Shannon Hyland-Tassava Reading Feb. 15 ? Monkeyreadblog

Shannon Hyland-Tassava will read from her new book The Essential Stay-at-Home Mom Manual: How to Have a Wondrous Life Amidst Kids and Chaos?Wednesday, Feb 15, 2012 at 7:30 pm. A year ago Shannon read from Torn: True Stories of Kids, Career and the Conflict of Modern Motherhood. Torn is an anthology of essays by women about motherhood. Now Shannon has published her own book and we are happy to have her read again.

The Northfield News recently published an article about Shannon and her book.

Here?s an excerpt:

Yet the job, as many know, is not glamorous nor is it a piece of cake. For many stay-at-home parents, finding a network of friends to share parenting ideas with, as Patterson did through Early Childhood Family Education, helps ease the trying times. One such friend she encountered was Shannon Tassava, a Northfield clinical psychologist and stay-at-home mom who recently took the sharing of advice to the next level. Tassava?s book, ?The Essential Stay-at-Home Mom Manual: How to Have a Wondrous Life Amidst Kids & Chaos? has recently been published by Booktrope Editions.

Hello all.

I am working on a septic Alarm project (I currently don't have an alarm).

I have become convinced that PVC conduit from the house to the septic pump tank is the best way to go. In that conduit, as I understand it, I want to run #12 stranded THHN. So for power to the pump the wires will be one black, one white, and one green. (The pump is 110/20 amp half horsepower)

Because I am thinking about keeping the alarm inside the basement, I will need to also run wires through the same conduit for the alarm float switch. What color and size wire should these be?

Finally, here is the hard question. From the main service panel to the point of penetration for the conduit is ~20 feet. What I would like to do is run #12/2 with ground romex. In the junction box at the point where the conduit penetrates the wall I would like to put a plug for the alarm.

So here is what would be in the junction box.

1-plug
splices going from romex to stranded THHN
2 wires passing through for the alarm float switch

Is any of this legal (VA, USA)?

Otherwise I will buy an external alarm and pump control panel. Run romex from main service panel to a junction box. Switch to stranded THHN for the run inside the pvc conduit which goes to the septic control panel at the septic pump chamber.

Thank you,
Fred

I agree, but if the float switch is low voltage make sure the wiring going to it is rated as high or higher than 120 volts.

As long as you use the same thwn rated wire you are using for the pump no problem running them in the same conduit, not matter what the voltage. It's the insulation rating of the wire that is important. Use any colour you wish except for green for the alarm.
No problem with the junction box either.

joed, let me make sure I get this one right. You can run mixed voltage in the same conduit as long as the wire has the same rating, to match the highest voltage/amps?

That is correct.
The lowest voltage wire has to have the same rating as the highest voltage wire.

That is correct. Also note that wire being underground must be THWN rated. It was stated as THHN in the original post. However most THHN is also rated THWN. Just make sure it is dual rated.

True, just using all 600 volt wiring is the easiest way but there seems to be some misunderstanding with the voltage ratings in the same conduit. First, bare wire has no voltage rating, it is the insulation that gives it a "voltage rating".

300.2 Limitations.
(C) Conductors of Different Systems.
(1) 600 Volts, Nominal, or Less. Conductors of ac and dc circuits, rated 600 volts, nominal, or less, shall be permitted to occupy the same equipment wiring enclosure, cable, or raceway. All conductors shall have an insulation rating equal to at least the maximum circuit voltage applied to any conductor within the enclosure, cable, or raceway.

So I stand by my original post in saying that the OP is code compliant by using wire of different voltage ratings as long as ALL wires are listed above the maximum voltage.

Yes absolutely...conduit is considered a wet location. Most THHN is also listed as THWN. I'm not sure you could still find THHN only.

California to borrow internally to raise cash (Reuters)

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) ? California Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill on Friday allowing the state government to borrow from internal funds to build up its cash, which the controller earlier this week said was quickly dwindling.

The legislation allows the state to tap up to $865 million, part of a plan crafted by Controller John Chiang, Treasurer Bill Lockyer and the finance department to address the cash shortage.

Chiang earlier this week warned the chairman and vice chairman of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee in a letter that the state would need to come up with more than $3 billion to avoid burning through its cash by March.

The controller said California need not resort to issuing IOUs, as it did during a cash crunch in 2009, or to delaying tax refunds.

Lawmakers quickly responded by approving the bill permitting internal borrowing. Other near-term measures urged by Chiang, Lockyer and the finance department include postponing some payments and external borrowing.

Lockyer's office is working on a plan for a private placement of revenue anticipation notes.

ZTE Optik tablet hits Sprint for $100 on February 5th, hopes EVDO is good enough

ZTE Optik
Sprint has officially taken the wraps off the ZTE Optik and, as expected, the 7-inch tablet will be landing for a measly $100 on contract. Of course, to hit that price point you'll have to make some sacrifices, like signing up for a two-year agreement and an appropriate data plan. Not to mention you'll have to settle for a 3G connection -- there's no WiMAX or LTE in sight. Underneath the hood is a respectable dual-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon and 1GB of RAM pushing Honeycomb to the 1280 x 800 screen. There's also the usual Bluetooth and GPS antennas on board, as well as dual cameras (5MP rear and 2MP front-facing), 16GB of storage and a MicroSD slot for adding more. If you're not keen on locking yourself into a two year contract for a CDMA-only device, you can pick up the Swype-sporting tab for $350 obligation-free on the same day -- February 5th. Check out the complete PR after the break.

Where to Find EFT Coaching | Article Marketing Register

It is pretty easy to find someone who is offering emotional freedom technique services. You will find EFT practitioners with varying levels of expertise. The founder of EFT, Gary Craig, offered a masters training course. The course is no longer offered but you can check out the graduates at EFT Coaching. The course was pretty intensive and included peer review, case studies, a requirement for a minimum size client base, a lengthy narrative exam, and an explanation of what the individual has done to further EFT in the world. If you are looking for EFT coaching, this is a good place to check out first. You will most probably be able to find an EFT practitioner locally, however many people do not find it a problem to use a practitioner in another part of the country. If you are familiar with Bob Doyle of Wealth Beyond Reason, you will know that he considers EFT to be a major tool in using the law of attraction.

Mint.com?s updated app brings better functionality for Android tablet users (Appolicious)

When it comes to apps that help you manage your money, Mint.com Personal Finance has been a popular fixture in the Android Market (as well as online and via iOS devices) for a few years now. Today, the folks at Intuit released a great update which makes the app optimized for Android Honeycomb tablets and increases its usefulness too.

It should be noted that the Mint.com app still lacks the full functionality of its mother site. If you want to edit entries or categories, you still need to log-in to your account at the Mint.com web site and do it from there. Hopefully, Intuit will add this capability in future updates.

Still, the app is very nice in some ways. If you don?t already have an account with Mint.com, the app lets you set one up right away. You?ll need to log-in with that Mint.com account before you can access any of the app?s features. Once you do, however, you?re greeted with an impressive overview of your current finances, and it?s clear that the large screen real estate on most Android tablets really benefits from this.

The design is fresh and inspired by its iOS iPad counterpart with a unified action bar at the top of the screen, smoother animations and a general look and feel that fits in nicely with tablets running Android Honeycomb or Ice Cream Sandwich. We found the app worked perfectly on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, however, when we launched it on the smaller Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, it defaulted to the smartphone look and feel instead, so we have to presume the device isn?t being recognized as a tablet, which is a tad disappointing.

Your spending by category is illustrated with a colorful pie-chart and things that need to be brought to your attention are clearly highlighted. Swiping the screen takes you to another section which breaks down your spending over time. If you?ve been trying to curb your expenses or cut down your costs, the bar graph here is a handy way of displaying this.

Delve deeper and you?ll discover your recent transactions broken down clearly, right down to a map on the right side of the screen which shows the exact location where you bought something. Once again, the large tablet screen means all this info is displayed more clearly than ever.

Mint.com is one of those apps that depends on how much time and effort the user is willing to put in. It?s easy to set up, but you do need to provide it with all kinds of personal financial information to truly make it shine. With tax season approaching rapidly and W2s being mailed out at a frenetic pace, Intuit chose a great time to extend the app?s functionality, and many Android tablet users should find it a convenient way to track spending and help them budget in this lean financial times.
