The water in the southern 1/2 of California (not just Southern California, but Monterey, Oxnard, etc) comes hundreds of miles in amazing water projects that take water from the Sacramento River, Owens River, Mono Lake, and the Colorado River. Yet, there is a huge water plant in Ontario that bottles this water using Reverse Osmosis. It’s sold as Niagra Water and Costco Drinking Water. That’s right folks, that bottle of water has traveled 600 miles in the California Aqueduct, pumped 3,000 feet over a mountain near Bakersfield (13,000 cu/ft a second – takes two power plants to power the pumps), through 7 miles of tunnel, to Riverside and the public water systems. Niagra Water has a plant there, and bottles it using Reverse Osmosis to purify, in which about 1/2 goes to the sewer as waste, then it’s shipped 3,000 miles to us here on the east coast. Niagra says the industry uses about 1 percent of the water. If using the flow from the Los Angeles Aqueduct only (from the Owens River), that’s about 420,000 acre feet of water. An acre foot is 325,851 gallons so that’s about 136,920,000,000 gallons of water. so 1% of the LA Aqueduct alone is 1,369,200,000 gallons. Yet the LA Aqueduct supplies on 1/3 of LA’s water so triple that to 4 trillion gallons, 1/2 of which are dumped into the drain.
You can save that water the trouble of being shipped across the US and the related fuel, and California some water by doing was Niagra Water does. Put a Reverse Osmosis system in you own home.
Get one of these Reverse Osmosis water filters and stop buying water [look at the bottle, this is what they do]: http://www.costco.com/Premier-WP4-V-Reverse-Osmosis-System-with-Monitoring-Faucet.product.11257320.html. Add this on for efficiency: http://www.premierh2o.com/collections/pumps/products/aquatec-_erp-1000_560041_permeate_pump_kit
Mine came with a cheesy faucet. I ordered it two weeks ago. Costco changed it already and offers a kit with better faucet now that has a LED light to tell you it’s time to change the filters (‘monitored faucet’). But its chrome, and there are other faucets on the Premier website. I ordered a brushed nickle one last night. Premier is a subsidiary of Watts. They also offer a zero waste R.O. system that has a pump and pumps the waste water into your water heater. Adds complexity to the system and minerals to water heater. I choose this one and ordered the permeate pump to double efficiency. Oh, you need a spare hole in the sink for the faucet. I drilled one in my porcelain on iron sink. Not for the meek, took an hour, mostly because it was hard to drill the 1/8″ starter hole in the 1/8″ thick porcelain. An 1/8″ diamond bit would have helped. Then I made the hole larger and larger 1/32″ at a time marching up my drill set to get to the 1/4″ size of the pilot bit in the 1 1/4″ hole saw. Wouldn’t be any trouble on a stainless steel sink. But don’t do that yourself if not comfortable with destroying your sink. I watched a couple youtube videos on it.
If you can, install the Reverse Osmosis System itself in the laundry so you can easily change the filters (not under the sink, unless you like working in dark, tight places) and use longer length 1/4″ and 3/8″ poly pipe from Home Depot or Lowes to install it. Don’t use the saddle valve unless you want a leak in a couple years, add a tee to your water line and a tubing connector, drain to your laundry stand pipe. Tee the freshwater line to the icemaker and sink. No more chlorine or other foul stuff. Does waste about 1/2 the water, but it’s only drinking water. Gallon a day maybe. ANd if you are buying bottled water, that water is being wasted already. If you have a septic system, you are not wasting the water as it’s goes back into the ground water.
So Save California some water as the Niagra water (and Costco Drinking water is also Niagra) is bottled in Ontario California (in the desert East of L/A) using water from the Sacramento River.
Our Recreational Vehicle has a 22″ Magic Chef Range with oven. The oven is small and it’s nice to know all of the dimensions of this RV Oven.
The actual outside width is 21 1/4″ and height is 16.5″.
Interior oven total dimensions are Width: 16.5″, Depth: 15″ and total oven height (including burner and broiler area): 10.75″. Broiler area is 3″ high total.
Usable RV Oven space is 16″ Wide x 14.5″ deep x 4.75″ high (distance from rack to top of oven is 5″ but usable height is less since food shouldn’t touch top of oven.
I’ve read recommendations of placing a single 12″ x 12″, four 6″ x 6″ quarry tiles or a pizza stone on top of the metal plate over the burner to provide for more even heating of the oven.

One more tip:
To Change Drive Belt
For the person with the slow computer, check if your system page file is fragmented. This sounds long but it’s only a few window dialog boxes. Start->Control Panel, then Administrative Tools, Defragment Your Hard Drive, click Analyze Then wait, and when done View Report and look for Page File Fragmentation. If fragmented, then I recommend two things.
1. Set the size of you page file to a static number (Start->Computer, Advanced Tab, Click Settings under Performance, now Advanced Tab, In the Virtual Memory Section, click Change, Uncleck Automaically Manage paging file size, Check the Custom Size, and pick a number about twice you memory size. Make sure it’s at least as large as your memory, [ note: Disk space is cheap now so ok to waste a few GB of disk in case you want to add more memory later] DO THIS ONLY FOR DRIVE C:, THE REST DO NOT MATTER. . Click OK, OK, Etc to close all of those Windows. If asked to reboot click the Later option. Now you have to Defragment the pagefile with Perfect Disk http://www.raxco.com/home/prod…. So get that with a license so you have to Boot Time Defragmentation option. Install it. Now reboot. Reboot again. Then set the Perfect Disk (PD is slow to start so wait) boot time option for drive C. Reboot.) Sounds like a lot of steps, but this one setting is the reason are computers running Windows slow down over time as the pagefile is the most accessed file in windows. Perfect Disk will actually prevent other files from fragmentation on the fly as they are written. Make sure it’s scheduled to run at least every few days to keep your disk Perfect.
and 2, before upgrading, might want to do two complete system backups to a slim portable hard disk with Acronis True Image http://www.acronis.com/en-us/p… This is a full system backup and can be restored. Make sure to create the Boot CD (or DVD, or USB drive) so you can restore if need be. Like if Windows 10 doesn’t support your audio card or printer. Also handy to have if a disk drive fails. You can even tell Acronis to encypt the backup – just don’t loose the key [but don’t write it on the drive – tape it under the keyboard – you just don’t want to loose the drive and have someone else find it. If paranoid – put the key in a bank safety deposit box.]

Hate speech I collected from Tom Smeal on Facebook (names changed to protect the innocent).
Tom Smeal writes this more hate filled crap on NPR pages.
Nice one %s; the Green Energy companies FAILED because they did not follow set regulations. The shareholders of the failed GREEN companies were after profits, profits and more profits. GREEN CEOs made millions on the backs of taxpayers then went Bankrupt…………………………………………..http://dailycaller.com/…/as-many-as-fifty-obama-backed…/
%s can read, but look what happened. I noticed that %s has a HUGE carbon footprint but advocates for others to use expensive green energy. What an obvious, foolish hypocrite.
99.9% of Liberals enjoy their huge carbon footprints and only want others to sacrifice to ‘save the planet’.
People first….why do you hate the poor %s?
Fracking directly benefits the public good.
LOL!!!! “liberal Republican”, that’s the funniest thing I’ve seen so far this year. No such thing %s; all Liberals hate Republicans. Please show us some proof of earthquake damaga %s. Earthquakes are natural and happen every day all over the world and only occasionally cause damage. If it speaks like a Liberal then you are a Liberal.
What about charges against all those rotten people who looted their neighborhoods and tried to injure the police, even though the police were ordered by their idiot Mayor to permit the lowlife scum to destroy their neighborhoods?
You forget that the greater good supercedes local kingdoms. Why allow a few enviro whackos hurt the poor.
%s why do you hate the poor? Why do you want to reduce the standard of living of people getting handouts from Obama? For shame.
Fracking has greatly helped the poor in the buckeye state. Capitalism works.
Straw man attacks are juvenile %s. Do you believe man is causing climate change %s?
When are you going to give up automobile travel?
You voted for Obama; you got what you voted for
Finally! Obama’s spying on us is being stopped. Our right to privacy wins one finally. I wonder what the Democrats are going to do with the phone data they already have?
Son of a gun. Gray had heroine and marijuana in his blood. Figures.
Yes %s. The Mayor and Prosecutor may want to give a free pass to their law breaking constituency. The Mayor has already stopped the police force from arresting suspects and most of those thugs that were arrested were freed.
Obama doesn’t think NSA programs violated Americans’ privacy, WH says

Working on my garage door opener and being lazy I searched on Google for it. Folks wanted $10 to download the manual. Less lazy for $10, so found my manual, scanned it and here it is for FREE.
Carpenter Bees are a common problem for owners of log homes. Since they don’t eat the wood and only drill into it, most pesticides applied to logs to prevent termites will have no effect on them. We’ve been log home owners for 20 years now, have found an effective method to control carpenter bees and prevent them from causing further damage.
The product we use is called Tri-Die Pressurized Silica + Pyrethrin Dust. In 2014, it costs about $20 for an 8 oz can. Buy a couple cans of Tri-Die. While a little goes a long way, it’s best to be ready with the carpenter bees awake in the spring and not be caught without the solution. Spray this product into the holes the carpenter bees have drilled into your home. The carpenter bees will quickly exit and die. This works really well for carpenter bee infestations that you can reach easily.
If you are like us, though, and your log home has high areas, then you need a little help in the form of Spray Close. It’s this great device that hooks on the end of a high reach paint stick. It holds a spray can and with the use of a string you can press down on the spray cap and inject the Tri-Die into carpenter bees nest high up. We’ve used this method to effectively wipe out all carpenter bees in our home.
The Tri-Die can is a little too small for the Spray Close tool. So you’ll need a trick. Take the cap off the can of the Tri-Die and using vinyl electrical tape, attach the cap to the bottom of the can of Tri-Die. Now place the can into the Spray Close tool. Since the Tri-Die can is slimmer then the average insecticide you’ll need to tape the can to the tool with vinyl electrical tape. Make sure to tape tight at the top without interfering with the activation lever. With a little practice, you should be able to get the straw from the Tri Die to aim into the carpenter bee nest so the insecticide reaches the target bees.
Take a look at our setup in the picture below and see how we did it. Now you are ready to solve your carpenter bee problem at areas as high as your long reach paint pole reaches. Ours went to 30 feet but we didn’t need that much. Note that the string pulls down along the length of the paint stick and that action pushes down on the spray dispenser. Don’t try to have someone else activate the spraying of the Tri-Die as it won’t work right. It’s the person holding the paint stick pulling toward oneself that activates the spray action. Look closely at the picture to see how the nozzle gets depressed. Click on the picture to see the full size image noting how the string operates and how we taped the can of Tri Die to the Spray Close tool. We have no carpenter bees around our home now.
The reason that the Tri-Die works so well is carpenter bees will visit other carpenter bee homes. So while you should try to get every one of the carpenter bees voids sprayed, if you miss a couple, it won’t matter. You probably should seal up the holes in your home to prevent other pests from causing trouble, but I think you need to leave a few carpenter bee holes open (The Honey Pot) to treat annually. Otherwise, a new brood will come along, drill new holes and you’ll be back to the starting place.
