For cyclists, riding a bike is the greatest workout and recreational activity you can ever engage in. If you ask any experienced cyclist, they will tell you how much they love cycling and how it has improved their lives. Cycling is a simple and effective way to incorporate exercise into your everyday routine. Bikes can be used to get to work, school, and other destinations.
Riding a bike isn't nearly as unpleasant as jogging or going to the gym for most people. This is because getting on a bike and going for a ride often requires dragging your feet which is not usually stressful after you have mastered it.
Cycling, as opposed to other types of exercise, can be more challenging and exciting. You can ride your bike for fun, but you can also compete in races and other cycling events. There are also a variety of cycling tools and gadgets available, such as power meters and heart-rate monitors, that can be used to track your progress and help you learn to become a better cyclist.
Riding a bike comes with a lot of mental and health benefits. Cycling is one of the healthiest physical activities you can do. It improves cardiovascular health by strengthening the heart muscles, lowering resting pulse, and lowering blood fat levels, just like any other aerobic exercise. The resistance factors associated with paddling also help to strengthen joints, muscles, and bones.
Cycling improves your balance, agility, and posture as well. It is also an ideal physical activity for young children, adults, and people suffering from osteoarthritis because it places little or no adverse stress on the body.
Physical activity is needed to stay fit and healthy. Obesity, heart disease, cancer, mental illness, diabetes, and arthritis are all illnesses that can be prevented with regular physical activity. One of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of health problems associated with a lethargic lifestyle is to ride your bike regularly. Cycling will take you to mountains, valleys, hills, trees, rivers, and lakes, allowing you to see lots of amazing things in the world. Cycling is simple to incorporate into your daily routine. It's safe for kids. It doesn't pollute the environment and is accompanied by lots of excitement.
How Cycling Makes You Feel Healthier
It's amazing how cycling can provide so many health benefits. Since it's a form of exercise, it has been proven that it can be very effective if done regularly. Below are some ways in which cycling can make you feel healthier.
1. Cycling helps in managing weight
Cycling is an aerobic workout that can help you burn calories and lose weight. Cycling increases your heart rate while also lowering your overall body mass.
Riding your bike will help you get rid of excess body fat when combined with a healthy diet. It is a low-impact aerobic exercise that is better on the joints than running and is often recommended for weight loss. It would interest you to know that most people find it easier to stick to a daily workout schedule because of the low-impact nature and slower speed.
2. Cycling is a stress reliever
Cycling has been linked to a better mood according to several studies. People with depression who were taking antidepressants were the subject of one report. Their levels of cortisol, a stress hormone, dropped after just 15 minutes of cycling. After their cycling session, the volunteers in the study indicated that their mood had improved. This demonstrates the value of cycling to us.
One of the things you can do if you are too tired is to engage yourself in cycling. Even a few minutes of physical activity will serve as an important wake-up call.
3. Cycling will help you get a better night's sleep
Daily intense sleep is important for satisfaction and quality of life. According to studies, 20-30 minutes of exercise a day helps people with insomnia fall asleep faster and sleep longer. Exercising outside exposes people to sunlight, which may help them re-establish their circadian rhythm. Cycling regularly can help you synchronize your circadian rhythm and minimize stress hormone levels, which can make getting proper intense sleep difficult.
4. Cycling helps improve your memory
According to studies, a 30-minute bike ride has been shown to enhance memory, thinking, and planning. The time you spend pedaling your bicycle pumps more blood into your body, providing more oxygen and nutrients to your brain and muscles.
Pedaling increases the firing of the nerve cells and the production of proteins that aid in the development of new brain cells. This has the potential to double or triple the output of neurons, which are the building blocks of the brain. The exercise also releases neurotransmitters, allowing all of your cells to interact more effectively, thereby improving brain function.
5. Cycling Improves Coordination, Balance, and Posture
You can strengthen your overall balance, coordination, and posture by stabilizing your body and keeping your bike upright. Balance deteriorates with age and inactivity, so it's important to maintain it.
Improved balance aids in the avoidance of falls and injuries, which can put you on the sidelines as you recover. Just so you know, as you are cycling regularly, you are also improving your body coordination, balance, and posture.
6. Cycling Can Help Cancer patients
If you have cancer or you are recovering from cancer, cycling is an excellent addition to your treatment plan. Cycling may help you stay healthy, which can lower the risk of some cancers, such as breast cancer. Staying active if you have breast cancer, according to studies, will help you minimize the side effects of cancer treatment, such as fatigue, and also increase your overall quality of life.
7. Cycling helps lower the risk of having Cardiovascular Disease
Cycling regularly strengthens and activates the pulse, lungs, and circulation, thereby lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease. These diseases include stroke, high blood pressure, and heart attack. Cycling improves heart muscle strength, decreases resting pulse, and lowers blood fat levels.
Cycling commuters are often exposed to two to three times less noise than car commuters, which means their lung capacity is enhanced.
8. Cycling improves your sex life
Most of us understand that sex is beneficial, but not everyone understands that it also benefits your overall health. In reality, regular sex can help you live longer. Cycling will help you have a better sex life because it develops some very essential muscle groups in your body.
Just to let you know, these muscles are needed for better intercourse. The more these muscles are formed, the better and longer the duration of the intercourse
9. Cycling helps in strengthening your immune system
Cycling has been shown to have significant benefits for the health of the upper respiratory tract, reducing the incidence of the common cold. Cycling on most days of the week will reduce sick days by around 40% while still providing a plethora of other exercise-related health benefits.
10. Cycling Helps in Controlling Diabetes
Poor circulation of blood in the lower body is common in people with Type II diabetes, which can lead to swollen feet. Cycling is a perfect way to improve blood flow from the lower body, which helps to reduce swelling and foot pain. Cycling can help people with diabetes control their blood sugar because it uses up glucose in their muscle cells.

How Cycling Makes You Feel Happier
Cycling is a lot of fun. Nothing beats getting on your bike and going for a ride to raise your spirits. You might be wondering what makes cycling have such an effect on people. The response is very easy. Cycling is a form of exercise. Physical exercise influences the release and uptake of chemicals in your brain that make you feel healthy. Exercise lowers stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol while increasing the production of endorphins (also known as happy hormones) in the body.
Staying healthy also lowers the risk of depression and decreases depressed mood, as well as short- and long-term anxiety feelings. Many people find that going for a bike ride provides them with relief from their daily pressures and anxieties. Cycling requires you to focus on navigating the road and jostling for space while avoiding other road users.
You don't have time to think about the problems or concerns because you need to concentrate on staying healthy while riding. The physical and emotional effort in cycling helps relax and calm the mind and body by the end of the ride.
By engaging yourself in cycling, you tend to be smarter as you continue because everything about you is improving. Research has found that people who engage themselves in cycling tend to be more decisive in their approach to any situation because of their cycling experiences. When you notice that you are getting smarter from the exercise you are into, you tend to derive fun from it because it has become part of your daily routine.
Cycling is a very social sport. Joining a cycling club or community is a great way to expand your social network, and if you're new to biking, you will likely find all the maintenance and fitness and maintenance tips you need there as well. It also allows you to spend more time with your partner. It doesn't matter if your paces aren't exactly in accordance; just take it easy and enjoy each other's company. Every week, several couples go on one or two riding dates. It makes sense because exercise releases happy hormones, so you will feel comfortable with each other after a trip.

Another reason why cycling makes you feel good is the idea that you're protecting the environment by reducing carbon emissions. Now that you have known about the benefits of cycling, it's up to you, to determine if cycling can become a daily part of your happiness routine. If you answered yes, here are some tips to help you get started;
1. Get a bike
If you are going to engage yourself in cycling, you will probably need a bike. And covering everything you need to know about choosing the right bike for you will require at least an entire post. Just keep in mind that you don't need one with a thousand gears and all of the extras. Just make sure it's well-made, suits you properly, and is designed for the type of riding you want to do.

2. Begin with the basics
As with any new fitness program or practice, it's best to take things slowly at first. Also, stay on familiar roads that are close to your house. Soon enough, you will get used to it.
3. Make it a daily or weekly routine
Just like any new fitness program or practice, making cycling a habit can greatly increase your chances of success. Ensure you make an effort to go out every day, and stick to a routine. But don't be too strict. Remember to have a good time because the aim is to enjoy your cycling without any stress.
4. Follow the rules
Cycling should be pleasurable and stress-free, which is difficult to do when you're constantly bombarded by blaring car horns and irate pedestrians. Following the laws of the road is the safest way to stop exhausting riding.
5. Don't ride alone
There's nothing like not knowing what you're doing to take the fun out of riding. Fortunately, there are plenty of cyclists who will gladly assist you in discovering the joys of cycling. Join a local cycling club or form your riding party. Remember that cycling is a social activity, and being social is an important part of happiness, so share the happiness.
Cycling as Part of Daily Life
In both the transportation and health sectors, cycling has played a huge role. Cycling was able to gain popularity in the health sector due to its potential to increase physical activity levels in both children and adults. It would interest you to know that cycling daily does more than make you healthier and happier; it also helps in making you look younger, even if you are getting older.
If you are new to cycling or you haven't cycled in a while, the prospect of incorporating cycling into your daily routine may seem daunting. Cycling more, on the other hand, is quite simple – all you have to do is think ahead and strategize. Spending time in the saddle regularly will help you save money while also keeping you fit.
Here are a few ways to incorporate cycling into your daily routine:
Make plans for cycling
You don't have to cycle every day if it seems too much to you at the early stages. Plan out your week to include as much cycling as you want. You also don't have to ride the entire route. You can cycle as much as you want if you have the time.
Choose a safer route
Just because you drive on major highways doesn't mean you have to cycle on them as well. You will feel much better while leaving in the morning if you can find a safer route for cycling.
Motivate yourself
Don't tell yourself you can't; instead, keep telling yourself you can. When you do, you will feel a lot better that way. Cycling has to do with determination and passion. Since it's very easy to cycle, it shouldn't be an issue for you.
Run errands on your bike
Another way to incorporate cycling into your lifestyle is to run errands on your bike. Get on your bike and ride to your local market or any other place and see the way it will become part of your daily routine.
Discover a new place
You might be wondering if you have to spend thousands of dollars to find peace and adventure. Well, that isn't necessary. When you ride a trail, you will feel completely at ease. Cycling is the best way to discover new areas in the city. It guarantees that you get a first-hand experience without having to worry about finding a parking spot.
Final Thoughts
Cycling is a low-impact, safe, and enjoyable type of exercise for people of all ages. It encourages people to live healthier, happier, and smarter. Cyclists are more likely to be in shape and less likely to be overweight.
Daily cycling will help you build trust, get fit, and achieve your fitness goals, in addition to the physiological and emotional benefits. Cycling will help you forget about your problems, increase social interactions with other cyclists, and give you a sense of control over your life.
Cycling will help you avoid severe illnesses like stroke, heart attack, some cancers, depression, diabetes, obesity, and arthritis. Cycling to the park, school, or work is a simple way to incorporate cycling into your everyday routine.
Just so you know, happiness does not come in an already made form. It stems from your own decisions, and keep in mind that you still can act. So go ahead and start cycling to become healthier and happier.

Finance Minister Jim Flaherty announced this week that new mortgage rules come into effect on March 18th.
The big three changes:
- Reduce the maximum amortization period to 30 years from 35 years for new government-backed insured mortgages with loan-to-value ratios of more than 80 per cent. This will significantly reduce the total interest payments Canadian families make on their mortgages, allow Canadian families to build up equity in their homes more quickly, and help Canadians pay off their mortgages before they retire.
- Lower the maximum amount Canadians can borrow in refinancing their mortgages to 85 per cent from 90 per cent of the value of their homes. This will promote saving through home ownership and limit the repackaging of consumer debt into mortgages guaranteed by taxpayers.
- Withdraw government insurance backing on lines of credit secured by homes, such as home equity lines of credit, or HELOCs. This will ensure that risks associated with consumer debt products used to borrow funds unrelated to house purchases are managed by the financial institutions and not borne by taxpayers.
The new rules will mostly affect new home buyers with lower incomes and less savings. Until now, buyers have had the advantage of 35 year government insured mortgages if they have less than 20% down payment.
When it comes down to the numbers, the difference between a 30 and 35 year amortization period is about $100 a month. But if you're already maxed out, this could be the difference between being approved and not being approved. The government doesn't want taxpayers bailing out people who are over leveraged.
When I'm speaking to first-time buyers, I strongly encourage them not to spend everything they have on the down payment – we all need a contingency fund. A conscientious mortgage broker will go through all the costs of home ownership, including condo fees and a good financial planner can give advice on how much you should have in savings. The government is just ensuring we don't carry more debt than we can afford to.
The new rules are ultimately a good thing – it will be an annoyance to people who wanted to take advantage of low mortgage rates combined with CMHC insurance and a 35 year amortization, but it won't affect those downsizing or buying their next place.
In the past, any time we've seen these new tweaks where there is a trigger date, there is a flood of activity – witness what happened with the land transfer tax and HST.
If you think you might be at risk of not being approved for a mortgage under the new rules or if you do want to refinance or get lines of credit, now's the time to do it!
Thanks to mortgage broker Scott Brown for part of the information!

May God bless all of the fathers on this special day. I have an outstanding miracle to share from a young man from my church who refused to believe that his Dad was dead following a massive heart attack. God is still performing miracles today.
Testimony by TJ
It is Father's Day tomorrow… I can remember the night, it was a Wednesday night getting the call that my dad had passed away… I remember getting in my car and flying down the highway to Colorado Springs and arriving at a hospital with a huge waiting room full of people mourning our families loss and seeing my brothers on the ground crying from the news… I asked where he was . They walked me back to his room where my dad laid after having a massive heart attack behind the wheel of a car. He was declared Dead on arrival… BUT GOD!!! I walked in his room and the nurse said he's on life support which is causing his heart to flutter but there is no way he's alive….BUT GOD, I knew who was the giver of life and I knew how to reach him! As I stood there and touched my dad and began to pray and I left out of the room to be with my mom and brothers… long story short MY DAD IS ALIVE TODAY!
Love your Dads and be grateful to God if they are still with you.

In part two of her two-part story on the effects of oil and gas in the New Mexico Oil Patch, Margaret Wright mentioned the need for additional oil and gas inspectors.
Jim Winchester, the spokesman for the state's Environment Department and the Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Division (EMNRD), emailed Wright about the lack of funding for oil and gas inspectors in the state.
From Margaret's story:
The Environment Department is asking the Legislature for a budget increase this session, he says. OCD is also requesting money to add hire another nine inspectors, "to provide increases in the number of inspections on active wells, plugging wells releases, remediation of spill sites and overall environmental compliance. This response includes all counties in New Mexico."
She went on to note that there are just 14 inspectors for the tens of thousands of drilling facilities in the state.
Fronteras spoke to one of the overworked inspectors, Ron Harvey. Harvey is responsible for 8,000 wells and that he cannot always inspect one each year.
"A lot of the time, to tell you the truth, I don't write them up for well signs because we don't have enough people where we can do follow-up," Harvey said. Not having a well sign is considered a minor violation — one among thousands that OCD's 14 inspectors must manage. When an operator breaks the rules, inspectors can send a letter of violation.
"There are some guys out there that just, you know, you've sent them an LOV and they'll just wad it up and throw it in the trash can," Harvey said. "They don't care."
OCD will be seeking funding for nine more inspector positions in the upcoming legislative session.
One of the recurrent complaints from those in the area is that the money that comes from drilling for oil and gas just doesn't come back to the area and is instead sent to other parts of the state.
The story from Fronteras is part of a four-part series. The other three parts are:
Oil And Gas Regulation In New Mexico Outdated
New Mexico's Oil Regulators Have Limited Enforcement Tools
New Mexico Lawmaker Faces Challenge In Strengthening Oil Regulation

Amidst an explosion of controversy, Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 handsets are back on shelves. As promised, replacement devices went on sale today from Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile.
Sprint subscribers can opt to pay $30.42 per month for 24 months or $349.99 for a two-year contract; an unlocked version of the phone is also available for $849.99. Verizon customers can spend $36 per month for 24 months or lay down the full retail price of $864.
AT&T, meanwhile, texted customers on Tuesday, confirming in-store availability of the new Note 7. The message, a company spokesman said, was sent to every phone number directly and indirectly associated with a Galaxy Note 7, an encouraged customers to visit their local store for a replacement.
T-Mobile will also start selling Note 7s to the masses again soon. But first, the Uncarrier wants to help existing users with a recalled phone. Those folks can bring their unsafe device to stores or call 1-844-275-9309.
Samsung on Tuesday said that "over 500,000 new Galaxy Note7 replacement devices have arrived in the US and have been shipped to carrier and retail stores."
The company has also delievered a software update to carriers that "will display a green battery icon on the status bar [to indicate] that consumers have a new Galaxy Note7 with an unaffected battery."
Recommended by Our Editors
Earlier this month, Samsung issued a global Galaxy Note 7 recall amid reports of exploding batteries. The company later announced a software update that prevents the device from overheating (and erupting) by capping battery recharges at 60 percent.
Note 7 owners can exchange their Note 7 for a new one or a Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge (and get a $25 credit in the process), swap it for a non-Samsung smartphone, or get a full refund. According to SurveyMonkey, 35 percent of adults plan to get the refund, while 26 percent are eyeing Apple's iPhone instead. Another 21 percent said they would switch to a different Samsung phone, leaving 18 percent intending to snag a replacement Note 7.

John Russell may have been the first American to manufacture Barlow knives. The John Russell Company, now the Russell Harrington Cutlery Company of Southbridge, Massachusetts, first made Barlow knives at their Greenfield Massachusetts, factory in 1785. They were called the Russell Barlow knife and instead of the word BARLOW on the bolster, they were stamped with Russell's mark, an R with an arrow through it. Today these Russell Barlows are valuable antiques.
Now several companies make barlow knives, and they are sold on this web page:
Here's some extra information kindly provided by Kenneth Da Silva
Do you know that the small pocket stitched into the right hand pocket of Levi Jeans used to be called the Barlow pocket? This was a pocket actually intended to carry a folding pocket knife ( NOT a plastic butane lighter!). The barlow knife was the knife of choice for outdoor workers, as it was solid and dependable. I first heard about this Barlow pocket back in the late 1960s from a representative of F.G.Gertler, the original British importers of Levi jeans. The jeans were designed to be working trousers for rough farm and range use back in the 19th century, and the addition of this little pocket was useful for workers and riders. They could retrieve the knife without standing or having to dismount. At one point Levis also made artisans jeans for carpenters, builders etc, and these also had an additional long pocket down the lower outside seam of the leg designed to hold a folding wooden rule. The lower leg was used, as most workers rode horses, drove carts or climbed ladders and needed to be able to bend their leg easily. Back in the 60s, levis were so heavy duty and full of starch when new ( they were actually delivered in bales of 12 held by steel straps and cost the equivalent of £3 then) that we used to display them in the shop window standing up on their own, one only had to form the legs into tubes to achieve this! They shrunk enormously when washed, so one had to buy them at least one size larger to allow for this. So there we are, a little more history of the Barlow knife and also of workers clothing of the 19th century period. I still actually carry my Swiss Army Knife in this pocket today.
The use of such titles from the things events and people of everyday life is quite common in traditional music. Titles such as "Langstrom's Pony", "Maggie Brown's Favourite", "Wreck Of The Old Ninety Seven", "Poor Ellen Smith", "Little Rabbit", "Cricket On The Hearth", "Pipe On The Hob" are part of the charm of traditional music and hark to times when false sophistication and cleverness were not the norm in titles, and music and entertainment was mostly created by "real people" for their own, and their neighbours entertainment. Today you are more likely to find bands with names like "Cradle of Filth", you can probable guess the sort of titles they give their numbers - right - not very uplifting.

The electronic power steering control unit was designed to help solve a constant problem that occurred with most traditional power steering systems. Under the normal, belt-driven hydraulic power steering set up, a belt was attached to a series of pulleys (one at the crankshaft and one on the power steering pump). The constant operation of this belt-driven system put a tremendous load on the engine, which resulted in loss of engine horsepower, fuel efficiency and increased vehicle emissions. Since vehicle engine efficiency and reducing emissions became the primary mission for most automotive manufacturers before the turn of the century, they solved a lot of these issues by inventing an electrically assisted power steering motor. This system removed the need for power steering fluid, power steering pumps, belts, and other components that operated this system.
In some instances, if a problem exists with this system, your electronic power steering system will automatically shut down to prevent damage from overheating. This is primarily seen when driving on steep slopes with lots of turns. In these instances, there is nothing wrong with the system and normal operation will resume once the temperature has reduced. However, if there is a problem with the power steering control unit, it may display a few common warning signs that will alert the driver that it may be necessary to replace this component. Some of these symptoms include the EPS indicator light is illuminating on the dashboard, or trouble steering the vehicle.
Part 1 of 1: Replacing the power steering control unit
Materials Needed
- Boxed end wrench or ratchet wrench
- Flashlight
- Penetrating oil (WD-40 or PB Blaster)
- Regular sized flat blade screwdriver
- Replacement power steering control unit
- Safety equipment (safety glasses & gloves)
- Scan tool
- Specialty tools (if required by manufacturer)
Step 1: Disconnect the vehicle's battery. Before removing any parts, locate the vehicle's battery and disconnect the positive and negative battery cables.
This step should always be the first thing you do when you work on any vehicle.
Step 2: Remove the steering column from the steering box. Before you remove the interior dashboard or covers, make sure you can remove the steering column from the steering box first.
This is often the most difficult part of the job, and you should first verify that you have the right tools and experience to complete it before you remove the other components.
To remove the steering column, you'll have to complete the following steps on most domestic and import vehicles:
Remove the engine covers and other components that block access to the steering box. This could include the engine cover, air filter housing, and other parts. Remove any electrical connections to the steering column and steering box.
Locate the steering box and steering column connection. Typically it's connected by a series of bolts (two or more) that have a bolt and nut ending securing them. Remove the bolts securing the two components together.
Place the steering column shaft aside and proceed to the driver's compartment to remove the dashboard and steering wheel.
Step 3: Remove the steering column covers. Each vehicle will have different instructions for removing the steering column covers. Typically there are two bolts on the sides and two on the top or bottom of the steering column that are hidden by plastic covers.
To remove the steering column cover, remove the plastic clips covering the bolts. Then remove the bolts that secure the housing to the steering column. Finally, remove the steering column covers and place them aside.
Step 4: Remove the steering wheel. Most vehicles will require you to remove the air bag center section from the steering wheel before you are able to remove the steering wheel.
Refer to your service manual for these exact steps.
After you've removed the air bag, you can usually remove the steering wheel from the steering column. On most vehicles, the steering wheel is attached to the column by one or five bolts.
Step 5: Remove the dashboard. All vehicles have different steps and requirements for removing the dashboard, so refer to the service manual for exact steps to follow.
Most power steering control units are only accessible when the lower dashboard covers are removed.
Step 6: Remove the bolts attaching the steering column to the vehicle. On most domestic and imports, the steering column is attached to a housing that is secured to the firewall or the vehicle's body.
Step 7: Remove the electrical harness from the power steering control unit. There are usually two electrical harnesses that are attached to the steering control unit.
Remove these harnesses and mark their locations with a piece of tape and a pen or a colored marker.
Step 8: Remove the steering column from the vehicle. Once you've removed the steering column, you'll be able to replace the power steering control unit on a work bench or other area away from the vehicle.
Step 9: Replace the power steering control unit. Using the instructions provided to you by the manufacturer in the service manual, remove the old power steering control unit from the steering column and install the new system.
Usually they are secured to the steering column with two bolts and can only be installed one way.
Step 10: Reinstall the steering column. After the new power steering control unit has been installed successfully, the rest of the project is simply putting things back together in the reverse order of removal.
Install the steering column from the driver's compartment. Secure the steering column to the firewall or housing. Attach the electrical harnesses to the power steering control unit. Reinstall the dashboard and steering wheel.
Reinstall the air bag and reattach the electrical connections to the steering wheel. Reinstall the steering column covers and reattach them to the steering box.
Reattach all the electrical connections to the steering box and steering column inside the engine compartment. Reinstall any engine covers or components you had to remove in order to gain access to the steering box.
Step 12: Test start and drive the car. Reconnect the battery and clear all error codes in the ECU with a scan tool; they need to be reset in order for the system to relay information to the ECM and work correctly.
Start the vehicle and turn the steering wheel to the left and right to verify that the steering works correctly.
Once you've completed this simple test, take the vehicle on a 10 to 15 minute road test to ensure the steering system works correctly on different road conditions.

Ephod (1)
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
(1) A sacred vestment originally designed for the high priest (Exodus 28:4; Exodus 39:2 ), and made "of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen," held together by two shoulder-pieces and a skillfully woven band which served as a girdle for the ephod. On the shoulderpieces were two onyx stones on which were engraved the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. It is not known whether the ephod extended below the hips or only to the waist. Attached to the ephod by chains of pure gold was a breastplate containing twelve precious stones in four rows. Underneath the ephod was the blue robe of the ephod extending to the feet of the priest. The robe of the ephod was thus a garment comprising, in addition to the long robe proper, the ephod with its shoulderpieces and the breastplate of judgment.
(2) From the historical books we learn that ephods were worn by persons other than the high priest. Thus, the boy Samuel was girded with a linen ephod while assisting the aged high priest (1 Samuel 2:18 ); the priests at Nob, 85 in number, are described as men wearing a linen ephod (1 Samuel 22:18 ); and David was girded with a linen ephod when he danced in the procession that brought the ark into Jerusalem (2 Samuel 6:14 ). The ephod was considered appropriate for the king on this solemn and happy occasion; but it would be reading into the narrative more than it contains to infer that lay worshippers were regularly clothed with the ephod; nor are we to suppose that priests other than the high priest were accustomed to wear ephods as rich and elaborate as that of the high priest. Abiathar, who became high priest after the assassination of his father by Doeg, probably brought to the camp of David the ephod worn by the high priest in his ministrations at Nob (1 Samuel 23:6 ), and through this ephod David sought in certain crises to learn Yahweh's will (1 Samuel 23:9; 1 Samuel 30:7 ). Some have argued that the ephod, which Abiathar brought in his hand, was an image rather than a priestly garment, but there seems no sufficient reason for regarding it as other than a vestment for the high priest. The ephod behind which the sword of Goliath was kept wrapped in a cloth may well have been a garment suspended from the wall or itself wrapped in a protecting cloth (1 Samuel 21:9 ).
(3) The ephod mentioned in Judges 17:5; Judges 18:14 f; Hosea 3:4 is associated with teraphim and other idolatrous images. We may frankly confess that we do not know the shape, size and use of the ephod in these cases, though even here also the ephod may well have been a priestly garment. The same remark holds good of the ephod made by Gideon, and which became an object of idolatrous worship in Israel ( Judges 8:27 ). It has been argued that a vestment would not cost seventeen hundred shekels of gold. Possibly Gideon set up an apparatus of worship containing other articles just as the mother of Micah began with the promise to make a graven image and a molten image, and afterward added an ephod and teraphim (Judges 17:1-5 ). Moreover, if gems and brilliants were put on Gidcon's ephod, who can say that it did not cost seventeen hundred shekels?

text: Bush Admin getting us ready for the next terrorist attack before the election. White House officials say they've got a "working premise" about terrorism and the presidential election: It's going to happen. "We assume," says a top administration official, "an attack will happen leading up to the election." And, he added, "it will happen here." http://www.usnews.com/usnews/issue/040524/whispers/24whisplead.htm More âWashington whispersâ about possible pre-election terrorist attack By Joseph Kay 25 May 2004 Two more pieces published in the press in recent days point to a continuing discussion within the political elite in the US about the electoral consequences of a pre-election terrorist attack. Top officials and analysts speak as if an attack were probable if not certain, and indicate the major concern in Washington is how such an attack would affect the outcome of the elections. In the âWashington Whispersâ section of this weekâs US News & World Report, columnist Paul Bedard reports: âWhite House officials say theyâve got a âworking premiseâ about terrorism and the presidential election: Itâs going to happen.â Bedard quotes a top administration official as asserting, âWe assume an attack will happen leading up to the election,â and that it will happen in Washington, D.C. Bedard continues by noting, âUnclear is the political impact, though most Bushies think the nation would rally around the president.â He quotes another official who has been involved in recent terrorism response drills: âI can tell you one thing, we wonât be like Spain.â Earlier this year, Spainâs conservative government was ousted by voters after the deadly train bombings in Madrid on the eve of a national election. The US government has been carrying out terrorism response drills involving the first tests of the revised âcontinuity of governmentâ plans developed by the administration after the September 11 attacks. In a piece published May 20 entitled âBeware of any stretch-run surprises,â Wall Street Journal columnist Albert Hunt writes that the November elections could hinge on âunanticipated events.â First on the list of such events is a terrorist attack. Hunt notes: âThe Bush administration and outside terrorist experts repeatedly have cautioned that another attack on the homeland is likely. The White House, politically, has it both ways: taking credit for avoiding any assault since 9/11, while at the same time warning that another is likely.â There is a more sinister subtext to Huntâs column in the suggestion that the Bush administration would like to âhave it both waysâ in another manner: it would like to benefit politically by presenting itself as the strongest force against terrorism, while preparing to politically exploit any future terrorist attack. He quotes Charles Blackâa Republican strategist and close confidante of President George W. Bushâas stating that âmy instinct is there likely will be a rally around [the incumbent] effectâ in the event of another attack. As the World Socialist Web Site has previously warned (See: âWashington weighs terrorâs impact on presidential voteâ), the widespread talk in Washington about a possible terrorist attack and its political consequences should be taken as a serious threat to the American people. There is an obvious question raised by these discussions: Are top officials in the Bush administration planning to allow such an attack in order to reap political advantage? Anyone who would dismiss this possibility as an outlandish conspiracy theory underestimates both the depth of the administrationâs crisis and the criminality of those who set its policy. This is a government that came to office by means of theft and intimidation, gaining power only through the intervention of the Supreme Court on an explicitly anti-democratic basis. As the WSWS noted at the time: âThe very methods employed by the Bush campaign and its allies on the Supreme Court...reveal the nature of the policies the new administration intends to carry out. Bush speaks for the most ruthless and avaricious sections of the ruling classâthose who demand the removal of all legal, political and moral limitations on the exploitation of the working class, the realization of profit and the accumulation of personal wealthâ (âSupreme Court overrides US voters: a ruling that will live in infamyâ). Since coming to power, the administration has turned to unbridled militarism for the purpose of advancing the interests of the American ruling elite on a world scale. It has declared its complete contempt for international law and constitutional rights, launching an illegal war of aggression against a largely defenseless country. Since the war in Iraq began nearly a year ago, the government has waged a brutal occupation, the true nature of which is being exposed before the world with the seemingly unending stream of photographs showing US troops torturing Iraqi civilians. The administration has invoked the attacks of September 11, 2001, to justify every one of its reactionary policies: massive tax handouts to the richest section of the population, the attack on basic democratic rights, and the wars of plunder in Afghanistan and Iraq. The government lied to the American people about its reasons for going to war, and it lied to the American people about what it knew before September 11 about the threat of a terrorist attack. The ongoing investigation by the September 11 commission has uncovered more evidence of foreknowledge by individuals within the Bush administration and the US intelligence agencies. This evidence includes an August 2001 Presidential Daily Briefing warning about planes being used as weapons and Al Qaedaâs surveillance of federal buildings in Manhattan. The commission, however, has failed to ask the obvious question: Given that the administration had this information and given that the attacks have been critical in advancing the policy of the most reactionary sections of the American ruling class, were they in fact allowed or engineered by high-level officials to create a pretext for a preconceived domestic and foreign policy agenda? What worked once may work again. This is a government composed of indictable war criminals who would think nothing of sacrificing the lives of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people in pursuit of its agenda. Indeed, such sacrifices have already been made and will be made again. It is also an administration that confronts an intractable crisis. The revelations of torture of Iraqi prisoners have been met with worldwide revulsion. The administrationâs Iraq policy is in shambles as the US occupation confronts the opposition of the vast majority of the Iraqi people. Support within the United States for the Bush administration is at an all-time low, even according to opinion polls that generally overestimate Bushâs popularity. On the economic front, the government faces the prospect of rising inflation spurred by escalating gasoline prices over the coming months. There is nothing more dangerous for the ruling elite than a political debacle combined with an economic crisis. And there is nothing more dangerous for the American people than a ruling class in panic. A string of recent elections around the world has revealed the deepening hostility of ordinary people to the policies of war and social reaction. It began with Spain, but was mirrored in elections in South Koreaâwhere voters threw out the party that attempted to impeach a popular and more anti-American presidentâand then in India, where the right-wing Hindu-chauvinist BJP government was dealt a surprise defeat last week. The social divisions reflected in these developments find their expression in the United States as well. As in Spain, South Korea and India, popular hostility to the government has yet to find any truly independent political articulation, while the deepening crisis of US policy in Iraq has generated enormous divisions within the American ruling class. How will the Bush administration and the section of the ruling class that it representsâthe most criminal and ruthless sectionârespond? A terrorist attackâengineered or allowed by the governmentâcan by no means be ruled out. The quoted Washington officialâs statement warning that the US âwonât be like Spainâ can be interpreted in two ways. Either the Bush administration is determined to manipulate a terror attack to benefit the Republican Party in the elections, or it may use such an attack to call off the elections altogether. http://www.wsws.org/articles/2004/may2004/terr-m25.shtml Reasons for 2004 GWB Landslide Win http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=26398 Plan is working out well....any questions?

So the drought continues and the rivers are just getting more unfishable each day.
With new clients heading this way on Wednesday I am faced with having to make a decision on what system to fish.
I went for a quick overnight 40km- 50km paddle (It hurt) to pre-fish some tidal water and managed 28 fish.
It was a big paddle but I shouldn't complain when you get to camp in spots like this…
You would think that my problem is solved and just take the boys there. However, the problem is the biggest Bass was only 44cm. Now I get that a 44cm Bass is awesome but that should be the average size of a fish on our trips.
So do we drag and haul ourselves down a dried up river bed looking for 5 fish or fish the lower river and take the numbers.
What would you do?

Local studio Michael Hsu Office of Architecture has completed a house clad in limestone bricks and hemlock siding overlooking a nature preserve in Austin.
The 3,447-square foot (320-square metre) house – known as the Greenbelt Residence – is located in the Bouldin Creek neighbourhood, set on a cliff that overlooks a protected greenbelt. The cantilevered house looks out on a 20-acre sanctuary with spring-fed swimming holes, limestone rock climbing, hiking paths and biking trails.
"The Greenbelt Residence is perched on a cliff above the treeline and seamlessly marries nature and architecture," said Michael Hsu, principal of his eponymous studio.
"Its cantilevered design, local limestone, and abundant windows create a calming environment that balances privacy with a strong connection to the breathtaking surroundings."
The 10,212-square foot (950-square metre) site has naturally occurring privacy with the preserved tree canopy, and the home's layout "celebrates the serene surroundings with a strong indoor and outdoor relationship," the team told Dezeen.
The ground floor is wrapped in smooth hemlock vertical boards, while the top level is clad in locally sourced, custom Leuders limestone brick.
The bricks were fabricated specifically for this home and curve gently on the corners of the upper storey. Along the front of the house, the limestone bricks separate to create a screen that brings light to the top level.
A faceted soffit forms a walkway to the entry of the linear home. A garage and ensuite bedroom hold one end of the house, while an open-plan kitchen and family room hold the other.
White cabinets, marble counters and backsplash compliment the grey and white terrazzo floors.
Streamlined, black metal hardware and thin wooden window frames juxtapose the stonework.
A hemlock-covered stairway leads up to the second level, which is rotated 90 degrees.
The landing turns leads a lounge space that divides the primary suite from a secondary bedroom. Large windows open the interiors to the outdoors in every room.
The light quality of the interior space was carefully considered to be balanced, no matter the time of day," the studio said.
"Multiple points of natural light enter through different directions in every room to reduce harsh contrasts of light and shadow, the effects creating a sense of calm."
A sliding glass door in the centre of the plan opens to a 700-square foot (65-square metre) covered patio held up by thin columns. A large side yard serves as an outdoor living room, and the pool's infinity edge drops off with the site's elevation change.
This residence is simple and restrained and allows the natural landscape to connect with the building while offering unexpected details and experiences.
Recently, Michael Hsu Office of Architecture completed the design for its own studio and the interiors of a residential skyscraper with a circular swimming pool, both in Austin.
The photography is by Chase Daniel.

Mrs H complained about the standard of care afforded to her late husband, X, by the Health Board's Mental Health Services and his GP practice, before his death in January 2013 (when he took his own life). X's clinical history included a number of incidents – he had self harmed, abused both alcohol and drugs and taken overdoses.
In 2012, X continued to be treated by the GP Practice with increasing regularity, being prescribed a number of different medications to treat anxiety/mood disorders and/or depression. These included drugs known as benzodiazepines (known to be potentially addictive). X took an overdose of anti-depressants in January 2013, two weeks before his death, but was discharged from hospital and remained on a waiting list for counselling (which he had been on for some time). However, before he could be seen, X took his own life. Mrs H also complained that she had subsequently received a letter addressed to X inviting him for a counselling appointment at the Practice, which compounded her distress. An inquest touching upon X's death returned a verdict of suicide but noted "That there was a failure by those treating him to identify his suicidal intent."
Following advice from the Ombudsman's clinical advisers, the complaint was mostly upheld. Whilst the Ombudsman could not conclude with any certainty that the outcome would have been different, were it not for the failings found during the investigation, failures on the part of both the Health Board and the Practice, included the following:
• Lost opportunities on the part of the Health Board to properly evaluate X's mental health following earlier serious incidents and to comprehensively assess him when he was seen.
• A failure on the part of the Health Board to discuss X's discharge after an overdose two weeks before his death, and a failure to provide discharge information to the Practice in a timely way.
• Numerous errors in the Health Board's own investigation, following X's death, which indicated a lack of proper care and attention.
• A failure on the part of the Practice to refer to secondary care and/or a failure to properly assess X's suicide risk.
• The Practice's continued prescribing of benzodiazepines was contrary to national guidance.
The Ombudsman recommended that both the Health Board and the Practice apologise to Mrs H, and offer her redress of £1500 each, for the failures identified, her distress, and her time in pursuing the complaint.
Further recommendations included the provision of evidence by the Health Board of its audit of discharge communication with GPs, its reminder to staff conducting investigations of serious incidents and reminders about comprehensive risk assessments. In relation to the Practice, further recommendations were made about continued auditing and monitoring of its benzodiazepine prescribing and that it should produce a Practice Prescribing Policy. Both the Health Board and the Practice accepted the Ombudsman's recommendations in full.
A full copy of the report is available below.

Educators Legal Liability Insurance
Colleges, universities, boards of education and all other institutions of education are big organizations that are held responsible for the care of a large number of students. These institutions also employ a large staff. Since there are so any individuals involved in the process of education, institutions of learning face a variety of risks on a constant basis that other types of organizations aren't faced with as frequently. insurance company that refused to pay on a claim due to some oversight by the policyholder. To protect insurers against fraud insurance companies pay hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to investigators, appraisers, and claims adjusters. These employees man the front lines against fraudulent claims and unscrupulous policyholders, which saves the consumer money in insurance costs in the long term.
These institutions can be held liable for various legal claims that general liability insurance won't cover. As such, educational institutions need a specific type of insurance policy that is customized to meet their unique needs. Educators legal liability insurance (ELL) provides institutions of learning with coverage against a wide range of possible legal claims.
What Is Educators Legal Liability Insurance?
Educators' Legal Liability Coverage was developed to respond to loss from wrongful acts related to educational (rather than general) activities of a school, school board, school district, college, or university. It is a necessary part of any insurance or risk management protection for any school or educational institution. Protection is required for the actions of officers, directors, staff, faculty, employees, volunteers, and student or substitute teachers.
Educators legal liability insurance is a specialty form of insurance coverage that protects educational institutions against the damages that they could incur as a result of real or alleged wrongful acts. The types of claims that this form of insurance covers is broad and includes:
- Denial of tenure
- Acts of discrimination
- Practices related to employment
- Acts of retaliation
- Professional errors and omissions made by educators
- Failure to educate as promised
- Libel and slander
- Wrongful termination
- Breach of contract
Who Does Educators Legal Liability Insurance Protect?
Those who are covered under educators legal liability insurance will differ from provider to provider. Therefore, it is important to check your policy to ensure who is covered. The following are individuals who you would want your ELL policy to protect:
- Members of boards, committees, councils, and commissions.
- All educators, including teachers, teacher assistants, substitute teachers, and even student teachers.
- Volunteers who are working on behalf of the institution.
- Any officials, directors, trustees and superintendents that have been elected or appointed to work on behalf of the institution.
- Students who are complying with the codes of conduct that have been set forth by the organization.
What Type Of Benefits Does ELL Insurance Offer?
Again, benefits offered by educators legal liability insurance will differ from provider to provider. However, most policies will provide the following benefits:
- The day-to-day operations of the educational institution.
- Punitive and exemplary damages.
- Front and back pay.
- Claims that are associated with Individual Education Plans (IEPs) for special needs students.
- Claims related to breach of fiduciary duty.
- Claims related to breach of contract.
Since the benefits offered by this type of insurance do vary from one provider to another, it is important to make sure that the policy you choose provides the specific coverage necessary to insure your institution. Should you need additional coverage, you do have the option to purchase more benefits.
Are there Any Exclusions?
All insurance policies have some exclusions and an educators legal liability insurance policy is no different. The types of losses that this policy will not cover will typically include:
- Any acts that are deliberate.
- Acts that were committed fraudulently.
- Crimes.
- Acts that are a violation of certain types of Federal Acts.
Of course, check with your insurance provider to find out exactly what your policy won't cover to ensure have a full understanding of how you are protected.
How Much does Educators Legal Liability Insurance Cost?
The costs associated with an ELL policy will vary from insurance provider to insurance provider. They will also vary depending on the specifics of your institution and whether or not you need additional benefits that are not offered under a basic ELL policy.
Generally, the premiums that an insurance company will charge for a policy are based on the amount of students (both full and part-time) that attend the school, in addition to the number of people who are on staff.
Understanding The Educators Legal Liability Policy
Educators' Legal Liability (ELL) Coverage was developed to handle loss resulting from "wrongful acts" arising from the operation of a school, school board, school district, college, or university. It is a necessary part of any insurance or risk management protection for any school or educational institution. Protection is required for the actions of officers, directors, staff, faculty, employees, volunteers, and student or substitute teachers.
ELL Insurance is not standard among insurers. Each carrier develops features according to its preferred market. Wide variations can be found in the Insuring Agreements, Exclusions, Conditions, and Defense provided among different policies so it is very difficult to make coverage comparisons in this market.
What Is Covered
An ELL Policy typically protects against damages from actual or alleged "wrongful acts" such as: negligence, errors or omissions, misstatements, or breach of duty involving an educational facility's directors, officers, trustees, faculty, employees, student teachers, and committees while acting in the scope of their duties. Unless otherwise excluded or limited, this includes, but is not limited to such acts as discrimination, failure to educate, libel, slander, wrongful termination, denial of tenure, and breach of contract.
Coverage is on a claims-made basis, requiring that a claim be first made against the insured and reported to the insurer during the policy period. All claims are subject to a specified Self-Insured Retention or deductible, with a stated limit per claim and an annual aggregate limit.
Watch carefully for the difference in contracts relating to defense. Some of the key items to consider are:
- Unlimited Defense Expenses
- Separate Defense Expense Limit
- Basis of Payment
- Defense Handling Option
- Settlement Consent
- Appeals
Defense Options may have a substantial financial impact.
What Is Usually Excluded
ELL coverages are nonstandard. There are key differences between forms which must be carefully evaluated. Exclusions must be very carefully examined to determine what types of the occurrences will and will not be covered by the insurance program under review. Here are some typical exclusions that should be examined and compared among programs:
- Claims that occurred prior to the Retroactive Date or the "Date of First Coverage"
- Claims not made during the "policy period"
- Claims outside the policy territory
- Claims for "bodily injury," "property damage," or employee benefits injury"
- Claims for "personal injury" or "advertising injury"
- Claims arising out of any intentional, dishonest, malicious, fraudulent or criminal act, error or omission, including any assault, battery, homicide, or rape
- Negligent employment, investigation, supervision, reporting to proper authorities, or retention of a person for whom the insured is or ever was legally responsible whose conduct was otherwise excluded from the policy
- Lack of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
- Any wrongful act with respect to the administration of an employee benefit plan
- Professional Liability for any professional service other than education, teaching and the counseling needed for and related to these services
- Contractual Liability
- Those coverages required by Workers Compensation and similar laws
- Disputes between insureds, entities, or any covered individuals
- Collective bargaining processes, issues, or strikes
- Pollution of any type and in any form
- Civil or criminal fines or penalties levied by any federal, state or local governmental regulatory agency or court
- Insolvency or bankruptcy of a covered insured or covered entity
- Any type of nuclear exposure
- Any broadcasting or publishing exposure, such as libel or slander
- "Wrongful acts," injury, or damage resulting from or arising from campus police or security
Optional Coverages – Endorsements
Some of the Exclusions mentioned may be bought back by endorsement and payment of additional premiums:
- Abuse or Molestation Coverage-For claims related to the alleged, actual or threatened sexual abuse or molestation of any person in the care, custody or control of an insured.
- Active Shooter Liability Coverage- For claims related to injury and added expenses arising from claims involving the insured premises or grounds having been breached by a person using firearms with the intent to kill and injure persons on or at the educational facility.
- Broadcasters' Liability Coverage-For educational facilities that have radio and/or television stations.

Today I'm going to do some furnace troubleshooting as the second part of my HVAC Basic Series. So if you're stuck with a furnace not working, this is the post for you! If you're also looking for tons of info about basic furnace maintenance, then you should check out my first post .
Thanks to Trane Residential for sponsoring this post! Trane is a world leader in providing reliable air conditioning and home comfort solutions, and their website has a bunch of great resources that you should check out as well, even if you don't have a Trane system.
As a quick note: If your HVAC system is under warranty, be sure to follow any requirements to keep it in place.
I'm going to walk you through the stages of a gas forced air furnace and talk through some common problems and solutions. These are meant to be simple fixes you can do as a homeowner, with a basic process you can follow that isn't too exhaustive to all the issues that could be going on with your furnace. If you're still stuck after running through this list then it's probably time to call a professional. You can use the Trane Comfort Specialist Locator page to find a technician who is on call for emergencies.
HVAC Basics: Furnace Troubleshooting Steps
- Thermostat Calls for Heat
- Inducer Motor Turns On
- Gas Ignites in Furnace
- Furnace Blows Hot Air Into Ducts
Step One: Thermostat Calls for Heat
The heating cycle all starts with the thermostat calling for heat. This can happen when you turn the system to HEAT and the ambient temp is lower than the heat setting or when the temperature drops one degree below the heat setting during normal operation.
What Should Happen: Your thermostat should call for heat and a series of things start happening at your furnace. If you don't hear a small motor kick in (this is the draft inducer motor) or if you just don't hear anything you know there's a problem at this point.
Common Problems:
- Furnace is not receiving power
- Thermostat is not sending the signal to the furnace
Common Solutions:
- Make sure that your furnace has power by checking your circuit breaker and any power shut off switches at the unit.
- Check to make sure the thermostat is set to HEAT and is at least one degree cooler than the ambient temp (go to 5 degrees cooler to be safe for the check). If your thermostat isn't hard wired, you should swap the batteries and try again. And lastly you can remove the thermostat front cover and put it back on to make sure the connections are seated properly.
Step Two: Draft Inducer Motor Turns On
If you've eliminated the thermostat and power issues from the equation, then you can move on to the draft inducer motor. This is the motor that pulls air and gas into the combustion chamber and pushes the combustion exhaust gases from the house. Here's what the draft inducer motor on my unit looks like.
What Should Happen: The draft inducer motor should start to spin moving fresh air into the combustion chamber and exhausting air outside through a vent pipe.
Common Problems:
- Draft inducer motor is not working at all. You could hear a click and then nothing else happens.
- Motor starts spinning then turns off with nothing else happening. This could be a blocked or bad pressure switch.
- A spinning then stopping motor could also be a blocked exhaust pipe.
At this point we're getting into multiple issues that could be the problem, so finding a solution gets a little trickier. But one feature that most furnaces have is a LED status and error code light. I showed you the motherboard when we cleaned the system during maintenance. The LED is usually on this motherboard and there is a small window that looks into it on my unit.
When everything is okay this light should be solid red as it is here. But there is a handy list of all the codes on the outside of the same panel. Your first place to look to narrow down the issue should be here. Then you can cross reference it with the error codes.
For example, if I get a code of 23 (2 short flashes followed by 3 long flashes) then it means the unit's pressure switch didn't open. Your furnace will likely be different, but it should be able to point you in the right direction.
Common Solutions:
- If the motor doesn't come on at all then you could need a new motor. Probably time to call in a professional.
- If the motor comes on then goes off, check to see if you have a blocked or clogged combustion exhaust pipe.
- Another possible issue is a blocked or faulty pressure switch, it's the brown circle with the black tubing going into it here. This is a less likely issue and I'd check the items in step 3 before messing with this and inspecting the tubing.
Step Three: Natural Gas Is Ignited
If your draft inducer motor is spinning properly and the combustion exhaust is free of blockages, then you should have gas delivered into the combustion chamber for ignition. There are a few things that can go wrong in this situation, but both are fairly easy fixes on most units. The issues and troubleshooting will be different depending on if you have a furnace with a pilot light or one with a hot surface ignitor.
What Should Happen: The gas flows into the combustion chamber and is ignited by either the pilot light or the hot surface ignitor.
Furnaces with Pilot Lights
Furnaces with a pilot light have a small natural gas flame that is always lit and burning during heating season. It is similar to the pilot light in most gas water heaters.
Common Problems:
- The pilot light is not lit, the flame sensor will detect this and not allow the gas to be released into the combustion chamber.
- Pilot light is lit and the gas is not flowing.
Common Solutions:
- If the pilot light is out it will need to be lit. Follow your furnace owner's manual for specific instructions on how to do this. If you can't get the pilot light lit then check that the gas valve to the furnace is on and check other gas fueled appliances to see if gas is being delivered to them.
- Make sure pilot light switch is set to "ON" not "Pilot".
- If the pilot light is lit and in the ON position you may have a dirty or bad flame sensor. This is a fairly easy fix and is something I've done in the past. The flame sensors are usually held in place by a single screw and attached to a wire that can be removed for cleaning (with fine grit sandpaper) or replacement. Make sure you turn the power off to the unit before trying to remove the flame sensor.
Furnace's with Hot Surface Ignitors
Most newer furnaces will have a hot surface ignitor (or HSI) and this is what my furnace has. There is no steady gas flame, but a heating element glows red hot until it ignites the natural gas.
Common Problems:
- HSI doesn't energize (never changes color)
- HSI lights the gas and then moments later the gas shuts off. This could be a faulty or dirty flame sensor. In a HSI style furnace the flame sensors sense the heat from the ignited natural gas and it doesn't, the furnace will shut off the gas flow.
Common Solutions:
- If the HSI is not energizing it may need to be replaced. Replacement will differ on each furnace but the main unit can be replaced easily with just one screw and a snap-on electrical connection. My HSI is very easy to locate and replace.
- If the flame sensor is bad or dirty it can be cleaned or replaced similar to a pilot light unit. In my furnace the flame sensor is on the opposite side of the burners directly in the flames when the burners are lit.
Step Four: Furnace Blows Hot Air Into Ducts
What Should Happen: The flames from the burners lit in step 3 heat up a heat exchanger inside the furnace. Then the Whole House motor starts circulating air through the furnace pulling it in through the return vents and over the heat exchanger which warms the air. The warm air is sent out through the heating vents to warm the house.
Common Problems:
- No air coming out of vents
- Warm air coming out of vents then stops
Common Solutions:
- Confirm that the blower motor is working. You can do this by switching your thermostat to FAN mode to ON. If the blower motor doesn't turn on you may need a replacement and should call a professional.
- When the motor is running but no air is coming out you could have a blockage or disconnect in your ducting or registers. You should inspect your duct lines if they are visible and look for disconnects.
- If your furnace comes on then goes off it's likely due to overheating. Overheating causes the unit to shut down to protect itself. The most common reason is clogged filters on the furnace. Changing your filters on a regular basis is one of the most important things you can do.
I hope this troubleshooting guide has helped you get your system back up and running. If you still can't figure things out remember you can use the Trane Comfort Specialist Locator page to find a trained technician who is on call for emergencies.
And of course, if you are looking for a new system make sure to give Trane a look and see how they can meet your needs. They have a range of options and pricing to fit your needs – from the most efficient XC95M to the best value XB90 designed for the coldest climates. Trane's very in-depth website will walk you through new systems along with a pricing guide and available tax credits for your new upgrade.

Americana Highways brings you this song premiere of Brad Byrd's "Vampires" from his upcoming release Phases. Phases is Brad Byrd on acoustic guitar and vocals, John Kimbrough on electric guitar, Jonathan Ahrens on synthesizer and Matt Pendergast on synthesizer, Wurlitzer and omnichord, with Aaron Sterling on drums and percussion and Jonathan Ahrens on bass.
With an intro that's ominous with its shuffly beat, "Vampires" is a song about those times in the past when things didn't seem quite right. Brad Byrd has a powerful joyous singing voice in the high registers, and this song captures just exactly the spirit of the poor judgement of youth. Phases is a tonal thriller from the lyrics to its textured synthesizer and all throughout its winding rhythms.
"Vampires" is a song about attracting and being attracted to the wrong people in your life. I wrote it during a dark time in my life, around 2002, when my major influence was drugs and alcohol. I was basically homeless, crashing on couches in LA for three years, and generally just surrounding myself with evil people. I kept playing at The Hotel Cafe and searching for that major label record deal that never happened…it's a good thing though! If I kept it up, I wouldn't be here to release the song on Phases. –Brad Byrd

About the speaker: Daniel earned his PhD in evolutionary genetics from Edinburgh University in 2006 under the supervision of Dr Peter Keightley. His graduate research used computational methods to study variation in the mutation rate and natural selection in noncoding DNA . From 2006 to 2008 he pursued a postdoc with Dr Jacek Majewski in McGill University and Genome Quebec Genome Centre, where he worked on the evolution of transcriptional regulation in primates, and the role of alternative splicing in embryonic development. From 2008 until 2011 he worked on population genetic variation in gene expression and regulation with Dr Jonathan Pritchard at the University of Chicago.
In July 2011 Daniel started as a Career Development Fellowship Group Leader at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. The long-term goal of the group is to understand how changes in gene regulation play a role in disease susceptibility and human evolution. His research combines statistical genetics and comparative genomics with high-throughput experimental techniques, such as ChIP-seq and DNaseI-seq, in human cells to address these questions. The group uses naturally occurring human genetic variation as a model system to test hypotheses about gene regulation. The team is also interested in developing evolutionary models of gene regulation to understand how changes at the molecular level drive gene expression divergence between species.

Restoran Lan Je Puchong
Kedai Makanan Lan Je is famous for their steamed talapia fish, they have branches all over Klang valley, like Balakong, Bandar Puteri Puchong, Shah Alam's Kota Kemuning, Kota Damansara, Desa Aman Puri, Subang USJ 1 and even one stall in Sungei Wang's Level 3 "Big Food Street" food court, their head quarter restaurant is in Rawang, and to date the latest branch is in Kepong, somewhere behind Kepong Carrefour.
obligatory vegetable
steamed fish, RM17.50
Their fish comes in only one cooking style, that is steamed with fermented bean paste, garlic and ginger tinged soy sauce topped with some coriander, but customers can opt to have it mild, spicy or extra spicy. The level of spiciness determine the amount of cili padi which will mount on top of the fish. I like the extra spicy steamed fish which is topped with lots of minced cili padi.
Overall, i really like food here, satisfying meal for 2 under RM50

Remove HTTP is a plugin that automatically scans and removes both
https:protocols from all links. This helps resolve websites that are having "mixed content warnings" which is when the website has assets (images, JavaScript, and CSS) loading both HTTP and HTTPS.
No changes to the links are made in the database. Simply install and activate the plugin and the changes will be immediate. Links that have
http:// or
https:// will only have
//, making them protocol relative URLs. Below is a before and after example.
<link rel='stylesheet' href='https://example.com/style.css' type='text/css' />

Example

<link rel='stylesheet' href='//example.com/style.css' type='text/css' />

Example

Switch to Relative URLs
There is an option (under the General settings) to change internal links to relative URLs.

Preguntas frecuentes
- What is mixed content?
According to Google:
Mixed content occurs when initial HTML is loaded over a secure HTTPS connection, but other resources (such as images, videos, stylesheets, scripts) are loaded over an insecure HTTP connection. This is called mixed content because both HTTP and HTTPS content are being loaded to display the same page, and the initial request was secure over HTTPS. Modern browsers display warnings about this type of content to indicate to the user that this page contains insecure resources.
- How can I make my website fully SSL (on https://)?
You can actually remove the dependency of this plugin by following these step-by-step instructions below:
It's slightly technical because you'll need to connect to your website's host file through an FTP (such as FileZilla). After that, all of your links will be pointing towards your new HTTPS protocol.
