Chapter V
As a business owner or manager, you have ultimate accountability for the safety and health of your employees. You cannot delegate this accountability to others in your company. You can, however, expect others to share the responsibility for certain elements of the safety and health program.
If you own or manage a small operation, you may be questioning why you should share the responsibility for safety and health. You have a strong working knowledge of your business' everyday problems, and you are close to your employees. However, as your business grows and your workforce increases, being responsible for all the details of an effective safety and health program may become less feasible. It will be important to have a mechanism for delegating some of that responsibility.
For managers of large organizations, a method of clearly assigning safety and health responsibilities, authority and resources is an absolute necessity.
We recommend that you make use of written job descriptions. These documents can effectively:
- Clarify the specific safety and health responsibilities and authority of individuals, and
- Distribute responsibilities between supervisors and rank and file employees.
In this Chapter we discuss how to develop useful job descriptions that spread safety and health responsibilities throughout your organization. You will need to:
- Review your existing organizational structure,
- Decide what part each position should play in your total safety and health program and what level of authority and resources will be needed,
- Decide and assign the responsibilities for each position, and
- Discuss assigned responsibilities with the people involved.
An individual job description describes the most important characteristics and responsibilities of a position. An organization's job descriptions, when viewed collectively, describe the total company structure and work systems including the safety and health management system.
You may already have written job descriptions for all the positions in your company. This chapter will help you develop a safety and health section to add to these personnel documents and to include in your overall safety and health program. While some small businesses do not rely on written job descriptions, we believe that written statements are preferable to oral assignments with respect to safety and health responsibilities. Carefully written documents:
- Remove any doubt about the responsibilities and authority of each position;
- Enhance communication and coordination among jobs;
- Aid in determining whether all responsibilities have been accounted for within the organization and whether new tasks and responsibilities should be assigned; and
- Aid in developing job performance objectives and establishing performance measurements.
Within every business there are people who should be involved in carrying out the safety and health program. On a sheet of paper of a form like the Appendix 5-1 Worksheet, list all the positions in your business. Use a separate sheet for each position. (You can group similar positions later.) See Appendix 5-2 for descriptions of the basic positions normally involved in a safety and health program.
What role do you want each position or group of positions to play in your safety and health program? What level of authority will the person holding this position need? Write a general statement will correspond to the first three entries on the Appendix 5-1 Worksheet.
While authority is built into managerial and supervisory positions, you may want to make changes specifically relating to your safety and health program. If so, be sure you clearly state the scope of authority by showing supervisory relationships, the amount of money the position holder can spend or any other measures that describe what a person in this position can do without obtaining further approval. At this stage do not attempt to describe in detail each job's specific safety and health tasks. Here are some examples of safety and health roles:
- The Owner: establishes and provides the leadership and resources for carrying out the stated company safety and health policy.
- Managers and Supervisors: maintain safe and healthful working conditions within their respective jurisdictions.
- Employees: exercise care within their work to prevent injuries to themselves and to their co-workers.
- Visitors, Vendors, Customers, and Subcontractors: comply with all safety and health regulations while on the premises.
The people with responsibility in the following areas may have some additional general duties:
- Safety: be fully responsible to the owner or manager for the direction and day-to-day operation of the safety and health policy.
- Engineering: ensure that all equipment that could affect the safety and health of employees is selected, installed and maintained in a way that eliminates or controls potential hazards.
- Purchasing: ensure that safety and health equipment and materials are purchased in a timely manner; and that new materials, parts and equipment are analyzed for potential hazards so that preventive measures or controls can be implemented; and that such materials, parts and equipment are obtained in accord with all applicable safety and health requirements.
You have decided who should be involved in your safety and health program. Now you need to develop written statements that specify what each person must do to help you meet program goals. This corresponds to the last entry on the Appendix 5-1 Worksheet.
Refer to Appendix 5-2, for some suggested safety and health responsibilities of several categories of employee. This is appropriate wording for job descriptions. Which of these responsibilities fit into your program? At what authority level and to which specific positions within your business should these responsibilities be assigned.
When writing out responsibilities for non-supervisory employees, be careful not to confuse these responsibilities with specific work rules and safe work practices. A brief, general statement about the employee's responsibility to understand and follow rules and safe work practices is more appropriate.
You should delegate the details for carrying out your safety and health program to the same people who are responsible for plant operations and production. In this way you build safety and health into the complete management system as firmly as production. Be sure that each assigned responsibility comes with the authority and resources needed to fulfill it.
After you have clarified the safety and health responsibilities of each position you must discuss this information to your employees. You may find it useful to combine all these written statements of safety and health responsibility into a single document. Then post it or circulate it to all employees involved. Discuss the job descriptions and responsibilities in face-to-face meetings with the employees who will be responsible for carrying out the program. Keep a copy of this document and periodically refer to it when meeting with employees for performance reviews.
For your safety and health program to succeed you need to delegate responsibility to specific positions, departments and staff levels within your company. Follow these steps:
- Review your existing structure.
- Decide what part each job position should have within the overall safety and health program, and what authority and resources are needed to carry out this role.
- Determine and assign safety and health responsibilities and write these responsibilities into each position's job description.
- Communicate with the employees involved by discussing the responsibilities and authority in face-to-face meetings and circulated documents.

Papaverine may also be useful in treating conditions involving spasms of the intestines and urinary tract.
Papaverine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

MP MAX® BCAA 1500 is a high potency formula containing a massive 1500mg (per tablet) of the amino acids L Leucine, L Isoleucine, and L Valine. These 3 amino acids make up approximately 35% of muscle protein, making them essential for tissue growth, strength and recovery.
BCAAs are not like other amino acids as they are not metabolised in the stomach, and are instead metabolised directly in the muscle. This unique quality means they are crucial for building lean tissue and preventing muscle wastage. BCAAs can also be used by your muscles as a direct source of energy when glycogen levels are depleted.
MP MAX® BCAA 1500 contains the ideal 2:1:1 ratio of L Leucine, L Isoleucine, and L Valine whilst also containing the synergistic ingredient Vitamin B6. No other BCAA product on the market crams this much BCAA in to such a small tablet!
Take 2 tablets, 2-3 times per day. For optimal results take 2 tablets 30 minutes prior to exercise and 2 tablets straight after exercise. Do not exceed directions for use. Store in a cool dry place out of sight and reach of children.
Serving size: 2 Tablets.
Servings per container: 60
BCAA Prep (L Isoleucine, L Valine, L Leucine (2:1:1) 2% HPMC), Bulking Agent (Microcrystalline Cellulose), Anti Caking Agent (Magnesium Stearate), Disintegrating Agent (Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose), Binder (Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone), Vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxine Hydrochloride).
Free from artificial colours and preservatives, yeast, gluten, starch and lactose. No added salt or sugar. GMO free.
Amount Per 2 Tablet Serving:BCAA: 3000mg (1500mg L Leucine, 750mg L Isoleucine, 750mg L Valine)Vitamin B6: 18mg (1285% RDA*)*RDA = Recommended Daily Allowance
Recovery time
- (11 / Feb / 2014)
I have been using these for about 2 months whilst hitting the gym harder than I ever have and I can say they have given me much better recovery times and less soreness. I like the fact they are a high dosage crammed into two tables. Yes the tablets are quite big but knocking them back with a shake is no problem at all. I would recomend these to anyone serious about training hard. I will use these for the foreseeable futureGoes Well With:creatine
Effective and very well priced product, downside is that the tablets are very hard to take, its not the size but they are powder dry and they stick in your throat.
- (06 / Feb / 2014)
These are a great product you can see the difference.Goes Well With:Anything
Great amino acids
- (05 / Feb / 2014)
These beauties do exactly as they claim to. Doms is a thing of the past and recovery time is now reduced to hours rather than a day or 2. I Take 2 straight before and 2 straight after training and I don't ache after the pump has subsided. In fact after training heavily I want to train again, the recovery time being slashed using these aminos makes my appetite to get down the gym even greater.Goes Well With:Total protein, whey protein isolate.
- (27 / Jan / 2014)
I have not started using this product, but the delivery was fast and good!
- (21 / Jan / 2014)
I've only been taking these for three weeks now, already noticing lean gains. Great product.Goes Well With:Creatine, impact whey protein
Been using them for about 3 months now, excellent muscle recovery and I have noticed a decent increase in muscle mass when I take 2 before and 2 after workout with impact whey.
Although the tabs are large in size it has the max BCAA as compared to any other brand of tabs. I've checked Holland and Barrett but 3-4 of their tabs would give you as much as 1 of these would.
Definitely will buy again.Goes Well With:Impact whey, instant oats or just plain water
They work!
- (14 / Jan / 2014)
Used these for a while, muscle growth is noticeably increased, less fatigue, quicker recovery..
- (14 / Jan / 2014)
Great product, I am sure they have made a difference, I take two before and two after a work out and then two with bedtime extreme before bed. Goes Well With:shakes
Best of its kind!
- (13 / Jan / 2014)
Best of its product I have found, will be using this continuously nowGoes Well With:Water
Excellent product 5*
- (10 / Jan / 2014)
Have noticed considerable gains in muscle mass since using this product. Very easy to swallow and no nasty after taste. I highly recommend this product to others!Goes Well With:Water, Juice, Milk, anything really.
Seem to work
- (06 / Jan / 2014)
Not been taking these long but it does seem to help recovery times after a heavy workout. Unsure on any gains yet.Goes Well With:water
- (16 / Dec / 2013)
WOW, this stuff is super awesome. It blew my mind how great it is. I would describe this pot of BCAA's as on par with skydiving into a strip club, covered in chocolate buttons.....yes...that awesome.
At first the B's and the C's rocked my world like a hurricane but then came the A....and just when you think you've had enough...BAMM! another A! right in the chops and before you know it your head is spinning with how amazetastic you feel.
I take this pile of greatness everyday and it feels like a gigantic lump of fantastic all over my face and then slapped against my cheek.
I would recommend this pot of BCAA's to anyone who wants to take BCAA's or is just plain awesome and wants to be even more super awesome...a handful of these bad boys and you should feel the effect of the awesome pills in mere seconds!
Rock on!Goes Well With:being awesome
- (16 / Dec / 2013)
Only been using for two weeks, no problem with swallowing as others have said, they slide down quite easy with water or a shake. Only a short time using them but think there is more definition and quicker recovery. Would recommend so far, will review after longer period of usage. Goes Well With:hard work.
- (10 / Dec / 2013)
Very useful for intermittent fasting or simply working out fasted in the morning, especially when on a lower carb diet, Also I have noticed it helps with recovery and muscle soreness.Goes Well With:Coconut oil, MCT oil
- (18 / Nov / 2013)
The BCAA 1500 is awesome!
Very Effective
Dan Watts
- (12 / Nov / 2013)
Bought these on the basis of how important Amino Acids are so important when building muscle.
I take 2 before & 2 after training - I also take L-Glutamine 2/3 times a day too so I am pretty much covering all the bases with my main essential amino acids.
I have been on them for about 2 months and although you don't actually feel any different taking them, I have started noticing certain muscles popping out a bit more. I am not changing my routine really and doing similar weights but I have noticed more striation on the fibres...My chest, shoulders, arms are all becoming a bit more defined.
Whether this is down to taking more amino acids, I don't know but something is happening and for that I give this 5 stars!Goes Well With:L-Glutamine & Water
very good bcaa
- (12 / Nov / 2013)
You can`t go wrong with this bcaa... good price too
Trying It
- (01 / Nov / 2013)
For me at the moment it seems to assist it completing longer runs and general muscle recovery however slight issue with wind.
Follow up
- (21 / Oct / 2013)
Reviewed these after a few days of using them, they still seem good but I am going to be buying a different BCAA combo in future just because I stopped noticing the difference after a little while (120 caps over 2 weeks). Might be worth looking at a cheaper alternative because most trainers recommend anything up to around 20caps per workout which makes these very expensive.Goes Well With:WATER!!!
Good but big!
Squashed Fly
- (16 / Oct / 2013)
Got these to try and help speed up weight loss a bit. So far seem to be ok. They are quite big pills though! Other than that they are reasonably priced and seem to do what they say.Goes Well With:Water
- (11 / Oct / 2013)
Excellent product starting to feel more definition would buy again.
- (10 / Oct / 2013)
Only just started using the BCAA 1500 but they seem to be working.
New user
- (09 / Oct / 2013)
I started using these BCAA 1500 2 weeks ago with my new high rep/medium weight routine. I seem to be noticing a good level of recovery which I was missing from not having enough cals on my cutting diet.Goes Well With:Creatine caps.
- (30 / Sep / 2013)
BCAA 1500 is a great product, I've had no issues with it other than the size of the pill but you get used to it. As long as you use it with a good diet I've seen some signs of results after a few weeks, I will definitely be buying it again.
- (27 / Sep / 2013)
BCAA 1500 is a great product. Buy it and you won't be disappointed!
- (16 / Sep / 2013)
Works well for me and has really helped in performance.
BCAA - first timer
- (02 / Sep / 2013)
Got these as recommended from a work colleague - they do seem to do the job and I'd mark them higher but for the fact that I'm a wuss for taking any tablets - consequently the relatively large tablets were a struggle for me.
I'm now on the powdered form and happy with that!
ClarkyGoes Well With:Whey Protein
- (23 / Aug / 2013)
I take these BCAA 1500 on heavy weight training days and running days and never seem to have DOMS. They are neutral in taste but quite large, so it's a bit of art to learn to swallow them when you first use them. Otherwise they seem excellent.
Immediate results
- (20 / Aug / 2013)
Within a couple of days of starting BCAA 1500 I noticed heightened alertness and concentration, improved endurance during runs and an overall decrease in muscle soreness after running and weights work. It has definitely worked for me. The pills are a good size but not hard to swallow, have no taste and have had no side effects other than the positive ones I have listed. I'm very happy with the results so far.
- (20 / Aug / 2013)
I have been on BCAA for about a month now. I've already noticed a big change in my performance at the gym. I will highly recommend it.Goes Well With:L-glutamine
Good results
- (06 / Aug / 2013)
I have been using BCAA 1500 for about 2 months now and getting definite results. Lifting more on a regular basis, seeing visible gains in definition and they also seems to be helping shift some stubborn body fat.
They are quite large so make sure you have lots of liquid handy!
Good product and reasonably priced.Goes Well With:Creatine
- (06 / Aug / 2013)
BCAA 1500 are cracking tablets. They're really helping with lean body development. I'm happy with my purchase.
Beastly results!
- (30 / Jul / 2013)
Started takening BCAA's after reading a Men's Health arttical from a pro rugby play that took the pre training. Must admit great results on bulking and cutting pre beach body. Definitely get these in your kit bag. A+Goes Well With:Pulse V4
- (29 / Jul / 2013)
BCAA 1500 is great for maintaining muscle while doing steady state cardio. It seems to harden muscle as well. Its easy to take and handy in pill form to take towards the end of a resistance workout for an extra (almost) fasted cardio session without catabolisation.
- (23 / Jul / 2013)
BCAA 1500 is a very useful product.
- (21 / Jul / 2013)
Effective. I have noticed a lean gain with usual heavy weight training and proper nutrition. It is a supplement, you still need to work hard to get the results.
So far so good
- (19 / Jul / 2013)
I take these BCAA 1500 tablets 2 before a workout and 2 after. I've just started them really so not sure yet. They haven't made me ill so, so far so good!Goes Well With:A drink to wash them down with...
- (15 / Jul / 2013)
BCAA 1500 are a great help when dieting.
- (14 / Jul / 2013)
BCAA 1500 is great for fasted cardio to stop muscle catabolisation. It's also great for when weights training is coming to an end and you want to do a bit of extra, essentially fasted cardio to finish off. Just pop a couple out of your pocket and there you go. At the very least BCAAs take a bit of the emphasis off straight protein supplementation, it's very handy though not to be used without consideration unless you've got money to burn.Goes Well With:hard smart training
- (09 / Jul / 2013)
The BCAA 1500 tablets are huge but when taken one at a time it's no problem at all. The early indications seem to be positive as I have maintained muscle mass during my efforts to lose fat.
- (08 / Jul / 2013)
Amazing! Stacked with Impact Whey = Boss Results
very good
- (01 / Jul / 2013)
BCAA 1500 are my first choice for BCAAs. They're excellent value for money and a quality product. I take them before and after training.
- (24 / Jun / 2013)
I first took BCAA 1500 as I heard they would help with my recovery and strength, and they were right. I have currently been having 3 servings of 2 tablets per day for 2 weeks now, and even in that short space of time I have felt a huge improvement. Before I had taken these, after a tough strength session the next day would be pretty much horrific. The feeling of not being able to get out of bed, get out a chair or walk up the stairs without whining like an 80 year old. Since I have taken BCAAs this has vastly improved. I now feel a lot fresher the day after a workout, even if it was gruelling at the time, and even feel I can take on more training because my body is capable of it. Within myself I feel stronger which is no doubt another positive from this brilliant supplement.
The only bad thing I would have to say about it is the tablet sizes are pretty big, so if you find it hard to swallow big capsules or tablets (which I do not) this will be a tough one for you.
I would recommend this to anyone who is dedicated about their training and wants to get more out of their strength, gain strength and feel generally awesome!Goes Well With:Water
Much Needed BCAA's
Chris P
- (21 / Jun / 2013)
BCAAs are a much needed supplement for the training I do and these certainly work in aiding recovery and reducing the ache of a tough session!
BCAA 1500 are the biggest BCAAs I've ever had to swallow and the taste is a little chalky but to be honest they're not in your mouth for that long so it's not a real issue, unless you have trouble swallowing tablets normally!Goes Well With:A big swig of something to help it down
great stuff
- (20 / Jun / 2013)
You need BCAA'S to build.
- (13 / Jun / 2013)
Great value for money, doesn't taste amazing and is a little powdery but generally easy to swallow and very convenient for pre/post workoutGoes Well With:Impact Whey, Creapure, Calcium Caseinate
- (12 / Jun / 2013)
I think these BCAA 1500 are very effective at a reasonable price and they help with all my training requirements.
Overall a good product
- (11 / Jun / 2013)
I've been using these tablets for just over two weeks, I'm noticing a slight improvement and hope to notice more with time. Goes Well With:water, protein shakes, milk, anything.
Richie Franklin
- (10 / Jun / 2013)
Once you get used to the size of BCAA 1500 they are perfect.
Don't try and break in two to swallow - it makes it worse. The smooth design helps them go down with a decent mouthful of fluid.Goes Well With:Water / Milk
L Glutamine
MP MAX Creapure Micronized Creatine
Nitro Extreme

Is Internet Marketing A Business Or Hobby For You?Sunday, January 2nd, 2011
While there are many who claim to work in Internet marketing, the sad truth is that a great percentage of those are actually treating it as more of a hobby than as an actual, fire-breathing, expanding business concern. They may not even be aware of this, but simply operate each day, week, and month content in the "knowledge" that they are making Internet marketing their life's work. Well, there are tell-tale signs that you should be aware of, to be able to not only fend off the ragged tags of amateurism, but to begin truly building something that will last beyond this month. Let's take a look at some of these clues.
- Not Setting Goals – If you are truly interested in achieving something, you set goals to help you get there. There is no better way to do it. You treat these seriously, not writing them on January 1 and pulling them out again the next New years. You treat them as living, breathing encouragers to help you get to the next level.
- An Extreme Lack Of Focus – One of the hallmarks of an IM hobbyist is the inability to focus on any one task, niche, or market for any appreciable length of time. Once your goals are set, focus in on them until they are achieved. Don't skip all over the map "trying" every shiny new toy or program that comes down the pike.
- Not Investing In Your Business – No one spends money on something they're not interested in, right? So it goes with your business. If you have a vested interest in seeing this thing through to success, you will make strategic, well thought-out investments that will affect your bottom line. This doesn't mean buying every new thing that comes along: use your business investment dollars to advance the current direction of your business in a fruitful way; nothing more!
- Not Leveraging – If you are trying to go it alone, you will take forever to get there (unless you are very fortunate or VERY talented). Everyone needs help, whether that comes in the form of outsourcing, a partner, employees, or some other source. Don't attempt to go it alone!
- Avoiding The Hard Things – This is the one that let's you know you're treating your Internet marketing as a business and not a hobby. If you will summon the guts to tackle the hard nuts of traffic generation and list building, this indicates a desire to take this beyond the level of hobby and turn it into something that you be able to pass down to your children.
Do you need to look at any of these, and make some changes in the way you do things? No time like the present!

If leaves pop off a succulent readily, that's a clue that those leaves probably are capable of generating roots and new little plants. Like these of Sedum rubrotinctum 'Aurora'.
Notice how the original leaf has wrinkled as its life-giving fluids have gone into leaf and root production? I love the beadlike quality of the new little leaves, and the way the original leaf contains everything needed to create life. Interesting, too, that where the leaf was attached to the stem, the cellular tissue can form both leaves and roots. Continue Reading →

So the iron is below the .3 or stain level...
Hardness is not really there..
So why is it really that you are looking for a softener?
apologize for having to repost with different user name, but tried and tried to log on, even created a new account a couple of times in order to try and respond to post about my question about ge or whirlpool that you buy at lowes.
Here is my water test result from feb of 2010, right after this, i shocked the well with a product called well safe, and behold everything cleared up until about 2 months ago, now the red is back, i plan on getting my water tested again, but here was the first results, actually saw a water test at lowes, is that as good as dropping it off at the local plumbing supply house
ph - 6.46, hardness - 1.59 GPG(grains per gallon), Iron (fe) - .28 Fe, i called whirpool and was told that i had soft water all ready but they recommended the whirpool WHES30, i was looking at the WHES40, but was told it would be too big due to results of my water test. I then called the local plumbing house where i had the original test done and was told that they recommended a Macclean CWS100ME, but they also told me i may need a seperate iron filter, all of this came to about 2000 dollars, whirlpool told me that if i used the salt pellets designed for iron water that i would not need a seperate iron filter due to the results. the whirlpool folks did suggest that i get my water tested again, because the result paper that i got did not look right since i have red staining in my toilet bowls, i have purchased a extra large ge whole house filter that i am going to use to replace the small standard filter that i have and hoping that it may work very well, the reason i have the red stains is because we normally changed the cheap standard filter every saturday, but i had to work in honduras for a couple of months and wife did not change the filter, and when i came home never thought about it, actually thinking about shocking the well again and this time do it more like the instructions say, last time, my neighbor who is a plumber (but has now passed away in the last few months) kept telling me i was wasting my time, that i needed a system like he had, that cost around 2500, well after i was done, couple of weeks later ran a glass of water, showed it to him and he was actually amazed at how the red was gone and the back of the toilet bowls where crystal white after i cleaned out the brown sand like residue, which is what i read would happen to iron bacteria after you shock it with chlorine, what are the professional thoughts on this, trying to learn more now that i have to do most of my own plumbing. thanks for any input or advice
So the iron is below the .3 or stain level...
Hardness is not really there..
So why is it really that you are looking for a softener?
not sure if i really need one, going to have my water tested again, for some reason i am not sure that the plumbing company that i went to did not get my test sample confused with a couple of others. I have a whole house cartridge filter that gets clogged up only after about a week or two, depending upon how many loads of clothes my wife washes that week. The filter is red. At the moment, i think i may have iron bacteria because back around may of 2010 i did the shock treatment with a product called safe well, and it cleared my water up until about a couple of months ago. The water was pretty clear and the red stains in the back of the toilets turned into a sand like brown mixture in the bottom of the bowl, which is what i was reading on the forums would happen to iron bacteria if it is shocked. I saw a water test kit at lowes and going to go by this weekend and take a look and see if test for iron bacteria. I am going to look at putting a GE Large Size Whole house water filter on that i picked up at home depot to replace the standard size unit that i now have. The reason i was looking at the softner is because when i was lowes getting some filter i saw the whirlpool units and they said they could filter 10 ppm of iron, i called them and they said that it did it by doing a extra back flush, and if you use the salt that is designed for iron that i also saw at lowes and home depot that it should clear up the iron that i have, just not sure if it will do anything for iron bacteria. I have seen these units by searching the net that inject chlorine down your well a little at a time, but do not know much about them. Thanks for advice and assistance.
Check into a BIRM filter. It stands for Best Iron Removal Media. It does not use a regenerante. You set it to backwash every couple of days.
Before you get any filter i would suggest getting another sample taken of your water by your local water proffesional or an independant lab or you can contact your local university and they might do it for you. What you are saying your test results are and what you are experiencing are different enough to be suspicious about the original test results. If you have staining yes you probably need filtration of some kind but if you have iron bacteria the most effective method of treatment should be determined after a full water makeup. Mind you a little cost upfront can save you a whole lot down the road.
Thanks, i agree, does anyone know of a good way to know if the red is iron, iron bacteria, or sediment, i know the dirt around here is mostly a red clay type work and all of my problems started about 10 years ago when a larger central storage tank was put in for a development up the road from where i live, and it does appear to be more of a issue at times. Also, what about the water test kits you get at lowes? Only seen them, not really read anything on them. I do plan on changing out the small filter with the larger whole house ge filter until i can get everythig tested again, but do not think i will go back to the plumbing supply house.
You can't use year old test results. I'd use the supply house for new tests but wouldn't buy any water treatment from them based on what they proposed.
IRB causes a clear to black slime in toilet tanks at and below the water line.
You shouldn't be using a disposable cartridge filter ahead of the softener. It won't remove ferrous soluble clear water iron anyway, just rust particles if any and then it starves the softener for backwash water. So remove the cartridge and let the housing collect particles.

CAUTION, as of Nov 12 2013 all YouTube videos showing how to rebuild a Clack valve have an error in them that can cause damage.
I do not have a clear black line, I plan on trying to install the large ge whole house filter that uses the larger filters until i can get my water tested and hope it will help clear up the water a little better or least not have to be changed so often. I will be working out of town for the next couple of months and the wife does not deal with the changing of the filter. Gary, would the water test kits that they sell at lowes be a good way to retest the water. here is the results that i had in feb of 2010, before i shocked the well and everything cleared up and the back of the toilets and inside the toilets stayed white as long as i changed the filter every week, but went at least 4-6 weeks before it got changed because i had to work in el salvador.
PH - 6.46, TDS-52.8, turbidity - 1.0, hardness - 1.59, iron(fe) - .28, maganese <.05, copper - .06, sodium - 6.09, tannin <0.10, alkalinity - 40.
The comments at the bottom where - Equipment Recommendation - Aqua pure backwashing filter CBF100 w/ media N-10p
Then it says - whenever ph is increased by means of a filter, hardness will also increase, a softner should be installed after the filter, especially if the home utilizes a tankless water heater.
Also, what is the correct way to take a sample of your water, is it to go at the tank that i have under my house and open the faucet and pour it in a plastic bottle and then seal the bottle? Also, since when i shocked the well it cleared up the red in the water for a few months would that suggest that i have iron bacteria? To be honest, really confused and not exactly sure which direction to take, every plumber i talk to around the house tells me a different thing, one suggest a filter, then softner, and not really knowing, doing a lot of reading on here and your web site to try and make the correct choice. Thanks to everyone for advice.
Not a clear black line, look and feel for slime that can be clear to black in color at and below the water line in your toilet tanks.
The home test kits are not that good for first time testing, use the plumbing supply house; it's accurate testing and inexpensive.
Yes use the drain on the pressure tank after running some water out of it, and fill the bottle so there is no air in it.
Sad to say that most plumbers do not know much about water treatment; use a water treatment dealer, preferably an independent dealer instead of a national or regional brand type.

Thanks for advice, i am going to get my water retested as you suggested. What i have a hard time telling about the red residue in the bottom of my toilets, or the red something that clogs up the in line whole house filter after a few weeks, is what it really is. I changed the filter in it last night with one of the regular white cartridge filters and when i take the old one out it is red and if you pick it up or touch it, it gets on your hands, and i am not sure if it is iron or if it is mud. I do know that most of the dirt around here if you dig down below the top soil is a red clay type, could it be that is what is causing my red in the water and clogging up the filter. If i have another test and it comes back with a trace of iron, but still have filters that will clog up and be red when you take them out, how do you know what it is? Sure wish you was close to winston salem nc.
I'm not challenging the water treatment experts, just adding my experience and what I've been told. I'm not sure my water quality guy is giving me accurate info. I get a black, coal oil like slime and was told it was manganese but suspect iron and/or sulfur bacteria.
When my iron filter isn't working right or when I am cleaning out my softener with Iron Out, I get a distinct odor like one smells with a bloody nose and I'm sure that is the smell of iron.
My first clue that my water had iron was that while it drew clear from the well, if left in an open pail exposed to air, it would turn reddish as if I mopped up a murder scene. It would also develop an oily like sheen on the surface and smell like sulfur. Pretty disgusting stuff.
As for softeners being able to treat for iron, I'm of the personal opinion that it is the wrong tool for the job, that the iron tends to muck up the softener bad enough to shorten its life despite the use of iron fighting salt. Iron, IMHO should be trapped before the softener.
You can take a sample to a lab but it would probably be pricey to have them tell you what it is but, it's probably iron that has been oxidized in the plumbing or well, into ferric iron called rust. And that will reduce the amount of ferrous iron found with an iron test because that test doesn't test for ferric iron which is a particulate.

CAUTION, as of Nov 12 2013 all YouTube videos showing how to rebuild a Clack valve have an error in them that can cause damage.
Gary, Is time a factor when sending a sample off to a lab for testing? My local guy just has some sort of drops that turn the water a particular colour. Would drawing water that has gone through the micronizer reduce its shelf life for testing? The nearest city is a 4 or 5 hour drive in either direction.
Yes time is critical for certain water tests. No sample over 30 hrs old for bacteria tests. There should be no air in the bottle for iron, manganese, H2S or pH tests.
You can't take samples for iron, manganese, H2S or pH testing after an air injection venturi because the oxidation has already been done or has started which would reduce the amounts and thereby cause incorrect data to be used to adjust equipment etc.. Same for a solution feeder feeding any type of disinfectant or oxidizer. You have to use raw/untreated water from before any type of injector/venturi or other water treatment equipment.

thanks for info, i just finished installing the GE Larger capacity water filter, had to get the more dense filter for it because the water had red tinit that was coming through the paper filter. I also installed a new 40-60 pump switch, so now have great water pressure and water is clear. Here is where i am confused, i ran water into a clear glass yesterday morning, and tonight, that water is still clear, so i am thinking my red tint in my water may just be good old mud, or the fact that the dirt around here if you dig down deep below the top layer is red clay. Myself and the neighbors have the same problem in our water ever since a development was put in about us about 15 years ago with a centra water system and a large storate tank, could it be that we are all on the same main, but i also own the house across the road from me and it is on the water system and it is clear, have to travel out of town tomorrow so will be a couple of weeks before i can send off a water test, but could it just be red clay or mud. Thanks

One of our favorite rigs joins the fleet
Having won our 2010 Pickup Truck of the Year competition (Mar. '10), the staff highly anticipated getting our hands on a Ram Power Wagon for our long-term fleet. Our Bright Silver Metallic truck arrived to replace our much-loved '09 Ram TRX4 and gave us an opportunity to sample Ram's light-duty and heavy-duty lineup, back-to-back.
Ram's HD line-up was refreshed for the 2010 model year with a new body style, a true Crew Cab option and an interior based on the light-duty trucks, however, much of the underpinnings remained the same. One important change that makes a very big difference in comfort is the addition of hydraulic body mounts that smooth out ride motions and recalibrated suspensions. The 5.7L Hemi V-8 also received a power bump from 355 horsepower and 395 lb-ft of torque to 383 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque.
Other than being 7.5 inches longer overall by virtue of an 8.5-inch-longer wheelbase to support a true Crew Cab, the 2010 version of the Power Wagon will be familiar to any Power Wagon fan. The Power Wagon still features 4.56:1 gearing, front and rear selectable lockers (the rear is a helical limited-slip when not locked), an electronically disconnecting sway bar, precisely tuned Bilstein shocks, and a hidden 12,000-pound Warn winch behind the front bumper. A set of 17x8-inch forged aluminum wheels and 33-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A tires round out the package. New to the Power Wagon for 2010 are retro-style graphics that will ensure no one mistakes this truck for a common-man Ram. The Power Wagon still offers big time capability with a 1,940-pound payload capacity and a 10,300-pound tow rating.
In addition to the Power Wagon package ($6,350), we ordered our truck with Power Premium Cloth 40/20/40 seats ($900), Luxury Group ($345), Technology Group ($495), Security Alarm ($150), Media Center 730N Radio ($1,255), Power Adjustable Pedals ($125), Remote Start System ($185), Under-the-Rail Box Bedliner ($245), and the Rear Seat Video System ($1,696). Realizing that we had failed to order the backup camera, something we have found is a necessity on such a large truck that is regularly used in the city, Ram added that after delivery for us. The option price on the ParkView backup camera is an additional $200.
Some of the options we wish we could have gotten, but were not available on the Power Wagon, are heated leather seats (hey, they are easier to clean, and our aging backs enjoy a little heat at the end of the day) and the RamBox option that we so thoroughly enjoyed on our 1500 long-termer. Rumor has it, though, that the RamBoxes will be available on the heavy-duty trucks next year.
As soon as our Power Wagon arrived, it was immediately put to work. So far it has appeared in the Raptor versus Power Wagon comparo (Jan. '10), being crowned the winner in that head-to-head matchup, as well as used to tow our Project 4Runner Backcountry around for its pre-SEMA build up. In addition to all of that, we used it to prerun our 2011 Truck of the Year routes.
With the extra 1,200-pounds of weight the Power Wagon is carrying over our 1500 TRX4, power delivery isn't as immediate, but we have found the Hemi is up to the task of everything we have thrown at the it so far. The five-speed transmission does a good job of gear selection, and is very responsive. Brakes feel is good with a firm pedal and steering feels quicker than and has better feedback than in the Super Duty.

It seems to me that people just don't care anymore. They don't care if their dog destroys your yard and belongings, chases children getting on or off a school bus, chases cars and comes close to being run over. A sweet neighbor was bitten recently by a dog whose owners had been told the dog was going several streets away. Our friend was in her own yard rolling her garbage can back behind her house. She had to go to the doctor, so hopefully something will be done.
On Dawson Avenue, there is a dog in heat running around with two other dogs. They are tearing up property, making a mess of garbage, chasing our cats, running several streets away on busy roads and stealing the cat bowls off my porch. The sad part is that if the Calhoun County Animal Control gets involved, it's these beautiful animals who will pay — probably taken to the over-crowded pound, and it's not the animals' fault.
Why can't owners be fined or written warnings or even given jail time for not following the law with their animals? These animals can't help how they are treated and, to me, one running loose is as bad as one being physically abused or neglected.
We have to start being held accountable for these things. I love animals, and if I had the space and money, I would bring home every stray, neglected and unwanted animal I knew about. But I can't; my cats and dog stay inside, and it's to the point I can't even take my Chihuahua out to potty without a B.B. pistol because I never know what dog is going to come at us. I'm not mad at these beautiful animals, but somehow someone has to make these pet owners accountable.
I love animals more than most humans, and it's just not right. But our sweet neighbor getting bit in her own yard has put our neighborhood over the edge.

It's that time of the week again: Back and Forth, our new weekly blog post where we post what we've been chatting with our Twitter followers about over the past week. For our fourth installment, we asked you what the strangest Halloween treats you've ever gotten were. Some of the responses were really surprising and hilarious! So check out these great tweets and tweet us @FoodNetworkCA to let us know if your answer made our post!
@DrinkingRobot - Weirdest Halloween treat I ever got... six pack of Cola, Maple Leaf hockey tickets, a comb and brush set.@calliesbiscuits - Halloween tissues... #trickortreat @ByrneMGL - A package of instant chicken noodle soup #worsethananapple @barthanar - A toothbrush lol. That's not a Halloween treat.
@kaleekinetik - I once got a lollipop with a cricket in it when I was out trick or treating on #Halloween night. @All_Things_Tea - The drummer from the heavy metal band Helix lived in our 'hood. He gave me a can of beer in 1985. I was 10. My dad drank it. @ajbekk - I got a whole box of cereal; a big box!!
Next, we asked how you spice up your Monday night dinners to get the week off to an interesting start.
@PerryAtLarge - Turn weekend leftovers into soup/stew. Quick, easy, uses up leftovers and brings back memories of the weekend. #mondaymenu @LisaBaillargeon - Monday night spice is whichever spice I close my eyes and pull out of the spice cabinet. Supper is made accordingly :-)

I have developed my first app. It's pretty basic I'm just trying to see how the whole process works and testing things out. I'm using the MS ad control and the ads aren't working. I put error handling in my dev copy of the app and I get an error saying no ad available. I'm in Australia and I've been told by another developer it's because MS ads are having issues here at the moment or by the sounds of it there aren't many advertisers advertising. So I assume in the US ads should be appearing. I just wanted to check if they were so I was wondering if someone in the US or anywhere else in the world could download my app and see if there is an ad on the first screen that appears. Search for entertainMe or a link to the app is here: entertainMe | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)
I've been told Nokia Ad Exchange works better here in Australia so if this stays this way I may sign up for that.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Carved in Love - Autumn Save the Date Postcards Exactly what I was looking for. The carved wood font is incredible.
Every color is can be customized
Tender Tree Save the Date Postcards I loved the tree, but the color scheme was inappropriate for my spring wedding. Everything was easily customized. The postcards arrived on time, and everything looks perfect. My only concern is that they are very glossy. I have yet to address the postcards, but I am concerned about ink smearing on the high gloss finish.
Exactly what we were looking for
Carved in Love Save the Date Postcards Postcard looks exactly like it does in the picture. Paper quality is good and was packaged very well in a nice box. Delivery was very fast. We were very pleased!
This card is unique and so creative
Carved in Love Save the Date Postcards Not only was the card unique but the customer service was excellent! When we received the cards the packaging was exceptional and it had a Thank You for choosing to purchase their item. I wholehearedly recomend Magnet Street...you will not be disappointed.
Love My Postcards!
Carved in Love Save the Date Postcards Ordered the "carved in love" postcards to use as wedding invitations which fit our theme perfectly. Received the cards in a beautiful box, the quality of the cards was superb and we have received many compliments so far. Unique way to invite guests.

Helping your Pet Lose Weight
Having a pet with a few extra pounds to spare may not seem like a serious problem, however, more and more pets are becoming over-weight and pet obesity is becoming a steadily increasing concern. Being over-weight makes your pet vulnerable to a number of health risks including diabetes, arthritis, and heart disease as well as decreased immune functioning.
Extra strain is placed on your pet's internal organs, as well as on joints and bones, making simple activities more strenuous. Over-weight pets also tend to have a poorer quality of life as they aren't able to be as active, often get excessively hot, and may even be uncomfortable a lot of the time.
In most cases, weight gain is so gradual that you may not even notice it until one day you realize, or someone comments that your pet is actually over-weight. Whatever the case, it is never too late to make healthy and positive changes now that will affect your pet later, and possibly add year to his or her life!

Possessing both intellectual and supernatural faculties, television's leading ladies and their complex personalities are slowly but surely dominating their individual universes. Loosely (note: very loosely) using Fortune's Most Powerful Women metrics -- the size and importance of the woman's business, the health and direction of the business, the arc of the woman's career, and her social and cultural influence -- we've ranked the most prominent women currently gracing the small screen.

Welcome to the homepage of the Hunter College/Graduate Center of CUNY Clinical Doctoral Program.
Hurricane Sandy update - August, 2013: Thanks to the efforts of CUNY administration, Hunter College administration, faculty, staff, students, and donors, we have moved back to our Brookdale campus location. The entire lower level of the East Building and many other areas of the campus affected by Hurricane Sandy have been repaired and renovated. We have replaced all previously existing furniture, teaching and research equipment, and essentially everything that was destroyed. Acquisition of additional equipment etc will continue throughout the remainder of this year. Thank you again to everyone involved in this tremendous effort. Thank you to all our donors. Dr. Krasilovsky
The Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) program is a collaboration between the Graduate Center of CUNY and Hunter College. Hunter has provided continuous education in physical therapy and other health sciences since the founding of the School of Health Sciences in the late 1960's. This school remains the only one of its kind in the entire City University of New York system. We are in transition whereby the College of Staten Island and Hunter College have each assumed degree-granting authority to confer the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree. This has taken effect for students enrolled in the Class of 2016 at Hunter (beginning June 2013). Applicants now apply via the Hunter College Graduate Admissions office. Please go to "Admissions" for more information regarding this transition for Hunter College and CSI.
If you are interested in our program, we suggest you come in for one of our informational sessions listed on the right of this page. Program information packets and other forms are available on the Forms page.

The Physical Therapy Program, School of Nursing and science researchers are working closely in a partnership with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center planning outstanding, state-of-the-art facilities in a new complex on 74th Street and the FDR Drive. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2014, with estimated completion in 2018. The provost's office is working closely with the administration and faculty at Brookdale on relocation plans, which include a temporary move to a newly renovated CUNY building adjacent to the LaGuardia Community College campus. The date for this move is the summer of 2015, based upon a tentative timetable of funding and construction.
To request a counseling appointment, please call the secretary at (212) 481-4469 between 9:00 am and 2:00 pm, Monday – Friday during the academic year, or Tuesday – Thursday during the summer.

LETTER FROM L.A. about Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo and their restaurant, Animal. The restaurant's staples are outrageous concoctions that might be called whimsical if they weren't so rich: expertly prepared junk food made from exquisite ingredients. Animal is in an old Jewish district of Los Angeles. The lease stipulates that Shook and Dotolo cannot advertise as kosher for competitive reasons, but there is not much chance of that. The restaurant uses three different kinds of bacon, and manages to incorporate pork into just about everything. Animal is small and spare: a single room. The tables are unadorned: no tablecloths, bread baskets, or bouquets, just knives and forks and paper menus. Shook, twenty-nine, and Dotolo, thirty, are sometimes known as the kids or the boys, or occasionally, the bookends, but always as the dudes. A reality show they starred in on the Food Network was called "Two Dudes Catering"; their cookbook is "Two Dudes, One Pan." Shook was brought up Jewish in Ormond Beach, Florida; Dotolo is from an Italian family in Clearwater. While still at school, Shook and Dotolo worked for Michelle Bernstein, a prominent chef in South Beach. In 2001, they made their way to Los Angeles and started as line cooks at Chadwick, a Beverly Hills restaurant owned by Benjamin Ford. Chadwick failed, but Ford kept Shook and Dotolo on as caterers and odd-jobs men. Ford's father and stepmother, Harrison Ford and Melissa Mathison, started hiring them, too. In 2002, Shook and Dotolo launched Carmelized Productions, a catering company, and started hustling to get a television show. Tells how they met Lauren and Benedikt Taschen at a party. The Taschens became their new patrons. Discusses the recent popularity of whole-animal cookery in the United States. Grappling with the product in its least processed form appealed to Shook and Dotolo on an aesthetic level; the economics of using every part of the animal spoke to their thrift. Writer describes Shook and Dotolo making head cheese from seven frozen pigs' heads. Tells about a party they catered that honored the work of celebrity photographer Tom Munro. The guest list included Dustin Hoffman and Justin Timberlake. Describes a visit to Animal by Mario Batali.

do most people just not challenge their bodies, or endure any other kind of pain in today's society and therefotre childbirth *is* really the hardest thing they have (or maybe will) ever do? I'm struggling to understand because if what I've read here is normal then I may be doing a disservice in my childbirth classes by my opinion that it's work but not terrible or suffering kind of pain.
if you are painting a one sided, rosey picture of birth to your class, maybe you are doing a disservice. it's ok to present that as your experience, but it's not a universal one. i think birth should be seen as a miraculous experience, but there's no reason to gloss over the difficult painful side. that's just as real for many people. you can express your experience without invalidating anyone elses.
i assume if you are teaching some kind of childbirth class, it's because you care about women, and want them to have to best experience possible. that's commendable. it occurs to me though, that some of your students may end up feeling like failures or morons if they find themselves in overwhelming pain. they'll remember how you said it wasn't *that* bad, etc, and wonder what's wrong with them.
i'm thinking it would be better to try to support everyone's experience, not just the people who have a similar one to yours...

The PCC is the second largest religion in the Atlantic Federation.
"Protect us, oh holy one,
from the dangers of the night
may your smoke and ashes
to our souls with clarity ignite"
The birth and life of a god through the long ages.
There are three ways to live. And living them well, living them with purpose, allows you to die easy.
Worshippers of Josslander take no small actions
Come forth, the world weary, be assured that the blessed steel will guide you into the Green Vales! The wondrous Sting will herald your entry into the blessed realm.
What started as a small movement up in the Atlas mountains has in recent times grown in popularity among the commoners and excentric nobles of the nearby fiefdoms. This movement believes in maintaining the balance in all things. This also applies to good versus evil.
Equilibrium Cultists therefore worship two opposing deities of their choice, and try the best they can to follow the commandments given from both deities, even when they contradict eachother.
Vile cannibal clerics of a god of slavery and hunger
"Death. What happens when one dies? A question that all civilized peoples have tried to answer. Some claim you go to a place where you are rewarded or punished based on what you do when you're alive. Some claim that you a simply reincarnated.
"They are all wrong. The truth is that we are in a state of transformation. Humans are simply in a complicated version of a caterpillar in a chrysalis. We started as mere animi. Now we are humans. And just like the caterpillar turns into something grander after its time in a chrysalis, we become something grander when we die.
"You see, we become gods."
On an Alien World where life last 100s of years and memories only a decade, a cult has arisen that defines truth only as what is under the sun.
"If you take out all the bullshit about the machines and the crappy prophecy, The Matrix was pretty close to the truth. Just think about it for awhile and you'll see how much sense it makes. And really, if you were trapped in a game and couldn't wake up, wouldn't you want to know the truth? So you could do something about it?"
" . . . Still haven't convinced you, huh? Here, tell you what: I'll give you my card. Whenever you feel like learning the real truth of this world, give me a call. I'll show you the ropes."
"O Divine Broker, merchant of souls, bless our transaction, make it holy and righteous in Your sight. May those that profit from it be ever prosperous, and earn our reward in Your Sacred Market. Release us from our debts, and grant us lucrative exchange now and forever."
- Prayer before a trade, from Bashad the Spectacular's "The Handbook of Divine Wealth"
Any number of clergymen might be accused of putting their demands for secular wealth over their spiritual needs. Even these, however, would never claim to worship their prosperity. Yet such is the case with the followers of the Way of Divine Wealth, a religion of uncertain history and unabashed cupidity.
The true depths of darkness travel far deeper into the hearts of mortal man than the darkest and deepest cave I have ventured in. What once could have started as an innocent trek into the unknown for the sake of curiosity I have seen lead to the blackening of the soul and the withering of all those around it. All in the name of innocence and knowledge.
The following are my findings on the subject, as horrible as they are. I just hope I can finish this before my mind is lost to me. I feel the ebb and flow pulling inside me, no that is to simple an explanation. I feel my soul losing its hold on me. The more knowledge I gain, the more I know I am lost.
Kormak Cabeaza, Scribe and Scholar to Lord King Vyrkril the Just of Camerial
They will serve up the Light to appease their dark gods.

An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.
Soon after, The Trickster came upon another praying mantis, a female in heat. Unable to resist a female of any race, The Trickster obliged the willing creature, being perfectly able in his present form. At the climactic moment something unexpected occurred. As The Trickster issued forth his Divine Seed, the female turned her head slightly, and with blinding speed bit into The Trickster's head, nearly severing it with her first strike. Her next few bites, finished the job, and as Mokkus' headless body spasmed, she began to eat the rest of The Trickster.
-An Excerpt from "The Oral Traditions of the P'Cheela" as Transcribed by Gyma, Deputy Explorer of the Thyran College
Unlock your mind. Stand naked in thought and body before your enemy. Move as the breezes that caresses your vessel. Strike as the earth that calls from under your feet.
- Nesu-kitt, Ancient Lockzennite
A small, hidden sect among the stars, distributed throughout hundreds of cells, The Word of Creation has dedicated itself to cleansing humanity of the taint of synthetic and altered life, and of holding a strong and pure humanity above all the Galaxy, through whatever means necessary.
Common for sailors to get lashings for punishment. Sailors would then get tattoos of god symbols on thier back so the thrasher was less likely to whip the symbol of the god.
Others say symbols bring bad luck. They draw the attention of the god and it could be wrathful.

Koren #1 @7314
Wed Apr 18 17:55:15 1990
When you were little, some boring relative probably asked you the question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Well, here you are grown up and STILL don't know who or what you want to be. Maybe you don't even know where you are heading in life. Join the club. One thing is sure however, Man is trying to survive, individually, and as a species in all realms — physically and spiritually. When we imagine a "heaven" we usually think of it in human terms, such as places populated with people, angels, cherubs, and saints, etc. We never think of heaven as a place that is controlled by alien intelligences that have 7 eyeballs, and who are governed by a being that came from the Andromedia galaxy! So even mankinds "thought-projections" into a "here-after" are based on human-based constructs of reality and not something entirely "different." The same goes in the justifications of our actions. "Because God says so" is a great excuse, and so it serves to calm ourselves from being unsure of our actions. If there is ever to be a a shared vision, it will be based on our vision of God and our place in "Gods plan" – (even if there is no God or God's plan.) A evil person sees the world as a evil place, a clown sees the world as a circus, and a person in bliss sees the world as a place of beauty. It's no wonder that Mohammed said that God wanted him to kill the unbelievers. Thats because Mohammed himself wanted to kill the unbelievers who would thereby interfere with his "reform."
So it can be argued that in general man sees the world in a way that he expects his God(s) to see the world. All too often men have killed due to their "God's will." So the fact that the "Kamikazee's" of WWII were blessed as they were arc-welded into their death-trap airplanes — they "knew" that God was "on their side." The same is true of the middle-east terrorist. He "knows" that God agrees with his views and actions, and so will therefore go to a heaven when he dies. All of these kinds of actions call for a reform in mankinds vision of himself and his spiritual/physical reality. This view also explains the "New Age" movement and all of the diverse sub-cultures springing up in the USA because of this. Cults, Fringe Science, etc, are all a search for a better vision or reality-contruct.
Why do we do such things? Why does God resemble a human? Why does everything man imagines have to be a relative of the "here-now" reality? What would happen if a new religion came along and told everyone that heaven was populated with "nano-machines" that do everything in subservience to the will of the "master-intelligence," ala TRON, instead of angels obeying God? Instead of using the now "old" heaven-contruct, lets design a new construct so we can move forward as a species without war and hate or discrimination. Lets make it impossible for somebody to justify their actions because of a God(s). Lets make the old-testament view of a wrathfull Jehovah God an invalid and useless model for behavior. If such a new model for behavior were made, what would such a model require? Since death and mayhem have been a "operating procedure" for the last 10,000 years in mans history, what is required is a shift in our fundamental view of the universe, God, and mankind. No easy task! One way to do this is to eliminate God and the spirit from the picture completely. Another tactic is to introduce new "archetypes" that can raise our expectations and desires as a species. Another tactic is to completely dehumanize everything and look at the universe as a "trap" — ala Buddhism, Krishna, or Scientology. None of those work. What else is there? Well, you have the subject of technology to deal with. What about a vision of the universe as a Hologram, or Computer Program. Would such a view serve to enhance the unity of mind and man or destroy it? Science Fiction deals with such other realities and technologies by anticipating their end-result on humanity. As our society becomes more technological, does that mean our theology and beliefs will become more technologically oriented also? Probably. God is dead, or hasn't anybody told you? Thats seems to be the answer to such questions at present. If God is dead, something else has to arrive to take his place. Does that mean we adopt "alien invaders" and UFO's to take the place of Gods or the Devils minions? I dont know the answer, but it seems that we may be headed in that direction. For example, the ancient prophets used to commune with the Gods on Olympus, and now of course, the secular-human prophets are "cummuning" with extra-terrestrial intellegences! What comes after that? Probably something like "communing" with a silcon chip of an A.I. computer!
The fact is our reality-constructs are changing, but there seems to be no control over WHAT constructs we adopt for our new viewpoints. How long will it be before aliens intelligences are being attributed for giving Moses the 10 Commandments? Or Ezekiel and the Chariots of Fire? Such things are so flexible in truth and interpretation that anybody can come along and assign a new "significance" or "truth" to such events with equal validity since there is no "standard" or capital "T" truth to judge them by. You are the new techno-shaman of the world. You are the Cyber-men/women of the future. You are shaping reality every day by your actions. By your writings, actions, conversations, arguments and opinions you are giving shape to a new world-model. Remember this and keep close to your heart that todays vision's become tommorrows reality. Lets explore the boundaries of our perceptions and beliefs to come up with something workable before another all-too-real cult-leader dictates what is real and what is not! Remember the famous quotation: "Think for yourself, smuck!" Any vision(s) of the future should be based on increasing human intelligence, ability, and life. There are NO other goals to reach for. These three goals will be worthy of pursuit for generations, because they coincide with our drives as a species. Lets try to have control over what new models are used in shaping our views of the universe. Lets get rid of the "justification trap" that has led all too many "true believers" to their early graves. Lets get rid of the Jim Jones's, Ron Hubbards, Reverend Moon's and Charles Manson's of the reality-contruct business and develop a construct that makes nobody rich, hated or discriminated against. Remember, if we dont take the initiative to direct and develop new contructs, somebody else will develop them, and they may not be for the best future.
