John Hughes-

So we just got a old school lazy boy. It is really comfortable. My wife and I were sitting around watching StarGate and I decided I am going to kick back and relax. We have only had the chair for a few weeks.

I pull back on the arm and its stuck. So I start complaining that I can’t believe the kids broke the chair in such a short period of time. So I grab the handle and give it one more good yank. BOOM!, a giant fireball erupts from beneath the chair. Its like I just contacted mission control for my moon take off.

I quickly take to my feet, the explosion is over. I flip the chair over and put out the remaining flames.

Damn kids….

Nope, thats my lighter that fell out of my pocket.

My company The Federal Recycler donated two computer systems to The Academy of Business and Technology.  Ms. Zohar recently came to me with a personal computer she wanted to have fixed.  After learning about her school and how unequipped with supplies they were, I was more then happy to offer a few computers to aid her.

The two systems will be used primarly for putting together the school newspaper and yearbook.

We are currently working on a mechanism for catching and filtering rain water for the warehouse at The Artist Village.  We have a 12,000 sq ft flat roof to work with.  Planning on installing a 350 gallon tote for collection.  Right now we are  designing a self-cleaning filtering system.

There is a single gutter that runs the west side of the building.  The gutter has only one downspout (which is missing).  The plan is to contruct a PVC downspout with an angled filter over the top.  The pipe will hang a few inches from the buttom of the spout (some 8-10ft in the air).  The force of the water hitting the angled filter should clean away any debris.  While we will only get a small percentage of water to pass through a tight filter, considering the quantity of water ran over it during a 1in rainfall, it should be more then sufficient to collect a whole tote full.

The tank should be elevated to the highest point possible (approx 6 ft from bottom).  This will allow for adequte pressure to feed any point in the building.  There will be a overfill draining pipe.

A gravity feed will be used to supply 2 bathroom toilets and 2 water spickets, until a improved filtering system and powered pump are available.  A pressure on demand pump will be used to force water through 1 micron filter, a charcoal filter, and a UV anti-microbial light.

At this point a hotwater tank will be installed and possibilty of a shower.

No one likes having to drive home from work all dirty.  A shower would be awesome. -Marc

I had some issues with DNS (stupid typo) and now we are in business, literally.
