Who should claim Mountain Dew?
An age-old debate for you to decide
It is a true story of American ingenuity and one that surrounds one of the most popular drinks around the world today and that's Mountain Dew.
But, did you know that yellow, citrus flavor soda's history is seeded right here in our region? In fact, there's a decades old debate about which municipality is actually the birthplace of Mountain Dew.
There are so many players, three major places and appropriate claims all around that it is really up to oneself to decide where the soda originated from.
It seems as though the true claim of "Mountain Dew Creator" depends on whether you credit the idea, the formula or the soda we drink today.
The Appalachian Archives at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City had some of the oldest history on Mountain Dew. Records there showed the first ever drink of that name was created in Knoxville by the Hartman Brothers. They had opened a business there and since soda in the 1930's was only a regional thing, they couldn't get the soda they preferred to mix with their liquor. So, they came up with Mountain Dew.
A chance meeting with the man known for Dr. Enuf, Charles Gordon, would change all of that. His son, Chuck Gordon and current owner of Tri-Cities Beverage, said his father met the Hartmans on a train ride to beverage shows and he sipped their Mountain Dew. He wanted to Bottle it.
According to archives, the flavor at that time was more like 7Up. Bill Jones, of Marion, Virginia created that flavor for the Hartmans in the mid 1930's. Jones was also pals will Tri-Cities Beverage owner, Charles Gordon and his manager Bill Bridgforth.
And, according to Tri-Cities Beverage's history, the company was the first to put the flavor and carbonation together in a bottle for commercial sales. Chuck Gordon told us there is a lot of family pride in Mountain Dew and as far as he was concerned, it all started at Tri-Cities beverage. He also told me it was in the late 1950's that Mountain Dew turned into the drink we know today.
According to Appalachian Archives in Johnson City it started with a move to better market a soda they already had. Apparently Charlie Gordon and Bill Bridgforth decided to bottle a popular soda, Tri-Cities lemonade, in a Mountain Dew bottle.
The lemonade soda was also a flavor created by Bill Jones at what use to be the TIP Corporation in Marion, Virginia.
Marion prides itself on being the birthplace of Mountain Dew. So, we searched the town records and did in fact find that all of the rights to Mountain Dew were sold by Bill Jones to the Pepsi Company.
Marion spokesman Ken Heath said he would gladly credit Knoxville and Johnson City and the people in those cities for their role in Mountain Dew's history as long as they admitted the check went to Bill Jones in Marion, Virginia and that's where the soft drink we drink today came from.
Chuck Gordon confirmed that all rights and franchises to Mountain Dew were sold to Bill Jones in the late 1950's.
PepsiCo will not credit one locality for the soda that's become one of their biggest success stories. They are rolling out a new product called Johnson City Gold in honor of Mountain Dew's history. A deal was struck with Food City stores and PepsiCo to carry Johnson City Gold in their Johnson City stores on Monday, August 13th. The new beverage will be available for a limited time beginning August 26th.
There is also a competition underway where you can get a Mountain Dew flavor named after you. For more information on that visit https://secure.yourmaltdew.com/MasterPage.aspx

Some new information now on the looming fiscal cliff negotiations.
Strong words from Republican leadership after President Obama is opening bid.
The president wants one point six trillion dollars in new taxes fifty billion dollars in new stimulus spending.
And expanded powers for the president to raise the federal debt limit without.
Getting any approval from congress.
A senior house GOP source calls the president's plan quote absurd.
And provides a six point explanation to back it up so is the economy headed for that fiscal cliff is all of this negotiating.
Dead in the water let's bring in our panel Monica Crowley a radio talk show host in the author of Monica memo dot com.
-- were against -- -- former political advisor to senator Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey both are Fox News contributors.
You say that this president is not interest that interested in compromise.
At all -- I just wrote a whole book about this called what the -- happen right traced the first four years of his presidency and every single time John.
He -- proposed any kind of economic proposal -- fiscal proposal.
It is contained the exact same to the same elements which is.
Tax hikes more spending not less no entitlement reform and pushing up the debt limit as far and as fast as possible that this should come as no big surprise here it's not a big mystery who this guy is using pure -- -- Allowed -- will not compromise is Julie he ran on a catch up platform saying let's raised that.
Top two tax rates for the top earners in this country if he did that.
That would raise about 850 billion dollars in in revenues.
He keeps asking for a million 4000000000006.
He's asking for twice what he campaigned to.
Well first and foremost I think Republicans have to understand that have an election and the people to speak and that -- -- this was in the secret that he ran on but.
Allegedly did the people's say yeah god would give you double what is that you that you want 60% said they want taxes -- On those 2% that's -- -- -- -- -- I think a lot of this is completely -- in the part of the Republicans and the Democrats the president knows he's not gonna get.
This very aggressive position that he's -- authorities not gonna get that ultimately what he's doing smartly finally thank you Mr.
That for four years he's learned how to use the bully pulpit and he's now saying look.
These the start of the Republicans by compromising and saying let me survey giving you half below open and we moved to the you know government one point seven trillion dollars.
Excuse me beforehand.
During the fiscal budget talks of 2011.
And actually lower deficit of one point seven trillion dollars over ten years he's already compromise on that's what he's essentially saying now is.
Let's start my position Republicans you proposed that you want to propose and then we'll talk about it well.
Republican I don't know anything yet it -- excuse me Paul -- of the Republicans the past two years worth of budgets to deal with these series not the discipline the Republicans have plenty of plants on the table.
In terms of tax reform and entitlement reform and spending reform all of which we need to do.
This conversation assumes that the president doesn't want to go over the fiscal -- I just -- I think he does.
I think he wants all the tax rates to go up you can argue the politics of this but he needs the revenue to come and he's arguing for more spending not less he wants the one point two trillion dollars in defense cuts because he wants to cut the military.
And he wants an unlimited credit card.
In terms of being allowed unilaterally to to raise that debt limit.
He wants all of these things.
And he knows he's not gonna get blamed for.
The Republicans will -- plains where no matter what happens the GOP will get blamed for a because the media is protective of the president so he has nothing to lose John he's willing to go over the cliff and that's what.
I think what he's saying is if you want to take us over the cliff he will then vote with the Democrats and dare the Republicans to novel for this.
To lower taxes again for the 90% of Americans that would be affected by these top two marginal tax rates but I think he understands the politician at long last having just gotten realistic.
But I had to negotiate -- Washington he finally understands.
-- which you need to do is come and say this is my position Republicans to give us your position and we'll negotiate -- opposed to coming.
To the table saying John Boehner and he didn't think he's got what you want that that would work for the normal presidency except there's nothing in Obama's history or pastor pattern of behavior to suggest any compromise or can I'm sorry we had a grand bargain agreement -- Paul Ryan Eric Cantor torpedoed it last time so I think this.
President to show -- -- already lowered again.
There are a lot of Arnold was the one who pulled the rug out from an hour and a half and -- when he doubled the amount of revenue and tax -- and during the budget control act of 2011 the president did work with congress that lower to lower by one point seven still look at seven trillion dollars -- -- -- -- -- this president couldn't even get his own budget through the senate which -- zero votes zero Democrat votes -- what is the last time -- had any president submit a budget.
That was verbatim adopted by any house of congress never never happened in the history of this and I just I -- from his own as you'll ever got -- I have never seen a prelude to any kind of budget numbers -- -- past you said they didn't feel like fighting today oh yeah there thank you very good.
-- Monica will have you back again pleasure thank you Jenna.

Canada, Holland: WhatsApp violates privacy norms
Posted at: 01/29/2013 8:54 AM
By: Associated Press | WHEC.com
Regulators in the Netherlands and Canada say that popular messaging application WhatsApp is violating internationally accepted privacy norms by stockpiling phone numbers belonging to people who don't even use the service.
Officials in both countries say that WhatsApp Inc. is going through its users' address books and copying every single phone number before transmitting them to the Mountain View, California-based company's servers.
Many communications services ask for access to their customer's address books to help connect them with friends. But under Canadian and Dutch law, personal information belonging to nonusers must be destroyed once it's no longer being used.
Canada's Office of the Privacy Commissioner and the Dutch Data Protection Authority also criticized WhatsApp for weak security and sloppy encryption.
Emails and Twitter messages sent to WhatsApp weren't immediately returned.

I was doing some refastening today, and the question came: with all the space age materials being used now, why not screws and other fasteners that dont rust, corrode or be subject to electralisis??? Ceramics, supper glass, super fibers, etc??? They make engine parts out of ceramics, disc brakes on race cars, they have glass parts in high tech applications, why not screws??? here is a great idea for a grad student in a physics/chemistry lab working with these materials. This must be a moneymaker for someone. And for sure, I will but them at twice the price I pay now, not to have to refasten my old wood boat ever again~!

Incipio Feather case for Nexus 4 review
The Nexus 4 features a unique back design that you either love or hate. If you think it's too flashy, you'll most likely be looking for something a little more subtle to cover it up. The Incipio Feather, with its slim design and inconspicuous matte coating seems to fit the bill pretty well but does it provide any extra protection? Head on over to The Hype Review to find out!

Resident Evil: Revelations
The fear that was originally brought to players in Resident Evil Revelations on the Nintendo 3DS system returns redefined for home consoles complete with high quality HD visuals, enhanced lighting effects and an immersive sound experience. Furthermore, the home console version will deliver additional content including a terrifying new enemy, extra difficulty mode and improvements to Raid Mode such as new weapons, skill sets and the opportunity to play as Hunk and other characters from the series. Raid Mode, which was first introduced to the series in the original version of Resident Evil Revelations, sees gamers play online in co-op mode or alone in single player taking on the hordes of enemies across a variety of missions whilst leveling up characters and earning weapon upgrades. The critically acclaimed survival horror title takes players back to the events that took place between Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5, revealing the truth about the T-Abyss virus. Resident Evil Revelations features series favorites Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield, plus their respective BSAA partners - Parker Luciani and Jessica Sherawat. The action begins on board a supposedly abandoned cruise ship, the 'Queen Zenobia', where horrors lurk around every corner before players head for the mainland and the devastated city of Terragrigia. With limited ammo and weapons available, the race is on to survive the horror of Resident Evil Revelations.

what this hypersli do? i use only SLIPatch 1.5 and driver mod and sli works fine amd platform .. setup is 3.8Ghz phenom 965 ht2600 Nb 2600 Crosshair IV formula 890fx crossfire Nvidia 580x2 slipatch Zotac and pny 8bg kingston hyperx 2000mhz c9| drivers are GeForce 285.38 Driver BETA can i get work faster on this hypersli mod ?
hey hota i have the same processor that you do what temps are you getting at that clockspeed? same motherboard to
100% stress about 60c\140F if the room temperature are 27c\80F This two 580gtx warm hole case so the themps are so high xD what this hypersli do .. I don't understand :S:S
i use corsair tx950w this power be enough two 580gtx This power are single line total amps 78A good whit two high end cars if you want more cards you need bigger power Total amps what you can get out this power are 85amps.. very hard load ...
Don't remember what BSOD, just saw it once. Now its only freezing the computer, have to force it to shutdown
Bsod... Hey guys. I had already posted about 3D-Vision not working in SLI-mode and giving me a black screen/ monitor signal. I now found out that it is actually a bluescreen happening in the background which I can not see. I only found out about it because this time around after a hard reset, Windows gave me a report about it, that a .dmp files was created. SLI and 3D-Vision work well when applied individually but not together, the games crash at startup, accept for Crysis 2, which doesnt give me a BSOD and runs flawlessly in SLI+3D-Vision mode. Maybe it is related to HyperSLI afterall. Because both my gfx cards work without error and in SLI and trying different and older drivers didnt solve the problem as well. I even underclocked my gfx cards and ran my cpu @ stock speeds without success. Hope anybody might have an answer to this. Here is a picture in BlueScreenViewer In the attachement you can find the dmp file Thanky in advance
if you try SLIPatch 1.5 + latest modded drivers, you'll get the same. you sure you have BSOD always when you try to start 3d vision?
when you get it? or it's randomly? did you have BSODs with SLIPatch 1.5 + modded drivers? before this BSOD what BSOD code you got?
My system was IDLE at the time, I came down to it and the BS was on my 2nd monitor and the system was froze. I have had other BSOD's but that is the first with that file and the 2nd that happend during idle.
I've been doing research, and the dxmss1.sys error is dx and video driver related. It's also a common issue under win7 with both nvidia and ati cards. Make sure to use a completely clean install of drivers. I'm still wondering about leftovers from the mod/driver combo, that should maybe fully removed first in safe mode. I tested hypersli on a clean install of win7 x64 and x32, and never had an issue. If you haven't already, try dual booting with a completely clean install of windows, and try it.

I was wondering, what is the difference between LaTeX
, LaTeX2e
and LaTeX3
. Are the 2 higher versions available for use? I use LaTeX. How can I use the other 2 on Windows 7?
LaTeX2e is the latest stable release of LaTeX. When people say LaTeX they usually mean LaTeX2e, not an earlier version. LaTeX3 is a massive refactoring of the LaTeX2e code base, which is currently in development. Some of the developers are frequent contributors here and will probably chime in. The difference to end users between LaTeX2e and LaTeX3 will be many more functionalities included "out of the box" rather than requiring packages. The programmer's interface to LaTeX3 for class and package writers will include lots of enhancements like built-in data structures and methods to control expansion without so many | |||
LaTeX2e has been the current version for many years. Every current TeX distribution supports it. LaTeX, I guess you mean LaTeX 2.09, is outdated. LaTeX3 is a version in development, have a look at | ||||
LaTeX is a synonym for LaTeX2e, which itself is the successor of LaTeX 2.09. LaTeX3 has been in development for more than 10 years and shall be the successor of LaTeX2e. The main basic packages for LaTeX3 can be used but are still in an experimental state. I suppose that a lot of LaTeX (which is LaTeX2e) users will be retired if LaTeX3 should ever be released ... ;-) All TeX distributions support LATeX2e. | |||||||||||||

From Jet Lag to Insight Switching roles can be an educational exercise, and in this case, also a very fun experience. I just returned from a two week trip to Europe, seeing three cities that I had not visited before, each with its own personality, highlights and quirks. It was great fun, exploring the unknown, seeing sights that I had dreamed about for a lifetime. And above all, being a guest and realizing the importance of comfortable lodging when you are away from the familiarity and comforts of your own home. The significance of a smile and a friendly, welcoming face cannot be underestimated, regardless of what language is being spoken. It is critical in the hospitality industry and beyond, not just because it is good for business, but because it is good for humanity. What a valuable reminder that my guests are just like me, away from home, grateful for the warmth of a caring host. Speaking of being grateful, especially with Thanksgiving on the horizon and Irene in our rearview mirror, we have to give thanks for the spectacular recovery efforts and preparations for the ski season that have been underway. Killington Resort has been working feverishly to repair the damaged section of the base lodge and is installing the innovative Umbrella Bar, putting a positive, fun spin on the damage inflicted by Irene. Snowmaking has been pretty consistent in spite of fluctuating temperatures, prompting Manfred to make his first turns of the season today, pronouncing the skiing quite good. I think all of us in our resort town are grateful that Killington Resort once again recognizes the value in being the first ski resort to open, and we all understand the value of that welcoming smile. Come on up-we are ready for your arrival!

Nov 21, 2013
Oct 7, 2013Looking Rooney Mara in this film I think that Mara is perverse nymph. Rooney conveys fragility and innocence. But, behind this supposed fragility there are dark sides, maliciousness and revenge. Soderbergh has done one of the best films in 2000's. "Side Effects" seems a Agatha Christie or Patricia Highsmith book.
Sep 9, 2013This was better than i expected. An engaging story, with many twists and turns. Great performances, especially from Rooney Mara. This is another stellar movie from director Steven Soderbergh.
Aug 17, 2013
Aug 11, 2013Side Effects is a well crafted murder mystery with an a ton of A-list talent involved, but in the end the twists and turns of the plot and the whole sleight of hand quality completely overshadow the characters resulting in a remarkably hollow viewing experience.
Aug 3, 2013Steven Soderbergh's Side Effects is a compulsively entertaining thriller. Rooney Mara and Jude Law give petrifyingly good performances. Thomas Newman's score is rapturous. It's a must-see.
Jul 29, 2013This Soderbergh thriller fails to deliver the goods: it's slow, colorless and drowsy, very much like the medication they keep talking about in the film makes you feel. Jude Law certainly isn't bad (lesser actors would have made the movie even more boring) but even he can't save this one. Admittedly there are much worse thrillers out there but you can happily skip this one.
Jul 14, 2013The movie starts as a conspiracy theorists wet dream about big pharma but goes later down another path. Unfortunately, the story is illogical and the plot tries bit too hard to be clever. Actors do a fine job, aside Catherine Zeta-Jones character is not a good fit for her.
Jun 21, 2013So boring and predictable. After the first 20 minutes it was easy enough to catch the rest of the film. Obvious twist and dumb one at that. A real waste of time to say the least.
Jun 18, 2013
Jun 10, 2013Extraordinary. Great actors. Great plot. Great director.Great twists.Great in general.Don't miss it you will lose a masterpiece. probably one of the sexiest films of the year A must-watch
Jun 8, 2013
Jun 4, 2013A good movie, the acting is really good, it's not predictable as I expected to be, but I didn't quite love the ending,a little to much for my liking. Everything else is very enjoyable.
Jun 4, 2013"Side Effects is a truly engrossing, edgy, seductive film and proves just how good Steven Soderbergh really is. Exciting and filled with unpredictable twist and featuring outstanding performances, Side Effects is the first great film of the 2013 year." A-
Jun 2, 2013A story with many twists and turns that hooked me from the start. I really thought that Jude Law gave one of his best performances in years and along with Rooney Mara this film is well put together.
May 31, 2013For a psychological thriller with a murder and a lesbian twist, it really is boring, but unsurprisingly stupid. A far-fetched script that is so inconceivable with so many plot twists just for the sake of keeping it interesting. After some decent performances and a list of every anti-depressant in the world mentioned, the movie is disappointing, even though I had no expectations going into it.
May 20, 2013
May 17, 2013Had low expectations, was pleasantly surprised! This movie is a slow burning thriller (more of a mind game), with same good performances (especially from Jude Law and Rooney Mara). There are no black or white characters here, just shades of grey leaning towards the darker tones. Also with some social criticism. Might be somewhat predictable, but the performances make it worth watch!…
May 13, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
May 13, 2013For an early season movie, Side Effects is exceptional. It's high intelligence and engrossing matter lets the audience join a thrilling experience, that once it's over you begin to see how crafty the film really is.
May 11, 2013What a great way to go out with the best movie of 2013 I've seen so far. I loved the slowly unraveling serpentine plot that had us thinking it was an expose on Big Pharma and then it twisted in a totally different direction. Great acting too. A modern thriller classic.
May 8, 2013
Apr 29, 2013
Apr 23, 2013
Apr 19, 2013
Apr 8, 2013An incredibly surprising film that is written extremely well and is meant for film lovers only. Some may think its boring and overlong but they just don't appreciate well written and complicated films such as this one. Its a great film and another great entry from Steven Soderbergh.
Apr 8, 2013
Apr 2, 2013
Mar 31, 2013Character development was completely neglected in light of an actually great narrative. Good choice of actors to portray all elements of the story, but ultimately weak in creating anything substantial.
Mar 31, 2013Undeniably well shot and, to an extent, acted. However, 'Side Effects' labours under the misapprehension that it is far more intelligent than it actually is and jams the story together like ill-fitting puzzle pieces.
Mar 4, 2013We may lose Soderbergh to painting, theatre and HBO-fuelled TV, and that's a crying shame. If that's the case, Side Effects is a great note on which to go out.
He's taken what, on paper, boils down to an extra ridiculous episode of "Law and Order: Criminal Intent" and passes it off as high cinematic art.
Side Effects virtually demands a three-word review: Just see it.

Customers who bought this item also got:
Scene 1
Roland Dane and Derek Cameron lose a frisbee in a neighbor's pool. As Roland contemplates the floating disk, Derek pushes him into the pool. Determined to teach Derek a lesson, Roland corners him on a picnic table. Derek dutifully devotes some oral service to Roland's stiff prick. Then Roland returns the favor—sucking Derek and opening his asshole. As Derek opens up, Roland takes an opportunity to slide in his own thick cock—fucking Derek energetically before the two men surrender to the heat and blow their loads.
Scene 2
Charlie Moore rubs lotion over Robert Collins as his mind wanders to more urgent matters—specifically Joe Foster's stiff cock. Charlie runs his tongue over the mouthwatering profile within Joe's red suit. Charlie swallows Joe's cock as Robert enjoys the view. Charlie sucks Robert's tool and Robert takes a taste of Joe's cock. Soon Joe is fingering, rimming, then fucking Charlie's tight hole. Robert takes his turn—slamming Charlie eagerly. The men work themselves into a frenzy, exploding in hot thick ropes of satisfaction.
Scene 3
Charlie Moore warns Matthew Rush, Jason Hawke, Tommy Brandt, and Josh Harting that they're not to fuck around while he's on an errand. No sooner is he gone than the four studs strip their jeans and enjoy a poolside frolic. They turn to erotic play--licking, sucking, stroking and probing, making their way over each other, enjoying the heat, the flesh, stiff cocks, and puckered assholes. No cock remains unburied for long…each finding its way into an eager mouth or quivering asshole…until finally the lusty participants spill pools of gratification.
Scene 4
Charlie invites Josh Weston over. Justin Dragon, Daniel Montes, and Brad Benton join Josh and Charlie poolside—waiting for the manly games to begin. Soon each of the studs is deeply engaged in satisfying the others. Cock-sucking, ass-teasing, rimming, and frottage make the summer day even hotter. As the first cocks penetrate hungry assholes, Jim Bentley arrives—Charlie's caretaking stint is over—but Jim wants to enjoy the arousing scene. He throws himself into the action—rimming, sucking, and stroking his way into the group of muscled studs. The men take turns fucking each other, edging closer to their collective climax, which they release over Brad Benton's chest.When their loads are spent and Brad is soaked in semen, the men enjoy a cooling dip in the shimmering waters.

Synopsis: Two of America's most distinguished humorists, Oklahoma's Will Rogers and Kentucky's Irvin S. Cobb, costar in Steamboat Round the Bend. Cobb isn't much of an actor, so it is Rogers who carries the comic weight of this fast-paced slice of Americana. Will uncharacteristically sticks to the script for most of the proceedings as the proprietor of a com... Continue Reading

I waited to write this due to one individuals comment about his pump not working the second year. Every time I used it I let the water drain from the housing, which is a good thing according to his comment. Used it again for my second year yesterday and it fired up on the second pull of the cord. I use this pump to irrigate my front yard and it moves the water fast. I shopped around at the box stores and a few independants, but everything was about twice the amount and more of this pump. I use a 2" hose, but the parts I picked up at a sprinkler store instead of a box store because they carry specialized fittings. I only use it about an hour a week 5 months out of the year, and I hope it lasts me plenty years to come. If I didn't use this my water bill a month would almost pay for this thing so I can't go wrong.

We bought this for my mom last summer. Her basement is prone to flooding when the power fails and there is heavy rain. We tested it out down at the pond and it worked great. Pumps strong with high capacity.Then we drained the pump head and put it in the basement (on a shelf!) for when needed. Hurricane Sandy came and power failed and when she tried to use the pump it was locked solid. (she'd 2 hrs away)Would not turn over with the pull cord. Basement flooded. I could not get there for a few days and by that time power came back on and her two 1hp sump pumps got the water out. I finally opened the pump housing today and found the impeller had rusted solid to the pump shroud. Turns out the impeller and shroud are cast iron, and the pump housing is aluminum. Lots of galvanic corrosion too. I cleaned it all up and it is working correctly again. YOU MUST DRAIN THE PUMP AND DRY IT OUT BEFORE STORAGE or it might leave you stranded when you need it most.

Just as good as expensive name brands.
By steve o

About Me Budget Shopper
Comments about Pacific Hydrostar 2 in. Clear Water Pump with 212cc Gas Engine:
An outstanding deal for a pump that performs as good as expensive brands. I have used it for emptying swimming pools and a large pond. It worked right out of the box with no problems. The on/off switch had a ground wire vibrate loose but was a easy fix. This is a pump I would buy again. When you stow it away for a long period use fogging oil in the impeller housing to prevent corrosion after it is well drained. I also cap both ends of the pump housing after oil fogging it.

Beast of a pump !!!
By RK in Pa.

About Me Midrange Shopper
This pump is great ! Use it drain my in ground pool, about 20,000 gal. in 2 hrs. Its light weight & easily portable. Best bang for the buck in pumps.
Excellent Pump so Far
By Oli the Gardener
from Skamokawa washington
I just bought this pump so that I no longer needed to carry buckets to water a distant garden plot. I fitted my pump with 8 ft. of 2inch PVC pipe for my water intake, and connected 100ft of discarded 2inch fire hose for my outlet run. I followed the starting instructions precisely, and to my amazement the pump started instantly on the first pull. I have only used the pump five times so far, but every start has been a cinch and the machine has operated flawlessly. My only critisicm is that this pump does its job too well, and tends to flood my garden beds before I can run back to the pump to shut it off. I will be heeding the critical comment posted by another user concerning his/her problem with corrosion seizure of the impeller (after 1 year) if the unit is not drained before storage, but so far I am delighted with this purchase.
This little number is a beast
By Sandman
from Inland Empire, CA
About Me High-end Shopper
This little number is a beast in sheep's clothing. Light weight and simple to operate, over and over again. Read the instructions. Be sure to add oil so you don't ruin motor. Bought this to drain a pool, multiple pools. If you want move a lot of water in 2-3 hours this is your pump. It recommends 2" barbs with hose clamps. I DID NOT follow this procedure and used 1-1/2" barbs on inlet and return ports. Connected it to a 1-1/2 pool hose and off I went. THIS IS WRONG THING TO DO. I found this moved the least amount of water and drain times where 4 hours on 18K pools. To really get the most out of this little sweetheart USE 2" quick-connect collars, 2" clear flex suction side hose (ebay, hoseman) and 2" lay flat blue hose (drain side). This setup was like magic. Talk about reaching your full potential. It was like using a fire hose. It doubled water movement. Drain time on a 20K pool is like 2 hours, 2 HOURS! Are you kidding me. No, I am not. Do yourself a favor, Save money, hook it up right and you will realize this is one of the best purchases you've ever made. WAY TO GO HARBOR FREIGHT!
Excellent Pump
By Jim
from Long Island, N.Y.
Bought this pump to drain my pool for the start of the season. This pump was exactly what I needed to pump out 20k gallons of water in a very short amount of time and made this job a breeze. This pump is an animal!!! If you need to move some serious amount of water then this is the pump you are looking for. If the pump didn't start tomorrow it would still be worth it.
Awesome pump

See all my reviews
Bought this pump last year to irrigate 1/2 acre. Some reviews are correct, HF doesnt carry the fitting and hoses but you can get them at most big box home improvement stores. I have used this pump for 2 years and usually run it 6-8 hours a day each weekend in the summer. It has never failed, shut off(unless it ran out of gas) or had any issues. Very powerful, easy to use, starts on first pull every time. 9,000 gal an hour you cant get any better for the price.

This pump is my insurance policy
By BCinFL
from St. Augustine, FL
I bought this pump about 4 years (the older central machinery version, They look the same in the picture just different paint job) and this little pump has bailed me out (literally) a handful of times when my yard flooded up to the house from heavy rains. I keep it on stand-by year round and do basic preventative maintenance on it. So far it has fired up every time I have needed.The only thing that threw me what when I first got it I could not get it to start. I checked everything and found that there are 2 locations to fill the crankcase with oil (not one like I assumed) once I filled the second half of the crankcase with oil it fired right up. So I guess the low oil sensor works like a champ.
By Marv
from Hobbs, NM
Actually, I didn't buy this pump. I bought the model next to it, but they no longer sell it. It had the plastic housing. We used it for months to circulate oil from one tank to another. We probably pumped 10,000 barrels with it. The employee forgot and left water in it one cold night and it froze and damaged the housing seal. Needs a little repair, but not the pump's fault. These are WELL worth the money.
This pump gets with the program!
By Doug
from rural Oklahoma
I used this pump to get rid of an over abundance of water in my septic lagoon after getting 3" of rain overnight. My ground does NOT perk well, and it's been too cold for the lagoon to evaporate to any degree. This much rain causes all the plumbing to back up, not a good thing. Well, one bucket of water to prime the pump, and 2 hours of pumping, and all is well again.The only down side I can see is the air intake system for the engine is made of fairly light duty plastic, and is fairly easily broken. The first pump I brought home had been damaged in transit and had to be returned. All that plastic was in a heap in the bottom of the box. So, fair warning, open the box in the store! This cost me a 70 mile round trip. NOT the pumps fault...my fault for not looking at something that has made an 8000 mile journey to get to my hands.As to the people that down graded this pump because they don't know anything about pumps, even to something as basic as draining it after use, or not reading the box to see what comes in it...get a life. This pumps moves all the water you could ever want, and does so quickly and efficiently.

text: Home Culture Producer on Bittersweet Journey of 'Sparkle' Whitney's longtime friend Debra Martin Chase says the remake is a perfect cap to the singer's legacy. By: Brett Johnson Posted: Aug. 18 2012 12:45 AM 0 Debra Martin Chase and Whitney Houston (Randee St. Nicholas) (The Root) -- Veteran Hollywood producer Debra Martin Chase played a huge part in getting the 2012 version of Sparkle into theaters this week. But she's quick to give credit to her homegirl and producing partner Whitney Houston for coming up with the idea for a remake in the first place. "She called me up one day: 'Girl, what do you think about remaking Sparkle? And I said, 'You know, it's one of my favorite movies -- that's a great idea,' " said Chase, recalling a decade-old phone conversation. After that initial call, however, the project stalled for various reasons -- the most notable one being the untimely death of Aaliyah. The R&B ingenue was tapped to play the title character before her death in a plane crash in the Bahamas in 2001. It wasn't until three years ago that Sony execs finally agreed that a Houston-led update of the 1976 film could work. Now, in its opening weekend, the film emerges as a reminder of the comeback that could have been if Houston were still alive. In addition, it's an uplifting vehicle for this generation's rising stars, such as Jordin Sparks, Carmen Ejogo and Derek Luke. The Root recently caught up with Chase, who called from Los Angeles and chatted with us about her late friend and how she hopes the new Sparkle will resonate with today's audiences. The Root: As a huge fan of Whitney Houston, I found it hard to watch the movie. I can only imagine how tough it is for you to see her on the screen. How do you feel about the movie now? Debra Martin Chase: This has obviously been a really unbelievable journey. Never in a million years did I believe things would be the way they are right now. She didn't see the movie. I saw the movie for the first time a few days before she passed. For a long time [after that], it was ... can I get through the movie without collapsing? But, you know, I've turned the corner, and I've realized that this movie is a celebration of her. This movie started with the two of us 12 years ago with a vision and a dream to make it come true. Her performance is the best of her career. We talked about that while we were making the movie, and she felt and knew that. This will be the final piece of her legacy. People will see her beautiful and passionate and happy. She is an incredible woman, she's had an incredible career ... some of the glory has been forgotten over the past couple of years. This is a chance for the world to remember who she was. TR: What kind of film makes a good remake candidate? DMC: A couple things: One, you're looking for a timeless, universal story. Then you're looking for a movie that's utterly beloved. Sparkle was huge -- is huge -- in the African-American community. Some of the directors and executives at the studio never understood the value of the title. When you're approaching a remake -- I've done several: Preacher's Wife, Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella -- you're looking to preserve the elements that are beloved and preserve the essence of the movie, but you also want to tailor it for modern sensibilities. In this case, we all wanted to empower the women more than they had been in the original because that's where we are as women today. Page 1 of 2 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

Space shuttle Endeavour wows Venice Beach spectators
Somewhere over the rainbow in the distant future, Aaron Hanna will take his son or daughter to the California Science Center, where NASA's retired space shuttle Endeavour will remain on display for more than two centuries.
He'll point up to the imperialistic orbiter and tell his offspring a true story about the picture-perfect day his doting mother and innovative father took him to the Venice Beach pier to bid farewell to the beloved spacecraft that completed a total of 25 honorable missions before it was placed to final rest.
Aaron will describe how his dad, with lively interest and controlling possession of the mind, captured by memory and high-tech photography, a thumb-printed leaf of American history that took place on Autumn's eve.
He may talk about how the majesty of the distant Santa Monica Mountains and azure sky created an ideal backdrop for the highly-anticipated arrival of Endeavour, as it rode piggyback atop a modified 747 that sliced like a butter knife through a thin curtain of wispy clouds and dissipating fog hovering over the Pacific Ocean's serenity.
But that time remains a long way off because Aaron, the son of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) lead test engineer Andrew Hanna, is only 16 months old.

Wage and Hour Division (WHD)
Press Releases
U.S. Department of Labor |
NEW ORLEANS -- The U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division recently launched an enforcement initiative focusing on the child care industry in Louisiana, where it has found consistent and widespread noncompliance with the minimum wage, overtime pay and record keeping provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Under the initiative, the division has conducted 73 investigations, recovering $146,105 in back wages for nearly 680 employees.
FLSA violations were found at facilities in the parishes of Caddo, Bossier, Lincoln and Ouachita. Major violators include the following businesses: Dusk to Dawn Quality Childcare, Kidspoint-Crosspoint Church, Calvary Baptist Church Daycare, Cypress Run Child Development Center, Bossier City Nursery & Childcare Center, Best Friends Child Development and Preschool, Creative Children's Learning Center LLC, Small World Infant Child Development Center, Star Point Child Development Center and Evangel Learning Center.
"The initiative in these Louisiana parishes demonstrates the Wage and Hour Division's commitment to a new strategic approach to achieving sustained compliance with labor laws in high risk industries that employ vulnerable workers and where wage and hour violations are most prevalent," said Cynthia Watson, the division's regional administrator in the Southwest. "Employers subject to the FLSA cannot escape their responsibilities to properly classify and compensate employees for all hours of their hard work. The immediate success of our initiative should remind all employers in the child care industry that the Labor Department will use every available enforcement tool to ensure compliance and accountability under the law."
Child care is a rapidly expanding industry that employs a large number of low-wage and vulnerable workers. The Wage and Hour Division's work has revealed that many facilities pay their employees below the minimum wage, require them to work "off the clock" or beyond their scheduled work periods without proper overtime compensation, fail to pay employees for time spent at training and improperly classify employees as volunteers or as exempt from the FLSA, resulting in minimum wage and overtime violations.
In addition to the investigations, the Wage and Hour Division is providing compliance assistance and education to Louisiana employers and industry associations regarding the requirements of the FLSA and the consequences of violating the law. The division also is conducting outreach to workers, employee associations, community organizations and other stakeholders to engage them in dialogue and encourage their participation in promoting industry-wide compliance.
The FLSA requires that covered employees be paid at least the federal minimum wage of $7.25 for all hours worked, plus time and one-half their regular rates of pay, including commissions, bonuses and incentive pay, for hours worked beyond 40 per week. Employers must also maintain accurate time and payroll records.
For more information about the FLSA, call the Wage and Hour Division's toll-free helpline at 866-4US-WAGE (487-9243) or its New Orleans District Office at 504-589-6171. Information is also available on the Internet at http://www.dol.gov/whd.
U.S. Department of Labor releases are accessible on the Internet at www.dol.gov. The information in this news release will be made available in alternate format (large print, Braille, audio tape or disc) from the COAST office upon request. Please specify which news release when placing your request at (202) 693-7828 or TTY (202) 693-7755. The Labor Department is committed to providing America's employers and employees with easy access to understandable information on how to comply with its laws and regulations. For more information, please visit www.dol.gov/compliance.

My breasts are small. Can I make them larger? - Britta*
Just like eye color or height, a girl's genes decide her breast side. If you're in your teens, your breasts may still grow and change, but they may also have reached their final size. You won't know until you've finished growing. For most girls, that's in their late teens to early twenties.
Many products claim to boost breast size, but save your money: They don't work. Some girls are happier with their appearance when they wear padded bras. Others find that certain styles of tops and dresses are more flattering than others.
If you're concerned about the size or development of your breasts, talk to your doctor or gynecologist. Everyone goes through times when they don't like parts of their bodies — it's a normal part of getting used to a changing body. Even girls with large breasts can be unhappy and wish their breasts were smaller. Some find that their backs or shoulders hurt or that large breasts attract unwanted attention.
The only way to permanently change breast size is through cosmetic surgery, which comes with its own risks (and expense). Doctors usually prefer that girls wait until development is complete before getting surgery.
