I can leave Russia.I will have all documents to travel in a few days and i will travel to Moscow then,from Moscow I will travel to you and they ask me about name of the city i am going to work, if you don't mind to meet me please tell me the name of your city and nearest international airport! I will book my flight from Moscow!I think it would be so great to meet my love and stay there forever. I know that it is not so easy like I think but I think it is possible that I meat my real love. I want to love and to be loved I want to build our own happiness, only me and my man there. I don't smoke,I tried to smoke when I was younger. I may have a glass of red dry vine,sometimes it helps to relax. I try to take care of my body and face. I know it is all I have. My soul may have any itnterst for you later, I thinkso.I am not a little girl and I know that at first almost all men look at body ,legs and face.God created males such persons. Well,I think I am lost in my letter,I am not sure you understand my goals,please feel free to ask. I live in Russia,town Hor, Dolores street 9, flat 37 ,it is near big city Habarovsk. My town is rather far from Moscow. I want you to reply if you understand my mind,my intentions,my soul,if not please reply too, I will continue my searching. Well, I will close this letter,I think you are tired to read it.and If you think that I should write shorter letters please tell me. I write from internet cafe in Habarovsk because there are not cafes and possibility to use internet in my small town,we have 4 digital phone number and we can't call abroad. Even to call in any big town here in Russia I have to order the call in advance.
and I would like to say please don't worry if I keep silence sometimes I have no time to travel ,it is about 25 minutes by bus from my town till Habarovsk Please tell me more about you,your tastes,likes and dislikes .also I have a few impotant questions do you like strong drinks too much?can you be very drunk?very ofthen?can you be rude with women? Well,I have to stop or I will write without ending.Kiss you !see you
later. In my next e-mail I will write you more things about myself and
more details about my trip and work.
I will miss you, your Valentina

Hello my dear Alex
I am so glad to see your letter again,I think I am a lucky girl to meet such man and I will do my best to meet you in real life! you know I can work in any city of your area because it is free choice and agency only helps me to get only travel documents and ticket, and I do hope that we will like each other and now I have the destination.The agency will also suggest some places to work in. I do hope I have met my right man!you know I have told you before one of my friend worked abroad last year and have met right man,now they live there and they are going to marry. by the way now they are arranging the trip to Russia,(he wants to meet her parents and friends) I think if I feel that you are my dream and you have the same feelings we could think about our future together. if not I will just work and return back when the time to travel back. you know I am new here and I am afraid to make any mistake. I have one great lack,I am very impatient sometimes I can act without thinking. Sometimes I think that my dream is getting for real and it is so bad to be disappointed later. I want you to know all small things about me because it shouldn't be any misunderstandings between us.I want you to know that I am not angel and sometimes I can show my character.And I don't wait that you to be angel too, I just want to meet a kind man . I am very kind and I can forgive almost all I can't forgive if my man sleep with different woman, I don't know many nessesary words in english. I hope you can read between lines. A little more about myself! my favorite activity is fitness. I wanted to be as fitness trainer but I finished The Habarovsk State Univercity, trainers faculty as fitness trainer but I don't work on my profession because there are no good fintess clubs in my city, I used to sit at home and to do all housework,helping my mom. I would like to have good job, I may work dancing teacher, or trainer of fitness,you know I have a certificate. I worked as a trainer a year ago . and I would like to do it again .you know how many more younger girls want to get this job too!Alot of competition here. I want to tell you about things I like: I like to make barbecue and I so much want to have my own home with fireplace. usually I make very tasty ones and in principle I like to cook and it is not problem for me to cook something tasty and I don't like to visit cafes and restaurants, at first usually they can't cook weel(maybe only here) and second too high price. I like warm weather. and my great dream is to live somewhere on tropical island. Also I want to tell you about my dislikes: I hate our long winters it seems to me they will never end. I hate lies and unfaithfulness. I hate evil people and politicans I think they like to play wars, I hate any ars. What I like in a man: faithfulness, honesty. He has to be open- minded and open-hearted, also easy-going. and much more important he is kind,kindness makes our world! Are you kind and gentle man ????? I think my man should be kind ,it is great feeling after love,only kind person may be happy, all rude people are unhappy. or must be. A few questions yet, agency tells that I will have a room in nearest hotel near my future work but if we like each other may be is it possible to live together?I think we will enjoy life together. do you have your car?animals? I can't drive and I do hope you give me a few lessons, to be fair I have so many plans .I will find out all travel details about my flight this week. I will leave my town today in a two hours and i think I will be not able to write to you today or so. When I am in Moscow I will send you short letter to let you know that I am all right and they tell that it takes about two days to get all nesseary papers.
Please don't look at different girls. I am the best(joke). Well, I will close this letter I think I am bore today,and please feel free to ask. See you soon!I can't believe everything is for real. to be fair I am lost and my head is like any big station with a lot of voice!
KISS and LOVE Valentina!
Sie hat also Fitness Trainerin an der Habarovsk State Univercity Studiert – nur komisch dass es diese Universität gar nicht gibt (Es gibt nur die KHABAROVSK STATE UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY und ich glaube kaum, dass man an einer Technischen Universität Fitness Trainerin Studieren kann…) Sie hat mir auch zwei Fotos von ihr sowie von der Stadt Khabarovsk zukommen lassen, in welcher sie angeblich wohnt:
Schön, sie reist also nach Moskau und wird sich wieder bei mir melden. Achja, der Header der Emails sieht wiefolgt aus:

My honey ! it is me,can you believe I am in Moscow. I can't believe ,it was wonderful flight and they gave red vine in plane, wow,I have never tried such tasty one!!!!! I went the bus up to the Subway from the airport .In Subway long went, it was so is delightful I was in travel agency today, but my documents are not ready yet, it will be ready tomorrow. I will go to travel agency again to get all info about my trip. And of course, when I will get it – I will send it to you! It is such great city and it takes a few hours to travel from one end to other. I rented the flat for few days. People said to me some nice places in Moscow while he was Such a great city it is. I have no words to explain. you can't imagine how great Moscow is,to be fair I wouldn't like to live here,a lot of cars,people , voice and pollution.Ugly traffic and people with crazy eyes. When I get off plane in airport Moscow policeman asked about passport and he looked at me like I am any enemy, I think all people here are a little crazy at terrorism.Life here in Moscow is expensive. I was going through some shops today and it is much more expensive than in our town. Food and all the general things. It is the same country but different prices, what a great change. I think people living in Moscow are very cautious ,I think so. But I think that I have done my choice and to be fair I don't want to live here,it is not the city of my dreams. you know I am not coward I am not afraid I know it is my chance to meet kind man .I do hope I am right. and I think you are too kind to make any bad things I feel it. Well, I will close this letter ,please write as soon as possible! see you soon!

there is only a small problem but I am sure we will be able to solve. I wanted to ask you to help me to pay for tickets but they tell that I can't use your help or ask you about sending me tickets because I have permission to use the help of agency only because they do all travel things and it is their
business to arrange all travel things for my jorney,it is the law.and it is not possible to get work visa without help of agency,too strong laws. I was sure that my mom will help me becasue she promised but now she sent letter that it is possible only in a few months or so because of family problems.and she can't send transfer now.I was in the bank to try to ask them about loan but they tell I have to have something to stay them and I have nothing to stay because I have only a few dress and things,some perfume and it is all I have,and small gift for you from russia with love.and I think it is not great problem for you to help me.I even think that maybe it will give you the pleasure to help me because you are my knight,rught? after all payments here and travel by plane I have about 300 US dollars my own money and I need about 990 US dollars from your side,because I have to pay for ticket and a few thigs yet,and I have to pay in advance about 1290 US dollars and if the tickets will
cost less i will get some money back. when we meet I will return this sum and some extra money because to send thransfer costs money too.I have to be sure that I will be able to book it or I will lose all the money I gave them in advance.I'm not going to ask one more time for your help,you see I am in hard situation.I will be waiting for your answer .I know it sounds like I am pooroutsider but you see I have not time or somebody to ask about help,you know my mom gave me all that we with mom
could collect for my travel.I hate to ask but now I don't have any other choice.you saw all my body and I believe you I have done almost all here and now I need some help from you,please help me to leave Moscow and it is all I ask now and you know I am full of the love to share with you. Kiss
you, counting days and minutes before our meeting.you know it is only money ,and I think that
it is not too hard for you to help me ,you see I have such chance only once in my life.I know you are kind man and I do hope you will be able to help me.I promise I will return all the money .and I will earn money because I am ready to work as hard as possible! Million Kisses, Your poor Valentina you know my rent address here is Russia, Moscow, Tihaja 17-20, zip 192174. Remember that my full name is GOGOLEWA -(last name). VALENTINA – (first name) it is right writting in English, and you should put it on western union list and you can choice any bank in Moscow,they tell it is international service and I can get money in any bank of Moscow. they tell I can get western union transfer or money gramm because I have not any bank accounts in Moscow and I have only passport and it is enough to get it! P.S. I am not sure I should tell this but I want to let you know that if you don't like me I will not bother you and it is only your choice to spend time with me I know you may be too busy,and in any case I will return money back .you know I will have rent room ,job and I want to say that you don't worry that I want to use you just for my goals.and I am sure that when we meet we will not regret about it,promise,and I hate people who imagined so many silly rules and laws. and I have only small suitcase with me.and I dream about our first meeting,our first night and I have some sexy night dress with me! and I think that now everything depends on you my hope and I will check my mail all day and all night because i can't sleep if Iam not sure that everything is all right and you can help,please dear don't leave me alone i have done so much and I am almost near you. and I can stay more than six months,I can stay longer it is possible if we fall in love and going to marry. But I think we need time to learn each other. and as soon as I got transfer ,they tell in the bank you should send me transfer number and I will be able to get transfer then, I will send exact schedule and number of the flight and terminal number and time
of my arriving to your airport.
Komisch dass ich bereits bei ihrem ersten Mail wusste, dass sie irgendwan einmal Geld von mir brauchen würde. Sie will, dass ich einen Teil ihrer Reisekosten in die Schweiz übernehme (990 US Dollar) und ihr das Geld an ein Western Union Konto überweisen soll:
Remember that my full name is GOGOLEWA -(last name). VALENTINA – (first name) it is right writting in English, and you should put it on western union list and you can choice any bank in Moscow,they tell it is international service and I can get money in any bank of Moscow.
Das hätte sie wohl gerne. Tja da muss die nette Lady leider in Moskau bleiben. Übrigens, eine Kopie ihres Passes hat sie mir auch zukommen lassen:
Ebenfalls seltsam: Es gibt gar keine "Travel Agency Blue River"!
Hinter solchen Spam-Mails stecken Russische Betrüger, welche auf das Geld einsamer Männer aus sind. Die Masche ist bekannt als "Russian Dating Scammer". Es gibt weder eine Habarovsk State Univercity noch existiert eine Travel Agency namens "Blue River". Täglich erreichen mich knapp ein Duzent solcher Emails wo Isabel, Valentina & Co mein Herz erobern möchten. Deshalb gilt:
Finger weg von den hübschen Ladies!

Family: Alcidae, Auks, Murres, Puffins view all from this family
Description ADULT SUMMER Has very dark brown plumage that in most situations appears almost jet-black. Note, however, contrasting gleaming white face. Eye has white iris and red orbital ring, and shaggy golden-yellow tufted plumes arise from behind eye. Laterally flattened bill is massive and horny-looking. Lower mandible is orange-red while upper mandible has orange-red outer half and yellow inner half; note swollen orange base of gape. ADULT WINTER Has entirely dark sooty brown plumage. Eye has pale iris and dull red orbital ring. Bill has smaller plates than in summer and is mainly dull orange, but grubby yellow toward base of upper mandible. JUVENILE Similar to winter adult in plumage terms, but has much smaller, shallower, and stubbier bill.
Dimensions Length: 14 1/2-15 1/2" (37-39 cm)
Habitat Widespread breeding species on Pacific coast, from California (where it is scarce and very local) to Alaska (where it is locally abundant). In breeding season, often seen swimming in inshore seas in vicinity of colonies. Nests in burrows on islands. Outside breeding season, more widespread, but mainly pelagic and offshore.
Observation Tips Easy to see in breeding season if you visit a colony. Otherwise, sightings relate to chance encounters at sea.
Range Western Canada, California, Northwest, Alaska
Voice Mainly silent although incubating birds utter grumbling calls from within burrows.
Discussion Large, plump-bodied and unmistakable alcid, particularly so in breeding season when its head adornments and bill colors lend it an almost comical appearance. Swims sedately and dives frequently after fish. In flight, which is direct and powerful, bright orange-red feet and legs are obvious; webbed feet are proportionately large. Adopts upright posture when standing on rock. Sexes are similar.

To the Editors:
I found Howard Wainer's Macroscope column on the power of convention "Why Is a Raven Like a Writing Desk?" (November–December 2008) quite enjoyable. I would like to add one of the most depressing examples of convention's stifling effect: The antiquated system of British Imperial units used in the United States. The metric system clearly is superior: All units are based on precise standards, most of which can be independently recreated in the laboratory. But even more important, in the metric system measures connected by geometrical laws convert easily into each other: a cube of 1 meter side length holds 1 cubic meter of water, a kilometer is equal to 1,000 meters. Quick: how many fluid ounces fit in one cubic foot? How many inches in a mile? These disparate units confuse endless generations of school children. The power of convention and tradition and inertia inherent in the world's largest economy has stymied attempts to join the rest of the world.
Sebastian KuhnNorfolk, Virginia
Wainer's points are well taken with respect to graphic representation of data and the QWERTY versus Dvorak keyboards. But English spelling? If it were phonetic, which dialect or accent would rule? Aside from geographical differences (regional, national), there will be temporal differences (historical evolution), for example: "the great vowel shift." In the early days of written English, a particular regional dialect was preferred; it could just as well have been another.
Could we order up a worldwide reform of English, including a provision that our children pronounce words exactly the same as we (the reformers) decide?
Morton NadlerBlacksburg, VA
Wainer in his entertaining article doesn't explain the perverse endurance of established conventions. The strength of any conventional design is its very familiarity.
For pie charts, unlike dot charts, it is self-evident there is a "whole" divided into its constituent parts (which could also be arranged in order of decreasing size). Where part-whole relationships are significant, the pie chart should have an advantage. About keyboard layout: first, most people don't type for a living and are satisfied with adequate rather than optimum efficiency; second, even hunt-and-peck typists can leverage their motor memory to advantage when the layout is familiar.
Bill BensonKensington, CA
The pie chart on page 447 (November–December 2008) has organic waste at 37.3 percent and paper waste at 30.8 percent, but the organic section shown is smaller. Oops?
R. F. TrimbleCarbondale, IL
Dr. Wainer responds:
It would be hard to summon an argument for the English system of measurement over the metric. I will not try to do so. But the metric system is not perfect. In measuring human weight, the kilogram is a bit too large and the gram way too small. In this era of obesity, if we waited to diet until after gaining an extra kilo rather than an extra pound, we would lose valuable time. In the same way, one degree Celsius is a tad large, whereas degrees Fahrenheit seem right. Connecting across measures within the English system is not always odious. Consider the ancient "a pint's a pound the world around" that connects liquid volume and weight accurately and with more charm than 1 cubic centimeter = 1 gram.
The pie's chief advantage over the dot chart is indeed the visual reinforcement of how all pieces sum to 100 percent. But that's it. I opted to present dot charts rather than bars for many reasons—a leading one grows from Tufte's data-ink ratio. The only part of the bar that conveys information is the line marking its end. The rest serves only to hold up that line. A dot chart emphasizes the aspect of the icon conveying information; its data-ink ratio is much higher.
The pie chart that appeared with my essay had an error that unintentionally illustrated another flaw in the form. The version I prepared attempted to duplicate the original from the New York Times that had a pseudo 3-D effect. Thus the segments were proportioned differently to provide perspective. American Scientist editors correctly dismissed the 3-D effect as specious and omitted it. They and I missed that the perspective remained and yielded the error many readers noticed. My apologies.
Last, I purposely omitted a discussion about which pronunciation a standard spelling of English should represent. Such a choice would have to be made.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 4:45 PM GMT on July 25, 2011
Last week's U.S. heat wave has finally subsided, and most of the Northeast will see some cool highs in the 70s today. Unfortunately, the Midwest, and mid-Atlantic will continue to see high temperatures in the 90s for the rest of this week, and the southern Plains will be forced to continue to endure triple-digits.
According to the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), 2,100 daily high maximum temperature records have been set so far in July 2011, and 51% of those were set last week. 4,734 daily high minimum temperature records have been set so far this month, and 55% of those were set last week. Here's a breakdown of last week's records for the period July 18 through July 24:
High Maximum:
• 1,076 warmest maximum temperature for the date
• 90 warmest maximum temperature for the month of July
• 56 warmest maximum temperature of all time
High Minimum:
• 2,595 warmest minimum temperature for the date
• 207 warmest minimum temperature for the month of July
• 123 warmest minimum temperature of all time
The number of warm minimum temperatures is especially disturbing, as these tend to have more of an impact on health than the high maximums. When the temperature remains high at night, it prevents the body from being able to recover from the day's heat. According to NOAA, from July 1 through July 19, there were 22 heat-related deaths in the United States. Reuters is reporting that 34 deaths resulted from this heat wave. In an average year, heat remains the number one weather-related killer in this country. In some ways, the overnight low temperatures are the best way to quantify a heat wave, possibly even better than the heat index.
Figure 1. Map of daily high maximum temperature records for the period July 1 through July 25 from NCDC. Red circles without an X denote a broken record; red circles with an X denote a tied record.
Tropical Overview
The wave formerly known as Invest 90L
The wave formerly known as Invest 90L is moving slowly west through the Caribbean near Jamaica. A new burst of convection started this morning, which will undoubtedly produce some heavy rain over southern Cuba and Jamaica. While low-level circulation has remained about the same since late last week, the wave has become top-heavy with increased circulation at higher levels (700-500mb). None of the models (GFS, ECMWF, CMC, NGPS, UKMET) are developing this wave as tracks into the Gulf of Mexico, and they're all in agreement that the path will be toward far southern Texas or northern Mexico, except for the ECMWF deterministic run, which hints that it will take a turn toward the northern Gulf. However, this model hasn't shown actual development from the wave since Tuesday or Wednesday of last week.
NHC has dropped this invest as of Saturday afternoon, but it remains on their radar. They're giving the wave a 0% chance to form over the next 48 hours. Given the recent uptick in mid-level circulation, I'd imagine they're still a little concerned about the potential for this wave to fire-up again once it's in the Gulf, and it will surely be of concern for Cuba as it tracks westward. However, given the lack of model support for almost 7 days in a row now, I'd say this wave has seen its glory come and go.
Figure 2. Visible tropical Atlantic satellite captured at 11:14am EDT on Monday.
Other North Atlantic waves
There are a couple other waves to speak of that have left the coast of Africa in the past few days, one located near 40W and the other closer to Africa, around 30W, which is tangled up in the monsoon trough. The former is expected to take a southerly track, skirting northern South America, and possibly into the Bay of Campeche. Given this track, none of the models are suggesting it will develop. However, tropical cyclones that spin up in the Bay of Campeche generally have a short forecast lead time, so it's something to watch. The latter wave could take a slightly more northern track through the Caribbean islands, and a couple of the models seem to favor this wave for development at the end of their runs.
Tropical wave activity has been lacking so far this season, but climatologically we should see an increase in African easterly waves in August and September.

RX2 Double Request to ExitThe RX2 feature uses two RX switches.
To Order, Specify:Standard – Use prefix RX2, example RX299EO
LX Latchbolt MonitoringThe LX feature is used to signal the use of an opening. This device is equipped with one internal SPDT switch which monitors the latch bolt.
The LX switch option should not be used to control a load, but as a signalling switch (0.5 amps. resistive maximum).
The LX switch is available in a low current (LC) switch. Most commonly used in computer operated monitoring systems.
To Order, Specify:Standard – Use prefix LX, example LX99EOLow Current – Use prefix LX-LC, example LX-LC98EO
Electrical Rating for all Switches:Standard – 2 Amp maximum @ 24VDCLow Current (LC) - below 50 Milliamps @ 24VDC
Note: All Switches can be either factory or field installed
SS Signal SwitchMonitors pushpad and latch boltThe SS feature is used to signal the unauthorized use of an opening. This device is equipped with two internal SPDT switches. One switch monitors both the pushpad and the latch bolt assembly, making the latch bolt tamper resistant, for positive security. An additional SPDT switch is connected to the 1 1/4" (32mm) mortise cylinder with straight cam for alarm "bypass." (Schlage cam reference B502-191). The device can be connected to a security console, or may be used as a single door alarm when used with a horn and power supply. A continuous current electric transfer must be used for transferring power from the frame to the door.
Pushpad reads: "EMERGENCY EXIT ONLY – PUSH TO OPEN AND SOUND ALARM." Pushpad is only available in US32D finish with red silk-screened lettering.
The SS mortise lock device is furnished with both the signal switch device and the SS7500 mortise lock. The SS7500 mortise lock has the versatility and advantages of the 7500 lock with the addition of signalling functions to monitor latch bolt operation and the trim locking function. The SS7500 mortise lock is supplied standard with the SS mortise lock device.
To Order, Specify:1. Prefix SS, example SS99L.2. Handing Required, LHR or RHR.
Electrical Ratings:Up to 2.0 AMPS @ 24VDC
Popular SS ApplicationUnauthorized use of this opening will activate the local horn. The key switch permits inhibiting this systemfor authorized entry.
CX The Chexit™Designed for use on delayed exit applications, the Chexit system is ideal for controlled areas.
All controls, auxiliary locking, local alarm, and remote signalling are self-contained in the Chexit, providing safe, secure, easy to install and simple to operate door control and exit hardware.
Chexit controlled exit device for use on Panic or Fire Exit hardware applications.
This concept in delayed exit systems combines life safety with the needs of security and meets all requirements of NFPA 101 for "Special Locking Arrangement."
The Chexit device includes a 6" x 20" decal for application on door.
Minimum width door opening:
Consult factory for other size requirements.
Solenoid Specifications:
Requires PS914 Power Supply
Request to Exit Switch: Built into the device to detect when someone attempts to exit. Pushing the push pad when the device is armed will cause this switch to start an irreversible alarm cycle.
Nuisance Alarm: When a Chexit is located in a public area, it can be desireable to limit false alarms. If the Nuisance Delay options are set to off, the device will go into alarm as soon as the push pad is touched (when armed). Turning the Nuisance Delay on will require the push pad to be pressed for 1 second before the Chexit goes into alarm. If the Nuisance Audible and Nuisance Delay are both on, the alarm will sound as soon as the push pad is pressed, but the alarm sequence will stop unless the push pad is held for 1 second or more.
Remote Alarm: A set of relay contacts are provided to give external alarm indication. These contacts close when the device is in an irreversible alarm condition. These contacts can be used to drive a horn, lamp, or other indicative device.
Key Switch: The Key Switch provides the means to arm, disarm or reset the Chexit. The key can be removed in either the Arm or Disarm position.
Indicator Lamp: The status of the Chexit can be determined by the indicator lamp. When the lamp is off, this indicates the device is disarmed and is functioning as a normal exit device (no delay). A continuously on lamp indicates the device has just been armed and as soon as the selectable rearm timer expires, the device will arm. A slow flashing lamp indicates the device is armed. A fast flashing indicator lamp indicates the device is in alarm.
Internal Horn: Whenever the device is in alarm or the push pad is pressed the internal horn will sound. The volume level of this horn exceeds 85 db at 6 feet.
Door Position Input:An external door position switch can be connected to the Chexit.
External Inhibit Input: This optional input is provided to allow remote override of the Chexit in the armed condition. It also allows remote reset of the Chexit in an alarmed condition.
Fire Alarm Input:This input disables the Chexit immediately upon a fire alarm.
Internal Auxiliary Lock: The Auxiliary Lock is engaged when the Chexit is armed. The locking mechanism is specifically designed to hold securely even when the exit device is struck with forceful blows.
User Defineable Rearm Time: The Rearm time is the amount of time after the device is activated before it arms. It is designed to give someone time to pass through the door before rearming oocurs. Timing can be changed by the user for any time between 2 and 28 seconds in two second increments. There is also an infinite rearm setting that requires the use of an external door position switch. In this setting the door remains in the rearm mode until the door is closed. This can be useful on jet way doors in an airport.
Factory Defineable Delay Time: Most jurisdictions allow 15 seconds of delay before allowing egress. In those cases where 15 seconds is not appropriate, Von Duprin can set the Chexit for any delay time between 0 and 60 seconds on 2 second increments. For delays greater than 15 seconds a letter from the local authority is required.
Chexit Typical ApplicationChexit Single Door with Options – The Chexit is used as an access control device. The card reader allows access. Also shown in this application is an external horn and door position switch. The auxiliary horn is used for increased volume in remote locations. Using a door position switch gives added security to the opening in case the door is not reclosed.
With the Chexit disarmed, the opening functions as a normal exit device. If card readers are required on both sides of the door, the normally closed contacts of the readers should be weird in series.
ALK Alarm KitThe ALK battery alarm kit is a simple yet effective way to deter unauthorized use of an opening. While the exit device is still a means of egress, the ALK kit contains an internal horn. When the touch bar is depressed, the horn sounds to provide an audible means of signaling that the opening has been violated. The alarm kit can be armed or disarmed by key. The horn is rated at 85 decibel.
For Hardware Applications The assembly includes both a 24VDC Input and External Inhibit. The External Inhibit provides remote arming and dis-arming.
The key switch uses a standard 1 1/4" (32mm) mortise cylinder with a straight cam (Schlage 20-001, B502-191 cam). The unit operates on one standard 9-volt alkaline battery. When the battery is weak, the horn will emit an intermittent low battery alert signal.
The alarm can be re-armed with a 1 1/2, 3 or 4 1/2 second time delay.
Alarm kits are available with a choice of two switch kits, RX or LX. RX monitors the touchpad and is furnished standard. LX optional latch bolt monitoring is recommended for use with surface vertical rod exit devices. Specify ALK-LX.
Note: For latch bolt monitoring on a 98/9975 with ALK, specify a SS7500 lock. LX switch not available for 98/9975 devices.
The ALK is available in two styles, 99ALK, grooved cover and 98ALK, smooth cover.
The ALK includes a 6" x 20" decal for application on door "EMERGENCY EXIT ONLY. ALARM WILL SOUND. "SS push bar trim can be used instead of the door decal, specify SS push bar trim.
When the ALK is used, standard dogging is removed. If cylinder dogging is required there are two choices. Special center case dogging is available or for 3' or 4' doors the ALK can be moved to the hinge side of the device and standard cylinder dogging can be added.
To Order, Specify:1. Standard, 98 ALK2. Cylinder Dogging, CD98 ALK3. Special Center Case Dogging, SD98 ALK
Minimum Door Opening Sizes on ALK Applications
E Electric Mortise Lock DeviceThe electric mortise lock device has all the versatility and advantages of the standard mortise lock device, plus the advantage of being electrically controlled by a remote switching device, an access control system or an automatic fire alarm system. The device features the E7500 mortise lock. The E7500 controls the locking of the outside trim. When unlocked, the door remains latched, preserving the fire rating of the door and making it particularly useful where codes permit locking but require unlocking during a fire emergency. The outside trim cylinder retracts the latch bolt for mechanical override, night latch function. Only available with TP, K or L functions.
The E7500 lock contains a SPDT signal to monitor the outside trim condition (locked or unlocked) and a second SPDT signal switch to monitor the latch bolt.
Standard Features:
Optional Features:
Note: Some Fire codes will require "Fail Safe" (FS) operation for stairwell doors.Be sure to specify the correct operation for your application.
Electrical Specifications:
The E option does not include the power transfer from door to frame, the power supply or the control operator. (Refer to EPT-10 and PS902 or PS914 power supply)
To Order, Specify:1. Use prefix "E," example E9975.2. FS or FSE3. Voltage and current.
Electric Mortise Lock DeviceAdaptable for openings where continuous latching is required while the trim may be electrically locked or unlocked from a remote location—stairwells, exterior doors, etc.

EL Electric Latch RetractionThe EL feature allows for the remote unlatching of exit devices. A control station operator can flip a switch to retract the latch bolt and immediately change an exit door to push-pull operation. A powerful, continuous duty solenoid retracts the latch bolt, either for momentary unlatching, or for extended periods of time. The EL feature is an alternative to manual dogging.
If manual hex-key dogging is required, specify HD-EL. If cylinder dogging is required, the standard cylinder dogging is not available, but special center case dogging is available, specify SD-EL. SD-EL is not available on the 9875 or 9975 devices.
EL devices are also useful with automatic door operators, and may be applied to fire-rated applications when under the control of an automatic fire alarm system.
UL approved for Class II circuit applications.
The EL option does not include the power transfer from door to frame, the power supply, or the control operator. Refer to EPT-2 power transfer and the PS914 power supply.
The PS914 with the 871-2 option card is the minimum option card required. Other option cards available for other functions, see PS914 power supply for additional information.

98/99 Mechanical Options
XP Extra PerformanceFor increased security the XP98/99 Rim Exit Device has a static load force resistance of more than 2,000 pounds, twice that of standard exit devices. The two-piece latch bolt forms a 90° latch-to-strike contact. The "smart" latch changes shape when subjected to external forces. This design enables the exit door to withstand an external attack and remain secure. Additionally, the patented latch bolt design provides a greater, longer-lasting latch bolt to strike contact which is not easily affected by the twisting motion of a weakened frame, resulting in an opening that will remain strong.
With a door loaded to 250 pounds, XP98/99 requires less than 40 pounds of pressure to open, 25% less than the safety code requires.
XP98/99 is available for panic or fire exit hardware applications. Dimensions, finishes and trim options are equal to the standard rim exit device.

PN Pneumatic Controlled Exit DevicesThe PN feature provides remote latch bolt retractionin hazardous areas where electrically operated devices would not be permitted. The pneumatic solenoid will retract the latch bolt for momentary or prolonged periods. PN exit devices are particularly suited for use with automatic door operators. The PN feature is available on both Panic and Fire Exit Hardware devices.
The PN feature includes a special actuating linkage that gives building owners the option of mechanically or pneumatically dogging the exit device. If manual hex-key dogging is required, specify HD-PN (Dogging the device, whether mechanically or pneumatically, makes the device function as a push/pull unit and reduces the wear on its moving parts.) If cylinder dogging is required, the standard cylinder dogging is not available, but special center case dogging is available, specify SD-PN. SD-PN is not available on the 9875 or 9975 devices.
When activated pneumatically, the latch bolt(s) of the exit device retract in 1/2 to 1 1/2 seconds. This pneumatic operation uses air pressure ranging from 50 to 100 pounds per square inch.

Whales Stranded In the Everglades as Response Budgets Dwindle
Posted On December 11, 2013 by Libby Fetherston
Whales are mysterious creatures, as the scene that unfolded in the Everglades last week has taught us. Over 50 pilot whales stranded themselves in a remote part of Everglades National Park, and scientists are still unsure what caused this to happen. Strandings are not uncommon, because whales are very social animals, and they are known to gather around a sick member of their pod.
This pod of short-finned pilot whales traveled into just three feet of water – a far cry from the deep Gulf of Mexico where they are common – and responding to this emergency fell to a few knowledgeable groups. A group of 31 first-responders spent days helping the whales to navigate unfamiliar shallows for a 20-mile return journey to more suitable waters. In the end, the pod was last seen swimming back out to sea, but 22 of their members died in the Everglades.

|the Rod Rack Rod Builder's Forum
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|it is also from cebelas
Whose blank you going to use?
good to see you decided to get registered caddisfly777
i am getting the im7 blank instead of the PT
I ended up buying a damon rods 6'6" 2wt that is a true fast action. Also check Dan Craft's web site as he also make great quality rods <http://www.dancraftent.com/loadit.html>
Then get your self a great book on rodbuilding ... Either Tom Kirkman's Rod building guide http://rodmakermagazine.com/cgi-bin/...rchandise.html
or the other I use is by L.A. Garcia.
Lot's of great advise from those with more experience than I have. Here's a page that may help or at least entertain.
the components are not going to be the best the reel seat is only 20 bucks so it is not that expensive
i'll look at the ft rod blanks
i want a short medium action 2 weight that is why i chose the pt
i was figuring on taking my time and it will take me a while to get all of the compenents also
Sean - I hope you're ready for a real "noodle" blank with the PT! I have built a rod on their FT ("fast action" equates to moderate fast at best with other brands), as well as their progressive taper SLi; the point is, I find both of these blanks to be much slower than comparable action blanks as advertised. The PT is one I haven't built, however I'd be willing to bet that it's really slow.
Honestly, I'd have a look at some of the blanks by St. Croix or Loomis if I was going to build with components from Cabelas. If you haven't gotten their Tackle Craft catalog with all the blanks and rod-building materials they offer, call them up and request one. You'll find that your options really multiply.
Also, I'd suggest having a look at shops such as Custom Tackle, Hook and Hackle, and Shoff, all of which can be found on the web and all of which have some pretty good components at reasonable prices.
I know that a 2-weight requires a delicate touch and soft rod, but I think I'd see about actually casting with that PT before I built a rod with top of the line components on it. If it's the first rod you've built, think seriously about buying one of their complete kits with "standard" components for less money; build that one and fish it. Then you can decide if the blank warrants building another with the really slick seat, guides, etc. Just some thoughts... Good luck!
You'll need a stripping guide, I suggest a #8 one. To figuyre number of guides you need figure 1 guide per foot of rod length, this includes the stipping guide. So for a 6'6" fod, you would need 1 stripping guide and 6 snake guides, plus a rod tip (or top) guide. Also, don't forget to get a rod top and size A thread in the color you desire. A thread burnisher is worth having (they are less than $2.00 usually) to pack the thread after the guide is wrapped (I don't remember if Cabella's includes this in the rod building set), and don't forget the rod finish.
A rod case of some sort with a cheap and very strong one being PVC sewer pipe in 1 1/2" cut to length with a PVC cap vlued to one end and left unglued so it provides a friction fit on the other side. And don't forget a rod bag to protect the rod from scatches when it is in the rod case.
The spine finder is really not necessary to build a rod or find the spine. To find the spine either: 1) place the butt portion of the rod section on a table while holding the tip of the section with your index finger; then use your other hand to bend the section by using it to put pressure on the middle of the rod section; roll the rod section while putting pressure on it and the spine will automatically roll up to the top. (the blank will sort of "jump" or "kick" when the spine rolls up; or 2) place the thick end of the rod section under the edge of a table; hold the section with you fingers at the top of the section; put upward pressure on the section with you other hand and the spine will roll to the bottom.
Why spend the money for a spine finder when you don't need to? Instead, use the money to get something else (like the best quality TiCH snake guides).
Enjoy the rod building process, take your time, and let us know how it turned out. It is addicting though, just like tying and fishing.
i want to get this post going again because i am going to get all the materials i need from cabelas
6'6" PT blank 2 weight 2 pc butt diameter .285" tip size 4.5
REC lightweight black fly reel seats cocobola
REC extra select cork grips AA cigar grip
snake guides in black don't know how many i need
fuji hook keeper small
i am also going to get the spine finder
cabelas premium rod building set and some other things
could you guys tell me if there is anything else i might need?
|John Desjardins
|Tony has a good point about the customizing of rods. This is probably the major reason that I build rods. I've found out through the years that the grip & guides that I like for light weight rods are not available in factory rods.
The truth of the matter is that the amount of money you save isn't always alot(depending on what components you use and how much you pay for them) and if you are simply building a rod to factory specs,then you might find a factory rod cheaper than you can build one on EBAY(whatever rod you like,it WILL show up there eventually).
The nice thing about building your own rod though,besides the fact that it is ALOT of fun,is that the number of quality components available to the custom rod builder these days is staggering.It enables you to build a BETTER rod than a factory rod and use far nicer components than you could ever get from a factory built rod.Trust me,95% of factory rods have low to mid end components on them and are nowhere near as good as some components that you can use on your custom built rod.If you think Sage or Winston rods have nice reelseats,take a look at some of the amazing works of art by Robert Venerri or Bellinger.There's no comparison.Also,you have the option of using todays high end ceramics,which,aside from stripper guides,are not available on factory rods(except the Lamiglass Esprit Concept).The best thing about building your own rod is you can build your rod to suit YOU.That means if you want a different kind or shape cork,then you can have it!If you want pink and purple wraps,you can have it!You're only limited by your imagination(and sometimes money).Don't build a rod to save money.If you save money then that is simply a bonus,although you CAN save ALOT of money if you do some searching for deals on components(I just got some Scott G 4wt blanks for $110 each and a $100 Bellinger ULSB-DLX seat for $50 so there are deals to be had if you look for them).I guarantee that saving money won't be as big of an issue once you get started building.It's addicting!Once you see how many incredible components,especially reelseats,are available to you and you see how you can build a BETTER rod than factory ones,then you'll know why people choose to build rods.It's a very satisfying accomplishment too.
|ok it turns out that i won't save that much money they rod costs $345 and for all of the supplies that i need to get it will cost me around $300 to make
Sean, It's lots of fun and very satisfying to roll your own. I've only built a couple rods so I cannot give expert advise but I learned some things along the way. You may find this link to the Rodrack interesting, it has a story of what I learned building my first rod. You will see some pictures of my home made wrapping jig there.
The site lists some of the experience rod builders, including John who has already responded to this thread. These guys are a great source of info and offer great advise. If you are interested in adding your own story to the chronicles we'd all like to hear your tale. E-mail or PM me if you are interested. I need to do some more work on the Rodrack now that we are in the dead of Winter. I think Juro must be nearing completion on the 10wt with all the spare time he has We should see something on that any day now.
Yep, you'll save the money and you'll end up with a great rod that will probably look a heck of a lot better than a factory rod.
This site is really helpful. www.rodbuilding.org

Achieving energy efficiency with modern school construction
One of the considerations given with the new construction currently under way in our schools is the importance of balancing indoor air quality with energy efficiency.
Indoor air quality affects not only the health of students and faculty, but comfort levels necessary to foster an adequate learning environment.
A challenge in balancing efficiency with comfort levels in school buildings is the required amount of outside air necessary to be brought in for optimal indoor air quality. In response, significant upgrades are being implemented to current ventilation and mechanical systems.
New, more effective air handling units use exhausted air to re-heat the incoming outside fresh air. On extremely cold days such as we have been experiencing, it requires less energy to heat the outside air coming in by using exhausted air pulled out of the building already at room temperature that helps maintain heat in the equipment warming the incoming outside air.
Another issue to factor in is temperature control. Buildings primarily composed of concrete hold a thermal mass of hot or cold, depending on outside temperatures, that is slowly released over several hours. With outside temperatures changing up to 50 degrees or more overnight in our climate, additional challenges are presented in achieving proper balance.
In addition, several hundred individuals within the building and the resulting impact of their body heat, as well as heat that is lost through windows, doors and walls, all impact indoor building temperatures.
Doors left open or repeatedly opened at the start and end of the school day for several minutes in subzero weather quickly cool down hallways. To counteract this effect, new air lock entryways have been incorporated into the building plans that will trap cold air before it enters the main building.
Further energy effectiveness has been achieved with the replacement of the original school boilers installed in 1965 offering approximately 75 percent efficiency with new, 99 percent efficient boilers.
This means a difference of 25 percent heat loss versus a 1 percent heat loss through exhaust.
Other improvements have been achieved with the addition of increased roof insulation, insulating exterior walls and replacement of old, inefficient exterior windows and doors.
Energy proficient lighting, motion detectors to turn lights off in unoccupied areas and variable speed drives on most motors operating air handlers and heating pumps, as well as the installation of energy efficient water heaters are all examples of some of the efforts that have been implemented to maximize efficiencies resulting in overall, long term cost savings.
Our district is very fortunate to have the modern upgrades that will benefit the school district and community for years to come.
(Mark Mortenson is director of buildings and grounds for the Pequot Lakes School District.)

Hilldale announces new stores, design
Sur La Table, Pure Barre some of new stores coming to mall
MADISON, Wis. - The first group of new retailers that will open in the newly designed Hilldale mall were announced Tuesday.
The newly designed project, expected to open the fall of 2014, is being developed by WS Development from Massachusetts, according to the release. The firm's plan for Hilldale includes an open-air lifestyle layout with new stores.
The plan proposes to take the existing enclosed mall area between Metcalfe's and Macy's and create an open-air streetscape, officials said. The plan shows outward facing storefronts along the existing streets in the area, and adds an open-air retail connection through a pedestrian walkway to the west parking lot with additional storefronts.
Some of the stores coming to the new Hilldale development include Sur La Table and Pure Barre. Sur La Table offers cookware, cutlery, kitchen electronics and bake ware. Pure Barre offers a unique exercise experience that uses small isometric movements at the ballet barre set to music. Morgan Shoes, Stride Rite and New Balance, all current Hilldale stores, will also be moving to the new development.
"As a long-time tenant and staple of Hilldale Shopping Center, we are delighted to be part of the development of the center. It is sure to offer a dynamic new shopping experience for the Madison Market and will be an amenity to the area," Ken Morgan, owner of Morgan Shoes, Stride Rite and New Balance, said in the release.
Construction is scheduled to begin in early 2014, according to the release.

All routers I have show all devices they have dealt with in the arp table. Localnet traffic may not go through the router, so if the device never contacts the router with an WAN (non-localnet) request, it is possible the device mac address may not end up in the arp table. I have the ability to ping from my router. That almost guarantees an entry in the arp table.What is your concern about the mac address? If you want to know if it is assigning the correct mac address from the SD, then Serial.print() the mac address when you get it from the SD card before assigning it to the w5100.edit: If you use dhcp to get an ip, you should be able to find the mac address in the dhcp lease records in the router.Here is a post that shows my code for using the SD card to store network settings.http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,128763.msg976118.html#msg976118

Cemetery association gives deeds to 80 grave sites to Backus Legion
In appreciation for the service veterans provide for their country and their community, the Backus Evergreen Cemetery Association presented the Backus American Legion with deeds to 80 new grave sites.
"We've had a good working relationship with the Legion and they do a lot of things for our community," said Tom Holden, cemetery association vice president.
Holden added that in addition to wanting to meet the needs of current veterans, the association wanted to provide sites for those now serving in the wars on terrorism and for soldiers who serve in the military in the future.
He said prior to the gift the numbers of remaining sites reserved by the association for the Legion was limited. He noted that the Legion in the past provided financial assistance to the cemetery for a new building and lawnmowers. The cemetery contains a veterans memorial, the location of the Legion post's annual Memorial Day services.
The sites were given to the Legion to use as the organization sees fit, Holden said. The Legion is expected to develop guidelines for their use, said Commander William Taylor, who accepted the deeds from the association on behalf of the Legion.

Facebook (FB) shares are down 74 cents, over 1%, at $67.32, after the company this afternoon said in an 8-K filing with the Securities & Exchange Commission that it will acquire real-time chat vendor WhatsApp in a cash and stock deal worth $19 billion — $12 billion in Facebook stock, $4 billion in cash, and another $3 billion in restricted-stock grants to WhatsApp employees.
Not a bad payoff for an outfit that reportedly has raised a grand total of $9 million in venture capital money from Sequoia. WhatsApp has 55 employees.
Update: In a follow-up press release, Facebook disclosed the WhatsApp service has 450 million people using it, of whom 70% are active on any given day. The total number of messages on the service is approaching the total volume of all SMS text messages globally, said Facebook.
Said Facebook CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg, "WhatsApp is on a path to connect 1 billion people. The services that reach that milestone are all incredibly valuable. I've known Jan for a long time and I'm excited to partner with him and his team to make the world more open and connected," referring to Jan Koum, co-founder of WhatsApp.
For his part, Koum remarked that "WhatsApp's extremely high user engagement and rapid growth are driven by the simple, powerful and instantaneous messaging capabilities we provide."
"We're excited and honored to partner with Mark and Facebook as we continue to bring our product to more people around the world."
Facebook management will host a conference call with analysts at 6 pm, Eastern time, today, to discuss the deal. You can catch a webcast of the discussion on Facebook's investor relations home page.
Update 2: Facebook shares have deepened there decline, now down $3.06, or 4.4%, at $65.
Update 3: Perhaps because the acquisition validates the worth of BlackBerry's (BBRY) "BBM" messaging service, BlackBerry stock is up 53 cents, or almost 6%, at $9.54 in late trading.
