February 6, 2012 – Knoxville, Tennessee — The Lincoln Memorial University (LMU) John J. Duncan, Jr. School of Law (LMU-DSOL) Black Law Student Association (BLSA) will welcome Rita Geier for its celebration of Black History Month on Wednesday, February 8, at 5 p.m. in LMU-DSOL's Courtroom. Geier, the namesake behind the state of Tennessee's Geier Consent Decree, will speak on professionalism and ethics.
Geier filed a lawsuit against the Tennessee Board of Higher Education in 1968. At that time she was a 23-year-old faculty member at Tennessee State University (TSU) in Nashville. At the time of the lawsuit the facilities at TSU, a predominately African-American school, had been neglected, its curriculum had fallen behind and teachers' salaries were inadequate. TSU was within the state university system and while TSU was declining, the state sought to expand the former University of Tennessee at Nashville, a predominately white school. Geier filed suit because she feared this move would further disadvantage TSU.
The initial impact of the lawsuit was felt on July 1, 1979, when the court ordered the merging of the former University of Tennessee at Nashville with TSU. Nevertheless, the suit was not fully resolved until 31 years later. The court-approved Geier Consent Decree of 2001 provided over $21 million to TSU and more than $41 million spread out to other state institutions. The total amount awarded was over $77 million. Although the Consent Decree was dismissed in 2006, its impact is still felt. More than 1,300 African-American students have benefited from Geier-funded scholarships and African-American enrollment at state institutions has increased each year.
At the University of Tennessee's 2006 Fall Commencement, Geier spoke of her lawsuit. "What I did 38 years ago was not special or heroic, it was opportunistic. I was in the right place at the right time to do what needed to be done, and I did it. There was no lofty moralizing. It was simply the choice to do the right thing or to acquiesce to a status quo that was unjust," she said.
Geier currently serves as associate to the chancellor of the University of Tennessee and a senior fellow with UT's Baker Center for Public Policy. Her career also includes time served with the Social Security Administration, the Appalachian Regional Commission, U.S. Department of Justice, Legal Services Corporation and Fisk University.
The Lincoln Memorial University-Duncan School of Law (LMU-DSOL) is located in Knoxville's Historic Old City Hall Building. LMU-DSOL is an integral part of LMU's values-based learning community, and is dedicated to preparing the next generation of lawyers to provide sound legal service in the often underserved region of Appalachia and beyond.

I purchased a cat that was supposed to be a fertile breeding cat for $3500. I was worried and only wanted to pay 1/2 and do the remainder when the cat had sired a litter as many breeders offer but this woman claimed she would replace him so I agreed on her contract and paid the $3500. I agreed to the terms of her contract which was to try him with various breeding girls for a period of 2 years but he wasn't interested. At two years I had a vet neuter him and send him in his testicles to a lab to be evaluted for fertility or external damage or injury. The lab confirmed that there was no injury or damage noted and he was indeed fertile. The woman pretended that she was going to replace him but she never did. I also offered that she can opt out of a replacement and I would let it go for $1000 settlement. This woman is a cheat and a lier. Do not trust her or buy her cats. She is greedy and a lier. If something goes wrong she will deny everything, threaten you with a lawer and act like it is your fault.

BeschreibungLess than twenty years after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, a group of intrepid pioneers set out for the Shawsheen Wilderness, named by the Native American population inhabiting its woods and rivers. By 1655, the group incorporated the settlement, naming it Billerica, after Billericay, England, the home of many of the Pilgrims. With images from glass-plate negative collections unseen for generations, Billerica takes a pictorial journey through the past of this Yankee Doodle town. Stories are captured as Billerica progresses from a small farming village to an Industrial Revolution capital with mills, railyards, and the Middlesex Canal (the first of its kind in the country). Billerica introduces some of the most influential people in the history of Billerica and showcases its heyday as a summer resort, when tourists traveled by trolley to enjoy a wealth of river and lake recreation.

Iceland & Greenland Adventures - Part IIAuthor: Linda V. (More Trip Reviews by Linda V.)
Date of Trip: July 2005
The tunnel was really cool. It shaved an hour off our drive and cost 1,000 ISK each way. The tunnel went through the mountain and maybe even under the ocean? It went deep down and was long.
We got to the Borganes area and headed to Husafell. Darn! We got stuck on a bunch of gravel roads. One section was under construction with the trucks shifting rocks around. I was cussing up a storm - it was scary to drive on. I thought we might scrape the gas tank and muffler off as we bottomed out going through it. Yeah - the gravel roads got less bumpy, and we could see the glacier off in the distance.
We turned off on 550 in search of Jaki, but we never even saw a sign for the town. We continued on and finally saw a sign for dog sledding. Yippee! We made it to the Langjökull glacier - the 2nd largest ice cap in Iceland. We turned off and found the meeting site - a couple of old buildings. It was 11:00 a.m., and we were an hour early. Cool. It was rainy and very windy up here on the glacier. We went inside the building to get warm and stay dry. James from England greeted us, and we sat around snacking and chatting. He is supposed to work here until September. They may have to shut down in August if the glacier continues melting too fast. He gets 3 days off every two weeks and has to hitchhike to and from Reykjavik to enjoy it. He hasn't been working here very long. The dogs respond to commands in Danish, so James has to fake like he's speaking Danish to them. Funny.
We paid our entrance fee (7200 ISK or $111). We waited for other sledders to arrive. They have 3 sledges and 29 dogs. There are 9 dogs per sledge (and two in training). We got suited up in giant snowsuits that zip over your clothing. We looked like giant puffy Pillsbury Dough boys. They also provided boots that go over your own shoes as well as gloves. (That way your own gloves won't smell like dog.)
Yeah! Blue sky started peaking out, and the rain stopped. What a difference an hour can make! The other sledders arrived around 12:30, and we got loaded into a giant truck. It was open aired and had benches on the back. We cruised to the top of the glacier. They have had to move the dog sledding site several times as the glacier melts.
We got off the truck and were directed to our sledge and met our guide, Christian from Denmark. He was great and really informative. The dogs were so big and muscular. Their faces had kind of squinty eyes and were very friendly. Most of the dogs were blonde colored.
The sledge holds four people, so Nina and Renee got on and got situated. I plopped down on the sledge between Renee's legs, and the dogs started to take off. Oops! Christian yelled at them and got them to stop. Darlene got on gently and Christian put on his skiis. Then we took off. Slowly at first. He held onto a rope attached to the sledge and would call out commands in Danish to the dogs. Christian tossed another rope under the front of the sledge to act as a break when we were going too fast. Rasta was the lead dog and would glance back for reassurance from Christian to make sure he was doing okay. One of his ears was scarred - probably from a little altercation with his buddies.
It was fun riding. I held onto Nina's boot to stay on and tried to take action photos. Fabulous! After 25 minutes we stopped at the turnaround point and got off and spent 15 minutes taking photos and petting the dogs. They just love attention. They would roll over and want you to scratch and try to give you kisses. So sweet. We had one girl dog (Franka) in our group, and the rest are males. This keeps the boys in line - all are trying to impress her. The dogs kind of talk to each other as they are running - nip and bark to make each other run properly. Christian shared all sorts of info on the dogs and their personalities.
On the way back Christian took an action photo of us - riding on the sledge. One of the dogs was named Rudolph. He had a reddish nose and was cross-eyed, but so cute. The really dark Greenlandic dog looked kind of scary, but he was a sweetie. Simpson ran next to Franka and was very protective. Christian said the dogs crave being pet; he can't pet them too much or they won't respect him. When the dogs get too old to run, they sometimes are used for breeding. Otherwise they have to get put down, because they don't adjust well as house pets. They work best at -20oC. The hot weather isn't good for them - they get too tired. Poor babies. We finished up our ride and came back on the big red truck - with great views of the glacier and the valley.
We changed out of our gear and got back on the road. We headed back the way we came. We stopped at a view spot where we had seen a bus on the way in (about 6 km past Husafell). I'm so glad we did! Here were two amazing waterfalls - Hraunfossar and Barnafoss. Hraunfossar were kind of gentle cascades that flow through a long lava rock ledge and empty into the river. It was so picturesque, and the water a great blue-ish color. We were surrounded by massive lave fields. Barnafoss were a little further upstream and also gorgeous. We walked around the area and went over the footbridge. Great!
We continued on the journey at 5:30 p.m. Hey, we haven't had lunch yet! We hogged down some snacks and made our way to Borgarnes to have dinner. We went to the Filipino restaurant - Matstofan - and enjoyed hearty portions. I had a fried rice dish that was pretty good. We made it back to Reykjavik at 9:00, and there were a ton of young people (18-20 years old) camped out on our sidewalk. It turns out that the Harry Potter book goes on sale tonight at midnight, and they all can't wait to get their copy. Many of them are dressed rather odd. Guess they are getting in the spirit of Harry Potter.
We had a message from Steve Leong from our cruise checking if we wanted to go out for drinks tonight. We walked down to his B&B, the Ugly Duckling, and left a note for him in the bar to meet us. We're hoping to go to the ice bar. That'll be fun.
-- later --
Steve called us and came to our place at 11:20 p.m. We all sat around and talked until 1:00 a.m. He is a wealth of knowledge on all things GAP. He got pretty friendly with Bruce Poontip (the owner) on our Antarctica trip and was pumping the rest of the employees for info. Our expedition leader, Kim, had made three previous attempts to get into Scoresbysund with no luck. Yeah we made it! I hope they were able to get there with the next cruise so the dogs could go home to Ittoqqortoormiit. Steve says it looks like GAP may be buying another expedition ship to do voyages in the Pacific. That'll be interesting to see what progresses. Brad (of Brad and Margaret) did a renovation on GAP's offices in Toronto. They've already outgrown the space in just one year. Good for them.
We headed off for the Ice Bar at 1:00 a.m. The streets were alive with people everywhere - going to the bars and partying on the streets. Lots of glass was broken on our street. The Ice Bar is in a neat yellow building. Unfortunately, it was closed, and we couldn't see what the hours are. Oh well...I had planned to bail on the group and go back to our apartment after our Ice Bar expedition, but now we had to find a new bar. Steve had a list of possibilities. I tried to get out of going by saying it was too smoky, but they decided to go to the Sircus bar with an outdoor patio. We waited and waited on line and it was sprinkling outside. The bar was really rock-n-roll noisy with 20-somethings trying to get in and lots of smoke. I made my excuses and left them on their own. I'm a party pooper. Got to bed at 2:00 a.m.
Saturday; July 16, 2005 Vacation - Day 18 On the runway - Reykjavik
It's over. We're getting ready to fly home. Darlene and I didn't manage to get an upgrade this time, but I'm in a pretty good row with plenty of leg room.
The girls got back from bar hopping around 4:30 a.m. I didn't hear a thing. They had some tales of weird music being played and everyone "gettin' down" to Dolly Parton in "9 to 5". They had a good time.

unhappy days with a naked chef recipe!
Have just 'tried' to make Sesame Seed Toffee Snaps from Happy Days with the Naked Chef and it is a disaster. How with such a simple recipe can things go wrong? I followed the recipe exactly but my sugar would not caramalise; after about 15 mins I turned out a stodgy mess with sugar still in its granulated form as the water began to evaporate off. Any ideas why? The only thing I can possibly think of is that the pan was too small and therefore the syrup too thick? It just wouldn't darken at all.
Any ideas anyone?

Re: unhappy days with a naked chef recipe!
Try a wider pan and maybe a lower temperature to start with; and aovid stiring or shaking it as you will only create nucleation sites for the sugar to crystalise

Re: unhappy days with a naked chef recipe!
Hi Tom,
I agree with White Rabbit. Did you turn up the heat too high? Would you like to try again, using low heat and DO NOT STIR the sugar mixture at all? Using a non-stick heavy bottom pan might helps too.
Good luck!

Re: unhappy days with a naked chef recipe!
I make caramel quite often & have found that sometimes it takes ages. I dont know why.
I just put a cup of sugar in my smallest saucepan (1 litre) with a splash of tap water & leave it on a medium heat while I get on with other things (usually popping corn)
The only time I have had it crystalise is when i have been impatient & tried to hurry it up.

Trojans Lead Inverness Invitational After Two Rounds
Sept. 20, 2005
Junior Joshua Wooding and senior Taylor Wood were first and second, respectively, after the first two rounds of the Inverness Intercollegiate Invitational to lead USC to first place in the 15-team field at Inverness Golf Club in Toledo, Ohio, on Monday (Sept. 19).
Wooding shot a 71 and 70 (141, 1-under) while Wood carded a 69 and 73 (142, par). Wood's two-under-69 in the first round was tied with three other golfers for low round of the day.
USC shot a combined 581, leading second-place Texas by 10 strokes with Coastal Carolina 11 back, Florida 12 back and host school Toledo 14 back.
Senior Bradley Shaw and freshman Tom Glissmeyer (in his Trojan debut) finished the first two round tieds for 24 at 150. Bradley posted a 73 and 77 while Glissmeyer had a 78 and 72. Junior Jordan Nasser was tied for 48th at 154 (76 and 78).
The invitational finishes Tuesday with one round.

Price line guests are ushered to a separate wing which is akin to lower deck hallways to inside staterooms on a cruise ship... dark narrow and dingy. and really long walk from front desk. Room was OK but nothing worth a 4 star rating.
pros: Nice pools and recreation areas
cons: Upon entering room, there was a scaffold directly outside our window with several male workers. When I contacted front desk to inquire if there was a different, more private room the answer was the workers would be finished in a few hours. Very awkward!
guest score:| 10 out of 10
I will bring my family here on every vacation. My husband has always wanted to stay at the dolphin since he was a child, he finally got his wish and he said it surpassed his every dream. We got a great deal on room rates for memorial day weekend. Pool area is spectacular, slip n slide was great, beach area awesome, swan boat rentals great, slide into pool and jacuzzi were wow! Everyone very friendly and helpful, clean rooms, great views. I'm spoiled now, I never wanna stay anywhere else again. 5 stars
pros: Close to everything, awesome pool area with lots of activites,water taxi to parks, hammocks, swan boat rentals, great photo ops. This is by far the best hotel ever that we have stayed. I will never stay anywhere else again.one word, awesome!
cons: No, everything was smooth, 15 dollar a day parking was fine with me, 17 dollar resort fee a day was also fine with me, for what u get it is all worth it.

This card isn't worth looking at.
It requires such a high spec workstation (in terms of memory, processor and gfx card) in order to work, that unless you are editing HD, you'd be better off using the workstation without the card.
Accelerated export is NOT available to users running Adobe CS4 products, and Matrox have no intention of making that feature available. I'll just say that again, NO ACCELERATED EXPORT UNDER ADOBE PREMIERE PRO CS4!!!
You can render faster than realtime with a high speed workstation anyway, plus matrox haven't bothered to implement multithreading so one's nice multi-core workstation chugs along on a single core!
And finally with regards to HD, the card only supports HDV format, AVCHD, P2, etc are not natively supported. Anyway you must capture (via component input, no HDMI) any HD footage you want. This hardly speeds up your workflow.
Don't believe me, have a gander at http://forum.matrox.com/rtx...
I can`t even read the review since all these Ashley ads pop up and another pops up when I hit close. Later

Poll first, then a rate rise
Economics Correspondent
Page Tools
The Reserve Bank has sent its strongest signal yet that interest rates will rise - but probably not until after the federal election.
In language that does not get any clearer for a central bank, the RBA said that it would be surprised if it did not lift rates to keep a lid on borrowing and future inflation.
"It would be surprising if Australian interest rates did not have to increase further at some stage in the current expansion," the Reserve said in its quarterly statement on the economy, released yesterday.
The warning came as official figures showed home lending fell for the second month in a row in June as investors left the market, and borrowing by owner-occupiers hit its lowest level for more than three years.
Economists said the warning was unusually blunt, suggesting that the Reserve was trying to use a central banking technique called jawboning to convince households to cut back on debt and shopping.
"The Reserve Bank couldn't have been more transparent in discussing interest rates if it tried," CommSec chief economist Craig James said. "The message is clear: if borrowing and spending continue at the current unsustainable rates then the Reserve Bank will have no alternative but to lift rates."
A quarter of a percentage point increase in rates would add about $16 to monthly repayments for every $100,000 of debt.
The Reserve is grappling with a morass of conflicting forces acting on the economy. It said exports were set to rise as the world economy gathered pace, consumer confidence was at its highest level in 10 years, retail spending was strong after the Government's budget cash and tax hand-outs and household borrowing was still expanding at an unsustainable rate.
However, the RBA suggested it was in no hurry to lift interest rates, arguing the housing market was slowing and underlying inflation was low. "Adjustment is occurring in the Australian housing market, which is no longer in the overheated condition seen at the end of last year," it said.
The Reserve Bank couldn't have been more transparent in discussing interest rates if it tried.
Craig James, CommSec
That claim was supported by figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics showing the total value of home loans issued by banks and other lenders fell 4.7 per cent during June, underpinned by an 8.8 per cent drop in borrowing by investors.
The US Federal Reserve is expected to raise its official interest rate today, after lifting it last month to 1.25 per cent from a historic low of 1 per cent. The Bank of England, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand and the Swiss National Bank have also raised interest rates recently.
Meanwhile, Treasurer Peter Costello yesterday tried to shift focus back towards the economy, welcoming the housing slowdown while stepping up his attack on Labor's financial credentials. "The economy is poised at a very delicate position and the Australian economy cannot afford mismanagement as it goes forward into those challenges," he said.
But Opposition treasury spokesman Simon Crean said households had never before spent as much of their income on mortgages and were set for more financial stress.

The pre-determined script
About a week ago, I had the chance to read an article in the New York Times about Fleet Week in New York. Fleet Week, for those who don't know, is supposed to be a week where the Navy sends ships into town and they host tours and the city hosts special events. Done properly a good time is had by all and I have fond memories of a couple of fleet weeks where the libations and the scenery ( if you get my drift) were just fine.
Well, good old mother Navy wants you to know that is all changed:
The High Line.
Shake Shack.
The ballet.
Fleet Week is not what it used to be. Once upon a time, sailors on leave on New York's streets after months at sea went a little wild — liquor and female companionship were the priorities, with barstool-tossing brawls often the unintended result. Now, not so much. "I spent way too much money at the American Girl store," said Chief Petty Officer Justin Brown, a member of the Navy for 17 years who said he came to the city with a detailed shopping list from his daughters, ages 4 and 7, in Virginia. "I got a bunch of clothes for the dolls, and accessories." The turn from those drunken sailors of shore leaves past to the American Girl doll-toting sailors of today has been long in coming, with cultural tourism slowly edging out more earthy pursuits.
To see this week's white-clad visitors exploring New York is to understand not just how sailors have changed, but how significantly the city that welcomes them has changed. Shopping bags, iced coffee, restaurant recommendations, a photo beneath a selfie stick. The writers of "On the Town" would surely have scratched their heads in wonderment.
Complete and utter rubbish.
If judging by any numbers of recent covers of Navy times as a benchmark, there is still plenty of lechery going on in today's Navy. This article, however, represents the Navy's PAO machine at work trying to convince us all that the great experiment was a complete success and that there were absolutely no costs involved to either the service or American society as a whole in the unleashing the great diversity monster.
I as I pointed out clearly , three years ago, the Navy PAO machine is always on the march trying to peddle this message. It would not surprise me one bit if the Navy paid the NYT to print that article.
Of course there were a few parts they conveniently left out. Such as: Getting breathalyzed crossing the quarterdeck returning. Being forced to go ashore with a buddy and making sure you actually named that buddy before you left the ship. or the curfews and liberty limits, expressly illegal in the US I might add.
They also neglected to point out the significant percentage of that 1800 Sailors who at some point in the evening probably ended up in a hotel or bathroom stall f*cking their fellow Sailors.
A deeper and more insightful article would have pointed out the higher adminstrative burden the Navy bears for this "kindler and gentler" Naval Service. But that's not the objective here.
Look, I understand the way the tide of history has turned. I get it. But what still makes me angry is the utter dishonesty that the diversity mafia wants to foist on us in "proving" how essential women are to the service.
Try getting them to release overall pregnancy statistics sometime. Or how many dual service couples there are-and the difficulties in colocation detailing. ( We'll not even point out that the fraternization barriers were inevitably crossed somewhere on the way to the altar.) I won't even try to get into the utter hypocrisy of the whole TIP nonsense.
There is no free lunch. Everything comes at a cost.
They should at least be honest about it.
Are the processes welcome? That depends on your point of view. If the reason for having armed forces is to guarantee national security, then the answer is clearly no. …………
One may also look at the problem in a different way. Over the last few decades people have become accustomed to think of the feminization of the military as if it were some great and mighty step towards women's liberation. In fact, it is nothing of the kind. For thousands, probably tens of thousands of years, we men have laid down our lives so that the women we love might live. To quote the Trojan hero Hector on this, he preferred going to hell a thousand times to seeing his wife, Andromache, weeping as she was led into captivity by one of the "copper-wearing Greeks."-Martin Van Creveld.

Dealing with iron bacteria stricken water softener, advice?
Alright guys, I am back with another dilemma. I have iron bacteria it turns out, which has killed my water softener. It is no longer softening according to a hardness test done by a local vendor and that is also evidenced by a slight hue of iron that is staining my bathtub.
I spoke to a local well place and they are going to shock the well to tame the levels of iron bacteria.
What nobody has been able to tell me, is how in the heck do I keep this from happening again?
I have a few options, one is a softener rebuild (its old, not too crazy about this idea). Then I could get a new softener. I am kind of in a jam here, the hard water really screws up my skin so its pretty important to me to get it fixed as well as I can.
Thanks everyone!
Shocking the well will help for a short time but the problem will probablly come back. If you have a galvanized tank or an aeration tank that could be the problem. If you dont have any sulfur (rotten egg odor) in your water you could switch to a diaphram tank, that would help alot. If you dont want to switch styles of tanks then try flushing the tank every month. As far as the softener I would replace it if it is old but just be warry that if the problem of the iron bacteria is not corrected the new softener will be fouled out in a short time. In Iowa we use Hydrogen Peroxide to treat Iron bacteria it works good. Chlorine will work but the smell is hard to get use to and it destroys everything.
A friend had this problem. Have you gotten a test to make sure it is iron bacteria. If it is there two different methods that I know of. One is an automatic tablet dispenser that automatically releases tablets down into your well. You will then need to remove the chlorine out with a charcoal filter. You could also install an inline system which will include a large storage tank and then a charcoal filter as well.
The good news is, no stink. I do have a galvanized pressure tank.
I am aware that the bacteria can come back, but the house sat unoccupied for at least 6 months when it was in forclosure. I am just looking to tame it. I definitely don't want to have to replace softeners every year though...
Just not sure how to best handle it. Thanks so much for the advice!
Yes, it was tested to be iron bacteria. I had no idea it was present before they tested my water. The water softener company suggested the shock treatment.
If that doesn't work you will have to spend about $1200 or so for the fixes I mentioned, maybe more. The tablet dropper just keeps on shocking the well water with the chlorine tablets.
What type of pump do you have?
Submeris or a jack pump
How old is the pump?
If it is a jack pump then your casing is more than likely a iron case. That in its self may be your problem.
First, let me tell you guys that I don't intend to come across as a know it all! I want to gather as much information as possible before I let the water companies come out and suggest solutions. I am willing to pay what it takes to fix this properly.
My current softener is 20yr old or so, and I have no idea how it lasted this long.
My pump is in the ground. My pressure tank is galvanized. I have been considering replacing it. I know a bladder tank isn't terribly expensive. My concern with the old tank was its proximity (back wall) to a lot of very expensive electronics gear I have been collecting over the years. My dad had one spring a leak and it peed everywhere!
I am just afraid that the companies coming in to give me advice/help are just going to sell me whatever is easiest for them and not necessarily sell me what is best for the situation.
I don't think anyone here thinks you are know it all..after all you are here:thumbsup:
First I wouldn't call Culligan or any water company out. I'm sure they have some knowledge about well systems but, I would look in the phone book or go to a local plumbing supply house and ask who does well service in the area. Then I would have a well man out.
A steel or fiberglass tank would be far better than that old galv tank..also they come in many sizes. The well man will be able to help you size and identify any problem you have and find the ones you don't know about.
Heck I'm a licensed plumber and I use a well man. One part is because I can pull the permit and he can't but he's been doing this type of work for 25 yrs. What a vast pool of knowledge.
We met up about 3 yrs ago when my well was doing the same thing as yours..except I had a jack pump and metal casing. Drilled new well, new pump, new pressure tank and lines...MUCH BETTER
Just my $.02
I think today Ill go next door and ask him if he has had any trouble with iron bacteria. Ill bet he is oblivious to it though. His well is very close to mine, within 50'.
Thanks guys. I do know a local well company, or two rather, that may be able to help.
Two wells close to each other can have completely concerns.
Many factors
Well depth
Well casing
Well pump
Well piping
Pressure tank design
Underground rock/dirt/layer formation
So you neighbor may or may not have any of the concerns you have.
My well is 270 feet deep and water table is 170 ft. Go a 1/4 mile in any direction from my well and well are 120-135 deep.
Iron in the water may come from the well but what I have seen is that if you are getting discoloration it more than likely your system.
Now, you can get the rotten egg smell Hydrogen Sulfate and you and your neighbor can both have and will come from the water. Really easy to treat.
If the well man or water guy says to install a clorine pellet drop..DON'T
Pellets sometimes do not dissolve all the way and can build up around the pump which will make it a mother F*%$$$ to pull down the road. Yea it takes several years to make this formation around the pump but, if the pump and system are sizer correctly it will be several years before service is needed.
Back to subject. All you have to do is go to Wal-Mart or any place and get 5% bleach and pour it down the well. Basically you are shocking the well and about 1 gl will do the trick.
Alright, well that gives me a place to start. I suppose shocking it myself wouldn't hurt. I was quoted 400ish to have it shocked and tested by a local well company.
I don't like the idea of adding a tablet dropper either. The opinion of my local well guy was to try shocking it myself to see if I could control it, then shock it with bleach every 6-8 months to keep everything in good order. My other concern is introducing a ton of bleach/chlorine to my septic. Surely that can't be too good for it.
Now, is there any hope for my softener I currently have? I see media is available online to replace it. Not sure if this is worthwhile, or if mine can be backflushed and cleaned out.
Thanks everyone, this is very helpful.
How to shock a well
Remove the top cover on the well.
Depending on the well pit or pit less adapter either way I add bleach this way. I have an old section garden hose about 10' in length attached to a funnel. I put the hose down the well so that the bleach doesn't get on the pit adapter. I then pour 1 gl of bleach 5%. In your case I probably do 2 or 3 gl since this well hasn't been clorinated in sometime. LET THE WELL SET FOR 12-24 hrs or try to take short shower and try to consume less water to allow the bleach to work. After 24 hrs turn on an outside hydrant and let it run until you can barely smell the bleach.
If you are in the shower and there is a strong bleach smell then you need to flush out more. A large amount of bleach ordors in the shower can cause lungs to get a burn-NOT GOOD
As i said use the outside hydrant/garden hose connection to flush system. This way it won't go down into the septic tank. I always recommend to flush a box of rid-x to help stablize the bacteria in the septic
Where do you live?
Do you know the hardness of your water? Maybe you don't need a softner
On my well I have soft water. Dakota aquifer. I have the water come into the house go through a sediment filter than a large carbon filter (for taste) and then into a UV for bacteria.
For water to drink we use an RO system
I live in south central WI, near Madison. and when I had soft water I had no spots on dishes etc.. from the dishwasher. Everything comes out noticeably spotty. The water treatment guys told me that the water was hard, but didn't say how hard because I didn't let the petcock drain for long enough before I pulled my sample.
I actually have 5 gallons of bleach, because I had to bleach the concrete in the basement when we moved in due to pet odors. Ill follow your advice one of these weekends. Ill go ahead and shock it then leave town for the weekend to let it sit.
Thanks for your input. Ill shock it myself and have it retested then go from there.
DO you know the depth of your well?
After you shock your well be prepared to let it run for close to 12 hrs to flush the system.
I will turn on the hose over night about 1/2 way open

A red just released this statement regarding potential Sejuani changes. Kinda iffy on the "detonation slowing instead of stunning part", that'd make it like a ghetto Leona ult.
More red posts abound. Stuff mentioned include Karma's rework (which they admit to having to restart from scratch 6 weeks ago), Norse King Darius is still WIP, Taric will receive a visual rework (although not very soon), Anivia will receive a new skin (maybe it's the Battlecast one that the Battlecast Cho skin hinted), and we may see champions get stun animations added.
The parts where they thought Karma's "impractical dress" is bland really worries me, as it just screams that they'll make her sexualized like every other non-Yordle/non-child/non-animal female in the fucking game.
Is this skin kind brown in Darius? If so i rather get bioforge Darius
Out of the last 8 released female champions (Vi, Nami, Elise, Syndra, Diana, Zyra, Lulu, Fiora) it's clearly nothing but tits-n-ass, right?
People are reaching for no reason at all and it's beyond silly.
EDIT: And I'll give you Diana maybe...
I'm not exactly sure how you get to "Tits n ass" from someone like Vi. Or Diana. Or Fiora. Nami's debatable - I don't think she is, but can understand why others do.
I could easily keep this up though, next 4 champions is a 50/50 split as well, with Shyvana/Riven and Sejuani/Ahri.
People need to stop saying Riot released nothing but tits n ass when it is blatantly false. Annie remake had people up the same "zomg, she's gonna be a pervy teen now". They even removed her panties. And not in the way you'd expect from a sex-driven company.
It's sheer non-sense and I am getting fed up of people repeating it like a mantra.
I think this is the reason why people don't like the idea that the few non-sexualized characters receive the same treatment. Karma is one of them.
EDIT: I actually went to check how many non-sexualized females there were and I found it hilarious how the few ones that aren't have at least one skin which changes that. W2G Riot.
And it does sound pretty good, given the slow is worthwhile, ofcourse. And as he said, it'd allow them to make the rest of her kit more powerful so she won't become nothing but a "one-trick"-pony with her ultimate.
I don't see how Vi is "oversexualized"...
Nami has an exposed chest, but what do people expect? She's a fucking mermaid, nobody complained about Slithice in DotA.
Elise... I have to agree with that one, she should be more flat-chested to fit her model, since a shapeshifter should be agile and stuff.
Diana looks perfect, except her hair, I fucking hate that hair. (Except Dark Valkyrie which is why I bought it lol)
Zyra... well she's a plant so what do people expect? A plant wrapped in clothes? Get it together guys, lol.
Lulu is the most oversexualized champion ever, I mean seriously do you see her riding that stick when casting whimsy? Oh maaaaaaaaaaaaan. [/sarcasm]
I feel like Fiora is fine, her movements are that of a fencer, and fencers are supposed to be agile and she has the model to back it up.
I really don't get why people are complaining.
~ "I've got a special deal... a one way ticket to hell!" ~
Go down the list more. Feel free to try and persuade me, but your quest will be futile. Before I posted my previous response, I went back to early 2011. It does not change. Unless you have the hots for librarians with glasses in which case I suppose Vayne might tickle your pickle.
Also, mr Stylus left the following:
We are NOT making her a stripper or ANYTHING CLOSE. I have made EXTRA SURE that visual rework efforts steered away from this trend. We are retaining classy and elegant.
There's a TON of champion who're well-covered up. People are nitpicking pointless things; literally making mountains out of rocks (I forgot the saying, okay?!).
I'm Duiliath on this one.
And really, another Darius skin? What about my Trundle, Riot? Sadface.
I love how "oversexualized female champion" = "omg there's tits there get them away".
I will say that there are unnecessary large badonkers on some champions like Elise, but for others? Come on, boobies are part of a woman. They're there. You can't just tuck them up and hide them because you want to make the game seem like the most gallant knight-story ever.
By the way, this needs to be a thing.

What is in this article?:
- T&O Refrigeration's success signifies a journey of high excellence in the challenging and ever-changing world of supermarket refrigeration.
- What works: honesty, persistence, quality workmanship, technician education, and treating people right.
Steve Tibbetts: "Being a regionally-based player is a key to our success. When we first opened our Nashville branch, it was a struggle. But now we have found some good people who have been with us for several years. It takes a while to plant those roots when you're expanding into other markets. When people try to expand too quickly, it can lead to their downfall."
Old School Guy Appreciates the New
He's an old-school guy, but Tibbetts knows it would be foolish to stay entrenched in the past. Therefore, T&O adapts to new ideas, technologies, and processes as needed. A new service format is an example. In the past, technicians were assigned a territory, and were expected to catch service calls and complete preventive maintenance on their own. They're now assigned a partner.
"One week, a tech catches service calls for his area, plus his partner's area, while the partner completes his PMs," he explains. "They switch roles the following week. This enables each tech to complete their PMs with minimum interruption and has resulted in overall reduced service calls and has reduced our store leak rate substantially. I'm proud to say our leak rate is single digits."
All technicians now carry iPhones, which has improved communication and given techs access to email and Internet support.
The company is also upgrading computer hardware and business software (SAMPro, by Data Basics) and is going paperless in August. "This should improve efficiency in many ways. It will allow us to provide more meaningful and timely information to our customers," Tibbetts explains.

WASHINGTON – With her poll numbers continuing to drop, GOP presidential candidate Michele Bachmann has intensified her criticism of the other Republicans in the race.
Before a small crowd at the Family Research Council in Washington, DC, Bachmann first lashed out at President Barack Obama, accusing his administration of engaging in a "massive redistribution of wealth" before turning to her GOP rivals.
"But sadly far too many Republicans aspire to be frugal socialists," Bachmann, who currently represents Minnesota's 6th Congressional District, said. "We cannot preserve liberty for ourselves and our posterity if the choice in next November is between a frugal socialist and an out-of-control socialist."
During a brief question and answer period with reporters, Bachmann declined to elaborate further on her criticism of the other Republican candidates telling reporters, "that's part of the puzzle you figure out."
But it wasn't hard to read between the lines: her attacks focused on all of the three apparent GOP frontrunners, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former Godfather's Pizza executive Herman Cain. Bachmann has criticized each candidate for not hewing sufficiently close to conservative principles, in Romney's case for the health care law he enacted while governor, in Perry's case for deviating from GOP dogma on illegal immigration and Cain for not coming out vigorously enough in opposition to legalized abortion.
This isn't Bachmann's first time lashing out at her opponents. She dubbed Perry's proposal to vaccinate young girls against the HPV virus, "Perrycare" and in a dig at Cain, who's currently engulfed in a controversy around sexual harassment allegations, has told audiences that the Republican candidate should offer "no surprises." But so far none of Bachmann's attacks has helped reverse her ebbing poll numbers.
A Washington Post/ABC poll put Bachmann at 4 percent support nationwide, a drop of 3 points from a month earlier and more than 10 points from her campaign's high-water mark in mid-July.

What went wrong with the Tigers?
I'm sure many will agree that the World Series was tough to watch if you were a Detroit Tigers fan.
Seeing the Tigers get swept out of the series by the San Francisco Giants after sweeping the New York Yankees out of the Fall Classic was something no Tigers fan expected.
If you would have told me the Giants would sweep Detroit after coming from behind in two different series to get to the World Series, I would have asked you to submit to drug testing.
But once the shock of the losing wears off, a lot of people will see what went wrong – that is if you didn't see it already by watching the games.
The Bengals didn't hit at all in the series against the Giants. That was obvious by scoring zero runs in two of the four games played.
The starting pitching was fine. The bullpen – not so much, but it wasn't ungodly horrible.
But they weren't the problem.
The main reason I thought the Tigers lost the series was they took the wrong approach to hitting the G-Men's pitching.
It was personified in Miguel Cabrera, who had homered in Game 4 to give the Tigers a short-lived lead. Cabrera watched a fastball go right down the middle of the plate to end baseball season. Normally Cabrera would turn that pitch around and make it a souvenir to someone in the left-field seats.
It didn't help that Prince Fielder, who signed a $219 million contract to hit the ball, did exactly the opposite in the Series, getting a whole one hit in four games.
The concern was justified. After all, look at the middle two games of the ALCS. The Tigers won those only because the Yankees were worse hitters than they were, scoring one and zero runs in those two games while the Bengals had a total of four.
And as fans kept waiting for Detroit to suddenly break out of the hitting funk they were in, the losses mounted. At no point in time was the hitting woes more evident than when the Tigers hit into two double plays in Game 3 with one out and runners on first and second.
What I saw was the Tigers were so concerned about hitting they started going after all the junk Frisco was sending up to the plate.
Mostly the Tigers were swinging at balls in the dirt, while the fastballs that came up there were watched like the house by the side of the road (to quote the great Ernie Harwell).
Had the Tigers been sitting on the fastball more, they would have taken a few more pitches than they did and they would have either walked more or hit better.
But the Tigers were impatient at the plate, and it showed in all those strikeouts.
So for now the Tigers will have to go back to the drawing board and see where they could improve the hitting again.
I don't think making personnel changes will be the answer. I just think a better hitting approach will do more to straighten out the team than another big bat.

The Government will later this month announce details of a controversial national identity scheme which will allow people to use their mobile phones and social media profiles as official identification documents for accessing public services.
People wishing to apply for services ranging from tax credits to passports will be asked to choose from a list of familiar online log-ins, including those they already use for social media sites, banks, and supermarkets, to prove their identity. Once they have logged in correctly, the site will send a message to the agency authenticating that user's identity.
The Cabinet Office is understood to have held discussions with the Post Office, banks, mobile phone companies and Facebook, Google, Microsoft, PayPal and BT.
Ministers are anxious the programme is not denounced as a "Big Brother" national ID card by the back door, which is why data will not be kept centrally by any government department. Indeed, it is hoped the Identity Assurance Programme will end any prospect of a physical national ID card being introduced in the UK.
The identification systems used by the private companies were subjected to security testing and awarded an "Identity Provider" kitemark, meaning that they have made the list of between five and 20 approved organisations that will be announced on 22 October.
The public will be able to use their log-ins from a set list of "trusted" private organisations to access Government services, which are being grouped together on a single website called Gov.uk.
The system will be trialled when the Department for Work and Pensions starts the roll-out of the Universal Credit scheme in April.
But privacy campaigners are not wholly convinced. "Although this is a fine scheme in principle and is backed by ministers, the danger is that it could be sidelined and used as a fig leaf by the data-hungry government departments," said Guy Herbert, general secretary of No2ID, which has been consulted by the Cabinet Office.

It has been a little quiet over at the sticky and sweet for the past few weeks but we've still been very busy!
There has a been an amazing trip to England and New York City for Christmas and New Year, I started a dream job and WE GOT ENGAGED!
My avid Instagram stalkers would think this is old news but I wanted to briefly share our engagement news here too.
Mr Sticky asked me to spend the rest of our lives together during a romantic carriage ride through Central Park in New York on Christmas Day. And I was honoured to say yes.
The Sticky family were celebrating Christmas in NYC together and we thought it would be fun to have carriage ride together before Christmas lunch. Mr Sticky was very insistent that we share a carriage with no third wheels (sorry Cousin Sticky!).
After a few short minutes of me snapping photos and oohing and ahhing at the beautiful scenery, Mr Sticky popped the big question much to my surprise. I had hoped one day we would be engaged but never dreamed it would be at that very moment.
We spent the rest of the carriage ride huddled under a blanket with giddy smiles trying our best to ignore the driver who was unhelpfully pointing out passing landmarks. Gee thanks, Driver!
We haven't made any wedding plans yet or even thought about setting a date. For now we are just enjoying the 'engagement bliss'. We have started to think about engagement parties and investigating potential engagement ring options. The planning will come with time and we both agree the cake tasting will definitely be our favourite part.
It was a magical place to become engaged and New York will always be our 'special place'. Every Christmas day I will think back to that gorgeous scenery where I made the best decision of my life.
Thank you to everyone who sent their well wishes over social media. Lots of love, Mr Sticky and soon-to-be-Mrs Sticky xx

Bruce Cambell: "Just me baby, just me".
- The Army of Darkness, one of the finest films ever made.
I suppose I should start with the G8 Summit. The G8 Summit is an annual meeting of the eight 'richest' countries in the world; UK, USA, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, Canada and Russia. They address international issues such as the environment, nuclear energy and responsibility, developing nations, disease, terrorism and world trade. It is seen by many as a complete waste of time, and is always the scene of mass demonstrations, also seen by many as a complete waste of time.
As previously mentioned, this year is was in St Petersberg, and we vowed to go along to bring you the first hand gritty reporting that you've come to expect from the intrepid travelling duo that is Mike and Vinny
So here's why we never made it.
St Petersburg is a lovely place, and hardly at all what we expected. Canals meander lazily through the city (as canals should), cafe culture is a prevalent here as anywhere else in Europe, and drunken lunatics stumble screaming through the streets caked in their own dried blood.... but not very often.
There are a lot of drunks here. I mean a lot. So many in fact, that were it not for the indecipherable street names I might think I was still in England.
And on that note, another big thanks to Lonely Planet for putting roman characters on the street names on their maps. It really makes things easy to find when you're looking for Nebriski Street, and the sign on the actual street is in Cyrillic Script and says "squiggly line backwards k number three little picture of a bird drinking water from a stream".
But this really isn't explaining why we didn't go to the G8 Summit... So we were at the hostel, and heading out for drinks with the aforementioned randoms that inhabited it; Bert and Emma from Holland, Gemma from Ireland, Liz from New Zealand, Charis and Ona from Australia and Bruce Cambell from such films as the Evil Dead trilogy... He wasn't actually Bruce Cambell, he was an Australian called Corey but the likeness was quite remarkable
We had some drinks. We went from a place I can now barely remember to an underground bar, where a Russian guy bought us a round of drinks on the proviso that we shut up. Feeling suitably welcome we left (but only after Vinny bought him a drink in return and he refused to drink it) and ended up in a nightclub. It was a great thing - a 'rock and roll' club that had a Swingers esque swing band playing live downstairs, and two rooms upstairs - a choice of horrible pop music or hardcore Russian techno (not technically music, more like an Industrial Revoloution happening in your head).
As we're so northerly here, it doesn't actually get dark. It kind of hints at it for a while, makes these subtle gestures around midnight like it's giving it some serious thought, then it's light again - although in the meantime we're treated to a few Auroras in the sky which are very pretty - not the big stuff, just the edge.
So, suffice to say, great fun as had by all, and we didn't get to bed until 6AM
The last couple of days have been similar repeats of the first. Everybody tries to leave St Petersburg but something goes horribly wrong and it backfires, so the only thing left is to drink obscenely cheap Vodka and talk about what could have been. The group of backpackers at the hostel have been among the greatest teams we have encountered thus far, and if we were prone to wear hats, we would certainly remove them in their general direction.
In St Petersburg, nightclubs have lots of mirrors. It is completely normal for people to stand in a line, gyrating like they have an irate chipmunk stuck up their arse, checking themselves out in the mirror.... To Ice Ice Baby. We watched this for some time, completely baffled. They appeared to see something in the mirror that we certainly did not.
That'll be the Vodka.
As they are such stars, and not just because they'll be reading this entry, we want to thank Bert, Emma, Ona, Charis, Gemma, Liz and Bruce Cambell for being absolute legends and putting the "Comrade" into "Bend over, Comrade"...
Six things I've learnt about Stalin and Bruce Cambell:
1. Stalin gave each city a quota of people to kill after his second wife killed herself. His quota for St Petersburg was 55,000.
2. Bruce Cambell lives in a converted Boeing 727, as he distrusts things made of wood.
3. Stalin once claimed that the displayed remains of Lenin in Red Square are fake. He said this so that his own remains would become more famous. They didn't.
4. Bruce Cambell's next project is a film called My Name Is Bruce, which he is directing as well as starring in... playing himself.
5. Stalin was Time Magazine's "Man of the Year" in both 1939 and 1942.
6. Bruce Cambell has written a book called "Make Love The Bruce Cambell Way"
And, because I like being purposely vague and also because our new found friends will be reading, I'll leave with some "Quotes from St Petersburg"....
"Australians eat their young"
"If that woman gets up and dances on the table I'm going to be sick"
"Just me baby, just me"
"Can I come and live with you when I get to your country?"
"Hows about them Knicks?"
"Inside out handbags"
"That was the worst taste joke I've ever heard"
"Australians cook babies on barbecues"
"I can't believe there's more than one film where a tree rapes a woman"
"What are you doing?" ........ "I'm asleep".

Edie Hilliard
A trail-blazer for women in radio since the early '70s, Edie Hilliard spent the first half of her career on the station side, starting in marketing and promotion for a group of stations, then moving into sales in 1975 at KJR Seattle, where within two years she was named sales manager. In 1981 Edie became general manager at KING AM Seattle, one of the first women to hold that position in any major market.
In 1987 Edie moved to the syndication side of radio, heading up Seattle-based Broadcast Programming (BP), which provided music formats and programming services to radio stations. Within six years BP emerged as the leading syndicator of music formats, and in 1997 Edie moved BP into satellite-delivered daypart personality programs for music stations, beginning with Delilah, the hugely successful syndicated program for Adult Contemporary music stations, followed by country programs, Lia and Danny Wright, and other programs for AC stations. BP was acquired by Jones Media Networks, Ltd., in 1999, and merged with Jones Radio Networks (JRN), to form the largest independent network in the industry, providing programs and services to more than 5000 stations. As VP/COO of JRN, Edie had responsibility for all of JRN's radio programming operations, and served on the board of directors of Jones Media Networks.
In Spring 2005 Edie was recruited to serve as Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer of GreenStone Media, LLC, to develop radio programming by and for women for distribution to commercial FM radio stations.
Throughout her career Edie has been active in industry associations and initiatives, including serving on the RAB and state association boards. Recipient of numerous industry awards for her achievements, Edie was selected in 2000 by readers of Radio Ink as Number One on the magazine's list of Radio's Most Influential Women. Widely recognized as a leader and mentor, she continues to work with organizations that encourage and support the advancement of women in the radio industry.

New chief executive Ben Verwaayen vowed to "kick-start" Broadband Britain when he took up his post at the start of this month.
Today he said: "Broadband is the future for Britain and we're putting it at the heart of BT's plans for growth in the UK mass market. This will drive the whole market forward by making broadband affordable, attractive and accessible."
BT said it would cut the amount it charges other inter-net service providers such as AOL and Freeserve from £25 a month to £14.75 which, it said, would in turn allow them to charge consumers less than £30 a month - at least £10 less than current rates.
Broadband uses the copper cable that connects most homes and businesses to BT's main fibre-optic network but allows it to carry data at more than 10 times present speeds.
This not only allows always-on internet access but also brings the potential for such services as video on demand and teleworking.
Today's price cut could prove damaging to NTL and Telewest, Britain's two dominant but heavily debt-laden cable companies, who have been slow in their roll-out of always-on internet access.
Until now fewer than 150,000 UK subscribers have taken up the high-speed asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) service, compared with about 2.1 million in Germany. Prime Minister Tony Blair has said he wants to see the creation of Broadband Britain by 2005.
Verwaayen set an ambitious target of one million ADSL subscribers by the summer of 2003. He said: "This is a stretching programme but achievable. Through substantial reductions in the cost of providing service we can set prices that will stimulate the market strongly, and make money out of it. This is a sustainable business model."
BT is not only launching its own advertising campaign to publicise its lower wholesale prices but will also support marketing initiatives such as direct mail shots and call centre support for more than 40 service providers who are customers of BT Wholesale.
Broadband is presently available to customers served by just over 1000 mainly urban exchanges. BT said it would seek partnerships such as the one it has with the South West of England Regional Development Agency to push the service into rural communities.Reuse content

Bachelors of Arts in SociologyWhat do you do with a degree in Sociology? Almost anything you put your mind to.
Sociology is the scientific study of human behavior. If you want to understand social behavior in the real world, sociology is where you find the answers. From large-scale social processes occurring in the wider society beyond the individual to the dynamics of social interaction within small groups, sociology investigates the complexities of human social relationships. Regardless of your chosen career path, having a critical understanding of the social world will put you at the forefront of your career field!
Graduates of sociology have gone on to careers in administration and management (in government, private business, and nonprofit organizations), marketing, sales, politics, communications, social services (youth, senior, and poverty), corrections/investigation (local, state, and federal), and public relations, just to name a few. In addition, a degree in sociology can help prepare you for many professional degree programs when paired with one of the pre-professional programs at UAB. Sociology graduates have gone on to law, business, and medical school.
