Need Water Filtering Advice
I'm new to these forums and wanted to say hello to you all before I asked my question.
My wife and I just bought an old HUD home in West Michigan (North Muskegon) and are in the process of renovating it. All the plumbing to this house was shattered due to neglect and it froze.So I dropped a new well point down, replaced the pump with a 1 hp shallow well pump. The county engineer told me that there are two aquifers in my neighborhood one at about 25-30 ft and one at about 280 ft. The shallow one has the same water content as the deep aquifer but has iron in it as well according to him. So I decided to deal with the iron instead of paying 5-6k for the deep well. The neighbors have a deep well and they have the same issues as me. So what I would like is some advice as to how I can filter this and get good clean water for our soon to be newly remodeled home. All plumbing and water appliances will be new in this home. There will be 1-2 adults and probably one 3 year old a couple times a week. The house is 1400 sqft, 2 bed room & 1 bath.
The new well pump is in a 5 ft deep cement walled and covered pit. I ran new 3/4 pex into the home thru a 2" conduit so I can change the pipe diameter if I need a larger size to get the GPM I need and not have to dig again. The 1st time was enough 50 ft long and 45" deep. It took me a week to get that accomplished. I have a new 40 gallon bladder thank with the pressure switch at the tank in the garage. The water coming out on the other side is where the 10 GPM was checked.
I bought the house from Fanny Mae (paid cash) so I have no more mortgage. Woo Hoo.
I'm just looking for some advice as to how I should proceed with filtering the water so it doesn't ruin all my hard work. The sinks and toilets that we removed was dark brown stained from the water so whoever had the house before us did not try to filter it. The water comes out tinted and has a funky smell to it. There is no sediment after the water sets for a day or so but it does change color a tad and the water smell gets worse. Below is what I got back from the test that Fanny Mae did on the water to check how safe it was to drink. It passed but I ask my family won't drink it the way it is or bath in it until it's cleaned. There was no other information other than what is shown below.
- Iron 5.85
- Sodium 2.30
- Fluoride .10
- Chloride 1.39
- Sulfate 10.60
- Total Nitrite & Nitrate - E. Coli Absent
- Total Coli-form Absent
- Hardness (as CaCO3) 98.4
I really appreciate your time, I know how valuable it. Thanks!

i can only hope these ships are more pve toys like the breen ship is, rather then the new best pvp escort and pvp carrier. if the dread is tactical focused, i dont see how it could be much of a pvp ship. 4/4 weapons and 7 turn would be a lot for such a thing though
i bet the carrier will have at least a turn rate of 10 for it to be "tactical" focused.

More in Floors
To lay tile on the diagonal, put a speed square in the corner you are starting from and snap a chalk line.
Cut a few tiles on the wet saw and lay them out on the floor for a dryfit. You should mix tiles from different boxes to account for the color variations.
Backbutter the tiles with thinset using a square-notch trowel. The slate tile thickness can vary up to 7/16" of an inch so add extra thinset if necessary to make up the difference. Hold the trowel almost vertically to get the maximum coverage of thinset.

I'm looking for a tool to refactor boolean expression. I've got expressions like
a1 => (b1 <=> c or d) AND
a2 => (b2 <=> c or d) AND
a2 => (b2 <=> c or d)
The tool should be able to simplify expressions, e.g. extract the sub expression "c or d" in the example above. Is there a free computer algebra system which can do this?
Currently I think of refactoring the expressions manually an prove the equivalence with a little haskell quickcheck script.

Lower Prices Pull Down Natural Gas Reserves in 2012
Lower natural gas prices drove down U.S. proved reserves in 2012, despite notable gains in the Marcellus and Eagle Ford shale gas plays. The decline stopped a 14-year trend of consecutive increases in natural gas reserves, according to newly published estimates in EIA's U.S. Crude Oil and Natural Gas Proved Reserves 2012.
Proved reserves are volumes of natural gas that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions.
Natural gas proved reserves, estimated as wet natural gas that includes natural gas plant liquids, decreased 7% in 2012 to 323 trillion cubic feet (Tcf), as operators revised the proved reserves of their existing natural gas fields downward in response to lower natural gas prices (the natural gas spot price at the Henry Hub dropped below $2.00 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) in April 2012, a relatively low price level not experienced since December 2001).
At the state level, Pennsylvania and West Virginia reported the largest net increases (9.8 Tcf and 4.3 Tcf, respectively) in natural gas proved reserves in 2012, driven by the continued development of the Marcellus Shale play. The Marcellus Shale play became the largest shale play (ranked by proved reserves) in the United States in 2012. Proved reserves in shale gas plays accounted for 40% (129.4 Tcf) of U.S. wet natural gas proved reserves in 2012. However, gains in the Marcellus (10.9 Tcf) and Eagle Ford (7.8 Tcf) shale plays were more than offset by price-driven reductions in more mature shale plays (the Barnett and the Haynesville declined a combined 20.7 Tcf) in 2012.
EIA's estimates of proved reserves at the end of 2012 are based on an annual survey of domestic oil and gas well operators. EIA anticipates that proved natural gas reserves for 2013 will be affected positively by the recovery in natural gas prices from 2012 to 2013. From 2012 to 2013, the average natural gas spot price at the Henry Hub, used to estimate reserves (12-month, first-trading-day-of-the-month price), increased from $2.75 to $3.66 per MMBtu.
For more information on U.S. crude oil and natural gas proved reserves, see the full U.S. Crude Oil and Natural Gas Proved Reserves report.

Penn State-Virginia game rescheduled for Dec. 1
By MARK WOGENRICH Of The Morning Call
September 13, 2001
The Penn State-Virginia football game originally scheduled for tonight will be played Dec. 1 in Charlottesville. The game was postponed Wednesday after the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C. "This is a difficult time for everyone," Penn State coach Joe Paterno said in a statement. "People were prepared to play and were excited about playing [tonight]. But, after what happened, I was reluctant to go play a football game. Penn State and Virginia were in agreement that playing on December 1 was the best time to play."

Pa. charter school ratings plummet under new calculations
By Steve Esack and Eugene Tauber, Of The Morning Call
January 22, 2013
The number of charter schools hitting testing benchmarks plummeted after the federal government said the state Education Department graded them too leniently. At first, nearly half of the state's 156 charter schools whose students took the 2012 PSSA math and reading tests made so-called Adequate Yearly Progress under a new grading system Education Secretary Ron Tomalis implemented last summer. The new system, which Tomalis initiated without federal approval and at the behest of a charter school lobbying group, made it easier for charter schools to reach federal standards than traditional public schools.
Student subgroups don't meet targets on PSSA, report says
By Genevieve Marshall Of The Morning Call
November 11, 2003
An analysis of the Bethlehem Area School District's scores on Pennsylvania's standardized tests shows that special education students and pupils with limited English skills failed to meet state benchmarks as a group in math and reading at every education level. The report, released by the district Monday, also shows that the gap in achievement between "regular" students and limited English and learning disabled students widens as students get older. The district's analysis broke down the 2003 Pennsylvania System of School Assessment scores into subgroups to illustrate why some schools had achieved the state's general benchmarks for math and reading but were nonetheless issued warnings by the state.
Study Finds Teachers Back Policy Women Voters Survey Middle Schools In Basd
The Morning Call
February 17, 1984
The League of Women Voters of the Bethlehem Area said its comprehensive survey of teachers in the Bethlehem Area School District's four middle schools shows that they hold "generally favorable opinions toward the philosophy, programs and policies" in these schools. The conclusion is contained in a report issued this week by the league's education committee made up of Helene Whitaker, chairman; Irene Maunz, and Sue Bergman. The confidential and anonymous survey of about 200 teachers was conducted last June 6. "The survey results are encouraging, especially considering it was the first year of the middle school reorganization as well as the year of the teachers strike," the committee members said.

Need color advice for large custom framed wall mirror
M.A.S. ConstructionJanuary 19, 2013
What are some color suggestions for this custom framed large wall mirror? Should i match the trim color? Should i introduce a new color and make two other mirrors to match over vanity sinks?
M.A.S. Construction
Does anyone like this custom mirror frame?
I do! I think you should match the trim color in the room. It's lovely!
M.A.S. Construction
Thanks for the input. I have decided to paint to match trim color and make two mirrors in the same craftsman style to match for over the sinks. @ jayme the vanity tower is a color called white lagoon, it actually has a very light blue tint to it. The sink base cabinets are a maple finish and will remain that way. The customer was on a tight budget. Which is why the cultured marble countertop was left, and a painted cabinet was installed. When i finish the project i will post more pics, again thanks for the insight everyone.
Jeffrey Brooks Interior Design
Ouch!!!!! The concept is a good one but now it looks like an old fashioned bank teller's compartment. Can one or two of the doors come off the storage tower? Towels could be rolled and stacked to break up the mass. There's a lot of mirror in there now too. By installing a few pegs across the frame (of the large mirror) towels, robes or even a bunch of dried flowers could hang from the pegs and would help soften it up. Another idea is to add pegs, and then on just one or two, hang framed photos. Fit the backs of the photos with ribbon which is tied to the peg. Use a putty fixative (museum gel) or caulk to anchor the pictures to the mirror.
The illusion will be that they are hanging from the ribbon tied around the pegs.

Preteens and Teens
> I left my ds at drivers ed today & I am freakind out
Help, left my oldest at drivers education and I am feeling really icky to my stomach about this. I just do not think he is ready to drive but he does KWIM?? , so does his dad& his drivers ed teacher.
So how do you cope when your kids start driving? I felt like crying leaving him there. It is not about him growing up and older or indepence
but plain old mama fear for him to be hurt in an accident.
anyone been through this that can help me???
1st, don't panic!
He is not getting his license today, just some drivers ed. And then he gets months to practice with you in the car before he can get out on his own. If he's awful, don't sign for his licinse.
And this is about fear of letting go! You were afraid he'd get hurt when he took his first steps, when he rode his bike around the block, when you let him cross the street alone (without watching!). But you have to let him go.
Hurray for you that he's getting drivers ed! Take him driving lots, so he gets plenty of experience. Just think, someday, youcan sit in the passenger seat and relax, while he drives you to the grocery, and the department store, and that new coffee shop, and the bed and bath store, then off to.....
Joyce in the mts.
Hello, my name is Ed...Driver Ed...
Just kidding...I taught all of my children to drive. Yup, nervous driver me...and ALL of my kids are really safe drivers. I used it as time to talk, time to connect and time to let them be in control of a really adult space, the car.
I would have given anything for them to take driver ed. but our school at that time, had cut it from the budget, then put it back in but as a weekend activity, which didn't help us at all. All my kids worked pretty much from the time they were about 14 or so, either babysitting or whatever....and on weekends too.
I think the OP reflects the worry or bit of discomfort that each more adult type milestone brings. I think that is normal, though certainly each parent has a differing degree of that itchy feeling...either none at all or some or more...all along the same continuum.
Get used to it...this part of kid's growth is all about those changes that bring teens opportunities to take more responsibility and parents to relinquish some. It's a pretty interesting time.
I would be interested in hearing about how the driver ed lesson went and I hope that you will include lots of practice as another suggested...with a permit, an adult must accompany the student driver. It's a great opportunity to have time together if you can ride along.
I loved it, and it did wonders for my kids to see that Mom really trusted their driving, with some helpful suggestions and driving tips from me too; they were patient with me
Hugs...Joyce in the mts.
Marg of Arabia
My dd starts next month!
My husband is a dispatcher for the state patrol. He has to hear about car accidents nearly everyday! We are both sooooo scared to have her drive!
I feel for you, sister!
Marg of Arabia
Good post, Joyce!! Thanks!
I feel better....
the lesson went well, he goes back more
I think he spends 5 more saturdays with this group then he will be behind the whell with us at home till we think he is ready
it is honestly not about him growing up or a milestone in independence issue, he actually is in college now graduted hs last may and needs to be able to drive to get himself there & to work, he will beleaving to go to 4 yr next year and we are both thrilled about that -- I want him to drive KWIM cause it will make my life much simpler and he wants it, it is not fear of letting go at all, he is my second I have raised to adulthood, the first being one of my dh's family that lived with us while we were married.
it is plain old fear that comes from raising kids and knowing exactly what it feels like to have them in the er constantly for doing stuff i could never have predicted
it is about the fact that he is one of those personalitys, very very bright kid that is totally uncoordinated into book/comptuers etc.. can't do sports, riding a bike in a line is HARD for him, I should have shared that, he has riden right into the side of a blazer at a four way stop on his bike while daydreaming. He is like head in a fog, thinking about stuff he is reading looking a the sights
we homeschooled so we are paying for this driving school
every day there is a car accident in our area, we live on the two lane expressway by an indian reservation and it is dangerous speeders road for him to drive to college, i simply think he is not ready, but then i guess he is as ready as he will ever be, just needs tons of practice --right???? before being alone behind the wheel
Joyce in the mts.
I know what you mean...my oldest, now 24 was/is like that too. But by far he is the more careful driver. So go figure.
I think the more you go out with your ds doing practice, you will see all the improvement, and catch yourself feeling totally at ease enough to forget you are the navigator while he is the pilot. That's a really sure sign that he is really getting good. You'll see.
Sorry I misunderstood your angst about this, but since you didn't specify more than just that you were kind of freaked a bit, about your child starting driver ed, well, I went with what seemed logical. Sorry.
Now the best thing to make you feel better is to get out there with him and just be casual. I have a saying...."Act as if..." whatever comes after "if..." is up to you in whatever the situation. In this case, perhaps, "Act as if....you are at ease when riding with your son, so he can find a comfort level with driving."
My "Act as if..." philosophy has helped me over many humps with my kids...Including worrying that my computer geek son, would daydream behind the wheel. He has really driven to work in some of the worst weather we have hereabouts in winter, and he always tells me about it. He told me every time he has slid off the road only to miraculously find traction enough to get back on track...and numerous other near mishaps. I have come to trust him. I hope you can come to that point too. It IS a HUGE relief from trucking their butts around like a chauffeur, I must say.
I wish you and your son lots of good miles together till he is ready to ride many miles on his own. My son was probably 19 before he got his license, btw. I am actually glad that he waited, because he handled it better with that bit more maturity under his belt.
And the kicker was when a friend of all our kids was killed by a drunk driver...and it was horrible and really had a huge impact on the decisions our kids made with driving, having others in the car and such. It really brought alot of stuff right home to them. Very tough, but really a good lesson. And yes, it made things tougher for me for a bit...but I had to "act as if" I was ok with them driving after that, and you know, before I knew it, I was really ok and didn't worry so much anymore.
Take good care and hugs to you!...Joyce in the mts.
thank you joyce, very wise words and they give me hope
I was just talking to my smil for a ong phone call and she opened my eyes to the fact that I prob underestimated the impact of something that happened to me in the past- when I was 18 I hit a guy jaywalking, I don't think about that anymore and she pointed out to me maybe that is way underlying in my fears
and also she reminded me that I have also had the experience of having my dh live at a rehab center after spinal injury and seeing all the young guys in wheelchairs/ prob is another layer of fear buried in my melon
this happened 3 years ago and every time I visited Jim I would sit in the parking lot & cry for all the other young guys that were not going to walk out of there KWIM?? almost everyone on his floor was auto or motorcycle accident victim, there was one rock climbing guy, and another that had drank and dove into a swim pool. Jim was the only guy that was there in his wing who had back problems and surgeries not related to an accident.
the throw up kinda fear I was feeling makes a bit more sense to me now after this week reflecting on stuff. I must be projecting my fears, maybe he IS a better driver then I think he is
i feel stupid

'When I was a little girl, my mom sent me to take dancing lessons.Later,
in school, I dragged myself to more dance lessons. I suppose I liked it, but I
don't think I was very good."One might imagine that this is a memory
shared by thousands of women around the world: sent to dance lessons as a little
girl, going through the motions to please a demanding parent, and then finally
quitting when both child and parent realize that a future career as a prima
ballerina is just not in the cards. This may well have been the fate of the lady
sharing this memory with us, had it not been for a single 102-minute event that
occurred when she was 12 years old.Ornili Azulay, who was born in Ramat
Gan and grew up in Herzliya, saw the movie Carmen by Spanish filmmaker Carlos
Saura."That movie changed my whole life," says Azulay."From that
moment on, I knew that I wanted to find teachers and learn flamenco and
classical Spanish dance."And learn she did, while somehow fulfilling all
the other requirements of a typical Israeli adolescence and early adulthood.
Azulay attended Tichon Hadash high school in Tel Aviv and then served in the
Navy. "Okay, I was not a sailor," she admits with laughter. "I was the secretary
of a general. And the officers let me go out a lot for dance
rehearsals."All the while, though, a flair for dance and music continued
to burn inside her, which she credits her grandmother for starting."My
late grandmother was born in Syria, in Damascus.And in that sense I was
really lucky to grow up in a home that combined many influences. Life near my
grandmother was really colorful," she says. "It was a little like living every
day, at least imagining, the stories of the Arabian Nights. She was very
colorful. She spoke beautiful Arabic. She actually knew Ladino but she never
spoke it at home. We spoke Hebrew at home. But I can still hear her chatting in
Arabic. And I think I should attribute to her influence my musical talent, my
sense of rhythm. She was exceptionally musical. She loved both Middle Eastern
and classical music. So I grew up in a home that combined Eastern and Western
influences, and I think that made a great deal of difference."Azulay, an
only child, still lives in that home on a quiet street in Herzliya, which she
shares with her mother.Azulay studied flamenco and classical Spanish
dance first in Israel under Sylvia Duran and then in Spain with such eminent
figures as Tomas De Madrid; Victoria Eugenia, former director of the Spanish
National Ballet; and Maria Magdalena, the famed teacher from Carmen, the movie
that had turned Azulay on to Spanish dance when she was a
child.According to Azulay, Spanish dance in general, and flamenco in
particular, relies heavily on the dramatic personality of the lead dancer.
"There is obviously in Spanish dance a type of anger. There is an unending anger
in the female flamenco dancer at the male sex. An unending anger and
pain."To learn to tap into this anger on stage, Azulay also studied
acting, first at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London and later at the
Lee Strasberg Institute in Los Angeles. Along the way, she also studied
literature at Tel Aviv University and, in addition to dancing, is a prolific
writer of poetry. A book of her poems, To Worship God, to Worship Man, was
published in 1994.Azulay's studies, mixed with her own rather intense
personality, have resulted in an artist who has taken in classical Spanish dance
and has moved on from there.She says, "Being an Israeli, I was obliged
to cross a distance and then to cross back. I learned the codes of flamenco and
then came back to myself. I did not 'go native.' I took what I learned and
created a synthesis." performed that synthesis, to wild acclaim as well as occasional opposition from
those who say that she is flouting tradition, on stages throughout Israel and
the world.FROM THE beginning, Azulay has made something of a trademark
of performing before full symphony orchestras, as in 1997, when she created and
danced The Flame and The Frost: A Dialogue For a Dancer and an Orchestra, in
which she portrayed several female characters from Henrik Ibsen's Peer Gynt, set
to the music of Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite. She has since performed with the
Israel Symphony Orchestra, the Brazil Philharmonic in Rio de Janeiro and the
National Symphonic Orchestra of Ecuador, as well as the Los Angeles Opera and
the Los Angeles Master Chorale.Azulay is tall, the very definition of
"statuesque," and strikingly beautiful. The initial effect of meeting her is
frankly overpowering.This, combined with her many talents – she also
plays the piano and is fluent in Hebrew, English and Spanish – begs the question
of whether she has any flaws that she is aware of."I'm very sensitive.
Too sensitive," she says."And when you're too sensitive, and something
hurts you, you need to cry at some point. I think I need a somewhat larger space
for myself, at all levels, than other people need. This is a disadvantage. I
think I need a great deal of space in my mind and a great deal of space in my
life. And I need time to help myself recover from profound emotional
experiences. Perhaps that's one of the reasons I have not yet formed a
partnership with anyone.I haven't gotten married – maybe I will in the
future, maybe I won't – and I haven't got a child. Also, people tell me that I
have a hard time enjoying myself."Asked whether she enjoys dancing and
if she is actually having fun onstage, Azulay replies, "There are some blessed
moments, and they are not very frequent, in which I feel so deep in the dance,
so free in the dance, that I feel like I have gone completely outside of my
body, outside of myself, watching the performance from a distance.In
those rare moments of freedom and profound capacity to enjoy myself in real time
– as if my psyche has gone out of myself and is seeing me – I can't tell you how
great the happiness is. I can't tell you how powerful that emotional orgasm is.
It is the purest form of life.And that's very rare. One can live like a
poor drug addict, searching for that moment again and again, doing your best to
get another one.I think I was just 17 years old when I went through that
experience for the first time."Although she has performed and is known
internationally, Azulay clearly defines herself as an Israeli artist. "I am a
proud Israeli," she says."And I definitely define myself primarily as an
Israeli artist, aspiring to reach wider audiences everywhere."That
search even led her to Hollywood, where she acted and danced in an independent
film, The Brothel, and later found herself in a meeting with none other than the
notorious Mel Gibson. She recalls, "After 20 minutes of conversation about
different things, I knew that he wanted to talk about his movie The Passion of
the Christ. He was very curious about the fact that I am Israeli and Jewish. He
asked me, 'Why is that film making all of you so upset with me?' And I said,
'Mr. Gibson, before we continue, I need to ask you a question, just to make sure
that I can stay with you in this room. Mr.Gibson, do you and I agree
with the fact that the Holocaust took place?' He said, 'Of course it took place.
How could I ever think otherwise? I have friends and neighbors who have numbers
tattooed on their arms.'" On July 19, Azulay will present an evening of dance
and creative art at the Suzanne Dellal Center in Tel Aviv. Entitled Dance and
Desire, the show is described as "a personal voyage in Spanish dance." Azulay
says, "It's a night of solo works in which I combine dance technique with texts.
These are my translations of the poetry of F.G. Lorca and my own poetry as
well.There will be sound recordings and screen projections to accompany
my dance. I'm going to perform several works. Ballade No. 1 by Chopin. My poem,
To Have a Few Words with You – intimate words in high heels, a dialogue between
myself and an empty chair. I will perform the [part of the] bride from Lorca's
Blood Wedding, as well as Ariel Ramirez's Misa Criolla and excerpts from
Carmen."What is ahead for Ornili Azulay? Her immediate future will
apparently revolve around a lifelong fascination with the famous femme fatale
courtesan-turned-WWI-spy, Mata Hari.She says, "I have been developing in
the last few years a one-woman show, telling in monologues and in solo dances
the story of Mata Hari. Since I was very young, people have told me that I am
much like her. Some people say I look like her. I think that the resemblance
might be at a deeper level. I have always been deeply intrigued by her story. It
is about feminine power that victimizes itself. She was eventually arrested,
convicted and executed by firing squad on evidence that was not even enough to
flog a cat. I deeply relate to how an attractive woman can be cursed by her
attractiveness.I hope to have the show in production by the end of
2013."Asked what she would do with her days if for some reason she could
no longer dance or participate in the arts, Azulay replies, "When I was little,
my first childhood dream was to become a chemist, and a great scientist like
Madame Curie. My second childhood dream was to be a squirrel. I guess when you
mix Madame Curie and a squirrel, you get a flamenco dancer."On that
note, I ask whether she ever wakes up in the morning wishing that she was a
"normal, everyday person" leading a "normal, everyday life."Her reply is
immediate: "No, I do not."Ornili Azulay will perform "Dance and Desire"
at the Suzanne Dellal Center in Tel Aviv on Thursday at 9 p.m. For tickets and

Bought this as a gift for friend over year ago, she still wears it well. The clasp is a little tricky and you have to watch it doesn't stretch or it will come undone.
Gave these as gifts and they abosolutely loved them!!!
Bought for daughter-in-law for Christmas and gave it to her early. She loved the bracelet and with a small wrist has trouble finding bracelets that fit. This was perfect. It is not knotted between each as you might expect pearls to be but this does not take away from the classic look of the item.
I have been ordering from Overstock Worldstock Fair Trade to help in the great job this organization is doing around the world. I have been so impressed at the care taken when packing and shipping the jewelry. The quality is great and it feels really nice to be able to say what country your items are from. I am in Love with this Pearl Bracelet, the quality of the pearls is great and the bracelet is so unique, unlike anything you will find in a Jewelry store. I get so many compliments on it :)
I ordered this as a birthday gift for my best friend. The bracelet arrived today. It is beautiful, well made and of impressive quality. I am grateful for the enclosed description of the business, marketing and artistic process involved in my purchase. Kudos to Overstock for providing us with the opportunity to purchase this type of handmade item. I will look for the Novica site for other "fair trade" items.

In 1935, a Jewish boy earning $35 a week carrying 300 pound blocks of ice, was offered three times more to fight; win, lose or draw. For one hundred dollars a week, Jock Whitney, British aristocrat and sportsman, owned Abe Simon. Abe won his first 14 fights, 12 by knockout. On his climb to fight Louis in 1941 he would knock out 27 opponents, including Jersey Joe Walcott.

Mr. Molovinsky,
What is the significance with The Star of David on Mr. Simon's boxing trunks? I realize that he is Jewish and its Judaic implications and significance. But was that insignia something that all Jewish boxers had to wear? Hopefully, that was something Mr. Simon freely chose to wear.
Peace, ~~Alex

Progress ....
Don't want to be a post hog but thought it might be helpful to see the last years of the Park's main bed. The first shot was taken in September, 2005.
We started with 10' long junipers encroaching on a crab grass "lawn" with buckled brick walkway that was 3/4 buried extending approximately from the middle of the parking area in front of the garage to the patio steps.
We set a goal of spending no more than $500 per year including everything, and we've pretty much stuck to that. It certainly could've happened faster with a bigger budget, but in a few more years when the seed-sowns are mature and our "stick with roots" shrubs are full-grown, I think I'll appreciate it even more knowing it was truly "from scratch."
So we yanked a lot of half dead stuff in 2004 with the help of a Bobcat, took stock of what was left, and pulled out the graph paper.
2005 - From the garage door - no Rugosa yet. No plants at all to speak of :-) This was year 2 that involved amending the solid clay soil and putting in copious amounts of mulch and compost:
2006: Standing in what is now the middle of the bed -- no paths, no anything except a plan
2007: Year 2.5 and to my eye it was beginning to take shape with the main walk and pathways in
2008: What a little perseverance will do :-)
I love seeing the progression, Martie!
Sometimes I am terribly overwhelmed at the cost or size of my monumental gardening ideas, and you are an inspiration! I will think of you as I slowly tackle my own big ideas :)
Thank you for sharing. I'm not very good at identifying plants via photos - could you name the woody plant materials for me? Is that a yellow lilac I see? LOL! I'm a goof, I know :)
Your yellow lilac, Saucy, is really Chionanthus retusus that smells something like heaven. Behind that with the big white balls is Viburnum carlesii that was started with a cutting from my "old" garden. Big bush just to the right of the BB is a Rugosa rose. Beyond that standing upright is a Malus 'Louisa'. To the left and out of the pic is Clethra and the infamous Jap Maple.
I've used woodies in all my garden spaces as insurance that I'll still have a garden when I'm old(er) :-)
Marie -- Thank You! Satisfaction at its finest.
Martie...I love before and after photos. What a change since you started. You can start to see how it will look when it is more mature. Very nicely done. I would like another now photo, from the angle that photo #2 was taken. Did you have bulbs in this area then take them out? Planning some hanging baskets for the shepherd's hook?

- In the Loop
- Production year: 2009
- Country: UK
- Cert (UK): 15
- Runtime: 109 mins
- Directors: Armando Iannucci
- Cast: Anna Chlumsky, Chris Addison, Gina McKee, James Gandolfini, Mimi Kennedy, Peter Capaldi, Steve Coogan, Tom Hollander
This is so far ahead of other current comedies that I had more laughs from the 27 minutes of deleted scenes than any other full-length movie this year. There's no sign of strain in the switch from the half-hour small-screen format of The Thick of It that trips up so many of our TV talents. Mixing London politics with its Washington equivalent extends the scope and range as well as ushering in a range of US politicos, headed by James Gandolfini's general. There's a dark undertone - the plot is a build-up to a middle Eastern war with obvious Iraq parallels - but this is a hilarious comedy with a casually brilliant use of the language, and easily tops Iannucci's previous TV successes.
• Out on 24 August

Tattoo Design Patterns
==== ==== Ink Monster Tattoo Designs http://tinyurl.com/InkMonsterTattooDesign ==== ==== Choosing the Right Tattoo Patterns and Express Yourself Better If you truly want to get the very best tattoos, one of the first things that you must do is to find the correct tattoo patterns. There are lots of different designs and patterns that are available, and finding the proper one can help you express yourself better. There's nothing better than being able to have something permanent on your body. If you haven't selected a design yet, you might want to know the places where it's easy to get the patterns for your tattoo. One of the finest places where you can get to find the patterns that you may want is in the trade mags that are devoted towards the art of tattooing. There are some magazines available at your local bookstore, and you could expect to see brilliant examples of the tattoos. Another option you can use in finding examples of the tattoos is to do an online search. You can find hundreds of galleries for the tattoos, which will give you plenty of decisions to select form. Some of the online studios are often specified by subject, so if you actually have a design to mind , you can search for the right pattern fast. When you're ready to take the following step and have the design tattooed on your body, you might want to go to the local tattoo shop and discuss to the artist the models and tattoo patterns that you're considering. They can advise you on how you might get the right pattern which will truly get to match your personality and style. One of the best things about going to the tattoo shop is that you could also learn if a certain style would work best on you. The artist may even suggest alternative placements for the tattoo, and they can even come up with variations in the design that you're going to like better. It is easy to get a really good tattoo that may reflect exactly what you want when you find a tattoo artist that cares about the final product. There are many folks who want to style their own tattoos, so you should not let people try and talk you into picking a pattern form a book. Instead , you must insist firmly on the patterns and styles that you actually want. Of course , you are the one that's making a change in your body, and not them. You would really need to reflect your very own personality, so you must try and find elements that may really make your own style unique. When selecting the best tattoo patterns, there are no set rules that you need to follow. Having a tattoo is pretty much like having an original art form. You should choose the style that is good on your standards, and you should also choose a pattern that you would actually be happy to display. ==== ==== Ink Monster Tattoo Designs http://tinyurl.com/InkMonsterTattooDesign ==== ====

Apple continues to do well in the market, as the company's flagship product, the iPhone, gained significant traction since March, and the Mac line of desktop computers also saw growth.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Apple sold 35.2 million iPhones over the last three months, up 13% from the same period last year, and Mac was up 18% with 4.4 million units sold.
You can bring a light into the darkness with "prayer and action."
For Apple, iPad did not sell as well, down 9% with 13.2 million units sold over the last quarter, and the news that customers are buying cheaper iPads-such as the iPad mini-has also hurt the bottom line.
Apple's CEO Tim Cook blamed "market softness" in a few parts of the world, but he did sound hopeful that turnaround might come from Apple's recently announced deal with IBM, effective later in 2014.
Cook said that tablets have not caught on in an office setting, and he hoped that the deal with IBM would change that.
"We think our partnership with IBM will be one such catalyst for future iPad growth," Cook said. "We're very bullish about the tablet market."
Apple's profits grew 12% to $7.7 billion, or $1.28 per share, during the fiscal third quarter which ended in June. Apple's earnings per share was also up slightly because of the company's continual stock buyback program, which has lowered the amount of shares held by investors by about 7% since last year.
The company posted $37.4 billion in revenue, up 6%, and the company's profits exceeded Wall Street expectations. For this quarter, Apple is expecting sales between $37 billion and $40 billion.
All eyes are also on the company for the next few months, for the expected September release of the iPhone 6, and many are expecting that many customers are holding out purchasing iPhones in anticipation of it.

Won't break the bank cocktail from Downtown Italian, Recipes Inspired by Italy, Created in New York's West Village (Andrews McMeel, October 2014) by Joe Campanale, Gabriel Thompson, Katherine Thompson.
Roasted-Orange Negroni Sbagliato
Serves 1
Rocks Glass
This cocktail was inspired by the sparkling bright-red drink I discovered while studying in Italy.
The Negroni Sbagliato ("broken" or "mistaken" Negroni, because it features sparkling wine instead of gin) was inexpensive, and it quickly became my favorite drink.
1 wedge roasted orange (see Notes)
1 ounce red vermouth (such as Carpano Antica Formula)
1¼ ounces Campari
1¼ ounces Lini Lambrusco Bianco, or other sparkling white wine
Orange peel, for garnish
Place the orange wedge in a mixing glass and add the vermouth. Muddle the two so that the charred bits of the orange are released into the vermouth. Add the Campari and ice; cover and shake.
Fill a chilled rocks glass with ice. Strain the contents of the mixing glass into the rocks glass. Add the sparkling wine. Do not stir, as this will dissipate the bubbles. Garnish with the orange peel.
Notes: Roasted orange: To roast the orange, first cut it into 8 wedges and soak the wedges in red vermouth overnight. Roast them on a hot grill until they are charred and caramelized on both sides. You can keep them refrigerated, covered with red vermouth, for 1 week.
Preparation: This cocktail can also be made as a regular Roasted-Orange Negroni by using gin instead of sparkling wine (in the same proportions) and stirring with ice instead of shaking; strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Never shake the drink with the sparkling wine; the mixing glass will "explode" like a can of soda after being shaken.

I have eaten here several times over the past few years and they are always consistently good! Their pizza is excellent! I have picked up pizza to go and been there at lunch time, good service and good food!
Authentic food. Great big portions and friendly staff. Bread seems home made also. Love the chicken!
We were passing through the town and literally stumbled upon this restaurant. It looked like a mom and pop pizzeria from back home (New York) so we went in. The garlic knots are HUGE and rather tasty, the marinara sauce was surprisingly good! The ham and cheese Stromboli was big as well and once you get to the center where...
It's a great place for Italian food. Reasonably priced for the type of cuisine. Al, the server, is very attentive and nice. Do not forget to ask for an order of their garlic rolls!!!
I have lived in Brownsburg most of my life and have had Italian food all over the USA and yet I find that my favorite is still Sal's. Wonderful food!
We eat at Sal's more often than we probably should! We usually get pizza take-out from the Sal's in Brownsburg, but we'll occasionally dine-in there or at the Plainfield location. Either way, we always get a pizza. Even if my wife wants some of their other Italian dishes. If we have any pizza left, we take it home and it...
They have the best Pizza in Brownsburg as far as I am concerned. Cozy place to sit and have a drink and eat your hearts delight of Pizza or any other Italian meals
The service was so shockingly bad that we almost thought we must be on some candid camera show. They took our drink orders and then never brought drinks. Finally they came back and took them again, completely forgetting they'd already taken them once. We were there for dinner and the sun was setting during our meal (around 7 pm) and...
The food is very tasty, the ice tea is wonderful. It is small, but, we enjoy the food, and go there at least a couple times every time we visit the area. In fact, we look forward to making it a "stop" !
It may be in a non-distinct strip mall, but worth the trip. Ate here in March 2012 and many years ago (2001-2004) when living in Indiana. Never disappointed, always excellent food. A bit small and cramped, but the food is always top notch. Service is adequate.

California Water Officials Say Drought Proclamation Likely
The Director of the California Department of Water Resources says he believes Governor Jerry Brown will likely declare a drought. Mark Cowin made the comments to the state Board of Food and Agriculture today.
Water managers painted a bleak picture for the board of the dry conditions and low reservoir levels around the state. Cowin says all signs point to a drought.
"My belief is that we will have a drought proclamation. The signs are pretty clear at this point. The remaining question is, 'what do we need to put in that drought proclamation that will actually beyond the messaging help us deal with the impending crisis.'"
Cowin says a proclamation would likely come on February first, which is the date of the next snow survey. A drought proclamation would make it easier to relax water quality standards and streamline water transfers.
Water districts in the San Joaquin Valley say they expect hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland to remain fallow this year.

World Bulletin / News Desk
Most Egyptian political groups will refrain from participating in planned anti-Brotherhood protest on Friday, linking organisers with counter-revolutionary forces.
Two controversial Egyptian figures, anti-revolution television presenter Tawfiq Okasha and former MP Mohamed Abu-Hamed, were the first to call for mass protests aimed at "toppling Muslim Brotherhood rule" on Friday, 24 August.
The protesters are planning a sit-in near the presidential palace, aim to demand an investigation into the Brotherhood's funding and reject President Mursi's interim constitution that took legislative powers away from the military.
The Brotherhood has accused protest organisers of planning unrest in the hope that the military, which took charge of Egypt after president Hosni Mubarak was overthrown in February 2011, would step in again.
Despite frequent assurances from organisers that the planned demonstration would be peaceful, rumours have circulated that Friday's protest would target the Brotherhood's Cairo headquarters.
Most revolutionary groups continue to reject the planned 24 August demonstration, AlAhram said. According to the Revolution Youth Union, the protest is being planned by counter-revolutionary supporters of defeated presidential candidate Ahmed Shafiq.
"These calls are not at all related to the January 25 revolution or its demands," read a statement released by the union. "These are supporters of the counter-revolution who call for reinstating military rule and the old regime and should therefore not be heeded."
The Egyptian Coptic Coalition has said it would participate in Friday's protest to demand a civil – i.e., non-religious – state.
Independent daily Al-Shorouk has reported that the Brotherhood – along with other Islamist parties such as the Salafist Nour Party and the Jamaa Al-Islamiya – is planning its own counter-demonstration to coincide with Friday's scheduled anti-Brotherhood protest.
Statement by Iraqi PM says Iraqi security forces captured western and southern parts of Tikrit.
Despite his success in French local elections, it is too early to talk about a Nicolas Sarkozy candidacy for the 2017 presidential election, say experts.

The Dutch meteorological office issued a code red warning for the low-lying country's northern and coastal provinces, as gusts of up to 120 kilometres (75 miles) an hour battered the Netherlands.
With the court swamped with investigations in Africa and prosecutors already struggling to secure convictions, legal experts say they need to be absolutely certain before proceeding with a highly politicised case againstIsrael.
A source from Mostafa's office told AA that the deputy PM, who also serves as economy minister, presented his resignation during a Palestinian cabinet meeting in Ramallah on Tuesday
The official asserted that Abbas had not intended to call for Arab military intervention in the Gaza Strip, which since 2007 has been governed by resistance movement Hamas
Iraqi forces have retaken the Salaheddin provincial government headquarters in Tikrit from the ISIL , a significant advance in the battle to recapture the city, officials said Tuesday.
France's National Front party has won a sizeable number of council seats in Sunday's second round of local elections. Though the party didn't do as well as was predicted in polls, its leader Marine Le Pen calls the results a "magnificent success."

Another strong start for Zimmermann
Jul 8, 2010, 9:16 PM EDT
Jordan Zimmermann turned in another impressive showing in his second rehab start earlier today.
Starting once again for Class A Potomac, Zimmermann tossed three scoreless innings at Frederick, allowing one hit with five strikeouts and no walks. He threw 45 pitches, 30 for strikes, in the next step in the right-hander's recovery from major elbow surgery.
Zimmermann, who had Tommy John surgery last August, has yet to surrender a run in five rehab innings with Potomac. He also hasn't walked a batter, though he did hit one during today's game.
The Nationals haven't announced plans yet for Zimmermann's next outing, though he'll be scheduled to pitch four innings whenever and wherever the start takes place. If he continues to progress as hoped, the 24-year-old figures to come off the 60-day disabled list and join the Nats' rotation sometime in August.
- Andrew - Jul 8, 2010 at 11:59 PM
This is the type of news the Nats need. A 2011 rotation of #1 Strasburg #2 J. Zimmermann #3 TBD #4 TBD #5 TBDWith #1 and #2 I think they can win 30 games combined in 2011.
- Cwj - Jul 9, 2010 at 12:52 AM
Yeah I agree with Andrew. Strasburg and Zimmermann will likely be the top of next year's rotation (and perhaps even beginning when J. Zimm returns in August).
- Andrew - Jul 9, 2010 at 1:24 AM
CWJ, sad part is I can't think of who gets the 3 to 5 spot.JD Martin, Detwiler, Wang, Marquis, Stammen, Lannan, Thompson, Chico are all under team control. Then do you bring back Livo for another 1 year deal or even sign a top Free Agent pitcher.So many pitchers for so few coveted spots.

JPMorgan Chase's loss is a rare misstep by the bank's chief, Jamie Dimon, who prides himself on having his fingers on the pulse of his 270,000-employee company.
Since Sunday, reports have surfaced the JP Morgan's board may release a report blaming CEO Jamie Dimon for last year's the $6.2 billion 'London Whale' trading loss.
Many analysts have suggested JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) to split up into smaller entities, as the bank faces increased scrutiny due to its size and complexity. As financial watchdogs tirelessly hunt down the "too big to fail" elements of the banking sector, JPMorgan, the largest US bank by assets, attracts more regulatory constraints than its competitors.
NEW YORK — JPMorgan Chase reported a 55 percent jump in earnings for the last three months of 2012 as mortgage fees and other income surged. The bank also released internal reviews of a surprise $6 billion trading loss that has drawn sanctions from regulators and said it would cut its CEO's pay as a result. JPMorgan, the country's biggest bank by assets, will pay Jamie Dimon $11.5 million for 2012, consisting of $1.5 million in salary and restricted stock awards of $10 million.
JP Morgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) has announced that it will close 300 branches worldwide, which are about 5% of its total banks. In an attempt to save costs, the bank plans to cut down on its physical branches over a period of two years. The move is in line with the bank's $1.4 billion cost-cutting plan, announced earlier this year.
Earlier today, as part of our JPM earnings recap we observed that "VaR plunged from $106 to $62" and wondered if it was just just "another excel copy/paste error" which as we reported previously, is what JPM's internal audit attributed much of the confusion surrounding JPM's VaR calculation around the time the London Whale blow up nearly doubled the firm's VaR.
They shape economies, move markets, do deals — and change the world. They hold sway by virtue of the money the manage, the companies they control, the policies they enact and the ideas they propound. The people on the third annual 50 Most Influential list, to be published in the October issue of Bloomberg Markets magazine, command attention as masters of the global financial system.
A federation of U.S. labor unions is looking to force JPMorgan Chase's board to consider breaking up the company after the disastrous "London Whale" affair, but the bank is trying to ensure that its shareholders do not get to vote on the union's proposal.
The largest U.S. bank is seeking permission from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to omit the proposal from the measures that shareholders vote on this spring, according to a letter sent to the agency on January 14.
Jamie Dimon will appear before the upper house's banking committee in the wake of his bank's $2bn trading losses on credit derivatives
The value of restricted stock grant is 50 percent higher than last year, but Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan Chase's chief executive, can point to the bank's earnings, which rose 48 percent in 2010.

Jobless Claims Fall Sharply
An estimated 435,000 people filed first-time claims for jobless benefits last week, the Employment and Training Administration just announced, down by 24,000 from the previous week.
According to the Associated Press, "many Wall Street economists expected a smaller decrease," and it's the third decline in the past four weeks.
Note: This report usually comes out on Thursdays, but federal offices will be closed tomorrow for Veterans Day. There's no indication in the report that the sooner-than-usual release had any impact on the numbers.
