Pool Upgrades

We know that you are proud of your pool, but maybe it’s taking up a little too much of your time. In addition to our top-notch pool services, we can also help you automate several functions that can make your life easier, make your pool more comfortable, and do things that will impress your friends and neighbors. For example, with an Intellitouch automation system for your pool or spa, you can do everything from making sure your filtration system is working correctly and at peak efficiency with the Intelliflo pumps, to dazzling your friends with a light show like they’ve never seen before. With the Intellibrite color lights Swimming Colors feature, colors will actually appear to swim through the water. And you can control all these functions and more with your Apple or Android device, or even your personal computer.

If simplicity and ease of use are important to you when it comes to automation, we can also upgrade your pool with an Easytouch control system, which supports Ultratemp heat pump integration, Magicstream laminar, Intellichem controllers, and Intellibrite 5g pool and spa lights. You will always have your thumb on the pulse of your pool with the Easytouch system’s diagnostic screen that reports any failures of your pool’s equipment. And, like Intellitouch, Easytouch can also be controlled with your computer or mobile device.

Pool Repairs

Not all pumps, filters, cleaners, lighting, or salt systems are of the same quality. We offer some of the most high-quality brands in the industry at Grand Slam Pools, but chances are if you’ve owned a pool for any appreciable length of time, you’ve had something go wrong with it. While we strive to provide the maintenance services that will keep your pool equipment functioning for as long as possible, sometimes things break. Luckily, we have the certifications and knowledge to fix almost anything pool-related.

You may have a filter that just isn’t operating at optimal efficiency anymore, or maybe the chemicals have eaten away at the old tank – we can replace that old filter with a brand new Clean and Clear cartridge filter with a chemically resistant, fiberglass reinforced tank. Or maybe you have a salt system in place that isn’t keep your pool as sanitary as you’d like – we can install a Intellichlor salt chlorine generator, which uses common table salt to make all the chlorine your pool needs, so you get the sanitation of a chlorine pool without any drawbacks. Perhaps you’ve noticed that your pool pump has grown a little more wasteful in its old age than you’d prefer – we can install an ecologically friendly Intelliflo Variable Speed pump that will keep your energy costs down. Whatever your pool repair needs, we at Grand Slam Pools can solve the issue, and no issue is too small.

We cover the entire Lee County area on a weekly basis in the summer (and every other week in winter). We’re currently offering the following services:

Getting Into the Details

The house is dried in and mechanical work is starting

The bath exhaust fans were located for the most direct route out of the house. The design uses hard duct and a minimum number of elbows for the most efficient air flow.

This 190 cfm fan will be used to transfer conditioned air from the hallway minisplit to the two front bedrooms. The installers had to do some careful work to get the minisplit refrigerant lines through the walls to the exterior. The ERV will provide outside air. It will also help circulate conditioned air from the first floor minisplit to the back side of the house. The ventilation system was installed with hard duct except for where the duts tie into the top-mounted intake and exhaust ports. The ERV intake air flow measured out at a rate exceeding the minimum required for ASHRAE 62.2, LEED for Homes, and Energy Star. Happy to have that item checked off. The site-built hot water manifold will get hot water to all the fixtures quickly with minimal waste. The Zip sheathing is taped and windows are installed. HVAC refrigerant lines are run through PVC pipe angled down through the sheathing. The PVC conduits are taped to the Zip sheathing for a solid weather barrier, and will be sealed with foam before insulation for a compete air barrier.

Carl Seville and his wife are building themselves a new home in Decatur, Georgia. The first blog in this series was titled The Third Time’s the Charm. Links to all of the blogs in this series can be found in the “Related Articles” sidebar below.

The process of building a house reminds me every day how happy I am to be out of the construction business. I realize now that I wasn’t cut out for the daily stress of the construction industry — in part, I believe, because I care too much.

I wake up in the middle of the night obsessing about details and methods. I think and rethink minor decisions. And sometimes, I am too nice and forgiving of inferior workmanship.

I take responsibility for some of the problems we are having, mostly due to not making decisions early enough, or not thinking through all the details thoroughly. The biggest problems, however, have come from trade contractors and vendors not meeting my expectations. Material orders are incomplete, late, or just wrong. Carpenters seem uninterested in listening to what I want, instead simply doing what they always do: framing things fast and loose, and in some cases, just framing things wrong, including out of plumb and level, with doors and windows incorrectly sized or located.

Recent weeks have been spent coaxing carpenters back to the job to complete their work and correct mistakes — and thankfully, we are closing in on completion of that phase of the work.

Enough complaining — on to our progress

Now that the house is dried in, work on mechanical systems is underway. Plumbing rough-in is complete, and thankfully worked out mostly as planned.

I decided to install a home-run hot water supply system to minimize the wait for hot water and to reduce the amount of water wasted in the process. The plumbers installed a site-built hot water manifold with ½-inch insulated lines run to each fixture.

We were able to keep all the hot water runs to less than 30 feet through a combination of a centrally located water heater and careful placement of the PEX pipes. By minimizing run lengths as well as elbows in each line, I expect that we will have hot water to each fixture within 20 seconds, wasting less than a half gallon of water in the process. While this not optimum, and my friend Gary Klein would probably be very upset with me (since he likes to waste no more than a half a cup of water in his designs), I am happy with the results.

Gary suggested that I install an insulated circulation loop that ran right next to each fixture, supplied by a demand pump. I did consider this method. I have both used and recommended demand pumps over the years, but (as with many things in this house) I wanted to try something different. We will see how it works once the project is complete, but I have confidence we will be happy with the hot water system.

Ductless minisplits, exhaust fans, and an ERV

HVAC rough-in work is complete. One unexpected problem was the challenge of installing the refrigerant lines for the Mitsubishi ductless minisplits. Not wanting to have them snaking around the outside of the house, the installers drilled out studs to run the lines through the walls (our only option since there is no crawl space). Unfortunately, in the process of pulling the line sets through the walls, most of the insulation was torn off, and although it has been corrected, a sleeve under the slab for these lines would probably have simplified the installation.

I worked closely with the installers on the exhaust fan ducting, and they did an excellent job installing short runs of hard pipe for the Panasonic exhaust fans — something I rarely see in most homes I inspect and certify.

The Broan ERV is installed, and since it has a standard 110-volt plug, I was able to test the air flow rate before completion. I am happy to say that it exceeds the required minimum for ASHRAE 62.2, and while I probably won’t use it most of the time, the ERV helps the house comply with LEED and Energy Star requirements, as well as my local green building ordinance requirements.

Electrical work

Electrical work will begin shortly. Without adequate solar exposure, I am not able to install PV panels, so the installation is a pretty standard affair.

The house will be illuminated with mostly surface-mounted fixtures and a few recessed wall washers. I recently ran across a surface-mounted LED that has the look of a recessed light. The Lightolier SlimSurface LED fits in a standard depth 4-inch box with the look of a recessed downlight. The 2700 K temperature combined with a 90 CRI (Color Rendition Index) give it a light quality very close to incandescent at a very reasonable price. (For more information on the SlimSurface LED fixture, see these two GBA articles: Rethinking Recessed Lighting and Canned Lighting Conundrum.)

We are currently selecting pendants and sconces, most of which will likely be standard Edison-base fixtures into which we will install LED lamps. The selection of integrated LED fixtures is still limited, and those that are available are quite costly, so using standard fixtures is an easy decision.

Coming up next

Siding and exterior trim will commence shortly after the electrical work is complete. No exterior finishes will be installed until all of the mechanical penetrations — including wires, pipes, and ducts — are installed, weather-sealed, and air-sealed.

Following that, we will be installing a HomeSlicker vented rainscreen on all the walls, covered by Boral TruExterior siding and trim. The TruExterior is a good-looking product comprised of coal ash and recycled polymers. I haven’t yet used it but look forward to trying it out. It is similar in finish to mineral-fiber products; however, it is available in a much wider variety of sizes, including a 1×6 resawn siding, tongue-and-groove beadboard, as well as 1x, 5/4, and 2x dimensions up to 12 inches wide. With the exception of the lookouts at the soffits, we don’t expect to use any wood on the exterior of the house.

On the interior, the next steps are to complete the installation of the Term vapor and termite barrier on the slab, install the plywood subfloor, apply borate treatment to the framing, and install the air sealing details and insulation.

We are currently planning to do a blower-door test on the house after the windows and doors are air sealed to confirm the effectiveness of the Zip sheathing air seal. Following that, the Owens Corning Energy Complete sealant and blown-in fiberglass insulation will be installed in preparation for drywall.

It’s a long, slow process, much of the time more stressful than satisfying, but I am looking forward to the finished product.

    ductless mini-split with separate ducts
    I'm curious about the use of a fan and ductwork to transfer air from a room with the ductless minisplit to the bedrooms (photo 2). It looks like a clever idea. How do expect this set-up to compare with a ducted minisplit in terms of performance, installation cost, and energy usage? Will the fan run continuously or only when the minisplit is on?

  2. User avater
    Carl Seville | | #2

    Mini Splits
    Harry - I have not done this specific installation personally, but have spoken to others who have. My personal experience with ductless mini splits in my current, not consistently insulated home is that they will provide adequate conditioning in several rooms as long as the doors are open. I did not compare the cost of this installation with a ducted model as didn't have a good location to install a ducted system the way my house is designed. I expect that the performance will be as good or better than a ducted system. There may be a minor temperature differential at the far ends of the house, but in this new house, with continuous exterior insulation and well air sealed and insulated walls, I expect that the ductless units will condition the house well most of the time without the fan. I am setting it up so that the fan will only run when the mini split is on with an override switch to turn it off if we don't want it, which I expect will be most of the time when doors will be open. If we find that the fan does a good job of air distribution we may leave it on more often. In terms of energy use the fan uses only about 42 watts, so even if I run it 24/7/365 it will only cost about $40 per year, and it is very likely that it will only run a small fraction of that time. I guess I will find out soon how it works.

    Response to Carl Seville
    I'm glad you are conducting your experiment, but I feel duty-bound to inform GBA readers that your fan is unlikely to do much. (This topic comes up often on GBA.)

    During the winter, a forced-air furnace can heat a room because it is delivering 140°F air (or in some cases 160°F air). You are trying to use 72°F air to heat a room that is at 66°F -- and that is much more difficult than trying to heat a room with 140°F air or 160°F air. The volume of air you would need to move to raise the temperature of the adjacent room is huge -- so I don't thing that your 42-watt fan will do much.

    But you can let us know if it works.

  4. Charlie Sullivan | | #4

    Fan power consumption
    For readers considering a similar approach, a Panasonic Whispergreen fan will give you 150 CFM using 13 W, which is less than half the power consumption per watt.

    To put some numbers on Martin's scenario, 190 CFM at a 6 F temperature difference provides 1231 BTU/hour, or 615 in each bedroom. That's not a lot, but then again you don't need a lot. Of course if the temperature difference is only 2 F, the heat supplied goes down accordingly. It's more than the 300 BTU/h you'd get going through an R-2, 100 sq. ft. uninsulated partition wall at the same 6 F temperature difference.

    Good point Martin
    Martin - I appreciate your input but I think your northern bias may be showing a bit. While we do slightly more heating than cooling in the Metro Atlanta area, we don't do a whole lot of either, and for all but a few days a year, the delta T is pretty low, usually around 30-40 degrees maximum, and even less most of the time. With a tight well insulated (at least for the south) building envelope, and open interior doors, I am confident that the house will stay pretty comfortable without the fan running. Based on the experience with my current inconsistently insulated house (3/4 of the exterior walls have no insulation) one mini split keeps the place comfortable most of the time. In the summer, with a very shaded site, most space conditioning will be dehumidification which also won't need too much circulation to work effectively. I have faith.

    Response to Carl Seville
    I agree with everything you just wrote. Your house will be fine. All I'm saying is that the fan is unnecessary. You are unlikely to use it, and if circumstances arise that dictate a need for supplemental heat, the fan you have installed won't work.

  7. User avater
    Dana Dorsett | | #7

    What the lipstick-on-mirror math reads.
    The brutally dumb arithmetic:

    190cfm x 60m = 11,400 cubic feet per hour.

    At specific heat by volume of about 0.018 BTU per cubic foot per degree F and a 5F delta-T you're looking at:

    11,400 x 5F x .018= 1026 BTU/hr

    At a 3F difference it's about as much heat as 3 sleeping humans, or two standing humans are emitting.

    At a 35F temperature difference (65F indoors, 30F outdoors- roughly the 99% outside design temp) a better than code-max U0.30 window is losing ~10.5 BTU/hr per square foot. There's something on the order of a combined 100 square feet of window on front two bedrooms, so at your 99% outside design temp the benefit of the 190cfm fan might just cover just the window losses at a delta-T of 5F from the rest of the house when the doors are closed, but that's about the extent of it, unless the windows are triple panes.

  8. User avater
    Carl Seville | | #8

    Dumb Arithmetic
    Dana I appreciate your calculations but that 35 delta T is infrequent where I live most of the year. Based on my experience with my current house with bedroom doors open there is a minimal temperature variation between rooms. The fan is primarily to move air into rooms when doors are closed for infrequent guests. We will have an override switch to turn the fan off which will likely be most of the time. I never intended for the fan to provide adequate conditioned air to heat and cool those rooms. It is there to help out a little as needed. Not very scientific but I'm ok with that. My shoot from the hip style has served me well for 59 years.

  9. Jason D | | #9

    Response to Martin
    I find it enormously unlikely that a room that maintains a suitable temp just by opening the door would not maintain a similar temp with forced convection. How much natural convection is occurring at the open door? More than 50 cfm?

  10. John Clark | | #10

    Plumbing question.
    Did you opt for the site built manifold because it would allow the plumbers to attach insulated tubing whereas a typical PEX block manifold doesn't have sufficient space to individually wrap the lines?

  11. User avater GBA Editor
    Martin Holladay | | #11

    Response to Jason D
    The consensus on GBA seems to be that an open door is worth a 100 cfm fan, so you're right: Carl's 190 cfm fan (which is obviously more powerful than the typical bath fan) is likely to perform better than an open door.

    Lots of previous threads on this topic.

    Kevin Dickson: "An open door can swap over 100 cfm, and it doesn't even need a thermostat."

    Nick Welch: "I experimented with other R values, other CFM rates, other temperatures, and basically the theme is the same: the fan does help, but maybe not enough to be worth the hassle. The trend seems to be that you need around 100cfm to cut the temp differential roughly in half, and doing much better than that gets into ridiculous cfm numbers -- the cfm-to-temp-differential doesn't scale linearly."

    Dana Dorsett: "If you moved 200 cfm of fully conditioned air into the room the temps would only drop 2-3 degrees, but that's a bit of a breeze- with the wind-chill 200 cfm of 70F air feels like a cool draft- great in summer, not so much when it -10F outside and the air is dry. This is just the rough handle on it, but it's the right order of magnitude. You can fine tune it on the real window & wall areas. An open door is probably good for 100cfm of convection at a room-to-room temperature difference of 10F."

    Marc Rosenbaum: "How many cfm move through an open door? I think it’s different depending on where the door is. If it is up a floor, it has more air flow through it than if it is on the same level — the difference in height between the heated room and the door opening helps that movement of air and energy. ...I tend to think of an open door as being equal to a decent bath fan — it’s worth 50-100 cfm."

    Return air path
    If the fan is intended to provide air to the bedrooms when the doors are closed, what type of return air pathway did you provide?

  14. Jon R | | #14

    I calculate 300 CFM through
    I calculate 300 CFM through an interior door with a 5F temperature difference. For closed doors or tighter temperature control - consider a Chiltrix with fan coils. I would carefully avoid using any type of powered fan to accidentally pressurize or depressurize a room.

    Re: Dumb Arithmetic @ Carl
    I get that the 35F delta is the 99% or 99.5% condition, not the norm. My point was the at the benefit is so small (even for those few hours where it might be needed) that it's not worth the trouble & expense of installing it. The other 98-99% of the time it's benefits are really "in the noise".

    The only project I've been involved with where fan-moved air was "worth it" was on house that had about 12 square feet of U0.18 window on each of the doored off bedrooms. By using exhaust-register only in those rooms on the ducted HRV, it was then possible to guarantee (to the inspectors) the code-minimum 68F room temp @ the +5F 99% outside design temp with the doors closed without adding supplemental heat. In practical terms it didn't mean squat from a heating/cooling point of view, but since the HRV was already going in it was a means of satisfying the letter of the code without additional expense.

    Had there been an active supply of cooler than room temp tepid HRV output air into those rooms it would have failed. But by pulling in fully conditioned air from the adjacent spaces the dumb-math on the heating requirement worked without having to jack the temp in the open space with the mini-split to some torrid level.

    Great discussion
    Thanks for all the feedback, much preferred to having posts ignored. Regarding the return air path, I have jumper ducts from the bedrooms into the hallway (I believe they were installed after the photo was taken). I don't expect that we will use the fan much. I plan to experiment to find out when and if we need it. If it ends up being superfluous I'm ok with having wasted a little money on the experiment. It's reasonable insurance against having to retrofit something later. In the meantime I will continue building and posting.

    Ductless MiniSplits and Cold Rooms
    Our NZE passive house in northern NJ (PHIUS project 1054) is heated and cooled by two 12k BTU Mitsubishi ductless Mr. Slim HyperHeat minisplits, with one on the first floor and one on the second. The first floor has an open floor plan except for a guest bedroom. The bedroom stays at the temperature of the rest of the first floor except when its door is closed. Guests sometimes like the door closed for privacy, and in winter it tends to get a little cool.

    So we bought a Honeywell space heater (HZ-855) that has a very quiet fan, a thermostat and a few fan speeds. It cost around $50.

    It does the job.

Cheap Hydrogen Obtained By Using Ethanol and Sunlight

Not only one time had ethanol been tested as a reliable source of hydrogen. Now, a multi-national team of scientists from Spain, Scotland and New Zealand have devised a method to use ethanol and sunlight to extract hydrogen for use in fuel cells to generate electricity.

The process the researchers invented takes place at ambient temperature and is generally simpler and cheaper than that used in splitting water. Basically, a solid photocatalyst is placed in an ethanol solution and exposed to ultraviolet light, the most energetic part of the light spectrum. The solution also contains titanium dioxide, a semiconductor that’s already being used in organic solar cells as the substance in charge with generating electrons when hit by photons.

The electrons thus produced are captured by metallic gold nanoparticles, 2 to 12 nanometers in size, which in turn react with the ethanol molecules and produce hydrogen. The researchers found out that the size of these particles is not important, as it is in water-splitting approaches.

During their experiments, the researchers have used one kilogram of catalyst to generate up to 5 liters of hydrogen per minute. 9 kg of catalyst were able to generate enough hydrogen to make a fuel cell generate 3 kW of electricity, which is fairly the amount used in a regular household.

As good as it may sound, this method of producing hydrogen has its drawback. The trade-off is that ethanol also emits carbon dioxide and is only available in its clean form from quickly-growing biomass, while water is all around us. It is nevertheless precious as a scientific model to follow and could even produce electricity successfully in several applications such as electric fuel cell vehicles. In that case, the infrastructure carrying fossil fuels could easily carry ethanol and the transition to electric cars would be way easier.

Girls play hard against Lady Tigers

April 25, 2018

Star photo by David Martin

Lady Wolves goalie Holly Hunt makes a save against a Rock Springs player Saturday morning while Zoe Turner approaches to support Hunt.

Despite playing one of their best games of the season Saturday, the Green River Lady Wolves soccer team will have to add two more in the loss column.

On Saturday, the Lady Wolves took on the Rock Springs Lady Tigers at home and lost 3-0.

"Rock Springs is a tough team," head coach Tracy Wyant said. "They have strength throughout."

One RS player the Lady Wolves had to keep a track of all the time was Alyssa Bedard, who is currently second in the state for scoring in the 4A division. Wyant said she had Zoe Turner cover Bedard and that worked pretty well.

"With Alyssa, anytime she gets away fr...

Seminar examines concussions in sports

tackleEven at the highest levels of professional sport, concussion knowledge was limited even as recently as a decade ago, said a retired NFL quarterback at a special Greenwich presentation on the issue, which has received intense scrutiny in recent months.

At a forum on concussions in youth sport in town last week, Tim Hasselbeck, a quarterback with several teams including the New York Giants and now an analyst with ESPN, said it was only later in his career, following a 2004 pre-season game, that he knew what a concussion was.

“I was 28 years old the very first time I was diagnosed with a concussion. I was diagnosed with a concussion after a preseason game,” he said. “The first thing I thought was: That’s a concussion? If that is a concussion then I have had a bunch of them. I just thought I was tired after a game or dehydrated and that’s why I was nauseous.”

Mr. Hasselbeck spoke at the Youth Sports Concussion Awareness and Prevention seminar on Tuesday, Nov. 19. About 120 people attended the event at the Greenwich Library’s Cole Auditorium. The ONS Foundation and NFL Alumni Connecticut Chapter presented the event and it was sponsored by the Greenwich branch of Wells Fargo Advisors.

Mr. Hasselbeck was joined on the panel by Paul Sethi, an orthopedic surgeon with Orthopedic and Neurosurgery Specialists in Greenwich, Patricia McDonough Ryan, a practicing pediatric neuropsychologist, Mark Camel, a neurosurgeon who specializes in spine surgery and section head of neurosurgery at Greenwich Hospital, and Scott Thurlow, president of the NFL Alumni Association Connecticut Chapter.

Also in the audience was Russell Warren, team doctor for the New York Giants. He said reporting of concussions has increased as more players, parents and team officials took the issue seriously.

“I think one of the good things the NFL has done is zero tolerance,” Dr. Warren said.

That policy was driven by concussions leaping to the forefront of sports consciousness as many former athletes, particularly retired NFL players, talk about the health issues they deal with because of the repeated concussions they suffered during their careers.

Mr. Hasselbeck agreed with Dr. Warren on improvements made in concussion awareness in the pro ranks. Hasselbeck said that has led to changes in the way football, the sport he coaches, is being taught, especially in the youth ranks. He said coaches are teaching their athletes to tackle differently to protect both their players and opposing players.

Sometimes it takes a while for football players to learn, and Mr. Hasselbeck said sometimes that leads to a coach making a tough decision of sitting a player down, he said.

“We can coach these kids, but not all of them take direction the same way,” he said. “It’s going to take the person who is coaching saying, ‘I know you are my best player but until you can do it the right way we can’t put you out there,’” he said.

One parent who attended the event said she took away information on concussion symptoms and a greater appreciation of work being done on concussion awareness. Renee Murphy, 45, from Old Greenwich has two children, a daughter who is a high school diver and a son in seventh grade who plays multiple sports. She said her family has escaped any concussions.

“Luckily, we have been fine, we have had no head injuries,” she said. “To me it is knowing about the symptoms, to know in the future what to look out for. I definitely feel more aware.”

Patricia McDonough Ryan, a doctor, said that it was important that proper post-concussion care be done by the athletes, especially younger ones, who may find it difficult to avoid stimuli like playing video games.

“Initially after a concussion, it’s really important to pull back,” she said. “You want to pull back on stimulation, you want to pull back on activities to allow the brain to heal.”

She said that in the initial days after a concussion it’s vital that the patient relax in a low-stimulation environment. That means no television, computers and iPhones.

“The first couple of days you should really reduce stimulation,” she said. “After that, depending on symptoms, you want to meet the child where they are at.”

Those symptoms include headaches, sensitivity to light and movement and inability to focus on tasks such as reading.

If the child still has symptoms but is becoming restless at the enforced idleness while healing, Dr. McDonough Ryan said, parents have to look at ways to keep their child occupied while at the same time allowing the brain to heal.

“I talk to parents and say, Let’s be creative here. Let’s get some books on tape, let’s let them listen to stories, why don’t you read aloud to them, let’s turn on a show and have them close their eyes and listen to it and then experiment when they are starting to get a little bit better.”

While the data reveals that children who have had concussions are at a higher risk of having another concussion, Dr. Camel said that, generally, parents shouldn’t fear long-term effects of a concussion.

“The anxiety that I see in an office setting with parents is, ‘Oh my gosh, there goes Harvard,’ and that couldn’t be further from the truth,” Dr. Camel said.

“To the best of our knowledge, for young children who have had a concussion or two there is no reason to believe there are long-term cognitive effects moving forward. There is no evidence to support that.”

He did mention that children who have suffered a concussion are on average three times more likely to suffer a concussion compared to those who haven’t had one.

“Once you have had one concussion you are at significantly higher risk of having another concussion. We are not sure why that is,” he said.

While the majority of youths suffering a concussion bounce back fairly quickly, usually within three weeks, Dr. McDonough Ryan said that a minority of sufferers do have a longer period of recovery.

“There are really kids out there who it takes longer. We don’t know why it takes longer, but in 10% to 20% it can take months.”

She also noted that female athletes suffer higher rates of concussions than their male counterparts. Dr. McDonough Ryan said that was due to males having greater strength in the neck to support the head better.

Privacy Policy

In an effort to protect our clients' and site visitors privacy and rights, Web Services has established a Privacy Policy which explains what information we gather on visitors and what we do with information that we gather.

This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which Web Services collects, uses, maintains and discloses information collected from users of this Web site (each, a "User").

Users' privacy is very important to Web Services. We are committed to safeguarding the information Users entrust to Web Services.

The Information We Collect Web Services collects personally identifiable information from Users through online forms for ordering products and services. We may also collect information about how Users use our Web site, for example, by tracking the number of unique views received by the pages of the Web site or the domains from which Users originate. We use "cookies" to track how Users use our Web site.

How We Use Information Web Services may use personally identifiable information collected through our Web site to contact Users regarding products and services offered by Web Services and its trusted affiliates, independent contractors and business partners, and otherwise to enhance Users' experience with Web Services and such affiliates, independent contractors and business partners. At no time will Web Services's database of users ever be sold to any entity for the purpose of marketing or mailing lists. Personal information will not be sold or otherwise transferred to our business partners without your prior consent, except that we will disclose the information we collect to third parties when, in our good faith judgment, we are obligated to do so under applicable laws.

This Web site takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the Web site, their information is protected both online and off-line.

We use SSL encryption on our application and signup forms. While on a secure page, such as our application page, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when users are just ‘surfing'.

While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices and data centers. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, all employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable information are in a secure environment.

Credit card information is NOT stored on this website or it's database. All credit card information is handled and stored by our 3rd party credit card processing vendors.

What You'll Get

In the past, photo prints were done with a gigantic Polaroid, but they never developed properly because nobody could shake the massive canvases. Harness the power of the digital age with today's deal: for $39, you get one photo print reproduced on a 16"x20"x1.5" gallery-wrapped canvas from Picture It On Canvas (a $124.95 value), an online company based in California. The value of this Groupon includes shipping, handling, and tax.

With a quick, electron-enabled visit to Picture It On Canvas's product descriptions and a photon-carried look at its how-to template, customers can dive into the world of art, interior décor, and science simultaneously. Select a prize photo (digital or analog) from your archives and then use the online order form to begin your photomorphosis.

Picture It On Canvas's 16"x20" canvases are made of archival-quality material, which is thicker, more durable, and less likely to get stuffed into a roommate's back pocket and creased than the original photo-paper medium. Its thick-bar gallery wrap caresses the 1.5-inch thick edges of your piece with an attractive canvasy embrace that's suitable for hanging without a frame. Consult the FAQs for more information.

Alcatel doesn’t seem to surprise anyone with its phones and it’s maybe even getting ready to retire from the mobile business. As proof, we’re looking at the OT-IS650 handset, in the image below, a new device designed by TCL Communication Technology from China.

This is a candybar phone with an accelerometer, that allows the user to control the device by shaking it, for example, in order to switch from one app to another. On the specs list of the OT-IS650 there’s also a 1.3 megapixel camera, FM radio, Bluetooth and some sport apps like a pedometer.

Alcatel OT-I650 will hit Russia first in two colours, black and orange for about $120.

The JFK Islanders were two outs away from elimination after trailing 5-4 in the top of the 7th inning. Instead of a Cougars championships celebration, the Islanders would end the game on a 3-1 run to defeat the Cougars 7-6 Wednesday evening at the Okkodo Field to force ‘IF’ game this Saturday at 10 am.

Islander Pillar George had the weight of her team on her back as she stepped up to bat with one two away, trailing 5-4. George hit a ball deep left as Academy Cougar outfielder Rhia Pangindian quickly got under the ball, waiting for what should have been a rally stunting out. Instead, the sure-handed outfielder let the ball slip out of her glove allowing George to sprint to second base, igniting the Islander sideline.

“I was so scared when I saw the ball flying, I really thought it was going to be an out. All I was thinking was how bad I let my team down. But when the ball dropped, my legs sort of moved on its own as I ran,” said George on the big play.

Then, teammate Narissa Blaz smacked a single on the next at bat and managed to beat the ball to the first bag. The Cougars attention was directed at first which allowed George to trot safely home from second to knot the game at five runs each.

The next action came from an RBI double hit by Vianka Leon Guerrero, allowing Narissa Blaz and Olivia Iriarte to take the leading runs. The score was now 7-5, all that was left in the game was to stop the Cougars offense from taking the lead.

“Everything escalated, I was so nervous,” said Leon Guerrero. “We just needed to get on base and score.”

The Cougars tried to answer the JFK rally in the bottom of the 7th as slugger Juliana Nelson managed to get to second base off an Islander error. Nelson was then brought in by teammate Ashley Mendiola, but Mendiola was tagged out at third base trying to advance after an infield error from JFK.

George earned a strikeout on the final JFK out, but the team didn’t realize that they had won the game as they got off the field preparing for another inning.

Wendy’s Players of the Game Pillar George and Viannka Leon Guerrero

During the first inning, the Islanders didn’t reach base at all, after being shown no mercy from Ashley Mendiola and her Cougar Defense.

The bottom of the first brought the crowd the entertainment of a single run. This opening run was hit by Pitcher Ashley Mendiola, an RBI single, which let first on the line-up Kiana Rivera score, making the score 1-0, Cougars taking an early stand.

The Islanders tied up the game in the top of the second inning. This score was contributed by Vianka Leon Guerrero, which was an RBI single, giving the clear to runner Narissa Blaz. The score was now tied at one.

In the bottom of the second, two Cougar Runs were scored. One of these runs came in when Isabella Muna stole home. The other one came along when Doriaun Calvo hit an RBI single. The score was 3-1 at the end of the second inning.

The Islanders continued their fight in the beginning of the third inning, after scoring another lone run. This run was added when Pillar George hit a sacrifice fly for Isabel Itliong-Cruz. This made the score 3-2.

The Islander defense shut down the Cougars offense while their offense did some catching up in the top of the fourth. JFK scored two runs in the top of the fourth inning, Both of these runs came from RBIs, one of which was an RBI double, allowing two runners to take home. The other was an RBI single, allowing Vianka Leon Guerrero to score. The Islanders took the game 4-3.

The Cougars scored two more runs in the bottom of the fifth inning, both of which came from an RBI double, slugged by Ashley Mendiola. The Cougars took back control of the game, 5-4.

The only action in the whole sixth inning was a dog crossing the outfield, and a single hit by Erynn Blaz.

Then came the rally of the Islanders. Pillar George, JFK pitcher, hit a single. This was followed by an RBI single hit by Narissa Blaz, tying up the game at five.

The Cougars managed to score a last run in their last opportunity, this came in from an RBI hit by Mendiola.

The winner takes all Saturday morning at 10 am at the Okkodo Field.

Five Tips for Planning a Group Beach Vacation

You’ve just left an exhilarating dinner party and all of these friends decided it’s time to take a vacation together. All of them. Or your family of grandparents, siblings, nieces and nephews all want to take a group trip. Or maybe your daughter’s volleyball team wants to turn a tournament into a team vacation.

With the proper planning, all of these situations can be fun and memorable. To help you plan a successful trip, we’ve listed our top five tips for planning a group vacation in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.

  1. Determine the budget. The “B” word is no fun, but it needs to be the first stop on your itinerary. With a wide range of people coming along, it’s possible not everyone has the same budget. Discuss budget constraints and expectations up front and plan accordingly.
  2. Don’t force everyone into one itinerary. While you’ll likely plan a few group activities, don’t expect everyone to do every single activity together. Twenty-four/seven togetherness can quickly turn the tides on a great vacation. Discuss ideas and pricing for group activities and meals at Gulf Shores and Orange Beach restaurants prior to making reservations.
  3. Gulf Coast group lodging optionsConsider your lodging options. A Gulf Shores beach house can be a budget saver if your group is happy to stay in the same location. You may also decide to share several Orange Beach condos. However, if everyone is keen on having their own space, a beach hotel is a good option. Many Gulf Shores and Orange Beach hotels offer a free continental breakfast, which is also a great budget saver. For an exceptionally large group requiring numerous individual reservations, check with the property management company about group rates and discounts.
  4. Talk about a meal plan. Some of your group may want to eat in for several meals throughout your vacation. Discuss having a dinner schedule for your group, with rotating designees for cooking and cleanup. With the great selection of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach restaurants dotting the island, no doubt you’ll want to coordinate a few lunches or dinners out. Call ahead to see if the restaurants your group has chosen accepts reservations for large parties.
  5. Order a vacation guide and tune in to other vacation-planning resources, including the VisitALBeaches Instagram, Facebook and Twitter pages. Interact with fellow fans, as well as the destination, to get recommendations on activities, restaurants and lodging. You can also subscribe to the monthly eTidings newsletter.

At the top of the list, it’s important to manage expectations and go with the flow. A group vacation on Alabama’s beaches can yield good times and great memories.

The 10th round of the 2018 FIA Formula One World Championship began with practice Friday at Silverstone Circuit as teams prepared for the British Grand Prix Sunday. Two 90-minute sessions – FP1 and FP2 – on the 5.891-kilometer (3.66-mile), 18-turn track were run under sunny and warm conditions.

Haas F1 Team drivers Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen endured a difficult FP1, Grosjean more so than Magnussen.

With approximately 30 minutes remaining in the opening session, Grosjean spun off the incredibly quick Abbey Curve in turn one, shooting across the gravel trap before nosing hard into the barrier. Grosjean emerged unscathed, but the same could not be said for his Haas VF-18. There was structural damage to his chassis, which meant the team was forced to build a backup chassis, which kept Grosjean out of FP2. Despite the crash, Grosjean proved quick, even with only 12 laps of on-track running. Riding on Pirelli P Zero Yellow soft tires, he notched the seventh-fastest time with a lap of 1:29.352 on his penultimate tour, a best-of-the-rest mark behind the big three of Mercedes, Scuderia Ferrari and Red Bull.

Magnussen ran 20 laps in FP1 and ended the session as the 14th-fastest driver with a 1:30.065 secured on his 13th lap. With two virtual safety car periods – one for Grosjean’s spin and another in the final 10 minutes for when Max Verstappen had to park his Red Bull on the frontstraight – Magnussen was unable to get the high-fuel run he and the team wanted while running on a used set of Yellow softs.

Leading the way in FP1 was Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton, whose fast lap of 1:27.487 was .367 of a second better than the next quickest driver Valtteri Bottas, his teammate at Mercedes.

With Magnussen carrying the flag for Haas F1 Team in FP2, he set the 12th-quickest time with a lap of 1:29.617, which was .448 of a second better than his best lap in FP1. His quick time came on the 12th of his 33 laps with Yellow softs bolted onto his Haas VF-18.

Scuderia Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel pipped Hamilton for the top spot in FP2. His fast lap of 1:27.552 was .187 of a second better than Hamilton. The two are locked in a tight championship battle, with Vettel leading Hamilton by a single point.

The Silverstone track record of 1:26.600, set last year by Hamilton in the final round of qualifying, remained intact.

Between the two sessions, Haas F1 Team ran a total of 65 laps – 53 by Magnussen 12 by Grosjean.

“We’re not pleased to miss FP2, but there’s been some good work done on Kevin’s car. I was following the whole afternoon session. Obviously, we’re going to try and squeeze as much out of FP3 as we can. The car was fast this morning, so I think we should be alright. Hopefully, we can build up nicely tomorrow, and then do some fine tuning for qualifying when the track temperature gets really high. That’s going to be the biggest challenge for us, as we haven’t run those high track temperatures. Kevin was doing some good runs. I’ve just been looking at what he was doing out there, and trying to take that on-board for ourselves for our side of the garage.”

“The heat’s been the same for everyone, but it’s something that’s making the tire management a bit trickier. Getting them to work – it’s always the main thing. The tires, for all the teams, can be difficult to manage, but that’s the focus. I think tomorrow we could be anywhere from seventh to 13th or something like that. It’s very close. You need to really hook it up to get in front of that midfield, but I think it’s all open. We need to go through the data a bit more to learn about today because we didn’t find many answers in the practice itself. We’ll go through everything and see if we can find some answers.”

“Romain switched off his DRS a little bit too late on his second fast lap and he lost grip in the rear, because he lost downforce, basically, and he spun out and hit the wall. We had to change the chassis because there is some damage, and it’s easier to change the chassis than it is to try and fix it. The good thing is that Romain was fast and we know what happened to Kevin, so we know he can be faster too. So, I’m cautiously optimistic for tomorrow. Missing one car in FP2 didn’t help us, but we’ve been in difficult positions before and gotten out of them. All in all, the car has shown good potential.”

Drivers have one more practice session on Saturday (11:00-12:00 local time) before qualifying starts at 14:00. Qualifying consists of three rounds, with the 15 fastest drivers from Q1 moving on to Q2. Then, the 10 fastest drivers from Q2 advance to Q3 where they’ll battle for the pole.

Market + Constituency Surveys

Market & Constituency Surveys For Private Schools & Non-Profits

We Take the "Guesswork" Out of What Students and Parents Find Beneficial or Lacking in Your School by Using Our Survey

While the well being of a private school is ultimately the responsibility of the Board of Governors, there are a variety of stakeholder groups who are interested in and share in the day-to-day well-being of your school, including: parents, alumni/ae, staff, faculty, and community members who understand the school's educational and economic importance.

We find that families are more willing to share their perceptions more openly to a third-party than someone at your school. A school's view of itself and how it is doing in serving its community can be very different from how the marketplace views the school. HEG’s surveys can offer critical insight into what your constituency sees as your school’s strengths, areas for improvement, and priorities for your school, allowing you greater understanding of your market's needs and wants.

Types Of Surveys

We customize our surveys to reveal what you need to know. Provided below is an overview of our survey options.

You can use it as an Exit Survey to determine reasons a student/family decided to leave your school prior to graduation so you can identify trends and concerns, and address them.

2). Alumni/ae Survey: Gather feedback from your graduates on the education and opportunities provided by your school, and the perceived value versus tuition cost. This is invaluable for your fund raising campaigns.

3). Faculty/Administration Survey: Employee morale has enormous influence on your school’s working climate and ultimately the educational quality your programs. The survey examines your staff's current level of satisfaction with their compensation and benefits package.

4). Board of Governors Survey: Your trustees are provided a confidential Online Board Self-Assessment Survey that analyzes critical governance issues. The in-depth survey-questionnaire identifies the strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threats to the boards’ performance. The survey assesses and fine tunes your Board’s performance by identifying critical issues hindering performance. You receive an exhaustive 360° online Board Performance Self-Assessment Survey based on years of research that assesses your board’s performance versus established pillars of exceptional boards. You receive a profile of your board’s performance based on candid, confidential responses to the survey, which in turn provides guidance in fine-tuning the board’s role and performance. This will help your board function better and contribute to your organization’s improved performance and its mission. Allow board members to candidly discuss and reach consensus on important issues surrounding governance and lay the groundwork for improvement in board performance. You receive a “Summative Board Performance Report,” providing a comprehensive overview of the board’s survey results.

5). Head Of School Evaluation Survey: Effective Boards recognize that they need to evaluate the Head of School on annually. This confidential survey lets board members evaluate the overall effectiveness of the Head of School in meeting his or her annual goals, and in performance of day-to-day work such as program management, fund raising, and Board-Head relations. The Head of School Assessment Survey evaluates a Head’s performance against twelve key competencies. The approach utilizes a 360 degree process to rate the performance by people who know something about the Head and their work. The Head completes their own self-assessment that is compared against feedback from the Board and colleagues, including direct reports, administration, staff, parents, or other stakeholders, in fact anybody whose opinion you seek and who is familiar with the Head’s work can be included in the feedback process. This multi-source approach can provide real insight into how different groups perceived the level of performance for the Head. The final report provides a statistical breakdown of the Head’s performance from their own perceptions to those around them. The 360 feedback report is in straightforward, easy to understand sections.

Our objective, third-party approach ensures that you get the highest response rate possible for your survey since respondent anonymity is ensured. All of the surveys are completed online to gather the most comprehensive, real-time data.
