Pool problems result from many factors, including chemistry variables, equipment malfunctions, or other upsets. Most common problems with pool water chemistry can be attributed to five factors: free available chlorine residual, total chlorine residual, pH, total alkalinity, or calcium hardness. Fortunately, each factor can be corrected easily through careful monitoring, testing, and managing.
Free available chlorine is the most important, as it can disinfect and oxidize pathogens in the water. Total chlorine residual and pH are notorious for being misunderstood and mismanaged. Although they require less frequent checking and adjusting, total alkalinity and calcium hardness can lead to problems with pH control and pool finishes.
These five factors cause about 90% of all pool water problems, including eye burn, odor, cloudiness, scale, corrosion, short filter cycles, filter calcification, green algae, water discoloration, pool surface problems, and proliferation of bacteria and viruses. Although some of these effects also may result from equipment malfunctions or other upsets, quick and inexpensive tests can determine which, if any, of the five critical factors might be to blame.
Free chlorine is the most important factor in public pool water management. The only reliable method for testing free chlorine is a diethyl-p-phenylene diamine test kit. Flash readings or refrigerated samples with the orthotolidine test reagent are unreliable.
Maximum free chlorine levels vary. Local public health regulations sometimes dictate an upper limit for free available chlorine residual. Other pools set this limit as the point at which people begin to complain about bleached bathing suits, dry skin, and eye burn.
Ultimately, the ideal target at which to set free available chlorine levels differs per pool. No sound evidence exists that pools maintained at one target residual will be better, safer, or more comfortable for users over the long run compared to pools maintained at another residual. However, a higher target residual should be chosen when a greater margin for error is needed. On the other hand, if a lesser margin for error is needed because of automatic controls or specific expert care, a lower target residual is possible.
Total chlorine residual indicates how much chloramine residual is present, compared to free chlorine. This value should never exceed the free available chlorine residual by more than 0.5 parts per million (ppm). Superchlorination ensures that chloramine levels remain at or below 0.5 ppm.
Although a pool's pH rarely is harmful to swimmers, it can affect metal, grout, and plaster on pool surfaces and in mechanical equipment. In addition, pH frequently can alter the performance of other chemicals added to a pool, most of which work best at a pH of about 7.5.
While there are many different pH targets, experts generally agree on a pH that ranges from 7.4 to 7.6. Maintaining such a pH in hypochlorinated indoor pools is not difficult, where operators can effectively counteract gradual shifts in pH. Automatic controls used on many pools also can maintain pH within this range, assuming the chemical feed pump is properly sized and working well, and a proper chemical supply is available. It is usually far more challenging to maintain such tight pH control in gas-chlorinated, outdoor pools without automation.
In terms of long-term costs associated with public pools, controlling pH is the most important factor. It often explains why one pool's mechanical system or plaster finish lasts 35 years while another's lasts only three.

Legacy program at Pequot Library to cover history of Minnesota's peonies
On Tuesday, Feb. 19, at 6:30 p.m., Harvey Buchite, a Minnesota peony expert, will share his love of peonies at a Legacy program at the Pequot Lakes Library.
Past president of the American Peony Society, Buchite is an advocate for growing these perennials and, along with his wife, Brigitte, grows more than 600 varieties at their Hidden Springs Flower Farm in southeastern Minnesota.
He will present Minnesota's grand peony history in a colorful big-screen digital format that allows time for questions from the audience.
Learn a bit of Minnesota's role in the history of peonies and the development of ever-more-hardy species.
Buchite's experience spans many years and his first-hand knowledge of growing peonies and developing new hybrids allows him to speak knowledgeably about his subject.

Dear Facebook, We Need to Talk
In fact, we never really talked about why I walked away from you for a while two years ago and I really feel bad about that. You wanna know why? You're like that studly rockstar surfer / skatepunk boyfriend I dated in college who threw those really AWEsome parties?! He was so cool but Oh so unreliable! .....See? FB, you are so popular I couldn't resist you...even when I knew you were no good for me I kept overlooking your faults and taking you back. I HAD to have you but I really never liked it!
You were slutty, shifty, & unreliable! ....especially with my personal information! You spilled my secrets without hardly a blink or an "I'm sorry!" I knew that. Everyone knew that. Where was my privacy? I had to keep tweaking things to feel safe around you and every other week or month you let me down or flipped the script on me! You also changed almost every other month - like big change. You are EXHAUSTING! I still don't know what to expect. I don't think I'll EVER fully trust you! At least I never played any of your games. Me? Farming? Seriously? I.Think.Not.
With you, my worlds collided. All of a sudden it's like I'm at this party surrounded by all my old high school and college friends who were showing my new EdTech professional & librarian friends pictures of me from my partying hardcore punk rock, rockabilly, & new wave 80's and days?! Tagging me here, tagging me there! Without even asking me! WTH!? I had to go around & untagging and yanking them so that I could keep some semblance of professionalism. I had had it up to here, FB and I left you. Remember that? I just upped and walked away. Of course you didn't make it easy. For some reason it's easy to "take a break" from you but to totally leave and quit you I had to go through hell!
I stayed away from you for 6 months or maybe it was a year. All I know is that I almost felt shameful about it and no, I didn't blog about it then. Because I new I really should be
AT THAT DAMN SOCIAL MEDIA PARTY! But I realized to do it properly I had to say goodbye to all my old high school and college friends and come back to you alone. I needed to be seen at that party but I came back on MY TERMS. For my web presence I felt that I had to be on FaceBook but I didn't have to like it. So yeah, you're hot and I used you as much as you used me but I never really liked it. I came back alone, open, transparent, and professional. Did you notice that I was chilly with you? Only throwing you a nod here and there with most ALL of my love going to Twitter? Yeah, didn't think so. And frankly, not to sound shallow...though you're really popular and all you're not all that attractive - that ALWAYS bothered me. Not like my first....MySpace! [swoons at the memory] Now THAT was a Pretty InterFace!
I gave up my first social media BF... MySpace Tom for you! I had molded MySpace (Is it still there? Did you take yours down? If so, it's like some kind of frozen early Internet record of my life!) Anyway, I dressed my MySpace up with some of my awesome HTML skillz, and pimped it out so great...then well it changed, it grew old, I got bored, it got blocked by my school filter, and I got tired of it & started seeing you. But now..
Now I'm leaving you for GooglePlus. Ok, not leaving per se. Thanks to a Chrome Extension I can connect you two (gee, you don't mind do you?) and thanks to If This Then That I've got my Google+ going to my Twitters (please do NOT ask me for an invite, I'm clear out :-( So....I really think that Google+ is going to satisfy my social media needs with my Twitters being first. The parties are better, more thoughtful - I'm definitely moving in better circles now. I love the Twitter chats (#TLChat #EdChat) where I can get more in an hour than days talking with you! I can't see giving up my Twitters. I hope Facebook you don't mind...but really? I could care less if you do. HA! Booya!
Please, don't call me, I've set up a Gmail filter to skip my inbox on all your emails....and for gosh sakes and for the love of all that is holy.......
Update: 5.1.12 We're broken up for good! And really, I doubt I'll ever come back. I even found a way around how to have a school FB page without compromising my own email address...ha! And G+?? Just keeps getting better.
So what kind of relationship do you have with the Facebooks? Do you see it changing with Google+? I'd love to hear what you think!
13 comments:
HILARIOUS! And useful! Love the pics! AWESOME! Is MySpace Tom in one of your circles, at least???ReplyDelete
I haven't checked out Google+, and I'm not sure if I will. I learned a long time ago never to say never. I like Facebook, but not because of Farmville. I'll never play that game (Oh, wait, that's right). Regardless, I love your post and maybe - just maybe - you might be getting me to consider checking out Google+. Just don't tell anybody.ReplyDeleteReplies
Dear Tom,Delete
Your secret is safe with me! Muuwaa!
ps. Still have the overalls?
Dear Ms. Slim, Thanks dear! And of course! Tom Anderson is in one of my G+ circles! I hope he understands I still regard him fondly!ReplyDelete
Tom - Thanks so much for your comment & Tweet! I'm not about to tell you who you should love or stay with - I just want you to be happy! [grins] And your secret is safe with me!
Excellent post, darling librarian (yeah... that's right... I said it... HERE is the love, MWA ha!)ReplyDelete
I recently struggled with the same professional/personal collision in which I responded by pushing back hard on FB. Colleagues pressuring me to friend them, asking why I didn't when we met face to face. This is all a little too weird. There's absolutely no reason for the privacy issues faced weekly with FB or the ignorance its users demonstrate toward the privacy of others (family... please read between the lines!).
I've resolved to maintain an FB profile so that family/friends can watch my little one grow up. I've embraced Google+ for the power professional connector that it is and I'm loving all of the ways my colleagues are sharing such great content through G+. (That includes you, my dear).
Thanks for keeping it real.
- Matthew
Thanks dear Matthew! That's a great compromise & I admire and respect your decision. If you must needs unfriend me on FB I'll totally understand. You are def in my Geek Tribe G+ circle, my friend.ReplyDelete
For myself....I've just resolved (since I'm child-free by choice) to not use ANY social networking for my social life. As an intensely busy career girl I don't have much of one anyway! LOL It's just too potentially sticky. I don't allow myself to be photographed sipping champagne (or any kind of adult beverage) singing Karaoke カラオケ, or dancing the Can Can!
Frankly, I think cameras & smart phones should be banned at all teacher parties - too easy for people to look unprofessional & risk their careers. What happens outside school - should stay outside school. But that's me. I'm draconian! ;-) So my friends when we're hanging out & you whip out your camera don't be surprised when I put up my hand Paparazzi style, or dive under the table or behind a potted plant! LOL
Love the posting, Gwyneth, and, as always, your graphics are dazzling! I still need to figure out Google+, but I like the concept of being able to differentiate categories of people I communicate with with the circles. I did give in and joined the crowd on Facebook a while back, and use that mostly for personal postings, but am still careful about what I post. I love Twitter, and use that for professional postings. I'm going to look into how I can weave Google+ and Twitter together.ReplyDelete
I might be the last hold out in the rain but I'm not moving to G+. yet. So many of my family & friends are on FB I can't see leaving it and I don't have any room in my life right now for ANOTHER social network. I get move of my professional connection via Twitter anyway, there just isn't anything driving me toward G+ yet.ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for your comment, Bobbi! I totally understand that the Librarian by Day has found her social media niche. And I think we both feel more connected to Twitter...ReplyDelete
In the meantime, you keep FB happy & I'm gonna snuggle up to G+
I LOVE this! I've toyed with the idea of a big break-up for a while. At the very least I contemplated splitting my worlds before they collided and destroyed one another. Surprisingly, after floating that idea I heard from both universes that they LIKED hearing about and seeing a glimpse into my "other" life. So... Google+ comes along at an interesting time. Can I handle one more social media connection and make it valuable to me and others? I'd love to hear more about what it took to extract yourself from the FB grasp! Thanks for a very entertaining post -- can't wait to see you in NC in October.ReplyDelete
I too am ready for a facebook break-up. However, I have not joined G+. This was a very funny post. I look forward to my attempt to dump facebook.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 23, 2011 at 7:44 PM
Like many have said, I am ready to move on to something that will let me have more control over my information and privacy settings. It seems like every time I turn around, Facebook has changed something that lets out more information than what I want! I am curious to try out google+ but unfortunately, there are no spots available at this time.ReplyDelete
Gwyneth, You said a lot of what I was thinking just today! Well I did not have the whole metaphor worked out but the idea of leaving FB, and asking myself if I could leave, wondering who and what I would be leaving behind....I have tried in the past and failed yet I am really not a FB junkie. It's just nice to know I can connect with people that live far away or who I know from 30 years ago!!ReplyDelete
I have to spend some time thinking about this whole thing. I hate the way FB takes advantage of us as a captive audience. How dare they dictate to us how things will be?? Really? You don't care how I feel about it, FB? You're just gonna do it and minimize the impact saying "most people did not use this feature anyway?" What does that even mean?
I just wish we could all go on strike against FB and demand our rights...I am a fairly moderate person and do not post my entire life on FB...just some pets or trips now and then and I have resisted the temptation to post personal information or engage in any kind of socio political conversations (I think these things are very personal).
I like how many have turned their FB pages into professional pages and I try to have mainly professional content too....Thank you very much for the food for thought!

Skillz July 06 Winning Entry - Technical
Dean De Beer
Looking at the details of O-ren's hack against his account, Bill thought
about how proud he was of her. He was glad now that he had setup a sebek
server on snakepit when he did. (http://www.honeynet.org/tools/sebek/) He
wasn't surprised that she was the first to gain access to his account and
botnet, her h4x0r skillz were as formidible as her Kung Fu. She also had a
ruthless ambition the others lacked. He was a little disapointed that she
had not attempted to cover her tracks more completely though. That
arrogance would be her downfall one day. But for now Boss Tananka was about
to be "retired" and Tanaka's replacement would be somebody that he had
helped shape and could now influence. It was some much more satisfying to
remain in the shadows and manipulate events. Hence his alias, the Snake
Smiling, he began to go through the logs in more detail. He looked at the
first command she ran after logging in as Cottonmouth,
cottonmouth@snakepit:~ $ cat /etc/sudoers
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
snakecharmer ALL=(ALL) ALL
cottonmouth ALL=(ALL) ALL
californiamountainsnake ALL=(ALL) ALL
copperhead ALL=(ALL) ALL
blackmamba ALL=(ALL) ALL
sidewinder ALL=(ALL) ALL
With sudo, root privileges can be granted to individuals even though root's
password is unknown and in this case all of the users are able to run any
command they choose as root. The first "ALL" refers to all machines on
network. This meant that any command could be run on any machine in the
network! This "lapse" in security was the way in for O-ren. Using visudo to
edit the /etc/sudoers file, Bill began to modify the file limiting what
commands could be run by the users. He begain listing each command that they
would be able to run using sudo. for example:
cottonmouth snakepit= /bin/mount, /bin/umount
Currently with the existing rights each user had it was easy for O-ren to
run the following:
cottonmouth@snakepit:~ $ sudo su -
Using the sudo command she ran the su command and was logged in as root. The
advantage of her being logged in as root is that any commands she now runs
do not appear in the logs. After changing into the /home/cottonmouth
directory of her account she then creates a folder that uses <space> as the
folder name. This is pure obfuscation on her part. Next she changed into
the "hidden" directory as evidenced by the following command:
root@snakepit:/home/cottonmouth # cd \
The backslash is used to escape the <space>.
She then ran tcpdump:
root@snakepit:/home/cottonmouth/ # tcpdump -nnw " " &
This would dump all ethernet headers into a file named <space>.
The -n argument is used to avoid DNS lookups and so tcpdump does not convert
host addresses to names.
The -nn argument is used when you don't want to convert protocol and port
numbers to names either.
The -w argument is used to write to a file rather than stdout. In this case
data is being written to a file named <space>.
The "&" character sets the command to be running in the background.
Next O-ren ran the "list" command: (note: at this point it appears that
O-ren moved up a directory. If this is infact the case then the unlink
command that follows would not yield any results.)
root@snakepit:/home/cottonmouth # ls -i " "
The -i argument lists the inode number of the file. In this case "97314".
Good idea, Bill thought knowing why she was listing the inode number of the
file. Her next command confirmed it:
root@snakepit:/home/cottonmouth # unlink " "
She had unlinked the file. The file would now no longer show up using the
"ls" command. A quick way to hide an open file on a system. The file was
still open in a process so recovery of this file would be easy for O-ren.
Using the command "lsof +L1" O-ren could list all files with a link count of
less than one. Next she could use the inode number to confirm that the file
was indeed the correct one. This command would also display the PID that was
holding the file handle. An administrator could use the same command to find
such files. The find command could also be used:
find / -name ' ' -print
She probably did the following to recover and view the file:
cd /proc/(PID#)/fd
cat (fd #) > recovered_file
This would effectively allow her to recover the file.
After CD'ing back to root's home directory, It looks like O-ren created
another "hidden" directory with <space> for a name. Once in the hidden
directory she ran the following command:
root@snakepit:~/ # nc -lp 5050 > apptrace
Ah, Netcat, it was so much more than the Swiss Army Knife people comapred it
to, thought Bill. O-ren had created a Netcat listener on local port 5050
that would output data to a file named apptrace. Most likely she used the
following command:
nc [snakepit IP] 5050 < apptrace_src_file
O-ren had to have sent an escape charater after the data had been transfered
otherwise the connection would have remained open.
Hmm, apptrace? that name rings a bell. Bill Stearns had created a script to
monitor applications and record all command line parameters used. From the
source of the script:
"This wrapper script will monitor that application, whether called from the
command line, inetd, or some other app, and save time of last run, command
line parameters given to the app, and strace output from running that app in
$HOME/apptrace or /tmp/apptrace..."
Was it the same one?
The next two commands confirmed Bill's suspicions:
root@snakepit:~/ # chmod +x apptrace
root@snakepit:~/ # ./apptrace /usr/sbin/ssh
After making the file executable by running the chmod command with the -x
argument, O-ren ran the apptrace script to monitor all activity of the
Secure Shell app. As this was not run from the /home directory the ouput
file would have to be retrieved from /tmp/apptrace.
After extracting the SSH password from the apptrace output file O-ren, Bill
could see that O-ren used this iinformaiton to log into his personal
root@snakepit:~ # ssh
Once she had gained access to his machine she immediatly checked his the
effective UIDs and GIDs that his account had.
[snakecharmer@localhost snakecharmer]$ id
uid=500(snakecharmer) gid=500(snakecharmer) groups=500(snakecharmer)
A UID of 500 represents a non-priviledged user.
O-ren immediately ran the sudo command again to gain root priviledges and
once again checked the UID of the account:
[snakecharmer@localhost snakecharmer]$ sudo su -
[root@localhost root]# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
She was running as root as evidenced by the UID of "0".Bill know that O-ren
must have been smiling at this point being so close to her prize.
She changed back into Bill's snakecharmer account's home directory and
listed the files in that directory:
[root@localhost snakecharmer]# ls
O-ren focused on this file. Perhaps the name was too obvious? thought Bill.
Okunote loosely translated to "secret skill". Next O-ren was temporarily
stopped in her tracks when she used the "file" command to determine what
type of file it was.
[root@localhost snakecharmer]# file okunote
okunote: PGP armored data message
Bill was using gpg to encrypt this file. She gained access to his gpg
password using ./apptrace and would have run it as follows:
./apptrace /usr/bin/gpg
Next O-ren decrypted the file:
[snakecharmer@localhost snakecharmer]$ gpg -decrypt okunote
gpg: Warning: using insecure memory!
You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "Bill Snakecharmer <
1024-bit ELG-E key, ID 11D6CF5F, created 2006-07-06 (main key ID E921E06D)
gpg: encrypted with 1024-bit ELG-E key, ID 11D6CF5F, created 2006-07-06
"Bill Snakecharmer <
The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting
- Sun Tzu in The Art of War
The secret password to control the bot net is: g0dz1ll4
Bill Thought about how easily she had gained access to this file and from
there to his botnet. Perhaps he should have made it a little more
challenging for her? Well, he would definitely store his private key
remotely from now on, possibly on a usb key drive. Sniffing his password
might still be possible but without the private key they would no longer be
able to decrypt the files.
But still he was proud of her. He could not let her know that he had planned
this though. He did not need that type of anger directed at him. As he was
logging off his computer Bill wondered if she had realised that the
passwords were Hex encoded:
6f74616b75 = otaku (the term otaku used by itself just means "fanatic" -
42696c6c = Bill

During the summer of 2004, the College of Agricultural, Environmental, and Natural Sciences (CAENS) in collaboration with the College of Engineering, Architecture, and Physical Science (CEAPS) at Tuskegee University and Southeastern Consortium of Minority Engineer (SECME), Incorporated developed the two-week residential program called the AgriTREK Summer Institute. This USDA/CSREES (now NIFA) sponsored program was implemented to expose 9-12th grade students and teachers from counties in Alabama's Black Belt to the latest developments in AgriScience and related disciplines. Today, the program continues to give 9th-12th grade students an opportunity to gain leadership and research training in agriculture and related disciplines. To date, over 300 high school students have participated in the program, many of whom have obtained or are currently pursuing careers in agriculture and related sciences at universities and colleges across the country.

Health care professionals use ultrasounds for a variety of reasons, including
Your child will go to a special room for the exam and lie on a comfortable bed. The room may be a little dark so that the technologist doing the exam can see the pictures clearly on a TV screen. A small amount of gel will be put on your child's skin in the area to be checked.
A transducer, which looks like a microphone, will be attached to the ultrasound machine. The technologist performing the ultrasound will gently move the transducer over your child's skin. This will not hurt. The machine takes pictures and saves them to a computer so the doctor can review them later. Your child must remain very still during the ultrasound. The ultrasound should take 15 to 60 minutes. If you have any questions during the procedure, please ask.
Your child's primary care doctor will receive the results within 24 hours. He or she will share the results with you and your family. You will not receive results from the technologist who performed the procedure.
The area of the body needing an ultrasound will determine how you should prepare your child. Some exams require that children drink a lot of water. Other exams require that children not eat breakfast the morning of the exam. For other ultrasound exams, you do not need to do anything special to prepare your child. You will receive detailed instructions for preparing your child before the ultrasound. Here are some general guidelines:
How you get your child ready depends upon what body part needs to be checked. The doctor or nurse will give you special instructions for your child. It is important that you follow these instructions.
If your child has had a barium or other X-ray study within the last 48 hours, let the doctor know.
If your child is told to have nothing to eat or drink before the test, follow these directions:
Please note that it is important that you follow these directions. If your child eats or drinks anything after the times listed above, the test may be cancelled.
Learn more about preparing for your child's ultrasound (PDF).
Ultrasounds may be done on an outpatient basis, or as part of inpatient care. Although each hospital may have specific protocols in place, generally, an ultrasound procedure follows this process:
Different ultrasound techniques exist for different conditions. Examples of some of the more common types of ultrasound examinations include the following:

Dare to disagree
Most people instinctively avoid conflict, but as Margaret Heffernan shows us, good disagreement is central to progress. She illustrates (sometimes counterintuitively) how the best partners aren't echo chambers — and how great research teams, relationships and businesses allow people to deeply disagree.

High Desert schools await final budget word
Leaders hope $6.55 billion isn't final figure from Salem
REDMOND, Ore - A K-12 state budget has been approved by the Oregon Senate, but some senators and school leaders are unhappy with the decision and hope more money can be found.
Senators approved the $6.55 billion education budget Wednesday on a 22-8 vote, but some senators say the work isn't over, still hoping to get schools more money.
Just last week, the Senate voted on the same budget, but a tie vote stalled the measure. With a change this week in plans to cut some of the state's retirement fund, senators agreed on the $6.55 billion budget.
"They've got a week or so to make some good things happen," said Redmond Schools Superintendent Mike McIntosh.
McIntosh said he was disappointed when he heard the $6.55 billion budget was approved.
'I think all of us in K-12 were hoping for a number closer to $7 billion," said McIntosh.
State Sen. Rod Monroe, (D) Portland, and a chair of the state's education subcommittee, said, "I think that some members got away from the politics of it, and understood that this really is giving the resources that we know we have. This is really good budget for our schools."
But some senators still disagree.
"Though it sounds like an increase, the increasing cost of PERS, it eats up most of the increase that was in the budget," said Sen, Tim Knopp, R-Bend.
Bend-La Pine Superintendent Ron Wilkinson says the school district is down 100 teachers in recent years, and with the approved budget, only 20 of them will be able to be added back this year.
In Redmond, McIntosh said they fortunately won't have to cut any more teachers, but there will be no extra money to hire new ones.
Senators said Friday there is still wiggle room, and the budget is not final yet. Both parties have until next Monday to see if they can get the extra money from changes to the state's retirement system and additional revenue.
"I think everybody would feel like there was a victory for kids if we can get to $7 billion on K-12," Knopp said.
McIntosh said, "The community wins, the kids win, the district wins, the teachers win, when you put kids in classrooms."
The Redmond School Board was able to add 12 days back to its schedule with the approved budget. The school district had to cut 15 days this year; the other three were teacher work days.

I consider any constitutional right precious and will defend it.
I posted this reply on a recent CCW poll thread. I thought I would post here to open up to all that may be interested
Got my CCW last month in Florida. Moved from the UK 14 months ago.
The big difference between USA and UK in my personal opinion is that the gun laws here make for a less violent society.
UK suffers with more violent crime than USA. Fact...
the English law went soft whilst searching for election votes a considerable time ago. The BGs are the only ones that are armed.
British police have upped their armed numbers but, as we all know, they cant be everywhere at the 'wrong time and wrong place'
Its a very reassuring position for me to be in knowing that for the first time, I am able to match the aggression level aimed at my family, friends or me. Fight to protect this very valuable legislation at all costs.
Be very clear on what a prospective elected government aim to do with your right before you go to the ballet boxes later this year
I consider any constitutional right precious and will defend it.
Welcome aboard PARABROAD, we're happy to have you with us. As a Virginian, we take our rights very serious and tend to watch our servants, elected and appointed, very closely in firearms-related matters. The chance of our government doing something in this country like what took place in the UK is pretty remote.... not impossible, but not probable. They know that there would be hell to pay at the ballot box and other places.
The spark which ignited the American Revolution was gun control. Were some current or future administration be of a mind to try this again, it would be my fervent hope that the ire of the People would be raised to such a cacophony that their blood would run in the streets and their rotting corpse would fester on polls. For if this ever came to pass, this nation would have already ceased to be America.
Anyway, on a lighter note, do enjoy your new found freedom and exercise it in safety and with pride.
Dont think it cant happen though.Remember Katrina in New Orleans.Martial law was not declared and weapons were confiscated.We just need to make sure we exercise our right to vote and pray we make a wise choice.I do not agree with all of video content but does have some good points.
The UK is a great place, but I'm glad I live here. God bless the USA.
As for using the military to do this, they would be violating a number of laws. Firstly, would be the issuing party, which one might assume to be the president or a governor. If either of these parties were to issue an order to begin the process of taking private arms, the order would have no force of law behind it and would be an illegal order which would not require it's being carried out. And if an officer in the military were to carry it out, he would also be committing an act of treason as well.
The last company I worked for was a major defense contractor and as such, we frequently had military personnel on site for training and other venues. I asked a number of them what they thought would happen should the executive branch ever issue an order to begin confiscating privately owned firearms. To a man, they said that such an order would be illegal and a violation of their military oath. A few did say that they imagine a couple of officers might be willing to carry out the order but in their experience, most would not.
And you have to imagine this. Suppose such a military operation is unfolding in Columbia, SC and the military comes under fire (which they should if this were to take place). You can bet there would be some soldiers who would be thinking that if this is happening here, it's probably also happening in my hometown of Tulsa or Austin or Jackson or wherever.
The current occupier of the white house is not all that popular with the military. If this man were to issue such an order, I seriously doubt it would make it past first base. But then again as I stated, I am not so naive to believe or trust any government to abide by the laws of the states and the nation. Still 300 million guns in the hands of over 80 million citizens is something to be reckoned with by even the fool at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
I agree on that as I feel that the Katrina incident opened a lot of eyes to the possibility of it.I see more and more of articles where police and military are doing alot of soul searching on it.I also dont think it would happen again but it is always a possibility.We all know a real world SHTF is more than likely going to be a natural or man made disaster.They happen all too frequently.My area has alot of this types of disasters throughout its history.I really want to believe that LEO and military will do the right thing but I trust none wholly.Too many documented cases to be totally trustworthy.

Whether data are numerical or narrative, removing them from their context represents an act of plagiarism
Andrew Gelman, Thomas Basbøll
An anecdote that has been widely circulated in the organization studies literature goes something like this: A group of soldiers are sent out by their leader and get lost in a snowstorm in the Alps. After discovering that one of their number has a map, they regain their confidence, wait out the storm and return to camp. Only afterward do they realize that the map was not of the Alps but of the Pyrénées.
This story has made the rounds in management circles, often accompanied by the slogan, "When you are lost, any old map will do." It was even retold by noted psychologist Daniel Kahneman at the 2009 Digital Live Design conference as part of an account of the importance of confidence. Kahneman attributed the story to the "famous organizational psychologist Karl Weick." Weick, like Wegman, is an award-winning and highly regarded scholar in his field, and he is the commonly cited source for the anecdote in the organization studies literature. But, as Kahneman noted in his talk, some irregularities in Weick's referencing (or lack thereof) have emerged.
In 2006, one of us (Basbøll), and a Ph.D. student in his department, Henrik Graham, published a paper showing that Weick had simply transcribed the story from a poem by Miroslav Holub that had been published in 1977 in the Times Literary Supplement. The text has minor changes but is nearly identical to Holub's—without the line breaks, of course. (See the appendix.) In his earliest uses of the anecdote, Weick provided no reference to Holub whatsoever, despite the fact that his account was a nearly verbatim reproduction of the poem. In later versions, he mentioned Holub's poem but continued to represent the story as his own prose, without enclosing it in quotation marks.
Importantly, Weick also began to alter Holub's framing of the story. Like Holub, he invoked Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, the Nobel Prize–winning physiologist, as the original source of the story (though he did not clearly cite Holub as the source for this source). Holub described the anecdote as a "story from the war," whereas Weick repeatedly called it "an incident that happened during military maneuvers in Switzerland." With this phrasing, not only did he conceal the nature of his evidence from his readers (it is a poem with a unique author, not a story recounted aloud or included in some unspecified report), he also exaggerated the veracity of the account (and gave the war story an implausible Swiss setting, perhaps by associating the mention of the Alps with Switzerland).
The article set off a back-and-forth of publications. The journal that published Basbøll and Graham's 2006 article, ephemera, printed a response from Weick in the same issue. In it, he dismissed the charge. In 2010, Basbøll published a response to Weick, along with further examples of plagiarism, which Weick again dismissed. In 2012 Basbøll published a rhetorical analysis of the exchanges so far.
Weick claimed that by the time he realized the anecdote had relevance to his work, he had forgotten where he first encountered it, and that he "reconstructed the story as best [he] could." It seems unlikely that a scholar would add to his own writing a nearly word-for-word copy of a text whose citation he did not have—and this in the era before computer copy-and-paste. Beyond this, Weick's reaction when the news came out also gives us reason to doubt his account. Instead of being embarrassed and bending over backward to add a clear, apologetic citation in subsequent appearances of the material, he seemed all too eager to explain the event away.
Gelman had never heard of any of the people involved in these incidents before Basbøll drew his attention to the case of plagiarism. What brought us together was a shared frustration with an especially slippery aspect of the case, and others like it: the denial or avoidance of the topic by colleagues of the offenders. Weick is influential in his field, known for his counterintuitive management advice. Often, when people who attain such stature misbehave, others find it hard to believe or don't want to hear about it. The assumption, perhaps, is that any misbehavior was for the greater good.
In the wake of the paper's publication in ephemera, Basbøll and Graham were mocked by organizational strategy professors Teppo Felin and Omar Lizardo (the latter referred to them as "what's his name and watchumacallit") on the orgtheory blog. When Basbøll tried to mention Weick's plagiarism on the online correspondence site of the Journal of Management Studies, he was rejected on the grounds that Weick might sue the journal. And the American Statistical Society, which presented its Founders Award to Wegman in 2002, has not to our knowledge commented publicly on the issue.
Learning that part of a corpus of work is plagiarized can degrade one's trust in the rest of the work. This is not just a moral or psychological argument of the sort that one might legitimately use against a scientist known to have fabricated or misrepresented data, such as Diederik Stapel or Marc Hauser—if the guy cheated with data in one place, you can't trust his other statements either. Indeed, Basbøll found that the first four pages of one of Weick's most widely cited books, Sensemaking in Organizations (1995), reproduce the work of several other scholars without adequate attribution. The book also includes an instance of the Holub plagiarism.
But we are saying something more: If Weick represented a story recounted in a poem as if it were a historical event, that casts doubt on his rules of evidence. It's not that an unsourced anecdote has more authority than a published poem. Rather, obscuring the source makes the story free-floating, immune from any detail-based examination. Meanwhile, Weick's reputation as an original thinker is threatened if it turns out that he was appropriating others' ideas while concealing his debt to them. In a 2004 article in the journal Organization Studies, Weick explains his reputation in terms of the "hidden connections" that exist between his own work and that of his precursors. Acknowledging one's precursors is good, but it's better when their names are given and their work recognized as their own.
Similarly, if Wegman, a nonexpert in network analysis, plagiarizes a description of the field (and, as the blogger known as Deep Climate noted, in the process introduces a typo that wrecks one of the mathematical expressions), that casts doubt on any empirical studies he performs using network analysis. Ultimately, such analyses must be evaluated on their own terms—but without the nudge toward acceptance that might come from the knowledge that they were performed by an eminent statistician. In the Weick case, the copier was getting credit for an interesting story, as well as credit for Holub's writing style—indeed, for certain very specific turns of phrase. In addition, by obscuring the source, he became more free to alter its meaning in different tellings.
Some organization theorists, such as Barbara Czarniawska, have argued that the truth or falsity of the original story has no bearing on the reception of Weick's theory. But we disagree. We believe, for example, that Weick's argument would not have been so well received if he had presented the material as the poem it was rather than calling it "an incident that happened during military maneuvers in Switzerland." In a sense, the vaguer attribution, by placing the story in the category of folklore, gives it an implication of broader significance—in the same way it can be disappointing to learn that a purported folk ballad was in fact the product of a forgotten songwriter.

Thanks -
I've decided to hold off for a bit - might have to completely redo how I have things set up in my different tanks - my female platy is having her brood. Good thing that I isolated her into a breeding chamber last week.
I will try just adding some supplement nutrients to the tank for now. Once I figure out what I'm going to raise fry in then I think about a CO2 system. (The guppies in the terrarium are also getting very close to delivery too)
If you add co2 you will have to find a balance between nutrients, light and co2.
for co2 you shout at 30ppm, if you have surface agitation going your fish shouldn't have a problem with the co2.
look into diy co2 to try it out.
If you want to go the pressurized co2 way, I would say, research and read, read and read some more and then have a big wallet ready. I spend months researching it before I tried it.
Here are a couple of quick pictures of what added today to the mini-hydroponic loop - a couple of aquatic frogs. Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures - only had my phone for these ones. It is amazing how well they blend into the rocks. It will be a great conversation for my classes next week.
Wy- my question about the CO@ wasn't for this set up. I have a 25 gallon that I've added some plants to, however they aren't doing well. The leaves keep going brown to transparent to non-existent. I'm not sure what to change. The amount of fish in there should be adding enough nutrients, I'm not sure if its a CO2 issue or a lighting on. I'll try to get a picture of it next week.
|Wy Renegade
|I don't think you should need to add CO2 to tomatoes to get them to grow as long as there is plenty of fertilizer via fish in the water. Keep in mind that it may require a bit for the plants to make the transition from terrestrial to hydroponic. Keep an eye out for new leaves/stem growth off the original root system.
As psr tof the displays in my room I have a 25 gallon fresh tropical tank - it has a few guppies, swords, mollies an angle fish and some submerged plants. The plants aren't doing very well. any suggestions?
I think that I would like to try a CO2 system, but know next to nothing about them. How much CO2 should I be adding? Will it affect the fish?
Any advise would be great.
Discussion I started about Aquaponics
My Aquaponics system
Dogfish Aquaponic system
as grow bed media, you can use:
Hydroton (clay pebbles)
River pebbles
Lava Rock (hard on the hands)
|Another option for aquaponics is to go without a medium for the harvest plants. Sheets of styrofoam float on top and plants, usually lettuce or other small leafy greens, are anchored in small mesh pots that fit into holes in the styro sheet. The key to success with that method is keeping the solution sufficiently oxygenated. I would suggest additional airstones or sponge filtration.
I know that this is small and fairly basic, but its a first try and givne that it is in a classroom it needs to be small scale. Thanks for the tip on on using lava rock for the plants - I will look for some next time I'm in a larger center.
I think that into the tank part I'm going to use bettas, Although I have a molly that is getting very close to delivering - so I might move her then after the delivery move her back out. Then this small tank will work for the fry. Here is a picture of what I've set up so far.
Given that with the lid on the tank is fairly dark I'll be looking for some kind of light.
I would use lava rock or clay pebbles instead of soil for the plants. The plants roots are better oxygenated and drain better.
Lava rock has names such as Eco-complete, CaribSea, Flourite. Clay pebbles sells by names such as LECA and Hydroton.
Check out the planted HOB thread for plants,
Use river sand with some sections of play sand for the pygmies in the tank. Sand tanks help with denitrification also.
Thanks for the feed back lochaber. I totally agree that often the youth have very creative solutions to our problems. I often include them in the planning phases of my projects. Currently we are also setting up a salamander tank, to add to the other displays in my classroom. The other tanks that are in my room include : 20 gallon goldfish, 25 gallon fresh tropical, a terrarium with guppies and soon to be crabs, 150 gallon salt reef. I also intend on setting up a 10 gallon crayfish.
I should also mention that my classroom window looks out to a forested area, and the deer often wander though.
you really wouldn't need much space for the plants, even something like routing the flow through a section of gutter filled with hydroponic substrate would probably work pretty well.
Though, if you go that route, it would probably work better if you split it into 2-3 sections with individual lighting on timers, and keep each section lit for 8-12 hours or so. -that way there is always a section in 'active' mode.
I've never drilled a tank personally, but it sounds like it is a bit much trouble to do if other options are available. I'd go for just sticking a small pump in a corner, having it push water up into a length of gutter (or three), and the over flow from that just goes back into the tank. pretty easy set-up, and doesn't require much more then something to cut the vinyl tubing, and whatever glue/sealant you use to set up the sections of gutter.
Aside from that, kudoz/props/whatever for trying to bring a relatable aspect to science education. I sincerely think something like a classroom fishtank, or a walk through the woods where all kinds of rocks and logs are flipped over will do more to stimulate kid's curiosity(and curiosity is the root of all science, and even knowledge) then much of what they will otherwise be exposed too.
And, hell, get the kids involved in the design once they understand what is needed. they will likely spit out all sorts of bad ideas, but there may be a few in there that we haven't considered yet, and most bad ideas have value as teaching opportunities.
|You're almost going to want to overstock it bioload wise to get enough ammonia and nutrients for the plants with that small of a tank. I would think fish, snails, shrimp. The snails and shrimp would be small enough to not add to the fish space available but would increase the bioload a bit.
Thank-you for the feed back - Bettas are a possibility - I hadn't even thought of.
A discussion about aquaponics would be great and tie in very nicely with what we are currently studying -biodiversity and enviro chem, as well as with our envirothon teams.
Here is a quick picture of what I've started/done already.
|Lots of people are doing this as a sustainable living model called aquaponics. Raising fast, edible fish in a large several hundred gallon stock tanks, etc like tilapia, perch, etc, then using the water from there to grow vegetables, herbs, etc and other edible plants, thus creating a self sustaining system that you can eat fish and veggies from. Fish breed, you get more fish, save/plant seeds from veggies, repeat, so maybe use your model to explain this to your class.

Our very own footnoteMaven has challenged us to blog our favorite Christmas Carol. I love that Geneabloggers have traditions. From the comfort of our blogs, with fMs Hot Toddy (and my coconut cake) in hand, her flannel jammies and furry slippers on (and my cuddle-duds), we will all blog our favorite Christmas Carols on Wednesday, December 15. (Don't we sing so much better online than in person?)
So my fellow GeneaBloggers, mine is below. Post yours quickly so we can all enjoy the caroling!
This Christmas Prayer is sung by many people, but Aaron Neville's voice is the one I prefer over any other. He also has several other renditions of the song. This one is a shorter version. It means a great deal to me for a very special reason and I will always hold it dear to my heart.
Aaron Neville Louisiana Christmas Concert
singing Ave Maria
accompanied by Miss Linda Rondstadt and the Community Choir
Ave Maria from Otello by Verdi (Italian Version)
Ave Maria, piena di grazia, eletta
Fra le spose e le vergini sei tu,
Sia benedetto il frutto, o benedetta,
Di tue materne viscere, Gesù.
Prega per chi adorando a te si prostra,
Prega nel peccator, per l'innocente,
E pel debole oppresso e pel possente,
Misero anch'esso, tua pietà dimostra.
Prega per chi sotto l'oltraggio piega
La fronte e sotto la malvagia sorte;
Per noi, per noi tu prega,
Prega sempre
e nell'ora della morte nostra,
Prega per noi, prega per noi, prega.
Ave Maria . . .
Nell'ora della morte.
Ave!. . . Amen!
Ave Maria, overflowing with grace,
Blessed be the fruit of thy womb.
Blessed are you above all women
for delivering to us Christ Jesus.
Pray for the one
who kneels in prayer before you,
Pray for the wrongdoer
...and for the innocent,
Pray for the weak and oppressed,
...and for those in power,
For the wretched, likewise,
show your mercy.
Pray for the one suffering
cruel misfortune,
Pray for the one who bows his head
under injustice and cruel fate.
And for us... pray for us,
pray always...
...and in the hour
of our death.
Pray for us...
Pray for us...
for us.
Ave Maria . . .
...In the hour of our death.
Amen. .

Artifact 1A had a significant amount of a sticky residue caking the earth to its shaft. The HEPA vacuum malfunctioned and blew up in one of the worker's faces. We worried for his safety. We used the soft bristle brushes we talked about earlier, After a quick light wash with a damp terry cloth, the residue quickly wore away from the piece. We have also unearthed 87 black oval seeds that contain the same residue. After an ancillary inspection, we've concluded the seeds to be some type of a watermelon seed--very strange.
Onto the dimensions of the Artifact 1A: The shaft, pending an official testing, seems to be made of a solid oak, not native to this region. The inscription on the bottom of the 27.5" shaft is incomplete. What we have deciphered is minimal at best. "G _ _ L(?) _ _ H E _" is all we could figure out on the first line and the 2nd line is much worse. We are only sure of "-O-" is legible, and we are not sure if the 'O' is a number or a letter. Perhaps you can do better. The "head" of the piece, what we are calling "the block" is a wooden cube, unsure of its origin, measuring 9 inches in length, 4 inches in height, and 4 inches in width. Official weight is unknown, but the piece has a considerable load. On a most base level, It is safe to presume the artifact is a mallet of some sort, but it looks as if it could also be a part of a bigger machine.
Injury Report: 2 pit workers were deemed unfit to work the 2nd shift of the day when they both, in unison, slipped on the outer coverings of their bananas and fell face first into a pile of the worker mule's defecations. We do not suspect their injuries to be long-term. The on-site medic released them shortly before the end of their shifts. We do not anticipate them to miss tonight's shift.
Talk to you this evening,

I saw an old post elsewhere on the internet where somebody transplanted what they called 'luxury sun visors' into their truck. They look factory, but I could not locate any part numbers or source for said 'luxury sun visors'. Perhaps they are from a Suburban or Escalade? So, in true modding style, I'm trying to locate these so-called luxury sun visors. Where can a fella find a diagram with an annotated parts list? Thank you. Regards, Rich

Century Farms and Ranches Web Exhibit
Established by Washington L. and Susan Coon in 1850
Location: Linn County
Current Owners: Donald and Dona Coon; Mike and Tami Coon
Washington Coon took out his donation land claim in 1850. He soon traveled back east to Pennsylvania where he married Susan, a widow with children. They returned over the Oregon Trail, with the stepsons claiming the adjoining 320 acres next to the Coon's land claim. Like most early Willamette Valley farmers, the Coons raised grain, vetch hay, cattle, horses, dairy cows and hogs. Over the years, the primary crop changed from grains and hay to grass seed.
The 5th generation brothers raise grass seed, field peas, clover seed, triticale, and wheat while maintaining a small beef operation on a farm that now exceeds 4,000 acres.

Of course, given these parlous economic times and the escalating production costs involved in staging the Spottys, we've had to solicit sponsorships for each of the categories. Hey, that's the way the world works these days.
Now, without further ado, we present the Down-Ballot Division of the Spotty Awards. (The Gubernatorial Division awards will be announced as soon as we can find more suckers — er, sponsors.)
The George W. Bush "Got Any Documentation For That Claim?" Award
A tie between Larry Frisoli, Republican candidate for attorney general, and perennial Grand Old Piñata Jack E. Robinson, this time running for the Ninth District congressional seat.
Frisoli is airing a radio spot that accuses his Democratic opponent, Middlesex District Attorney Martha Coakley, of being soft on sexual predators.
"It took Coakley 18 months to indict a man accused of raping his step-daughter because he was a big-time corporate vice-president," a female narrator says. "After two police officers were suspended for allegedly raping a college student, Martha Coakley refused to bring criminal charges. With Coakley as DA, Middlesex County has become a safer place . . . for predators."
You just know there's more to those stories than Frisoli is saying. Beyond that, Frisoli told the Patriot Ledger back in April that Coakley is too much of a career prosecutor; Frisoli is running "because he wants to focus the attorney general's office more on consumer issues such as auto insurance." Sounds like under Frisoli, Massachusetts would become a safer place . . . for predators who don't commit moving violations.
As for Robinson, he's also on the radio, attacking Democratic incumbent Stephen Lynch. Robinson's spot says Lynch has received over half a million dollars in contributions from Big Dig contractors, after which the narrator adds, "some even say he's the linchpin to the problems that plague the Big Dig."
Some say? Like who? Aside from Jack E., we mean?
The Tim Cahill "Say It With Kids" Award
Four years ago, Democratic candidate for secretary of the treasury Tim Cahill ran television ads with his daughter Kendra urging everyone to vote "Tim for Treasurer." He won, so this year Democratic lieutenant-governor candidate Tim Murray upped the ante by featuring a gaggle of school kids chanting "Hurry, Hurry, Vote for Murray!" in one of his TV spots.
Geez, whatever happened to the child-labor laws in this state?
The Lou Gehrig "Luckiest Candidate on the Face of the Earth" Award
That would be State Senator Dianne Wilkerson (D-1040 Short Form), who has in the course of her star-crossed career run afoul of 1) multiple IRS regulations, 2) several Massachusetts campaign-finance laws, and 3) the minimal requirement that she collect 300 signatures to get on the ballot this year. So now Wilkerson not only carries more baggage than a Red Cap, she also has to run a sticker campaign in the Second Suffolk Senate District race.

Lime will be spread over Wanganui's wastewater treatment ponds from today to try and stifle the foul odour coming from the plant and drifting across most of the city.
A stench has been coming from ponds off and on since they were commissioned in 2007 but since last month the extent and strength of the smell has multiplied.
Mark Hughes, council's infrastructure manager, said consultants from BTO Cardno had looked at alternatives and suggested adding the slurry to the ponds.
A similar exercise in Nelson had been successful.
"We had equipment on site today and workmen will begin mixing the slurry from about 7am tomorrow," Mr Hughes said yesterday.
The lime would cover the thick layer of sludge at the bottom of the ponds.
It was the sludge that was creating the foul-smelling hydrogen sulphide gases that were bubbling to the surface of the ponds.
Horizons Regional Council had served an abatement notice on council, giving it until February 7 to sort out of the odour problem.
There have been no reports of illnesses attributable to the stench but Wanganui's medical officer of health Patrick O'Connor said living with the smell day after day could be stressful.
Dr O'Connor said he had done a brief survey of Wanganui GPs and none of them had seen patients with illnesses attributable to the smell.
There have been anecdotal stories of people suffering sore throats and eyes and nausea due to the smell.
Dr O'Connor said that was possible, as some people are more susceptible than others to the irritant effects of the smell.
"For many people, the experience of living with an objectionable odour will be stressful, and foul odours can also induce feelings of nausea," Dr O'Connor said.
