We use these pumps to supply water to a hydroponic grow-bed for microgreens. We use one pump for a 3-tier table - with a total head-lift of 7'. We had tried a smaller pump of the same brand - but wound up upgrading to this one - and we are happy with the performance.

I purchased this pump for an aquarium I am building. First off it doesn't come with a water flow/lift table. So you have no idea what flow rate you will get after the pupmp lifts the water a given distance. The rating of 650 gph is for zero lift. I needed to know the flow rate for 4 feet of lift and even the harbor freight tech support couldn't tell me. It is also noisy and the accessories are flimsy and leak all over the place. I made my own manifold to use instead of the one that came with it. You get what you pay for.

Comments about Pacific Hydrostar 620 GPH Submersible Fountain Pump:
I use this pump to flush and descale my tankless water heater. I ran white vinegar through the pump for 2 consecutive hours. It worked quit well, I had no problems with it and it did wonders on the heater. It ran with a good flow the entire time and did exactly as I was hoping. Saved me lots of money. Good price and served my purpose very well.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

OK you won't find a pump this powerful at that price.Figure on paying twice as much. I have bought 6 ofthem for various fountain projects and never had anissue. They aren't adjustable flow so you need to adda ball valve but small price to pay for the powerand size of this pump. You can't even beat this priceonline.

Plan a potluck: The first Thanksgiving was a potluck; so let your guests share the fun and bring dishes to share. Then make sure they take home their serving bowls and platters, which will cut down on dishes to wash and put away.
Decide on disposable: Leave Mom's good dishes in the breakfront and set your table with disposable — and recyclable — place settings. Party stores sell plastic dishware that look like real china (12 dinner plates for about $13). After eating, collect and toss. If you can't stand to set a table with anything but your best, use disposables for hors d'oeuvres and dessert.
Triple-duty cookware: Cut down on cleanup by selecting cookware that can go from oven to table to freezer. Or, serve food in edible containers, such as bread bowls or hollowed-out winter squash, which you can either consume or compost.
Empty fridge: Start your holiday with a clean slate, which will make the inevitable mess less daunting than piling clutter onto clutter. Before beginning Thanksgiving prep, pick up depressing home clutter and clean out your fridge to make room for ingredients and leftovers.
If possible, designate a shelf for Thanksgiving food, which should be empty when you start your meal, then filled with leftovers when you're finished. In a week, clean out that shelf again. Make soup from leftover meat and veggies, and then freeze. Compost wilted greens. Toss old dairy products.
Prepare roasting pans: You won't have to clean what you don't get dirty. So line your turkey roasting pans with heavy-duty aluminum foil, or cook the bird in a bag. Pour drippings into a pot to make gravy, then throw away the liner.
Line garbage cans: Double- or triple-line garbage cans, which saves time when the cleaning campaign begins. After you toss a trash bag, there's another waiting for action.
Soaking bin: Soak pots and pans as soon as you transfer food to platters. But instead of filling the sink with soaking pots, designate a small trashcan as the soaking spot. Fill it will soapy water and dirty pots, and hide it under a sink or in a mudroom. That way, your sink is free throughout the evening to clean as you go and rinse dishes on the way to the dishwasher.
Stop stains: Don't let stains on carpet or rings on furniture set. While wine stains are still wet, dab with go-to cleaner hydrogen peroxide mixed with a few drops of dish detergent; blot with a clean cloth. Get rid of water stains on wood furniture with a dab of white toothpaste (not gel). Rub in the direction of the grain.
Pump up the music: Up-tempo music will give you a second wind for cleaning. So turn off the soothing dinner tunes and get rocking with our cleaning playlist.

Some Reasons Why You Might Think About An Accelerated Nursing School
No doubt about it, but that this last recession was and continues to be tough on folks who have to work for a pay check. Then once more, even in case you have managed to stay fully employed all through it all, you know that in the new competitive work environment that it created, wage increases and job promotions have been far fewer and further between.
Then once more, there is certainly one occupation in particular that appears to have been unaffected by the global downturn and is also expected to register worker shortages on into the future. That's nursing, and not just nursing in one certain country either, but nursing all over the globe. That is, all nations are presently, and will continue to see much more wellness care jobs open up.
The truth is a lot of working folks now, both men and women, have began in taking a 1 year to 15 month BSN accelerated nursing program but not just for future job security either. You see, the fact is that nowadays, a career in nursing has a good deal more than just job security along with a high income to supply. There are massive rewards and perks that could make it an even a lot more exciting prospect when you discover about them.
For instance, in the event you like to travel and encounter foreign countries and cultures, a degree in nursing is your ticket to anyplace on the planet which you would like to check out and work at. Then once again, if you have usually wanted to be a globetrotting philanthropist, this kind of job is just the ticket. There is certainly usually a need for nurses in every country on the planet.
Then again as more nations about the globe are tightening restrictions on travel visas and work permits, the nursing shortage in practically all these very same countries indicates that a nursing degree will get you in. Not merely will it get you in but it also indicates that you can be fast tracked by way of the application process in many instances.
Then if you're getting old in years and maybe would like to remain productive in a job past the retirement age or, in case you are concerned that your advancing age could in some way put you at a disadvantage inside the line of work you're currently in, think about this: that is that over the past fifteen years alone the average age of a nurse within the US has gone from 40 to 47. This is really ais actually a trend that is predicted to only continue.

The tiresome canonizing of I.F. Stone.
Guttenplan is right in noting that thousands of Americans viewed Stalinist Russia through rose-colored glasses in the 1930s. Ignoring all hints of genocide from the left while obsessing over genocide from the right became their selective way of viewing the world. It all revolved around fear, says Guttenplan—fear of Nazis abroad and fascists at home. That, we are told, is why Stone supported so many Communist causes in the 1930s without actually joining the Communist Party (what some might call a distinction without a difference). Stone saw communism as the true enemy of domestic fascism, much as he saw Stalin as the true enemy of Hitler. "They did it in Italy," Stone wrote of the fascists in 1934. "They did it in Germany. They did it in Austria. They will try to do it in America."
The trouble, however, is that Guttenplan sees no contradiction between Stone's soft spot for Stalinism, on the one hand, and his journalistic integrity, on the other. In truth, Stone never seriously complained about Stalin's infamous labor camps or his strangling of the Russian press. Indeed, Stone's excuse for ignoring mass murder in the Soviet Union was chillingly simple. Revolutions, he explained, "do not take place according to Emily Post."
When America moved to the right in the 1940s and '50s, Stone paid the price. He became, in his own words, an "ideological typhoid Mary," shunned by old friends and attacked by new enemies. He responded by starting his own weekly, four pages long, which attracted attention as a quirky counterbalance to blander national publications. Most readers shared Stone's long-held views about the dangers of domestic fascism and the evils of American imperialism. But his relentless criticism of the Vietnam War, as well as his enchantment with a new crop of left-wing dictators like Fidel Castro, made him a hero to many young protesters in the 1960s. Through it all, Stone stuck to his core beliefs while the world changed around him.
What does one make of all this? Guttenplan looks at Stone's 60-year career and sees a journalist who remained "both radical and independent"—a view that seems misguided at best. The sad truth is that radicalism and independent thinking were mutually exclusive elements for Stone, with the former dominating the latter. In the 1930s, Stone's devotion to the Soviet Union determined his stance on virtually every political issue. During World War II, his fierce support for American involvement centered once more on the Soviet issue—his belief that the defeat of Nazi Germany and the survival of Stalinist Russia both depended on U.S. military power.
Indeed, Stone's behavior in these years reached the point of zealotry. What else can be said of a journalist who called for the federal prosecution of wartime dissenters while remaining mum on the greatest civil liberties disaster in our history, the internment of 110,000 men, women, and children of Japanese ancestry, the majority of whom were citizens of the United States? In the Cold War era, Stone charted a course that condemned U.S. foreign and domestic policy at almost every turn. Sometimes he was on target; sometimes he was wrong. Rarely, however, were his positions even remotely "independent."
Sanitizing Stone's record makes him a less credible figure. His genius lay not in what he wrote but in his refusal to be silenced. A life like his—passionate, combative, and resilient—is poorly served by hagiography. Stone deserves better.

How safe are we?: Los Altos officials collaborate with PG&E on gas-pipeline safety measures
- Details
- Published on Tuesday, 17 May 2011 17:00
- Written by Jana Seshadri - Staff firstname.lastname@example.com
Last September's deadly gas-pipeline explosion in San Bruno raised many questions, with Los Altos residents asking, "Could that happen in my neighborhood?"
PG&E's pipelines deliver natural gas to residents in cities across the Bay Area. Los Altos officials are working with the utility company to prevent such a disaster from happening locally, according to Jim Gustafson, engineering services manager.
"We have approximately 10,000 gas connections," Gustafson said. "Every house in the city has gas delivered to it."
Although he does not have a precise Los Altos PG&E map, Gustafson said gas pipelines run along Foothill Expressway, Grant Road and El Monte Avenue, and some of the lines are old.
"We've requested a utility grid map from PG&E, along with pipe conditions and schedules for testing," he said. "They're addressing similar requests from several cities."
In the meantime, all development projects require underground utility work, which proceeds on a site-by-site basis, he said.
The gas line running under Los Altos along El Monte is the narrower, 4- to 8-inch-wide distribution feeder main line, not the wider, 24-inch transmission line, according to Brittany Chord, PG&E spokeswoman.
Installed in 1955, the Los Altos feeder lines deliver gas to residential areas, Chord said. Some new sections were added in 1998.
Proceeding with caution
Without a utility map for guidance, city officials take extra precautions while planning and executing construction projects to avoid undue mishaps, Gustafson said.
"We're very cautious about our projects," he said. "We follow the Underground Service Alert (USA North) system before construction."
The USA system generates communication between city officials and PG&E before the shovel hits the ground, according to Gustafson. After a project plan is finalized, he notifies the utility companies – including PG&E – of the project details and awaits response. The companies inspect the plan to determine the scope of work required to ensure that cables and lines have enough separation from one another, he said.
Each utility has its own set of codes and standards it must follow. In addition to their rules, Gustafson's team diligently takes care to guarantee that utility lines are out of the city's way.
"Every project is challenging," Gustafson said. "The underground is busy."
The USA system might cause delays, but safety is the city's No. 1 priority, he added.
San Bruno aftermath
Investigations and public hearings are ongoing months in the wake of the Sept. 9 San Bruno gas-pipeline explosion, which caused an inferno powerful enough to be seen from Los Altos Hills.
The rupture of the PG&E-owned and -operated natural gas pipeline – 30 inches in diameter – killed eight people, injured many more and destroyed 37 homes and damaged 18, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.
At San Bruno town hall meetings that followed, residents and family members shared personal accounts of what happened that day.
The powerful blast occurred after a major gas line running under a San Bruno neighborhood began leaking large volumes of gas, which ignited, blew a 28-foot section of the pipe out of the ground and set ablaze a dozen homes.
According to a Dec. 14 report by onsite investigators, PG&E's pipeline in the ruptured area was installed in 1956 and connected with welds. It was not seamless, as the utility's records indicated. While some sections were welded from both the inside and outside of the pipe, others were welded only from the outside.
After discovering that PG&E's records for the San Bruno explosion area were inaccurate, National Transportation Safety Board regulators issued recommendations for the utility to follow.
Federal investigators directed the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), which regulates PG&E's pipeline operations, to ensure that utility representatives search the records for more accurate information on their pipelines. If the document and records search cannot be satisfactorily completed, they must identify segments that had not undergone a testing regimen, to determine a safe operating pressure, explore the use of automatic/remotely operated shut-off valves and provide oversight of any testing conducted by PG&E.
It happened one night
in Los Altos
The explosion in San Bruno brought back painful memories for Los Altos resident David Hu, who experienced a similar crisis several years ago.
A faulty PG&E gas pipeline caused an explosion that blew apart Hu's Frontero Avenue home in 2005. Hu and his two children were sleeping but managed to escape with minor injuries. His wife was out of the country at the time.
An investigation identified a copper gas-pipeline connector as the cause of the explosion. Gas began leaking at the failed connector, which joined two steel gas pipes and returned to the home through the sewer pipe, consequently causing the explosion that destroyed three-quarters of the home. A portion of Hu's garage roof fell, and he was pinned under a mattress covered with debris. He and his children suffered bruises, scratches and minor injuries.
"We're still coping with that. Once in a while, images of the past haunt me," Hu said. "We're doing fine now, thank God. It was nothing short of a miracle. We had several angels with their arms around us."
Hu and his family have since moved from their damaged home but remain in Los Altos. Bound by legal obligations, he is unable to reveal more information and would rather put the entire episode behind him. Dealings with PG&E after the explosion have been satisfactory, he said.
Pipeline testing begins
Last month PG&E embarked on the task of safety testing its pipelines per CPUC directive, beginning in Mountain View and Antioch.
"What we are hydrotesting now is 150 miles of transmission pipelines based on characteristics similar to those of the San Bruno pipes," Chord said.
The testing involves pressurizing a section of pipe with water to a much higher pressure than the pipe would experience with natural gas. The test validates the safe operating pressure of the pipeline. Crews tested a 1.5-mile stretch of 24-inch pipe that runs from Shoreline Golf Links to a street behind Crittenden Middle School, part of which was installed in 1944.
"The eight-hour test ended successfully in Mountain View," Chord said. "There was no loss in water pressure, which means no leaks were found."
PG&E established a comprehensive survey and monitoring program for ongoing reviews of the safety of its natural gas transmission pipeline system, Chord said. The company has taken significant initial actions to improve the safety and operations of the natural gas system and the security of the communities it serves.
PG&E pipelines of a similar size and age to the San Bruno line that have not been pressure tested are continuing to operate at pressures reduced by 20 percent, Chord said. PG&E is communicating with residents within 2,000 feet of its gas transmission pipeline throughout its service area, she said.
Additional testing in other cities will follow in the coming months. Los Altos is not on PG&E's radar for the immediate future, Chord said, adding that Los Altos' pipelines are significantly narrower and different from those that ruptured in San Bruno.
Residents interested in additional information on PG&E pipelines should contact the company directly, as city officials do not have such data, Gustafson said.

Contractor-Acquired Government Owned (CAGO) Equipment
What is it?
Non-standard CAGO, or "white" equipment, is often purchased to support global contingency operations. The Army's Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP) has acquired more than 660,000 commercial line items of equipment totaling more than $3.6 Billion in Iraq and Afghanistan alone. Because such equipment is not military standard ("green") and cannot be returned to the Army's inventory, it is of little utility once this equipment is no longer needed to fulfill mission requirements.
What has the Army done?
In conjunction with implementing changes to procurement policy and refining acquisition processes, the Army has extensively planned for the most effective way to dispose of "white" equipment that is no longer needed. Because of its highly specialized nature and its tendency for long lead-times, "white" equipment has significant resale potential. The Army conducted a business case analysis (BCA) in 2007 to determine the most effective disposition options. The analysis revealed that 85 percent of all LOGCAP III items were excluded from repatriation due to policy constraints, international agreements, and/or basic cost feasibility. However, the majority of remaining items (approximately 14 percent), were identified as candidates to repair and refurbish for sale on the global market.
What continued efforts does the Army have planned for the future?
As "white" equipment exceeds the combatant commander's needs, it will be inspected and evaluated against the business model established through the BCA. This process will allow the Army to determine the most effective method of disposition such as retention for future use, sale on the commercial market, or disposal through the Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service.
Why is it important to the Army?
In the context of the LOGCAP III BCA, repairing and refurbishing "white" equipment for resale on the global market would cost the government an estimated $18.8 Million, but could potentially return an estimated $1Billion. Through the facilitation of the Army Working Capital Fund, the ultimate proceeds can be returned to the Army to off-set LOGCAP operational costs, thereby maximizing the responsible application of appropriated monies.

temperature problem
i have a 30g tank and have 2 seargent demsil and one 6 spot goby as in pakistan we have temperatures quite high recently my goby died as my temperature of my tank rose to 89f kindly help me what to do how can i lowe it
Obviously, you can add a chiller to the aquarium.
However, you can also lower the water temperature by cooling off your equipment. The simplest way is to mount a very small fan to blow across the light stips. These fans can be purchased at any computer store, as they are intended for home computer systems.
If you have a canopy on the aquarium, is it well ventilated? Canopies need to have slits in the top to allow for heat to escape.
Have you checked the obvious, meaning your heater? Perhaps it is stuck in the on position.
This is off topic, but i am concerned about the long term success of your aquarium. Seargent Majors are not a good selection for an aquarium this small. They get large and are rather belligerent, requiring a much larger system for permanent success.
Agreed with Pasfur.
I suggest you really look into a 120mm (or larger) fan to help cool the tank. While this may not be effective cooling off your lights, if it is placed to blow _across_ the surface of the water, it should have a profound effect. I used the fan method to cool my tank off one night and it chilled it almost too much. I had to shut it off because it was too powerful on my nano reef, I should think it would suit your tank nicely. However with this method you should expect a drastic increase of evaporated water.
Chillers, afaik, are expensive units that only lower the tank temps a few degrees or so - although I could be wrong, I've never used a chiller myself and only read that about many units - perhaps consulting the Heaters & Chillers forum if you are curious about the tech.
Good luck.
temperature control
thanks guys i will put the fan on the canopy i asked for the chiller but it is not available on the shop which fish can i keep with seargent demsil?
Hamidz, I am merging this thread with your original temp. control thread, no need to make a follow-up thread. Please keep all related posts in one topic please.

Defining Lines
Anglers know something of lines. Wet a line, throw a line, mend your line, strip line, feed line. Slack in your line…or better yet, tension on your line. Lines and patterns are all around us, both in fishing and in life. If you're a mom, you know there is a fine line between doing something selfish and doing something for yourself. Faced with any opportunity that takes us away from our kids, we have to pull out the moral magnifying glass to examine just how badly we might be crossing it.
This past week eight women emerged from below the Mason Dixon Line, headed somewhere near the Great Divide on a quest for fish, fellowship and a touch of freedom. Six of the women were from Alabama, one from North Carolina, and yours truly from Texas. All together we have 25 children and nine grandchildren. Oh yeah, these mama chickens were flying the coop alright!
Unfortunately, our great escape to Montana was no easy task. Granted the shortest distance between point A and point B is a straight line, but air travel doesn't always follow that flight pattern. Right out of the gate four members of our crew were detained in Memphis for an entire travel day, including our fearless leader, Ginna. They spent endless hours in the birthplace of Sun Records and the music of Elvis and Cash while three of us towed the line on a different route all the way to Bozeman.
Did I mention we didn't all know each other? Ginna had assembled a group of women whom she thought would enjoy learning to fish and other ranchy adventures of the West. We each had our own ties to her, but not necessarily to each other.
(Boy, has that since changed!)
So I wandered the Bozeman airport looking for two women I knew only by description. I did find Ashley and Robin easily enough, although locating the ranch vehicle in the airport parking lot was a challenge. Tired of searching I almost accidentally stole the wrong suburban that was also using the key-in-the-gas-tank trick. Oops. Luckily I didn't get far before figuring it out, thus avoiding grand theft auto and a police lineup.
So there I was barreling down the road in a car that wasn't mine with two women I'd just met. But the one thing I recognized? Montana. It was an unmistakable view and a feeling I've had time and time again. Following that white line down a Montana highway, drawing me back in. I loved it.
And I loved my new girlfriends! We were chatting away halfway to Dillon when Robin received a call.
Robin answered, "Hey, what's going on?"
Her fourteen year old son was on the line and inquired, "Where are you?"
"Oh, never mind."
"Did you forget I was coming out to Montana for a week?"
"Uh… yeah, never mind."
Robin, "You were calling for a ride somewhere weren't you?"
Her sweet son, "Well, yeah."
I suppose that fine line between motherhood and guilty independence shifts considerably when kids reach their teenage years.
The three of us served as the advance team with a run to the grocery store and settling into the ranch. We awakened to discover the remainder of the Alabama crowd who arrived at some ghastly hour in the middle of the night, while Laura came the following day from North Carolina. She had rented her own car because she also had to leave early for a funeral.
As you can see, it was no small task assembling this group. We had coordinated kids and dads and sitters and in-laws. Lined up diapers and playdates. Said 'no thank you' to other trips. Re-arranged travel to accommodate emergencies. Saved pennies and traded in miles. One member of our posse even overcame her dire phobia of flying to be a part of this trip. It's remarkable what women can do when they set their sights on something.
I roomed with Amy, whom I'd met only once before, very briefly at a Mardi Gras party in Mobile. That said, it was as if we'd known each other for ages, discovering ties to Texas friends and Texmex food and Hatch Show Print and Montana fishing and Hill Country music. Amy, a former celebrity TV journalist and all-around brilliant media guru brought custom CDs for the trip and great movies to watch like 'Walk The Line'. Oh yeah, my roomie's a Cash fan.
This was, without question, one of the most fun-filled and purposeful trips I have ever been a part of. These talented, inspired women were thoroughly undeterred by the rigors of travel and were ready for the journey. Keeping the ties that bind close to our hearts, we dove into this Montana adventure with our eyes wide open all the time.
We kicked off the trip with fly fishing lessons on the ranch, where we fished most days. I was blown away by everyone's natural penchant for casting and their innate ability to appreciate the nuances of fish and fishing.
These Dixie girls loved it all – the weather, the scenery, the trout, the waters, the flies, the guides, the whole process. I have never met a more positive group of people!
Everyone caught fish over the course of the week, and the light and energy they brought to this sport was beyond refreshing.
But it wasn't all fishing on spring-fed ponds and creeks. Oh no. There was fishing to be sure, but there was also plenty of cooking, painting, hiking, dancing and laughing. This group was primed to soak up any & all of the local culture. We watched as they loaded cattle onto trucks. Went to the Follies in Virginia City. Enjoyed amazing music from the Dillon Junior Fiddlers and were entertained by a real live Cowboy Poet.
Did I mentioned we laughed? I mean we really laughed. I can honestly say we are leaving Montana with a few extra laugh lines.
We drank wine and ate copious amounts of food, swapping recipes and cooking tips. We had dynamic conversations about faith and religion and motherhood and art and conservation. We came to know each other through stories about our kids, husbands, ex-husbands, careers, romances, grief and dreams for what lies ahead.
It's humbling to have been a part of such a dynamic group, and I am blessed to call each one of these women a true friend for life. I will do my best in the coming days to recount some of the stories from the trip — including some great fish despite tough run-off conditions and tricky spring weather.
In the end, we never got around to watching the movie 'Walk The Line'. Frankly we were too busy walking it ourselves. Walk the line, cast the line, mend the line. We did it all, literally and figuratively.
I can't claim it as my own, but one of the favorite lines of the trip was, "Just Cast On Sistah!" Which seems terribly appropriate since after all, the technical definition of a line is nothing more than a straight curve.

Peter LaBarbera Reacts
Jim Burroway
November 8th, 2012
His side lost because they weren't nasty enough:
Pro-family advocates must stop looking for short cuts and return to their principled duty of educating citizens – especially brainwashed youth — on why homosexual behavior is wrong, unnatural, unhealthy and – most important – changeable. (Thousands of former homosexuals like DL Foster testify to the reality of ex-"gay" change.)
Reframing the debate to "defending marriage" – a "positive" approach once seen as the salvation of the pro-family movement – only gave well-organized "gay" activists a big, fat target to shoot at: "Marriage." And on Tuesday, they scored several direct hits on that target. By pretending that the fight to preserve real marriage is somehow separate from homosexuality, pro-family advocates undermined their core principles – leading to long-term (and even short-term) defeat.
Who are we kidding? This titanic fight has always been about homosexuality, not just "defending marriage." We need to stop conceding the moral high ground in a fearful bid to appear "tolerant": one pro-family group, Protect Marriage Maine, asserted that "same-sex couples are entitled to respect" – a claim at odds with historic Scriptural teaching. While Christians should respect all persons as made in God's image, we must never "respect" behaviors and relationships grounded in sexual sin.
