Pumps- Single Stage vs Two Stage
What is the most common pump in operation today?
Single or two stage. What benefits does a two stage give over a single stage? We are on our 3rd.
two stage pump. Currently a Hale that performs very well with a 400hp. N-14 Cummins in front of it. We had 2 Waterous before that. Just wondering what other locations around the Country use.
Out in good time, do good service, first water...

Some of our older trucks have 2-stage pumps, but most of the newer trucks I've seen anywhere, ours included, have single stage pumps. I am told (makes sense to me) that the newer pumps generally operate from 1500-2000 gpm's anyways, without the second stage, so they're simply not needed much anymore. A good single stage pump will deliver both pressure and volume without needing a mechanism that changes the entire routing of water through the pump. It's also less to have to think about, but then again if a 2 stage pump is too complicated for someone, they've got other more serious issues to deal with...
These are my opinions and not those of the organizations for which I work and/or volunteer.
We have not used 2 stage pumps in our dept. since the late 50's. The major advantage to 2 stage pumps is when having to pump up multiple stories in hi-rises, you have the volume and the pressure in that situation, the disadvantage is that 2 stage pump required a lot of upkeep maintenance. With the way single stage technology has developed in the last number of years 2 stage pumping has become a thing of a specialty rather than the norm.

I would guess the single stage pump is the most popular. Today's diesel engines are powerful and have no problem turning a single impellar centrifugal pump.
I think the advent of the two stage class A pump came about as a way to increase pressure on apparatus with under-powered gasoline engines more than a half century ago. Remember, at that time, "high pressure fog" and Lloyd Laymen's theory of interior firefighting was being used. Manufacturer's actually developed multi-stage centrifugal pumps to compete with FMC's John Bean Royal piston pump that produced over 800 psi @ 70 GPM.
Two-stage pumps in series operation restrict out-put volume to 1/2 to 2/3 of its rated capacity. A common problem with these pumps was the transfer valve sticking in either the parallel or series mode. A big problem if you arrived at a major blaze and couldn't pump volume because of this.
A single stage pump is less complicated than a multi-stage. In the heat of battle, things always run better when you keep it simple.
We chose a single stage on our last pumper becouse we try to employ the KISS theory around here.
K-keep
I-it
S-simple
S-stupid
Less the engineer has to worry about and besides, as stated by another brother the two-stage pumps tend to stick from time to time. Firefighter/NREMT-P/Public Safety Diver

We only have a couple of 2 stage pumps left a Hale and a Darley. Both have given excellent service but the upkeep on the transfer valve is constant. We have found with the newer engines and pumps we do not need the 2 stage capability. Our newer trucks have Hale 1250 single stage and do the job really well without the extra work on the pumps. In our particular situation we will specify single stage on our future trucks. Some of our neighboring departments still use 2 stage on their aerials because they feel they can achieve the pressure they need much more easily. As in other things in firefighting it depends on particular needs and preferences.

I think most newer pumps are single stage ours are. The old ones are 2 stage. A single stage will heat up quicker than a 2 stage. Keep your water tank as full as possible when recirculating for a period of time. I am thinking the temperature of the water will raise about 3 degrees F. for 100 gallons of water in about 5 minutes for a single stage pump. Recirculating for longer periods of time the operator needs to be careful of the pump temperature.

I was at walmart today and bought some 6 containers cheap ($3 each). They are plastic 64 quarts. They are probably 2 ft h. X 2ft w and 1 ft deep.
My question is how much soil to put in them. How deep up the 1 ft sides? What mixture would you use. One other question. can I put 2 plants per container? I'm getting ready for next yr. Thanks in advance Bruce |
Follow-Up Postings:
64 quarts = 16 gallons. Typically, people recommend planting a single tomato plant in no less than a 5-gallon container (although some have had success with 4-gallon). So I would recommend three plants assuming you can maintain enough space between them. I would fill the container up to 1-2" below the top of the container. The deeper the soil, the deeper the roots, the bigger and stronger the plants will grow. As for potting mix, there are many opinions. The search function is your friend. Somewhere here (I think) someone did a comparison of a few different mixes but now I can't find it. Hopefully someone else will post the link so I can bookmark it! |

As an example, last year I grew a Stupice plant in a 5 gallon pail. The plant was tiny and only had a few tomatoes on it. I was never going to plant Stupice again. But for the heck of it I planted two Stupice in the ground this year. The plants are huge and keep kicking out lots of tomatoes that are 50% bigger than the ones on the container plant. As far as I am concerned, if you have room to plant tomatoes in the ground don't use containers. |
I think I would stay with only two plants. I have used 5/4 gal buckets and they are a bit small for large tomato plants. Maybr three small ones. For mix, do your research for the best, but if you have to, regular potting MIX will work, though expensive. Better is potting MIX with about 10 percent perlite..which is what I use. |
That shallow? - only 1 plant unless you want to go with dwarf types. And you will still have to monitor the soil moisture levels carefully. 15 gallons could be ideal for 1 plant IF it was deep enough. That shallow will dry out quickly. 1 plant may be able to cope well with careful monitoring, 2 plants would be heavily stressed with all the resulting problems. Dave |
I'm sorry, but I think that there is plenty of evidence around here to support the usability of 5-gallon containers to grow tomato plants. Yes, it is true that you might want to limit it to the smaller varieties (salad-size and smaller). californian, there are any number of reasons why your plant didn't do well in the container. With a sample size of three, I don't think we can really draw any concrete conclusions given the many factors involved (soil/mix, watering patterns, sunlight, the weather in the two different years, the quality of the seedlings, just to name a few). There are also plenty of reasons to plant in containers instead of the ground (take a look at the containers forum) - both have their ups and downs. |
Typically, people recommend planting a single tomato plant in no less than a 5-gallon container (although some have had success with 4-gallon). Respectfully disagree. If you read through the many discussions about container tomato growing both here and on the Container Gardening forum you'll find very few who recommend 5 gallon containers for tomato plants except for very small plants. 5 gallons is considered, even by those who do it, as the MINIMUM acceptable size and most would concur that larger, if at all possible, is better. And once one has compared the growth and production of the same plant in a 5 gallon container vs. in a larger container or better yet in the ground, they quickly see that there just isn't any comparison. This is not to say that growing in containers doesn't have some advantages. It can. But it also has several disadvantages. The easiest way to overcome those disadvantages is to use larger containers OR restrict the plants to very small varieties. In this particular case the real issue in my opinion is the 1 foot depth, as I said above. Water and nutrient retention, not to mention root development, is much better in a deeper container. Even with a 5 gallon container, there would be a great deal of difference in the plants grown in a 5 gallon deep bucket and a 5 gallon shallow container that is only 1 foot deep. Dave |
I'm growing a cherry variety and a larger variety (Tasty Merlot is what the label at the nursery said) in 2, ~5 gallon containers this year. Both plants are about 4' 6", the cherry has well over 50 tomatoes on it, the Tasty Merlot has around 10, 2 of which are pretty nice sized. 5 gal isn't a problem for me. I am experiencing some BER, but I have just as much BER on my in-ground plants. I had zero BER last year and have done nothing different that I can think of. Quite frustrating. |
Sorry, I thought the container was 2' deep, not 1' (should have re-read OP). I agree that the same plant, with all things being equal, will grow bigger in a better in a bigger container than a smaller one. But 5-gallon buckets can still grow some nice plants. With a 10" soil depth, you're right - he's probably limited to the smallest determinate varieties. |
I have heard many arguments claiming that in-ground is far more productive than container growing, and I understand the reasoning behind that argument.....But... Have you seen Raybo's Earthtainer farm pix?! I am continually astounded year after year by his container success. I've never done SWC's, but one of these years I'm going to have to build some just to see if I get the same container results. I've grown in 65 gallon containers that are not swc's (as I'm doing this year for 6 of my 16 plants) and the plants seem to get to a certain level of growth and then they start to struggle. Maybe it's just that in-ground growing is more forgiving, as the root system has greater capacity to grow and absorb nutrients. Containers obviously require a lot more attention. But I sure am impressed by Ray's Earthtainer successes. Don |
I'm confused. "They are probably 2 ft h. X 2ft w and 1 ft deep." Do you mean 2'high, 2'long, and 1' across? |
I have heard many arguments claiming that in-ground is far more productive than container growing, I don't think it is purely a question of in-ground vs. containers. At least not for me as I do both. It is a question of in-ground vs. the right size of containers. Use big enough containers with the right kind of soil-less potting mix and you can easily match in-ground production. But a 5 gallon bucket isn't going to do it. But where the issue comes up is folks wanting to use small containers. Raybo's containers aren't 5 gallon buckets!! They aren't even 18 gallon. They are 31 gallon. :) They are the proof of the claim that bigger is better when it comes to containers. Using SWC containers also makes a big difference. I'm growing a cherry variety and a larger variety (Tasty Merlot is what the label at the nursery said) in 2, ~5 gallon containers this year. Both plants are about 4' 6", the cherry has well over 50 tomatoes on it, the Tasty Merlot has around 10, 2 of which are pretty nice sized. 5 gal isn't a problem for me. No one is saying it can't be done. Obviously it can. The question is should it be done? As long as the quality and quantity you get is acceptable to you, fine. But you also need to understand that your plants could easily be 3x as big with 3x the production if you used larger containers. Dave |
Since you have the time, I would encourage you to read the longest running thread on growing in containers on the container forum, which I will link below. The most important factor is your container mix, assuming you have excellent drainage. Al's 511 mix is an excellent choice. I have been growing tomatoes in containers for almost 20 years with good results. All the tomatoes I've grown were full size indeterminant plants in 20 or 25 gallon containers, and they usually grew at least 6 to 8 feet tall, often taller. For many years, I couldn't bring myself to limit the number of plants, so I usually grew three plants in a 25 gallon container, that was about 16 inches deep and 22 inches in diameter. This year I have five 25 gallon containers that size with two plants each and one 20 gallon container with only one plant. Already it is clear to me that the single tomato plant in the 20 gallon container is bigger and healthier, and producing more tomatoes than the containers with two plants each. I may get a few more tomatoes from the double planted pots, but I also am having to water them more. I am convinced that you can get excellent results from a large enough container if you are diligent about giving them enough sun, food and room. Lots of folks on the container forum grow tomatoes. They are friendly and helpful. In spite of all my years doing this, I believe I've learned more from them than I learned in all the previous years. |

thank you for your help. Yes these tubs are 2' wide x 2 ' wide and 13 inches deep. maybe i'll have to get something deeper.. i just ran into a good deal on them. |

AD55 - I would think those shallow containers would be great for lettuces, incl cut and come again, radishes, maybe basil, short carrots. But toms are sooooo thirsty they usually do require something much deeper. Linda |
I think your containers would be adequate for a determinate tom(patio type), better for a zucchini and excellent for hot peppers...but that's just me... |

Well since I first posted this I've done alot of research. I've changed my plan and I'm going to get smart pots. I ordered 10-15 gal. pots yesterday and 4-10 gal. pots. I've been talking to many people who grow big indetermiinates in the 10 gal size. I'm opting for 15 for those. From what i'm gathering I can grow tomatos in these pot with a heavier soil mixture than conventional containers. I've talked to raybo and he thinks i can modify his 3-2-1 mixture to 4-2-1 and do fine. Thats my plan for half of them anyway. I'll expriment with another mixture tast was suggested to me to see how it works. I started of wanting 6 plants and up to 16... owell I'm retired so I've got time |
Augiedog: Sounds like a good plan. In my post from last summer I talked about growing two tomatoes in a 25-gallon smart pot vs. one of the same kind (goosecreek) in a 20-gallon smart pot. At that point, I thought the single plant was doing better. But by the end of the summer, the plant that produced the most tomatoes over the whole season was one of the two in the 25-gallon pot. The other one in that pot was a bit of a dud, but still the pot with two tomatoes produced significantly more tomatoes. Since I only have space and a budget for about six large pots, I plan to grow two plants in each one. I think that genetic variation in heirloom tomatoes caused the wide difference in productivity, not pot size. I also wanted to mention that the soil mix I used was 5 parts pine bark fines, one part compost and one part Turface. We had temperatures in the nineties for about half the time in July and August. I was able to go three days between waterings. The Turface and compost seemed to help with water retention. Please report on the results of your experiments. |
Bigger is better, if you can. I grow some plants in 5 gallon Smart Pots. |
I have had great luck growing in 5 gallon buckets. I think smaller then that you will be spending your life watering. I got free buckets from White Castle years ago, They were there empty pickle buckets |

compounds, What growing media are you using in you smart pots? |
Hi, just to be clear, I am thinking of getting some smart pots for tomatoes - would 20 gallon pots be adequate for one plant? Or do I need bigger? Thanks Sharon |
I think 20 gallons would be good for most tomatoes. In spite of what I said I would do above, last summer I grew one tomato each in 25 gallon Smart Pots and had excellent results with most of them. I grew one goose creek in a 20 gallon smart pot, and it was very productive. I used Al's 5-1-1 mix with osmocote plus 15-9-12 incorporated and also used a soluble fertilizer during the season. I think you need to fertilize pretty generously in containers. |

SAN JOSE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/05/12 -- Brocade (NASDAQ: BRCD) today announced that it will acquire privately held Vyatta in an all-cash transaction. Vyatta is based in Belmont, Calif. and is a networking industry innovator through its software-based network operating system that is highly relevant for multiple applications in network virtualization, software-defined networking (SDN) and private/public cloud computing platforms.
Brocade expects to close the acquisition by the end of the calendar year.
"This acquisition complements our R&D investments in Ethernet fabrics and SDN, as well as our broad industry and solutions-level partnerships that enable Brocade to pursue new market opportunities in data center virtualization, public cloud, enterprise virtual private cloud, and managed services," said Mike Klayko, CEO of Brocade. "We are now bolstering these 'build and partner' efforts with this strategic acquisition with the goal of being the innovation and thought leader in the software networking category."
Vyatta is shipping products today and is developing a next-generation, on-demand network OS that delivers advanced routing, security and VPN functionality for physical, virtual and cloud networking environments. Vyatta pioneered and created the industry's first and only platform-independent network operating system, the Vyatta Network OS. This OS enables system architects to secure and connect virtual, cloud or physical infrastructures while delivering the same elasticity, mobility, auto-provisioning and utility licensing benefits of the applications they support.
Brocade plans to utilize Vyatta technology and expertise with the goal of offering its customers an end-to-end architecture built on a highly virtualized, dynamic network infrastructure. This virtualized data center infrastructure promises to make both service providers and enterprises more agile through accelerated deployment and reduced development cycles in their networks. It also enables Brocade to extend its open data center fabric and IP networking technologies directly into any number of server hypervisor environments that gives customers the utmost choice and flexibility in selecting the right solution for their business needs.
"There are many significant developments happening today that are redefining data center architectures and industry landscapes," said Ken Cheng, vice president of the Routing, Application Delivery and Software Networking Group at Brocade. "The Vyatta acquisition brings in considerably more software networking technology and expertise to Brocade. We believe software networking to be a critical component in the next phase of network virtualization as enterprises are becoming increasingly virtualized and actively moving workloads to the cloud."
Following the close of the acquisition, Vyatta will be merged into Software Networking Business unit reporting into Ken Cheng.
"Brocade and Vyatta share the philosophy that open solutions and dynamic, agile networks are the best paths for customers to evolve their data center architectures to meet their business goals," said Kelly Herrell, CEO of Vyatta. "I am excited about Vyatta joining forces with Brocade as we now have the opportunity to more fully deliver on our value proposition with a broader set of customers as a trusted data center and networking solutions provider."

By Pat Romanski How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends:
Exposing the device to a management framework
Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic
Exposing that business layer and data to end users.

Yes, but turns completely green. |
Some of mine did that. Let it grow a bit and post another picture. Or, if you don't want a plant in that spot, dispatch it now. |
Orach is an annual. Judging by the thickness of the stems these sprouts look like a perennial emerging in the spring. Is there a big fat root under there? Maybe Mirabilis jalapa aka Four O'Clocks. They also seed around which would account for the presence of seedlings alongside. |

I am thinking of ordering seeds of this, has anyone grown it? I read it blooms May, June, July, August and its evergreen. Is that true? Is one plant good for display or would you need several in a group to make an impact? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Lol, well as I told you...it's a powerhouse and yes...it's the first thing blooming in spring (except maybe bulbs) and last in fall. One plant (in 2nd year) will make a statement (it'll be likely 2-3 foot across and as wide). Just for grins I'll attach one of my favorite photos (which are of the flowers...not the habit of growth)...including this and coreopsis tinctoria. I called it a duo of daisies...lovely (in my mind at least) |

That does it. Its on my list from Plants of the SW. My list is pretty short really, I'm ordering that Sand Sage to start a new plant to replace a cactus corpse that got froze to death and I want Penstemon virgatus (Wandbloom). I like the thin leaves on it and think it will look good coming up around and among blue grama grass. Did you place an order yet? Seems like you said you did. Was your Englemann's plant upright or sprawling? I found Berlandiera lyrata (Chocolate Flower) seeds locally here in OKC. I also bought Sundial Lupine (Texas) and a mixed package of Water-Wise Mix by Botanical Interests that has only three or four in it I don't want, the rest are good. I'll just weed out the ones I don't want. I love those Coreopsis tinctoria and agree those two look good together. I got some seeds from the roadside but only had a couple come up last summer, there should be more this year, I just let them go to seed and scattered them here and there. |

Maybe it will at least for the next 10 days. That arctic business is down here right now. We are supposed to be minus something or other --4 or 5 on Saturday night. Maybe the end of Feb would be better. I plan to send you a couple things because they'd be happier down there further south. This winter separated the men from the boys. Expect a still small, partially damaged sharkskin agave. I can't stand to see it suffer. Could you use some Santa Rita pads? The whole cactus is nearly gone but the low pads are still OK. Its that really round colorful one. Its too cold for it here. |

DURANGO, CO - For 175 seniors at Fort Lewis College, Winter Commencement will mark a triumphant end to their undergraduate academic careers. Fort Lewis College's Winter Commencement takes place on Saturday, December 15, 2012, in Whalen Gym. The ceremony begins at 10 a.m.
Normally when people think "history," "excitement" doesn't also come to mind. But for Evan West, it does. West, a sophomore History and Theatre dual-major from Fort Collins, is one of the first students to explore the History Department's new Public History option, which, he says, "is all about bringing history to life." West spent his summer doing a Public History internship in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
One of the best tests of a great teacher is to ask what they find most rewarding about their jobs. The answers may vary, but they will invariably shift the focus from the teacher to the student. The best educators revel in the successes of their students, as is the case with Assistant Professor of History Dr. Jennifer Stollman.

AAA Discount and "4-nights & get 3-nights FREE"... Is it possible?
I tried to book and mentioned my AAA discount when booking the 4-nights + get 3 nights free and was told that Disney doesn't honor the AAA discounts when booking a package like 3 free nights.
So I booked the vacation anyway (direct through Disney) to hold the rooms but wanted to know if anyone else knew AAA discount codes to put on top of this or "guide" the Disney employee booking the vacation on the other side to the right screens.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

I work in 9 different schools running Girl Scout troops in the after school programs. One of the badges we will be working on in a few months is gardening/flowers. This is really hard to do since the roster of kids in the after school programs change constantly, limited resources and supplies, only an hour to run each age group, and I have to bring those supplies into and out of the school with me. My first idea was to have the children plant a small patch of flowers at the school, but it won't work at all schools since several of them barely have any grass, let alone an area to garden. I then thought back to my first grade class, remembering putting Lima beans in a ziploc bag with a wet paper towel and watching them grow. I thought this would be a better idea since it won't cost as much money, each girl can have their own plant, and they can take it home with them. The problem I am running into is the scheduling of the beans. Due to the number of schools I go to I see each school biweekly. My idea of how to do this was the meeting before the gardening badge go ahead and have the girls out their bean in their Baggie and place it in the school window. When I return in two weeks it should of of taken root and the actual gardening badge day we go ahead and plant it in a paper cup and send it home with the kids, with instructions of course. My question is which type of bean would be best for this that I can also get at the grocery store? I will be working with 100+ kids across the schools so I need the bean to be cheap and in large quantities. Since it needs to sit in a window for 2 weeks it does not need to be fast growing; don't want the kids to come back in 2 weeks and their plant outgrew the Baggie and died. I'm not really worried about zones or anything, I am sure that each of these kids will take the plant home to only die, but they need the experience more so than the plant. Any feedback will be great, thank you in advance. Also if anyone else has any better ideas than this please let me know! |

Buy a bag of mixed beans...Then there is more varieties to talk about...Also to watch as some do out grow their baggies and as some simply do not grow..Also some with dark paper, some with a bit of soil, etc. make the experiment more educational that way. I do this every spring and the kids love it but not to exciting with out some variances |
Thanks for the reply. The problem is that I cannot be there to watch the beans, I rotate between 9 different schools and I cannot trust the children to watch their own bags to see if it would outgrow the bag or not (Most of the time we meet in the teachers lounge and the children dont have access there without it being a Girl Scout meeting time) What I am looking for is a common type of bean that takes usually about a week and a half to germinate, that way the sprout wont die before I get back in two weeks. |

February 12, 2014 Overthinking ItWhere the Remaining Free Agents Would Matter the MostIt was new and exciting in November, mundane in December, and comforting and familiar in January. But by mid-February, speculating about likely landing spots for attractive free agents is as tired as publicly celebrating the Beatles.* Granted, the alternative would be talking about the sort of stuff that otherwise occupies us early in spring training: what players look like; what players look like from afar; what players might look like from afar, if we could see them; what players look like upside-down; meaningless quotes about team chemistry. There's only so much we can do to combat the boring until real baseball begins. Still, we've reached the part of the baseball calendar at which we're not accustomed to seeing impact players unsigned. On the morning of February 12, 2013, we were down to two fairly high-profile free agents, Michael Bourn and Kyle Lohse. News of Bourn's signing broke later that day, leaving only Lohse, who lingered into late March. This year, six top-20 free agents from R.J. Anderson's Top 50 remain on the market. That increase probably has no larger significance; it's a combination of the Pax Tanaka that preceded the Japanese starter's signing, the volatile performance history of the other available arms, and the positional limitations of Nelson Cruz and Kendrys Morales. Nonetheless, the hot stove has outstayed its welcome, so it's time for someone to step in, slap some wrists, and tell teams and free agents to make up their minds and stop fretting about inconsequential things like many millions of dollars, or where they'd "prefer" to play. Today, I'm playing the part of that person, which means that I'm forgetting about budgets, draft picks, and whether teams have expressed interest in so-and-so or said they're almsot certainly finished spending. If you want to know where the latest rumor says these players will sign, look elsewhere. This is about where they would sign if they had to go to the team where A) they'd be the biggest upgrade, and B) their presence might make the difference between a playoff team and a team that's not playing. We'll take it from the top: Ervin Santana (no. 5 on the top 50 FA list): Washington Nationals 15 comments have been left for this article.

has any one here looked into opening a craft beer store? Im wondering what the legal issues are involved and the cost of a liquor license any comments are appreciated.
Selling or brewing? 2 different beasts...
try checking your states web site.
selling, I would like to brew but Im thinking it would be cheaper to start out with a little shop selling craft beer. - I have looked at the state site but there is so much info there I couldnt find much pertaining to what I am looking for. I guess I should keep digging. I just thought some one here may have looked into this.
I have no info as far as legalities and what not, but don't forget that a store selling craft beer should also sell brewing supplies. One thing I have heard others mention about the state of Michigan (Besides being in a Misserable one) it is far easier to buy a place that already has a liquor licence then it is to get one.
1st Primary:Cacade/Orange Pale 2nd Primary:Wild Hop Pale secondary: Inspired Clone Kegged: Edwort's House Pale, Honey Porter, BierMuncher's Black Pearl Porter
There's not way you'd survive on selling craft beer alone. You might be a regular liquor store that specializes in carrying as much craft beer as you can get your hands on but you're going to rely on the the BMC crowd for the bread and butter.
I live in the heart of ny wine country with a large wine and culinary center right down the street, there would be educated palates at least. - In ny you cant sell liquor and beer in the same store. - I would definitely sell brewing supplies, cigars, etc.
This is actually a fairly brilliant idea. I live in NYC and there's absolutely NOWHERE, not a single place I've found local that I can pick up brew supplies. Opening up a small Brewshop in Park Slope (the heart of craft country) would be a fantastic idea.
I have this same ambition. I want to specialize in imports and section it off by countries. I know a license to sell only beer is a lot cheaper than to serve and the selling of hard liquor. Also you need to check because certain areas are only allowed to have a certain amount of liquor licenses. Than you can try to buy them off of other businesses that have gone out of business, and they will charge a lot, my buddy john bought his for 15,000 but it was to serve.

Partway through a trip to Vietnam last month, Keith Edgerton saw something near the city of Hanoi that captured the modern state of the Southeast Asian nation better than any notes or stories or tours ever could.
"There's this large neon sign, bright neon lights, for I think it was Samsung," he said. "But by the light of it, down on the ground there was this woman, down there planting rice.
"They still plant rice there the same old way they have for centuries, for millennia. That's one of the beguiling and enchanting things about Vietnam."
It's an image, he said, that perfectly sums up a nation defined today in part by a contradiction, with one foot planted firmly in its rich, ancient past while it charges forward into a modern, Westernized future.
From Feb. 27 to March 9, Edgerton, who chairs Montana State University Billings' history department, and a small group of others from the Billings area toured the California-sized nation in an effort to better understand its culture, history and place in the modern world.
The trip was originally planned to bring a group of MSUB history students, veterans of the Vietnam War and people from the community together for the trip.
However, for various reasons — such as the cost for some and worries over past experiences there during the war for others — just one student, senior history major Alicia Pavey; and one veteran, MSUB Chancellor Rolf Groseth, made the trip, along with 10 other people from Billings and Wyoming.
"I've never been to that part of the world before and I wanted to explore it," Pavey said. "And I've known veterans and heard them talk about it, so it was important to me to learn more about it. It was a learning opportunity."
Over the course of nine days, the group traveled about 2,000 miles from the country's north end to its south, from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City to Da Nang to the Mekong Delta, and many points in between.
"It's a place that's so profoundly important to our history," Edgerton said. "As a historian, if you can go to the places where this stuff happened, there's no other experiences that can replicate that. But we didn't want to
just go to battlefield after battlefield. (We) wanted to see some of that, but also explore the historical and cultural sights."
'More like Miami Beach'
Groseth served in the U.S. Army from 1970 to 1971 during the Vietnam War, spending most of his time in Da Nang. Before the trip, he wasn't sure he'd ever return to Vietnam.
"It was with some trepidation that I decided to go," he said. "But I eventually came to think that it was time for me to go back. It was a pretty positive experience for me," Groseth said of the trip.
While the focus of the trip wasn't solely on sites and history related to the war, much of what the group saw and did included the war in some way.
Among tours of old battlefields and war museums — most of which group members said showed the war from a Vietnamese perspective and included commentary on perceived American motives — the group also checked out regions and landmarks that played important roles in the war.
They checked out Hỏa Lò Prison, a prisoner of war detention center famously called the Hanoi Hilton, the site of the My Lai village massacre and the Cu Chi tunnels, a 24-square-kilometer area honeycombed with a network of tunnels used by North Vietnamese forces.
A trip into the wild Mekong Delta drove home for many in the group what American service members had to face during the war. With the Mekong River winding narrowly through thick, primitive jungle on either side, Groseth described the soldiers stationed there during the war as having "the scariest jobs ever" while Edgerton said it put much of the war into perspective.
"From that, I got a new appreciation for how difficult it must have been for our guys in there," he said. "We put them in an impossible situation. This country is not like any other. It is almost indescribably different."
For Groseth, revisiting Da Nang, where he was stationed for more than a year, was especially memorable. He said that he tried not to worry too much about how he'd react and was pleasantly surprised upon arrival.
He found a vastly changed city and region that has rebuilt and modernized in the last 40 years. That includes the airbase where he was stationed, which is now the Da Nang airport.
"Coming down into Da Nang was a revelation," Groseth said. "It was amazing for me. It was unrecognizable. I've been saying that when I was there it looked like Omaha Beach and now it looks more like Miami Beach. It was pretty gratifying to see that."
North to south
Pavey said that while many aspects of Vietnam stuck out to her, the most striking was the difference between the north and south halves of the country.
"The north is very different from the U.S.," she said. "But the south is very Westernized."
Even though large swaths of the country remain largely rural and agricultural, dominated by the production of wet rice, many of its large cities have modernized — Western fast food chains aren't so rare anymore, global companies and products are much more common and bustling European-style towns can be found — and Vietnam now has one of the fastest-growing economies on the planet.
"But between those cities, in the inland areas, a lot of the past is still the present," Edgerton said. "You see some of these areas, and it could be Vietnam in the 1200s or Vietnam today."
Everywhere the group went, the Vietnamese people were, as Groseth put it, "unfailingly polite."
In the north they weren't as likely to return a smile as in the south, but everybody — from tour guides at war memorials to villagers near the town of Hue — treated them well.
"I always like to focus on the people and how they react," Pavey said. "People there seemed more than willing to open up to you."
Vietnam is a young country, with about 70 percent of the population 30 years old or younger, meaning many weren't around for the war. Many of them grew up with a nonwartime global influence, and that was reflected in the Billings group's experience.
"Things are definitely different than they were 40 years ago," Groseth said. "A lot changes in 40 years. Who knows what the place will look like in another 20?"
With so much of the country left unexplored on the most recent trip, Edgerton said he plans to organize another similar trip to Vietnam at some point.
He said it's tough to put his finger on the country's appeal, but said it's not like other places, where visiting once is enough.
"Oh, we're going to go back," he said. "It's going to happen."
Pavey, who spent another four days in Cambodia right after the trip, said she'd gladly return and hopes to soon.
"There's so much to see and to do," she said. "We just scratched the surface, with the kind of touristy stuff. It'd be nice to go back and dig in behind all of that."

Talk Show Host Enters Senate Race
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) -- A Sioux City talk show host is running for U.S. Senate.
Republican Samuel Clovis announced his candidacy Monday at a Holiday Inn conference center in Sioux City. He's running for a Senate seat being vacated by retiring five-term Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin.
Clovis, who describes himself as conservative, is a former fighter pilot in the U.S. Air Force. He currently hosts a radio show on KSCJ-AM and is a professor at Morningside College, a small private school in Sioux City.
Clovis says in a statement that he will not be an establishment candidate. He says he will run to expose "crony capitalism" and to halt "the wasteful entity that government has become."

A beacon for sea traffic since it was built in 1913, this National Historic Landmark just celebrated its centennial and has the largest clamshell lens of any lighthouse in the world. It's within a national wildlife refuge, where thousands of seabirds soar on the trade winds and nest on the steep ocean cliffs. Seeing endangered nene geese, white- and red-tailed tropic birds, and more (all identifiable by educational signboards) as well as native plants, dolphins, humpback
whales, huge winter surf, and gorgeous views of the North Shore are well worth the modest entry fee. The gift shop has a great selection of books about the island's natural history and an array of unique merchandise, with all proceeds benefiting education and preservation efforts.

Hey Guys! 4-1 in my league but have a tough flex decision. PPR league and I need to sit 2 and start 1. Zac Stacy @ SF, Ronnie Hillman @ Jets and Cordarelle Patterson @ Detroit. Any help would be great.

Alright experts...... your lists may not do this difficulty justice. I have ben in tough with RBs with Matthews and Moreno hurt.... so I am stuck with Blue, Tate, and Richardson this week. Is Tate healthy enough to be my RB2?
Ok, week 4 is under way and I'm looking at my flex position. I've got Decker who has been steady as my WR4 (other than hurting last week and taking himself out of the game). I still have Hunter who has been underwhelming and just picked up Nicks off the Waiver wire. None of them are lighting it up, but looking for your suggestions who I should start and why. Keep up the great work boys... the extra work I put in thanks to listening to your experts seems to have me in much better shape for both of my teams this season (2-1 in both, but my losses were tight) and I've got the top points against in one league and second most against in my other league... so feel like I'm probably in good shape hopefully going into "easier" future match-ups.
Bye week for Gio and Ball...I can sub in: Asiata, Vereen, or Shonn Greene...or get FA McFadden, Forsett or MJD....What would Uncle Bucketts do? BTW- I'm very happy with how things have gone so far under FFA.com tutilage..Lost week 1 by 1/2 a point...ugg..but 2-1...It's a Yahoo regular $50 pro league..Yahoo Public 1132436 (1132436).
Hey guys! 3-0 in my league so far and I can tell you that is partly due to the prep work I did on this site with the Draft kit. Quick ?, PPR League, Start 3WR and a flex. My Options are Andre Johnson, Cordarelle, Julian Edelman, Cecil Shorts and Steve Smith. Which one should I sit?
Start who this week? Zac Stacy or Doug Martin in a PPR league? Tampa v.s. St. Louis ironically.
Hey guys! Stuck at who to start at flex!! .33 point per catch. Starting Rbs are Charles and Murray. Wr's are Antonio Brown and Andre Johnson... Who to flex out of Crabtree, Gio and Roddy?? I'm leaning Gio
Yo fellas, I'm in a tough bind.... do I gamble on Moreno as my flex or dig into my bench. I have Wheaton and Hunter available and it is a PPR league.
I would love to here a complete draft recap of your guys BIG DRAFT TONIGHT!! With prices etc.
I really enjoy your podcasts! I was hoping you guys might be interested in going over what your team would look like if you were able to pick it using your costs from your listed auction values (This would assume everyone went for your projected value). I think everyone would gain a lot of strategy in seeing which tiers you target and which players specifically.
Hey guys!! Really enjoy listening to your podcast. I am in an auction keeper league where we can keep up to 6 players max up to $10. For every player we keep, we give them a $0.50 raise. My keepers are Charles @ $2.60, Murray @ $2.50, Bush @ $2.20, Bernard @ $1.50 and Crabtree @ $0.90. I was thinking of shaking it up and trading for McCoy who is$3.50. The players I would be trading would be Bush and Bernard. Should I do it or keep my rb depth? Also, how should I draft? Last year I spent $18.50 on Brees and whiffed on MJD @ $9.90. I was still thinking of going top 3 qb and top 10 wr as Calvin, Dez and the majority of them are available. Thoughts??
Thanks for the kind words. Happy to hear we helped out. Umm I'm leaning towards Vereen and asiatsa especially if you are ppr. Good luck!
Thanks for the kind words. Good to know we are helping. As for your question, I think it's between Andre and Smith. But I think you sit Andre in a ppr. No TD with Andre and Smith is catching a ton of balls
I'm a bit scared of Doug until we see more from the hamster. I think Stacy. But it's close
I didn't realize it isn't our home page. I will fix that.
@brettstaylor PPR? I really like Tate. T.Y. is facing a much improved Denver D but might be the better option in a PPR league, I still go Tate though. Good Luck
@55jonesms We will talk about it on the podcast tonight.. great idea!

Rutland police officer suspended
A Rutland Police officer is the focus of a criminal investigation.
Longtime officer, Thomas Fuller, became the focus of a criminal investigation Monday that centered on an unspecified altercation Saturday at Rutland Regional Medical Center.
The 26-year veteran was suspended with pay Monday and a request was sent to Vermont State Police to conduct the investigation.
The nature of the altercation is unclear although police, in a written press release, said no arrests had been made. Fuller was on duty at the time of the incident, police said.
Asked for further details of the incident at the hospital, Police Chief James Baker declined comment.
"At this point, what's in the release is all I can say really," Baker said.
Melissa West, a spokeswoman at RRMC, said Monday night that she had received no information about the incident other than that it did not involve any staff member or patient at the hospital.
Baker said he learned about the incident Monday morning and he said the decision to open an investigation was made after consultation with the chairman of the Rutland Police Commission.
Baker said Fuller will remain suspended with pay for the length of the investigation.
The announcement comes less than two months after city police took similar action involving officer Joseph M. Warfle, a more than 20-year veteran of the force, who had recently returned to limited duty status after a prolonged period on worker's compensation.
Asked about the investigation involving Warfle earlier Monday, Baker said he believed it was nearing its conclusion but had no knowledge about what the outcome might be or whether criminal charges could be brought.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Vermonts state auditor is asking lawmakers to beef up the information consumers can...

We at the cannery usually take January off as we recover from months and months of harvest, fall festivals, and Christmas business. But January is panning out a little different in 2012! Already, we've been asked to stock empty shelves in our our little Southwestern Ohio shops, we opened our jams in a new shop (Basket Country in Maineville), and are planning new jams for our fans!
Last year we introduced Sweetheart Spread as an extra sweet-spicy jam to celebrate true love. This year we've tweaked the spice level, making giving the illusion of a semi-hot cinnamon imperial candy, but with the fresh twist of juicy strawberries. Here is are the ingredients that make up the flavor profile:
Strawberries: Besides being heart-shaped and red, this exquisitely sweet "fruit of love" was considered by the Romans as the fruit to offer the love goddess Venus.
Honey Bourbon: The Kentucky/Ohio border is famous for its fine bourbons. Being sweetened with honey, Honey Bourbon is smoother and sweeter than most whiskeys.
Cayenne: Whoa! Cayenne and bourbon? Oh, yes we can! Besides being a time-honored cure for many maladies, cayenne is a natural blood thinner that strengthens the heart over time. And what's true love without a heart?
Cinnamon: The intoxicating aroma of cinnamon has been immortalized in the religious documents of many faiths as it has been used throughout history as an offering, incense for alters, and even as a perfume for lover's beds.
Per our adherence to the principles of jam purists, Sweetheart Spread contains no citric acid (we use organic lemon juice) nor pectin (we cook it down the old-fashioned way that ensures the strongest fruit flavor and low sugar).
In only a few days, our website will showcase a limited time special on Sweetheart Spread. Take a peek and order some for your sweetheart!

Stop Plans to Cut Stops at Peterborough Station
Current plans could see Peterborough train station's service to London King's Cross cut be up to 50% in 2010 to "speed up" Glasgow to London services. Sign this petition to show Network Rail and ATOC that you will not stand for this.
Recent signatures
Steve marsh, United Kingdom
5 years ago Comments: I commute daily from Peterborough to York. Reducing the number of trains between these two stations at normal commuting times will make it less viable to commute daily. The introduction of more direct York to London trains a couple of years ago restricted my options to travel home, but did not significantly change the stops during peak hours. Travel in peak hours is normally driven by the need to get to and from a place of work on a regular basis. Reducing the ability to do this is likely to drive more travellers onto the roads, which is surely the wrong thing to do? Steve
Ian Steen, United Kingdom
5 years ago Comments: I cannot believe that the Govt. can sanction this idea as it conflicts considerably with trying to improve our individual travelling habits. Perhaps reducing the daily commute costs of train fare and station parking would encourage more rail travel. This would be a positive strategy.
Carol-Ann Hobson, United Kingdom
5 years ago Comments: I travel to my daughter in Darlington. As I am disabled, I would not be able to change in York. The last time this happened to me I had to stand all the way from York to Peterborough even though I had booked a seat!!

A "huge slump" in North American sales is to blame for big-budget Square Enix games Tomb Raider, Hitman: Absolution, and Sleeping Dogs coming up short, the publisher has explained.
In company documents posted this week, Square Enix said that though the games received generally favorable marks from critics, sales--at the level the company hoped for--did not follow.
"However, we were very disappointed to see that the high scores did not translate to actual sales performance," Square Enix said.
As previously announced, Tomb Raider (3.4 million), Hitman: Absolution (3.6 million), and Sleeping Dogs (1.75 million) failed to meet Square Enix sales expectations.
Square Enix this week put the shortcomings in context. Based on content, genre, and scores, the company said Tomb Raider was expected to move 5-6 million units, while Sleeping Dogs and Hitman: Absolution should have sold 2-2.5 million and 4-5.5 million units each, respectively.
"The European market was generally soft," Square Enix explained. "However, what affected us most was the huge slump in North American sales. Not only were sales sluggish, but we were also hit by additional costs in dealing with distribution channels, such as price protection and rebates, which placed huge pressure on our profit and loss."
Square Enix expects to see an "extraordinary loss" for the year ended March 31. The company is looking to new president Yosuke Matsuda--who replaces longtime executive Yoichi Wada--to turn the company around in the time ahead. He has promised a comprehensive review of the company.
