This little gem of a cottage is absolute heaven. I watched the sun go down every night, slept better than I have in years, and awoke each morning ready to sightsee. The bed was snugly warm, and comfy, with an incredible view. The only sound you hear are waves on the marine reserve below. Our host and hostess were spot on with dinner recommendations. If we needed anything, they were there to help. I'm glad they shared with me their little slice of heaven.
Awesome view, adorable cottage, everything you need at your fingertips, close to attractions, relaxing. Everything we hoped it would be and more! Loved exploring the tide pools at low tide, seeing seals on the beach and walking the trails nearby. Could have sat on the deck and watched the ocean all day! Loved it! Hope we can return soon! Thanks for sharing your little piece of paradise!
this cottage is quite clean and had everything we needed for a 3 day stay. The fire pit was enjoyable particularly since it is on the bluff just above the ocean. Easy access to the beach a few blocks away where the seals relax and play.
The bed is quite comfortable and the kitchen, although small had everything we needed and was pretty well stocked with essentials. Plenty of space for the luggage and clothes. The deck is quite nice but the chairs closer to the bluff were too alluring to use the deck.
Carol is a great hostess and even made cookies for us when we arrived - warm from the oven. We would definitely return. I would pick this over their other unit.
I stayed at the cottage with my 2 adult kids and we had a blast! The cottage was perfect...it was so cute, clean, well-equipped kitchen and we had chocolate chip cookies waiting for us at our arrival :) ! The central location was perfect for us as we planned to spend time in San Francisco, Big Basin Redwoods State Park and, of course, at the beach...very nice, I highly recommend this location!
What a wonderful location and cottage. Very clean and stocked with anything you would need. We celebrated our 30 year anniversary while watching an amazing sunset right outside the cottage. The sound of the waves while laying in bed can't get any better! The owners were very nice and even accommodated my daughters special request by leaving a bottle of champagne in our room and delivered some wonderful warm chocolate cookies.
A hidden gem! We will be back!
We had such a wonderful and relaxing stay at the cottage to celebrate our first year of marriage. The cottage is very private and has all of the amenities one could need for a nice escape. We look forward to coming back for years to come! We are so happy that we found this place!
Fitzgerald Marine Reserve is our Back Yard, 2 minute walk. 10 minute walk to Seal Cove Beach, 10 minute walk to Distillery Restaurant!

We only get 1 ride...make the best of it. Laugh as much as you can and love unconditionally.
I'm easy going and looking for someone who doesn't get flustered if a rainstorm ruins our plans. Instead we switch gears, curl up on the couch with a movie and enjoy each other OR splash around in the rain, it all depends on the mood. Life is too short to sweat the small stuff and I have learned that our mood definitely affects those around us. At this point in my life I am tired of the games, I want honesty. What you see with me is what you get. I love to laugh and have fun and see those around me happy. My friends and family would describe me as fiercly loyal, funny and loving. I am very family oriented. My kids are everything. Even though one is raised, on her own and now a mother herself, there is nothing I won't do for her or my grandson. I am very involved with my son's baseball. I attend every game possible (especially since he is graduating this year). They are 2 great kids. I am affectionate and do believe in the fairy tale - in fact I want it. I know relationships are work and I am willing to put the effort into one that is worth it. I also know it can't be one sided. You both have to want it for it to work. You cannot be selfish. I want someone to want to come home to me and me to feel the same way. It is the little things that take up the most room in your heart. Let me know I matter. I don't need to be showered with material things to be happy. Send a simple text or slide your hand into mine. Those are the things that make your heart happy and in the long run.....make life worth it.

Income For Young, Middle-Aged And Elderly Americans, In Two Graphs
Originally published on Tue October 23, 2012 8:20 am
We've done a bunch of posts about household income and spending in America, and we've often sliced things based on the familiar divisions of rich, middle class, and poor.
But there's another, useful variable to consider: Age.
The households of middle-aged people earn about $20,000 more each year, on average, than households of people in their late 20s and early 30s. And they earn roughly $30,000 more than people age 65 and over (note that this difference includes income from Social Security and retirement).
None of this is terribly surprising — income over the life cycle is a curve, and it peaks when people are in their late 40s and early 50s.
Still, it's useful to recall that when we talk about average household income for the nation as a whole, we're lumping in lots of disparate households. A 24-year-old who makes $27,000 a year is in a much different position than a 45-year-old making the same amount.
A few notes on the data:
* All numbers represent pre-tax income.
* Income earned through work includes both money people earned on their full-time job and freelance income.
* Government assistance and benefits includes unemployment compensation, food stamps and veterans' benefits, among other things.
* "Other" includes financial support from others as well as rental and property income.
* The data come the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Here's the spreadsheet.

Klan-style hood found on statue at UCSD
Display follows noose left at library last week
UC Santa Cruz officials said Monday that they found an image of a noose on the inside of a restroom door with the words "San Diego" and "Lynch" on either side, according to published reports.
The current string of events started with a Feb. 15 "Compton Cook Out" party off campus that mocked Black History Month. A student-run TV show subsequently ridiculed blacks and called them ungrateful for their reaction to the party, and used a racial slur.
Many students, faculty and others have been deeply offended by the incidents, while others say too much is being made of the events. They say the name of the party was meant to be satiric and note that a black stand-up comic who goes by the name "Jiggaboo Jones" has claimed that he helped organize it.
Audrey Geisel, who donated an estimated $20 million to the campus's central library, named after her late husband, also donated the statue of Dr. Seuss and the Cat in the Hat in 2004.
Staff writer Roger Showley contributed to this report.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
A priest who seldom goes out of himself, who anoints little - I won't say "not at all" because, thank God, our people take our oil from us anyway - misses out on the best of our people, on what can stir the depths of his priestly heart. Those who do not go out of themselves, instead of being mediators, gradually become intermediaries, managers. We know the difference: the intermediary, the manager, "has already received his reward", and since he doesn't put his own skin and his own heart on the line, he never hears a warm, heartfelt word of thanks. This is precisely the reason why some priests grow dissatisfied, become sad priests, lose heart and become in some sense collectors of antiques or novelties - instead of being shepherds living with "the smell of the sheep", shepherds in the midst of their flock, fishers of men.

VATICAN CITY (Catholic Online) - (Editor in Chief, Deacon Keith Fournier: We offer the full text of the extraordinary homily given Holy Thursday Morning by Pope Francis to the faithful. The words addressed to the over 1600 priests who gathered at St Peter's Basilica on March 28, 2013 are particularly poignant. they are adressed to all priests and point to the direction of what promises to be an extraordinary papacy.)
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
This morning I have the joy of celebrating my first Chrism Mass as the Bishop of Rome. I greet all of you with affection, especially you, dear priests, who, like myself, today recall the day of your ordination.
The readings of our Mass speak of God's "anointed ones": the suffering Servant of Isaiah, King David and Jesus our Lord. All three have this in common: the anointing that they receive is meant in turn to anoint God's faithful people, whose servants they are; they are anointed for the poor, for prisoners, for the oppressed. A fine image of this "being for" others can be found in the Psalm: "It is like the precious oil upon the head, running down upon the beard, on the beard of Aaron, running down upon the collar of his robe" (Ps 133:2). The image of spreading oil, flowing down from the beard of Aaron upon the collar of his sacred robe, is an image of the priestly anointing which, through Christ, the Anointed One, reaches the ends of the earth, represented by the robe.
The sacred robes of the High Priest are rich in symbolism. One such symbol is that the names of the children of Israel were engraved on the onyx stones mounted on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, the ancestor of our present-day chasuble: six on the stone of the right shoulder-piece and six on that of the left (cf. Ex 28:6-14). The names of the twelve tribes of Israel were also engraved on the breastplate (cf. Es 28:21). This means that the priest celebrates by carrying on his shoulders the people entrusted to his care and bearing their names written in his heart. When we put on our simple chasuble, it might well make us feel, upon our shoulders and in our hearts, the burdens and the faces of our faithful people, our saints and martyrs of whom there are many in these times.
From the beauty of all these liturgical things, which is not so much about trappings and fine fabrics than about the glory of our God resplendent in his people, alive and strengthened, we turn to a consideration of activity, action. The precious oil which anoints the head of Aaron does more than simply lend fragrance to his person; it overflows down to "the edges". The Lord will say this clearly: his anointing is meant for the poor, prisoners and the sick, for those who are sorrowing and alone. The ointment is not intended just to make us fragrant, much less to be kept in a jar, for then it would become rancid . and the heart bitter.
A good priest can be recognized by the way his people are anointed. This is a clear test. When our people are anointed with the oil of gladness, it is obvious: for example, when they leave Mass looking as if they have heard good news. Our people like to hear the Gospel preached with "unction", they like it when the Gospel we preach touches their daily lives, when it runs down like the oil of Aaron to the edges of reality, when it brings light to moments of extreme darkness, to the "outskirts" where people of faith are most exposed to the onslaught of those who want to tear down their faith.
People thank us because they feel that we have prayed over the realities of their everyday lives, their troubles, their joys, their burdens and their hopes. And when they feel that the fragrance of the Anointed One, of Christ, has come to them through us, they feel encouraged to entrust to us everything they want to bring before the Lord: "Pray for me, Father, because I have this problem", "Bless me", "Pray for me" - these words are the sign that the anointing has flowed down to the edges of the robe, for it has turned into prayer. The prayers of the people of God. When we have this relationship with God and with his people, and grace passes through us, then we are priests, mediators between God and men.
What I want to emphasize is that we need constantly to stir up God's grace and perceive in every request, even those requests that are inconvenient and at times purely material or downright banal - but only apparently so - the desire of our people to be anointed with fragrant oil, since they know that we have it. To perceive and to sense, even as the Lord sensed the hope-filled anguish of the woman suffering from hemorrhages when she touched the hem of his garment. At that moment, Jesus, surrounded by people on every side, embodies all the beauty of Aaron vested in priestly raiment, with the oil running down upon his robes. It is a hidden beauty, one which shines forth only for those faith-filled eyes of the woman troubled with an issue of blood. But not even the disciples - future priests - see or understand: on the "existential outskirts", they see only what is on the surface: the crowd pressing in on Jesus from all sides (cf. Lk 8:42). The Lord, on the other hand, feels the power of the divine anointing which runs down to the edge of his cloak.
We need to "go out," then, in order to experience our own anointing, its power and its redemptive efficacy: to the "outskirts" where there is suffering, bloodshed, blindness that longs for sight, and prisoners in thrall to many evil masters. It is not in soul-searching or constant introspection that we encounter the Lord: self-help courses can be useful in life, but to live by going from one course to another, from one method to another, leads us to become pelagians and to minimize the power of grace, which comes alive and flourishes to the extent that we, in faith, go out and give ourselves and the Gospel to others, giving what little ointment we have to those who have nothing, nothing at all.
A priest who seldom goes out of himself, who anoints little - I won't say "not at all" because, thank God, our people take our oil from us anyway - misses out on the best of our people, on what can stir the depths of his priestly heart. Those who do not go out of themselves, instead of being mediators, gradually become intermediaries, managers. We know the difference: the intermediary, the manager, "has already received his reward", and since he doesn't put his own skin and his own heart on the line, he never hears a warm, heartfelt word of thanks. This is precisely the reason why some priests grow dissatisfied, become sad priests, lose heart and become in some sense collectors of antiques or novelties - instead of being shepherds living with "the smell of the sheep", shepherds in the midst of their flock, fishers of men.
True enough, the so-called crisis of priestly identity threatens us all and adds to the broader cultural crisis; but if we can resist its onslaught, we will be able to put out in the name of the Lord and cast our nets. It is not a bad thing that reality itself forces us to "put out into the deep", where what we are by grace is clearly seen as pure grace, out into the deep of the contemporary world, where the only thing that counts is "unction" - not function - and the nets which overflow with fish are those cast solely in the name of the One in whom we have put our trust: Jesus.
Dear lay faithful, be close to your priests with affection and with your prayers, that they may always be shepherds according to God's heart.
Dear priests, may God the Father renew in us the Spirit of holiness with whom we have been anointed. May he renew his Spirit in our hearts, that this anointing may spread to everyone, even to those "outskirts" where our faithful people most look for it and most appreciate it. May our people sense that we are the Lord's disciples; may they feel that their names are written upon our priestly vestments and that we seek no other identity; and may they receive through our words and deeds the oil of gladness which Jesus, the Anointed One, came to bring us. Amen.

The story of Great Expectations written by Charles Dickens is one of my favorite books of all time. I remember the first time reading this in high school and I was intrigued by the story. It is a book that should definitely be read by each and all. It is a coming of age story which involves Phillip Pirrip and his quest to become a gentleman. His attempt to become a gentleman takes an interesting start in his young age. He encounters a convict and he helps him and this would have a profound effect on him. His longing to become a gentleman only gets amplified when he meets (in his eyes) a beautiful young girl named Estella. He meets Estella when he is invited to a house owned by Miss Havisham. This in my opinion is one of the key themes of this book as Pip is always struggling and fighting to be a gentleman and win Estella's affection. He is always struggling and longs to achieve that upper class of people to woo Estella. Estella being a young antagonist would have none of that and is always making fun of Pip. Despite this, Pip never gives up and he always has Estella in his heart. That is why I like this book as it follows the character from beginning to adulthood and the twist and turns the book takes. You can sort of relate to this book if you have ever been raised up and moved to college or have struggled to achieve that dream. The story has been so beloved that it has been done in plays and movies over and over again.

MEDITECH Cancels Its HIMSS Participation
Participating in the annual HIMSS conference has proven to be beneficial to MEDITECH and LSS through the years, as we have been able to renew acquaintances, attract new customers, and showcase new product offerings there. Nonetheless, the current economic climate mandates we pay particular attention to spending resources wisely this year. Just as we encourage customers to make HCIS selections based on value, we too must carefully evaluate our expenses and focus on priorities. For this reason, MEDITECH and LSS will not attend the HIMSS conference this year. Instead we will use communication channels such as our extensive program of regional events, annual workshops, Webex demonstrations, and meditech.com to share information. Using this approach, we will be able to continue sharing information on key topics, control our expenses, and minimize everyone's costs.

Port Salon & Day SpaRead MoreWhile most 23-year-olds were trying to figure out their career path, Angelo was busy opening his own salon. And three expansions and more than two decades later, he's still at it. Each day he works with his team of talented stylists and aestheticians to accomplish the goal he laid out in 1991: to create a one-stop beauty shop where clients could get all of their aesthetic needs met. To that end, Angelo employs nail artists who pamper the digits of patrons waiting for hair colour treatments to finish processing, as well as aestheticians who dole out rose, mud, or chocolate baths that can be paired with massages, skin treatments, or giant chocolate duckies.416 Old Smizer Mill Rd.Fenton, MO US
Face EnhancementsRead MoreFace Enhancements' skincare treatments include facials, peels, and body scrubs, all designed to restore youth and radiance.

Oxygen therapy revives dull skin in tandem with parsley and cucumber, and microdermabrasion promotes cellular turnover deep within the dermis using an exfoliant of pears and poppy seeds. Beyond edible ingredients, many services also blend in products by Éminence Organic Skin Care—a Hungarian line that heals signs of aging and ushers toxins from the face and body without relying on chemicals or additives. Those who prefer to save their appetite for later can skip the chocolate and margarita manicures in favor of airbrush makeup or waxing services that clear away fuzz on the face and body.

Endless days in Iceland
Hechtman also took 10 of her favorite movies with her to Iceland, to divide, she says in her artist's statement, summer days that never ended. The films are the ground upon which she builds her photos, borrowing images, or sometimes just moods, from ''Cool Hand Luke,'' ''Harold and Maude,'' and ''Black Robe,'' among others. It's as if in those endless days, she entered a netherworld of filmic dreams and fantasy that even a swift hike couldn't shake off.
The photos are beautiful, with an Iceland summer's diamond gleam. Hechtman's ''Harold and Maude'' quotes a familiar shot of two figures, side by side, seen from behind, here humbled against the backdrop of a forever sky. ''Lost in Translation'' presents an enormous leap, from the Tokyo streetscapes where that film was set to a mossy Icelandic hummock upon which a man sprawls in his parka. No, he's not Bill Murray on his hotel bed, but there's a quality of desolation that's familiar.
These films are a common currency; they bring something familiar to the stark, unfamiliar Icelandic landscape and help us find our place there, alongside the artist.

Save Hungary's Archive
A proposed law may lead to the destruction of Hungarian secret police documents preserved by the Historical Archives of Hungarian State Security. In what serves as a very disturbing development for anyone with an interest in Hungary's Cold War history, the Hungarian government is preparing to enact a new law which may lead to the blatant, politically-motivated sanitization of the country's communist past. Allegedly out of a concern for privacy rights, citizens who were spied upon or observed by the previous regime's state security officers may now not only ask to view their files at the Archives of Hungarian State Security in Budapest, but may also remove these preserved archival documents from the reading room, take them home and have them destroyed.

Sumanth C. Raman, the face of BSNL Sports Quiz, talks about the momentous journey as the show reaches its 500th episode this week. We quiz the quizmaster
Be it at malls, temples or on the street, he's used to being accosted by fond viewers who pop him impromptu questions. "When I bump into viewers aged 80 and above, they ask me questions from the 1940s, and sometimes I don't have the right answer. I tell them I have a talent in selecting good questions, but that doesn't mean I know all the answers," laughs Sumanth C. Raman, host of BSNL Sports Quiz on DD Podhigai. The show that started in 2002 is the longest running live television quiz in India, and has even made it to the Limca Book of Records for the same in 2010. It airs every Saturday at 10.10 p.m. and the coming week will see Dr. Sumanth hosting the 500th episode. "We have achieved this because of the support of our viewers and Doordarshan. It's been a team effort, and for this celebratory episode we will have each member of the show speak to the audience."
Juggling many roles
Apart from this show, Sumanth has hosted nearly 2,000 sports programmes. For a person with a keen interest in sports, did he ever think of taking up sport as a career? "I used to play chess and tennis. As for cricket, I was a great help for the opponent team because I would drop catches and things like that," he smiles. But what did work out for him is a profession in medicine and television. He is a doctor, works for a leading IT company in the health care vertical, and manages his family business too. "I enjoy all these roles, but my heart is in television. At the same time, I'm glad I'm able to contribute to the healthcare and IT sectors."
His tryst with television started in 1987 when he went to Ambasamudram as a Doordarshan commentator for a hockey tournament. Ever since, he has conceived, scripted and anchored about 200 features and documentary programmes on channels, including Doordarshan, Vijay TV, Sun TV and Asianet.
A no-frills set-up
In a day and age where everything is sleekly-packaged, BSNL Sports Quiz has managed to do well in spite of its no-frills set-up. "That's because the format is racy, the questions have a good mix of different sports. It's important to get the balance right. The questions shouldn't be too tough or nobody will be able to answer, and they shouldn't be too easy either because then there is no challenge," he says. Apart from hosting the show, he also does the research and frames questions. The viewers too contribute a few questions, but the quizmaster has to ensure that questions don't get repeated and that the statistics are accurate. "Because then I get flooded with calls and mails from spectators. The margin for error is low. But it also proves we have a very loyal and involved viewership."
In the earlier days, Sumanth spent numerous hours scouring public libraries for questions and photographs. Now, of course, there's the Internet, books and newspaper archives that provide him the fodder. It takes him around 10 hours every week to get his set of 32 questions ready. "I put in three hours on Sundays, and during the week, I stay up at night for two to three hours preparing questions. I manage at least six hours of sleep so I don't go to work groggy-eyed," he jokes.
The BSNL Sports Quiz spanning 50 minutes has him asking questions at tongue-twisting speed and can often make the viewers feel breathless. Luckily for me throughout the interview he sits back relaxed, talks at a comfortable pace and even gives me enough time to finish my coffee and as a result, I don't have to hurriedly take down notes.
How does he manage talking so fast on the show? "It just happens because I feel we should fit in as many callers as possible. It keeps the tempo going. We get callers right from the age of five to even 80 and above, callers from all over the country, and it makes me happy when they win," he says.
In spite of quizzing people for all these years, the experienced host still hasn't tired out. "It's a live programme, and I'm interacting with the public. I feel a tinge of excitement before going on air; in fact, I have butterflies in my stomach!"
Hosted shows such as "Makkal Theerpu", "Tamizha Tamizha", "All Out For No Loss"
Anchored documentaries such as "Power of the Ballot" and "These Leaves Never Wither"

The federal Department of Justice recently filed criminal charges against a 41-year old software programmer and system manager who hacked into his former employer's computer network, causing $90,000 in damage. The complaint alleges that the individual, who had previously voiced displeasure over being passed over for promotions, resigned and gained unauthorized access to the computer network after his network access was terminated. Over a three week period, the former employee attempted to sabotage his former employer's business through stolen security credentials (including passwords) by corrupting the network, disrupting production and finance operations and attempting to alter the business calendar by one month. If convicted, the individual faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and restitution. This prosecution is a reminder for employers to take extra precautions to secure their electronic systems when an employee with such credentials departs.

Pentagon Offers To Share Spectrum With Wireless Industry
redOrbit Staff & Wire Reports – Your Universe Online
The Department of Defense (DoD) said on Tuesday it could transition its operations out of the 1755-1780 MHz frequency band to make the spectrum available for private sector use, the Wall Street Journal reports.
In a letter to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) released by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on Tuesday, the Pentagon said it could relinquish the spectrum "while ensuring no loss of critical DoD capabilities."
The DoD has long held wireless spectrum for use in military operations such as pilot training, drone systems and other programs. The Pentagon's move to relocate from the 1755-1780 MHz band follows growing pressure from the wireless industry and the Obama administration to ease federal control of valuable spectrum.
The DoD said the military could rearrange its systems within that spectrum, as well as the 2025-2110 MHz band, and compress its programs into part of the 1780-1850 MHz band it would retain.
The DoD has faced criticism from the wireless industry and members of Congress for resisting efforts to open the airwaves for commercial use to help meet growing spectrum demands brought about by a new generation of mobile services and devices.
The Pentagon had cited its own growing need for spectrum to support the use of drones and other technologies that rely on wireless capability, and has estimated the process of transitioning its programs to new frequencies would cost more than $12 billion.
But under the new plan, the DoD's cost estimate fell to just $3.5 billion because it would share some sections of airwaves without entirely exiting any of the spectrum bands.
In its letter, originally sent July 17 to the NTIA, DoD Chief Information Officer Teresa Takai said the new proposal represents "a workable balance to provide access to the 1755-1780 MHz band most desired by the commercial wireless industry while ensuring no loss of critical DoD capabilities."
The NTIA, which oversees federal airwaves, sent its own letter to the FCC in response to the Pentagon's proposal, saying it had not yet had enough time to review the plan and could not yet support it.
The FCC, with help from the NTIA, is planning to hold several auctions of airwaves in coming years, including one that would sell off sections of federally controlled spectrum. The auctions will mark the first transitioning of airwave ownership since 2008.
Congress has required the FCC to auction off the 2155-2180 MHz band by February 2015, and the wireless industry has been working to pair that spectrum with the valuable 1755-1780 MHz band so it can be used for LTE networks.
Members of the House of Representatives have already introduced a bill to ensure this coupling takes place.
Last month, President Obama directed federal agencies to look for new ways to relinquish or share more of their airwaves with the private sector. In June 2010, he called for opening up 500 MHz of federal spectrum for commercial use.
Although the DoD's move marks the first major concession by the Pentagon for upcoming auctions, the proposal leaves a number of questions unanswered, including how long the military's programs would remain in the current bands, and how the plan might affect future attempts to clear spectrum now used by the government. Furthermore, before any plan could go into effect, the Secretary of Defense, Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Commerce Secretary all must certify to Congress that moving the DoD operations won't impair military operations.
The DoD also said it would need to relocate into spectrum currently held by television broadcasters, something the industry has reservations about, The Journal said.
DoD spokesman Damien Pickart said stakeholders would need to collaborate to develop the best solution to address these and other concerns.
"We remain committed to work cooperatively on a balanced approach that protects mission-critical military operations while making spectrum available for broadband use to keep our economy in a leadership position," he said.
The FCC launched a proceeding late Tuesday to solicit public comments on a number of proposals related to how the agency should auction the federally owned airwaves to wireless companies.
"We are committed to finding new and innovative strategies to expedite commercial access to additional spectrum," said FCC Acting Chair Mignon Clyburn in a statement.
"I encourage all stakeholders to roll up their sleeves and help us to push this proceeding forward."

Thanks for all the replies
The tank has a filter right after it before it goes anywhere. Its a Culligan .2 micron or something, its the one that blocks everything, even chlorine. it know its an activated charcoal filter. its a PITA to change out, and I know I have to remove it before I flush the system. Otherwise I'll just flood the filter. Thanks a lot for all the help, I'm in Hampton roads and we have 4" of snow on the boat right now, so i am a bit more concerned with keeping warm( a baseboard heater and a forced air heater and very careful electrical management) hopefully I'll be able to find enough hose to tackle this problem relatively soon. I do like drinking water without having to boil it.
One quick filter location, I figured putting it before everything in the system would work well to keep the entire lines free of contaminates, do you think its the new hoses that already had some contaminates on it that grew? or is there a place I should move the filter to or put another one?
Thanks for all your replies,

The rocks entering into the geological formation of the town are disposed in parallel ranges extending north and south. The westernmost of these contains a bed of talcose schist. Next is a narrow range of Upper Helderberg limestone, followed by a vein of clay slate, the residue of the territory being calciferous mica schist. In the central and eastern parts of the town there are several rich beds of muck and shell marl. There are also some ledges of granite rocks.[4]
As of the census[1] of 2000, there were 840 people, 337 households, and 237 families residing in the town. The population density was 21.8 people per square mile (8.4/km²). There were 453 housing units at an average density of 11.8 per square mile (4.5/km²). The racial makeup of the town was 97.50% White, 0.24% Black or African American, 0.60% Native American, 0.12% Pacific Islander, and 1.55% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.24% of the population.

Express Specials
His team is on the verge of being knocked out of the Asia Cup after back-to-back losses but India's stand-in skipper Virat Kohli said he is not at all shocked by the prospect as his side is massively inexperienced even though it has shown "character".
India have lost consecutive matches to Sri Lanka and arch-rivals Pakistan in the five-team event and are all but out of contention for a spot in the final. (Full Coverage Asia Cup 2014)
"I'm not shocked at all. I'm really proud of the way the boys fought it out. I'm really proud of the way the team showed character in the field and with the bowling as well. 245 against a team like Pakistan and on that wicket with the dew is not easy to defend, but I think the guys showed a lot of character," Kohli said after the one-wicket loss to Pakistan.
The defeat was crushing for the fact that India could have nailed it had it not been for successive sixes struck by Shahid Afridi in the final over of the game.
"If you see the kind of batsmen they had and our bowlers with the inexperience they had, still to put up that kind of fight. I mean you see (Amit) Mishra, he gave only 28 runs in 10 overs, took two wickets, bowled brilliantly against the likes of Misbah, Hafeez, Umar Akmal, Shahid Afridi. So I think it was a commendable effort and I'm really, really proud of the way the guys fought it out," Kohli said.
"If you compare the experience of our team with their team, it's massive, it's huge. And in International cricket it really counts a lot. You can get away with it in Twenty20, but in the 50-over format you need to show a lot of character and that's exactly what the boys did," he added.
Defending a modest 246, Indian bowlers, particularly Mishra (2/28 from 10 overs) and R Ashwin (3/44), took the match to the wire and Pakistan were left needing nine runs off the last four balls with one wicket in hand.
But Afridi's big blows sealed the win which took Pakistan a step closer to the final.
Defending his decision to give Ashwin the last over, Kohli said: "I knew that if I put the seamers in before and Ashwin comes to bowl, they will go for it. Wickets are all we wanted. If Afridi and Umar Gul had just played …continued »

Gardening: Free certification for Project Greenscapes
Project Greenscapes is a statewide program developed for landscape professionals on "Best Management Practices" or BMP. This program relates to lawn fertilization, pesticide use, irrigation practices and plant selection to reduce pollution and conserve water.
Two ways pollutants can reach ground water are through run off and leaching.
Leaching is a process whereby pollutants are flushed out of soil by water as it percolates through the ground. In our area, where land is flat, sandy and porous, leaching has been a more serious problem than run off. However, as Florida's population increases pollution from run off has also become an important issue due to more roads, parking lots, suburban areas and farms.
Florida's water resources are very susceptible to pollution because of the state's geology and climate. We obtain almost all of our drinking water from ground water via wells. Ground-water supplies are often near the surface, covered by nothing but sandy soil. Surface waters in Florida are very sensitive to even a small addition of pollution which in turn causes widespread problems in our sensitive estuaries, lakes, rivers and ultimately, the Gulf and Everglades.
When using fertilizers and pesticides people need to consider, in addition to plant nutrition, disease and pest control, the soils susceptibility to leaching and run off, the distance to the water table, slope of the land and distance to surface water and storm drains.
The Greenscapes program teaches the importance of maintaining healthy landscapes and turf and the cultural practices to achieve these healthy landscapes. These practices then help to control pollution problems and wasting water.
A summary of the topics covered are:
Design and Installation of Landscapes Site evaluation and design; Plant selection (turfgrass, trees, shrubs & ground covers); Planting; Environmental stresses on lawns; Shade consideration for turf Irrigation Practices Irrigation system design; Irrigation system installation; Irrigation management; Irrigation system maintenance; Irrigation system errors; Permitting and regulations; Sources for irrigation standards Mulching, Mowing & Pruning Landscape mulches; Mowing the Florida lawn; Pruning landscape plants; Disposing of landscape material Fertilization Fertilizer terms; Fertilizer analysis; Fertilizing landscape plants; Turf fertilization management; Untreated buffer zones near bodies of water; Fertigation; Fertilizer storage and loading; Soil testing; Tissue testing Pest Control Legal issues; Integrated Pest Management; Pesticide use; Pesticide storage; Mixing and loading activities; Pesticide equipment calibration and loading; Pesticide application equipment wash water; Pesticide spill management; Management of pest in the landscape.
The cities of Naples and Sanibel require a certification of completion of the Greenscapes program for all owners of and 10 percent of employees of all landscape contractors doing work within the city limits.
Marco Island is considering this plan as well.
Education is always a great idea for green industry workers but making it mandatory would be another layer of government control which would be difficult to enforce.
The education process needs to include the area of population where the requests for too much fertilizer and pesticides originates. And that is with the homeowner and condominium board members.
This program encourages the trained workers to in turn train their customers. It is sad to say, but in my 30 years of experience, I find many do not believe we have the brains for such knowledge and disregard our information.
I have completed the course and have my certification. And so it is with great pleasure that I tell you that the City of Marco Island and the Beautification Advisory Committee have arranged for this program to be held, free of charge, to the public at Mackle Park Community Center, 1361 Andalusia Terrace on Marco Island today from 2 to 4 p.m.
If you are a lawn care worker or homeowner and have the time don't miss this great opportunity to educate yourselves and become better stewards of our beautiful island environment.
Eileen Ward and her husband, Peter, own and operate Greensward of Marco Inc., a lawn maintenance and landscaping company. Besides completing horticultural courses from the University of Florida, she has a commercial maintenance spray license and is a registered dealer in agricultural products in Florida.

Down syndrome or trisomy 21 is the most common genetic disorder leading to mental retardation. One feature is impaired short- and long-term spatial memory, which has been linked to altered brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels. Mouse models of Down syndrome have been used to assess neurotrophin levels, and reduced BDNF has been demonstrated in brains of adult transgenic mice overexpressing Dyrk1a, a candidate gene for Down syndrome phenotypes. Given the link between DYRK1A overexpression and BDNF reduction in mice, we sought to assess a similar association in humans with Down syndrome. To determine the effect of DYRK1A overexpression on BDNF in the genomic context of both complete trisomy 21 and partial trisomy 21, we used lymphoblastoid cell lines from patients with complete aneuploidy of human chromosome 21 (three copies of DYRK1A) and from patients with partial aneuploidy having either two or three copies of DYRK1A. Decreased BDNF levels were found in lymphoblastoid cell lines from individuals with complete aneuploidy as well as those with partial aneuploidies conferring three DYRK1A alleles. In contrast, lymphoblastoid cell lines from individuals with partial trisomy 21 having only two DYRK1A copies displayed increased BDNF levels. A negative correlation was also detected between BDNF and DYRK1A levels in lymphoblastoid cell lines with complete aneuploidy of human chromosome 21. This finding indicates an upward regulatory role of DYRK1A expression on BDNF levels in lymphoblastoid cell lines and emphasizes the role of genetic variants associated with psychiatric disorders.

|Bison's Craig Bohl is enjoying life atop FCS ranks

Craig Bohl is having the time of his life at North Dakota State.
His program is bidding to join Appalachian State as the only schools to win three straight Championship Subdivision titles. There was that season-opening victory over Kansas State. And this week ESPN's popular College GameDay show is setting up shop in downtown Fargo, N.D., in advance of the Bison's game against Delaware State.
The 55-year-old Bohl has overseen the Bison's ascent in the FCS only nine years after beginning the transition from Division II.
Along the way the Bison have won seven of 10 games against the Bowl Subdivision.
A win over FCS Delaware State would be Bohl's 92nd and make him the career leader at North Dakota State.
