Do it yourself: AC recharge and measuring kits

You can recharge your failing AC yourself with the help of an AC recharge and measuring kit. These are sold at most local auto part shops, these kits include a pressurized refrigerant (most often known as Freon) and a pressure gauge that is designed to help you monitor how much Freon is in the system. The kit will also include a detailed instruction manual with instructions that will walk you through the process, step-by-step.
If it’s your first time to recharge the AC on your own, ask your local auto parts store to direct you to an all-in-one kit. These kits feature a simpler design and consist of a can of Freon and a pressure gauge all in one. The all-in-one kits are created for the consumer who has little or no previous experience with an AC.

A professional perspective

While an AC recharge and measuring kit is a valuable and convenient resource, this do-it-yourself tool can be expensive and many varieties are intended for professional use only. If you don’t have any experience servicing your car or feel unfamiliar with auto parts in general, ask a professional for help to ensure properly performed maintenance and repair to your AC.
The biggest concern we have is why you might need more Freon in the first place! What caused it to leak? We have cars that are 12 years old that have great air conditioners that have never been charged and work like new! Yours should too! If your car is not getting cold you need a check up to determine the cause so you aren’t wasting money on things you don’t need.

With the help of Dr. Michael Lynn from Cornell’s Hospitality School , the Freakonomics guys determined that not only is tipping an uncomfortable practice that lends itself to uncomfortable social interactions, false incentives, and even discrimination. In the end, they actually concluded that tipping should be banned. There were all sorts of interesting factoids–religious people tip less than those that do not identify as religious, slender blonde women get tipped higher than other females, touching a customer on the shoulder leads to higher tips. Unfortunately, white people are generally tipped more than people of other races, and since tips often make up the bulk of a server’s earnings, this is arguably “a violation of employment discrimination law in the United States.“

The day after hearing this podcast, I came across a few news stories about Manhattan’s Sushi Yasuda, which recently eliminated all tipping and instead made prices reflective of service. The bill states, ““Following the custom in Japan, Sushi Yasuda’s service staff are fully compensated by their salary. Therefore gratuities are not accepted. Thank you.”  This is not the first restaurant in the U.S. to try this–others in San Francisco, Austin, and NYC have also implemented the practice (or added a standard gratuity to all bills), but it has yet to really take off.

I hope it does. It does take a lot of the guesswork (and math!) out of settling your bill at the end of a meal, and as a consumer you have more assurance that  the profits from your meal will be equitably shared between the many people–servers, cooks, runners, hosts, and bartenders–that make your meal possible.

Maame received the sacraments of Baptism and Eucharist for the first time with the entire student body present.  She is originally from the country of Ghana and Sister Barbara Ann has been her teacher for the past two years.

Sister Barbara sponsored Maame as her godmother. Her father is in Kenya on business but her mother was present and her brother will be attending ICS next year.

Sister Barbara Ann said, “Who knows? This could be a vocation in the making. Maame has been an example to all, exemplifying what a good Christian should be.”

For many, Christ’s call to give more than what is asked for is a stumbling block. For who would want to turn the other cheek when one already feels so insulted and offended have been struck on the right cheek? Or, who would give even his cloak if he has already given his coat, specially in a world grown cold through selfishness and indifference? But then, don’t many companies today teach their employees about going the extra mile to delight their customers? There are more and more people doing serious philanthropy and there are banks willing to lend even to credit unworthy but needy borrowers.

A generous spirit will solve many of the world’s ills. Such a spirit is born and nurtured only in an environment of love. I will always choose to be a loving person so that I can give without counting the cost.

Jesus said to the crowds, “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, Do not resist an evildoer. But if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other also; and if anyone wants to sue you and take your coat, give your cloak as well; and if anyone forces you to go one mile, go also the second mile. Give to everyone who begs from you, and do not refuse anyone who wants to borrow from you.”
Matthew 5:38-42

From the True Nature Education blog:

The National Society of Leadership and Success students arrived on Friday at the Orquideas Inn, ready to jump into Costa Rica and give it all they’ve got! Here are just some initial thoughts and reflection from two of our student leaders, Philip and Nina, as they settled into their journey:

A group of individuals form a community from all walks of life, areas of the country, and educational majors. One of the first things that occurred was the introduction. Many thoughtful statements were made, one in particular stands out. Olga Sanchez, our tour guide stated during her introduction that “giving is receiving, teaching is learning.” This speaks to the fact that we all have the power and ability to experience two things at the same time, duality at its greatest. We are looking forward to not only to receive during this trip, but also to give.
– Philip Lee, Medgar Evers College, NY

Having hardly any idea of what this trip was going to be like made it a really exciting and scary decision to make. All of us have been completely blown away by what we have encountered already so far! The amazing nature surrounding us everywhere we go is something that actually shocks me. My favorite thing so far is how the animals, insects, and plants are such a huge part of this country. This makes any newcomer seriously rethink their place in life and be more careful about where they step and what they touch because we are all a part of a big, giant circle of life!

– Nina Mozo, Onondaga Community College, NY

I cannot read Ecclesiastes 3 without that Byrd’s song from the 60’s starting up in my head. “To everything, turn, turn, turn, there is a season, turn, turn, turn, and a time for every purpose, under Heaven….”  There is so much truth to this passage that if we were to step back from whatever life season in which we currently live, we just might find that everything is temporary. If you love your place in the world right now, enjoy it to the fullest because it won’t last. Likewise, if you are going through some of the hardest times in your life, hang in there, because that too, will come to an end.

By the time King Solomon wrote this book, he was nearing the end of his life and looked back on all his accomplishments, which were many, as vain, meaningless, worthless. After living through multiple seasons of life, the last thing any of us want to feel is that everything we did in life was useless. Whatever season in life we are currently experiencing, we want to know that what we are doing is significant, but how do we do that? What really is important in this life?

The main misunderstanding of our purpose in life often comes from inflated egos that say that in order for an accomplishment to be of value, it has to be measured in terms of success like wealth, power or fame. What gives life meaning is to love and be loved, to use our gifts and talents to enrich the lives of those around us. To give of ourselves to the service of God and others produces rewards and brings such meaning and fulfillment that cannot be explained, only experienced.

If you want to find meaning in whatever season of life in which you are currently living, look for the good and find the lessons to be learned in everything. Remember that your greatest personal growth will more than likely come in the hard times, while the fondest memories will come from our interactions with those we love.

Hey all! Welcome to my updated blog! In the past few months, I’ve been redesigning and trying different options for my website and blog. In fact, I also launched my first newsletter last month; definitely subscribe if you’re interested in the projects I’m currently working on.

For those of you who are new, here’s a little about me:  I cherish the power to capture and share visceral and moving images that convey messages about the human condition and the natural world. The spirit with which I engineered functional Lego machines as a child now manifests itself in the determined eyes behind a camera. Whether peering across the edge of a thousand-foot drop at Horseshoe Bend or standing still with my forefinger on the shutter in a melting glacial cavern, I strive to persevere courageously and intelligently in all my endeavors.

When I was nine months old, I flew for the first time to Shanghai in my father’s arms. Nearly every year afterwards, I have had the opportunity to travel to places around the world. My experiences abroad have inspired me to uncover stories of people around the globe. While striving to evocative images, I aspire to be a humanitarian integrating my interests in medicine and photography. I hope to heal the individual through medicine and aid the collective through photography.

Erase all those self imposed limits that you are sitting on as an excuse for not reaching as high as you can.Take on new opportunities as if they were the last one you will ever receive.

Be grateful to those who have engaged your services by giving more service than is required.

Now many of you will chortle and nod with the comment the ‘dick just needs a hole’.  Yet sometimes when that constantly rutting male is in our path of desire there are mutual sparks. We concede to hope despite our history.

I have gone beyond the white male fantasy for sexual dominance to understand that my life by the privilege or ascension to be born Black and Female has destined me to lead. Our culture has trained us through hardship as proper for the training of leaders and I am grateful. Black Female Supremacy is not just for the sexual impulse of desire but a reality and for some of you, (I call you the choir) making it your life purpose to see it manifest on Mother earth. Thank you.

We know all human evolution began in Mother Africa from a Black Woman. We know the planet is Female and that (mostly white) males have usurped that authority through violent force. However that rule is ending, crashing down around us by evidence of our daily news.

We now have the power to make fantasy into reality in your lifetime through conscious intention, respect and real service.  Then we will be able to return Gaia to it’s right axis. Utopia IS the goal, though seeing it all manifest in our lifetimes is my fantasy, but we pioneers have begun the big shift to the reality we desire not the broken one we were handed. As the brother said, “Yes We Can”.

How do we shift from fantasy to reality? I know when you open your mind to the Goddess or Feminine consciousness you see the world differently. Your body’s constant sexual response testify’s to the power of the feminine. And you, smarter than the average bear types recognize the original source of that power in the Black Woman, thank you again.

Now when I speak of the Goddess it’s not the focus of a worship outside yourself. It’s not a temple or prayers to the many Goddesses that history has revealed, yet all of those are valid. However, when you reach an awareness that the Goddess is within all of us, a shift happens. It’s like a key turning in a lock, things become clearer to you, your understanding and awareness is sharper, your senses more alive. It’s like the headache of constant longing has finally ceased.  You’ve awakened your feminine brain creating more neuron connections to the right side of your frontal cortex.

Now what do you? You can go try and find some porn to release with or you can take your sexual energy and transmute it’s power. I recommend you ask internally for wisdom, we all have that ability. We just aren’t use to listening that way and for some it will take practice.

But for you who understands the power of service then I invite to join us at Goddess University and continue your journey.

Harry loves gadgets. All gadgets. So he was absolutely delighted when I bought him one of those plastic flowers…you know, the little ones that are powered by a solar cell. The sun shines on them, and they sway merrily back and forth and lift their little leaf arms up again and again in the most charming way. They really are fun to watch, and Harry immediately put his on the windowsill where he can glance at it from time to time as he is working on his computer.

I’ve been watching it too, and I noticed it doesn’t move at all until the sun comes up. I wondered if it had to store some energy before it could move, but Harry assured me it did not. So I watched closely off and on today to see how that little gadget responded to the light or lack of it, and the results were quite interesting. Even though the sun had come up, that plant never moved an inch until it was full daylight. When the sky became cloudy later in the day, it began to slow down. And when the sky darkened with storm clouds, it stopped moving entirely even though there was still plenty of light. It looked the same on the outside, but all the life and energy were gone and it wouldn’t move.

I wonder how often I’m like that little plant, losing most of my energy when clouds roll in and losing my joy entirely when the storms come. And yet it doesn’t have to be that way. While “days of adversity” come to everyone, those of us who love a prodigal can be sure there will be plenty of them in our journey. The prodigals in our lives may bring dark clouds and even storms, but we don’t have to let them steal our joy. While we might not have a choice about the storms, we do have a choice about how we let those storms affect us. You and I can choose to focus our attention on the things that bring us joy and trust God to take care of the rest. Or we can be like that silly little flower, totally still and helpless because the sun isn’t shining bright. My strength is small…maybe yours is too. But, unlike that flower, we can go straight to the source of power and get all the strength we need.

Challenge for Today:  Can you, just for today, look all around you and see all the ways that you are richly blessed? Can you choose joy in spite of what might be happening in your prodigal’s life or your own?

Join us at Ripon Cathedral on Friday June 21st on a journey of worship and discovery.

Transcendence Mass for St John the Baptist is a beautiful collective act of worship which doesn’t  simply involve watching, listening and singing – there’s also space to step apart, to spend time alone or with friends for multi-sensory and contemplative prayer in other parts of the building. Ancient meets modern all around with a feast of light and shade, colour, sound, visuals, music and ambient trance settings of traditional hymns. Live and pre-recorded music intermingle with projections and lighting to create a unique atmosphere before we all come together to share communion.

Come along and bring friends – refreshments are available from 7pm and the service starts at 7.30pm

If you have pipes that make hammering and squeaking noises, you have one easy repair. You must anchor any type of exposed pipe. If pipes are located in the floor, ceiling or walls, you might want to have a professional help you complete the project.

Don’t pay a plumber midway through the job. Sometimes plumbers will request a cash deposit before any work can commence; however, you avoid paying the total bill until the whole job has been finished to your satisfaction. You will feel better paying the bill when you are completely satisfied with the job.

Do not pay anything until the problem is fixed. You may need to make a small down payment before the job has begun, but you never want to pay the entire amount until you are certain the job was completed to your satisfaction. You want to make sure that the plumber completed everything that they said they would before they get your money.

You can combat this by using a water softener. You can either purchase it at a store, or hire a company to come to your house to set it up for you.

If water that is not supposed to be there is in the dishwasher, the likely culprit is a kitchen sink hose not properly attached. The hose from your sink to your dishwasher needs to go upward before going back down so that there is no mixing between fixtures.

Put strainers in the bottoms of your drains to stop any clogging agents from escaping down the drain. Clean the kitchen sink strainer any time something collects in it. Bathtubs should be equipped with strainers as well, and they too will need to be cleaned regularly.

Check the floors in your bathroom for any give in order to be sure that there is no damage in the floors. Sit reversed on the toilet (facing the tank) with your feet on the floor. Rock your weight onto each foot in turn and see if you can feel any weakness or “give” in the floor. You can save money if you notice the problem as soon as possible.

Check your toilet for any leaks. You can do this by coloring the water in your tank. Keep your eye on the toilet bowl; if you notice colored water, you can safely assume that you are dealing with a leak.

If you want to save a lot of time and money on plumbing repairs, prevention is the best weapon you have in your arsenal. Clogs present one of the top reasons for needing a major plumbing repair.

The worst case would be that they burst, creating water damage and a big repair bill.

Use a cleaner that is enzyme based if you want to clean clogged pipes. These types of cleaners will use natural bacteria so that the sludge will turn into liquid form, and be removed from your pipes. Enzyme cleaners are preferred by many to clear clogged drains.

Having to repair pipes that freeze could be very costly. Thankfully, you can prevent your pipes from freezing. Insulate the pipes that run outside with proper material.

Only pay pay the plumber once the job is done. You might have to give them a deposit, but do not give them the entire sum of money until you are sure they have done a good job. This ensures that the plumber fully completes the job before getting paid.

You should regularly check for water damage to your bathroom floor caused by your toilet in order to save money and further complications.

You do not give the plumber all the money until he is finished with his work. In some cases, you have to make a down payment prior to the first day of work. This is okay to do; however, don’t let your plumber talk you into paying the entire cost of a job before he’s finished, and never pay the whole cost before he’s even begun. You will feel better paying the bill when you are completely satisfied with the job.

Stay away from bleach tablets, blue tablets for the toilet and other toilet odor removers. While they are good at removing odors, they have a detrimental effect on the parts of the toilet that are rubber. This can make it not function correctly and may even break it.

If you have any plumbing work that needs to be done, schedule it all to be done concurrently. Of course, our natural inclination is to handle problems as they arise, but it helps to get everything done at once. Even if you only have one noticeable problem, you can still get a plumber to inspect other areas. It can also save money since most plumbers will charge you by the hour. Coming out just once will cut down on the time it takes, making your bill smaller.

They might be in liquid form, but after they cool off, they will solidify and make a clog in your drain pipe.

In the plumbing world, you have many techniques to make your approach better and more efficient. What works for one home may not work for another home, but the plumbing world has something for every house. Hopefully you now possess enough knowledge to begin making small repairs to your system.

To avoid frozen pipes in your home, never allow the temperature in your house to drop below freezing and insulate any pipes that are exposed to the elements. Your plumbing can freeze if the air around it is below 32 degrees. In the very least, you could lose running water inside while waiting for the pipes to unfreeze. On the other hand, they can burst, which gets messy and really expensive.

You never want to pay for a job until it is complete, and this goes for a plumber as well. You may have to pay a portion of the cost before the plumber works on the job, but you should never have to pay in full until after everything has been correctly finished. This ensures that the plumber will not abandon the job midway, and will also care about the quality of their work more.

Stay away from bleach tablets, blue tablets for the toilet and other toilet odor removers. These tablets have chemicals that can damage rubber parts that are essential to the proper functioning of your toilet.

Avoid paying the plumber until he finishes the job. You may have to put money down before they start working, but avoid paying the total amount until it’s done. You want to make sure that the plumber completed everything that they said they would before they get your money.

Keep your bathtub drain running well by pouring a cup of baking soda followed by a cup of vinegar down the drain each month. Cover the drain with a plug or rag as you wait for the chemical reaction between the vinegar and baking soda to happen in your pipes. After waiting a few minutes, flush the drain with boiling water. Doing this will help rid your pipes of disgusting soap scum and blockages.

You should regularly check for water damage to your bathroom floor caused by your toilet in order to save money and further complications. Feel the floor around the toilet and check to see if the floor is soft, molded, chipping, etc. An easy way to test for floor softness is by straddling the toilet and shifting your weight. If the floor feels soft when you do this, you have floor damage. Early detection of the problem may save you a great deal of money over time.

If you are using a slower head, see to it that you replace it with one that has good quality. There are some who think that low price is all that matters when buying fixtures for the bathroom. While it may be cheap, chances are you will have to replace it sooner, as it’s more likely to break sooner.

When using the garbage disposal, do not even bother running the water. It is a common misconception that running water simultaneously is a good idea, but that is not really the case. It could even cause food to stick to the blades of the disposal, creating damage.

Trends come and go in this industry, which is a good thing.  We all need change, even in the restaurant business.  At the risk of sounding whiny (I suppose it’s too late for that), I am ready for the current craft cocktail craze to move along.

I found myself in a local bar recently (hmm, can we still call it a bar?), joining up with my wife and some friends.  At this point in the evening, the cocktail server had been cut, so I had to rely on the mixologist to get my drink.  As I stood at the bar, seemingly forever, I watched as this gentleman played with his….shaker.  I patiently waited–yes I know, that is not a word often used to describe me–as he put together a concoction that consisted of about ten ingredients.

Can I just get a glass of bourbon, please?

I had never seen a drink, stirred and shaken before, but I guess there is a first time for everything.  Not only did he put all of this effort into the making of this cocktail, I got to listen while he described the drink in excessive detail, to the customer, who I imagine was ready to start consuming the thing about five minutes earlier.

He finally made his way over to me and I got to order my drink.  Imagine the disappointment on his face when I just ordered a bourbon neat.  Imagine my disappointment when I found out that my bourbon cost more than the drink with ten ingredients.  Someone may have to explain that one to me someday.  I know he wanted me to at least order it on the rocks so he could ask me which one of the three different types of ice I would like.  Regular cube, crushed, or my new favorite–the giant ice cube.  Everyone knows the giant ice cube keeps the drink cold without making it watery, right?

Bartenders wanted

I guess when it comes down to it I would rather have some crusty old-school bartender than a new age mixologist.  Don’t get me wrong, I love seeing bars infuse their own vodkas and having a lineup of spray bottles filled with house-made bitters, but at least a bartender knows how to crank out drinks fast and recognize that he has a new customer at his bar.  Putting drinks out fast is how a bar makes money, not by making one drink every five minutes.

If you have a clogged toilet with the water level very low, and plunging it isn’t working, it’s possible to resolve this by pouring warm water from a bucket directly into the toilet bowl from about waist level. After the water level in the toilet bowl has gone down, you can repeat the procedure until the blockage is cleared.

When it gets very cold, your pipes may freeze. If it does, relieve the pressure in the pipe by turning on the tap so the water can be released as the pipe thaws. This helps to relieve the pressure in the pipe and may prevent bursting, which can prevent further damage to your home.

If you want to look for floor damage around your toilet, just check the flooring for softness. Sit in a reversed position, putting one foot on each side of the toilet and shift your weight from side to side to check if the floor feels slightly unstable. It could potentially save money by discovering any problems before too much damage occurs.

The dryer has a lint trap that must be kept clean. This will help your dryer to work better and may also prevent fires. Be certain that you thoroughly inspect the trap to ensure there are no tears or holes that may allow lint to travel to the pipes.

If you are using a slower head, see to it that you replace it with one that has good quality. People usually opt for a cheap shower head instead of a quality product. Usually these break easily.

If grout is stick within the line, it is likely useless to try cleaning it on your own. The grout can be broken up however it is not an easy task to do by yourself. This works best if your pipes are plastic instead of metal. You may eventually have to get a professional to solve this problem.

Drain cleaners should be avoided, if possible. The chemicals in these type of cleaners are corrosive, and they could damage your pipes by using them too much. Rather than using drain cleaners, hire a plumber to fix your blockage problems.
