And now, they're coming for your Social Security money - they want your fucking retirement money - they want it back - so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street. And you know something? They'll get it. They'll get it all from you sooner or later. Because they own this fucking place. It's a Big Club: and you're not in it.

"Romney is absolutely right. And this means that taxes on corporations are taxes on people. I'm not getting at the subtle point—and I don't think Romney was either—that if capital is highly mobile internationally, a national government can't make capital bear much of the burden of taxes and so the incidence is on laborers and consumers. No, I'm making the simple point that a tax on corporations is a tax on people. I remember that in addressing the issue in the 1980s, the late Herb Stein said that it's as if people think that if the government imposed a tax on cows, the tax would be paid by the cows. Romney's passion and clarity on this are admirable. And until now, I've found little to admire in Romney. Now, the next step for him—which a patient in a wheel chair tried to help him see but he couldn't see—is to see that just as taxes on corporations are taxes on people, the war on drugs is not really a war on drugs: it's a war on people."
— Are Taxes on Corporations Taxes on People?, David Henderson | EconLog | Library of Economics and Liberty
Wonderful and so very thoughtful. But, by all means, let's make corporations full citizens. It's high time they were subject to the full tax burden of an individual; they should therefore be subject and required to pay an individual's tax rates, which, let's face it, will almost always be the top marginal rates: 35%. Good news there! They should have no problem with this change, as they are now American citizens and because it's just exactly what they claim they are paying right now. Win/win for Our New Corporate Citizens.
Likewise, any time a person dies or is injured at the hands of a corporation, it can be tried for murder or assault and, if found guilty, this personification of the corporation can be executed or incarcerated (barred from doing business in these United States) for a period of years. Or, if they prefer, the corporate board can stand for the sentence. It all makes perfect sense. After all, corporations are people too! I'm sure they'll welcome these changes.
After enacting House Bill 87, a law designed to drive illegal immigrants out of Georgia, state officials appear shocked to discover that HB 87 is, well, driving a lot of illegal immigrants out of Georgia.
Thanks to the resulting labor shortage, Georgia farmers have been forced to leave millions of dollars' worth of blueberries, onions, melons and other crops unharvested and rotting in the fields. It has also put state officials into something of a panic at the damage they've done to Georgia's largest industry.
Barely a month ago, you might recall, Gov. Nathan Deal welcomed the TV cameras into his office as he proudly signed HB 87 into law. Two weeks later, with farmers howling, a scrambling Deal ordered a hasty investigation into the impact of the law he had just signed, as if all this had come as quite a surprise to him.
The results of that investigation have now been released. According to survey of 230 Georgia farmers conducted by Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black, farmers expect to need more than 11,000 workers at some point over the rest of the season, a number that probably underestimates the real need, since not every farmer in the state responded to the survey.
Apparently the market-based solution involves pressing 2,000 unemployed criminal probationers into service. That ought to do it.
Next solution: Children ought to be allowed to "help out" and we can just let the market will decide if such labors are safe enough.
There's a lot I simply don't understand here, but let's talk for a second about the thing in bold. Forget all of the problems with the chart and sustained unemployment and people dropping out of the job market and people accepting lower pay or benefits and everything else that your red and blue chart doesn't address. That "steepest climb" you're talking about … that climb doesn't show job growth. Every one of those months shows continued job losses. And the time when the stimulus end?—that's the time where there is actual job growth. The chart, in other words, can tell a story that's exactly the opposite of what you're saying in bold.
Now, you can argue that the stimulus resulted in smaller job losses than there would have otherwise have been, or that the job growth at the tail end of the chart was sparked by the stimulus that preceded it—you can argue these things, but the chart doesn't prove these things. The chart is just data, with its flaws and limitations.
Seriously? Leaving aside the bit about your troubles with pesky "data", your expectation is that one month: catastrophic job loss. Next month: spectacular, robust return to full employment of the go-go days of old. In the history of the world, I challenge you to show me a recession that ended abruptly. The one you might point out is the one you also wouldn't want to mention, as it ended as a direct result of massive and sustained government spending (see: World War II, in which basically everyone in the country had a fake "government" job. How'd that work out for us?). They all end more or less like what we're seeing now, a gradual improvement in "bad" numbers, then progressive and building improvement on "good" numbers. Businesses don't simply rehire x-million workers overnight; in fact, they only hire when they absolutely have to, and are thus not typically leading indicators of a recovery. You'll recall that this recession was declared "over" in September of 2010.
Likewise, you can see the same trending in the diminishing output gap. I know, I know, more dread data. The Democrat and his empirical reality crap again. But it's a fact: the economy is improving, if slowly. It improved more quickly during the time of the stimulus. Were said stimulus still unspooling, we'd be seeing faster improvement now. The sooner we close said output gap, the sooner revenues improve and the sooner the deficit "crisis" is at an end.
The GOP, of course, knows this too. That's why they're riding this particular hobby horse so hard right now. It's the opportunity to jam their view of society down our throats while the public is scared and feeling serious economic pain. Once things noticeably improve there will be even less stomach for "shared sacrifice" at the hands of eviscerating the social safety net coupled to deep tax cuts for the rich. So, from their perspective it's now or never. That fact, as much as anything, is why they all voted for the Ryan plan. They see this moment as their last, best chance to end Medicare this decade.

Let me see if understand this: You originally posted a quote that suggested we're living in a conservative dream-world in which government has shrunk over the past two years, and that this has caused economic stagnation. Now you're arguing that things have gotten better these last two years because of Democrat policies. I don't think there's a consistency here, but I have to tip my hat to the partisan dexterity.
In, as Yglesias likes to say, a "decent world," we'd all agree that (1) a job loss chart can't tell the whole story of the economy, (2) the job loss chart doesn't reflect the number of people who have given up and dropped out of the labor market, and (3) throwing red and blue colors on a chart doesn't mean you've shown causation.
Nope. I'm pretty clearly pining for a world in which the media questions conservative desires and their likely outcomes based on real world observations. How's austerity working out in the UK? How's government-based job loss affecting our larger economy, re: the jobs chart? Why do you think more job loss at the hands of state and local cutbacks will magically create jobs when, in fact, more people will be out of work and have no money to spend in the broader economy? That sort of thing.
I'm also saying that in a world with larger implementation of "Democrat policies" that the jobs graph would look better than it does. That's not "partisan dexterity," it's cold reality. Government funded jobs are jobs. Period. People are employed to do something and receive a paycheck. That money feeds back into the larger economy. As the private economic situation improves, those government backed jobs can begin to taper. It's no coincidence that the steepest climb in that chart is also the period of highest government stimulus and the graph flattens as the stimulus ends.
Predictably, we're also seeing exactly this model play out in the auto industry. Government directly funds US auto companies. Those companies and their suppliers remain in business. People are employed. Conditions improve. Companies repay government and go their merry way. And but also: no Serious People seem to notice. Ever.
Far from it. The conservatives and their media enablers act as if none of this has transpired. Cuts today, cuts tomorrow, cuts forever! Couple that with some high income tax breaks and a ban on abortions and the country would start to grow again! Huzzah!

— Matt Yglesias, pining for a decent world. That sort of attention to detail would require the media to leave critical questions about Weiner's penis on the cutting room floor. I don't think anyone wants to live in an America that's like that.
— Kevin Roberts, spokesman for Chris Christie, responding to this clear misuse of a federally funded helicopter to fly Christie to his son's little league game.
Again: we're supposed to be happy that he didn't take the car to another, smaller helicopter that could then deposit him directly adjacent to his seat. Really, the only sensible way I see for him to claw his way out of this kerfuffle is through deep cuts to Medicaid and infrastructure investments concomitant with a hefty tax cut for the super-rich. It's the Serious Thing to do.
Turns out getting Chris Christie to little league games is a National Security Issue:
Gov. Chris Christie arrived at his son's baseball game this afternoon aboard a State Police helicopter […] the 55-foot long helicopter buzzed over trees in left field, circled the outfield and landed in an adjacent football field. Christie disembarked from the helicopter and got into a black car with tinted windows that drove him about a 100 yards to the baseball field.
I guess we should be happy the car didn't take him to another, smaller chopper that could land on the dugout or somesuch.
As for the chopper, it's one of two $12.5 million helicopters purchased for the state police. The intention was to use them for "homeland security duties and transporting critically injured patients."
GOP: trusted on the economy and National Security. Who among us doesn't rest assured that the GOP is always taking the common sense line on spending and the appropriate limits of government. Thank FSM that folks like Christie are out there on the ramparts, Defending Freedom with Our Tax Dollars.
Keep in mind, this is the guy the GOP Commentariat are begging to get into 2012. Need more helicopter fuel? Chris Christie suggests we cut Medicaid or dump infrastructure projects. These are, after all, the only reasonable, Serious Person approaches to funding the truly important things in life.

We have three questions for you, Braves fans.
1 — Where were you? At work? At home? Listening on the radio?
2 — Did you give up when they were down 8-0 in the second inning and miss the whole comeback?
3 — If you watched it, is this the greatest comeback you've ever seen? What others would you compare it too?
If you did miss it, Sport South will replay the game at 11 p.m. tonight.

Spondylolysis (spon-dee-low-LYE-sis) is a long word that means spine defect.
Children with spondylolysis have a problem in the bones (vertebrae) of their lower back. Doctors think the problem may be due to tiny cracks in the bones (stress fractures). Often too much use causes these cracks to develop over time. Usually this problem is not present when the baby is born (congenital).
Spondylolysis may lead to spondylolisthesis (spon-dee-low-lis-THEE-sis). Spondylolisthesis means spine slippage.
In a normal backbone, the bones are stacked on top of each other with disks in between them that act as shock absorbers. When one of the bones slides forward off the disk and onto the bone underneath it, it is called spine slippage.
These two conditions are the most common causes of ongoing (chronic) back pain in children. As many as 6% of children may have spondylolysis by the time they are 6 years old.
Children who take part in sports that require them to arch their backs a lot get stress fractures in the backbone more often than other children. Gymnasts, down linemen in football, volleyball players and swimmers who do the butterfly stroke are the most likely to have this problem.
Spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis are two of the conditions treated by the experts in our Spine Program.

The God who is love and family, who was born in a barn, is a God who is found, first of all, in our homes, in our families, at our tables, in sunrises, in our joys, and in our arguments. To be involved in the normal flow of life, giving and receiving, as flawed and painful as this might be at times within any relationship is to have the life of God flow through us.

Dear Miley. I can't stop listening to #GetItRight (great song, great message, great body), but maybe you need a quick grammar lesson. One particular line causes concern: "I been laying in this bed all night long." Miley, technically speaking, you've been LYING, not LAYING, an irregular verb form that should only be used when there's an object, i.e. "I been laying my tired booty on this bed all night long." Whatever. I'm not the best lyricist, but you know what I mean. #Get It Right The Next Time. But don't worry, even Faulkner messed it up. We all make mistakes, and surely this isn't your worst misdemeanor. But also, Miley, did you know the tense here is also totally wrong. Surely you've heard of Present Perfect Continuous Tense (I HAVE BEEN LYING in this bed all night long [hopefully getting some beauty sleep?]). It's a weird, equivocal, almost purgatorial tense, not quite present, not quite past, not quite here, not quite there. Somewhere in between. I feel that way all the time. It kind of sucks. But I have a feeling your "present perfect continuous" involves a lot more excitement than mine. Anyway, doesn't that also sum up your career right now? Present. Perfect. Continuous. And Tense. Intense? Girl, you work it like Mike Tyson. Miley, I love you because you're the Queen, grammatically and anatomically speaking. And you're the hottest cake in the pan. Don't ever grow old. Live brightly before your fire fades into total darkness. XXOO Sufjan

"Play and seriousness, the exuberance and superabundance of life, on the one hand, and the tense power of vital energy on the other, are profoundly interwoven. They interact with one another, and those who have looked deeply into human nature have recognized that our capacity for play is an expression of the highest seriousness." – Hans-Georg Gadamer
{Nietzsche - "Mature Manhood: to have found again the seriousness one had as a child - in play."}
"After two thousand years people still journey to Jesus. They bring a vaunting ego and last year's scar, one unruly hope and several debilitating fears, and unwarranted joy and a hesitant heart - and ask Jesus what to make of it. We have only gradually become aware of the hook in Jesus' promise, 'I will be with you all days, even to the end of the world.' This not only means that he will not go away but that we cannot get rid of him. He continues to roll back the stone from the caves we entomb him in."

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - Orders for long-lasting goods jumped in November, in data suggesting a surprisingly strong and broad increase in corporate spending, according to a report released Friday. The Commerce Department said durable-goods orders increased 0.7% in November, and importantly, the government upwardly revised October's reading to growth of 1.1% from a previously estimated 0.5% advance. Economists polled by MarketWatch had forecast just a 0.1% advance in November. A category known as core capital goods, which excludes aircraft as well as defense capital goods, climbed 2.7% in November, after a 3.2% pickup in October.

The Tsunami Warning System established under the auspices of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO in the Indian Ocean following the December 2004 disaster is functioning effectively.
This was demonstrated in a simulation exercise conducted on 9 and 10 September 2014, with the participation of 24 countries of the Indian Ocean Rim*.
According to the preliminary results of the simulated alert, all of the participating countries received timely tsunami advisory messages, and no delays were reported.
New York, 11 September 2014 – According to a new UNICEF report released today there has been progress in the health and well-being of children in South Asia over the last 25 years, but glaring inequalities remain.
"More than 2 million children in South Asia die from preventable causes before their fifth birthday ever year and more than 35 percent of the region's children have chronic malnutrition," said Karin Hulshof, Regional Director for UNICEF in South Asia.
Nasreena Ahmed recalls how, when she was younger, her family and neighbors on Ihavandhoo Island could rely on groundwater for bathing, drinking, and cooking. But years of population growth, ineffective sewage systems, and encroaching salt water have made the groundwater unsafe to use.

3 April, New Delhi: While countries in South-East Asia have made substantial economic progress, diseases such as dengue and malaria fuel a vicious cycle of poverty and have a significant impact on socioeconomic status of communities. These diseases are still killing thousands of people in the WHO South-East Asia Region. On World Health Day – 7 April – the World Health Organization is urging countries to prevent and control vector-borne diseases including chikungunya, dengue, kala-azar, lymphatic filariasis and malaria, among others.
Over 90 per cent of disasters around the world go unnoticed – in silence. These are too small, too inconvenient or too easily overshadowed by other events. But for the millions of people they affect, these disasters are not silent. Often, the people whose lives are changed by these recurrent disasters are already in vulnerable situations.

Francis' Favorite Films Of 2009 #6
The Coen Brothers' "A Serious Man"
Larry Gopnik is a professor. He is a professor with a lot of questions in his mind. He is being tested. He is the victim of the world's most cruel practical joke ever: his wife falls in love with Sy Ableman and kicks him out of the house, his son has attitude problems, his daughter is obsessed with getting a nose-job, he is being bribed by one of his students while at the same time, said student's father is threatening to sue him, and his tenure is in jeopardy because of some anonymous letters defaming him. The pivotal moment where you realize the world's kicking you in the ass… we've all been there.
Larry Gopnik seeks answers. He asks the help of three rabbis. Were his questions answered? Or is this just "The Uncertainty Principle" at work?
All we know for sure is this: Sy Ableman is a serious man.

The World's Greatest Producer of Cocoa
Fine or flavor. It sounds like a choice, right? When talking about cocoa–the bean from which chocolate is produced–the words fine or flavor (in Spanish it is termed "fino o de aroma") indicate a very distinct choice. But the choice is not as implied – between fine chocolate and flavor chocolate. In reality, the two are complements and your choice is really between chocolate that is fine and flavorful or chocolate that is a bit more ordinary.
Photo: Tourism Office of Guayaquil
The Big Deal About Chocolate
The old history of chocolate is the story of how people forgot where it came from. The recent history is about re-discovering its origins.
What you should know if you visit Ecuador is that, although this country does not produce an especially large amount of cocoa, it does produce the greatest volume of fine or flavor beans in the world.

Being a good digital citizen is vital to help you and your family stay safer online. Follow these six essential steps to protect your devices, information, and family on the Internet.
Keep all software (including your web browser) current with Microsoft Update.
Install legitimate antivirus and antispyware software, such as Microsoft Security Essentials. (If you run Windows 8 or Windows RT, you don't need Microsoft Security Essentials.)
Keep your firewall turned on.
Protect your wireless router with a password.
Don't put an unknown flash (or thumb) drive into your computer. If it has a virus, it could infect your computer.
Before you open an attachment or click a link in an email message, an instant message (IM), or on a social network, confirm with the sender that the message is legitimate.
Don't click links or buttons in a pop-up window that seems suspicious.
Learn more about how to defend your computer.
Before you enter sensitive data in a web form or on a webpage, look for signs—like a web address with https and a closed padlock () beside it—that it is secure.
Never give sensitive information (like an account number or password) in response to a request in an email message, IM, or on a social network.
Don't respond to pleas for money from "family members," deals that sound too good to be true, lotteries you didn't enter, or other scams.
Learn more about secure websites, how to recognize phishing email messages, links, or phone calls, and how to help protect your personal and financial information on the Internet.
Create passwords that are made up of long phrases or sentences that mix capital and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Use different passwords for different sites, especially those that keep financial information.
Use our password checker to learn how strong your passwords are.
Learn more about how to create strong passwords.
Discover what is on the Internet about you and periodically evaluate what you find. Cultivate a positive reputation.
Learn more about how to manage your online reputation.
Look for Settings or Options in services like Facebook and Twitter to manage who can see your profile or photos tagged with your name, control how people can search for you and make comments, and how to block people.
Do not post anything you wouldn't want to see on a billboard.
Be selective about the friends you accept. Periodically assess who has access to your pages, and review what they post about you.
Learn more about how to stay safer on social networking sites.
To make online safety a family effort, use a mix of guidance and monitoring with your children. Negotiate clear guidelines for web and online game use that fit your kids' maturity and your family's values. Pay attention to what your kids do and who they meet online.

Cruising Yachts Review
Cruising yachts are mainly used for competitive sport fishing and yachting races. They are also suitable for many forms of recreational activities and short family vacations.

Common cruising yacht sizes range between 25 and 80 feet, around 6 to 10 adults will be able to sleep on a cruising yacht. Twin inboard motors are the usual power source for cruising yachts and they have hydraulic steering. Cruising speeds of up to 20 miles per hour can be achieved with some models. They are designed, primarily, to meet the needs of the salt water fishermen. The amenities available for cruising yachts are numerous and depend onthe selections of the owner. Typical amenities are VHF radio, FU GPS, Furuno Radar, Compass, Robertson Auto Pilot navigation systems, built in entertainment systems, hot tub in the stern deck, washers, dryers, double heads, dual queen size staterooms, air conditioning and heat, bimini top bridge, swim deck and fully carpeted cockpits. For long range travel a practical amenity is a functional galleys that will have a range, refrigerator/freezer, ice maker, microwave oven, and a coffeemaker. Cabo Rico and Goetz are well known manufacturers for quality cruising yachts. Used models are available for around $200,000 and newer models will costs well over $2,000,000.

A Nice and Neat Recycling Solution:
Large (and Labeled) Wicker Baskets
Kitchen Inspiration
Cheers for a recycling setup that's not also an eyesore! Aspiring interior designer Sofia built this custom kitchen recycling station herself using large baskets and (what appear to be) chalkboard labels. The wicker looks so much better than plastic, and the baskets' uniform size really pulls it all together.
It even looks good from all the way down at the other end of the hallway! That's especially important when you can glimpse the kitchen from other areas of the apartment. Imagine how this would look if there were blue plastic buckets there instead, or a row of mismatched, rumpled bags. Not nearly as appealing, huh?
(Image: Andrea Sporacio, via this Apartment Therapy tour)
5 Comments
that is a genius solution. now i'm imagining all plastic public recycling bins being made to look like wicker! nice!
I would think you'd have to line the baskets with a waterproof, washable lining unless you are washing and drying everything you are recycling to prevent mold and smell. Looks awesome though.
Yeah SusanRN, I was going to say the same thing. Plastic is nice because you can disinfect it! Not to mention any beer bottles that haven't been properly rinsed will just leak the old beer into the wicker. Stink city.
Cute curtains!
Where are the curtains from? Love them!

Goldberg: Obama is out of options
After Pearl Harbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency changed. As he put it in 1943, "Dr. New Deal" had to be replaced by "Dr. Win the War." It was a colossal policy switch, but it wasn't an extreme makeover politically. He was still the same FDR, and the public understood the need for change.

Stayed here for one night. Owner is a friendly dude who you can have really good conversation with, says it how it is (especially if you want to talk about Indian politics). On the downside, his Dad is vile and rude. Avoid talking to him, and you'll have a pleasant stay at this guest house.

We got a room on the top that had about 40 degrees and the smell of the toilet was really, extremely bad that we were glad we booked the cheapest room that had a seperate toilet...when we told them that we are going for a boatride they brought us to a guy (we didn't ask for help) who wanted 2000 rupies(in the end we paid 150 for 2people alone on a boat). But the hotel owner was friendly when we had any questions...

Great place to stay in Varanasi. Great value for money, clean, not too far from the Gath's (15 minutes walking), free Wi-Fi (sometimes it just works on the first floor), the owner and his son are lovely people and will help you in anything you need to explore the city.

Open Mornings at Bridgnorth Endowed
Throughout October we will be holding open mornings for prospective parents to visit the school and witness the school day in progress.
The open mornings will be on the following days: 1st, 10th, 15th and 24th October at 8.45 or 9.45
For more information and to book an appointment please ring Mrs Beaman on 01746 762103
Best ever A level results for Endowed students,
out-performing many local rivals and colleges.
There was excitement at Bridgnorth Endowed School as A- level results were announced.
The school is pleased to announce its best ever A-level results. 46% of A-level students were A*- B grades (this is the Government School comparison measure at A-level)
Of particular note is Ben Leather who achieved 3A* grades in Chemistry, Maths and Physics and an A in Further Maths who is going on to study Physics at Manchester University. Top performing students include Ben Spicer A*, A*, A, A who is hoping to go to Warwick to study Maths; Laura Yates A*, A*, B, B who goes to Nottingham to study Business with French; Thor Preston A, A, A, B who is going to Imperial College to study Chemistry. Sean O'Gara A, A, A, C and Xusha Andrews with A, A, A, B also did fantastically well.
Mr Loveday offered his congratulations to both staff and students saying, "We are delighted at the achievements of our students. The students and staff have worked very hard and this shows in the fantastic results achieved. These results open up many exciting opportunities for our students many of whom will go on to University or begin their careers and we will continue to support them to be the best that they can be."
Bridgnorth Endowed School GCSE success
Following on from the best ever A-level results at Bridgnorth Endowed school last week, we are really pleased with the progress made by our GCSE students and especially delighted for the following students who have done fantastically well, amongst others:
Mary Spicer and Elliott Watters who achieved 11 A*/A grades; Imogen Edwards, Jess Knowles, Dom Wills, Callum Van de Weyer and Rebecca Wain who each achieved 10 A*/A grades, Nick Larsen and Tajwar Ahmed who achieved 9 A*/A grades and Meagan Broady who achieved 8 A*/A grades.
Mr Loveday, headteacher at the Endowed school, said, 'We have worked hard with the students over the last five years, preparing them for their exams and these students have done fantastically well, setting themselves up for the next stage of their education.' Many parents spoke to Mr Loveday on results morning, pleased with the performance of their child, but one parent's comment really summarised their thoughts, "The kids can work hard but without the care guidance and support and great teaching they get at the Endowed School my son would never have got close to these outstanding results."
'The data'
71% of students achieved at least 5 higher passes
Over 20% of all grades were at A* or A and almost 80% of all grades were at A* to C
58% of students achieved at least 1 A or A* grade with over a third achieving at least 2 of these highest grades and more than 1 in 10 students achieving at least 5 A or A* grades
97% of students achieved at least 5 passes at A* to G
English and Maths results were both above the National pass-rate of 62% for each subject.
Bridgnorth Endowed sixth formers raise the profile of the Bridgnorth Food Bank
Bridgnorth Endowed school 6th formers have been busy raising funds and collecting donations for their chosen Charity the Bridgnorth Food Bank. The whole school has supported this charity by holding an 'own clothes day', participating in the Bridgnorth Walk and donating food and toiletries. The final presentation afternoon took place on Friday with tutor group representatives 'handing over' donations to Liz Bird who came into school on behalf of the Food Bank. Liz bird also presented all students with a certificate of thanks.
Taste of Tanzania
An exciting event was held by the Bridgnorth Endowed School charity 'Taste of Tanzania' to celebrate the recent launch of their 'coffee bags'. Guests were tempted by a coffee cocktail to welcome them to the evening which was hosted by Peepo's Restaurant and attended by local business, charities and parents. 'Taste of Tanzania' is led by 11 enterprising sixth form students who are fortunate to be mentored by Carrie Bate of 'the little coffee bag co.' and Mrs Jo Jones who works with the Headteacher in developing the school partnership with Umonga Secondary School in Dodoma. Teacher, Jo Jones described the 'Taste of Tanzania' as a "Fantastic cause run by talented students." The company was created after the Year 12 students learnt of the hardships that orphans of Umonga Secondary school face every-day in trying to achieve an education. The children regularly go without meals and have to learn while being distracted by constant hunger. With this in mind the students decided that with every sale of their coffee they would be guaranteeing hot meals for the children in our partner school.
GCSE League tables show Endowed school students perform brilliantly for fifth consecutive year
Staff and students at the Endowed school were celebrating continued success when GCSE league tables were released last week. Head-teacher, Phil Loveday said, "every year the Government measures schools in more and more precise ways with the 'Best 8 value added measure' being the latest and most precise. It is a good measure because it takes into account student progress across a broad range of subjects including English, Maths, Science, a language, and a humanities subject. Last year we were disappointed with a blip in maths results following four years of fantastic results in this subject which makes such a great progress figure of over 1000 even more amazing. Achieving a 'best 8' result of over 1000 means that students make better progress at the Endowed than students nationally.

To do the cool things, you have to be logged in first.
I expected it. JB wasnt happy and he sure wasnt a poker player.He had Suns ball written all over him. He's an Arizona product. It didnt surprise me at all to see him do well against Phoenix in the Playoffs. It was a great move for two reasons. One, we have a little more wiggle room for whomever deserves it. Two, Bayless gets to go run wild in his prime, grab a few accolades along the way, but more importantly, gets spared the agony of wasting away on the bench. Matthews and Armon, need i say more. I think Cho knows what he's doing. Rudy, i guarantee you feels alot better. Least we forget, Cho is part of a team that brought OKC to the point where the media is audacious enough to mention them constantly... before us! We're ready though.
Yeah i totally agree with you plus he can play more of a sg with the hornets then here. Im also excited for Armon too since i think he can bring alot of talent to our back up pg spot, plus when babbitt is out there him and armon have that chemistry already. So all in all i think it was a very positive move for us but i still wish him the best of luck in the future.
I think it was a good move- we got something in turn for freeing up a spot. Bayless will fit better with the Hornets. Will miss his crazy drives though!!
Yeah deffianatley. I didnt think we could get a top 8 pick though for him thats pretty crazy.
I love this game.
Agreed! ^

navien and odr?Hi,customer wanted Navien Combi ch 240. We installed boiler as per manufacturers specs,primary/secondary,sch80 on exhaust,etc.
So the boiler has been running for a couple of weeks now and customer is very happy which is great.I asked a heating consultant I know to come and calibrate the boiler and test for efficiency.
By the way there is two heating zones with a taco switching relay and room thermostats.
Boiler was running at 83% eff.it condensed a little on fire up but after a few minutes it stopped condensing.So we installed ODR.Now boiler wont fire.
We call tech support.It appears you cant use the odr if you are using two zones .We are told that the remote control that comes with boiler has to be used as the room thermostat and then the odr will work as long as you have only one zone.
I went to a Navien class and this was never mentioned,we were actually told to put the remote inside boiler away from the homeowner.
I am not here to knock Navien,I would just like to know if anyone has had a similar experience or is there a way to correct the problem because right now I do not have a condensing boiler.

Makes No SenseThere is a TT connection at the boiler. It's nothing more then a switch to tell the boiler I need heat or I don't need heat. Should have no bearing what so ever with outdoor reset.
I would think you'd just set the programming to 24hr clock for heating, set your K-Factor, stick it in the cabinet, end switch from zone control to 'TT" on the unit and away you go.

I was disappointed alsoI did not realize this fact until after the install. Hopefully they correct this in the next version coming soon.

odrI know it doesnt make sense Chris.From what I am gathering from Navien (you get a different answer from tech support every time you call)the only way odr will work is by using the remote control as room stat,and this will only work on one zone.You can use odr but only on a single zone system.I am not knocking the product for what it costs it is great.I would just love to see it condensing a bit more.I am trying to get a rep to come to my job and correct the situation,obviously it is very possible I am doing something wrong.

Runs ODR with separate zones just fineWe have separate stats and the outdoor temp sensor and things work great.

odri dont understand why a tech support manager said it wont work on more than one zone if not using the remote.What temps is your boiler running at and did you measure the efficiency of the boiler.Without the odr the boiler i installed runs great it just goes to 180 etc.I have a navien rep coming this week so hopefully he can figure it out.I must say they do have a good support team behind them.

I don't know this boilerBut it seems that you can make this zone just fine even if it doesn't support both a heat demand input and the indoor feedback unit, just as long as you place the indoor feedback unit in your "most difficult" zone. This will then be the only thing that drives your system demand, and thermostats in other zones will only open zone valves for their zone without any feedback to the system. This is the same way TRVs are usually employed - since they don't have any end switches on them. :-)

Use the remoteSounds to me like you unplugged the Navien remote?
A DIP switch disables the navien remote as the room stat allowing a different input such as end switches or a aftermarket thermostat to be connected to R &W on the term strip. However the Navien remote must stay installed and plugged in as its the means of setting and controlling the ODR. If the remote is not plugged in to board, how do you expect to select and set the outdoor reset curve? This is done on the remote in place of a supply or return water temp setting.
Most installations leave it mounted close to the boiler. It will now be the means of dialing the domestic water temp, overriding the board settings.
It's quite simple to do and use.This post was edited by an admin on April 27, 2013 12:11 PM.

remoteI have in the past used this boiler with odr.This is why im boggled.Remote is plugged in.Boiler was runnig for 2 weeks.Went to install odr.boiler wont fire.we are told from navien,remote must be used as room stat in order for odr to work.one remote equals one zone.i used circs on this install and not zone valves.as i said i have rep coming this week so hopefully they can address the issue.Thanks for your input.

How mine is setupWe have the dip switches set to use external thermostats on ours. Have control unit mounted right beside our boiler and always keep on. Installed the thermo-resister outside and plugged into two wire cable for unit. Set the K-Curve based on the formula Navien customer support provided, which is not in the manual for some strange reason. Was pretty straightforward. Entire process took about 15-20 minutes for us.
On a side note, there are different resistances available on the sensors. Did you get the correct resistance sensor?
Do you have the dip switches set correctly?
As soon as the sensor was plugged in, the unit did its thing. If I can do it, anyone can.
Good luck with yours.

warmweather shut downA senior tech from California emailed and said you must use remote control as room stat when using odr.I did what you did homeowner and all is well,unit runs like a champ.Only problem is you cant raise wwsd past 65 degrees to test.Unit is in 3 months and havent had a call back yet,Thanks
HDE June 3, 2013 @ 12:07 AM

Just now?That's what I posted back on April 27th
But it's not the indoor stat, just a means of setting the curve, as long as DIP switch 3 of 8 is up (on). A external input on R & W is then the call for heat.

Navien NCB 240 zone controlHi everyone. I'm not a heating professional, just a home owner. I have an NCB 240 unit that has been running all winter without a thermostat. It runs a radiant floor system. I have been adjusting the temperature of the supply loop to manage our home temp.
I just installed a thermostat to control a pump on the supply side. The thermostat works and turns the pump on, and I turned dip switch 7 to the off position like the manual says to do when using zone control, but the unit never seems to fire up.
Am I missing something else that you need to do with zone control?
HDE February 24, 2014 @ 11:55 AM
Contact this user
Check your manual for wiring diagramOnce you switch from constant operation to a input required you need a signal from the zone panel to enable the heat wired to the TT terminals of the NCB

OddI have a couple of Navien combi units installed. I was a bit surprised to see a condensing boiler sold without ODR in the box. After doing a training on these boilers I can see that they are kind of dumbing things down for the American market, they seem to want to keep it simple and make this boiler an easy swap for a conventional boiler. I will say that the menu structure on the remote is not terribly elegant but the advice that it should be hidden from the end user (given in the training) I find a bit condescending. It certainly depends on the client but I generally work for intelegent tech savy people who I feel deserve the opertunity to understand how to operate thier boiler at it best efficiency.
To clarify a few things in the post. The remote is not an indoor "sensor" it is just an on/off thermostat. The boiler pump and burner are activated when the set point falls below target, if an outdoor sensor is installed supply is determined by the k-factor and outdoor temperature, if not supply is determined by the dip switch settings (it's fixed).
One notable think missing -The boiler has to be pumped P/S but there is no relay for the secondary pump. So if you want to do a single zone system running on the remote you will have to figure out how to turn the secondary pump on and off. My solution was to use an ECM pump that uses about 20 watts and run it continuously durring the heating season, it gets manually unplugged and plugged into a timer durring the summer (1 min. Day for exercise)
I'm a big believer in a tight reset curve (k-factor). I also feel that when you turn down the heat you should be turning down the reset curve as opposed to turning the boiler on and off. So I have instructed my clients (vetted for this ) to set the remote thermostat to 80 (constant demand) and slowly tweek the k-factor to find the setting that keeps the house comfortable. When they are away they set a lower k-factor as opposed to turning down the thermostat , I have also explaind that when they want the house to warm up quickly they can set the k- factor avove it's required setting to get hotter water flowing. Not for everybody and takes some patience to explain since it's so different from how most people are used to operating a heating system, but it works nice and the heating bills have gone down dramatically. Since these systems were originally multi zone I put a TRV's on the upstairs zone (directly in the baseboard). Most zoning is about balancing not the ability to heat one zone and not another, so I think the TRV is a fine substitute in most cases, it also helps with cycling which can be a real problem if a small zone is calling solo and you have a 105 target temperature. Bottom line is this boiler is priced very competitively but you have to kind of hack it's operating system to make it run like a European system.
Are you sure you can leave the remote connected, not use it's thermostat and still get the boiler temp to run on ODR with the TT ? , I was also under the impression this was not an option

I guess they do want to keep it simple, but they do not keep it simple enough.
When my mod-con was installed, the lead technician did not want to install the outdoor sensor, because it did not make any difference. Since it comes in the box with the boiler, I insisted that it be hooked up.
I had read the entire installation manual. So I was quite surprised that he used all factory defaults for the setup. I have an indirect across the supply and return of the boiler, and two heating zones that require different reset curves. The controller readily accommodates this, but he did not know how, so I told him. He also had no idea how to set the reset curves, even though it is explained in the manual, and there are no funny codes or anything: everything in plain English.
I figured out why he said outdoor reset did not make a difference. They tried to sell me an oversized boiler (they did not calculate the heat loss), and if I had taken their advice, the boiler would have come off the minimum firing rate only when the outdoor temperature was considerably below the actual design temperature.
So my boiler was not dumbed down enough for that technician, who also had no combustion analyzer. He did not need one because they are preset at the factory (or so he said).
Some contractors should not be selling mod-con boilers because they are too dumb to install or service one.

Thought it was strange they did not include it tooYes, before ours was installed, I read through the entire manual myself as well. Based on the advice of another installer up in Mass who had installed many of these, he recommended we got familiar with all of the dip switches, how to hook up the thermostats, get to the hidden settings and figure out my outdoor reset curve number to input into the controller. Good thing we did, because same story here, Being familiar ahead of time we got the unit up and running quicker.
We also did a heat loss on our home to ensure we would fit in the envelope of this unit, but very few installers were willing to do so. When questioning many installers, it was curious about how many had no software to do so, and just used a simple square footage general rule of thumb. You may get away with that for a modulating unit many times, but for the cast iron traditional boilers they were recommending mostly, it would have been grossly over-sized. We even told the guys giving quotes up front we thought the old unit was way too big due to short cycling observations.
Is that normal in this industry that most installers don't size units for a home and just go bigger or the same size as what was there?
Another curious thing was that most of the guys giving quotes just wanted to install a replacement cast iron boiler and not a lighter newer modulation condensing unit. Why would an installer prefer to lug down a 900 lb boiler down into a basement versus a 100 lb wall hung unit? That confused me. Why continue to break your back if you don't need to?
Well, so far so good with our Navien. We have the CH-240 but I think there is a newer one out now. So maybe they do things differently now with the outdoor sensor on that new unit. Have to check yourself on that one. A few of our neighbors now have one as well.

During a job interview several years ago, a newspaper editor asked me about my challenges as a reporter. I responded that I was really focused on writing well as opposed to simply writing fast.
I went to explain that I had always been able to pump out stories (aka quantity) but that it was also important to spend the time to provide insight (aka quality) and perspective. In today's fast-moving world, this approach is even more important for newspapers scrambling to stay viable.
I'm often reminded of this conversation when reading some of leading tech blogs (GigaOm, ReadWriteWeb, Mashable, TechCrunch, CenterNetworks), and looking at the number of post they churn out every day. The volume is impressive and, often, overwhelming.
While I'm by no means criticizing the quality of these blogs, I am interested in how the writers who work for these blogs operate. In an industry where being first has become important, there must be tremendous pressure to produce. I suspect some posts are written in a mad frenzy at any time of the day or night.
It reminds me of my short tenure with Bloomberg News where being first – even by seconds – over the competition (Dow Jones, Reuters) was paramount. One of the ways Bloomberg helped make this happen was something it called the four-paragraph lede in which you just had to insert the company's name, a short description of what happened, a quote and the stock price before hitting "submit".
It was formulaic and completely uncreative but it produced what Bloomberg wanted from its army of typists around the world.
I wonder if any of the writers hammering out multiple blog posts ever feel like they're on an assembly line? At some point, do the posts blur into each other when you may not have as much time as you'd like to write them?
Don't get me wrong, I think blogging for living is a wonderful thing if you love to write. The variety, being part of the action, and working from home – or the local Starbucks – is not a bad way to make a living.
But it can also be a grind because, after all, these kind of blogs are businesses, and the belief is the more posts you write, the more traffic you get.
More: MG Siegler, who blogs full-time for Venture Beat, has some thoughts on blogging for a living. For more insight into the world of pro-blogging, check out ReadWriteWeb, which asked 20 top-tier tech bloggers and social media consultants to disclose how much they get paid, by the post, by the hour or by the month, etc. Apparently, the going rate for a blog post is $25 which explains why pro-bloggers are pumping out so many posts.
