Century Centaur

The Hippocrates Health Institute is just across the turnpike from Century Village. They love Hallow'een. There were new age fairies, godesses, and jingling belly dancers but they left early, leaving mostly hunks and yellow guy (he is a banana hunk). Norman Gitzen, the famous sculptor of the famous mermaid - center photo of collage, was intrigued by the idea of being the Century Village Centaur spokesperson. (1/2 person)
In addition to leading morning gallops, he can make anything of metal, stone, or wood. A new look for CV don't you think! click to enlarge and see what Norman reads.
Many villagers swear by the health programs at Hippocrates

A Practical and Simplified Approach to Condo Rules

Jim Hart has kindly sent his latest article to the Blog. Jim has years of experience with condo issues through his experience as Past Vice President of Tri-County Communities Association (TCCA), Vice President of the Coalition of Florida Condominium Associations (COFCA), and director, Center for Community & Condominium Living.
You can find his whole article on the left side of the blog 'Save Many Condo Problems' under Cyberspace Articles.
I liked his idea to make bylaws more digestible: "The best thing any association can do is to produce a three or four page condensed version of those documents highlighting the more important and more frequently abused rules."
Has anyone tried this? Would you like to pass it along to us! We once had a newsletter that reminded residents of the most frequent problems. We need to do it again, and again.

CENTURY VILLAGE - BOIL WATER ALERT

THE FOLLOWING COURTESY OF ELAINE:
.....................................................................................
The media!

Palm Beach Post Staff Writer -
Tuesday, October 27, 2009

A boil-water order is in place until Thursday evening for more than 300 households at the Century Village community in suburban West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County's utilities department said.

Water was cut from about 1:25 p.m. to 7:35 p.m., according to an advisory sent to the media at 8 p.m. Monday.The cutoff came after a contractor working in Century Village hit a six-inch water main. Workers set about replacing a section of the damaged main.

The order, which runs for 72 hours after service is restored, directs customers to bring all water that's to be consumed to a rolling boil for at least three minutes, then cool.

The affected areas of Century Village are Plymouth, Easthampton, Salisbury, Waltham, Norwich, Coventry, Sheffield, and Stratford, and the medical building, the release said.

DON'T DRINK THE WATER

I just heard that a number of associations here are under a boil water order. I don't know which associations, but just to be safe, everybody should buy bottled water. To be honest, is the local water here that safe?

CV Transportation

why arent bus schedules distibuted at the clubhouse? its much more accessible than taking, in
many cases 2 buses to get to uco-----claire z schneider

YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE

The Main Clubhouse is once again open. Play your cards; see your shows; give the guard who checks your ID a big hug. That is all.

EPIDEMIC OF LEAKS and CORROSION CELLS

Pinhole leak caused by a Bimetallic Corrosion Cell

When two different metals such as copper and steel are connected together, especially in the presence of moisture, the voltage difference, resulting from their differing physical properties, will cause an electric current to flow from the metal with the higher voltage potential to the metal with a lower voltage potential.
-
At the same time electrons flow on the metal from the one metal to the other. This is called a "bimetallic or dissimilar metal corrosion cell."
-
Recall that corrosion results from an electrical release of energy in the form of electrons and DC current from a metal surface, especially when moisture is present. If an insulating barrier has not been applied to block the flow of electrons along the metal surfaces, then, corrosion is assured.
-
The currents are small and corrosion sufficient to cause pinhole leaks takes time; but our CV infrastructure is reaching a point in its life cycle where such leaks are undoubtedly possible.
-
Proper and careful plumbing and construction techniques requires the application of high dielectric strength barriers (insulation) to every such union of pipes made of dissimilar metals (Steel and Copper). Modern installation of under sink traps usually employ PVC to avoid any such corrosion issues.
-
When our buildings were built was this problem carefully considered in plumbing all of our structures? Do we have any cases of copper pipes within walls or slabs coming in contact with REBAR or metallic studs? Look at your under sink traps; do you see copper pipe emerging from the wall joined with an old style steel trap?
-
Is this technical issue the cause of our epidemic of water damage and mold; I do not know for sure, but it is certainly worth looking into.

Questions on the new water cutoff valves

It is not clear to me from the photo in the November UCO Reporter just where the new recommended water cutoff valves will be located. The articles say it will be in a visible, feasible location next to the water meter. Does this mean somewhere in the pit with the meter and visible once the cover has been removed, or outside the pit and somewhere beside it? If the first, there wouldn't be a whole lot of difference between giving the new valve a quarter turn and turning the old valve from the outside to the meter the same quarter turn to shut off the water. "Legal" or not, a lot of folk shut off their water now by doing the latter. I am assuming the new shutoff will be OUTSIDE the pit where it will be visible to anyone passing by. Where, though? Many homes have such a shutoff, but it isn't out on the sidewalk where people could trip on it, break it, or vandalize it easily. It is usually some distance from the meter, next to the house and out of the way. If our condo shutoffs are outside of but right next to the pit with the meter, won't they be susceptible to damage, either purposeful or accidental? And couldn't this happen: A snowbird turns off his water using the new shutoff valve instead of having the valve in the pit shut off, either by himself or by the water company (which puts a lock on it keeping it in the shut position). He thinks he is safe, but by accident or on purpose someone turns his shutoff valve back ON, making the apartment susceptible to a flood. This might not be as far-fetched as one might think, because two neighbors are often served by meters and water pipes in the SAME PIT. It's not uncommon for one neighbor to confuse his line with the other's line. Have these questions been thought through? Lanny Howe

Farewell my friend

Mary, from Salisbury G, passed away this morning, at 78, exactly 5 weeks to the day of being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Early in September, her three children drove down from northern New Jersey, to take her back home with them.
Mary was a wonderful friend and neighbor, firm in her political convictions, and a generous volunteer at a local geriatric center where she "pushed" wheelchairs 3 days a week.
I can still see her eyes light up every time she talked about her children and grand-children. Her favorite hobby was "scouring" rummage stores to hunt for yarn for a crafty friend, or for used clean towels for another who made bed pads for cancer patients, or for anything a friend might casually mention in conversation.
Mary was a bit of a kleptomaniac when it came to paper napkins...at Dunkin' Donuts or McDonald... wherever we'd stopped to eat. Although she had plenty in her pantry, she would pick up a few "extras" and stuff them in her purse. I joked with her many times that all she would get for Christmas were huge packages of paper napkins... Her answer was: "I just can't help it."
Every time I look across the street at her white front door and her partially lowered shades, I'll remember her smiling face and those laughing eyes.
Mary often mentioned that she was eager to join her beloved husband Louie in Heaven. I so dearly hope that she has and that she will rest in peace.
Live each day as if it were your last...
Many blessings,
Mariel

WHAT IS PETANQUE

In another thread, Mike asks; "What is Petanque"


Pétanque (French pronunciation: [petɑ̃ːk]) is a form of boules where the goal is, while standing with the feet together in a small circle, to throw hollow metal balls as close as possible to a small wooden ball called a cochonnet (jack). The game is normally played on hard dirt or gravel, but can also be played on grass or other surfaces. Soft sandy beaches are not suitable. Similar games are bocce and bowls.
The current form of the game originated in 1907 in La Ciotat, in Provence, in southern France. The English and French name pétanque comes from la petanca [peˈtaŋkɔ] in the Provençal dialect of the Occitan language, deriving from the expression pès tancats [ˈpɛ taŋˈka], meaning "feet together"[1] or more exactly "feet anchored".
The casual form of the game of Pétanque is played by about 17 million people in France, mostly during their summer vacations. There are about 375,000 players licensed with the Fédération Française de Pétanque et Jeu Provençal (FFPJP) and some 3000 in England.

Save our $$ - STOP Cutting Palms

According to Code and experts NONE of our palms need trimming, it only makes money for landscapers. Trimming increases palms need for water and fertilizer. See Jarriel currently overpruning near the CV 4-way. Someone talked us into this because they made no hurricane money!

Pruning Palms
GREEN FRONDS – Do not remove ANY green fronds especially above the horizontal.
YELLOW FRONDS - Avoid removing, these still feed the plant.
BROWN FRONDS - OK to remove if desired.
SEEDS & FLOWERS - OK to remove if desired.
Palm canopies should be 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock
Over-pruned palms look terrible and could attract pests. Edward F. Gilman UF IFAS.

TERMITES

Rumors are flying all around CV that during a tour of the new Clubhouse before it was

tour that this Clubhouse will never have to worry about termites. If this rumor is true
I would think that an investigation of the proposal of the company involved in this type
of work should be conducted by UCO plus etc. and search to see if there is any truth to
the rumor and take action if needed.

THE REMOTE WHISPERER

I attended the class on how to use the Comcast remote. Here are some things to remember:

• There is a red button marked "Guide" on the left middle that will access an onscreen TV guide. You can use that to program the VCR.
  
• If you use the big red button to turn on and off every device and things go wrong (you must pay attention), use the little buttons on top of the button (that is, use "Cable" to turn on the box and then "Power").
  
• If you accidentally turn on Channel 1, use the channel button on the right to switch to another channel. The category marked "Free Movies" really is free.
  
• Don't throw away the other remote (the one that came with the set); you will need it as well.

Golf Course Town Meeting

October 16, 2009

Re: Town Meeting for Information about Golf Course Property

Yesterday I went to the Town Meeting to hear all the information that I could about what is to happen to the now closed golf course. Both sides did credible presentations and I had some questions for each side.

This is when the meeting turned into bedlam (a crazy place) and all control, manners and tolerance ceased. The Judge that was brought in to moderate the meeting was totally useless. I find it hard to believe he ever controlled a courtroom. He did not set guidelines for the Q & A part of the meeting. He did not stop any of the rudeness that happened.

At this point JV took it upon herself and decided to control the meeting herself. She would not allow Mr Waldman, who had been introduced as part of the team but was sitting down in the front row, to answer a question that had been asked. This is when the pro-active committee members started yelling and making derogatory remarks about or to anyone they thought did not agree with them. People were lined up at the microphones supposedly to ask questions but it seemed that most of them came with a printed agenda which they read. At this point people seemed to lose patience and most started leaving.

The meeting became a disgrace to the Village. There is no excuse for the rudeness and yelling that went on. This was not a voting meeting; it was supposed to be an information meeting so people could clarify questions that they had.

The main question that I wanted to ask was: What does the pro-active committee want to do with that land? If is pretty clear that it will never be a golf course again. The Village did not buy that property when the price was reasonable and they had the chance. They themselves talked about a 2 million dollar course restoration somewhere in the area. I do not believe that the people in our village are willing or able to spend that kind of money, let alone buy the property that is not for sale and then put several million dollars into it to turn it into a money losing business.

I hope when the snowbirds come back, they can come to a Town Meeting that would be a help to them and not a free-for-all like yesterdays.

CABLE DROPOUT AND THE CRAN

Hi all,

here in Florida, and other locations, Nationally, Comcast uses a 10 Gigabit Ethernet system (10GigE) , called a CRAN, Converged Regional Area Network.

The Converged Regional Area Network, or CRAN allows all voice, video, and Internet traffic to go over a single network with redundant 10 GigE networks, we are talking a major multiplex of high data rates.
-
The speed of the connections are very fast. All devices on the Comcast network, regardless if it is a cable modem, digital cable box, VoIP modem, or whatever are connected to each other, from the demarc box of the home and outward, on a redundant 10 GigE optical network.
-
Such a network can provide network speeds far in excess of what Verizon's Fios offers with little upgrade by Comcast should they want to offer equivalent speeds.
-
All areas are being converted to the CRAN. The most apparent thing you will notice when you are switched, is the additional hops; you see the additional hops if you run a Traceroute on your INTERNET connection.
-
These hops have little to no effect on speeds or latency. The good news is; by keeping the traffic more internal ie. on Comcast proprietary networks, it reduces cost to Comcast and allows the subscriber to put a less detrimental affect on the network.
-
What does all this technical stuff mean; communications are complex, and sometimes, Stuff Happens!

POLITICO

Wexler will resign seat to head Mideast center
Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL) will announce he is resigning his seat tomorrow to become head of a Middle East group, the Center for Middle East Peace and Economic Cooperation, founded by Slim-fast businessman S. Daniel Abraham, Hill sources say tonight.
Earlier: Jockeying for Wexler's House seat is already underway, reports Josh Kraushaar.
Democratic foreign policy hands said earlier today that Wexler, an important early Obama supporter in Jewish Democratic circles, was seeking to transition out of the Hill to private sector work where he could make more money and pay for children's school tuitions, etc.
S. Danny Abraham is a long time associate and supporter of Wexler from his Palm Beach district, major Democratic party donor close to the Clintons, and dovish pro-Israel philanthropist. The Middle East center Wexler will head is revived from an earlier incarnation. Among its past associates, Clinton-era DAS Toni Verstandig and Dan Rothem.
In a speech earlier this month on Middle East policy at the Center for American Progress, Wexler strongly defended Obama's Middle East peace push.
