HRV Install and balancing questions
I would like to install a HRV system this winter and have a few questions.
Our house is a single story ranch with full basement, combined about 2000 sq ft. I would like to run a dedicated duct system for the HRV and not tap into the forced air return of our furnace. I am thinking of installing 3 returns and 3 supplies for the HRV. 1 stale return in the basement, 1 stale return in the kitchen/dinning area, and the last stale return in the bathroom. The fresh air supplies would be, 1 in the basement, 1 in the living room, and the last in the hallway that connects to the 3 bedrooms.
1) Any issues with the above thought process of ducting this way?
2) I have 2x8" rim joist, will I be ok to drill a 6 1/2" hole to install my 6" supply and exhaust hoods?
3) What would you recommend to purchase for a DIY to check for balancing this system?
4) I want to use 3 1/2" x 10" duct to use just in the wall cavities then convert to 6" round in the basement, am I ok cutting the wall bottom plates to install these from the basement? I plan on only installing in interior walls.
5) Our basement has forced air furnace without combustion air supply, gas hot water heater without combustion supply and an electric dryer vented to the outside. I am thinking of supplying slightly more fresh air to the basement to help positive pressurize, any thoughts? Our home energy audit did show a negative pressure when all appliances running.
6) The HRV I want is a recirculting type when defrosting, where should I route the 5th duct for this recirculation cycle?
7) Any thoughts on using a controller with humidistat to operate the HRV, running constant low or run using the humidistat?
After going back and forth of a HRV vs fresh air ducted into furnace return I think the HRV is the best solution hopefully. I have looked at the Fantech brand which run about 70's efficency and are priced about 800$ with shipping.
Thanks for any input :thumbsup:

Poem of the Month: July 2008
First sonnet
The boards were taken back to apricot,
and the walls were fresh-painted ivory, bare,
the sawdust vacuumed up, that had not
slipped, between the cracks, or hung in the air.
As books hold thoughts together, and give light,
this room had been my heart's book, whose pages
had held my stories, put shadows to flight,
and kept me whole through other purges.
Memories clink and touch and slowly wear,
they crumble under rugs, rub away slow,
like old coins lost in the back of a chair,
in friction between the then and the now.
Now stripped and sanded, all my history,
this brutal nakedness is new to me.

So I got an alignment the other day on the jetta just to make sure everything was good (just bought the car). I snapped a picture of what the alignment shop was able to get everything to. It looks like the previous owner hit a pretty good pothole or something.
In my opinion its not too bad and can wait a little while to replace the rear beam. I just wanted to see what you all thought. Its out of spec on that right rear, but its not WAYYY out ya know? In my opinion my abnormal tire wear will be minimal if any. The car tracks straight, doesn't pull, and handles great.
so what do you guys think?

How long can I leave aligners out at any one time ?
- sallyjean
- Last updated: 3 years ago
Hi, I am on to my second set of trays. I have them in for 22 hours a day, plus or minus 20 minutes. My breaks are between 20 and 40 minutes. What if I want a longer break for a social occasion ? I once did half hour breaks breakfast and lunch, then 3 hours for an occasion. When I put them back in they felt a bit tighter. The next day I was back to my 22 hour routine.

Deserted but unusual
This collection of five temples, huddled to the north of the northern Khleang, (more or less opposite Tep Pranam), is largely ignored by most Angkor visitors.
However, if time allows, it is well worth a wander through, and you'll have the advantage of having the place pretty much to yourself. The partly forested and monkeyed location with small moats and ponds dotted around makes for a great setting for some unusual little temples — even if their origin and purpose remains a mystery.
They clearly date from different periods yet were all built close together in a relatively small area close to the centre of Angkor Thom, so were obviously of great significance to the rulers who built them. Some of the later Pithu temples are among the last stone constructions to be found at Angkor and some were added to as late as the 16th century. Many are now in a fairly ruinous state though they contain interesting carvings — lots of which are just lying around on the ground.
The earliest seems to be Temple Y — situated on a small hill — which is in the style of Angkor Wat so provisionally dated to the reign of Suryavarman II, though no inscriptions have been found at any of this group. Several interesting lintels representing scenes from Hindu mythology survive.
Temple U appears to date to the same period, with typical Angkor Wat period subjects for its carving subjects, though it is significant that the Churning of the Sea of Milk depicted there runs from East to West rather than North to South — a total Hindu faux pas which is difficult to imagine Suryavarman letting his workers get away with! The high and steep sandstone base for Temple U is also Angkor Wat style though it may well be a case of a later, unknown king copying his more glorious predecessor's work.
Temple T, also on a high sandstone base, is equally difficult to date, possessing some Bayon-style features, apsaras with some classic Hindu mythological images again carved in unorthodox ways. It also has the classic naga-lined entrance platform typical of late Bayon and Indravarman II period. As with the other temples in the group it appears that they were added to and 'upgraded' over time by different kings which emphasises their importance.
Temple V seems to be of a later date — even post-Bayon, and with its Hindu themes may possibly be one of the rare constructions from the reign of Jayavarman VIII. It is also pretty ruined and again set on a high sandstone base. (You get some good views from the tops of some of these temples.)
The most recent of the group is Temple X — a single sandstone tower built on a massive sandstone platform. Whenever the initial construction was made, the carvings are now exclusively Buddhist at this temple and of a late Thai-style period (14th - 16th century) making this a unique temple at Angkor in that it is the only one obviously belonging to the Theravada rather than Mahayana Buddhist faith.

Live Report: Black Label Society at Hammerstein Ballroom, New York, October 20
Chris Krovatin is the author of the young-adult novels Heavy Metal & You and Venomous, as well as Revolvermag.com's "Final Six" blog. The latter book was the inspiration for Deadlocke, a one-shot published by Dark Horse Comics.
On Wednesday, I went to see Black Label Society, who played with Clutch, Children of Bodom, and 2Cents in New York. Here's what happened:
Number of Black Label Society back patches witnessed before entering venue: Six.
Number of said patches witnessed in venue lobby: Seven. Jesus Christ, it must be good to be in this band.
Crowd forecast: Burly and leathery, with patches of hairy and gale-force drunk warning in effect. Skanks have been sighted in many of the densely populated areas.
Hilarious sight: The one kid in spikes and eyeliner here to see Children of Bodom.
First band of the night: 2Cents.
Sounds like: Pantera.
Looks like: Pantera.
Specific Pantera look-alike: Lead singer Adam O'Rourke. Dude's got an amazing Anselmo thing going, down to the shaved-except-for-one-long-patch hair.
Attendance: Already exceptional for a show like this. The crowd is at least four rows deep with solid bikers.
Number of children in attendance: Four.
Number of said children wearing BLS denim vests: Three.
Price of a child-size BLS denim vest at the merch table: $160.
Price of an average T-shirt at the merch table: $35. Are you kidding me? What happened to 20 dollars a shirt?
Next we have: Children of Bodom, from Finland.
Sounds like: Yngwie Malmsteen crashing his Cadillac into a truck full of Kreator in a crowded intersection. Twisted Sister calls the cops.
To be fair: If you're reading this, you know what Children of Bodom sound like. This is Revolver, people.
Best track played: "Angels Don't Kill."
Number of fingers owned by Alexi Laiho: 47.
Actual biker club in attendance: Members of the N.Y. chapter of the Lost Souls.
Amount this reporter actually knows about biker culture: I'm catching up on Sons Of Anarchy now.
Cool reporter moment: Getting ushered backstage for a meet-and-greet with Clutch.
Amount of free space in Clutch's dressing room: Two square inches.
Totally lame reporter moment: Spilling a beer on one of Clutch's set lists.
Good to know: Press cred or not, I still fucking suck.
Next up: Clutch, from Maryland.
Sounds like: A bicep gets drunk and laid in New Orleans.
Last time I saw Clutch: They played a very jammy set, focusing more on their far-out dance elements. It was really chill but not what I was looking for.
This time: Every song is a pounding voodoo-infused muscle anthem.
Best track played: "Animal Farm" off of their self-titled album.
Utter shitshow of the night: The bar post-Clutch, pre-BLS. Who wants a beer? Everyone.
Worst drink special ever: Five bucks for a shot of…spiced rum?
Oh boy: Straight spiced rum! Who doesn't like that? Everyone.
And finally: Black Label Society.
Sounds like: A collection of walk-on music for the meanest fucking wrestler in the world.
Where do Black Label Society sit in a movie theater: Wherever the fuck they feel like.
Licks: Tasty.
Chugs: Brutal.
Zakk Wylde's daily diet: For breakfast, a hot stack of buttered denim vests. Lunch is a knuckle sandwich with extra vinger. And for dinner, it's a big pile of whiskey-marinated chains. For desert, there's a middle-finger mousse.
Amazing physical feat: The amount which BLS rock the fuck out at their shows. How can you keep thrashing around like that and not get totally bushed?
Favorite song of the evening: "What's In You."
Metal phrasology lesson: "SDMF" means "Strength, Determination, Muscles, Forever," and also "Society Dwelling Mother Fucker."
Touching moment: "In This River," Zakk's tribute song to the late and great Dimebag Darrel.
Best moment in the "In This River" video: After child versions of Zakk and Dime wander a forest wasteland and swim in a river, Zakk fucking destroys a piano with a hammer, in a river.
The honest truth: You only wish you could honor your dead boys that way.
Best post-concert moment: A woman's "Happy birthday" song at the diner down the street being interrupted by a dude shouting, "BLACK LABEL SOCIETY!"
Hey, man: They never said you had to like 'em.

Brignac, Biscuits top Braves in ninth
Shortstop's two-out RBI single gives Montgomery 6-5 win in series opener
September 6, 2007 9:59 PM ET
Brignac smacked a go-ahead single with two outs in the ninth inning to lift the visiting Montgomery Biscuits over the Mississippi Braves, 6-5, in Game 1 of their Southern League first-round playoff series.
Brignac swatted Michael Nix's offering to right field for the eventual winning run. The 21-year-old shortstop, who put the Biscuits on the board in the first with a two-run double, was relieved to deliver the clutch hit.
"These playoffs I really want to do better than last year," said Brignac, who went 3-for-28 in seven postseason games last year. "Last year, I didn't do anything. I want to prove that I can hit in the playoffs."
Brignac, who hit .260 with 17 homers and 81 RBIs in the regular season, was pleased to help the defending Southern League champs get off to a quick start this postseason.
"It was a big game for us," said Brignac. "You always want to win the first game, especially on the road. The whole point of playing the regular season is to make it to the playoffs."
Josh Asanovich slugged a solo homer in the second and scored three times. John Jaso hit an RBI groundout in the first and belted a game-tying single in the fifth.
Montgomery reliever Evan Meek (1-0) pitched a scoreless eighth for the win. Tim Corcoran worked around a hit and struck out the side in the ninth for the save. Starter Wade Davis gave up five runs on six hits and two walks while fanning six in four innings.
Nix (0-1) surrendered a run on two hits and a walk with two strikeouts in four frames. Braves starter Ryan Baerlocher departed with an undisclosed injury after throwing four pitches. He allowed two runs on one hit and one walk without retiring a batter. Brad Nelson gave up three runs on seven hits while fanning two and walking one in five relief innings.
J.C. Holt went 4-for-5 with three runs, two doubles and an RBI single in the fourth for Mississippi. Carl Loadenthal, Diory Hernandez and T.J. Bohn each drove in a run.

Can anyone tell me where to get the plate that bolts to the block of a pontiac 400. Someone tried to fabricate some because the car previously had a 301. I have the motor mounts but need the mounting plate. Will i have to go to a junk yard. Its hard to find 400s anymore. Any thoughts?
I think Ames and Performance Years both sell what you are looking for.
You can try classic industries to. It depends on your application also. I converted my 69 Firebird from a 6 to a 400. The 400 was a 70 block so I did not need the plates. So depending on the year of the block and the year of the vehical you may not need them.
I think that might be part of the problem. The car is a 77 grand prix, but the block came out of a 68 bonneville. I will give classic industries a call. Thanks
I was going to say that I have some, but they fit a Firebird. Won't fit an A (?) body.
Anna Mae quit.
Yea, i dont need the adaptor plates. I need the engine mount for a 1968 bonneville. The mount that bolts to the block. Cant find one anywhere. Thanks anyways.
Try thishttp://www.jbp-pontiac.com/products/fasteners/motorMounts.htmWRP-MM6 Engine Mount Adaptor Kit to put Pre 1969 Engines in 1970 & Up Chassis $49.95 Probably the only way you can do it.
Anna Mae quit.
Opontee is right you need the adapter kit so you can put the 77 Grand Prix brackets on the 68 block and still use the 77 frame mounts. There is no way that the 68 brackets will bolt onto the 77 frame mounts.Steve
A little help... 'cause we don't all have to learn the hard way!
Ok, I have the adapter kit to move the mounting holes forward. What i dont have is the mount that bolts to the adapter. I think i need the 77 brackets for a 400. I have the one that bolts to the frame. I dont know what is supposed to go in between.
I believe the brackets from the 301 will work (using the adapter plates), if you don't have them anymore, any brackets from any Pontiac V8 after 70 or 71 will work. Assuming your car has the captured rubber mounts on the frame.Steve
A little help... 'cause we don't all have to learn the hard way!
I know the GP engine brackets are taller than the firebirds. I had a friend that tried to use GP mounts in a Firebird and the engine sat to high. Luckily for him, I had a set for a FB. So I guess what I'm saying is, don't get them for what the engine is, get them for what the car is.Does any of this make sense?
Anna Mae quit.
My 1979 Formula (1975 Pontiac 350)uses the engine block brackets from a 1976 Lemans wagon with a 400 (the 400 was cracked, but I used the Th400 from the wagon) and it bolted in on the factory 301 frame mounts. The 1973 to 77 Lemans and GP used the same frame(except the side rails were longer on the GP) so there shouldn't be a problem. The firebird mounts that came with my 350 were identical but were too rusty to use.Steve
A little help... 'cause we don't all have to learn the hard way!
Thanks for all your help. I am going on vacation, i will find some mounts when i get back.

URBAN OUTFITTERS coat AMERICAN APPAREL blouse TOPSHOP jeans ZARA shoes WILFRED FREE beanie MARC JACOBS purse
I had my eye on this camel coat from the minute it hit the URBAN OUTFITTERS rack. Unfortunately it was originally priced at $225 which, in my opinion, was a bit too much for a coat. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about splurging on statement pieces that will last you a long time, it's just I thought I could probably find a cheaper one elsewhere. Luckily, I wasn't able to find a similar one because low-and-behold, I found this beauty on sale for $99! (Okay, in all fairness my mom found it so HUGE thank you to my mommy dearest!!) I think someone probably returned the coat because it was the only one in the sale section (and luckily in my size too). The brand is Kimchi Blue but I think it's sold out on the UO website unfortunately, sorry guys!
Do you guys ever have those days where you find the most amazing piece of clothing and it's the last one left and you think to yourself, "It was meant to be"? Because that was the kind of day for me. I wasn't even originally planning to go into UO but clearly something was pulling me to go in there because I was meant to find the coat of my dreams. Huzzah!

Slowly and painfully he extricated himself from the bed of the nullah, and then, his rifle on his shoulder, followed its course.
By eight o'clock the last of the baggage was near the nullah.
This time I reached a nullah where a mule that had been hit was kicking to death invisible devils.
You are certain it was in the nullah that Mr Strachan killed the Arab who was on the top of you?
Directly the camp was left, the sides of the nullah enlarged and, for half a mile, the road lay through a narrow ravine.
A common method of duelling was the exchange of blows from a nullah.
At the eleventh hour I and threescore followers will cross the nullah.
They were in a khor, or nullah, into which we had to drop, and they lined it twenty deep in places.
We were therefore obliged to cut a way in and out of the nullah wherever we crossed; so some idea may be formed of our day's work.
I could see the wheel wobbling as we crossed the flat bed of the nullah.

No time to work on the car lately, but I did just get a big box of goodies from ECS the other day. I can't wait to see how different the car feels with all of this installed:
New control arms, bushings, tie rods, ball joints, suspension mounts, hardware etc. All of this will go on whenever I can get around to installing the FKs. I need a couple more hours in the day.

Hello all. I appreciate the help you all gave me before, but I've run into a snag on my project. The project is an afghan. The patter includes increases and decreases with a row of dropped yarn overs to create a elongated stitch. I'm using circ needles for the first time to accommodate the massive amount of stitches I'm working with. It's pretty, I've worked through one and a half skeins but all of a sudden notice that I have somehow switched rs and ws. I have no idea how this happened, but on one repetition of the pattern, the "pretty" side was on what had been up to that point the wrong side. Luckily I was using a security thread so I easily ripped the mistake and reinserted my circ needle. Damage is minimal (only one row is left mistaken) but now I'm nervous about moving forward. Can anyone tell me how I made this mistake and how I can avoid it? I thought it might have something to do with the round of the work being away from me or toward me (if that makes sense). I tried to include pics but couldn't upload them. I think the file was too big. I'll try again later. I appreciate any help y'all can give in advance.
If you're working flat on the circular needles, the mistake probably happened when you either skipped a row or worked a row twice. The extra row throws all the rest off.
When you know you are working correctly, take a good look at your work to help you recognize the rs and ws so you can catch mistakes before you get too far on the row.
So many patterns use knit for the rs and purl for the ws. This can be your clue.
Do you have a link to the pattern?
I can think of two possibilities. You laid your work down in the middle of a row and when you picked it up you started on the wrong side, going the wrong way. If you are adding new yarn at the end of a row, you might have accidentally turned your work and started the new yarn on the wrong side. It's discouraging for this to happen but aren't you glad you used a lifeline? It makes things so much less awful.
If you need a place to resize your photo, this is the site I use. http://www.picresize.com/results
This makes sense. I know that I missed a row in the reptition right before the lifeline. I didn't catch it until it was too late. i didn't think it would matter, but I see now that was foolish. I can't rip back any farther without losing the project (and a few hours of work). It's 178 stitches and I'm simply not talented enough to reinsert a needle through that much without a lifeline. Is there any way to fix this? Should I work the missed row (though out of place) or work two knit rows to get back on track? The pattern is in a book, so no link, but it's a short rep. it is as follows:Row 1 (RS): K5, [K2 tog] 4x, *[K in front and back of next st] 8x, [K2 tog] 8x, rep from * 5x, [K in f and b of next st] 8x, [K2 tog] 4x, K5Row 2: KnitRow 3: K5, P to last 5 sts, K5Row 4: Knit (this is the one I missed)(Short Row) K5, turn, K5Row 5: K5, *yo, K1, rep from * to last 5 sts, K5(Short Row as before)Row 6: K5, *P1, drop yo, rep from * to last 5 sts, K5(This is from a Red Heart "Great Afgans and Throws" pattern pamphlet.)
Any advice?
I'm thinking that since my mistake is before the lifeline, which is in Row 1 of the pattern, I should add a knit row after Row 2 and then follow with the Purl Row, this should get me back on track right? It will look a little funky in those few rows, but it shouldn't be too noticeable, right?
Also, thanks for the resizing site info, GG. It worked great! Hopefully I attached it correctly. If so, this is the project. -Greg
You might want to watch this video Inserting a needle before unravelingbefore you decide what to do.
You're welcome for the pic resize link. Your afghan will be lovely.
Thanks, That looks relatively easy, I may try it first. I'm not terribly confident that I can read the work well enough to know what row I need to thread into. But I'll try it with my lifeline in place. I can always put the needle back and go to my original plan. I'll let you know how it works out.-G
If you're just a row away from the missing row, you could try tinking back that single row. It's a bit tedious for so many sts but do-able. That said, I think your suggestion to add an extra row in now will work too. The dark yarn will work in your favor because it'll hide these kind of mistakes. (Of course, reinseting the needle into a knit row is ideal, as GG suggests.)Your afghan so far looks lovely, btw. Beautiful work.
Since I'm a newbie knitter, I find that light colored yarn is best; of course, that's just for my OLD tired eyes. Your afghan looks beautiful, I can't tell there even is a mistake!!
Oh, dear. I didn't make what I meant clear. I wasn't suggesting that's the way to do it, just that seeing the video and knowing the option is there might help Greg choose the best course of action. The more we know the more options we have open to us. Working with the missed row might well be the best way this time and I have no problem with that. I'd probably have ended up doing that very thing or frogging it all before I had more experience and might still do it.

But yeah, my contention is that misappropriations are one of the largest underlying factors of taxpayer reluctance. The misappropriation of levy funds that were "discovered" after Katrina is somewhat recent proof that it happens regularly on a large and recurring basis. When it comes to funds of this nature (those for which no one keeps a close watch due to the "lack of urgency of need" interpreted "UNTIL PEOPLE DIE") it is a bit easier to facilitate the misappropriations. As these types of offenses have been learned over and over again and gone unpunished/uncorrected (mostly), people just hate to have to pay more taxes. I'd openly support a functional social financial pool if there was any trust to be rendered, but to our misfortune, that's not the case... and I've been weary from it for a long time.

I don't like this at all simply as there doesn't seem to be much of an alternative. Public transpo isn't nearly at what it should be (seriously, go to almost ANY other country) to consider it much of a viable alternative. Plus, even though I teased SPAZ about it, I don't want the government putting shit on my truck/car either. But I'm sure I won't have to worry about that in the future, as they'll just make car makers put it on to market in the US... *sigh*
I'm thinking that this gets shot down real quick by public opinion once it gets more notice. But if they can keep it on the DL until after elections... :/

|Don't we already tax cars by the mile don't we already have a gas tax
We all have a feel for each other and known each other on this forum, and I agree we should help those that can't, work or need assistance do to illness etc. My good friend will never work again and he is in his mid 50's. This is the boy I helped to gear up for snowboarding this year.
What makes me made is the people who abuse the programs, sell the food stamps (cards), can but choose not to take proper care in raising their kids and have kids to young. Who themselves then get into the system.
My wife and I, like many of us, go to work eveyday and work very hard, yes I'm fortunate and thankful for a good job. My point is I try to take care of my family and but we as a society can't keep paying for programms that don't work !!!
I think I am average middle class and I got into a debt and am getting my self out. But with rising fuel, FOOD, taxes, local, state, fed it is getting much and much more difficult to stay positive. I"m trying to save for retirement as NO government SS will be there for me and they want more each time. Every few years I loose tons of money in my 401 do to some crisis, black this, terrorist act, housing crash you name it
Really not sure where I"m going with this but I'm not out to screw or abandond man kind but I also need to meet and take care of my obligations as well and like all of us that is getting harder each year
and I agree with this Donutz:
Bottom line: minimalist government, not because I think it's wrong to help the less fortunate, but because I think the current system is creating a lot of the less fortunate.

All you have to do is put a tax on gasoline. No electronics required, no public acceptance issues (no more than with any other tax grab anyway), and it automatically penalizes those with gas hogs.
What's that you say? They already have such a thing? Wow, who'da thought...
This brings up a pet peeve of mine (and probably a lot of other people) where the gov't (at every level) is trying to think up new twists on collecting taxes. "Maybe if we call it a levy...". "OK, we'll put a tax on shopping bags...". "Add a tax at the checkout for recyclables...". Seriously, do they really think if they call it something different, we won't notice? This is all coming out of the same pocket in the end -- it doesn't matter how you dress it up, if my total tax bill goes up, my discretionary income is gonna go down.
The worst part is when they add a tax/levy/user fee/whatever for the same thing, two or three times. The rationale (well, one of them) for the gasoline tax is for road infrastructure -- the people who use the roads, should pay for the roads. But you notice that they never reduce the income tax by an equivalent amount so that people who don't use roads will stop paying for them. Then they'll add a tax for vehicle purchases, to help pay for road infrastructure. And oh look, neither the income tax nor the gasonline tax goes down. Qu'elle surprise.
I've simply stopped listening to the rationalizations for new taxes and tax hikes. You're hiking my taxes because you can't make it on what you're already taking. Period. If I dislike it enough, I'll vote you out. Period. If I think you're insulting my intelligence with an especially moronic excuse, I'll vote you out just on principle.
Damned politicians.

Publication Acceptance Date: 2/21/2008
Publication Date: 7/1/2008
Citation: Barb, C.R., Hausman, G.J., Lents, C.A. 2008. Energy Metabolism and Leptin: Effects on Neuroendocrine Regulation of Reproduction in the Gilt and Sow. Reproduction of Domestic Animals. V.43(Suppl.2):324-330. Interpretive Summary: It is well established that reproductive function is metabolically gated. Inadequate nutrition is characterized by low blood levels of pituitary hormones, such as luteinizing hormone (LH), that are necessary for stimulation of the reproductive system. A lack of these hormones results in delayed puberty, irregular heat cycles and failure of animals to breed. The recently discovered protein, leptin, secreted by fat cells in response to changes in body weight or energy, stimulates metabolism, LH secretion and in domestic farm animals. Leptin may serve as a signal linking the body's energy regulating system with the reproductive system. Literature is reviewed identifying specific action of leptin in regulating reproduction in domestic farm animals.
Technical Abstract: It is well established that reproductive function is metabolically gated. However, the mechanisms whereby energy stores and metabolic cues influence appetite, energy homeostasis and fertility are yet to be completely understood. Adipose tissue is no longer considered as only a depot to store excess energy. Recent fining have identified numerous genes several neurotrophic factors, interleukins, insulin like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP-5), ciliary neurotrophic factor, (CNTF) and NPY are expressed by adipose tissue during puberal development. These studies demonstrate for the first time the expression of several major adipokines or cytokines in pig adipose tissue which may influence local and central metabolism and growth. Leptin appears to be the primary metabolic signal and is part of the adipose tissue-hypothalamic regulatory loop in the control of appetite, energy homeostasis and luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion. Leptin' actions on appetite regulation are mediated inhibition of hypothalamic neuropeptide Y(NPY), stimulation of proopiomelanocortin (POMC) and its effects on gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH)/LH secretion are mediated by NPY and kisspeptin (KiSS) mediating leptins' effects on gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) release. Thus, leptin appears to an important link between metabolic status, neuroendocrine axis and subsequent fertility in the gilt and sow.

What Our Clients Are Saying
"Lynn is a thoughtful and effective facilitator who kept our faculty workshop participants engaged by using successful interactive techniques. At her workshop on diversity, she used a short video as the springboard for an open and frank discussion. In a second workshop about students as "customers" of education, she employed small group discussions of realistic scenarios from academic life. These cases helped faculty to reflect on strategies for improved communication and greater student learning. We emerged from both sessions with valuable take-out messages for additional reflection and useful ideas for further development."

"Lynn Murphy has led two retreat days for our faculty. Her program was so extremely well received that we asked her to lead at our first-ever annual staff retreat. Our staff is split into many different units spread over three floors. Cohesiveness and sense of purpose has been a challenge. Initially in Lynn's presentation, there was very little interaction among the staff as many of them did not know each other. After the first 30 minutes they began to open up, answering questions and discussing topics. By the midpoint of the program they were fully engaged with Lynn and each other. It was, as I heard from each person I talked with, one of the best experiences they have had since they have been with us. One of the staff members could not stop talking about Lynn's program and how much it had energized everyone. I have personally been to four of Lynn's programs. She is the only presenter we have ever had where no one was seen checking their watches! That is the ultimate testimonial to any speaker."

Reston Hospital Broadcasts Wait Times for Emergency Room
Patients visiting the Emergency Room at Reston Hospital Center no longer need to guess how long they'll wait before receiving care. Now they can find out in advance, thanks to ER Time – a new program that publicizes the hospital's average wait times via text messaging, electronic banner ads and the Internet.
"The physicians and nurses in Reston Hospital Center's emergency room have developed several innovative methods to see and treat patients faster-and they work," said Bill Adams, president and CEO of Reston Hospital Center. "This new technology allows us to share what I've known for years-that Reston is able to see patients and begin treatment quickly. In fact our average wait time is less than half the industry average."
ER Time, which has already been piloted successfully by several HCA hospitals in Florida, is designed for patients with relatively minor medical conditions – not for those with chest pain or other potentially life-threatening health problems. "Those patients should absolutely dial 911 so that EMS squad members can begin lifesaving measures during the ambulance trip to the hospital," said Darren Lisse, MD, the medical director of Reston Hospital Center's emergency department.
ER Time uses a statistical tracker system in the ER to transfer data to an RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed, which automatically displays and updates the time on the hospital's website (www.restonhospital.com) and online banner ads. Cell-phone users can text ER to 23000 to and receive a text back with the most up-to-date wait time.
Wait times reflect a rolling four-hour average and are updated every 30 minutes. The term is defined as the time between entering the ER and beginning the medical screening examination from a qualified medical professional – either a physician, a physician assistant or a nurse practitioner. Patients are seen in priority order based on the type and severity of their medical complaint.
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the average hospital ER wait time is 55 minutes, up from 38 minutes 10 years ago. The increase has been caused in part by an explosion of ER traffic nationally – a 32 percent increase, from 90.3 million to 119.2 million, over the past decade. Reston Hospital Center had 43,390 ER visits in 2009, up from 34,191 five years ago in 2004.
Reston Hospital Center is the first hospital in the Washington Metropolitan Region, and the state of Virginia, to offer this technology.

DA: Accidental Oxnard police killing was justified
PHOTO CREDIT: Shutterstock
OXNARD, Calif. (AP) — No charges will be filed against Oxnard police officers involved in the accidental killing of a 21-year-old man two years ago.
Ventura County District Attorney Greg Totten said Wednesday that the officers used justifiable force in the fatal shooting of Alfonso Limon Jr.
Police admitted they mistakenly fired on Limon, an innocent bystander, because they believed he was a suspect during a shootout that followed a traffic stop.
Limon's family said he was jogging when he was caught in crossfire in October 2012.
The Ventura County Star reports Totten released a 132-page report detailing the incident.
Limon's sister, Rebecca Limon, said her family was upset but not surprised that no criminal charges were filed.
The city of Oxnard will pay $6.7 million to settle a lawsuit over the shooting.

An easyJet passenger plane was this morning forced to make an emergency landing at Gatwick Airport after smoke was detected in the cockpit.
The Airbus A320 aircraft, which was carrying 157 passengers form Liverpool to Naples, landed safely at 7.20am.
The plane, which had left Liverpool at 6.40am, was being checked, with easyJet hoping to fly on the passengers to Naples as soon as possible.
An easyJet spokesman said today: "The plane landed safely at Gatwick and the passengers remained calm. At no point was the safety of passengers threatened.
"We now want to make sure we get the passengers to Naples as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, the plane is being inspected."

What a mess. No guarantees I'll get any of it correct this time, but let
me try again.
For the first approach, the code below is probably the same as that from
a response by Albert Retey.
In[3]:= Quiet[CForm[T[x] /. T[x] -> profile[[i-1]]]]
Out[3]//CForm= profile[-1 + i]
For adding a macro to a header file, this version might work.
#define pointer(a) (*(a))

Can you name 3 of the top New Year's Resolutions that people make every January?
Do you know what my 3 topics are?? AHA! How perceptive of you. That's right. The answers to both questions are the same.
My topics are (and my passion is) helping people to 1) break the procrastination habit, 2) conquer clutter and 3) manage stress in a healthy way.
Would you believe that there is one specific habit/attitude that has such a profound impact on ALL of these topics that all three of my books devote a large chunk of space to it? Got any idea what attitude would increase your clutter AND procrastination AND stress? Go ahead. Try to guess.
OK, I'll give you a hint…the hint is….OK, I'll tell you what it is.
It's perfectionism. Yes, expecting perfection from yourself, from those around you … and from life. It generates procrastination, clutter and stress.
Now I'm not saying that instead of perfection, you should strive for mediocrity. I don't think anyone who takes time to read this Tip Sheet would accept mediocrity. What I'm saying is — shoot for excellence. THAT is achievable.
Perfection is hardly every achievable.
Years ago, I was sitting at a table signing books after giving a Keynote at a conference, and a woman standing in front of me said, "My house is always a mess…. because I am a perfectionist." I looked up at her and said, "That sounds backwards. I would think if you are a perfectionist, your house would look perfect."
She said, "OH NO!! I was taught that the right way to wash the kitchen floor is to move everything to one side, wash it, then move everything back. (Now pay attention to what she said next.) If I don't have the time or the energy to do something perfectly…. I don't do it at all."
Can you relate to that? Have you ever NOT had the time or energy to do something perfectly….. so you just never got around to doing it??
There was a time in my life when I was an avid perfectionist. I put off everything till the circumstance or time was perfect. Then something happened when I was a Cub Scout Den Leader which turned my thinking upside down.
In our Den of 6 boys were twins named Pat and Mike. When we made gifts for parents, these twins constantly looked over each other's shoulder to make sure their gifts were identical.
One year we made stained-glass ornaments for Christmas gifts. On a cookie sheet, the boys placed a metal outline of a snowman or a star, then filled the frame with plastic beads which would melt in a hot oven, and look like stained glass. By the end of the meeting, the boys had completed everything except we hadn't baked the beads yet. I told them I'd bake them that evening, and they could pick up the finished present the next day.
I don't know what went wrong, but when I took out the ornaments, the beads in 5 of the metal frames had bounced around and colors had mixed together. Five ornaments were wrecked, one was perfect; it was Michael's. The twins' gifts didn't match. The boys had worked so hard and now five of the Christmas gifts were ruined. I felt terrible.
That night, a friend told me the story of how some Native Americans deliberately put a flaw in their beadwork to remind them that this is an imperfect world and we are imperfect people. I went to the library and found a book with photos of Native American beadwork. There were the flaws, as obvious as could be.
So, when the boys came to my house the next day, five of them wanted to know why I had "wrecked" their ornaments; the sixth one, Michael, was strutting around telling everyone how wonderful his looked. I sat them down and told them about the Native Americans putting a flaw in their beadwork, and I showed them photos in the library book. Then I gave them their ornaments and sent them all home.
About twenty-five minutes later, the twins' mom called and said, "Rita, every once in a while I need an explanation about what goes on at these den meetings. This is one of those times.
"Can you please tell me why Patrick is grinning from ear to ear over his little white snowman with the green blob across its belly, and Michael is in his bedroom crying, 'Mine's too perfect! Mine's too perfect!' "
I cherish this story and hold it close to my heart, because for me it was the turning point in really grasping the difference between excellence and perfection … and the beginning of my conquering procrastination.
SO if you find that your New Year's Resolutions are already gone and forgotten, skip them and simply start to recognize those times that you expect perfection — and keep reminding yourself that this is an imperfect world and we are imperfect people.
May your New Year be delightfully imperfect.

Of the many social pressures placed on parents of toddlers, chief among them is the pressure to potty train their children early.
This is just plain silly, because toilet training is not something you can accelerate. Until a child is physically and emotionally ready, it just isn't going to happen. It isn't developmentally possible.
Readiness has little to do with biological age. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), most kids achieve daytime training success by three to four years of age. Staying dry at night can take quite a bit longer.
While many parents dread the prospect of toilet training, it needn't be a stressful, endless process. Often, frustrations arise simply because the "trainees" are not yet ready.
When you think about it, toilet training is an awful lot to ask from a toddler. A child must be biologically able to control his bladder and bowel movements. He must be able to recognize the need to go in advance and be willing to break away from whatever he's doing. And he must able to "hold it" until he can get to the bathroom and deal with his clothing. Whew!
So, how do you know when your child is ready for all this complicated stuff? According to the AAP, look for these signs:
Once your child is ready, here are some potty training tips to make training easier:
The AAP recommends getting your child his or her own potty chair, because it's easier to use and balance on. You can choose a low, self-standing chair or a child-friendly seat that attaches to a standard toilet such as the BABYBJORN� Toilet Trainer, Family Seat, or the 3-in-1 Toilet Trainer.
Decide in advance what words you'll use to describe body parts and functions. Choose words that you and those around you can live with comfortably. You'll be using them long after your child is trained!
There's only one person who can tell you for certain it's the right time for toilet training, and that's your child. If you take your cue from him or her and provide good direction and positive support, you're on your way. You can also read the AAP's Toilet Training Guidelines: Parents—The Role of the Parents in Toilet Training for more great information. Here's to a less stressful, more successful experience!

|Two live smoke grenades were discovered this week. One was in a carry-on bag at Austin (right), and the other was in a checked bag at Columbus (left).
|What ended up being a homemade handheld gaming device strongly resembled an improvised explosive device on the X-ray monitor. Homemade gadgets can resemble IEDs and result in evacuations and delays while explosives specialists work to clear the item.
Inert Ordnance and Grenades etc. – We continue to find inert grenades and other weaponry on a weekly basis. Please keep in mind that if an item looks like a real bomb, grenade, mine, etc., it is prohibited. When these items are found at a checkpoint or in checked baggage, they can cause significant delays because the explosives detection professionals must respond to resolve the alarm. Even if they are novelty items, you are prohibited from bringing them on the aircraft. Read here on why inert items cause problems.
|Inert 120mm Tank Round (RNO)
- An inert 120mm tank round was discovered in checked bag at Reno (RNO).
- Four inert/replica grenades were discovered this week. Three were in carry-on bags at Austin (AUS), New Orleans (MSY), and San Francisco (SFO), and one was discovered in a checked bag at Laramie (LAR).

You can travel with your firearms in checked baggage, but they must first be declared to the airline. You can go here for more details on how to properly travel with your firearms. Firearm possession laws vary by state and locality. Travelers should familiarize themselves with state and local firearm laws for each point of travel prior to departure.
Unfortunately these sorts of occurrences are all too frequent which is why we talk about these finds. Sure, it's great to share the things that our officers are finding, but at the same time, each time we find a dangerous item, the line is slowed down and a passenger that likely had no ill intent ends up with a citation or in some cases is even arrested. The passenger can face a penalty as high as $11,000. This is a friendly reminder to please leave these items at home. Just because we find a prohibited item on an individual does not mean they had bad intentions; that's for the law enforcement officer to decide. In many cases, people simply forgot they had these items.

How to display a popup showing just items list view?
Hi group!
I would like to implement a popup menu that appears when you right-
click on an object or on the white area of a graph, similar to the
menu you get by a right-clicking to explore the properties of a
desktop icon or the desktop itself. The ActionMenu would be ideal, but
I found no way to get just the items list window, without the menu
placeholder. It seem that a sort of "ItemslistView" isn't available as
a separate function from the ActionMenu. Is there a way to easily
implement this without to have to write all the code (and without use
the GUIKit Package)? This function of course already exists as the
current menu functions use it, probably it is accessible but
To better explain what I need I've wrote a small example. The pretty
un-useful code below draws two disk that you can move around. If you
right-click into a disk area, an ActionMenu will display, allowing to
choose some actions. Same if you right-click on the white area outside
the circles. If you choose an action, the popup menu will hides. So
far, so good. But if you click outside the items list area without
choosing any item, the float list hides but the place holder of the
ActionMenu remains there, and you have do to an additional click
somewhere to hide the menu, and prevent to show the float list again
hovering the mouse on the menu placeholder. This of course happen
because the first click away from the items list area is intercepted
by the ActionMenu function for its normal operation (i.e. hiding the
float list) and it seems that there isn't a way to circumvent this.
Also it seems that there is no way to have an hierarchic popup menu,
ones where one or more of its items display a triangle on the right
allowing to open a sub menu displaying more options. Googling around
I've found some threads that complain about the lacking of a sub menu
feature and the difficulty to have a float popup items view, but Mathematica
itself seems to have both for its internal use: for example when you
right-click a notebook area you'll get a float popup hierarchic items
list, that is the same I need to implement (but, hoping, without
reinvent the wheel).
Any hints my friends?

by Cordelia Strube
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Very well written, but this book is a real downer; Lemon's life just goes from bad to worse. I found it hard to read.
Lemon is not your average teenager - she hates parties and other social functions, spends her time volunteering in the children's cancer ward of the hospital, reads constantly, and criticizes everyone and everything. Pegged by publishers as a modern Catcher in the Rye for girls, Lemon is hilarious, heart-breaking, crude, and hands down one of the best books I have read this year.
Lemon was Longlisted for the Giller Prize this year, and while I severly dislike Catcher in the Rye, the first few pages of Strube's novel convinced me that it was a must-read. Lemon's voice flies off the page like daggers poking holes in the false nature of the people around her. She is disgusted by her teachers, her parents, her firends, her enemies. The only person she likes is a six-year-old named Kadylak who is dying from cancer.
Lemon's attitude makes sense - she was adopted as a baby by a couple who later divorced, moved in with her adoptive dad and his new wife, watched that marriage fall apart, and is now, at sixteen, being contacted by her birth mother. Lemon's best friend, Rossi, wants desperately to be popular, and so she has sex with every boy who looks at her - something Lemon cannot understand ever wanting to do. Add to that an awful part-time job scooping ice cream, and Lemon has a lot to complain about.
Of course, drama ensues, and some seriously traumatic events occur. Through it all Lemon maintains her wit and sarcasm, even when seeing things no teenager should experience. Along with this wit comes quite a bit of swearing and other offensive language, so if you are sensitive to that, Lemon would not be for you. For me, Lemon was a wonderful book - unique in narration, laugh-out-loud funny, and touching.

Really? You might asking me. This came into mind while watching a Sunday entertainment show. In one segment, before the singer begin...
The 4mat Approach: How to Develop a Content that Connects like Courting a Reader
0 Comments
This came into mind while watching a Sunday entertainment show.
In one segment, before the singer begin to sing -- at that time a love song, she asked the audience few obvious (and mushy) questions about when people are in love. The purpose is to add context so the audience can feel and connect better to the song.
Until this line got me :
"When you're in love, there are lots of questions, there's the Why's, the What's, the How's and the What If's".So true. But on my funny side, at that time, I said to myself, "This applies in writing content, too".
This leads me to write this post.
In writing perspective, that line reminds me of a simple strategy for writing content that I'd learn. The technique is to answer those four questions in proper order when you're writing content. This strategy is called the 4MAT Methodology, which is use by teachers to create effective educational materials. This is helpful especially if the subject matter you want to communicate is too complex or novel.
In blogging, this is best to apply every time you create tutorial content or a blog series, which helps you attract more blog visitors and subscribers.
Back to courtingSimilar to education, this approach applies when a man courts a woman. It's human behavior, if we're deeply in love to someone, we want that person to know, like and trust us. The best way to make that happen is to answer in right sequence all her questions, uncertainties and doubts. Through that, she'll understand you better and probably, she might fall in love to you.
Likewise, in developing informative content, you need to win those barriers in order your reader understand you better.
So, from here let's learn how this strategy works and how to apply in developing content, as if you're courting your reader and make her fall in love, at least in your content :
#1. Make her understand "Why"
In order to communicate and prove your point effectively, it's essential to immediately deliver the reason why a browsing visitor should read your content. "What's in it for me", she's asking. What benefits she can get in exchange for her time?
That's why, in order to grab her attention, one of the best practices in writing headlines is to clearly express the practical benefit in it. Then, immediately support it in the opening paragraph. One good example is to tell a short and tantalizing story.
While in courting, this is your first impression. Why should someone you admire allow you to court her?
Sincerely propose to her and prove to her how much serious you are. Passionately tell her you are worthy of her attention and time.
#2. Tell your "What"
On the other hand, in courting, this is the stage where you confidently present yourself to her with her family. Here you sell "who you are". These are the things you can offer and give to her if you'll get her "Yes". Show her you can be trusted and have background, status or skills that she'll be proud of.
#3. Explain "How"
In courting, the "how" is by giving her your time, patience and effort to prove how much you truly love her. It may sounds clichè but it's so true that actions always speak louder than words.
#4. Answer her "What If"
She'll asks you few interesting questions in the comment section. "What if this or that. . ." plays in her mind. She's requesting for clarification or offer her own understanding about the subject matter. This is where real conversation comes in. So, take this opportunity to interact with her and express your point boldly.
Listen when she shares her thoughts in the comment section or email then encourage her to write her own take about the topic.
"What and If are two words as non-threatening as words can be, but put them together side-by-side and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life".Clear this doubts to her and she'll treasure you for the rest of her life.
