It was a perfect day for a car show and there was something for everyone to enjoy.
This truck has been a guest at the shop this past winter, and got tended to as my regular work schedule permitted.. It's a 1923 Model TT Ford closed cab truck. Passenger vehicles were designated as a T, but trucks were identified as the TT's. Powertrains were the same in all of them- L-head 4 cylinders that produced about 20 horsepower coupled to an innovative planetary 2 speed transmission. A heavy duty worm drive differential in the TT models along with heavy duty rear springs, axles, larger rear wheels and tires made it capable of heavy loads. I was told that it hadn't run in 40 years or so. The tires had dry rotted, and mice had been living in it. The good news was that it had been inside all of those years. Most of the fabric insulation on the wiring was gone due to mice and the ravages of time, so all of the wiring was replaced, and rebuilt ignition coils were installed. With a new battery and fresh gas in the tank, the old TT came to life. It even ran on the magneto after starting!
The earliest Model T's had no generator or electric starter. They used a "hotshot" battery that had to be recharged periodically, and cranked by hand. Later production added a generator to recharge the battery. Eventually an electric starter was optional and became standard equipment by the end of production. This truck has a generator, but no electric starter, so it has to be cranked by hand. The ignition switch is turned to the left, which allows the battery to energize the coils so it will start at the low rpm cranking speeds. After it starts the switch is turned to the right- past the off position- to connect the magneto (which is built into the flywheel) to power the coils. Spark advance and throttle are controlled by levers on the steering column, and fuel mixture is controlled by a turning a rod on the passenger side of the dash that's connected to the carburetor. Driving an old Ford required lots of driver input and active participation! Then there was the matter of getting it to move. A lever coming up through the floor between your left leg and the door was the parking brake/neutral/high gear control. Three foot pedals were L-R: low gear, reverse, and brake. It seems a little daunting at first, but with a little instruction and practice, it becomes second nature.
Other than vacuuming and cleaning the glass, I tried to leave as much "patina" on it as possible. (funny how we used to call it dirt not too long ago). The old truck wears it well, and with all of its' warts and battle scars, it looks just right with it.
It's been a busy late winter and spring here at the shop. During that time I've added a couple of vehicles to the ever-growing fleet. This one is a 1930 Ford Model A Deluxe Coupe. I'd been looking for a Model A for some time, and heard about this one through a friend of a friend. It had been restored sometime during the 1970s by the father of the seller. She inherited it, but was unable to drive it, so it sat in her garage for the last 10 years. After hauling it home I performed a complete service and tune on it. Nothing sounds as wonderful as an old 4 banger Ford idling. Thunka, Thunka, Thunka!
After the Model T's were discontinued in 1927, the American public anxiously awaited the unveiling of the "New Ford" during the period that the factories were tooling up for Model A production. Model A Fords were manufactured from 1928 through 1931. Although all Model A's were virtually identical mechanically, the styling was updated beginning with the 1930 model year. It differed from the 1928-29 cars with the most recognizable features being the radiator, which became more upright and rectangular and the wheel size being changed from 21″ to 19″. It was thought that the 1930-31 cars looked more modern.
I especially like this particular car because it has the stock trunk instead of a rumble seat. Hopefully this summer we'll manage to take a few weekend trips in this great old car!
Living in an area of the Great Plains that was part of the Dust Bowl, stories about that era have always fascinated me. Listening to my parents accounts of growing up on the farm/ranch during those times still amazes me how tough and determined people were to survive against all odds. I think that John Steinbeck portrayed their lives and desperation very accurately in his novel "The Grapes of Wrath". The Gilmore museum has been on my "must do" list, and now with this exhibit, a road trip there is even more of a priority.
Old Cars Weekly, December 17, 2012
HICKORY CORNERS, Mich. – The images from the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl of the 1930s are haunting – long lines at soup kitchens, farms buried by dirt and gaunt faces peering out from dilapidated autos piled high with their only possessions.
But that is only part of the story.
While desperate families were migrating west in hopes of finding work and leaving the Depression and Dust Bowl behind, automotive designers were still creating luxury cars for the ultra-wealthy.
The Gilmore Car Museum, near Kalamazoo, Mich., takes you beyond filmmaker Ken Burns' recent PBS documentary, The Dust Bowl, with a new and revealing exhibit of the autos from the era.
An extraordinary Duesenberg custom-built for Hollywood's elite is displayed right next to an ancient Ford Model T covered with a family's only belongings.
"Historically, it's important that we show these automobiles in a setting that reflects the social and economic context of the time period," says Michael Spezia, executive director of the museum.
"These cars are more than just a 'pretty face,'" he added. "Our new exhibit juxtaposed the cars of the Dust Bowl with some of America's most extraordinary automobiles built during the Depression."
The Duesenberg, one of 11 luxury cars in the exhibit, was introduced at the New York Auto Salon in 1929 and set a new standard for design and power. Its price tag of nearly $20,000 was the equivalent of two typical middle-class homes and two-dozen Model A Fords.
In stunning contrast, the nearby 1927 Model T Ford cost $485 new. As an example of what numerous Americans experienced, it is well-worn and covered with sand. Bedding and furniture as well as pots and pans are tied to the fenders and running boards – all that the family could carry on their westward migration. It is displayed with a backdrop of the enormous dust cloud, which locals called the "Black Blizzard," enveloping the entire community of Rollo, Kan., in November 1935.
Several over-sized, iconic images from the time period – many taken by the Farm Security Administration in an effort to draw attention to the devastation of America's farms and those who worked the land – are hung throughout the display.
One photo shows a father and son, barefoot and carrying a bedroll, walking past a billboard that exclaims, "Next time, try the train."
The decade's apparent contradiction is also found in another image which is of a dapper looking fellow, complete with pinstriped suit and spats, posing next to his very expensive 1930 front-wheel drive L-29 Cord.
When the luxury models in this exhibit – from Rolls-Royce, Packard, Auburn, Lincoln, Cord, Cadillac and, of course Duesenberg – were introduced, unemployment was only at 3%. These cars, however, were still being built when unemployment reached a peak of over 25%.
The decade of the 1930s is remembered for the poverty of the Great Depression, the Dust storms that decimated the farms of the Midwest and the greatest American migration of the 20th Century that resulted.
Ironically, it was during this time that the auto industry built some of the most magnificent, sophisticated and expensive cars in history.
Much of the migration west was made possible by the automobiles of the 1920s and earlier, particularly the ubiquitous Model T Ford, which was rugged and reliable though inexpensive. These were the vehicles of choice for many "drought refugees" and became not only their means of travel but often their only place of shelter.
The hardships felt during this time didn't discriminate. Many of the automakers, including Auburn, Cord and Duesenberg, were unable to weather the decade-long Depression. Some of the once affluent sold their luxury cars for pennies on the dollar. Many hard working families lost everything and searched for work wherever they could find it. Throughout it all, the human spirit survived and the nation would go on to prosper in the decades to follow.
The Gilmore Car Museum is now open year-round and features many all-new exhibits including the 1953 General Motors Futurliner, American Muscle Cars and the return of the fabulous Hostetler Hudson Collection.

Statement by Erik Ortega, President, Imperial Irrigation District Board of Directors, on passage of DCP legislation
"Whether the passage of this Drought Contingency Plan will improve the sustainability of the Colorado River is an open question. What we know for sure is that it is a dramatic setback for the sustainability of the Salton Sea, which makes it, in my view, the first casualty of this DCP.
"After years of complex negotiations in which IID was always clear that its participation would depend on a 10-year roadmap for the sea, and a plan to fully fund it, the district was ultimately forced to choose between the river, its sole source of water, and the Salton Sea.
"When IID tried to choose both, the Colorado River moved on without it.
"As a result, this DCP is missing 21 percent of the Colorado River's delivered water and instead of squarely addressing the greatest environmental challenge facing the entire river system – by name – tries to pretend that the Salton Sea doesn't exist.
"Fortunately, Congress was unwilling to eliminate federal environmental protections for the Salton Sea based on pat predictions or more empty promises.
"For the record, what IID wanted from the DCP was a partnership that respected and helped advance the goal of a smaller but sustainable Salton Sea. But it turned out that our partners at the Bureau of Reclamation and in the seven basin states were only for the smaller part."

2014 Toyota Avalon ReviewCarGurus https://www.cargurus.com
Certainly more sportier lookin than previous body model. Lesser gas milage than previous body style(Even with ECO mode on). New look and better stone grey color with blue leather accents. Sound system sounds great, but window buttons rattle at nominal listening levels. Lots of fake chrome accents peeling off. Seats are comfy front and back and nice touch with heated seats all the way around. Hate the climate control up/down buttons as they take forever to adjust and hate all the dash buttons in general as they are touch sensitve buttons where you have to take your eyes off the road to make sure you are actually pressing a button. Also, trunk would be more useful with a bigger opening. Its always a tight fit to pack anything that is medium sized like camping gear because the opening is much smaller than before. Also, lots of door scuff marks on lower plastic door panels. It seems Toyota tried to make the car more sporty with slow paddle shifting and shrunk it from its giant predecessor. Save your money and buy a Camry!! Its bigger all the way around. Also, Toyota PCS has a recall, so they disabled it because it triggers with expansion joints on the highway. So its a useless feature if you want autonomous stopping. I should have considered a Subaru for that safety feature, I like the visual appearance of the car, but seriously let down with annoyances for a $42,000+ vehicle. Toyota is simply overated now.

2014 Toyota Avalon XLEReview
Toyota Avalon 2014 Review — I moved from a '08 ES 350 to the Avalon recently after deciding against the '14 ES350. In my eyes, the Avalon looks better from every angle and test driving it sold me. The car's comfortable, quiet, and has all the performance I'll ever need. I have Michelin tires, and while the ride is just a bit firmer than my old ES, I've found it to be comfortable over a variety of different pavements. The secureresponsive handling of this car more than offsets whatever small compromise in ride comfort was made. Again, early impressions, but I think it's a winner. One thing: I was surprised at how much darker the window tint on all but the windshield is. Compromises visibility, but I do have The BSM
Primary Use: Family transportation
Pros: Quiet and upscale interior with roomy seating front and rear; large trunk; above-average fuel eco
Cons: Ride quality might be too firm for traditional Avalon buyers; cumbersome setup process for Entune.

Nightlands Forget the Mantra(Secretly Canadian) Buy it from Insound
Considering the vast amount of talent behind alt-country mavericks The War on Drugs, it shouldn't come as a surprise that each of the members have gradually taken turns at manning the wheelhouse. With his new side project titled Nightlands, Dave Hartley has temporarily stepped away from his other day job by composing a delectable swoop of sounds that further extend his electronic contributions. Both projects are simple to differentiate, as Hartley is intent on working from his inward consciousness instead of searching for any resonance in the outside world. First impressions will picture Nightlands as just another name in an overpopulated mound of bedroom pop projects.
As a result, Forget the Mantra is mostly the work of a multi-instrumentalist finding his voice along with an exorbitant amount of ammunition on board. Hartley begins by playing opposites - the title track flows like a divine intervention, chanting the words forget the mantra repeatedly over a swiveling organ drone and electronic horns. It ends with the words "slowly open your eyes", a preemptive warning for the aural journey that is yet to come. As that album cover aptly suggests, Hartley progressively fills the blanks as he recollects his subconscious thoughts. We're along for the ride, listening to all his ideas as we travel in a refreshingly pristine ambiance.
Hartley has ideas – big, big ideas. So much so that he travels across continents to seek for the perfect place he so desires. He holds a special love for African rhythms, since he serves up a thumping, anthemic response (300 Clouds), but also loosens up with jaunty harmonies and reverberating strings (Suzerin). There are also eerie black spots in Hartley's neurological sensors. Vacant California waves surge heavily when the Beach Boys' Till I Die rounds the first half, an incredibly direful tune that always dug deep into Brian Wilson's deep depression. Hartley maintains the originals' mournful ballad, whose "cork on the ocean" belief blends well with the fleeting idealism inherent in each and every one of us.
Until then, Forget the Mantra's experimental touches never stray from delivering a handful of enchanting pop tunes. The introduction to God What Have I recalls Nick Drake's lingering acoustic touches, later breaking into some tremulous psychedelic folk that never quite freaks. Most of the second half follows a more calming approach, incorporating more traditional forms of instrumentation with fragmented arrangements scattered throughout. Hartley's conversation with "Mr. Kim" is especially dreamlike; the tape hissed trilogy is set up as an exchange between two souls, composed of vocal samples that begin in Cheong, 1969 until reaching homebound in 2010. This trilogy moves seamlessly from pastoral folk melodies to acoustic guitar-driven progressions and towering choruses. Beneath all the sonic and tangible elements such as radio transmitters, slashing synth spurts and grimy drum hits, the folk backbone does remain. You can't quite understand what Hartley means by this experiment (it is supposed to be his own), but at least it's haunting sense of mystery will get you to ponder about your own abstract thoughts.
Forget the Mantra is an admirable insight into the thought process of merging dreams with reality. Hartley did draw on many reliable sources to pen this material. The Books is the most fitting example, since Hartley likes to make sense out of manipulated sound elements and enlightening phrases to achieve existential clarity. Also, it is a bit disappointing that Hartley's trance is very similar to that of Avey Tare, Noah Lennox, or Chris Taylor. I mean, is every psychedelic experience the same wobbly myriad of textures and sporadic colors? Your appreciation for Forget the Mantra will depend on whether you can stomach another neo-psychedelic lab work. The timing may not be right, but this is certainly cream of the crop material.15 November, 2010 - 22:14 — Juan Edgardo Rodriguez

Well two things really.
I don't know the first thing about them, and I've always thought it was a cool idea. My first time ever seeing one used, live, was Uberzone. And it blew my mind away.
I'd love to hear if anyone here actually uses one. And to what degree they bring it into their performances? Or if you just use one in the production aspect of setting up your drum loops?
To me, production wise, I've always been someone who preferred banging on things rather than clicking dots. So, it makes sense to me. Wondering if anyone else has gone this route though.
I'm thinking about picking up an inexpensive one for my nephew, as a combined birthday/Christmas present (He's going to be turning 6). I know his parent's won't get him anything of the sort, and I really believe music is important. So, this is my way of getting an active kid to sit down and smash on things, and make good use out of his time. And I've been told I'm not allowed to get him anything "loud" (yes, I was specifically told that) so I figure an electronic drum kit is the way to go, since he could use it with headphones or whatever.
Anyone have any suggestions? Or am I best off just looking around online?
I mean, I kind of want to stay on the sub-300 range. But, I don't want it to be unusable.
Right now I'm looking at:
Anyone have experience with these things? Any thoughts or pointers?

A man who graduated from Bowdoin College in Maine was among the four Americans killed in a suicide bombing in Syria.
Jonathan R. Farmer, 37, was identified as one of the victims in the Wednesday attack. Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-Maine) said he had graduated from Bowdoin. ISIS has claimed responsibility for the bombing, but did not immediately provide evidence to support its claim.
"Saddened to hear that Bowdoin College graduate and Army Chief Warrant Officer Jonathan Farmer was one of four Americans killed during an ISIS attack in Syria this week," Pingree wrote in a Facebook post. "Thinking of his family, friends & entire Bowdoin community today, and indebted to his service to our country."
U.S. & World
The attack happened just a month after President Donald Trump claimed that ISIS had been defeated and announced he was pulling out U.S. forces.
Officials also identified Navy Chief Cryptologic Technician Shannon M. Kent, 35, and Department of Defense operations support specialist Scott A. Wirtz as victims from the U.S. The Department of Defense said the still-unidentified fourth person was a contractor.
In total, at least 19 people were killed in the attack in the strategic northeastern town of Manbij, which highlighted the threat posed by ISIS despite Trump's claims. It could also complicate what had already become a messy withdrawal plan, with the president's senior advisers disagreeing with the decision and then offering an evolving timetable for the removal of the approximately 2,000 U.S. troops.
The attack, which also wounded three U.S. troops, was the deadliest assault on U.S. troops in Syria since American forces went into the country in 2015. It has prompted new complaints about the withdrawal and underscored Pentagon assertions that ISIS is still a threat and capable of deadly attacks.
The dead included a number of fighters with the Syrian Democratic Forces, who have fought alongside the Americans against ISIS, according to officials and the U.K.-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
In a Dec. 19 tweet announcing the withdrawal, Trump said, "We have defeated ISIS in Syria, my only reason for being there during the Trump Presidency." He said the troops would begin coming home "now." That plan triggered immediate pushback from military leaders, including the resignation of the defense secretary.
Over the past month, however, Trump and others have appeared to adjust the timeline, and U.S. officials have suggested it will likely take several months to safely withdraw American forces from Syria.
Not long after the attack Wednesday, Vice President Mike Pence repeated claims of ISIS's defeat. Speaking at the State Department, Pence said the "caliphate has crumbled" and the militant network "has been defeated." Later in the day he released a statement condemning the attack but affirming the withdrawal plan.
"As we begin to bring our troops home, the American people can be assured, for the sake of our soldiers, their families, and our nation, we will never allow the remnants of ISIS to re-establish their evil and murderous caliphate - not now, not ever," he said.

"Nationalize Oil," Democrats.
Ironic; A couple of posts ago I was able to point to the free market moves of Gadhafi which included the privatization of the oil industry to bring the Libyan economy kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
Then today I visit Libertarian Republican and find this: -
Yes, that's right, the Democrats have a plan to confiscate, (or socialize as the speaker puts it) the American oil industry.
Perhaps the Democrats would be better to make Gadhafi their nominee, he makes better economic sense for a start, and he doesn't seem to have all those embarrassing hangers on.
No communist dictators like Chavez support him, nor does he seem to have the backing of terrorist organizations like Hamas, extremists like Farrakhan, urban terrorists like Bill Ayers, or racist lunatics like Wright and Sharpton, all of whom seem to be supporting their current likely nominee.
Gadhafi on the face of it would probably be far more acceptable to the more moderate patriotic Democrats.

For the past few years, my husband and I lived in a rented house located in his hometown. The location was great and the rent was beyond cheap, but it would be kind to call the house a fixer-upper. The roof leaked, the ceiling in the master bedroom was so low that my husband once put his head through it while putting on a pair of pants, we used one of the bathrooms as a closet because the plumbing was not functional, and so many critters found their way in that we could have started a wildlife sanctuary. In short, the house was a dump.
In the beginning, the landlord promised improvements. After a couple of years of "I'll fix it next month," with no results, we began to doubt his intent to improve or even maintain the property. At first, I tried to make the best of it. I placed potted flowers on the sagging porch and hung pictures over the holes in the walls, but after a while I realized that you can't polish a…well, you know.
From the start, there was a running joke among our friends that the house was constantly on the verge of being condemned. In recent months, it started to seem like that was a distinct possibility. While I kept the house clean, we gave up on all but the absolutely necessary activities to keep the building habitable.
When the landlord expressed an interest in selling our rented house, we took it as a sign that renting was no longer for us. We needed to buy a house of our own. I quickly found a local realtor and got our financial ducks in a row. Within 6 weeks, we had closed on a small lakeside cottage.
Throughout those 6 weeks, I dreamed of all the improvements we would make. I envisioned extending the deck to capture more of the lovely views of the water and fantasized about the elaborate meals I would prepare in our cute little kitchen. Only when we moved in did it dawn on me, I really have no idea how to keep house. The house should keep you, not the opposite, right? Wrong.
Sure, I can cook and clean, but I am no Martha Stewart or Bob Villa. Somehow, I managed to obtain a Master's degree, but never learned the proper way to hang a picture when thumb tacks won't cut it. When my husband remarked that the toilet wouldn't stop running, I replied, "Well, go catch it!" Even with the dads in our lives helping to make us handy-people, the learning process is slower than I would have liked.
To hasten things along, I found a few helpful books. While the Martha Stewart and Good Housekeeping titles are the standard, there are some less well known books that tackle the subject of cleaning, maintenance, and design in more manageable (i.e. less anxiety inducing) packages.
"House of Havoc" by Marni Jameson is quickly becoming my housekeeping go-to. This book is full of well-organized tips that are firmly rooted in the real world. While I would love to have fresh flowers on the kitchen table every day, this books acknowledges that a less perishable centerpiece looks better than a wilted vase of forgotten flowers.
As soon as I read the chapter on learning to master the virtue of restraint in design, I knew that Marni Jameson would be my savior. With the help of this book, I am learning that I don't have to incorporate all of the 87 mason jars left over from my wedding into my kitchen design just because I have them. "Accessorize, don't EXcessorize" is my new mantra.
While I haven't decided if this is an unfortunate thing or not, the fact is that our new house is smaller than our old rented house. With that in mind, I picked up a couple of books on downsizing. The best one was "Downsizing Your Home with Style," by Lauri Ward. This book shows the reader how to evaluate, arrange, decorate, and live in smaller spaces. Her "never keep" list gave me a good starting point for what to toss or donate, but I think I will ignore that tip about recycling "unread books you never seem to get around to reading."
The most helpful of the books I picked up contained virtually no instructions or advice, but it reminded me that the most important thing about housekeeping is the house keeper. "Dirt," edited by Mindy Lewis is a collection of stories about the quirks of housekeeping, but also about the people that perform (or in some cases, don't perform) the tasks that keep a house tidy. This book helped me to remember that there is real personal meaning behind menial household tasks.
It will probably take more than a few good books to become a real domestic diva and we will likely make many mistakes while turning our new house into a home. Nevertheless, we are thrilled to have a place to call our own- a place with ceilings high enough for a grown man to be able to get dressed without the threat of a concussion.

CES 2013 was undoubtedly about big screens. 110-inch, 4K, OLED, 3D, lenticular, smart, self-aware: we saw it all. Each manufacturer showed off its CES 2013 wares in a booth on the show floor. LG's booth had what I'm calling the best gimmick of CES 2013: an installation of 122 Cinema 3D screens pumping out the best sights and sounds you've ever seen.
LG pushed out the images in 3D, so you don't get the full experience watching our video, but hopefully it goes some way to showing you just how incredible it was.
122-screens were multiplexed together and curved around a one giant wall of LG's CES booth and scenes from the cosmos right through to a library and a street scene were looped using Cinema Smart technology.
I want a room full of these TVs so I can create my own holodeck. That would be amazing.

There are a number of existing treatment chemicals and
systems used world wide in the disinfection of water and surfaces. These
Chlorine Systems
based sanitation systems are by far the most commonly used. Chlorine products
are available in the form of gas, or as the hypochlorite of sodium or
Chlorine is a powerful oxidizing compound capable of reacting with both organic
and inorganic matter in water. The chemical's strong oxidizing properties
reduces the level of biocide remaining to be available to inactivate micro-organisms
(the goal of any biocide). As a result, systems using chlorine must be continuously
monitored in any direct process flume wash operation where fresh fruit and
vegetables are washed prior to further processing.
The disadvantages of chlorine systems surround maintenance of effective dosage
levels, monitoring, safety and corrosivity issues. Chlorine is only effective
in a very narrow pH range of 6.5 to 7.5. Chlorine solutions will not naturally
remain in this range requiring constant monitoring and adjustment by addition
of acid or alkaline solutions. It is difficult to accurately measure free
available chlorine in the form of hypochlorous acid (the only biocidal active
specie) in line automatically above 8ppm chlorine. Other manual systems of
measurement are often inaccurate and time consuming.
Chlorine sanitiser compounds have the potential to form deadly chlorine gas
if the pH of the water decreases below 4.0 or if the temperature rises
significantly. Chlorine is corrosive to numerous metals, increasing plant maintenance
Additionally, chlorine can be irritating to the skin and mucous membranes.
Chlorine produces carcinogenic trihalomethane (THM) by-products which have
been the subject of governmental maximum limits in the USA and EU. These
limits have recently been reduced due to increased concerns.
The US FDA is currently reviewing the health and environmental impacts
of the ability of chlorine sanitisers to form toxic organic chlorine
by-products, such as the suspected THM compounds. These issues have created
a significant
opportunity for Ioteq's much environmentally and labour safe Isan System
to be introduced into the market.
Ammonium Compound Systems
Systems using
quarternary ammonium compounds (Quats) benefit from their ability
to leave a residual anti-microbial film on the food surface. These
systems are not designed for flume wash water treatments unlike
the Isan System. However they are used predominately for sanitising
process equipment and conveyers as well as food surfaces Which
presents limitations.
The disadvantages of Quat systems is that they are unsuitable
for food processes using starter cultures, such as yoghurt, cheese,
beer or wine operations. They also have a low tolerance to hard
water, and are incompatible with most cleaners and detergents.
Additionally, Quat systems cannot be used within the organic
industry due to the formation of a residual film.
Chlorine Dioxide Systems
Chlorine dioxide is a gas that is soluble in water and
these systems are often used for drinking water disinfection.
The major disadvantages of chlorine dioxide systems are the high
initial capital cost to install an on-site generator, electrical
energy costs and worker safety. Chlorine dioxide gas is ten times
more toxic than chlorine gas and is sensitive to light at temperatures
greater than 30 degrees celsius (or 86 degrees fahrenheit). Chlorine
dioxide systems are not ideal for sanitising in the fruit and vegetable
market as most systems are required outdoors or in regions where
temperatures exceed 30 degrees celsius. Additionally, chlorine dioxide
is highly explosive when in contact with ammonia compounds.
Peroxyacetic Acid Systems
Peroxyacetic acid is a fast acting sanitiser that
works on the same basis as chlorine based sanitisers.
The major disadvantage of peroxyacetic acid is its sensitivity
to metal ions. Peroxyacetic acid is corrosive to soft metals such
as brass, copper and galvanized steel, with the corrosive properties
accelerated at higher temperatures. Additionally, peroxyacetic
acid is known to have a bleaching effect on certain fruit and vegetables
if the dosage range deviates outside of a narrow range.
Calcium Hypochlorite Systems
Calcium hypochlorite sanitation systems predominately use
tablets which disolve in water and deliver chlorine solution
into the water stream. Whilst these systems are comparatively
easy to install, it is difficult to regulate the chlorine release
rate, due to issues such as pressure and flow rates.
Ozone Systems
Ozone is a powerful oxidising agent that is naturally unstable.
Because of ozone's inherent instability, it cannot be stored
and must be produced on site at the location where the sanitation
is required. Whilst ozone systems have been shown to be more
effective at killing bacteria and viruses than chlorine systems,
they are more expensive than most other systems.
There are also
significant worker safety issues with ozone since the gas is
a powerful respiratory irritant. As a result, ozone
systems have not been widely employed in the food industry
and results to date have been mixed.
Ultra Violet Light (UV) Systems
In summary, UV disinfection works only when Total Suspended
Solids are low and the water is clear. UV disinfection systems
also require a "line of sight", meaning it cannot
penetrate cracks and solid objects. Additionally, running and
capital costs can be high.
Summary of Competitors
Chlorine systems currently dominate the market. However, the market is also
in urgent need for a more effective, automated system that can provide a guaranteed
accountability to owners, auditors and customers in an environmentally clean
process. Ioteq's Isan System is the only system on the market that can
deliver all of these solutions.

Tuna tartare is one of my favorite appetizers. Since I had extra salmon and avocado from a sushi class, I decided to make salmon tartare instead. I also served these in individual wonton wrappers so it will be easier for guests to eat.
When purchasing fish, the best choice is sushi/sashimi grade which is specifically meant to be eaten raw. It's usually packaged in a rectangle shape ready to be eaten and may not be in the same area as the fish intended to be cooked. Asian markets are your best source for sushi grade fish but if you don't have Asian markets in your area, ask someone in your grocery store if you're unsure or make sure all bones are removed in the salmon you purchase.
Serves 8
- 8 oz salmon fillet, skin and any bones removed, (can use tuna)
- Wonton wrappers
- Cooking spray
- 1 mango, diced into cubes
- 1 avocado, diced into cubes
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- Juice and zest of 1 lime
- 2 teaspoons cilantro, minced
- 2 teaspoons chives or green onions, minced
- 1 small jalapeno, minced (optional)
- 2 teaspoons shallot, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Salmon roe for garnish ( optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Freeze salmon for about 20-30 minutes to make it easier to dice.
Meanwhile, spray both sides of wonton wrappers with cooking spray and place in muffin cups to shape into cups. Bake for about 15 minutes or until they are golden brown. When done, transfer to a rack or plate to cool. I usually make more wrappers than needed in case some breaks or the shape doesn't form correctly. ( I end up snacking on those!)
Cut salmon into small cubes and place in a large bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and toss to combine. Transfer tartare to individual wonton wrappers. I topped mine with salmon roe for color but that's optional. You can top with cilantro or chives.
If you don't want to serve these in wonton wrappers, the other option is to serve in lettuce, cabbage or endive leaves.

Waxing By Alisha, The Happy Waxer
Customer Testimonials
Customer Testimonials
refer to yelp or google please
Please leave your comments so I can use this page!
Alisha is awesome! I've been to 5 different Estheticians in the last 4-5 years. All for Brazilian wax and she was by far of the best. I've had good and I've had bad Brazilians so I know the difference very well. Alisha is quick, funny, she knows what she's doing, her prices are just right and affordable enough to actually keep up on the maintenance. If I had to pick one thing she did very well I would say it was how quickly she got the job done. Quick and WELL DONE I should say. Do not try out the competition a few streets away. I'll recommend Alisha to my friends as well as be going back.

Keep Calm and Bird On! | Kelly Kimple
Birds are everywhere and their immense diversity and migratory nature offers us a wonderful opportunity to connect to the present moment. In this workshop, we'll learn basic bird identification skills while practicing mindful birdwatching - taking the time to simply look, listen, and be curious about birds, while being aware of ourselves and our place in nature. As we hike through the various habitats, we will not only develop a bird list but also explore the idea of how birds connect us to place, seasons, and emotions. The hope is that at the end of this mountain birding meditation, you'll be inspired by the unpredictability of birdwatching and the unexpected beauty and renewal we can find in our moments watching birds.
The New World We Want | Sarah Murray
What is the future we envision for girls, women, and gender equity in society and how is the outdoors integral to that vision? We are all stakeholders in answering this question. We each have unique human experience which yields diverse and valuable perspectives to framing our vision for social impact.

The interactive session will be dynamic and divergent, full of energy, insight, and challenge: a freestyle opportunity for you to influence the ultimate orientation of the work we do at Women's Wilderness.
Sense Your Authentic Power Through Movement | Natalie Gentry
In order to sense the truth of who we are we MUST connect more fully with the messages and sensations of our bodies. And why not make it fun in the process? Join in Conscious Dance, a movement form that invites participants to dance to the beat of their own drummer. You don't have dance experience? Not true! You were dancing your truth when you were 5 years old…you just began to judge your movement and relied on someone else to tell you what to do. Let's start peeling all of those old beliefs back and discover new ways of moving that you can take into your every-day life!
Electrify Your Life | Pam Loebig
Learn how to boost your energy, and keep it that way, so you have the engine to put behind your ideas, dreams, and unique purpose in life. We'll do a series of interactive (and energizing!) activities to explore various sources of energy, map our current state, and create a plan to electrify our lives.
Pilates Fusion | Alissa Hill
Combining movements that inspire the smaller intrinsic muscles, dynamic stretching, cardio, and mindfulness moments, and some education about our human design. This class is helpful to bring more balance to all that you do. We will be incorporating Pilates, Yoga, Dance, Somatics and Franklin Method.
Connection and Understanding Through Journaling | Krista Shultz & Andrea Sweet
Journaling with the intention of reflecting allows for true understanding and the ability to see the connections between theory and experiences. This workshop will shed light on journaling and listening to your inner voice. It will also explore several different ways to journal allowing you to choose the best method for you and your lifestyle.
CLOSING CEREMONY: Yasmin Suarez Shaddox

In the fitness word, some brands are super-human in their ability to practice higher standards and deliver premium quality supplements.
Why are they so far ahead?
Most likely because they are led by Mike Mathews, fitness expert and author who has helped tens of thousands of people improve their fitness with and without supplements.
Basically, he is an honest fitness advocate who has ridiculously sick work ethic… And that work ethic is directed towards helping people, not scamming them.
It's this extra effort on his part that is exactly why Legion supplements are getting better reviews and out-performing mainstream giants… Not just by an inch, but a mile.
Full Pulse Pre Workout Review
Energy Effects 8.5/10
Energy wise, Pulse pre workout is clean and to the point. Pulse contains a mixture of caffeine anhydrous (350 mg) as well as L-theanine (350 mg). This is a huge caffeine dosage, however the corresponding l-theanine curbs the bluntness of it, making it a more functional experience. Overall, this is a great dosage for stimulating the central nervous system to send stronger impulses.
Strength Effects 9/10
Legion Pulse doesn't contain creatine, or other direct strength enhancers. However, the caffeine dosage is strong enough to make your nerve impulses deliver stronger reactions.
Endurance Effects 8.5/10
Pulse doesn't just contain l-citrulline… It contains l-citrulline malate. That malate component is basically pure energy for your muscle cells. Pair this with the beta-alanine and caffeine in Pulse and your endurance will notably improve. Just make sure to stay hydrated and not rev up your heart-rate too crazy since the caffeine is high.
Crash/Aftermath 8/10
Since Pulse doesn't include any grey-area stimulants, the come-down is relatively clean and easy. The l-theanine greatly helps as well, but a 300+ caffeine dosage is never going to be totally graceful. With this in mind, for days that you don't feel the utmost need to take Pulse, let it slide or only take half a serving.
Taste 7.5/10
One thing that separates Pulse pre workout from the pack besides including hugely dosed ingredients, is their dedication to clean flavoring and sweetening. With that, understand that Pulse isn't going to taste like candy. However, thanks to the 4 grams of carbs in there- the flavor is definitely doable on a daily basis and not at all a reason to deter from this product.
Price/Value 8.5/10
Legion Pulse is value packed compared to other pre workouts, however it does only contain 21 servings per container. If you only want a kick of energy, then with Pulse you are getting more than you are asking for. However, if you really want a fully-dosed all-in-one pre workout, then you should be happy to pay the extra price for extra care!
Similar Products
Pulse isn't the only value-packed clinically dosed pre workout.
Here are Legion Pulse's direct competitors:
- Transparent Labs Bulk – Better stimulant matrix and less crash than Pulse. However pulse contains a larger dosage of l-citrulline malate and beta-alanine.
- NutraBio PRE – Pulse tastes better and performs better but NutraBio's stimulant matrix hits harder in a very aggressive way. NutraBio PRE uses sucralose though.
- Pre-Jym by Jym Supplement Science – Same concept but not as effective, Pulse is like Pre-Jym 2.0. Pre-Jym contains BCAAs and alpha GPC which isn't present in Pulse.
Review Conclusion 8.3/10 Very Good
From start to finish, Legion Pulse did not let our team down. It did exactly what it said it was meant to do. No faulty advertising, just pure results.
We've been fan-boys of Mike Mathews for quite some time due to the awesome free content he posts on MuscleForLife.com… And now we look up to him even more for the great work he has done with Legion.
If you value a high quality product, Pulse is right up there with the best of the best – no question.
Ingredients in Legion Pulse
- L-citrulline dl-malate 2:1 at 8 grams: This is the l-citrulline form and dosage that has had the greatest number of positive clinical studies.
- Carnosyn beta-alanine at 4.8 grams: This is the largest beta-alanine dosage that we've ever taken in a pre-workout. Many brands may act like this is excessive, but according to the research, it's just right with 3.2 to 5 grams being the optimal dosage.
- Betaine anhydrous at 2.5 grams: Betaine is less-frequently under-dosed, but a solid ingredient nonetheless.
- L-ornithine HCL at 2.2 grams: Definitely super-charges the l-citrulline malate and improves endurance (1).
- Caffeine anhydrous at 350 milligrams: This is a pretty big caffeine dosage, but it works well in this formula.
- L-theanine at 350 milligrams: If we could change anything, it would be to increase this l-theanine dosage to make the caffeine smoother. But regardless, its significantly more than most brands are willing to include.
- Maltodextrin carbohydrates at 4 grams: Likely for natural flavoring.
Additional Information
While taking Legion's pre workout Pulse, we did both heavy lifting and cardio training. On heavy lifting days, the full serving size was ideal for a solid lift.
However on cardio days, half a serving was plenty.
Despite which training you perform, be sure to take Pulse with a full glass of water and stay hydrated while you lift. This will compliment Pulse's natural energy promoting formula, as well as ensure the huge raw caffeine dosage doesn't make you too jittery.
Another big plus for this pre workout is its all-natural flavoring, sweetening, and dyes. You'd be amazed how much artificial garbage some pre workouts contain. Legion on the other hand doesn't participate in that game, and we appreciate it.
Feel free to send us your feedback or questions regarding pulse. We can't compliment it enough!

The principle stating that energy cannot be created or destroyed, although it can be changed from one form to another. The law of conservation of energy has been established by a multitude of meticulous measurements of gains and losses of all known forms of energy. Some parts or particles of the system may gain energy, but others must lose just as much. Thus, in any isolated or closed system, the sum of all forms of energy remains constant. The energy of the system may be interconverted among many different forms (see illustration), including mechanical, electrical, magnetic, thermal, chemical, and nuclear forms. Moreover, as time progresses, it tends to become less and less available. However, within the limits of small experimental uncertainty, no change in total amount of energy has been observed in any situation in which it has been possible to ensure that energy has not entered or left the system in the form of work or heat. For a system that is both gaining and losing energy in the form of work and heat, as is true of any machine in operation, the energy principle asserts that the net gain of energy is equal to the total change of the system's internal energy.
