City of Elizabethton departments strive to improve efficiency, reduce operating costs9:52 am | August 20, 2012
Part 2 of a two-part series
The City of Elizabethton has implemented a robust strategy of repairing, replacing and expanding an aging infrastructure that dates back more than 100 years to meet demands over the next 50 years. Various departments are striving to improve productivity and reduce operating expenses under the direction of City Manager Fred Edens.
Edens met recently with the STAR to outline productivity improvements and cost-savings measures that have been either undertaken recently or planned for the future.
Elizabethton Police
The City of Elizabethton will realize an annual savings on liability insurance because the Elizabethton Police Department (EPD) has been accredited by the Professional Standards Division of the Tennessee Association of Chiefs of Police, according to Chief Matt Bailey.
The main police department building is connected by fiber optic cable to City Hall, the Criminal Investigation Division officers in the Elizabethton Public Library building (the former U.S. Post Office on Sycamore Street), the Carter County Jail, and the 911 Communications Center. This has made for much faster and dependable communications and improved efficiencies of operation, Bailey said.
The EPD in-car videos of traffic stops and arrests are automatically downloaded to a server located inside the police department. It saves a tremendous amount of time for the officers not having to download the video manually, Bailey said.
Field reporting has been enhanced with the use of a handheld Personal Digital Assistant to complete all reports in the field, as well as issuing citations electronically. "The officers have full remote access to the NCIC (National Crime Information Center) database to query driver licenses, wanted persons, etc.," Bailey said.
Elizabethton Fire
Elizabethton Fire Chief Barry Carrier, like other department heads, is striving to improve productivity and reduce costs for taxpayers. The Elizabethton Fire Department (EFD) is a member of the Northeast Tennessee Fire Chiefs Association and, as a result, can take advantage of group purchasing for expensive items such as fire hose and other firefighting apparatus, according to Carrier.
Membership in the Northeast Tennessee Regional Fire Training Association allows all new hires to attend a comprehensive training school at a cost of $500 each. This is the only authorized "rookie training school" outside of the Tennessee Training Academy, which costs approximately $3,000 to attend.
To minimize training expense, EFD is using the Internet to set up training classes by video conferencing. "By using this technology, it allows us to meet the training standard while keeping crews in their assigned zones for (emergency) response. We can use this for some but not all of our requirements. Fire type incident response is based on teamwork and in some cases the training must be done as a team," Carrier said.
Recently EFD took delivery of a new fire truck, a triple combination pumping apparatus, to replace a 30-year-old pumper. "Initial cost estimates were around $350,000. However the City of Elizabethton was able to utilize the manufacturer's stock program and purchased only the basic pumping apparatus that meets National Fire Protection Association standards with no extra options. The City of Elizabethton was able to get a bid price of $297,000 on the new truck, a significant savings to taxpayers.
In the future, EFD plans to continue to work on reducing insurance rates for homeowners by improving the Insurance Service Office (ISO) rating used by insurance companies to determine the premium for homeowners insurance policies. Currently, the City of Elizabethton is rated a four ISO. "The goal for the fire department is to get the City of Elizabethton to a three ISO rating. It is commonly believed that the cost to taxpayers to get to a two or one ISO rating would outweigh the benefit that they would see as a reduction in their homeowners insurance," Carrier said.
There are many factors involved in the ISO rating, such as the water supply, type of pumping apparatus, water pressure at the location of the response, available manpower, levels of training and certification, among other criteria. "Some factors are within the control of the fire department staff and some factors are not, but we strive to reach the highest level we can in the areas that are within our control," Carrier said.
Planning & Development
Jon Hartman, planning and development director, assumed his present assignment in October of 2011. Since then, Hartman has been working toward streamlining the development process to provide "one stop service."
The process includes a strategic plan for the City of Elizabethton, planning and building codes, community development and cultural services, the latter which includes Parks and Recreation and the Elizabethton Public Library.
The overall strategic plan is being developed with input from a Visioning Committee, which identified goals and objectives to be included in the plan. The general public has been asked to prioritize the goals before the strategic plan is finalized.
In a cost-savings measure, Hartman said the City of Elizabethton contracted with the First Tennessee Development District to provide planning services, including studies and grant writing, to supplement activities undertaken by him. "This resulted in a 2/3rds savings to city taxpayers," Hartman said.
The two-year renovation of the historic Covered Bridge, which spans Doe River in downtown Elizabethton, was completed in April 2012 at a cost of $450,000. The renovation was covered by a TDOT Enhancement Grant for $400,000 requiring a 20% match of $80,000 from the City. The $400,000 covered the costs for construction and just over $50,000 was spent by the city on engineering and plan design work to prepare for the construction. The City paid approximately $130,000 for a project which cost just over $450,000; bringing $320,000 of State and Federal money back to the Elizabethton community, Hartman said.
Other recent projects nearing completion or approved by the planning department include:
• The Linear Path in downtown Elizabethton is to be completed in the fall of 2013 with TDOT's approval.
• A Certificate of Occupancy will be issued to the new Dollar General Store on State Highway 19E located next to Snap-On Tools.
• Expansion of Snap-On Tools is expected to be completed in 30 to 60 days.
• Construction of the Waffle House near the new Medical Care Building at West Town Shopping Center.
• Construction of the Quality Oil Automatic Gas Station, across from Grindstaff Chrysler-Dodge- Jeep-Sprinter Vans on West Elk Avenue.
• Construction of the Family Dollar Store on Broad Street that replaced three blighted houses.
• Renovation of the former Raceway Convenience Store on Broad Street.
Parks and Recreation
In a transfer of maintenance duties with the Street Department, The Parks and Recreation Department now maintains Edwards Island, the Covered Bridge Park and Walter Curtis Park. No additional staff members or revenue have been added to take care of this additional responsibility, according to Michael Mains, park and recreation director. For the first time in history of the Elizabethton Twins Baseball Team, advertising sales have exceeded $30,000 to benefit the recreational program, Mains said.
According to Mains, capital projects are always constructed by staff with labor provided by the Carter County Work Camp.
"This partnership has saved taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars," Mains said.
Elizabethton Public Library
The Elizabethton Public Library joined the Mid-Atlantic Library Association and, as a result, will receive up to 45 percent discount on some books. In addition, the library received a Library Services & Technology Act grant which doubled the available funds for technology upgrades, according to Melodi Goff, library director. Library furniture was purchased through the State surplus program, resulting in considerable savings to the city, Goff said.
City Manager Cost-Savings
Cost-savings measures have also been undertaken by the City Manager. Edens has reduced expenses in the City Manager's budget by $60,000 by combining the duties of the Deputy Clerk with the Administrative Assistant in planning and development. "I do not take trips unless they are necessary. I usually take one trip a year to Knoxville or Nashville. My travel expense budget is $2,000 to $3,000 per year. Elizabethton City Council approved a two percent pay increase, totaling $142,000, for city employees. However, there was no pay increase for senior staff," Edens said.
City of Elizabethton employs 286 employees
There are 286 employees, including seasonal, part-time and full-time personnel, employed by the City of Elizabethton, according to the Personnel and Risk Management Department. By department, the number of employees are:

The one time I needed a glucagon injection, I didn't have any. I had never been given a prescription for it, had no idea how to use it, and was absolutely clueless about what it did.
I was into my life with type 1 diabetes about two years when it happened. It was bedtime, and I had taken my long-lasting insulin injection and was finishing up my preparations for the next day. My mind was preoccupied with my job, and I simply forgot to eat my snack before I fell asleep. I was about to learn a lesson I would never forget.
Sometime in the middle of the night, I heard my name being called over and over. It wasn't my live-in boyfriend; it was, I'd later learn, the team of paramedics gathered around my bed, where I lay sweating, shaking, and unable to speak.
They said I was combative and rushed me to the emergency room. I marvel that I have no recollection of the trip down three flights of stairs on a gurney, my arrival at the hospital, or the glucagon shot. Shortly after the glucagon was administered, I woke up. I was confused and disoriented. I became nauseated and vomited as the nurse offered me a banana.
I was shocked that something as simple as forgetting to eat my snack could cause such a dramatic event. My boyfriend told me that he'd awakened next to me and noticed that I was shaking and profusely sweating. He had tried to wake me, but received no response. He had previously been told by the diabetes educator to rub syrup inside my cheeks if I ever had extremely low blood sugar and was unable to eat. He did it, but in his panic he grabbed the sugar-free syrup. When I remained unresponsive, he called 911.
Later, I went to my diabetes educator to talk about what had happened. Other than being more careful about eating and making sure that my blood sugar numbers were at a safe range at bedtime, what could I do to make sure this scenario never happened again? She trained me on using glucagon so that I could show my loved ones and have a plan of action in times of severe hypoglycemia.
Knowing what to do in case of an emergency makes everyone feel less anxious. Today, even my teenage son is trained to use glucagon. One morning he woke for school and found that I was still in bed. He charged into my bedroom ready to take action with the glucagon kit, only to find that I was sleeping in because there was no school that day. I was so proud that even though he was nervous, he was ready to use the glucagon just as we'd shown him.
There are many videos available online that offer step-by-step tutorials for administering a glucagon injection. Occasionally my family watches one to refresh their memory. We have also used an expired kit make my son comfortable with actually mixing the shot and drawing the glucagon into the syringe, after which we discarded the expired glucagon.
Now when I ask my doctor for medication refills, I ask for a new glucagon prescription if my kit is close to the expiration date. Though I haven't needed one in the last fifteen years, my family and I feel better prepared and much safer having a glucagon kit in the house, just in case.

Bernanke's Test: Ben Bernanke, Alan Greenspan, and the Drama of the Central Banker by Johan Van Overtveldt
You walked into the living room last night and instantly, felt terror. Wide-eyed, you couldn't bear to approach the television. You were suffering from remotophobia, that fearfully sick, averse feeling you get when you use your TV's remote control. With one click, you turn on the national news and the ailing economy is all over the screen. You don't need to be reminded; you've already watched your wallet take a walloping.
It's easy to point fingers. There are scapegoats all over the place, but blaming isn't fixing. So, how did this happen and what can be done about it? Read the new book, "Bernanke's Test," by Johan Van Overtveldt, and things may become clearer.
Created in 1913, the Federal Reserve System was developed in the hopes that it would, in part, reduce financial instability and perform as the "government's banker." Politically controversial, this was the third attempt to create a central American bank.
During the Depression, Van Overtveldt says, the Fed stood, "idly by, while the American financial system collapsed … " American trust in the Fed was eroded and, in the end, the Treasury set monetary policy for the years after the Depression, until 1951. Inflation was "relatively under control," from post-World War II until the mid-1960s.
By the time Alan Greenspan took over as Fed chairman in 1987, the inflation rate had risen to uncomfortable levels, the U.S. had seen exorbitant interest rates come and go, and budget deficits were skyrocketing. As for his tenure as Fed chairman, Greenspan has been both lauded as, "The greatest central banker who ever lived," and condemned as the reason we're in a recession today.
To be fair, says Van Overtveldt, "Greenspan's tenure endured more than its share of serious crises," including a stock market crash, the tragedy of September 11 and the Enron scandal. Still, it's been said that if Greenspan had been more on-point, the sub-prime mortgage crisis wouldn't have happened.
Into the fray stepped Ben Bernanke, in 2006. His going-on-three-year tenure has, like his predecessors, not been without controversy. Like those before him, he's had supporters and detractors. He's made some off-base predictions and will continue to be tested by the economy, as it is. But, will Ben Bernanke pass or fail the test of history?
Reading at times like a stiff college thesis and suffering sorely from the lack of a glossary, "Bernanke's Test" is not one of those fun-filled books you can breeze through in a weekend. It's cavernously steeped in politics and high-level finance and takes some serious thought to understand.
Having said that, this is a very important book. Author and think-tank director Van Overtveldt explains the Fed in a way that's as lively and easy to understand as it can be. Though I was occasionally discombobulated, I did get caught up in the drama that Van Overtveldt promises in his subtitle.
Despite the possible difficulty understanding it fully, this is a book that all Americans–homeowners, anyone with a 401k and anyone who's employed–should at least attempt to struggle through. "Bernanke's Test" is a book you cannot pass up.
Up to No Good by Carl Weber
You can't hide it. You laugh a lot more these days, and there are very few things that rattle you. The sun seems shinier, colors are more vibrant and the days fly by in minutes. Even your body feels different, more alive; even electric, maybe. Everybody knows what you're thinking, maybe because you can't wipe that silly grin off your face. You're in love, and it shows.
But is that affection returned? In the new novel, "Up to No Good" by Carl Weber, love is often one-sided, and that can be really bad.
On the night before he married his beloved, Darnel Black got the shock of his life. His fiancé Keisha was naked in bed, and she wasn't alone. She was with Darnel's best friend, Omar, and they weren't just napping.
Tearfully, Keisha swore that it was a one-time-only thing. Darnel might have believed her, if it wasn't for Omar's bombshell: it wasn't Omar's first time with Keisha, and there were others.
For Darnel's father James, life was good. As a deacon at First Jamaica Ministries, in Queens, he was respected by the congregation's men. As for the church's women, successful, rich and handsome James could have any one of them he wanted–and did, every night of the week.
Then, James met Sandra. Beautiful and more than 20 years younger, Sandra was the first woman James ever really, truly, got to know. Reluctantly and amazingly, he realized he was falling in love.
The only problem was that Sandra was friends with Jamie, James' busybody daughter. Loud, bossy and a daddy's girl, Jamie tried to direct the lives of everyone around her. She wanted to keep her daddy away from predatory females, protect Darnel from Keisha and stop Louis, Jamie's boyfriend, from cheating on her, although Louis swore he wasn't creeping.
That made Louis angry. Why couldn't Jamie believe him? He loved her, but he gave her an ultimatum: stop the jealousy and snooping, or get out. He hoped he'd never have to explain the fake ID and mysterious "business" trips.
As anger eats away at Darnel and as James falls deeper in love and Louis, deeper in trouble, Jamie tries to manipulate the men in her life. But, when someone's up to no good, scheming only makes things worse.
Write this down: at about page 255, call your neighbors and tell them to ignore the screams they're about to hear. Tell them not to worry, it's just going to be you, finishing this latest, oh-no-he-didn't, novel by Weber.
Nobody twists a plot like Weber, and this book's story line practically spins. "Up to No Good" is the latest in a sort-of-series, dealing with the lives of the members of First Jamaica Ministries and its leader, Bishop T. K. Wilson. Although this book can stand alone, astute fans may recognize a few of the bit players in the novel.
If you're up for an outrageous story, something that will keep you up all night, pick up "Up to No Good," for your own bad self. This is a novel you're going to love.
The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer, who has been reading since she was 3 years old and never goes anywhere without a book. She lives on a hill in Wisconsin with two dogs and 11,000 books.

- Is Windows 8 Development Worth the Trouble?
- 8 Books Every IT Leader Should Read This Year
- 10 Hot Hadoop Startups to Watch
Network World - The most significant IT trends of 2013 are familiar -- mobility, cloud computing, social technologies and big data -- but the new year will bring a new urgency as enterprises look for vendors to move past exploratory roadmap stages and deliver genuinely competitive products and services, says research firm IDC in its annual predictions forecast.
2013 IT SALARIES: 15 titles getting the biggest pay raises
In the big picture, IDC says worldwide IT spending in 2013 will exceed $2.1 trillion, up 5.7% from 2012. The biggest driver of that growth will be mobility: Sales of smart mobile devices including smartphones and tablets will grow by 20%, generate 20% of all IT sales, and drive a whopping 57% of all IT market growth. Excluding smart mobile devices, IT industry growth will be just 2.9%.
The surge in mobility will lead to mobile devices surpassing PCs as the method of choice for online access. The number of people accessing the Internet through PCs will shrink by 15 million over the next four years, while the number of mobile users will increase by 91 million. In 2015, U.S. consumers accessing the Internet through mobile devices will outnumber those using PCs to access the Internet, IDC predicts.
Another driver of industry growth is emerging markets, where IT spending is projected to grow by 8.8% to more than $730 billion, or 34% of all IT spending. The rate of growth in emerging markets is twice that of developed countries, IDC says.
As vendors work to compete more aggressively in mobility, cloud, social and big data, market-share upheaval seems inevitable.
In software, for instance, SaaS vendors will grab one or more of the top share positions in the majority of the major application software markets within the next three years, IDC says. In servers, Amazon -- the largest cloud service provider -- will become a top 2 or 3 server/virtual machines vendor by 2016, the firm predicts.
Another example is in the data center arena, where converged systems and software-defined networks (SDN) will open the door for leadership shakeups. Specifically, the SDN market is forecast to reach $3.7 billion by 2016 and account for 35% share of Ethernet switching in the data center (up from almost negligible penetration in 2012). "Major networking vendors -- including Cisco, Juniper, Brocade, and HP -- are encountering both massive risk and major new opportunities to dominate what is becoming a radically new networking landscape," IDC asserts.
Also on the horizon, according to IDC's predictions:
* Mini tablet surge: The tablet market will grow by at least 42% to more than 170 million units in 2013. Mini tablets with screens smaller than 8 inches will account for as much as 60% of unit shipments, up significantly from 33% in 2012.
* Mobile platform rationalization: If a mobile platform doesn't get at least 50% of developers interested in developing apps on it, its demise is imminent. Vulnerable platforms include Microsoft, which today has attracted about 33% of developers, and RIM, which has about 9% developer interest.

Tired of "losing" things in your own kitchen? You can have a tidy, organized kitchen where everything is right where you need it – right now. Here's how to get started.
Start the cleaning process by purging your cabinets and drawers of gadgets you hardly ever use. Hang on to the tools that do many things well, like your blender, and consider ditching the cumbersome one-trick ponies (like that regrettable hard-boiled egg cooker). Donate the things you don't need, and place rarely used items in storage.
Once you've pared your inventory down, put items in places that make the most sense. Keep glassware and cups near the refrigerator or sink, utensils, spices and plates near the cooking area; mugs near the coffeemaker. You'll not only save space, you'll save steps, and that saves time.
Consider freeing up precious counter space by installing an under-cabinet coffeemaker, or one that installs directly into your cabinetry. Explore discreetly fitting microwaves, toaster ovens and can openers underneath your kitchen cabinets. Some manufacturers are coming up with even more creative solutions, like drawer-style microwave ovens and special fittings for cabinets that allow heavy stationary mixers to effortlessly swing down and out of the way when not in use.
Adding vertical dividers to your cabinets makes it easy to stack cookie sheets and cake pans. For lower cabinets, a simple spin of a Lazy Susan puts everything within reach. Small, inexpensive shelves can double your storage, allowing you to neatly organize the pantry. An under-the-sink caddy can store all your cleaning sprays and wipes.
Free up valuable cabinet and drawer space by installing hooks for coffee mugs and utensils under cabinets. Hang pots from an attractive rack on the ceiling. Make use of blank wall space or a backsplash by adding a utensil rack. Nest and stack pots, bowls and pans to maximize your storage space.
With every item in a designated place, there's no need for a "miscellaneous" catch-all space. Use small dividers to stop pencils, coupons and gadgets from jumbling together. Keep plastic grocery bags tidy by stuffing them into a dispenser.
If you can't seem to eliminate the piles of takeout menus, recipes torn out of magazines and other such paper clutter from your kitchen, at least contain them. Sort them into categories, put them into colorful file folders and stow them in magazine binders near your cookbooks.
Group items by how frequently you use them. Put your favorite cookware, dishes and glassware in the front of cabinets; store specialty cookware and less-frequently used appliances and utensils further away but easy to find when you need them.
Look for space-efficient appliances such as refrigerators that maximize interior space through strategically placed compartments; they'll make it easy to organize leftovers, large soda bottles and produce.
|A faucet with a water filtration system eliminates the need for a filter attachment or a filtration pitcher in the fridge.
|Sinks with a lower middle divider let you keep soaking pots and pans inside and off the counter.
|Soap/lotion dispensers provide convenience while reducing the number of bottles littering your countertops and under-sink storage.
|A secondary sink and a sink with a recessed wet surface can create whole new food-prep stations for the kitchen and help keep you organized.
|An instant hot water dispenser eliminates the need for boiling, making your teakettle one more pot you can do without.
|Simply designed faucets, often one-hole models, keep the back of the sink clutter-free and often include handy pullout or pull-down sprays.
|Rinse baskets are great for drying just a few pieces of glassware or small dishes below eye level. To cover sink contents, use custom-size cutting boards that look attractive and stay put.
|A remote-control sink strainer with its control dial mounted on the sink deck, keeps your hands dry and there's no stopper littering the sink area.

A smattering of small fishing boats can still be seen unloading every morning a short walk south of the main town on the dirt road parallel to the river. Given Kampot's proximity to the Vietnamese border, fish often isn't the only catch being unloaded, with smuggling -- particularly of cigarettes -- a handy extra earner for the fishermen.

A tale of betrayal, death and ghostly revenge will bewitch ballet goers from March 7th to 11th, 2012 when Canada's Royal Winnipeg Ballet transports audiences on an unearthly journey where classical ballet meets the supernatural. Eagerly awaited by audiences for a decade, Giselle returns to the Centennial Concert Hall with a newly refurbished set and costumes to create a haunting experience for longtime ballet fans and newcomers alike.
Choreographed by Peter Wright, this romantic-style 'ballet blanc,' which premiered at the Paris Opera Ballet in 1841, tells the story of a young peasant girl's love for a nobleman and her ultimate betrayal at his hands. Giselle's heartbreak and despair lead to her tragic demise, but she and the Wilis, the spirits of other jilted lovers, seek their revenge from beyond the grave as irresistible spirits of a deathly dance.
Principal Dancer Vanessa Lawson is thrilled to be revising her role as Giselle after a decade. Giselle was Lawson's break-out role 10 years ago and since then she has taken the ballet world by storm. She returns to this defining role after recovering from a lengthy injury and this time round Lawson brings a greater wealth of artistic and life experiences to the role.
In the following interview Lawson talks about what it takes to dance this demanding role and how she will bring something different to it this time around. "Now to do it 10 years later, with all the experiences I have had in dance, and life as well, will bring an entirely different side to it," said Lawson.
RWB Aspirants had a rare treat yesterday when La la la Human Steps dancers; William Smith and RWB School alumni Zofia Tujaka and Jason Shipley-Holmes held a workshop at the RWB. The two-day workshop gave Aspirants a glimpse of what a day of work might be like with leading contemporary choreographer Edouard Lock and his globe-trotting company La La La Human Steps.
Renowned choreographer and La la la Human Steps Artistic Director Edouard Lock made an appearance at day two of the workshop to bestow some words of wisdom on the young artists. "Think percussive, rhythmic, precision," Lock instructed the Aspirants. The company is famed for its intricate movements and breakneck performance speed and accuracy, and the workshop combined all those elements into some truly unique movement patterns.
"It was much more physical than I ever would have expected," said Aspirant Katie Bonnell. "The movements are sharp and intricate but they're not huge. It takes the skill of the performers to get the impressiveness of the movements across. I loved it – I never would have thought I'd have the chance to work with them and it was incredible."
"It was a great workshop," agrees Jera Wolfe. "They take ballet and classical lines and just mess with it and speed it up. It's amazing to dance. When we started learning it, it was a complete mess but then once you get it together it's incredible movement!"
Catch La la la Human steps in performance tonight at the Centennial Concert Hall as part of the WSO New Music Festival. Read more »
The RWB School Audition Tour will wrap up this Sunday in Winnipeg. It is the last chance for talented young dancers to try out for a coveted spot at the RWB School Summer Session. Level 7 Professional Division students Kylie Duggan and Filip Kurlowicz both know what it takes to make it in the Professional Division of the RWB School and they took some time out of their busy schedule to share some of their experience and wisdom with the hopefuls.
This video with Kylie and Filip also includes footage of them dancing the Grand Pas de Deux from The Sleeping Beauty, sheds some light on what it's really like to live and dance at the RWB.

Clearcoated Silver Finish. Featuring a machined lip, this wheel is completed in a bright silver painted finish that is clearcoated to protect against pitting, brake dust and road chips. Easy to clean and durable.
Lifetime Warranty: Our wheels have a lifetime structural warranty, which means you'll never have to worry about the workmanship of your new wheels.
1 Year Finish Warranty: Your new Mustang wheels have a 1 year warranty against defects in the finish of your wheels. Drive them daily, not just to the shows! For more information on wheel warranties, click here.Application. This SC Style Wheel fits the rear only of the 1987 to 1993 LX and GT Mustangs, does not fit SVT Cobra models.

Recommended Tire Size:
- 275-40-17 - 1987-1993 Mustang

Technical Note. Due to the limited space in the rear wheel wells of the 19791993 Fox Body Mustangs, the largest wheel we offer is a 17x10 wheel. This will allow for a larger tire, deeper lip and a more aggressive look. However, even with the correct wheel size and backspacing for the Fox Body, we highly recommend you flip or completely remove the rear quad shock for proper fitment. Slight rubbing may occur on the inside of the wheel and tire without this modification.
Free Mounting & Balancing: Professional mounting & balancing is available on all wheels and tires when purchased together on the same order, so you can just swap your wheels in your driveway when they arrive. We even offer Free Nitrogen tire fill (see option above).

SPARKS — A 46-year-old Idaho man was arrested Tuesday on I-80 east of Sparks after a Nevada Highway Patrol trooper found nearly 25 pounds of marijuana, 12 grams of methamphetamine and 1.6 grams of cocaine in his vehicle following a routine traffic stop.
At about 2:50 p.m., a trooper stopped Adam Castellanos of Boise, Idaho near mile marker 26, about six miles east of Sparks on I-80. Castellanos was driving a 2011 Chevrolet Impala four-door sedan and was stopped for following another vehicle too closely, said Trooper Chuck Allen, spokesman for the NHP.
The NHP trooper who stopped Castellanos immediately smelled "the odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle," Allen said.
"The trooper deployed his Department of Public Safety-NHP K-9 around the vehicle which alerted to the presence of narcotics," Allen reported. "The trooper then made a request for a telephonic search warrant from the Sparks Justice Court and it was granted."
Inside the vehicle, the trooper found the illegal narcotics and Castellanos was arrested without incident. He was taken to the Washoe County Detention Facility where he was booked on five felonies.
Castellanos is suspected of possession of marijuana, transport of marijuana, possession of marijuana with the intent to sell, trafficking in Methamphetamine and possession of cocaine. His bail is listed at $55,000 and he was still in custody Thursday, Allen said.

MECHANICVILLE, N.Y. -- There was fun for the whole family in Depot Square Sunday, where residents came out to celebrate the city's annual Family Day in the Park.
The event includes rides, face painting, a magic show, contests, crafts and a host of local vendors. A firework display will also take place at dusk.
This year, Family Day was moved from Tallmadge Park, the traditional location, due to recent weather conditions.

New guy on the board. I hope this is not an ignorant question but I have searched the posts and come up empty.
I am looking for parts to rebuild two WS-1s. Specifically the outboard o-rings on the stack, a few spring clips and a cap for the brine line. Having called a few vendors I can only source the entire stack w/ local installation and no luck on the other parts. Is there an internet source for these parts? Alternatively, is there anything special about these o-rings or can they be sourced from an industrial supplier?
If your interested the story:
I have two Clack WS-1 valves fitted to 12x52 tanks that the previous owner abandoned in the basement. I took them apart and they look pretty good.
On the first, configured as a backwashing filter, the stack looks good but one oring is nicked and should be replaced.
On the second, configured as a regenerating softener, the valve ways and stack are pretty dirty put look good overall. The inboard rings (white) look new. The outboard rings look horrible, flattened and discolored. Almost looks like red mud solution was run through the valve. Injectors look brand new as does the plunger.

Mujhay yeh poochna hai ke hum aksar buray waqt mein kufrana ya galat alfaz keh daytay hai aur phir bad mein pachta tay rehtay hai. Kya bad mein maafi mangne mar maafi mil sakti hai? Hum jantay hai ke mushkil mein aisa nahi bolna chahiyay galat kuch bhe but kabhe kabhe galat alfaz insan say nikal jatay hai aur woh maafi talab karta hai. Ek aur baat yeh ke gunah ke kam say har waqt bachay rehnay ka kya tareqa hai?

Allah ta'ala ko apne bande ki maafi mangne ki adat itni pasand hai ke usne kaha hai, agar is duniya mein sab itne achche honge ki kisi ko maafi mangni hi na paray to woh aise bande paida karega jo ghaltiyan karein phir uski maafi ke talabgaar hon.
istaghfaar ka matlab hai hum apni ghalati par pashemaan hain, sachcchay dil se uski maafi maang rahe hain, aur aaindah aisi harkat naa ho iski barjastah koshish kerenge.
Iske baad bhi agar hum ghalati kar baithte hain, so maanfi ka daar Allah ke yahan hamesha khula hai, jab tak hum is zindagi se rukhsat nahin ho jaate.
gunahon se bachay rahne ka tariqa yeh hai ke hum aise logon ke beech mein na rahein, aisi jagahon par naa jaayein jahaan humein ghalati ker baithne ke imkaanat hon.

I don't know if am back. Some of the old folks are still around, which means I would be tempted to poke my nose in some ongoing discussions.
Perhaps this person does not speak english well, thus written in Urdu.

Death from the Skies!
The Science Behind the End of the World
Philip Plait, Ph.D. - Author
Paperback | $17.00 | add to cart | view cart
ISBN 9780143116042 | 336 pages | 25 Aug 2009 | Penguin | 8.26 x 5.23in | 18 - AND UP

Summary of Death from the Skies! Summary of Death from the Skies! Reviews for Death from the Skies! An Excerpt from Death from the Skies!
With wit, humor, and an infectious love of astronomy that could win over even the science-phobic, this fun and fascinating book reminds us that outer space is anything but remote. The scientist behind the popular website badastronomy.com, Philip Plait presents some of the most fearsome end-of-the-world calamities (for instance, incoming asteroids and planet-swallowing black holes), demystifies the scientific principles at work behind them, and gives us the odds that any of them will step out of the realm of sci-fi to disrupt our quiet corner of the cosmos. The result is a book that is both terrifying and entertaininga tour of the violent universe we live in, written with an enthusiasm that every stargazer will appreciate."[Plait] describes each doomsday scenario with glee. . . . Yet for all that, his book is strangely comforting."
-The Washington Post Book World
" A surprisingly upbeat look at all the ways the universe can destroy us . . . Eminently readable."
-Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"The enthusiasm Plait has for his subject is not any morbid fascination with the upcoming bang or whimper, but with how much we know now about the universe around us, and he conveys this enthusiasm with pages full of wonder."

I applied through an employee referral and the process took 5 days - interviewed at Freescale Semiconductor.
Interview Details Submitted resume thru friend and on Web site, Followed thru with formal interview - all day interview on site with 3 managers and approximately 2 engineers; Was contacted about offer frmo HR and by mail.

Yup, the entire stock market rally is about FED "easing" meaning they are hiding all our national debt under the rug. First benefit is that libs can deny there is a debt problem. Other benefit is that it causes upward inflationary pressure on stocks.Stock market rally just about out of steam.

Faculty Barry Underwood | Christian Wulffen
As an extension of the Visual Arts and Technology Environment's goal that students develop the ability to generate self-directed work, the Department of Sculpture seeks to provide each student with opportunity to develop the skills and knowledge to identify and sustain an independent practice. This course is designed to increase student awareness of the current art discourse and the ability to use that knowledge as a means of awareness within the production of their own work. This educational process embraces a variety of approaches to basic problem-solving skills measured against the contemporary practices of the discipline. In cooperation with a major-day faculty, students are expected to develop what is often their first significant independent work. For BFA students the focus of this course centers on artistic production, conditions of conveyance and Presentation. Required at the senior level for all sculpture majors for BFA development and open to junior level sculpture students as an elective offering for independent research open to all other students at the junior and senior levels. Offered spring.

I got far too many chocolates, a few DVDs and a ferret calendar.
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

Check this out! I wanted a book bag to carry my calculus book in. I got one and it looks so much like my calculus book, you'd think it was made for it!

Is 11 old enough to have first kiss? Very mature!?
Do it don't worry!If you really like him and he really likes you it won't matter!!!
The best advice I can think of is to wait and see - don't kiss somebody just because you want to know what kissing is like. They may expect more from you (I mean commitment-wise, not physically). Wait until you find somebody who attracts you, and who is also attracted to you.
You're going on a cruise? I guess holiday romances are as good a time as any to learn the basics, but remember to respect yourself and the other person. Be aware that whoever you hook up with will probably not want to carry on the relationship after the cruise, especially by email/msn. I believe you are probably old enough for kissing, but going any further is not wise, and probably not legal.
And take your gum out before you kiss.
