Sept. 6, 2013
MADISON, Wis. -- After beginning its season on the road, the Wisconsin men's soccer team returned home to a warm welcome from nearly 2,000 fans during the fifth-annual PAC the MAC on Friday at the McClimon Soccer Complex.
The Badgers made sure to make a good early impression on their faithful, earning a 3-2 win over Western Michigan that was well in hand with nearly 30 minutes left in the match.
As the sun set and the stadium lights flickered on, the Badgers came out on fire. Senior Tomislav Zadro made the most of his first few minutes on the field as he bent a set piece around the Bronco's defensive wall to the far post and passed Bronco goalkeeper Chase Rau.
Zadro's energy, along with his goal, sparked an offensive performance that would include three goals for the Badgers—a presence the team missed in 2012 as the Toronto, Ontario, native rehabilitated an ACL injury.
Although Wisconsin got out to an early lead, Western Michigan wasn't easily discouraged. The Broncos challenged the Badgers' defense for four corner kicks in the first half. The back line remained strong under pressure, though, escaping without a blemish.
Taking a 1-0 lead into the second half, Wisconsin pressured Western Michigan's defense early on.
Nick Jones gave the Badgers' student section something to cheer about in the 53rd minute as the freshman connected on an acrobatic side volley kick from 25 yards out to put his team up 2-0.
Wisconsin head coach John Trask emphasized the importance of starting the second half strong when leading at the half.
"To get the second goal means we brought the right mentality in the second half," Trask explained. "[Western Michigan is] going to come out when they're down 1-0 and really try to push the game.
"I thought we handled how they stepped up for those few minutes."
Wisconsin wasted little time in netting their next goal. Just nine minutes after Jones recorded the first goal of his college career, midfielder Drew Conner received a touch from Zadro and weaved his way around Western Michigan defenders, sniping a shot beyond the reach of Rau.
"We didn't settle for the second goal," Trask said. "We found a way to make it 3-0."
With a comfortable lead in hand, Coach Trask juggled his lineup, giving the Broncos a different look on the field and allowing a few of his non-starters to enjoy the atmosphere.
"I felt it was important on a great night like tonight with so many fans here to get a couple of our seniors on the field."
Shaken but not defeated by the three-goal deficit, Western Michigan battled back.
The Broncos scored two goals in the final ten minutes, but the Badgers held on to earn their first victory of the 2013 campaign.
"At moments we looked very good," Trask added. "That's got to be sustained over longer periods. It's a little easier when you're playing PAC the MAC at your field against a team that's given up some goals already.
"We did score three quality goals. I don't want to take anything away from the guys. I think there's a lot more in this group."
Wisconsin takes to the pitch again Sunday at 2:30 p.m. CT at the McClimon Soccer Complex as they welcome DePaul for a non-conference matchup.

5 Simple Ways You Can Rebuild Credit after Bankruptcy
April 20, 2012
Author: Allison K.Watkins
After bankruptcy, it is very important that you revive your credit score and manage your finances effectively. When you file for bankruptcy, you will be free of your debts immediately and you will not be pestered by your creditors. You should then make sure that you do not get into debts again and should work towards rebuilding your credit.
Ways to Rebuild Credit Score after Bankruptcy
If you have filed for bankruptcy, it will be seen in your credit report for about 7-10 years till you revive your credit score. It will be removed if you are able to improve your credit rating before the bad credit records expire.
Some simple ways to rebuild your credit score after bankruptcy are:
- Understand your credit status and evaluate your current credit report standing. You can get three credit reports from three national credit bureaus like Equifax, Trans Union and Experian. You need to then review each report and analyze your financial situation. You can also seek help from an expert in the field and analyze the details in the credit report and check for any inaccuracies which are affecting your credit scores.
- Though the bad credit details or bankruptcy details remains in the report for about seven to ten years, you should be sure of the expiry date for each of these three reports. Check on the exact date of the various bad credit records like late payments, filing of bankruptcy, judgments, liens and collection records. You can effectively rebuild your credit score when you see these bad records disappearing from the report.
- Evaluate your credit report carefully to check on any mistakes or inaccurate records, frauds or just to check if the records have not expired. In such a case, you can send a dispute letter to the various credit reporting agencies to rectify the errors. They will then conduct an investigation and check whether your request is valid and genuine.
- As you have already filed for bankruptcy and your poor credit scores are in the credit report, the next step is to work towards rebuilding your credit rating and improving your scores. For this, you can open a new credit card from banks which cater to the needs of people who have filed for bankruptcy and are trying to revive their credits. This new credit card should be used wisely and effectively by making payments on time and without defaulting. This will help you to improve your credit scores. You can even, over a period of time, apply for loans which can improve your scores further.
- Once you have started rebuilding your credit scores, you should use a charge card monitoring program or software to check your performance. It will calculate and check your credit score progress effectively. You should work towards improving your credit score at a steady pace by using your credit responsibly and including good credit scores in the credit reports.
Filing for bankruptcy does not mean that you have to live with the drudgery throughout your life. You should take it as a challenge and try to overcome it by improving your scores steadily and rebuilding your credit.
One Response to "5 Simple Ways You Can Rebuild Credit after Bankruptcy"
Filing bankruptcy surely leaves a bad mark on your credit card. But it also gives you a fresh start. You may not get loans for few next years. But timely payments and keeping your card clean will head you back in a winning situation sooner than you thought. You can start with secured credit card with local credit union or bank.

McDonald's leverages new insights
27 January 2014
LONDON: European and American customers of McDonald's, the world's largest fast-food chain, are likely to see changes to its marketing strategy and restaurant formats in 2014, the company has indicated.
After reporting less-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings of $1.4bn, McDonald's chief executive Don Thompson
told Marketing Week
and other publications that its marketing strategy this year will rely more on improved insights, innovation and value-for-money messaging.
He said the restaurant chain needed to become more "relevant" for its customer base and improvements to its menu and store layout are aimed at reinvigorating that relationship.
Its marketing strategy in 2014 will aim to balance affordability with core products, new choices and limited time offers, he said.
Peter Bensen, chief financial officer at McDonald's, echoed this view, explaining that the company is "leveraging consumer insights to better understand how we can deliver on evolving consumer needs".
"This includes enhancing our value-based messaging and re-engaging with customers in more compelling ways from our marketing and promotions to the order points that are restaurants," he added.
Sales in the UK and the rest of Europe were better than in other markets, rising by 1% over the quarter,
the BBC reported
As McDonald's has been concentrating on value enhancements in Europe, it hopes to match that success in other struggling markets and it said it aimed to promote the brand as a kitchen/restaurant that cooks and prepares high-quality food.
Future campaigns, for example, might emphasise its ability to prepare customised sandwiches.

It all started with a poem, and a hunt for buried treasure. It was about a year ago that I learned that my little sister Clair had become, well… a bit obsessed with the idea that she knew where a by-now well-known Santa Fe artist and entrepreneur, named Forrest Fenn, had hidden a treasure rumored to be worth $1- $2 million.
Fenn, an eccentric and colorful character, who spent summers as a kid in the northern Rockies, had decided that Americans just aren't spending enough time outdoors, like they used to. So he figured if he hid a treasure out in the western wilds, and left clues to its location, it just might lure Americans away from their electronic entertainments.
He wrote a clue-laden poem and even a book of short, humorous stories, that were supposed to contain all the requisite bread crumbs to lead a clever reader to his million-dollar stash. His efforts struck a chord with tens of thousands of Americans, who have been searching from Montana to New Mexico for the past three years now, so far without anyone announcing success.
My sister had spent months poring over every sentence that Fenn had written. She eventually narrowed her search to a canyon in southwestern Montana, where all the clues seemed to align. She had gone beyond Fenn's own words and researched old mining claims and century-old surveyor's notes from the area, looking for additional clues, which only seemed to confirm her belief that she was on to something.
She had visited the spot a couple times, without success, but had developed new ideas over the winter and wanted her siblings to join her this spring for a renewed search. To me, it was a lark, but I had always wanted to take my son Max out to the northern Rockies to hike in mountains. When I was a kid, our family would pack up the car every summer and head west, usually to Glacier, but the time constraints of owning our own business had made summer vacations a luxury before now. A treasure hunt seemed the perfect excuse to make an exception.
When Max jumped at the idea, we agreed to rendezvous in early June with my sister, my brother Zac, who lives outside of Taos, and even my mother and her husband, who live in Grand Rapids. It was a regular family reunion, something we hadn't done in years.
To Max and me, it was a fun vacation at the start of an otherwise busy summer. To my sister, who calls Colorado home but works the western oil fields as an itinerant truck driver, it was more serious business. She's an artist at heart, but got into driving a water truck at the start of the fracking boom. It's a tough life— she more or less lives in her Carharts and sleeps in trailers stuck out on the prairie much of the time. She's worked the gas fields in Colorado, oil fields in Texas, but most often she's found herself forced to work the Bakken in western North Dakota. She hates it, of course. The wind is bitter in winter, accommodations are lousy, entertainments few, and she knows she's exposed to toxic chemicals on a regular basis. And there are an awful lot of unattached males out there, and a pretty, petite woman gets too much attention.
For her, finding the treasure was a way to escape all that.
We spent our first full day in Montana down in the canyon, searching through old mining ruins along a roaring stream for clues or, better yet, a treasure chest. The wildflowers were amazing, and we saw elk and deer, but no treasure. It didn't take long to figure out that even if we were in the right canyon, we were still looking for a needle in a haystack. "Your odds would be better playing the Powerball," I told my sister.
By the next day, my sister seemed to have accepted, treasure or not, that her search was over. She spent an hour on the phone making arrangements. When our visit was concluded a few days later, she would be heading to Williston.
We spent the rest of our time hiking in and around Yellowstone National Park, which was located just a few miles south of the national forest campground where we stayed.
Yellowstone is amazing this time of year— it was 100 shades of green, broken only by wildflowers and wildlife. The crowds of midsummer hadn't yet arrived, so we had hiking trails more or less to ourselves. One morning we visited the Lamar Valley in the northeastern portion of the park, and saw thousands of bison and big herds of elk and pronghorn, along with marmots, bighorn sheep, and even a grizzly bear, from a comfortable distance.
But we found perhaps the most interesting wildlife viewing right in the small rustic campground where we stayed for five nights. Both elk and bison regularly came to the campground to graze, and a trio of big bulls we dubbed the "Three Amigos" would spend hours at a time there, grazing, dust bathing, but mostly just placidly chewing their cud. One of their favorite dusting spots was not just within the campground, it was part of our campsite and we would sit and watch from 25 feet away as they'd roll in the dirt, then stand up and shake, sometimes sending a cloud of dust and clumps of their shedding winter coats right in our faces. Seeing these enormous animals so close was a bit unsettling at first, but it was clear they weren't afraid of us, so we decided not to be too afraid of them. Which is not to say we were going to walk up and slap them on the rear end. We generally tried to keep at least the picnic table between us.
We had campfires every morning and evening, and talked and laughed as we reminisced about growing up together, and pondering the widely divergent paths we had taken in life.
As I thought about it, I had to hand it to Forrest Fenn. While my sister was disappointed in not finding his stash, I couldn't help but think of the value of our time together in such a place. It was Max's first real road trip, and his first visit to this remarkable part of the country— and I got to be there for it all. What's not to treasure?
This story reminds me of our trip to the Canadian Rockies in June 1982. We began our trip through Kenora, on to Winnipeg and Birds Hill Provincial Park, then to Riding Mountain National Park. Then we passed through Saskatchewan and northern Alberta. We entered Jasper National Park. Wow, what a treat. We camped the whole way in the back of the pickup, and the elk came to eat the dog food from their dishes in the evening. We visited the Athabasca Glacier, Lake Louise (and Chateau Lake Louise), Banff National Park (and the Banff Springs Hotel). We then traveled south to Watertown Lakes National Park, where the elk again visited us in the evening. And then it was on to Glacier National Park. Experiences in U.S. National Parks isn't the same as the Canadian Parks. Too much restrictions and rules! Moving east we visited the Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park south of Butte and old Virginia City. After a couple days we passed through the Badlands of North Dakota.
A few years later, I took the Amtrak from Duluth to Spokane. Now this is a real treat. You get to see Americana from the backside. Wildlife galore, pass through Glacier. Outstanding.
I recommend anyone with time on their hands to take the same route. It is a trip of a lifetime and remember to take your camera.
If someone is reading this post and it piqued their interest. If you have deep pockets, you can take a room at the Banff Springs and Chateau Lake Louise (both built by the Canadian Pacific Railroad) or the Prince of Wales Hotel (built by the Great Northern Railroad) at Waterton Lakes NP. All are extraordinarily beautiful and a throw back to the past. It won't be the same as Marshall and Max camping out, but as some of us get older we need a place for the old bones to rest. You can still hike in the mountains, sit in the hot springs and take a tram up to the top of the mountain. Once there, you will think this is about as close to God as you can get. Great story Marshall. It triggered happier events in my past.
Grizzlies use to be seen along the railroad tracks by Glacier quite frequently.
There used to be grizzlies in the natural ore wash plants on the Iron Range. They were of a vibrating nature and separated large ore from the fines. You could see them from the loading pocket.

Lost season four might be one hour longer
There could be an upside to the Lost hiatus after all. On Wednesday afternoon, TV Guide's Michael Ausiello reported that Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse are in "advanced talks" with ABC about adding another hour-long chapter to Lost Season Four. The arrangement is by no means set in stone, but it is encouraging news.
No word yet on how this extra hour might be added to the season's remaining five episodes. We could get another episode, or the finale could be an additional hour. Would a three-hour season finale be too much, even for Lost viewers? How will this affect the scheduling of the two-hour season finale? Currently, the season's last episode is split into two installments that will air one week apart. Will there be room for this bonus episode now that Lost is sharing Thursday nights with Grey's Anatomy and Ugly Betty?
I'm interpreting this rumor as a good sign. Lindelof and Cuse wouldn't ask for another hour unless there was a significant part of the season's story left to tell. They already had to compress a sixteen-episode season into thirteen episodes; perhaps that wasn't enough to do the season justice. So much has been happening this season: the return of the Michael, the arrival of the Freighties, and all of the flash-forward storytelling. I doubt that this extra episode would contain any filler. I just hope that the new chapter flows well with the other storylines and doesn't feel tacked on.
What's your take on this rumor? Would you welcome a fourteenth episode?

Poverty rate of families with one member in the labor force
November 03, 2004
The poverty rate for all families with only one member in the labor force was 12.5 percent in 2002.
For families with one member in the labor force for 27 weeks or more, married-couple families had a lower incidence of poverty (8.1 percent) than did either families maintained by single women (21.5 percent) or families maintained by men with no spouse present (11.8 percent). This was true regardless of which member of the married-couple family was in the labor force.
The poverty threshold for families reflects both the total family income and the number of family members. The more workers a family has, the higher its income is likely to be and, therefore, the less likely the family is to be living below the poverty line. For example, only 0.8 percent of families with three or more members in the labor force for 27 weeks or more and 2.0 percent of families with two such labor force participants were among the working poor in 2002.
These data were collected in the 2003 Annual Social and Economic Supplement to the Current Population Survey. For more information see A Profile of the Working Poor, 2002, Report 976 (PDF 105K).

What 'Highly Trained and Certified' Professors Don't Want You to Know
A new report grades universities on what they actually teach their students — and professors don't like it one bit.
September 8, 2009 - 12:00 am
One of the "controversial professors" Steward cites is Ward Churchill. Appropriately, ACTA published a booklet called How Many Ward Churchills?
Of course, most professors do not go so far as to call the 9/11 victims "little Eichmanns." Instead, they use postmodern jargon to convey their contempt for bourgeois Americans. One fellow instructor at the University of Georgia a couple of days after that fateful day told me that he had provided historical context for his freshman composition students with descriptions of assaults against Muslims by the West from the Crusades and on. This was not an unusual way to provide context to college freshmen about the "tragic" day.
Another enemy of Steward is David Horowitz because of his "so-called Academic Bill of Rights," which "purports to ensure ideological balance on university faculties by stripping the faculty of the right to choose whom to hire based solely on the person's professional qualifications and the institution's educational goals." Were hiring decisions really based on "professional qualifications," we would not face politically lopsided faculties; surveys consistently show at best a ten percent representation of conservatives or Republicans in the humanities.
Of course, in Steward and company's estimation, their own work is entirely intellectual — having declared themselves "experts" who teach from a completely objective position. Accusing ACTA of "guilt by association" for suggesting that Churchill "represents faculty members' lack of rigor," Steward takes the organization to task for not visiting the classrooms and for "having no one on staff with expertise in native studies." But he also considers the purview of "highly trained and certified experts" to lie in "social injustice, domestic violence, monolingualism, white power, jingoism, xenophobia, male supremacy, slavery, racism, poverty, homophobia, misogyny, orientalism, genocide, spread-eagle foreign policy, and third world exploitation."
Steward gives away his ideology also in another sentence where he justifies the study of racism: "Scholars in the humanities and social sciences do not promote, for example, the beliefs of racism in their courses, because their professional study of the subject matter, to which they dedicate their lives, has led them to conclude that racism is a set of human values and practices worthy of opposition." Fair enough, I say, as do all the other conservatives I know (although we do not take credit for "dedicating our lives" and instead give due to those who do — soldiers). Steward goes on to say that students studying The Tempest "need to know something about colonialism's history."
The student will get the ideological left-wing perspective from his textbooks. He will not get from Steward and his like-minded colleagues any mention about such things as African slavery or warfare between Native American tribes, or anything about the American founders that have given them the freedoms they enjoy and abuse.
Indeed, Steward's pompous invective illustrates the American founders' wisdom in recognizing the need for the separation of powers. It is in desperate need in the academy, which is ruled by ideological totalitarians who cover their intellectual vacuity with bombast.
Too many still accept academic titles as evidence of expertise. Do not be fooled. These are the people who have argued for replacing Latin with Spanish and sign language, for eliminating Old and Middle English, for replacing Shakespeare with multicultural "texts" written at the fifth-grade level, for teaching children's books as literature, and for instituting "cultural studies."
In fact, these are the people arguing for eliminating writing itself. They teach film, video gaming, and graphic novels (essentially comic books). In fact, one of the contributors to MLA's Profession 2008 is Marjorie Garber, whose academic title says it all: "William R. Kenan, Jr., Professor of English and Visual and Environmental Studies and director of the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts at Harvard University."
ACTA's report is a start. Those who care about education and the future should be concerned with what colleges require of their students. While its assignment of a "B" to my alma mater UGA is good for noting the requirement of freshman composition that presumably advances written papers (not something to be taken for granted today), it cannot go into what individual instructors and graduate students teach. I have been privy to those conversations where 23-year-old graduate students openly describe their efforts to divest the "little kiddies" of the religious and patriotic beliefs they bring with them from their small towns in Georgia. I've also been to professional conferences where panelists distribute sample syllabi that illustrate how to make freshman composition focus on Latino studies and how to use the classroom for social justice "activism." Textbooks that I have been required to use in the public colleges in Georgia have in so many ways distorted history and promoted leftist ideology.
As important is what is left out, and that includes a factual presentation of the numbers killed under the ideologies these professors promote and the fact that our founders, for all their common human failings, pledged their "lives and sacred honor" to establishing a republic that recognized the truly radical notion that rights emanate from God. Unlike the professors, they did not assign themselves a special "expertise" in "human values." Instead, they saw their fellow man as created equal and endowed by God with the power of reason.
That, I think, is the real reason these professors would like to wipe out organizations like ACTA that promote the idea that it is necessary to teach such history.

I still like to climb trees, squish my toes in mud, splash my feet in the ocean, ride roller coasters, giggle over puns & word play, & play with other people's pets. I wear bright colors & play dress-up. I frequently change the length & color of my hair. I have friends of all ages, genders, sexual preferences, religious affiliations, & nationalities. I talk to strangers in elevators & grocery lines. I know when & how to give a sincere apology or compliment. I'm curious & invent theories. People's life stories fascinate me. I look people in the eye when they're talking & really listen to what they say. I am genuinely interested in them & their well-being. I give new people, situations, places, philosophies, & foods a chance. I want the impact that I leave on the planet to be measured by kind acts, volunteer work, creative & intelligent output, not having the most or best toys. My spending habits fall between cheap & generous. I alternate between tidy and messy. I drive an energy-efficient car & recycle. I enjoy tending my small balcony garden of colorful plants & flowers. I'm a non-moralizing vegetarian. I've never weighed more than 132 pounds. For fun, I go to outdoor art shows & concerts, galleries, museums, movies, plays, beaches, bowling alleys, batting cages, flea markets & malls; do things with friends; surf the Internet; intend to do more leisure travel. I'm interested but not trained in the metaphysical--Reiki, astrology, etc. I was born in Florida, but live here now because that's where my dad is. I thrive on high stimulation without high risk. What do I consider high risk? Extreme sports, motorcycles, drugs, excessive drinking, smoking, gambling. What am I looking for? Me in male--someone who is growing & tries hard, a loving relationship where we inspire each other to reach our potential. Photos are from 12/06. Note: hair is now black/burgundy & I wear funky glasses. Am leaving here soon.

Senoia Raceway
Rain halts events for 2nd time
Senoia Raceway's weekly schedule was canceled due to the wet conditions at the speedway on Saturday, as Mother Nature rained out part or all of races for the second consecutive week.
The track has rescheduled the Twin 20's for the Jodeco Auto Sales Late Models for this Saturday as part of the Memorial Day Sparktacular weekend.
The double features for the Jodeco Auto Sales Late Models will each pay $750 to win. The makeup feature with the expanded purse for the Bombers has also been rescheduled for this week.
The Newnan Bonding B Cadets, Summit Racing Equipment Hobby Stocks, Mini Stocks and Modified Mini will compete in heats and features. Senoia Raceway will also entertain fans and drivers with a special holiday weekend fireworks display following the night's feature racing.
Hall of fame driver Mike Head has also rescheduled his appearance and rides in his two-seater late model to Saturday, May 25th. The former Senoia Raceway champion and one of the winningest drivers in dirt late model history, Head will offer fans the opportunity to ride with him for three laps around the speedway for only $50 per ride.
"It is always a tough decision to cancel events," said promoter Tim Moses. "But, the grounds are saturated and the rain continues to start and stop. Next weekend will be a big night for both the fans and the drivers. Let's pray mother nature gives a favorable weekend."
Ticket prices remain the same this week. Grandstand tickets will remain at $12 with children 6-12 admitted for $5. Pit passes are $25 for adults and $12 for children three through twelve. Trackside parking is available on a first come, first serve basis and includes admission into the pit area.
The pit gates open at 5 p.m., and grandstands at 6. Hot laps will roll off at 7:30, with racing set to go green around 8.

XP Pro Bypass or Reset Logon Password NO CDROM/Floppy
Hi Everyone, ok so i ve spent some time but maybe not enough to try and find a soloution on other treads about how to Reset, or Bypass the Logon Passwords for a Laptop that doesnt have a CDrom or Floppy Disk Drive.
I purchased some laptops from a company that went bankrupt and left them at my office for my new sales staff. But when I got back to my office after my vacation my staff told me that they couldnt get in since the previous company had logon passwords. We tried to log on and tried several things but cant seem to get past them.
We would like Hack pass these passwords or reset them to and then register these computers as our company's. I have tried to contact the previous company to see if they can put me in touch with the administrator but I am not counting on that since they went bankrupt and I am having trouble even contacting anyone.
So basically can anyone point me to a program or something that can be loaded by memstick during the boot up process that (preferably free without have to pay as I have seen a 1 or 2 out there) can allow me to get the passwords or reset them?
Thank you

Re: XP Pro Bypass or Reset Logon Password NO CDROM/Floppy
If they were purchased as you say then the best bet would probably be to have someone reinstall the Operating System, primarily to remove previous data that should no longer be needed. Honestly, I can't believe they sold a computer with their data still on it so that makes it a little suspicious.
If it were me, I would reinstall the OS, if I didn't have a disc or a CD-ROM drive then I would try to find an external drive to use. There are ways to bypass the login however we're not going to assist anyone in cracking windows passwords no matter what the situation is.
If you would like to keep everything as is, the only option without reinstalling the OS would be to keep trying to contact the previous owners.

Re: XP Pro Bypass or Reset Logon Password NO CDROM/Floppy
Odd that the PC's have no CD drives As stated above, your best bet is to reload the Windows clean, meaning you'd format the drive. This is a good idea for numerous reasons: you'd be saving disk space by wiping out any previous data and programs, you'd also completely eliminate the chance of any viruses or other malware causing problems and jumping into your office (or home) network. Without a CD drive, this is a bit tricky, but it can be done. If you can get your hands on an external CD/DVD drive, it would be easier, but you can install Windows from a USB thumb drive as long as the BIOS supports booting from the USB port. Take a look here > http://articles.techrepublic.com.com...1-6160062.html There are several other sites out there with similar info, but this one looked like the easiest to understand.... you'll need a 1gb or 2gb thumb drive and a working PC with a USB port (duh!) and an XP CD and valid product key.
Re: XP Pro Bypass or Reset Logon Password NO CDROM/Floppy
Hi Guys, thanks for the feedback and yeah I understand what you are saying. The Portage R 100 by Toshiba dont come with CDroms. I have to use an external one. I bought the computers from the guys from an entreprenure group that well...went bankrupt after 2 years of business but posted about their situation and were trying to get rid of assets to pay their bills. I had met one of the partners a few years back at a meet so he contacted me to see if could help him out. I liked the idea adn the price was right. He said that most of their info had been deleted already so just ready to plug and play. Well not quiet since I didnt get the passwords and now for the life of me I am having trouble getting in touch with any of the 3 partners to find out who was their IT guy who set up their pcs. All in all there were 10laptops they wanted to part with, i only picked up 3 since I coudl give them to my sales staff.
Anyway we ran into another problem. 2 of them have BIOS passwords. SHIZZ!! so it means I have been spending my evenings looking into how to find backdoors or how to disconnect and re connect the BIOS battery. however battery way has not worked even after leaving it off for 8 hours to discharge. Not sure. The last one is ok and its just the windows. my company is smaller then the guys I bought from so I have only run XP home and only my computer has XP pro. These computers came with XP pro but we didnt get the disks. SO thats another challenge. I dont mind reinstalling everything and formating but I dont have the CDs that have the drivers and what not but I am sure thats not such a big deal i can re install windows if I have the disk sinces they all have their original Keys seals on the back of the laptops, so now its just how to get past the BIOS and then for the Logon Passwords, screw it if I have to and reinstall Windows again. I just thougth their might be a faster way around all of this and just get my guys working. Its Sat today and I am in the office doing all this IT stuff so hopefully they can use it by monday.
Re: XP Pro Bypass or Reset Logon Password NO CDROM/Floppy
You might be able to contact Toshiba, give them the name of the company you purchased the laptops from, so they can check the regisrty records and also the serial numbers. They might be able to help you out.

In the midst of Vancouver's senseless riot, a moment of tenderness. {Now with Video}
Father: "hows [sic] that for making love not war?"
Click here for the back story of the photo-gone-viral that seems to symbolize the ability of humans to love even right between hate vs. hate:
"They were between the riot police and the rioters, and the riot police were actually charging forward, and Alex got knocked by a [police] shield and fell to the ground," he told CBC News. "[Scott] was comforting her and gave her a kiss to say, 'It's going to be OK,' and the photographer just took the shot at that moment."
Update: it's far less romantic than might have seemed—they were beat to ground by shields.

Beautiful. So Beautiful…
there is good news arising from the riots.
make love, not war
Not as innocent as they are claiming, they were part of the riot, didn't clear out when asked. Anybody with a lick of sense had left already. No sympathy here. Vancouverites… the TRUE lovers of Vancouver have banded together to clean up the damage that was done by those with no respect for other's property and what a wonderful gift had been provided to the city with the big screens etc.
Drama queen

What a wonderful metaphor. Joseph Campbell is probably smiling in his grave.

Download full report [PDF]
This new report from the ASPCA provides evidence that the chicken industry's focus on genetic selection for fast growth and efficiency is contributing to widespread suffering among the nearly nine billion chickens raised for meat each year in this country, and may also be putting consumers at greater risk of foodborne illness.
United States, 2014
In an age when the horrors of factory farming are becoming more well-known, few might be surprised that factory farmed chickens raised for meat live miserable lives in horrendous conditions. But less well-known is the fact that the core problem for these birds starts long before they are even born: in effect, they are bred to suffer.
Most of today's chickens are selectively bred to grow so large, so fast—300% faster than those in 1960—and so disproportionately breast-heavy, that many struggle to move or even stand up. Often collapsed in their wet litter, many chickens develop open sores and wounds on their skin, which can act as gateways to infection. Farms routinely feed birds preventative antibiotics in order to prop up their weakened immune systems, creating a vicious cycle that perpetuates substandard conditions and raises significant questions about the implications for human health.
There is a better way. The time has come to reform these breeding practices so that chickens grow at a more natural, comfortable rate in more humane surroundings. It is the least we can do for these chickens—and for ourselves.

Yr Ieuan Ap Iago has been recognised at the 2013 Rhondda Cynon Taf Best Bar None awards.
The Aberdare pub was named as area winner for Cynon, by the county-borough council- run initiative, and also received accreditation.
The scheme, a collaboration between Rhondda Cynon Taf Council, South Wales Police and the local licensed trade, actively promotes a safer, more secure environment in which to socialise.
Rhondda Cynon Taf became the first county borough in Wales to adopt the Best Bar None awards scheme, in 2006, and it has fast become a celebrated example of best practice.
The aim is to ensure that everyone can enjoy a great night out in the local licensed venues, reassured and attracted by the fact that they are responsibly and safely run and operated.
Mark Miller, Wetherspoon's area manager, said: "Well done to pub manager Lewis Howells. This is a really great award for him and his team at Yr Ieuan Ap Iago."
Lewis is pictured with team leaders Tasha James (left) and Hannah Bradwick, proudly showing off the awards.

Panetta's Empty Promise
The CIA won't be able to pay its operatives' legal costs.
Sep 14, 2009, Vol. 14, No. 48 • By JENNIFER RUBIN
A former Justice Department attorney dubs this a "head scratcher," wondering where Panetta gets his authority and whether the Justice Department won't find such payments unauthorized, and, indeed, illegal. Given the fact that "DOJ jealously guards its role as the gatekeeper of federal litigation," we may, he suggests, be heading for another CIA-DOJ clash. The CIA, however, thinks this is none of the Justice Department's business. A U.S. intelligence officer says, "It's my understanding that DOJ only has to approve of reimbursement for legal expenses when they are the ones paying for it."
In fact, there is considerable doubt whether, if the Justice Department refuses reimbursement, the CIA can step in to pay the agents' legal bills. It has been the Civil Division of the Justice Department's historical purview, not individual agencies', to decide such issues. In particular, the division's Torts Branch decides if a government employee was acting in his official capacity, and if affording representation is "in the best interests" of the U.S. government. And former Justice attorneys find it inconceivable that one division of the Justice Department would authorize payment of defense counsel fighting off another division's investigation.
On April 16, when Holder released the enhanced interrogation memos over the CIA's objections, the Justice Department issued a statement which read, in part: "To the extent permissible under federal law, the government will also indemnify any employee for any monetary judgment or penalty ultimately imposed against him for such conduct and will provide representation in congressional investigations."
But the language refers only to congressional investigations. A congressional staffer with knowledge of the issue, though, speculates that Panetta is attempting to prevent Holder from "weaseling out" of an apparent offer of legal protection. He thinks Panetta is making a political rather than legal calculation: "Is Eric Holder--who already went back on his word, actually the president's word, to look forward and not backward--going to leave case officers already twisting in the wind without representation?"
The Justice Department did not respond to repeated inquiries regarding the legal authority to reimburse CIA operatives' legal expenses.
It is not surprising, therefore, that Dick Cheney and former high-ranking Justice Department officials are flummoxed by Panetta's statements. Asked in a Fox News interview about the promise to pay the agents' lawyers Cheney responded, "Well, that will be a new proposition. Always before, when we have had these criminal investigations, the fact is that the employees themselves had to pay for it."
There is of course a solution to this dilemma. The toniest Washington D.C. law firms (including Holder's at the time) lined up to provide pro bono legal services to terrorists detained at Guantánamo. If these same firms would step forward to provide free legal help to CIA case officers the entire issue might be moot.
Meanwhile, CIA employees face a Justice Department inquest and are "lawyering up"--while being far from certain that they can rely on Panetta's promise that they will not go broke in the process.

Re: IDW Star Trek Ongoing...
This is my first time trying the spoiler feature, so please forgive me if I mess it up:
The issue begins with Scotty and McCoy musing on the idea of multiple universes which cuts to the "nuMirror-verse" and the rest of the issue is devoted solely to the mirror nuTrek cast's adventure, a story very reminiscent of the ENT episode In A Mirror Darkly both in style (no nuTrek characters involved in the proceedings) and content (the theft of a ship from a different universe -- in this case, Nero's mining vessel). Definitely a "nu" take on the mirror universe with some nicely redesigned mirror-verse uniforms. Oh, and Gorkon drops by for an appearance. Can't wait to see where the story goes in part two!

Background Information
Background Information
For those visiting Oregon wine country for the first time, we thought it helpful to provide background information on what to expect. Thanks to highly acclaimed wines produced here, our wine region is considered one of the world's best, though production only started in the 1970's and its official appellation was in 1984. Oregon wines are highly acclaimed by Wine Spectator, averaging 90+ ratings consistently year after year.
With approximately 545 Oregon wineries (200+ in Willamette Valley), this $3B industry is the third largest in the state, has created 13,500 jobs and production in 2012 reached 50,176 tons. The valley's fertile hills and two mountain ranges along with a cool climate are ideal conditions to produce Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Syrah and Chardonnay. The Willamette Valley "the heart of the wine country" (150 miles long/60 miles wide) is often compared to France's Burgundy region for its beautiful topography and climate. It produces 73% of the state's production, with 48% dedicated to the Pinot Noir flagship grape.
With 12,000 grape growing acres, the Valley is also home to hiking trails, bike paths, farmers markets and covered bridges. The indigenous volcanic clay soil is known as jory, thus the name of our signature restaurant. Our wine industry is certainly different from our neighboring states. This being Oregon, the art of winemaking is still based on agriculture...not a lifestyle. Approximately 50% of the wineries have tasting rooms. Most that do are informal, friendly and offer good value. A typical production is between 2,000 to 5,000 cases.
However, don't let the size and casualness fool you. These stewards of the land take their jobs seriously; independent spirits and winemaker passions shining through in every bottle. It remains a family enterprise, with legacies now being handed down to the next generation.
Oregon, a "green state" boasts many eco-friendly vineyards and JORY's wine list is coded accordingly; bio-dynamic, organic, sustainable. Our mission is to introduce and educate guests and locals to a vast collection of wine growing regions, while showcasing Oregon's best.
During most months, we host a complimentary Thursday Celebrity Wine-Tender Tasting from 6:30 –7:30 pm in our Living Room. Lodging guests and locals alike gather in an informal setting and listen to the stories behind the vintners and how their wines differ by comparison. (Visit our calendar for showcased wineries).
You may have favorites, but we offer the opportunity to customize an itinerary by personally combining your "wish list" with unfamiliar wines definitely worth the visit. While many wineries do not have official tasting rooms, our concierge staff will make an effort to schedule personal appointments. Most guests purchase wines during their stay, but due to airline regulations, cannot bring bottles aboard. Dependent on the resident state, we arrange shipments with a local business, if laws permit.
Traditionally, the Valley promotes tasting season from Memorial Day through Thanksgiving weekends. This designated period has visitors enjoying Open Houses not otherwise available to the public. For further information, please visit www.willamettewines.com. We recommend viewing this website to better familiarize yourself with the neighboring towns and wineries. Our concierge staff can also suggest nearby restaurants or perhaps order a picnic lunch from JORY to dine alfresco along your bucolic sojourn.
Highlights from our award-winning wine list:
- Extensive wines-by-the-glass selection, taste either by l/2 glass or 5 ounces
- Good selection of half bottles
- Large selection of Champagne & Sparkling wines
- Creative flights (3 or 4 tastings) in categories; Pinot Gris, Pinot Noirs, Northwest Pinot Noirs, A Trip Around the World, Chardonnays
- Selections from California, France, Italy, Spain, Argentina, Chile, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia
- Large format bottles for special occasions or large gatherings
Note: Corkage fee $25 per bottle (maximum 2 bottles per party), applied to wines not purchased directly from JORY.

Cuneiform Collection – SMM 10
For transliteration, translations, and discussions on the individual texts, click on the links below.
Click on picture for larger view
In format and content this receipt is very much like SMM 3, which was written eleven years earlier, each of these two tablets records a single delivery of six ovines and one caprid within the royal cattle bureau at Puzrish-Dagan, and on both tablets the total number of animals delivered is written on the left edge (the goat is lumped together with the sheep, as was commonly done, thus "7 sheep" in SMM 10). However, while SMM 3 records the receipt of live animals, SMM 10 records the receipt of slaughtered ones – probably destined for the kitchen – and uses a different verb. Also, an additional "controlling" functionary is involved in SMM 10, reflecting a development in administrative procedure over time.
The three individuals named in SMM 10 were members of the administrative staff of Puzrish-Dagan, and all three are attested together in other tablets, performing exactly the same functions.* Urkununna, the official who delivered the animals in this record, had a long career at Puzrish-Dagan, from the last years of Shulgi's reign to the early years of Ibbi-Suen's reign.**

The Helper City Council has scheduled a special work meeting Thursday at 7 p.m. in the council room at the Civic Auditorium.
The city is reviewing its various rate structures for municipal services to address an impending shortfall of about $200,000 in its budget.
Maintenance expenses on the city's aging infrastructure coupled with a decrease in sales tax revenue have taken a toll on the budget, and the city has said it has almost no options for reducing spending any further.

Big changes are going into effect for drivers in the State of Texas.
As of September 1, 2011, existing 65 mile-per-hour night and truck speed limits will be bumped to 70 mph.
All signs with the night and truck speed limits should be removed by the end of this year and citizens are asked to abide by the posted limit of 70mph.
Borger ISD has a budget in place for the upcoming 2011-12 fiscal year.
The new budget, approved by the BISD board of trustees during a special meeting Tuesday evening, represents $21,617,734 in revenue and $21,808,693 in expenditures. The difference in revenue and expenditures is $190,959.
Chance Welch, superintendent for Borger ISD, said as the district closes out its 2010-11 budget, it is pleased that it balanced a budget that began with a $550,000 deficit.
Borger ISD has a new school bus! The bus was purchased with funds awarded from High Plains Resource Conservation and Development. Showing off the new bus are BISD Director of Transportation Kenneth Coleman, BISD Superintendent Chance Welch, BISD Business Manager Faye Hooper, and Borger Chamber of Commerce CEO Beverly Benton.
On August 18th the Borger Economic Development Corporation agreed to provide funds which will be used to move pipelines from an area of land being considered for the future home of a Wal-Mart Super Center.
The EDC Board of Directors approved providing around $250,000 to assist DCP Midstream and local businessman Odis McCellan in rerouting pipeline around a section of land located near the new hospital site between Highway 136 and Carbon Road.
Hutchinson County was awarded a grant worth $16,098 from the Department of Justice.
According to U.S Senator John Cornyn, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, this grant will help prevent crime based on local needs and conditions.
At a Hutchinson County Commissioner's Court meeting in July, Chief Deputy James Qualls spoke on behalf of the Hutchinson County Sheriff's Office and requested permission to apply for the Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) totaling around $16,000.
The time is quickly approaching for the annual Borger Chamber of Commerce kickoff breakfast.
The breakfast will be held at Dake's from 7-8 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 8. The serving line for the full traditional breakfast will begin at 6:45 a.m.
RSVP is required for everyone who plans on attending, and all RSVPs are due to the chamber by Friday, Sept. 2. The cost of the breakfast is $10, and is payable at the door.
Attendance at the breakfast will qualify citizens for a $50 drawing, and the latest Borger Bulldog gear will also be given away as door prizes.
Stinnett resident Kelly Tull, an eight-year employee of the Canadian River Municipal Water Authority, is using her business resources to save the Sanford Post Office from closure.
Tull said, "I use this post office here because I'm here during my post office's work hours, so in my opinion this is my post office. From a business standpoint, it's going to cripple the way we do our day-to-day operation, as far as mailing and receiving mail if this post office were to close.
The Borger Chamber of Commerce is about to kick off its 24th year of the Leadership Borger program. The program will begin Sept. 21, 2011.
The program is a one-day per month intensive look at the Borger community and Hutchinson County and an opportunity to gain knowledge to enhance participants' existing leadership skills.
The program will conclude in April of 2012 with graduation planned at the annual Chamber of Commerce banquet, which will take place in March or April.
Leadership Borger is designed to feature the following:
Teddy Buckland owns several handicap motor vehicles. One in particular is his 1977 Honda automatic motorcycle.
Teddy has owned this custom made bike for two and a half years. His friend Leslie George originally made the sidecar.
Teddy rebuilt the entire bike by placing the pre-made sidecar on a motorcycle he purchased off of Ebay for $1,500.
It took about one year to get the bike running properly and looking good.
His helping paramedic of 20 years, Alice Gerard, said, "A whole lot of people in this town have had their hands in this project."
As the Hutchinson County United Way prepares to kickoff another campaign, it was challenged to proceed full steam ahead.
Brent McClure, VP and General Manager of News Channel 10 Media in Amarillo, was the featured speaker for the HCUW Executive Luncheon held Thursday afternoon in the Rig Room, located on the third floor of Borger Bank.
McClure said as general manager of the news station, he knows it is important for his news team to be a part of the community.
"If we are not part of the community, we can't tell the news of the community and get the word out," he said.

As of Thursday, October 24, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
Coach: Winston Gordon
Record: 0-6-1, 0-2 region
Last week: Lost to Lovett 49-0
Coach: Tim Hardy
Record: 7-0, 1-0 region
Last week: Had a bye
Coming off a second bye week, with another struggling program on tap, Greater Atlanta Christian will once again be putting the focus on itself.
The top-ranked Spartans are outscoring their opponents by an average of 52-11 and haven't lost a game yet. The closest matchup was a 48-26 win over Stone Mountain in the season opener. GAC has only gotten more effective since then. But head coach Tim Hardy sees room for improvement if the Spartans want to get to the top of the mountain.
"We haven't been as consistent as we'd like on special teams," Hardy said. "We've allowed a few too many big plays on defense and we need to be more efficient in the red zone."
Two weeks ago, GAC officially earned a spot in the state playoffs with a 49-3 drubbing of Westminster in the first region game of the season. Because of how the GHSA set up Region 6-AA, one victory there assures a team of making the postseason.
The Spartans have their sights trained on a prize well beyond that.
But first it's winless Hapeville Charter on homecoming.
"We need a clean game," Hardy said. "We need to be sharp out of the gate."
They've been particularly impressive on defense this season with the line making a real difference each night. Inside linebackers Tyler Cooksey and Paul Carothers are complimented by linemen Price Roberts, Mitchell Shea and Mitchell Milovich, who have all been a physical force this season.
Last meeting: GAC won 38-20 last year
Directions to GAC: From I-85, go east on Indian Trail Road and school is on the right.

The team and players won numerous awards.
The all stars were strong when up to bat.
The Carbon and Guam teams afterwards. While the two teams were competitors, the end result was a respectful rivalry between fellow players.
For the third year in a row Price has a young bunch of men who have worked extremely hard, and faced some very challenging competition. But through it all, filled with passion they stepped up to the plate and accomplished some amazing feats. For the second straight year they won the state championship to advance to the Southwest Pacific Division Championship outside of Fresno CA. It is a finish that hundreds of teams in the western United States would be envious of.
This team of 11 and 12 year olds had to prepare themselves mentally and physically to travel to stiff California competition. Not only were they working hard to get themselves ready to play and perform to the best of their abilities, but they also had the responsibility of raising the funds necessary to pay for the trip to Fresno. And a great thanks from the team goes out to the community who helped them raise money for all twelve families on the baseball experience of a lifetime.
"We would like to extend appreciation to the community for all of those businesses and individuals who came forward and so willingly opened their wallets to make this possible for our team. We are so proud to live in a community that is so selfless in their efforts to support us," read the teams official statement.
The team was filled with excitement to hear that the team that defeated them last year (Visalia, CA) would once again be competing for the division title. Other teams that qualified were Somerton AZ, Fremont CA, Bullard CA, Juab UT, and Guam.
The opportunity to play Guam was the most exciting part of the whole tournament for the players and coaches, because they didn't know what to expect.
To the Carbon team they looked like giants. And while this looked like a David and Goliath struggle, in the end both teams were simply glad to have the opportunity to compete.
The first game was a tough fought battle, but Carbon was the better team in all aspects. In one inning a few errors allowed them to score five runs. However, that was enough for a defeat 5-4.
Following the game discussion took place about the bad situation with heart breaking elimination being just one game away.
The next challenge was against the home team, the Easton/Caruthers. This game was a completely different story, as the team had worked out their jitters and their bats became alight with fire. An amazing 20 runs were scored and the Caruthers were shut out in four innings.
Guam would truly be a measure of the depth and strength for the Carbon team. The three and a half hour game was in burning 100 degree heat and by the end of the sixth the score was tied at six. Guam ended up throwing five different pitchers to try and keep the Carbon hitters off balance but regardless 12 runs were put in to pull off an amazing victory. Cole Fossat, Brayson Hurdsman, and Kayden Lewis shared the pitching chores over Guam. Austin Salazar hit an amazing three homers to lead the offense. It was the "never give up" hitting style of this Carbon team that won it.
Next, playing in another long, hot game against Fremont, CA. Hitting was too numerous to mention. Putting up 19 runs to their 10 in another great game that ended shortly before midnight. Pitching responsibilities went to Jarod Lessar, Lewis, and Wyatt Thayn.
The next team, Bullard, had beat Carbon to start out the tournament.
This game proved to be no less intense than the previous meeting between the two. Once again Carbon found themselves at the end of regulation play with a tied score four to four. Being the home team the momentum was turning Carbon's way, the fans were on the edge of their seats.
Beginning the eighth inning, with a lead batter hit in the head by a fast ball, things were once again looking bad. But Salazar advanced to third by a scorcher hit by Thayn. Now with runners on first and third, Kasey Moynier drilled a line drive over the right fielders head to score the winning run to end the game 5-4.
Finally Carbon was in the championship game.
Again the passion and will to win came through winning the game against Visalia. It ws a battle just as tough as many of the others. It was a pitcher's dual with Carbon dishing 13 strike outs, and Visalia giving up eight. Carbon's pitchers for this game were Thayn and Lewis.
In the sixth they scored when Thayn was hit by a pitch. Steven Zamatakis earned a walk. Alex Ruiz reached base and then scored on a hit by Dillon Lowe. That is where the game ended as Carbon was unable to continue with the momentum. Final was a 4-3 loss in another hard fought battle by a team that never knew the meaning of the word quit.
Kayden Lewis, Cole Fossat and Austin Salazar were names to the All-Tournament team. Salazar was also named tournament MVP.
As manager of the Carbon All star team, I could not be more proud of this bunch of young men than I am. Not only are they great athletes, but they are great young men. As coaches we had many individuals approach us while in California and also during the state tournament in West Valley and compliment not only the quality of them as athletes but as quality young men. That makes me just as proud as the accomplishments that they achieved on the ball diamond.

Hard Water | Mandatory Practical Activity 17 | Softening Hard Water by Ion Exchange | Water Treatment for Domestic Use
Chemistry Hardness of Water and Water Treatment
Dissolved Salts in Water
Water is so good at dissolving many different substances that it is known as the 'universal solvent'.
Many salts, because they are ionic compounds, dissolve easily in water.
Water in nature is rarely pure; it usually contains a variety of dissolved substances including soluble salts.
Hard Water
It is difficult to form lather when using soap with hard water.
A lather is a layer sudsy froth at the surface of the water.
Hard water contains the soluble ions of calcium and/or magnesium (Ca2+, Mg2+ )
The sources of these ions are certain common soluble salts.
Calcium Hydrogen Carbonate Ca(HCO3) 2
Magnesium Hydrogen Carbonate Mg(HCO3)2
Calcium Sulphate CaSO4
Magnesium Sulphate MgSO4
The calcium and magnesium ions react with soap making a curdy scum.
A lather will form only when there are no calcium or magnesium ions in the water.
Therefore extra soap is needed to form a lather in hard water.
The extra soap is used to remove the calcium and/or magnesium ions.
The extra soap is used to soften the water.
Less soap is needed to make a lather with soft water.
Hard Water Advantages
1. Supplies calcium which is needed for strong bones.
2. Good for brewing beer and ale.
3. Good for tanning i.e. converting animal skin to leather.
4. Some prefer the taste of hard water.
Hard Water Disadvantages
1. Limescale wastes fuel – it insulates the kettles, steam irons and boilers.
2. The scum causes problems when washing clothes.
3. Limescale blocks hot water pipes and radiators.
4. Wastes soap – extra soap is needed to form lather.
Limescale is the layer of calcium carbonate (limestone rock, CaCO3 ) that forms on the inside walls when water hard with calcium hydrogen carbonate is heated.
Ca(HCO3)2 + Heat » CaCO3 + H2O + CO2
Mandatory Practical Activity 17
(a) Conduct a Qualitative Experiment to Detect the Presence of Dissolved Salts in Water Samples.
1. Place an evaporating dish on top of a beaker of water.
2. Pour some of the water sample into the evaporating dish.
3. Heat the water sample by heating the beaker of water with a Bunsen.
4. The steam from the boiling water heats the evaporating dish.
5. Keep heating until the evaporating dish is dry.
6. Note the fine layer of grey residue on the inside of the evaporating dish – this is the soluble solids that were in solution in the water.
7. If a drop of dilute hydrochloric acid is placed in the dish and produces a fizz then a carbonate salt is present.
(b) Test Water for Hardness (Soap Test)
Use identical small flasks and stoppers.
Have the same volume of water in each flask.
A pipette will deliver an exact volume of the water sample to the flask.
Set up a control: use soft water e.g. deionised water or distilled water.
Add one drop of soap solution from a small dropper to each flask.
Stopper and shake each flask with equal effort for 30 seconds.
Check for a permanent lather i.e. a lather that lasts for one minute.
Keep adding soap solution, drop by drop, until a permanent lather is formed.
A water sample is hard if it needs more soap flakes than the deionised soft water.
The more soap flakes needed, the harder the water.
Softening Hard Water by Ion Exchange
Water is hard because it has soluble calcium and/or magnesium ions.
To soften water the ions of calcium and magnesium must be removed.
Swop the calcium and magnesium ions in the water for sodium ions.
Pass the hard water through a column of porous sodium aluminium silicates or over sodium ion exchange resins.
Soft water emerges.
The sodium ions in the column pass into the water.
The calcium and magnesium ions pass from the water into the column.
Sodium ions in the water do not cause hardness.
Some Other Methods of Softening Water
Distillation – the distilled water is soft.
Add washing soda i.e. sodium carbonate – dishwashers and washing machines.
Remove all ions from the water: deionised water is soft.
Carry Out a Simple Distillation, and obtain a Sample of Water from Seawater.
Water Treatment for Domestic Use ('HATS')
Healthy: free of poisons and disease-causing organisms (bacteria, viruses).
Attractive: must look good – clear, colourless and no suspended material.
Taste: nice taste.
Smell: no smell.
Five Major Treatment Processes
1. Screening
The water is passed through wire meshes to remove large suspended debris such as twigs, leaves, plastic bottles, paper cartons etc..
2. Settling or Sedimentation
The water flows into a reservoir or large tanks.
Small dense suspended material like fine sand and clay sinks to bottom.
Clear water flows out at the top at the far end.
3. Filtration
The water is assed through filter beds of fine sand, coarse sand and gravel.
Coarse sand and gravel used to keep the layer of fine sand in place.
The smallest suspended material is trapped in the layer of fine sand.
The tiny spaces between the grains of fine sand are too small to let even the finest suspended material to pass through.
