Florida Democrats' best candidate for governor right now isn't a candidate and wasn't always one of them. And party leaders caused a stir by snubbing a longtime candidate and party stalwart. But when the elites of the Florida Democratic Party met Saturday in Hollywood for their annual fundraising gala, they suggested none of that was really a big problem for one big reason: Rick Scott. More from the Times/Herald and the AP.
Working in a restaurant or bagging groceries once were the staples of part-time work. But somewhere, somehow, things went a little wacky. New regulations were foisted on businesses restricting the hours some teens could work, and limiting the types of work they could do. [Source: Florida Today]
Florida didn't trigger the financial crisis within the National Flood Insurance Program. In fact, over the past 35 years, the state's property owners have helped prop up the program, paying four times more than what they have gotten back in claims. The payback for all that financial help: About 270,000 Florida properties could face huge flood insurance rate hikes. [Source: Tampa Bay Times]

The miracle of church is not in being surrounded by perfect people, or in never being offended, but in seeing those who have offended us and those who we have offended, come to Christ and be healed.
To see both the offender and the offended — we will most likely be on both ends at some point — healed and come together through Christ and be one is the true miracle and the goal of membership in Christ’s church.
“That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.” John 17:21
“I say unto you, be one; and if ye are not one ye are not mine.” D/C 38:27
Don’t give up going to church because someone has offended you. Press forward with a faith that Christ can heal your heart and the heart of the other person too. And who knows, when time has passed, sorry has been said and a hug given, your hearts may be knit together in a bond that you could have never achieved before.
The atonement is real. It really does heal. Let it work that miracle within you.

For all the talk about a new era in Augusta after last November’s election swept Republicans into control, moderates still play an outsize role.
Ditto for the state budget, which was originally touted as a forum to remake state government by Republican legislative leaders. While there are needed changes to the pension system, tighter restrictions on welfare and a small tax decrease, these are all incremental, reasonable changes, not wholesale reform.
Both Republicans and Democrats — rightly — have claimed success as the 125th Legislature’s first session draws to a close.
“I think it has been a very productive session and there have been some extraordinary accomplishments,” Senate President Kevin Raye said Friday. “If you consider the economic climate and the challenges we faced in the budget, I’m very proud of what we have done.”
Republican leaders, especially Gov. Paul LePage, set the right priorities when they took over the Blaine House and State House for the first time in decades. Without reform, the state’s pension system threatened to gobble up inordinate shares of the state budget in coming years. State rules and regulations — and their implementation — often left business owners confused and frustrated. State spending routinely outpaced state revenues.
In each of these areas, Republican leaders offered solutions. Many were too extreme. The governor’s 64-point list of “regulatory reforms,” written by a corporate law firm, was modified to the more reasonable creation of a small business ombudsman in the Department of Community and Economic Development and a shrinking of the Board of Environmental Protection among other changes. A welfare reform proposal that contained unconstitutional provisions and would have caused property tax increases in the state’s largest cities was reworked to a more acceptable plan.
Such changes came about because of moderate lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. Here is the model House Minority Leader Emily Cain of Orono said she used: “Did we prevent the state from moving backward? Did we prevent harm to the most vulnerable citizens?”
Republican leaders, especially those on the Appropriations Committee, largely followed a similar path to take the rough edges off proposals that otherwise made sense and were necessary. From their commitment to a budget that would be passed by two-thirds of lawmakers — rather than a simple majority — to their willingness to focus pension reform on paying down the unfunded liability rather than punishing state workers, these leaders deserve a lot of credit.
The largest question is what this means for the 2012 elections. Do Republicans still need to hue hard to the right to attract the votes of tea party adherents? Could this strategy backfire if independent voters are turned off by the more extreme positions? What about Democrats? They can’t just campaign as the anti-Republicans. Many of the changes accomplished by Republicans this year — pension reform and a clearer regulatory process, for example — have long been needed.
Gov. LePage criticized lawmakers for not doing enough. They did a lot and deserve credit for it.

Penicillium is another mold that thrives in the presence of excess moisture or water in the home or at work. It produces the moldy basement or crawl space smell that is commonly associated with old houses that have excess dampness. Some species are allergenic and some actually produce mycotoxins (toxic substances produced by molds). The presence of penicillium can be confirmed by sampling and laboratory analysis, as with other opportunistic molds. Penicillium can be a definite indoor health hazard and should be properly remediated to increase air quality in your apartment, house, office, warehouse, factory, showroom, or other place of business. Penicillium is frequently one of the first molds to attack a home that has had water or excess moisture intrusion. It is a reliable indicator of water damage in the home, especially in the hidden recesses behind finished basement walls.
Call us for help in the elimination of Penicillium, Cladosporium, Alternaria, Aspergillus, Epicoccum, Rhizopus, Stachybotrys, Helminthosporium, Fusarium, Mucor, and Aureobasidium (Pullularia) as well as some more common allergen and health hazard culprits.

Effect of Per Capita Income on Youth Unemployment in Kenya
Keywords:Youth Unemployment, Per Capita Income, Kenya
Purpose: The objective was to determine the effect of per capita income on youth unemployment in Kenya.
Methodology: The study was anchored on Okun’s law, which predicts a 1% drop in employment from a 2% drop in GDP. The study used the World Bank Database’s quantitative time series data from 1991–2021. The choice of the ARDL was based on the ability of the model to give long-run and short-run analyses of stationary and non-stationary variables. Pre-estimation procedures and diagnostics tests were used to determine the stability of the model.
Findings: Findings revealed a significant negative relationship between per capita income (-0.3666, p = 0.013) and youth unemployment in the long-run. The speed of adjustment (-0.89999, p = 0.0001) from the short-run to the long-run is evident.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: This study may help academicians develop their knowledge of youth unemployment. It may increase understanding of per capita income as an indicator of growth and its application in Okun’s law. The Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) may benefit from this study by creating better packages of salaries, allowances, and mortgages that may attract and improve the standard of living of Kenyan youth. The Public Service Board (PSB) may establish youth-friendly offices to motivate youth to stay in the labour force. Moreover, this study may guide the State Department for Youth Affairs to promote youth employment and increase labour productivity in Kenya. The State Department of Gender may use the study in gender mainstreaming and gender policy management. Policymakers will assess the effectiveness of the curriculum in preparing youth for the job market. An increase in labour productivity will result from increasing youth employment.

We’re back in Big Sky this week with the additional challenge of eating local when we’re out of town staying in a condo. True to the spirit of the Dark Days Challenge I decided to play with the rules a little and modify my challenge this week to be a local main dish for every meal. The fun part was combining local Minnesota carried in the car with local Montana purchased here in Bozeman.
My niece Michelle lives on the mountain. She kicked off the week by welcoming us with a dinner of venison cooked in wine and mushrooms served over noodles. The venison came from the fall hunt, about as local and delicious as you can get.
Monday featured Montana grass fed beef steaks cooked on the grill with organic Idaho baked potatoes, smothered in Minnesota Creamery butter and sour cream to celebrate Michelle and Brian’s engagement.
Tuesday we enjoyed dinner at The Cabin at Big Sky and I ordered the Elk, raised in Montana and served with Idaho mashed potatoes.
Wednesday I made Lamb Shepherd Pie with home raised lamb, onions and carrots from Mpls Farmer’s market last fall (can’t believe they made it this long) once again served over those wonderful Idaho potatoes. Can you tell I love being in Montana and having potatoes grown nearby!
Dinner tonite will be a pork roast from our freezer with organic saurkraut, hopefully next year I’ll have my own to use, and Friday’s plan is Minnesota Sunshine Spaghetti with sauce made with ground pork from the same pig flavored with spices that I carried home from Italy 2 years ago. Unfortunately I forgot the tomatoes from the freezer so will have to substitute organic canned crushed tomatoes.
Saturday we’ll be driving home having enjoyed a wonderful combination of local meals here in Montana!

Most electric guitars require an amplifier in order to create loud enough music for other people in the room or home, though an amp may not always be required – there are multiple ways you can play your e-guitar without it!
Many people prefer unplugging their electric guitar for quiet practice or in order to prevent disturbing other members of their household, particularly hollow or semi-hollow body models.
Table of Contents

Electric guitars may be played unplugged, but for optimal sound production they require an amplifier. This is because unlike acoustic instruments which utilize sound holes for string vibration resonance, an electric guitar uses pickups which convert these vibrations into electrical signals which are amplified by its amplifier to produce louder sounding tones.
There are other methods available for playing guitar without an amplifier, however. One such approach is using a digital interface, which connects your electric guitar directly to a computer and runs software that mimics the sound of an amp and effects pedals – popular options being BIAS FX and AmpliTube which both feature standalone apps to support mobile playback.
Headphone amplifiers are another method of playing electric guitar without an amp, providing a great way to avoid disturbing other residents with excessive noise when practicing. Once purchased, these headphones allow for comfortable playing at any time of day or night without disturbing others nearby.
Option 2 involves recording guitar with an audio interface equipped with microphone and recording your performance into a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). While this may not be an economical or practical solution for many musicians, DAW recordings can help create professionally-sounding recordings suitable for gigging or studio use.
Some manufacturers have even devised electric guitars that don’t need amplifiers at all; this type of instrument features pickups which convert vibrations of its strings into electrical signals which are amplified by its circuitry for sound production. Though this option might not be ideal for most guitarists, it might be worth investigating if you’re searching for an all-in-one solution that fulfills all your musical needs.
If you want to record yourself playing guitar, a digital interface may be your ideal solution. All it requires is an audio interface equipped with a headphone jack and pair of headphones as well as the necessary software or Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). Many devices include built-in amp plugins so you can get different sounds while other can be purchased separately – this method enables practice without disturbing others in the house, plus many compact interfaces can easily travel with you when traveling.
Some devices allow people to play electric guitar without an amplifier, which can be extremely helpful if you want to avoid disturbing family or neighbors while practicing. These small battery operated devices plug directly into the output jack of the guitar, providing headphones as input port. They can be adjusted to give a wide variety of sound characteristics as well as special features like equalization or distortion options not typically found on regular amplifiers. Some even come equipped with built-in speakers for an immersive listening experience!
One major advantage of these devices is their ability to allow for loud guitar playing without disturbing others, but without offering as much power or sound quality as an amp would. Although some users may prefer full-sized amplifiers over these smaller alternatives, these portable solutions do provide an alternative means of practicing at lower volumes or without bothering anyone in the house.
Another alternative is using a multi-effects pedal with your guitar. These devices take the electric signal from your guitar and modify it into an acoustic sound which is then sent through a speaker system for playback. They are great for experimenting with various guitar tones or recording studio environments; plus they are relatively inexpensive and lightweight compared to regular amplifiers!
Home Stereo System
Many guitarists who regularly play guitar are opting for multi-effects processors instead of amps to provide all the tone-shaping capability of traditional amps and pedals. These convenient single hardware units make playing guitar without an amplifier easier, while some even feature an auxiliary input to connect directly with PA systems – an attractive solution for musicians who regularly perform at venues that have sound systems of their own and don’t require extra mics.
Home stereo systems and speakers can also be used to amplify electric guitars, providing easy setup for practice or recording sessions. Some have multiple outputs so other devices such as headphones or computers may also be connected at once for enhanced tone sculpting capabilities as well as keeping volume at an appropriate level.
Some electric guitar models feature built-in amplifiers to amplify their signal. Usually with small violin-type sound holes and typically found on hollow or semi-hollow body guitars. Although their sound may not compare with that of an acoustic instrument, these electrics are still an attractive option for those without enough room to store a separate amplifier.
Some guitarists enjoy the experience of playing through a tube amp and may not want to give that up entirely, yet there are numerous alternatives for those who still require the power of an amp. Millions of guitarists have tried and tested these methods and while none can replace the feel of an amplifier entirely, these methods offer effective alternatives when limited in terms of budget or time make full rigs impractical – they may also help apartment dwellers save on expenses associated with amplifiers and related equipment.
Electric guitar pickups amplify vibration of strings into sound signals which are then transformed into electrical impulses by amplifiers, creating what we hear through speakers or headphones as music from an electric guitar. However, even without an amp there are ways you can still play an electric guitar: for example you could plug it into an audio interface connected to your smartphone using an app which mimics different types of amps for playing electric guitar.
Connect your guitar directly into a multi-effects pedal or floor unit equipped with a headphone out jack. Some models will even allow you to change the tone via digital signal processing technology and shape your sound without amps; these units are extremely popular among musicians who wish to practice quietly at home and are frequently included with beginner electric guitar packages.
If you want to connect your guitar directly to a PA system and perform live, an amp is usually your best choice. Just be sure that the venue offers sound engineering support, or is willing to work with you on using their PA system for your guitar if there is none available. Otherwise, a digital interface or portable multi-effects processor that connects directly with microphone could provide better results – though only when used through PA systems.
Your electric guitar can also be amplified without an amp by connecting it to your computer or tablet and using a virtual guitar tone-staging plugin, such as Guitar Vst Plugin for free, which emulates different amp sounds. There may also be multi-effect pedals available with dedicated amp models that you can plug into your rig.
Be mindful that playing an electric guitar without an amp has its limitations; the volume won’t match what an amplifier provides and sound may not be as clear or detailed. But playing without one can still provide valuable practice to help develop your playing and discover whether an amplifier would be beneficial in meeting your musical goals.

I've got a Trinity T-Spec for a cheap dirt oval car, and last time I had it out the rear ring & pinion let go. Do some digging online, find out neither gear is being produced anymore.
Well, everyone who'se looked at this car says the same thing, "It looks like a backwards Associated TC3 or a TC4." Sure enough, tub chassis, aluminum shaft drive, it pretty much is an Associated TC-something with the battery on the wrong side. It already has a TC3 motor mount in it, so what're the odds that I could make a diff gear and it's pinion from a TC3 or TC4 fit this thing? Otherwise I'm kinda S.O.L.
And before we begin:
1. I know the T-Spec is a cheap turd of a car, that's exactly the reason I bought this one for dirt oval racing. Unless you can beat $25 don't tell me to sell it and buy something else.
2. I'm not getting one from "some guy I know who knows another guy who has all this old R/C stuff on eBay". If you know where I can get the actual T-Spec gears from a regular online hobby shop, that'd be awesome.
Sorry to sound bitchy but I just KNOW I'd get a deluge of that if I didn't say something. This car was an impulse buy running on zero budget and I'm really not up for spending serious money on a dirt oval car, I just want to fix the one I have. Best case scenario, someone jumps on and says "oh yeah a TC3 diff will bolt right in!"

Twenty vaginal washes (VWs) and ten vaginal mucus (VM) samples from patients with trichomoniasis were examined for the presence of antibody to surface protein immunogens of Trichomonas vaginalis. Fourteen of 20 VWs (70%) and 8 of 10 VM (80%) had immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody (Ab) that reacted in an immunoprecipitation (IP) assay with one iodinated Trichomonas vaginalis surface protein immunogen with a relative molecular mass of 230,000 daltons (230-kDa) (P230). No similar IP of any iodinated protein was observed when detergent extract was first depleted of P230 with monoclonal antibody (MAb), indicating a highly specific VW IgG response of patients to P230. VWs were also obtained from 10 patients from one to four weeks after treatment. These VWs had the same, or in one case a greater, level of IgG to P230. Under no circumstances was Ab to P230 or any other trichomonad protein detected in VWs or VM from normal, uninfected women. Flow cytofluorometry with VW Ab yielded heterogeneous fluorescent and non-fluorescent populations of trichomonads, reaffirming the restricted Ab response to one or a few epitopes on P230 in the vagina of patients. Under identical conditions, the MAb gave totally fluorescent parasite populations of some isolates, and the MAb again demonstrated variable epitope accessibility to Ab binding (Infect Immun 1987;55:1037). Finally, the MAb or VW Ab was never cytolytic for immunoreactive (fluorescent) parasites, even in the presence of complement. This study identifies the most important trichomonad surface immunogen on the basis of the vaginal Ab response, and data underscore the significance of immune evasion strategies of this sexually transmitted disease agent.

As a fourth generation fruit grower from Tasmania, Howard Hansen, CEO of Hansen Orchards, produces high quality cherries and apples for a premium market. In the early 1990’s, Hansen Orchards made the decision to expand their orchard from apples into cherry production. Tasmania has a competitive advantage with its climate allowing access to later season international markets. Cherry production now represents 70 per cent of Hansen Orchards business. The recent purchase of a license to be a member of ANFIC will enable Hansen Orchards to access earlier some of the newest varieties of apples, cherries and rootstocks from around the world.
Stephen and Glenn Riseborough of Cherryhill Orchards in Victoria, which are one of the largest fresh cherry producers in Australia, are the growers behind Cherry Rootstocks Australia Pty Ltd in association with fellow grower Jon Gaudion of Cherry King in Griffith, NSW. Established in 1940, Cherryhill is a third generation grower and one of Australia’s foremost and long established cherry producers. Jon, a third generation cherry farmer, expanded production to include Hillston NSW, a warmer environment, which results in an earlier supply of cherries to the market. The Hillston Nursery produces trees and rootstocks, currently producing in excess of 50,000 cherry trees annually for their farms and licensed contracted growers.
ANFIC is a not-for-profit Intellectual Property Management and Commercialization Company for new fruit varieties and rootstocks with access to a network of twelve progressive nursery members throughout Australia. The company has worked with new fruit varieties and rootstocks for Australian fruit industries since 1983. ANFIC’s goal is to undertake, promote and further the improvement, import and export of fruit varieties and rootstocks to the horticultural industry and has positioned its business to be innovators and leaders in new methods of product introductions, which in many cases are also managed globally.

I used to consider Happily Ever After as the ultimate success.
My parents didn’t have that success. One of my strongest memories growing up is of how I’d position pillows over my ears to achieve maximum noise-cancellation during their shouting matches. Their divorce was brutal, and even though I knew they were terrible for each other, and was 20 years old by the time it happened, it almost broke me.
I swore to find the opposite of what they had.
At 32, after a whirlwind, Hollywood movie-style romance (also one of my previous definitions of success), I got married. We bought a house, worked our asses off in our respective careers, and eventually started trying to have a baby. I went traveling alone for a month, assuming I’d be a mom soon. Instead, a light switch went off and I saw how much of myself I’d sacrificed to be married to my husband. I saw how much pressure I’d unconsciously put on him to compensate for that, and how joyless and isolated my life had become.
We parted ways a few months later, and only then did I begin to understand how, in my quest for Happily Ever After, I had always turned to men for validation. Since puberty. Probably since before that.
I had no idea how to believe that I was beautiful without someone telling me. Or that I was interesting, or intelligent, or sexual. For my entire adult and teenage life, I had leaned on relationships - or obsessions with men - the way an addict leans on drugs: jumping from one to the next, knowing they were making things worse but still desperately hoping they would take my terrible feelings away. And I had cut myself off from vital parts of my soul because of them. My life, as they say in 12 step programs, had become unmanageable.
So, at age 39, I did the most terrifying thing I’d ever done, and walked through the door of my first Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous meeting. Here’s the thing about the most terrifying thing you’ve ever done: a lot of the time, it’s also the best thing. In SLAA, I learned that day that other people, especially ones who’d had childhoods like mine, were struggling with the same things as me. Even though they might look totally together from the outside. Especially when they looked totally together from the outside.
I’d thought not being in a relationship would feel isolating and disconnected. And it did at first, because I was so used to turning to a man to fill me up. But I also started experiencing a new type of connection: a group of people I could talk about it with. Still, it took an immense amount of presence and forgiveness to turn the ship around - to admit how far down the vortex I’d gone, and be vulnerable and reach out to my sponsor and other recovery buddies, and, eventually, with some close and understanding friends. I had to practice those things every hour of every day.
But very slowly, almost imperceptibly, changes began to happen. I started accepting my neuroses as part of the imperfect human I was, rather than something I needed to get rid of, or paint over with a man’s affections. I began spending time with that human, and not berating her for her strong emotions. I started to learn about all the factors that had contributed to this situation – societal structure, parental influence, trauma. I began understanding how to turn away from addictive distractions, and accept the fear and discomfort that sometimes felt like they were going to swallow me whole… but never did.
I started a relationship a year after I began recovery. Happily Ever After, right?
Here’s the thing about relationships: they are mirrors for our stuff. My old patterns still rear their heads, along with—bonus!—new patterns I’d never had the chance to explore before, because I’d never been in a relationship that was emotionally safe enough to do so. I still edit myself. I still lose myself. I still panic about getting too close or not being close enough. But now, I choose, with compassion, to work on that stuff. No one can fix me, and the less I expect a partner to, the more at peace I am.
I’ve also had to acknowledge that I don’t want a relationship that looks like what I’ve been taught is “right”. I still need lots of time to hang with those parts of myself I’d shelved for so many years, and with recovery buddies and friends who are on similar journeys to mine. And although one day I might change my mind, right now, I don’t feel any urge to move in with or marry anyone. These are societal expectations, the same way we’re expected to want to be in a relationship, or be in one, or to have children.
I could say I’ve learned to be alone. The truth is, I’ve learned I’m not alone.
Our culture wants us to believe that, unless we are loved monogamously by another, we are broken. But what’s actually broken, what’s actually almost destroyed, is our sense of community. Whether we’re solo, coupled or part of a family, we can only find peace or purpose if we are supported by people with whom we can be real. If we can share our struggles and challenge our negative beliefs alongside others doing the same. If we can be vulnerable, and ask for help, and, eventually, offer support, too.
Self-love, self help and self improvement are all great byproducts of wholeness, but they can’t be our ultimate goal. Because it is not the “me” that needs to heal - it’s the space between me. And you. And all of us.


On Friday, Stefan Krempl wrote an article for heise.de about the new strategy of the Senate of Berlin to extend its Open Data Portal. Open Data Berlin is the first open data project in Germany for the public administration. In the UK this is much more common and already a regular service.
In Berlin, the Senate published a strategy document in cooperation with the Fraunhofer-Institute FOCUS, where the future of the project is designed – including demands for better organizational structures, coherent metadata schema and useful applications.
In the medium term, all enactments and protocols -if not classified as confidential- should be made available to the public on the platform.
In their paper, Fraunhofer proposes to publish these documents in open formats only – a useful attempt especially when we’re thinking about the long-term preservation of these data.
Beside textual documents, datasets of the public administration and applications are also published.
Actually there already is a number of datasets (currently 58) and applications available (e.g. the number of inhabitants in Berlin, data for the Open Street Map project, or data of the Mircocensus) – mostly published with a CC-BY License. At the moment the content is limited – but hopefully in the future we’ll see more content and more of these portals in Germany.

To Top or Not to Top, That is the Question!
For the past 25 years, there has been an abundance of evidence and literature to say that topping a tree is not a good practice. Even though it has been proven detrimental to trees, it is still done today as common practice.
Topping a tree includes indiscriminately cutting off tree limbs to stubs or cutting to lateral branches. You can see here the stumps that have been cut at the top of each branch.
Many homeowners feel that topping a tree reduces the size of the tree, thus reducing potential risk. But in fact, it increases the risk in the long term.
Topping removes 50-100% of a tree's crown, which bares leaves. This starves a tree and triggers a survival mechanism. The tree will send out shoots to create a new crop of leaves. If energy is not available to do this, it will be weekended and potentially die.
This stress causes the tree to be vulnerable to disease and insects.
Topping can also lead to a tree getting sunburned. The leaf crown protects the tree bark from sunlight. If the crown is topped off, the trunk is exposed to more sunlight. This causes cankers, bark splitting, and death of some branches.
If cuts are indiscriminate, it creates wounds that the tree may not be able to heal. This gives decay organisms a free path to move throughout the branches.
Topping a tree does cause quick growth of new shoots. Yet, these shoots are not firmly attached and may break off easily in wind or weather. The risk of limb failure has now increased greatly.
Lastly, topped trees are not attracted naturally. They appear disfigured and a topped tree will never again regain its natural beauty. You decide!

Troubleshooting Common Water Pump Issues
Water pumps are integral to the smooth operation of our homes and workplaces, driving the flow of water we often take for granted. Despite their importance, it’s easy to neglect them until inconvenient water pump issues emerge. Sometimes, despite our best efforts at troubleshooting and maintenance, you may need a new water pump. This blog post is designed to equip you with the knowledge to identify, troubleshoot, and potentially prevent common issues, helping to keep your system reliable and efficient.
Common Signs of Water Pump Issues
Visualize your water pump as the heart of your plumbing system, consistently circulating water throughout your property. This vital piece of machinery requires regular upkeep to function optimally. Failure to do so can lead to problems such as decreased water pressure or even total system breakdown, emphasizing the need for proper maintenance and understanding of your pump. Regular checks and necessary adjustments maintain efficiency and extend the system’s lifespan, helping ensure uninterrupted access to this life-sustaining resource.
Recognizing water pump issues on time can save you from potential havoc. By learning how to troubleshoot common water pump problems, you’ll be better prepared to address them promptly. Keep an ear out for unusual sounds like grinding or buzzing – these could be the first signs of mechanical issues. Have you spotted a leak? If not addressed, that could lead to substantial water loss and potential structural damage. Also, an overheated pump is a ticking time bomb, with telltale signs including excessively hot water from your faucets.
Unravelling the Mystery: Common Issues and Their Causes
As we continue to unravel the mystery of common issues, one can’t ignore the problem of cavitation. Cavitation, the rapid creation, and collapse of air bubbles in the pump, can cause severe damage to the pump’s interior, resulting in reduced operational efficiency. This issue can manifest as a rattling noise or reduced water flow, often resulting from a blockage in the suction line or a pump operating above its recommended capacity.
Next on our list is the troublesome issue of airlocks. Airlocks occur when air gets trapped in the pump, preventing water from effectively circulating. This issue could cause your pump to run erratically, make unusual noises, or stop pumping water entirely. Causes can include a leak in the suction line, a faulty valve, or being placed too high above the water source.
Finally, another common issue is a faulty motor, which can stop your pump from functioning. A pump motor can fail due to overheating, electrical problems, or even wear and tear from prolonged use. Signs of a failing motor include the pump not starting or stopping abruptly during operation.
In all instances, mastering these problems not only aids in effective troubleshooting but also in maintaining an efficient and healthy water system. Prevention is better than cure. This idea extends to the moving and storage service industry. If you’re planning a move, Excalibur Moving and Storage advise you to check and service the water pump of your new home before settling in. Ensuring it’s in good working order can prevent unexpected disruptions, allowing for a smoother transition. Similarly, if you’re storing belongings, ensuring they are dry and well-protected can prevent potential water damage.
DIY: Simple Solutions
As part of a proactive approach to maintaining your water system, various DIY solutions can tackle common problems. If you experience reduced water pressure, inspect the pressure switch settings and adjust them if necessary. Alternatively, you may face clogged pipes, which you can clean using a pipe cleaner or a plunger. However, if these DIY measures fail to resolve the issue, it’s advisable to consider professional help.
Another frequent problem is pump cycling, often attributable to a water-logged pressure tank that may need replacing. For minor leaks, applying a sealant might solve the issue. But it’s crucial to remember that not every problem can or should be addressed independently. Complex or persistent issues, like a broken mechanical seal, necessitate professional intervention. When in doubt, don’t hesitate to contact a professional plumber to ensure longevity and optimal functioning.
Preventive Measures: Keeping It Healthy
Adopting a regimen of regular inspections and routine maintenance can significantly enhance the lifespan and performance of your pump. It is customary to check your pump and its immediate surroundings, looking for telltale signs of potential issues like leaks or unusual sounds. These could be internal problems or wear and tear indicators requiring immediate attention to prevent further damage. Additionally, ensure that the pressure settings are aligned correctly per the manufacturer’s guidelines. A misadjusted pressure setting could lead to a decrease in efficiency or even serious damage over time. Equally crucial is inspecting your pressure tank for water-logging, a common cause of pump cycling, which could shorten the life of your pump.
Furthermore, regularly clean and unclog your pipes to maintain an uninterrupted and smooth water flow. Incorporate these checks as part of your regular household maintenance routine. Remember, a stitch in time saves nine – spotting and addressing small issues can help prevent larger, more expensive problems. Preserve the efficient functioning of this crucial component of your home’s water system.
Moreover, it’s critical to respect your pump’s limits; overburdening it can accelerate wear and tear. Think about investing in a pump cover to shield it from adverse weather, particularly if it’s situated outdoors. High-quality, impurity-free water can prevent internal blockages that compromise your pump’s functionality. Adhering to a regime of attentive care and regular maintenance can effectively extend the life of your water pump, guaranteeing its reliable service for many years ahead.
Understanding and addressing water pump issues can save us from larger headaches. We’ve explored the inner workings of a pump and the signs that indicate a potential problem and common issues and their causes. Most importantly, we’ve examined some DIY solutions and discussed preventative maintenance practices. Remember, regular inspection and maintenance are key to a healthy water pump.

I've been up for twenty hours straight, I confess. I woke up at 2 am for the release of the Ladybug and Cat Noir movie, and now it's 11 pm as I write this blog post. But I couldn't go to bed when I wanted to. As I was getting ready to go to bed, I got confirmation that the Ladybug and Cat Noir movie wasn't the only movie tied to something I'm obsessed to release today.
After what feels like a million years, the AMERICAN GIRL CORINNE MOVIE IS ON AMAZON PRIME. FOR PURCHASE AND STREAMING!!!!
Of course, I had to sacrifice sleep to watch it and figure out if this 60 minute movie was worth the extra 8 months of waiting and channel hop from HBO Max to Amazon Prime. And it was worth every extra day we waited.
My favorite thing about this movie had to be the acting, to be honest. I know from filmmaking experience that finding talented actors to carry out roles, especially younger roles, is a hard task, but Miya and Kai Cech were phenomenal as Corinne and Gwynn, and the entire supporting cast did great as well. I also really liked the story and writing. Usually, I prefer my American Girl adaptations to be more accurate to the books, but I liked the changes made to Corinne's story to provide more emphasis on a few emotional threads - Corinne's relationship with Gwynn, struggle to find purpose in life and dealing with her parent's divorce and moving in with Arne.
Since the movie was only 60 minutes long instead of 90 like a normal American Girl movie, some things had to be cut, but writer May Chan, who also wrote the Ivy and Julie movie, did a really good job streamlining the story.
As I write this review, I also have to praise the movie for how it depicted a tough subject such as divorce without making it too traumatic for young viewers. I was a year older than Gwynn was in the movie when my parents divorced, and it can be really tough to even deal with, so making a movie dealing with it for such a young age group can be challenging. But like I said before, it was all in the acting, and I could pick up on the nuances of the subject without it overwhelming the whole story. Finally, I enjoyed that just like the Corinne book, there were some authentic references to Chinese-American culture, such as some Mandarin words and Corinne's mom's Chinese cooking.
I have to admit I didn't particularly like the cinematography at the beginning of the movie - it felt a little flat. However, as the movie progressed, the camera angles chosen and the lighting got better, so I can forgive what was initially bumpy. A bit of the dialogue dealing with slang terms, like "stan" (as in Kpop stan) and "sus", was a little weird and probably won't age well in a few years, but those are the only criticisms I can really come up with. You know the movie was good when you don't have much bad to say about it!
This has to be one of my favorite American Girl movies of all time, and alongside Grace Stirs Up Success, my favorite Girl of the Year movie. I'm so glad this movie saw the light of day, and I hope American Girl fans spread the word that it's finally out and enjoy it like I did!

Basically you can knit with thick and thin yarn at any gauge, but you’ll need to experiment a little to see how the yarn behaves for you on different needle sizes and on the tension you usually apply to yarn. Each knitter’s feeding tension (how much yarn is fed to the needle and the strain being put on the yarn by the knitter’s hands) is unique, so even though a yarn label recommends a certain needle size to achieve a specific gauge, it doesn’t always work out.
Bamboo Bloom has a recommended needle size of US9 [5.5mm] and states that 15 sts and 22 rows per 4″ [10cm] will be achieved. A US9 [5.5mm] needle size is what is usually given for a chunky yarn, but what is interesting to me is that the thinnest sections of Bamboo Bloom are more like DK weight and the thickest parts are like extra-chunky. Universal Yarns must have come up with an average gauge based on what most of the accompanying patterns look like.
So, it would be good for us knitters to take several needle sizes and swatch to see which size works best with the yarn, or the way I prefer to think of it, which effect is created by the different needle sizes and which effect is the one I want. Let’s look at a comparison of some swatches.
In the above swatch, I knit across 30 stitches with size US7 [4.5mm] needles. On the knit side of this stockinette stitch swatch you can see how the puffy segments of yarn fill up the space they have and really compete with neighboring stitches beside them, and a little with those they’re worked into. The right leg of each stitch is slightly receding to the back of the fabric. The push and pull play of these stitches also creates a waviness in the fabric that is interesting. This swatch has little drape and is quite stiff, so it wouldn’t work for a loose-fitting garment needing a lot of softness and movement. But I really liked how it looked on the purl side.
I was REALLY excited by how the purl side of this swatch looked, however. The ridges of puffy stitches were really evenly distributed across and up and down this 30-stitch swatch. I really liked the valleys and ridges that were formed. As a design element, I would probably use this yarn at this gauge in a sweater that was worked side to side so that the ridges would be vertical and slimming.
The reflection of the ‘shininess’ of the bamboo sections really create an interesting play on movement with the sheen coming from valleys as well as the crests of the ridges. A quick one-skein project would be side to side wrist warmers, fingerless mitts, or boot cuffs.
In the next post, we’ll look at this yarn knit on larger needles.
This is part 2 of 5 in this series.

The Bay Area has a rich and storied history of completely and utterly screwing things up. Take the rebuilding of San Francisco after the Great Conflagration of 1906. After The City burned to the ground, they had the opportunity to build a perfectly planned out metropolis that would rise from the ashes. According to an 2005 SF Weekly article by Curt Sanburn, legendary architect Daniel Burnham even had a plan before the catastrophe to create a street grid with “a neoclassical scheme of wide boulevards and avenues radiating out from ceremonial plazas and mighty hilltop monuments, with a grand, state-of-the-art, waterfront parkway encircling the entire city.” Doesn’t that just sound wonderful?
Instead those in charge said “Nah, let’s go back to the one that makes no sense,” and they rebuilt it the way it was, with two competing street grids that only work together because Market Street bisects them at an odd angle.
It took another disaster to undo one of San Francisco’s most salient blunders. Someone in the 1940s stood on the foot of Market Street, looked East towards the magnificent view of the Ferry Building, the working waterfront, the luminous Bay and said, “You know what this needs? A multilevel freeway!” Built in the 1950s and left standing until the 1989 earthquake kicked its ass so hard it had to be taken down, the Embarcadero Freeway was an abomination abhorred by nearly everyone.
We actually don’t have to look that far back though to see other completely idiotic things the people at the top have either agreed to or set in motion. Just look at the Millennium Tower, the blue-gray SoMa building that looks like a 60 floor space heater. Questions have arisen about whether there was sufficient peer review of the project, the second tallest residential building this side of the Mississippi that is now sinking and tilting.
Then there’s the Transbay Transit Center which, after eight years of construction, was open for a little more than a month before someone realized that the beams holding it together were cracked. We’re all hoping it will open sometime before the Central Subway does, which might never happen if the people building the subway continue to lay down miles of the wrong track and have to pull them back up.
Then there’s the genius who gave the green light to build the new Golden State Warriors arena right across the street from a children’s hospital. When rightfully concerned citizens asked “Wait, what happens if a Warriors game is letting out and my kid breaks her head open and needs to be rushed to the hospital?” those behind the project – like the Mayor’s Office and the Planning Department – said, “Look, we’ve thought of everything and we’ve got a plan for that.” It’s amazing that after all the aforementioned blunders anybody believed them.
I’m happy to report though that somebody at some agency somewhere did have a brilliant idea recently that actually made things much better. It used to be that when you arrived at SFO, the combined traffic of rideshares, taxis, and people picking up their loved ones made finding your ride, and getting in it, like an obstacle course from Double Dare. But an incredible solution has been devised.
The way SFO is set up, all the terminals have a walkway that feeds onto the top floor of the parking garage. So now, if you’re calling an Uber or a Lyft you just have to walk there and there’s a quaint little covered waiting area for you to idle in until your car arrives. This frees up a lot of the traffic jams for cabs and folks nice enough to pick someone up at the airport and now nobody has to hurdle children, dogs, and smokers just to get in their ride! It’s amazing what out of the box thinking can do.
Whoever came up with that idea should run for office or join the planning commission, because they might just be able to help us finally get some things right.

For further information refer UK Moths.
Davey, P., 2009: A widespread species in England, Wales and southern Scotland, the larva feeding on mosses (Musci spp.) and lichens (Lichenes spp.) growing on tree trunks, rocks and walls. In Dorset, the moth is widespread and locally common, with no discernible ecological preference. The form portlandica, where the basal area on the forewing is whitish, occurs infrequently along the Dorset coast.
The national norm is for a single brood in June and July, but in Dorset, the moth is also on the wing in August and into early September. Given the lack of sufficient nutrient in mosses and even less in lichens to sustain two summer generations, the moth is probably single brooded, comprising a small emergence initially followed by the main emergence.

Anyway, buy the book if you are interested.

Valve’s recent ruling might be something that will disallow coaches who are standing in for their team not to have their very own stickers. We at esportsjunkie, strongly disagree with this decision ( if it is official) since any player who plays for the team should be given a sticker for himself.
If you play in a major you should get a sticker. End of story. The fact you're gonna give garbage teams and players from the CIS and Asia minor stickers for beating nobody good but not zews and peacemaker is a fuckin joke.
Fix up, Valve.
— Thorin (@Thorin) December 20, 2017
The rumor was started after Peacemaker suggested Valve might be considering such a move.

PC Mag: 'Suspicious' Groups Were Big Buyers of Facebook Political Ads
New research points out a disturbing trend among political ads bought on Facebook: the lack of a public paper trail.
During the 2016 election, paid political ads on divisive topics were often sponsored by "suspicious groups" that left no information about their true identity, according to researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The research underscores the need for more transparency around digital political ads, said the nonprofit Campaign Legal Center.
"As this peer-reviewed study demonstrates, secretive groups were able to run tens of thousands of digital political ads without detection because of massive loopholes in our campaign finance laws," said Brendan Fischer, a director at CLC, in a statement.
