Expansion tank issues (74 Posts)

Expansion tank issuesHi Everyone...
Take a look at the drawing... While the boiler is running at +- 18psi, all on a sudden within 2-4 seconds the pressure raises to 30psi and blows the pressure relief. Temperature doesn't appear to have any bearing.... Not sure what does.... The system acts as if expansion tank " isn't there.... I temporarily installed Expansion tank "B" and all is well... Even if I turn expansion tank "A" off so it acts as if "A" weren't there.. . I have switched tanks with Expansion tank "A" and it doesn't matter.... So I believe that Ex tank "A" is good...
I have the indirect shut off both the coil & the domestic.
This happens when the temp is 180degF or 120degF... doesn't matter.
It seems that installing the expansion tank "B" solves the problem.. which is great but I wanna know why... :)
1. Why am I getting pressure spikes? in the first place...
2. Why doesn't expansion tank "A" seem to be seen by the system?
3. How come installing expansion tank "B" solves the problem even with "A" off?
I've rounded the system off to be +- 18 gallons...
Expansion tank "A" = Extrol #30
Expansion tank "B" = Extrol #30
Oh... one other thing... I didn't install the system... I'm just there to fix it.. :)
Thanks for all your help!! I really appreciate it...

BecauseYou are pumping into the boiler.
When there is some more distance between the tank and the pump the pressure will drop a little more between the tank and the boiler pump then it did before, causing a lower output pressure from the boiler pump.
If you don't need 18 psi, lower the pressure.

Move The Tank...And the SriroVent into the primary loop where the flow switch is located. The way it is now, the PONPC is in the secondary.
Pumping into the boiler is the proper method with this arrangement as long as the boiler pump is downstream from the PONPC.Bob Boan

You are making steam." While the boiler is running at +- 18psi, all on a sudden within 2-4 seconds the pressure raises to 30psi and blows the pressure relief. Temperature doesn't appear to have any bearing.... "
I am guessing you are making steam in the boiler. The expanding steam bubble raises the pressure and pops the relief.
Is a Taco 014 a small pump? Is that pump recommended for the boiler circulator in a primary secondary set up?
If that is the correctly sized pump, then I would look for a hot spot. Perhaps a blocked water passage, improper firebox conditions, or improper flame size.
Be aware I am not a heating professional and my advice is worth exactly what you paid for it.
Good Luck.This post was edited by an admin on March 2, 2012 11:01 PM.

Checks & Balances:If those circles with diagonal lines denote check valves next to the secondary loop, the fill is in a locked loop between two check valves, the second being the rotten IFC's in the check valves. It you had a real wet head check valve, you would be able to manually open the check and see if the problem would stop. As it is, you can't. The first tank, tank "A" is being hydraulically isolated from the system and the system can't "see" what the tank (A) is doing. Not so with tank "B". It is on another side of the rotten IFC's.
It seems to me but I can't "see" the drawing that well.

The system is pipedaccording to Weil McLain specs... The circulator 0014, is actually shipped with the boiler... It's a pretty big head circ.. I'll grant that the secondary lines are too small... But that shouldn't matter with regard to the ex tank... The pressure differential between the two pressure gauges on either side of the Taco 0014 is +- 3 psi...
I always like to put the spiro & expansion tank in the primary but.... It doesn't have to be... It would seem that the ex tank "A" can be seen from any part of the system.. So why doesn't it act that way?
The valves off of the primary & on the secondary branches are ball valves..
The pressure at 12 would do the same as 18... except that you need at least 14 for NPSH and now Taco requires 20 for systems above 5000 feet... so.. 18 seems like a good middle of the road number... I don't agree with the 20psi requirement.....

What happens if you shut off the make up?What you are seeing is what Siggy calls "droop". With the pipes being undersized between the Primay and the secondary pumps, when they kick on, they create a significant drop, or droop in pressure that the PRV sees and sends water in. Moving the PONPC to the secondary circulators inlets, or as close as you can get it to that point should stop the problem. The exp. tank doesn't HAVE to be connected at the air separator.

Overpumped?3 PSI is about 7 feet of head, at which a 0014 moves around 26 GPM. At full output at sea level, the Ultra 230 should give you 14 degrees of delta-T (and as it modulates that number will drop.)

Funny thing about that pressure thing. I was talking to a gas and heating professional that does a lot of troubleshooting about such things. I told him about raising pressures on systems where there were high parts in systems and air being sucked into can or auto vents. I don't remember when this conversation occurred. Last week, he told me that after I told him that, he went to their office and raised the pressure to 20#, For 17 years, the air handler in the attic of their two story building would get air bound, and for 17 years, he would need to go up there multiple times during the heating season. Since he raised the pressure to 20#, he hasn't had to go up and vent it once.
I remember things like that.
Do you understand why you need to raise the pressure above 5000 feet? There's an explanation

That doesn't have anything to dowith a circulator.... They want 20psi on the circs... They usually are around the mechanical room... I was told that it was because flashing in the cartridge... But why 20psi & why above 5000ft? That is something else altogether.. But thanks for bringing it up..

Lotteries:Bingo !!
You hit it on the head. "Flashing in the cartridge." Flashing into what? STEAM.
Try resettng the pressure to 20# and then turn on the boiler. If the problem goes away, it's the pressure. All those pumps trying to do their thing can and will become willful children and creat havoc in the system.
Do you understand need to raise the pressure in the system when the system is at a higher level above sea level?
Its important.

Keep us postedThis is an interesting one. I think Mark is on to something, although I would expect the problem would occur on pump shutdown. The flashing to steam would make sense but only if you were pumping away from the high head loss boiler.
Icesailor, could you please explain pressure over 5000 feet? Since the pressure is relative to the atmosphere,I am not sure what you are saying. Your example of air locking makes sense. You should have the pressure from the building height + a safety margin. The building you describe would need 15 to 20# depending on the height.

As I see it,As "I" see it, 0 (zero) PSIG at Sea Level isn't the same as "0" at 5000 feet. Therefore, when the water in the system gauge says "0" at 5000', it isn't the same as "0" at sea level. Therefore, the boiling point is lower at 5,000 feet.
On Mt Everest, climbers have a lot of difficulties. One is that a lot of food needs heat to release nutrients that the body can take up. The product may need to be heated to 175 degrees for the nutrients to be released. Especially in dried or dehydrated foods. But water may be boiling at 150 degrees at higher altitudes. You can't get the water/liquid hot enough without it all boiling away.
Taco is recognizing what some of us have felt for years that cavitation in pumps was a big problem. But we are considered "contrary".
Consider this. If you had a system that you filled to 12# PSIG, and you moved the entire system to Denver Colorado without opening it up, what would happen to the pressure? (Hint: It doesn't go down.)
What happens to a system filled to 12# PSIG Gauge in Denver Colorado and you move it to The Island of Long? (Hint: It doesn't stay the same.)
As I see it.
Those climbers on Mt Everest could put their food and water in a pressure cooker. But if they tried to open it, it would explode if the water temperature was higher than the outside pressure keeping the boiling point down.
Isn't this sort of how vapor/vacuum steam systems work?

AltitudeBoiling point at 10,000 feet is around 190 degrees. It does effect cooking and requires boiler temps to be set a bit more cautiously. I agree that the system pressurized at one altitude and moved to another would read differently. However if you charge the tank and fill the system at a given altitude, What is the difference? Perhaps ME will weigh in on this?

PSIGis the same at sea level or at 5000ft above... PSIA is different...
Boiling point at 15psiG is the same at sea level and at 5000ft above...

PSIKCA, Question . if you hook a manometer up to a gas burner at sea level and it reads 3.5"WC and do the same in Denver and it reads 3.5" WC is the pressure in the burners the same?bob

I think what you are asking is....Does a manometer (and I'm assuming that we're talking about a digital one) take into consideration atmospheric pressure in the readout... I don't believe so... I believe that a manometer reads out in PSIA...
Regardless manifold pressure isn't a closed system...
Interesting question I had to think for a minute... So that means that the answer may not be correct... Lol...

PressureThe pressure in the sea level burner is 14.825 PSIA the pressure in the Denver burner is 12.325PSIA that is why the btu content of nat. gas is 830 /Cu Ft in Denver and 1040 at sea level. Manometers use atmospheric pressure as a reference just like pressure regulators.
I use to wonder if bourdon tube gauges used atmospheric pressure as a reference so I took two high quality 0 to 10 Lb. gauges at sea level both reading zero and capped one. I drove to Denver, the capped gauge read 2.5 Lbs the un-capped read zero. Two boilers one at sea level one in Denver both with gauges reading 12 Psi will have different boiling points.bob

PSIGOK... I looked it up and here is what I found..
PSIG is the pressure read from a gauge which reads the difference
between the pressure in the pipe and the pressure of the atmosphere.
PSIA is the total pressure including the pressure of the atmosphere.
That being the case then you are right... the water at at 12psig at sea level would boil first......
I thought that PSIG was the pressure in a pipe read from a gauge regardless of atmospheric pressure... I knew that PSIA was ... what it says...

Water off?Sorry I did not see you had tried to turn off the water. Was the expansion tank functioning correctly with the water off, of was the level changing? Have you tried isolating the secondary loop and just running the boiler loop? It seems the problem must be related to the 0014 in relation to the high head boiler. I assume you have triple checked your pump directions?

Yeah..I triple checked the direction... & I've isolated the secondary.. to a point.. Because the expansion tank is there..

That would be greatbut the mechanical room is like... 5' across by 6' deep & it has (besides the boiler & sidearm & secondary..) two gas fired furnaces.. as well as a whole house filtration (hepa) system... so I couldn't get a good pic... Some of the pipes are up in the joists.. etc...
There has got to be something that I'm missing... I even thought that the diaphragm was stuck to the inside of the ex tank so I changed it... No difference..
You can see the ex tank "A" from everywhere in the system.. so I don't understand why it doesn't work.. Yet installing one in position "B" works great.. Hmmmmm.... I guess I may never know.. But then what a waste of time...

tankWhat is the pressure on EXP A when the boiler pressure is at 0 ???
Try installing tank B where tank A is now and plug the fitting for tank B.
You may just have a bad tank. Piping shouldn't be a problem.

Heating Extrols Vs Well Extrols:I've not seen this answered.
On Well Extrols, the instructions tell you to set the tank pressure at 2# PSIG below the "Cut-In" pressure . Ie: If the cut in pressure is 20#, (20/40# pressure switch) set the tank pressure at 18 PSIG. Cut in at 30#, (30#/50# switch) set it at 28#. I find that it is better to set them at 3 to 5 pounds below the cut-in pressure to stop any possibility of the water stopping while the pressure switch closes, the pump starts and the water gets going. I can't remember how many years I have followed this rule. But it was shortly after the first complaint of the water pausing while the pump built pressure.
If you look on the Amtrol Website, there are no instructions on what to set the pre-charge pressure to for heating Extrols. We are left in the wilderness. And the instructions in the box is no different. To my aged and deteriorating brain, the heating Extrols come pre-set at approximately 12#. If the system pressure is at 15#, you have a 3# cushion. If it is at 12#, you have no cushion. If you set the system pressure to 18#, you have a 6# cushion. It is suggested by some to raise the precharge to equal the system pressure. That would give you no "reserve" if the system cooled and the system water contracted.
On systems I see with air problems, the PRV is usually stuck and the system is 10# or below. Hit the by-pass and the system may not ever stop filling.
If the system is precharged to 12# and you run the system pressure at 18# with a 6# differential, it works fine and you have more room for expansion.
On a well Extrol you cannot set the pressure the same as the cut-in pressure. It must always be lower than the cut-in pressure. Why is this not so in a heating system?
An inquiring mind is asking.

Well verse heat diaphragm tanksThey are not doing the same job.
A well tank uses the air cushion to stabilize water pressure, not to account for thermal expansion.
The reason the heating diaphragm tank should be set the same as the water pressure is to maintain a place for the water to go.
At balanced pressure the diaphragm will have not allowed any water into the tank.
Once there is more water pressure then air, water will push into the tank.
If you start out with a lower tank pressure then fill pressure, then there will be less room for the water to expand because it has already started to fill the tank before it even got hot. The result is a reduction in the capacity of the tank.
If the pressure of the tank is high then the system, the result will be that the expansion tank won't accept water until the water has heated and pressurized enough to match the pressure of the tank.
So the thing to do is match the pressures, that way the water will have a place to go when it heats and expands, and the tank will have its full potential for expansion capacity.

Air Head:When you take a Well Extrol or a Heat Extrol out of the box, and it is precharged to whatever it is precharged, the pressure inside the bladder has pushed the bladder to the bottom of the tank. It is pushed off when the incoming pressure is greater than the pre-charge. There is no pressure range when the pre-charge is higher than the set system pressure. In Hydraulics, the difference between zero and 100# is a drop. It can't be compressed. The fill valve will add water, like the water on a pump will stop.
But that's not the cause of a problem you didn't create and are trying to solve.
Did the original installer make the closely spaced tees 4 pipe diameters? That's 5" center to center on the 1 1/4: primary loop. A 6" nipple isn't 4 pipe diameters. The closer the tees, the better the mixing. If you don't get good mixing in the zone between the tees, you may not get as much return water as you need to keep the boiler cool.
Its not the tanks.

The space between the teesis about 5" I would guess... He used a 3" nipple on two 1 1/4 x 1" tees so they are close...

Spaced Out:KCA,
Does the primary/secondary loop configuration in this system that you did not install conform to this?
Note especially the part about distance for closely spaced tees AND the distance from the closely spaced tees to turning ells?
It does make a difference.
When using an iSeries-R Mixing Valve, the following piping requirements
must be considered for proper operation.
1. In order to hydraulically isolate the boiler loop from the injection or system
loop primary/secondary piping must be used. There must be no
more than 4 pipe diameters between the tees in the boiler loop (Note 1).
2. There must be at least 6 pipe diameters of straight pipe on either side
of the tees (Note 2) in order to prevent the momentum of water in the
boiler loop from pushing flow through the injection loop.
3. There should be a minimum of 1 foot drop on the return pipe of the
injection loop, in order to create a thermal trap (Note 3) and prevent
unwanted heat transfer.
4. When using a 2-way iSeries-R Mixing Valve, a balancing valve must
be located between the tees in the system loop, in order to provide a
pressure drop to induce flow through the mixing loop.

Another thing on that boiler/system.Here's another thing on that system. It is becoming common knowledge where I work that they are often way over fired in some applications. If anything is incorrect in the piping, and you have diminished flow through the primary loop and by diminished flow, I mean returning cooler water going into the boiler, it will do what you describe, flash into steam. I have a friend who is constantly down-rating these boilers because they are too big and you can't get enough flow through them to cool them. Once they start to steam, the flow stops.
A question for Steamhead, if a teapot boiler starts to steam, will the circulator pump be able to push the "bubble" out? Wondering.
Why I like Low Loss Headers or Hydraulic Separators better than improperly spaced and installed tees.
bob March 3, 2012 @ 9:28 PM

KCAI suspect what is going on is with the tank at A, fill pressure drops from the tank to the zone pumps. From the zone pumps back to A the pressure will increase . With three pumps in parallel the GPM of the pumps will add. You are pushing all that water through a 1" pipe causing the pumps to ride up their curves towards max head. This increase in pressure is seen by the boiler loop and is added to the 014. When you move the tank to B the head of the zone pumps is below fill pressure from B back to the pump inlets and reduces the pressure in the boiler loop. Try turning some of the zone pumps off and on with the tank at A and watch the pressure.bob

HmmmI was thinking the same as I read down this post ... Breaking in to steam ? You would know by the hammering noise …Nothing was mentioned .
I am thinking the change from the recommended piping to what was install which puts the circulators in series which adds up into the boiler . they are all pumping away from the tank . by relocating the tank on the heating return... The boiler circulator is pumping away as the heating circulator is pumping toward the tank... Hmmm.... Which takes them out of series
I see the difference between the two diagrams . The heating zones are injecting in to the primary loop rather then the primary injecting into the secondary ..I have enough experience to know , that I dont know it allThis post was edited by an admin on March 4, 2012 8:40 AM.

Over matched boilers:You don't always hear the sound of steam being made in a boiler like this like you might be used to hearing.
If the rise in pressure is during high fire in the boiler, it's probably steam. You should be able to turn the fire down by modulating the flame to low fire. Turn it down. Does it still rise in pressure and pop off? If it doesn't rise in pressure and pop off, there's part of the problem.
I still saw that part of the flow issues are in the closely spaced tees. How far apart are they? Pictures? If the spacing isn't correct, it will act like Mark Ethertons notorious former BIL. He has his foolish friend with him. One will go around the lake in one direction. And his foolish pal will to but at a different speed. If they went at the same speed, one could ride the wake of the other for a better ride. Instead, they will have to cross each others wake. For a bumpy ride.
They are using a 014 pump for the primary for the high flow through the boiler that is one inch through the boiler. Increased to 1 1/4" and reduced again to 1" through the closely spaced tees.
Put your hand on the supply/primary pipe before it goes through the closely spaced tees. Run the boiler and if the boiler temperature rises to where you can't hold your hand on the primary side and you can (more or less) on the secondary side supply but the return of the secondary side isn't as hot, it's not mixing. If they all get hot together, the boiler is firing too high. Like many over-sized teapot boilers will do.
The boiler is the engine. The heat emitting units are the radiation. If the engine is bigger than the available emitting system (radiators), the boiler will over heat.
And I have said over and over, YOU didn't install and pipe it. HOW would have you done it differently. And that includes WOULD YOU HAVE USED THAT BOILER IN THAT APPLICATION???????
Don't fall into the trap that the first installer made and don't use their logic on what they did. Use your own.
Do you have enough installed radiation to cool 230,000 gross input into that boiler to cool it? Turn it down to low-fire and see what happens. I told you, someone where I work has downfired a bunch of these boilers that were doing this. If you set it to low fire, and it stops, consider that.This post was edited by an admin on March 4, 2012 8:57 AM.

Over thinking over pumping....Lets break it down to the basics.
What influences water pressure. Pumps, and expansion.
What is required in order to create thermal expansion? Heat.
How much pressure can these circulators "generate" under ideal conditions? Is it enough to increase the pressure to the relief valves threshold? (I doubt it, even if they were in series)
The expansion tank at B keeps the pressure stabile, but the tanks have been confirmed to be in good working order.
If it were me, I'd eliminate fire from the equation first. If pressure remains stabile, then as others have said, you might be over fired, but something would have had to change DRASTICALLY to see that.
Another possibility, the water ways of the aluminox boiler have become clogged, and the pump is creating significant back pressure, causing the relief valve to discharge. Possible but doubtful, because if it were clogged, the onboard controller would see th big delta and shut the burner down based on a no flow condition.
And then, there is the real possibility that the T that the A expansion tank is tied into is rusted shut, hence no expansion acceptance ability.
I have to give all of you credit for the thought you've given this, but I think we are over thinking the possibilities here. We are dealing with some fairly basic stuff here, and it hasn't always been a problem, so what changed?
If worse comes to worse, leave the tank connected at the B point...
Hang in there Ken, you will figure it out.

The Sidearmis piped off the 1" supply manifold in the secondary... On priority..
Now it's a coil Weil McLain.. Before they were a tank in tank that someone installed.. Likely turned on the heating before the domestic was filled...

tankIt sounds to me like a bad tank - the system over pressures in just seconds after the burner starts - that means there isn't any room for expansion. I have had the diaphram get stuck to the top of the tank.

Inyour original post approx. 2 weeks ago, you described this piping in detail, and I told you it was bass ackwards. In this posting,you drew the piping, and it is bass ackwards. You have hydraulic seperation between the primary and secondary loops, and you installed the expansion tank on the return of the secondary loop. "Pumping At"

Expansion tank "A"is on the supply... I put a tank in the return Ex tank "B"and it repaired the problem..
Is that what you mean?

I bet if you ran the circs whithout firing the boiler the very same thing would happen.Imagine the secondary circs running without the primary circ turned on. We know they will create a pressure rise across the system that will drop back to close to 18lbs by the time it crosses the closely spaced tees. All is well. Now turn on the primary circ. It grabs the 18.5lbs, lifts it up and scoots it throught the boiler around the primary loop and (BANG...) hits the supply tee were the pressure may not be more then 18.5lbs. So the primary circ then creates a signifigant pressure drop on it's suction side. The supply tee cannot see this though because if it could it would transfer it right on up to the expansion tank and reverse the flow. The return tee wll see this pressure drop though. It will grab it and transfer it back across the system. As soon as it hits the seconday circs they will do what circs do,create a pressure dfferential. Only this time since there already is a pressure drop at their discharge they will merely multiply the pressure drop and send it on back to the expansion tank and the PRV. The expansion tank doesn't have enough capacity and the PRV makes up the difference. As the PRV is adding water we know the pressure has to be rising somewhere. The most logical place.. the discharge of the primary circ.
At least, this is how I see it in minds eye.

Steam:Then the only source of the pressure can only be from steam expansion. You can't do that with pumps in a closed heating system.

IDon't know whether it is possible, but it wouldn't shock me if there was a thump from the flow control closing just before the valve discharged.
icesailor March 5, 2012 @ 7:22 AM

Flow Control:If that is the case, manually open the flow control valve and the problem should stop.
I installed a Munchkin once. I had my son pipe it. I gave him explicit instructions with a diagram on how to pipe it. He piped it as he understood the drawings. When I fired it off, because the piping was screwed up, the primary pump didn't come on for a heat call. It would run for a few minutes and a very few minutes, then the pressure would rise QUICKLY and the relief would blow. It was flashing in the boiler from lack of flow. There's a pressure switch but no flow switch.
I still say, there's not proper flow through the boiler. If the supply loop gets hot quickly on the supply and return but not getting hot as fast into the secondary loop, there is a problem with the hydraulic separation
Pumps piped in parallel can not raise pressure any higher than the highest rated pump in the system/circuit. Pumps piped in series can. That's how multistage pumps work. Each pump ads multiplication to the next pump by boosting the water from the first pump. But it can't have an outlet as it goes to the next pump. That's why Hydraulic Separation works.
Turn the boiler down to make it run on the lowest fire possible. If it stops, the flow is either too slow, the boiler is over fired for the load or a combination of both.
Whether you all want to believe it or not, someone I know where I work and does gas service work has gotten a lot of these complaints. He "solves" them by down rating or down-firing the boilers. Then, the problem goes away. He is absolutely convinced (right or wrong) that these teapot boilers are way over sized for their applications. I tend to agree.
And I ask again and say again. You didn't install or design this problem. Have you done a heat loss on the building? Is the boiler (230,000 BTU's Gross) properly sized for the application? When only one zone is calling, is "Low Fire" low enough to keep the boiler from overheating?
FWIW (nothing)

Mark is right.This is simpler then we are making it.
There is probably something wrong with the spirovent that is blocking the flow of water into the exp tank at point A.
This system with it's undersized piping is probably experiencing higher then normal water velocity, and that velocity is polishing the cast aluminum in the boiler. Those particles have made there way into the spirovent and are mucking up the works.
The spirovent makes for a good strainer too.

Pressures:Unscrew the #1 Extrol, add a 1/2" Bl Tee and bush it to put a pressure gauge. See if the pressure fluctuates at the Extrol when the "event" happens. Put one in place of the boiler darins around the system. You guys are just guessing. You need hard facts.

Iagree, and in all these posts there is a procedure to determine the cause of your problem. Get a pen and paper. Start at the top of the post, and add all the tests you have not done.Start with the simplest, which is most likely ices. Is the tank at position "A" seeing pressure change?

AgreeSure we are only guessing from behind a key board . First it's piped wrong from the start ... Seems it always been a problem ... I would also assume the boiler is over sized finding 99% are out there are , that makes sense too .... Most likely a combo of both ...
If it were me I would repipe the boiler to factory spec first ... That is the first obvious problem which should be addressed , Any court of law would agree ... And yes drop down the heat output to its load . That is the beauty of these boilers ... After that blockage should be addressed if problem still exists
Seems all the obvious , Feed valves , heat exchangers , domestic bypass , tank and tank pressure has been addressed ...
Moving the tank from point A to B. ... What changes ? We all know pressures with circulators will change ... But why so dramatic to pop the safety ? The improper piping has to be an issue and that boiler also calls for that 0012 then add a high output boiler .
Being a hands on guy myself. I need to touch and look to find the problem, that and the learning knowlage of how it should work . Then test to cut down the odds :) I am sure we are all doing the same ...I have enough experience to know , that I dont know it all

the relief valvehas been blowing off since it was installed, possibly. If so the HX could be partially plugged fropm all that fresh fill water. How hard is the fill water?

It'sworth eliminating it. Remember, he said it does it at 120 or 180 degress, it doesn't matter.Which tends to lead me away from normal thermal expansion in a properly operating system.The process of elimination will get to the root of the problem.

OK... Here's what it wasI pulled the top off the spirovent and.. Well take a look at the pics..
Apparently, Spirotherm installs these in the spirovents but it looks like this one got installed upside-down...
This would have been the last thing I would have expected... But then there is a lesson in that for ya..
By the way... With all zones on the pressure buildup is about 2.5psi...

I throw out the plugThe purpose of the plug inside the spirovent strainer is to slow the flow for when someone might do a fast fill like at startup it helps keep the vent from spitting water . Then later you run into problems like this one.ENJOY YOUR HEAT AND HOT WATER.

So yeah, that kind of 60s thing is totally in right now.
You know what I'm talking about. It's that colourful shit girls wear at festivals, those overpriced 'vintage' shops, that camera phone filter you deny using, oh and a dubious love of Andy Warhol and brown corduroy.
For the music industry it's such a decade of such powerful nostalgia that it lets us get away with using the term "60s pop" when describing pretty awful contemporary music. It's as if the veil of 60s retro protects music from the scrutiny of discerning listeners, who hand out free passes to inadequate musicians as though they are the only ones to ever attempt a revisit of previous cultural decades.
It's with this cautionary spirit that I approach the music of Californian band Foxygen. With a reputation for pastiching The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Lou Reed, et al their elongated album title We are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace and Magic (2013) warns of desperate songs, pumping lifelessly on the long dead body of the Peace Movement.
Yet, Foxygen indulge their listeners with a surprisingly sophisticated reinterpretation of 'that vintage sound'. They pliably use their retro-repoitiore to produce a slick, yet eclectic, selection of songs.
Foremost is Foxygen's take on Mid-60s Dylanesque chording with the acoustic ballad No Destruction. Although after a dozen listens I still can't quite shake the comparisons to 'It's All Over Now Baby Blue', I don't really care. They fucking nail it. Even when the off-beat electric guitar rhythm is yelling 'Rock and Roll' (by this blog's namesake), it doesn't phase me. It's a song that goes along on its own pace, and thus takes a life of its own. Completely independent of their cult influences, in No Destruction Foxygen develops their own imagery that alludes to their own material past and present.
I'm talking to my grandma who lost her arms in the war/
The aliens and armory that bombed her cigar store
Now you think that I don't know but I know you to know quite well/
That I caught you sipping milkshakes in the parlor of the hotel
Songs in 21st Century Ambassadors continue to lean on the sounds of the past. The soaring choruses of San Francisco yearn of The Zombies,whilst a Jagger swagger is strutting on the very Doors-y title track.
But thankfully it doesn't get stale. I try my best to avoid making dumb comparisons between old and new artists (there's always Pitchfork for that), but Foxygen make it somewhat inescapable. Through injecting their quirky images the band have cleverly managed to contemporise a very overworked sound.

Magik Markers frontwoman Elisa Ambrogio is awkwardly bent over her electric guitar. Her face, and most of the instrument is veiled behind a mass of dark hair which trembles as she violently strums the strings. It looks as though the guitar neck is protruding from the heart of her distorted body.
Listening to the Connecticut outfit Magic Markers is certainly a consuming experience. Comparable perhaps to the feeling that any teenager who has ever plugged in a cheap electric guitar and endlessly thrashed out some Nirvana cover at full volume will be all too familiar with.
However MM are certainly no amateurs, supporting the alt-icons Sonic Youth back 2004 (when Kim and Thurston were still together…). Yet unlike Sonic Youth, MM doesn't have a LP with cult following, and even the whole concept of 'song' or 'album' is unfamiliar to the band. Instead their fandom comes from their intense on-stage sonic explorations and countless bootlegged tapes and CDrs. Oh how very rock-n-roll.
MM's most recent release Surrender to the Fantasy (2013) is the band's attempt to put years worth of worth of ideas and sounds into studio-recorded songs. The result is a somewhat disjointed yet impressive effort.
Buried in the relatively brief album is American Sphinx Face, a surging manifesto of sound that would fit perfectly on Sonic Youth's 1992 album Dirty. It's easy to get wrapped up in MM's sound and not give a shit about the lyrics, but you'd be missing out. On American Sphinx Face Ambrogio's words read like a Ginsberg poem:
"In America every man is a king/ not a good king but a dead king/ I've got no feudal feeling"
The variety of songs on Surrender to the Fantasy prove that MM aren't just mundanely making sounds with their instruments. On the spaciously unpolished song Acts of Desperation, Ambrosio quite beautifully holds the song with her soaring voice. Yet her self-indulgent solo fumblings on the guitar could use a bit more polish.
This is where Surrender to the Fantasyfalls just short. MM haven't quite completely surrendered themselves to the studio (recorded in a basement). Without the cutting image of Ambrosio straddling her guitar, I can't quite excuse the moments of staunchy no-tempo rhythm or overused vocal feedback, particularly on opening track, Crebs.
Despite moments of sheer sonic brilliance, as a 'complete' album Surrender to the Fantasyis scattered at best.

Now she plans to test the jewelry on another victim, Rouge the bat-----"Come on in, Rouge", Blaze smiled as she led her new victim into her beach house. Rouge the bat entered wearing the black string bikini and purple sandals she wore on the beach and the green mind control necklace Blaze had given her. Her face was completely blank and her eyes pale from the effects of the jewelry. "Yes my mistress", she said in a monotone voice.Leading the entranced bat to the living room where Blaze tickled Amy, the purple cat took the bat girl to a soft futon that laid next to a pair of horizontal stocks that sat on the foot of the futon. "Now lay down on your belly", Blaze instructed. The bat girl replied with a nod as she laid down on the futon on her stomach. Blaze meanwhil

They sat in Amy's large living room in their pajamas and slippers; Amy in a pink Pajama shirt and pants with blue slippers with Sonic's insignia on them, Cream wearing white PJ's and yellow slippers, and Rouge who wore silky purple PJ's and slippers."How about we play some video games", Amy said cheerfully. "Yay", Cream cheered, "What do we play? Super Smash Brothers Brawl? Animal House? Hello Kitty?" Rouge rolled her eyes, "Seriously? I think it's time you two play some more mature video games". She pulled up her bag and pulled out several games that made Amy's eyes widen with worry. Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2, Call of Duty: World at War and, even more frightening, Dead Space 2. "I-I-I-I don't th-think we should play those", Amy said with a worried smile. "Why? You chicken?", Rouge smirked. "No of course not", Amy yelled, "but these games are too violent for Cream

"Come on in", Blaze called outside, "And be sure to remove those sandals when you enter". Vanilla the Rabbit entered first wearing a pink two piece swimsuit while Cream wore an orange one piece. Both of the rabbits wore green necklaces that Blaze outfitted into mind control devices. As they entered the house, they slipped off their pink and orange sandals exposing their cream colored feet.Blaze led the two barefoot rabbits across the room to a pair of stocks outfitted for two victims next to a purple chair. "Now, you two", Blaze began, "Sit down and place your feet in these stocks." "Yes Mistress", Vanilla and Cream said in monotone voices. Vanilla place her feet in the outer holes of the stocks whi
Fun with threeAs Sonic was heading to Amy's house, he sighed to himself hoping Amy wouldn't act completely clingy today. However, should she be so, he had something up his sleeve should that situation come up. Opening the door, she found Rouge, Blaze and Amy sitting in their room. "Cue the Amy glomp" Rouge said to Blaze. "Sonikuu" Amy leaped over the couch and hugged Sonic tightly. "Gaah, Amy, easy", Sonic gasped. "You should expect that, Sonic" Blaze said as she read a magazine.As the blue hedgehog sat down in the living room, Amy came in with chocolate covered strawberries. "I made these especially for the love of my life", she said cheerfully. "Thanks, dear", Rouge said sarcastically as she took one of the strawberries. "No, not you, you annoying bat girl", Amy yelled. "It's called sharing the wealth, pinkie", Rouge smirked. "You own more wealth than anyone else here", Blaze snapped. "I at least earn my wealth unlike you being born with a silver spoon", Rouge snapped back. "Okay enough", Sonic s
Cream's tickle tortureDuring the heat of the summer day, Cream the Rabbit sat on the couch panting. The cicada noise from outside only served as a minor distraction from the boiling heat. Vanilla was away at the store so she was left alone for the afternoon.Wearing her red dress and shoes, she lied down nearly drifting off to sleep while trying to stay cool. Yawning, she stretched her arms in the air then heard a beeping noise from the wall. She turned and saw a hologram build up into the form of NICOLE.Dressed in a purple toga and walking barefoot with her exposed three toed paws, the brown and black lynx with jet black hair appeared before the rabbit. "Oh no", Cream exclaimed and bolted from the couch but NICOLE stood in her way. "You know about our bet, Cream", the lynx smirked devilishly. "That tickle contest was over two months ago", the rabbit groaned, "And you said that after two moths you wouldn't tickle me again". "Wrong", NICOLE said as she walked towards her, "This is the final day I
Amy Rose's giant feetAs Amy Rose sat under her favorite oak tree looking out into the expanding plains, she couldn't help but think of Sonic (as she always does). With him gone for so long, she had extra time to relax yet wondered if he should do the same once he returns. As she rested on the grass, she giggled a little feeling the green fibers tickling her softly. Smiling to herself, she slowly took off her red boots and set them down to her right by the tree roots.She then pulled off her white socks exposing her pink feet and toes. Unlike normal feet, hers were pink on top while the undersides of her feet and toes were a peachy cream color and were very sensitive to the most ticklish feeling. Placing her soles on the grass, Amy giggled feeling the grass in between her toes. Her mind then became flooded with thoughts of Sonic arriving and softly massaging her feet.No sooner did she think of this did Sonic arrive carrying a large metal device on his shoulders. "Hey Amy, I'm back", Sonic said cheerfully.
Amy Rose tickled againDuring a warm Spring afternoon, Amy Rose was fast asleep in her bed dreaming of her times with Sonic, her fun activities with Cream and all the adventures she had while chasing her beloved hero. She slept in her normal attire and her boots still on and held a plushie doll of Sonic in her arms nuzzling it by her cheek in her sleep.The door then opened and Sonic crept in silently with a large bag of stuff in it and carrying two of Knuckles' warp rings which allowed him to create portals to various places to travel to. Sonic placed the bag down and pulled out some rope. Using his speed, he strapped Amy down to the bed without waking her up. He looked down at her peaceful angelic face as she slept. "So cute", he thought as he blushed slightly at his often energetic girlfriend.He took the warp rings, activated them then placed her feet into them while two more portal rings appeared with her feet sticking out. "This is really going to be fun", he giggled as he took the receiving end of the
Brotherly ticklingSonic and Tails always had a brotherly relationship that went back to when they were kids. Sonic remembered one time when he was fourteen years old how he pulled a prank on the young Fox. Two years ago, after a morning of running, the young hedgehog came home to see Tails curled up on his couch fast asleep after working on his machines including the Tornado. "Heh, little fox fell asleep", he smirked to himself. Walking towards the couch, he put the sleeping fox on his back and carried him back to his home and to bed. He didn't mind doing this since Tails was like a little brother to him.As Sonic entered Tails' room he tripped on a loose piece of wood and fell on the floor while Tails was thrown onto the bed. Surprisingly, the fox was still fast asleep. Rubbing his arm, Sonic was curious that he wasn't shaken up. As he looked down, he caught a glimpse of Tails' feet and instantly a mischievous thought popped into his head.Grasping hold of the blankets, Sonic tucked Tails tight into th
Vanilla tickles CreamAs spring began to blossom, Cream the Rabbit was playing with Cheese in the backyard as Vanilla washed the dishes in the kitchen. "Catch", Cream cheered to Cheese as she tossed a small baseball to the young chao. Cheese squealed with delight as she caught it.Unfortunately, when Cheese threw it back, he threw it too high. Cream leaped up but couldn't catch it and the ball went through the kitchen window hitting Vanilla on the nose. "OW", Vanilla yelped rubbing her face. Cheese immediately flew behind a tree as Cream stood frozen on the spot in fear. "Cream", Vanilla yelled. "I'm so sorry", Cream whimpered with teary eyes, "Cheese and I were playing and-". "It's okay, dear", Vanilla smiled sweetly, "At least nothing got broken. Just come on in."Cream walked with a slight look of shame as she walked in with Cheese looking guilty from behind the tree. Vanilla sat in the living room on the family couch, "Come here, Creamie dear." "You're not going to spank me or something are you?", Cream
Cream Worships Amy's FeetThe moon was full tonight with its white shine in the dark sky. In a house not too far away Amy Rose was pacing back and forth like she was waiting for someone to come but that person hadnt come yet.Oh I hope nothing happened to her.She continued to pace back and forth in the living room for two minutes until the sound of door knocking got her attention. Amy walked over towards the door as she opened it to see Cream standing by the door.Hi Amy Im sorry Im late. I hope I didnt worry you.Not at all Cream come on in.Cream smiled as she walked inside Amys house and closed the door. Cream had a medium sized backpack on her back as she placed it on the couch. Now Cream are you ready to have some fun?Yes Miss Amy yes I am.For the past few hours in the night Cream and Amy were having loads of fun together. They played games, talk about boys (Amy mostly about Sonic), and eating snacks to pass the ti
AmyXRouge Foot WorshipThe sun was shining on a grassy field as Amy Rose sat on the grass just looking at the sky doing nothing what so ever.I wonder what Sonic is doing right now, Amy asked herself a she stared at the clouds.She was staring at one of the clouds that looked liked Sonic the Hedgehog as she smiled happily because she was madly in love with Sonic but he only liked her as a friend and nothing more as a friend.Amy Rose is that you sitting there?Amy stopped looking at the cloud as she turned around to see that Rouge the Bat was standing a few feet away from her.Rouge what are you doing here? I thought you would be trying to steal the emeralds like you always do, said Amy.Rouge slightly scratched her wing a little and said, Well I wasnt in the mood to steal any emeralds today. In fact I came to see you.Amy looked surprised that Rouge would come all this way just to see her but somehow Amy didnt believe that for one minute.Rou
Vanilla's Sleepy Feet WorshipThere was sun and clouds around Vanillas house as Vanilla the Rabbit was walking on her porch and looking at the distance of her road. Amy Rose and Blaze the Cat were suppose to be coming to the house so they could play with Cream who was sleeping.As Vanilla was waiting for the two to get to the house she looked up at the sky and noticed that it wasnt going to rain and that was going to be a good time.Its so lovely out here today, said Vanilla as she continued to look at the sky.She then decided to sit down on her chair which was close to the small steps. As she sat down on her chair Vanilla saw two figures from the left of her house heading for this direction where she was sitting at.It was Amy and Blaze and they both looked liked they were arguing about something but Vanilla couldnt really tell. Once they got close to the house they stopped arguing and then they looked at Vanilla and she had a smile on her face.Im happy that you tw
Rouge meets a Cow*Rouge wakes up in an abandoned barn in a pair of stocks, she looks around and tries to pick the lock, but realizes that her hands are tied behind her back with thick rope*Rouge: *sigh* Great *notices a cow and thinks to herself* "Maybe he could help me get out of here"Cow: *perks ears at the sound of the stocks being tested and makes a small noise*Rouge: Hey, help me outCow: *walks over to Rouge and looks at her*Rouge: Can you help a girl out?Cow: *nods and stops suddenly, noticing her booted feet sticking out of the stocks*Rouge: What are you looking at?Cow: *says nothing, smells her boots*Rouge: *gets a confused expression and wiggles her feet some*Cow: *bites the end of her left boot and begins pulling it off*Rouge: Hey, put your mouth somewhere else! *she struggles to hold her foot back and keep the boot from sliding off*Cow: *slides the boot off with ease, falling to the ground with a small "thump" sound*Rouge: *wearing a white sock on her left foot* That didn't help
Amy's Feet Sniff n' WorshipIt was a cloudy evening as Sonic the Hedgehog was running across a mountainous region some where on the world. He then stopped at the tip of the mountain region as he was looking up at the clouds.Even though I cant see the sun I can tell its the evening, Sonic thought to himself.He nodded as he turned around and dashed down the mountain and was heading home because he thought that Tails would start worrying about him but there was no need to worry about him.As Sonic left the mountain area he then entered the grassy area. He dashed by the area quickly as he saw Tailss house a few miles away with some trees around the house but with Sonic he was going to get there in a second.Sonic was now standing in front of the door as he grabbed the door knob and entered inside the house.Hey Tails Im back-Before he could finish his sentence, Sonic was knocked on the head with something hard as he fell down to the floor. Before Sonic could see what
Tails licks Blaze's feetIt was a quiet evening around Tailss house as Tails and Blaze the Cat were sitting across from each other in the house. The reason that Blaze was even there was because that Tails had called her over here to talk to her about something important.Blaze wore her form-fitting contoured white trousers, her magenta high-heel shoes with durable, silvery soles, white strap accents which are embraced at the top by dense fur-lined collars, her white-gloves with dense, fur-lined cuffs, and her violet dress bordered in gold-like segments at the collar and trimmed in magenta around the flaps that cover her waist and hips.So Tails what is it that you wanted to talk to me about?Yes well before I start talking would you like any tea?Oh thank you Tails that would be nice.Tails stood up from the chair and started heading towards the kitchen and making the tea. While he was doing that, Blaze just messed with her fur-lined cuffs as she waited for the tea to
Bulma's Foot Worship"There's nothing like a hot relaxing bath
" Bulma sighed as she sank into the steaming bubbly bathtub. Bulma was a pretty 16 year old girl who, like her father, was a genius. However, she was vain. She had blue hair and aqua coloured eyes. Just this morning, she had met one of the weirdest person she had ever seen. But she didn't want to think about him now. This was her 'alone' time, where she would normally pleasure herself. As her hand reached towards her private area, she noticed something at the corner of her eye. It was a small boy, staring at the teen's breasts with a puzzled expression. The small boy had wild hair that stuck out everywhere and was wearing a blue gi with a white belt. But the weirdest thing about the boy was
he had a tail."Goku! What are you doing here?" Bulma questioned in alarm."So instead of a tail, you've got an extra butt? Goku asked."It's not a butt you idiot! They're boobs! And when you're a little older you're gonna think mine ar
Nicole's Feet Worship NightIt was a sunny evening close to Sally Acorns castle as Nicole was sitting on a stumping reading a book she had never seen or read before. She also had in her land hand something that looked liked some type of hypnotizing device.She then closed the book that she was reading as Nicole took the device and started swinging it back and forth but did not look at it.So this is a pendant used to hypnotize people huh? Well I would like to test it out but its getting late and I need to get back to the castle.Nicole stopped swinging the pendant around as she grabbed the book and was heading back to the castle so she could rest up.Later it was now night as Nicole sat down on her bed as she was wearing her clad in a purple toga and was looking out the window for a couple of minutes. She then looked over to her table to see the book on hypnotizing and the pendant as she grabbed both of them.I know I was going to wait till tomorrow but I guess I can do it now.
Rouge's sleepy worshipIn the hills of the Green Zone laid an extravagant Romanesque mansion with marble green columns lining the entrance and trees shading the large fields surrounding them. Looking from the balcony, Rouge the bat smiled at the endless fields of the Green Hills while wearing her traditional catsuit, boots and heart shaped chest-plate. She then looked back into her bedroom, admiring the wealth she had accumulated over the years and the collection of extravagant jewels that laid in her home. She sighed to herself as the sun began to set as she decided to turn in.As she closed the curtains to the balcony, an unknown figure scaled the building. The figure was Knuckles the Echidna. "I'd better keep an eye on that damn bat girl", he thought to himself, "With the Master Emerald hidden, all I can do is make sure she doesn't know its location". Leaping silently onto the balcony, he peeked through an opening in the curtain and watched as Rouge sat on her queen sized bed with red satin sheets and hea
Amy's hypnotized tickling and worshipAs Amy was relaxing on the beach for the last week of summer, she laid on her beach chair wearing a red and pink bikini set, black sunglasses, her trademark red headband and sandals showing off her soft big pink soles and toes. The pink hedgehog laid back as the dazzling sun beat down its rays upon her pink and tan body. However, her relaxation was interrupted by someone's shadow.She looked up and saw Blaze the cat in a purple and red bikini. "Hey Blaze, what are you-", but before Amy could say anymore, Blaze placed a green necklace in her hand. "I just found this on the beach and wondered if it was yours", Blaze explained. "Well it obviously isn't", Amy said and gave the necklace back, "You can give it to Rouge knowing her love of jewelry". "Well consider it a gift for you", Blaze responded. Amy sighed from Blaze's arrogance and decided to take the necklace and put it on. The minute she put in on her eyes went completely blank as if entranced.Blaze smiled at Amy's change, "Okay, Amy

> You are wrong.
Citation or clarification, please.
In July 2008, Vivendi (which owned Blizzard Entertainment) merged with Activision.
Paid realm transfer service was available (at least) in 2006.
Lil' K.T. became the first pet sold on the Blizzard Store in November 2009.
Mobile auction house service became available august 2010.
I say nothing about causation - Blizzard Entertainment under Vivendi might well have started the "pay for pets" thing sooner or later.
I don't really consider the realm transfer service part of the microtransaction trend. But certainly the pets and mounts started being sold after the merger. Whether that means that Blizzard is a "money cow biatch" or not is an observation left up to the individual.

Legislation giving a $500 tax refund to families who home-school their children will be heard by the full House.
The House Revenue and Taxation Committee passed HB77 7-4. Bill sponsor Rep. David Lifferth said there are approximately 4,000 families who teach around 9,000 children at home and that the practice saves the state approximately $60 million in education costs.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
"This [bill] allows them to take a portion of the money they are earning and currently paying into the system to hold onto $500 to improve the quality of education, Lifferth said.
One goal is to help parents buy better technology to aid in teaching students in the home, said the Eagle Mountain Republican.
Elaine Augustine, who home-schools her children, said the $500 would be helpful.
"There are so many things I would love to have enough money to spend on my children's education, especially in science because those materials are very expensive," Augustin said. "I think it would improve the quality of our children's education."
Parents are not eligible for the rebate if their children are also enrolled in a public school. The bill would expire after five years and lawmakers then would conduct a study to see if the tax credit was effective.
The proposal was originally slated to cost $3 million and would have provided $500 for each child being home-schooled, but Lifferth said the amended version of the bill should cost around half that amount.
Mark Mickelsen with the Utah Education Association said either amount is problematic.
"This is an amount we can hardly afford to lose at a time when we're struggling to restore funding lost during the Great Recession and trying to fund a new technology initiative which has been introduced this week," Mickelsen said.
Matt Ogle, who also home-schools his children, opposes the bill because it would take money away from the already underfunded public school system. He said at a previous committee meeting that he teaches his children at home because of the state's low education funding.
"This [bill] would be akin to a person getting a tax credit because they want to own guns because they don't think the police department does a good job," Ogle said.
Rep. Jim Nielson, R-Bountiful, asked why the credit is non-refundable and only available to those who make enough money to pay taxes.
"One of the, in my mind, perverse aspects of this bill is that it will subsidize those that are better off and not those that are worse off. That's a big concern," Nielson said.
Connor Boyack, president of the LIbertas Institute said the bill does not subsidize home schooling, but gives families back some of the money they pay toward public education through income tax. He said he should not have to pay for public schools before paying to educate his own children at home.
"This is not meant to incentivize behavior and it's not meant to necessarily assist people. It's meant to establish fairness and if people with low income are not paying any money there is not any money for them to get back," Boyak said.
Rep. Joel Briscoe, D-Salt Lake City, said home schooling can be a good thing, but it is out of reach for many because of their financial situation.
"It's a heck of a class size ratio one parent to x number of children," Briscoe said.

Aug 14 2013: It would ease the suffering and lead towards the enlightenment of all spiritual beings. All the virtues I desire are neatly wrapped up in and embodied by a Bodhisattva and it would be more challenging and more rewarding than any other pursuit I can conceive of.
It reminds me of some lines from Whitman's 'Song of the Open Road' after several stanzas where he has been talking about heroic things, and goodness and miracles and how much he will do for others:
"Here a great personal deed has room.
(Such a deed seizes upon the hearts of the whole race of men,
Its effusion of strength and will overwhelms law and mocks all authority and all argument against it.)"
Aug 15 2013: In my daily life I know no one that has taken the vow, although a few act with like attention and I can bear witness to the fact that they have had a positive and palliative effect on myself.
No one would have to take the vow to achieve this. The vow is simply a formal signification of the intention to do so, one people's way of ritualizing the initiation of such an overwhelming endeavor.
I don't drive, don't work and don't know more than a handful of people (remotely speaking) in the area to which I've recently moved. TED itself is an experiment in me socializing with others.
Since I suspect you've read this far I'm going to foist another passage from the aforementioned poem upon you, Mary M.:
"All seems beautiful to me,
I can repeat over to men and women You have done such good to me I would do the same to you.
I will recruit for myself and you as a I go.,
I will scatter myself among men and women as I go,
I will toss a new gladness and roughness among them,
Whoever denies me it shall not trouble me,
Whoever accepts me he or she shall be blessed and shall bless me."

Hungry for God
- Wednesday, June 15, 2011
My experiences with illness challenge me in my relationship with God. The illness makes me feel what it's like to hunger and ache and not be able to find relief in anything but God. Will I still wait on God? Will I trust God in the discomfort?
As I listen for God in the midst of silence and hardship, I must decide whether I'm willing to give up listening for what I want to hear and begin listening to what God is actually saying. This decision applies not only to healing, but to all of the issues I lay before God. As with Elijah on the mountainside, God doesn't answer my concerns directly but reveals something else. I've sought God on issues of dealing with a difficult person, only to find my own sour attitude spotlighted. I've asked for clarity on the future, only to discover God's in the process of strengthening my faith.
I've begged for an escape from a heated situation, only to discover that God planted me in a greenhouse of growth.
Asking God to speak means we must come to him on his terms, not our own. Too often we look for God in the earthquakes and windstorms when God has been whispering into our lives all along. We'd do well to quit waiting for lightning to strike and instead start looking for God now. When we start recognizing and feasting on God's words in the everyday, life will become grander.
As we set out on this journey together, I pray for you what my mother prayed for me as child:
I ask that you would experience the voice and presence of God. I ask that God give you eyes to see the ways in which he is moving in your life, ears to hear his voice, and a heart that beats passionately after the Divine. I pray you will answer the invitation to know God, recognize his voice, and become an example of what it looks like to live with reckless abandon for Christ.
Hungry for God

Mayor on a Mission: Mick Cornett
Telling people that they need to lose weight isn't normally going to win you friends or voters. But Mick Cornett isn't your usual politician. The Republican mayor of Oklahoma City is a straight talker. He also cares very much about the health of his constituents.
So when his hometown appeared on a "fattest cities" list three years ago, Cornett decided to put Oklahoma City on a diet. "My advisers weren't so keen on the idea," says Cornett, who himself has lost 38 pounds. "But just sending out the message to eat more fruits and vegetables wasn't going to get anyone's attention."
To help citizens meet his challenge, the mayor arranged for a privately funded Web site (thiscityisgoingonadiet.com) where people can chart their progress and access useful links. He also got behind such initiatives as building gymnasiums in all 47 inner-city grade schools and adding 425 miles of sidewalks and 57 miles of trails.
The response has been resounding. As of January a total of 40,436 residents have lost 519,460 pounds. Restaurants have created low-cal offerings that they list as "the mayor's special" on menus. From around the state, Tulsa, Enid, and Edmond have called, wanting to adopt similar programs. Believing that it takes a healthy populace for a city to thrive, Cornett says, "I was just trying to start a conversation about weight." In the process, he founded a movement.
