Director-General meets Minister of Forest Economy of the Republic of Congo
18 September 2013, Rome, Italy – FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva, met Henri Djombo, Minister of Forest Economy and Sustainable Development of the Republic of Congo, on 18 September.
Both leaders exchanged views on issues of common interest, including a proposal by Congo to improve coordination among the world's three tropical forest basins. In this context, Graziano da Silva underlined that the issue had also been raised during his meeting last July with the Brazilian Minister of Environment, Izabella Teixeira, as well as with Indonesian authorities during his official visit to Jakarta last May. Both countries expressed their willingness to find ways to strengthen South-South cooperation on issues of common interest related to the tropical basins.
During the meeting held at FAO Headquarters, the Director-General underscored that the Organization has a broad mandate and that its position as an international forum could help dialogue in this coordination process.
The Congolese cooperation initiative with Haiti for forest plantation was also discussed as a good example of South-South cooperation between Africa and South America. In addition, the meeting highlighted the importance of the pan-African certification system for forestry products.
Graziano da Silva and Djombo also exchanged views on the preparation of the international conference on the fight against illegal hunting and the illegal trade of biodiversity products, which will take place in Brazzaville in 2014.

Rule #1 - Be Patient - Rule #2 - Don't ask when, if you don't contribute - Rule #3 - You have coding skills - LinuxMCE's small brother is available: http://www.agocontrol.com
Good day folks!Could someone familiar with the camera, motion wrapper, and e-mail (or other) notifications possibly point me in the right direction?I have two DCS-930L IP cameras configured with motion wrapper, which are visible on RoamingOrb and the Admin site (I'm not running MD's yet other than for preliminary testing). The cameras have on-board motion detection and e-mail alerting, which I'm presently using to e-mail me about motion events. The onboard software is pretty limited, so I get spammed when light levels change, and when I'm home, and so on. I'd like to move the alerting and e-mail notification to LMCE, so I can add some smarts to it using event logic, and I'm wondering if:A) it's functionality that presently exists, or if it'll take something like kmotion,B) if so, what kind of event is emitted by motion wrapper (tripped, motion, true/false, number of pixels...), andC) if anyone else is doing the same thing, and how is it working out for themI'm just hoping to avoid running down a few rabbit holes... I've tried putting together some events, but not sure if I'm on the right track. If someone could point me in the right direction, I'll go looking for the light Thanks!/Mike
MikeDid you get anywhere with this? I've been planning to head down the same route... experimenting with using my IP camera to generate events based on motion detection. Also still struggling a bit searching the wiki and forums to see if there is a "standard" way to do it.James
Question to anyone presently using the Cameras functionality. How do you presently access or view the stored camera footage? I don't see anywhere to view the stored events/alerts in the Roaming Orb Orbiter, I only see it in the LMCE Web Admin (Security -> Alerts Log). Am I correct in assuming that this functionality is presently limited to the WebAdmin only (meaning not present in MD Orbiters)?Thanks for your time!/Mike

Sean Avery takes jab at Martin Brodeur's failed marriage
The running feud between Martin Brodeur and Sean Avery is apparently the gift that keeps on giving.
On Thursday, Avery, the retired NHL pest, took to Twitter to express his displeasure with a comment Brodeur made to the New Jersey Star-Ledger.
The newspaper asked the 41-year-old goalie for his thoughts on Avery being cut from Dancing With The Stars after only two weeks on the reality TV show.
"I didn't watch — I don't watch those shows — but I was watching NHL Network and they mentioned it," Brodeur said before adding, "What more could he do to embarrass himself? There it is!"
Avery, not one to mince his words, had a quick response.
"Woke up beside a #Supermodel to hear news that #Fatso made a comment," he said via Twitter. Avery noted DWTS supports charitable organizations. "Fatso" is Avery's nickname for Brodeur. (This tweet has since been deleted.)
The real zinger came next: "Embarrassing is when you sleep with the #Nanny and get caught :)"
Avery, who retired from hockey in 2012, is alluding to Brodeur's broken first marriage in that second tweet. The future Hall of Famer reportedly had an affair with his sister-in-law, who later became his new wife.
Perhaps the best known Avery-Brodeur confrontation occurred in 2008 when the "Avery Rule" was hatched. The agitator, then with the New York Rangers, waved his stick in the air in front of Brodeur during a playoff series.
The maneuver wasn't considered illegal at the time. However, it prompted the league to look into over-the-top screening techniques and establish new grounds for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

Pro-Wrestling-Inspired MMA Move of The Day: Cambodian Fight Ends Via Boston Crab
Because every country needs to have its own MMA promotion these days, Cambodia's Khmer Warrior Championship put on an event in Phnom Penh on Sunday, headlined by Soung Sovantha (never heard of him) vs. Bun Heang (never heard of him). You can check out the fights on the khmersexystars YouTube channel…or just watch our favorite one above, which pits Von Savy against Bun Mang. Yep, two dudes named Bun were on the same card. It is what it is.
The fight itself is pretty uneventful, up until the finish. The two fighters appear to have Muay Thai backgrounds from their stances, but neither Savy (red trunks) nor Mang (blue trunks) engaged much for the first couple of minutes. There is a lot of feeling out, a tiny bit of clinch work and two effective leg kicks from Savy.
Then, it happens.
Mang throws a left leg kick to the body that is caught by Savy, who sweeps his opponent off of his feet, grabs both of Mang's feet by the ankles and locks on a freaking Boston Crab.
Anyone who has first-hand experience with high school locker room wrestling matches knows that the Boston Crab hold, popularized by Professional Wrestling, hurts a whole lot if you're bad enough to let your opponent apply it.Read More DIGG THIS

The Barrow County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday night approved — quite begrudgingly — the proposed annexations of six county parcels that will extend Winder's city boundaries all of the way to prize commercial property north of Highway 316. But it became crystal clear that while county officials feel they cannot legally stop Winder from crossing the highway to pull in Barrow Crossing, they sure don't want them to.
Before voting 4-2, with Larry Joe Wilburn and Isaiah Berry against, to approve the initial group of small annexations cutting the city's needed path to the Gateway property, several commissioners blindsided Winder's mayor and other city officials with their objections. The annexations approved at the meeting do not yet include that plum commercial area known as the Gateway at University Parkway, but developer Wayne Bartlett told the Barrow Journal on Tuesday that if city officials agree not to require any additional zoning or other regulatory changes for his properties, he would go along with the city's annexation request.
For the full story, see the Oct. 10 issue of the Barrow Journal.

A never-ending argument is that of the ultimate SEO browser plugin/extension/add-on setup. How a SEO uses and displays tools within the browser is a reflection of personality and demeanor, therefore arguments can understandably get pretty heated between even the best of colleagues. As it turns out, a lot of energy can be saved when focusing the foundation of the argument on categorizing add-ons by task orientation.
For example, a set of extensions will be more relevant for helping find link building targets and a different set when auditing a site. Keeping these things in mind, this article will explore how SEO extensions for Chrome lack the ability to display metrics at a glance and utility functionality when compared to Firefox add-ons.
Firefox Still Wins
While Chrome is super-fast and has a lot of great SEO extensions available, Firefox still wins according to a decent-sized data set (people I've asked around the office). Here's why:
Visualize Page Metrics
Right clicking a toolbar and choosing customize allows you to drag-and-drop visual aspects of add-ons next to the address Bar. You can even create new toolbars for specific tasks (like a Link Building Toolbar), then choose which one you want displayed by right clicking the toolbar and checking or unchecking the name.
Here you can see a combination of the SEOmoz Toolbar, with combines visual aspects of the SEOBook and SearchStatus add-ons inserted into the navigation bar.
Checking out the picture above, we can see from the amount of PageRank shown that this webpage is not only indexed, but authoritative, and the Moz metrics below back that up. Link indices of MajesticSEO and MOZscape support that the page itself has 8000 plus links, while the domain has somewhere between 384,000 to 560,000 (SEOBook add-on). Finally, the grayed out C to the right of the URL indicates that the page contains a meta link canonical pointing to itself (SearchStatus add-on).
While Chrome can accomplish similar visual effects, I was unable to find any extensions that allowed me to see Majestic SEO numbers on page load (possible with a single click in Chrome though).
Chrome does have a great extension called Meta SEO Inspector that surfaces meta data relevant to SEO such as noindex, follow and meta link canonical tags. This little pop-out stays in the bottom-right corner of the browser and is very useful when doing quick tag checks on multiple pages.
Robust Utility
Another reason Firefox wins the overall battle of usefulness is the overwhelming number of utility add-ons like:
- FoxyProxy – Visit websites while using a proxy IP (Chrome extension Proxy Switchy! looks promising).
- Live HTTP Headers – Check a URL for multiple redirects.
- Rank Checker – Check a domain's ranking for up to 100 keywords in Google (Chrome extension SEO SERP checks 1 keyword at a time).
- SERP Trends – Displays changes in position over time.
- Web Developer – A slew of useful tools (Chrome also).
These just haven't been replicated into Chrome extensions and if they have, not to the same extent it would seem.
Firefox is The Winner But it Can Be Slow
Firefox is the winner because of the metrics-at-a-glance and utility factors, but there is still one complaint…slow. It seems the more add-ons installed, the slower Firefox gets. To prevent this from happening be sure to go through the options or preferences for all the plugins and turn off unnecessary functionality. Many SEO plugins pull the same data and perform the same function so be sure that only one, for example, is highlighting nofollow links.
Personally, I use Chrome as my default browser and fire-up the Fox whenever things are getting a little dirty. Here's a list of currently active extensions to check out if you don't have them installed already.
- Firebug
- FoxyProxy
- Live HTTP Headers
- MeasureIt
- MozBar
- Multiple Tab Handler
- Page Speed
- SearchStatus
- SEO Toolbar (SEOBook)
- SEO Quake
- Web Developer
- YSlow
SEO browser extension set-ups are as unique as the personalities of the individuals who use them. Let me know anything we've missed or if you have an idea that is especially innovative!

Anyone else agree when I say that I really hope that they don't bring Candy back?Her whole in your face man hating lesbian, raging, horny She-Hulk schtick got old really fast. Plus I mean it's not like the Boys are gonna actually physically fight back against her.
Quote from: Raveen420 on Mar 30, 2016, 02:24 AMAnyone else agree when I say that I really hope that they don't bring Candy back?Her whole in your face man hating lesbian, raging, horny She-Hulk schtick got old really fast. Plus I mean it's not like the Boys are gonna actually physically fight back against her.Completely agree. She was so fucking annoying. I get they're trying to reinvigorate things with some new characters (and some of them have worked) but she was awful. I was just finally starting to warm up to Donna (who I hated at first) when they brought that bitch in.
Title: My Overview of Season 10 - It's time to wrap things up.I know that with this post I'll be labelled as a 'hater' but so be it. Season 10 for me was less than satisfying, to say the least. I love the Boys (specifically Season 1-7 directed by Mike Clattenburg) but this season has shown that they're at their limit (episodes were directed by different members of the cast but not Mike Clattenburg).Before getting to the whole Pros, Cons and Extras I'd like to focus on the Ending of Season 10. Julian by the end of this season decided to leave Sunnyvale and with that, Ricky and Bubbles, after leaving the park he seemed undecided whether to accept the hitch-hike ride or return to Sunny. But, realistically and ideally it's for the best he'd leave them behind Julian's a smart guy and the two were holding him back plus the whole getting the park -- losing the park and vice-versa has probably got on his nerves too.Whilst I didn't really enjoy episodes 1-7 I did have a great time watching episodes 8-10 as they were definitely directed and written a lot better than the early ones plus the jokes were actually funny albeit a bit crude. I'll say, if Season 10 had been directed by Mike Clattenburg it'd definitely had been an amazing run.Now to the Pros and etc:Pros:- Randy finally admitted what happened to the baby he had with Lucy (Lucy gave the baby up for adoption)- Sam tries to always be a good person now (he already was before but the boys kept ruining his life)- George Green's pun on Ricky's life ~ "Any vegetables around? *Then points to Ricky*"- Cory and Jacob pretending to play N64 was pretty interesting but with Jacob using a GameCube controller and from the TV it sounded like an Atari game so not too authentic (I know they weren't really playing obviously)- Randy inserted a big sausage in his mouth all at once.Cons:- First episodes of Season 10 last up to 30 mins, then the rest are 20mins, 23mins, 24mins and 27mins (no consistency here clearly)- The boys are yet again in danger of losing the park (I know it's how the show works but come on, it's been done to death)- Bubbles offensively insulting Randy, not so much the curse but its tone (as per Bubbles' words -- FÚCKING BITCH!)- Barb and her Goons- Candy is freaking annoying (yet the sweet Candy from Season 1 was never to be seen nor heard ever again)- Ricky-isms aren't funny as they used to be in the older seasons- J-Roc with the Mexican accent is barely understandable if not for the subs provided by Netflix- They brought "Your Mom" jokes as if they were comical (maybe for 12 year olds)- Episodes 1-7 hardly ever cracked something as small as a chuckle from me- Donna was kind of an interesting for Seasons 8 + 9 but now she's as mean spirited as Barb and CandyWasted Potential:- Last we've seen of Sam he was living in a cave of some sort and got caught so it would have been funny to see him in an asylum or something. Instead, he was running his own dentist clinc.- Treena never showed up again but it's probably for the best, her parents were a trainwreck.Here's something some might find 'interesting', Lucy banged not just a few but several dudes: George Green, Cyrus, Randy, Steinberg, Grover, Stewart, Tom, Dean, Ray, Phil Collins and Steve. She didn't bang Tom (Season 10) because he didn't want although he found her to be hot.
The thing I miss the most is the jokes within a joke that Mike Clattenburg would write into the show. You would say what did he say and rewind it and watch it again. Season 1-3 had a lot of them. I miss the cheap look of the handheld camera the under tones of poor people trying to get by but enjoying life. Now it is about how man fucks they can get into ever sentence. nothing close to being real life. I really don't like the way Robb plays Ricky anymore it comes off as staged. Nothing like Ray cutting the copper pipes out of his trailer to buy booze funny. I will never say I won't watch another season but I didn't like season 10 much.

California cotton acreage may have slipped to all-time lows in warp speed over the past few years, however, variety choices have never been better for surviving cotton growers.
In fact, growers can find themselves in a quandary there are so many choices.
"With all of these new varieties we have now, the past UCCE guidelines for managing them may be a moving target," says Bob Hutmacher, UC Davis state cotton specialist. "It makes everything more complicated when we're trying to evaluate these varieties, but the challenge of management and how it impacts our trials is important to consider."
While the UCCE and San Joaquin Valley Cotton Board (SJVCB) variety trials have long been a benchmark for growers to consider when choosing varieties, they shouldn't be gospel, according to Hutmacher and others at a recently sponsored Bayer CropScience cotton seminar.
Limited budgets, limited testing sites and limited resources can't cover every imaginable growing scenario from Bakersfield to Los Banos. However, the trials are still a benchmark and a good place to start. Seed breeders are continuing to raise the bar and the standards are often left in the dust.
Compared with Maxxa, the current standard for screening Acalas, almost every variety in the UCCE variety trials since 2002 exceeded yield standards across all testing locations.
"There have been a large stable of entries in the past few years that have proven to be good yield performers," Hutmacher says.
Four Acala varieties are currently under consideration for release by the board at its upcoming March meeting. Those include CPCSD's C-504 (Acala Revolution LL) and Daytona RF along with Phytogen's 715RF and Delta Pine's 03T590. Specific yield data is available on the UCCE Web site at www.cottoninfo.ucdavis.edu
Yield gains
Improvements in yield also have been documented in the SJVCB Pima trials. Hazera 195, in particular, has blown the competition away in terms of yield. However, the Pima hybrid has lagged in the quality department. Pima OA 357 is up for 2007 Board approval and has performed well in trials, neck and neck with the true Pimas in terms of yield and quality. CPCSD's Cobalt was the top-yielding Pima across locations in the 2005 UCCE Pima Trials.
CPCSD, which was recently acquired by Bayer CropScience, touted several of its other "top tier" varieties at the cotton seminar while encouraging diversity. "Smart cotton growers do not put all of their eggs in one basket," says John Palmer, Western Seed Manager for Bayer CropScience. "They plant some early season varieties, some medium maturity varieties, and some full season varieties."
Acala Daytona RF and Acala Revolution LL are two excellent candidates for roller ginning, added Palmer. "Revolution has a very impressive fiber length of 1.21," he says.
Acala Revolution LL marks the first Liberty Link cotton variety available for sale in California. Similar in concept to Roundup Ready varieties, Liberty Link varieties can tolerate over-the-top herbicide applications. In the case of Liberty Link, it is glufosinate (Ignite) which can be sprayed over-the-top. The option will give San Joaquin Valley growers a much needed alternative to the widely used Roundup Ready system which has produced concerns over the past few years about the onset of Roundup resistance in certain weeds.
Acala Revolution LL is available for sale this season, albeit in limited quantities. Marketing a variety before it is board approved has become a standard practice in the industry. "We have to launch these varieties commercially before they're approved because they're almost obsolete by the time we get board approval," Palmer says.
Quality as future
For California, quality spells the future of the industry, according to Brent Crossland, Bayer's new district manager. As former global marketing manager for FiberMax varieties, Crossland is well versed in the nuances of what mills are demanding.
"The first thing we need to do is focus on who's the customer," he says. "I think sometimes we tend to lose sight of that when we're out there in the field growing the crop and dealing with the day-to-day issues of managing pests and other problems and trying to get it to harvest. The world is demanding quality. Fortunately, California stacks up there with the best the U.S. has to offer."
Bayer's recent acquisition of CPCSD and the company's technological capabilities will no doubt portend change to the future of California cotton fiber even if the bar is already high. "From our BioScience division, we have things coming to the cotton market that you can hardly even envision," Crossland says. "There are engineered fibers in the works that will go above and beyond our traditional approach to the market. It's a very exciting time."

Wisconsin Troops Welcomed Home
Submitted: 01/18/2013
- About 130 members of the Wisconsin Army National Guard are coming home. They landed in the U.S. early last week, but they've been de-mobilizing at a camp in Mississippi. This afternoon they'll be welcomed back to Wisconsin at a celebration in Oshkosh. Most of the troops are part of the Oshkosh-based 157th Transportation Company. They spent almost 10 months in Afghanistan on convoy-escort missions. Gov. Scott Walker and senior Wisconsin Army National Guard leaders will be among the family welcoming the troops home. Community members are also invited to attend. That event will be at the Experimental Aircraft Association in Oshkosh.

Steve Spurrier joined former Florida coach Ray Graves as one of the few individuals in the history of the college football who played for and coached the same team in a major bowl game - while never losing an appearance. The 1966 Heisman Trophy winner, Spurrier led the Gators to triumph in the 1967 Orange Bowl with a 27-12 victory over Georgia Tech. Against the Yellow Jackets, Spurrier completed 14-of-30 passes for 160 yards and an interception as the Gators racked up 449 yards of total offense.
Thirty-two years later the Gators returned to the Orange Bowl, this time with Spurrier as the team's head coach. The Gators cruised to a 31-10 victory over Syracuse in the 1999 Orange Bowl as Florida offense outgained the Orange 308 to 192.
The 2002 Orange Bowl was Spurrier's last appearance in the Orange Bowl as he led the Gators to a record-setting performance. The Gators set Orange Bowl records for most passing yards (456), total offense (659), most first downs passing (23) and most points scored in the third quarter (21) en route to a 56-23 victory over Maryland.

Not an exact fit but if you are changing colors like I did if you paint around the edges in a similar color it looks great. So much better than the old cracking woos grain. Easy to install.

The Chicago Bulls went for shooting in the NBA Draft.
They took Tony Snell from New Mexico and Erik Murphy from Florida and both are good from long distance.
Murphy was a great pick in the second round. He's 6-foot-10 and will stretch the defense in a way no Chicago big man can possibly do.
Snell was a curious pick. There were substantially better shooters available when the Bulls plucked Snell at No. 20. Players like Allen Crabbe and Reggie Bullock might have made more sense.
But give the Bulls credit, they needed help shooting 3-pointers, and tried to address it. While they might not have taken the best possible personnel to improve quickly, they at least went after a need.
Jimmy Butler will be the starting two guard. He was a revelation at times during this season, but especially during the playoffs. He will be in his second year, so insurance policies are wise.

Cinnamon oil is a highly concentrated form of the popular spice. It was long used for healing and was thought to be useful to calm the stomach. Here, the Crosbys have made a cordial, which combines the spice with alcohol to make a liqueur. They recommend it to combat Cholera Morbus. Cholera Morbus was a particularly virulent form of Cholera (here spelled, in French or Spanish fashion, "Colera"). There were major epidemics of this water-borne illness in the United States in 1832, 1849, and 1866. But the word "cholera" often referred to virtually any disorder with similar symptoms, especially those with violent and prolonged vomiting. Cinnamon oil remains a commonly prescribed item in herbal medicine.

I've looked around online and haven't found a lot of good information on home heating with hydronic air handlers used in conjunction with tankless water heaters (TWH). I would be interested to hear from anyone who has experience with these "combined" or "integrated" space- and domestic water heating systems. I'd like to know a few things, especially as they compare to a condensing gas furnace:
- How efficient are these systems? I've read that they match the efficiency of the water heater, so if you have a 94% efficient condensing TWH, your home heating is then 94% efficient as well. Of course, this does not mean that they necessarily heat as effectively as a condensing gas furnace, since the heated air from these systems is not as warm as that from a gas furnace, correct?
- What are your thoughts on ease of installation and ongoing maintenance requirements? I have heard of issues with scaling, and a need for very frequent cleaning of the inlet strainer to the TWH.
- When the water from the air handler is returned to the TWH it is much warmer than typical incoming water to a TWH. It is my understanding that higher incoming water actually reduces the efficiency of a condensing TWH - is this still true with current condensing TWH models?
- Bottom line, would you put in one of these systems, or opt for a separate condensing gas furnace? Are there situations when you would choose one over the other?
I'm interested to know more about these systems in general, but also have a specific home in mind: a 2400 sf home in Portland, OR built in 1928 (currently with little insulation), that has a condensing TWH already installed.
Thanks for any insight you can offer!

I've done this with a conventional water heater. Works well except for design temp mornings where there wasn't quite enough hot water for space heating and a hot shower. EF on the WH goes up since there is more heat produced vs. standby losses.
What is the cost for air handler + water coil + recirculation pump vs. condensing furnace + AC evaporator? How long are the water lines between the water heater and air handler? Are local electric rates feasible for a dual fuel setup?
Thanks for the reply, Bob.
There will be no AC in the home, and the net cost for air handler and recirc pump is going to be very near the same cost (possibly slightly more) than the condensing furnace. (This is after Oregon tax credits.)
I guess the fundamental question I'm asking is: which setup is going to burn less gas: TWH w/ Hydronic air handler, or TWH and a separate condensing gas furnace?
For the same price I'd keep the appliances separate. Once you go to condensing units there is little difference in fuel consumption. Condensing HWT parts are special order items, condensing furnace parts are typically on the shelf at the local parts house. In OR you don't want to be without heat for very long !!
Sounds good - thanks again, Bob. I was leaning toward the furnace, mostly because it sounds like there would be a fair amount of additional maintenance with the hydronic setup.
See "Why Pay for Two Condensing Systems When One Will Do?" by Schoenbauer et al at:
Why not get 2 systems if it's the same price? Furnaces are mass produced keeping costs down, hydronic air handlers are still a "speciality item" in residential with low production numbers. You won't find a single hydronic air handler (or any parts) in stock at the local supply house. Keeping it conventional saves on future maintenance costs.
FWIW I feel the same way about high SEER/Zoned systems. Better to have 2 simple units than a fancy high SEER system with zone controls. Similar upfront and operation costs, lower maintenance costs.
Barbara, thanks for the info - this is some of the research I was interested in seeing.
That report shows that a combined system is more efficient than an 80 AFUE furnace and very inefficient water heater. It does not seem to indicate that a combined system would operate more efficiently than separate condensing TWH and furnace. It states that a combined system works AS efficiently (but doesn't show any comparison data):
"The combi systems installed performance was the same as separately installed high efficiency furnaces and high efficiency water heaters."
What are you hoping to save? Have you done any calculations? Is the house a POS, or has it been fixed? If fixed, fuel shifting is chasing pennies not dollars.
Just put in a high efficiency air source heat pump and eventually get rid of that cwh, put in an electric water heater and save yourself a meter charge.
The new ASHP's are amazing. Gas will not stay cheap, but electricity will. Don't make long term investments based upon short term price.
Rinnai has application note on how to use their tankless hot water heater with a Rinnai water to Air heat exchanger.
Build America - via Building Science Corp, published report in 2012,
Like all devices, a tankless hot water heater can fail. Waking up to a cold house, only gets worse when the shower is just as cold. I tend to over build and make sure I have redundant systems because I prefer at least a lukewarm shower in the morning. But that's my preference - and yes, I have also considered using water to air heat ex-changer, my Rinnai was sized so I could do so...
Not all TWH's can handle it - double check with the manufacturer. Also using a TWH for house heat will definitely shorten the life - and nearly all the TWH have microprocessors that monitor them. The manufacturer can tell the run hours and will know if the TWH has been used as a house heater. Rinnai allows (encouages) the use, but shortens the warranty.
Issues with the water - can often be traced to the source water.... hardness. In cities like Portland Oregon, the water generally comes from mountain lakes, the water hardness is low, and the crud in the water is marginal. The BSC study referenced above, experienced some plugging of the inlet filter, they solved some of that by adding a larger external filter.
Before you make any changes to the heating system - fix the insulation and the building envelope first!!! That will make a significant difference in comfort AND it makes a very large difference on how you size/design any heating system using the TWH. It would be a waste of money to switch to the TWH for heat first until you've fix the insulation / air tightness... a very big waste.
In fact if you were able to add sufficient insulation and tighten the envelope - your only cost effective choice for house heat might be either a mini-split or the TWH combo.
If the TWH is designed to work for house heating - and it is capable of modulating the gas and adjusting the consumption any inefficiencies you see should be minor. I think the Rinnai 9.8 units can drop down to about 11K or 15K BTU...smaller than most furnaces (thus the reason to consider it for very energy efficient house)... on the other end - if the house is lossy, it can crank up and run at about 180K BTU and your gas bill (used for house heat) will not be a pleasant sight.
It looks better on paper than in real life applications. Both Amana and Lennox came out with dual heat applicationa that would heat the home and hot water. Eff ratings on the heating side were about 92-97% and the water heaters were in the same range. Since the water heaters had no direct flame applied to them, they were very well insulated with little standby loss.
There are tank less water heaters that are specifically designed for heating the home as well, but the application is critical and they are very easily damaged if the next person working on them makes changes to water flow, air flow or fan speeds without knowing the specs and proper settings for return water temp.
I put in amana systems fro 15 years but almost all are now gone. Not because the equipment was faulty but because of other service techs ( or Homeowners) who did not know enough to service the equipment correctly.
Also, in a combined system if your main source heat goes down you lose both heat and hot water and most consumers will not put up with that after they experienced it while waiting for parts and repairs.
I find the tank less hot water lime up. I have a condensate pump that I pump white vinegar or such(delimeing) into the one quart heat exchange. its 1.5 hr once a yr just to keep the tankless from over heating. I do put a magnet on cold water side to help keep the heat exchanger clean- it helps keep the tankless from fill up with lime dust/slime. Most all the old tankless are taken out with lots of slime/ on that little copper/SS coil.
I have some 60+ tankless heat systems out there and can be cheaper to install. RUUD and Rheem state, ao smith, and others make them. Its the air handler that makes it and I have only found RUUD/RHEEM to make an air handler with coil and pump and controls all in one. If others are are there tell me. Most are hard to keep clean so filtering the air is key
Nice posts Steven and Eric.
Scale on my combi is a recurring problem. Attaching boilers to ahu's seems to excite tinkerers, but nobody seems able to make a case there is any extra juice from all the extra squeezing.
Heat pump on an AHU. Electric hw. All done. Wanna tinker? Put up solar panels with your saved time and trouble.

Updated: Ducati Wins At Pikes Peak, And Chip Yates Claims A World Record For Electric Bikes
Carlin Dunne sets course record for motorcycles and leads a Ducati class victory in the race to the clouds
Pikes Peak, CO Carlin Dunne won the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (Sunday) on the Ducati Multistrada 1200, setting an all time motorcycle record and giving the Italian brand its second consecutive victory in the historic race.
Dunne, owner of Ducati Santa Barbara in California, took the checkered flag on his store's showroom demo bike. After three weeks of frantic preparation, the team set out to Pikes Peak for Dunne's rookie effort. The 28 year old rider was fast from day one, qualifying on pole for the race and setting a confident pace throughout all three days of practice.
In the race Dunne got the holeshot at the start and never looked back. The time across the finish line was 11:11.32; a new course record for motorcycles.
We were definitely anxious to get out and race today; said Dunne about his race. When the flag dropped I got the holeshot and went for it. The whole week's worth of setup work with my technician Sam Swain came together and the Multistrada 1200 worked flawlessly to give us the win. With the help of Spider Grips, Dumontec, BrakeTech and Burley Motorsports we can go home with an all time record!
While Dunne topped the timesheets for Ducati, Pikes Peak regular Alexander Smith rode a spirited race and crossed the finish line with a time of 12:12.92; earning him a much celebrated third place in the 1205cc class. In what was a wild and treacherous race away from Dunne and Smith, the other two Ducati entries fell upon misfortunes. Six-time winner Greg Tracy had an unfortunate fall while charging to post a fast time, and is already looking forward to next year's race.
Second place qualifier Mark Cernicky also suffered from bad luck when his Multistrada's tire went flat several corners past the starting line. All four riders in the Ducati family enjoyed their Pikes Peak adventures despite mixed results, and were thrilled with the dominating performance of the Multistrada 1200.
The Multistrada 1200's race win comes on the eve of the Multistrada 1200 S Pikes Peak Special Edition in the US, a striking version of the Multistrada 1200 S painted and accessorized to match the Spider Grips team bikes competing in the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.
Ducati is quite proud of its rider's successes, and hopes to return to the mountain with the Multistrada 1200 for future title defense.

Chip Yates Rides Electric Superbike to 2nd in Class and a New World Record at the 89th Pikes Peak International Hill Climb
Colorado Springs – American superbike rider and electric vehicle pioneer Chip Yates has delivered another stunning race result with his homebuilt 240 horsepower electric superbike at the 89th Pikes Peak International Hill Climb on Sunday, June 26th. Overcoming high winds, red flags, oil on the track, and 2.6 miles of bumpy dirt, Chip achieved two new world records with his surprising run of 12:50.094 while finishing 2nd in the Exhibition Powersport class behind Grand National Champion Joe Kopp.
With 240 horsepower and 400 ft/lbs of torque on tap from the UQM Technologies PowerPhase electric motor, the SWIGZ.COM Pro Racing Electric Superbike has become the most powerful motorcycle of any kind to ever finish the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in its 89-year history.
More importantly, Chip and his team have claimed a new course world record for electric motorcycles at Pikes Peak, beating the previous time of 16:55.849 set by John Scollon in 2010 on an HM ElectroCat by a convincing 4:05.755 margin.
In addition to the impressive results shown by the team this year, the real story to come out of the weekend is the potential the electric superbike showed for a top finish next year when all 12.4 miles of the iconic 156-corner public highway will be paved. This year Chip had to contend with tip-toeing a nearly 600 pound roadracing superbike through 2.6 miles of bumpy dirt road, where he lost significant time (over 1 minute) to the race leaders, highlighted by the split times of the race.
In the first section of the course, which is paved asphalt, Chip's split time was an incredible 9th out of 112 motorcycles as he demonstrated knee-dragging superbike racing techniques to more than 5,000 fans that lined the lower section of the mountain road. However, in the dirt section, Chip predictably suffered badly, and was 97th out of the 112 racers. This huge time disparity hints at the potential for a great 2012 result once the course is completely paved.
These split times show that once again, we have put the gas-powered bikes on notice that we can be a serious threat to the results of a premier race event, said Yates. Next year with the pavement on my side, I'll be looking for a top 10 or better result in the overall standings.
In this first paved section of the hill climb, Chip's electric superbike was only beaten by eight top riders: Carlin Dunne (race winner), Greg Tracy, Gary Trachy, Mark Cernicky, Stuart Sinclair, Joe Kopp, Mike Ell, and Davey Durelle.
I want to thank our new sponsor Eidos LLC and my incredible team, and none more than my key Race Engineer Robert Ussery, who is responsible for a massive amount of work and personal sacrifice to prepare our electric superbike for this epic adventure, said Yates. We are a team of 3 volunteer engineers with support from our wonderful sponsors but with no outside funding and yet we are taking on the established motorcycle manufacturers by pure determination, ingenuity, and the ability to accept personal hardship and extremely long hours as part of our normal course of business.

Pretty much every storage vender supports the concept of snapshots. Often these storage snapshots are presented to companies by the vendor as a way to take SQL Server backups without having to worry about eating large amounts of space. Some companies will even use this instead of tape backups. Due to the way these snapshots work they do not make reliable backup.
Related: Should the disks that your are backing up be aligned?
Remember for a moment what the cause of the large majority of database corruption is … it is a problem with the storage, where the storage either incorrectly writes a block to the disk or a physical disk fails causing the data to be lost. When using snapshots, the snapshots use a technique called "copy on first write" where, as blocks are written to for the first time by the disk array, the original block is copied to another location to be stored as part of the snapshot. Because the snapshot isn't a full copy of the volume, and at first contains no blocks with just the new blocks being written, the snapshot isn't a full copy of the database. As the snapshot isn't a full copy of the disks the snapshot can't be trusted to be a valid backup. If the source disks were to fail and the data on the production disk (where the database is stored) was lost, the snapshots would be useless as the blocks which haven't been written to yet would have been lost.
The same would apply if a block which hasn't been written to before, and therefor does not exist in the snapshot was to become corrupt, either by a cluster on the disk going bad, or the array writing data incorrectly to the disks, etc. the block wouldn't be available for backups and the backup would not be valid.
This risk can be reduced but not eliminated by replicating the LUN which contains the storage we want to use snapshots for a backup as to another storage array, then taking the snapshots on that synchronously replicated array. This however may not completely protect you. If the production array (the one that the SQL Server is talking to directly) was to write a bad block to the array, that bad write could be replicated to the remote site.
The next problem with only using snapshots for backup is that you only have a finite amount of space which can be used for backups as SAN storage is very expensive. In the long run tape is much cheaper for long term storage as the tapes can be sent offsite and kept for effectively ever. Having the same data retention policy on active storage simply isn't a cost effect solution for most people as eventually your snapshots will end up being the same size as your source disk so for a 100 Gig database, and you have snapshots which are taken daily, and you keep one years' worth of snapshots you will end up having terabytes of space tied up in the snapshot backups, which could end up costing hundreds of thousands of dollars in disk space. With tapes on the other hand the tapes are very inexpensive and can hold hundreds of gigs per tape which can then be sent offsite to another location (usually via an offsite storage company) for long term safe keeping.

Successfully managing ADHD takes a great deal of time and effort on your part as well as your child's. If you, your partner, or any of your other children also have ADHD (not unlikely because the condition can run in families), the amount of time and effort spent is further compounded. Family members without ADHD may resent the time and attention that they feel are taken from them to meet the needs and address the issues of those who have it. It is no surprise, then, that the pressure to satisfy everyone's demands sometimes becomes overwhelming.
One way around this is to formally schedule regular personal time with each child and with your spouse as well. These periods do not have to be lengthy—half an hour at a time may do—but they should be frequent and as predictable (daily, for example) as possible, and you should make sure they actually happen. When you are spending time with one of your children or your spouse, make it a policy not to bring up divisive issues.
Try to keep your time positive and focused on the present relationship so that both of you will have more emotional energy for the rest of the family later on. If you are the parent taking most of the responsibility for dealing with issues related to ADHD, it is also a good idea to try to delegate other daily chores as much as possible. Allow your partner, older children, or other relatives to take over duties that free up your time and, when possible, take advantage of time-saving services such as online banking, drive through services, and so on. Every minute you save from these errands is a valuable minute you can give to your child with ADHD, other family members and, just as important, yourself.
Becoming your child's care manager means serving as the vital link connecting all aspects of his treatment plan at home, at school, and in the community. This requires a great deal of thought, organization, and support, and can make an enormous contribution to your child's progress and your family's welfare. Organization needs to extend beyond some of the aspects already discussed, such as calendars and time management.
For example, a child with ADHD accumulates a lot of records—from teachers, physicians, mental health professionals, medical insurance companies, and so on. Keep these papers neatly filed and available when you need them. By organizing reports and treatment decisions chronologically, you can create an excellent database for future discussions with treatment providers and school personnel about how your child is progressing. Always keep a pen and pad of paper or your handheld device available as well to record any information you feel might be useful at the next treatment review meeting with your child's pediatrician.
Because concrete, quantitative information is so valuable in evaluating his progress, you will want specific notes on your child's behavior rather than general, half-remembered impressions. Once you have instituted these organizing principles, you will likely find that you have more complete records than any of your child's physicians, psychologists, or teachers, and that you have indeed become the true care manager. Whenever possible, partner with the care manager in your medical home.
In caring for your child with ADHD, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends creating a "medical home." This term and concept is gaining increasing attention among pediatricians and parents. Despite the name, a medical home is not a building, nor is it a house. Instead, it is an approach to providing your child with high-quality, comprehensive care. It is an ongoing partnership between your family and your pediatrician and other members of your treatment team, and is based on the needs of the whole child and his family. It is defined as care that is coordinated, accessible, continuous, comprehensive, family-centered, compassionate, and culturally effective.
While you, your child with ADHD, and other adults involved in his care have probably focused a great deal of attention on learning about the nature of his condition, it is important to keep in mind that your other children and relatives are likely to understand much less. They will need your help in learning how to respond to your child's behavior and to support his efforts to function successfully. If family members seem to resent or blame your child for his actions, take the time to talk privately with them about the challenges he faces.
Discuss treatment decisions with everyone in your family, explaining the reasons for your choices. If you are implementing behavior therapy techniques in your home, other family caregivers will need to learn to implement them as well. (Fortunately, all the tools and techniques you will learn through parent training apply equally well to other children in the family and can be equally helpful.) Teach other family members to frame ADHD-related challenges positively and to work with your child to solve problems. You might ask them to write down any issues they have (such as, "Frances interrupts me all the time!") and then think about how to rephrase them in ways that will help solve the problem ("I need for Frances to wait until I'm finished talking before she talks."). Once this is done, family members can discuss possible solutions, try one out and evaluate it, and move on to another solution if that one does not work.
Sometimes family members refuse to cooperate, express chronic resentment, or seem unable to act in positive ways. These are common issues; you might consider locating an ADHD support group in your area and/or seeking family therapy to help everyone adjust. In the meantime, let your child communicate directly to his other family members whenever possible instead of always "defending him" yourself. Such conversations can be quite effective in smoothing relationships and helping your child become a respected part of the family.

AMERICUS - Johathan Brooks grabbed 11 second-half rebounds en route to his seventh double-double of the season and led the 18th-ranked Georgia Southwestern men's basketball team to a 80-68 win over UNC Pembroke on Friday evening in the Storm Dome.
GSW improved its record to 12-1 overall and 4-0 in the PBC. The Hurricanes are off to their best start in conference play in program history. UNC Pembroke dropped to 11-4 overall and 2-3 in PBC play.
The first half saw an 18-point swing. A Brooks layup with 10:05 left until the break put the Hurricanes up 27-17. A few minutes later a Redding jumper gave GSW its biggest lead of the opening stanza at 32-19. Momentum shifted to the visitors on the ensuing possession.
Jihad Wright hit a jumper for UNCP and, seconds after GSW turned the ball over by crossing the baseline on the inbounds throw, Brandon Winford was fouled while knocking down a jumper. Winford missed the free throw but gathered his own rebound and Quamain Rose drained a 3-pointer. In a matter of seconds a 13-point GSW lead was shaved to six.
UNCP rallied after that flurry, grabbed a five-point lead with a minute to go before the break and took a 40-37 lead into the locker room at half.
GSW did not trail for long. The Hurricanes opened the second half with a 15-1 run that saw a 3-pointer from Adrian Knight sandwiched between a pair of treys from Brooks.
The Braves would get no closer than seven points the rest of the way. A Jamon Hawkins layup with 5:18 to go gave GSW a 15-point lead, its largest lead of the night, at 68-53. The Hurricanes made 8 of 10 free throws in the closing minutes to seal the victory.
Southwestern shot 55 percent from the floor in the game while holding UNCP to 37 percent. The Braves took 26 more shots in the contest than GSW while the Hurricanes dished out five more assists (14-9) and held an advantage in points in the paint (26-20) and rebounds (42-38).
GSW had five players score in double figures. Redding led the Southwestern with 18 points. Hawkins added 16 while Alan Arnett hit 7 of 11 shots en route to his 15 points. Daryl Davis connected on 4 of 7 shot attempts and all four of his free throws to finish with 13 points. Brooks scored 11 and grabbed a game-high 14 rebounds.
UNCP matched GSW with five scorers in double figures. Winford led the Braves with 14. Rose and Keysheen Hinton added 12 points apiece while Ben Jacobs and Wright each chipped in 10. Jacobs pulled down a team-best nine boards.
Southwestern hosts Francis Marion on Sunday at 3:30 p.m.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, 1966
Sunday, 12 p.m.,TCM
A laugh-till-you-call-EMS-funny movie. Zero Mostel (far left) plays the laziest slave and biggest scammer in Rome. He's desperate to purchase his freedom and figures out a way to do just that. When he finds out that his young master is in love with a courtesan, he concocts a deal to purchase her for him. The all-star cast includes (clockwise from top, Phil Silvers, Jack Gilford and Buster Keaton).
The Black Stallion, 1979
Monday, 8 a.m., TCM
This perfect family film centers on a shy boy (Kelly Reno, right) and his family who are traveling on a ship where a wild stallion is stabled. When the ship tragically sinks, the boy and the stallion swim to a deserted island. Horse and boy bond, but when they are rescued, life changes. The boy refuses to give up on his friend and finds a trainer to make him the fastest horse in the world. With Mickey Rooney and Teri Garr.
Forrest Gump, 1994
Tuesday, 8 p.m., Lifetime
Six Oscars, including Best Picture, Actor and Director went to this charming film about a slow-witted man (Tom Hanks, left) who is of course wise in other ways. In fact his simplistic philosophy and kindness win over everyone he meets, and he does everything from create a hugely successful shrimp-boat fleet and invent things that change the world through four decades. With Sally Field and Gary Sinise.
Vicky Cristina Barcelona, 2008
Saturday, 5:30 p.m., Lifetime
Not Woody Allen's best film but one that won Penelope Cruz a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for yet another turn as a hot and fiery Latina. Rebecca Hall and Scarlett Johansson (below) are friends summering in Spain who fall for the same Spanish painter, (Javier Bardem). He's as hot and fiery as his ex-wife (Cruz), who is still in the er, picture. Passions of all sorts boil over into the streets.

Paronychia (Nail Infection) Due to EGFR Inhibitors
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My 52-year old husband has received two treatments of Panitumumab in his fight against metastatic colon cancer. Within the past two weeks, the skin on the sides of his fingernails have become infected and hurt like an ingrown fingernail. If you can just imagine 3-4 ingrown fingernails on each hand! He takes 100 mg Doxycycline twice a day and we have tried Cetaphil, Eucerin and Gold Bond lotion for his hands. Nothing has helped. Any suggestions?
Beth Eaby, MSN, CRNP, OCN, Bboard certified nurse practitioner and nationally certified oncology nurse, responds:
Paronychia (par'o·nych'i·al) is an infection of the soft tissue around a finger or toe nail. EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor)- inhibiting agents, such as panitumumab, are being increasingly used as anti-cancer therapy. However, these drugs can affect the epidermal receptors that are found in the skin and this leads to the unusual side effects seen with these agents. These side effects include rash, paronychia, dry skin, breaks in the tissue (fissures) on the fingertips, and trichomegaly of the eyelashes. Paronychia typically occurs 2 months after initiation of therapy with the EGFR inhibitor. The incidence is not clear, with studies reporting rates ranging from 6 to 50% of patients developing this side effect.
Some tips to help prevent paronychia include keeping nails trimmed, filed, and clean. Once paronychia develops, treatments include warm soaks, splinting to reduce discomfort, antibiotic (Neosporin, Bactroban) and anti fungal (Ketoconazole) creams. If these topical agents are not working, Keflex or doxycycline, oral antibiotics, can be used.
If these treatments do not resolve the paronychia, and it is painful and appears infected, a nail avulsion may be warranted. This involves removing the whole nail and would be performed by a podiatrist (for a toenail) or a dermatologist or hand surgeon (for a fingernail).

Advances in still and video technology, particularly 4K video, demand higher performance cards and storage, and this morning SanDisk announced two new CompactFlash cards and a speed increase across its Extreme Pro CF cards.
SanDisk's Extreme Pro CFast 2.0 card is the first to utilize the CFast 2.0 standard, which is designed to meet the intensive needs of high-end and next-generation motion and still photography cameras. Available in 60GB and 120GB capacities, the card's capabilities range from blazingly fast read speeds of up to 450MB/s (3000X) and write speeds of up to 350MB/s (2333X). The CFast 2.0 card was designed in collaboration with the CompactFlash Association, Canon and ARRI. Initially, the card–with a CODEX Capture Drive to CFast 2.0 adapter for ARRI cameras–will be sold directly to ARRI and will be available at ARRI specialty retailers and other photo specialty stores.
In the past, splits in card formats were generally relegated to consumer-level cameras (xD vs. SD, among others). Now, professionals may have to assess the specifications and availability of cards formats–CFast 2.0 vs. XQD–when selecting a camera. The XQD card, which was introduced along with the Nikon D4–to date, the only DSLR to use the XQD format. Sony was the first to produce XQD cards (the new Sony 4K Handycam, the FDR-AX1 is also XQD-compatible, for example) and Lexar started shipping its XQD cards earlier this year. So far, though, SanDisk's CFast 2.0 card's read and write speeds exceeds those of the XQD.
Also a world's first, SanDisk also introduced the massive, 256GB Extreme Pro CompactFlash card with the VPG-65 (Video Performance Guarantee) specification. The 256GB CF card offers transfers up to 160MB/s and write speeds of up to 140MB/s. At the same time, SanDisk has pumped up the speed across its Extreme Pro line, with CompactFlash receiving a boost by about 50 percent to read and write speeds of up to 160MB/s and 150MB/s, respectively. SD card users will be happy to hear that SanDisk's Extreme line of SD cards will also receive a speed increase of up to 80MB/s (read) and up to 60MB/s (write).
CFast 2.0: 60GB; 120GB: TBD
Extreme Pro CompactFlash cards:
16GB-256GB priced from $220-$1,810

The CCCC Studies in Writing & Rhetoric (SWR) series, established in 1984, aims to influence how writing gets taught at the college level. The methods of studies vary from the critical to historical to linguistic to ethnographic, and their authors draw on work in the many various fields that inform composition—including rhetoric, communication, education, discourse analysis, psychology, cultural studies, and literature. Their focuses are similarly diverse, ranging from studies of individual writers and teachers, to work on classrooms and communities and curricula, to analyses of the social, political, and material contexts of writing and its teaching.
Recent releases from the SWR series...
Agents of Integration: Understanding Transfer as a Rhetorical ActAuthor: Rebecca S. NowacekISBN: 978-0-8093-3048-5The question of how students transfer knowledge is an important one, as it addresses the larger issue of the educational experience. In Agents of Integration: Understanding Transfer as a Rhetorical Act, Rebecca S. Nowacek explores, through a series of case studies, the issue of transfer by asking what in an educational setting engages students to become "agents of integration"— individuals actively working to perceive, as well as to convey effectively to others, the connections they make.
