Trouble-Shooting Suggestions
Trouble-Shooting Suggestions: Centrifugal Fire Pumps
A centrifugal pump is designed for a specific duty and ordinarily will perform this duty satisfactorily over a long period of time. On occasion, however, trouble will show up in one form or another, and even an experienced operator may have difficulty in locating and correcting it. The suggestions listed below should be helpful.
The following may prevent the pump from being primed or may cause it to lose its prime:
Air Leaks — Any faulty intake or discharge connection or fittings, such as the suction hose, gaskets, booster tank piping, discharge valves or gaskets, drain valves, pump packing or mechanical seals, pump gaskets, or gauge fittings may make it difficult to prime the pump. All suction hose gaskets should be wiped clean of sand, pebbles and any other foreign matter before hose is attached to the pump. Hose couplings should be tightened snugly enough to make airtight connections. Packing, if the pump is so equipped, should always be kept adjusted to prevent excessive leakage. (See operating instructions for proper packing adjustment procedure.)
The following procedure may be used to detect air leaks:
Connect suction hose to the pump with a cap on the opposite end of the hose.
Close all pump openings.
Open the priming valve and operate the primer until a vacuum of from 20 to 22 inches of mercury is shown on the vacuum gauge. (If impossible to draw this much vacuum, primer may need attention.)
CAUTION: Electric motor-driven primers should not be run longer than 45 seconds. Allow time for motor to cool between runs.
Close the priming valve and shut off the primer. If leaks are present, the vacuum will promptly decrease as shown by the vacuum gauge. If the vacuum drops from 22 inches of mercury to less than 12 inches of mercury in five minutes, check for leaks. Air leaks may frequently be detected by ear if the engine is stopped. Applying water or oil to the suspected points may aid in detecting leaks. They may also be found by applying water pressure to the pump and suction hose by means of an auxiliary pump or hydrant. Pressure should be approximately 50 PSI and should not exceed that recommended for the suction hose or pump.
Suction Screens — Clogged intake screens may make it difficult to prime the pump as well as cause the pump to lose its prime after it is started. When operating from draft, be sure to keep the end of the suction hose off the lake or river bottom.
Engine Speed Too Low — Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for priming. Speeds higher than those recommended do not accelerate priming.
Lack of Oil in Primer Reservoir — Where a mechanically driven or electrically driven rotary primer is in use, an adequate supply of lubricant should always be kept in the reservoir to lubricate and "seal" the priming pump.
Improper Clearance in Primer — Due to wear in the priming pump, clearances may become so large as to adversely affect priming. In this case, the proper clearance should be restored by the method outlined by the manufacturer in the priming pump operating instructions.
Defective Priming Valve — A broken or deteriorated priming valve spring may cause the valve to leak and the pump to lose its prime. Worn parts in the priming valve may also allow air leakage.
High Point in Intake Line — High points in the intake line (caused, for example, by running suction hose over a bridge railing) create air pockets that may cause loss of prime. In some cases, it may be impossible to rearrange the suction hose to eliminate the high point. In this case, prime may be obtained by closing the discharge valve immediately when the pressure drops and then repriming. This procedure usually eliminates the air pocket that was drawn into the impellers when the pump was started after first priming; however, it may have to be repeated in some situations.
Lift Too High — Lifts of more than 22 feet should not be attempted, even at low altitudes, unless there are practically no air leaks and the equipment is in new condition. In this case, higher lifts may be obtained.
End of Suction Hose Not Under Water — The end of the hose may be submerged deeply enough for priming, but when a large volume of water is pumped, a whirlpool is sometimes formed, which, may uncover the end of the hose.

Organic Mushroom Farming and Mycoremediation: Simple to Advanced and Experimental Techniques for Indoor and Outdoor Cultivation
Organic Mushroom Farming and Mycoremediation: Simple to Advanced and Experimental Techniques for Indoor and Outdoor Cultivation
Low stock: 8 left
Organic Mushroom Farming and Mycoremediation is a complete guide to indoor and outdoor mushroom cultivation ranging from the fundamentals of mushroom ecology and life cycle to extremely advanced and experimental techniques the author developed for morel cultivation, training mycelium to respond to bacteria and environmental contaminants, and more.
The content of the book is heavily weighted towards cultivation there is only one chapter on mycoremediation but the key point to understand is that throughout the text the author discusses important principles of fungi behaviour that form the foundation of mycoremediation.
Tradd approaches cultivation with a holistic framework, stressing that an understanding of the relationships between organisms and different kingdoms of life is critical to successful cultivation, remediation, or other applications. His approach is also distinctly scientific, guiding readers through lab work and experimentation and constantly reinforcing the idea that the most important skills in mushroom cultivation are careful observation, and the ability to think like a mushroom .

Holt-Rusmore, Evarosa Thalia. 2009. "The Social Reintegration of Women: Reconstructing Womanhood and Moving Past Post-Conflict in Sierra Leone." Berkeley Undergraduate Journal 22 (1): 1–34.
Author: Evarosa Thalia Holt-Rusmore
Because post-conflict contexts are highly complex, the ways in which women both fit within accepted modern discourses of development and maneuver through more traditional systems of development and reconstruction are not fully understood. In Sierra Leone this dynamic is particularly true because of the small size of the population and the extended length of the conflict. Since the end of the civil war in 2002, transnational interventions have been highlighted as having successful programs that have been key in increasing stability in the country. Using the framework of women's reintegration successes, this research aims to show that much of the stability in the country can also be attributed to linkages between past socio-cultural and political practices and institutions. This research shows that these linkages are spaces of strategic manipulation which women use to increase their economic and social standing. I argue that these manipulations between discourses and practices of the past, the present, and the proposed future have contributed to new ways of identity formation for women in Sierra Leone. Explorations in secondary data and theory pertaining to gendered social transformation in post-conflict settings are further informed by two months of intensive fieldwork using ethnographic research methods of participant observation and informal interviews in Sierra Leone in the summer of 2008.

Stories, Games and Articles for EL, Issue -- Experiential Learning 10
October 13, 2009
Experiential Learning 10 - Quote Game
Thank you all for subscribing to 'Stories for EL ...'. I usually begin the newsletter with a game. But this time I felt the need to honor you all for subscribing to EL.
You can download it and use it as long as you credit it to Bob Chadwick the creator of the consensus process.
The Consensus Process is based on the premise that people - whether they know each other or not - are essentially in conflict with each other, because they come with different mindsets and perspectives. However, instead of the diversity becoming a handicap for the trainer/facilitator, the consensus process turns it into an advantage.
The consensus process brings people with conflicting viewpoints to a position where they agree to disagree inspite of ideological differences. From this point of agreement, they are able to generate exponentially valuable solutions and commit to make these solutions work.
Use this manual extensively and you can ask me questions about it at
this e-mail id.
I would also like to hear your comments about my website and/or about this e-zine. You can tell me about it using the form at the bottom of this
Corebeliefs are like mental compasses that steer your thoughts and actions in a certain direction. When left unarticulated they can steer you to a place where either you are confused about how you got there, or your followers are confused (when they begin to think about it) about how they got to a place which does not match the leader's claimed beliefs.
When the leader's actions do not match his/her words, then the words are just rhetoric and are recognised as such by both followers and peers. Unless the leader articulates his/her corebeliefs to himself or herself, she/he will fall into the trap of inauthenticity and lose his/her integrity sooner or later.
This activity will build awareness among participants about how this has been a problem with world leaders and not just the ones that the common man runs into.
For this activity print a few quotes of famous people on large chart size sheets of paper along with the name of the personality who said it. Conceal the name of the personality on each chart. Hang these charts around the room.
Ask participants (a different participant for every quote) to read out the quote. Give the group a couple of minutes to guess the name of the personality who said it. Once the guess is made, move on to the next quote - do not reveal the name of the personality just yet. Keep the most shocking one to the last.
Once all the quotes have been read, begin to reveal the names of the authors; begin with the most shocking one first. The whole exercise is followed by a debrief of the most shocking quote and the reason for the shock.
The conclusions drawn are that leaders are bound to make statements with moral, philosophical overtones. The statements will sooner or later be matched with the actions of the leader. The match will determine the longevity and the extent of the leader's influence.
Any one who wants to exercise significant influence on the people who follow him/her will want to ensure that this influence is not compromised by rhetoric. Hence the need for articulation of corebeliefs and the evaluation of action against them for good leaders.
Now you are probably wondering where you will get these quotes. Never fear, Experiential Learning Games is here!. Check out this page for at least 10 such quotes. You can use these for the activity described above.
I want to warn you, the quotes in the above link have been posed as a test. Take it and have fun playing the same game with yourself. All the best!
To order your e-book and get the bonus go here. It will cost you just $7. Buy it and add the games to your training repertoire. Get a free e-book on Creativity too.

Every year, in the countdown to the Lakes International Comic Art Festival, we bring you a series of interviews with guests at the event. This "Festival Focus" for 2018 is Tomáš Kučerovský, one of the weekend-long event's Czech creators.
Born in 1974 in Brno, Czech Republic, Tomáš Kučerovský graduated from the Faculty of Architecture, Technical University, Brno and is co-founder of Aargh! comics magazine. He lives in Brno and works as a freelance illustrator (book covers, editorial illustrations, advertising, storyboards, board games, game concept art, etc.).
He is a self-publisher and editor-in-chief of comics magazine Aargh! since 2000, together with Tomas Prokupek, and has participated on several comics anthologies in the Czech Republic, Poland, Macedonia, Italy, Japan, Singapore and Belgium.
In 2006, Tomáš participated in a comics workshop in Singapore held by the Asian – European Foundation. In 2012, he was one of the participants of the Brussels in Shorts comics project and Comixiade international comics project.
Since 2012 he has been publishing a comic strip in the Czech street paper Nový Prostor. A comics monography of his work ZOOOM No1 was published in the Czech Republic in 2012.
Tomáš has participated in more than 30 exhibitions both in the Czech Republic and abroad, including Poland, Russia, Romania, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Korea and Singapore.
Tomáš, hat are you working on, comics-wise, right now, and when will it be published?
Tomáš Kučerovský: Short comics – reportage from Bergen festival in Norway, which will be published in Aargh! comics magazine, sadly only in Czech language.
Which comic project you've worked on are you most proud of and where can people see it or buy it?
Tomáš: My comics travelogue from Singapore and workshop held there in 2006 I've participated on. I published it in 2008, again only in Czech. And of course one-page strip called "Wrong Century", which went viral several years ago, to my own surprise. Just Google it together with my name!)
How do you plan your day as a creator? (Do you plan your day?)
Tomáš: I try and fail, everyday. With my daughter born four years ago, I'm still struggling to return to my usual workday schedule, wondering how other people manage to do it.
What's the best thing about being a comics creator?
Tomáš: If you ignore constant lack of time and money – everything.
And the worst?
Tomáš: Knowing the work you've worked on for months will be red in minutes, with the hope of best comment like "Hmm, it's fine…"
What most distracts you from getting your work done?
Tomáš: The need to sleep from time to time, and outside world in general.
Do you think it's easier or harder for young comic creators to get published today?
Tomáš: I believe the possibilities of being seen are much wider than in the past, not only in print. At the same time, the audience you can reach is narrowing, which are two sides of the same coin.
Tomáš: Have you ever been to the Lake District before and if so what did you think of it? If you haven't, what are you expecting?
I've been to the Lake district for two days as a part of a larger trip to Scotland, almost twenty years ago, as a tourist. I'm looking forward to see it again.
Which one comic creator would you most like to meet, and why?
Tomáš: Dave McKean, who changed my mind about what comics could be, Andreas, who most influenced me as a teen, and Francois Schuiten, whom I admire deeply.
How do Festivals and other comics events help creators most, do you think?
Tomáš: Meeting other like-minded people, helping to understand we are all much more alike than we think.
What one piece of advice do you offer people looking to work in the comics industry?
Well since I still don't have the feeling I'm working in comics industry, I'd probably ask them to take me with them. Please? Pretty please?
What's your favourite comic right now and where can people get it?
Tomáš: My Vinnetou Book, by my fellow Czech friend Toy_Box. She's at the Lakes Festival as a guest as well. Translate and publish it, someone, it's really worth it.
Tomáš, thank you very much for your time and we look forward to seeing you in Kendal.

One recent weekday morning, a group of well-groomed men and women gathered, Bibles in hand, in the parking lot of the Kingdom Hall in Canton.
Their destinations, after they divided into two carloads, were the doorsteps of homes in surrounding communities. Their mission was to spread the word that God is interested in mankind and that he will bring about changes in the world.
These are the publishers, the members of the Jehovah's Witnesses who travel door to door to discuss their beliefs. Almost every day, publishers head into nearby neighborhoods from the Kingdom Hall in Canton or Granby to discuss the words of the Bible with anyone who will listen.
It is a task Witnesses undertake to let their neighbors know what they believe the Bible predicts is in store for the world. Judging by the polite but uninterested reception they often receive, it's clear to many Witnesses that their purposes are misinterpreted.

Spirited conversations with ATA donor Jean Cleavinger revealed that we both grew up in Iowa so it was hard not to spin off into tangential conversations. Jean's father was director of the Iowa State Historical Museum in Des Moines from 1959-1980. Her mother worked at the Des Moines Register. As an only child, she spent time in her father's taxidermist shop at the museum. He was well known for his work on birds; together her parents wrote the book Waterfowl in Iowa. Her mother's father from Spirit Lake went on to be the doctor at the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. Jonas Poweshiek, a Mesquakie Indian from Tama, Iowa, who adopted her father, was like a grandfather to her. The … Read More
Board Member Profile: Reflections on a Life Touched By Textiles
Memories flood back: Trying to get the rhythm of my grandmother's treadle sewing machine when she taught me how to sew at age 10 . . . at 16 learning to knit from the neighbor who made me the classic blue and white sweater with skaters on it that I still have—a 1940s pattern. (Interesting that both of my daughters love textiles but are makers and creators in different forms.) My interest in textiles has been a life-long journey. My mother, who got her masters in painting at the University of Iowa in the 1930s, often drove us to the countryside, pointing out colors, textures, and landscapes—encouraging us to try new things and new colors together. Travel has enhanced my ability … Read More
Bolivia: A Textile Adventure Steeped in Tradition
Bolivia has a rich Andean textile tradition, borne of its history as the center of the ancient Tiwanaku empire and later as part of the Inca empire from the 15th to early 16th centuries. The idea of an ATA tour to Bolivia came about during the last Tinkuy in Peru, in conversations with Andean Textile Arts (ATA) board member Betty Doerr and Kevin Healy. Early in his life, Kevin was a Peace Corps volunteer in the Lake Titicaca region along the border between Bolivia and Peru, and then he worked for years as a grant officer for the Inter American Foundation (IAF). Who better to introduce our ATA community to Bolivia? This August, 15 intrepid tour participants joined our favorite … Read More

BusinessObjects Content recovery and Disaster recovery – BO XI 3.x
This is the continuation of my previous blog 'Business Objects Administration- Backup and Recovery' and this blog is all about BI content recovery and failover recovery.
Content recovery
Consider a situation where you accidentally deleted a folder with business critical reports inside it. Some of the approaches to recover the reports and the folder.
- Recover the contents from a BIAR backup
- Recover the contents from another system (If you are in Prod. recover from QA)
- Restore CMS and FRS backup in a temporary server and use the Import Wizard to get the desired reports that are deleted.
Let us discuss each method one by one
1. Recover the contents from a BIAR backup
Recovering contents from BIAR file is straight forward and you should have a appropriate .biar file in hand before restore. We will be using Import wizard to restore the contents.
2. Recover the contents from another system
We can do the report migration from another environment. If you are in Production environment and you have deleted some reports, we can still recover the reports from QA server. Again we will be using Import wizard to restore the contents.
We need to ensure that the reports in both environments are in sync and no change is made to reports in Production environment alone (Proper SDLC cycle).
3. Restore CMS and FRS backup in a temporary server
Sometimes we may need to restore our Business Objects environment back to a given point in time but still keep the original system up and running.This will enable us to investigate and export selected BI content back to the original environment to avoid complete restore. We need to have temporary Business Objects environment setup, FRS and CMS database backups as prerequisites. The recovery sequence would be
- Restore the CMS database and FRS directories to a temporary database and temporary Filestore.
- Log on to the restored CMS database and run the following
Delete from CMS_INFOOBJECTS6 where ParentID=16
(to delete any reference to original Business Objects environment )
- In CCM stop the SIA and Go to Properties -> Configuration tab. Change the data source to point to the restored CMS database and change the cluster name to different to the cluster being restored.Change Cluster name for Input and Output repository servers to same as for CMS.
- Start the SIA and use the Import Wizard to copy the deleted contents directly to the original environment.
Disaster recovery
For disaster recovery we need to follow the approach which is similar to Approach-3 with some addition steps.
- Restore the CMS database and FRS directories
- Delete all the references to the original server in Disaster recovery CMS database as follows
Delete from CMS_INFOOBJECTS6 where ObjectID= 4 (to delete cluster entries)
Delete from CMS_INFOOBJECTS6 where ParentID=59 (to delete SIA entries)
Delete from CMS_INFOOBJECTS6 where TypeID= 16 (to delete server entries)
Delete from CMS_INFOOBJECTS6 where TypeID= 17 (to delete server group entries)
Delete from CMS_INFOOBJECTS6 where ParentID=16 (to delete any BO service if remaining)
- In CCM select "Add Server Intelligent Agent", Use the Name and Port number of existing SIA (default port-6410) and select "Create default servers on the new node" and "Recreate Server Intelligence Agent on the local host, if it already exists in the CMS system database"
- Assign a port to the CMS (by default 6400) and select the restored CMS database.
- Once SIA is created, go to SIA > Properties > Configuration and modify the ClusterName of the restored environment to be different from the production environment and start the SIA
- To Delete the Old SIA (node), Go to the CCM
- Create a new SIA, give the name of the SIA you want to delete and use a different port (i.e. 6411)
- Select "Create no servers on the new node" and "Recreate Server Intelligent Agent on the local host if it is already exist in the CMS System database"
- The SIA running is the one coming up
- Provide the Username/password associated and finish the configuration
- After few minutes the system get back to the CCM. Now delete the new SIA created using the Newly created running SIA credentials.
The old SIA is completely removed and your Business Objects DR Server is ready to use now.
Hope the blog is Interesting. Keep reading!

As lockdown measures across the UK ease, and businesses turn to consider the future of work post-pandemic, employee wellbeing remains a prominent area of concern. Work-related stress and anxiety are of course nothing new, but this last year has seen employee burnout reach fever pitch. 46% of UK workers feel 'more prone to extreme levels of stress' now than they did in March 2020, while one in five feel they are currently 'unable to manage stress and pressure in the workplace'1.
It is against this backdrop that the practice and simplicity of mindfulness has garnered mainstream appeal.
In this episode of Fundamentals, Aoifinn Devitt, Head of Investment – Ireland, explores the idea of 'mindful investing' and its practical implications for investment professionals. Her guest is Gary Greenberg, CFA, Head of Global Emerging Markets, who as a practicing Buddhist with more than 35 years' experience in the investment industry, brings a wealth of knowledge to the discussion.
"Mindfulness is allowing yourself to be in the now… and that means when you're in a situation, you monotask rather than multitask", says Greenberg. Being a present and active meeting participant, for example, means dealing with any personal needs or distractions before entering the room, so that you're able to give colleagues your full attention.
And for listeners who might find the prospect of meditation a little daunting, Greenberg has the following words of reassurance, "You can start with as little as five minutes a day. There are some very simple practices that one can do, like following one's breath… The important thing is just to practice and as you practice, you will get better".
For Greenberg, mindfulness provides a means to step back and approach problems in "a relaxed, clear way". While it may seem counterintuitive, he accredits meditation with boosting his overall productivity by forcing him to slow down, "There's an old expression in America: "Measure twice and cut once". In other words, if you're just careful, you'll be more efficient in what you do".
To find out more about what investment professionals can do to approach the working day more mindfully, tune in to Fundamentals.
Greenberg's latest piece, "Zen and the art of investment management", is available now on our website.

Dear Bruno, You claim: "all computations exists independently of the existence of anything physical". I never heard, apart probably from Berkeley and Tegmark, a more untestable, metaphyisical, a-scientific, unquantifiable claim. Dear FISers, we NEED to deal with something testable and quantifiable, otherwise we are doing philosophy and logic, not science! Even if information is (as many FISers suggest) at least in part not physical, we NEED to focus just on the testable part, i.e., the physical one. And, even if physics does not exist, as Bruno states, at least it gives me something quantifiable and useful for my pragmatic purposes. Even if information is something subjective in my mind (totally untestable, but very popular claim) who cares, by a scientific standpoint? If I say that Julius Caesar was killed by an alien, the theory is fashinating, but useless, unless I provide proofs or testable clues. -- Inviato da Libero Mail per Android venerdì, 27 aprile 2018, 10:10AM +02:00 da Bruno Marchal marc...@ulb.ac.be :

The second half of the Norse Code podcast, Episode 12 is up. If you want a break from the Josh Freeman talk, we (mostly) avoid that issue and instead recap the Steelers-Vikings game before breaking into our usual features, the number of the week and wild prognostications.
Episode Notes:
- Out of 252 coaches since 1940, Brian Daboll, the final offensive coordinator for Matt Cassel, was the most run-happy coach in NFL history (not just since 1999). To look at situation-adjusted run/loss balance, check out Football Perspective's take. Charlie Weis was more pass-happy than average. Brad Childress ranked as the 49th-most pass-happy coach and Musgrave ranked 169.
- Here's an explanation of how the Erhardt-Perkins offense has a superior terminology out of the prevalent offensive systems. It also explains the "route package" or "pass concept" strategies that I mentioned in the podcast. Each side of the line has a different route package and you can switch them out. The author argues that terminology is a big part of being able to run hurry-up offenses effectively.
- Here's another, shorter, breakdown on the difference in the offensive systems. Notably, the Erhardt-Perkins is described as a possession offense that is schematically disadvantaged in "come back" situations.
- And here's an excellent analysis of the offense, with a note that it can be combined with other offensive philosophies. It has the best historical perspective of all the links, if you're interested in that stuff. It also mentions that Vikings OL coach Jeff Davidson is a staunch Erhardt-Perkins disciple
- Musgrave himself considers his offensive philosophy as an EP-type offense.
- Here's Justis talking about "Close Game Theory" and how it can be useful for predicting future seasons (or avoiding most others' predictions)
- And the most recent edition of "Thank You for Not Coaching" is up from Bill Barnwell. He mentions the Steelers game, but reserves his ire for Mike Tomlin, not Leslie Frazier.
- Partway through the Bengals-Packers game, when they were winning (a game they would ultimately lose), there are a ton of people calling for Mike McCarthy's head on the official Packers blog. Perhaps spoiled by success, they've even started a petition!
- Back to Football Perspective for the Dungy Index. Relatedly, the Schottenheimer Index measures coaching performance in playoffs relative to expectations (as determined by Vegas). Even more to the point, the Manning Index (named after Peyton, not Eli) looks at "clutchness" in the playoffs vs. expectations. Although yes, Eli is first. Peyton is last. No comment.
- By the way, the Flacco Index exists, and it determines how much a quarterback was helped by his defense. His defense gave him a win expectation of 42 games of 64, and he won 44. Tom Brady and Peyton Manning are at the top of the list by a huge margin.

Secrets of Pro House Flippers
Flipping homes has become such an enticing business, there are TV shows dedicated to it. But how hard is it, really?
Massachusetts is the most profitable state to flip a home, according to financial news site 24/7 Wall St. The average 2013 Massachusetts flip sold for $300,000 more than the original purchase price and generated $103,384 in gross profit.
That's certainly not chump change, but those looking to get into such a potentially lucrative business might be wondering how hard flipping is to do.
Thanks to television, the term "flipping a house'' sometimes conjures up images of men in expensive suits buying crappy houses for dirt cheap, throwing a coat of paint on decrepit walls, and then selling the homes at huge price increases – fast.
But this isn't exactly reality — at least not if you're doing it right, said Peter Souhleris, one of the owners of CityLight Homes, a Peabody-based property buying and selling company.
"Some people consider themselves flippers, and they just do paint and carpet,'' Souhleris said. This is not what CityLight does, he added.
House flipping is a complex process. First, you have to find a house in a "distressed situation,'' which means the owners need to sell it for cheap, due to anything from bankruptcy, to divorce, to foreclosure. The house should also need significant rehabilitation, whether it's the roof, walls, floors, foundation, or more. The house flippers then restore and improve the house, and sell, or "flip'' it, for a profit.
Souhleris and his partner, Dave Seymour, have 18 years of combined experience flipping homes. They even have a TV show about it, "Flipping Boston,'' on A&E. Souhleris described houses they've flipped that involved collapsed foundations, rotted doors, and 100-year-old walls.
These are common challenges that true house flippers face – especially in Boston, where a preponderance of historic homes and inclement weather makes the industry quite difficult at times.
"The average home is over one hundred years old,'' Souhleris said of Boston neighborhoods. "New England is not like Florida or Las Vegas where developments are cookie cutter. The house next door could be completely different.''
The men remember projects where they've been pounded with rain and snow from nor'easters, delaying deals with contractors to complete roofing and flooring.
Situations like this are not for the faint of heart. But Souhleris and Seymour said they love the task, and are a well-prepared duo: Souhleris has a background in architecture and interior design, while Seymour, a former firefighter, ran a small construction company for years.
With the 2012 recovery of the real estate market, flipping houses has become more and more popular.
Tom Cafarella is a partner at Ocean City Development, a real estate solutions company that serves the Greater Boston area. Cafarella said that when he first got into the house flipping business 10 years ago, he'd bid for houses against one or two other people. Now, he said he often faces bidding wars with as many as 28 other people.
"When we started, the market was going straight up,'' Cafarella said. "Then, when the market crashed in 2007-8-9, the market was flooded with foreclosures. All of that inventory has been taken off the market.''
The house flipping business can be pretty challenging for newbies, Cafarella said. Since so many properties have been scooped up since the recession, it's very hard to find distressed properties in the Greater Boston area without expensive, extensive marketing campaigns. But they're worth looking for.
Aaron Katz is a Boston-based development agent and franchise owner with HomeVestors, a national network of real estate investors. Katz said the good thing about flipping homes in Greater Boston is that "pretty much all of Eastern Massachusetts is in high demand.'' So if you're lucky enough to get ahold of a distressed property, and skilled enough to rehab it, the house should "fly off the shelves.''
"Boston is one of the hardest cities in the country to get a deal in,'' Katz said. "Because the market is so strong, and houses are in such high demand, and there's so little space to build. Homeowners don't need to sell their house at a discount.''
So besides the age of homes, and the weather, and the scarcity of cheap real estate, what other challenges do prospective home flippers face in Boston? Souhleris said it's very hard for first-timers to adequately guess how much a rehabilitated home will sell for, so it's important for them to "know their market.''
"You don't want to buy a house thinking you'll sell it for $500,000 and sell for $400,000,'' Seymour added. This can be tricky in Boston, where neighborhoods are often comprised of houses of all different ages and architectural styles. That's why you should get multiple estimates from realtors and talk to various contractors about the extent of work the house needs.
Katz also said there are certain rehab projects you should steer clear from. Underground oil tanks are risky, he said, because you can't see if they'releaking. A tank found to be leaking into the ground "could drive up a $2,000 expense to well over $200,000,'' he said.
Katz also said to stay away from property that has no real value. There's no point in throwing money into renovating a house that no one wants because it's on the corner of a busy highway.
Cafarella said the only projects he avoids are layouts that can't be changed: "Crazy low ceilings or chopped-up rooms,'' he said. "If you can't change a property much, it's hard to add value. You see that with some of these crazy 1700 and 1800 buildings.''
But from Cafarella to Katz, to Seymour and Souhleris, all men said they find their job rewarding. They mentioned the freedom of being their own bosses, and the joy of helping homeowners unburden themselves of properties they can't keep.
Perhaps the best part, Seymour said, is the accomplishment he feels after a successful rehabilitation project.
"The hardest part is the best part,'' Seymour said. "Getting to the finish line and watching it go to market. You feel pride and honor. You can look at pictures of that piece of real estate and know the story behind every room and how awful it was when you bought it and how beautiful it is after.''

Today, I woke up at 6 A.M. . Porsche woke up after me as usual. I brushed my teeth and changed my clothes as usual. Then, Tricia provided Porsche and I our breakfast. It was blueberry bread and some donuts. They were quite delicious. Next, Porsche, Tricia, the kids and I went to Megan's house again. We picked her up again us usual. After that, we went to the school and met Jensen once again. Then, Megan and I went to the Spanish class. Ms. Doll told us to do some additional Spanish exercises in groups. I managed to help Megan and her friends in some Spanish questions, but after that I couldn't help much, because I hadn't studied Spanish yet. After the hour was finished, we went to the Math class. It was pretty much about the quadratic equations which I had learn before, so it was quite easy. Next, we went to the Art Class again. This period was a study hall period, so I just do something else or talk to others. I also watched a school video concering about general school topics and events. Megan and I also went to the Science class for a little bit along with Porsche and Jensen. Then, we went to the Gym. We did some jogging for some minutes, because our teachers were preparing us to run for about a mile. Today's main activity was Capture The Flag which you would need to capture your opposing side's flags and took it to your side's area. In the opposing side's area, there were hoops which other people and I could use to stage the stealing of the opposing side' flags. Be aware that the opposing side could also use the hoops on our side in order to steal our flags too. If anyone was tagged, he or she would be sent to the jail. That person could be freed if he or she managed to get the ball thrown from their friends or their friends managed to free the that person out. It was quite fun, but I didn't know how to play this properly. It would need some time to get used to this kind of game. Then, Megan and I went to the English class. Today, Mr. Larsen led us read us more books and made an account for shelfari which was designed for reading. It was kind of interesting.
Next, we went to the cafeteria. I microwaved 4 mini-cheeseburgers and ate them. They were delicious. I also ate a cup of butterscotch pudding and some nachoes. Megan gave me some pineapples too. They were also delicious too. After that, we went back to the English class ,and read more about our books. Then, the period was finished. So, we went to the History class and studied more about the causes of the U.S. entry into the war. I also helped Megan with that too. I discovered that Megan would be busy going to play football or something else, so she dropped me in the Science class. Jensen and Porsche picked me up . We went to the Spanish class again, but in a different room with a different teacher. Her name was Ms. Johnson. I didn't do anything much, because I had pretty much no skills in Spanish. So, I talked to Jensen and others about Thailand and other things. I also handed them my icebreaker presentation. They were quite interested in them. Some of them even thought that the photos were actually photoshopped! I had some fun in doing these kinds of things. Porsche actually believed that Ms. Johnson's name was actually a cool name. I wasn't quite sure on that one though. Then, Porsche and I waited at the outside of the school. Next, Porsche and I got picked up by Dave. We went to our house at about 3.30 A.M. . Then, we started relaxing and do something else. I also played Pool with Porsche. It was kind of ok, but I lacked skills in that kind of thing. Porsche won that one. Later on, Phu came in and played with Porsche before he returned to his house. After that , Porsche and I had our dinner, it was barbequed pork ribs and some potatoes. They were very delicious. Then, we relaxed further and uploaded our blogs. Finally, we went to bed.

Epsom Salt
Epsom salts will pull out infection from wounds in scalp infections. I mixed it about 1/2 cup of epsom salt to 1 quart of hot water.
Submerge infected area in solution 4 times a day. If unable to submerge area, just use washcloth to dip in solution and apply over infected are (hot compress method) 4 times a day. I have seen this cure infection after red streak was running up arm (indicative of blood poisoning). No antibiotics were needed. I have many times bathed in 1-2 cups epsom salts in hot bath when muscles or nerves said "help".You really feel relaxed.
I have also used a saturated solution of Apple Cider Vinegar and epsom salts to clear up deep infected ulcers in scalp; No antibiotics were needed. Swab ulcers.
Grapefruit Seed Extract
I was originally using Tea Tree Oil for the scabs on my scalp. When it got worse (not from Tea Tree Oil) I used 3 drops of grapefruit seed extract in my shampoo, as suggested by someone. After only 2 hair washes, the scabs are 3/4 gone. I also use grapefruit seed extract for teeth and gums.
(North Carolina)
Can you say more about how you use GSE for teeth and gums? Thanks!
Grapefruit Seed Extract
I had recurring problems with scalp fungus. It wasn't too bad in summer, when I was out in the sun and swimming in salt water, but come late fall and winter I would get large pieces of scalp flaking off and my hair would be greasy. My hair was thinning out and my scalp was itchy.
I tried GSE (grapefruit seed extract) by putting a few drops in my shampoo. I mixed them together in the palm of my hand each time I shampooed, which was every other day.I left the lather in for two minutes or so. The results were immediate, now I just have a slight touch of dandruff, no itch and my hair seems to be getting a little thicker. My hair and scalp definitely look better as well.
Iodine Rinse
I've had an itchy scalp for over a year, lost over 3/4 of my hair. I've been through all the meds the recommendations offered by everyone, don't think there is anything I haven't tried.
Well anyhow, this is what worked for me and it may or may not work for you: In a plastic container add a quarter teaspoon of tincture of iodine (the brown liquid) and about a quarter cup of warm water, mix. Daily during your shower, wash hair with cool water without any shampoo or conditioner, then apply this mixture as a final rinse, whilst ensuring none of it gets in to the eyes. Immediately wrap a clean towel to the hair. Leave hair to dry naturally and before you know the hair feels softer and manageable - the plus factor 'No Itching".... Hurrah! I also use this mixture for my final rinse after my weekly shampoo and conditioner application. Initally I used this mixture for 4 days, had a break for a couple of days, the itching returned with a vengence. Good luck. Kate

Hi Francisca, I came up with this remedy myself. Initially I used to pour the iodine in a bowl and apply it to my scalp with my fingertips. As my hair roots were weak due to the fungus or whatever was causing the itching the iodine strength was too strong. I thought of the idea of diluting the iodine which has seemingly worked. I also steam my hair once a day to get rid of the calcium deposits. I wish you the best and hope something will help you with your hair. Good Luck.
Jojoba, Tea Tree Oil, Clove Oil
Staphylococcal Folliculitis Scalp Infection:
I have been very successful with a mixture of jojoba oil/tea tree/clove oil in a spray bottle. I put the nozzle to my scalp and get just the right amount with no mess. I massage my scalp and leave this on overnight. No more itch or follicle pain and my hair is growing back. I also added biotin to help the hair grow.
I had scalp issues for 4 years after 3 dermatologist & many scalp prescriptions.... I used two lemons just squeezed them on scalp and it cleaned my whole scalp from fungus, dandruff. & dustmites.
Lugol's Iodine and Borax Spray
This helped me rid my scalp of the itchy, peeling condition.
You'll need:
- 2 ounce sprayer bottle
- 1 ounce distilled water
- .75 ounce 70/30 alcohol. Having this amount alcohol will keep this self-preserved!
- 8 drops Lugol's Iodine
- 1/8 tsp borax, this is equivalent of a tiny pinch
Allow solution to sit and dilute the borax or it will clog sprayer.
Note: You can use without borax.
Use several times a day. If you have demodex, spray as soon as you feel a tickle.
This may hurt on affected area, but as they dry up and flake off this will no longer happen. Benefits easy to use, less discoloration than using full strength iodine.
Use on body parts without having iodine stain, knees, feet etc.
Do not add any other oils, or herbs to this - it will make it hard to preserve and you can make the spray bacteria soup.
Multiple Remedies
Scalp Fungus:
Used several RX shampoos and pills. I even tried multiple products and remedies over the years. Your site finally solved my scalp issues. I think it must have been more than one type fungus that was causing my head to itch, burn and go bald. I used the white vinegar, aspirin and Epsom salt spray twice a day for 7 days. The area burned and peeled but it was 85% better. Even the lumpiness of my scalp was immediately reduced. After it dried I applied pure coconut to soothe it. Sometimes the coconut oil burned. I occasionally used antibiotic ointment when peeling was too severe. Only the bald spot where fungi were burned and peeled. Then I used Absorbine Jr for a 7 days which burned more and peeled more. But still it was healing and getting better. Applied pure coconut oil to soothe. This also sometimes burned. I occasionally added an antibiotic ointment in place of coconut oil.
Finally I used Listerine as many times a day as I wanted. It tingled and felt refreshing but no burn. My hair is growing back and there is hardly ever any itch. I am continuing the Listerine twice a day until I never feel an itch! Thanks for your site Ted! God led me to this place of healing. I pray others with stubborn scalp issues are so blessed!
Holy cow I had to post a reply to you goodness gracious to her putting a lot of stuff on your head besides the burning in the peeling did all this stuff on your head work quickly? And was there like one simple tactic that work better than the others because frankly I don't really want the Arsenal that you have I'd like to just use whatever seemed to be the most potent and and and and and rewarding I guess I should say. I'm not itching I just have the really dry scalp it could be from the Nevada extreme hard water too much minerals but I've stripped my hair down and I did the T gel which seem to make it worse and I have like magic marker the fat kind little bald spots that are you know growing back slowly but still scaly dry so it's just going to get damaged in Fallout and if I don't do the T gel every single day and I don't take a shower or wash my hair the following day I literally like a scary amount of hair falls out so I don't know what the if I have and I'm not going to go to the dermatologist and get overcharged for prescription shampoo that's not going to work and then try another kind and constantly do the rinse and repeat game so out of all your stuff which one was most rewarding to get your hair to start growing back and these little patches to go away and yes I do have the weird painful lump area that is like enticing to pick especially for picker and it kind of hurt but those are actually going away with it shampoo. Now I just need my hair to stop falling out and bees little spiky spots to actually grow hairback with a quickness for I'm a natural blonde and we naturally have thin hair and don't mistake that for thin frail hair we can have a lot of thin hair and appear in sick but we still have actual thin strands dainty hair so it sucks to lose it cuz I need to actually take me feel like feel like you have thin limp hair and yeah it does a great deal of damage to your ego and mental state of feeling pretty. Sorry for the run on sentences using speak to text and making breakfast for my twins that are one-year-old which could also be while I'm losing my hair XOXO Sawyer

Hi Ted. my hair started coming out by the handful. now my scalp is itchy, flaky and smelly. It smells like sweat and dirt, a few days after I have washed it. Sometimes if feels like pins and needle pain, sometimes it feels like something is crawling on my scalp and sometimes it is painful. I also have tiny bumps I my hair and I am getting these pimple looking bumps on my body. I have tried the tea tree oil. colloidal silver, drinking borax water, Apple Cider Vinegar and rinsing with peroxide. Antibiotics helped for a bit, but when I stopped taking them, it got worse. I have washed my hair with t-gel and selenium sulfite. This has been going on for years. I have bald spots, thin spots and broken hair. Thank goodness I had super thick hair, or I would be completely bald by now.

I have had problems with my hair on and off for approx 20 years and I have just recently gotten it under control. I have started taking a formula made with Lactated Pepsin, Black Snake Root Extract, Essence of Wild Ginseng, Atomic Iodine, Extract of Liver, and Grain Alcohol. You can look that up and get it! I also use Pennsylvania crude oil and Vaseline on my scalp; I rub it in and then I use a small vibrator with a cup attachment for 20-30 minutes. I use this approx 3x a month. I also use Listerine on my scalp after I wash my hair, which I wash with an Olive Oil based shampoo and conditioner. I use Listerine about 1x per month. However, it will not hurt you to use it more! When I haven't drank any alcohol, I use the "Violet Ray" machine on my scalp for 2-3 minutes whenever I feel the need to use it. It may sound like a lot, and maybe it is, but I have done it for so long, it is second nature, the only thing I added recently was the formula.
Nail Polish, Prescription
Tinea Capitis (Cure !!!)
this should be curable for ANY and EVERYONE who is suffering '' Tinea Capitis '' .... i had to deal with the infection for almost a year until i tried 2 things
1. '' CLEAR NAIL POLISH '' this is the main remedy
(as far as to MAKE THE HAIR GROW BACK) , apply either at night everynight and the next morning PEEL or SCRAPE the polish off (yes it may hurt) and u should start noticing hair growing back little by little within 3 days .... for FULL spot treatment it will take either a month or two depending on how often u use polish .... 2 coats a day should be faster
BUT you need to use remedy #2 1st for a month ,#2 below
2.because tinea capitis is a fungal infection UNDER your scalp the polish aides for the hair growth but as far as KILLING THE FUNGUS SPREAD u need to get a presciption pill called '' Grifulvin '' and u need to take one a day for a month BEFORE U START USING THE POLISH , you need to at least stop the fungus from living PERIOD (this pill has a dozen side effects one mainly being migraines ALL DAY so just try to withstand them all) .... try this out it worked for me i suffered with TC for a year .... my nightmare is OVER .... and so should yours .... god bless
(Medford, Or)
I would hesitate to use a dangerous combination of chemicals (nail polish) on the scalp when it is so close to the brain. For the same reason that many won't use commercial shampoos with chemicals, I believe nail polish on scalp should be avoided. I believe the same applies to prescription anti fungal creams on the scalp. Of course these products will be absorbed by the body.. The skin transports to the body whatever we apply to it. (see below) I've used white vinegar/distilled water (50/50) to very effectively clear up scalp. (pour on as final rinse in shower, or use with q-tips on sore spots) White iodine combined with vodka for hair growth.
"(NaturalNews) Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), a chemical used to keep nail polish from chipping, has been connected to cancer in lab animals as well as long-term fertility issues in newborn boys -- leaving the cosmetics industry in a heavy debate over whether to continue use of the ingredient. Environmental groups are calling for a ban on DBP in the United States, and some big name companies such as Estee Lauder have preemptively removed the chemical from their products, but other brands such as OPI, Essie and Sally Hansen continue to use it. While the FDA must approve nail polishes before they can be sold, there are no laws that require companies to prove their products are safe first.

Good day! This post is about the treatment of human demodex on scalp, first, I would like to tell you guys my story on having human demodex, several months ago I have had these redness and itchiness in my scalp accompanied by a foul odor, the condition threatened me enough so I scheduled a visit to a dermatologist immediately to prevent it from getting worse, the she told me it was human demodex caused by mites. I then asked for a treatment, cure or remedy for it, she gave me both these Shampoo D'modex and Hair n Scalp conditioner, they are to be used together for best results, both of them are used to eliminate the mites. After a few days, I already noticed obvious improvements, the foul odor was gone immediately, the itchiness and redness lessened. I hope this post would help people in the future for treatment of human demodex. Thank you!
Radiation Sores Remedies
Hi! I am looking for something to heal radiation damage done to my mothers' scalp. She is happy and healthy, but she cannot get the weeping sore to heal on the top of her head.

Scalp Infection Remedies
I need help, my scalp is slowing but surely balding, lately there are sores that present with pus. I have had this problem for about 6 years now and I am getting exasperated. Now I can only wear wigs. The bold patches have come close to the forehead.
After visiting many skin specialists, some of whom thought it was a genetic problem, two of them finally believe it is a fungal infection. I am currently taking grisofulvin, so far 3 weeks.
Please, if you know of any solution, I will be really greaful. Thanks. Carol.
Hi, I had the same problem from past 6 years. I found this site and gone through several feedback and post of TED and Bill. Doing so helped in my problem. I am not fully recovered but it certainly helped me with my condition. Please follow below procedure and let me know if this helps.
1. Change your diet. Drink plenty of water, no sugar, no yeast food item, no fastfood etc, no fry food. This needs to be followed very strictly.
2. Mix (1/4 tbsp for male or 1/8 tbsp for female) of borax in a water and drink throughout the day.
3. Take 2 tablespoon ACV + (1/2 tablespoon baking soda for male or 1/4 tbsp for female). You will see bubble once you mix this. Let it settle and then mix 1 cup of water and drink it twice in day on empty stomach.
4. Before taking shower add ACV + water in 1:2 ratio in a spray bottle. Apply it on scalp and let it sit for 30 min. Then wash the scalp with mild herbal shampoo.
Hope this help. Also, you need to be patience to see the results.

Hi Caroline! I would recommend using "Borax" to wash your hair with especially if it is a fungal infection. I use it in my bath as well as wash every part of my body with it. Including a douche for vaginitis! A cure all it is. There are a great deal of posts on here regarding it's uses. Drinking borax mixed with water and lemon help cleanse your body inside and out.
Just thought I'd add this for everyone here who is suffering with scalp issues. Look into: "How to eat for your blood type" by Dr. Adamo. (You can google this info online.) Find your personal food chart / for your blood type. We all have beneficial, neutral and avoid foods. This blood type chart has always helped me feel and look better. Another critical step: drink a healthy organic green vegetable drink every day. These drinks will help keep your PH levels in a alkaline state; and will significantly help your skin and system detox it self. For the last 2 weeks, my scalp really flared up on me. It was super irritated, red and itchy with hair fall. Kind of a miracle happened yesterday; after I drank my green drink. My scalp completely mellowed out within an hour. I'm not kidding. I was pretty happy about this and knew I should share what happened. Any good combo of organic veggie's will work and add these things if you'd like. My green drink consisted of:
Kale, 2 carrots, 3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice, 1/2 of a cucumber, and a handfull of spinach.
( I added: 6 to 7 drops of pure oregano oil, heaping tsp. of tumeric powder, 1 tsp. of milk thistle powder and 1 tsp. of spirlina powder.
These drinks can be a bit strong at first, but I swear by them. I have seen how they have adjusted my Ph level into a alkaline state often, enough to know that this is a critical step in being healthy and helping your body defend against issues and immune weaknesses.
P.S. Oregano Oil, has some amazing healing properties. Research it .. and follow directions accordingly. It's powerful; so I would not over do it. Just use a few drops to start.
