E-Vote: Alabama Reports No Significant Problems With New Voting System

February 7, 2008 By

Voting during Alabama's Super Tuesday primaries went smoothly and efficiently all across the state, according to a release for the Governor's Office, as Alabama's new voter registration system got its first real-life test.

Governor Bob Riley, who, as Special Master, was put in charge of making the state compliant with the federal Help America Vote Act by U.S. Federal Judge Keith Watkins, said the lack of significant problems -- even in the wake of Tuesday's record voter turnout -- shows the new system works very well. No county reported significant system problems and most problems that were reported were not related to the new voter registration system.

"A lot of people worked hard to bring Alabama into compliance and I want to thank them for their efforts, including members of our HAVA Implementation Committee, Secretary of State Beth Chapman and her staff, probate judges and their staffs, and all our registrars and circuit clerks in all 67 counties of Alabama," said Riley.

article imageCan routine exercise help increase your paycheck?

By Leigh Goessl     Jun 13, 2012 in Lifestyle
Want more money in your paycheck? According to a new study, the way to get that raise may be to simply take the time to exercise regularly.
A new study has been released that suggests exercising several times a week can lead to an increased salary, up to 9 percent higher.
The study was conducted by a professor from Cleveland State University.
Previous studies have linked bigger paychecks with exercise, but the cause and effect of the link was not clear as to why people who exercised more earned larger salaries.
The author of the study, Vasilios Kosteas, an economics professor at the university, decided to try and make the connection. He used a statistical technique called propensity-score matching to come to his conclusion.
"The idea [of propensity-score matching] is to score each study subject on whether they fit the profile of someone who exercises, based on factors like age, education level, and whether he or she played sports in high school," Smart Money explains.
Kosteas then compared the scores.
He writes in the study [PDF]:
While there has been a recent surge of interest by economists on the issue of obesity, relatively little attention has been given to the economic effects of regular physical activity apart from its impact on body composition. I find that regular exercise yields a six to nine percent wage increase. The results also show that while even moderate exercise yields a positive earnings effect, frequent exercise generates an even larger impact. These findings are fairly robust to a variety of estimation techniques.
Previous theories, cited by the author in the study's text, relating to exercise noted active individuals have higher energy levels, improved mental function and psychological function, and this translates to better productivity in the workplace.
Kosteas writes, "exercise can have a positive impact on labor market outcomes by serving as a signal to potential employers that the individual is dedicated and disciplined or through social networking effects."
He does acknowledge this theory is preliminary and feels additional studies are needed to confirm his findings. He also indicated that exercise doesn't guarantee higher earnings, but individuals can attain other rewards such as lowered healthcare costs or improved overall health.
The paper has been published in the June issue of the Journal of Labor Research.

article imageU.S. unemployment increases in heat of election campaign

By Larry Clifton     Aug 3, 2012 in Politics
Washington - As one anemic jobs report follows another in Washington, the unemployment rate reflects the pattern by increasing to 8.3 percent in July.
According to the Labor Department, just 163,000 jobs were added to the entire U.S. economy marginally raising the year’s average to a weak 151,000 per month.
Economists estimate a sustained increase of about 250,000 jobs per month would be necessary to improve unemployment numbers for over 12 million unemployed.
The unemployment increase from 8.2 percent to 8.3 is the wrong direction and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney wasted no time talking about it.
"Today's increase in the unemployment rate is a hammer blow to struggling middle-class families," Romney said in a statement released Friday. Democrats will likely say that because there was an increase in jobs created, their economic policies are working. However, with the unemployment rate rising, it becomes harder to make their case.
House Speaker John Boehber added his own take on the dismal economic report: "Two years after the Obama administration declared, 'welcome to the recovery,' this much is clear," Boehner said. "With 42 consecutive months of unemployment above eight percent, the private sector still isn't 'doing fine' and President Obama's economic plan did not work," he said, as quoted in a Fox News report.
Boehner is quoted by Fox News saying "any new job creation is welcome news," however unemployment over 8 percent makes it "insane to raise taxes on small businesses."
President Obama and the Democrats want to raise taxes on workers and business owners earning $250,000 or more, while Republicans want to approve all Bush tax cuts because raising taxes on business owners will cost more jobs.
Meanwhile, the Obama administration needs the cash since it has amassed a nearly $6 trillion deficit during his presidency, far more than any other U.S. president.
July's modest job gains and the rise in unemployment three years after many financial analysts claimed an end to the recession in June 2009 do not bode well for Mr. Obama, who is tied with Mr. Romney in many polls.
GDP output crept at 1.5 percent in the second quarter. Economic growth last quarter was down from 2 percent in the first quarter and 4.1 percent in the last quarter of 2011, showing a clear pattern of weakening, according to the Fox report.
President Obama has promised to make tax increases, or in other words, not approving all of the Bush tax cuts, the focus of his reelection bid.

DVD Review

Of the growing number of anime series I have been watching over the past several months, each one has something unique to offer and, while some are better than others, I haven't found many lemons yet. Evangelion was one of the first TV series I discovered as a dOc reviewer, and it continues to impress, though I think I should tone down my recommendations for these shows so some of my colleagues here won't be so eager for the review copies! It isn't hard to see why the series is so popular, as it combines decent action sequences with a continuing storyline and plenty of humor, with a bit of fan service thrown in for good measure.

The action continues as Angels persists in their attack on Japan, in disc three of the 8 installment Neon Genesis Evangelion set. Three episodes are contained on this disc: Both Of You, Dance Like You Want To Win!, Magma Diver and The Day Tokyo 3 Stood Still.

With remnants of the last Angel still lying in the streets, NERV is busy incorporating their latest acquisition, the first production model Eva, into their defense against the Angels. The new girl at school is driving the boys crazy, but for Shinji it's not because of her devastating body. Asuka Langley Sohru (Yuko Miamura) is the new Eva pilot, imported from Germany, and she's been making his life miserable since they first met, due to her highly arrogant nature. To make matters worse, after an embarrasing defeat at the hands of the latest Angel, she has been moved into Shinji and Misato's home, something neither Shinji or Asuka are all too happy about. To really top it all off, they are now expected to train together in order to defeat the latest threat on Tokyo 3. Misato is not too happy with the company Asuka brought with her, in the form of Misato's former boyfriend, who is overseeing the transfer of the German built Eva 2 to Japan. Ryoji Kaji (Koichi Yamadera) is no stranger around NERV headquarters, also trying to get cuddly with Ritsuko Akagi (Yuriko Yamagichi). Meanwhile the First Child, Rei, is being kept in the background as Asuka tries to take charge of the Eva team. As preparations for their combined attack on the 7th Angel come closer to the deadline, the fighting spirit isn't the only thing being awakened in Shinji's world.

The introduction of Asuka in the previous disc has really sparked the humor level in the series a great deal. Her cocky attitude gets her into trouble, though she is able to come through in a crunch. Shiji's friends are all jealous again, now that he is living with not just one, but two babes they are drooling over. Shinji manages to inadvertantly catch glimpses of the girls in semi-undress, which is cause for great embarrassment, though they don't seem too phased by these indiscretions. The politics behind NERV begin to be exposed, and it's clear that not everyone agrees with their plans. Misato has to make some adjustments to her lifestyle as the heat comes down on her to make sure there are no more repeats of the defacing loss they had just encountered. The characters continue to get more interesting, humor is abundant, and we get a good showing of the mechanized Evas in every episode. This is an easy recommendation for anime fans.

Original Aspect Ratioyes

Image Transfer Review: Another nice looking disc. A bit of interlacing, a few instances of aliasing, but otherwise a pretty good presentation. Colors are strong without being overbearing, and any other defects look source-related, though at three episodes per disc I would hope the quality would be pretty high.

Audio Transfer Review: There is something just plain wrong with being able to watch anime in French or Spanish - English is bad enough! However, despite my feelings on the subject, ADV has chosen to include dubs in all three languages, in addition to the original Japanese track, which sounds fine with no distortions or other defects. Sampling the other tracks indicates a pretty consistent quality throughout.

Extras Review: The disc opens with a standard selection of previews, which are also accessable from the menu, though not individually. Farscape, Shadow Raiders, Orphen, Arc The Lad, Nadia, and the ADV preview mix.

ADV has added an additional chapter stop for the preview, which I prefer over having the end credits and preview combined. Like the last disc, the closing song is a different version than on earlier episodes.

A collection of character profiles are included as single screen overviews, with only limited spoiler potential once you've viewed the disc.

This disc came in a Scanavo that did not want to let go of the disc, which while not as good as an Amaray, is far better than the Protect Case that my disc 2 came in— it practically threw the disc at you when you opened the case. Once again, ADV has altered the spine art so it isn't consistent with the previous two discs in the series. Grrrr...!

Extras Grade: C-

Final Comments

Through viewing the first three discs in this series, Neon Genesis Evangelion rates as an easy recommendation: fun, engrossing and exciting. Though the complete series does represent a reasonable investment, the re-watchability factor is high, and the disc quality is very good. Not quite as wacky as Nadesico, nor as deep and involved as Gasaraki, Evangelion belongs in any serious anime collection.

Ronnie Wood 'still devoted' to girlfriend

Ronnie Wood

Ronnie Wood remains committed to girlfriend Ana Araujo despite recent speculation to the contrary, sources close to the star have said.

The Rolling Stone started dating Araujo in February, but the status of their relationship was recently called into question when he stepped out for a lunch date with burlesque dancer Melissa Hammond, also known as Fifi La Bomb.

However, according to the Daily Express today, Wood only considers Hammond as a friend and has not split from Araujo.

A friend told the newspaper: "Ronnie is still devoted to Ana. Melissa is just a mate. Ana is a big part of Ronnie's new way of life and he doesn't want to jeopardise that. She's the best thing that has happened to him for a long time and he relies on her hugely. He doesn't want to sacrifice that."

The insider added: "Ronnie has all kinds of exotic, unconventional friends but his priority is Ana these days."

Wood broke up with Russian bargirl Ekaterina Ivanova last December.

Justin Bieber wasn't spitting on fans, says rep

Justin Bieber did not spit on a group of fans last month, according to his representatives.

The Canadian singer made headlines last week after photos emerged of him spitting from the balcony of his Toronto hotel, as a group of fans apparently waited below.

Justin Bieber

After criticism of the star's behavior, his rep has told Us Weekly: "Justin didn't spit on anyone. No fans were below the balcony.

"In fact, earlier in the day, Justin bought his fans hot chocolate and played them some of his new music. Justin loves his fans."

The rep added: "At what point are we going to start demanding that journalists actually fact-check? And at what point does the media have to have some kind of standard or some kind of integrity?"

Bieber himself has not commented on the incident publicly. The performer, who was incidentally accused of spitting on a neighbor last month, is currently on the North American leg of his 'Believe' tour.

Dial H will receive a fill-in issue from guest artist David Lapham.

The Stray Bullets creator will join writer China Miéville on issue #6 of the second-wave New 52 title.

'Dial H' #6

© DC Comics

The comic revives the Dial H for Hero concept, with Nelson Jent as a down-on-his-luck man who discovers a mysterious telephone dial that can transform him into a superhero.

DC Comics described the issue on The Source as a "stand-alone story where Nelson is stuck inside his house after he dials up a politically incorrect hero and Manteau reveals some of her forbidden and dangerous guises in the Refusenik Dossier".

Lapham said: "Dial H is one of those offbeat comic concepts like The Creeper or Doom Patrol or Metal Men that every artist and comics lover digs and secretly wants to draw.

"It's a crazy trip into your imagination, and I can't wait to dig into China Miéville's offbeat and very funny script and do it justice."

Dial H #6 will be released on November 7.

Justin Timberlake has said that he is "humbled" by the response to The Social Network.

The singer and actor - who plays Sean Parker in the drama - told Hollyscoop that he is pleased but not surprised by the film's multiple Golden Globe nominations and that he is grateful to have been part of the experience.

"I am actually humbled by all of it. I think I'm just excited that people have really responded to the movie in that way. It's a great piece of work by David Fincher and [writer] Aaron Sorkin... I think all the other actors, their work speaks for them and they're great people," he said.

"I feel like, regardless of what comes out of the movie at the end of the winter, I feel I made some great friends that I really look up to even though I'm older than all of them which kind of depresses me. It's exciting to know you can be part of something and really make good friends from it."

Meat Loaf: 'I would love to be a mentor on The Voice'

Meat Loaf has said he'd love to join The Voice as a guest mentor.

The 'Bat Out of Hell' singer revealed in an interview with Spinner that he once turned down an offer to judge American Idol, but would love the chance to join coaches Blake Shelton, Cee Lo Green, Christina Aguilera and Adam Levine on The Voice.

Meat Loaf
The Voice S02E02 - The coaches perform 2 Prince songs

"Do you know they asked me about [American Idol] the second season? I turned them down," Meat Loaf admitted. "But I am very analytical, it's part of my problem, and it's part of my strength - I over-analyze."

The rocker added of his love for The Voice: "I think The Voice is a better show [than American Idol]. Man, I would love to be a mentor on that show. Let's put that out there right now to anyone reading this. I would love it.

"I would take it so seriously, would work so hard and would give my heart and soul to that gig if I had it. I pride myself on being able to work like that. I love who they have on there now but if they had room, I'd do it. In a minute."

The Voice's current season features a number of guest mentors including Robin Thicke, Kelly Clarkson, Jewel and Ne-Yo.

Shelton recently joked that he would love to kiss his fellow Voice coach Levine, saying: "All I have to say is, it's true - I have a man crush on Adam!"

The Voice airs Mondays at 8/7c on NBC.

Assange says Wikileaks desperate for money

Julian Assange, October 2011

Wikileaks has drawn a storm of criticism from governments (particularly the U.S. government) and corporations around the world for publishing classified information about the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, corporate malfeasance, and other sensitive topics—and, as a result, found itself cut off from its major sources of funding as institutions like MasterCard, Visa, PayPal, Western Union, and Bank of America refused to handle payments for the organization. Now, that financial “blockade” is taking its toll: Wikileaks has temporarily suspended publishing new information to work on bringing in money, and founder Julian Assange says the organization could shut down by the end of the year.

“These politicized companies believe they have the right to stop you voting with your wallet,” Wikileaks founder Julian Assange said in a video statement. “We have decided to throw all our efforts into fighting these corrupt financial institutions.”

Assange says WikiLeaks’ network is stronger than ever and has endured cyberattacks it believes are fueled by governments and corporations eager to suppress the thousands of “revelations” Wikileaks has ready to go. But operating Wikileaks takes effort and money: Wikileaks breaks out its expenses as $300,000 each for security and campaigns, $400,000 for productions, $500,000 each for for technical information, publications research, and staff salaries…and $1.2 million in legal expenses.

Many U.S.-based financial service companies—and tech firms like Amazon—stopped doing business with Wikileaks when it published some quarter million U.S. State Department diplomatic cables last year. According to Wikileaks, the move managed to cut off some 95 percent of its funding. Wikileaks has struggled to open up alternative methods of collecting donations through payment processors in Iceland and elsewhere, but has met with limited success. Wikileaks has been feeling the pressure of its reduced income: last month Assange railed against publisher Canongate over a book deal, noting that his financial situation prevented him from taking action against them.

Assange and Wikileaks still face legal pressure in Europe and the United States. The U.S. Justice Department has been working on a case against Assange and Wikileaks regarding the publication of diplomatic materials, and Assange is still facing possible extradition to Sweden to face sex crime allegations. A decision on his extradition is expected in a few weeks.

B4B Doctrine! Strong India will benefit Bhutan, says Modi

News Feed

Prime Minister Narendra Modi vowed to nurture bilateral relations with Bhutan which he described as ‘B4B - Bharat for Bhutan and Bhutan for Bharat’ as he held wide-ranging talks with King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuk and PM Tshering Tobgay.

"India is committed to good relations with its neighbours. Stability and development in India will help neighbours like Bhutan," Modi said.

Recalling India's historic ties with Bhutan, Modi said his government would work towards further strengthening the relations between the two neighbours.

Noting that terrorism divides and tourism unites, he said Bhutan has immense potential in the tourism sector.

Describing the Himalayas as a shared legacy of the two countries, he stressed on the need to develop the region.

I played there 3 days this week, and was never bothered by them. It's colder out now so they are quite lazy. Still would not suggest making out with the nest, but I walked by that spot several times this week with no issues.

Main Course

Sesame Chicken over Brown Rice

Recipe tested by Dispatch Staff
Makes 4 servings

The seasoning of soy sauce, sesame oil and honey make a delicious sauce for tender chicken. Serve steamed broccoli or snow peas on the side.

5 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
4 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons honey
1 1/4 pounds skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
Nonstick cooking spray
2 green onions, thinly sliced (white and green parts)
1 tablespoons grated peeled fresh ginger
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/4 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
3 tablespoons sugar
3 to 4 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon chili paste or sauce
Hot cooked brown rice
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Whisk 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 teaspoons sesame oil and honey in a bowl. Add the chicken Toss to coat. Let stand at room temperature 20 minutes.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Mist with cooking spray. Using a slotted spoon, remove chicken from marinade. Discard marinade. Working in batches, add chicken to skillet and cook until browned, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate. Wipe out skillet.

Spray skillet again with cooking spray. Set aside some of green onion tops aside for garnish. Add remaining onions to skillet with ginger and garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Whisk broth, sugar, cornstarch, vinegar, chili paste and remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce in a bowl. Add to skillet. Cook, stirring, until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes.

Ben Affleck on a casino winning streak

Ben Affleck, who is spending his dark nights in casinos

Ben Affleck, who was recently red-flagged at a Las Vegas casino for counting cards, has taken his game to Detroit, Radar Online said.

The actor, in the city filming Batman vs. Superman, has been frequenting the MotorCity Casino and Greektown Casino-Hotel, sources told the website. Affleck has “been playing blackjack in the high-roller room all by himself at the table,” one source said.

 “He only uses $500, $1,000 and $5,000 chips.” With such amounts at stake, the star is always under observation. “There’s a security guard who stands behind him to watch and protect him,” the source said.

 “But it’s not his own personal bodyguard; it’s the casino security.” Luck has been on his side. “He was actually up and winning money” during his time at MotorCity, the source said. “And he was good about tipping the dealer.”

A Gaza primer

Israel, Hamas long-time foes

By The Washington Post  •
View Slideshow Request to buy this photo
Adel Hana | Associated Press
Palestinians in Gaza City celebrate the cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas. Yesterday’s cease-fire ended eight days of the fiercest fighting in nearly four years.

WASHINGTON — This week’s violence between Israel and Gaza is three things: complicated, confusing and important. Here is some basic background on the questions that may have been nagging at you.

First, a disclaimer: History looms large in the Israel-Palestinian conflict. For every one incident, there are decades of Israeli and Palestinian histories that inform both sides’ interpretation of that incident and its meaning. For practical purposes, this list is limited to simple, surface-level explanations.

Q. What is the Gaza Strip?

A. The Gaza Strip is a small Palestinian territory, about twice the size of Washington, D.C., located along the Mediterranean coast between Egypt and Israel. Palestinians are ethnic Arab and majority Muslim. The strip is deeply impoverished, kept in isolation by the Israeli military and ruled by Hamas, an anti-Israeli group.

Q. How did it come about?

A. In 1948, the United Nations declared that the British territory known as Palestine would be divided into two independent countries: Israel and Palestine. Arab leaders rejected the declaration and invaded to maintain an independent Arab Palestine. They lost, and by the time fighting ended, Israel controlled even more of the land than the U.N. declaration had granted the new country. One of the areas still under Arab control was the Gaza Strip. Israel occupied the territory in 1967, after another failed invasion by Arab states, but withdrew its troops and settlers in 2005. Israel still maintains extremely tight restrictions on trade in and out of Gaza, which has a 40 percent unemployment rate. Gaza is not an independent country.

Q. What is Hamas, and why does its members hate Israel?

A. Hamas is an Islamist militant group based in Gaza, where it won a 2006 U.S.-backed election. The United States and other countries designate it as a terrorist group. It formed in 1987 as a “resistance” group, pledging to destroy Israel and replace it with an all-Palestinian state. It has since softened its demands to an independent Palestinian state along the 1967 borders (more on this later), but it still does not formally recognize Israel as a legitimate country and still commits violent acts against Israeli troops and civilians. It also provides important social services in Gaza.

Q. Who started the current fighting between Israel and Hamas?

A. The back-and-forth extends back decades (see above), so let’s start with this year. Hamas regularly fires unguided rockets into areas of southern Israel. Though they rarely kill Israelis, they terrorize the civilian neighborhoods. On Nov. 14, Israel launched an airstrike to kill a senior Hamas military commander, significantly accelerating Hamas rocket attacks into Israel. Firing from both sides took off from there. Some analysts fear a repeat of the 2008 fighting, which escalated into a full ground war.

Q. This happened before? Why is it repeating?

A. Operation Cast Lead (Israel’s name for it) culminated in a January 2009 Israeli ground invasion of Gaza, which resulted in 13 Israeli deaths and either 1,417 or 1,166 Palestinian deaths, depending on the source. Some analysts describe Israel’s strategy toward Hamas as “mowing the grass” without : finding a long-term solution, in that Israel would attack Gaza every few years to cut down its ability to terrorize Israelis. Hamas, for its part, does not seem to have changed strategies either.

Q. Why don’t Israel and Palestine just become independent countries?

A. Because they can’t agree where to draw the borders. Let’s go back to that 1967 war. Before it started, Israel controlled everything except Gaza and the West Bank, which were part of Egypt and Jordan, respectively. At the end of it, Israel occupied both territories, plus a small piece of Syrian land, the Golan Heights. Long-standing U.S. policy is for Israel and the territories now called Palestine to return to the borders from before the 1967 war. Palestinian groups also accept this. A big hurdle is Israeli settlers: Almost half a million Israelis have moved into parts of the West Bank. The U.S. peace plan also calls for “land swaps” between Israel and Palestine to keep a number of those settler communities within Israel’s borders.

Q. What is Iran’s role in all of this?

A. Though Iran does not border Israel or Gaza, and though its population is majority ethnic Persian rather than Arab (most Iranians also follow a different sect of Islam than do Palestinians), Iran helps to fund and arm Hamas, as well as other anti-Israeli groups. Depending on who you ask, Iran either helps Hamas because it is committed to Israel’s destruction, because it sees this as a way to project its influence in the region, or because it fears an Israeli or American attack and uses Hamas as a deterrent. One of the things that Iran gives Hamas is longer-range rockets called Fajr-5. The Iranian rockets can reach major Israeli cities, although because they are unguided, and because Israel has advanced missile-defense technology funded by the Obama administration, that threat is reduced.

Q. What about Egypt? Whose side is it on?

A. In a way, the Arab world’s most populous country is on both sides, and has been since striking a historic U.S.-brokered peace treaty with Israel in 1979 (the Camp David accords). Remember that Egypt shares a border with western Israel and Gaza. Egypt administers a single border crossing into Gaza, at Rafah. Since last year’s Egyptian revolution ousted the reliably pro-U.S. dictator Hosni Mubarak, much of the world has been watching to see how the populist, democratically elected, Islamist-leaning President Mohamed Morsi would handle Egypt’s traditional role mediating between Gaza and Israel, and whether he would show greater sympathy toward Hamas. So far, Morsi seems to be emphasizing solidarity with Gazans but, broadly, is pushing for peace.

Q. What’s going to happen?

A. No one is sure if the fighting will lead to a repeat of the 2009 ground war or will end with the current uneasy cease-fire. But many analysts say that the violence likely will not have brought either Israelis or Gazans any closer to peace. And they worry that both Israel and Gaza are following short-term policies detrimental to long-term progress. It’s not exactly status quo for Israel-Palestine, but it doesn’t look like a dramatic shift, either.

'Breaking Bad' contest winner arrested on drug charges

Associated Press  •

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Authorities say a Florida man who won a raffle to watch the series finale of AMC's Breaking Bad with the cast has been charged with running a drug distribution operation.

The Lee County Sheriff's Office reports that Ryan Lee Carroll sold synthetic marijuana and shipped it across the U.S. from his Fort Myers home with two other men. He was arrested on New Year's Eve.

Authorities seized more than $1 million in synthetic marijuana during the bust.

According to deputies, the suspects used a cement mixer to create the drugs. The drugs were shipped through the U.S. Postal Service.

Investigators also seized a souvenir Hazmat suit signed by Breaking Bad cast members. The TV show follows a former high school teacher who produces and sells meth with a previous student.

-   -   Hydronic Towel warmer install question (

bigbluedude 02-10-2010 08:05 PM

Hydronic Towel warmer install question
Greetings All,
I have a System 2000 with no extra zones available and want to put a towel warmer in my bathroom. I have done all the maintenance etc. on the system myself like flushing the entire system, new circulators, new auto vents, new heat exchangers, yearly cleanings etc. I feel very comfortable with cutting into the existing hot water lines etc. The towel warmer would go on the zone which is a hydroair heat exchanger for forced hot air to 1/2 the heating area in my home. (plans for this summer)
My question is how to install the lines, in parallel or serial connection with the existing hydroair heat exchanger? In parallel I may need to regulate the towel warmer which would then regulate the hydroair. In serial, I am not sure the towel warmer would see enough hot water to heat towels. The Bathroom currently has no heat but stays warm enough from being over the furnace room.
Thanks in advance.

beenthere 02-10-2010 11:56 PM

So your going to over heat 1/2 your house just to warm up your towels?

Towel warmer can't be in series with hydro coils.

bigbluedude 02-11-2010 12:10 PM

Towel warmer correction
I have my parallel and serial mixed up in my original post. I guess my question is can this be done without installing a new Zone just for the towel warmer? $$$ I purposefully did not put heat in the bathroom in anticipation of using the towel warmer to heat the room. If the warmer is installed in parallel will any hot water make it to the towel warmer or will it naturally bypass and go directly to the hydro air coils?

beenthere 02-11-2010 03:30 PM

Water will take the path of least resistance. So some will go through towel warmer, and some through hydro coil. Hydro coil is probably more restrictive. So you may not get enough water through coil to heat house right.

If your system is using zone valves. You can add a zone valve for towel warmer. And twin it to the hydro coils zone valve.

bigbluedude 02-13-2010 06:50 AM

Never gave you enough details, but getting closer
Thanks beenthere, I was going to let the towel warmer just piggy back of the thermostat in the house so when the house calls for heat the water would just run through the towel warmer. The bathroom is 7 X 9 so I not sure what heat output the towel warmer has, but is there anything like a bathroom that is too warm :no:? Good point on the coils being more restrictive and maybe not getting enough flow. The hydroaire is 3/4 inch pipe, maybe I could use 1/2 on the towel warmer to make more restrictive? Or just a ball valve that I could manually tweak once or twice on the coldest winter day on the towel warmer . Yes, I have zone valves on the system, but not sure what you mean by Twinning. When the house zone opens the towel warmer zone would open at the same time no choice on that in this setup. Is what your saying to make a completely independent loop for the towel warmer?

beenthere 02-13-2010 07:02 AM

Yes. You could either put a zone valve in for the bathroom that it only opens, but doesn't turn on the circ or boiler. It needs the main zone to be calling for the boiler and circ to run. Known as a slave zone. Draw back is that you would have to turn up the heat of the main area for the towel warmer to work.

Or, make it its own zone. So that it can work anytime you want to use it. Without having to heat the whole house(best way to do it).

And yes, you can have a bathroom that is TOO hot.

If you just tap off the line to the hydro coil. You would need to pipe it up as a mono flow.
You could do that on the return pipe from the hydro coil. But, you still need to heat the main area, in order for the towel warmer to work.

Since you have to open the system up no matter which way you do it. The zone valve makes the most sense. You could use either a thermostat to control it, or a timer if you use a zone valve.

nissan pick up truck help needed

94 nissan, 5 speed, v6. truck starts fine, runs good for about 15-20 minutes, then it starts to spit and sputter and finally stall out. All i have to do is pull the fuel line off after the fuel filter, which relieves pressure, then put it back together and I am fine for another 15-20 minutes. I changed the fuel filter but no help.

ANy ideas to what I should look for.

nissan pick up truck help needed

Buy a can of seafoam. Take off the big vaccume line to the break booster. Hold you thumb over the vaccume line and have someone start the truck. Have them hold the idle at about 2000 rpm. Remove your finger and put the vaccume line in the can of seafoam. It5 will make the truck run rough, and smoke like a steam engine. I mean it will smoke bad! Dont let it stall and keep it going til all the sea foam is gone. Put the vacumme line back on the booster and let the idle go normal. Let it run or drive it til the smoke stops. This will clean the valves and surface of the injectors. Maybe that might help.

nissan pick up truck help needed

I say, pull plugs out and smell them. I am suspicious, you have leaking injector/-s, and they foul plugs with gas.
Reason I think so is that relieving fuel pressure )less gas inside) fixes problem, then it builds up again.
Brake booster air doe not go through fuel injectors. It only cleans combustion chambers and valves. Matter of fact, on pre-cat cars, injecting water into that line does same effect. Or into throttle body. You'll kill cat with this though.

Melamine Re-Painting

Postby chris potts » Sun Aug 12, 2007 8:42 am

Once melamine has been painted using a proper melamine paint, can any other type of paint be successfully used on top or is it best to continue using a proprietarty melamine paint?
