Great stuff By kenny on 8/25/2012 kenny would recommend this product to a friend Running this High Capacity in my dual BRS reactor and it keeps my Phosphate near or at zero. Me and my corals love it.....I have no nuisance algae and my tank looks great! Best GFO By Mike on 8/21/2012 Mike would recommend this product to a friend Go with the High Capacity, less dust and lasts long. Great product. Wow By brandon on 8/14/2012 brandon would recommend this product to a friend This GFO cleans up good, Between this and R.O.X. my numbers dropped to 0 all across the board. LFS actually said my water was too clean. Dont take that as a bad thing, just had to cut back a bit and get used to using a superior product. It may cost a bit more but it last LONGER as it is WAY MORE efficient! Cant beat it. Works better than what I've been using By David on 8/11/2012 David would recommend this product to a friend Ive been buying my GFO from my local aquarium store but the quality was not nearly as good as the BRS HC. The stuff I used to buy had very small fines that would end up in my refugium. BRS HC has the perfect size grains and after a quick rinsing they don't end up anywhere but where there suppose to be, in the reactor plus I don't have to use as much. I highly recommend the BRS HC feric oxide and will continue to use it as long as I have a reef aquarium Captain Dave Egan Sarasota Florida PS my phosphates read 0.03 A must for any reef By Brendan on 8/10/2012 Brendan would recommend this product to a friend I run this in two deluxe reactors. Works great. No complaints. AWESOME!! By wallace on 8/4/2012 wallace would recommend this product to a friend You can not beat this product. Perfect for rmoving phosphates!! Never switch By Big Country on 8/2/2012 Big Country would recommend this product to a friend Tried every other phosphate remover out there and this is the best. Dropped Phosphates with in a week. Recommend this product to anyone! Awesome product By William on 8/1/2012 William would recommend this product to a friend Best GFO on the market IMO. Have it running in a filter bag in my AquaClear 110 HOB power filter. It's working wonders. Too early to tell By Colin on 7/25/2012 Colin would recommend this product to a friend Got the GFO high capacity about 2 or 3 months ago seems to have made a decent dent in algae growth. I also cut my light cycle down by a couple hours so I don't know if that helped. I also have read that it takes several months to really start working. Overall satisfied with the product Much easier to work with than regular capacity By Joshua on 7/24/2012 Joshua would recommend this product to a friend In my experience, the high capacity GFO produced far fewer fines than the regular capacity. I use less and less each time, and am down to a tablespoon on my 20 long, which is good for 3+ weeks feeding 1/4 - 1/3 cube of frozen per day. From what I've read, it also holds up to regeneration better since it is much more dense. I've yet to regenerate any of my GFO yet since I use so little, so I can't speak from experience. looking good By Micah on 6/19/2012 Micah would recommend this product to a friend so far so good I got it tumbling in a dual brs reactor next to rox carbon on a 72 bowfront its been about a week now so I am not going to rate preformance a five yet but like I said so far so good... I will try to remember to post another review in about a month..

Yo my minion readers.
Until now you have responded quite well to all the "wisdom" posts in the FG. So we decided to kick up the level of your intelligence with a series of new articles
Please enjoy and get some XP points asap..
We find ourselves in an unquestioning, patternless existence where everything occurs seemingly without reason.
There is no learning from experience: "Once bitten, twice shy," becomes "Once bitten, never shy," and the rhythms of the natural world are unappreciated
Lets take alook
How We Believe (Times Books),Michael Shermer.Scientific American(+),
''I argue that our brains are belief engines: evolved pattern-recognition machines that connect the dots and create meaning out of the patterns that we think we see in nature. Sometimes A really is connected to B; sometimes it is not. When it is, we have learned something valuable about the environment from which we can make predictions that aid in survival and reproduction. We are the ancestors of those most successful at finding patterns. This process is called association learning, and it is fundamental to all animal behavior, from the humble worm C. elegans to H. sapiens.''
Hmm..[believing that we are 70% on the same page here], a sample connection example is tested
Using evolutionary modeling(aha) and having a demonstration through it, Harvard University biologist Kevin R. Foster and University of Helsinki biologist Hanna Kokko in '08.. tested the theory and tried to have a gist out of it:
They begin with the formula pb > c,
where a belief may be held when the cost (c) of doing so is less than the probability (p) of the benefit (b). For example, believing that the rustle in the grass is a dangerous predator when it is only the wind does not cost much, but believing that a dangerous predator is the wind may cost an animal its life. !!
Gist: natural selection will favor patternicity..whenever |the cost of believing a false pattern is real| is less than |the cost of not believing a real pattern|
[Our goal is to never fall under 80%.. Although reaching a high barrier consists a lot of mind streaming continuation]
-weakness of human cognision=pervasive(to any direction) tendency of human beings to see order in random configurations
-[bot special(+)]
"the entire enterprise of science, after all, is the organized and rational search for order in the seeming randomness surrounding us'(skeptic) + "Science is not formal logic, it needs the free play of the mind in as great a degree as any other creative art."(believer) ="merely noting patterns or coincidences is not proof in and of itself but, applied properly, can be the creative leap needed to devise new and testable hypotheses."(DBS Sceptic)
Being a bit fussy[open for anykind of fight] could never really help anyone, so lets experience the proposed INJECTION on meaningful coincidence in life
- Every coincidence is meaningful
- It happens to everyone but the person far best qualified to comprehend them is the one whom they occur to
- It is usually confirmation of whatever it is you are engaged in at the moment.
- All meaningful coincidences(Synchronicity) are indeed signs pointing us in a specific direction at the most opportune moment.
~Creativity + Apophenia~
[Bonus to start with +5%] Brugger describes a "'relativity of creativity,' i.e., [a] continuum from creative detection of real patterns at one end, to the 'hypercreative' interpretation of patterns in 'noise' [randomness] at the other end."
Leonardo Da Vinci, utilizing this tendency in order to harness the creativity of his students, advised them to :
Look at walls covered with many stains . . . with the idea of imagining some scene, you will see in it a similarity to landscapes adorned with mountains, rivers, rocks, trees, plains, broad valleys, and hills of all kinds… also battles and figures with lively gestures and strange faces and costumes and an infinity of things which you can reduce to separate and complex forms.
[Nothing but net]
Apophenia, in its more benign(!) state provides us
1)a powerful tool to make sense and safety of the world and people around us.
2) it is a well-spring of pseudo-science and nonsense, an irrational leap bypassing reason and rationality.

"Rock/Creek Race Team member Randy Whorton was skeptical... he immediately took them out for a 20-mile run, followed by a hard 6-miler on the most technical trails in the Chattanooga area. Thrilled with the results to that point, he decided to wear them while running the Black Mountain 50k. Here's what he wrote after the race..."

Comments about Hoka Mafate Trail Running Shoe (Women's):
I run on trails and the road in my mafates. They fit beautifully and have never let me down on either terrain. And they're wicked warm in winter! My only sad face is that the soles wear down pretty quick, and when the tread is gone they're pretty slippery in mud, grass and wet sidewalks. This is my third pair and I haven't found anything yet I'd rather have.

Comments about Hoka Mafate Trail Running Shoe (Women's):
I first saw these shoes when I was a volunteer at the Hardrock 100. Karl Meltzer and Diana Finkle both were wearing them. I thought they looked odd, heavy and cumbersome. I had never seen trail shoes that looked liked overgrown road shoes. However, after seeing them in ads in trail running magazines and seeing other trail runners wearing them, I had to check them out. When I first put them on, I could not believe how light they were and how comfortable. The first time I ran in mine (birthday present to myself) was on a gravel road. I could not believe how comfortable they were and I could not feel the gravels. Then I ran in them on a dirt hilly trail with many roots. Running downhill was so "bouncy" like I had on shock absorbers. I think these are great, especially for older runners wanting to protect their knees. I am in love with mine and will most likely buy another pair when I wear these out.

Comments about Hoka Mafate Trail Running Shoe (Women's):
It's hard to know what to think about these shoes until you try them on and run in them. The profile makes them look like platform shoes but your foot actually sits fairly low in the shoe and they feel like normal shoes except that they are super cushy. This comfort factor is certainly present for walking but where they are really great is that they displace the impact of landing and the sharp or hard edges of rocks or roots. I haven't put enough miles on them to know if they will be great for the 600 or 700 miles as touted by their manufacturers but I do know that they have allowed me to feel more comfortable during and after running several days in a row than any shoes I have been wearing. I have a disk problem so the impact displacement is important. And so is being able to run as many days as I can. The shoe employs barefoot "technology", which means it is designed for mid or forefoot strikers. And while I thought I would feel like I was walking in clown shoes because of the wide and high sole, they feel normal. And they feel GREAT!

POTSDAM Oral Nick Hillary was arrested Thursday and charged with the murder of Garrett J. Phillips, the 12-year-old Potsdam boy found suffocated and strangled to death in his home in 2011.
The sealed indictment charging second-degree murder was handed up about 1:45 p.m. in St. Lawrence County Court.
Hillary, 39, head coach of the Clarkson University mens soccer team, was taken into custody at his Leroy Street home an hour later. Handcuffed, he proclaimed his innocence as village police led him away. He was arraigned and sent to the county jail without bail.
Clarkson placed him on administrative leave, according to Kelly O. Chezum, university vice president for external relations.
Our Associate Athletic Director Laurel Kane will be working with student athletes at this time, Ms. Chezum said.
The indictment alleges that between 4:56 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Oct. 24, 2011, Hillary murdered Garrett by suffocation and strangulation in the boys home at 100 Market St., Apt. 4.
Garrett was found unconscious at his home after neighbors heard screams and cries for help. He was pronounced dead that evening at Canton-Potsdam Hospital.
District Attorney Mary E. Rain said her office had reached out to Hillarys attorney, Christopher Renfroe, to give Hillary an opportunity to turn himself in. After waiting 45 minutes at the station, police picked Hillary up at his home on Leroy Street about 3 p.m.
Led into the station by Potsdam Police Lt. Mark R. Murray, a lead investigator in the case, Hillary repeated that he was 100 percent innocent.
Hillary was arraigned without counsel in St. Lawrence County Court, Canton. Judge Jerome J. Richards entered a not-guilty plea on his behalf.
Ms. Rain said that since Hillary has Jamaican citizenship and is facing a potential life sentence, and because she has extensive evidence proving his guilt, he was a flight risk and should be detained. She said his contract as the head coach of the Clarkson University mens soccer team ends this month.
Hillary was sent to jail without bail pending an arraignment with counsel and bail hearing today at 10 a.m.
Judge Richards also issued five orders of protection in favor of future trial witnesses, all members of Garretts family, including his mother, Tandy L. Collins, and uncle Brian A. Phillips.
Following arraignment, Mr. Phillips, who started the Justice for Garrett reward fund, said this was a huge moment for the family. Mr. Phillips cleared his throat and wiped his eyes as he thanked all of the agencies and people involved in the investigation over the last two and a half years.
We wouldnt be here if it wasnt for their hard work and dedication, but this is just one more level that we had to get to to get to the end. What we want is a conviction for someone that took Garretts life, Mr. Phillips said. Ive been confident for two and a half years, and today I am just a little more confident. Its a good day.
Nick Hillary has finally been brought to court to answer for these charges, and I think there will be a little sense of relief for them, but there wont be a great sense of accomplishment until he is actually convicted.
Village Police Chief Kevin M. Bates credited the lead investigators in the case, Lt. Murray and state police Investigator Ted Levinson, for their dedication and hard work.
This has been a very long and difficult investigation for our department and the state police and the district attorneys office, Mr. Bates said. State police have been working side by side with us since day one of this investigation and have devoted an enormous amount of resources to this investigation to help us bring justice to Garrett and his family.
Ms. Rain said the change in administration and the significant body of evidence helped in the grand jurys ability to indict Hillary after two and a half years.
We worked vigorously to develop that evidence, Ms. Rain said.
She said Thomas J. Mortati, the attorney defending village police against a defamation lawsuit brought by Hillary, gathered information during a deposition in the civil matter that helped assist in the continuation of the investigation.
Video of Hillarys arrest can be seen at http://wdt.me/hillary-arrest.

THE NYI ON K.O. BEING A NO-GOTrevor Smith to Bport…Everyone's Favorite Drink
UPDATED 7:25 pm: Kyle Okposo didn't get named to the rookie team of the Young Stars Game. I would have thought Okposo's ability and story would have been a nice one for the NHL to showcase over All-Star Weekend, but the league did not agree. They can't take everyone. Maybe he will make it as a soph.
In response to a request for the team's reaction, the Islanders provided this statement to Point Blank: "We are disappointed that Kyle wasn't selected for the Young Stars Game," said general manager Garth Snow. "We have really seen signs this year of the bright future he has."
Trevor Smith and Yann Danis returned to Bridgeport. Perhaps Frans Nielsen could return next week. The Islanders don't play until Tuesday and Smith could use the time in the AHL and the Sound Tigers could use him.
Any chance we can retire the expression "drink the Kool-Aid"? As in when you don't agree with something I write, I'm serving the Kool-Aid and all the fans who disagree with you are guzzling it? Cliche got old more than a decade ago. Also seems like something people say when they don't have a better argument.

|Upset Bid In, New Waiting Period is On
|Written by Steve Frank
|Sunday, 28 October 2012 06:20
An upset bid came in Friday for the old Watauga High Property, and the new bidder is being represented by Templeton Properties. The new bid, $18,948,000, did not come with a disclosed plan from Phil Templeton, but the bid exceeds the $18 million from Campus Crest Development.
So the new bid puts the county into a new 10-day waiting period, ending at 5pm November 8th, with any potential bidder needing to offer just under $20 million to go to the next level. It was only two years ago that the property, once hoped to bring over $25 million, was appraised at something over $8 million. With continued interest, Watauga Commissioners may get back to a level more to their liking.

Jerusalem was built first by Jews. facts. most, but not all Jews where dispelled to live in Europe and other countries 300 thousand years ago.. Some continued living in Palestine. Jews never claimed a part of land from any countries they lived in for milleniums. Why should they? They respect the history and dont ask for what is not trully theirs. May be they should of...after all Arabs that lived in Palestine under the British rule never asked for a country called Palesetine...that is until Jews that got tired of prosecution for milleniums had enough of atrocites and decided to take their destiny into their own hands and used the historical facts relating their origins to Jerusalem and Palestine to fight British colonisation of the region. Facts. Arabs, who tolerated Brits without much resistance in the region all of a sudden woke up and started the claim toward Palesetine...only because now Jews who had a country there to begin with wanted to establish it again. Ho, no...So, now a new nation is invented by Arabs called Palestinians (as there ever was such a countty) and instigate them to fight off Jews. Fighting Brits was not imprtant. But fighting Jews is now important. Palestinians are origing from Jourdan and Lebanon and Egipt. Sp, let me as you...should Jews claim a land in countries they lived in the last 300 years? The world aproves of Palestinians doing it...why not Jews to do the same to Europians countries? Ouch...i dont thin that any of the country (like France who voted for Palestinian reconition as a state)) would want it. Jews all over the world. Listen. The world will push us because we tried being 'ligical' and did nto fight back pogroms, exoduses, gas chambers. And being 'nice' did nto work for us. Being strong and claim what is historicaly justified is our only resort. Arabs live in a regioin that could be compared as an elephant (arabs) to a fly (Israel). Nothing is ever enough for them. Arabs (includign Palestinians) should start giving rights to the women and stop electing religious fanatics to govern them .
Our "DIE-HARD" ALL THING ISLAMIC supporter, "RABID" Israel-US-India (rather all things UN-ISLAMIC) hater, Plagiarist Mr. Zakaria is at again.
He first suggested to the Egyptians to throw out the Egypt-Israel peace treaty SHAMELESSLY calling it a treaty between two regimes and NOT two peoples.
He then said an attack on Iran will be seen as an extension of America's war on the Islamic world (even though the Saudis and other Arab regions in the region themselves have called for "CUTTING THE HEAD OF THE SNAKE".
He then called AMERICA AS A GREATER THREAT TO THE WORLD THAN AL-QAEDA!!!!!!
He found a READY REASON for the MUMBAI ATTACKS in what he calls SYSTEMATIC ALIENATION of Indian Muslims (of whom he is one, as also his POLYGAMIST late ISLAMIC SCHOLAR father, and another India BAITER Mr. Rafiq Zakaria).
Likewise he blamed the barbaric Chechyan attack at the Moscow airport killing scores on the Russian people.
And now.....he is trying to sow the seeds for a ONE STATE SOLUTION (or a Palestinian state on their terms which will SURELY ELIMINATE the Jewish State).
No wonder more & more Americans & Indians (his native country, and so's mine) are seeing this man as a GREATER THREAT TO AMERICA, ISRAEL & INDIA than those die-hard radicals themselves.
GOD SAVE AMERICA IF Mr.ZAKARIA who's now an external advisor to President Obama indeed becomes the next Us. Sec. of State or nudges closer to the reiigns of power!
Zakaria's description of how the Palestinians could gain their own state, by pushing Netanyahu or any Israeli government to grant voting rights, won't work, for this reason. In most scenarios, might wins. As long as Hamas and others determined to destroy Israel wield power, they will not allow a solution that allows Israel to exist. If Israel's neighbors would change their swords into plowshares, there would likey be a Palestinian state.
what the palestinians say is allow all settlements ans settlers become part of palestine as long as the settlers become palestinians citizens and abide by laws of palestine and allow palestinians to buy homes in the settlements. settlers will run away leaving free homes for palestinians
I really admire your bravery to come out in the face of absolute blindness towards the attrocities done on the palestinian people. Thank you so much for being one of the most just journalist of recent times.

PAWTUCKET — Conducting a job interview via Skype didn't impede Jeff Levering in the slightest.
Staring into a screen that contained the faces of Pawtucket Red Sox President Mike Tamburro, General Manager Lou Schwechheimer and Vice President of Public Relations Bill Wanless, Levering regaled the panel with tales of a teenage Dustin Pedroia. Picture two 16-year-olds playing on the same summertime baseball team and the lifelong memories that were forged.
"We played on a team called the Capitol City Bombers that finished second nationally in an AAU tournament that year. I batted second and Dustin batted third," said Levering. "We had a great time together and during my interview process, I showed [the PawSox brass] my California driver's license, which has a freshly dyed head of hair that Dustin did for me. I actually dyed his hair to his liking right after the tournament. Both of us ended up dying it bleach blonde.
"I cracked the joke that that's when Dustin still had hair and (Tamburro, Schwechheimer and Wanless) all laughed," Levering continued.
Getting up-close and having mischievous encounters with the current second baseman of the Boston Red Sox may very well have placed Levering's candidacy over the top. The PawSox announced Wednesday that they have hired the 29-year-old to work in their radio broadcast booth. Levering will replace the departed Aaron Goldsmith, who last month accepted a radio job with the Seattle Mariners.
Blessed with a deep voice and a sense of humor, Levering called games for the past three seasons for the Double-A Springfield Cardinals of the St. Louis Cardinals organization. Prior to joining Springfield, Levering spent three seasons (2007-09) as Director of Broadcasting/Media Relations for the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, the High-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels.
Levering began his professional broadcasting career in 2005 as a field reporter and associate producer for Fox Sports West/Prime Ticket in Los Angeles covering the Angels, Dodgers, and Lakers. His responsibilities at the time allowed him to be present inside Angel Stadium of Anaheim when his buddy Pedroia made his Red Sox debut on August 22, 2006.
"I was there for his first big-league hit and saw him the clubhouse that night and wished him congratulations," recalled Levering. "The next day, I made a couple of tapes of as many angles as possible with all the different calls from the Fox Sports broadcast that night. It's going to be nice to see Dustin again and rehash some of our fun memories together."
Levering's first day at McCoy Stadium will be Monday, March 4. A graduate of California's Chapman University, where he earned a degree in broadcast journalism, he's already professed his enthusiasm for his new job by saying Wednesday that he counts 43 days until Pawtucket's season opener on April 4 at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
"I'm looking forward to introducing myself to (new Pawtucket manager) Gary DiSarcina and the rest of the staff and get to know what (the 2013 PawSox) are going to look like," said Levering.
Levering needs no reminders of the legacy of PawSox broadcasters, many of who have parlayed their tenure with the Triple-A franchise into professional gigs. Goldsmith ended up lasting just one season in Pawtucket after replacing Dan Hoard, who spent six seasons in the PawSox radio booth from 2006-2011 before earning the call to the National Football League (Cincinnati Bengals) in the fall of 2011.
The group of former PawSox broadcasters to ride the minors-to-majors shuffle includes Don Orsillo (now in his 13th season as the voice of the Red Sox on NESN), Dave Flemming (with the San Francisco Giants), Andy Freed (the voice of the Tampa Bay Rays) and Dave Jageler (presently the voice of the Washington Nationals).
"Just to be considered, interviewed and then selected to be a part of this great legacy that is the PawSox radio broadcast, it really is very humbling. I'm excited to continue the great tradition that's been set for people like me," Levering expressed. "It's been fun to get know the organization with the tradition that it has."
Who will serve as Levering's broadcast sidekick remains to be determined, according to the PawSox. That void was created when longtime No. 2 announcer Steve Hyder resigned in December.

New Member Here Saying Hi!
Hey everybody!
I just signed up and wanted to introduce myself.
I couldn't find a place for introductions so I chose here. (If that's incorrect administrators please move this to the right place or let me know where to say hi)..if there is no particular place for newbies to say hi, maybe a topic just for introductions could be made here in the forum.
I'm no stranger to forums, I belong to a bunch (for years now) but this one is a little tricky.
Just for now I'll say I'm 44 years old in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
I've been collecting all sorts of goodies since I was 5 years old (1973).
My Mom and Dad were collectors too, my Dad had to retire very early with no pension or safety net because of Cancer so we learned early on how to save and stretch what little money we had. Thus the collecting followed.
We have many fields of collecting passions but my special area of expertise is Vintage Comic Books. Golden, Silver, Bronze and Copper Age.
I have over 22000 vintage comic books and have become an expert in the field. I even taught a night course for "Basic Comic Book Collecting" that benefited new and beginner collectors as well as the highly advanced.
I am also a professional Rock Drummer, I've been playing/touring/recording for over 31 years now.
That is where I've earned the name "Hollywood Hank"!
I have a good eye for vintage and antique items and have a great deal of knowledge on several collecting area's but I'm looking to learn even MORE about a half dozen more.
You know the people who buy a collection and flip it quickly...that's not me! I'M the guy that buys in bulk (when I can) and sorts through everything individually and turns it into a business. Due to back and neck problems my rock n' roll days are (for the moment) on hold so I'm turning to my other passions (antiques and collectibles) and making it my full time work.
On the road I met my fantastically supportive wife Stacey (whom also goes by another nickname...Pooser) because her favorite superhero is Wally West - The Flash!
Together we search the world for goodies and live the dream of being self employed while doing the things we love to do! We have no kids (cause they would want to play with all our toys..LoL) but we have an amazing puppy of 14 years who is our little boy to us!
Family Fun at the Floodway 024.jpgOur biggest goal in life is to move permanently to San Diego some day!
I am about to open an online vintage/collectibles/antique store because believe it or not, we have enough inventory for THREE stores..LoL!!
I am also working on an online vintage comic book store, but that will be down the road after we set up the other store first.
I have been lucky enough to grow up in the perfect era for collecting and to have met a girl that knows the importance and value of my/our items we hold dear.
My Dad passed away about 14 years ago and my Mom has had a terrible stroke that has her paralyzed and in a resting home but their unique and special prized possessions will live on in the collectors homes we find for them. All my life I've been waiting for the right opportunity and time to pass them on along with some of our stuff.... the time is now (before I get too old to do anything with them).
My Mom and Dad's legacy will live on while allowing me to do what I love to do...meet collectors, go to auctions and flea markets and have my own online business's!
Area's I'm looking to expand my horizons in are:
(All vintage by the way).
Vintage Stamps, Postcards, coins, records, silver and precious metals, costume jewelry, knicknacks (porcelain, glass, occupied Japan, china), and old paperback and hard cover books.
I look forward to this great website to learn more and make many new friends.....the ONLY thing I collect that is new..Ha Ha!
Take care my friends,
C-U in the funny papers!
Hollywood Hank, Pooser and Ruston!
Oh yeah, I'm also a Jedi and a DC!
(But Trekkies and Marvel's are okay too)!

Now that temperatures in Carbon County have dropped and winter is just around the corner, its time to turn our attention to basic heating appliance maintenance and safety. We rely on our heating appliances to keep our homes warm and most of them will function flawlessly for years if we have them service regularly.
If you haven't had your heating appliances serviced this fall, now is the time to make sure they are in proper working condition for the long winter months. In Price City our incidents involving structure fires have dropped drastically over the past four years. We believe it is because our residents have made fire prevention a priority, but don't be lulled into thinking we are always safe. Fire prevention takes constant vigilance and remembering some basic home heating appliance safety and maintenance points may help.
Gas Furnaces.
Have your natural gas or LPG furnace cleaned and inspected by a licensed professional.
Replace the filters regularly.
Don't store combustible items near your furnace, maintain at least a 3' clearance.
Ensure there is enough air flow to your furnace for adequate combustion. If you are unsure, contact Questar or a licensed heating/cooling contractor.
Purchase a Carbon Monoxide detector and install it in your home and change the batteries regularly.
Coal/Wood burning stoves.
Have your chimney cleaned and inspected by a licensed contractor. Many older homes have masonry chimneys which have degraded over the years. This can lead to a house fire if the chimney is not fixed properly.
If you choose to burn coal in your stove, make sure your appliance is rated for the higher temperatures which coal produces. Coal can burn at temperatures which are nearly double that of wood products.
Make sure there is enough clearance between the stove and combustible materials, including floors, walls, and ceilings.
Place the stove on a noncombustible, fire-resistant base.
Burn only dry, well-seasoned wood. This helps to prevent creosote buildup, which can lead to a chimney fire.
Place a screen in front of the fireplace to prevent embers or sparks from escaping onto the rug or furniture.
Have a pair of heat-proof gloves and fireplace implements ready in case you have to pick-up a red hot ember that has fallen out of the stove or fireplace.
Keep the fireplace damper fully open when the fireplace is in use. This also helps to prevent creosote buildup on chimney walls.
Dispose of ashes properly after they are allowed to cool and placed in a closed metal container outside and away from the home.
Don't start a stove or fireplace fire with flammable fluids, such as gasoline.
Don't leave your children unattended near your stove or fireplace.
Don't burn pressure treated wood, painted wood, drift wood, particle board, plywood, plastic, magazines, colored paper, gift wrap, cardboard, or garbage.
Don't use artificial logs in wood burning stoves; they are intended for fireplaces only.
The sad fact is that local fire departments responded to numerous fires, carbon monoxide instances, and injuries which were caused by neglecting these basic safety precautions. Take a few moments and ensure your heating appliances are safe; we don't want the ghosts of Christmas fires past to ruin you holiday season by a preventable fire.

Fern Jentges is one of many seniors that is using the battery powered scooter or "motorized wheelchair" to get around town this summer. In Fern's case, like many of the others, the motorized scooter is their only source of mobility.
According to Nancy Bently, director of Active Reentry, "It's either they use the scooter or they wouldn't be able to get around."
Bently points out that with the increasing number of these machines on the streets the public is reminded that these are considered pedestrians and not vehicles. They follow the same rules as people riding bicycles and also face the same safety issues. Only one person is allowed on each scooter and people using this type of machine are required to have attach a red flag.
These people have the right of way at cross walks and vehicle drivers are encouraged to be observant and take extra caution and care when driving around people who are using the scooters.
Another couple safety tips important during the summer include people being extra careful when elderly people are attempting to cross the streets at the cross walks. People who need extra time walking across the streets are reminded to always push the crosswalk button, thus giving them extra time to safely cross the street. Should someone simply walk across the street, when the light changes to green, time will be much shorter, depending on the vehicles approaching in that direction. However by pushing the crosswalk button a few seconds are added to the time allowing the people to safely get across the street.
As always, during the hot periods of the summer people should be aware of their elderly neighbors and friends. It is recommended that elderly people who are living alone be checked on a couple times a day.

Is it OK to have medical marijuana at a police station?
SPRINGFIELD, Ore. -- Medical marijuana user Paul McClain said he is right.
"If, according to the law, that it works," he said, "then I'm going to be exonerated."
Springfield police Sgt. Tom Borchers said he is right.
"Well it's our belief that he'll be convicted based on the definition of the law," Borchers said.
McClain goes to trial next month on a ticket for illegal marijuana possession. Officers found a sack of weed and pipes in his backpack during a search last month at the Springfield Justice Center, the city's police station.
At the root of the dispute: Can Oregon's 26,000 registered medical marijuana users carry the drug with them wherever they go?
One part of Oregon's medical marijuana law seems to support McClain's argument:
ORS 475.309 says "a person engaged in or assisting in the medical use of marijuana is excepted from the criminal laws of the state for possession, delivery or production of marijuana ..."
However, ORS 475.316 qualifies that the exception from criminal laws does not extend to someone who "engages in the medical use of marijuana in a public place" defined in ORS 161.015 as "hallways, lobbies and other parts of apartment houses and hotels not constituting rooms or apartments designed for actual residence, and highways, streets, schools, places of amusement, parks, playgrounds and premises used in connection with public passenger transportation."
Source: Oregon Revised Statutes
Web links
McClain said his state-issued medical marijuana card gives him the right to carry the drug outside his home.
"I feel I was complying with state regulations because I read the regulations about medical marijuana and that I was in compliance," he said.
Springfield police don't think the law allows people with a medical marijuana card to carry the drug in public.
"Our position is that he unlawfully possessed marijuana in a public place," Borchers said.
So whether it's just outside the courtroom here in the hallway of the springfield justice center or on the street outside the center, police maintain it's illegal to bring in medical marijuana into a public space.
"The law defines medical marijuana use as possession," Borchers said.
McClain disagrees.
"If the rules that I've read are incorrect, then I've been misinformed," McClain said.
On April 22, McClain will find out if his legal argument will stand or go up in smoke.
"If these rules are right, then I am right," he said. "It's about these rules."

For 18 years, Jude Farraday has put her children's needs above her own, and it shows - her twins, Mia and Zach, are bright and happy teenagers. When Lexi Baill moves into their small, close-knit community, no one is more welcoming than Jude. Lexi, a former foster child with a dark past, quickly becomes Mia's best friend. Then Zach falls in love with Lexi and the three become inseparable.
Jude does everything to keep her kids on track for college and out of harm's way. It has always been easy - until senior year of high school. Suddenly she is at a loss. Nothing feels safe anymore; every time Mia and Zach leave the house, she worries about them. On a hot summer's night her worst fears are realized. One decision will change the course of their lives. In the blink of an eye, the Farraday family will be torn apart and Lexi will lose everything. In the years that follow, each must face the consequences of that single night and find a way to forget... or the courage to forgive.Vivid, universal, and emotionally complex, Night Road raises profound questions about motherhood, identity, love, and forgiveness. It is a luminous, heartbreaking novel that captures both the exquisite pain of loss and the stunning power of hope. This is Kristin Hannah at her very best, telling an unforgettable story about the longing for family, the resilience of the human heart, and the courage it takes to forgive the people we love.
©2011 Kristin Hannah (P)2011 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
I LOVE to listen to audiobooks - the Audible ap is by far the best thing that's ever happend to my iPhone.
"Oh for heaven's sake"
The storyline was good. I did appreciate the fact that it didn't sugar coat the issues in the book. It presented them realistically and kept the message going throughout the story. When my kids are teenagers, this is a story I'd like them to hear.
However - the mother - she spent the first half other the book smothering her children with everything her time and money could provide - and the second half of the book, she litterally checked out. Of course until the last 1hr 44min. Then somehow she put herself back together in the span of a day or two... even though she apparantly couldn't function for years. I was so irritated with her behavior - that I found myself cringing.
"Took awhile to get into but worth it"
I understand why one reviewer would say it's geared toward teenagers except for the mothers perspective and depth of loss would be too much for a younger person to relate to. It took a bit to get into, but the author takes her time to develop the intricacies and inner turmoils of the relationships with the characters so once the true drama begins you are so familiar with them that it was worth going thru.
"Good story - predictable ending (more like a 3.5)"
I have mixed feeling about this book and it could be because I listen to it rather than read it. For me it started out very similar to Firefly Lane and prayed it would not be the same story written with different characters. Well it turned out it was not. I felt the 1st half of the story really was geared to teenagers in high school - parties, drinking, drugs and some hints of sex ???
I found this part of the story somewhat annoying ??? and it could because of the narrator.
The story spans around Farraday family ??? an over bearing mother Jude, her doctor husband, Miles and 2 twins, Mia and Zach. Lexi Baill, a former foster child the small town with her aunt and is welcomed into the Farraday home with open arms. Lexi and Mia become the BFF and in senior year Lexi and Zach fall in love. In one night and one bad decision cause will tear the family apart and cause Lexi to lose everything.
What I found frustrating with the story was the mother ??? the 1st half of the story she was better than a ???mother of the year??? ??? the second half of the book .. she mentally abandons her family and drowns in self-pity. I found the ending very predictable ??? not that was bad .. we needed some happiness in the book.
I did come away from the book that the message that love and forgiveness does heal and the courage to get there.
"Well Written and Worth the Read"
This should be required reading for all teenagers. It shows the major consequences of making the simple but very bad decision of drinking and driving. It was heart wrenching. And after showing all of the pain of making certain life choices, it also showed how to forgive and move on from the past to live in the present and have hope for the future.
"Like a Harlequin romance"
The writing is overly dramatic and forced. The story is dull and full of cliches. Save your money.
"Don't Waste Your Time"
The audience for this book should be teen-age girls. Very predictable. Narrative is frequently repetitive.
"Great book!"
I think Kristin Hannah's books can be a little sappy, but I really enjoyed this one, and was sorry when it ended. The narrator does a fantastic job, which always helps, too!
I LOVE books. And dogs & quilting & beading & volunteering.
"A sad story of a regular families loss"
Night Road is the story of a young girl who has spent her life in foster care until she turns 14. She meets twins her age, they befriend each other thru high school until one terrible night.
The narration is excellent and drew me into the story. It's one I'll listen to again, I'm sure. Well worth a credit-aimed at teens and young women this is a heart rending novel
I am a public speaker and entertainer that lives in The Beautiful Lake of The Ozarks in Missouri.
"This is a must read but bring tissues."
I highly recommend this book and have spoken to most of my friends about it already. This book had me so engrossed in the story that I broke into tears on a few different occasions. At one point, my husband had called and I was so caught up in the book that I was crying to him about a chapter. That has never happened before. Kristin Hannah never disappoints but she outdid herself with this one.
When one of the characters was giving birth I cried for her. I held my breathe as I listened to the details. My heart ached for her. I don't remember ever being so emotionally involved with a book.
She has a great voice and it took me right into the story.
I don't know the answer to that.
It was a beautiful book that exposed you to so many raw emotions. As sad as it was, I loved reading it. I went through the emotions with the characters and so few books do that for the reader.
"I love Kristin Hannah Books"
I was worried that I would be disappointed by this book since Kristin Hannah is not generally so dark. But she did not disappoint.
"Night road"
Loved it. Twists and turns and kept me engaged throughout. A good book to listen to

On-the-fly code quality analysis is available in C#, VB.NET, XAML, ASP.NET, ASP.NET MVC, JavaScript, TypeScript, CSS, HTML, and XML. You'll know right away if your code needs to be improved.
Not only does ReSharper warn you when there's a problem in your code but it provides hundreds of quick-fixes to solve them automatically, in the best possible way.
Automated solution-wide code refactorings help safely change your code base. Whether you need to revitalize legacy code or put your project structure in order, you can lean on ReSharper.
You can instantly navigate and search in the whole solution. Jump to any file, type, or type member, or navigate from a specific symbol to its usages, base and derived symbols, or implementations.
Multiple code editing helpers include extended IntelliSense, hundreds of instant code transformations, auto-importing namespaces, rearranging code and displaying documentation.
Code style and formatting functionality with fine-grained, language-specific settings will help you get rid of unused code and create

ReSharper Ultimate is a license that combines all individual JetBrains .NET tools, as well as ReSharper C++. Each ReSharper Ultimate license allows a single developer to use ReSharper, ReSharper C++, dotCover, dotTrace and dotMemory.
Productivity extension to Visual Studio for .NET devs
If a single developer uses Visual Studio to code both in C# (or VB.NET, or TypeScript, or other languages supported by mainline ReSharper) and in C++, they would probably want to have ReSharper help them out in both worlds.
Having familiar tools at hand helps confidently solve performance and memory consumption problems as they arise. ReSharper Ultimate includes both dotTrace and dotMemory, making them readily available when it comes to the crunch.
ReSharper Ultimate always includes a 1-year free upgrade subscription that is aligned across all included products. Upgrade to any new releases for free within a year after purchase, and optionally renew your upgrade subscription in one step.
I love ReSharper! Its tightly integrated unit testing makes it a joy to do test-driven development, its automated refactorings are nothing short of superb and its code suggestions routinely help me write better C#/VB.NET code.
The ultimate Agile tool is ReSharper. It is the one thing for .NET developers that removes fear of change. Refactoring is just so darn easy that change isn't scary.
ReSharper is an awesome tool. If you're using it you probably agree and if you aren't you should be. The productivity gains are incredible. The moment you see another developer step effortlessly through the code you'll agree.
65 of the top 100 companies in the Forbes 500 list use JetBrains ReSharper.
So do thousands of smaller companies looking for ways to improve quality of their software.

Grand Western Canal
The Grand Western Canal is an attractive stretch of isolated canal, winding its way through the soft rural landscape of Mid-Devon, enticing an abundance of local wildlife. Although the canal is wholly man-made, its plant and animal communities are mostly natural, having colonised the site as it has matured and suitable habitats have developed.
The canal plays host to a range of Bird species. Waterfowl are found along most stretches - Moorhens, Mute Swans and Mallards are a common sight. Other bird species found along the canal include the Kingfisher, which is regularly seen fishing in the water.The hedgerows and bankside vegetation provide food, shelter and a safe corridor for movement between habitats for bird species including Grey Wagtail, Reed Warbler and Sedge Warbler, and small mammals such as Bank Voles and Shrews. One of the most exciting Mammals to be found along the canal is the Otter. Evidence of their activity is being recorded regularly in the Country Park.
The canal is a mass of colour in spring and summer with an abundance of wild flowers growing along the water's edge. Look out for the Early-purple and Common-spotted Orchids in certain places and the elegant White Water-lily. The waterway is teeming with freshwater invertebrates such as Water Boatmen and Damselfly larvae.
The canal is also a hot spot for Insects, such as butterflies and dragonflies during spring, summer and early autumn, feasting on nectar and smaller insects sheltering in the vegetation. A very notable new dragonfly record for the canal was made last year with a small population of Scarce Chasers being confirmed between Ayshford Bridge and Ebear Bridge. Initially spotted by Rangers operating the weed-cutting boat, this is the first record of this dragonfly breeding in Devon.
The wildlife of the canal is vulnerable to pollution and sedimentation. In response to this we have entered into the Countryside Stewardship Scheme which will provide funding for work that will include creating buffer strips along the offside banks, resuming coppicing in the canal cuttings and restoring the hedgerows that flank the towpath. The Grand Western Canal has also become a partner in the Interreg IIIb Crosscut project, which is an EU-funded project looking into sustainable canal management. It involves work on sustainable dredging practices and working with farmers to reduce future siltation.
The Rangers, with the help of a few volunteers participate in survey work throughout the year. We have good records of the birds, butterflies and dragonflies, and much work has been done on surveying aquatic and bankside plants. We would be interested to know about any unusual or rare sightings of wildlife along the canal. Please contact the Rangers Service with your findings.
In recent years there has been concern that the Canal's White Water Lilies are declining. To better understand this problem and seek recommendations on how to arrest this decline, Dr John Eaton of the University of Liverpool (one of the country's foremost waterway ecology academics) was engaged to analyse many years of survey data from the canal and use his experience of other waterways to produce a report on the subject. Click here to read the report.
For more information about wildlife commonly found on Britain's canal's please visit the Waterscape website.
For more information on wildlife found in Mid Devon please contact Mid Devon Natural History Society.

An increasing number of people are turning to private companies for vehicle title and registration services. There are more than 160 Authorized Third Party (ATP) provider locations statewide. Millions of people already conduct business using existing MVD-operated field offices, but many have only recently discovered the third parties, which have been in existence since the mid-1990s.
For their services, Arizona law provides third parties a retention fee for some transactions. ATPs are also permitted to assess convenience charges in addition to the standard MVD fees that customers pay in the field offices and online.
MVD monitors the performance of ATP offices to ensure that, among other things, transactions are properly carried out and timely fund transfers are made to MVD. There's a potential for sanctions if a company does not meet the required standards.
View a list of list of Authorized Third Party offices.
Included with this packet are these items:
Please return the Third Party Authorization Interest form and pre-approval surety bond to Title and Registration, Driver License Partnerships at this address:
Motor Vehicle Division
P.O. Box 2100
Phoenix, AZ 85001
Once your information is received, the proposed business location will be evaluated by the program to determine the proximity to existing ATP provider locations and those that are currently in the implementation process.
The program implementation coordinator will contact you to schedule an initial visit of your proposed business location. This will consist of a general overview of your proposed operations, including the surrounding vicinity to ensure it meets MVD standards.
For the hours and locations of MVD offices along with current ATP providers, please visit MVD Hours and Locations.
If the location is acceptable, notification will be sent to the applicant, reaffirming the business plan is due within 30 days. ADOT/MVD does not charge application fees. However, a $100,000 Third Party Surety Bond preapproval is required and must be included in the business plan. The surety bond approval may be obtained through an insurance or bonding agency. Please do not purchase the bond at this early stage.
Once the proposed business plan is completed and submitted to the program, it will be reviewed internally by a panel of qualified members of ADOT/MVD. If needed, a meeting may be scheduled with the applicant to discuss their plan further, to review additional information/requirements or both.
The ATP Opening Schedule specifies a detailed timeline of the application process and its deadlines for submission. Deadlines for submission and review are strictly regulated; therefore, applicants are strongly encouraged to thoroughly review said schedule and determine how it counterparts with the proposed opening date.
The following items are minimum standards required for all ATPs to conduct business as an authorized service provider to ADOT/MVD:
The following items are a list of initial expenses affiliated with the application process. Note: This does not include general business expenses (e.g., lease, payroll, office supplies, etc.)
The following options are available for your employees to become certified to perform third-party transactions on behalf of your company. Please see Third Party Certified Processor Guidelines for further information:
If you have any questions, please contact Title and Registration, Driver License Partnerships at [email protected].

Be aware of carbon monoxide (CO) dangers while boating on Utah's waters. CO is a potentially deadly gas produced anytime a carbon-based fuel is burned, such as gasoline, propane, charcoal or oil. Utah State Parks boating rangers recommend carrying a marine CO detector on board.Â
CO is colorless, odorless, and tasteless and mixes evenly in the air. It enters the bloodstream through the lungs and displaces oxygen in the body. Do not confuse CO poisoning with seasickness, intoxication, or heat or marine stressors.Â
Sources of CO on boats include gasoline engines, generators, cooking ranges, and space and water heaters. Cold and poorly tuned engines produce more CO than warm, properly-tuned engines. Boat exhaust leaks can cause CO poisoning. These leaks can migrate throughout the boat and into enclosed areas. Regular maintenance and proper boat operation can reduce the risk of CO poisoning.
It is illegal to operate a motorboat or have the engine of a motorboat run idle while a person is occupying or holding onto the swim platform, swim deck, swim step, swim ladder or while a person is being towed in a non-standing position within 20 feet of the vessel. These restrictions do not apply when the motorboat is docking, or while persons are entering or exiting the vessel.
For more information on the dangers of CO while boating, download a copy of the CO brochure at http://static.stateparks.utah.gov/docs/CObro3.pdf.
