I purchased the black leather version, wide size 7. First time wearing it seemed a bit stiff, hopefully it will soften with a few wears. Typically wear a 7.5 from SW, but figured if I get the wide, may be more comfy as a 7 which is my true size. Otherwise nice shoe for work, solid heel but not too chunky.
Love the style, love the height, love the heel size. Because it is a small and my heel is extra narrow, the toe is a snug fit but not too tight. Good looking shoe. Keep the smalls coming.
Beautiful shoes! I'm so glad that SW still makes narrow shoes!
True fit, width and size.The perfect shoe as you age a little.Really the perfect alternative or addition to SW Platswoon, which you don't have anymore.
Most of my shoes are SW. Why? Because it has the quality, comfort & style I know & expect. And it is very comfortable. Although I usually wear a 5-Medium width, I had to go up a half size, same width. I would love for SW to make this shoe in a dark brown, please?
Comfortable and stylish!
Great fit and arrived sooner than predicted!
Love, love, love this beautiful shoe! Amazingly comfortable and looks great!
Beautiful Shoes, true fit and color. One problem noted the side of the shoe extends when wearing. I recommend this shoe, very versatile and perfect heel height.
While this shoe is great for evening, I have worn them almost 3 times a week to work! They are sturdy, comfortable and stand up to lots of walking!

•Tape will glow in total darkness after exposure to artificial or natural light
•Product has excellent resistance to UV light and does not show significant degradation when used outdoors
•Also used for labels, decals, novelties, sporting goods, trims, special effects and hobbies
$2.99 shipping
8 Comments add a comment
I wonder how long it glows for? This would be pretty neat in conjuction with reflectors for night-biking.
2 rolls for $5.99 free shipping on Amazon
This is perfect for marking stages so actors/musicians/players can tell where the edge is when the lights go off, where to stand to be on their mark when getting in position during scene changes, and how to get to the exit when the lights go down.
You could also lay out the tape on a surface in rows to make a glow in the dark drawing board. Using a laser or a tightly focused flashlight to make a light drawing.
Just found it at Amazon for $5.99 2 pack including shipping. http://www.amazon.com/Firefly-Glow-Dark-Duct-Tape/dp/B00A3C1M5M
Been looking for reviews. They aren't terribly glowing(sorry couldn't resist) concerning the strength of the glow effect, but no issues with the quality of the duct tape itself.
If you're a teacher, just don't let the kids in your class put it on their mouths and then decide to post a picture of it on facebook with a snide comment.
I'm not sure why I feel I need this.

ERP system for parents association with Ruby on Rails / Ext JS (Demo !)
I have developed a ERP system in Ruby on Rails and Ext JS. Every customer has its own "client" (many customers working on the same system - but totally separated data). This way it works perfectly as an ASP solution !
Check it out on a demo "client" in English, German or Spanish!
Until now the following modules are developed:
- Management of the "client": users, user groups with permission roles, temporary holiday replacements to work in the role of another user, email settings, client specific standard settings (to change the GUI, allow self registration of users, ...)
- Course management (e.g. for companies offering any kind of courses or for parents associations which have to manage parents and children by schoolyear) with additional features like trainer management, send and receive emails, automatic mass emailing (with prepared standard email templates e.g. for confirmation or rejection of course rservations), generation of invoices (incl. controlling and account informations for import into a accounting system), RSS news feed, PDF and CSV reports, ...
- Starting also small CRM module...
- An extensive online help describes everything in detail
- Usable as ASP solution (SaaS)
- Multiple "business components" - that means various application-modules can be registered in a client
- Multi language & multi timezone
- Multi channel architecture (includes support for mobile devices)
- Purely webbased RESTful WOA
- Client-Capability (many customers can work in parallel on the same system - like e.g. in SAP)
- Finegrained roles & rights concept (Access Control Lists for functional rights and object rights)
- Flexible and powerful user handling with usergroups and e.g. holiday replacement
- Easy & quick deployment possible by virtualized server environment (all installed within a virtual machine)
- Sending of emails directly out of the application (each client with its own email settings) and for each client the email templates can even be customized individually by the user (via HTML and "Liquid")
- CSV export of all tables, PDF printing of some reports
- All Ext 2.2 themes I have found are implemented (see theme button on right side of menu bar)
The homepage of the application is www.ev-manager.com. Its not very nice, but gives some more information.
From there a link to the "Demo client" is given to try it out. The direct link to the demo system is www.ev-manager.com/demo/login .
The demo user is "demo_en" for the English version. There is also available a German (demo_de) and a Spanish (demo_es) demo user. Password is always "demo123".
11 May 2009 7:02 AM #2
Nice application!
Seams that you have forgotten to provide the username and password with the direct link:
User: demo_en
Password: demo123
Some things that catched my attention while briefly browsing through this application:
- PDF export does not work (nothing happens when clicking a menu option that obviously should generate a PDF report)
- CSV&Excel export as data-uri is a nice client-side-only solution but does not work with IE < 8
- On grid pages like PA-Administration -> Parents the scrollbar should scroll the grid contents (fit-layout)
- Sometimes there are multiple scrollbars next to each other - that's confusing.
- Some dialogs require a really big screen to fit on the page. On my 1440x900 resolution they get truncated. Consider using a layout (hbox/vbox with flex-option for example) that adapts to different dialog sizes.
PS: I'm using Safari 3.2 on Mac OS XDaniel Jagszent

Thank you Daniel for the feedback !
Opening the pdf reports and CSV files directly from the menutree or menubar in a new window only works in Firefox - for unknown reasons I cannot get it working it for IE (via toolbar bottons it works in some other cases where pdf is generated or CSV files). Seems to be the same problem in Safari - according to your feedback.
The biggest problem for me is the adaption to the screen resolution - I do not know how to do that.
Does someone have an idea on how to do that ?
12 May 2009 12:55 PM #4
I use the all-new vbox/hbox layouts of Ext 3.0 for that. Have you seen the RowLayout of http://extjs.com/deploy/dev/examples...t-browser.html (Custom layouts)? You will probably end up using multiple nested layouts (e.g. an outer RowLayout and ColumnLayouts in the individual rows)
A BorderLayout is also an option for some layouts.Daniel Jagszent

15 May 2009 1:52 AM #5
Thank you for the hint ! I have to update some things in order to use ExtJS 3.0, this has shown a first test.
Unfortunately, the themes will also not work anymore in ExtJS 3.0 - so I guess I will wait some time until themes have been updated for the new version.
But thanks to your hint I possibly have another solution to the grid height issue. Until now I render every new screen to a DIV within the viewport center region. Maybe I can render it directly to the viewport center element and thus the height issue could be solved using a proper layout. (seems that with the DIV, no layout solves the height issue). I'll check...
15 May 2009 8:01 PM #6
The normal way would be to use a CardLayout for the center region of the viewport. Something like:
. . . { id:'center', region:'center', layout:'card', activeItem: 0, defaults: { layout:'fit' }, items:[{ html: 'the first item that is initially shown.' }] } . . .
var newItem = new Ext.grid.GridPanel({ // config goes here -- no renderTo! newItem gets rendered automatically on first layout }); var center = Ext.getCmp('center'); center.add(newItem); center.getLayout().setActiveItem(newItem); // here newItem will be rendered
var center = Ext.getCmp('center'); var card = Ext.getCmp('the-card-id'); if (!card) { card = new Ext.rid.GridPanel({}); center.add(card); } center.getLayout().setActiveItem(card);Daniel Jagszent

15 May 2009 8:57 PM #7
You read my mind ! This is exactly what I wanted to do as a next step in the GUI improvement. I only have to take care to generate unique element IDs as the grids and panels are mostly generated automatically via a Rails plugin.
This way I can always trigger to update any grid which contains the id of a certain object, after having edited or created a new instance of the object in a form (which mostly appears as a Ext.window in front of the grid).
If I have a e.g. a grid of children in one tab, then I have to take care that there is no other grid of children (even as a subgrid within a panel) in any other tab where the grid has the same id. But I think, there is an easy solution to that in my application framework in Rails.

Lots of new functionality and a RSS news feed
Lots of new functionality available, among others a EditorGrid for speed entering children and assigned courses. The first time I use the EditorGrid - I should have checked it out before - it can add a lot of usability improvement to some screens.
I have now also implemented a feature to enter news (either system wide under the tab "News" on www.ev-manager.com or client specific like e.g. under www.ev-manager.com?mid=demo .
Does someone know if there is some RSS news reader available in Ext-JS ? I would like to improve the handling of RSS news on the homepage.
13 Jul 2009 11:52 PM #9
14 Jul 2009 12:17 AM #10
I think its nice, and nice to see a custom theme... One thing I would consider is your user experience. I logged in as demo_en... clicked on list of users and it gives me options to add/edit/delete/suspend/unsuspend users only when clicking on those options I alerts a permission denied message...
Why present the user with options if they can't use them?

A Fort Walton Beach man has been charged with removing a wallet from a man killed in a Walton County traffic accident, and then using the victim's credit card in a scheme to steal funds.
47-year old William Taylor Caudill of Cypress Street is charged with
grand theft, fraudulent use of a credit card, and money laundering.
Investigators say Caudill, an employee of Florida Removal Service, was called to pick up the victim of the traffic crash on October 18th and deliver the man to the Okaloosa County morgue. On November 5th, the Okaloosa Sheriff's Office learned that money may have been removed from the victim's wallet, as well as charges made to his credit card.
The investigation revealed Caudill used the victim's credit cards to
transfer money into another account belonging to a non-profit organization, and then used a debit card to remove some of the money and convert it to his own use.

The Dakota Wesleyan University Future Teachers' Organization will host its 16th annual Dr. Seuss Carnival from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, March 22, in the L.B. Williams Commons Area.
Children ages preschool through sixth grade are all invited to participate in the event, which is free. Children can participate in reading and games in order to earn tickets to redeem for various prizes. Each child who joins in the festivities will receive a free book just for attending. Adults must accompany children at the carnival.
"The Dr. Seuss Carnival is a way for the future teachers in our education department to help the community celebrate the work of Theodor Seuss Geisel and the astonishing impact he has had on generations of young children," said Justin Zajic, assistant professor of education at DWU. "The works of Dr. Seuss inspire young children to read and grow their imagination through stories, rhymes, and wacky illustrations."
"Our volunteers are busy ordering books, prizes, and creating games for our guests. Last year we had over 400 children at the carnival and we hope to get at least that many this year," Zajic said.

- Its primary concern for respecting the autonomy of patients and their loved ones
- The highest ethical and legal standards of professional practice
- Its commitment to excellence in clinical care, research and teaching
- Loyalty to its community
- Its commitment to basic principles of justice and the fair allocation of health care resources
Every member of the MUHC community shares the responsibility for treating with respect those who turn to us for help. We should try to have them feel comforted and secure. This code of ethics reflects this responsibility, and our commitment to having our practices and daily conduct reflect the values and beliefs of our institution.
We consider the following guiding principles to be very important in the task of creating a healing environment:
- Mutual respect
- Privacy
- Promoting open communication
- Preservation of confidentiality
- Informed care and treatment decisions
- Providing care in a compassionate, responsible manner
- Access to health information
Mutual Respect
Every person should be treated with respect. This should be reflected in the attitude, communications and actions of staff, patients and family.
Respect requires sensitivity to:
- every person's right to make decisions about himself or herself (the right to self-determination)
- the right to human dignity and privacy
- people's attempts to communicate, in their own manner, their experience of their illness, ailments or symptoms
Staff will treat patients and their families with courtesy, fairness and understanding. The MUHC does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, ethnic origin, culture, social status, gender, sexual orientation or health status.
The MUHC recognizes that children and adolescents have particular needs. Staff will respect and attempt to meet those needs in accordance with the hospital's mission, available resources and the needs of other children and their families.
Everyone has a collective responsibility to ensure that the MUHC provides a safe, civil environment. Staff members, patients and visitors should not have to experience harassment or abuse. They must be made to feel they can discuss incidents of abuse without fear of reprisal. Clear directives must be available so people will know with whom they could discuss such incidents.
Confidentiality is the right to have information kept private. The notion of confidentiality is understood as covering the written medical record as well as any information disclosed by patients, their families or third parties. Confidentiality should be assumed unless specific release of information is authorised by the patient, the parents or guardian (in the case of a minor less than 14 years old) or the law.
The patient's permission is required to discuss their case with anyone outside of the medical team. If the patient is unable to communicate, health-related information may be discussed with:
- the person who has been chosen to speak on the patient's behalf
- the closest family member, or
- the patient's legal representative (if there is one).
Medical records will be treated with a similar respect for confidentiality. Staff will have access to the medical file only for the purposes related to the provision of comprehensive health care, or when engaged in facility-approved education or research. In the case of chart use in education or research, every effort will be made to ensure appropriate privacy or anonymity.
Information about patients, their health status or their care will be considered confidential within the treating team. Staff may discuss information about their patients' health condition with either members of the multidisciplinary treating team or other staff as necessary for diagnosis or treatment. The same obligation to respect confidentiality is expected of all staff who have contact with the patient. Information should be released to an outside institution or physician as needed to ensure continuity of care, but again only upon signed consent. Information may also be released without specific consent in exceptional circumstances as is allowed by law or court order.
Access to Medical Files
Patients may have access to their medical file upon request unless, by exception, the treating physician believes it is temporarily not in the patient's best interest. A professional staff member will be present when patients review their file. Access by any other party to a patient's medical record will be allowed only with appropriate authorisation or by court order. Access for research purposes may, under some circumstances, be granted by a Research Ethics Board. Appropriate safeguards for privacy and confidentiality must then be respected.
Privacy is understood to be the right to be free from inappropriate intrusion. Staff recognize that every patient has the right to have his or her dignity and modesty respected. Treatments, examinations and personal care will be conducted in a manner that respects the dignity and privacy of the patient.
In turn, it is expected that both children and adults, be they patient, family or visitor, show consideration for the dignity and privacy of all those with whom they come into contact during the time they spend in our hospital.
Open Communication
Open communication is understood as including many dimensions, from something as simple as "whom am I speaking to" through something as potentially complex as being able to really understand the pros and cons of a particular medical intervention. Staff will endeavour to foster open communication through:
- wearing ID's and introducing themselves
- primary care staff explaining their roles
- providing care in English, French, and other languages when necessary
- allowing time for decisions, in keeping with the demands of the clinical situation
- providing information about care and services in our institution, and how to access ongoing care when patients leave
- addressing the questions and concerns of patients and family
- members
- facilitating informed decision making by patients
- the availability of an ombudsman and a patient complaints procedure
- implementing the hospital policy of disclosure of "untoward events": if an error is made in the care of a patient, they will be informed of the error, its probable consequences, and what corrective action will be taken
- promoting effective communication amongst different MUHC departments, branches, teams and professionals
Informed Care and Treatment Decisions
Central to informed consent is the principle that a competent person's informed decision should be respected. Patients should be assisted to make the best decisions they can about their health care. In order to do this they should:
- be given the information they need about:
- their illness
- the range of tests, treatments or research studies available
- the purpose, benefits, risks, possible side effects and consequences of any tests, treatments or research studies
- the identity and role of those taking care of them
- the right to refuse a test or treatment
- the likely consequences of refusing offered treatments
- the right to refuse to participate in research
- the right to withdraw consent at any time
- be given this information in clear, understandable language in an environment where open discussion is possible. If necessary, patients can request and receive assistance in order to understand and make decisions.
- be given time to think about this information before making a decision
- be involved in ongoing discussions as the case evolves
- be asked about the role they would like their family to play in matters of health-care decisions, particularly if there are concerns about them becoming incapacitated or unable to speak for themselves. They should be offered assistance in bringing these issues to the family's attention, if appropriate.
It is recognized that patients have the right to choose someone else to speak for them and make decisions should they become unable or need assistance. Similarly, a patient's right to change his or her mind about a decision, or to request a second opinion shall be respected.
There are special circumstances surrounding informed decision making, including:
- incompetent persons
- children and adolescents
- emergency situations
- delegated consent
- informing third parties
- advance directives
When dealing with these situations, the hospital staff will endeavour to respect the basic principles outlined above, while taking into account relevant legislation.
In the case of children and adolescents, both the family and the child's involvement are important in successfully caring for and treating our patients, and they both play an important role when it comes to ensuring optimal care. This involvement includes participation in any decision affecting the state of health or welfare of the patient.
Clinical and Research Safeguards
MUHC staff will take all necessary precautions to assure the safety of each person in our hospital and make every effort to protect children and their families from harm.
As per hospital policy, patients will be informed of untoward events which developed or occurred during their care.
All clinical research will be conducted within accepted ethical standards, and only after review and approval by the appropriate Research Ethics Board. Patients may refuse to engage in a research project, or withdraw from participation in a project at any time without fear that this will influence their care or that of their family members in any way.
Responsibilities of patients
Patients should treat other patients and staff with respect. Patients should understand that the hospital's excellence in clinical care is closely tied to its commitment to teaching and research.
Patients should be as involved in their own health care as much as possible. This includes:
- asking about things that concern them or that they do not understand
- making the best decisions they can about their care,
- discussing their wishes, preferences and decisions with the staff,
- taking part in their care plan,
- being conscientious consumers of health care.

Digestive Disorders Health Center
Upper Gastrointestinal (UGI) Series
Barium does not move into the blood, so allergic reactions are very rare.
Some people gag while drinking the barium fluid. In rare cases, a person may choke and inhale (aspirate) some of the liquid into the lungs.
There is a small chance that the barium will block the intestine or leak into the belly through a perforated ulcer. A special type of contrast material (Gastrografin) can be used if you have a blockage or an ulcer.
There is always a small chance of damage to cells or tissue from being exposed to any radiation, even the low level of radiation used for this test.
An upper gastrointestinal (UGI) series looks at the upper and middle sections of the gastrointestinal tract . Results are usually ready in 1 to 3 days.
The esophagus, stomach, and small intestine all look normal.
A narrowing (stricture), inflammation, a mass, a hiatal hernia, or enlarged veins (varices) may be seen. Spasms of the esophagus or a backward flow (reflux) of barium from the stomach may occur.
The UGI series may show a stomach (gastric) or intestinal (duodenal) ulcer, a tumor, or something pushing on the intestines from outside the gastrointestinal tract. Narrowing of the opening between the stomach and the small intestine (pyloric stenosis) may be seen.
The small bowel follow-through may show inflammation or changes in the lining that may explain poor absorption of food. This may be caused by Crohn's disease or celiac disease.
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:
- Eating before or during the test.
- Too much air in the small intestine.
What To Think About
- A gastrointestinal (GI) motility study may be done if the squeezing motions of the small intestine are not normal during the UGI series and small bowel follow-through. The movement of the barium through the lower intestinal tract is recorded every few hours for up to 24 hours. A barium enema or colonoscopy may be needed to confirm the diagnosis.
- Upper endoscopy is done instead of a UGI test in certain cases. Endoscopy uses a thin, flexible tube (endoscope) to look at the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and upper small intestine (duodenum). To learn more, see the medical test Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.
- The UGI series test:
- May not show irritation of the stomach lining (gastritis) or esophagus (esophagitis) or ulcers that are smaller than about 0.25 in. (6 mm) in diameter.
- Cannot show an infection with the bacteria Helicobacter pyloriHelicobacter pylori, which may be a cause of stomach ulcers.
- A biopsy cannot be done during the UGI if a problem is found.

A tuba is quite large, and can be quite a challenge to clean thoroughly on both inside and outside. I need some good advice on how to do this properly without harming the mechanisms.
This is for a piston-valve tuba, by the way, not a rotary valve. Also keep in mind to do this all very gently, tubas scratch easily.
You'll want to take it completely apart (valves out too, and remember how it goes together) and set in a bath tub full of warm/hot water. Then, add some soap (mild, non-abrasive) and rub it gently with a cloth to get off grime (If it was particularly dirty inside, you could try a toilet scrubber(new) and gently clean out the bell (or use a cloth preferably if your arm is small enough), and use the snake to clean out the finer tubing. Make sure to clean the snake often so you just don't spreak the grime). Once it has been scrubbed, drain the tub and then rotate it head-over-heel a few times to get all of the water out and set it on a bath towel to dry. While that is drying, place the slides in the soapy water and rub them gently with a paper towel / cloth, then dry them off and set them somewhere safe. To clean the valves,take off the felt and rubber bumpers and wash them in SOAP-FREE water, and don't use the snake to clean out the holes in the valves. When all parts are COMPLETELY dry, you can begin assembling your tuba. Reassemble the valves(IN THE SAME ORDER THEY CAME OUT), making sure to put on plenty of valve oil, and grease up the slides before you put them in also. (put on the grease with a paper towel, you're not supposed to contact the slide because it can deteriorate the metal)
Another tip, the valves should be cleaned about every month or two, but missing a cleaning here or there won't hurt too bad.
For a rotary-valve tuba, the process is slightly different because the rotary valves cannot be removed from their housings (unlike piston valves). However, the basic idea is the same:
More often than bathing your tuba, you should boil the mouthpiece. This is more like a biweekly thing if you play a lot, especially if you don't have the chance to brush your teeth or at least rinse your mouth before beginning to play. This process is simple; bring a pot of water deep enough to fully submerge the mouthpiece up to a boil, and using a pair of tongs or some similar apparatus, lower the mouthpiece into the boiling water. Boil for about 5 minutes, to loosen the gunk and grime, then remove it and run it under lukewarm water until the mouthpiece is cool enough to handle. Then, run through the throat and backbore with a mouthpiece brush. Rinse, then repeat if desired, as necessary to clean out all the gunk, before letting the mouthpiece air-dry completely.

I just wanted to thank you and your staff for facilitating a fun and enlightening teambuilding event. The MC set the stage for the day by immediately getting everyone engaged and laughing. The photo scavenger hunt proved to be a big success and now the pictures are proudly displayed in our break room. It was evident that you did your research on the town prior to the event and it was very much appreciated.
The goal of the day was to get to know others in the department and work together as a group. Our planning team feels our goal was achieved because of the positive feedback we received and the fact that team members are still talking about some of the "photo- shoots" taken that day.
– Sharon S. Merck & Co., Inc.
Our department had so much fun! Each team had unique experiences to share, and the situations that were given were funny and novel, which allowed each team to be creative. Our event leader kept the mood upbeat and energized, and gave clear instructions/expectations. We had a blast, laughed a lot, and it brought our department closer. In fact, several team members asked where I found Philly Hops as they are considering using them for other events, and everyone was talking about it the next day at work! Thanks for helping us create an outstanding event!

WEIRTON - A recently completed workaround makes it unlikely, though not impossible, for Weirton's water to ever again be knocked offline for an extended period, Utilities Director A.D. "Butch" Mastrantoni said.
"I don't want to say we've 'completely' thwarted that possibility," he said Thursday. "But basically, we're serving the city through two mains right now. If something would happen to the integrity of one main, we could toggle over to the next, and the citizens would never notice they're not getting service from two mains. It's highly unlikely we would have an outage of significant duration as the result of the failure of one of the transmission mains."
Earlier this week Mastrantoni told council crews had recently finished installing the backup - an 18-inch transmission line from the treatment plant - that connects to a 24-inch water main that flows throughout the city.
"So now we have two main transmission lines throughout the city, one backs up the other," Mastrantoni said. "We can pump through one or both of them."
More than a year ago crews were performing routine water line maintenance when what was then the only transmission line failed, leaving residents without water service for a week while they tried to patch the roughly 46-year-old pipe.
While having a backup transmission line makes it unlikely the same thing can happen again, he said there's always the chance something other than the transmission mains could fail.
"I don't want to say no event can supersede it, but the likelihood of it happening, now that we have (dual mains) becomes much less because we have a backup, a constant backup, that's always there," he said.
In the meantime, he said they're using a $50,000 grant to study another 1964-era line to determine its condition and figure out a way to fix whatever problems they encounter.
Overnight Thursday Mastrantoni said they stopped pumping water from the plant for five hours so crews could test the first section of piping for leaks. He said they'll repeat the tests as often as is necessary "to get an actual picture of the pipeline's condition."
"Our crews will be out there with an independent contractor who's going to use sound equipment to try and detect leaks, in order to determine the integrity of that old 18-inch main," he said. "Since we had a failure of the same kind of pipe near the treatment plant that created the (2010) outage, and it was put in at basically the same time, the same year, we want to check the integrity of the 18-inch transmission line as it goes up through town."
He said the pump has to be off while they work "because the test is sound sensitive. If the pumps are working, the vibration caused by them" would affect the results.
He said the 18-inch line through town, made of spiral reinforced steel pipe, was installed around 1962-64 and extends from the treatment plant to the intersection of Weir Avenue and Cove Road about four miles away; the 24-inch line installed in the 1970s is a more conventional iron pipe, he said.
Meanwhile, the water board continues to look for a metering system with better leak detection capabilities, remote shutoff and automatic meter reading potential that would be less labor-intensive and more cost-effective than the current method, which requires workers to walk the routes.
At Thursday's meeting, the board decided to spend a little more than $13,000 for a pilot test radio read system that would simplify the meter-reading process while also helping reduce water loss.
Mastrantoni said the board wants to purchase 54 automated meter reading devices from Huntington-based HD Supply to try out on industrial accounts. The system would use digital signals to relay each customer's usage information from their meter to a notebook computer mounted in a water department vehicle, allowing them to do in one day the same number of readings that historically require two or three days for workers on foot to get done.
As the mobile meter reading crew passes by, usage numbers would be gathered and recorded by the computer.
The board several months ago nixed an automatic reader system that used the Internet and satellite technology to gather data via an antenna extruding from the meter pit, deciding against making a citywide change because that system didn't meet the needs either in terms of manpower or response times to problems.

Does NN have a R-D8/R-D16 rotator to an inverted monopod adapter? I could make one but it would involve taking the rotator apart to add two threaded mounting holes. I'd like to avoid doing that if there's a better solution.
It would attach the rotator to the inverted monopod like in this image.

DIY Industrial Modern Floating Shelves
Do you love built-ins? Me too. Do you have a spot for them in your house? Me neither. So what's a girl to do? Hmmmm…. I think you know where this is going. Today I am going to teach you how to build industrial modern floating shelves. They are AMAZING and SO easy. I mean easy breezy.
Start by deciding how you want your shelves to look. I knew I wanted mine to go floor to ceiling and I knew I wanted them evenly spaced. So it was just a matter of deciding how many. Did you know that odd numbers in design are WAY more pleasing to your eye? Its true friends.
To visualize and space out the shelves I put painters tape up on the wall, please note that I put tape where I was planning on trimming out the windows. Thank you for noting that.
The goal for this project was to capture a really industrial vibe and then when you step in be a little caught off guard by the simple modern touch. Our secret weapon is Plexiglass. To figure out the amount of board you need measure the width of the ideal design of your shelf. Mine are 51" long and 10" deep. So for each shelf I needed 114" of wood (2 @ 51 " and 2 @ 6")
You will also need (5) 6" 2×1's to use a braces to support your Plexiglass.
When it comes to your Plexiglass take a breath and get ready to jump for joy at this next sentence. Did you know that Lowes can custom cut it for you? I.KNOW. I thought that I was going to have to dig deep and find some unknown Plexi ninja moves. Whew, on that one. Just tell them the size that you need and they will make it happen!
As far as the hardware goes you are going to need a box of 2.5" deck screws as well as some giant hex bolts and washers to spice the design up a little. These are around $1.25 each. I used 20 on my shelves.
I wanted the wood to be fairly rustic I bought Cedar 2×4's from Lowes. The prices were great (less than $5.00 for a 10 ft board) they have a really rough cut on them which was what drew me in in the first place…(you know when the hubs raises his eyebrows and says "there is going to be more work if you get these ones because you are going to have to sand them…" and then I just smile and say "nope, I like their roughness just fine." and then he rolls his eyes and says "whatever." Yea, you can expect that to happen.
Start by cutting your wood down to the correct length.
Give your boards a light sanding to remove any painful swear word inducing splinters. And for goodness sake make sure you are wearing safety gear friends. Just like we don't want old people smell in our lungs we don't want new wood smell in there either.
Line up the framework and start assembling. We drilled (2) 2.5" screws into the backs of each piece and then used the Hex Bolts to secure the front.
To make sure that the Plexiglass was completely flush with the top of the shelf we flipped it upside down with the Plexi on a flat level surface and attached our brace pieces with a nail gun.
If you thought that was fun, just wait for the next part…INSTALLATION!
Start with your bottom piece. Make sure that it is COMPLETELY level. Find your studs and drill 3" deck screws into them. Don't worry about your shelf being centered on the stud, just put your screws where they need to go. Also remember the rule here at Vintage Revivals…don't judge my messy house. Thank you in advance.
Just keep happily moving up the wall until all of your shelves are secured.
I wasn't 100% convinced that I wanted to stain them before installation (because I am currently mildly obsessed with natural wood tones.) BUT once they were up I wanted a light stain. So I did something that I had never done before.
I used Restore A Finish on them instead of regular stain. Yes that is a cake pan…I couldn't find a paint tray. Remember the whole not judging thing? Good.
I LOVE how the Restore-A-Finish turned out. Over time it has lightened to this super beautiful light walnut that I want to marry (if that was legal and stuff.)
And here it is all staged:
Clearly this was before the desk. And guess what?! I have a fun time lapse video on the staging so you can see the EXACT process, so watch for that over the next couple of days!!
Its been so fun to transform my living room, check out what it looked like 2 years ago when I build my Faux Fireplace…
Love Your Guts, Mandi
HUGE thank you to Lowes for teaming up with me on this fun project!!

Fibromyalgia Health Center
Tricyclic Antidepressants for Fibromyalgia
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
How It Works
Experts do not know exactly how tricyclic antidepressants improve symptoms of fibromyalgia. They may help some people with fibromyalgia to sleep better through the night by increasing the deep phase of sleep and decreasing muscle spasms.
Why It Is Used
Doctors may prescribe tricyclic antidepressants when sleep problems are a major symptom of fibromyalgia.
How Well It Works
Some research shows that tricyclics may work better than other antidepressants for treating fibromyalgia symptoms.1
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call911or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor right away if you have:
- Hives.
- Thoughts of suicide.
- Agitation and restlessness.
- Seizures.
- Fast heartbeat.
- Nausea and vomiting.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Dry mouth.
- Dizziness.
- Drowsiness.
- Headache.
- Weight gain.
- Constipation.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an advisory on antidepressant medicines and the risk of suicide. Talk to your doctor about these possible side effects and the warning signs of suicide.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Never suddenly stop taking TCAs. The use of any antidepressant should be tapered off slowly and only under the supervision of a doctor. Abruptly stopping antidepressant medicines can cause negative side effects or a relapse of your condition.
TCAs are started at low doses, and the dose is increased gradually to reduce the severity of side effects. You may need regular blood tests to check the amount of the medicine in your blood. Too much of this type of medicine in the bloodstream can be dangerous.
You may start to feel better in 1 to 3 weeks of taking antidepressant medicine. But it can take as many as 6 to 8 weeks to see more improvement. If you have questions or concerns about your medicines or if you do not notice any improvement by 3 weeks, talk to your doctor.
Studies suggest that using the combination of a tricyclic antidepressant and a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), such as fluoxetine (Prozac), may be more successful at breaking the cycle of pain and sleep problems caused by fibromyalgia than using just a single medicine.
Using an antidepressant medicine to treat fibromyalgia does not mean that the condition is "all in your head." The dose of a tricyclic antidepressant used to treat fibromyalgia is usually much less than that needed to treat depression.
People who have seizures (epilepsy), difficulty urinating (urinary retention), glaucoma (an eye disease), or heart conditions may notice that tricyclic antidepressants make these conditions worse.
Be sure to tell your doctor about all the medicines you are currently taking. TCAs can interact poorly with certain heart medicines-digoxin (for example, Lanoxin)-and/or with other medicines, such as those used to treat seizures-phenytoin (Dilantin).
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.
