Who is in NEW YORK on Sunday, 9th?
Our wonderful new short film, DEFINING FAY is screening at the amazing new PHILIP K. DICK SCI-FI FILM FESTIVAL!
we're absolutely delighted to announce
DEFINING FAY's FIRST FESTIVAL
And what a perfect place for Fay to greet the world -
a festival, honouring Philip K. Dick, the legend of sci-fi.
The CRU with the DCP on it and DEFINING FAY behind it all!
Roll on Tuesday and Fay's first official screening!
for the first official DEFINING FAY SCREENING.
Any ideas, folks? We need it good and cheap, can't do only one and not the other. It's too good a film to show it on a rubbish screen and too low budget for us to be hiring BAFTA or Odeon. :-) Any suggestions appreciated muchly! Happy Friday, all!
Very clever. It makes you think, then makes you think again! Fantastic sound/music and great CGI. An excellent short film! Love the shot of the boat on the lake. Brilliant job. - Chanttal F.
It's beautiful! Tender, spooky, atmospheric, subversive. Every shot is so lush; the story so engaging. Congratulations, hope to see it on screens all over the world! - Annette V.
Wow! I loved it, and didn't guess the end. I really loved the tracking camera between the 3 of them - great work. … I intend to watch it again tomorrow. Here's to weird dreams tonight! - Tim A.
LOOOOOVED it, good script and solid acting. Now I want the next episode. And the back story. And when are the villains going to be stopped? - Sophie T.
It is a 'terrifying' great film… DEFINING FAY scores at ease 500 km on my personal movie index which indicates the distance I would travel to see a film in 'a cinema near me'. But of course I hope this film will travel further, around the world and around and around…and back. - Coen V. V.
One of the best shorts I've seen in a long time. Production value was great. Well directed and shot. Good acting. Nice work! The story was good. I love the open - it makes you think we're going in one direction and then you make a hard right turn. - Jason S.
Wonderful, eerie, provocative…. Great work. What a great premise… fine actors - especially the leads. - Jayne J.
Love this! Great music, acting and the look is fab… - David G.
It is amazing! So forceful! I liked id it very much! The special effects are excellent… I particularly love the opposition between the gentle music and the ferocity of the scenes! … I am blown away by the political force of the message. In one word: AMAZING! - Francis W.

And the really good news is - we were all impressed!
No, it is not a mistake. :-)
It's taken from DEFINING FAY, but we'll say no more!

This phase of post-production can easily be called the QUIET BEFORE THE STORM. After a couple of weeks of battling some minor but irritating technical glitches (AND WINNING; phew!) and juggling the conform, the grading, the CGI work, the sound-mixing work, we are in a bit of a STRANGE PLACE. The film is nearly finished, it is looking more GORGEOUS than ever, but it isn't quite ready, yet. Not ready to show. The GOOD NEWS is that with each new step the whole team appreciates all over again just how much it's all WORTH IT. She will be a FABULOUS FAY.
FAY's MUSIC! Maestro Nikola Kodjabashia defining the soundtrack for the film.
Yaaay!!! It's here! It's finally here!
The DEFINING FAY poster!
DEFINING FAY is IN THE TITANIUM CASE. Well, it used to be - the film is IN THE CAN. Though that never really meant one can. Even for a 10 minute short film such as Fay, you'd have dozens of cans. Now, every bit of footage we've shot, all the sound, and even all the various cuts (versions) of the film and all the additional data yet to come - everything fits in this one little hard-drive….
For some reason, it never seizes to amaze me, this.
The magical power of the frame! (1/25 of a second) As DEFINING FAY goes through its 3rd cut - and through the hands of our masterful editor David Smith - it's amazing to be reminded just how much difference a little frame can make.
It's all about the little trim here and the little trim there…

- 1 onion (about 1/2 lb.), peeled
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1/2 teaspoon whole allspice
- 6 to 8 whole cloves
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1. Trim and discard most of the surface fat from brisket. Rinse meat well under cool running water, rubbing gently to release its corning salt.
- 2. Lay meat, fattiest side up, in a 2-inch-deep, 11- by 15- or 16-inch roasting pan. Thinly slice lemon (discard seeds) and onion and lay slices over meat. Sprinkle with peppercorns, allspice, and cloves.
- 3. Set pan on middle rack in a 325° oven. Pour about 8 cups boiling water around brisket, seal the pan with foil, and bake until meat is very tender when pierced, about 4 hours. Uncover and drain off all but about 1 cup of the liquid. If desired, reserve the lemon and onion slices and rearrange them on top of the meat.
- 4. In a small bowl, mix the mustard and brown sugar; spread evenly over meat, on top of the onion-lemon mixture. Broil about 8 inches from heat until the mustard mixture begins to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the brisket to a platter. Serve hot, warm, or cold; slice meat across the grain.
Notes: The weight of the meat shrinks by about half as the brisket cooks.

Join us at the next Pullip and Dal Doll Lovers Event!
Past PUDDLES
View the Gallery to see photos from previous events!
PUDDLE 2014 - Seven Colors for Seven Years
The theme of the seventh Pullip and Dal Doll Lovers Event was rainbows ¢ seven colors for seven years. New this year was a Best in Theme contest, and attendees rose to the challenge. The winner was ByronicHeroine with her lineup of Rainbow Brite dolls.
Attendance was the highest ever, with 77 paid attendees at the Holiday Inn Chicago-Elk Grove. The first 60 paid registrants received premium gift bags, and all others who pre-registered received regular gift bags. The bags contained a nice variety of donated and other items.
Attendees were able to buy dolls, wigs, handmade clothing, and accessories from vendors. Events included doll customization contests, an original outfit contest, a dress-like-your-doll parade, door prizes, raffles, and a silent auction. For the first time several ice breakers were played, including a Pullip family trivia contest.
This article on the 2014 PUDDLE appeared in the September 2014 issue of Dolls magazine.
PUDDLE 2013 - It Was a Hoot!
The Pullip and Dal Doll Lovers Event takes place each year, and each year there is a new theme. In 2013 the theme was owls, and owls of every kind could be seen represented on dolls, people, decorations, and accessories. The sixth PUDDLE took place at the Holiday Inn Chicago-Elk Grove on June 15.
Although PUDDLE is a fan-run event, it has the support of GROOVE INC, the company behind the Pullip family of dolls. GROOVE INC USA donated five dolls wearing outfits designed by students in Japan and an assortment of hard-to-find Pullip items. Through silent auctions for the dolls and raffles for a huge variety of prizes, $738 was raised for the Willowbrook Wildlife Center, which does wildlife rehabilitation in the Chicago area.
The winner of the PUDDLE online photo/art contest was Jessica LeBar. Crayola Bolger won the dress-like-your-doll contest with steampunk outfits she made for herself and her doll. Alice Omega, a zombie-themed Alice in Wonderland Pullip created by Requiem, was chosen as the best customized doll, and Victorian Jack, wearing an outfit designed by Mela Rivellini, won the best mini doll contest. The original outfit Owl Ranger by Christa Rodriguez won best original outfit and Nicole FeldmanÆs Pullip entry won best modified doll.
The event registration fee was a very affordable $16. The dozen vendors in attendance did a brisk business, and buy-sell-trade among the attendees was fast and furious. Each attendee received a goodie bag and a door prize thanks to a long list of generous sponsors, including Groove USA, ebay seller msdoll1, rubyredgalleria.com, ebay seller shifty-lizard-cool-stuff, pullipstyle.com, azonestore.com, mimiwoo.com, etradersplace.com, kerriarosette.com, abigailsknits.com, SakuraÆs Blossom, and etsy sellers AintThatCunnin, EffieDalShop, salukimom, dollclothesstore, keelyvh, kirakirameanssparkle, dncnllama, LouiseCaroline, mandylynn, quamara, and sweetneat.
One attendee commented, ōThe use of the space was nice this year. It felt full and bustling with activity. I enjoyed all the time to socialize. There were so many events but it was still a relaxed and fun atmosphere.ö

The Stars Shown Bright at PUDDLE 2012
The Stars Shown Bright at PUDDLE 2012
The theme of the fifth Pullip and Dal Doll Lovers Event (PUDDLE) was stars with five points representing the five years of the event, and fans in attendance agreed it was a sparkling occasion for everyone.
PUDDLE 2012 took place on June 9 at the Elk Grove Village Holiday Inn in the Chicago suburbs. For the first time, a USA representative from Groove Inc., the company behind Pullip doll and her friends, attended the event. Yosuke Oba of Jun Planning USA/Groove USA brought upcoming releases as well as sample prototype dolls from Groove creative artist Mango Park. He also auctioned retired dolls and sold nude dolls at a great price, causing a frenzy of buying.
On Friday night, attendees ate dinner at Mitsuwa Marketplace, a short distance from the event hotel, then gathered in the hotel lobby for informal activities.
Saturday started with registration and adorable gift bags showcasing artwork by Julianne Hom and Carmela Doneza. Morning events included a buy-sell-trade opportunity, a group photo, door prizes for everyone, and a secret gift swap. After a break for lunch, a doll customization contest was judged by Ariel Haynes of the Shifty Lizard Shop, which was present throughout the day selling NRFB dolls.
In the full customization category, Jane ōTrueFanö Easterly was awarded first place for her Dal Luvvul, customized as a red fox, and second place for her Dal Festive, customized as a festive parrot. Caleb ōProfessor Emilö Reich won third place for his Dal Anastasia. Christy Johnson was awarded first place in the modified category for her Pullip Elidia. Second place went to Carolyn ōBabelglyphö Bolger and third place to Aerielle ōUtsu~chanö Simmons.
The customization contest was followed by a dress-like-your-doll parade, judged by Kathryn Huang and Melissa Sowers. Huang and Sowers donated gorgeous prizes for the costume and original outfit contests from their etsy shops, KeelyÆs Cute Kimono and Quaint Quintessence. The winners in the costume contest were Caleb Reich, Megan ōravenwcatzö Gallagher, and Jane Easterly and their matching dolls. In the original outfit category, Christa ōByronic Heroineö Rodriguez was awarded first place, Carmela ōapplecandyö Rivellini second place, and Caleb Reich third place.
An online photo contest took place before the event, allowing fans from around the world who could not make it to the event on June 9 to participate. Manga artist Carmela ōShieiö Doneza judged the contest and chose ōCatch a Falling Starö by Desiree Grubbs as the first place winner, saying ōThe composition is simple but straight to the point. I love its whimsy and the light hearted feeling it gives.ö Jessie Kanacharoen was awarded second prize for her untitled entry and the team of Claire Molenda and Cecily Bobrowski was awarded third prize for their entry ōOut of This World Cuteness.ö In an online poll, entries by M. van Rooijen, Jessica LeBar, and Shannon Fukumoto were chosen as Fan Favorites.
The day wound down with drawings for some wonderful raffle prizes, socializing, and clean-up, followed by dinner in the hotel restaurant and an informal gathering in the hotel lobby until the wee hours. Money from the raffles was donated to the USO, in honor of those who serve the stars and stripes, and to the Willowbrook Wildlife Center.
An article on the event and photos from the photo/art contest appeared in the November 2012 Doll Collector Magazine:
The fourth Pullip and Dal Doll Lovers Event, held on June 11, 2011, was enjoyed by 60 attendees who travelled from 10 states and Canada. The event theme, cranes, was inspired by sandhill cranes at the charity organization, the Willowbrook Wildlife Center. Custom dolls and other donated items were raffled off to raise $500 for the Center.
The weekend started Friday with dinner at Mitsuwa Japanese Mall and a tea party at the hotel. Saturday events included an organized buy-sell-trade, group photos, door prizes for everyone thanks to generous donations from sponsors, gift swap, customizing workshop, customized doll contest, and dress-like-your-doll parade.
The top customization prize was won by Liz Healy for the OOAK Pullip doll she donated to the raffle. The costume contest was won by Amanda Edwards dressed as Pullip Clara. Krista Farmer won the original doll outfit first prize for the very detailed ensemble made for her custom Luna Lovegood Pullip.

Many fans continued the fun in the hotel restaurant and lobby until the wee hours. Eleven fans visited the Willowbrook Wildlife Center on Sunday and received a fascinating and educational behind-the-scenes tour.
The 2011 event received a lot of wonderful coverage in doll magazines. The following article appeared in the November 2011 Dolls Magazine:
An article on the event and photos from the photo/art contest appeared in the November 2011 Doll Collector Magazine:
And the Winter 2011 Fashion Doll Quarterly Magazine had a long article complete with sponsor names:
The third Pullip and Dal Doll Lovers Event was thoroughly enjoyed by the 70 attendees who made the trip to Elk Grove Village, Illinois, on June 5, 2010. Attendees came from 11 states and from as far away as California.
The theme of PUDDLE 2010 was ōturtles,ö and turtles abounded. Raffle ticket sales brought in $250 to be donated to the Willowbrook Wildlife Center in Glen Ellen, Illinois, for their work with endangered turtles, and to the Louisiana Marine Mammal and Sea Turtle Rescue Program to help turtles affected by the Gulf oil spill.
While the total value of the convention was over $6000, all but $1000 of it was covered through generous donations of talent and goods. Thanks to the generosity of the event sponsors, each registered attendee took home at least one door prize.
Sponsors in 2010 included PullipStyle, Jun Planning USA, Adore Magazine, Ningyou Magazine, eTraders Place, PanikÆs Toy Box, Re-Ment, the Doll Peddlar, GigiÆs Dolls and SherryÆs Teddy Bears, the Mimi Collection, the Sleeping Elf, JPOP Dolls, DeniseÆs Dolls, nekoshiei, and etsy sellers effiedalshop, sewgrandmacathy, blythesocdcloset, salukimom, daydreamerdolly, wellermade, sugarblocks, kanamai, and jackiekie.
The following article appeared in Doll Collector magazine in 2010:
The second Pullip and Dal Doll Lovers Event (PUDDLE) was held on
The day included a trip to Mitsuwa Japanese Mall for lunch and shopping. Online shop PullipStyle.com delivered both preordered and impulse-purchase Pullip, Dal, and Taeyang dolls, in addition to donating kawaii notepads for everyone. Raffle items donated by online store The Sleeping Elf Ltd and by etsy sellers keelyvh, salukimom, sewgrandmacathy, and BlythesOCDCloset were raffled off, and over $100 was raised to benefit the Save-A-Pet adoption center in Grayslake, Illinois. The event gift bags were filled with goodies from PullipStyle, Jun Planning USA, Rement International, and over a dozen other sponsors, including the Mimi Collection, AmbitiousLove.net, CanCan-Jseries, JPop Dolls, and eTraders Place, plus etsy sellers Megipupu, Jackiekie, FollowtheWhiteRabbit, Burntbao, and CommonlyCute. Etsy seller EffieDalShop made a pair of doll pajamas for every gift bag!
Kathy Davis was awarded a Haute Pullip in New York doll for her winning entry in the doll customization contest. Megan Standiford, the winner of the dress-like-your-doll contest, won a cute kimono from etsy seller keelyvh. Sara Egtved and Victoria Cossack, the winners of the online and event photo/art contests, received gift certificates from online shop panikstoybox.com and etsy seller MyOwnLittleWorld. Seven lucky attendees went home with mini dolls donated by event coordinator Jane Easterly and given out as door prizes. The $3,000 cost of PUDDLE was funded by a small registration fee and generous donations from the sponsors.
The following article appeared in Haute Doll Magazine in 2009:
Lovers of Pullip met on May 31, 2008, at the first Pullip and Dal Doll Lovers Event. The event had over 30 attendees who participated in events, admired the dolls, took pictures, and just generally had fun. The group met at Mitsuwa Chicago Marketplace in Arlington Heights, Illinois. Fans traveled to the event from Minnesota, Indiana, Ohio, and Washington DC, in addition to Illinois. Mitsuwa has an extensive selection of Japanese groceries, books, and restaurants, and the group practically cleared out their assortment of Rement miniatures.
A handful of participants dressed to mirror their "mini me" dolls, and several customized mini Pullips were donated and raffled off. Pullip fans want to give back to the community, so extra raffle tickets were sold with the $36 in proceeds going to Save-A-Pet Adoption Center in the nearby suburb of Grayslake. Participants enjoyed seeing various stock Pullip, Dal, and Taeyang dolls as well as customized dolls. Online web store Pullipstyle.com, home to a very active forum for Pullips lovers, is located near the mall, and collectors were delighted to receive preordered dolls from the shop at the event. Attendees (including the dolls!) received cute keepsake nametags and other small gifts. The event included a grab bag swap and lots of sharing of Pullip love!
The September 2008 issue of Doll Reader magazine contained the following article:

Enjoy Trivial Pursuit for Doctor Who's 50th Anniversary!
There is NOTHING trivial about this. Before now the only way to properly test your high-brain knowledge of Who was by pitting yourself against the contestants in that one-off Mastermind Doctor Who special. But soon we'll have our own Trivial Pursuit. It's amazing it's taken this long, given how perfect the show is for a trivia challenge.
"Do you know your Daleks from your Cybermen? Rose from Martha? Or which Doctor had a stick of celery with him at all times? Then Doctor Who Trivial Pursuit is the game for you! Packed with 600 questions to challenge even the biggest Doctor Who fan, this Trivial Pursuit edition requires no board and can be carried around in its bite-size wedge case."
Games maker Winning Moves are producing other Who-themed favourites including Top Trumps Turbo and Risk. I know I would have literally killed for a pack of Doctor Who Top Trumps way back when it was a game that just involved cards and no batteries…
So now the family can heave themselves from Christmas dinner to the living room and indulge in some good-natured Who-based competition before watching the Christmas special. Alternatively if you're seeking the source of the Nile next spring in a desperate effort to pass the time until Series 8 starts, never fear for the Doctor Who Trivial Pursuit comes in an easily portable carry-case. Shaped like a wedge. Excellent.
You can pre-order Doctor Who Trivial Pursuit now from Forbidden Planet – it's just £9.99!
3 Responses to Enjoy Trivial Pursuit for Doctor Who's 50th Anniversary!
Judging by the lack of any mention of the anniversary on the box, I'm guessing this is only featuring questions from post 2005.
Or they could simply be looking ahead at having the game on shelves for a while instead of dating it.

Sonic Firestorm
July 2004
Released: 2004, Noise
Rating: 5.0/5
Reviewer: JP
I had just bought the first DF disc early this year and was blown away. Of course I was delighted to pick up CD #2 by these self-styled Extreme power-metallions. Extreme is right…extreme speed that is! Speed metal is a term that a few of the older readers will recall but DF seem bent on single-handedly re-inventing the sub-genre. Along with Lost Horizon the two bands have re-injected the (some would claim) stagnant power metal genre. I personally don't think the genre is stagnant at all but I do recognize that Dragonforce are instantly catapulted to near the top of the heap.
This multi-national, multi-faceted, six-piece shred at every turn and yet never loose their sense of song or melody. Every song is loaded with hooks, catchy riffs, amazing, flowing choruses and did I mention speed?
The songs tend towards a slightly progressive structure and flow mixed with the aforementioned speed and very sing-songy choruses. In fact six of the eight tunes on the disc clock in at over six minutes. The lyrics are not really fantasy or Sci-Fi fare but tens to be more lucid, and metaphorical speaking of destiny, dreams, victory and in a sense have a Manowar vibe…fighting for honour and glory and so on, but without the constant 'metalisms' of the Kings of Metal.
The band have a sense of fun as evidence by the decent photos, in this nice package loaded with credits, lyrics and so forth. The production is high and thin which to me adds to the overwhelmingly good sense of urgency and drama. Singer ZP sings his heart out and the lyrical melodies at times remind me of, dare I think it Thin Lizzy? Listen to the chorus of 'Soldiers of the Wasteland' and tell me if there is not a tiny hint of Celtic lilt to the vocal phrasing. Awesome stuff. Herman Li of course has four or five solos per song as does his lesser recognized, but equally adept counter-part Sam Totman. I like the occasional acoustic piano flourishes as well. Musically staggering…extreme indeed!
Sitting comfortably as one of Noise Records marquee acts, (as the label has recently and thankfully re-entered the North America market) Dragonforce do have the ability to convince the jaded and trend-driven US metal market that there is more to metal than the countless Pantera left-overs and lame metalcore acts. If you are not really convinced about PM and have trouble deciding about the wide selection of great bands these days, I heartily recommend launching your power metal career with either Dragonforce disc and of course for fans, this is an essential purchase.

With the playoff picture narrowing by the day, Matt Martin gave me a call yesterday afternoon to discuss some playoff hockey as well as to take a look at the Islanders as they prepare for next season.
Martin is currently waiting for a new contract with the New York Islanders and has been training a lot this off-season in preparation for 2013. He set an NHL record in 2012 with 374 hits in 80 games played to go along with tying his career high of 14 points. Along with his explosions along the wall, Martin has become one of the biggest fan-favorites for the New York Islander. In fact, his hard work, fisticuffs and willingness to stick up for his teammates earned him the Bobby Nystrom Award for 2012.
But apparently all that hard work takes it's toll. The guy didn't even do to much for his 23rd birthday that just passed on May 8th.
When it rains, it pours; that has been the mantra of the New York Islanders this weekend. Yesterday the Isles let up six goals in a loss to the Boston Bruins that mathematically eliminated themselves from playoff contention. Today, they continued their struggling ways in a 5-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators, who were without both Jason Spezza and Daniel Alfredsson.
"It was pretty horrible on our part. They were missing two of their top players and we couldn't take advantage of it. The way we played, we didn't deserve to win, that's for sure," said Islanders captain Mark Streit after the game. He would be the only Islander to be credited with a goal tonight with a John Tavares pass going off of his skate and behind Senators net-minder Craig Anderson.
If the Islanders won all of their remaining games and the Washington Capitals and Buffalo Sabres lost their remaininga games, then the Isles would have done the unthinkable and made the playoffs for the first time in years. However, miraculous combinations of wins and losses are hard to come by these days, especially when you are playing against the defending Stanley Cup champions.
The Bruins scored six goals this afternoon for the third time this season against the Islanders, taking the season series with a 3-1-0 record. The loss finally elimanted the Islanders from playoff contention, concluding the thoughts of even the most hopeless fan that thought somehow they would squeak in. The focus now will shift to finishing the season with a winning record for the first time since Ted Nolan was the head coach and ending up somewhere between 9th and 11th place.
For the 3rd time in the past 6 days the Islanders will play the Devils for an Atlantic division match up. The two teams split the first two games in the series so with baseball season approaching I will consider this the rubber match with the winner of this game winning the series. The Islanders will look to rebound from Thursday night's embarrassing lose to the Devils and get back to some winning ways.
The Islanders come into the game still only seven points out of a playoff spot with 15 games left to play. This doesn't leave any room for bad play if the Islanders want to be serious about making the playoffs. The lines may change slightly from Thursday's game as Matt Martin is questionable. He left Thursday's game early and wasn't allowed to travel back to Long Island with the team due to a sickness. I have not heard a report yet this morning about his condition and whether or not he will play tonight. If he doesn't play then Grabner will be placed back in the lineup. Grabner I feel was missed in the last game with the Devils (healthy scratch) because to beat the Devils defense you need speed and to have our fastest skater in the press box doesn't help the situation.
The stage was set for an emotional carry over into Saturday morning regardless of the outcome of Friday night's Islanders/Rangers game; a win for the Isles against their biggest rival and top team in the Eastern Conference would keep their playoff hopes alive, but a loss to their number one foe would have been a crushing blow to their confidence and chances.
Fortunately, the orange and blue would come on top with a 4-3 shootout victory with Matt Moulson netting the finally tally in the fourth round.
Tensions were high at the start of the game and Matt Martin decided to ease things up a bit by fighting Stu Bickel just over two minutes into the game. Both got their licks in before Martin swung and missed, falling to the ice to end the fight early. A fair draw would set the tone for how evenly the game would be played.

Different head coach, same result.
Thomas Vanek and Tyler Myers both scored and Ryan Miller made 30 saves as the Sabres spoiled interim head coach Doug Weight's coaching debut 2-1 on Tuesday Night.
Weight was appointed interim head coach for the game as head coach Jack Capuano dealt with a flu that has ravaged his lineup in the past three games. Evgeni Nabokov missed his third straight game dealing with the illness.
An all too similar start to the game forced the Islanders into an early 1-0 hole. Tyler Myers opened the scoring just 1:21 into the game. After a initial stop on Derek Roy, Myers found the rebound and snapped it over a prone Kevin Poulin. For the second straight game, the Islanders fell behind within the first 90 seconds.
In a game that the Islanders needed to play extremely well and come out with a win, they just simply didn't show up to play.
The Islanders came into the game needing a great game in order to stay in the playoff race. They started the game in the exact opposite fashion. Just 1:08 into the first period Erik Karlsson was able to sneak a shot in from behind the goal line on Kevin Poulin in order to take the lead. The goal was Karlsson 11th of the season and was unassisted. It didn't get better for the Islanders as just under 30 seconds later Spezza was able to find the back of the net off a wrist shot from the slot. The goal was assisted by Foilgno and Neil and was the end of Kevin Poulin's afternoon.
Al Montoya entered the game just 1:35 from the start. The period continued with the Islanders playing flat and uninspired hockey as the Senators were controlling the game. PA Parenteau had an extremely bad period as he took 2 different penalties but one unsportsmanlike conduct found him in the box for 12 minutes. The Senators weren't able to convert on any of the penalties but just as one was ending Karlsson was able to find the back of the net for the second time in the period. At 14:03 he took a feed from the corner from Alfredsson and fired the shot in the back of the net giving Ottawa a 3-0 lead. The Senators were all over the Islanders in the first period as it ended with the Senators leading in shot 15 to 5.
In this edition of the prospect report I will take a look at two more late round draft picks of the Islanders to see if Garth Snow has found any hidden gems. Mitchell Theoret and Johan Persson are two forwards currently playing junior hockey with hopes of one day making it to the Islander's line-up.
Mitchell Theoret was drafted in 7th round (185th overall) during the 2011 draft. The left winger is currently playing on the Niagara Ice Dogs with Ryan Strome another Islanders prospect. In 47 games so far this season Theoret has scored 10 goals to go along with 6 assist. Known to be more of a grinder type player these numbers aren't bad for a player of his style.
The New York Islanders went into today's game looking to complete a back-to-back sweep on the weekend, taking a total of four points to increase their hopes of a playoff berth for the first time in a long time. But the Isles would end up losing 4-1 to the Florida Panthers, putting a dent into their never ending climb up the standings.
The loss keeps them eight points out of the playoffs; not an impossible number to climb, but one that seems to grow larger with every loss, especially against opponents like the Panthers who are looking to accomplish the same goal.
Frans Nielsen would get things started with an early goal assisted by P.A. Parenteau and Andrew MacDonald. Nielsen wisely cut across the neutral zone to be met by a perfect pass from Parenteau. He would then walk in and snipe one over Jose Theodore's glove to give his team the early lead. Despite the early goal, the Panthers would establish plenty of pressure in the Isles end of the ice and answer back towards the end of the period. (Photo Credit: Cassie Madonia/Flickr)

The New York Islanders went into last night's game looking to pull themselves to a .500 record but failed to do so, squandering a 3-1 first period lead to the Buffalo Sabres and losing by a score of 4-3 in the shootout.
Frans Nielsen would have a three point first period, scoring two goals and adding an assist to help get the Islanders to an early lead despite starting off slow. The Isles were out shot 17-9 in the first period and Al Montoya seemed a little shakey in net. It was only his second start after missing about a month's worth of playing time due to a concussion. His first start was before the All Star break, so it wasn't a surprise that he looked like he needed to shake the rust off. But he would respond well in the second and third periods, continuing to give his team a chance to win the whole night.
"We knew it was going to be a tough weekend," said Montoya after the game. "[There were] huge points on the line. It's unfortunate that we couldn't come out with two points."

The value of dental support organizations (DSOs) in Texas extends beyond the dental chair and into the hundreds of local communities we serve. Texas DSOs and the dental practices they support provide thousands of good-paying jobs in Texas for dentists and other dental care professionals and staff.
The economic impact of DSO-supported offices is also felt in the millions of dollars in capital investments and tax payments they contribute to our local and state economies each year.
By the Numbers:
- 439: Number of Texas dentists supported by DSOs
- 2,718: Direct jobs generated by DSOs statewide
- $140 million: Annual payroll generated by DSOs
- $120 million: Amount of capital invested by Texas DSOs over the past 4 years

In July 2010, Madison Water Utility (MWU) began the East Side Water Supply (ESWS) Project, a major water supply planning project that paired professional and scientific expertise with community engagement to recommend future infrastructure on Madison's East Side. In October 2010, a Citizen Advisory Panel (CAP) was formed for this project. The CAP met and advised MWU on public expectations for drinking water quality, water supply and demand, and water conservation.
On July 12, 2011, the CAP presented three advisories to the Water Utility Board:
On July 26, 2011 the Water Utility Board approved four recommendations, including the following:
Additional information:
On March 24, 2009 at 4:30 p.m. at the Water Utility Administration offices at 119 East Olin Avenue, the Water Utility Board introduced and referred a resolution to establish the project. Following a public participation process, the Water Utility Board considered public input concerning Well 8 to determine if the project should be established.

5 New Things To Try For Spring
We are a few months into the New Year and now would be an opportune time to check in with yourself and see how you're doing. Resolutions aside, is there anything else flitting across your radar? The coming of spring often sparks the inspiration to make a change, transform or try something new. Nothing is more energizing then a fresh beginning and for many, a change in season brings on that special kind of daring.
If you need a jumpstart, ViX designer Paula Hermanny has a list of five things for you to try this spring—all of which will help you get ready for summer! A devotee to each of the activities below, Paula shares a bit of her lifestyle in hopes that you can join in, too:
1. Juicing
"You have to try and eat healthy. Fresh juicing is an easy way to get nutrients from vegetables."
Paula's favorites: Farm 2 Fork Produce and Suja Juice
2. Meditating
"Every morning this is part of my routine—it's very important to me."
Here's a helpful meditation book on Paula's reading list.
3. Swim in the ocean
"I love doing this, the sea and ocean air give me so much energy!"
4. Try highlights in your hair
" Be sure it looks close to your natural hair, not two contrasting colors."
5. Wear Brazilian Cut Bikini Bottoms!

It's taken a whole week for me to get this online because I'm clueless but's done! very happy, seems to work on all browsers, please tell me if you spot any errors
The challenge: With growing economic concerns and shrinking marketing budgets, we needed to tell clients and prospective clients that in spite - indeed because of the recession, we are more relevant to them now than ever.
What we needed was a simple, cheap and effective way to do this.
I went to the Manchester Design Symposium on Wednesday at the beautiful Manchester Town Hall. The symposium explored the relationship with design and the economy and brought up the question of whether the UK's place at the top table of world design is under threat as emerging economies invest more in their 'knowledge economy' and whether design and innovation has the potential to power the UK out of a recession.
There were some incredibly inspirational speakers at this years design symposium including 28 year old Will Hudson, the founder of It's Nice That and the brilliant Adrian Shaughnessy, author of How to be a Graphic Designer Without Loosing Your Soul. The person who inspired me the most was Morag Myercough, she has been a designer for the past 20 years but only in the last 10 years she has been doing exactly what she believes in.
Her main passion seems to be boosting community spirit and making people feel good within a space. This signage in the image above was for a youth-led venue called Platform in her local community a few streets from where she was brought up. The quote was written by children who go to the community centre. Her designs are quite eccentric and off the wall but well executed and considered within a space. She does a lot of work for schools, such as bold signage and uplifting wall designs for children's hospitals.
Westminster Academy school
Dagenham School world map
Hand-stencilled stools for the new Royal London Children's hospital
She doesn't care about making profit, she makes the most of the budget she gets for projects especially with her passion for making things. Whenever she has a hands on project she aims to do all of the work herself, whether its painting stool tops or constructing huge structures out of blocks of wood. One of her most exciting projects was asked to convert a train into a cafe, the Deptford project which brought life into a community which needed a creative output.
Her main message was to stay true to who you are, however I believe that she must have been doing work she didn't want to be doing to get her career started. She mentioned that she never wants to design a logo ever again, which gives me the impression that she used to do quite commercial work.
I think its very hard for a designer to do exactly what they believe in but as long as you are aware of your ethical responsibility and your own morals and be proactive in trying to change something you don't believe in, it will pay off in the long run. Morag's talk has inspired me to make more hand crafted work and to work in collaborations, which considering I live with 4 other graphic designers it's pretty ridiculous none of us have ever collaborated before.
On Wednesday 29th Feb I went to the Typo Event-Reseach and Practice talk organised by Tim at media city. The talk covered the following questions:
How important is research in practice?
Do designers still use sketchbooks?
Is there enough time to work on projects that are not profit driven?
The main speakers at the event were Nick Hard and Jeff Knowles for Planning Unit, they are also ex student from Salford. They took us through the background of their company, before Planning Unit they were at Research Studios. Their style was informal and down to earth and a good mix of humour and were really interesting to listen to. They talked through what projects they had worked on and were very honest about the amount of work put into each, such as for their Somerset House brief, the client needed to see the design literally so they put the logo on a huge flag and photographed it around Somerset house because they wanted to capture the beauty of the architecture, and admitted they weren't very successful but the client loved it and still use the images today.
They have also worked on book layouts such as; "Eye" the story behind the London Eye, planning to construction and the life of the eye so far. They also designed the Global Visual Language of the BBC website which they worked on full time for a year, deciding on fonts, grid systems and colours. Another interesting client was Bonfire Snowboarding Company where they expanded their knowledge even further by designing fabric patterns and snow boots designs.
Research Studios designed the custom typeface "New Deal" for the title cards for Public Enemies.
Jeff and Nick them teamed up to follow their dream of launching a leading creative design studio in 2011. The name Planning Unit came from Nick's Grandfather who ran a design studio of the same name.
The first project they took on as a studio was for Knoll Furniture because this is the company Nick's grandfather found success working alongside.
They brought back their classic style and repackaged them, they gave them a simple recognisable language, which made it much more beautiful.
A client which they went into quite a lot of depth about was Salomon wanted a new logo which could be used across all of their product range. The amount of work they showed was astounding, research into the company, worked out what was going wrong with the original S, looked at hundreds and hundreds of different S's, seeing if they look like an 8 when its small, sans serif or serif. All in all the project took 6 months and won't be released until 2013.
Their advice for students was
- show enthusiasm and passion for the project, which is what got them a lot of projects over other designers
- understand who you are working with
- research the company, what will bring the company forward
- contextualise what you do
- learn by doing
The inspirations they listed were very broad, but every designer should be inspired by a wealth of areas.

Is Primer a money making scam, something good if you can afford it but not essential or a really an important part of every make-up routine?
Asked by
Do you want me to convince you out of buying it or into it? Because I think it really depends on the person and your needs — I mean, all makeup is negotiable, and we could argue that it's all a scam to buy into our insecurities blah blah blah. Anyway, eye primer I think is really important if you wear eyeshadow and you want it to be vibrant and crease free. If you don't wear eyeshadow, you don't need it. But I think if you do, even rarely, it's a good and worthy investment. Keep in mind you don't need an expensive one, there are quite a few worthy drugstore primers like Palladio, even E.L.F.
I do think face primer actually does something. It's not a scam, you just need to find the one that works for you. I don't use it, but I also have dry skin and don't wear my makeup for longer than 6 hours if I don't have to. If you want your makeup to last, and there is a chance that you'll be sweating throughout the day, it makes sense to ensure your makeup will last and to use a primer. We've recommended primers multiple times before based on skin type if you check the tags.

In what is still causing shockwaves – and more than a few hearts to flutter – we were as surprised as anyone when the CW action series Arrow recently gave us its first lesbian kiss.
In the February 5th episode, Sara Lance (aka Black Canary), played by Caity Lotz, was confronted by fellow League of Assasin member Nyssa al Ghul (Katrina Law) and ordered to return to the villainous fold.
Sexual fluidity is a huge part of "Flappers: Six Women of a Dangerous Generation"
The 1920s was a decade not so unlike the 1960s, or so Judith Mackrell writes in her book Flappers: Six Women of a Dangerous Generation. While the more recent period of free love might be hailed as the more significant period of sexual freedom and progressiveness for women's rights and voices to be heard, things were happening largely in Europe that put real change into motion, and most of them can be attributed to a handful of artists, writers, actors and performers who weren't interested in being subservient wives and dutiful mothers, at least not those two things alone. Flappers, available now from Sarah Crichton Books, profiles the lives of Josephine Baker, Tallulah Bankhead, Diana Cooper, Nancy Cunard, Zelda Fitzgerald and Tamara de Lempicka while also highlighting several other women in the same progressive movement as their lives were inevitably intertwined. And one thing that is clear from the stories: Women who acknowledged their sexual attraction to other women or who did not shy away from friendships with women that identified as other than straight were those who led to the most social change.
The Winter Olympics have come and gone. Stray dogs have been adopted. Memes have been born. And Sochi bear has shed his last tears. But before we bid adieu to one of the most bizarre Olympics in history, let's check in one more time to see how the six brave out Olympians fared.
So I know there are like a million other people who struggle with coming out, but I need to tell my dad I'm bisexual. He's the only important person in my life left to tell, and his is the reaction I'm most worried about. I wanted to wait until I knew for sure if I was gay or bi (actually this article of yours helped me figure it out). I know people say not to worry about labels, but he wouldn't understand without one, so I wanted to be sure. Now that I know, there's nothing stopping me from telling him. My mom knows and is 100% supportive (I knew she would be cuz she has two gay siblings), but I feel bad making her keep this secret from my dad. He's asked her a couple of times if I'm gay and she had to lie. She said she didn't know and if I was would it matter, and he ignored her question completely. Just didn't answer her. He asked me once if "I was thinking about going that way" but that was months ago when I was still confused. I've been waiting for another opportunity like that but none have come, so I guess what I want to know is how to bring this up to him on my own?
Michelle Rodriguez has spoken, for the first time, about dating supermodel Cara Delevigne while at the BAFTAs.
"It's going really well. She's so cool. When we started hanging out I just thought she was awesome, and we have the best time together. She's hard though. You wouldn't want to mess with her in a fight."
Valentine's Day is almost upon us, and we're here to help you help yourself make it out unscathed. Scientifically speaking, lesbian/bisexual women have 300 to 600 percent more feelings than an average human, and so on the one day of the year devoted entirely to feelings, things are bound to get tricky—especially on that behemoth social network that taught us oh so long ago that relationships aren't exactly binary. You can be: Single. You can be: In a Relationship. Or you can be: It's Complicated. But you don't have to be: The Vaguely Unpleasant. Below are some handy tips to help you own Valentine's Day on Facebook, no matter your relationship status.
She came out when she tweeted her support of a Norwegian artist's protest against Russia's anti-LGBT policies.
As I was finishing up my Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. recap last night, silently bemoaning the fact that the very lesbian Agent Victoria Hand still hasn't come out on-screen, an ironic thing happened: Black Canary (played by Caity Lotz) revealed herself as the bisexual ex-girlfriend of Nyssa al Ghul (played by Katrina Law) on CW's Arrow, making them the first queer female characters in Marvel or DC's cinematic universes.
Here's how it went down:
Not too very long ago Sara Lance was rescued by the League of Assassins after nearly drowning in a boating accident. To show her thanks, all they asked was that she train with them to become a super-secret super-killer. And when Ras al Ghul, the leader of the League of Assassins, asks you to do something, you pretty much agree, or you pretty much die. Sara trained with the LoA but decided it really wasn't the life for her, so she escaped and took up with Oliver Queen/Green Arrow & Co., which has allowed her to explore her superheroic Black Canary side. (They have a lot in common; his Pops was also involved in a shipwreck.)
Dear AE,
There's this girl, her name is Bi. Her last boyfriend, Cheater, cheated on her for months. Despite this, she had the hardest time getting over him. When she finally realized how awful he was, she met a new guy, Phobic. Phobic doesn't know that Bi sometimes likes the ladies. He treats her really well, spoiling her, and being really understanding about all of the drama in her past. She's never had a boyfriend treat her so well.
Then there's Me. Me and Bi have been best friends for practically their whole lives. Last year Me admitted she had feelings for Bi. Bi returned them, but was scared and ran. It almost ruined their friendship. Me has worked really hard to get over her feelings, but she isn't sure that Bi is over them. Me is also concerned about the new boyfriend's homophobia. Phobic treats Bi well, but doesn't know everything about her, so his affection is conditional. Me is also afraid to meet this guy, even though he doesn't know she prefers the company of women.
Should she say something to Bi? If yes, then what should Me say? Did this make any sense at all?

The Libertarian Identification Rule in Finite Atomistic Lattices
AbstractCollective Identification Procedures (CIPs) model admission rules regulating membership in associations, communities and clubs: the Libertarian identification rule Fl is the CIP which essentially relies on self-certification. This paper studies Fl in an arbitrary finite atomistic lattice, allowing an unified treatment of collective identification problems with either exogenous or endogenous choice of classification labels. An elementary axiomatic characterization of Fl in that general setting is provided and contrasted with previously known characterizations which only work in more specialized (e.g. distributive) lattices, and are therefore confined to collective identification problems with exogenously fixed labels. Non-manipulability properties of Fl on a certain simple restricted domain are also considered and shown to hold for any finite atomistic lattice

You want SPST break on rise
@ December 13, 2006 4:38 PM in Correct vaporstat replacement for PressuretrolThe -J1009 and -J1017 have an SPDT switch that switches R to B or R, the same as the L608 mercury vaporstat. Ignore the W terminal. Just pretend it's not there. Treat it as though it were an SPST switch, R to B only, break on rise, make on fall. The -J1025 and -J1033 are direct replacements for the L408B, none of which have any place in your application. I'm a little surprised that the PA404 has 24V listed. I can't think of a reason that the L408J wouldn't work at 24V, but I wouldn't do it since it's not a listed application. I think that these controls are better placed on the line voltage side, anyway, in series with the low water cut-out. That's a better way to go than adding an extra relay. Mark
Piece of cake
@ December 13, 2006 3:42 PM in T-stat for 1-pipe steam sysyemYour description sounded just like an original Chronotherm, so I moseyed on over to Honeywell's site and searched their literature for "chronotherm." An ammeter's really the best way to do this, and they're pretty inexpensive. But if you know exactly what the thermostat is connected to, then you can check that device's nameplate to figure out how much current will be pulled through the thermostat. This depends on your system. The thermostat might be directly connected to an oil primary, or a gas valve, or a relay, or a zone valve. (Well, it probably wouldn't be a zone valve on a steamer.) In a simple heating-only steam system, you'd usually be looking at the oil primary or the gas valve. Mark
@ December 13, 2006 2:50 PM in T-stat for 1-pipe steam sysyemSounds like an old mechanical Chronotherm. It's similar internally to a mechanical T87, except for the timer. Both use mercury switches mounted on a bimetallic coil. They've also got anticipators, and you should probably check the setting before condemning it unless you've already made up your mind about a new thermostat. Is this what you've got? The anticipator is shown on page 22. http://customer.honeywell.com/Honeywell/UI/UserControls/ProductCatalog/getliterature.axd?LiteratureID=68-0055.pdf The recalibration that Bill describes is shown on page 25, but it doesn't sound to me like you need to do this.
@ December 13, 2006 12:06 PM in Correct vaporstat replacement for PressuretrolMel, according to that PDF, you want L408J1009 or L408J1017, and you want to use terminals R and B. The difference between the two is that one has a 1psi main scale and the other has a 4psi main scale. If you don't need more than 1psi for cut-out, you might want the lower-range model to give you more precision and to prevent a future knucklehead from turning the pressure up too high. A Honeywell distributor, whom you need to order one of these through anyway, will be able to help you figure out which is which.
Gorton 54
@ December 11, 2006 3:08 PM in Gorton 54 disc type vent valveAs far as I'm aware, this isn't something you should find on a steam system, it's meant to separate air from water and vent it in hot water systems. You should bush the 1/4" down to 1/8" and use an air vent intended for steam.
@ December 11, 2006 3:01 PM in Reading a pressuretrol--dumb question?On the PA404, the number that's facing the front of the control on the differential wheel is the differential setting. You turn the wheel all the way to one side for a differential of 1psi.
Let's go back to basics
@ December 10, 2006 12:24 PM in What happens when a pressuretrol breaks?The pressuretrol and pressure gauge are two independent devices. One doesn't belong to the other. But if they're both mounted on the same pipe, and that pipe is clogged, neither of them are going to see very much pressure. (Of course, the same could happen if they're mounted on different loops.) When a gauge doesn't see pressure, it won't move. When a pressuretrol doesn't see pressure, it won't shut the burner off. Now, the pressuretrol is being used as a safety control here, but even if it's not registering any pressure at all, you've got a 15psi relief valve piped into the top of the boiler. Or, at least, you should. That's another safety. If pressure builds to that point, the relief valve, and not your boiler, will be the first thing to give. It'll shoot steam all over the place, and you don't want to be in its way when that happens, but at least your boiler won't explode. But don't worry. If your boiler is able to heat your home, chances are that you'd overheat before anything to to that point. The fact that your burner is cycling on and off makes it less likely that you're building that kind of pressure. (You can give your boiler a high-limit-only manual-reset pressuretrol, preferrably on its own pigtail, as a safety control to shut things down if your operating pressuretrol is out to lunch, before popping the relief valve. But it's an added expense, and most homes don't get treated to these.) In a typical steam system - and I don't know if yours is typical or not - there are a few things that can shut the burner down: - Thermostat. When the thermostat is satisfied, it will end a call for heat, and the burner will stop. - Pressuretrol or vaporstat. While the thermostat is calling for heat, this will turn the burner off when the pressure rises to a setpoint, and start it back up again when the pressure drops. - Low water cut-off. If the water level in the boiler is too low, this will interrupt the burner to protect it from firing a dry boiler. Dry boilers can crack when heated, and if you add water to them, they can explode. - Burner primary control. If the flame goes out when it's not supposed to, this will stop the burner to avoid spraying fuel into the combustion chamber without burning it. The last thing you want is a puddle of oil in there, waiting to go BOOM when you finally manage to establish a flame. Any one of these things can cause your burner to cycle, although it's not normal for the low water cut-off or primary control to be cycling the burner - and if they are, you need to have someone look at your system. Older primaries would lock out immediately if you lost flame while the burner was running. Some of the newer electronic ones will shut the burner down for a minute and then try to relight - although there are safeties built in here, too, it's still possible for it to mask marginal-combustion problems, making them appear to cycle your burner. Based on what you've written - specifically, that you see an arc in the thermostat's mercury tube when the burner cycles - I'd suspect a thermostat problem. But nobody's going to rule out other possibilities from this distance. I'd suggest that the anticipator may be set incorrectly. If you've got an ammeter, you can easily measure a baseline for the proper setting. If not, look for the current (amperage) rating on the primary control, although this can really depend on how the system is wired. If the anticipator is set improperly, you can damage the thermostat and wind up with no heat. And, for peace of mind, you should really have the guys who installed the new burner take a closer look at the whole system, not just parts. Safety's important, as it seems you agree. Mark
Temperature-sensitive element
@ December 9, 2006 7:57 AM in vent questionAn air vent has a temperature-sensitive element. It's either a bimetallic strip or a sealed vessel containing a mixture set to boil at a specific temperature slightly less than the temperature of steam. Lost Art describes the operation of the latter in detail. In both cases, the temperature of the steam causes the valve to close. A float is also provided to close the valve in the presence of water. In the case of pressure-vessel vents, the vessel itself doubles as the float. Mark
Gortons don't? That's news to me!
@ December 8, 2006 11:17 PM in vent questionAs far as I know, Gortons close against water. They've got floats inside - you can hear 'em - and mine have never spit. To be sure, stop by http://www.gorton-valves.com/ and e-mail them or give them a call.
Pressure relief valve
@ December 3, 2006 7:29 PM in No heat upstairs...kids cold...help!I labelled the pressure REDUCING valve, which is the fill valve. That's the one that you use to let water into the boiler. I didn't label the pressure RELIEF valve, which automatically opens if the pressure gets too high. You can also use it to manually reduce the pressure a little bit. The two valves look similar but are very different, don't confuse them! The pressure relief valve on your boiler is coming out of the top. You can see it in the far corner on your picture. It's the one with the pipe coming out, and heading down toward the ground at an elbow - that pipe ends, open, before reaching the ground. If you lift the handle on the relief valve, it'll let some water out through that pipe, reducing the system pressure. You might have slow drip for a couple of days, but it'll eventually stop. Your boiler pressure is related to the maximum height of the system above the gauge. Unless you've got really high ceilings or three floors, 20psi is high. You can drop it down to the 12-15 range.

SPDT Honeywell Thermostats
@ December 2, 2006 7:14 PM in SPDT ThermostatsThe old mercury T87s are no longer being made, but I thought that new mercury-free thermistor-based T87s were available now. It's a classic, how could they kill it? The catalog shows T87K as the new mercury-free T87F. It looks and acts like a mercury T87 on the outside, and it wires up just the same, but inside, it's an electronic power-stealer. You'll find cycle rate switches instead of a heat anticipator. The magic phrase when dealing with Honeywell is "Series 20," which is what they called their 3-wire power-open/power-closed control system. Their literature may not say SPDT, but if it says Series 20, that's what it is. Here are some SPDT options: T87K: Electronic mercury-free non-programmable round T822G: Mechanical (bi-metal) non-programmable TH5000 series: FocusPRO digital non-programmable TH6000 series: FocusPRO digital programmable TH8000 series: VisionPRO touch-screen programmable For the T87K and T822G, you get SPDT switching either R-W or R-Y right out of the box, just like the SPDT mercury T87. For the digital ones, you need to configure the thermostat for 3-wire heat-only operation, otherwise, the Y terminal will be used for cooling. Mark
Glad to help
@ December 2, 2006 5:13 PM in No heat upstairs...kids cold...help!Glad to help, guys. It might not be such a bad idea to provide customers with similar diagrams after installations.
@ November 29, 2006 10:50 PM in No heat upstairs...kids cold...help!I've labeled the valves in this picture for you. Try to purge from the blue guys on top - use the one that goes to the second floor, if you can figure out which. One of the blue valves up top is hiding behind another pipe in your picture, but I found him. If you want to use the one I've labeled "alternate purge," leave the red one on top that I've labeled "close me" open. When you're done, put all the valves back the way you found them.
@ November 28, 2006 1:05 PM in Old Radiator EDR to BTUBest of luck with your project, Tim!
You're on the right track
@ November 28, 2006 9:46 AM in Old Radiator EDR to BTUSquare feet EDR is a measure of the surface area of radiating metal. Heat output might vary between radiators of the same dimensions when they're different types. The idea is to consider the surface area - the interface between the hot steam or water inside the radiator and the cooler air in the room - to level the playing field. Here's an online guide that describes cast iron radiator sizing, with charts for standard radiator types: http://www.colonialsupply.com/resources/radiator.htm Dan's Lost Art book has even more charts for standard radiators, and the EDR book has sizing information for more esoteric radiation. Mark
@ November 25, 2006 12:46 PM in Danfoss Valves on Single Pipe Steam SystemsBecause you've got a one-pipe steam system, your only option is a thermostatic valve on the radiator's vent hole, like the RA2000 1PS. If you fit an RA2000 1PS, you should use a straight-shank air vent, to guarantee that condensate drains from the vent. You can't use a thermostatic valve in place of the supply valve, like the RA2000 non-1PS. Those won't work on a one-pipe steam radiator. They throttle the steam supply, but because the same pipe is used to drain condensate, you'll wind up with water hammer as steam blasts away the water that's in its way. If you've got the thermostat in an unheated space, the worst case scenario is that all of the Danfoss valves close, and the thermostat keeps calling from heat. The burner will run short cycles to maintain pressure, but nothing's going to get any warmer. I like the thermostat in a heated but lightly-used space, with a smallish radiator, smallish vent, and no TRV. You want the thermostat in a heated space so it knows when to turn the system on and off, but you don't want a TRV on its radiator because if the TRV is set to maintain a lower temperature than the thermostat, the thermostat will never stop calling for heat. A heat-timer is an alternative to a thermostat that's especially attractive when you can't find a good spot for the thermostat - like when you don't want to put the 'stat for the whole building in any one tenant's apartment - but they're expensive and I've never played with one. I really like these little valves, and so do the formerly-broiling tenants. When you use 'em properly, they work well and you will save fuel. Mark Another apartment building guy
What if I have condensation and not a leak???
@ October 11, 2006 5:48 AM in New BoilerCan you tell from the previous pic which was taken 2 weeks ago just after cleaning and this one taken today if this is condensation or a leak? Both pics are of the return side with the drain valve on the right and the return line coming in on the left. I do have pics of the supply side which has minute "leaks" compared to the return side. Remember no bypass and large volume system with old CI radiators and the temp gauge on the boiler has only been running 120-140F recently which should be causing condensation. Also, I always close the cold water fill shutoff valves and never need to add water unless I drain the sealed expansion tank. If it's just condensation and not just small leakes would it pay to just add a bypass, outdoor reset and vent damper and hope it will last another 10 years or should I go for the new install?

Updating/Flashing BIOS
Flash BIOS
Older computers may have BIOS too old to handle plug and play, fancy video cards, or large hard drives. In this case, it is wise to upgrade your BIOS.
Many machines require that you install a whole new motherboard in order to swap the BIOS for something newer. Many Pentium machines, though, have Flash ROM, or Flash EPROM. If such chips are used in the BIOS, the machine is said to have Flash BIOS. In such machines, you simply run an update utility to upgrade your BIOS. The software performs all of the modifications for you. While this can be very easy to do, you must do it according to the instructions that come with the update. If installed wrong, your computer might not start at all.
Before installing any new BIOS, first make sure you get the right BIOS, Contact the company that made your machine and ask them what they think your machine should be running. You can also try Wim's BIOS guide to identifying your motherboard. Next, enter your CMOS and record your settings. On most machines you can get to CMOS by pressing F1 or Delete after start up or CTRL-ALT-ESC. Once there, record your setting either by hand, or printing them. Make sure you get all of the settings. Using the PRINT SCREEN button might be the best way. This step will make sure you can rebuild the settings if your CMOS gets erased during the upgrade.
If the computer you're upgrading has a modem, you can log on to the company's FTP or web site and usually download the new BIOS program for free. Here is a list of motherboard manufacturers. Usually, you can navigate to the product page for your motherboard and you will find a link to the BIOS download page. You should see a most recent BIOS for download as well as an archive of previous BIOS versions. Look for a change log to see what might have changed for each BIOS release. Some changes are useless, others provide real support for newer hardware which you might be interested in. Also, some manufacturers provide their BIOS downloads wiht the flash utility and the BIOS .bin file bundled together into an EXE file. This is convenient and use them when they are available. Others release their BIOS on ZIP files, and the resulting un-zipped file is just a .bin file. In this case, you will need to download the flash utility separately. When you download it, download to a bootable, high-density diskette. Make sure you format and copy system files to the diskette before use. This option is given in the Windows disk-format screen. If the system has no modem, you will need to contact the company and ask them to send you the BIOS on diskette, but everybody should have a modem nowdays.
Once you have the upgrade file on diskette, pop the disk in Drive A:. Unzip the file if it is zipped. Then read any *.TXT files or any other file that has installation instructions. These are your prime instructions to follow and take precendence over anything I could write here. You may want to print them. Below, I will outline the procedure:
- Insert the bootable floppy disk in drive A:.
- The file that you downloaded from the manufacturer will be a compressed self-extracting archive. Move the file into a temporary directory and uncompress it by typing in the file's name and Enter.
- It should uncompress into a license agreement and an executable. Read the license agreement. Then, you want to extract the contents of the executable to your floppy disk. Do this by typing the filename A: and Enter. For example, if the file is called BIOS.EXE, then type BIOS A: and hit Enter. This will extract it to the A: drive.
- Place the floppy disk containing the new BIOS into the A: drive of the computer you wish to update. Reboot the system with the disk in the drive.
- Press Enter to go to the Main Menu. Select "Update flash memory from a file." Then select "Update system BIOS."
- When it asks you to type the file path, just press enter, tab, then enter again.
- Once the process is complete, remove the floppy and reboot the machine.
- As it boots watch the BIOS identifier to make sure the new version is actually being used. During boot, hit the appropriate key to go into the CMOS setup.
- Assign all of your settings. You can use the BIOS Guide, written by yours truly.
- Save your settings and reboot.

is it possible to flash update the bios using medium other than floppy disk like USb drives?… floppy is too unreliable medium for these senstive low level operations.

umm… yeah.. floppy disk are out of date.. i dont have the drive for one.
for some reason my drivers disappeared and i cant use any programs. the current drivers are the most recent ones for the mobo and components.
the computer has been running fine for the past year til now.
i tried reformatting the comp and installing a fresh copy of windows xp but when installing windows i keep getting the error that several files cant be copied from the cd to the computer (i can press enter to try copying again which it wont do or i can press esc to skip it but windows wont load.
i figured i need to erase and reinstall my bios through the setup menu but im having trouble figuring it out

When ESPN Picks there top players in the NFL and College Football they go with some big time analysts that have been in the game for decades. Vegas Sport Cappers have kind of copied ESPN Systems by combining the top football handicappers that have decades of experience as well to give out their NFL Picks. By combining the top cappers, just the same way that ESPN combined their analysts to give the best ESPN Picks, there is a better chance to get the NFL Picks Against The Spread and Predictions to be more accurate. Vegas Sports Cappers studies each type of NFL Odds, College Football Odds, USA Today Odds, CBS Sports Picks and of course ESPN Picks to help make there NFL Predictions to a particular game. Below you will see who are the top Vegas Sports Cappers Players that ESPN Picks will have to be the top guys.
Calvin Johnson of the Detroit Lions is a beast. And Vegas Sports Cappers have voted that ESPN will have him as the top of all ESPN Picks for Fantasy Football. At age 26 years old which is his peak years and as a prototype 6-5 and 236 Pounds look for Calvin to top last year's sick performance. He was the second overall pick coming out of Georgia Tech. He already has 5,872 yards receiving with 49 touchdowns. The NFL Spreads and NFL Odds will be created by how far he goes in performance. Look for the NFL Lines to be high when playing. Most notable, look for the football handicappers to give out very accurate NFL Expert Picks when Detroit plays.
See what kind of NFL Point Spreads the Lion's team will display before every game. This will help you figure out if the NFL Spreads are low, then bet on Detroit and if the NFL Betting Lines are high pick the under in the games. Most CBS Sports Picks will match the ESPN Picks as well as the Yahoo Sports Picks when it comes to predicting Calvin Johnson as the top fantasy football player in the NFL.
Sports bettors will be looking for the best of all ESPN Picks to make their sports bets. Look for ESPN to predict that Matt Barkley will be the top of all the ESPN Picks in terms of production. He will be the first pick of the draft in 2013. Look for Barkley to lead the Trojans to a BCS Bowl this year. Low for high College Football Spreads and many College Football Picks to favor Barkley and the Trojans.
Barkley can make all the NFL throws the NCAA Football Odds have them to be in the top 1o rankings. Vegas Sports Cappers have their NCAA Predictions for the Trojans to finish in the Rose Bowl in 2013. Even the Las Vegas Football NFL Odds agree with all the ESPN Picks and speculations toward Barkley.
When it comes to ESPN to make their ESPN Picks and predictions, their is no bettor network in making those NFL Picks and College Football Picks. The Vegas Sports Cappers team is just like ESPN when making winning NFL Picks against the spread and College Football Picks against the Spread.
