I purchased these earrings as a gift. They are petite but I expected that based on a review that compared them to the size of a dime. That was helpful to know. They were very nice looking, understated but classy. I just got the thank you in the mail and the friend I gave them to said that they're are "beautiful." Hopefully they'll wear well.
One of my favorite go to earrings. Goes with everything. Great size and secure without a clasp. I recommend!
I LOVE these earrings. I get compliments every time I wear them and they will look great with almost everything you wear. Definite must buy!
Love these earrings, they are so pretty. they are comfortable. and easy to wear. i put a small earring stopper and bent the post more together. Gently i have no problem keeping them in my ears. Just love them. Bought a.Celtic eternal pendant.to go with these and they.look good together. Highly recommend these.
Lovely and just the right size to be noticed but not excessive; a perfect gift - the recipient loved them!
I really like these but, they are smaller than I thought they would be. I like bigger earrings.
Quality is good. The earrings are not flimsy. Gave as a gift and the person that received the earring was very happy with them.
I returned them as I have to be careful to LOVE what I purchase these days. I really am impressed with Overstock's service in all areas. I will always shop here first. O'stock continues to be very helpful if I need help with anything. This one purchase was just not for me, but that's just me!
I bought these as a present for my niece and was very pleased about the quality. I have a similar pair in copper and love them, so thought she would enjoy these in silver.
amazing earrings & the knot work was perfect & perfect size & not to heavy on the ears

text: Dear Residents and Visitors of Los Angeles County, Keeping you out of harm's way is our mission each day at the Los Angeles County Fire Department. On any day of the year, more than 900 firefighters and lifeguards are on duty to make sure that we are there when you need us. We take great pride in providing exceptional public safety services to you all year round, and we've been doing just that for 88 years. As our local weather starts to heat up, I want to remind you of some important safety issues. While everyone enjoys fun in the sun in the backyard swimming pool or at the beach, your local County firefighters and lifeguards want you to stay safe. Please read our pool safety tips to stay safe, especially young children. Fire season is just around the corner. Your property may be located in an area frequently threatened by wildfire. The next several months will be a dangerous time of year for destructive wildfires, as grasses and other existing vegetation continue to dry out through the summer season. While we received an abundance of rain over the winter, the net result has been a large, rapidly drying grass crop. Throughout the summer and fall months these grasses increase the potential for fire starts and damaging losses. Take the time to complete your brush clearance now, so you can relax when the hot days of summer arrive. Now in its third year in Los Angeles County, the "READY! SET! GO!" Wildfire Education Program can help make your home and landscaping more fire-resistive, and it will keep you and your family safe. It includes a 12-page Wildfire Action Plan and a series of checklists to create your own Family Disaster Plan. It will also explain why leaving early – well ahead of a fast-approaching wildfire – gives your family the best chance of surviving a wildfire. Please download and read this publication now, and then take action before the fires arrive. Your actions will make a difference and may even save your property – and your lives – from a devastating wildfire. If you have any questions, I invite you to stop by your local fire station to speak with your local firefighters, call our Public Information team at (323) 881-2411, or email us at email@example.com Have a safe and happy summer. Sincerely, Chief Osby's Biography | Creating a Home Evacuation Plan | Brush Clearance Tips |

I have been looking for an "affordable" house in Menlo Park/Portola Valley for two years and this recent sale caught my eye:
I appears that the house sold in June of last year for $1.5M, and then resold in December for $1M, yet the last names are the same on the tax records, just different first names. The transaction was recorded on the public record, but the house was never put back up for sale.
I guess I didn't even realize this was possible. Why don't more people do this to reduce property taxes if it is legal??

For Navy SEAL Team 6, A Huge Loss For A Small Unit
August 8, 2011 Just three months ago, Navy SEAL Team 6 scored a monumental triumph with the raid that killed Osama bin Laden. Now the same team is in mourning after more than 20 of its members were killed in Afghanistan.

Pentagon Could See Deep Cuts In Debt Deal
August 3, 2011 Cuts to the Defense Department could range from $400 million to $800 million. The incoming chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff calls that second figure "extraordinarily difficult and very high risk." Cuts that large would force the Pentagon to start making some tough choices.
Conflict In Libya
U.S. Looks For Ways To Break Libya Stalemate
July 26, 2011 Four months after NATO airstrikes began, an unyielding Moammar Gadhafi is still facing off against the opposition. The Obama administration is looking for ways to tip the scales. One U.S. official is pushing for using clandestine action to target Gadhafi.
As Leadership Changes, So Could Afghanistan Strategy
July 18, 2011 A year after President Obama asked Gen. David Petraeus to jump-start the counterinsurgency operation in Afghanistan, he's handing over command. And there's a question of whether the change also signals a shift in strategy — from fixing Afghanistan to taking out insurgents with targeted raids and drone strikes.
In Iraq, Panetta Has Tough Words On Troop Deadline
July 11, 2011 During a visit to Baghdad, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta urged the Iraqis to make a decision about whether they want U.S. troops to stay beyond the end of this year. He also said the U.S. is concerned "about Iran and weapons they're providing to extremists here in Iraq."
Fresh From The CIA, Panetta Lands In Afghanistan
July 9, 2011 Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta arrived in Afghanistan on Saturday for his first visit to that country since assuming the position. Panetta's view of the war there may be colored by his experience as director of the CIA and the successful raid that killed Osama bin Laden.

Gates To Depart Pentagon After Serving Bush, Obama
June 27, 2011 Robert Gates has served under two administrations — the first to do so for different parties. He's known for speaking his mind when asked direct questions, and for letting troops know how their deployment weighs on him.
Will Bin Laden's Death Affect Afghan Insurgency?
May 12, 2011 The Obama administration plans to pull some troops out of Afghanistan in July. But administration officials say the overall strategy will remain as is — in part because it's still unclear what effect bin Laden's death is going to have on the insurgency.

text: The water is starting to clear in a few areas. The grass is non existent. Bait schools are every where, range from Glass Minnows to Mullet The Jacks are having a field day. Saw a school last week that the average would have broke 10 pounds. Even with bad conditions the fishing is still fair First stop of the day was almost a disaster. Had a wind knot that took a while to work out. The lure, a custom tied shrimp jig was just lying on the bottom about 20 feet from the boat. After clearing the knot, started the retrieve. Felt kind of heavy and then started to run, Nice 17 inch Flounder. Guest of honor at dinner. Worked back into a good pocket, but gave up quick because a Shark was working hard. Out to the edges on the spoil islands. First stop yielded a 17.5 inch Trout. Next edge gave up a 19.5 inch Trout and a pair of short Snappers. Picked up a 15 inch Snook, nothing special except for the Trout that tried to eat it. Started to catch a couple of baby 'cudas every week, hope they go out to sea before they grow up. Boat traffic was a bit too much when combined with the wind, so it was back to a residential canal. This stop produced a 23.5 inch Trout. Nothing else in the area so it was off to the mud. Too dirty to sight cast so I worked the trough off of the Mangroves. Produced a 19 inch Red. Nothing else. Quick check back in the pocket, nothing hitting, but a large Tail was up and working. Not a Red, more than likely a Drum or Sheepshead.

Shampoo, Conditioner, styling agents—that's the usual drill when it comes to maintaining my locks. That is until I came across Wen by Chaz Dean Cleansing Conditioner ($28). This is a conditioner that is meant to replace shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in. It has a creamy texture that looks like your typical conditioner, but it also has cleansing properties so you can scrub your scalp with it. The formula is free of harsh chemicals and sulfates like sodium lauryl sulfate.

What constitutes a habit? And once a habit is formed, what turns it into a "bad" habit? I shop for cosmetics pretty much everyday. Sometimes I just window shop and sometimes I only buy a $2 lip gloss, but I'm always looking, always ready to pick up my newest favorite mascara. As a confirmed cosmoholic, I ask this of you others out there: Is this a problem? Tell us:
Please let me begin by saying I am not one of those haters that's against your new short bob. I think it's a refreshing change. Good for you! How-ev-ah. This does not give you license to embrace old lady updos. I've waited patiently, watching your red carpet appearances as of late. And after your bow at last night's Screen Actor's Guild Awards, I can be quiet no longer. Enough with the abuela updos! I mean no offense to stylish abuelas everywhere.
Smurfette was by far the most glamorous Smurf in the village! Her bright blue skin tone, yellow blonde hair, and white hat suited her well on screen, but it's hard to believe these colors can translate into a wearable makeup palette.
Frizz is definitely at the top of my list of hair complaints. I've noticed several of you readers (rodriguez.lily_79, Rich_21, moni444, AltanticCityChica, Yesi82, etc.) feel the same way. Have you ever wondered why we get these annoying flyaways? I always have, so I did some research.

Global IPv6 Deployment22.8% 500 sites tested0 DNS errors 114 with IPv6 |
China4.1% 493 sites tested |

What do these numbers mean?
This experiment attempts to answer the following question: If an average user had a working installation of IPv6 on their machine, how useful would it be to them? What percentage of the services and sites the average user regularly accesses are IPv6-enabled? In other words, the experiment attempts to quantify the usefulness of IPv6 to the average end user, given the current deployment of IPv6 in the Internet.
The experiment does not track how many users or hosts use IPv6 in the current Internet. It also does not track how many sites have configurations of IPv6 that are not accessible by average users from the Internet.
The Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a network layer protocol for packet-switched internetworks, intended to replace the current IPv4 standards.
The IETF statistics are based on a list of domain names that are derived from the email addresses of currently-active document authors of Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) documents. This data set was included to investigate if the organizations that IETF authors come from are more progressive in deploying IPv6, compared to the rest of the Internet.
How are these numbers generated?
The scripts that update this page retrieve the names of the web sites that are most popular across the globe, as well as in select countries, from alexa.com in regular intervals. They then check whether the DNS entry for each site name reflects that it uses IPv6. The numbers above show the percentage of these top sites that are IPv6-enabled, as well as the absolute numbers.
Note that although the DNS entry for a site may indicate that IPv6 is available, this does not necessarily mean that actually using IPv6 with the site will succeed. I'll eventually add code to verify that IPv6 can be used with sites that claim to enable it.
How representative are these numbers?
They're reasonably representative, but not perfect. One issue is that the sample sets are very small; alexa.com typically offers lists of 100 to 500 top sites for free, depending on the country. More importantly, though, the sample sets are derived from web site names, because that's all alexa.com offers. It is not clear that checking IPv6 deployment based on a set of web site names is resulting in numbers that represent deployment of IPv6 in the broader Internet.
How have these numbers been changing over time?
Funny you should ask. The graphs below (click on each image to get a PDF that lets you zoom in) illustrate the weekly changes of IPv6 deployment in the various sample sets since these measurements started in October 2007:
This graph shows the same data as the one above, but zooms in on the interesting area:
Significant jumps in the historic data (e.g., fall 2008 or spring 2009) are usually due to alexa.com changing what data they make available, or on tracking bugs having been fixed. The latter fixes are often based on suggestions of visitors to this page. See the acknowledgements below.

The village of Ruidoso reached a six-figure settlement with former Ruidoso fire chief Tom Gavin over his firing in 2011.
"His termination is expunged and he will be resigning," Gavin's attorney J. Robert Beauvais said Monday. The village admits no liability for the action. Gavin has since moved on and was hired in June 2012 as a police officer by the city of Ruidoso Downs.
"He feels vindicated," Beauvais said. "He was doing his job." Gavin only complained when his enforcement of the village fire code was usurped by the action of the village manager and officials, which he felt put residents and visitors at risk of life and property, Beauvais said.
"His termination was driven by his whistle blowing and he was confident they would have to give him his job back," the attorney said. "He recognizes it was not in the best interests of the town for him to be forced on the village in a position as important as fire chief."
Gavin hopes citizens will be vigilant and insist the village recruit a competent and qualified fire chief, "instead of slipping the acting chief in without even advertising," Beauvais said.
In May 2012, all federal claims against the village asserted by Gavin were dismissed, but state issues were referred back to the district court. At the time, Beauvais pointed out that he originally
Beauvais contended in the Gavin lawsuit that the former fire chief had a property right in his employment, not in the specific job title. After registering a good faith complaint about a fire inspection compliance issue at a local business, the fire chief was willing to resign from his position and accept a village offer of a lateral transfer to an emergency management director position.
Village officials contended he later repudiated that agreement in a letter from his attorney and he was fired, a position contested by Gavin.
Gavin served as fire chief for Ruidoso from February 2009 to Jan. 5, 2011.
Village officials were not available for comment regarding the settlement.

I had been planning on writing this for quite some time, but the responses to the post by Judson Phillips' Los Angeles, Mexico has spurred me to let everyone in on a few things. I am subjected to more California bashing and "just give it to Mexico", "Californians are just turds" etc. because of that blog. I and others like me work our butts off on the front lines of this war! I and others like me go toe to toe with La Raza on a daily basis because they have taken over our neighborhoods! I mean that in the physical sense!
To the members of Tea Party Nation, I just want to thank you for making our situation worse and bringing home to me that Californians are on their own. I may need to rethink any other activities other than saving my state. I thought as American's we all were working together to take back our government from the top down. Below, are some of the things none of you know about California, but should.
There is a notion out there that Californians are just crazy liberals, tree huggers, socialists, etc. That is not true for a large number of Californians. As a matter of fact, according to the CA Secretary of State website, there are more counties with Republican voters than Democrat voters. However, two counties account for the higher numbers of Democrat voters overall. Those are San Francisco and Los Angeles. They just happen to have the largest amount of liberal, socialist, marxists, etc. That is not to say there are not very strong Tea Party's and Youth Conservative groups working those areas every day. It is not shown in the media.
There is a notion that the liberals have taken over the State. There are good conservatives working every day to persuade those middle of the road voters to join with us on the issues we agree with (over 50% of our voters fall into that category). Some examples are as follows:
I-Caucus for vetting and endorsing candidates
Tea Party United based in Northern California and working to unite TP groups everywhere.
Black Robe Radio based in San Diego, on Friday nights, working to bring pastors together with the political values churches used to have.
Bay Area Patriots - Based in the San Fran Bay area and one of the most active groups in the country on almost any subject.
San Diego Tea Party Based in San Diego, restructuring to inspire action on almost any subject.
Golden State Alliance for Liberty Uniting groups to succeed in getting fiscal conservatives into office and educate the vast majority of Californians.
These are only examples, and do not count the hundreds of Tea Party's throughout the State. Nor do they include the thousands of us who have sacrificed time from family to assist in campaigns, attend rallies, put in place plans to take back the state, and counter-protest unions and special interest groups. I could go on, but I think the point is made.
We even take time out to go assist in other states, such as Wisconsin. We have groups to deal with voting and election issues. We volunteer time on the border to watch for coyotes and their passengers. All while literally taking our life in our hands. We love our Country and fellow Americans. It is time for all of you to stand with Californians as well!
United we stand, and divided we fall! It is time to unite everyone.
One last thing, as you all think we should give this state to Mexico. We have a lot of military in this state. Here, Washington State, and Virginia are the major Navy bases. Where I am in San Diego, we train Seal Teams and Marines. Without our State, it opens up this country for a larger invasion than you are seeing because our Federal government refuses to do it's Constitutional duty. Please try to remember that before you are so quick to divide us out of the Union.
Those who in power decide which laws they will follow and which ones they will simply ignore. Non enforcement of laws is the same as having having laws.
When I worked in Aerospace, we had poster boards all over the place stating that all employees have an ethical requirement to report Waste, Fraud and Abuse to Management and that the Corporation would not tolerate retaliation against anyone who reports WFA. Those responsible to make sure that there will be no retaliation are the same group (human resources) that protect Managers who retaliate against employees who report WFA. My point here is that those responsible to enforce rules, in this case Human Resource, decides if they will enforce the rules of law, change the rules or ignore them. Its their decision as to what to do.
They (like Eric Holder) decide which sides they protect and which sides they dont. In Aerospace, they protect Managers and profits, against subordinates who report WFA to protect bad Managers and most important to retain high profits. This goes on in government all the time, picking winners and looser, rule of law can be followed or ignored.
Today, those responsible to enforce rules can simply ignore this duty and responsibility. Who is going to force them to enforce rules? Answer, those who dont have the power cant do anything but be retaliated so the best thing to do is to as to are told, shut up, look the other way to avoid retaliation at all cost.
I admire your spirit. Keep on keeping on. I know that California would be a red state if it wasn't for LA & SF. Conservatives MUST get out and vote.
Let moonbeam get into his rocketship to fly into space where he belongs.
How will the parasites live if all the hosts leave? Moonbean smoked to much, has no brain cells left to make decisions. A perfect candidate for Governor of California. Same with Boxer, Sanchez and other progressive morons destroying this state. Stupid is as Stupid votes.

In the years of the monsters reign, after the great war of 50th century. Something had stopped them from becoming masters of the new world. A terrible evil that has been developing down in the hollowed earth. Two power sources have awaken and are now rising to the surfaces to rain blood on the world as its punishment...
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ____________________________
Location: San FranciscoThe city has been divided into two sectors; The Infected and The Pure. No one would ever realize that the infected were actually vampires,lycans and other monsters. The humans were equally as terrified as the monsters were when both found out each side was making a creature of unknown origin. These creatures were known as Test Subject Omega and Test Subject Alpha. Humans were preserving Test Subject Alpha as for the monster preserving Omega. People and monster alike were terrible worried that if these creatures were released into the city; blood will rain from the sky. Omega was oppsite of Alpha given that Omega was the human term for Death and Alpha meant life. So with that humans and monster wanted to stop this from happening.
Time: 12:30 P.M
Date: July 24, 2045
As people began to wonder when the end of days will occur, the monster are getting alittle hungry and are feasting on the humans once more. The humans fought back trying to save their race of the teeth of their monsterous counter-parts. So sparked another civil war in the city of San Francisco, knowing this the makers of the Subjects unleashed them into the city. The civil war stopped and as people/monsters begain to disappear on both sides of the battle. People feared the worst and decided to hide in their houses. Rain clouds covered the city, making it rain endlessly but the city never seems to flood. There is no way of connecting to the outer world, and they are stuck in the city. Will they ever escape the two monsters that have been unleashed into the city or will they die a horrible death?

Henrico's Top Teachers – Linda Korpics
Echo Lake E.S., second grade
It didn't take Linda Korpics long to figure out that she wanted to become a teacher. Just a year or two of being a student. By the time she was in second grade, Korpics realized how much she enjoyed helping other students "and seeing their happiness when they got the skill I was teaching," she says. A fifth grade teacher reinforced her interest in the profession – and today Korpics is a second grade teacher marking her 30th year in the classroom. But even after decades of experience, she says, it's still a thrill to see children light up with the excitement of learning. This year, Korpics has a child who has been shuffled from one school setting after another, with the result that she started the year struggling in all subjects. Her guardian told Korpics that the child was not very trusting and has always been reluctant to participate in class. But after months of one-on-one work, Korpics reports, the student has shown daily progress. "Now her hand is up for every lesson," she says, "even when it isn't her reading group." Korpics recalls that at the beginning of the year she briefly put her arm around the student, but noticed that she tensed up so she resisted doing it again. Then, a month later, the child came running into the room "and gave me the biggest bear hug you can imagine," she says. "I teared up and told her that hug was the best present she could have given me," says Korpics. "I have been teaching for 29 years and it is moments like those that always mean so much to me and show me why I teach." A fellow teacher at Echo Lake who has observed Korpics at work says, "It gave me chill bumps to see Linda get so excited and overcome by emotion when talking about her students and their successes." Korpics' colleague also noted that she works constantly at developing new and innovative ways to teach, such as creating "books" to accompany the science and social studies curriculum and interactive notebooks to reinforce math concepts. A parent wrote that he, too, admires the way Korpics is able to customize her teaching methods according to each child's needs, and that he believes her ability to individualize her teaching methods has been instrumental in his child's school success -- not to mention whetting his child's intellectual curiosity outside the classroom. Korpics' ability to combine cutting-edge techniques and technology with the experience and passion of a long-time educator, said the parent, help create a learning environment that is unmatched in its effectiveness. "In an era of 21st-century learning," wrote the parent, "it is a joy to know that 29 years of experience still counts." Among the former students that Korpics has enjoyed hearing from recently is one that was in her second grade class in 1983. "[She wrote] a letter," says Korpics, "telling me that she is teaching in my old classroom in New York and that she went into teaching because of me." Another former student who is now a senior came to visit Korpics recently and told her that he plans to study physical therapy. Korpics recalled that when she had him in her class, the student struggled in all areas and had behavior issues. "We had many lunches together," she says, "to strengthen skills and to have discussions on behavior and consequences." Her now-grown-up student told Korpics that he had come to thank her. "It is great to know that I have touched the lives of these kids in such a positive way," says Korpics. "[He told me that] I made a difference and that he wants to help others just like I helped him. "How awesome is that!" |

There are poignant love stories, clumsy love stories, sexy encounter stories and lustful and dangerous adventure tales. This book is sexually graphic in places but it is not intended as porn. It is more a Gulliver-like wanderiing through a judgmental and disapproving world filled with secrets and manipulations where everybody shares some guilt, pleasure responsibility.

Mrs. Ashton,
The facts are clear. I do not make a habit of agreeing with President Sarkozy, but this time, I must admit that he is right. The Annan plan is not working. The Annan plan is dead.
Lets state the facts.
More than a hundred breaches of the Annan plan were identified. More than 50 people were killed yesterday as reported by the Local Co-ordination Committees of Syria.
How much time will it take for the international community to recognise that?
To recognise that the Annan plan is dead?
Another ten thousand?
If no people were dying I would say it is pathetic. But now it is tragic.
The time is up.
My request to you is very clear: the European Union through its representatives in the UN Security Council, France, United Kingdom and Germany should act.
Putting military observers on the ground is a waste of time which will result again in the loss of lives. What will the observers do there?
Observe what we already know?
That the plan is not working.
That Bashar al Assad is killing more people.
That Bashar al Assad is ignoring all his promises.
That Bashar al Assad is continuing to commit crimes against humanity.
So we do not need to observe. We need to act.
And act means - safe zones, humanitarian corridors and support for the Syrian opposition.
With the Security Council if we can, without the Security Council if it is necessary.

Stand Up for Religious Freedom Rally, Obamacare, HHS Mandate
Chicago Rally for Religious Freedom Takes a New "Twist"
By Guest Column Brother Joshua Caswell (Bio and Archives) Friday, June 8, 2012 Comments at bottom of page | Print friendly | Subscribe | Email Us |
This Friday, June 8, at noon local time across the country, tens of thousands of Americans, in over 150 cities coast to coast, took to the streets in public protest against the HHS Mandate during the second nationwide Stand Up for Religious Freedom Rally.
This time the flagship rally held at Chicago's Federal Plaza took an interesting twist—suddenly transforming from a formal political rally to a Swing dance festival!
Media pundit and blogger, Jill Stanek danced unannounced on stage to a Jazz Band at the end of her speech. At the same time hundreds of youth converged on an already crowded plaza wearing 1930s style outfits, carrying huge clusters of yellow balloons and shooting yellow confetti into the crowd as cheers erupted.
The exuberant and festive Swing Dance theme was an attempt to "swing public opinion" announced organizers, "in less than a year we won't have this kind of freedom."
The date for the Stand Up Rally was chosen to highlight the HHS Mandate's unconstitutional infringement of religious freedom, coming just weeks before the highly anticipated ruling on Obamacare from the U. S. Supreme Court, expected at the end of June.
"If Obamacare is ruled unconstitutional, we must ensure that religious freedom will be protected in subsequent health care legislation" explained Stand Up Rally national co-director Monica Miller. "But if Obamacare is not struck down, we'll be sending the federal authorities a clear message that the faith based institutions and private businesses affected by the HHS Mandate simply will not comply with it.

Back to TopThe Jura-Capresso Impressa J5 is one of the most stylish super-automatic espresso machines on the market today, with a silver plastic panels, chrome accents, and your choice of black or white side panels. It puts Jura Capresso's innovative espresso technology at your fingertips with 4 programmable beverage buttons, an adjustable conical burr grinder, pre-infusion cycle, coffee strength settings, and more. A stainless steel-lined thermoblock ensures water is always ready for brewing or steaming, and the 18-bar pump will get a great extraction from your espresso every time you brew. Customizing all of the machine's settings is made easy by the red LED display, guiding you through programming step-by-step in the language of your choice. This display will also let you know when you need to refill the bean hopper or water reservoir, run a descaling cycle, or empty the used coffee drawer.
If you love cappuccinos, lattes, and other café-style drinks, the Jura-Capresso Impressa J5 will serve as your own personal coffee shop. You have the choice to manually froth or steam your milk using the patented Dual Frother Plus wand, or you can have the J5 automatically steam or froth for you using the included FrothXpress. Both produce outstanding results in just moments, making the J5 an indispensable machine when entertaining guests who love espresso. You can even customize the coffee spout when brewing 1 or 2 cups by moving the dispensing nozzles closer together or farther apart, depending on your needs. Cleaning up is also a breeze, with a removable dump box, drip tray, and 71oz water reservoir. A Clearyl water filter is also included with the J5 to help prevent scale build-up and to keep your espresso tasting its best.
Back to TopGetting Familiar
To guide you through brewing, programming, and maintenance, the J5 has a red LED display.
The display is located right above the beverage buttons on the front of the machine that control hot water, 1 espresso, 2 espresso, steam, 2 coffees, and 1 coffee dispensing. There is an icon next to each of the buttons, so remembering what each button controls won't require a manual whenever you brew. All of these buttons come with pre-programmed liquid volume, strength, and temperature settings that are outlined in the product manual, but they can easily be reprogrammed to meet your tastes. The only setting that isn't controlled by a button or dial on the front of the machine is the conical burr grinder fineness setting. To change the fineness, simply turn the adjustment knob in the bean hopper while it is running.
A rotary dial and push button on the top of the machine let you navigate all programming and brewing functions on the J5. To enter programming mode, simply press and hold the push button at the center of the rotary dial until the LED display reads "Rinse." Then, turn the rotary dial to scroll through the different features and settings. When the J5 is not in programming mode, you can manually override the beverage button settings on a cup-to-cup basis using the rotary dial and push button.
Getting Ready
When the Jura Capresso Impressa J5 arrives at your home, you'll be brewing after a few simple start-up procedures.
After you take the J5 out of the box, place it on a sturdy counter, plug it in, turn on the main power switch by the power cord, and then press the "On" button located on the top of the machine. Next, follow the instructions for activating the Clearyl water filter and priming your machine as detailed in the instruction manual. This process takes only a few minutes and will prepare the internal pump for brewing. Finally, fill the 71oz water reservoir with fresh, cold water, fill the hopper with your favorite beans and you're ready to brew!
Making Your Drink
With the Jura Capresso Impressa J5, you can easily customize your coffee to meet your specific taste.
With just a push of any of the programmable beverage buttons, the J5 will brew the coffee size, strength, and temperature of your choice and dispense it right into your cup. You have the choice to brew using the presets for each button or to manually override the settings for just one cup. You can also program the beverage buttons to meet your specific tastes, so every time you brew, you get a consistent shot made just the way you like it.
To enter programming mode, press and hold the button at the center of the rotary dial on top of the machine. The word "Rinse" will appear on the LED display, and then turn the dial clockwise so the word "Buttons" appears. Press the center button to select this option and the words "Select Button" will flash on the display. Press the beverage button you would like to program and the LED display will then guide you though programming the strength, liquid volume, and temperature settings. You can choose from 4 coffee strengths (mild, normal, strong, xstrong), 2 coffee temperatures (normal, high), and liquid volume in .5oz increments up to 8oz per cup. When you choose the 2 espresso or 2 coffee buttons, the liquid volume you set will be doubled.
If you have guests over who prefer decaf coffee, or if you would just like to enjoy a late evening latte, the Jura Capresso J5 features a bypass doser. This allows you to brew using pre-ground coffee, so you can make an espresso using beans other than the ones in your hopper.
Topping it Off: Frothing & Steaming
The Jura Capresso Impressa J5 gives you the option to manually or automatically froth milk for cappuccinos, lattes, and more.
The J5 comes with both a Dual Frother Plus and a FrothXpress. The Dual Frother Plus is a 2-position steam wand that lets you manually froth or steam milk for café-style drinks. When the sleeve on the steam wand is up, it will create steamed milk and when the sleeve on the steam wand is down, it will create frothed milk. To start the steaming process, immerse the Dual Frother Plus in a pitcher of cold milk and press the steam button on the control panel once. In a few seconds, the boiler will heat up to steam temperature and the LED display will flash "Ready." Press the steam button once again to start dispensing. The button is set to steam for 20 seconds and automatically shut off, but you can alter this setting to meet your needs.
When you're busy entertaining, or if you prefer the convenience of having steamed or frothed milk dispensed into your waiting cup, the J5 comes with the FrothXpress system. The FrothXpress system features a milk tube and special nozzle that can be attached right to the machine once the Dual Frother Plus is removed. Once the FrothXpress is attached to the J5, place the milk tube into any container of cold, fresh milk and place your cup underneath its dispensing spout. Simply start the steaming process and milk for your cappuccino, latte, or macchiato will be ready in no time.
If you need hot water for an Americano, tea, or hot chocolate, the Jura Capresso Impressa J5 can also dispense hot water from the steam wand. Just place a cup underneath the steam wand and press the hot water button on the control panel. To increase or decrease the amount of water dispensed, you can turn the rotary dial on the top of the machine for a maximum of 15oz of water.
Shut Down
You can manually shut down the Jura Capresso Impressa J5, or program it to shut down after a preset amount of time has elapsed.
When you're done brewing for the day, you can manually shut the J5 down by pressing the on/off button at the top of the machine. However, you can also program the machine to automatically run a rinse cycle and shut down after a certain amount of time has passed since you brewed your last shot, up to 2 hours.
A Word About Care and Maintenance
To keep your machine in top shape, make sure to empty the drip tray at the end of every day.
The LED display will notify you when the spent coffee drawer needs to be emptied, and it can be easily accessed and removed through the front service door of the machine. Make sure to empty the spent coffee drawer while the J5 is on so the machine knows it has been removed and cleaned out. This way, the J5 can reset, and the notification will no longer flash on the display. Make sure to also clean the steam wand with a damp cloth after every use to prevent build-up. You should run a little steam through the wand after every use as well, as this will expel any milk that might be inside the wand and prevent blockage.
To keep the Impressa J5 brewing at its best, there are some periodic cleaning cycles that have to be performed. If you do not install the Clearyl Water Filter, the machine will notify you when a descaling cycle has to be performed, typically every 2-3 months depending on water hardness. If you do install the filter, you will simply be prompted to change the filter. The machine will also notify you when a cleaning cycle needs to be performed using Jura Capresso cleaning tablets, and the LED display and instruction manual will guide you through this process.

Government Operations:
Need for Comprehensive Postal Reform
GAO-04-455R, Feb 6, 2004
Additional Materials:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-6670
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
This letter responds to a request by the Chairman, Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs, for GAO's views on the need for postal reform and is based upon prior testimonies related to this issue. Since the Postal Service's transformation efforts and financial outlook had been placed on GAO's High-Risk List in April 2001, the Comptroller General has testified on several occasions about the governance, financial, operational, and human capital challenges that threaten the Service's ability to carry out its mission. If not effectively addressed in a timely manner, these challenges serve to threaten the Service's ability to remain self-supporting while providing affordable, high-quality, and universal postal services to all Americans.
The following key trends serve to reinforce GAO's view that enactment of postal reform legislation is needed: (1) declining mail volume; (2) changes in the mail mix; (2) increased competition from private delivery companies; (4) subpar revenue growth; (5) declining capital investment; (6) renewed difficulties in substantially improving postal productivity; (7) significant financial liabilities and obligations; (8) uncertain funding for emergency preparedness; and (9) challenges to achieve sufficient cost cutting. GAO does not believe that incremental steps toward postal transformation can resolve the fundamental and systemic issues associated with the Service's current business model. To avoid the risk of a significant taxpayer bailout or dramatic postal rate increases, Congress should enact comprehensive postal reform legislation that includes the Service's overall statutory framework, resolution of issues regarding the Service's pension and retiree health benefits obligations, and whether there is a continued need for an escrow account. The key areas of the Service's statutory framework that need to be addressed include: (1) clarifying the Service's mission and role; (2) enhancing governance, transparency, and accountability; (3) improving flexibilities and oversight; and (4) making needed human capital reforms.

dnmun wrote:but the controller is not able to cope with doubling of voltage like that.
fechter wrote:It's certainly possible to make a controller that will work over that kind of voltage range.
The limitation is usually in the voltage regulator part of the controller. Fixed resistors to drop the voltage won't have a very wide input range. A linear pre-regulator would be much better. Most chinese controllers could be modified to work from about 15v to the maximum rating of the FETs/caps (60 - 100V).
Below is a circuit I've used on several projects. This would take the place of the power resistors feeding the 7812 regulator in the controller. Q1 is almost any FET with enough voltage and current rating. I used a FQP6N40C in the Zephyr circuit. These can handle up to 400V.
Depending on your maximum voltage, the FET may get pretty hot and need a heat sink.
The same circuit can be used with a Darlington NPN transistor, but R1 will need to be lower, like 15K and will tend to run hotter.
alsmith wrote:Would this circuit work? I'm trying to keep it simple but when the batteries are connected in the two parallel diodes fitted for series are still connected.
fechter wrote:You would only need the diodes if the batteries have an integrated BMS with active cutoff. Even then, you would only need the diodes across the batteries.

Movie Review | Addiction Incorporated: Likable crusader sends up smoke signals

One might assume that Victor DeNoble, the tobacco-industry whistle-blower at the center of the documentary Addiction Incorporated, is the guy who inspired the 1999 film The Insider.
The storylines are almost identical: A cigarette company insider discovers that the product his employer makes is dangerously addictive, and his attempts to let the world know are met with cover-ups and corporate pressure on the media to suppress the story.
But they're not the same person. The Insider was the story of Jeffrey Wigand of Brown & Williamson. DeNoble worked for Philip Morris.
What's more, DeNoble is nothing like Russell Crowe's tortured character in the 1999 film. He's likable, funny and a natural storyteller. He acts, in essence, as a tour guide through a tale that's tangled by scientific data, jargon and legal maneuvering.
DeNoble, an experimental psychologist tasked in the early 1980s with finding out whether cigarettes could be made safer without losing smokability, comes across like the college lecturer whose class everyone wants to take, larding his recitation of facts and figures with black humor: " Dead people don't buy cigarettes," he notes in a succinct assessment of Philip Morris executives' thinking in regard to the dilemma posed by a product that hooks — and then kills — its customers.
That said, there's a bit of a been-there-done-that air to Addiction Incorporated. That's partly due to the high profile of The Insider, but it's also, ironically, thanks in large part to DeNoble's own efforts to educate people.
Since leaving Philip Morris — from which he was fired in 1984 — DeNoble has fashioned a second career, giving talks to 300,000 schoolchildren a year about the dangers of smoking.
The irony, the film suggests, is that his crusade is paid for with money that the tobacco companies had to cough up in a settlement.
