National Drinking Water Database
Valley View Mobile Home Park - Midland, TX
Serves 50 people - Test data available: 2004-2007
This drinking water quality report shows results of tests conducted by the water utility and provided to the Environmental Working Group (EWG) by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality . It is part of EWG's national database that includes 47,667 drinking water utilities and 20 million test results. Water utilities nationwide detected more than 300 pollutants between 2004 and 2009. More than half of these chemicals are unregulated, legal in any amount. Despite this widespread contamination, the federal government invests few resources to protecting rivers, reservoirs, and groundwater from pollution in the first place. The information below summarizes test results for this utility and lists potential health concerns.

Information on violations is drawn directly from EPA's national violations database in the Agency's Safe Drinking Water Information System. Analyses by others have raised questions about the quality of the information in EPA's database. For the purposes of this investigation, EWG is not showing below or including in our analyses, those violations for individual water suppliers that occurred on days for which the total number of violations assigned by EPA to that water supplier was greater than 20. This criteria was based on common characteristics of incorrect violations data as identified by water utilities, from a review of EPA's violations data by several hundred utilities prior to the release of EWG's investigation.

À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
This charming half day tour begins with a scenic drive through the Dutch countryside to the village of Zaandam. Arriving at the village, your guide will lead you through the faithfully re-created town of Zaanse Schans. This carefully designed open air museum was built to authentically replicate the Zaan community of around 1700 and today is a very popular attraction. As you stroll through the cobbled streets watching craftsmen practising the trades of yesterday, you'll get a glimpse of what Dutch life was once like.
Following your visit, a short coach transfer takes you to the tranquil 17th century town of Edam, best known for its distinctive Edam cheese. First, you'll enjoy a short walking tour past picturesque canals, traditional drawbridges and charming homes with overflowing flower gardens, before being afforded some free time to stroll around on your own. Perhaps you'll want to use the time to further explore this delightful town or purchase a special souvenir as a memento of your visit.
Re-joining your coach, you'll be transferred back to the pier in Amsterdam where your tour concludes.
Please note: This tour includes approximately 1 1/2 hours of walking - at times over cobblestone surfaces. Those guests with mobility concerns are cautioned to evaluate their personal level of ability and stamina. Caps and flat, comfortable walking shoes are suggested.

Bob clark. can you please stop using guesswork about the skylon design? It would please me greatly if you actually checked the facts before making claims about how something is suposed to work.
The skylon engine does not gimbal. pitch and roll is done with flight controll surfaces. pitch is controlled by forward canards. (those little wing like thingies on the nose of the vehicle you know) and roll is controlled with an all moving tailfin. once out of the atmosphere controll is maintained with the use of fixed forward and aft RCS thrusters.
The main reason for using hydrogen as fuel in skylon is not ISP. it's the fact that a vehicle of this kind needs an enourmous amount of very cold coolant. Luck has it that hydrogen is excelent as both. Denser fuels cannot act as a coolant in this manner, and is hence limited to an air breathing speed below mach 3,5 barring any revolutions in high temperature alloys.
The second advantage to using hydrogen is that it fits with a large volume low density vehicle of the kind that get's to have a fairly benign re-entry. This allows the use of much more dammage resistant materials than what the shuttle is allowed to use. This is of critical importanse to the safety and practicality of skylon as a launch vehicle.
If you actually read the 2004 documents on REL's website you will find the exact trades done when selecting fuel type. ISP was a minor factor. so minor it's hardly even mentioned.
You are the one doing the asuming here. not REL. You are asuming that RP1 is a superior fuel because it's denser. but that is just one factor in the kind of trades you need to do when selecting fuel types.
@Danscope. If everyone was thinking like you we would still be living in caves and eating our food raw. I'f you havent actually noticed yet the skylon vehicle is dependant on a critical item of brand new technology. without whitch a vehicle like skylon would not be capable of working at all. Namely preecooled air breathing rocketry. nobody has made that work all that well before. REL is changing that trend as we speak. so how about waiting with the doom and gloom til they have concluded their technology demonstration programme hey? We will know for sure in 2012 or thereabouts.

text: I have had many replies as to why the Vikings will and should keep Daunte Culpepper. One that i have seen alot is that you can not imagine anyone else as QB for the Vikings. well I am here to tell you that players come and go the only loyality in the NFL or any pro sport for that fact is the almighty dollar. Players will come and go owners and coaches come and go! Sometimes a player needs to be traded just to get "new life" with another team a hero one year a goat the next it is the nature of the game. I still believe a QB must first and foremost be a leader! I as of yet have not seen Daunte step into that role. After five years in the NFL if your starting QB is not a leader on the field then he probably never will be! I say trade him if the price is right! That also goes for any player on the team. Team chemistry is a tricky thing and is very hard to get it just right that was one reason why Chris Carter was let go. It takes more than just being a star whith good numbers the things that go on in a locker as well as on the field are all noted by the players. We as fans do not really know what goes on "inside" with a team. There are and will alwas be personal feelings involved!So change is also part of the game.

TOKYO -- The interior of the late artist Taro Okamoto's Tower of the Sun, a rarely seen part of the symbol of the 1970 Japan World Exposition held in Osaka Prefecture, is to be permanently opened to the public as early as fiscal 2014.
Inside the 230-foot is a 134-foot work of art called the Tree of Life, which was created by Okamoto while he worked on the tower.
"The Tower of the Sun and the Tree of Life are integral parts of the work," said an expert, praising the move by the Commemorative Organization for the Japan World Exposition '70. "You can only really appreciate Taro's message when you see them both."
A representative of the organization said, "It's a precious asset that lets people feel the atmosphere of the expo." The organization manages Expo '70 Commemorative Park, home to the Tower of the Sun. "I hope many people will come and see it," the representative said.
The Tree of Life was opened to the public in 1970 during the expo.
The Tree of Life stands inside the massive red-walled interior of the tower. Its steel branches, painted red, blue, yellow and green, once displayed about 300 models (now reduced to 85) of a monad, amphibian, dinosaur and so on, spiraling out from the root and ending with humans at the top, representing the process of evolution.
After the expo, the Tree of Life closed due to the huge maintenance costs and safety concerns.
The tower's interior was partially opened to the public from 2003 to 2007 in response to public requests, but closed again after it was discovered that it did not meet earthquake-resistance standards.
The commemorative organization plans this fiscal year to begin structural renovations to make the tower earthquake resistant and replace an obsolete elevator with stairs so visitors can walk up as they view the Tree of Life. The Osaka city government will take over administration of the tower's maintenance after the commemorative organization is disbanded in March 2014.

FLORENCE, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities in southern Arizona say a traffic stop led to the discovery of more than 560 pounds of marijuana in a stash house on the Tohono O'odham Indian Reservation.
The Pinal County Sheriff's Office says a task force also found 10 people hiding during the raid Sunday.
A sheriff's deputy had stopped a vehicle along State Route 84 near Stanfield that authorities were seeking for possible involvement in smuggling operations.
The sheriff's office says a deputy detained the driver, and authorities were able to link the vehicle to a house in Cockleburr Village.
Authorities say the 10 people were in the United States illegally. 9 of them were booked into the county detention center. The other person was turned over to the U.S. Border Patrol.

Updated 2:01 p.m. EST on Tuesday, Sept. 18
This is a good week to be hitting the waiver wire. We have another week of data on which to base our decisions, and we have another week to eliminate the emotion that can sometimes cloud tough roster moves, such as cutting ties with your precious sleepers of August.
If you have some roster house-cleaning ahead of you, we've got your back. The suggestions below are a function of matchups, expected opportunities and other factors. As a general rule, we will focus only upon players available in more than 50 percent of Yahoo! fantasy leagues.
Rams QB Sam Bradford (owned in 21 percent of Yahoo! leagues) — If you have the roster space, the No. 1 overall pick in 2010 probably merits a claim. It's too early to say that Bradford's on his way to living up to the high expectations that have followed him since he came out of Oklahoma, but it's not too early to pick him up and hope for the best, given how he's played in the first two games of 2012 (43-of-60 passing, 508 yards, four TDs, one interception, 112.4 QB rating).
Chiefs QB Matt Cassel (25 percent) — I'll have a little more on Cassel in my weekly "Exploit or Avoid" feature on Wednesday. For now, let's safely say that he's an attractive waiver-wire option.
Vikings QB Christian Ponder (11 percent) — He should be owned in more leagues, considering his first two starts of 2012. Ponder, who's yet to throw a pick, has completed 47-of-62 passes for 515 yards with two TDs.
Keep an eye on …
Browns QB Brandon Weeden (11 percent) — Showed some promise in Week Two, throwing for 322 yards and a pair of scores at Cincinnati. He's really only a serious consideration in certain leagues — no need to go out and add him in smaller leagues that start one QB just yet. However, if you need all the QB help you can get — looking at you, owners in huge two-QB formats — then he's a little interesting after Week Two.
Jaguars QB Chad Henne (1 percent) — It depends on whether Blaine Gabbert plays in Week Three. If Gabbert's out, or if he's a game-time decision, owners in large leagues with the roster space might just pick Henne up and see what happens.
Running backs
Giants RB Andre Brown (11 percent) — Not sure he has a lot of long-term value, but he got more work than David Wilson after Ahmad Bradshaw left Sunday's game with a neck injury. I'm still high on Wilson from a full-season perspective, but Brown might be the Giants' back to play in Week Three if Bradshaw can't go.
Lions RB Mikel Leshoure (34 percent) — He's eligible to return from suspension this week. I believe his fantasy value will increase, and perhaps quickly, once he's back on the field. If you have the roster space, pick him up.
Rams RB Daryl Richardson (5 percent) — Showed a little promise in extended action for Steven Jackson (thigh) in Week Two, rushing for 83 yards on 15 carries. I'd have no problem with owners in bigger leagues taking a flyer on him, though Jackson clearly remains the featured back in St. Louis.
Keep an eye on …
Titans RB Jamie Harper (0 percent) — Hey, Chris Johnson has 21 rushing yards through two games.
49ers RB Kendall Hunter (21 percent) — Like what I've seen from him this season. If you're relying on Frank Gore and Hunter's on waivers, this is the time to pick him up.
Wide receivers
Rams WR Danny Amendola (48 percent) — I'm obligated to mention him, as he was still available in more than 50 percent of leagues as of Monday night. You know he's worth a roster spot. Go get him. One stat before we bid adieu to him, for we won't be able to next week: He's caught 80 percent of the passes thrown his way this season (20-230-1 in 25 targets).
Bengals WR Andrew Hawkins (11 percent) — He wasn't targted as much in Week Two as he was in his breakout season opener at Baltimore, but his nifty 50-yard catch-and-run TD highlights his playmaking ability. He's not a bad option in bigger leagues.
Dolphins WR Brian Hartline (4 percent) — I'd have to think he gets added in more leagues this week after being targeted 20 times in the first two games and catching 12-161.
Panthers WR Brandon LaFell (33 percent) — Through two games, he's been the second-most targeted Panthers pass catcher (13), and he's racked up nine catches for 155 yards for a potent Carolina offense.
Keep an eye on …
Vikings WR Jerome Simpson (10 percent) — Eligible to return from an NFL suspension after Week Three and likely to have a role in the Vikings' passing game.
Tight ends
Giants TE Martellus Bennett (36 percent) — Has TDs in his first two games; surely a consideration for those trying to replace Aaron Hernandez for a few weeks.
Vikings TE Kyle Rudolph (35 percent) — Has caught 8-102 (12 targets) in the first two games, and he caught his first TD pass of the season in Week Two. He's second on the Vikings in targets to Percy Harvin entering Week Three.
Steelers TE Heath Miller (33 percent) — I know, I know — I've mentioned him before, but he's caught TDs in his first two games, and he's going to get enough quality scoring opportunities in the Steelers' offense to be valuable in bigger leagues.
Ravens TE Dennis Pitta (31 percent) — He was targeted 15 times in Week Two. Fifteen! He's a major player in this offense. He shouldn't make this list next week; he's simply too valuable to leave on waivers.
Free-agent TE Kellen Winslow (7 percent) — Should Winslow officially sign with New England, he would be an option in bigger leagues, but I prefer the other four tight ends listed as waiver claims.

Written by a guest writer for the Barking Carnival in reaction to Jim Tressell's ignomious departure from OSU, this piece absolutely shreds any arguments put forth by those clowns across town that 'it's impossible to keep track of 85 guys'

Students wishing to have a new Campus Club officially recognized must complete the following steps (all materials/links may be found at www.oit.edu/studentorgs):
New to planning events? Need resources on how, when and who to plan events with? Click on any of the links below for more information:
In order for clubs to remain in good standing at Oregon Tech, they must re-register annually and meet the ongoing requirements of recognized clubs. For the full list of requirements, see the RSO Handbook.
Special consideration funding is available for clubs that are just starting out, clubs that didn't receive a budget for the current year, and clubs that have or expect to incur unanticipated costs. To apply for special consideration funds, clubs must be officially recognized and in good standing. They must complete a Special Consideration Funding Form and submit it to the ASOIT Finance Officer. Requests must be made at least two weeks prior to the event or purchase in order to allow time for processing, and no money will be reimbursed after an event has occurred or purchase has been made.
A deposit form is available for clubs to use in preparation for depositing funds from a fundraiser or donation. It is highly recommended that clubs have this form at the START of an event/fundraiser so that it can be completed before going to the Cashier's office. This will help make the deposit more efficient, and can help clubs to verify dollar amounts immediately following an event.
All cash deposits should be made within 24 hours of collection, and must be given in a sealed bag or locked bag. When you make deposits in a timely manner, you reduce the risk of losing or misplacing funds. In the event that the cashier's office is closed, your advisor may be able to store your funds in a safe place. You may also store funds temporarily in the Campus Life safe, but only if the Cashier office is closed.
If you are hosting an event where you'll need to make change, you can check out a cash box from the Cashier office. Please email the Cashier at firstname.lastname@example.com at least two days prior to the event. After the event or fund raising activity has concluded for the day, deposit your funds within 24 hours. If you have questions or need help please see the Director of Campus Life.
Use of Purchasing Cards (P-Cards): a club Advisor may request the use of a P-card for purchasing. These cards are managed by Campus Life, and may be checked out and used by a club advisor only, on behalf of the club. Any advisor who wishes to be an approved P-card user must contact Denise Reid to get set up and approved for use.
Once purchases are made with a P-card, the advisor must return the card and receipts immediately to Campus Life, and complete a short form that explains the details and purpose of the purchases made. Campus Life will then process the reconciliation of the related charges.
Forms and processes for University-related travel are managed by the Department of Campus Safety. Visit Travel Resources for more information.
Two forms are required for reimbursements of travel costs; the travel authorization and travel reimbursement form. The Authorization form must be filled out prior to traveling and the Reimbursement form is a follow up to be completed and turned in within five days of travel.
The State of Oregon allows students and employees a per diem allowance for food when traveling. Current per diem amounts are $13 for breakfast, $13 for lunch, and $26 for dinner (per person). Clubs may choose to request lower per diem amounts for trips in order to reduce the total amount spent on food from their organization's budget.
Conferences and competitions often provide some meals as part of their agenda. Hotels often provide breakfast as part of your stay as well. Club officers should take this into consideration when calculating meals that are not provided and vote on a per diem that fits their club budget.
To pay for meals during travel, advisors can request a cash advance. The advisor, or Campus Life staff, may utilize an ATM to obtain a cash advance to cover the total amount. Receipts for a cash advance should be submitted with the credit card statement (original) and travel paperwork (copy, with a note stating where the original is).
Event Approval Form must be completed for every event where budget money would be used, both on and off campus (this includes events, programs, and meetings). This form must be completed two weeks prior to the event.
Upon completion of the event, the group must turn the event approval form in to the Campus Life office, along with itemized receipts for purchases, an attendance sign-in sheet, a meeting/program agenda and any supporting information. Please answer the questions: who, what, when, where and why. Whenever an organization is putting on an event that requires a fee to participate, an Event Sign-Up Sheet is used by the cashier to keep track of those who have already paid.
Food may be served at two recruitment events and one end-of-year event per academic year. An exception to this rule is when an organization hosts a campus-wide event for which they have prepared a poster, flyer, advertisement, Tech News Daily announcement, EDGE ad or other evidence that shows that all Oregon Tech students were invited to participate.
Sodexo, our on-campus dining and catering service, has a contractual first right of refusal for catering any events and programs held on campus. This means that when planning to serve food at an event, your group must give first opportunity for catering to Sodexo. The catering manager may accept the job, or may pass and give your group permission to obtain food/catering from an outside source.
Groups wishing to obtain food and/or catering services from a business other than Sodexo must complete the Food Service Exception Form, found on the Campus Life website, and get all appropriate signatures, before making arrangements.
For catering with Sodexo, contact David Hveem (catering manager) to determine the type of service and number of volunteers needed. During this meeting, table set-up, linen requirements, number of volunteers needed for set up, meal service, and clean up should be discussed. *Your group should go to this meeting prepared with a specific budget amount available for food and a number of expected guests/participants to be served.

Pisco is the largest port between Callao and Matarani, Peru. There are two parts of town: Pisco Pueblo with its colonial-style homes; and Pisco Puerto, which, apart from fisheries, has been replaced as a port by the deep-water Puerto General San Martin. This area was also home of the Paracas culture, and in August 1820, the great liberator General San Martin landed on its coast, marking Pisco as the birthplace of Peru's struggle for independence.
The following Shore Excursions are available for this port on this cruise, and may be reserved beginning 240 days before the cruise begins for guests receiving Concierge amenities, and 180 days before the cruise begins for all other guests. Guests receiving Concierge amenities will receive a 5% discount off of the prices shown below for Regent Choice tours.
The National Reserve of Paracas is one of the most important protected areas of Peru. Its conservation is fundamental for the protection of the coastal-marine biodiversity. The Reserve protects a part of the coastal desert of the subtropical Pacific and waters of the Humboldt Current, which is characterized by one of the highest levels of productivity in the world because of the coastal upwelling.
The Paracas National Reserve presents one of the most beautiful desert scenarios of the Peruvian coasts. The numerous desert mountains change their colors each day from different tones of yellow to pinkish-reds. The coastal cliffs are offering scenaric attractions like the famous "Cathedral" (la Catedral), an impressive rock arc used by several species of sea birds to breed on its walls. Another impressive look is the "monk" a stone pillar located on a small rocky outcrop in the sea . Many species find refuge here such as seals and sea lions, Humboldt penguins, sea otters, dolphins and porpoises, and more than a hundred species of seabirds, both resident and migratory. Some of the latter are the Andean condor, flamingoes, cormorants, blue-footed boobies and pelicans.
The reserve is also an important cultural site as it gave birth to a pre-inca culture whose remains can be seen in the small local museum exhibiting the burial sites discovered by the Peruvian Archaeologist Julio C. Tello, under the Paracas desert in 1925, a small collection of weavings is also on display, which will be visited before returning to the ship.

Maya Abdominal Massage
Maya Abdominal Massage
By Catherine S. Gregory
My path to motherhood came as a surprise. I didn't expect to jumpstart my fertility on the beaches of the Yucatan, but that's exactly what happened when I booked a relaxing, two-hour Maya massage session with a traditional healer. After the massage, the healer told me through a translator that women sought his work when they had difficulty conceiving. He looked me in the eye as he spoke to me, and the translator reported that I no longer had fertility problems. I was taken aback because I hadn't mentioned my concerns about not being able to conceive. But his words proved true. Not long after returning home to a loving reunion with my partner, we discovered I was pregnant.
My massage in Mexico included Maya uterine massage, an ancient technique used to reposition the displaced uterus. According to the Maya, if a woman's uterus is out of center, so is her whole being. Returning the uterus to its proper position in the pelvis brings a woman into a state of balance—and in my case, into an instant state of fertility.
During my annual exams in the past, gynecologists often mumbled something about my tipped uterus, but whenever I probed for more information, they reassured me: "Don't worry; lots of women have this issue." Yet as I learned more about the uterus through the Maya healing perspective, I realized my retroverted uterus actually contributed to my years of menstrual difficulties and low back pain, as well as my inability to conceive. My backwards-facing cervix had made the basic journey of sperm-meets-egg impossible.
Maya massage has gained popularity in the US and Europe through the help of Dr. Rosita Arvigo, an American naprapathic physician who trained for more than a decade with one of the great Maya shamans of Belize, Don Elijio Panti. Arvigo has trained more than 200 healthcare practitioners to perform the Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Massage (ATMAM). Her holistic healing method centers around uterine massage, using noninvasive, external massage to reposition the uterus and other abdominal organs and make skeletal corrections to enhance the flow of blood, nerve impulse, lymphatic fluid, and life energy to those organs.
Arvigo practitioners also look to the menstrual cycle for clues to reproductive health, but the position of the uterus ranks as their most important assessment. "Undiagnosed uterine prolapse is a big issue affecting fertility," says Arvigo, explaining that high-impact sports, falls or injuries to the tailbone or sacrum, heavy lifting, and even pregnancy and childbirth can easily displace the uterus. Repositioning it often corrects the issues causing infertility, such as uterine lining health, ovarian dysfunction, hormonal imbalance, and obstructions such as blocked tubes, surgical adhesions, or fibroids.
Although uterine massage is an ancient technique—a specialty not only of the Maya, but also of other indigenous culture...

Take your filthy paws off my code, you damn dirty ape!
by Dave on Dec.03, 2007, under Intense Nonsense
I admit, it's no feat of intellect to defeat me in a competitive round of Mr. Elephant's Matching Game, but can we not cater to this stereotype any longer? I thought we got past all this already?
According to Tetsuro Matsuzawa of Kyoto University:
"young chimpanzees at the age of 5 — have a better performance in a memory task than humans"
This may be an accurate statement when compared to some of us, myself included, who spend their entire lives glued to a mind numbing LCD screen flickering subliminal messages around the clock, but I'd like to see Ayumu remember how many times he's been told not to fling his poo at passersby when these tests are over. And why are we researching such a thing to begin with? Am I seeing signs that the big companies are looking into our nearest cousins in the animal kingdom as possible replacements for my rich internet wonders? I wouldn't put it past them.

Texas House Destroyed as Firefighters Run Out of Water
Posted: 07-11-2009
Athens Daily Review (Texas)
A home near Lake Athens caught fire Friday afternoon and burned almost to the ground.
The Athens Fire Department was called to the Lake Front Shores subdivision where the home of Gary and Lynda Espy was fully engulfed in flames.
"I heard a popping sound near the north end of the house and I thought it was someone outside popping fireworks," Mr. Espy said. "I was really just going outside to see who it might be when I smelled smoke."
He said he smelled a lot of smoke and decided he better call 9-1-1.
By the time the trucks arrived, fire was coming from the roof and the front of the home.
"The last few days I have been noticing the pool pump getting very hot, but I just thought it was because it was so hot outside," Espy said. "I really don't know where it (the fire) might have started."
The Brownsboro Fire Department assisted with the blaze. Mixed with the heat, the blaze caused firemen to get overheated and in need of medical attention.
Then it only got worse.
"We're out of water," a Brownsboro firefighter said.
In fact, both departments at one point had to wait on water to be delivered from the North 19 Fire Rescue water truck.
The firefighters could only stand by while the house crumbled in flames. A neighbor with a four-wheeler and a large water tank, doused the blaze as much as possible during the 15 to 20 minutes they were waiting.
"I just really never thought anything like this would happen," Espy said. "I guess you can just never know when something like this will happen."
Henderson County Fire Marshal John Holcomb's office will do a complete investigation to learn the cause of the blaze.

Perhaps their department doesnt so a whole lot of drafting and does not have hard suction? We dont have it at all. Well we do have an OLD piece in storage somewhere. Maybe the pool was an indoor pool. And maybe that was the name of the development and they happened to be miles from the lake.

Clearly the article is missing some important information regarding the water problem.
While it sounds silly, you have to realize that lakefront doesn't neccessarily mean you can just drive right up to the lake. In this case, the lake is nowhere near the homes or the road or the driveway or anything else.
See the google earth view from the sky.
From the sounds the article, the fire was well on its way before the FD even arrived. There is no readily accessible place to draft with reach of LDH. So they're stuck with what they have on the trucks until mutual aid arrives. ***** happens.
We're very fortunate to have two engines with 1000 gallons each and 3000 gallon tanker. Another 2500 gallon mutual aid tanker is <10 minutes away with other tankers being 10-15 minutes away.Even the burger-flippers at McDonald's probably have some McWackers.

Lakes and pool wont do any good unless you have ACCESS to them.
OK, $hit happens (they call 911), that's why we have jobs. You mean to tell me no one thought prior to this fire "hey, maybe we should have an access point/road to the water source in case of fire". Even if you can't drive up to the water source, there are such things as "dry hydrants".
Granted, no one or no department is perfect and we should learn from this. Now would be a good time for the department to enact an ordinance (or whatever their laws allow) to provide a means of water supply or access to it when a subdivision is constructed.
If you are the AHJ for this area and don't have the tools and equipment (someone said hard suction), then you are not taking a proactive stance and being prepared to do your job.
Sounds like a good case for a TurboDraft setup."This thread is being closed as it is off-topic and not related to the fire industry." - Isn't that what the Off Duty forum was for?
This can happen anywhere. I was at a fire in a neighboring town (actually in another state) and they had to shut down firefighting for a while because they drained the Hydrant system. They had been dumping LARGE quantities of water on the buildings for most of the night (5 story building and adjoining four story building gutted).FF-II/EMT-B/Incident Safety Officer/Photographer
Lancaster Fire DepartmentFirst run area (Fire): Lancaster, NH & Guildhall, VT (84.3 Sq Miles)
First run area (Ambulance): Lancaster & Jefferson, NH; Gilman, Guildhall & Lunenberg, VT (185.1 Sq Miles)
This entire thread exists because someone did nothing but read a newspaper headline and not actually spend 2 minutes looking into it first. I put the name, town, and state into google earth and live maps and could see what the water supply situation was in less than a minute. Try it sometime before bashing.
It was a big *** fire. There was no readily accessible nearby water source. They used up the water on the trucks. Its a fact of life in a community without hydrants and sometimes when the fire is big enough, you just have to wait for mutual aid.Even the burger-flippers at McDonald's probably have some McWackers.
NM, forgive me for comming off in the way that I thought this situation had anything to do with personnel not knowing how to do something or not having the equipment. I was just making that statement in general. Like has been mentioned, it sounds like it was enviromental issuies that hindered them, but from the limited info provided, we may never know.
Sometimes once a house reaches a certain percentage of involvement you actually SAVE the homeowner by not putting it out. Not that I advocate that,just a simple truth.

As a famous Maritime Lawyer says, "Ship Happens" (Thanks Marc) and our job is to be ready for it.
I am making NO JUDGEMENT CALL on this Fire because the Information provided is too scarce, and possibly "Slanted" by a reporter's inexperience in Firefighting. NM, Thanks for the "Air Shot" which helped put things in perspective. Sort of............
Regardless, those VFDs/FDs that have areas of poor or no Water Supply MUST learn to operate within these constraints. PLANNING for a lack of water is absolutely necessary.
1. First and foremost, have Adequate Apparatus and Staffing responding on the INITIAL CALL. If you don't have what you need, and few rural VFDs do, have it coming from elsewhere. My station has a "Fire" Engine, a "Rescue" Engine, a Heavy Rescue, an Ambulance, and several support vehicles. On the initial alarm for a Structure Fire, we get 4 Engines, 2 Ladder trucks, a Heavy Rescue, and additional support units. IF we need Tankers, they come. First alarm gets three, Tanker Task Force gets 4 each time, or the IC can ask for whatever he wants. If he asks for something, he gets it, no questions asked, no limits.
2. Have Accessable water located thru the area. Installing underground Tanks with a "Hydrant" on top, Installing "Drafting Hydrants" or Dry Hydrants as they are often called, at any location that has enough water to supply a Pumper, is another way of getting water. Identify other water access points, such as Boat Ramps, Low Bridges, etc.
3. Have, and use, the equipment that you need for this type of operation. Enough Suction Hose, Floating Pumps, Turbodraft Eductors, Floating Strainers, Jet Strainers, etc. should be available on apparatus that runs this type of area. EVERY Tanker should carry a Folding (Portable) Tank AND it should hold at least 500 gallons more than the tanker carries.
4. Train, Train, Train. Recovering from a mistake in a rural water supply situation ALWAYS takes longer than in the "City" areas with hydrants on every corner. If you're going to beat the Fire, your team has to be better.Never use Force! Get a Bigger Hammer.

[QUOTE=nmfire;1078455]Assuming that is what happened is even more ridiculous. Why would anyone even suggest that.[QUOTE]
Not that this is the case here, but its easy to suspect because it happens every day across the country. The fire department tells the community they werent prepared to handle a fire like that. Wouldnt it be nice if more departments actually preplanned? It isnt like towns just sprout up overnight, right?
Take for example the places that have 1000 GPM pumps and 3" hose in rural areas that dont purchase larger pumps and hose because they dont have hydrants, silly and uneducated (especially places that CAN afford them). But they have the trust of the public. Instead of having 2000 GPM rigs with 5" hose to move water from draft over long distances, they say that that hose and pump is designed for hydrants where you have the water. In fact, its quite the opposite almost. Instead of having a big 4x4 rig designed to draft from water holes, we have every day rigs designed to work on paved roads in places that have hydrants. Take a look at gigs like Sister Bay/Liberty Grove Winsconsin FD, they figured it out.

What little info that can be gathered here tells me the fire had a pretty fair head start. If the fire did not go out in the initial attack (i.e. the first round of water from the initial engines and tanker) then the fire was going to likely be DEFENSIVE from that point on. This is assuming attack occured during the first ten to fifteen minutes after the FD arrived and that they did not run out of water for that time period.
No parcel of property is worth a FF's life. If the firemen were exhausted after the initial round and the fire wasn't out then it sucks to be the homeowner.
Yes, mutual aid, better staffing, improved tools and tactics might have led to a better outcome... There simply is not enough info to tell. Was this older construction? Remodeled? Lightweight? Obstructed location? Were they short staffed? How much involvement was there on arrival?Smoke alarms? Sprinklers?
I'll be in the minority saying this, BUT IF A HOME OWNER DOES NOT WANT THE HOUSE TO BURN DOWN THEN INSTALL WARNING DEVICES (smoke detectors) AND SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS (residential sprinklers, household extinguishers)... AND THE HOME OWNER SHOULD HAVE A PLAN FOR THE EVENTUALITY OF FIRE.
I'm not covering for FD errors, rather at some point we have to acknowledge that the fire that does little or no damage is caught and suppressed early. Otherwise a crap load of fire, smoke and water damage will be the outcome.
Yes there are some -less than adequate- FDs out there. But by and large, most departments can quickly knock a fire with the intial water from a couple of engines and a tanker.
Once it goes defensive then the LIVES OF THE FFs COME FIRST. Don't get overly excited. If you run out of water, was it REALLY going to greatly change the outcome? If they are exhausted then so be it. I feel for the guy who lost his house...But the FD guys can't be left scattered across the lawn with I V bags and sweat ridden clothes for a fire that was likely advanced and likely to take the home to begin with.

Not making excuses but merely offering an opinion.
1) Not enough info in the original story to make a judgement on anything.
2) I have been to barn fires with 14 tankers hauling and still had periods where we were out of water waiting for the next tanker.
3) If it's poor planning, shame on them.
4) Mr Murphy is a Son of a Bitch and even with great planning things go to pieces some times.
By the way my little podunk volly FD bought a 2000 gpm pumper. Our municipal system can't come close to supplying that much water so we installed 2 dry hydrants side by side so we can draft and supply water through the 3500 feet of 5 inch we have. We got a lot of funny looks when we bought that truck!!

Fuuny thing is for quite a while we had the biggest pump in our county and now there is I believe one other 2000 gpm engine.
We actually have the dry hydrants far enough apart where if 2 mutual aid engines were to need to they could set up and draft from one a piece. It would take some creative thinking since they are about 6 feet apart, but it could be done.

The fire isnt the issue here. The water is. Its a failure on the part of the local government to secure a water source for firefighting. How do the homeowners get water for their houses? I assume they all are on private wells. Around our parts developers are required to secure a water source the local fire dept and county certify for the use of fire fighting. If there are water mains then the developer pays to bring feed lines and hydrants in. If the water is wells than they dig and pay for the wells and test them for several years. In past decades they used to put in cisterns. Funny story, back during prohibition a bootlegger filled his cistern with booze. The barn caught fire, our dept was about to draft the booze pit when the farmer stopped him.

Now that the problem has been identified, I'm curious what course of action this department is taking to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Enabling and disabling certain features
Hey guys,
I'm new to BuddyPress so I just want to ask a few questions. Is it possible to turn off certain features of BuddyPress? If so how would one go about doing it? Secondly, do most plugins that work with normal WordPress work with BuddyPress?
Thanks guys

TOLEDO, OH (Toledo News Now) - Cameo Pettaway has been acquitted of all charges in the Springfield Township double murder trial.
After the prosecution rested its case the defense made a motion to dismiss all charges, claiming the prosecution had not met the burden of proof to find Pettaway guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
Judge James Bates agreed, saying there was not enough evidence to warrant the charges and that Pettaway cannot be charged again for the crime because jeopardy is attached to the case.
Pettaway was taken back to jail to be processed for release.
Pettaway and Samuel Williams were both charged in the murders of Johnny Clarke and Lisa Straub back in January 2011.
Closing arguments came Thursday in Williams' trial. The jury deliberated until 9 p.m. Thursday evening and will return Friday morning. The jurors are being sequestered and are unaware that Pettaway was acquitted. Williams faces the death penalty if convicted.
In Williams' trial Wednesday, investigators discussed DNA found at the scene, but stopped short of linking it to Williams or Pettaway. Detectives, DNA experts and the county coroner spoke in the case, however, no new evidence was introduced.
The state admitted most of its evidence was circumstantial. When the defense took the stand, it said the state had to prove beyond reasonable doubt that Williams was responsible for the deaths, and it felt the state failed to do so.
During Pettaway's trial Tuesday, Clarke's father testified about finding the bodies. He recalled the evening saying, "the kids were tortured to death." He also admitted he tried CPR on the bodies before police arrived, possibly compromising the crime scene.
Many of the couple's friends testified about their habits, explaining that Clarke started to use drugs and owed people money.
Monday in court, Straub's parents took the stand against Pettaway and Williams. Prosecutors focused on a cigarette butt found near the bodies, since smoking was not allowed inside the home. They also said it had both Williams and Pettaway's DNA on it.
Bates said the cigarette butt was not enough proof because of its mobility, it could have been left behind days before the killings and it did not prove Pettaway took part in Clarke and Straub's murders.

Diner Reviews
This was a completely different
experience than I had at the other Metropolitan Grille restarant! All the staff members that we dealt with over the night didn't seem to know what was going on. The waitress was extremely inexperienced and it was apparent that she lacked training. The waitress was nice and was trying very hard to help us with whatever we needed, however she was not confident in serving and she didn't know the menu and was very slow. The food was average, however, for the price, I could easily find a restaurant with comparable prices and better quality. Overall, I would not return to this location and I would not recommend it to others."
Dined on 12/7/2012
Unfortunately when we arrived at
the Met for breakfast with a reservation for 11, the doors were not even unlocked. We used the Mall Entrance and after a wait, were seated by the Chef. He did bring us menus however there was no Manager, Hostess, or Waitress on site. After a wait we ended up leaving disappointed and going to the Barley Mill (great food by the way!). I have been to the Met before for dinner/drinks and have not had a terrible experience, however if you're planning on a brunch or breakfast, I'd think twice."
Dined on 12/2/2012
The food was good. Although, we
had to send a steak back...ordered it med rare, it came well done, no juices at all. Waiter said that was how they cooked their steaks. We disagreed, and he had a new one cooked up. It was done properly. Waitress was slow and only checked on us once. Bright spot?...we went on a Saturday and sat on the patio. The community hosts live music in the park across the street on Saturday's. Live music is always a nice touch for dinner."

Select Route:
Another obscure aid climb. Good aid climbing in an awesome place. Wild free climbing at the top of the buttress. Look for a time capsul chained to anchors of pitch 5 or 6. This route was really Todd and Troy's route, they had the first two or three fixed and I was lucky enough to tag along. We had a bunch of fun. Beast of Burden was named for us calling Todd "Keith Richards" whilst on route. We did the route with two bivis and I will never forget the shadows the morning light casts on the New Harmony valley below. This is the sandstone Patagonia...
two crack systems right of Wind Sand Stars. Thin features, pitch 3 goes on the right side of a big roof.
I don't remember... Use what you would use for any zion nailing route... Oh, yeah, bring a bolt kit, we were broke and left a lot of unfilled holes for lead holes. Please add bolts to ladders if you feel inclined. All anchors were 1/2 by 3 1/2 inch bolts and should be good for years to come.

U-turn over shop ban
8:06pm Sunday 23rd February 2014 in News
A judge overturned a ban on a Carterton man entering any UK retail site.
James Wells, 34, of Scott Walk, was handed the ban as a bail condition on February 8 over an alleged theft of £117.84 worth of goods from the Co-op, Eynsham.
On Friday he admitted breaching that condition by entering Tesco Express, St Aldate's, Oxford, on Thursday.
District judge Tim Pattinson said the total ban was not "necessary or proportionate".
He was granted conditional bail to appear at Banbury Magistrates' Court today.

If a judge in England can stop a newspaper from publishing story in England, but can't in Scotland due to the different legal system...
How can a judge in England enforce a ban on entering a retail outlet across the UK?

Greensburg Daily News
Batesville —
Members of Catholic churches in the Batesville Deanery learned June 6 how their parishes will be restructured.
Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin held a press conference at St. Louis Church, where he announced his decisions that will affect 30 parishes. Many members of those churches were in attendance.
He announced three models for the Catholic communities: Merged or consolidated churches create a new parish configuration which is able to provide many more activities and opportunities than the original ones
could have managed on their own. Linked ones are produced when two parishes share a pastoral leader and cooperate in as many ways as possible. Partnerships are created through the use of joint programs, sharing of staff and the use of joint councils, commissions and programs.
Tobin's decisions include:
• St. Anne, Hamburg, and St. Mary of the Rock, St. Mary's, merging into
Holy Family, Oldenburg;
• St. Nicholas, Sunman, and St. Anthony, Morris, being linked and
partnering with St. Louis, Batesville;
• St. John the Evangelist, Enochsburg, and St. Maurice, St. Maurice,
merging and becoming part of a new parish to be established in northern
Decatur County and partnering with St. Mary, Greensburg;
• St. John the Baptist, Dover, St. Joseph, St. Leon, St. Martin,
Yorkville, and St. Paul, New Alsace, merging to form a new parish;
• Holy Guardian Angels, Cedar Grove, merging into St. Michael, Brookville,
and St. Peter, Franklin County, forming a partnership with St. Michael;
• St. Pius, Ripley County, merging into St. Charles Borromeo, Milan, and
that church and St. Mary, Aurora, establishing a parnership;
• St. Denis, Jennings County, merging into Immaculate Conception,
Millhousen, and that church partnering with St. Maurice, Napoleon, and
St. John the Baptist, Osgood;
• St. Joseph, Shelbyville, and St. Vincent de Paul, Shelby County, being
• St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, Bright, and St. Lawrence,
Lawrenceburg, establishing a partnership; and
• St. Mary Magdalene, New Marion, merging into Prince of Peace, Madison.
As a result, St. Anne; Holy Guardian Angels; St. Mary of the Rock; St.
John the Baptist; St. Joseph; St. Martin; St. Paul; St. Denis; St. Mary
Magdalene; St. Pius; St. Maurice, St. Maurice; and St. John the Evangelist
will close.
The archbishop noted that anyone who wants to challenge the decree must file a petition within 10 days.
A parishioner from St. Anne's, Hamburg, tearfully revealed her sorrow with the news that her church was closing. "When I was a young girl, our church burnt down, and 37 years ago a tornado destroyed it .... This is a sad day."
Tobin pointed out, "Believe me, I understand .... The diocese where my mother lived went through this 10 years ago. The parish where she began worshiping as a young girl, where I celebrated my first Mass and where my
father's funeral was closed. Those tears were reproduced in my family and others. That's what made me so gun-shy knowing what the pain was ... However, I think this was a respectful process, and I think the archdiocese is going to be healthier, even though that doesn't take away your pain."
He explained, "Two years ago, pastoral leaders and lay representatives from the parishes in the Batesville Deanery entered a planning process called Connected in the Spirit ... to discern where God is leading the
church in central and southern Indiana and to discuss how the Archdiocese
of Indianapolis should change its structures in order to carry out its mission today and in the future.
"Factors, such as demographic shifts in Catholic populations, concentrated density of a parish in a limited geographical area, history of declining
Mass attendance and sacramental activity, increasing economic challenges that threaten sustainability, decrease in the availability of clergy to staff parishes and review of facilities have influenced the pastoral plan."
Afterwards, as attendees left the church, it was very quiet, and some were visibly upset, while others talked in small groups.
For more information on the archbishop's decree, persons can visit www.archindy.org.

Nov. 29, 2012 — Arguments surrounding alleged open meetings violations were heard Thursday in Carter Circuit Court in the case of Renee Stewart and Patrick Flannery vs. Carter Fiscal Court.
Circuit Judge John David Preston of Lawrence, Johnson and Martin counties presided as special judge for the hearing as Carter Circuit Judge Rebecca Phillips had previously recused herself from the case.
Attorney Sebastian Joy called a total of eight witnesses on behalf of Stewart and Flannery, all of whom testified that the May 29 Fiscal Court meeting was filled to capacity with an overflow crowd in the hallway that could not access the proceedings.
Defense attorney Richard "Sonny" Martin rebutted with three witnesses of his own, including State Trooper Randy McCarty who testified that he saw no individuals waiting in the hallway outside the fiscal courtroom during the May 29 meeting.
The hearing was adjourned early Thursday afternoon after all witness testimony was heard. Judge Preston indicated that he needed to review exhibits presented by both the plaintiff and defendant before rendering his final ruling.
Preston gave no timetable as to when that ruling could be expected.

Off Campus Screening Form - For people that have had a recent screening at their doctor's office
In recent studies it was found that almost 200,000 preventable deaths occur each year in the United States from heart disease and stroke. It was noted that people can greatly reduce their risk by eating less salt, managing their blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes and changing their lifestyle behaviors. The number one cause of preventable death in the United States was attributed to tobacco use which has been linked to several types of cancer, chronic lung and heart disease, pregnancy related issues and other serious health problems.
Beginning January 2014, for employees that use tobacco, the cost for health coverage will be assessed a surcharge of $50.00 per month. If you do not use tobacco, you can sign a "Tobacco-Free Affidavit" and not be charged this surcharge. You can also avoid the surcharge if you are currently using tobacco, but intend to quit AND participate in a tobacco cessation program. Participants will receive the premium reduction upon verification from the third-party showing certification of program completion.

Officials at the Springfield Museums said they found a priceless treasure they had preserved in storage for more than 100 years.
Sometime after 1899, they received a rare wooden helmet which was identified incorrectly as something else.
The helmet was recently brought out for an upcoming exhibit.
A museum curator in Alaska said the Native American war helmet is very rare - fewer than 100 are known to still exist.
Dr. Ellen Savulis is the Curator for Anthropology at the museums. She said the special helmet is also unique.
In the native culture, women are not allowed to touch the helmets. Savulis said the museums will also abide by that rule.
"What we've done here at the museum is established our own protocol for handling such objects out of respect for Tilingit culture and so only male curatorial staff can handle the helmet," said Savulis.
As far as Savulis knows, this is the first time the hand-carved helmet has ever been seen by the public.
If you are interested in catching a glimpse of the helmet, it will go on display Dec. 26.

Derek Bowden named as new Essex Cricket chief executive
1:21pm Monday 4th February 2013 in Sport
ESSEX Cricket are hoping new chief executive Derek Bowden will offer the best of both worlds.
Bowden will take up his position in early in the new season and brings a wealth of business and sporting experience with him.
He spent more than 18 years in various senior management roles at advertising agency Saatchi & Saatchi and was chief executive officer at Ipswich Town.
And Essex Cricket chairman Nigel Hilliard believes Bowden is the ideal man to take the county club forward.
"Derek has a wealth of experience in the commercial and sporting world, which will be of great benefit to the club at a time when we are embarking on a major redevelopment of The Essex County Ground," said Hilliard.
"Once completed the stadium will be a fitting centrepiece to the new City of Chelmsford."
Bowden said: "I'm really looking forward to joining the team at Essex and working with them to create the success that Essex Cricket deserves."
While at Portman Road, Bowden successfully restructured the finances of the Championship side.
He spearheaded commercial activities and also managed the playing budget.
Bowden takes over from former chief executive David East, who left Essex at the end of last year following 12 year in the post. He has taken up a similar post in Abu Dhabi.
