Final Thoughts
Just last week I declared the Patriot Warp V2 to be the fastest consumer drive I have tested to date and gave the drive TweakTown's Best performance Award. To be honest, had these two products been reviewed in reverse order it would have been difficult to award the Warp V2 since the Value for Money category would have scored quite a bit less.
Here we are, just one week after looking at the Warp V2 that cost over 350 Dollars (after MIR) and see that the G.Skill FM-25S2-128GB performs just as well and is nearly 115 Dollars cheaper. I have to hand it to G.Skill for having the courage to take on the market and put out such a remarkable drive and undercut the competition by such a large margin. It would have been easy for G.Skill to undercut the others by 20, 30 or 40 Dollars and still have the same product and bank the extra money, but they went to the mattresses with the FM-25S2-128GB and set a new price performance standard. This was also the case with the G.Skill SLC drive we looked at a couple of weeks ago, G.Skill was able to out price the competitors.
Looking at the new FM-25S2-128GB, it is difficult not to tell everyone to run out and buy one of these drives right now. Even desktop users should take note at the performance and price. The FM-25S2-128GB is a great drive for notebooks, but it would make a good drive for the desktop as well.

The thing that bugs me the most about spectator mode is that when the game is over, there is no notification to the spectators. When I log on and see a friend who I want to play with in a game I usually spectate it thinking to join them when the game is over. Sometimes I end up watching until the end (when its difficult to predict who will win or a surrender vote happens) and my friend is already queueing again before I knew that their game was over. It would be really neat to have maybe just a little popup that tells you when the game has concluded in a corner somewhere. It may or may not be possible depending on how spectator mode is implemented, but it would be a very useful addition if it was possible.

Chandler Regional Medical Center opened the south East Valley's first ostomy clinic last month.
The ostomy clinic will provide care, education and support for individuals living with an ostomy. In the United States, more than 75,000 people each year undergo surgery which results in an ostomy, a surgically created opening in the body for the discharge of body wastes. The most common cause requiring ostomy surgery is cancer treatment.
The ostomy clinic, located on Chandler Regional's campus in the Morrison Building at 1875 W. Frye Road, will be open Monday through Friday by appointment only to (480) 728.3836.

@Potterspop - I work in finance, so I think I can put your mind at rest. Any bank that can handle international transfers will be experienced in the process.
Of course it would be safest to take your statement, to avoid having to read numbers in English. The teller will also have access to a master bank identifier code list if they have any concerns.
Should the worst happen and a mistake is made, the buck stops with whoever made it. So a bank would compensate you for money sent to the wrong account, if they entered the wrong information. Obviously, if you give them incorrect information then you risk losing the money forever.
You will get a copy of the form once the money is wired. Check this carefully against the BIC code on your statement, just to be sure.

Kevin, we have seen Jafar numerous times in Adventureland near Aladdin's Magic Carpets. I like "playing" with the villains! For instance, with Jafar do something to annoy him...like take a long time to get the cap off marker for autograph or take numerous pictures. He will start to tap his foot!
We have seen Captain Hook outside of Pirates of the Caribbean and also in Fantasyland over by Mrs. Pott's Cupboard.
Have also seen the Evil Queen and Queen of Hearts at MGM in the villains store as well as in the hub near the Sorcerer's Hat.
Any CM with a phone has a "character hotline" and can call about any character for you. They will be able to tell you what park and what area and sometimes even a time frame where they can be found. Good luck on your quest!

Hello. I am looking for ideas on how to landscape around my concrete slab patio. I am looking for shrubs/perennials that would look nice. The patio is on the south side of the house so it will be in full sun all day. I am probably going to put either a Serviceberry tree or Crabapple on the SouthWest side of the patio for a little shade. I am removing the rock garden that is in the photo and filling the area in with sod. Should I get rid of the little concrete sidewalk too or would it be good to leave it? I have included a photo of the area. Thanks for any help. I really appreciate it.

My inclination would be to plant some trees in your yard but at a bit of a distance from the patio so that they shade it when they are bigger even if they do not do so now. If they are planted too close to it they will make it feel closed in as well as later create some problems with the upper deck. In fact, I would garden up the yard as a whole with the objective of making the whole yard a pleasant (and shady) place to be, rather than just thinking about the patio. Leave the area right around the patio open. I would definitely keep the little sidewalk. It has a connecting function and once there is something in the yard to go it, will invite you to go there. Continuing it with pavers would be an option, curved or straight. Karin L |
just reposting pics so they're easier to see |
Whats the mulch area next to the patio? |
Thank you Yardvaark for posting my pics here. I appreciate it. Designonline6...awesome program that you used. What is it? It really helps me to see what the ideas will look like. I will check into the trees/shrubs you suggested. Looks really nice. Karinl-Thanks so much for your input. It does make sense to not place a tree or anything right up on the patio. I don't want to feel closed in. drtygrl- The mulch area has a rose bush, burning bush and I place a planter in the middle with some inpatiens and a couple of hummingbird feeders, and some vincas on the ground. Looks nice in the summer time. |

Hi - your stockade fencing already provides privacy, so you're right you don't need to plant for privacy. Some really wonderful low growing full sun plants are lavender, rosemary, small ornamental grasses, small boxwood, drift roses, to name a few. For a full sun area, go with color and fragrance to enjoy in the evenings when you're enjoying the patio. My article, "Landscaping Around Decks, Patios and Porches" will give you a little more insight in what factors you should consider in making your decision. Good luck with your project. If I can be of assistance, you can contact me through my web site www.greenwoodnursery.com. - Cheryl |
Here is a link that might be useful: Gardening with Cheryl
You cut the burning bush and rose bush down to the ground during dormancy? |
Methinks the mulch area is against the house, just barely in view in the first picture, and the rock garden area, to be filled with sod, is in front of the patio. Karin L |
You might want to consider other factors. For the design beyond what your photo shows of the patio and overhead deck. . Among them would be the views from the house out to the neighbors and also down to the garden, where you might want screening versus not blocking views, whether you'd actually prefer some tree height and shading up closer to the deck or prefer it more open, whether that patio is large enough for how you intend to use it or should be expanded, etc. Just proposing some plantings for the limited View you've posted doesn't address any of these larger issues. More photos from different viewpoints within the yard, from the deck looking out and down, and views from inside the house looking out would help give a better idea of the context. My first impression is one of being totally exposed while on that deck, no shade and no interest or potential focus within the existing bare garden. |

I have to confess that I am follicly challenged. Yes folks, I'm pretty bald and have been for a good long time. I gave up long, long ago trying to disguise it or compensate for it.
OK in the late 90's a couple of times I tried to grow a ponytail but every time it would get to a length where I could start to think about putting it into a ponytail, I'd get disgusted with how hot and uncomfortable it was and whack it all off. It took about 6 months to get that long.
So for the last 10 years or so what I've done is get it all whacked off about every 6 weeks. Yep, a number 2 clipper all over. I quickly figured out that going to Super Cuts and spending $15-$16 to get peeled was a waste of money. So I went out and found good old fashioned barbershops. Guys cutting hair on guys. BS'ing about the Chargers or the Padres while getting clipped. Smelling the smells.
And it still cost me $10 a pop. Well, when I started going over to Ed's barbershop rather than Butch's it got a bit cheaper. Ed only charges $8 for a Senior Citizen rate (over 55) but I always tipped him 2 bucks so it was still a ten-spot. So, I've been spending $100 or so a year for the last 10 year to get peeled. And I was still trimming my beard myself—Cheap Bastid is too cheap to pay four bucks for a beard trim.
Now a while back I saw an ad in Fry's for a hair cutting kit for $10. "Hmmmm," I thought to myself, "that's a lot cheaper than going to the barber." How hard could it be to give myself a haircut, especially when it's just getting whacked off the same length all over.
I didn't think anything of it for a year or so and then a couple of months back I took a trip over to Fry's to look around. The $10 clipper was crappy but the $12 clipper set was a good one. So I bought it and brought it home. A 12-piece set! Wow! Of course I only need 3 pieces—the clippers, the #2 or ¼" attachment and the little brush to clean out the clippers.
So, Cheap Bastid spent $12 and so far I've cut my hair 3 times. Damn, I'm money ahead already.
Now it takes a bit longer than going to the barber because of all the gyrations I have to do to give myself a haircut--especially the back of my head and my neck. And the biggest thing is it's a bit messy and I have to go straight from cutting my hair to the shower and hope that I get all those little bitty hairs washed off—which never happens and I end up scratching until the next day.
But what the hell. Don't I look purty? (but when did my ears get so big?) I never knew being cheap could be such hard work.
It's a one person shop and Joanne is a trip and a half. Probably 60'ish, she wears hand knit sheath dresses with a long floral patterned apron. She wears a wide-brimmed leather hat all the time.
I figure I won't start the home cut until my hairline recedes more and I am ready for the short all over look.
Linda--thanks. yeah, we'll spend the money on other things--like groceries
ScanMan--yep, and as long as I have a beard, a "disposable" razor will last me at least 3 months
Jon--thanks Jon
AnotherSteve--there is definitely something to be said for a visit to the barbershop. I wonder how barber's manage to make ends meet.
Thanks to all 3 of you. I'm just an old bald Cheap Bastid, trying to get by and look as good as my 60 years will let me.

Methods of Federal Funding > Earmarks > History of Earmarks
History of Earmark Spending
One line in an 835-page bill, a bill which was not an appropriations bill, sparked the recent debate over congressional earmarks. That line directed substantial funding to the construction of a bridge joining the Island of Gravina to the community of Ketchikan in Alaska, or more commonly referred to in the press as "Alaska's bridge to nowhere."
Although it may seem like a current trend, Members of Congress have earmarked funding for local projects since the 1st United States Congress. In 1790, Congressman George Thatcher of Massachusetts, with the support of President George Washington, worked with Congress to earmark $1,500 for the completion of the Portland Head lighthouse. Since the establishment of the congressional spending power in Article 1 of the United States Constitution, Congress has regularly exercised its prerogative to direct funding toward specific projects deemed important and meritorious by the legislative branch.
In more modern times and up until the 1980's, the annual appropriations bills passed by Congress did not include many Congressional earmarks. Throughout the 1980's and early 1990's the number of earmarked projects slightly began to rise. In 1995 when the Republican Party took control of Congress there was a dramatic increase in the number of congressional earmarks. Furthermore, Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich (R-GA), in a memorandum to House Appropriations Subcommittee Chairmen, directed that earmarks be prioritized to Republican members in politically vulnerable districts.
Between 1994 and 2004, the amount of funding spent on earmarks tripled. Earmark spending rose from $29.11 billion in 1994 to $52.6 billion in 2004. In 1995, there were approximately 1,439 Congressional earmarks. That number peaked to 13,997 in 2005 under a Republican-led Congress.
Since the election of a Democratic-majority 110th Congress, there has been a reduction in the number and funding level of earmarks. For fiscal year (FY) 2007, Congress eliminated essentially all earmarks in order to establish reforms in the process which, as explained below, were implemented.
Most recently, Congress passed and the President signed into law the Consolidated Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2008. According to the Office of Management and Budget, in FY 2008, Members of Congress from across the nation secured approximately $16.8 billion in earmarks, of which approximately $10 billion was spent on an estimated 9,000 non-defense related initiatives.

No title. Men at work in a timber yard.
"Today our Docks are using slick machines which transport, handle and sort timber as fast as the ships can land it - " High angle shot of machinery which moves planks of wood around the yard. "Every piece distributed to its proper place in these Surrey Docks." A piece of wood slides down a conveyor belt contraption. Panning shot of a large warehouse where many machines are at work moving planks of wood around.
We are then shown another "toil-saving" idea - this time for bricks. A lorry is reversed up to a pile of bricks and three men help to guide a box like contraption over the bricks. The lorry then lifts up the box of bricks with a pulley system. The box slides on to the back of the lorry. Shots of this from various angles. Shot of the lorry driving off from the depot.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Addie!
Facts about Addie
- Breed: German Shepherd Dog/Cattle Dog Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Addie's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
This is Addie.
Addie is still timid. She is very sweet and wants to be loved but is hesitant. Someone will have to be gentle and patient with her. She is in a home with several other large dogs and is great with them. She needs a pack.
Addie and her siblings were born on the street in a rough part of town. They are doing great. Momma dog was very caring and made sure her kids were healthy.
Addie is learning basic commands and is looking for a family to be part of. She does need a doggie playmate.
Come check Addie out. She is a great addition for any family.
For more information or to meet me, please complete an Adoption Interest form and please email firstname.lastname@example.com
Other Pets at Valley Dogs
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Addie, a Gilbert German Shepherd Dog/Cattle Dog puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a German Shepherd Dog/Cattle Dog for sale in Gilbert, or seeking a German Shepherd Dog/Cattle Dog puppy from a breeder in Gilbert.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Gilbert already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Gilbert breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even German Shepherd Dog/Cattle Dog breeders who help with German Shepherd Dog/Cattle Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Gilbert paves the way for another one to be saved.

Business-to-business marketing agency Stein IAS is opening a Tokyo office this month and also launching an agency network that will allow it to scale its global presence. Four partner agencies have been accredited: Ark in Benelux, ID in the Nordic countries, Marco in the Czech Republic and wob in Germany.
The Stein IAS Tokyo office will serve the needs of existing clients who are marketing to Japanese buyers, said Tom Stein, CEO of Stein IAS, Americas. It will also engage Japanese companies that are building a presence in European, Latin American and North American markets.
The agency's six core offices and its partner network will function as hub and spoke, offering consistent service across a growing number of markets, Stein said. Partners will carry the Stein IAS approach, tools and technologies to geographies outside of the company's established footprint, which includes offices in London, Manchester, New York, Paris and Shanghai.
The partner network will be functional on launch, Stein said. "These agencies are all B2B specialists. The network is an affiliation of agencies that have committed to using our model and our processes. We are not just beginning this process. We're ready to pull the trigger."
The inaugural partner agencies all are listed as members of the existing Business to Business Network, a global organization of independent agencies formerly known as the Business Branding Network. Stein IAS formed in a 2013 merger of two agencies that were part of the BBN network, and Robert Morrice, CEO of Stein IAS, EMEA, served as a longtime board member and led the organization at the time of the merger. Stein IAS, however, is not part of the current BBN membership roster.
Stein IAS expects agencies in Australia, East Asia, India and South America to join its network in coming months. All partners will be B2B specialists that have been certified to work with both Oracle Marketing Cloud and the Stein IAS agency model, dubbed Mi 3.
"There will need to be a cultural fit, too," Morrice said in a statement. "It's important for clients that no matter which office they walk into, it feels and acts as one. Our company values are the backbone of our model, so we will be recruiting agencies which live and breathe the same principles, whilst maximizing their own potential in their own territories."
The move to build a network comes one year after the merger of New York-based Stein + Partners Brand Activation and U.K.-based IAS b2b Marketing. "It's always been part of the plan," Stein said. "This is the next big step in our evolution and expansion."

bought by others. The first two conditions almost certainly occur most of the time; there is little evidence about the third.
If inflation rates differ among people—occasionally or frequently—an overall national index, however averaged over the population, could misstate the rate of inflation for the poor, the elderly, other demographic groups, or people living in different regions of the country. An important aspect of public dialogue about national policy revolves around the changing economic fortunes of different income, age, and racial groups and different regions of the country. We typically measure these fortunes by adjusting changes in nominal incomes or consumption expenditures by a single national index of inflation, which is fine if group differences in inflation are small but misleading if they are not. Even more importantly, if inflation rates differ significantly among groups, the use of an overall CPI to index social security pensions, other public benefits, and the income tax system may overcompensate some groups in the population and undercompensate others in ways that most people would deem unfair or unjust.
As a first step to address the issue, one would like to know the extent to which, in the past, a single national index would have been a reasonably close measure of inflation rates for different groups, and how often and under what economic conditions inflation rates for one or more groups differed significantly from the overall index. While the past need not repeat itself, this kind of information would certainly be valuable for making a reasoned judgment about whether a single national index is sufficient for the major uses to which it is put or whether it needs to be supplemented with one or more indexes representing the different experiences of particular groups within the population. Unfortunately, the current data collection system underlying the CPI is generated is such a way that it is impossible to produce indexes for subgroups in the population that capture the heterogeneity in the qualities of goods purchased and the prices paid among those subgroups.
Chapter 1 describes how BLS produces the CPI in two stages. At the first stage, known as the lower level, BLS collects data on monthly price changes for individual items—not from individual households, but from a sample of retail outlets throughout the nation. It groups those items into some 218 categories or strata.1 Within each stratum, BLS combines into a single-stratum index the

The Dual-Time clock by Kit Men Keung tells the time in two places at once. This wall clock was made for Verso Lab a Taiwanese-based brand by the Hong Kong and Taipei-based designer. Since the designer is based in two different cities it isn't difficult to see where the idea for the Dual-Time clock came from.
The subtle visual style of the Dual-Time clock clearly depicts time with two stronger hands for one time zone and a lighter, finer third hand that tells the time in another.

Postcard from Bangkok
A floating market sells fruit in Bangkok. (BBC)
Bangkok is a shimmering sprawl of concrete, punctuated here and there with the glitter of jewelled temples; it makes you catch your breath in wonderment. It's also teeming with places to eat, from the restaurants in the ultra-luxury hotels – our room in the world-famous Mandarin Oriental (mandarinoriental.com) has a button by the bed that says, simply, 'butler' – to the millions of street stalls that collect on every corner like bees on honeycomb.
But we're lost. Research delivers torrents of conflicting opinion and concierges want to send us to farang(westerner)-friendly, air-conditioned joints where few Thais ever venture. So we join the rich in beautiful dining rooms, like The Peninsula's Mei Jiang (peninsula.com) where we eat exquisite dim sum - rolled noodles with black beans and chilli, snow pea pastries, roast pork puffs so buttery they're like pig shortcakes - and are treated like pashas.
We sip cocktails on the Mandarin's terrace, watching the long boats buzz down the Chao Phraya river; we try to get staff at swanky (and excellent) Celadon at The Sukhothai (sukhothai.com) not to give us toned-down, foreigner-friendly spicing. This sends them into a tailspin, and results in a kaeng phèt pèt yang, red duck curry, that's almost lipstick scarlet with chilli. It's a carnival in the mouth. The staff hover round us in mild panic; I think they're expecting us to combust.
And we hit the notorious bars in the sky: Vertigo, atop the Banyan Tree (banyantree.com), which has D gibbering with health-and-safety-induced anxiety and requires us to neck two vast martinis each to facilitate the walk down the vertiginous steps clinging to the side of the building. And Lebua's Skybar (lebua.com), which appears to jut right out into the night. We wander round extraordinary shopping malls with their chichi tearooms, designer sushi and foodhalls offering the solution to all your Epoisses and Nutella needs. It's a gas, but not helping us get any sense of reality.
Then salvation arrives in the form of Bangkok-based chef David Thompson, Michelin-starred for his Thai restaurant nahm in London's Halkin hotel (halkin. como.bz). Not only is he happy to meet up, he wants to show us round. This is a bit like winning the lottery. Twice.
David is not averse to the high-end stuff, but he tells us that Thais don't have a restaurant culture as such - it's all about market food - and he's going to help us scratch the surface.
First stop is the roiling insanity of Chinatown - much of Bangkok's street food has Chinese roots. Nai Mong Hoi Thod (539 Thanon Plaeang Nahm) sells nothing but oyster omelettes, crisp from tapioca flour and long-frying on an ancient, seasoned wok in rendered pork fat. Fat glossy oysters sit on top, ready to be seasoned with sriracha (bottled chilli sauce) and lashings of white pepper. A couple of doors down, we stop for implausibly good, toffee-coloured, sugar-cane-smoked duck and a bottle of Mekhong whiskey, the kind of firewater that means you wake the next morning still plastered.
Then to Yaowarat, Chinatown's main drag, for creamy lobes of durian, like a mash-up between foie gras, blue cheese and vanilla custard with maybe a touch of unwashed foot; worryingly, David tells us that eating durian after drinking hard liquor can cause you to explode. Oops.
Sadly, David has to leave us to attend to his lovely new Bangkok restaurant, nahm (metropolitan.bangkok.como.bz). Panic? Not us. We're emboldened now, enough to go down a dirt track, past wooden shacks where people live their whole lives in one tiny room and up rickety wooden stairs to Kaloang Home Kitchen (2 Sriayudhaya Rd, Sisaotaves Dusit 00 662 281 9228), where ants crawl over the dilapidated tables, there's a gentle breeze from the river and a superannuated ladyboy (ladybloke?) entirely ignores me while plying with surprisingly excellent food: smoky, chargrilled seabass and giant prawns with viciously hot nam phrik dip.
Then there's the defiantly ugly My Choice (Sukhumvit Soi 36, 00 662 258 6174); the Thai love for OTT decoration hasn't touched this place. But the banana blossom salad more than makes up for any decorating shortfalls, that and its legendary roast duck. There are forests of alien vegetables: tua phu, meaty winged bean; loofah-like buap liam; sa taw, curious-smelling twisted cluster beans. We don't quite get round to fried fish intestines or pond snail curry.

Ask the Wastewater Expert
Known in the industry as "Wastewater Dan," Daniel L. Theobald, proprietor of Environmental Services, is a professional wastewater and safety consultant/trainer. He has more than 24 years of hands-on industry experience operating many variants of wastewater treatment processing units and is eager to share with others his knowledge about water conservation (www.Conserve-On-Water.com).
The measurement of suspended solids
Someone recently asked, "What are the procedures for measuring sludge concentrations and amounts? How is sludge quality determined?"
Sludge quality can be determined by measuring the solids concentration in various tanks, by solids inventories or by determining the sludge-return and wasting flow rates.
Solids quantities and concentration in the activated-sludge process is measured to achieve balance or a correct ratio for the food amounts -- organic solids or BOD -- entering the treatment system and the bacteria amounts available to treat (eat) it. This "F/M" balance or ratio impacts process performance, with "F" being food entering the process and "M" being the system's bacteria mass. Bacteria must be present sufficient to handle food entering.
Another reason to analyze concentrations is to know sludge thickness and flow rate returned from the final clarifier back to the treatment system.
Concentration measuring methods include the total-suspended solids (TSS) method, which measures solids concentration in activated-sludge samples. Widely accepted, it accurately and precisely measures actual suspended-solids concentrations. Because settling is not a part of the procedure, problems caused by differences in sludge sample settle-ability are eliminated.
The volatile suspended solids (VSS) method is a rough measure of solids concentration in samples of activated sludge derived by measuring volatile solids.
Because bacteria are mostly organic, the VSS test is a better indicator of organic-solids concentrations and therefore, the amount of bacteria in a sample.
Calculate solids quantities
The TSS and VSS solids concentrations are usually expressed in milligrams per liter (mg/L). This concentration data is used to calculate – in pounds of solids or of pounds per day of solids -- amounts in a basin or flowing into or out of "something."
Let's look at how to convert the concentration in mg/L to an amount in pounds (lbs). The formula for this conversion is:
Lbs = Volume (MG) X TSS Concentration (Mg/L) X 8.34
If we determine the concentration of solids in Mg/L of VSS, the calculation would be the same except we substitute the VSS concentration for the TSS concentration. The result would be lbs. of VSS instead of lbs. of TSS. An example of their ratio might be VSS as 75% of TSS.
To determine settled sludge concentration: If we know mixed liquor settle-ability, we can use those results while measuring solids settling and observing settling concentrations.
While performing the settle-ability test, recording settled sludge volumes (SSV) is useful.
Plotting the settle-ability values on a curve shows that as time passes, the sludge volume settling in the settlometer decreases. At the same time, TSS or VSS concentration measures and visual observation of settling sludge show sludge-blanket solids-concentration increases.
Using this information, a formula can calculate the settled sludge concentration (SSC) for a given time (T). These calculations identify the same relationships as the settle-ability curve.
Settling information is important to activated sludge process operators. However, sludge quality may be defined as the relationship between SSV and either TSS or VSS.
A "normal" settling, good-quality activated sludge from a conventional activated-sludge process may reach ultimate compaction -- that is, it stops settling -- somewhere between one and two hours.
Additional useful information
For conventional activated-sludge process, normal sludge ages range from three to six days and for extended aeration activated sludge process, the normal ages from 10 to 30 days.
Rapid-settling sludge reaches its endpoint concentration in less than one hour and is usually an and, over-oxidized sludge. Rapid-settling sludge is undesirable because by settling too fast it releases pin floc and other solids from the sludge blanket. These solids are then discharged in the plant effluent. A slower settling sludge consistently produces a higher quality effluent.
Slow-settling sludge that is old will be dark brown and settles significantly faster if diluted. Diluting is using equal amounts of sample and water. Any foam present will be brown and scummy-greasy looking. Young, slow-settling sludge will be light-brown to tan in color and settle about as fast whether diluted or not. Any foam present will be white and crispy-looking.
For process control, lower the wasting rate to increase sludge age which, in turn, will reduce sludge settling rates. Conversely, increase to wasting rates to decrease sludge age. This, in turn, will increase sludge settling rates.

Former Office of Personnel Management Director John Berry is visiting from Australia where he is the ambassador. As one of the most high-profile gay federal employees, he is helping the National Park Service call attention to a new initiative. The agency is embarking on a study of sites important to the history of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans. National Park Service Director Jonathan Jarvis joined Emily Kopp on the Federal Drive to talk about the new initiative.
Martin Matishak, Staff Writer, The Hill Newspaper
Leaders of both the House and Senate pledge to move quickly on legislation to help the Veterans Affairs Department treat the more than 100,000 vets who are either waiting months for medical appointments or have been unable to see a doctor. At a House hearing late last night, a top VA official apologized for the delays, calling them indefensible. Martin Matishak, staff writer at The Hill, joined Emily Kopp on the Federal Drive to discuss prospects for legislation and VA's future.
Rob Levinson, Senior Defense Analyst, Bloomberg Government
The Veterans Affairs Department now says more than 57,000 veterans have waited at least 90 days for their first medical appointments. An additional 64,000 appear to have never gotten appointments at all. One solution Congress is considering entails giving the VA more money to close the gap. Robert Levinson is a senior defense analyst with Bloomberg Government. He joined Emily Kopp on the Federal Drive to take a closer look at VA spending.

Meyers sets up system to monitor $50B in Hurricane Sandy disaster relief
For her efforts in creating a data analysis system to measure the performance of federal housing programs, the Partnership for Public Service recently named HUD's Sara Meyers as one of the finalists for the 2014 Call to Service Medal.
Julie Kowalsky, Curator, Naval History and Heritage Command
The Naval History and Heritage Command is rolling up its sleeves to rediscover the Navy's hidden treasures. The small staff is in the middle of an effort to catalog, photograph and rehouse its popular weapons collection that dates back to the 17th century. Julie Kowalsky, curator with the Naval History and Heritage Command, spoke with Jason Miller on the Federal Drive about the collection.
Alphonso Maldon, Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission
It's the elephant in the room: military pay and benefits are overwhelming the Defense Department's budget. But Congress doesn't want to cut them, so it appoints an independent commission to do it by next February. Alphonso Maldon is chairman of the commission. He told Tom Temin and Emily Kopp on the Federal Drive, the nine members have reviewed everything from recruitment to retirement, paychecks and housing allowance to health care.
Sara Meyers, Housing and Urban Development Department
The Service to America Medals honor federal employees who go above and beyond their job descriptions to serve the public. Federal News Radio will be speaking to the finalists. The Housing and Urban Development Department launched a data-analysis program in 2010 to monitor federal housing programs. Two years later, Hurricane Sandy put the system to the test. Sara Meyers co-developed the program called HUDStat. She now runs the Sandy Program Management Office, which applies data analysis to the $50 billion Sandy recovery effort. She joined Jason Miller on the Federal Drive to discuss HUDStat and the progress it has made. Read a Q&A with Sara Meyers.

David Barno, Center for a New American Security
President Obama says most troops will be out of Afghanistan by the end of 2016. Some of the billions of dollars worth of equipment over there will come back to be refurbished. Some will have to be sold or destroyed. All those people combined with all of the gear is a major logistics effort. How can the military pull it off? Army Lt. Gen. Dave Barno (Ret.) is a senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security. He joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive to discuss the challenges the Defense Department will face as it withdraws from Afghanistan.
Jason Miller, Executive Editor, Federal News Radio
The Data Aggregation Working Group, or DAWG, will deliver both plans and tools later this year to change the way agencies review and share terrorism information. DAWG members hope the reference architecture, as the plan is called, will give law enforcement and intelligence community agencies a new path toward understanding the full threat picture. Dirk Rankin is the chief technology officer for the National Counterterrorism Center and the co-chairman of the Data Aggregation Working Group. Paul Reynolds is the other co-chairman. In part two of their interview, they tell executive editor Jason Miller about the DAWG's role in creating a secure information sharing environment. Read Jason's related article.
Todd Dickinson, American Intellectual Property Law Association
The Patent and Trademark Office has been going without a confirmed director for a year and a half. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah.) has urged President Obama to nominate somebody already. He thinks the vacancy "hampers the agency's ability to influence policy and make long term-plans." Todd Dickinson is a former PTO director, now executive director of the American Intellectual Property Law Association. He joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive to discuss what's going on at the agency.

He explained the app's purpose when he joined Tom Temin and Emily Kopp on the Federal Drive.
John Mahoney, Federal Employment Attorney
The House has approved a bill to give the Veterans Affairs secretary the right to fire senior executives almost at will. It's understandable members of Congress are outraged over long waiting times and falsification of records at VA hospitals, compounded by the fact that VA managers have received millions of dollars in bonuses. But it's not clear whether the proposal is legal. In our weekly legal loop segment, federal employment attorney John Mahoney spoke with Tom Temin and Emily Kopp on the Federal Drive. He explained exactly what the House approved and who the bill affects.

Kadner: Is Tea Party for or against takeover of water system?
Phil Kadner firstname.lastname@example.com | (708) 633-6787 August 20, 2012 10:10PM
Updated: September 22, 2012 6:21AM
In a hotbed of the Tea Party movement, residents are being asked to choose their government over a private company.
At issue is the municipality's water system, which is operated by Illinois American Water and its sister agency, American Lake Water.
The village of Homer Glen has joined forces with four other suburbs (Bolingbrook, Woodridge, Romeoville and Lemont) to form the Northern Will County Water Agency in an effort to buy a water transmission line owned by American Lake Water that runs from Bedford Park to the five municipalities.
For years, water customers in those five suburbs have complained that their water rates are among the highest, if not the highest, in Illinois.
Illinois American Water contends that as a private company its prices are unfairly compared with government-operated water agencies, which are able to hide additional charges inside tax bills (the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District, for example) instead of having them appear on water bills.
Homer Glen Mayor Jim Daley contends American Water is a for-profit company that has a monopoly in his village and has gouged its customers to generate money for its shareholders.
He has also accused American Water officials of using underhanded tactics to rile up support for its position in Homer Glen.
I haven't heard much from the Tea Party folks in Homer Glen, who generally oppose government interference in the marketplace, contending that governments are wasteful, incompetent and interfere unnecessarily in private enterprise.
Illinois American Water officials predict the efforts of the five suburbs to take over the water system will become a financial boondoggle.
That boondoggle would be caused in part by a long and costly court battle that Illinois American will fight to prevent the five municipalities from using their powers of eminent domain to force the sale of the water pipeline, which the water company does not want to sell.
I've been covering water controversies in Homer Glen since long before it incorporated in 2001.
I know some residents don't care what it would cost to buy the water system; they simply want Illinois American Water out of their lives.
In recent weeks, a new group of Homer Glen residents, primarily those on well and septic systems, have come out against buying the water transmission line.
They wouldn't benefit, they contend, since they don't receive Lake Michigan water, and they fear someday they would be forced to tie into the system at great personal expense.
Village officials are getting ready to vote later this month on a $50 million bond issue ($25 million to be sold immediately, $25 million at some later date) that would be used in part to buy Homer Glen's share of the transmission line from Bedford Park (at a cost of about $9 million).
The village would use a 1 percent home-rule sales tax estimated to generate $2.8 million in 2013 to finance the bond issue.
Further complicating the issue for Homer Glen is that unlike most of its neighboring suburbs, it does not own its own water distribution or sanitation network.
Illinois American Water owns the distribution network that brings water to homes and businesses in the community, while American Lake Water operates the transmission line.
Daley has indicated to village residents that if the cost of buying the transmission line gets out of hand at any point, Homer Glen can simply opt out of the Northern Will County Water Agency's bid to buy the system.
After contacting the law firm representing the village, I think Daley may have oversimplified that process.
The water agency already has made a bid for the water transmission line, and to withdraw from the process now or at some future date it's likely that Homer Glen would have to get the approval of at least two other villages that are members of the agency.
That would make sense since the water agency is dependent on all of its municipal members agreeing that it will be acting on their behalf during negotiations and future court proceedings.
In addition, American Water officials contend Homer Glen has committed to buying water from the Northern Will County Water Agency for 40 years at whatever rates that agency sets.
I would be interested to know if Tea Party advocates who use American Water in Homer Glen are opposed to, or in favor of, the village's efforts to buy out the private utility company.
If opposed, how do they explain so many of their neighbors demanding that government intervene on their behalf?
Government is often portrayed as the enemy of the people, but often the people turn to the government as their only hope to combat powerful business interests.

They gave us ice hockey, a plausible example of national health insurance that we're too stupid to follow, extremely strange football, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Rush, and four-fifths of The Band. So why should we care if they're spending some time this year celebrating the kicking of Yankee ass 200 years ago? After all, see above scoreboard, beeyotches!
Anyway, let's argue in the comments: Who's your favorite Canadian? My top three...

Stelios reaches agreement with easyJet
EasyJet will pay out millions of pounds a year to its founder Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, as the pair finally propose an agreement to settle the long-running dispute over the "easy" brand name.
Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou: reaches an agreement with the company he founded
In an announcement to the City today (11 October), easyJet said the proposed resolution will be voted on by independent shareholders before finally approved.
As part of the proposals, Stelios will receive millions of pounds a year from the budget airline in return for the company's use of the "easy" brand name for travel extras like hotel bookings and insurance.
The company said one of the seven proposals is for the "payment of an annual royalty of eGIP of 0.25% of easyJet's total revenue, fixed at £3.9m and £4.95m in the first and second years respectively".
The agreement brings an end to the increasingly hostile three-year dispute that went to the High Court in June this year. The High Court ruling is not expected until later this month but easyJet believes an out of court settlement will help all parties.
The company said the expected High Court judgement "would not resolve all the parties' differences".
It said: "The board therefore concluded that the combination of the ambiguity of the existing licence and the restrictions it placed on the company made it no longer suitable for the scale and breadth of the company's operations, especially given that the continuing dispute was causing material management distraction.
"The board decided therefore that it would be in the interest of all shareholders to seek a commercial settlement with eGIP and Sir Stelios, including a relation to the current board appointment rights."
Carolyn McCall, easyJet's new chief executive who joined in July, is understood to be keen to resolve the dispute with the brand's founder.

I have very thick and curly hair. This product allows me to blow it out straight and keep it healthy. The many products I tried in the past left it looking heavy and dry/damaged when I blew it out. Now it can be straight, shiny, and healthy.
I have curly hair and use this to blow dry my hair straight. Great product - on e of the best I have tried.
Best Uses
I wrote a review on the shampoo so I will re word this a bit, but basically I have dry, damaged hair that requires allocating some of my grocery funds to hair products. I detest paying so much for hair products but this brand makes my hair so much shinier and more manageable that I justify it. It smells great, a little goes a long way, and it really improves the texture of your hair. I normally have to fry my hair to get it to look socially acceptable and of course it ends up more damaged, but pureology hydrate really does seem to make my hair fall more normally after a blow dry only. If you have tried everything and still aren't happy with your hair, find a way to add it into your budget, it will last over a year. (And for reference I have long hair and use a little larger than a quarters worth. More like a dollar coin)
Best Uses
It left my hair greasy after a day. I previously used Pureology Nanoglaze, but can no longer find it at Ulta.
Apply to wet hair before blow dry. I have bleached hair and it helps to achieve a smooth finish.
Leaves hair feeling softer and managable
Love the smells,works great
Best Uses
This products smells great and leaves your hair feeling smooth with great shine while not being overpowering.
Best Uses
i think this bottle is going to last me two years because i don't need much. i use this with pureology's smoothing shampoo and conditioner and this combination seems to work well for taming the frizz. my hair is fine and did not feel weighed down. i actually got compliments on my hair... that never happens!
Best Uses
Really loved this product. The cost is a bit high for my liking. I don't really like to spend more than $15 on a decent hair product. I like to use this with the Kenra Blow Dry Spray and a little bit of hair serum, and it makes my hair soft, shiny, and smooth. So nice once in a while, when I get tired of my naturally curly hair.

Does this product protect from heat and should it be combined with any other product when blow drying hair straight1 answer
This product doesn't specifically protect hair against heat damage. Pureology Colour Fanatic (Item #: 2264503) is a great product to layer under this and other styling products. It provides heat protection up to 450 degrees and helps boost the effect of the styling product(s) used after it is applied:
