Facebook appears to now allow the removal of any admin, even the creator, from Facebook Pages. Every admin now has a “Remove Admin” link below their name.

In the last few days this creator conundrum seems to have disappeared. I’m curious if some accounts saw this change previously or if this is newly available for all pages.

Based on the large number of ongoing discussions on this topic, there will be many people happy to see this Facebook update.

Now a choice awaits me. Shall I continue to enjoy my virtual life at sea while in the city by the bay or jump ship for that distant silent shoreline across the hall?

You might remember our Chinese Dragon Puppets from a previous art literacy program.

The League of Heroes is led by Sergeant Egglatch from the team’s HQ yacht. Egglatch has doubt that the fatigue and debt weighing the team down is due to the ongoing Blood Wars. He also has vague recollections of an anxious foreign agent’s bargain advice that may have led the League’s troubles.

He would like to condemn the recent intrigue on Soxoff, the villain spotted last week eating cantaloupe during a sewage flood at a Paris train depot. Soxoff may appear to be a cordial individual, especially while wearing a subtle disguise, but don’t be fooled. This villain, according to the Heroes News Bureau, is reminiscent of every bad adjective. He is known for his long-winded and hot-tempered monologue. He seems just the type to have set the environment for Egglatch’s angst.

While I have nothing against manure and actually enjoy its scent in reasonable exposures, I much prefer the brown sugar reference and am now looking forward to getting my hands into our garden.

Three souls expressed in our creative clan of dragons.

A/C and Heater Control Panel

This is my long-term memory for another household chore. Most of my other household fixes are held in memory for me on my YouTube.com channel.

Our studio has a large A/C and Heater unit that was no longer heating. The A/C seemed to be working fine and the fan worked when on heat but the heating element would not heat up. I had opened it up and pulled out the control box a few days ago but only today got back to figuring out the problem. Of course the neighbor came over to help out and offer his expertise.

Everything seemed fine but we discovered that the heating element was not getting any power. Backing up from the element we checked for current across the temperature control — none. We then bypassed the temperature control and the element started warming up.

Next step was to remove the temperature control and investigate. My neighbor had left and so I tried to figure it out on my own. Not knowing for sure what the problem was, I started looking into the temperature control itself leaving the thermostat out of the picture for now.

In the temperature control I noticed the connection was completed when a lever was raised as the thermostat did its thing and completed the circuit on the connection side of the temperature control. I turned the temperature control dial to watch how this lever was adjusted as I turned the dial to “warm.” Seeing which way it moved, I turned the thermostat adjustment screw to move the lever in the direction I’d seen the temperature control dial move it. After making incremental changes I reconnected the thermostat and tested. Now the heating element had power and our frigid studio had heat again.

Of course I don’t think I’ve taken care of everything. I expect that now I won’t get any A/C due to the adjustment I made. I haven’t checked this yet since the studio needed some heat for a while. At worst I figure I’ll have to adjust it again when we get warm weather. I can get a replacement for this Ranco C21 which, it seems, is officially called a C21 Single Stage Control.

If you have any advise for me or I need to correct any of my description, please leave a comment.

TeamSnap Term of Service Agreement

Refreshing to see a site that accepts the reality that few, if any, users will ever read the lengthy terms of service. TeamSnap makes this clear if you read the small text below the Create New Team button.

Even though I probably won’t read them, by clicking this button I agree to the TeamSnap Terms of Service anyway.

They maintain this realistic viewpoint and casual tone in the TeamSnap privacy policy when referring to their promise not to share information with anyone.

The only exception to this might be if we’re required to share your information with law enforcement. Or maybe if there was some cataclysmic global event like an asteroid strike and we thought it might help. But short of that, your information is 100% confidential. In fact, we’d be inclined to lay down our lives to protect your information (or at least just lay down, like for a nap).

It is easy to be casual and fun when you have a product that serves its purpose well. In managing a soccer team, TeamSnap has proven to be simple to use and effective. Apparently there are many types of groups using the TeamSnap service beyond sports teams. Alas, no rock-paper-scissors teams yet.
