November is upon us, and Mother Nature has been smiling on Southwest Colorado. We have gotten some wonderful storms: just enough snow to coat the mountains, followed by beautiful sunshiny days that entice any one looking out a window to go out and enjoy.
Skiing in the San Juan Mountains is an amazing adventure, made perhaps even more of a once in a lifetime experience due to the reputation for extreme avalanche danger. The Ouray Nordic Council works through the winter months to maintain wondefulyy groomed trails, and maintain the most up to date information on the conditions of popular winter sport areas. Following a brautifully groomed trail does not in any way depreciate the wonder of the San Juan skiing or snow shoeing experience.
A division of the Ouray Trail Group, the Nordic Council is a group of families and individuals dedicated to maintaining not only the Ironton Park Trails, but a varity of other trails in the Ouray North Corridor to be accessible for winter recreation. Through the support of these families and local businesses, Ouray County can boast a variety of scenic areas for snow shoeing, cross country skiing, and other winter sports.
Of course, anyone can help. For a very small annual fee, you can become a member of the Ouray Nordic Council. Not only will you be helping to maintain the trails we all enjoy, membership has other benefits. The opportunity to win some great prizes not the least of which.
This year, the annual Nordic Council Dinner is going to be an event worth attending:
Incredible food (with 14 local restaurants contributing)
Great beverages
$4 Wine
$4 Beer from Colorado Boy Pub & Brewer
Prize drawings for all
Become a member of the Ouray County Nordic Council & be eligible to win…
The Nordic Ski Package from Ouray Mountain Sports
The Ski Hut Trip from San Juan Huts
Not only does the Nordic Council focus on providing safe, well maintaned trails for skiers and snow shoers, they also focus quite seriously on the safety of every individual who chooses to adventure in the San Juans. Avalanche safety is tantamount to their mission, and members are eager to share safety tips as well as the optimal skiing and snowboarding options given the time of your visit.
Regardless of whether you choose to join, be sure to always check with them prior to going on an expedition. The best part of a trip in the high country is to go to a spot that is at its peak for whatever activity you have in mond.
At the Box Canyon Lodge & Hot Springs, our goal is to help every one of our guests enjoy the beauty of Ouray and the surrounding area safely. There is of course, no comparrision to a long soothing soak in one of our mineral hot spring tubs following a morning spent in the peaceful splendor of one of our awesome Cross Country Ski trails.
Let us help you to enjoy everything the San Juans have to offer, as you enjoy a special getaway of perhaps one day, or longer.
The beautiful autumn leaves are tumbling to the ground and the first snows of winter have blanketed the landscape around Ouray, Colorado. We know what that means... OURAY ICE CLIMBING SEASON IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER! If Mother Nature cooperates, the Ouray Ice season begins on December 14, 2013. I would like to offer a hearty Colorado welcome to our winter visitors.
If you love winter and all of it's activities, this will be the year to spend some time in Ouray. As Manager of the Ice Park, I spend countless hours studying weather models, forecasts, and predictions for the season so we can plan our operations accordingly. Every model at my disposal suggests perfect conditions for the winter sports enthusiast. We have enjoyed a tremendously wet fall. This translates to a very healthy water supply for the ice making operations at the Ouray Park. The world renown backcountry climbs in our region have more water than I have seen in years. Park visitors can expect several new routes this year. We are opening up some terrain that has never seen routes before too. I think they will offer excellent beginner/ intermediate climbing. Exact details will remain top secret until we begin releasing photos as the season draws near.
With significant support from the American Alpine Club & the Access Fund, Park guests venturing to the south end will enjoy new toilet facilities. These babies will be the flagships of the San Juans. One will be located in South Park above the slab routes and the other will take up residence at the top of New Funtier. The Ouray Ice Park is grateful for strong partnerships with these incredible organizations. Consider joining each today!
The Ouray Ice Park Kid's Wall is getting a second pitch! OIPI has been working closely with the County and City to improve drainage at the base of the Kid's Wall. Historically, our water has run onto County Road 361 (the Upper Bridge) causing serious issues for vehicular traffic. We were able to excavate most of the grassy slope at the base, adding about 20 feet of additional climbing to these routes. No more death slog for the little ones trying to get to the ice climbing. I suspect the only issue remaining for the kidos will be fending off the adults who wish to enjoy this excellent terrain.
Lastly, in an effort to gain a better understanding of Park use. OIPI has worked closely with the City of Ouray and San Juan Mountain Guides (OIP Concessionaire) to create a group use registration procedure. Our goal with the procedure is to gain a better understanding of who is using the Park and for what reasons. We absolutely DO NOT wish for this process to be limiting or cumbersome for our valued guests. We have also beefed up our Ice Farming staff. In addition to creating more high quality ice to climb these lads will be present in the Park connecting with the community. When you visit with one our crew please offer them a ride on your rope, bend their ear, share your likes and concerns regarding the Park experience. They are there for you. The Farmers will also be able to connect with most registered groups to ensure they are enjoying a positive outing.
As the sun rises on another season at the Ouray Ice Park, please remember it is FREE to use but not to operate. The Park is 100% donor supported. The local business community in Ouray is incredibly generous every year to ensure you have a great place to recreate. Please consider doing your part; patronize the local businesses that support the Park and remember to become an Individual Ice Park Member each year. I look forward to seeing every one of you in Ouray this winter. Please stop by the Ice Park hut near the Upper Bridge, I'm serving locally roasted coffee from the Exotic Earth.
Happy Trails,
Kevin Koprek
Manager, Ouray Ice Park

Looking out the window as the Fall leaves play in the breeze, my mind scurries with them, dancing along in anticipation of winter and the holiday season.
Halloween jumped out so quickly it seemed, October had only just begun and is now almost over! With the arrival of November, many of the shops on Main Street have already begun to prepare for the upcoming holiday season. And what a season it should be!
Recently, it occurred to me that I had not walked Main Street lately. Like so many others, I had begun to be a slave to advertisements of "Rollbacks" and double coupon days. Prepackaged gift baskets that involved little thought and brand names easily recognizable had become a shopping norm.
Then, I walked into the first shop on my stroll along the few short blocks of Main Street in Ouray.
The Blue Pear is a tiny shop with a giant heart. When you look through the door, it is easy to think there can't be much there, but upon entering, immediately I saw how wrong I was. The walls are lined with an amazing variety of items. From handcrafted jewelry, glassware, candles and soaps to mugs and notepads with funny little sayings, just the first couple of feet into the store can take quite some time for gazing at the treasures to behold.
Specializing in "Self Indulgence", there were at least a dozen items both original and affordable that I would have loved to take home with me that very moment. Thats not including a plethora of gift ideas that would be perfect for those loved ones I always struggle with during the holidays. And she hasn't even gotten all of her Christmas orders yet! "I Love the Holidays!" Michelle, the owner, smiled "and I will gift wrap anything, I love wrapping presents!" looking at some of the lovely gift wrapping materials she carries, I completely understood her passion.
With my list of gift ideas growing by the moment, I walked out of the Blue Pear and wandered across the street to the Buckskin Booksellers, and again was not disappointed.
I love book stores. Walking into Buckskin Booksellers, the familiar feel of the written word surrounded me, and immediately I picked up a photographic journey through Southwest Colorado. But there is much more to this book store than books about the area.
A large section of novels and recommended reading , as well as a section dedicated to local authors is accented with card racks, popular paperbacks and audio books. The childrens section is a virtual paradise of beautiful illustrations and wonderful trips for the imagination of any child on your list.
A corner of the shop is dedicated to the mining history of Ouray, featuring some beautiful artifacts as well as old books; and Robert, the owner, proudly displays his amazing sand bottles. He recently met his 'creative twin', he says, in an Austrian who creates sand art as well, and Robert displays this art beside his own. How fun to be able to purchase original works of art so similar and yet different, created by like minded artists thousands of miles apart!
Any book can be ordered if Robert doesn't already have it in his store, he is quick to provide guidance to whatever you may be looking for with a pleasant, non-invasive demeanor perfectly suited to a wonderful book shopping experience. I could spend the entire day in this store just reading the jackets and choosing a book or two.
Alas, it was getting late in the day, and I had not even walked an entire block! I resolved to start earlier the next day, but still wanted to catch at least one more shop before dark.
Weaving across the street again, I found myself in front if High Country Leather. I hadn't even left the sidewalk, and already found myself checking out a variety of items on display outside the store. Walking up the stairs, there was a tiny taste of what was to come, with a sale rack and a selection of hats and shoes.
High Country Leather does indeed carry leather. Bags, jackets, belts and hats made from the finest quality leather, in addition to a variety of moccasins and slippers in an assortment of styles mesh with wool hats and socks.
It is close to impossible not to try on a hat or two. Whether you lean more toward the beautifully crafted cowboy hat, or a gloriously colorful cap with ear flaps, there is a hat for you. Sheepskin gloves so soft you don't want to ever take them off tempt from the side, and the bags! Even if you're not a huge purse person, these are like little works of art you get to carry on your arm!
The wonderful sense of humor and style of Kathy, the owner gleams from every corner, particularly the back room, and of course, the magnets. Taking a group of friends into High Country Leather can turn into at least several minutes of giggles, as everyone trys one of the crazy hats combined with a pair of Elvis style sunglasses. It is not unusual for a group to head over to the Buen Tiempo garbed in bright silly hats from the back room.
It is hard to visit every store on Main Street and truly see everything each one has to offer in just one afternoon. Not only are there a variety of one of a kind articles in each store, the prices are genuinely not too high. So often, the small individually owned shops are forced to raise prices in order to stay in business, but not so much here in Ouray.
So next time you are visiting, make it a point to spend some time on Main Street. The treasures in each store combined with friendly service make for the perfect shopping experience! Once you have gathered all of your purchases, relax in the mineral hot springs for the perfect day of relaxation!
There are a variety of fabulous dining establishments in Ouray, and at the Box Canyon Lodge & Hot Springs, it is our job to guide our guests to the one most suited to their expectations.
Our job just got a lot easier!
Sid and Kelly Cavallo have truly outdone themselves with their new restaurant which proudly bears their name. Offering breakfast and lunch with a distinct Cajun style, Cavallo's has already filled a niche in Ouray's dining world.
Located at 630 Main Street on the lower level, the restaurant has been lovingly redecorated in a Classic Garden Theme by Kelly, a perfect compliment to the culinary delights created by Sid. Cajun food has a reputation for being spicy, but not so, insists Chef Sid. The perfect Cajun dish is full of flavor, not spice, and he demonstrates this truth with dishes from traditionally recognized biscuits and gravy to a decadent twist on eggs Benedict.
Lunch is an adventure your taste buds will be ready to repeat with salads and shrimp po'boys just the tip of the iceberg.
Not only has this town been gifted with a fun new dining option, every dish is prepared from scratch, using local produce as often as possible. A cup of chicory blend coffee freshly roasted by local coffee company Exotic Earth is a great compliment to any breakfast choice. Lunch can't get much better when paired with one of a rotating selection of micro brews provided by local breweries Mr. Grumpy Pants (Ourayle House), Ouray Brewery and Two Rascals.
Open seven days a week from 7:00 am to 2:00 pm, Cavallo's is a definite must during any visit to Ouray.
Throughout the month of November, and hopefully the entire winter, Cavallo's will be serving dinner and entertainment on select evenings. From movie night, to improvisational jazz guitar, with preset menu options that change every week, there is a whole new reason to visit Ouray this winter!
November 21, 2013, don't miss the Farm to Table Harvest Dinner! A collaboration of ideas between Kat Papenrock from the Ouray Chamber and Resort Association, Kris Dunham from Kristopher's Culinaire, and of course, Sid and Kelly Cavallo, the menu is sure to be a treat
Tuesday, November 5, 2013 is the first Tuesday Night Dinner! Every week promises a new and exciting preset menu, with vegetarian and gluten free options available as well. But Wait! What would Tuesday Night Dinner Cavallo's style be without music? Ben Gaude is a Jazz and Blues guitarist from New Orleans who has traveled with several bands in Colorado and New Mexico, guaranteed to be the perfect compliment to a terrific meal!
Friday, November 8, 2013 is the first Friday Night Dinner & a Movie! Thats right, doors open at 6:00 pm, and once all the dinner orders are in, sit back and enjoy a new film every week as you enjoy an excellent meal, local beers and the company of friends old and new.
With so much going on and so many great dining opportunities, it's no wonder Cavallo's has already become so popular.
At the Box Canyon Lodge & Hot Springs, we are always excited to inform our guests of fun and exciting events in Ouray, and it looks like there is definitely a new spot to be this winter!

French maids and skeletons will be in attendance as revelers choose the perfect location for a evening of entertainment. The haunted history of Ouray comes to life in two of the most spectacular historic venues on the Western Slope.
Built in the 1800's as the first luxury hotel in Ouray, The Beaumont played host to a variety of notable historic icons. In the 1960's, the hotel was boarded up for over thirty years. The reasons for its closure vary depending on who you ask, which is a decadent feast for the imagination.
Today, the property has been restored to its former grandeur; a perfect place to walk into history and enjoy the perfect Halloween Ball. With a live Deejay, psychics and costume contest, the annual Halloween Ball is ideal for an evening of grown up fun.
Entry is $5.00 per person, adults 21 and over only, and costumes are required.

You can't rent this one and enjoy it at home, it must be experienced with the energy and enthusiasm of a crowd. After the show, stay on at the Wright to finish of the night dancing and reliving the movie with friends old and new.
The show starts at 10:00pm, but doors open at 9:30pm. Admission is $15.00 per person, or $25.00 for couples. This film does contain adult content, and is not reccomended for children, or those easily offended.
Happy Halloween! October 31 at 7500 feet can be a little bit chilly for Trick Or Treaters, so what better way to warm up than to take a trip through the Elks haunted House.

Since opening their doors just a few years ago, O'Briens Pub & Grill has quickly become the local hang out and a haven for ice climbers and atheletes, offering good food at reasonable prices and an after hours bar often featuring live music performed by local artists.
Halloween in particular is a great time to experience the Pub. Once the kids have had their Trick or Treating fun, and are safely in bed with the babysitter watching over them, get that costume out and get yourself to a night of scary fun and dancing o the musical mixing of DJ Sunday. Crowds of fairy princesses and gory goblins join together on the dance floor in expectation of the best costume prizes.
Drink specials will be offered to warm you up in between dancing and chatting with old and new friends at the Best Halloween Party around! There is no cover charge, just come on in and have a great time!

I came back to the game after a break when my 2nd daughter was born and I pumped my warrior up pretty well. He went from all blues/greens and 1 purple (he had done a few runs of Kara as OT) to only 2 blues left in just 4 weeks. Lots of Kara and did ZA every reset those last 3 weeks. My guild all knew I was having a great time w/him and planning to hit 80 on him and tank for us.
I also really wanted to check out the DK but not do a full re-roll, so I got to L70 on my DK 5 days after launch, then hopped on my Warrior and started rolling thru zones. Now I'm in a guild full of altoholics. Very few of us stick very well to any one toon. Heck, I recently hit 80 on my 5th. I did a little bit on each of several characters, made sure I got the initial trip to Northrend, updated their tradeskills and got those lower 5 FPs so they could easily travel when I decided I did want to play them.
All of a sudden, all of these eople in the guild that 2 weeks ago I couldn't have PAID to tank are talking about how awesome tanking is and how they're going to tank now. By the time I was at L73 (which was only about a week and a half into the xpac) we were already showing ourselves to be short on healers so, more than a bit annoyed, I switched and leveled my Priest.
Leveled him up as Disc, went really fast and started healing Naxx runs. Of course, by then we were having people fighting for healing spots and were somehow really light on ranged dps, so I went back to my original shadow spec. Once duals kicked in I went shadow / disc dual and I've been very happy....even if lately the Ulduar runs almost always need me to heal instead of lovely shadow damage *sigh*

There is a distinct Welsh national pride and it is obvious in this region of Wales. A seat of religion and learning for more than 400 years, Bangor is known in the tourist brochures as an ancient cathedral city, which it is, while at the same time being a delightfully friendly, small town with about 15,000 inhabitants. What it lacks in size it makes up for in its strong sense of community and its residents' orientation to the outdoor life.
There are a variety of ethnic restaurants from Indian to Italian, numerous pubs and cafés, a cinema and a theater. A mile from town is the Telford Bridge, gateway to the Isle of Anglesey, which has some beautiful beaches. And you are not far from Holyhead, the ferry port for boats to Dublin. And of course, there are the endless outdoor possibilities waiting in Snowdonia National Park, one of the UK's most rugged and beautiful national parks.
London and Edinburgh are accessible by train and Dublin is less than two hours away by ferry. Additionally, the cities of Manchester and Liverpool, which offer great concerts, premier football matches, and lively shopping venues – are only two hours by train.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Lots more snow throughout the night, woke up to find a thick blanket of white. Apart from the cold it's actually quite nice here when it's like this. Magical elves do a great job of clearing the roads and pavements so getting out and about is much less of traumatic experience than it could be. Rather than let the weather spoil things, we did what the locals do and just wrapped up warm and got on with our day. Took a stroll into the city to visit the food markets dragging our little trolley through the slush. Bit of an effort but worth it when we treated ourselves to a luscious glass of gluhwein, giving us just enough warmth for the journey home.

Acidic Drinks Can Damage Kids' Teeth Permanently, Expert Warns
(HealthDay News) -- Eating foods with less added sugar can lead to a healthier smile, especially among children, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics says.
The group offers this advice:
Limit how often you snack. The carbs in many foods may combine with mouth bacteria to damage teeth -- 20 minutes or more after you've finished eating.
Enjoy a well-balanced variety of healthy snacks, such as raw fruits and veggies, popcorn, low-fat cheese, plain yogurt and milk.
Avoid sugar-rich foods and beverages that take time to dissolve in your mouth, such as hard candies and sugary drinks.
After snacking, brush your teeth.

Chapter 5 - Sleepy Sunrise0 Reviews
When Will was asleep, he would roll onto his stomach, half on top of Jack, an burrow into Jack's shoulder like a small kitten. The lantern light would flicker in an unfelt caress, highlighting the bronze plains and valleys of Will's powerfully muscled body. Small scars and imperfections in his body were erased by tender shadows and fairy kisses.
As Will first awoke in the morning, he would first burrow farther into Jack, as if denying the dawn. Then, he'd inhale Jack's spicy scent and blearily blink open his eyes to sleepily meet the smilingly dark eyes of his love. A slow sleepy kiss, filled with affection, was given and received before both rose and slid into the previous night's hastily discarded trousers. Sun browned hands intertwined as bare feet padded out on deck to watch another sunrise, secure in the knowledge that, like the sun, their love would burn forever.

RSG Sailor, a Native New Yorker, Has Retirement Flag Flown at 9/11 Memorial
GROTON, Conn. - A Regional Support Group Sailor, a native New Yorker, had his retirement flag flown at the 9/11 Memorial on Jan. 31 to mark 20 years of honorable service in the U.S. Navy.
Electronics Technician 1st Class (SS) Luis Maldonado, born in Bronx, New York, entered the U.S. Navy at the age of 19 during Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Maldonado chose to have his flag flown over the memorial to honor not only his service, "but to honor the brave public servants who sacrificed their lives in the Sept. 11 attacks, and to pay homage to all the victims."
"At the time of the Sept. 11 attacks I was at the mid-point in my career," said Maldonado. "While I was angry with what happened to my nation, I was determined to fight back like everyone else, so I decided to reenlist."
Fast forward a decade; Maldonado sits exactly at 20 years of honorable service to his nation. In less than a month, Maldonado will hang up his Navy uniform for the last time. However, before transitioning, he wanted to commemorate his retirement in a unique way. At the same time, he wanted to remember a watershed moment that occurred during his service.
Maldonado was accompanied to the memorial by his mother Evelyn Maldonado, and his wife of 12 years, Kimberly (Struthers) Maldonado, who also retired from the U.S. Navy. Prior to Kimberly's retirement, she served on the staff of Commander, Submarine Group 2. To pay respects to both their services, her flag was also flown over the memorial.
"It's really for both of us to pay our respects and to tell all that died that we haven't forgotten them. We still feel their pain and will stand steadfast in our resolve. We will never forget," said Maldonado.

The host of Premiere Radio Networks' "After Midnite With Blair Garner" will be releasing an album featuring the country music stars he's had on his syndicated program over the last few years. "Beyond The Hits: 20 Years From Country's Top Stars" will be available January 10th from Blair's production company Tripower.
Artists featured on the album include Rascal Flatts, Carrie Underwood, Alan Jackson, Miranda Lambert, Luke Bryan, Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley and many more of country's biggest stars.
"It's no understatement to say I am a fan of country music," said Blair. "Not just a fan of the artists, but a fan of everyone involved: the songwriters, musicians, producers, all of it. Obviously not all the songs get the spotlight of being a single; it just doesn't work that way. Because of that I think some songs may not get their fair share of attention. Beyond The Hits looks to change that. We want fans to realize the sheer depth and brilliance of these artists. Every cut on Beyond could have been, in my opinion, a number one. I'm just lucky to be the guy to bring them to light."
The album will be available for $9.99 on iTunes on January 10th. A portion of purchases will go towards various charities he supports in the United States.

I think we'll see some great synergies that other classses can get from "off-spec" classes. There is a BC pally talent in the retribution tree that makes sanctity aura not only increase holy damage by 15% (total) but also adds an increase to healing by 6%. You group that paladin with some priests and they've 6% more to healing! That's like adding 2 talent points to the increase healing talent. (I'm not too sure on the exacts of the talent, since we haven't really played with it yet).
Those synergies create higher level of efficency than straight-up raid specs for everyone. I mean, what's the use of having all priests with the Spirit buff? that's inefficient!
And damage meters/higher dps is crap if you can't keep your toon alive and follow strategy. I'd take a great off-spec player over a bad raid-spec player.
It really comes down to how good everyone is at playing. What gets you progressing through instances faster is how quickly everyone learns what to do. Also, I've noticed that a good raid/guild leader in vent/t.s. goes a long way to downing bosses. Essentially, there are much bigger factors to raid success than your spec.
This game is way too forgiving to really demand everyone be a certain spec.

very useful information
@ June 26, 2014 1:12 PM in Initial target Flow Rate calculationsHowever, H.R.'s connection scheme isn't discussed, just top left to bottom right and bottom left to bottom right. Also, figures 15 and 16 reveal an impact on surface temperatures due to these flow distributions.
rad average tempreture
@ June 25, 2014 1:18 PM in Initial target Flow Rate calculationsAre the rads really going to have a 170 degree average? The supplies and returns are adjacent, how do the rads channel water through the sections? Are you converting from steam?
what kind of layout
@ May 26, 2014 2:04 AM in Home Run vs. "Stacked" Home Run for 3 Storey HomeWhat was the previous piping configuration like? None of of this is all or nothing. You could have copper in the basement with a transition to pex snaking up through the floors. You could have multiple manifolds distributed around the basement. In general though, take advantage the inherent qualities of radiators. This type of system can frequently operate at a high delta t which requires low flow. And low flow favors smaller piping.
electric rates
@ May 22, 2014 1:40 PM in Time to pull the triggerHow does electric compare to LP on a btu to btu basis there? There was a poster on this forum that had significantly cheaper dual fuel electric rates vs LP.
@ May 22, 2014 12:35 PM in Home Run vs. "Stacked" Home Run for 3 Storey HomeTo answer your question, no i've never done anything that involved multiple remote manifolds.
In a typical home run system, the pressure drop across each heating element loop is equal. If you chop up the manifold and put part of it in different locations, the delta p drop will vary between the manifold sets. The piping out to the remote locations makes up the difference.
@ May 21, 2014 1:12 PM in Home Run vs. "Stacked" Home Run for 3 Storey HomeI think ideally, it's still about the same number of connections? (12 versus 10)
But if one is using pex and varying the pipe size, the inventory list becomes quite complex. And the larger diameters toward the ends are more likely to require elbows at bends. The connections tend to be in awkward places that frustrate the inexperienced, etc... lots of reasons someone might prefer a manifold in a given situation. Not that I'm advocating one way or the other. I feel like in a retrofit one would want to do whatever method works with the least destruction. In that context, the cost of the manifolds might not be significant, or may end up lowering the cost of the project.
no direct control
@ May 20, 2014 1:52 PM in Time to pull the triggerThere isn't a tight control on the water temperature. It's constantly rising or falling around the set point. The swing in temps is kept within reason by a differential value. A small modulating boiler can make good use of a tight differential, keeping a more even output to the floor. A bigger fixed fire boiler would make better use of a larger differential to prevent excessive cycling.
@ May 20, 2014 12:41 PM in Time to pull the triggerThermostat calls for heat. --> Boiler fires, heating water to the set point which may be adjusted according to the outside temperature if an ODR is used.
A modulating boiler would throttle back as it approaches the set point. There is no link between the thermostat and the set point. The set point is something you would program as part of the installation and probably adjust later if required.
Is there insulation under the slab? --something other than bubble foil like product?
I would expect
@ May 20, 2014 12:34 PM in Home Run vs. "Stacked" Home Run for 3 Storey Homeone to downsize tubing and manifold diameters if possible.
So maybe one could use something like a wirsbo junior manifold.
And of course smaller pex is easier to work with.
Generally, distributing the manifolds avoids having huge unmanageable bundles of pex coming together at one spot blowing out all the studs. Even 3 rads requires 6 runs of fairly large outside diameter tubing. (The stated diameter is for the inside --1/2 inch is more like 3/4 inch, requiring an even bigger hole.)
But if you're using the existing rads in place, perhaps it's best to using the piping layout that was originally employed?

small load systems with CI boilers
@ May 4, 2014 2:48 PM in List of small mod/consCan any of those tank in tank water heaters be used for both hydraulic separation and load buffering? The primary fluid storage is often quite a bit. The brochure for TT's multi energy series, for example, seems to illustrate several examples where the tank is acting as the hub for the system. But that tank comes with an extra coil for solar, etc, it's not a basic model.
1700's basement
@ April 30, 2014 12:16 AM in Can Air Source Heat Pump Sit under the house?Tell us about your project. The house originally dates back to the 1700's? At some point steam was installed?
not possible, floor is not working
@ March 29, 2014 12:59 AM in Infloor Radiant Heat issue55 kilowatt hours for a month is roughly equivalent to the output of a 75 watt bulb. At an average temperature of 11 degrees F, it's clear the floor is not working. Did your guests turn up the thermostat for the rinnia?
Do you have enough propane to run the system for over a month?
What is the radio control unit that you spoke of?
zone hand-off
@ March 22, 2014 12:40 AM in Please critique this designZone hand-off is the opposite of what all these sync systems are trying to accomplish. The goal is to prevent dispersed calls for heat and always fire into as much of the radiation as possible.
A hand-off strategy could only make sense if the mod/con was forced to operate at a fixed setpoint. In this case, even though the burner can modulate, the emitters can not, creating a mismatch between the house's true demand and the systems output.
In a nutshell, it's better to fire 10k total into all the radiation all the time, as opposed to firing 10k into one zone at a time. The latter requires higher setpoints, increases temperature swings in the zone, and reduces the connected load to the boiler which increases the cycle frequency.
zone sync
@ March 21, 2014 1:21 AM in Please critique this designThe Tekmar system syncs the zones at the beginning of the cycle. The thermostats also provide indoor feedback to an ODR module, which adjusts the setpoint to match the loads at the minimum supply temp, and automatically adjusts the differential if required.
The Honeywell system is probably very similar but I have not read up on it as much.
As far as I know, there is no zone sync method that uses a hand off strategy, though. That wouldn't make sense if the system is in control of the supply temps and is allowed to adjust them to optimally match the emitters.
It would be interesting to see someone install an indoor feedback system, they seem pretty rare.
@ March 20, 2014 12:53 AM in PexWhat is the pert stuff like to work with? What's the advantage?
delta control apparently only goes to 25
@ March 19, 2014 1:46 AM in Please critique this designA forum member named smihaila asked Lochinvar detailed questions about some of the more advanced pump control features on the boiler you are considering.
From a post titled: Some answers from my Canadian Lochinvar rep
Q3: What fine-tune parameters are available in the "Smart Control" logic
for the customization of the "Const Delta-T" operation which seems to
be supported via "0-10V BLR PMP OUT"?
A3: The Knight Smart System controller will always try to maintain a 20F Delta T (Default) but has a range from 15 – 25 using the PC Software.
boiler pump
@ March 18, 2014 1:42 AM in Please critique this designThe boiler pump would be configured to always run with the system pump somehow?
@ March 18, 2014 12:36 AM in system advicehePex, even with its o2 barrier is not truly oxygen tight. PAP is 100% tight. PAP also moves less than regular pex due to its stiffness and substantially less coefficient of thermal expansion. Less movement generally translates to less noise, and perhaps less wear and tear if the tubing is rubbing on something sharp.
The max temperatures aren't really important here, even with a radiator system.
too good to be true
@ March 18, 2014 12:21 AM in system adviceEither they removed those kits or I am going crazy and my memory is failing me. I can't find it anywhere on that site. I recall there being manifolds with adapters included for specific pex sizes/types, but maybe it was all a dream.
sorry to get your hopes up, fixerDIYupper :(
@ March 17, 2014 12:12 AM in system adviceYou can buy Uponor manifolds that come with matching QS fittings at basically no additional cost. Why do you need 80 of them?

To The Charley Hoffman Foundation.
The mission of the Foundation is to help raise money and awareness for children's organizations that provide a positive environment to better their future through education, sports, and health.
To date the CHF and our events have raised almost $1,000,000 for charities in San Diego and Las Vegas.
The Charley Hoffman Foundation was created by PGA TOUR® professional Charley Hoffman and his wife Stacy in 2009 to raise funds for charities benefiting children in their native and adopted hometowns of San Diego and Las Vegas. After several years of successfully hosting the Charley Hoffman Pro-Am with the San Diego Junior Golf Association, Charley and Stacy realized they had an incredible opportunity to further their giving by establishing their own Foundation. Charley and Stacy have worked diligently over the course of the past four years to establish The Charley Hoffman Foundation. Based on the maxim "think local first," the Foundation's fundraising activities reward organizations benefiting young people living in San Diego and Las Vegas. A talented and dedicated group of people have been appointed to the Foundation's Board of Directors, including trusted family members and friends who share the desire to provide a positive environment for children through education, sports, and health.
With the support of our local business partners, the Foundation looks forward to going over the $1,000,000 mark in January 2013.
We Need Your Help!
As a leader in the community we know you have many opportunities to give back and we hope you find the mission of the Charley Hoffman Foundation a cause you believe in and want to partner with us to help it grow in order to make a major impact on local children.
Charley and Stacy's Story
Raised in Poway, California, the "city in the country" nestled in the foothills of the Cuyamaca Mountains just north of San Diego, Charley began golfing at the age of seven, with the encouragement of friends and family. Soon thereafter, he joined the San Diego Junior Golf Association, which provided him with the guidance that was instrumental in honing his skills on the course and learning the values of good sportsmanship and discipline. Charley went on to play golf for Poway High School, where he became the first two-time California State High School Champion in 1994 and 1995. At the age of sixteen, he became the youngest golfer ever to qualify for the Buick Invitational, San Diego's annual PGA TOUR® event. In 1998 he was part of UNLV's NCAA® Division I Men's Golf Championship team and received an honorable mention to the All-American team by the Golf Coaches Association of America.
Following his graduation from UNLV in 1999, Charley spent six years perfecting his golf game while traversing the country as a member of the Nationwide Tour® , until he qualified to join the PGA TOUR® in 2006. He began his second season on the PGA TOUR® with a thrilling playoff victory amidst gale force winds at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic in Palm Desert, California. Since joining the PGA TOUR® , Charley has posted 18 top ten and 41 top twenty-five finishes. Most recently, Charley won the 2010 Deutsche Bank Championship, tying the tournament's 72-hole record of 22 under par, capped off by a 9-under 62 in the final round. By winning this second FedEx Playoff Event and finishing well at the PGA TOUR Championship, Charley secured fourth place in the year-long FedEx Cup race.
Stacy also grew up in Poway. She participated in a variety of extracurricular activities while at Poway High School including serving as Junior and Senior Class President. Stacy graduated from Boston University's College of Communication with a degree in Public Relations. She has over ten years of experience in the Public Relations field. Throughout her career she practiced with firms in San Francisco, New York City and San Diego, where some of her clients included Microsoft, MasterCard, Sara Lee and Diageo.
Four years ago, when Stacy began traveling full-time with Charley she became involved with the PGA TOUR Wives, serving as Media Chair. She is currently holding the position of Vice President of Communications on the Board of Directors. Her experience with National and local media has helped create a strong media presence for the PGA TOUR Wives Association.
Stacy's experience with event planning and media relations has allowed her to get involved with all kinds of charity work over the years. Charley's golf career aside, she recognizes that her and Charley have both been fortunate to grow up with supportive families and given opportunities many children dream about. She feels privileged that her and Charley now have the ability to give back to others through the Charley Hoffman Foundation.

Two questions:
Jack Spicer said...
Two questions:
1) Does any gear have 3 gem sockets on it in Wrath? I know a question was asked about the lack of sockets, but as I'm seeing more an more of the 80 raid items the average number of sockets seems to be 0.5, and 2 the average on arena gear. A sad day for jewelcrafters indeed, and anyone hoping to properly socket for a meta gem :(
2) From level 70-80, ignoring talents, how many new spells is each class getting? I know in BC many classes got 5, but it looks like its going to be 2 on average. Or is it 3?

Past Legislation and Regulatory Action
Posted By mar2 On December 19, 2011 @ 7:03 pm In | No Comments
Over the years, the Prevent Cancer Foundation has been involved with and supportive of a variety of different legislaion and regulatory actions. To read about what the Prevent Cancer Foundation is currently involved with, please click here [1].
To learn more about becoming an advocate for cancer prevention, please click here [2].
The Prevent Cancer Foundation, as a member of One Voice Against Cancer (OVAC), a coalition of public interest groups representing millions of cancer researchers, patients, survivors and their families throughout the nation, has signed on to a letter that went to the House and Senate Appropriations Committee Chairs and Ranking Members asking that they continue to make funding for cancer research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) a priority in the FY 2012 Labor-HHS-Education appropriations bill. Click here [3] to read the letter.
Prevent Cancer Foundation joins members of the National Coalition for Cancer Research in efforts to alleviate the cost-sharing burdens of Medicare Advantage enrollees who are participating in clinical trials. Read comments here [4].
The Prevent Cancer Foundation, in partnership with Fight Colorectal Cancer, is organizing advocates to call Congress in support of the Colorectal Cancer Prevention, Early Detection, and Treatment Act of 2011. This bill has just been introduced by Congresswoman Kay Granger (TX-12), Congressman Jim McGovern (MA-3), Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (Texas) and Senator Joe Lieberman (Connecticut) and will create a national screening and treatment program modeled after the very successful breast and cervical cancer screening program. This bill will help educate the public and improve access to screening for those that might not otherwise be able to afford it. To join our call please read our call information and script here [5].
The Prevent Cancer Foundation sent comments to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) urging the reversal of the coverage decision which excludes virtual colonoscopy as a covered screening method for colorectal cancer. View the comments here. [6]
The Prevent Cancer Foundation sent letters to Congressman Mark Udall and Senator Tom Harkin in support of the PLAY Every Day (HR 2045/ S 651). This legislation helps fight obesity from the community level. Combating and preventing obesity early in life ensures children are at a reduced risk for serious adulthood diseases including cancer. In fact, obesity has been linked to incidences of two of the deadliest cancers in the United States: breast cancer and colorectal cancer. View the letter here. [7]
The Prevent Cancer Foundation sent a letter to Congresswoman Deborah Pryce applauding her work on H.R.2676, the Access to Cancer Clinical Trials Act of 2007. This important legislation will remove barriers to clinical trials by requiring insurance companies to cover participation in a trial. Please read the letter here. [8]
The Prevent Cancer Foundation joined with other members of the Cancer Leadership Council (CLC) to urge improvements of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services coverage of preventative services for Medicare beneficiaries. Coverage of these services are critical in ensuring Medicare beneficiaries are screened for cancer. View the letter here. [9]
The Prevent Cancer Foundation co-signed a letter urging the expansion of the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program is a valuable nutrition program that results in children eating more fruits and vegetables and creates healthier school food environments. It is an important strategy to improve children's health and reduce their risk of overweight/obesity and other diet-related health problems. View the letter here. [10]
The Prevent Cancer Foundation joined with other members of the Cancer Leadership Council (CLC) to express concern over the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services proposed decision memo on coverage of clinical trials for Medicare beneficiaries. The change in policy could restrict access to cutting edge cancer care for seniors. Click to view letter:
http://www.cancerleadership.org/policy/clinic_medicare/070817.html [11]
The Prevent Cancer Foundation co-signed a letter to members of the United States Senate asking that the Senate include provisions in upcoming Medicare improvements to eliminate coinsurance and exempt patient deductibles for preventive screenings like colorectal cancer screening and mammography. Exempting these costs for patients would make preventive health care more accessible for the Medicare population, many of whom are on fixed incomes. View the letter here. [12]
The SunWise Schools program of the US Environmental Protection Agency is an effective educational program that reaches elementary school children across the country with information about sun safety and skin cancer prevention. The FY 2008 budget and appropriations bills did not fund the Suisse program in FY 2008. View the letter [13]sent by the Prevent Cancer Foundation to all Members of the US Congress urging them to restore funding for SunWise.
Read [14]Prevent Cancer Foundation comments to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for the opportunity to comment in support of adding stool DNA testing for colorectal cancer screening as a covered benefit under the Medicare program.
Read [15] Prevent Cancer Foundation comments to CMS urging them to revise the proposed process for adding compendia to the Medicare Part B program.

The factory had one more trick up its sleeve for the C-Type. Malcolm Sayer came in once more in 1953 to do a new body for a record car, a car that turned out to be the 54th and last C-Type ever built. With the slick record body and a plastic canopy on it, the so-called C-Type Series II went back to Jabbeke, Belgium, and with test driver Norman Dewis in the saddle, cracked off a run of 179.817 mph. And that was it. Jaguar's competition department turned its entire attention to the D-Type, which would go to Le Mans, kick ass and take names in 1955, 1956 and 1957.
The absolutely glorious restoration you see here is chassis XKC 014, sent from the factory on October 7, 1952, in cream with a green suede interior to Max Hoffman in New York, who sold it to the fortunate Mr. John Rutherford (not Johnny Rutherford the USAC/CART driver). Rutherford ran it at Daytona Speed Week, hitting 134.07 mph with it on the sand.
A lunatic we will not name bought the car in 1960, ripped the engine out and put in a Plymouth Valiant Slant Six engine, Buick brakes and a Borg-Warner transmission, and raced it for years. It was sold on to a third owner for $2,000 during the late '60s and sold back across the pond to a German named Burkhard von Schenk. Von Schenk had it restored in England by Peter Jaye and RS Panels, and after some time it was transferred to its new owner in Connecticut, racer and racing school impresario Skip Barber, who has shown it frequently since he's owned it. Was there ever a more beautiful British race car than this?
Thanks to the late historian Andrew Whyte and to Terry Lawson, without whose exhaustive research and his new book, "The C-Type Register," I couldn't have done this story. To get your copy, contact Terry Lawson at (480) 984-8501 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
