This article describes Water Tank Pressure Relief Valves - how to find buy, or where to install safety valves on water tanks and on well water systems. We explain where a pressure relief valve is usually installed on well water pressure tanks, how the valve works, and why pressure relief valves are an important safety feature on well tanks. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2014 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. WATER TANK PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES: installation, inspection, troubleshooting, repair, code requirements forEarly in our building inspection career plumbers in our area were skeptical when we identified the absence of a pressure relief valve as a safety concern (and a building or plumbing code violation). Then in about 1984 a local plumber was killed by a bursting water pressure tank. The water pump was a submersible unit located (remotely) inside of the water well. The plumber was leaning over the water tank repairing a fitting, unaware that the water pump had turned on, and unaware that the pressure control switch had been damaged or modified so that it failed to turn off the water pump at a safe pressure. The water tank burst, metal fragments severely injured the plumber who, working alone, bled to death. After that terrible event all of our local plumbers took this relief valve requirement seriously. How to Buy & Install the Right Water Tank Pressure Relief Valve for Water Storage Tanks or Water Pressure TanksQuestion: What size or capacity of pressure relief valve should be installed on a water pressure tank?My water tank pressure switch is set to 20 - 40 psi. How do I gage the size of a relief valve I need to put for my tank? - D.R. Reply: typical water tank pressure relief valves are 1/2" or 3/4" in diameter orifice and are set to open at 75 psi.The water tank pressure relief valve shown in our photo (above) is marked indicating that it will open at water pressure equal to or greater than 75 psi. That pressure is pretty standard and you'll see the 75 psi figure on valves used on water tanks and on some tankless water heaters too. According to the Water Systems Council, [quoting, paraphrasing, and expanding - Ed.] High pressure in a building water supply system can result if the water pressure switch that controls the well pump is damaged, or if the pump stays on too long. Most submersible well water pumps can develop pressure exceeding the rated working limits of the water pressure tank or building water distribution system piping, fittings, and fixtures. Excess water pressure can damage water system component as well as the pressure tank if not corrected immediately, and can also cause leaks within the piping system or at faucets and fixtures. Therefore on all building water supply systems using a private well and pump, a pressure-relief valve is recommended. Water pressure relief valves are spring-controlled and open only in response to system pressure. That is, water temperature is not a controlling factor for these valves. For water service, these important safety devices are generally adjusted to relieve pressure higher than 75 psi. [1] Watch out: water pressure tank fatality: we [Ed] are aware of a fatality that occurred in the Hudson Valley of New York State when a plumber, working alone on a water pressure tank and pump system was killed as the water pressure tank burst. There was no pressure relief valve on the water system; a submersible well pump was installed; the well pump pressure control switch stuck in the "on" position. We suspect that because the submersible pump was located inside the well and thus there was little or no operating noise when the pump was on, the plumber had no idea that the pump was running. When the pressure inside the water tank exceeded the tank's design specifications the tank burst open. The plumber, leaning over the water tank to perform some task, was cut and killed by the "shrapnel" formed when the water tank burst. - ED. Examples of water tank and similar pressure relief valves include
But check with the manufacturer of your water tank to determine if a different relief valve opening pressure is required. Standard water tank pressure relief valves are sold at plumbing suppliers and are pre-set with a "safe" pressure for most home water tanks, provided that the water tank, piping, and controls are properly installed and adjusted. A professional plumber would select and install a water tank pressure relief valve that opens to spill water and relieve pressure at a point well below the rated burst pressure of the tank. The burst-pressure of a water tank, provided it's undamaged and properly installed, should be well above the opening pressure on the tank relief valve. But to choose a specific valve matched to your water tank, you should consult the manual for your water tank and pump and their manufacturer to be sure you've got the right part. If a pressure relief valve is not installed on your water tank ask your plumber to provide one promptly. ... ...

It's official. Phillips Seafood will be relocating to the former ESPN Zone spot at Power Plant by the end of the year. Its lease at Harborplace ends Sept. 30 as I reported in an earlier post.
The exciting news is that the barge in front of the old ESPN Zone will become an outdoor crab deck, "the old-fashioned Baltimore way," said David Cordish, CEO of The Cordish Cos., which oversees the Power Plant complex of restaurants and entertainment venues.
Cordish, along with Steve Phillips, president and CEO of Phillips Seafood Restaurants, were seated at a table on the barge this morning with steamed crabs, corn on the cob, pitchers of beer, and cans of Phillips seafood seasoning.
"That's why we're here today, to eat crabs," Cordish said.
And to confirm the rumor that had been widespread for weeks—that Phillips was moving to Power Plant.
Keeping the restaurant in Baltimore will mean 600 jobs, said Christian Johansson, Maryland secretary of business and economic development, who also spoke at the press conference.
David Cordish also paid respect to two men who would have appreciated the joint efforts of the Cordish and Phillips families—the recently deceased Bryce Phillips and William Donald Schaefer.
"Two people would be smiling at this," Cordish said of the Phillips founder and the former mayor and governor. "They would be happy to see this union of family."

Re: Self defense fighting style
I know what you mean, I didn't stop boxing till I realized the opponents I was facing were in grade school when I started. But I had a lot of wrestling and street fighting behind me. When I was in port I worked out with the marines and army MP's and took fencing lessons at the same time so I had a well rounded work out. Funny thing they wouldn't let me work the heavy bag, just the sand bag. The gym owner got tired of having to retape it so he banned me from that bag.
Come to think of it he wouldn't let me use his jump ropes either.

'American Idol' Top 11 Recap: Attack of the Terrible Song Choice
Tuesday, March 23, 2010
Abbey Simmons
Contributing Writer, BuddyTV
Add as BuddyTV Friend »
This recap comes with a warning: if you love Miley Cyrus, you will hate me by the end of this. Heck, you'll probably hate me by the end of this introduction.
You see, as a 29-year-old woman with functioning ears and no offspring, Miley Cyrus makes about as much sense to me as an
mentor and successful musician as Jesse James cheating on Sandra Bullock with a stripper whose face is covered in tattoos. It just does not compute and it never will.
Thing is, it's not just Miley that I'm less than ecstatic about tonight. It's the whole affair. From the
deja vu inducing theme
, to much of the Top 11 themselves, to the tired judging panel. Tonight's performance show has me wishing that
The Last Song
wasn't just the name of Miley's new movie, but a promise. A promise from each performer tonight that this would either be their last lackluster song, or their last song altogether.
There are ways
American Idol
could improve tonight's show ... we have some helpful suggestions for
artists better suited to serve as mentors than Miley
. And as always, we have our fingers and toes crossed that someone (anyone!) uses one of our song suggestions:
'American Idol' Top 11: Sing These Billboard Hits
We have song spoilers folks, courtesy of
Top Idol
blog and while a few of them have me wanting to invest in ear plugs STAT, one
is FINALLY doing a song I've basically begged him to do since week one. See the spoilers
Are you following along with
my Tweets
as well as my live thoughts? Because you should be, I'm awfully witty in 140 characters or less.
To begin tonight's Billboard #1 Hit's theme we get a Billboard history lesson and an introduction Miley Cyrus, who only Katie and Aaron seem excited to meet. In other news, water is wet. Miley says she's thrilled to be a mentor on
American Idol
and then negates any chance of being taken seriously by saying, "I've watched this season and I don't think any of them are doing anything wrong?" Do famous people get to watch a different season of
than we do? Because that's the only explanation.
Lee DeWyze - "The Letter" by The Box Tops
Can I get a hallelujah for Lee doing "The Letter?" I've only been begging since the very first week of
for him to do it. It's an emotional choice because Alex Chilton, lead singer of The Box Tops died suddenly this past week, which it looks like Idol has chosen to completely ignore. Classy Idol, classy.
And the disappointments don't stop there. Lee, unfortunately, has decided to jazz up "The Letter" instead of rocking out with it and I am not keen on it at all. The structure of a jazz tune shows Lee's weaknesses, vocally and as a performer instead of highlighting that wonderful growl and rasp in a positive way. (That's what rock'n'roll does.) Lee gets stronger as the performance goes along, but it's still full of errant flat notes and stumbles on the phrasing. Sadly, despite the fact this is the song I've always wanted from Lee, it was my least favorite performance of his. By far ... and he sang my nemesis in song form "Fireflies."
Simon Says (best judge's comment):
Ellen, having lost the banana metaphor with Alex Lambert decides to start a new one with Lee, calling him her favorite pen. Simon says Lee was doing something "quite corny, I think you're kind of missing the point." Yet again, Simon Cowell is the only voice of reason.
Safe, Shaky, Should Be Going Home:
Shaky (Lee stumbled, no matter what the judges say and he got the spot of death.)
Paige Miles - "Against All Odds" by Phil Collins
She's Just Being Miley
(comments on Miley's mentorship)
Paige thinks age is nothing but a number when it comes to Miley as a mentor. Miley calls Paige out on her pitchiness. (Score one for Miley.)
(* A minute and a half of stunned silence that has paralyzed my fingers passes *)
Oh my god. Paige is so bad, I sincerely don't even know what to say. It's like her rendition of "Smile," but worse. Yes. I said worse than "Smile," one of the worst performances in the history of Idol. Paige doesn't hit a single note on key whether she's whispering or belting them out. And the icing on a poisonous cake? Her timing is off the entire time. Hands down, the most painful performance I've sat through since auditions and the only one that's stunned me into silence. Ouch.
Simon Says:
Randy says the performance was terrible and then back tracks saying, "maybe your voice isn't back yet." Kara says it was the worst vocal of the season. Simon says "I think that song has just killed you, I do."
Safe, Shaky, Should Be Going Home: Going Home
(not should be, Paige is going home.)

Halo Headlines: Hypothetical trade package for Greinke, Angels not interested in Fuentes, Vegas makes Weaver and Trout amongst favorites for Cy Young and MVP
The July 12th, 2012 edition of daily news for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim including a hypothetical trade offer for Zack Greinke, Halos not interested in Brian Fuents, Weaver and Trout favorites for end of season awards and much more...
The Story: A hypothetical trade to bring Zack Greinke to the Angels.
The Monkey Says: I think that proposal is close. You will note that it does not include Peter Bourjos which many fans have assumed would be involved. As I have said before, he is too much of a proven commodity to be forked over for a rental. Any Greinke deal would be strictly for prospects, although maybe Walden gets tossed in if the Brewers really like him. The only thing I find wrong with the package in the article is that it includes Ariel Pena whereas I think the Angels would try and convince a team to take Johnny Hellweg instead since he is of similar value but not as close to the majors as Pena.
The Story: The Angels have no interest in picking up recently released Brian Fuentes.
The Monkey Says: I think he would've been worth taking a no-cost gamble on since the pen could use another lefty in middle relief... oh well.

Economic globalisation and universal human rights both have the aspiration and power to improve and enrich individuals and communities. However, their respective institutions, methods, practices and goals differ, leading to both detrimental clashes and beneficial synergies. In this 2009 book, David Kinley analyses how human rights intersect with the trade, aid and commercial dimensions of global economic relations, taking the view that, while the global economy is a vitally important civilising instrument, it itself requires civilising according to human rights standards. Combining meticulous research with highly informed views and experiences, he outlines the intellectual, policy and practical frameworks for ensuring that the global economy advances the ends of human rights, argues for better exploitation of the global economy's capacity to distribute as well as create wealth, and proposes mechanisms by which to minimise and manage the socially debilitating effects of its market failures and financial meltdowns.
Read more- Blends the disciplines of economics, human rights, law and politics to produce a coherent thesis of what needs to be done to make sure that the global economy serves the interests of the many and not just the few
- Provides readers with the philosophical tools, the facts and the figures to explain how economic aid can better protect the human rights of the poor
- Explores the responsibilities of global economic actors to respect people's human rights, building a persuasive case for why and how these duties ought to be reconfigured and enforced
- Draws on a wide range of illuminating cases, materials and arguments to demonstrate how, in the wake of a global financial crisis, human rights responsibilities can be met while simultaneously promoting global economic growth
Reviews & endorsements
"[Civilising Globalisation] offers a thoughtful assessment of two indispensable elements in our society today: global economic progress and human rights. The book explores how human rights standards can guide international trade, aid and business."
--Pascal Lamy, Director General of the WTOSee more reviews"In all, Civilizing Globalization makes a strong case that human rights concerns should be better incorporated into the global economy, and that economic actors, including international organizations, development agencies, and MNCs, need to more fully examine the ways in which human rights concerns figure into their roles." - H-REVIEW Digest

Waiting for a table in the lobby, there was a bright and colourful installation in the sitting area.
Jin and I actually took a little break from the house this weekend. We had a delightful dinner with Gabe and May, and Gabe's cousin Will. We haven't seen them in a long time, I missed them so much!
It felt so good to go out for a nice relaxing dinner, and finally seeing some friends. It feels like we haven't gone out with friends for a long time.
Now, I feel refreshed to do some more unpacking!

I am an 80-year-old British Linux Magazine subscriber living in France. I have a Medion 17" Laptop and still have XP on my system, but I now do most of my work in PCLinuxOS. I have tried many Linux systems in the past, with Mandriva being the most successful until recently, when I obtained an iso of PCLOS. The PCLinuxOS Live disc, which was the first Live disc to recognize my "speedtouch" modem and ADSL Wanadoo broadband immediately, put me straight on the web and ultimately found and used everything native to my laptop perfectly – even the built-in screencam and Epson DX3850 Printer/scanner.
I don't ever use XP for the Internet now, only PCLOS. VirtualBox performs perfectly in PCLOS, and also I have installed my XP OS, which is running as a virtual system with the few Windows programs for which I have found no Linux alternatives. It will not be long before I delete the XP portion on the laptop altogether.

As you may have noticed, the unstructured blazer gets a lot of love around these parts. Windbreakers…not so much. But that doesn't mean they can't learn a few things.
This Arc'tyrex windshell takes its cues the latest crop of high buttoning, soft shouldered jackets. If it were in selvedge canvas instead of goretex, it could pass for Engineered Garments. Instead, it's matte black raingear, ready to wick away whatever your umbrella doesn't catch. And if you're looking for something a little more modern than your Mackintosh (or a more rainproof version of your baker's jacket), it's a pretty good choice.

Click image to enlarge Leash harnesses can be a way to get your green iguanas, or other lizards, out into the sunshine. |
I flashed back on my experience with getting a harness on a green iguana. To say it was unsuccessful is an understatement. I thought it would be fun to be able to take my iguana, Yombo , for a walk on occasion, so bought a small leather harness for him, attached to the end of a leash. After some finagling I got his front legs through the holes and attached it according to the manufacturer's instructions. Yombo sat there for a moment, and then I got to witness some spectacular contortions and twisting, as he frantically tried to escape the harness. He rolled over the ground, getting himself twisted up in the leash, and generally acted as if the harness were made of acid. I got it off him quickly, and thus endeth the Yombo-on-a-leash idea.
This woman's iguana was not fazed at all, and was very used to his harness. I didn't ask her if he took to it right off or if there was an adjustment period that featured the twisting and writhing that Yombo had exhibited.
Harnesses can be a way to get your green iguanas, or other lizards, out into the sunshine. Exposure to UVB is a tremendously important consideration when keeping basking lizards, and natural sunlight is terrific to utilize if possible. Outdoor enclosures are another way to facilitate this. If you go this route, be sure shade is available for your pets as well. If nothing else, you can take your lizard outside and let it roam around under your watchful eye. Luckily, there's life-saving full-spectrum lighting for reptiles that are kept indoors (which are the vast majority, of course). Even if you use full-spectrum lighting for your reptiles, it would still be great if you could get them out into natural sunlight occasionally.

Former Islander haunt Rangers Rob Schremp and Andrew Ladd scored 15 seconds apart in the second period, Ondrej Pavelec made 29 saves and the Atlanta Thrashers delivered a crushing blow to the New York Rangers' playoff hopes with a 3-0 victory Thursday night. Hope it felt good, RSH, it sure made my night!
We will not give up that man-games-to-injury title without a fight! Too bad for Schremp, whose late burst last season was ended by a knee injury. Presumably, the season will begin with Tavares-Nielsen-Weight-Konopka at center, although there's plenty of time for injuries to mess with that. Update: Changed the link to the Isles TC Daily, w/ comments from Gordon on Nino and de Haan.

No matches found.New theater almost ready for show time
Goblins and sorcerers will invade Hesperia, as the much-anticipated fantasy "The Hobbit: An unexpected Journey" will be the first movie shown at the new Civic Plaza 12 theater, which opens for business on Dec. 14.
The 12-screen theater, which broke ground September 2011 next to Civic Park, will feature digital projection and sound, D-Box Motion Seating and two 60-foot wide screens, which are among the largest in California, according to Cinema West owner David Corkill.
"The 35-foot tall screens are incredible, and the reserved seating is the best," Corkill said. "You can order your tickets five minutes before 'The Hobbit' and know exactly where you'll be sitting — no need for waiting in long lines."
The theater is also planning a cafe that will serve beer and wine.
The Hesperia location will be the first Southern California theater for Petaluma-based Cinema West, which operates 11 other locations in Northern California and Idaho.
The new theater at 9711 Ninth Ave. is directly behind City Hall.
For show times call (760) 956-7469, or call (707) 762-0990 for general information.
Rene De La Cruz may be reached at (760) 951-6227 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Friday Night Question by Lisa De Pasquale Feb 8, 2013 8:01 PM PT As I sit here on a Friday night watching one of the half a dozen shows about wedding dresses on The Learning Channel (TLC) I pose this question: Which channel has strayed the furthest from its original programming: TLC, Bravo or MTV?Wikipedia tells me TLC was originally founded by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare and NASA. Now it shows Honey Boo Boo. I'm not that familiar with TLC's programming aside from the wedding shows, Sisterwives, and Gypsies, but I think they still run A Baby Story, which I suppose could teach you something about the birthing process.

The danger here is that, by choosing a diet mixer, you don't feel any more drunk than you would have with a normal drink, but - believe it or not - you actually are.

The Left Covers Up Ex-LAPD Cop's Political Views by Javier Manjarres Feb 8, 2013 6:53 AM PT In response to Ex-LAPD Cop's Rampage Brings Out Dark Side of Social Media: Liberty Chick, do you expect anything less? I don't. In this clown's manifesto, he praises liberal politicos like Hillary Clinton, and pulls out the single biggest political tool that the liberals have to counter any and all debates, 'The Race Card.' But as a few blogs have already pointed out, the 'MSM' is not focused on the this man's political views. Why? Because all fingers would point to his leftist indoctrination, giving the progressive movement somewhat of a black eye. Share This:

A MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF VISITORS OF VIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH UNIVERSITY July 17, 2006 A meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Visitors of Virginia Commonwealth University was held on July 17, 2006, at 9 a.m. in the University Meeting Center located at 101 North Harrison Street. The full Board was invited to attend. Present were Dr. Bersoff (Rector); Messrs. Axselle and Rosenthal; and Mrs. Rhodes (via phone). Mr. Sherman was absent. Mr. Rosenthal was appointed as a substitute member of the Executive Committee for the July 17, 2006, meeting. Other Board members present were Drs. Broaddus and Romano; and Mr. Hurtado. Also present were Drs. Trani, Gottfredson, Macrina and Retchin; Messrs. Bennett, Gehring, Ross and Wyeth; and Mesdames Atkinson, Balmer, Chinnici, Lepley and Messmer. The meeting was called to order and Mr. Hurtado was introduced. Mr. Hurtado was appointed to the Board effective July 1, 2006. Mr. Hurtado is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Invertix Corporation, a wireless technology and systems engineering company headquartered in Annandale, Virginia. The 2006-07 University Budget Plan was presented. Revenue from all sources is projected to total $712.6 million and budgeted uses are estimated at $709.6 million for 2006-07. The 2006-07 budget was developed within an overall framework of the actions of the 2006 General Assembly, 2006-07 tuition and fee rates adopted by the Board of Visitors, the University's Strategic Plan and the six-year financial plans. The allocatio of resources reflects two principal drivers: Presidential priorities and Strategic Plan priorities. Key Presidential priorities include additional funding for research, medicine, life sciences, international education, engineering, business and the development of a new interdisciplinary arts film program. The 2006-07 budget reflects additional funding for a number of Strategic Plan initiatives, including the University College, the School of Public Health, the Honors College and University libraries. Funding also has been provided to address state-mandated cost increases for faculty and staff compensation, fringe benefits, a property insurance rate increase, and eVA fees. The 2006-07 budget includes funding to support capital commitments and unavoidable cost increases, such as operation and maintenance costs for new facilities coming on-line, lease costs for Theatre Row, reserves for the Monroe Park Campus expansion, and utility price increases. On motion made and seconded, the Executive Committee of the Board of Visitors approved the 2006-07 University Budget Plan. On motion made and seconded, the Executive Committee convened into closed session for discussion or consideration of prospective candidates for employment; for discussion or consideration of matters that would involve the disclosure of information contained in a scholastic record concerning students of a Virginia public institution of higher education; and, to consult with legal counsel pertaining to actual and probable litigation, and other specific legal matters requiring the provision of legal advice or counsel, where such consultation or briefing in open meeting would adversely affect the negotiating or litigating posture of VCU as authorized by Section 2.2-3711 A(1), A(2) and A(7) of the Virginia Freedom of Information Act. Following closed session, on motion made and seconded, the following resolution was approved by roll call vote: Virginia Commonwealth University hereby certifies that, to the best of each member's knowledge, (i) only public business matters lawfully exempted from open meeting requirements by Virginia law were discussed in the closed session meeting to which this certification resolution applies, and (ii) only such public business matters as were identified in the motion convening the closed session meeting were heard, discussed or considered by the Executive Committee of the Board of Visitors of Virginia Common- wealth University. Roll Call Vote Ayes Nays Dr. Edward H. Bersoff, Rector X Mr. Ralph L. "Bill" Axselle, Jr.X Mrs. Anne J. G. "Panny" Rhodes X Mr. Thomas G. Rosenthal X Mr. John Sherman, Jr. Absent Vote: Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 ABSENT DURING MEETING: 1 ABSENT DURING VOTING: 1 The meeting was adjourned at 10:45 a.m.

Phased-In Tax Cuts and Economic Activity

House, Christopher L., and
Matthew D. Shapiro. 2006. "Phased-In Tax Cuts and Economic Activity."
American Economic Review,
96(5): 1835-1849.

This paper uses a dynamic general equilibrium model to analyze and quantify the aggregate effects of the timing of tax rate changes enacted in 2001 (which called for successive rate reductions through 2006) and 2003 (which made immediate tax rate cuts scheduled for 2004 and 2006). The phased-in nature contributed to the slow recovery from the 2001 recession, while the elimination of the phase-in helped explain the increase in economic activity in 2003. The simulations suggest while the tax policy was a drag on the
economy in 2001 and 2002, it increased economic growth in 2003, once phase-ins were eliminated. (JEL D58, E32, E62, H24, H25, O41)

All Natural Seeds
from Preparedness Seeds. The Preparedness Seeds Culinary Herbs Can provides a Missing link in your food storage plan. Each #10 can contains 16 popular culinary herb varieties that will produce enough herbs to spice up your food storage meals in hard times! Because they are non-hybrid, seeds may be harvested at the end of the growing season and then used for the next year�s planting.
� 16 seed packets sealed in a #10 can.
� Plants a large herb garden.
� Packaged for long term storage. Will keep up to 4 years if stored at 66 to 70 degrees and much longer if kept colder.
� All non-hybrid, open pollinated varieties
� Harvested seeds can be planted year after year.
� Packets are re-sealable for lasting protection.
� Complete planting instructions included.

SAGE, Broad Leaved 200 Seeds

These are all natural and have ...
1) No fungicides, etc.
2) Non-hybrid
3) Non-GMO (Non-Genetically modified)
Shelf Life
There are some non-hybrid seed companies that make claims that the seeds will store for 20-100 years but this is only under optimal conditions with a decreased fertility rate over time. Preparedness Seeds claim that their seeds will keep AT LEAST 4-5 years on a shelf at 70 degrees and 10+ years if kept refrigerated or frozen.
The reason that the seeds need to be sealed is not to keep the oxygen out (it actually needs a little to stay viable) but to keep the moisture out. Inside of the #10 can, each variety is hermetically sealed in a mylar bag that also has a zip lock seal - kind of like the items that you get at the store that have a top section that you tear off leaving the zip lock seal at the top that can be resealed. This way a person can open the can and plant only a few varieties without effecting the shelf life of the ones that weren't opened.
Included with each can are complete planting and harvesting instructions.
Most, but not all orders leave our warehouse within 1-7 business days. Allow time from the day we ship for FedEx or the USPS to deliver it to you from Upstate NY. Please call for rush orders before 2:00 Eastern time. That means that some items, to some locations could take two weeks or more.

To determine your shipping charge, simply add the items that you want to buy into your pack/shopping cart and click on the Secure Checkout button to go to the next screen and all you will need to enter is your zip code, hit the apply button and you will get your shipping charges before you have to enter any more information.

Multifeatured file management
Turbo Browser is an intuitive photo-editing and file management tool. It combines two features we don't usually see together--a basic image editor along with a file browser and organizer--which sets it apart from other similar programs.
Turbo Browser's interface is basic and looks a lot like Windows Explorer. There are panes to display folders, the names of files within the folders, and previews of the files of themselves. We loved being able to preview not only images, but also Word documents, PDFs, and other files without opening their respective programs; this is a really valuable tool to have … Read more

They recycle case looks ****.
It's like they said "I know, no one has made a recycled case. That will sell loads, screw designing something that actually looks good."
What the h*** is it even made out of?!
Wood shavings? cardboard? loool
The rest of the products looks good though
Paper. It says it in the article.
It's actually made out of recycled paper. The pulp is injected into a copper mold, and the finished product is treated with a coating that makes it impervious to water for extended periods of time. The case is actually designed by a single man, and is more of pet project for the guy.
It's about time! There's nothing I've wanted more from the tech world than the ability to go skiing and take phone calls at the same time. Now THAT'S practical!
The big issue with this gTar..if you wait till the end..listen to what this thing sounds like. AWFUL.
Search Vavo on Kickstarter and you'll be amazed. This thing is awesome! I just picked up the recoil winder for my iPhone headphones and I love them. I'm also pledging for the Bezl iPhone case as well.
The paper case is pretty cool.
I love that paper case , I love environmental free , recycled cases . They're pretty cool
Silly response. How much time do you spend on a lift/gondola? Plenty! instead of taking off gloves and searching for phone in pocket/pack you check out your pole. Not something I'd be interested in using as I like to ski and not be disturbed but for most, I think this would be a cool deal.

Uniqlo Co., Ltd. (株式会社ユニクロ Kabushiki-gaisha yunikuro?) (pronounced "YOU-nee-klo" in English[1]) is a Japanese casual wear designer, manufacturer and retailer. The company has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Fast Retailing Co., Ltd. since November 2005, and is listed in the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
In addition to Japan, the company operates in Bangladesh, China, France, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Macau, Malaysia, the Philippines, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Uniqlo will also commence operation in Australia beginning in early 2014.
Origins in Japan[edit]
Since March 1949, a Yamaguchi-based company, Ogori Shōji (which, until then, had been operating men's clothing shops called "Men's Shop OS") existed in Ube, Yamaguchi.
In May 1985, they opened a unisex casual wear store in Fukuro-machi, Naka-ku, Hiroshima under the name "Unique Clothing Warehouse". It was at this time that the name "Uniqlo" was born, as a contraction of "unique clothing". In September 1991, the name of the company was changed from "Ogori Shōji" to "Fast Retailing", and by April 1994, there were over 100 Uniqlo stores operating throughout Japan.
Private-label strategy[edit]
In 1997, Fast Retailing adopted a set of strategies from American retailer The Gap, known as "SPA" (for specialty-store/retailer of private-label apparel), meaning that they would produce their own clothing and sell it exclusively. Uniqlo had begun outsourcing their clothing manufacturing to factories in China where labour was cheap, a well-established corporate practice. Japan was in the depths of a recession at the time, and the low-cost goods proved popular. Their advertising campaigns also proved fruitful.[2]
" | In creating its clothing lines, Uniqlo embraces both shun and kino-bi. Shun means 'timing, best timing, but also at the same time it's a trend,' something that's updated and just in time, neither early nor late. The company offers clothing basics, but basics that are current, that respond to what's going on today in art and design. Kino-bi means function and beauty, joined together: the clothing is presented in an organized, rational manner, and that very organization and rationality creates an artistic pattern and rhythm. All these qualities reflect the defining characteristics of modern Japanese culture, modern 'Japaneseness.' | " |
—Nobuo Domae, CEO, Uniqlo USA (April 2007)[1] |
In November 1998, they opened their first urban Uniqlo store in Tokyo's trendy Harajuku district, and outlets soon spread to major cities throughout Japan. In 2001, sales turnover and gross profit reached a new peak, with over 500 retail stores in Japan. When Uniqlo decided to expand overseas, it separated Uniqlo from the parent company,[1] and established Fast Retailing (Jiangsu) Apparel Co., Ltd. in China. In 2002 their first Chinese Uniqlo outlet was opened in Shanghai along with four overseas outlets in London, England.
But sales did not go well in England, and stocks in Japanese warehouses were overflowing. In 2002 and 2003, Uniqlo profits dropped sharply.[citation needed] In 2004, the company began joint ventures with Japanese fashion magazines, and hired such celebrities as Norika Fujiwara to appear in commercials. They teamed up with new designers, and profits rose, including at London outlets. The acquisition of other fashion companies by Fast Retailing also helped the struggling company get back on its feet.[citation needed]
2005 saw more overseas expansion, with stores opening in the United States (New York), Hong Kong (Tsim Sha Tsui) and South Korea (Seoul), their South Korean expansion being part of a joint venture with Lotte. As of year-end 2005, in addition to its overseas holdings, Uniqlo had around 700 stores within Japan.[citation needed] By 2006 sales were $4 billion.[1] By April 2007, the company had set a global sales goal of $10 billion and a ranking among the top five global retailers, joining what at the time was Gap, H&M, Inditex, and Limited Brands.[1]
Fast Retailing signed a design consulting contract for Uniqlo products with fashion designer Jil Sander in March 2009.[3] Shiatzy Chen has been approached by Uniqlo to produce a capsule collection of ready to wear pieces to launch in November 2010 while Asia's largest Uniqlo store outside Japan opened its doors in Kuala Lumpur in the same month.
Sporting events[edit]
Uniqlo furnished the uniforms for Japan's Olympic athletes in the 1998, 2002, and 2004 Olympic Games, as well as the uniforms for J.League's Thespa Kusatsu team. Current No. 3 player in the World Golf Ranking Adam Scott wore Uniqlo when he won the 2013 Masters at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, USA. Current No. 2 ATP tennis player Novak Djokovic also wore Uniqlo shirts and shorts at the French Open, Wimbledon, US Open, and Australian Open, as does Japanese No. 1 Kei Nishikori.
2020 goals[edit]
On September 2, 2009, Fast Retailing Co., Ltd. announced that the company would target annual group sales of 5 trillion yen (about 61.2 billion US dollars) and pretax profit from operations of 1 trillion yen (about 12.2 billion US dollars) by 2020. This means that the company is aiming to become the world's biggest Specialty retailer of Private label Apparel with a continuous growth rate of 20% per year. The figure breaks down as one trillion yen from Uniqlo's Japan business, three trillion yen from its international business, and one trillion yen from "Japan-related and global brand business."[clarify] The company's international business target breaks down as one trillion yen in China, one trillion in other Asian countries and one trillion in Europe and the United States.[4]
Worldwide stores[edit]
United States[edit]
In 2005, Uniqlo launched in the US market by "quietly" opening three mall stores in New Jersey: Menlo Park, Rockaway Townsquare, and Freehold Raceway.[5] In November 2006, Uniqlo opened its first flagship store in the SoHo fashion district of Manhattan, New York City. New fashion designers have joined the store's team to boost and rebirth fashion concepts catering to the U.S. market.[6] The opening of the Manhattan store was followed in September 2007 by the closing of Uniqlo's three New Jersey locations, leaving the count of North American stores at one.[7] In October 2011, Uniqlo opened its second and third flagship locations on Fifth Avenue and 34th Street near Herald Square in New York City. On September 28, 2012 Uniqlo has opened its largest mall store worldwide in New Jersey's Garden State Plaza Mall (Paramus); serving as the Flagship for all of the future mall locations of the retailer.[8]
Uniqlo has announced a desire to open up to 200 stores, located in every major U.S. city,[9] It has a goal of reaching $10 billion in North American sales by 2020. Its first West Coast flagship store, opened in October 2012 on Powell Street in San Francisco's Union Square.[10] Currently Uniqlo has announced it will open an additional five new stores in the United States for the spring and summer of 2014, while further new locations are being planned for the fall for Boston, King of Prussia Mall, downtown Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and Southern California.[11]

T-shirt convenience store[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (December 2012) |
A store concept called "UT Project", a futuristic convenience store for t-shirts, was launched on April 28, 2007 in Harajuku, Tokyo. Each t-shirt style is displayed on forms in stainless steel display cases, with individual t-shirts packaged in clear plastic canisters resembling tennis ball cans. The t-shirts are stored on open shelves, making the shopping experience virtually self-service.
The project featured a limited-edition collection of t-shirts designed by renowned artists, designers, photographers and musicians including Terry Richardson, Nobuyoshi Araki, Bjorn Copeland of Black Dice, Kim Jones, Peter Saville, Gareth Pugh.
This section requires expansion. (September 2009) |
Uniqlock, a web-based Flash widget as well as downloadable screensaver combination of Music-Dance-Clock, was launched on June 15, 2007. Season 1[29] features four girls auditioned from YouTube wearing Uniqlo's 20 color dry polo shirt, dancing freestyles similar to ballet, with background music composed by Fantastic Plastic Machine. Blog-parts were Flash components provided so that Uniqlock can be inserted into individual blog pages. Uniqlock soon gained popularity, as shown in its World Uniqlock page. Until November 2008 there were up to 191 million clicks from over 200 countries, with up to 40,000 blog-parts in 88 countries. Uniqlock Season 2,[30] launched in November 2007, featured Cashemere Knits, with the same dancers, dance style, as well background. The movie quality was improved, and dancers would appear to be asleep if the time in the specified region is nighttime. Also in each hour special clips would be shown instead; Season 2 features 2 men playing music, doing cleanup chores. In season 3[31] 20 color t-shirt promotion, 4 new dancers were introduced in addition to the original 4, switched by hour. On August 31, 2009, Season Six premiered in the new setting of Paris, France. The clock's time was also changed to display the time in Paris.
Grameen UNIQLO[edit]
In 2010, UNIQLO partnered with Grameen Healthcare Trust in Bangladesh to promote social businesses. The social businesses are aimed to address issues of poverty, illiteracy and poor sanitation, by selling clothes that the poor can afford, with profits invested in these businesses.[32] Within three years, the goal of this initiative is to create 1,500 jobs and have a total of 1 million units of production and sales.[33]
The German fashion designer Jil Sander, appreciated for her minimalist aesthetic, joined the Uniqlo in 2009, and was appointed creative director of the brand's menswear and womenswear - as well as launching a new label, +J collection, which won 2011 Brit Insurance Design Fashion Award. Sander sees a thrill in offering a utopian ideal of high-quality clothing to the masses. 'I like the concept of basic clothes in a democratic world,' she said. 'Uniqlo reminds me of Apple Computers; fantastic design for everyone. And I like what is Japanese about Uniqlo, a strong sense of tradition, the orderly approach to everything, great know-how and logistics.'[34]

In Harold Pinter's No Man's Land, according to press notes, "two elderly writers, having met in a London pub, continue drinking and talking into the night. All might be well, until the return home of two younger men. Their relationships are exposed, with menace and hilarity, in one of Pinter's most entertaining plays."
In Waiting for Godot, "two wanderers wait by a lonely tree, to meet up with Mr. Godot, who they hope will change their lives for the better. Instead, another couple of eccentric travellers arrive, one man on the end of the other's rope. The results are both funny and dangerous."
Waiting for Godot played a critically acclaimed, sold-out run in London's West End in 2009 with McKellen and Stewart.
No Man's Land played a recent, pre-Broadway engagement at Berkeley Repertory Theatre.
No Man's Land and Waiting for Godot are being produced on Broadway by Stuart Thompson and NOMANGO Productions. NOMANGO Productions is a consortium of Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Sean Mathias and a group of investors.

These hardcore boots have a lighthearted style that's ready for frosty fun. The EVA-molded shell is lightweight on little frolicking feet, but the removable sock liners, aluminum insulation and waterproof construction promise serious chill-beating protection. The easy bungee lace and adjustable Velcro instep cinch feet in and keep 'em toasty while the plush faux fur collar and cheerful snowflake embroidery add snow-bunny flair that's absolutely irresistible.

Student Evaluation
At St. John's, the primary virtue is intellectual: an engagement with
the community of learning and individual progress throughout the
course of the program. To evaluate academic standing, then, the
college attempts to assess students based on their actual progress—not
in terms, for instance, of their test-taking proficiency. Tests, there-
fore, are kept to aminimumand consist mostly of occasional quizzes
inmusic, languages, andmathematics, where it is especially impor-
tant to build a foundation for later work. Grades, too, are considered a
distraction from the important work at hand; although tutors record
themand students have access to them for graduate school or transfer
purposes, they are reported to a student only upon request.
Instead of facing the pressure of tests and grades, students
work daily to craft their own education through the details of
demonstrating and translating as well as the give and take
of discussion. Each student is responsible for the teaching and
learning of each class—and because classes are small, tutors
observe each student's participation and progress on a continual
basis. In all of their classes, students write essays on the works
they are studying. For essays submitted in seminar, oral examina-
tions are conducted by the seminar leaders.
Also at the end of each semester as freshmen, sophomores,
and juniors, each student's progress is assessed by the student's
tutors in what is known as a Don Rag, a meeting in which the
student receives assessment of previous work, advice about how to
improve, and an opportunity to discuss what has been said. At the
end of each student's sophomore year, the college's Instruction
Committee reviews the first two years of work and decides if the
student is prepared to do the work of the junior and senior years.
The culmination of a student's undergraduate years is
the senior essay, which leads—after a public oral examination in
which the student and a three-tutor committee discuss the essay—
to the Bachelor of Arts degree.
What is
What is the senior essay?
A work of critical thinking ranging from 20 to 40 pages, the senior essay explores a
question or topic of particular interest to each student, provided it is approved by the
dean. Senior essays draw upon many of the skills acquired at St. John's—from careful
reading and writing to detailed analysis and persuasive argument.
