Lutherans around the United States have committed to celebrate a Sunday on September (rescheduled for Sept. 21), as "God's Work, Our Hands" Sunday, a day to unite and take on a service project that benefits a community organization trying to benefit others.
Some projects selected benefit hundreds, like food drives. Faith Lutheran has chosen for a second successive year to conduct a barbecue chicken dinner benefit for the Bee County Habitat for Humanity Affiliate, which is committed to building a new home for a Bee County family in the summer of 2015. This home will require sweat equity from the family and will provide a no-interest loan to the selected family. With no interest, payments will be attainable.
The barbecue dinner will be served in the fellowship hall at 1500 East FM 251 or by drive through and will be available from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. It will be a complete meal including dessert. Dine-in diners will also get a choice of iced tea, lemonade or water. The meals are $7.50 each, and tickets are available by calling 361-362-3443, contacting a Habitat board member, or one of several community churches.

turn Balkmen into a PF, Gally into a PF, and Jefferies into left bench
Okay so we traded for Richardson during the 2005-06 season, signed Jeffries in the 2006-07 season, drafted Balkman in 2006, Chandler in 2007 and now Gallinari in 2008.
Although Jeffries can play the 3 or 4 and even the 5 depending on the opponent, we still have 5 SF who can make a good case for playing time.
Richardson may still be the starter just because he thrived in this system when in Phoenix and he was one of the few players that cared on defense last season.
Jeffries is interesting because although he's not a good scorer, he has the ability to stretch the defense and rebound. He can cause mismatch problems for a lot of teams with his size and quickness. Not sure how D'Antoni views him though.
Balkman is a high energy guy who I think fits in great with this new system. Every team needs a guy who will throw their bodies around just to get a rebound or block a shot. His intensity should get him playing time alone.
Chandler is the wildcard here. If he has truly progressed from last season and become more smarter in terms of the NBA game, he should probably get good minutes. The skills were already there, all he needed was confidence to reinforce it.
Gallinari is basically a pro being labeled as a rookie. He's played on a high level since he was about 14 and is one of the most NBA ready players in this year's rookie class. His father has ties to our coach and let's not forget he can flat out score. I believe he gets good rookie minutes next season.
Now I ask all of you Knick fans (and haters), who deserves to share the 48 min/gm? Two of these guys will not get any minutes!
NBA is Soft.
Gallo can easily play PF
Rashard Lewis plays PF full time in Orlando.
and Gallo is much more physical than Lewis.
to be honest with you all, I would not be surprised to see duhon at the pnt some times, with chandler at the 2, DG at the 3 balkman at the 4 and jefferies at the 5 just running for days
Gally Lee and Balkmen at 4, Chandler and Q at 3. Crawford and Nate at 2, Steph and Duhon at 1.. Now what about C? We need to trade either Zach or Eddy, personally I don't care who, because Zach we can get more for, and Eddy we get less, but Eddy's much worse.
The fact that Jefferies is an awful shooter makes it hard to keep him, if he improves on his shooting he would be a good player because of his ability to play multiple positions and guard them.
But shooting is what kills him, from everywhere; FT, Close Range, Long Range, Midrange. The man has no range.
In my opinion Q-Rich should be the odd man out, but he is untradable. He is the oldest and slowest so it's time for the new blood to do their thing. Balkman has to show something because he has stiff competition. Jefferies just for D I guess and because Isaiah gave him such a ridiculous contract must stay.
I honestly think Chandler or Gallo can occasionally play SG, T-Mac is mad tall and plays that position well.
If Randolph doesn't get traded than he is the starting PF.
There is talent on this roster but no chemistry. Let's c what happens.

It's been mentioned in several threats. Does anyone know where I can find more infomration on the topic? (I am lookiing for details... e.g. which foods are appropriate to start with, bite size for the recommended foods, etc). So far, I have only found an overview article, but nothing that really tells me how to go about it.
Thanks for your suggestions!

PowerShares EQQQ Nasdaq-100 UCITS ETFaims to replicate the Nasdaq-100 Index. The Index includes 100 of the largest domestic and international nonfinancial companies listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market based on market capitalization. The portfolio is rebalanced quarterly and reconstituted annually.
Total Returns are based on the closing market price. Past performance is not an indication of future performance, provides no guarantee for the future and is not constant over time. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than performance data quoted. ETF performance is net of TER, while index performance is gross of fees. Investors cannot buy an index directly.
This marketing document is directed at Professional Clients in France only and is not for consumer use.
Where Invesco PowerShares has expressed views and opinions, these may change without notice. The price of ETFs and any income will fluctuate, this may partly be the result of exchange rate fluctuations, and investors may not get back the full amount invested. Past performance is not an indication of future performance, provides no guarantee for the future and is not constant over time. Whilst an ETF will seek to track an Index, Invesco PowerShares does not guarantee that this will occur. When making an investment in an ETF you are buying shares in a company that is listed on a stock exchange. The price of the shares will be determined by supply and demand.

However, supply and demand in the shares on the relevant exchange together with any disruptions to creations and redemptions of units in the underlying fund may result in share prices that differ significantly from the NAVs and there can be no certainty that there will be liquidity in the shares on any exchange. Only Authorised Participants, as defined in the Full Prospectus of the ETF, can request the Manager to create and redeem units in the underlying fund. Any investment in an ETF should be made on the basis of the relevant Full Prospectus, KIIDs and Supplement, including consideration of the investment objective, risks, charges and expenses.

Exhibit focuses on organic farmsFebruary 27,2013
Staff Report
MONTPELIER — A two-year collaboration involving an agricultural writer and a farmer-photographer has produced a museum-ready exhibit on organic farming in Vermont.
"Plowing Old Ground: Vermont's Organic Farming Pioneers" is a mix of words and pictures compiled by Susan Harlow and John Nopper that will be on display at the Vermont History Museum on State Street in Montpelier starting next month.
The March 16 opening, which will be from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m., will include a reception and short talks by the exhibit's creators. Harlow is the woman behind the narratives produced from kitchen table interviews with people who helped get the organic ball rolling here in Vermont. Nopper took the black-and-white photographs.
Together they tell the stories of six working Vermont farms and their farmers. Two in central Vermont — Joey Klein of Littlewood Farm in Plainfield and Bruce Kaufman of Riverside Farm in Hardwick — are highlighted. The exhibit also features Vermont's first officially certified organic farmer, Howard Prussack of High Meadows Farm in Putney.
Others featured in the exhibit are Jack and Anne Lazor of Butterworks Farm in Westfield, Paul Harlow of Harlow Farm in Westminster and Jake and Liz Guest of Killdeer Farm in Norwich. It also includes images and comments by writer and organic farming advocate Samuel Kaymen.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

The Republic of China Not on Some Maps
It is interesting to see if maps show Taiwan, in reality the Republic of China, as an independent country or not. Microsoft's Bing does not, Yahoo Maps does, Google Maps does, and National Geographic has a weird hybrid answer of giving Taiwan the labels of an independent country while having it be the same color as the People's Republic of China. The United Nations does not recognize the Republic of China as a legitimate government while the United States and many other countries officially deny Taiwan being policatlly separate from Beijing's People's Republic of China while allowing open business and government ties between themselves and the Republic of China.
The problem lies with both the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China laying claim to each other's territory. The Republic of China does not claim Taiwan is independent but instead claims control of all of China with Taiwan being its temporary base. Before the 1970s international opinion was in favor of the Republic of China but since then the balance has been in the Communist's People's Republic favor ever since. Now only a handful of Pacific island states, Latin American countries, and the Vatican recognize the Republic of China as the legal ruler of all of China.
Strangely there is an Asian counter part to two government laying claim to each other. Both the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) and the Republic of Korea (South Korea) claim to be the sole government of a Korean state streaching from the Yalu River in the north to the Korean Strait in the south. These two states have long been treated as two separate countries by most other countries in maps and diplomacy. However, I have seen maps from the height of the Cold War showing Germany as one country with a dotted line between East and West (both the German Democratic Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany claimed each one was the sole valid state for all of Germany) and I also saw the dotted line dividing Vietnam in many maps during the Vietnam War. What separates the Koreas from the cartographic rules which favored the Germanys and Vietnams is beyond me.
Tel Aviv: Jerusalem is the Capital of Israel
I once watched a news report on the revolution in Egypt. The reporter ended her report by saying Egypt was waiting for a response from Tel Aviv. She meant Egypt was waiting for a response from the Israeli government but the government of Israel has not be seated in Tel Aviv since 1949. The reason for this weird statement is because no country, including the United States, recognizes Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
The reason for this is complex. An old English-language Soviet atlas I have states Jerusalem is not Israel's capital because Jerusalem was not given to the Jewish state by the United Nations in it's proposal for a Jewish and a Palestinian state. The argument currently has shifted to most states not recognize Israel's control of the eastern half of Jersualem (itself occupied by Jordan during the late 1940s) or the 1980 law which formally united both halves of Jerusalem and formally declared a (re-)united Jerusalem as Israel's capital. The latter argument ignores Israel moving the capital to Jerusalem in 1949 and west Jerusalem being in the pre-1967 borders of Israel.
While the CIA World Factbook is accurate in saying Jerusalem is the capital while giving a caveat, Canada's "Factsheet" leaves the capital line blank. Strangely though all major western maps show Jerusalem as Israel's capital despite not one country (zero!) officially recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company expects its revenues to reach the level of 2008 already next year. Besides, the head of the company claims that the global chip market will recover in 2011. This is the second time Morris Chang, chief executive of TSMC, revises his market forecast this year.
Mr. Chang said on Monday that the TSMC's sales in 2010 will surpass revenues for 2008, inline, or even a bit ahead with the recovery of the industry. Still, in general, the chip market would return to the 2008 level in 2011, according to Morris Chang, reports DigiTimes web-site. Even though TSMC's recent purchases of production equipment do indicate that the chip industry is recovering, the head of TSMC outlined that the industry was getting better from a quick drop in the second half of 2008, and many sectors had yet to see their shipments return to the 2008 levels.
Earlier this month TSMC announced its net sales for September 2009: on an unconsolidated basis, net sales were approximately NT$28.02 billion ($866.858 million), a decrease of 3% from August 2009 and a decrease of 0.8% from September 2008. Revenues for January through September 2009 totaled NT$196.75 billion ($6.086 billion), a decrease of 24.6% compared to the same period in 2008.
On a consolidated basis, net sales for September 2009 were approximately NT$28.94 billion ($895.321 million), a decrease of 3.0% from August 2009 and a decrease of 1.3% from September 2008. Revenues for January through September 2009 totaled NT$203.65 billion ($6.3 billion), a decrease of 24.2% compared to the same period in 2008.

Pomegranates and Figs: Musical treats for the holidays
An entire generation of East Bay Jews has grown up celebrating Hanukah with Kaila Flexer. Since launching Klezmer Mania! at the Julia Morgan Theater in 1989, the Oakland violinist has produced an annual Jewish music event that brings an international array of talent to local stages. She serves up the fourth version of "Pomegranates & Figs: A Feast of Jewish Music" at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday Dec. 15 at Freight & Salvage.
Opening with a menorah lighting to celebrate the last night of Hanukah, the triple bill with Berkeley's Veretski Pass, a klezmer power trio, the string-centric Oakland Folkharmonic, and the blazing Balkan brass ensemble Inspector Gadje. The evening always ends with an all-hands-on-deck finale.
"Each year has its own flavor," says Flexer, whose primary musical vehicle in recent years is her extraordinary Near Eastern duo with Berkeley string wizard Gari Hegedus. "We've been rehearsing in various combinations, which is how it ought to be with musicians living in close proximity. I'm not so interested in throwing things together." … Continue reading »

Illinois schools encourage healthy eating under federal fresh fruit & vegetable program
25 schools receive a total of $250,000 to encourage students to eat more fruits & vegetables; Students will have access to more healthy eating choices – inside and outside the classroom
SPRINGFIELD — The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) announced today that 25 schools statewide will receive more than $250,000 to buy additional fresh fruits and vegetables for students during the 2008-2009 school year. The federally funded Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program (FFVP) is designed to increase the consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables by students.
"One of the most important lessons we can teach our students is the importance of a healthy lifestyle, including good nutrition and plenty of exercise," said State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch. "This program can have a significant, lifelong impact on our students."
The federal program provides all students in participating schools access to a variety of free fresh fruits and vegetables throughout the school day. It allows schools to make available the additional produce anytime during the regular school day – both inside and outside the cafeteria. The idea is to expose students to lifelong healthy eating habits. For example, schools can incorporate nutrition education into numerous daily classroom activities such as math, health, geography and science, by developing lesson plans involving fruits and vegetables.
According to the Fruits & Vegetables – More Matters, a public health initiative sponsored by Produce for Better Health Foundation (PBH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over half of all elementary students nationwide eat no fruit on any given day and one-quarter of all vegetables eaten by elementary students are French fries. The national initiative encourages children and adults alike to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommends children eat at least one-and-half cups of fruits and two-and-a-half cups of vegetables everyday.
The USDA first piloted the program in 2002 and it was recently expanded to include all states for the 2008-2009 school year. More than 50 schools statewide applied for the program. Each school will be reimbursed on a monthly basis for allowable expenses up to the school's total awarded amount. The fresh produce purchased under this program cannot be used to replace fruits or vegetables already being served to students at breakfast or lunch.
The 25 schools participating in the program are:
- Akin Community Consolidated Elementary School, Akin CCSD 91
- Allendale Elementary School, Allendale CCSD 17
- Bent Elementary, Bloomington District 87
- Bethalto West Elementary, Bethalto CUSD 8
- Brookwood Middle School, Brookwood SD 167
- Bushnell-Prairie City Elementary, Bushnell-Prairie City CUSD 170
- DeSoto Elementary School, Desoto CCSD 86
- Fairmont School, Fairmont School District 89
- Highland Elementary School, Elgin U-46
- Inter-American Magnet School, Chicago District 299
- Jonesboro Elementary School, Jonesboro CCSD 43
- MacArthur Early Childhood Center, Macomb Unit District 185
- Meridian Elementary School, Meridian CUSD 101
- Namaste Charter School, Chicago District 299
- Nashville Grade School, Nashville CCCD 49
- Nokomis South Middle School, Nokomis Unit 22
- Oak Terrace Elementary School, North Shore School District 12
- Peoria Heights Grade School, Peoria Heights CUSD 325
- Princeton Christian Academy, Princeton Christian Academy
- Princeville Elementary School, Princeville Community Unit SD 326
- Ringwood School Primary Center, Johnsburg District 12
- South Central Elementary School, South Central CUSD 401
- South Elementary School, Wabash CUSD 348
- Veterans Memorial Middle School, Cook County School District 130
- Wayne City Elementary School, Wayne City Unit District 100

Hundreds of fish suffocated in the water at Honolulu Harbor Monday. The Department of Health received the call to investigate a spill around 9 a.m., but it appears there's not much it can do to quickly return the water to pre-spill condition.
The scene in the water at Pier 38 looked chocolate brown and fish were seen struggling to stay alive.
"It seemed like they were trying to gasp for air, we saw Menpachi and Aweoweo," said Sachi Uehara, who witnessed the effects of the spill.
Palani and Weke were among the fish that died as well. Uehara said all kinds fish were swimming up to shore looking for an escape.
"There were I would say over 50 eels that were up at the surface that we could see," said Uehara.
"We have an unprecedented event here, I don't think anyone in Hawaii has had to deal with this here, certainly not in this century," said Gary Gill, Department of Health deputy director.
The Department of Health says it cannot confirm what kind of spill this is or where it started but it does have an idea.
"A vessel that was in the harbor earlier and left before sunrise was loaded with molasses, and it may have spilled during the loading operation or from the vessel itself," said Gil.
The Department of Land and Natural Resources said that Matson had self-reported a molasses spill. The DOH says the affected water spans over half of Honolulu Harbor.
"It looks like the oxygen is being removed from the harbor waters and the fish are dying because of lack of oxygen," says Gill.
A crew from the Pacific Environmental Corporation removed many of the dead fish along the shoreline. As for clean up, the plan is unclear.
"There's probably not much that we can do in terms of clean up other that hoping the natural tides and winds clean out the harbor over the next couple days," said Gill.
The DLNR is warning boaters and fishers to keep out of Keehi Lagoon waters. That's where the current appears to be moving the spilled substance to.

September 3, 2013 —
Monticello Police arrested Maceo Jones (43) of Monticello on Thursday 8/29/13. Jones was charged with felony criminal possession of a controlled substance in the 5th degree, misdemeanor criminal possession of controlled substance in the 7th degree and violation trespass.
At 10:00 PM Thursday Monticello Police responded to a reported dispute at the Evergreen Drive-Housing Complex in the village of Monticello. Responding officers observed Jones walking away from the scene of the dispute.
Officers then arrested Jones for trespass, as they were aware that Jones had been previously served a trespass affidavit by the Monticello housing authority prohibiting him from being at the Evergreen Drive Housing Complex property.
After being arrested Jones was found to be in possession of .8 grams of crack cocaine and 7 decks of heroin. Jones was arrested before village of Monticello justice Josephine Finn and remanded to the Sullivan county jail without bail pending further court action.

Nitrication and Denitrification/process &equipment used
I am a college student looking for some information on the process of nitrification and denitrification. I don't understand all of the process. I usually am more of a hands on learner so books don't provide the visual , physical atmosphere for me. I have been on 5 treatment tours. And I have seen how each plant does have it's unique style of operation. As I go through each plant it does bring up various questions but i forget to ask about Nirtification and Denitrifiaction.
So if anyone can help explain this process and what you think is needed for equipment used,what happensin this process, that would be great. Another question I have is for the equipment used, do they get affected by the process or other eleiments? And what is invovled for maintenance for the equipment, or tanks, pumps and how often?
I know I am asking a lot. i would be happy to take another tour of a plant but, it's really, really cold and snowy now. I have to wait until spring.
Thanks M.B.
Our plant is getting a MLE process (Nitrification/Denitrification)
I will use my local reporter explanation: Bugs (bacteria) without carbon food but lot's of oxygen will eat ammonia and make nitrate
Bugs with carbon food but no oxygen will strip oxygen from nitrate/ nitrite until nitrogen gas
is formed.
MLE -First tank is anoxic (no oxygen, maybe a little) bugs eat carbon. Second tank is oxic (has oxygen), has ammonia, but no carbon food and while some of the bugs flow to the clarifier, most are being recirculated to the first tank.
Since most bugs will use oxygen to eat carbon if they have the chance, the first tank has to get rid of the carbon food and the second tank has to make the oxygen source (nitrate) for the first.
Now draw a picture
Hey Thanks, I think I can connect the dots now!
What would you say is the most important duties a operator should due to keep the plants process of Nitrification and Denitrification are?
During your experiences in this field, have you ever encounters of RBC before? I haven't been to plant that has one and I have questions about those.
Thanks for that Mike, very helpful little explanation. I think I saw a diagram for this a while a go from searching on Google but can't seem to find it. Thanks for refreshing my memory.

I've ran into a couple of situations where I don't know how to safely store my milk. Here they are:
1) I pumped a full serving of milk and left in the fridge for my hubby to use while I was out for a couple of hours. When I had returned, my baby was still sleeping and hadn't awakened to eat. However, in wanting to be ready for when she would wake up, my hubby took the milk from the fridge and warmed it in a cup of hot water, and left it on the counter, untouched. It hadn't been on the counter for long by the time I got home. I decided there was no sense in using it since I was home and could just nurse her. I wanted to go ahead and add it to the freezer supply. Could I have done so even after my hubby had warmed it? I wasn't sure, so I simply just put it in the fridge and used it later that evening when we went out to dinner. Didn't want it to go to waste, but didn't want to freeze it not knowing if it would be safe.
2) How do I safely transport previously frozen and thawed EBM? When we go out, we will pull a bag or two of frozen EBM, run them under water until they get to room temp (not warm), then pour them into bottles. (We don't always know ahead of time to thaw a bag of frozen EBM in the fridge for thawing, so we thaw under running water.) We'll put the room temp bottles in the insulated pocket of our diaper bag. Should we actually be thawing the milk just enough to where it's still cold, and put a cold pack in with the cold bottles? Or are we okay to thaw them to room temp like we've been doing and travel for a few hours without a cold pack? I read that fresh EBM is okay at room temp for several hours, but I'm not so sure about previously frozen and thawed EBM. There are situations (like in a packed church service) where we usually pull a bottle out for our baby without going to find hot water to heat it up. Does this make sense? I don't think it's hurting her to do this, but I need to make sure and I need to know how many hours I can travel with thawed, room temp milk.


text: FINAL DAYS? jaxx89 posted:7/16/2014 3:19:29 PM Animal apocalypse, famine, disease, weather unlike we have ever seen before, Israel at the forefront, and that's just what I can remember off the top of my head of the signs around the world which all point to the same conclusion....The Final Days. When the Jews were given Israel in 1948, they were attacked on all sides. It was called the 6 Day war. To every ones amazement they defeated their enemies and reclaimed their nation. However in doing so a prophecy written over two thousand years ago, was no longer a bible story, but a fact. It didn't stop there either, Euphrates river has dried up, animals all over the world are washing ashore dead with no real reason behind their deaths, birds falling out of the skies, disease and famine are running ramped through out countries. Weather which may or may not be caused by HAARP or the government, is still becoming more and more destructive every year. People are growing more and more dependent on technology every day without asking what the consequences are? Soon, very soon we may need technology implanted into our bodies just to buy or sell. Could this be the mark of the beast the bible tell us about? It sounds like it to me. I can not claim to be a religious person, I still see myself as a person of questions instead of a person of faith. However researching the happenings surrounding biblical prophecies around the world, has not only scared me pale, its also opened my eyes to the very real possibility that this could be Gods work. On the other side of that coin is this. Have we as a human race subconsciously set things in motion which we were warned about? Either way the coin falls the result still looks to becoming out the same...THE END.bobprin posted:7/16/2014 5:31:43 PM People experience the end of the world everyday. Because when you die, for you it's the end of the world. Good luck with that, but there have been so many ends of the world and it just plain didn't happen. No sense in worrying about things you can't control.jaxx89 posted:7/16/2014 11:22:48 PM In Reply To:bobprin posted:7/16/2014 5:31:43 PM People experience the end of the world everyday.

However saying that the bible also depicts specific detailed signs to warn the wise of what is happening. Which the wicked will be blind to. I don't know when the world is going to end. All I'm saying is wake up and pay attention to what's going on. I'm merely asking a question is it POSSIBLE.bobprin posted:7/17/2014 8:28:48 AM Of course it's possible. Prophecy can be very difficult especially about the future. With all the global warming and increasing storm intensity I can see where people can be a little nervy. However, the geological record clearly shows a natural tendency of climate changes. If I were the planet I would strive to eradicate humans just like we treat ticks, leeches and viruses. As far as the bible goes, keep your mind flexible.gary107 posted:7/18/2014 8:10:46 AM perhaps, this is just God's way of saying "Do not fly Malaysian Air?"bobprin posted:7/20/2014 4:54:16 AM Ha, good one Gary.

Product Questions
The optimal PSI is between 50 and 65 for a single 75 GPD membrane. Higher will more less rejection and slightly shorter life span and lower will mean more rejection. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions.
Ideally the membrane will last around 2 years. You will be able to see with a TDS meter on the IN section. The ro should reduce around 99% (with a single membrane) and bring your TDS on the In to around 0-10. If on the single membrane it is higher than 10 after running the unit you will want to consider a replacement. With the water saver version dual membrane the IN TDS will be a little bit higher closer to 5-15 TDS. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
Overall they will function on the same process of TFC however certain membrane which are High Silica can last longer due to the negative effect of silica. The difference between the membrane is not that one will remove more or less rather the life span of the membrane for a specific application. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
A new membrane can be stored for quite a bit of time. The manufacturer puts a preservative on the surface of the membrane which can keep good for quite some time (2+ years). That is they recommend discarding any water produced for the first hour or two when it is first installed. Storage for the membrane should be kept in a cool dry place with a steady temperature.
We have found using the system after Water Softener will improve the life of the unit and membrane. This will not cause the unit to clog any faster than normal. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
Membranes are a standard size so they will fit in any unit. Just make sure that if you change the speed of the membrane you also change the size of your flow restrictor to match.
The RO membrane will remove around 97-90% of the TDS for a good range after flushing this should be typically between 000-010 however it can be higher with poor source water quality. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
Most membranes will be a universal physical size and work in all units. You will need to make sure the GPD rating is the same. If they are not the same you will need to change the flow restrictor on the waste water line to a 75 GPD flow restrictor. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
These membranes are recommended for 50-75 PSI the maximum mount we typically see during flushing is 80 with no negative effect. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
The membranes last quite a long time, typically 3-5 years though if you treat them well (vigilant on changing your pre-filters on time, etc) they can last even longer.
That sounds pretty typical. It is higher at first because of tds creep and will lower as it runs. Non-exhausted DI resin should give you 0 TDS coming out. The membrane itself will typically last 3-5 years, sometimes even much longer. DI resin doesn't really have a "normal" as it is completely dependent on your source water. Monitor the TDS and when it begins to go above 0 then it is time to change the resin. We use a color changing DI resin so this should also coincide with the resin turning from a dark blue/black color to a gold/yellow color.
The unit can handle up to 80psi without issue and it does perform better at higher water pressure. I would go ahead and run it at the 80psi, there isn't any reason not to and performance will only go up.
If you change the size of the membrane without changing the flow restrictor to the proper size your unit will have the incorrect amount of waste water. It will either have too little water which would damage the membrane or too much water, which is just a waste of water (and could decrease pressure). The housings for the membranes themselves are universal. The membrane is what changes the output, though there are some other factors such as water pressure and temperature that do as well.

75 GPD MEMBRANE (99% REJECTION RATE) Hands down the best membrane for our hobby.
Compatible with all RO systems
FILMTEC reverse osmosis membrane elements for home drinking water are the industry's most reliable. Advanced membrane technology and automated fabrication allow these elements to deliver consistent performance that equipment suppliers, water treatment dealers, and residential customers can rely on. FILMTEC elements are shipped dry for convenient handling and long shelf-life. These elements are NSF/ANSI Standard 58 listed. Equipment suppliers can take advantage of FilmTec's Standard 58 listing and participation in the NSF Data Transfer Protocol to reduce costs for reduction claims for their systems.
- Rated at 50 psi
- Will purify about 20% more water than competitive elements rated at 60 psi
1. Permeate flow and salt rejection based on the following test conditions: 250 ppm softened tap water, 77°F (25°C), 50 psi (3.4 bar), and 15% recovery.
2. Permeate flow rates for individual elements may vary +/-20%.
Doing its Job By Randy on 11/9/2016Randy would recommend this product to a friendI purchased this to replace my old 100gpd and decided to do the 150gpd upgrade kit. I also added the Dual DI Canister and boy am I satisfied. I'm producing 240gpd and couldn't ask for anything more. I love it and wish I would have made the switch earlier.
Good quality and does the job By Trailjammer on 10/12/2016Trailjammer would recommend this product to a friendEasy to install. The original in the BRS Stage 4 kit has lasted for years. So we will see how long this one lasts.
Performs well By Christopher on 9/8/2016Christopher would recommend this product to a friendDrops supply water from approximately 150ppm to 3ppm for a solid 18 months. Got 2 years from the same membrane that came with the BRS RO/DI kit but only 18 months from the last 2 replacements. No change in supply water quality and I use the membrane flush kit regularly.
Don't use with Spectrapure MaxCap 90 By John on 8/29/2016John wouldn't recommend this product to a friendTried this with my Spectrapure MaxCap 90. Was getting about 30 GPD. Tried different restrictors, including a ball valve to adjust flow to any level. The most I could get was about 75ml per minute which is 28.5G in 24 hours. BRS tech advice was to try their 550ml restrictor barrel but no guarantees. Not sure how it could get from 30 gpd to 75 gpd. If you try and it produces 75 gpd let me know. It could have been a bad membrane but the tech didn't think so. 2 stars because maybe it actually produces 75 gpd with the BRS RODI kit. It just doesn't do it with the Spectrapure.
Easy to change By MaLi on 8/14/2016MaLi wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI changed my membrane for the first time last night, it only took a few minutes. The BRS guide was extremely helpful and made changing it out even easier.
RO Membrane By Chuck on 8/5/2016Chuck wouldn't recommend this product to a friendits always a good idea to replace with the rest of the filters
Awesome membrane By Mopar1187 on 7/20/2016Mopar1187 wouldn't recommend this product to a friendAwesome product wouldn't expect anything less from best. Always been my good to place..
Great product By Gary on 7/1/2016Gary would recommend this product to a friendGreat product at a great price.
Excellent! By Schwaggs on 4/18/2016Schwaggs would recommend this product to a friendI replaced my tired RO membrane with this one and am very happy! Output and water quality is great! Made 500 gallons with is recently and the output water from this membrane was so clean, it didn't even consume a single DI resin cartridge!
Best bang for buck By Pat on 3/23/2016Pat would recommend this product to a friendIt is the cheapest place to get a RO membrane for the price. If it's labeled for aquarium use they're usually twice the price but the price at BRS is even cheaper than the membranes at my local water purification store
perfect membrane, great price! By Rey on 3/17/2016Rey would recommend this product to a friendGreat price, free shipping and on a quality product, thx BRS!
Great product By adam on 2/16/2016adam would recommend this product to a friendGreat product at a great price! way to go BRS!

Long Distance Grandparenting: How to Keep in Touch
If your family is one of the millions in America today who are separated by hundreds - even thousands - of miles, you know that day-to-day grandparenting is pretty close to impossible. According to the Census Bureau, Americans move around so often for a variety of reasons. Some people relocate because they need to; to make a living or because of health concerns. Others move because they want to; to retire or go on an adventure. Because certain regions of the country attract people who specialize in certain industries (Hollywood for the film industry, Silicon Valley for the computer industry and New York for the financial industry, just to name a few), we are a nation constantly on the move.
However, while distance may have an adverse affect on the closeness of a family, especially in a grandparent-grandchild relationship, there are ways to overcome the difficulties distance can impose on these relationships. No matter how far you live from your grandchildren, it is possible to maintain a strong attachment across the miles. Below are a few tips to help you make the most of these long-distance relationships.
For more information on ways to stay close to your grandchildren, check out these great resources:

I tell ya what Crazy talk it and thats the Quas Dunks!!!
Like I said on Quas's MySpace blog.....
"I love quas and I love dunks (as seen on my page) but these shoes are kinda "eh"....I'd buy them anyway just because....c'mon it's quas. But you'd think a Quas shoe would be way more colorful. I think Nike needs to try again. That's just me though. *shrug*"

NEVERMIND after the De la lows I don't even wanna see
In all honesty, I haven't bought a sneaker in a good 3 or 4 months which is SHOCKING!! but Nike hasn't moved me.
The last kicks I purchased were those Valentine 97's because I have some sort of wicked fetish for polka dot stuff and hello kitty. I prolly should have got those Footpatrol 90's but I passed.
That's why the 'Ode to Shoes' has been on hiatus (besides the board being down). BUT I encourage to keep it going because it was started circa 02 for shoe whores like myself
I guess what I'm saying is I'm passing the torch to those who feel or are more inspired than I am right now (i.e Ern). I will still maintain my duties as CSEO (chief shoe executive officer....I just made that up ) and random poster.
Until then back to you, Skip

Those blazers are killin' it! i've always liked dark colored blazers...

Posted 04 September 2006 - 04:22 PM
those lime and black dunks are dope.....i didn't think they came out until late 06 early 07 though.
Posted 04 September 2006 - 04:34 PM
I'll be waiting for the Day Of The Deads. I hope they come in my size...
Posted 04 September 2006 - 10:31 PM
Don't those blue Blazers glow in the dark? I think I saw them in kickclusive or something....not bad
The more I look, I dunno about those "Dios de Muerte" joints those multi-color skeletons on the side are a turnoff. They not doin it for me
I heard DQM's were re-released? For like 2 hunned ........HAHAHAHA
Posted 05 September 2006 - 07:32 AM
Ern, I thought those were dubbed Carhartts because of the colorway? Don't they come in black too?
I heard DQM's were re-released? For like 2 hunned ........HAHAHAHA
nope....the carhartt's are a little darker and the canvas and the midsole is all the same color, but yes they do come in black. and the dqm's were re-released but they can fuck off with that $200 jazz.
they have a pair of white canvas dunks with a gum sole but i think they only made like 100 pairs or something crazy....they may be medicoms but i'm not sure.
Posted 05 September 2006 - 10:15 AM
I like few of these
Posted 05 September 2006 - 11:58 AM
I don't think those are medicoms...aren't those them Tokyo dunks or something. I heard there like a grip some SUPER DUPER LIMITED EXCLUSIVE joints.
LOL those are some dirt magnets they can have them but ( there sexy canvas) but still........
I guess I'm out of the dunk loop. I don't know what is what anymore..........DAMN!
O' correction: the DQM's were some old back stock joints from the first release...DAMN!!! 2 hunned that's fucked up. I got mine for like 90 bucks.
Those lower left Brazil ones are cool.....I still wouldn't mind getting my hands on Brazil low co.jps
Posted 05 September 2006 - 03:27 PM
man they probably just went to nikeID and ID'd some 90s and called them bacons LOL.
Posted 05 September 2006 - 08:59 PM
I looove the orange. :wub:
It's so bright on the actual shoe than in pictures.
Posted 06 September 2006 - 10:00 AM
man they probably just went to nikeID and ID'd some 90s and called them bacons LOL.
Word on the street, Dave had some backstock left from the first release so he just waited until they hyped up and re-released them. Pretty smart yet fucked up. Can't knock the man's hustle ...........
I wouldn't be suprised if you start seeing alot of stuff "re-release" aka Nike pulling some old backstock that they didn't put out during the first release and charge a grip for it. Like I heard the Tiffany SB's (which I wanted strickly for colorway purposes, quality is garbage ) might suddenly "re-release" and some other old goodies might pop back up. Don't be suprise, these kids are willing to pay they will do it for a buck.
I still haven't ID'd yet....
Posted 06 September 2006 - 03:45 PM
PRO: It puts these fags buying like 10 pairs and reselling them on ebay in their places. It's not cool when you buy shoes only to hike the price and resell them.
re-release of:
De La Hi's
Incredible Hulks
and many others.
CON: It's a slap in the face for diehard collectors like me that call stores and wait patiently....and mark days off on the calendar and call and bug the hell out of the people who work at stores/skateshops like "are they out yet....are they out yet?.....did the shipment come in?" and work hard to get their pair of kicks. Now if people miss one boat...they can catch the next one.
OFF THE SUBJECT....Have you seen the Bling Pack 90s and Dunks?
Posted 06 September 2006 - 06:58 PM
I'll give you a perfect example, the DQM's were first release they were going for MSRP and even lower in some cases. That's because when they were released some other SB had captured everyone's attention, I think the Reagans. So the price of DQM fell because the demand wasn't high you could easily find them and cop for about $80-$100 in some spots lower. No hype. But after the Infared were re-release 90's began to get shine and everyone wanted all the old 90's thus the Bacon's were on everyones grail list causing hype prices were $200+. All DQM did was cash in on the hype he didn't have before, a hustle. HYPE KILLS!!!
Posted 10 September 2006 - 01:21 PM
i saw those shoes before and i was like "eh"....
i wish someone would do an "official" dilla shoe....a dilla dunk....that would be dope.

News Detail
Fisher Team Takes Third Place in Adirondack Cup Investment Competition
A team of St. John Fisher College accounting students claimed third place in the 2013 Adirondack Cup, a competition during which college teams compete against each other over six months to build and grow a small cap portfolio of stocks, just like the professionals at Adirondack Small Cap Mutual Fund (ADKSX). The Fisher team accepted the award at a luncheon on Thursday, April 25.
The competition is sponsored by the advisor to the Guilderland, N.Y.-based mutual fund, an owner-managed fund recognized in 2011 and 2013 by Lipper Inc. as the best small cap value mutual fund in the U.S. for the three-year period from 2008 to 2010 and the five-year period from 2008 to 2012, respectively.
Students from 18 colleges and universities across the Northeast participated in this unique competition, managing a hypothetical small cap portfolio of stocks valued at $1 million. The goals of the competition, which is in its second year, are to teach students the difference between trading stocks and thinking through their investment decisions for the long-term and to help them make appropriate connections in the financial services sector as they prepare to enter the job market. The winning team was Siena College of Loudonville, N.Y.
At the start of the competition in October 2012, students were expected to do their research, create a thesis on their stock picks, and determine investments and allocation by October 14. Each portfolio had to include a hypothetical $1 million invested in five small cap stocks (defined as companies with market caps between $50 million and $3 billion). Each of the five stock picks had to be from a different industry, and each holding had to be at least five percent but no more than 50 percent of the portfolio. Teams were allowed to make changes to their portfolio only twice during the contest period.
"We have a strong network of clients, particularly in the Northeast, who have been actively tracking the performance of students from their favorite schools. This has given the students a great opportunity to build their contacts as they enter the workforce," said Adirondack Principal Steve Gonick.
The other colleges participating in the competition were Binghamton University, Bryn Mawr College, Clarkson University, The College at Brockport, The College of Saint Rose, Hofstra University, Ithaca College, Rochester Institute of Technology, State University of New York at Geneseo, State University of New York at Plattsburgh, St. Lawrence University, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook University Graduate School, Union College, University at Albany, and Wesleyan University.
The Adirondack Small Cap Fund was launched in April 2005 and has enjoyed strong growth. It has approximately $115 million in assets under management today.

CNJ Staff Photo: Kevin Wilson Zia guard Tori Northcutt strips a loose ball from Southwestern Oklahoma State's Tobey Beer in the second half of Monday's game at Greyhound Arena. Northcutt had six steals in Eastern New Mexico's 59-53 victory.
By Kevin Wilson: CNJ Staff Writer
When Cat Clay wasn't knocking down big shots, her teammates were more than willing to give her another chance.
Clay scored 13 points, including three points on a key possession
late, to help Eastern New Mexico University post a 59-53 win over
Southwestern Oklahoma State Monday night at Greyhound Arena.
The Zias (9-7) held off a strong second-half challenge from the
Bulldogs, and needed an extended possession late to seal matters.
With 2:04 to go and a 52-50 lead to protect, both Til-Lois Fifer and
Clay missed second free throw attempts. Twice the Zias were able to
keep the possession alive with offensive rebounds.
"One of Til-Lois' jobs is offensive rebounding," Clay said. "I know
she saved my butt on that last free throw I ended up missing."
Clay made the most of her second chance, knocking down a left elbow
jumper off the ensuing inbounds play for a 56-50 lead with 1:35 to go.
"I thought Cat hitting that shot was huge for us," Zia coach Linden
Weese said. "I thought the three Cat hit in transition was really big
as well."
That trey, with 9:18 to go, broke a 42-42 tie just minutes after the Bulldogs took their first lead with a 15-1 burst.
Leading 41-40 with 11:23 to play, Southwestern was hoping to steal a
game, but the late Zia spurt and 28-percent shooting in the first half
were too much to overcome.
"Not being able to hit a layup hurt, and we shot ourselves in the
foot with some of the decisions we made," Southwestern coach Shelly
Pond said. "We gave up those two offensive rebounds, and that was
pretty much the end of it."
Fifer had nine points and a team-high seven rebounds, while point
guard Tori Northcutt killed the Bulldogs (3-8) on both ends with an
efficient seven points, nine assists and six steals.
"I don't think Tori really gets the credit she deserves," Weese
said. "We put her on the toughest players. She's a good floor general
for us."
Northcutt's assists went everywhere, as the Zias had six players with at least seven and only Clay reached double figures.
"I believe that one of our keys is balance," Clay said. "We've got a lot of kids that can shoot the ball."
Kara Bible, Vanessa O'Neal and Samantha Matta also had seven each for the Zias, who visit Texas A&M-Commerce on Thursday.
Jenna Sprague had a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds,
and Jennifer DeGarmo and Lucy Ramon each added 11 for Southwestern.
