Skip to comments.Some Maryland stores selling banned dish detergent
Posted on 08/22/2010 10:34:20 PM PDT by smokingfrog
Baltimore - A ban that's designed to protect the Chesapeake Bay from a dangerous pollutant went into effect more than a month ago and you may not even noticed. That ban impacts the detergent we all use in our dishwashers. ABC2 News Investigator Joce Sterman explains what's been cut out of the cleaning product and where we found banned items out for sale.
She's got kids, a career and still has to make time to do those households chores. It's obvious Luthervilles Jenny Atwater is a busy mom with plenty on her plate. She says, I hate unloading the dishwasher and I really hate unloading the dishwasher and seeing the dishes seem not very clean."
But Atwater has noticed thats been happening a lot lately. She tells us, "I do notice there tends to be more stuff left with this detergent, just stuff that normally would have been washed away probably."
The dish detergent she's talking about is phosphate free. Jenny made the switch a few months, and chances are so did you, although you probably didnt even notice. Jenn Aiosa with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation says, "The average consumer doesn't know."
Marylanders may not be aware that automatic dishwasher detergents with phosphorus are now banned in this state and more than a dozen others. The ban is thanks to a law put in place to help get rid of one of the biggest pollutants in the Chesapeake Bay. Aiosa explains, "It's really something that's relatively easy in the grand scheme of things for consumers to do but can have an impact."
The impact is something you should already be seeing on store shelves, but it took awhile to put this plan in place. Dennis Griesing with the American Cleaning Institute says, "It was a significant undertaking."

You are a peasant. Your lords wish you to starve. Cleaning dishes will not be a problem for long.
Well, I can dream can't I? Has anything we have ever done to fix perceived pollution ever done any good? I have yet to see an article that does anything but tell me I must sacrifice even more.
Don't know about the dishwashers, but steer clear of one of those HE washing machines. They are a major pain. I'm forever trying to wipe the gasket and run vinegar or ammonia or clorox through it to prevent smelly clothes. Some of the earlier versions don't drain properly.
I think that would be a wise decision. Maybe make a midnight run to MD to sell some bootleg soap.
Isn't that illegal?
I can't find a decent in candescent light bulb, just these poison spewing curly duds. What's next, Barry, you sonofabitch?
Hmmm, you're giving me ideas!
Actually, I don't know that the stuff classifies as soap ... but it does have a slippery feel to it, and an hydroxide odor.
I live in se WA, a state that also bans phosphates. Recently there was a news story here about some women from Spokane who drive over to ID to get the banned stuff. They don't think phosphate free detergents clean all that well, so they have become scofflaws.
Someone mentioned not too long ago that you could use vinegar in the dishwasher. I wonder, what viscous liquid would go well with vinegar that would rinse away? I know! A touch of shampoo! ... But wait, that will prompt the commie Kenyan Klown to ban soap in shampoos then. ... Just can't win with commies and nazis.
LOL. I read that at one time in South Florida that the freon-12 smugglers were making more money than the drug smugglers.
I dust mine off and re use them.
Butt I am picky about my toilet paper.
I found some of these at Lowes the other day.
# Mercury Free
# Dimmable
# Instant on
Just like the old standard bulbs used to be but they cost twice as much!
Just use paper and plastic, when you're done throw it out. Or better still - just burn it.
make home soap...but I Bet You know that. Recipe.
But DNA has phosphates in it..... These people are against DNA!!!!
" but steer clear of one of those HE washing machines. They are a major pain. "
My Kenmore Elite HE is excellent.
I just looked up HE washing machines and dishwashers. Apparently both need extra cleaning or unwelcome odors occur. We've never had to clean the inside of our old dishwasher. Using the hot cycle probably has something to do with it. So much for saving the environment when one has to use water just to clean an empty dishwasher, not to mention re-washing dishes.
Go to The Dollar Tree and get the old ones for $1 a box. Name brands like Sylvania :>}
I live on Long Island. About thirty-odd years ago the Suffolk County Legislature passed a similar ban. It eventually went away when it was found that the phosphates didn't show up in our waterways or our water supply.
More politicians with a lot more time on their hands than common sense in their heads!
Stay away from anything Maytag. I need a new one too, but haven't started looking yet. I need one that lasts more than three years.
Oh no! I had my eye on a Maytag Jetclean.
My current, broken-down one is a Jenn-Air that's already been repaired once, leaked and ruined my new floor, and the racks are rusting-out.
Unknown secret.
Now this is a crisis.
I am the dishwasher. What I can't handle the dogs usually can.
We've had a Samsung for over a year. It does a great job. Just leave the door open after washing to let it dry out. No problem with smell. Never wiped the gasket or used any cleaners.
The Chesapeake Bay is already on it's last legs, thanks to Chicken Poop used to fertilise fields, No till grass killers used in farming. Sewage from over flowing treatment plants, too many houses built on the water, Waste from cats and dogs being discharged into storm sewers which aren't treated, from Baltimore, Washington DC, Richmond.
The crabs are dying out , the oysters are already dead or dying.
In my youth if I got a bad cut. my mother would take me down to the river and let me swim for a while, and the sore would heal. Now if you have an open sore and you get close to the river you couls lose your arm.
I live on the Potomac and am afraid to let my Grandchildren get in the river. Watermen here have lost their infected fingers and some have been hospitalise from getting a cut from the crab pots. I had to go on antibiotics myself from a cut while fishing my pots.
I have a very basic Bosch dishwasher, purchased new 5 years ago when we built the house. It freaked me out for a week because it was so quiet, I was constantly checking to make sure it was working!
Until recently it washed dishes beautifully. No gunk, leftover bits or film. But because I read the post here on FR about phosphates being removed from detergent I noticed when Cascade phased it out of the box I buy at Sam's. Since then I've noticed a film on the dishes and more food particles left over.
I've yet to try the vinegar trick. It's hard to catch the Bosh between cycles.
My folks bought a Maytag clothes washer. Thing was a lemon, and couldn't get service from the company. Had to replace it in a year.
Most dishwashers have an "Extra cleaner" cup on the door. When the door closes, it dumps in the extra detergent, then when it is appropriate in the cycle, the regular detergent door releases.
Go to the hardware store and buy a box of TSP, Trisodium phoshpate. Put that in the "extra Detergent" cup, and reconsitute the missing ingredient that way, or blend it with the New Earth Soap, and use as usual.
What you'd need is a truck, a box on a chassis that is weather tight. It should be nondescript and not draw attention, you know, like an RV.
You could set up a flea market stall and sell out by noon. Or, stay home and ell from Ebay and ship every single day via USPO or UPS
Always use the HE detergent. Regular detergent creates too much suds and will cause premature machine failure.
If you have regular strength HE detergent, use 2 tablespoons.
If you have 2X, only use 1 tablespoon.
The odor you are getting is from using too much detergent. The detergent is enzyme based. If it does not get completely rinsed out, it will grow in your washer. The odor is "soap mold", much like forms in a shower.
You can buy a product from Menards, Lowes, etc. called "Affresh", it will clean the mold out.
I would avoid vinegar and ammonia as these could lead to premature failures in gaskets and seals.
Stoopid me, replying to my own post 'cause I forgot: You get the "Commercial Use" bulbs at the distributors - 130-volt so use a 100W where you would usually use a 75W, but the laaaassst! I have bulbs installed 9 years ago still in service...
Just go to your local Ace Hardware store and buy a box of "TSP." Trisodium Phosphate. Add a bit to your load and all will be fine.
We have a Maytag and it is a superior machine. It cleans dishes with out precleaning and is of excellent construction with out the minor failings of other machines that died.
I was stationed in southeast D.C. in the early and mid 60s, our flight line was next to the Potomac. The shore line there was always littered with condoms and dead domestic animals - not that much different than the rest of D.C.
TSP is great stuff. We used to use it, under pressure with water, for cleaning tractors, it cut right through any kind of grease and grime.
Yes, a great deal of good. Lead contamination, chemical, crap in the air land and water are all manifestly better.
This is mainly because our world had become so polluted between 1845 and 1970 that the average person was very much on board with cleaning up our planet.
But the wackos who people the green movement don't do what they do out of concern for the environment. They want power over people's lives and so they scream that the sky is falling all the louder. Ever wonder where the 'parts per million' number that used to accompany most stories on the latest threat to human life and habitation went? They have become embarrassingly low so they are avoided. The wackos (or 'Evil ones' take your pick)have even taken to making up threats out of whole cloth to add to the considerable power they have accumulated to themselves since the first 'earth day'. Evil doesn't have a day job.
No, you will have to wash your dishes before putting them in the dishwasher, that's all........................
"I live on the Potomac and am afraid to let my Grandchildren get in the river."
I hear you. Know an old guy who fell off his pier into the Magothy. In the process, he cut his leg. Within days he had to have his leg removed. Scary $hit.
The enviro nutcases made us get rid of Freon in our air conditioners 20+ years ago, to "fix" the Ozone Hole.
The Freon is gone. The Ozone Hole is still here................
There's plenty for sale in the stores down here.....maybe I just found a new line of work.

Pete Rozelle's comment is legendary in Bristol, Conn.
In the spring of 1980, ESPN president Chet Simmons told Rozelle that the seven-month-old sports network wanted to televise the NFL draft.
"Why do you want to do that?" replied the noted NFL executive.
Such a response sounds ludicrous in today's highly charged sports media world because the live, prime-time event has taken on a life of its own.
Ponder the angered, bewildered reaction of NFL fans if the annual draft was dropped by ESPN, the NFL Network and nationwide radio services.
Bob Ley, who joined ESPN on Sept. 9, 1979 — the third day of the network's operation — was co-host of that stone-age event on April 29, 1980.
"It's difficult to believe that Rozelle, a marvelous visionary, would have had such a reaction," the host of "Outside the Lines" said from his Connecticut home.
"But you have to understand that ESPN, founded that previous September, was still searching for live programming in order to find a solid identity on the sports map.
"Still, covering what looked to be a dull event didn't seem to make much sense."
Ley also recalls that Simmons, who had come over from NBC Sports, seemed a bit dubious.
"Before the draft started, he told Scotty Connal, his No. 1 assistant, that if things weren't working out, he should end the coverage and simply cut our losses."
Ley, working out of ESPN's Bristol studios, teamed with George Grande, one of ESPN's first "SportsCenter" anchors, in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Manhattan. And yes, Rozelle was there to make the draft announcements.
"To say our coverage is crude compared to what will happen this week is a masterful understatement," Ley said.
"I remember studying a hundred 3x5 index cards about the college players the night before the draft started.
"We made up coverage as we went along. By the time the six- hour program ended, we at least had a semblance of a rhythm."
Oklahoma running back Billy Sims was the No. 1 draft pick, going to the Detroit Lions.
"Obviously, Sims wasn't in New York, so no one saw his response," Ley recalled. "I had to get him on the telephone so viewers could hear what he had to say.
"But the draft achieved what Simmons wanted.
"We were also covering the NCAA men's basketball tournament that month. So Simmons ran huge newspaper ads in The New York Times, with the NFL logo next to the NCAA one, telling the world we had arrived as a sports network."
Ley, involved in draft coverage for 10 years, was later joined by household sports names such as Chris Berman, Paul Maguire, Chris Mortensen and Mel Kiper Jr., whose hairstyle quickly became a sports cartoonist's delight.
For Ley, the most exciting draft was in 1983 because of John Elway.
"He was the obvious No. 1 choice and Baltimore really wanted him, but it was reported he might sign a baseball deal with the Yankees. There was a lot of drama at play."
ESPN's coverage gradually evolved into a major sports attraction with high-profile athletes coming on stage and putting on NFL caps while family and friends cheer.
And seemingly every football expert in the country now gets TV time to analyze choices.
In 1995, the draft became a weekend event so popular that other TV sports events often were programmed around the telecast.
Last year, the draft moved to prime time (6 p.m.) on ESPN and ESPN2 on Thursday through Saturday — a schedule that will be repeated starting Thursday from Radio City Music Hall.
The NFL Network also begins coverage at 6 p.m.
Bob Ley?
"I'll be watching at home marveling at the technology while recalling the way we were," he said.
Longtime Denver journalist Dusty Saunders writes about sports media each Monday in The Denver Post. Reach him at email@example.com.
"ABC's Wide World" turns 50
Here's more nostalgia for fans who remember "the thrill of victory — and the agony of defeat."
ESPN Classic is presenting 70 prime-time hours this week celebrating the 50th anniversary of "ABC's Wide World of Sports," which jump-started the careers of Roone Arledge and Jim McKay.
The series, utilizing live and taped reports of a variety of competition, was the first to provide coverage of Wimbledon, the Daytona 500 and the Triple Crown, among other events.

Emerson And IBM Combine Software Capabilities To Optimize Data Center Efficiency And Service Management
Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson (NYSE: EMR) and a global leader in maximizing availability, capacity, and efficiency of critical infrastructure, today announced that it will combine the capabilities of its Trellis TM platform with IBM IT service management (ITSM) software to significantly optimize the management of data center resources. This integrated data center infrastructure management (DCIM) solution will deliver increased energy and operational efficiency and improved IT service delivery. DCIM is an essential component for businesses that have high quality of service demands for information technologies and need to scale quickly. An estimated $450 million market today, DCIM is expected to grow to $1.7 billion by 2016, according to industry analyst firm Gartner. *Emerson customer Brocade is one of many IT-intensive businesses struggling to solve growth-related infrastructure challenges. The company recognizes the value of combining DCIM and ITSM capabilities in providing information and metrics to support the strategic resource allocation and investment required to meet future needs. "'Do more with less' has become standard operating policy in IT and data center environments. At the same time, the mix of physical and virtual assets is growing exponentially," said Valery Sokolov, senior manager, Engineering Lab Services, Brocade. "Because of these trends, there is a real business case for tools and applications that will provide the visibility and metrics required to manage IT resources and facilities provisioning efficiently and productively. This is where DCIM and ITSM applications become critical to provide the data required to achieve that goal, as well as to plan and model growth." Integrating IBM software with Emerson's Trellis platform will provide real-time visibility from IT applications, through infrastructure components, and all the way to the power grid, enabling holistic management of the data center ecosystem. This information can be used to improve energy efficiency and space and capacity utilization, enable rapid problem management and resource provisioning, and improve operational efficiency, all of which reduce the risk of downtime and enhance the delivery of IT services. Industry analyst firm IDC, which has been studying the DCIM market since its inception, believes this integration can deliver customer benefits. "The combination of Emerson's real-time infrastructure optimization capabilities in the Trellis platform and IBM's suite of enterprise system management capabilities has the potential to help IT and facilities teams deploy a comprehensive data center infrastructure management solution to increase energy and operational efficiency," said Jennifer Koppy, research manager, IDC. The combined capabilities of Emerson's Trellis platform and IBM software will also enable data center managers to understand the true costs of running an application with metrics like watts per workload, calculate its resource demands in real-time, and dynamically provision physical and logical resources to support the application efficiently and cost-effectively. "Managing the physical constraints of available space and power in the data center is becoming a greater challenge for organizations. This, combined with the increasing demand on the enterprise for reliable and agile IT services, makes finding a cost-effective solution critical for our customers," said Jamie Thomas, vice president, Tivoli strategy and development, IBM. "The combination of Emerson Network Power's market-leading DCIM solution – the Trellis platform – along with our solutions for IT service management and systems management, is an ideal way to meet these customer needs with innovative capabilities." Steve Hassell, president of Emerson Network Power's Avocent business, added: "Aligning our DCIM capabilities with IBM's software capabilities enables data center managers and IT and facilities leaders to see, decide, and act across all resources. This collaboration with IBM is a strong validation of our DCIM strategy and the ability of the Trellis platform to improve how data centers are currently managed and operated. Our collaboration will span engineering, development, and go-to-market strategies, and we are making significant investments to realize the full potential of our work together." As part of this collaboration, IBM will resell the Emerson Trellis platform as its DCIM solution. Details of the Trellis platform integration roadmap with IBM Tivoli software will be available in March at the IBM PULSE 2013 conference. To register for the event, visit: www.ibm.com/pulse.

I finally got around to updating to JRE 7 today, and noticed that it came bundled with JavaFX 2.
I'm generally attentive during installation processes to ensure that I don't leave any check-boxes marked for software I don't want bundled. However, this somehow still ended up as part of the package.
Is JavaFX a requirement for JRE now? Can I uninstall JavaFX without affecting JRE? Is there a way to download JRE without having JavaFX bundled?
OS is Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

I was testing the components filters when I came across something I was not expecting: using a filter will improve the results of some queries. The address I tested was "Avenida de Almirante Reis, 61 C/V.D, Lisboa".
Without the filter the result will only point to a Locality, while if I add a country filter it will point to an exact address.
Which leads me to doubt my knowledge on filters. The only modification a filter should do is to reduce the set of answers, not change it, which is what happens in this case.
I would like to know this because I'm using Google's Geocoding Service and will need to explain (to a certain degree) why I get the results I get, which means understanding this behaviour.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Garden Club Meeting - October 2012[ Edited ]
10-01-2012 10:32 AM - edited 10-01-2012 11:17 AM
I adore Oktoberfest! Bratwurst and German beer, mini-quiches shall be sidelined for this month long snacking extravagence in the garden! Though kicked it off early with a very good Hefeweizen: Lightning Thunderweizen which was definitely in the style of many German beers albeit brewed in Socal. Good times. Not quite Live Oak but tasty anyway.
Gardening this round started 9/18, extremely pleased (ecstatic even) with the results of the last round of gardening obtaining my goal FICO score for the year, and also my goal credit/charge card for the year, and a ludicrously good auto loan refinance so am in a good spot leading up to a possible mortgage in '13. Also there's a good chance my BOFA secured card graduates this month as it'll tick over it's birthday, looking forward to that possibility.
Currently tending in the garden:
Sprouts: (6-12 months)
BOFA 1-2-3 CashRewards - Secured
Capital One nee Orchard
DCU Visa secured
USAA secured CD loan
Seedlings: (<6 months)
DCU auto loan
Amex Zync (!)
Future goals:
Mortgage ready by 6/13
Amex BCP 1/14 or sometime after mortgage closes
Some random Chase card here same time as BCP, maybe CSP.
Current Score: EQ 04 694, EQ 8 714, TU 8 708, EX 8 724 (04/01/16)
Goal Score: 700 on EQ 04 (01/01/17)

Yarrow & Comfrey Moisturiser
Yarrow & Comfrey Moisturiser
Product Actions
Additional Information
Gently balances OILY or COMBINATION skin.
Yarrow helps balance the skin's natural oils whilst comfrey promotes regeneration of damaged skin for a fresh complexion.
- Oil balancing
- Moisturises without overloading
- Helps freshen the complexion
- Dermatologically Tested
- Suitable for Sensitive Skin
How to Use:
Use morning and night as part of a skin-care regime, or apply regularly throughout the day. Organic almond oil, shea nut butter, comfrey and rosemary are combined in this non-greasy moisturiser which is great for oily or problem skin.
I used this when I had an outbreak of acne and it's the only moisturiser that actually helped my skin. Balancing and healing. I love it!
Love this moisturiser - it absorbs well and my skin feels soothed. A jar will last a good while I expect. Really good matte finish too. Unusual smell but really like it now!
This was the first Neal' Yard product I bought. As a male I suffer from oily skin around the t-zone and wanted to change to a natural organic skin care range. The first couple of applications did not work too well (likely due to the old moisturiser brand not wanting to budge off my skin) but by the third day I noticed a big difference in my skin texture and overall complexion. It doesn't quite combat the oily skin until the very end of the day around the forehead for me, but I will definitely purchase again. The scent is pleasant and it will grow on you after a few uses. Would definitely recommend this for oily prone skin. Try it.
The best moisturiser for oily/combination skin I have used. It is very calming too and didn't cause breakouts like other moisturisers do. As I am 37 I need something a bit more moisturising though as well as being suitable for combination skin but I will go back to this agian and again for a change.
I use it in conjunction with Witch Hazel toner, Mahonia facial wash, and orange and honey facial scrub. My sensitive and oily skin has never looked so good! At last!
I have been following this company and I am very pleased with the policies it follows and the use of natural and organic ingredients. That is why I really wanted to like this moisturiser. I purchased with it the Purifying Palmarosa facial wash. I have oily, acne prone skin and my face didn't react very well to it. It didn't really help with the oiliness and my acne increased a bit. I have stopped using the moisturiser and kept using the facial wash and the results improved. I am sure it's great for a lot of people, I just had a bad reaction to it.
I have been using this as a moisturiser exclusively and consistently for almost 20 years. It is absorbed by the skin without leaving any oily residue - it moisturises without leaving me feeling as though I am wearing a moisturiser and it has kept my skin in fantastic shape. This is really a miracle in a jar!

Meow, that's one cunning cat!
This little guy is faced with what seems like a formidable task: cross the creek without getting its little paws soggy.
Not only does the cat accomplish this with grit and composure, but the feline does so while being purrrfectly courteous to its owner.
As one Reddit commenter noted, "I like how the cat waited to see if the old man wanted to go across first. A very polite cat." Indeed.
WATCH the clip above, which The Daily What raves is, "Destined to be a classic."

So diving right into our agenda today and what we hope to accomplish. Number one, give you an overview. We would like you to leave here understanding the diversity of our sales footprint. Give you an update, which we do every year, on innovation, new products that have been introduced to the market, the launches and where we see them and where we see them taking us. And that will come from our commercial leaders. As I mentioned earlier, Ramesh will speak about international, driving improvements in developed markets, places like Europe, and how we're going to expand in the emerging markets. Analysis of key market dynamics and the outlook for Stryker, trends, challenges and opportunities. At the end of each section, we will have a slide that covers those. A review of our capital allocation strategy, which I know is on the minds of many analysts and investors. And then we're going to touch briefly on 2012 and 2013. I know there's a lot of thoughts right now on 2013, and we'd like to try to provide a little more clarity. Be warned, we're not going to give you full guidance. We will provide a little more clarity on how we see ourselves getting to the goals we've set out. So hopefully, that makes sense for everybody.I'm going to start with a little bit of history for those who are not as familiar with the company. 75 years of innovation is the title of the slide. We have over 57,000 products across the 3 reporting segments: Reconstructive, MedSurg, Neurotech and Spine. The slide also serves an additional purpose. If you look in the middle row, at beds and stretchers, and over on your left, the power tools, those 2 products are Dr. Stryker originals. Dr. Stryker invented the first power tool, and he started the company on the basis of the Orthopedic Frame Company. Everything else you see on this slide has come through acquisition. So people who looked at Stryker over the last 3 years have said, "You've become highly acquisitive." The fact of the matter, we've always been an acquiring company. What we've then been able to do is take underrepresented products or underdeveloped products, put them through a great R&D mechanism and execute the heck out of them to take a leadership position in the markets we serve.

"The Gates, Project for Central Park, New York City," by husband-and-wife collaborators Christo and Jeanne-Claude, is a study of a large-scale installation project the couple envisioned. Known for enormous, ambitious environmental works, Christo created "The Gates" in Central Park with 7,500 saffron-hued fabric-draped, 16-feet tall gateways traversing 23 miles of park walkways. "The Gates" represent openings created in the park's stone wall originally intended for steel-gate installation. This preparatory drawing of "The Gates," which is a compelling artwork in its own right, is displayed in New York's Guggenheim Museum.

Monk reminds me that all people have strange idiosyncrasies. I always buckle up in the car. I check with everyone to make sure they have done the same. I can't really explain it, but I know the one time I don't is when bad things will happen to good people.
We have a saying in our family; "Did you Monk it?" which means did you check it? Sometimes we re-Monk it so that we know it was monked properly.
The other day, we were turning to corner, headed to the grocery, when my son yelled from the back seat, "Hey mom did you Monk the trash?" which literally means, did you put up the trash so the dog won't get into it? We u-turned and headed back home, where we Monked the trash, and re-Monked the front door!
We are not weird, eccentric or OCD but careful, structured, precise... just like Monk. So my question to all you Monk fans is, "Did you Monk it?" I did. And it is working just fine, thank you!
Think you deserve the honor of "Monk Fan of the Week"?
Email email@example.com your credentials and tell us which Monk phobia or mystery is your favorite. Include your name and a photo of yourself, and we may feature you right here on the official site!

Biography from the Archives of askART
Gaston D'Illiers was born at Boulogne-sur-Seine, France on 6/26/1876. He was a student of the Count of Ruille and was also a Count himself. He possessed a level of talent sufficient to have his artwork, which consisted primarily of small models of equine bronzes including riding horses, driving horses, military horses, and draft horses, juried into the famous Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France in the early 1900s and he continued to exhibit in art shows until his death in 1952.He was an accomplished rider and his familiarity with horses allowed him to produce anatomically correct horse sculptures. During his lifetime, his horse sculptures were often awarded as prizes at horse shows. In addition to equine art, he also produced several bronze models of dogs.

i want to lower my seat position (height) by an inch lower than the lowest it will allow me to go. i noticed that the seat post is limited by the top screw (of two) embedded across the seat tube. any idea on how to remove this limiting scew (unscrewing it doesnt work, there's another piece inside)?
i was thinking about just cutting the seat post at the bottom by an inch...will that work? i never noticed but there's a warning sign about tampering with the seat post, on the post itself....may i safely disregard that label? any idea on what/where to use to cut the seat post? im sure i can just use a metal cutting saw but i thought there might be an easier way than buying one at home depot. should i just go and find a shorter seat post? thanks for any ideas.

I in UK the movie been aired in UK but the episode not been aired anyway I got into the movie but the stupid country not aired let!
I never actually got around to seeing that movie...or series.
But I think the concept is cute
But I think the concept is cute
Agree with Xiaolin101. I also kinda "like" OOJH. Why do people hate it anyway? it's funny Why cant people hate AB, RB, SB or SF? Those shows are for babie's! As a mater of fact ALL shows on CN are for babies- PPG, GOTJ... The cool ones who are translated now are Fantastic four, Samurai Jack, Megas XLR and OOJH....
I like Out Of Jimmys Head No...I ADORE Out Of Jimmys Head Golly,Dolly and Crocco is soooo cute.
You know, though I'm not a fan of the show, you did these characters REALLY well.
This is very good Mags! ^^ this is the first fanart of them I've ever seen..
if all people are gonna do is bash the show, instead of commenting about the artwork, then please do not say anything.
You're right. Out of Jimmy's Head may be the most hated show on Cartoon Network obviously because of live action elements that are prejudiced by teens and young adults who grew up with the network in the past, but I would prefer to keep the hate comments personal and you did the drawing pretty well.
Geez, sorry.


text: Pennsylvania Scale X31A Round-roof Boxcar #60516 NEWLY TOOLED ROUND-ROOF BOXCARSIn the early 1930s, Pennsylvania developed a new round roof style of boxcar that allowed for a taller 10' inner height and increased overall loading volume.

I may have to quit my job...due to babysitting issues. I saw the other day someone mentioned chacha. Just wondering...if you do it...how much do you make?
I make 2-300 a month doing it at night for a couple hours after DD goes to sleep.
I too make between 200 and 300 a month. I usually only work during naps and have been trying to do more at night to make Christmas money. at 200 I usually work an hour or two a day.

If you text ChaCha (242242) from your cell phone, you can ask any question and they'll text you the answer back. I just found out about it 3 weeks ago and signed up to become a guide because I think the premise is so cool and it's already come in handy for me a few times. I needed a phone number to a car dealership the other day and instead of paying $1 dialing information I texted ChaCha. Since I became a guide 3 weeks ago I've made about $95 just working a couple nights a week and during the weekends.
Mom to Collin (4/5/07)
okay, i just signed up.. it says you make like 10 cents and up per question you answer, but i suppose it adds up if you do a lot. it's a pretty easy process you just gotta watch a couple videos and take a couple tests. i'll get you some more info after i finish up with this orientation process.
♥♫★Nicolle★♫♥ Grant's Mommy
Do you have hours previously set up? Or are you able to just jump on when you have time?
My hours available on the computer varies. I might have an hour here and there throughout the day and then have 4 or 5 hours late evenings.
What can I do if my schedule is changing continually?

It's no particular news that conservatives in Washington continue to raze basic rules and traditions of American governance. When a block of U.S. Senators starts trying to seize authority to conduct U.S. foreign policy from the chief executive, you know things have hit a new low. Still the ongoing stonewalling of Attorney General nominee and North Carolina native Loretta Lynch (which even includes North Carolina's two senators, for crying out loud) is an especially offensive exercise in dysfunction (and maybe something worse).
As Roll Call's David Hawkings writes:
"The most amazing thing about the Loretta Lynch story is that the congressional community no longer views it as amazing….
For essentially the first two centuries under our Constitution, senators afforded the president free rein to stock his Cabinet as he chose, except in the most extraordinary circumstances. Getting over the 'advice and consent' hurdle was about proving competence for public service, demonstrating good manners and keeping your moral nose clean.
It would not have been newsworthy at all — let alone a rationale for disqualification — for an attorney general nominee to take the same position as the president who nominated her in a balance of powers battle with Congress. (In fact, it would have been much more problematic for a nominee to openly break with the president in such a dispute.)"
Now, as Hawkings points out, a majority of Republican senators would deny Lynch the job merely because they disagree with her position of sticking up for the President's immigration policy. They can't even point to some broad ideological divide with the well-respected prosecutor as was the case when some Democrats balked at approving the far-right conservative John Ashcroft back in 2001.
Of course, the elephant in the room of which Hawkings fails to take note is the little matter issue of who and what Lynch is. That is to say, isn't it interesting that Senators feel free to break such extraordinary new ground when it's an African-American president nominating someone who would be the first African-American woman Attorney General?

WASHINGTON – Hard workers have another reason to keep their desk clean as a new study shows employers take habits like organization into account when they promote from within.
The Career Builder survey shows 30 percent of employers would not promote someone if they have a messy desk.
So those extra layers of paper, tchotchke, mugs and pictures could be keeping hard workers from climbing the corporate ladder.
How Messy Are American Workers?
source:MSN Careers
Most workplaces have notorious messy desk offenders. Here at WTOP, WFED's Senior Correspondent Mike Causey holds the top honor. Causey's desk boasts two feet of layered newspaper, packages and printed emails.
If you know someone with a messy desk that rivals Causey's impressive years of layering, send a picture to email@example.com.

Every year, American School Board Journal's Magna Awards honors school boards and school districts across America that are going above and beyond the call of duty, reaching out to their communities and leading for positive change in numerous ways. Read about the recently named 2005 batch of winners and their programs here. Big winners: Miami-Dade County Schools; Metropolitan School District of Warren Township in Indiana; and San Diego City Schools. The winners will be honored at NSBA's annual conference in April.
School Board News
School Board News Today, an online publication of NSBA, provides timely and relevant stories and analysis from NSBA and other news outlets to school board members, administrators, and all others interested in K-12 education.
Articles from March, 2005
A weighty subject
How would your state teachers' union respond to this? A state lawmaker in Hawaii has suggested that state's public school teachers be forced to weigh in as part of the fight against obesity in students. The resolution calls for all public schoolteachers to weigh in every six months. The measure calls for the education and health departments to formulate an obesity standard and appropriate measures for teachers who cannot meet the standard, reports KITV in Honolulu. State Rep. Rida Cabanilla introduced a resolution in the house requesting that the board of education establish an obesity database among public schoolteachers.
"You cannot keep a kid to a certain standard that you yourself are not willing to keep," Cabanilla said. More than 20 percent of Hawaii's children are at risk, or are already overweight, according to the station. There are no statistics on teachers. The Hawaii State Teachers Association objects.
School boards confront student burnout
School boards around the country are taking action to address a serious issue: Burnout and stress among high-achieving students. The school board in Winnetka, Ill., is considering major changes at New Trier High School, where nearly 95 percent of students go on to college. "New Trier, like a number of large, high-performing schools, is beginning to acknowledge that a culture of excellence can have a dark side, and that the push to craft gilded college applications can bring on stress and overscheduling," reports the Christian Science Monitor, in an article that lays out the issues.
The Chicago Tribune reports that the Winnetka school board last week endorsed having administrators study 41 recommendations to address such concerns. Among them: Eliminating class rankings, setting guidelines for homework, and mandating student meetings with counselors beginning in ninth grade to assist students in arranging healthier and saner mix of academic and extracurricular activities. The most controversial suggestion, oddly enough: Mandatory lunch. Some students choose to skip lunch, opting to eat in class, to free up more time to choose other elective classes, such as art and music.
The school board in Palo Alto, Calif., has been addressing similar issues for about three years. Such efforts are deadly serious. "In 2003, there were two suicides at Palo Alto High School," reports the San Jose Mercury News. "But there are many more cases of students developing unhealthy habits—like skipping meals, drinking too much coffee, abusing alcohol—in their drive to succeed, said Mollie Galloway, co-director of Stanford University's Stressed Out Students program." The Stanford Program—called S.O.S.—offers programming and some good resources. "There are two kinds of solutions. Some I call Band-Aids, and some are root changes," Denise Pope of the Stanford program tells Christian Science Monitor. "For some of the schools, it's a huge success just to have conversations about this."
School law answers for NSBA National Affiliates
Board members and administrators of NSBA National Affiliate districts who will be attending NSBA's Annual Conference in San Diego next month have a chance to get some answers to their questions on school law. For the third year running, there will be a special session for National Affiliate members called You Asked! discussing the legal issues they ask about in advance. In the future, a special issue of Leadership Insider, the National Affiliate school law and policy newsletter, will recap the discussion.
To submit questions, National Affiliate board members and employees can click here. Even if you can't make it to San Diego, we want to hear from you. If you're not sure whether your district is a National Affiliate, you can check here.
Schools reaching parents, and vice versa
Black parents are getting involved in their children's schools, in places such as New York City's Harlem neighborhoods, and are making a difference. Here are more examples of parents getting involved in new ways, in Maryland. Online "toolkits" at an Indiana school are aimed at spelling out precise student expectations for parents, and encouraging school-home connections. This group, Parents for Public Schools, is doing good things and, incidentally, has some thoughtful material on parents and school boards. And: This expert makes a good case that parental involvement, along with staff training, are the two keys to a successful anti-bullying strategy.
Lighten up, Dave
Syndicated columnist David Chartrand sees the great education apocalypse, and it is not about student achievement gaps or inabilities to solve various other important challenges. Nope. Chartrand's worries are all about schools making naming rights deals with private firms on sports stadiums. "Only the hopelessly naÃ?¯ve or incurably optimistic can see this leading to anything but trouble," he writes. "As we open the corporate-advertising can of worms, two questions come crawling out. If school districts receive private advertising dollars, whose money is it? Is it public money? Will local patrons have a say over how it's spent? Actually that's three questions. And if you really want to make your neck hurt, imagine the outcry if it turns out school board members or administrators have ties to these new corporate partners." The headline over the column in the Kansas City Star is a bit much: "Advertising makes joke of public education system."
This is all a bit much. Bringing community financial support into public schools can be tricky, and admittedly there are legitimate, difficult issues out there about the commercialization of schools and making sure that boards get the very best deal for kids. Chartrand points out that one school district is considering multi-million dollar promotions. But the apocalypse-is-here stuff is a bit much. School boards are faced with numerous pressures, from pleasing sports-mad communities to tremendous financial shortfalls. Let's find ways to engage the issue without the woe-is-public-education stuff. And here is a great tactic we need to try: Everyone who disagrees with us is either "hopelessly naÃ?¯ve or incurably optimistic."
Merit pay irrelevant in CEO compensation
Merit pay for teachers is a hot issue in the education world. After all, it makes intuitive sense that employees who produce great results be compensated for their exemplary efforts. And the flip side, of course, is relatively less compensation for those who are less exemplary. School boards have been working on better ways to connect performance to compensation, although the fairness questions are very sensitive employee relations issues, especially with budgets so tight.
Aside from the merits of merit pay for teachers, though, it does strike us as curious that in the big money world of Fortune 500 companies, the concept doesn't seem to apply to low-performing CEOs. They often land quite softly thanks to their golden parachutes. We wonder about the enthusiasm for teacher merit pay among some of the business community relative to their attention to matters closer to home. Things that make you go hmmm…
More on Supreme Court ruling
Lots of press today on yesterday's Supreme Court decision on Title IX. In case you missed BoardBuzz's late posting, here it is, with a link back to the points we made when the case was argued. In light of some of the court's opinion and the press coverage, a couple of points bear repeating.
Some accounts, like Nina Totenberg's NPR report, relate Mr. Jackson's version of events without noting that these are allegations and the only version the courts legally can consider at this point in the process. As we've noted, it's a sympathetic account that makes for good drama and inspiring telling. In the end, if the case doesn't settle, the district court may determine that Mr. Jackson's version is true. But since realistically many people form their opinions on the legal questions from the facts at issue, it's at least worth bearing in mind that this is just one side of the story.
Ms. Totenberg also observes that, in ruling for the Birmingham school board, the lower courts in the case broke with "decades" of earlier lower court rulings on such claims. But the point was that more recent Supreme Court holdings pointed in another direction. Although the Supreme Court held that no reasonable school board could have assumed it was "free to retaliate," the school board's argument was about who can sue and when—and the fact that the district court, the appeals courts, and four Supreme Court justices agreed with the board suggests that perhaps the board wasn't so unreasonable for thinking there was a problem with this lawsuit, even if the majority of the Supreme Court ultimately disagreed.
On this "free to retaliate" point, this Salt Lake Tribune piece by Lya Wodraska quotes some Utah coaches as being astonished at the suggestion that someone could be fired for raising a concern. But school employees have powerful legal protections in such situations, even without yet another way to sue. And remember, Mr. Jackson was relieved of coaching duties, not fired from his teaching job.
As NSBA General Counsel Julie Underwood told Scripps Howard's James Brosnan here, school boards have some reason to be concerned about underperforming faculty and coaches who might try to "wrap themselves in Title IX." Bottom line, as she told Knight Ridder's Stephen Henderson in this article: "We're trying to limit the amount of litigation and encourage people to use other avenues, because money spent in court won't be spent in the classroom."
Supreme Court expands Title IX again
The Supreme Court today allowed a Title IX lawsuit go forward, issuing a decision that has some troubling implications for schools. AP coverage here. Ed Week here. This was the case brought by Birmingham, Alabama, teacher Roderick Jackson, who alleges that he was retaliated against for complaining that his girls' basketball team was getting shortchanged compared to the boys' team. Here's what BoardBuzz had to say when the case was argued in November.
The ruling
Writing yet another majority opinion in yet another 5-4 ruling expanding the reach of Title IX, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor basically decided that retaliating against someone for complaining about gender discrimination against somebody else is itself a form of intentional discrimination on the basis of sex. She discounted the school board's argument that Title IX does not expressly permit lawsuits over alleged retaliation, let alone by those who are not the victims of sex discrimination. Those retaliated against are direct victims of sex discrimination, the Court held.
Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the dissenting opinion, which noted that recent Supreme Court opinions had made clear that Congress must unambiguously authorize lawsuits under federal laws like Title IX. "Rather than requiring clarity from Congress," he wrote, "the majority requires clairvoyance from funding recipients."
The disagreement between the majority and the dissent really boils down to this question. The majority decided that because Title IX doesn't enumerate any particular legal claims at all, the more recent rule that the scope of lawsuits must be expressly delineated doesn't apply.
The issue
Marcia Greenberger of the National Women's Law Center, one of Jackson's lawyers, calls the decision "a slam dunk for everyone who cares about equal opportunity." Nice sound bite, but even if you accept her side's legal argument, this assertion is a bit silly. School boards and school administrators care about equal opportunity. NSBA supports Title IX. And incidentally, as former executive director of the American Association of University Women, NSBA Executive Director Anne Bryant is hardly unsympathetic to equity concerns.
The problem, of course, is lawsuits. The Court has created another new path to the courthouse for a new range of plaintiffs, even though Congress was silent on this question and even though Congress also provided a way for complainants to seek administrative enforcement from the federal government and spare everyone the cost of a lawsuit. As NSBA argued and Justice Thomas noted, nothing prevents parents and students from filing Title IX complaints about unfair treatment. Jackson's lawsuit, on the other hand, doesn't even ask for any relief for the girls: it seeks back wages and reinstatement as coach.
The future
More was at stake in this case than Title IX lawsuits. Of even greater concern to NSBA was how the Court's decision may be invoked to argue for new kinds of lawsuits against schools under other federal laws. On this point, there may be a silver lining of sorts: at least the Court does not appear to have endorsed outright the plaintiff's blanket argument that courts should infer that every other non-discrimination statute gives those who are not direct victims of discrimination a right to sue over alleged retaliation.
On the other hand, we'll have to watch what the lawyers and the courts do with this one. School boards should anticipate that plaintiffs' lawyers will attempt to argue that at least some of these other federal laws—those that may be silent on the questions of retaliation lawsuits or indirect victims—are like Title IX and that such lawsuits therefore should be permitted. Stay tuned.

SolarCity To Acquire Paramount Solar As First Step Toward Million Customer Goal
SolarCity Corp. (Nasdaq: SCTY) and Paramount GR Holding, LLC, dba Paramount Equity, today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement for SolarCity to acquire the assets of Paramount Energy Solutions, LLC dba Paramount Solar, a subsidiary of Paramount Equity, in a transaction valued at approximately $120 million. Under the terms of the agreement, SolarCity will acquire the Paramount Solar business for $116.3 million in stock, and the remainder in cash. Paramount Equity CEO Hayes Barnard will join SolarCity as chief revenue officer in charge of the company's sales and marketing organizations upon closing of the acquisition. Paramount Solar, one of SolarCity's most successful channel partners, is majority-owned by Guthy│Renker, the company behind Proactiv Solution and one of the world's leading direct marketing companies. In connection with the acquisition, Ben Van de Bunt, longtime CEO of Guthy│Renker LLC, is expected to join SolarCity's board of directors later this year, subject to nomination procedures and board approval."SolarCity has developed what I believe to be the best field sales and marketing organization in the solar industry. The national residential solar market has been growing between 60-70 percent annually, and we've been growing at twice that rate—144% year over year in the most recent quarter—and had three times the market share of our nearest competitor in 2012," said SolarCity CEO Lyndon Rive. "Now we've found the perfect complement. Hayes Barnard and Guthy│Renker have built what I strongly believe to be the best virtual sales organization in the solar industry, with an extraordinary ability to acquire customers at a low cost. We expect the addition of Hayes, Ben and the Paramount Solar team to help us attain our goal to reach one million customers in the next five years at an even lower cost than was previously possible." SolarCity expects a more significant impact from the acquisition in 2014, but it is updating 2013 guidance to 278 MW to account for Paramount Solar's backlog of uninstalled customers. SolarCity is already the number one full-service solar provider in the nation with more than 3,300 employees, more than 68,000 customers and more than 400 megawatts (MW) deployed. Approximately one in every five new residential solar customers in the U.S. chooses SolarCity, according to data from GTM Research. The company's goal to reach one million customers equates to approximately 6,000 MW deployed, or six gigawatts of total generation capacity.
