wiring electrical in a shed
I recently wired my shed with electricity. Code here requires a switch where power enters the shed so you can shut off power to the entire shed.
So I bought a 10A 125V Levitron single pole lev-o-let switch.
But I don't know how to wire it.
The switch has 5 screws and looks like this:
0----0 (big brass)
0--|--0 (smaller silver-ish)
--0 (smaller brass)
The "big brass" look like regular black cable screws but the wiring diagrams that came with the switch are confusing. They seem to indicate they want the hot cable (from source) going to one of the small brass screw and the hot cable going to the load attached to one of the big brass screws.... and the white cables attached to the silver-ish screws. ... So where do I put the ground? Or am I reading them totally wrong?
(zeros are the screws and the | is the switch lever)
I have 3 wires (black, white and ground) coming into the shed and the same 3 wires going to the loads in the shed.
Anyone familiar with this particular switch have any guidance? This is the switch in question:
Any help is appreciated.
How much power is going to the shed? 1 circuit?
You have a 10a rated disconnect shutting off how many amps?
1) a 60 watt lightbulb
2) a 150 watt exterior motion sensor light on a 15amp GFIC outlet
So maybe 2 amps at the most
I'm Confused, but is this what your switch looks like?
Is it a Surface mount switch or is it made to use mounted in an electrical box?
I'm not sure why you would pay $9 for a "simple" switch rated 10a?
A 15a switch is $1
I thought a lev-o-let switch meant it also acted as a breaker....that's why it was $9 instead of the $1 regular box switches? That's why I bought it... was I wrong? Lots of resistence in the switch itself (on and off) .. feels like a breaker switch
Everything is on a GFIC outlet in the shed, and there is a breaker at the box, but I also wanted the extra extra protection of having another breaker as part of the switch in the shed...
Hmmm...after thinking they might want neutral & black switched off ?
Is it a double pole switch ?
Surface mount no box does add to the cost
Patrick, You're good.
I think he still needs assistance with wiring the switch
Can you take a pic of the screws & post that?
I couldn't find anything on the HD site or in a search for Lev-o-Let
And there isn't anything on Leviton's site that I could find
But - from what you say
Small brass is in, large brass out - 2 screws for 2 wires if needed
Silver is neutral
If they don't have a ground screw I wouldn't use it
I think the issue may be that he's in Canada and something might be different than the USA.

Those surface mount devices were quite common back 40 to 50 years ago for barns and outbuildings. I don't like them because the switches are chinsy and get broken quite easily, only rated 10 A, not T rated, and there is no wiring space, many don't have ground terminals, etc. They still make them for some reason. (maybe replacement use because the wires are short...) It also is a pain when you have more than two cables, and then there ends up to be more than one wire on a screw.:jester:
I would take that thing back and use a normal switch, but if you have your heart set on using it I have included a diagram on how to wire it. It does not matter which set of cable is the feed in and which is the load.

WASHINGTON — Air Force senior leaders and members of the Air Force Association and Air Force Sergeants Association gathered for a Memorial Day service and wreath laying ceremony on May 26 at the Air Force Memorial in Arlington, Va.
During his keynote address, Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force James A. Cody said that on Memorial Day, for him, the three spires of the memorial stood for freedom, fortitude and our fallen.
He went on to explain that Memorial Day serves a reminder that the freedom we all share was won by fortitude shown by our fallen service members in fighting and standing their ground.
"Today, and everyday, our fallen are with us in our stories and our memories, and they give us cause to wave our flags," Cody said.
Young volunteers representing the East Coast Chapter of the Tuskegee Airmen Inc. participated in the ceremony and displayed old portraits of select World War II veterans in a tribute to their service and sacrifice.
Also in attendance were the Air Force Sergeant's Association International President retired Chief Master Sgt. Daniel Yeomans and Air Force Association President retired Gen. Craig McKinley, who joined Cody in the ceremonial wreath laying.

searching for good site for texas lawn
Hello all,
Was looking for some lawn care tips specific to the southwest lawns. Is there a good website/forum where I could head to for this?
With spring just around the corner, my lawn is already seeing all sorts of weeds, and needed to tips to get it green!
Turfgrasses grow pretty much the same everywhere save for in Texas I guess you have to account for lead from all those stray bullets from concealed weapons you all carry.
Irrigation and feeding in conjunction would be the difference where you are I suspect. As I have said elsewhere on this site before, and I know it sounds strange perhaps, but give everything a quick feeding with a quick acting fertilizer something like 21-10-10 (or get a soil sample first and tweak this). Water and wait 4-6 weeks. The turfgrasses, since they hopefully outnumber the weeds, will start to squeeze them out. Feed again with Weed-N-Feed or just weed with the appropriate post emergent herbicide. Follow with a long term turfgrass fertilizer to get you through the summer.
Water early, long and deep, early in the day aiming for the equivalent of an inch of rainfall per week if you can afford it. Set your mower high.

In particular it found recovery was coming 'earlier and more rapidly' than previously expected, and was more broadly based among countries and sectors.
The MPC also found the balance of evidence suggested stronger prospects for the UK. However, there were concerns over two consecutive months of falls in retail sales and the levels of household debt. The committee was therefore 'clear' interest rates should not be changed this month.
But further action was not ruled out: 'It would be important to monitor closely how the outlook for inflation evolved month-to-month, and the committee stood ready to adjust rates in either direction as necessary,' the minutes said.
At the MPC's February meeting two members - Christopher Allsopp and Sushil Wadhwani - voted in favour of a 0.25% trim. Rates have been kept on hold at 4% for four consecutive months, after the slowing global economy and 11 September prompted a total reduction of 2% in 2001.

Go Fish Card Game
Go Fish can be played with as little as 2 players, but is better suited for 3 to 6 players. It uses a standard deck of 52 playing cards. There are also some specially designed cards aimed toward the younger crowd that feature various fish and sea creatures. Some of these specialty decks also simplify the game so that only pairs are matched rather than 4 of a kind. If playing with younger children one of these decks may be the best option.

You asked for it and now you can get it! The ultra light, ultra stiff, top of the line racing board is here! The super- trick Manta Pro Team Edition offers no compromise for any racer.
New sizes for 2010 are the Manta 65 and 75. With the PWA pro tour requiring 3 boards and 6 sails, the Tabou test team decided to ad some sizes to have all the bases covered. The Manta 64 is replaced with the 65- A little more volume to be able to handle lighter winds. The Manta 75 borrows features from the 79 and 69 and fits right in the middle. With the success of the team, these boards are guaranteed to impress anyone that steps foot on them!
The complete Manta Pro Team Edition range of boards are now available with ultra trick Carbon- The 3K Carbon deck ads stiffness and takes the Manta to a new level. The space tech UD 80 bottom layup gives you a lightweight and very strong bottom that can take a beating without changing the shape of your board! A new special SLX sandwich construction has been developed specifically by Fabien Vollenweider to enable a lighter deck that gets the board to move faster and faster. The lightweight deck allows the board to trim higher and settle into top speed quicker than ever!
For those who want the best in the business, look no further than the 2010 Manta Pro Team Edition boards!

I know what it takes to win- I work hard for it everyday and am excited to get these boards on the racecourse in 2010!!

Best HVAC Option For Rental Property
I think this question is going to require a very high level of knowledge but I see there are some highly qualified individuals in this forum.
I bought a duplex that I am rehabbing and have been made aware by code enforcement that the heating system does not work. There is no air conditioning either. I would like for my tenants to have air as well. The inoperable heating system that is presently in each unit is a big natural gas heater in the living room vented out a chimney.
I am basically at ground zero at this point and need some highly experienced advice. As a landlord in order for me to recoup my cost of buying the property and fixing it up, I have to do everything relatively inexpensively but I don't want to hammer the tenants with insane utility costs either.
Each unit is 1,100 square feet and I am in the Virginia climate.
I have quite a bit of general construction experience and don't have a problem picking up new things but have no present experience with repairing 1970 or 60 natural gas heaters. I am also a little worried with the dramatic increase in natural gas costs expected this winter.
My choices I see are:
**Repair the heater or get someone to do it and buy 3 window ac units per floor. I have heard these types of heaters don't really heat a house very evenly which would probably mean the tenants will need to have those oil electric heaters in their rooms.
**Buy some other type of natural gas heater and get the window units. ( I heard code enforcement has a problem here with anything unvented )
**Get rid of the gas heater and put electric baseboards in every room and buy all the window ac units. Will these baseboards give them an astronomical I'm moving out type of electric bill?
**Install a forced heat and air system in a full basement below the bottom floor and another one in the attic. ( I will not be paying the utilities and will need 2 completely separate HVAC units so they pay their own bills )
I know tenants are willing to pay $50 dollars more in rent per month for central heat and air.
Which of these do you see as being my best bet considering that I will be doing the work myself? If you have other ideas on what to do I would be more than happy to hear them.
Although it isn't really a DIY project, I think your best bet is to install new forced air furnaces and air conditioners. It will add value to the properties, and the updated HVAC equipment will run much more efficiently than the old unit.
I'll put it this way. I took out an old 1985 furnace and installed a 93% efficient one, and my winter heating bill was cut nearly in half instantly. There's a lot of variables, but there will definately be cost savings. A smart winter will weigh their potential utility costs, and an efficient forced air system will be a real attractive feature they'll be willing to pay a little for.
heat pump
2 birds 1 stone central air that reverses to use the airconditioner to heat as well not diy but perfect in that mild virginia climate
I grew up in a family that owned several rental units and I have only recently convinced them to switch to electric heat pumps. Tenants always steal whatever they can get ahold of including window units. Haven't seen one yet to steal a heat pump. They never could plan ahead and buy oil for the winter so they would bring in oil 5 gallons at a time, just enough to stir up the trash in the bottom of the tank and clog the filter/line. They would always buy the wrong kind of oil and screw up the monitor heaters. Lets not forget about what happens to your water line when your tenants choose to buy beer instead of oil. How about the lazier neighbors that steals the oil from your tenants. Clogged nozzles, leaking oil lines, air locks, black smoke, ...
Yes electric baseboard will give them that move out type of heating bill.
Just think about the resale value that you will have if you add 2 seperate units.
Are those sixteens in the X-ray?! You seem kinda negative about renters. I rented once, about 20 yrs ago, and I still have the doors, mini blinds, fixtures, carpet, cupboards, window A/C and the medicine cabinet. I take care of my stuff. Had to move out cause my minature horse developed renal failure.
Heat pumps are the way to go.
ya 8 Ball, I think I remember you. Those are in fact 16's in my xray but they are actually tucked away just under the skin, that is the only place I can hide them and keep the renters from stealing them. By the way, keep the goods from the house...the guy that moved in after you burned the house up when he stuck the iron under the carpet to keep his feet warm.
Price out a forced air system Heat pump with furnace electrical strips versus a forced air moderate efficiecy furnace with A/C. I bet the HP with strips will be cheaper.

Just Kids
By Patti Smith (Ecco, $27)
Wed Jan 13 2010
Time Out Ratings :<strong>Rating: </strong>4/5
Innocent isn't the word that usually comes to mind when talking about proto-punk goddess Patti Smith and controversial photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. But in singer-songwriter Smith's Just Kids, the two budding artists come off as incredibly creative and naive geeks who hit the Big Apple in the late '60s in search of themselves and their art. The book traces their relationship—from young lovers to best friends to mutual muses and collaborators—and their eventual rise to fame.
Although the memoir purports to recount both of their lives, it's Smith's story to tell, due to the fact that Mapplethorpe died from AIDS 20 years ago. She gives a cursory history of both of their childhoods, but the bulk of the narrative takes place in the big city as the two meet, bond, bed, become literal starving artists in Brooklyn, then move on up to Manhattan's Chelsea Hotel, the nexus of counterculture cool.
Given Smith's background as a gal who worships at the throne of Rimbaud and Dylan, it's not surprising that at times the straightforward narrative gives way to poetical musings, especially when she recalls the periods when she and Mapplethorpe were apart. Still, she has great insight into the development of their creative processes, especially her evolution from writer to rock star, and his from painter to shutterbug (not to mention from straight to gay). Just Kids is also chock-full of amazing anecdotes starring the era's glitterati—Andy Warhol and the Factory divas, William Burroughs, Jimi Hendrix, Sam Shepard, Janis Joplin, Allen Ginsberg. In the end, it's not just an ode to Mapplethorpe, but a love letter to New York City's '70s art scene itself.—Raven Snook
Smith reads Tue 19 at Barnes & Noble and Jan 21 at the 92nd Street Y.

From the Private Journal of Mathew Prince
I had the nightmare again last night. Bolts of lightning paralyze me in agony, while magic flames start consuming my body. As I scream and yell for mercy, my tormentor appears. The lady Kassandra applies her deft skill without a moments concern for my suffering. No dark shadow is she, no monstrous doppelganger. She looks and acts the very same as she ever has. The same as when she does something as mundane as creating a flame or sending a ghostly whisper. I desperately look around for aid. The paladin rushes up, but relishes in the flames instead of putting them out. "Yes, burn him! Burn it all!" he cries. In the distance, I see Gillan, but he has his own problems. An unconvincing monster mask was placed on him, and Lord Robert is preparing his spear. "Ha, you are Evil and I am an Honorable Knight and so I will kill you, and rescue the princess!" Said princess is a straw dummy with some lipstick, indifferent to the whole proceedings. As the flames begin to rise, I feel my time growing short. I look around to see what Kassandra's last words to me might be, what might I say in desperation. But she's already gone. My dispatch does not merit comment nor even her attention. The pain, the smell, the despair overwhelm me, and I finally wake up.
The final days in the Fairy games were stressful for all of us. In a typically twisted contest, we were set against our mirror images. Lord Robert showed some improvement in his leadership. He's learned (the hard way) the merit of caution, and the benefit of being better informed, giving due consideration before taking action. However, his caution came at the price of his willingness to take certain risks. Not even willing to let me sneak around on my own to find out the lay of the land (at least the knowledge that he sees me as sufficiently valuable to keep around is good to know).
The party managed to dispatch their doubles with little trouble. I have to admit it seems somewhat disconcerting the ease with which they killed their "others". Perhaps they were just putting on a brave face, keeping private they qualms they felt. My own flippant remark that I had "taken care" of my copy belied the importance of what transpired between us. Still, I can't help but wonder what it means that the rest of them can so quickly see themselves as something to fear and something to destroy. Kassandra I understand is terrified of her own potential, but the rest? Still, the task was done, and besides some arcane torture from the hands of what was once a friendly face, we are mostly unscathed.
The journey to the Fairy Court was uneventful. We'd been warned about the dangers of eating or drinking anything on the way, but even if we hadn't the tricksters were far too obvious. No rapport building, no shill, no duking in, might as well have tried Tossing the Broads on a Deep-Sea Gambler. I expected more to be honest. Kassandra tried to help me walk in my injured state, completely oblivious to the fact that her every touch relived the memory of those bolts coursing through my nerves. I hid the pain, not wanting to unnecessarily hurt the lady's feelings.
The Court was filled with much intrigue and plotting of powers far beyond anything I could imagine. I knew to use my small stature to keep out of sight and not draw attention. Anything spoken would have to be very deliberate and thought-out. I assumed the rest of the party felt the same, and then Lord Robert squandered the faith I put in him. He seemed to think that an all-powerful and particularly vicious Fairy King would wait to hear him out and not leap to action at the slightest provocation. I wouldn't be too bothered if Lord Robert had intended to arrange the demise of the former fairy and former team mate ShitGrub, but it was clear that his natural instinct to say the first thing that came to mind once again caused him strife. Small distraction before the main event. It's not every day one meets a Lord of Hell and can walk away. However much I feel about not wanting to get involved with the machinations of Fairy powers, it goes double for Demon Kings. Still, it would possibly be wise to see what ties either forces had with Robert and Kassandra's island, and whether or not they might become entangled again in the future.
The rest of the party seemed to have each obtained something of the whole debacle. As I sit here scratching behind the ear of my new canine companion, I think perhaps I have as well. If I am to keep the company of this group for much longer, there is one of them I'll need to discuss some matters with. One of them who is clearly quite important.

I'm sure that subscribers (both current and former) of NetFlix have been following the saga of the company's declining subscriber base, and the foibles of the current CEO, Reed Hastings. Given the quarterly earnings and subscriber report for Q3 2011, it seems that a shakeup at the company is imminent, and I wanted to be first in line. So, today I submitted my resume for the position of CEO.
Now, let's be frank: am I qualified to be CEO of *anything*, let alone a multi-million (billion?) dollar corporation? Ha… NO! I fully admit this is a lark, just to see if I get any kind of reaction at all. I bet you one whole internet I don't hear anything back at all, other than the auto-responder that replied to the e-mail. But it makes for a fun little post for both readers of my blog (Hi, Mom!!).
Below is my email to email@example.com:
I would like to formally submit my resume for consideration for the position of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board.
I realize this may come as a bit of a surprise, especially considering that you are most likely not even soliciting applicants for the position, and if you were, it most certainly would not be listed on your public job site for just anyone to apply. However, it can come as no surprise that NetFlix has lost market share over the past 6 months. Especially hard-hitting is the loss of nearly a million subscribers over the past three months – and there is no indication that the subscription loss will abate anytime soon.
I believe this can be directly attributed to the actions of Reed Hastings. While we as subscribers can understand that negotiating the rights for more content can be costly, Mr. Hastings' intimation that most people can absorb the cost of the increase be cutting out a latte every month is borderline insulting. While price increases are a necessity in this modern economy, it can definitely be presented in more palatable terms. Add to that the recent mis-step regarding splitting the company into two distinct halves, and it would appear that Mr. Hastings does not fully use the advice that his advisers give.
Now this is not to say that Mr. Hastings is not a visionary in many ways. He foresaw (correctly) that brick-and-mortar DVD rental was a fading trend, and positioned NetFlix to move into the rental-by-mail business – a move that not only scooped up customers from Blockbuster and the like, but also tapped into an under-served rural market that most national chains had forgotten about long ago. Likewise, his move to internet streaming well before that was a marketable buzzword was nothing short of revolutionary.However, for all of his visionary steps in bringing the company where it is, NetFlix's declining market share and subsequently declining stock price demands management change, if the company wishes to be seen as customer-focused going forward. It is with this in mind that I respectfully submit my resume.I thank you for your time.Sincerely,Gregory B. Dickinson

Okay, somebody here at work has the full game. I'm not sure if it's pirated or if he bought the UK version. He has a character that went to Cloudworks and the game has a ton of quests in that city. There were lots of submaps (sewers, mines, robot factory, etc) all within the one map area. If the rest of the game is this full, it will make me totally rethink my purchase. I also noticed that his level 20 Troll was wiping out the marsh area creatures. They only level up with you to level 10. After that, they stop matching you and they become fodder. You can also just ignore them and run past, that's what he did. I ordered the game from Gogamer. It is only 34.90 with $4 for shipping. I should have it in a few days.

glued down carpet...can I cheat?
I have a 76 yr old house that used to be a rental. At some point and as will happen with rentals, someone installed carpet in the back porch. They glued it down. They glued it down over what I assume is vinyl or lino. They glued it down right over the metal stair nosing. They glued it up onto the walls which was then covered with baseboard. They glued it down the basement stairs.
So what I have is an area of about 100 sq ft that I would like to change as the carpet is horrible and filthy. I am doing a cork laminate in the kitchen which butts up to the carpet covered stairs. I've been told laminate, even cork is a bad idea on stairs and besides, with the nosing strips it's not flat enough for laminate. So there are 6 stairs, a landing, a nice flat section and the adjoining basement stairs.
What I am after is a way to hide or get rid of the carpet but I fear with the glue it's just too big a job for me at the moment (I am already doing the bathroom and kitchen among other things so I have a lot of work here already). Besides it's just the back door area which is only used by me and the dog and isn't visible except from the back door.
Can I cover it and what would I use? Is there anything I can do given the stairs have those metal nose strips under the carpet or am I doomed? What about carpet over carpet?
Really if I can find a way to cheat for a year or so until I can tackle it properly, I'd be happy. Any suggestions?
Is the carpet glued down just at the perimeter or the entire carpet area?
If it is just the back area and you and your dog are the only one's to use this area and you will be tackling it later the right way. Just leave it alone.
I'm not so sure I'd waste the money or the effort for a 1 year thing. Put that money and effort on a permanent project someplace else in the house.

The ones introduced 2002.08.13
iJawn108 -
I've got a dual 1.25 MDD that I'm ready to sell. In great working and cosmetic condition. I have the original box and packaging as well as the original install CDs. As such, I can provide it in its original software configuration (OS 9 & OS X 10.2) or with a fresh Leopard install.
I no longer have the keyboard or mouse, but I do have the 17" Cinema Display which I may consider selling as well if interested - also in perfect condition.
The RAM was increased to 1.5 gigs at time of purchase and I later added an OWC USB 2.0 PC Card (2 USB 2.0 slots, 2 additional FW400 slots), other than that the hardware is all original.
Dual 1.25 Ghz PPC G4 7455
ATI Radion 9000 Pro Graphics Card (Both DVI & ADC)
56k Modem
10/100/gigabit Ethernet
Airport Card (Not Extreme)
Three issues to note:
1. The power button is most responsive when pressed in the upper-left quadrant of the button. I remember reading about this being a documented issue, but I can't remember where now.
2. The OWC USB 2.0 PC Card has been unstable in the past. I don't know if it's the driver or hardware itself, but I've had it hang on big USB 2.0 transfers from time to time. It's only a $40 card anyway, so if it gives you problems, it's cheap to replace.
3. Like all machines of this model, the fans in the power supply are comparatively loud. I wasn't aware of the power supply replacement program Apple had a couple of years ago, so it has the original. It's not obscenely loud, just a bit louder than you'd expect, thats all. If you're looking at this model, you probably already know about all this though.
If you're interested, feel free to PM me an offer. It's a great machine, well taken care of, so I'm not desperate to sell - no low ball offers please. Let me know if you'd like photos as well.
I'll also PM you with the same message.
Forgot to mention:
Serial Number - XB238190LKB
Part Number - M8573LL/A
I input the serial to http://www.chipmunk.nl, this is the production data I received:
Serial number: XB238190LKB

Yesterday, like thousands of others, I ran a half marathon to prepare for the London marathon in six weeks' time. Before the race I felt some soreness in my hip: I shrugged it off as a niggle. At 10 miles, every stride started hurting, but, probably stupidly, I staggered on – nowhere close to my PB, though still a pretty respectable time I suppose (1hr 33min). Today, though, I can hardly walk and am at that awful stage of Googling injuries and looking up physios nearby.
The race I did was the Reading Half, and as with last year (when the weather was truly dire), it was really well supported. How I managed to totally block out all memory of the hills – minor compared to many, but enough to throw you off your pace – I don't know, but I'd like to publicly apologise to my friend Alex for signing her up on the premise that it was "flat as a pancake". I must have been delirious last year.
It does have an absolutely cracking finish in the Madejski Stadium, though, with an amazing crowd cheering home elite athletes, recreational runners, a camel, a banana, a crowd of Where's Wallys and the hugely impressive Tony the Fridge home, to name but a few. The hills probably wouldn't even have been so hilly on another day, with fresher legs and a hip that works.
But today I am fretting. My hip – I think my iliacus muscle – is in considerable pain and I'm trying not to think about the fact that the London Marathon is now a whisker under six weeks away. Having only just come back from a previous injury, the thought of more rest, more treatment, another step backward is dispiriting to say the least. I can only cross my fingers and hope it is nothing major. Any tips on staying positive, or the phone number of a physio with proven magical powers, most welcome …

Swedish youth have increasingly been headed for the Black Sea resort areas in Bulgaria in search of fun and sun. But, recently, some young Swedes encountered an anti-western attitude upon the part of Bulgarians. A young Swede was beaten to death in a nightclub as police calmly observed.
Many areas of eastern Europe are still escaping from fifty years of propaganda against the west which was all too common in its government media. There are undoubtedly still remnants of these attitudes among some Bulgarians.

Of the Blazers' eight C-USA games that were announced in the schedule released by the league office this week, only three (Southern Miss, East Carolina and Marshall) of those will be against conference foes they played in 2012.
UAB will play first-time games -- both on the road -- against FIU (Oct. 12) and UTSA (Oct. 26). The Blazers have played Middle Tennessee and FAU previously, but the 2013 pairings will be the first games against the Blue Raiders and Owls as fellow conference members.
UAB will open the 2013 season with a road game at Troy on Aug. 31 to play the Trojans in the 11th meeting between the schools. A week later, the Blazers will travel to Baton Rouge, La. to take on the LSU Tigers. The contest at Tiger Stadium on Sept. 7 will come 13 years after UAB defeated LSU (13-10) during the 2000 season.
After an open date, the Blazers will play their 2013 home opener, taking on Northwestern (La.) State at Legion Field. UAB wraps up its non-conference schedule on Sept. 28 with a trip to Nashville, Tenn. to meet the Vanderbilt Commodores.
UAB begins conference play the first weekend in October with a home game Oct. 5 against FAU. The Blazers and Owls met four times during a four-year period (2008-11).
UAB will play at FIU on Oct. 12 and then have its second open date of the season.
The Blazers resume play on Oct. 26 with a road game at UTSA followed by a home contest against Middle Tennessee on Nov. 2. UAB and MTSU have played three times previously with the Blazers winning twice. UAB defeated the Blue Raiders, 14-9, in their most recent game in 2000.
The Blazers will face a pair of familiar foes Nov. 9 and 16 when they play road contests at Marshall and East Carolina, respectively. UAB defeated the Thundering Herd, 38-31, last season in Birmingham. The Pirates lead the series with the Blazers, 8-4, after winning the last six matchups.
The 2013 C-USA alignment will feature seven teams in both the East and West Divisions. East Carolina, FAU, FIU, Marshall, Middle Tennessee, Southern Miss and UAB comprise the East Division, while Louisiana Tech, North Texas, Rice, Tulane, Tulsa, UTEP and UTSA make up the West Division.
Each school will play every team in its division once for six games, while playing two cross-over opponents from the opposite division. The 2013 schedule has 14 playing weeks, which provides for two open dates for each team. The schedule is a one-year model, meaning that as the conference lineup changes for the 2014 season, opponents may change and locations of games for that season are not yet determined.
A schedule of televised games will be released at a later date. Conference USA's national television partners are Fox Sports Media Group and CBS Sports Network for regular season contests. The league's ninth annual Championship Game, pitting the champions of the East and West Divisions, is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 7 and will be televised by ESPN or ESPN 2.
Please note that all games are subject to date changes.

Cooperative strategy for web data mining and cleaning

While the Internet and World Wide Web have put a huge volume of low-quality information at the easy access of an information gathering system, filtering out irrelevant information has become a big challenge. In this paper, a Web data mining and cleaning strategy for information gathering is proposed. A data-mining model is presented for the data that come from multiple agents. Using the model, a data-cleaning algorithm is then presented to eliminate irrelevant data. To evaluate the data-cleaning strategy, an interpretation is given for the mining model according to evidence theory. An experiment is also conducted to evaluate the strategy using Web data. The experimental results have shown that the proposed strategy is efficient and promising.

Martin to Jayasuriya, OUT, gone! Good, fullish ball angled across him from off stump, draws him forward and he just pokes at that and gets a thick edge through to Fleming at second slip, and thats an early breakthrough for New Zealand
ST Jayasuriya c Fleming b Martin 0 (6m 3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
Martin to Tharanga, OUT, got 'em! What a ball! Pitches very fast on a good length on off stump, lands and shapes away, Tharanga stands and tamely defends, the ball swishes by and nibbles the outside edge of the bat and McCullum does the taking, a loud appeal and he's given, Martin strikes again!
WU Tharanga c †McCullum b Martin 7 (33m 23b 1x4 0x6) SR: 30.43
Martin to DPMD Jayawardene, OUT, cleaned him up! Poor shot! Lands on a good length outside off stump and comes back in, surprises him, and all he can do is push the bat down on it in a hurry, and ends up chopping it back onto the base of off stump, not a good shot there but Martin's undone him, and he has three in no time, Sri Lanka in trouble!
DPMD Jayawardene b Martin 0 (11m 4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
Oram to Kapugedera, OUT, Gotcha! the typical subcontinental poke outside off stump. It's a fatal attraction that many from that part of the world share. Length-delivery that pitched outside off and held its line and the youngster couldn't resist a flirt. Caught at third slip.
CK Kapugedera c Sinclair b Oram 5 (43m 23b 1x4 0x6) SR: 21.73
Franklin to Silva, OUT, Got im! Another one of those fatal pokes. Angled away after landing on a length, a classical left-armer's delivery, and Silva pushes at it, away from his body and Fleming swallows the cherry at first slip. It is his 158th catch. Only two people - Mark Waugh and Brian Lara - have taken more catches than him. A cavalier innings comes to an end. Impetuous, aggressive, at times a bit too aggressive, and a rather interesting little knock.
LPC Silva c Fleming b Franklin 61 (104m 83b 7x4 1x6) SR: 73.49
Vettori to HAPW Jayawardene, OUT, Strikes right on the tea break! An arm-ball. It landed just outside off, slid in and sneaked through the bat and pad gap and struck Jayawardene in front of offstump. That wicket would hurt Sri Lanka. Sangakkara is at the risk of running out of partners
HAPW Jayawardene lbw b Vettori 25 (47m 52b 3x4 1x6) SR: 48.07
Bond to Vaas, OUT, this time he gets his man! Strives for more pace this time, lands it on a sweet length outside off stump and Vaas doesnt get behind the line and nibbles at it, ball takes a thin edge through to a gleeful McCullum and up goes umpire Taufel's finger, Bond strikes early
WPUJC Vaas c †McCullum b Bond 0 (3m 5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
Vettori to Maharoof, OUT, got 'em! Loops this one high and makes it hang in the air just a tad, lovely flight, takes the pace off the ball too and Maharoof comes half-forward and nibbles at it, and the result is the thinnest of edges into McCullum's gloves, umpire Jerling says yep, thats out
MF Maharoof c †McCullum b Vettori 4 (11m 5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 80.00
Vettori to Malinga, OUT, gone! Flat outside off stump, Malinga comes forward and pushes at it, and Sinclair at silly point holds onto it, that was just off the bat and into his hands, tame dismissal and Malinga goes
SL Malinga c Sinclair b Vettori 0 (8m 5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
Bond to Muralitharan, OUT, thats that then! Pitches full on leg stump, Murali goes back and can only tap that back to Bond, who takes a neat caught-and-bowled, didnt have to move much and thats the end of the Sri Lankan innings
M Muralitharan c & b Bond 0 (5m 3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

March was a busy month for sure and was a great turning point for the season. I finished all three tournaments this month in the money. We started the month on Hartwell and ended on Rayburn. My tournament finishes this month are as follows: the FLW Tournament on Hartwell I finished in 70th Place, the Rayovac Texas Series Tournament on Rayburn I finished in 20th Place and the FLW Tournament on Sam Rayburn I finished in 43rd Place. This has moved me up in the angler of the year standings to 78th for FLW and 51st for Rayovac. Just got to have a strong finish in the few and we will be heading to South Carolina for the Forrest Wood Cup again!!
I am heading out this weekend to my favorite lake on the tour this year…BEAVER LAKE in Rogers, Arkansas. Stay tuned for my next entry about Lake Beaver.

Drake, the crooning, brooding rapper, has a fairly diversified portfolio of interests and activities. Included in that array is a gig as the 'global ambassador' for the Toronto Raptors, parlaying his high visibility and his status as a well-known NBA fan to promote the Northernmost franchise in the Association, who want to bring a message of mopey, midtempo R&B flavored hip-hop to anyone who thinks about the Raptors. Or something.
Anyway, during his set at his annual OVO Fest (OVO is Drake's catch-all brand/logo centered around his record label, OVO sound), Drake talked about an NBA player. We imagine this is not all together an uncommon situation, since athletes love Drake, and Drake loves athletes, but this soundbite wound up with Toronto being left on the hook for $25,000.
"Before we leave, I just want to show one of my brothers something," Drake said to the crowd during his set. "My brother Kevin Durant [note: Drake and Durant are not actually brothers] was kind enough to come to the show tonight and watch us. I just want him to see what would happen if he came to play in Toronto. Let him know what would happen." The crowd responded with chants of "KD! KD!" Then Drake said thank you, because Drake seems like the kind of guy who always says thank you.

Please don't relax her hair! She has a fairly loose curl pattern and it will be very easy to manage if you do some more research and use the right products. Try Mixed Chicks products! They even have videos on their website to show you exactly how to use their products. My daughter's hair has been so easy to manage after I learned that it has different needs from mine. Her hair probably only needs to be washed once and week, and using a satin pillow case helps a lot. Is her hair long enough for you to put into one or two english braids? That is a good way to keep it detangled and in good condition. I wish you the best! If you feel that you hate your daughters hair, remember, her hair is a large part of her, and for her to love herself, you need to also.


text: I have a G4 tower system with a "studio Display" I don't have room to store. It boots up to the log in screen. I'll sell it, trade it or whatever. I'm oviusly noot looking to get rich selling this, If you can use it let me know. One project I wanted to do with it was to replace the motherboard with new intel i7 quad core and build a "legal hacintosh." Why would it be legal? Apple says you can install Mac OS into any "Apple branded' computer and they do not prohibit hardware upgrades. This tower fits "normal" PC motherboards and pc power supplies. I will never have time to do this. But it would be cool to own a quad core i7 Mac tower. The Studio Display is the best looking CRT type display i've seen. It has the clear cover so you can see the "insides". The AC power and USB data and video signal all comes in via one custom cable so this monitor ONLY works with the custom graphic card that it came with. THis seems to work fine. Very sharp and bright CRT. It is the coolst looking "retro" monitor I've ever seen (except for the operator console of a CDC6600.) I also have a "normal" video card in an anti-static bag included. There is a phone modem card installed and an audio card but no WiFi card. I'll sell for under market value or trade for "whatever". I can ship it but it is going to cost a LOT to ship. I'm in Redondo Beach, CA 90278. I'll take about 75% of whatever these sell for on eBay OBO. One more thing... While it did just boot and let me log in using my old password I'm selling this as "For Parts Or Repair". Zero warranty. This thing is just to old. But I do have photos of the log in screen. DETAILS Power Mac G4, 1.2GHz boots Mac OS X 10.3.9 896 MB SDRAM CPUs 1 Graphics ATY.Rage128Pro (AGP Bus) 120GB WD ATA type disk Pioneer DVD-RW DVT-104 Cosmetics: Not bad at all, nothing looks broken, no big scratches, The screen on the CRT sems to have what looks like a tint that is slightly word near the top. Screen is brighter in the worn off places. Likely this is from cleaning the glass a few to many times. If you live in So Cal you can come and pick it up or look at it. This is likely not such a good deal if you have to have it shipped. Again the price is "75% or less of whatever you think is a fair price" and remember it is "for parts or repair" if you are not local, "working, as is" if you come to pick it up.

Conex Home
I am embarking on the process of building a home for myself (and possibly a few other people in the future). After spending a while looking at the possibilities, I've settled on purchasing a piece of land and using shipping containers for the structure of the home itself. This seems to be an advantageous solution as a standard container runs in the neighborhood of $2,500 and can easily be fitted and welded together to create a sound structure.
I do have experience with stick welding and basic home repairs and I'm very at-home with tools but I've never built a home or a structure. What I'm wondering is what other considerations I need to take into account for the project.
The home will be build in the city of Los Angeles, I know I need to look up the building code requirements but I'm not entirely sure where I'd go to get these. I've been running into the problem of simply not being able to find the building codes (or someone who would know them) that apply to this sort of application. I realize I also need hookups for sewage, water, electricity, and internet but I'm not sure how I'd go about finding out that process.
Anything else that should be accounted for and other advice would be welcomed.
Thank you in advance.
Good luck with this wild eyed idea.
If you Google container home you will see lots of other people that have built homes and garages with containers.
Unless you can find someone with cash it's not likly a bank would ever lend the money to build one.
Good luck even trying to get a building permit to build one in LA.
About all you "saving" is the framing cost on a home of the same sq. footage, which would have been almost as much as to spent to buy, plus the delivery charge.
Then your facing the nightmare if trying to side, insulate and roof it.
Even if you got them for free there's just a whole lot more involved in making one a home then just building one yourself or buying a prefab house.
A 40' High Cube in decent shape costs between $2-3,000. I'd probably get four as I dont need much space.
The land is relatively inexpensive if I can pick up something that has an undesireable feature on it for others such as a structure that is unusable, has burned down, or a plethora of junk on it.
I can do the vast majority of the welding and cutting myself and I live close to the port of Los Angeles, one of the busiest ports in the world. Closed cell spray-on insulation is readily avalilible and usable outdoors.
The major expenses will be buying the land and paying for an electrician to do the eletrical and a plummer to do the plumming. Both of which I could probably do if I studied the process enough, but I'd rather pay someone else to do it right the first time.
What part of this exactly is so impossible?
You mentioned you have never built a home before, do you have the cash to pay for all of the work to be done for you?
No bank is going to lend money for any first time home builder even on a conventional home.
You need to spend a whole lot more time doing research before spending a dime.
Land, septic system or sewer hook up cost, site work, slab work, plumbers cost Plumbing need to be in place before the slab is pored), permits, Temperary power pole, welding rod, (better get some prices on spray foam the price will shock you) Trusses, sheathing, shingles, siding, doors, windows, ect. ect.
And all more expencive to do because of it being a steel building.
Get on some of the web sites I suggested and ask them some of the hoops they had to go trough.
Some ideas look good on paper but just are not worth it in real life.
Contacting the builders generally doesnt work out because they often just plunked the money down to have a contractor build it for them.
I'm here as part of the research.
No one else has anything on this at all? No one here has experience with alternative construction?
You can possibly find copies of the building code at a public library.
All big cities are very particular about building plans and code, but I expect that L.A. is an earthquake zone and they will be particularly picky, so before the county issues a building permit, I expect you are going to need to submit a full set of plans that are signed off by a profesional engineer licensed in the state of California.
So step 1 would be find a P.Eng to design this home for you.
how big are the containers on average?
Ventilation can be an issue with shipping continers. My friend's property was right on the Gulf of Mexico, so a breeze was almost always present. He went to a marine salvage yard and got some marine portholes and had them installed in the sides of the containers so that he could generate a cross breeze in the living areas. The metal heats up quickly on a sunny day and it would have been intolerable inside otherwise. The portholes also served as weatherproof windows when it was stormy.
He situated his two containers in an L-shape. One was living space, sort of a large living room with a bed at one end. The other was kitchen and bathroom space, that cut down on the plumbing expenses. The space in the protected area of the L contained a sunscreen covered pergola with outdoor cooking sources, a horno and pit barbeque and a propane grill, as well as weatherproof comfortable seating...most mornings and evenings it served as more living space.
In order to secure the living areas he had wrought iron gates welded to the corners. When he left he closed the container doors, then closed the gates over them and padlocked the gates. He never had a problem.
He sold the property....some of his hunting friends made him an offer he could not refuse, he said.
Cheers! Hope your project goes off....having been a licensed and bonded contractor I foresee huge problems with the city building inspectors, and have no doubts, they really live for the chance to make self-builders miserable. You'll get little help from them when you run afoul of the codes....you're on your own.
Don't get me wrong, codes are not a bad thing, just remember that they are the MINIMUM requirements. If you have a family you will house in the structures, are you sure they will be safe enough if all you strive to achieve is the minimum?????
If you could afford country property you would be much less burdened by the bureaucratic gestapo!
Dugly :cool:
Why don't you look into a Yurt or Straw Bale construction. These are more acceptable in the main stream. I understand your wanting to use containers. That would be something I would try. I have a shop inside of a tent. :whistling2: If you go forward then hard foam insulate the outside. Build a carport type frame around it, OSB with a wrap, then metal or plastic roofing as a covering. Easy. :thumbup: dorf dude...
Finding the building code should be just about the easiest thing about this project, the building inspector will have a copy, and can direct you where to purchase your own copy. It may be on line as well.
Containers are used fairly frequently for homes, and are getting increasing use as temporary shelters after disasters, or in military zones. As has been pointed out, the container only gives you framing and a skin, so all the standard costs of a home remain, including foundation, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, finishes, siding (unless you like the look of a raw container), a roof (ditto, maybe you like the steel skin look of a container).
There is the usual site prep costs, which may be lower for a container since you can often just put them down on a gravel pad.
I would start with the building inspector. There may already be a few similar designs in LA, I saw one in New Orleans at a demonstration site for alternative, low cost housing.
An excellent method of reusing containers! Recycled shipping containers offer a quick and inexpensive solution to housing needs.
I have no advice to offer, but I always thought it would be cool to bury them and make an underground shelter / hideout.
My wife wants to get one and use it for a root cellar and wine cellar. Our concerns are ventilation so we don't get mold and mildew which was covered by YerDugliness. Good luck.
Edit: didn't realize this post was 2013 I hope all went well.
