Swimming Pool Blog
by Mark Garcia July 2, 2013
Last fall, the pool industry lost one of it's great pioneers. Andy Pansini, founder of Jandy, and inventor of many pool cleaners and systems, passed away.
Part of the legacy of Andy Pansini are the hundreds of thousands of pools out there, with a Jandy Energy Filter set-up, used to power an automatic pool cleaner, without a booster pump.
Like all of Andy's inventions, the system developed by Jandy to power the Ray-Vac and many other earlier pool cleaners was nothing short of unique.
Sylvan pools used the design for years, as did hundreds of other smaller pool builders. It's still used to this day, and here's how it operates. A 3-way valve is installed in the pipe between the pump and the filter. The valve can be rotated to allow water to be sent to the pool cleaner, connected into the pool wall.
OK, so what? Well, the unique thing is that the water is being sent to the cleaner before it has passed through the pool filter, in other words, as the water is being pushed towards the pool filter, a percentage of it is drawn off, and is diverted to the pool cleaner. This allows the cleaner to operate without putting back pressure on the pool filter tank.
This design for the original Energy pool cleaner called for a small cartridge filter - and it was called the Energy Filter. It's not like a normal filter cartridge, but instead is a spun plastic material, very durable. It's purpose is to prevent the pool cleaner from clogging up, since the water powering the cleaner has not been filtered and will have some small bits of debris that pass through the pump basket.
Repairs to a Jandy Energy Filter Top
Stripped Threads: A common problem that occurs is the plastic threads for the pressure gauge can strip easily from cross threading the gauge during reinstallation. This problem has been fixed, as Jandy has been using a brass insert for many years now, but many older models still exist, like our problem example shown here, stage right.
The method of repair? Using a Tap and Dye Set, with a 1/8" NPT Tap, you can cut new threads into the plastic of the filter top.
Be sure to cut straight and evenly. Apply a layer of silicone to the threads on the filter top and on the pressure gauge. Wrap the gauge threads 3x with Teflon tape, and gently thread into the filter top. Allow the silicone to dry for 24 hours before testing for pressure. Be sure that it's securely threaded in place, under pressure the gauge could become a projectile if it breaks loose!
If this repair fails you and the plastic is too deteriorated to confidently secure the 1/8" Jandy pressure gauge, you can use a 3/8" drill bit, and the use a 1/4" Tap to enlarge the hole size, to accept a regular 1/4" bottom mount pressure gauge.
Cracked Threads: Another common problem is that a small crack can occur, on the top of the filter bowl, running through the pressure gauge threads. Not a big leak, but big enough to be a concern. In this case, it's not usually cross threading that causes the problem, but using too much Teflon tape on the gauge threads. Adding new tape each year makes the diameter of the gauge too large for the hole, and a crack can occur.
Again, the redesign of the Energy Bowl, with the brass insert used as threads - has solved this problem as well. But, assuming that you may have this problem one day, here's a neat trick to repair a small crack in the filter top threads.
With the pressure gauge threaded into the filter top, so that the crack opens up a bit, fill it full of Super Glue. Fill it all the way up, and then quickly but gently unthread the pressure gauge, so the crack will close. Give it a few minutes, and then thread the gauge back into the valve.
Super glue is a remarkable friend for many repairs to pool systems - I always kept a few tubes in my pool service truck!
Broken Threads: There seems to be a common "thread" here - problems with the threads on the Jandy Energy Filter Top. In this case, the threads on underside, for the Energy Bowl, can become brittle and break.
Sealing up the Energy Bowl is sometimes not easy. A new Filter Bowl o-ring helps, and adding lubricant can help prevent leaks. When the molded threads break off on the inside however, the bowl just won't seal up.
And, I'm afraid that I have no repair in this instance, other than a replacement of the Jandy Filter Top. You may need to cut further back on the pipes to reinstall, but hopefully you won't need to replace the 3-way valve.
Thanks for Reading!

Scott Johnson Seems Quite Good!
Fund: New Atlantic Ventures
Posted by Anonymous on 2014-05-06
Like many VCs, seems a bit too focused on "the pitch" (the deck, show, and script; "pitch as performance") rather than regarding the pitch as the time-wasting, full-tangent/kabuki contrivance it is (having little predicative merit).
Don't come too early. All seed-stage funds claim there's no such thing; however, they're lying. If your ducks aren't in a row, you'll blow the opportunity.
Responsive and, while ultimately disinterested in having us pitch, actively helpful. That is unheard-of. I've spoken with him quite a few times, and find him smart and good natured. None of these guys are princes, but he's orders-of-magnitude more engaged and engaging than most other VCs.
All VCs talk about "disrupting, disintermediating, re-inventing," blah-blah-blah. They're more vapidly aspirational than they claim us entrepreneurs to be. Scott is notably different. I believe he actually likes what he does. He doesn't froth at the mouth, isn't beguiled by his own rhetoric, and is smart enough to actually help direct the ball.
Get org'ed, make sure you have a really solid opportunity and know how to exploit it, and find Scott. He makes almost every other VC I experienced look cranky and inept by comparison.PRIVATE: Members Only

How Did the Financial Crisis Affect Small Business Lending in the United States?
November 2012 No. 399
How Did the Financial Crisis Affect
Small Business Lending in the United States?
By Rebel A. Cole, DePaul University, Chicago, Illinois.
56 pages. Under contract number SBAHQ-10-M-0208.
Small businesses are a source of economic strength
to the nation; they provide economic opportunities to
diverse groups of people and bring innovative products
and services to the marketplace. As an economic
engine, they typically create new jobs, but since the
housing bubble burst during 2007-2008 they have
struggled to maintain their foothold. Their success
depends upon their access to credit, and they rely
heavily on depository institutions for their financial
needs. Lax underwriting standards saddled U.S.
banks, large and small, with levels of nonperforming
loans not seen since the banking crisis of the
late 1980s. Anecdotal evidence suggested that small
businesses, which largely rely upon banks for credit,
were especially hard hit. The purpose of this study
is to understand how bank credit, in general, and
bank credit to small businesses, in particular, were
affected by the financial crisis. This study is part of
an evolving discussion among researchers and policymakers.
It is one perspective on the issue, and others
may have additional views and findings.
Overall Findings
The report shows that the decline in bank lending
was far more severe for small businesses than for
larger firms. Bank lending to small firms rose from
$308 billion in June 1994 to a peak of $659 billion
in June 2008 but then declined by almost 18 percent
to only $543 billion in June 2011. Bank lending to
all firms rose from $758 billion in 1994 to a peak
of $2.14 trillion in June 2008 and then declined by
about 9 percent to $1.96 trillion as of June 2011.
• The analysis showed a significant positive
relation between a bank's level of capitalization
and business lending, especially lending to small
business. In other words, the report supports the
position that higher capital standards would improve
the availability of credit to U.S. firms, especially to
small firms, and it refutes banking industry claims
that higher capital standards would reduce business
lending and hurt the economy.
• The research showed a significant negative
correlation between bank profitability and business
lending. Unprofitable banks tended to increase their
lending and their risk exposure so as to exploit the
subsidy from their deposit insurance.
• The author compared business lending by
banks that received TARP funds (Troubled Assets
Relief Program) and those that did not, and found
that the decline in bank lending was far more severe
to small businesses than to larger firms. For example
total commercial & industrial (C&I) lending declined
by 18 percent for large firms versus 20 percent for
small firms. Among banks participating in TARP,
the decline was even greater; small C&I lending
declined by 31 percent and only 10 percent at non-
TARP banks over the 2008–2011 period.
• Small business loans from banks receiving
TARP funds grew more slowly than those from non-
TARP banks (7.0 percent vs. 8.4 percent) and their
allocation of assets to small business loans actually
decreased by 1.9 percent, while those of non-TARP
banks increased by 1.9 percent.
• Bank size had a significant negative effect on
business lending.
• The study found a significant positive relation
between young banks (less than five years old or
"de novo") and business lending. This new evidence
complements existing studies of lending by de novo
banks and suggests that regulators should enact
policies to encourage the formation of new banks as
a way to increase business lending.
Scope and Methodology
The 2007 Survey of Business
Owners (SBO) and the 1996-2010 Current Population
Survey (CPS) are the two sources of data that enabled
this study. The analysis of immigrant business finances
would not have been possible without the data from the
2007 SBO. Logit regressions are used to determine the
probability of entrepreneurship.
Both univariate and multivariate tests were
used to show how the financial crisis affected bank
lending to small businesses. The study utilizes a
fixed-effects regression model that exploits the
panel nature of the dataset to explain three different
measures of small business lending, which were: (1)
change in value of small business loans, (2) change
in the ratio of small business loans to total assets (3)
and the natural logarithm of the dollar value of small
business loans. Several control variables were used,
including financial health variables (asset quality,
earnings, total equity), bank size, and amount of
outstanding loans.

Fall 2012 is shaping up to be a big, exciting season for music: Animal Collective, Grizzly Bear, Calexico, Alanis Morissette, Matthew Dear, The Avett Brothers, David Byrne and St. Vincent, Dinosaur Jr., Green Day, The Mountain Goats, and (maybe) Kanye West all have records on the docket, but with three more album announcements today, the sonic landscape is getting even more appealing.
Band Of Horses' latest, Mirage Rock, will hit stores Sept. 18. Produced by Rock And Roll Hall Of Famer Glyn Johns, the record is the follow-up to 2010's Grammy-nominated Infinite Arms. The record's available for pre-order now on iTunes, and the band will be touring with My Morning Jacket for most of August as a run-up to the release.
The Killers' Battle Born is also due out Sept. 18. Named after the words on the Nevada state flag, the record is only the band's fourth, the last being 2008's Day & Age. The album's very existence should be a relief to fans, who got a little skittish when the band announced a short hiatus in 2010. The lead single from the record, "Runaways," premiered today, and is streaming below.
Ty Segall, on the other hand, never goes away long enough to be missed. Though the garage-punk artist just released a pretty good new record, Slaughterhouse, with his band June 26, he's already got another solo LP in the can. Twins is out Oct. 9 on Drag City. Segall plays the Pitchfork Music Festival this weekend.

Christopher Dorner is now cornered and trapped, holding two hostages but isn't so trapped that he didn't manage to kill another police officer:
One of the deputies involved in a gun battle Tuesday afternoon with fugitive former police officer Christopher Dorner has died of his wounds, law enforcement sources told The Times.
The San Bernardino County sheriff's deputy was airlifted to Loma Linda University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, according to the sources.
Another deputy was also wounded in the shootout near a cabin where Dorner was believed to be holed up in the snow-covered mountains near Big Bear. His condition was not immediately known.
Great humanitarians that they are the left is reacting as you might expect:
Officers are down , chris isn't ! #TeamDorner #TeamDorner #TeamDorner #TeamDorner #TeamDorner #TeamDorner #TeamDorner #TeamDorner
— Yaya. (@YayaIsNovacaine) February 12, 2013
and this:
#TeamDorner …. Let's Go …. Keep Running and Shooting, Black Man … Don't go Down without a Fight
— King of Minnesota (@Jack_Napier_) February 12, 2013
It is amazing to read the racial component in the celebration of Dorner by the people doing so.
I've often said I thought it was a national disgrace that so much violence takes place in urban areas and cities don't put the same effort to stop it.
After reading these comments and more importantly the twitter feeds of the people making them I find it amazing that any police officer would consider risking their lives for any of these people.
As I'm reading this I understand the cabin Dorner is in is now afire and the Swat team is inside. We don't know if he has escaped, if he has burned or what the situation is. I'm hoping the hostages are OK.
This is not something to celebrate no matter what the result. Innocent people are dead and that doesn't even cover the costs and the fear generated.
I would like to ask one question to those cheering Dorner murders on racial and or racial grievance grounds:
How does your justification of murder based on Dorner's grievances, real or imagined, differ from the Klan's justification of murder based on racial grievances real or imagined.
If you can't see that and understand that, then King died for nothing.
Update: Barbarism is not acceptable and must be called out even if advanced by friends
Disagree a different form of Barbarism RT @bobbelvedere RT @bob_owens Time for #Dorner #TeamDorner fans to transition to #DornerBBQRecipes.
— Peter Ingemi (@DaTechGuyblog) February 13, 2013
but contrition once expressed should be acknowledged.
@datechguyblog These are the times when my Old Testament side takes control.
— Bob Belvedere (@BobBelvedere) February 13, 2013
Let's hope #teamdorner does the same.

So... originally this post was supposed to be Homemade Ginger Ale.
And then when that tasted like crap, it was supposed to be something else (which I won't tell you, because there's hope for that yet).
However, I will tell you it involved an ice cream maker - which originally I couldn't use because I forgot to put the canister in the freezer. So I put it in overnight... and then our power went out early this morning.
But then it came back on, and I (mistakenly) thought the canister was ready so I got the ice cream maker going - and it ended up just doing a really thorough job of mixing everything, because the canister wasn't actually frozen.
So... Slow-Cooker Pulled Chicken it is!
This is a great recipe for when it's really hot out and you don't want to turn on your oven. (Like yesterday here in NJ... it's never good when you look at the weather forecast and see "High 103").
I believe you could also set it on low in the morning and it will be ready for dinner when you get home from work.
Slow-Cooker Pulled Chicken
- 1 1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 1/4 C. ketchup
- 1/4 C. brown sugar
- 1 T. + 1 t. Worcestershire sauce
- 1 T. + 1 t. soy sauce
- 2 T. cider vinegar
- 2 T. chipotle sauce* (see notes below)
- 1 t. molasses
- 1 T. Dijon mustard
- 3/4 t. garlic powder
Place all sauce ingredients in slow cooker - stir to combine. Add chicken breasts, nestling into sauce to coat. Cook on high about 3 hours, or until chicken is cooked all the way through and beginning to fall apart. Remove from chicken pieces from crockpot and shred with forks. Replace in sauce, stir to coat, and cook an additional ten minutes. Serve on potato hamburger buns, or other roll of your choosing. Makes 6-8 sandwiches.
*Note: "Chipotle Crushed Sauce" is available in the Spanish foods section of many grocery stores, in a small squeezable bottle - the brand I have is Goya. You also can substitute pureed canned chipotles in adobo sauce instead. You may also adjust the amount of any of the above to your taste for spiciness; 2 T. of chipotle sauce gives this a little kick and adds smokiness. (If you can't find chipotle at all, you can also use red pepper flakes to taste).

Do you gripe about the high prices at Starbucks? Some people try to avoid paying a large sum of money for a drink at the popular coffee shop, but Logan Warren went a different route.
"Armed with my Starbucks Rewards card, I decided to take the opportunity to find out just how much money I could pour into a Trenta--Starbucks' whopping 31-ounce cup," Warren says on his blog.

The enthusiastic computer technician from Texas clearly doesn't need an app to tell him when to take a coffee break. He and a local barista set forth to create the ultimate birthday wake-me-up, since Starbucks Rewards members get a free drink on their birthday.
The result is one part Java Chip Frappuccino, and a whole lot of caffeine (16 shots of espresso). Toppings include "a shot of soy milk, caramel flavoring, banana puree, strawberry puree, vanilla beans, Matcha powder, protein powder, and a drizzle of caramel and mocha."
In total, the uber-drink contains about 1,400 milligrams of caffeine (far above the usual 90-150mg, according to the USDA), and tastes "tolerable." According to the receipt, it took the barista about 20 minutes to create the brew, which costs the tremendous total of $23.60.
Warren believes it's "the most expensive Starbucks drink in the world," and he might be right. The previous claim, from 2011, is a highly modified venti white chocolate mocha at $20.65.

Lately I've been getting some BSODs... one of which gives the MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION and another gives 'A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor' or something along those lines. I've been googling my ass off and keep coming to improper installations, overheating, or a bad part. I ran a temperature monitoring program... it has a little flame symbol next to the GPU and Temp1 which is... well i'm not really sure. It says IT8720F. Which is this: http://www.afatech.com/EN/products_more ... =3&ID=5,69
What that is... I don't know. I'm not a genius with comps, average at best. I know more than most average people, but I'm not even close to an expert.
Anyway. So I'm guessing overheating is the problem. However, I was not having ANY problems until I installed Windows 7 a few weeks ago. Don't know if this is related or not, but it had been running fine for about 6 months. It could just be the fact that it's summer now. But yeah... now just playing WoW will give me a BSOD after a few min. Any ideas on how to cool, or what to do?
EDIT: There is a Temp1, 2 and 3. Temp1 is overheating at like 78C. Temp 2 is normal. Temp3 is -53C... *shoots self*

I just read a lockout article in support of the players. I have to say the author, Howard Bryant must be Kobe's brother because the arguments made here are completely irrational.
In summary, he's saying that there is parity in the NBA. The owners argue that there isn't enough parity and that they want to base their model more like the NFL's where there is. The author says the NFL does not have parity. He bases his argument on stats like this "In the NFL, the league of the vaunted hard salary cap and far less guaranteed money for its players, 20 of the 44 teams in the NFC of AFC title games came from top-10 TV markets" OK, so 31% of the teams played in 45% of the title games. I think that's pretty even considering some teams get ravaged by injuries or bad management every year.
To say the NBA has parity is ridiculous. 3 teams from the west have made the finals since 1999. 12 years. 3 teams. Sounds pretty lopsided to me. In the east there have been a number of teams that made the finals, but every year there are about 4 good teams and 11 horrible ones. Yes the Knicks have one of the highest salaries and haven't done anything, but that doesn't mean having no cap is a good system. In poker if you start each hand with pocket aces you might not win every hand but you definitely start off with an advantage. If you have good ownership, having the highest salary is a huge advantage. (see Lakers and Yankees). Those two teams don't win every year but they've made the finals a hell of a lot more than any other team in their respective sports.
I'm all for a hard cap. It's boring if the same teams are in it every year. Why not just contract the league to 8 teams if the others aren't going to have a chance at being competitive? And yes I'm aware that Oklahoma City is a very small market and are doing alright for themselves, but last I checked there is still only one Kevin Durant, so not every small market team is going to be able to draft him to become relevant.

Chicago Telephone Books, 1878-1971
This morning my husband and I drove down to the Harold Washington Library at 400 S. State in Chicago so I could explore the resources available at the library for Chicago research—specifically telephone books and newspapers other than the Chicago Tribune. There was a public parking lot just around the corner from the library and the all-day weekend fee was $10.00. Not bad. (During the week parking would cost about $21 but it's easy and inexpensive to get to the library by public transportation, too.)
This blog post will focus on telephone books. The first Chicago telephone book appears to be The Telephone Journal, vol. 1, no. 1, published in October 1878. (For a short history of the telephone in Chicago see FundingUniverse.com's page for Illinois Bell Telephone.) The first book includes information about the telephone service along with a three-page "List of Subscribers"--names of businesses and a few individuals along with an address and numbers for "wire" and "call." It also includes a three-page "Business Directory" which lists establishments by category much like a modern yellow pages.
Curious to know if your ancestor was an early adopter? Check the three subscriber pages linked from the top of this post. The printouts weren't the best, but the images should be readable. Make sure to check out the instructions for how to make a call on the top of page one. Reading them made me grateful for my cell phone.
As you'd expect, the number of subscribers increased year by year and the later books include many more personal names than the earlier volumes. I didn't explore in detail, but it appears, at quick glance, that the books mostly include heads of household much like the city directories do.
So how useful would the telephone books be for genealogical research? I'd be curious to hear your experiences using them. But in the meantime, here's my quick take:
If you're researching the early years when city directories are available, I think they're the first-choice resource. A quick comparison of an 1886 city directory and telephone book makes that pretty clear.
Telephone Book: 7071 Skinkle, J. W. residence 543 W Monroe
City Directory: Skinkle, Jacob W. pres. Beck & Hopkins' mnfg. co. 390 Carroll av h. 543 W. Monroe
But, if you're researching a family in the gaps between city directory years (1918-1922, 1924-1927, and after 1928) and need to know an address or establish that they were living in the city, the telephone books might be useful.
Unfortunately, the later directories have tiny print and I found the one film I checked (from the 1930s) challenging to read. I don't think I could have gotten a good printout of it but I could have read it well enough to make a careful transcription to go along with a paper copy.
I'm planning to offer lookups in the Chicago telephone books in the near future. I don't expect to get many requests, but I think the research might occasionally be helpful.

I wonder if the early phone book would be an indication of the status of that individual. His value in spending, etc. Or maybe a person was just lucky to live where it was installed? Interesting. I am going to try and see if I can figure out how to find someone who is rumored to have died in chicago fire. I suppose to early for phones. But maybe another directory of some sort. but she would only have lived there a year or less.

It would be interesting to compare telephone book entries to census entries that show the value of real and personal property.

I am pleased to know that these telephone directories are available at the Harold Washington Library. This is a huge help to us out-of-town researchers to know that we can compare City Directory and telephone book entries for the same family.

I just found your post. My great grandmother lived in chicago and died there in 1983. Unfortunately neither she nor her husband had obituaries but did have the same address for 20 years. The phone book may be helpful
My father/family owned a tavern on State St. for over 70 yrs. I know of 4 or 5 possible locations, 2 of which I'm sure of as I was there. Someone just suggested finding the phone books in the library at the Historical society, now I know they have them elsewhere too. Thanks

I am helping an adoptee search for birthfamily. We think we may have birthfather's family, but birthmother has been a difficult search. We have her address (hopefully not falsified on original birth certificate)but birth was in 1956 (Chicago) and databases available online do not go that far back in time.
We also have occupation and place of employment (??) for birthfather, but company does not show up anywhere.
Looks like I will have to make a trip to the Library. The adoptee lives in another state.
- Rich Venezia said...
Have you had any more experience with the later telephone books? I want to go look at some of these at the Harold Washington Library, but specifically from the late 20s - mid-40s. However, if they all tend to be a mess, it might make more sense to go to the Newberry?
- Mothra R said...
Are these phonebooks online somewhere? My grandfather owned several establishments but one of them was called "The 900 Club." 900 was part of the street address, but I don't remember which street. I would love to know exactly where that was so I could possibly locate a photo of the bar or at least the neighborhood it was in.

Taco Bell's Volcano Taco with Lava Sauce Returns to Menus Nationwide
Would you like fries (or onion rings or chicken tenders) with that?
Note: I got to visit the Taco Bell headquarters in Irvine, California, this week, hence all of this impressive knowledge.
First introduced last September, the Volcano Taco appeared on Taco Bell's menu for only three months. Whether it was the red crunchy taco shell (just the normal one with artificial dyes) or the spicy orange goop (which goes by "Lava Sauce") or the limited-time-only appeal, people were into it. Really into it. When it disappeared from menus, Facebook groups formed with folks acting like it was the fast-food apocalypse--even worse than when the Crazy Gordita Crunch left us.
Thankfully, all the members of "I Refuse to Go to Taco Bell Until They Bring Back the Volcano Taco" can stop freaking out. It's back as a permanent item, joined by the Volcano Double Beef Burrito. Both have the pretty standard taco and burrito skeleton (ground beef, shredded lettuce and cheese, sour cream) multiplied by the Lava Sauce.
Fast-food never seems to get that spicy, but this is a noble attempt. The Lava Sauce will get your attention without making you wear a sweatband. Of course, the elite fire eaters could probably drink a mug's worth and be fine. But please don't, that's pretty gross. After the jump, more than you ever need to know about Taco Bell's Volcano menu.
The Double Beef Burrito weighs 10.8 ounces. A whole ounce of that is the Lava Sauce. They also throw in strips of the red crunchy taco shell, probably to make up for the lack of red flour tortilla jacket here. They're looking into it.
The embryonic stages of the burrito. Yes, that's a sour cream gun you see in the top right. More on that below.
The mayo-based potion of cheese and peppers is one-and-a-half times spicier than the Fire Sauce. On the Scoville scale, it comes in at 800 scovilles compared to the Fire Sauce's 500. It goes up to 16 million, to give you some perspective.
Nice frontal view. The Volcano Taco weighs a mere 3.4 ounces. As with red velvet cake, there's something so mystical about that not-found-in-nature red color. But to repeat, the red crunchy taco tastes exactly like the off-whitish one. Apparently in Taco Bell focus groups though, people still thought it was spicier. You eat with your eyes, I guess.
The Lava Sauce isn't in sauce packets yet, but Taco Bell representatives said maybe some day, just maybe. People are starting to request it slathered all over other things and since Taco Bell adopts a very pro-DIY menu approach (you can mix and match all you want; crazy, I know) they're cool with that.
Bonus: Taco Bell Gadgets
Here are some tools you might find behind a typical Taco Bell counter.
The Meat Rake: The rectangular scooping device for the foundational beef ingredient. This is when you're supposed to start picturing a pile of seasoned ground beef in autumn months with little kids running through it and fathers attempting to plastic bag it.
The Sour Cream Gun: A weapon powered by white glop. Why didn't we fight wars with this?! OMG, they let me play with it.
The Guacamole Gun: The SCG's condiment artillery cousin.
Potato Wedge Receptacle: A team of engineers made sure those windows in the wedge-catching device allowed them to breathe, without letting any escape.
Jalapeño Holey Spoon: To prevent the soggyfication by jalapeño juice.
Note: I did not come across a meat hose.

Ironically, the war turned out to be neither necessary nor a xenocide.
First, it was only attempted xenocide.
Second, it was not necessary.
In addition, there's one more moral point to consider here. (Let me blow your mind...)
The queens were all safe on the Formic homeworld; for seventy-five years they had lost fleet after fleet from colony after colony, but none of the queens had yet been killed, except the one who had tried to colonize Earth. They had good estimates on the arrival date of Earth's fleet. They already knew humans were individually sentient, each one a tool-using survivor. They could have run.
You can't even argue that they were physically or psychologically incapable of fleeing from their bunker. They were psychologically capable of hiding a queen's egg on a colony. The fertile queen who attacked Earth the second time was right there in the fleet, directing her own mindless spawn, her own meat-puppets. The queens knew humans such as Mazer Rackham were willing to kill queens on purpose, and they had good reason to assume that the humans would blow them all up. They already knew a rampaging fleet of self-defense was taking out their space fleets using a cascading molecular disintegration weapon. They even knew that Ender was the best game-player Earth had yet produced, and had a good chance of getting through their defense, and taking out their planet.
The only conclusion I can consider valid is that the Formic queens, as a group of highly intelligent and morally aware sentients, chose to remain on their world and die as penance for the xenocide they unknowingly committed in the Bugger Wars. It was voluntary self-xenocide by proxy; they walked in front of that speeding bus.
At worst, Ender committed involuntary genocide, mass manslaughter of the queens, under false intelligence from his senior officers and the enemy, while serving in the military. In addition, the queens allowed it to happen as a form of penance. The military made him the axe, and the queens knelt willingly at the chopping block.
So yeah, he's earned the right to whine. Both sides used a gifted child to kill, and left him to figure out what he had done.

Product of the Year winners honored
Plant Engineering honored the outstanding new products in manufacturing Monday night with the presentation of the 2011 Product of the Year awards in Chicago. There were 46 products honored in 14 categories at the 24th annual Product of the Year awards event, part of CFE Media's awards night at the Hotel Sofitel in Chicago.
Also honored was NACCO Material Handling, the 2011 Plant Engineering Top Plant recipient, and the winners of the 2011 Engineer's Choice awards, presented annually by Control Engineering.
ePac, developed by ePAC Software Technologies, East Greenwich, R.I., received the 2011 Plant Engineering Grand Award, presented to the product which receives the most votes in all categories from Plant Engineering readers. The software features a Maintenance Performance Index, an exclusive feature of EAM/CMMS that enables each organization to prioritize its maintenance metrics consistent with its goals and objectives. The index is comprised of general performance categories such as reliability, workforce productivity, materials management, customer service, and financial performance.
"The use of software on the plant floor is on the rise, and the importance of proper maintenance strategies is always a crucial issue for our readers," said Plant Engineering content manager Bob Vavra. "It speaks to the importance of these two issues to our readers that ePac would receive the Grand Award in 2011."
The awards dinner capped a day of knowledge and information for the more than 100 attendees at the 2012 Engineering Awards in Manufacturing dinner. CFE Media conducted an afternoon session for marketing and product managers on the most effective ways to market to the manufacturing community. The sessions featured industry experts from around the country who discussed the changing manufacturing landscape and the need to deliver a wider array of solutions to plant managers through a variety of mediums, including online and social media.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., March 28 (UPI) -- Indiana's Purdue University service-learning program students said it has developed an application for Apple's iPad to help autistic children communicate.
Oliver Wendt, an assistant professor of speech, language and hearing sciences who worked with the students developing the, said the app, called SPEAKall!, allowed the children to construct sentences by choosing photos and graphic symbols.
The app speaks the sentence, which allows a child to communicate a thought and helps a child learn to talk. Available since November on iTunes, the free app has been downloaded almost 3,300 times, Wendt said.
With the app, a child could take an iPad into a fast-food restaurant, construct a sentence saying, "I want a cheeseburger," then play it for the order-taker. Hearing how the sentence sounds can help the child develop his or her own speech and language skills, Wendt explained.
"Fifty percent of children with severe autism are non-verbal, meaning they don't develop speech or language skills needed to communicate," Wendt said in a statement. "One strategy to get the children started with functional communication is a low-technology approach where they learn to pick up a graphic symbol card and exchange it for a desired item. The last couple of years, we have been looking at how to move children on to more sophisticated solutions, such as speech-generating devices that facilitate natural speech and language development."

Referrals are an important aspect of success in business. Why? It is easier to get a sale with a prospect that was referred to by a friend rather than a cold prospect. Yet when it comes to getting referrals for yourself, most of us may feel uncomfortable to ask business owners, for a variety of reasons. That is why WarmlyYours is here to provide you with 5 ways to attract referrals without asking!
Give and take: If you want to receive referrals, you are going to have to give them first. Word of mouth can spread like wildfire so if you are generous in giving referrals, business owners will notice. Not only will they feel respected and grateful, but also it will make them eager to point business your way!
Be grateful: Once you have given referrals, it is important to show gratitude towards the people who referred you. There are many ways to show your thanks such as sending cards, gifts, or even discounts. If you show that you're grateful then those who referred you feel reassured and fulfilled.
Create a program: Who doesn't like rewards? A great way to generate more referrals is by creating a rewards program. By offering discounts or coupons for your services as a reward for giving referrals, more people will be encourage to help you generate business.
Have Partners: Partnering with another company will not only help you with referrals but is also a great way to boost business for both of you. Try finding businesses that offer services that complement yours. Make sure not to partner with a competitor of yours but with a company that will have people who would be interested in your product as well.
Good Reputation: If you have a bad reputation, almost all companies will not refer you. Why? It puts their own reputation on the line. If you make a bad impression or you're not professional, then that will eventually carry to all of your prospects and will also affect the business that referred you. Professionalism, money back guarantees, and free consultations not only make a good impression, but allows referrals trust you more and feel risk free instead of feeling that they are being scammed.
Referrals allow your business to grow and build a better reputation. Yet asking for them can be an obstacle some don't want to face. By following this list, you can generate more referrals and boost business without even asking a question.

Botanical Interests "Mammoth Russian" Organic Sunflower Seeds
Towering in the garden at 6'-10', these tall plants produce giant flowers reaching 1 foot across. This popular variety has been grown in gardens since the late 1800s. Love it for its magnificent beauty or grow it to eat the large sunflower seeds. Plants left standing in fall and winter provide food for birds. It is a great choice for kids to plant and watch grow, and it can be an excellent annual privacy screen or border. The young shoots are also edible as sprouts or a fresh-looking garnish, and the unopened buds may be steamed like artichokes. Easy and fast-growing, it tolerates drought and poor soil.
When to plant outside: RECOMMENDED. Sow in spring after the average last frost date. Since seedlings grow so fast, this is the recommended method.
When to start inside: Sow 4-6 weeks before average last spring frost. Start inside only if previous problems with birds eating planted seed outdoors. Plants grow more vigorously if sown directly outdoors.

Court interpreter training planned for Madison
Madison, Wisconsin - September 17, 2010
While Spanish is the primary language requested by the courts, increased efforts are being made to recruit qualified interpreters for many other languages, particularly those spoken by refugees. The state Department of Children and Families Refugee Assistance Services Program is offering a limited number of scholarships to qualified individuals fluent in languages such as Arabic, Russian, Somali, and Lao. Interpreters also are sought for less common African languages such as Mandingo and Maay, as well as Karen which is spoken in parts of Myanmar and Thailand along with Nepali which is spoken by the most recent wave of refugees from Bhutan. In all, applicants fluent in English and about 40 other languages are being sought.
Training sessions are intended for individuals who are interested in learning the fundamentals of court interpreting and are designed to give participants an overview of the needs and expectations of the court with emphasis on ethical conduct, legal terminology, court procedure, and basic legal interpreting skills. Small group practice exercises will help to develop interpreter skills. This orientation is intended as an introduction to the complexities of court interpreting, rather than as an in-depth training. Faculty includes judges, attorneys, and experienced court interpreters. A $160 fee covers the sessions, lunches, and materials. Each session will run 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on two consecutive days.
Applications are encouraged from individuals who are currently interpreting in court proceedings or administrative hearings regularly. The court system also seeks applications from working interpreters in other fields who want to broaden their experience to include legal settings and to bilingual individuals who wish to learn more about the court interpreting profession. Participants who attend the orientation, begin the testing process, and meet other requirements will be placed on a roster of interpreters used by courts, law enforcement agencies, lawyers, and law-related agencies. The deadline for submitting applications for this training is September 24th.
This training is part of the Director of State Courts Office Interpreter Program, which aims to improve interpretation and translation in the courts. For more information on these training sessions, and to register, visit the court system web site at http://wicourts.gov/services/interpreter/training.htm. For more information contact Carmel Capati, Office of Court Operations at email@example.com or (608) 266-8635.

Follow @flickrhivemind Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind. If you log into Flickr you will see your private photos and larger thumbnails.
Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr database of photography. Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly
from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos
are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos
(as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of
Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr
user and use Flickr Stats you
may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer).
Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them.
There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see
Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples.
If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a)
make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by
Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at:
https://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. Google has a bad habit of keeping out-of-date links and thumbnails in their search results, I can try to help you remove them.
(c) Finally, you can
Banish Yourself
From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. This is necessary to make sure you are the user in question, and also because people use such crazy characters in their Flickr user names. You can revoke access when finished. Once logged in, come back to this area

The following are some hints that will help you better plan and execute your den meetings.
Plan your meetings ahead of time with emphasis on the flow of activities. Pay special attention to "After the Meeting" sections of den meeting plans for preparation and materials needed for the next meeting. Alternate between quiet and more vigorous activities. Boys have a lot of energy to expend, so be sure you have an active game or other activity to help channel some of that energy.
At the beginning of the year, establish the rules that the den will follow and the consequences for breaking those rules. Boys should participate in the decisionmaking process. By helping decide what can and can't happen in the den, boys will feel a sense of responsibility toward how the den is run. They will feel that the den is "theirs."
Have them sign a poster on which the code of conduct is written and display it at your meeting place. Or make two copies: one that boys can keep at home and one to be displayed at the den meeting after both the boy and his parent have signed it.
Ceremonies are important for marking the beginning and end of each meeting. They are also a time for reinforcing the aims and purposes of Scouting and bringing the boys together. As boys finish achievements toward their badges, simple ceremonies during the den meeting will serve to congratulate them on their accomplishments.
Use of the immediate recognition kits for Tiger Cubs and Cub Scouts is a method of encouragement along the advancement trail. Set aside time in den meetings to award beads representing completion of achievements. Congratulate boys enthusiastically for their efforts.
A den doodle is an object for the boys to use to show off their accomplishments and achievements. The Cub Scout Leader How-To Book has many ideas for den doodles. Your den of boys can design and create their own den doodle as a den meeting activity at the start of the year. Use the den doodle to keep a visual reminder of activities the den has completed and shared.
Boys love goodies! Simple nutritious refreshments add a finishing touch. Give everyone a chance to share his favorite treats with the den. Discuss food allergies with families and share the information with the den if appropriate.
Fill the scrapbook with sample artwork boys do as den activities, stories about their adventures, and pictures taken of boys with their completed projects. The den scrapbook will be a treasured memento proudly displayed at the boys' Eagle Scout court of honor in just a few years!
The tone you set at the first meeting will determine, to a large extent, the success of your year. Key to setting the right tone is to consider the following
Ask the host team (Tiger Cub and adult partner who will assist at the meeting, your parents helping and assistant den leader(s)) to arrive at least 15 minutes before the starting time of the meeting. They can help you with final preparations before the rest of the boys arrive.
A snack at den meetings is optional. Set the example with healthy, nutritious snacks. Be aware of any food allergies of den members and communicate these to adult partners who may be assisting with the snacks.
One best practice to facilitate communications and involvement is to distribute a family information letter at the conclusion of each meeting. The letter tells families what was completed at each meeting and provides information on upcoming den and pack meetings and activities. Sample family information letters can be found here.
Field trips are an important part of the Cub Scout experience. They are a time not only for fun but for learning. And they are critical steps in your boys earning their badge of rank. It is important that you plan in advance for these field trips. Planning should include the following, at a minimum, for each field trip:
A field trip as a first meeting over the summer can be a good way to break the ice for a new den.
You could, as a den, have an outing to complete Elective 22: Picnic Fun; Elective 29: Safety in the Sun; and Elective 35: Fun Outdoors. (See the Tiger Cub Handbook, No. 34713.) Have a den family picnic, use sunscreen, and play an outdoor game at the picnic. This is a great way for the Tiger Cub families to get to know one another. It is also an optimal time to recruit new Cub Scout adult volunteers.
Distribute the Family Talent Survey Sheet to the parents, asking them to complete it and return it to you at the next meeting. (The Family Talent Survey Sheet can be found here.) The survey serves as a useful tool for you to identify family resources within your den.

I had great intentions this weekend to take one for the team. Really I did.
My intent for this post was to head out for a little High Arctic mid-winter birding, and write about the difficulties of it, but I thought better of it. The Canadian Arctic for much of this winter has seen unprecedented warm temperatures. On the South Baffin, some 1100 kms south of me, the sea ice is only now freezing up. It has rained in Iqaluit this winter in both December and January. Heck, we've had freezing drizzle here in December. The nearest place with climate data from me, Pond Inlet, saw a December that averaged 4 degrees warmer than normal.
But this week saw our temperatures return to normal. This past weekend the temperature here hung around -40C (or for that matter -40F). Now I'm found of telling people that we are no colder here than the Canadian Prairies, we're just colder longer. Normally we can expect temperatures in the mid -20s to the -30s from November through to March. And normally we only see about a week of temps in the -40s. In fact I don't even think we made it to -40 last winter. Surprisingly our coldest month comes with the return of the Sun.
The Sun is about two weeks away from re-emerging from below the horizon, but this weekend was COLD! It probably felt colder than other years, simply because we aren't used to it yet. As Saturday and Sunday slipped away, I looked out at the ice fog and convinced myself that a snowmobile trip that likely wouldn't garner any other species but the one I am guaranteed of seeing in town just wasn't going to happen. Even to give me a break from the house renovations I'm in the midst of.
So instead I thought I'd give you a taste of the bird that is my constant companion, Winter and Summer. The bird that is always there for me, and has grown into my favourite bird. The Raven (Corvus corax).
It is hard to imagine an Arctic Bird more resilient than the Raven. They not only live year round up here, they thrive. Mid winter I estimate there are around 300 in the immediate area, and my counts regularly find well over 200. They are more far flung once early spring arrives. Human habitation concentrates them. Our scraps and garbage make it easier for them to survive.
But they do live up here all year long despite us, and they have for a long time. Out away from town they'd spend much of their winter following Polar Bears or Wolves, and cleaning up their kills for them. They are a most resourceful bird.
The are dark, sleek, beautiful birds. Their feathers at time seem to suck light into them like some Black Hole, and at other times reflect that light, breaking it into a myriad of colours and hues. I love to watch them fly. They seem to make solid the wind, playing, weaving, and soaring in it like we do the ground. It is child's play for them to hang motionless in the strongest blizzard, hanging in one small box of space, until tiring of that spot they'll peel away and soar high into the air, riding the wind to another place.
They are the smartest amongst the smartest family of birds, the Corvids. Problem solvers, everyone who has lived amongst them has marveled, or cursed, their resourcefulness at thwarting our keeping tasty morsels away from them. I have watched one of them dance in front of a chained up dog, the dog straining at its leash. While it keeps the dogs attention more Ravens descend on the bowl of dog food. I marveled, when I lived in Thompson Manitoba, over two Ravens bouncing up and down on the lid of my neighbour's plastic garbage bin, until they popped the catches on it. The lid now off, they eagerly ripped into the bags, scattering the non edible garbage to the wind as they dined.
Their voices intrigue me. Every now and then, at least once a year. I'll hear them utter a sound that I've not heard before, something exotic to mix with the croaks, the falling water, the boinks, and other sounds. They are marvelous creatures, and I can see them anytime I want, just by stepping out my front door. No snowmobile ride in -40 necessary.
Yay! Thank you for not finding anything more exotic, Clare. Love those ravens. Those first two shots are breathtaking. Ravens can be difficult to photograph due to the light-sucking, black-hole-ish nature of their feathers!
Even if the only bird you see all winter is a raven, I won't get tired of reading stories about them. They are the coolest birds.
Love this post and title, Clare. And I would have stayed home too… Rochester weather is almost mild compared to yours, but I've been pretty well pinned down this winter!
I always get a kick out of teaching kids (and adults!) metric conversions and giving them -40C to practice on to see how many times they redo it trying to get a different answer.
I am not a birder, but so many of my friends are that perhaps one day the bug (or the bird) will bite me. I do love bird photos and stories, however, and your telling of the Raven dancing before the dog so the others could raid the food bowl is a hoot (owl allusion, I know).
Your temps boggle my mind. Here in Central California, we are experiencing a strange early spring which is going to mess up the plants when the frost returns, as it inevitably will.
Such beautiful photos, clare. I don't think I've ever seen such fine close ups. Besides stealing dog food and scraps out of garbage, I wonder what else the ravens find to eat in that winter climate. They are incredibly resourceful.
lovely post, Clare
Thank you Dale.
great post!!! and now i wait to see a Parliment of Ravens…. viva Corvus corax!
Thank you Nita. I believe that for groups of bird "parliament" is a group of owls. Raven's supposedly is "a murder".
To add another cool factor to ravens, when in captivity, they can be trained to talk, and have deep "manly" voices, compared to parrot's squeaky tones. Studies show that when trained, they have a higher capacity of speech than Parrots, and show signs of understanding speech, rather than mimicry.
They have an incredible range of natural calls as well Charlie. And about the time you think you've heard every noise possible from them they come up with another song.

Lawyer opens new practice in Valdez
General law practice ready for new clients
Eric Auten, a lawyer with experience in civil litigation and criminal law, has opened a practice in Valdez.
Auten is fulfilling a long-time goal of moving to Valdez.
He said he had an internship in Juneau in the 1990s and spent a little time exploring other parts of the state. One May day, he drove over Thompson Pass. "I almost dropped out of law school right then and there," he joked, citing the scenery, snow and ambience of Valdez as his reasons for settling in this small town. "Anything to do with snow I love."
Auten said the time was right in his career to step out on his own after cutting his teeth with a civil law firm in Anchorage and stints with the law department of the Kenai Peninsula Borough in Soldotna and two years in Bethel with the District Attorney's office.
He came to Valdez late last summer to begin the process of settling in and opening the new law office, which offers general legal services.
"Anything in a small town that walks in the door," he said with a smile.
Auten attended Colorado College and is a 1997 graduate of the BYU Law School. His office is located at 224 Kobuk St. Ste. 3. You can reach the office at 461-0342.
