McFarlane Toys produced a 3-inch-scale Don Mattingly baseball figure exclusive to the Toys "R" Us Times Square store in Manhattan. This limited-edition figure immortalizes one of the most popular players in New York Yankees history.
To celebrate the event, Todd McFarlane made an appearance at Toys "R" Us Times Square in conjunction with a Major League Baseball Opening Day promotion and feature shop at Toys "R" Us stores nationwide. McFarlane was on-hand to sign purchases of his latest McFarlane's Sports Picks MLB collectible figures at Toys "R" Us Times Square on Thursday, April 14 from 4-7 pm.
Todd's day in Manhattan began with a jam-packed media gauntlet of appearances and interviews.
A 7:30 AM wake-up call was followed by the quickest breakfast ever witnessed by humans and a cab ride to appear on ESPN2's Cold Pizza. Todd spoke with ESPN vet Linda Cohn about all the hot topics in sports and our upcoming Bonds line.
Then Todd headed to MTV in Times Square where, while waiting in the green room, he spoke with ABC Sports Radio's Todd Ant and then to the usual suspects back in Phoenix, Dan Bickley and Mike Jurecki on XTRA 910 AM. After the two phone interviews it was time to get on the airwaves of MTV Radio, where Todd talked about several pop culture topics.
Next up was a stop at the ESPN ZONE for lunch and a quick hit on ESPN News' Hot Seat.
One of the coolest stops on the tour was the next one when Todd headed over to the Sirius Satellite headquarters. It was incredible to check the place out and see how they track their satellites hovering miles and miles above Earth. Todd was on the Faction channel talking about baseball, hockey, Spawn ... you name it! He had a great time getting the tour and seeing the future home and studio of Howard Stern.
Todd then bolted back to Times Square to Toys "R" Us for the signing, taking time to hang out with the fans in line before being escorted inside. Once inside, Todd did several more interviews before making his way to the signing area.
One word, "wow!" What a great turnout! Hundreds of fans waited in line to have Todd sign their items. After wrapping up the evening around 8 PM, the day was deemed an overwhelming success by everyone who participated. Toys "R" Us had a successful sales day with the Mattingly exclusive as well as other MLB product they had available.
We also held a drawing to win a rare and unique McFarlane¹s Sports Picks 12-inch pewter-washed, hand-painted and hand-cast figure of Derek Jeter, shortstop for the New York Yankees. The winner was randomly selected from all the entries at the event. The lucky one? Tanner Gulick from Cumberland, Maine. He drove all the way from Maine and just found out; he was ecstatic. Congrats, Tanner.
Thanks to all our fans who took their time to come out. You guys continue to show your support in amazing ways and we appreciate it.
And we have a special surprise for those that weren't able to make it to the signing at Toys "R" Us Times Square. We kept aside five 3-inch Donnie Baseball figures and, as a bonus, we will have Todd sign them. Sound good? Click here to enter.

AUSTIN, TX - A Texas lawmaker is trying to bring back the football rivalry between Texas A&M University and The University of Texas.
Rep. Ryan Guillen (D-Rio Grande City) filed House Bill 778 in Austin on Monday to bring back a football game between the two programs.
"I think the people of Texas want a game, and we're trying to get them one," said Rep. Guillen in a press release. "The purpose of this bill is to put the "eyes of Texas upon" our two greatest state universities to restore this sacred Texas tradition."
The bill would require the two schools "to play each other annually in a non-conference, regular season football game."
The rivalry dated back to 1894 and was the third most played rivalry in Division I College Football.
The post-Thanksgiving Texas football rivalry came to an end when the Aggies decided to leave the Big XII Conference for the Southeastern Conference.
The last game between the two football programs was played in November 2011. Texas held the advantage in the series with a (76-37-5) record.
Guillen and his wife both graduated from Texas A&M University.
Today Texas A&M President R. Bowen Loftin commented on the bill via Twitter saying, "We remain hopeful that the game may continue one day through the normal scheduling process. Having said that, we, of course, will follow any specific direction from the Legislature."

In Denver, the council is expected to approve the fee that would start in April, directing grocery and convenience stores to charge 5 cents for every bag, paper or plastic, given to a customer. The idea is to entice people to stop using the thin plastic bags and rely on reusable bags instead.
Revenue from the fee would be split, with the city getting 3 cents and the store 2 cents. The city expects to generate $1.7 million the first year, which will be directed at outreach, environmental cleanup and buying reusable bags to give away.

Rösti, originally the typical farmers' breakfast in German-speaking Switzerland, today is a Swiss national dish popular on both sides of the divide. Each region has its own special way of cooking rösti though and Bern, for example, is famous for its crispy butter rösti.

It's always a surprise to me that our "liberal media" allows the politicians to control the agenda.
The politicians always say, "American people want ... " and "The most recent CNN poll says. ... " Obviously, if the American people want whatever, Washington is probably wrong, and if they're right, they prove time and again that what Americans want is not much of a priority for the 535 people that by some fluke were elected to represent what we want.
The big argument de jour is who's going to be blamed for shutting down the government. Whether Obamacare is good, bad or indifferent, is the issue only because the "right" says it's the issue – not what those intransigent left wing bums want you to think – that this is less important than shutting down the government.
Let's say Obama and the Senate "cave." So when the "right" wants another 100 billion to buy planes, tanks, guns – none of which is necessary to fight the fight in which we now find ourselves, but oh that military/industrial complex really has us by the short hair – does Obama cave again, having established a precedent for caving rather than leading?
We all agree don't we, that Medicare, Medicaid, Defense, are all rife with fraud and abuse and we could save billions by cleaning up those messes.
Who's stopping you?
Could you work out something on gun control or illegal immigration or border control or are they all less urgent to the American people than Obamacare?
Lastly, of course, Americans do have short memories, but they're not as dumb as they vote. Clearly, trading Obamacare for government shutdown will be blamed on the known "take-no-prisoners" attitude of the right and you're heading for a Democratic House, Senate, and president next year. Ooooh.

I made what adjustments I could without redoing all the UV textures, as they didn't line up when opening the 3DS version in Blender. They look adequate, but far from perfect. I've added procedurals and adjusted things until they looked clean to my eye. It's intended for a distance fleet shot, so I'm not too concerned about the textures, but it looks pretty good at a middle range as well.
I'm also making a conversion of Skye Dodds' Defiant, with a much improved warhead, adjusted textures, details accurate to the studio model, ROUND windows on the bottom, a refractive deflector like the studio model (the CGI model used a mesh texture, but the real model looked better) and more. I haven't got plans to adjust the inaccuracies in the actual hull shape, but I am making some adjustments where I'm able to.
I am also working on a full clean up and conversion of DS9 that will be made available when it's complete. I'd rather use a better version, but I'm currently using the only one I could open. ^.^

During your J-1 program you must take care to maintain lawful J-1 status, as failure to do so can have serious long-term consequences for you. These are the steps every J-1 scholar must follow in order to maintain legal status while in the U.S.
Program sponsors are required by law to keep the Department of Homeland Security of exchange visitors' U.S. addresses at all times. It is your responsibility to keep International Scholar Services apprised of your current residence. Within ten days of a move you must notify International Scholar Services of your new address so the staff can update your SEVIS record.
You can report your new address by visiting the office, or sending an email to the attention of Scholar Services at firstname.lastname@example.com with your name, visa type, new address, and telephone number.
NYU is responsible for reporting early departures in SEVIS. If you plan to leave NYU more than 30 days before the end date of your authorized stay as indicated on your Form DS-2019, notify International Scholar Services of your departure shortly before you leave. You may email to the attention of Scholar Services at firstname.lastname@example.com your name, visa type, original and new end date, and reason for early departure, or visit International Scholar Services.
J-1 visitors are allowed a 30-day grace period beyond the end date on their DS-2019. This additional 30-day period is not for employment, extensions, or transfers. If you travel outside the U.S. during your 30-day grace period, you forfeit the remaining grace period and may not re-enter the U.S. under J-1 status.
The only activity you are permitted is the one described in section 4 of the DS-2019 form. You must consult an advisor in advance if you wish to take up any other work during your stay. (See information about incidental employment.)
Willful disregard of these requirements will result in termination of your program and your J-1 status.
If your appointment at the University is extended, the hiring department must contact OGS before the current expiration date to have the DS-2019 form extended as well.
If offered a comparable position at another college or university, discuss your plans with an advisor to make sure that the required transfer procedure can be accomplished.

Evan Guthrie is trying to get active with Dorchester District Two Schools.
Guthrie, an attorney through his home-based law firm Evan Guthrie Law Firm, likes to contribute to students education. He is involved in DD2s Career and Technology Education (CATE) program, attending meetings and making sure students are both college and career-ready.
He is also involved with Dorchester Two Higher Learning Academy, which has business and community leaders come and speak with students at monthly meetings in order to give advice on different careers.
He also visits and speaks at law, finance and entrepreneur education classes in the district.
Now Guthrie wishes to become more involved, which is why he is in the running for this years school board election.
I definitely have a passion for education and want to make sure children get the best education possible, he said.
As a lawyer Guthrie does estate planning, and writes wills and trusts. Being heavily involved with planning for someones future, Guthrie would like to bring the idea of long-term planning to DD2s school board.
To get that flexibility in the future you have to make plans today, he said.
Guthrie said he would like to be a different voice on the board one with a lawyers perspective in order to help students.
I think that its good to have different voices on the board, he said. It helps bring all ideas out.
Earlier this year Guthrie competed against incumbent Rep. Jenny Horne and Franklin Smith in the Republican primary for Hornes seat. Horne garnered 64 percent of the vote in a three-way race. Smith took 21 percent and Guthrie took 15 percent.
Guthrie told The Summerville Journal Scene that although the House race did not work out in his favor, Guthrie still garnered some experience from being a candidate.
Really one of the big issues when I talked to prospective voters was education, he said. I got an earful of some of the needs. I want to have a really good working relationship with elected officials.
As the school board members wait for Election Day to arrive Guthrie is looking forward to visiting schools, talking to voters and finding out the needs of the district.
I definitely want to be open to what everybody wants to see from an elected official, he said. By November well definitely have a good idea of what the needs in the district are.
Guthrie said he definitely wants to expand on more practical career-ready classes.
They (the board) do a really good job with that, he said. Well just keep expanding it out.
Guthrie also wants to have good communication with taxpayers.
I want to be more transparent, he said. I want to make sure the process is as transparent as possible so the taxpayers know where their dollars are going.
A lot of the taxpayers who dont have kids in school want to make sure were accountable and being the best stewards of their money, he added. We want to make sure we can divulge and reveal as much as possible, and be as open as possible.

The National League of Junior Cotillions opened the Junior Cotillion Season with 200 students from Beaufort and Charleston beginning the classes on etiquette, ethics and social dance.
Last Tuesday, basic protocol such as greetings and introductions and proper escorting were just two of the social skills presented in Mount Pleasant by director Mary Kennerty. "Our copyrighted program is unique with its 'hands-on' approach to learning what's appropriate in social behavior."
The first event was listed as "The Icebreaker Dance." Staff used the Mexican Hat Dance to help the students overcome nervousness at the first class.The next event is Sept. 24 and there will be more role playing and skits along with updated music.
"We are thrilled to be at the Snee Farm Country Club's newly renovated ballroom. The staff has been extremely accommodating and we look forward to maintaining an ongoing relationship with Snee Farm."
"Our chaperones are an important part of our program. They support the children and staff completing duties for the evening," says Kennerty. Chaperoning for the Season I class of fourth and fifth graders were: Dr. and Mrs. Lee Royall, Dr. and Mrs. Woodrow Coker, John Fowler, and Mrs. John Mutter. Chaperoning for the Season II class were: Mrs. Rhett Reidenbach, Mrs. Steven E. Harvey, Ellen Stebbins, Steve Peck, Mrs. James Ball, Renee Keller and Mrs. Sean Prendergrast.

Therefore she neither smokes nor drinks and refuses to be near others thusly engaged. An impossible woman to drag out anywhere unless it's to an organic marché and who wants to do that while in Paris?
I love this picture of M.'s clenched hands while I record her cup of tea for future possible "research" purposes. We got the works. I got a pot of chocolat chaud and oeuf dur and M. got thé and actually ate TWO croissants and FOUR types of confiture (jam).
This has to be some kind of record for M. who is not your average French woman except that she does watch what she eats.
I always forget to watch = my downfall. I just eat. Haven't you heard that many times, "Watch what you eat!"
Of course these lavish so-called "petit" breakfasts are not petit at all. 4 kinds of jam? Who does that at home. It takes a huge effort to forget there is just 1 kind of jam sitting inside the refigerator while you eat your unbuttered toast, much less munch on a magnificent French croissant.
AND they bring you a big round pad of Normandy butter to put on your already buttery croissant. Coals to Newcastle and all that... Oh well, that's the point of going on vacance, even if you do tell people you'll be very busy doing research. Yeah, research on croissants and confiture and chocolat chaud! My vacations are ALWAYS research-oriented.
Because everyone takes them home as a souvenir, that's why.
I bought a Flore glass at the Café Flore shop around the corner - open 12 noon. I'm sorry to report it's a far more elegant version than the sturdy, robust glasses served in the café, where they stand up to wear and tear of daily usage and rowdy customers.. Disappointing all the same :(
Café Flore P.D.,watercolor, 10" x 12 1/2"
While we were sitting there wolfing down this "grand" déjeuner, a big elevator-contraption appeared in the Flore doorway. This mammoth thing brings stuff up from the cellar - dishes, bottles, whatever. She and her brother used to ride up and down it for kicks!
M. told me she would also monkey around with the beer pressure in the cellar. When her father would serve a beer from the tap, it would blast out like nobody's business. Evidently there were indulgent parents back then as well, since she never got spanked for any of these bistro pranks.I took a special still life painting class with Susanna Coffey, called "Perishables" at the National Academy. We painted the same still life over and over for a month and by the end of class, that thing was seriously "perished".
Now this is what I would call a perished p'tit déj' if you can say such a thing. I'm not nearly as in love with the perfect untouched, pristine still life as I am with the devastated and devoured one.

History of 44 Magnum Ammunition
The .44 Magnum cartridge was created through the work of Elmer Keith from years of custom loading and prolific article writing about the .44 Special cartridge. Keith wanted to make the .44 Special suitable for handgun hunting and in the process creating heavy bullet, high pressure loads. The potential liability of these cartridges was not lost on manufacturers. Through collaboration with Remington for the ammunition and Smith and Wesson for the revolver, the .44 Magnum was born. However, it was not Smith and Wesson that introduced the .44 Magnum to the market. Sturm, Ruger released their iconic single action Blackhawk revolver in .44 Magnum in early 1956.
Commonly found in 200 to 230 grain bullet weights, the .44 Magnum can reach velocities around 1500 feet per second, and generate 1,200 foot pounds of energy at the muzzle. The case is slightly longer than the .44 Special, which can be fired in .44 Magnum handguns.
The .44 Magnum was originally introduced as a cartridge for handgun hunting. It still fills this role very well, but over time it has become more than just a handgun hunting cartridge. It has been chambered in semi auto, bolt and lever action rifles for use on medium sized game, such as whitetail deer and feral hogs with great success. In addition to revolvers and rifles, the .44 Mag. has been chambered in a semi auto pistol as well, the Desert Eagle.
Even though there are possibly hundreds of different firearms that are chambered for the .44 Magnum, one stands as the flagship for all things .44 Mag., the Smith and Wesson Model 29. This revolver, carried by the character "Dirty Harry" Callahan in the Dirty Harry series of movies, introduced the "non-shooting" public to the "Most powerful handgun in the world." This caused the popularity of the Model 29 and .44 Mag to skyrocket.
Ammunition manufacturers have kept up with the steady demand for innovative cartridges in this caliber over the last half century. Federal Premium offers .44 Mag in Hydra-Shok, Vital-Shok, Power-Shok, cartridges, as well as the traditional hollow point and soft point ammunition. Hornady produces .44 Mag cartridges using their Critical Defense bullets. These are only examples of the wide selection of .44 Mag cartridges that can be had from any major ammunition producer. The .44 Magnum continues to be a powerful and versatile cartridge, whether used for hunting, self defense or just shooting with friends.

The City of Aiken is getting some national exposure through a show that hits airwaves across the country.
The City is featured on "Today in America," which is aired on a variety of news networks in both the United States and Canada. The show focuses on the stories of people and businesses in communities around the United States. It's hosted by former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw.
Aiken is described in the show as "an American gem" with "rich history" and wonderful hospitality. Several familiar local faces are in the segment, including Aiken native Judith Burgess, City Mayor Fred Cavanaugh, City Councilwoman and URS employee Lessie Price and Economic Development Partnership Director Will Williams.
"I think it's a great opportunity for Aiken to get some publicity and for us to showcase our city," Cavanaugh said. "I hope maybe some folks will see (the segment) and come visit us."
Filming started in late May and it took several months to put the segment together. Those involved seem pleased with the final product. A lot of information was packed into the piece which is close to five minutes long. The equestrian community, Aiken's history, key social events, local businesses and institutions and the different city parks were all mentioned.
URS and the Economic Development Partnership funded the segment. Williams said this was a great chance to really promote Aiken and everything it has to offer.
"It really does enhance the marketing for the City," Williams said. "This will enhance our efforts in economic development by having people in other parts of the country see our short segment. I'm glad we had the opportunity to do this."
Williams said that they were able to choose markets for the segment to appear in. For example, it was shown in the Charlotte area shortly after Thanksgiving.
"It is wonderful to have the opportunity to share the very positive aspects about Aiken with folks who need to spend time here," said City Manager Richard Pearce.
Price said that URS was eager to get involved after hearing of the opportunity to showcase Aiken in a positive way, especially in regards to economic development with the focus on a community that thrives on partnerships. With so many coming into Aiken from around the country and even the world, whether it's for business or to visit family or friends, Price said this segment helps build the case even more so that this is a great community to live in.
The segment is available on the City of Aiken's website at www.cityofaikensc.gov.

Gillette Downs Sheridan in Pivotal Region 9 ContestJanuary 27, 2013
In an electric atmosphere in front of a capacity crowd at South Campus Gymnasium, the Gillette College Pronghorns started fast and never looked back as Chelsie Pitt, Kiela Garner, and Kenosha Wright all had double figure points at the half (15, 13, & 12 respecitvely) where they led their team to a 43-27 intermission advantage. All three went on to finish with game highs of 21, 17, & 16 points as the Pronghorns defeated the Lady Generals 72-58 in a pivotal Region IX match-up.
The defensive pressure of the Gillette's guards limited the shooting percentages of Sheridan's shooters allowing only 18% from the three point line and 37% from the field overall. On the other hand, the Pronghorns blistered the nets in the first half shooting 7 of 10 from 3 point range with Garner hitting 3 for 3, Pitt hitting on 3 for 4, and Christina Davis hitting a trey all in the first half. "It was a coming-out party for Kiela this evening," Coach Will Rider said of Garner's performance after the game. "This will be a great confidence boost for her down the stretch. That shooting exhibition gave us a tremendous boost of confidence early in the game and the rest of the team rallied around those performances to help keep the momentum on our side." Much of that momentum was felt on the boards as Gillette out-rebounded Sheridan by 13 boards to help the Pronghorns secure key possessions throughout the contest. Alicia Carline, who is leading the nation in field goal percentage at 69%, only went 1 for 4 from the field but had 4 blocked shots at key times during the contest.
The win gives Sheridan their first Region loss of the season and boosts the Pronghorn Regional record to 6-3, solidifying a 3rd place spot with 7 games yet to play and 4 of them at home where they remain unbeaten on the year with 11 consecutive home wins. If Gillette (19-4, 6-3) can finish the season with a strong finish, they should be able to secure one of the top two seeds in the Regional Tournament in March. Gillette will take to the road again next Saturday as they travel to Glendive, MT to take on the Dawson College Buccaneers. Game time will be at 5:30 pm and should be broadcast via a live video feed on the DCC website.

Windows 10: Microsoft previews the next iteration of Windows
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Corporate News, Microsoft, PC / Laptop, Software
Today, Microsoft officially announced the next version of Windows: Windows 10. If you're confused, you're not alone. The currently-available version of Windows is 8.1, which means that Microsoft has inexplicably decided to forego version 9 altogether. Rumors that the next version would be called Windows TH, Windows One, or Windows 9 have now been dashed—Windows 10 is the future of Microsoft's desktop operating system. It's also still technically the 9th release of Windows.
At an unveiling event earlier today, the company called Windows 10 the "most comprehensive platform ever," as it will run on all displays, from 4-inches and up. That means Windows 10 will run on phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, servers, and high definition television screens. "Windows 10 will deliver the right experience on the right device at the right time," said Microsoft's Terry Myerson. "Windows 10 will run on the broadest types of devices ever."
Optimists will say that Microsoft is listening to all of the negative backlash that was met with the release of Windows 8, taking in that feedback, and reverting a bunch of changes to give customers what they want. Others will point out that Windows 10 looks like a mashup of the beloved Windows 7 and the polarizing Windows 8, with a bunch of Mac OS X features (like Expose and Mission Control) thrown in, and is an obvious step backwards. We see both sides of the argument, but it's also very early to tell, as Windows 10 won't ship until late 2015.

Microsoft will reveal Windows 9 on September 30th
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Corporate News, Microsoft, PC / Laptop, Software
Microsoft has started sending out invitation to select press to its Windows 9 reveal event that will take place in San Francisco, California on September 30th. Microsoft execs Joe Belfiore and Terry Myerson will both be on hand to talk about "what's next for Windows and the enterprise." At the end of the event, we expect the company to release a Windows 9 Technical Preview that will allow developers and enterprise users to take the new software for a test drive to get apps updated and deployment scenarios tested. New features for Windows 9 include Cortana integration, virtual desktops, a new Start menu, Notification Center, and a refreshed UI that will see flatter icons (similar to Apple's OS X Yosemite.)
Get a free game of your choosing with Xbox One purchase next week
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Hot Deals, Microsoft, Video Games
If you haven't picked up an Xbox One yet (or, if you need an extra one for the bedroom,) next week will be a great time to buy. Microsoft is running a promotion from September 7 through 13th where buying an Xbox One at participating retailers will include any free game of your choosing that costs $59.99 or less. Yes, that includes Destiny, Bungie's new title, which drops on September 9. That's a nice savings, since you'll probably want at least one game to play on your new console anyway. Speaking of which, the offer applies to Xbox One bundles as well, so if you buy the Xbox One Madden NFL 15 Bundle or the Forza Motorsport 5 Bundle, each of which already comes with a free game, you get another free game of your choosing on top of that.

How Cortana made the leap from Halo to Windows Phone
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Features, Microsoft
Curious about how Cortana made her way from assisting Master Chief in Halo over to helping you out on Windows Phone? During a sit-down with Microsoft's Marcus Ash, he spoke to us about what it took to get Cortana just right on Windows Phone and to be seen as a legitimate competitor to Apple's Siri.
First, the Cortana logo was the first thing Microsoft has to get right. Originally, they didn't want a physical representation. The thought was that people could think it was creepy if it is "too human." They also didn't want it to be like Clippy, the infamous character from Microsoft Office that was hated by many. It was also decided that Cortana couldn't be just a voice, since it wouldn't feel the same.
Initially, Microsoft tried to use the Xbox Live avatar idea, but that was odd due to everyone having the female Cortana voice. Then they started playing around with the circle. A circle can stretch, bounce, and transform. They also tried triangles, diamonds, hearts, and the ability of letter the user choose any of these. At the end of the day, the circle next to Metro on the start screen looked good, so that was what Microsoft decided on. The next issue was that a simple circle isn't iconic, and is hard to brand. That's when the Windows Phone team met with the Halo team at 343 Industries.

Water Filters
Water Filters For Sale or Rent:
There are numbers different methods of filtering water; each type of filter has varying degrees of effectiveness, and are of varying costs. The general purpose of filtering water is to improve the water's hygiene, taste and aesthetic qualities. The water filtering methods employed in water filters for example
Fridge filters bootless water coolers, bottle filter water dispensers and Bubblers is to produce pure filtered water. There are many and varied choices depending on the degree of purity you want (and/or reductions in contaminant in the water source). Mostly, the more you pay/investing in your filter the better the end results.
When purchasing your water filter consider Here we list some of the most comment methods- A water filter for fluoride removal a water cooler with a re fillable bottle on top and a filter inside:
The filters inside a water bottle are called bottle filters or BFA (an example of it can be found at Bottle filter )
Filters for a water cooler connected to the mains supply:
There are water filters called CB or Carbon Block, designed to reduce such contaminates as sediments, tastes, smells, chlorine and a myriad of other contaminants. (See a sample at Matrikx Filter )
CB or Activated Carbon Filtration is an established technology that works through absorption of the problematic compounds, primarily to remove taste and odor but these systems will also remove some harmful contaminants.ACis a highly porous material with a very large surface area. Chemical pollutants are attracted to and held by the AC's surface. These water filters are best suited for the removal of organic compounds.
UV (Ultra Violet) Filters are for water coolers connected to mains supply – UV Filters (see an example of a UV Filter at Aqua Pro UV Filter they are designed for biological unsafe water and are able to kill the majority of bacteria and viruses in the water which passes through them. However, they won't remove chemical pollutants from the water (for these you use CB Carbon Block filters) . Also you should note that the treatment is ineffective outside of the treatment area, so water should be used immediately after it is treated. Another type is the Ceramic water filters;Royal Daltonis one of the most famous brands. These filters are also commonly used for biologically suspect or extremely contaminated water.
Water filter fluoride removal sytems
To remove Fluoride and most other contaminates there are the specialized filters (often but not always using a combination of sediment and carbon water filters) see our extensive information on RO Reverses Osmosis filters they combine several technologies to help remove the more complex chemicals"such as Fluoride"found in our water today.
Then there are Water Ionizers specifically to improve your health, see extensive information at Ion life F.A.Q .
The definitive answer to the problem of fluoride in our drinking water – and the most effective long term solution is undoubtedly the Reverse Osmosis technology, which removes up to 98% of fluoride, with similar rates for all other chemicals and pollutants from your drinking water.
Because Reverse Osmosis is so efficient, it also removes all minerals from the water, which actually causes it to be acidic as it draws carbon dioxide from the air on pouring.
The RO systems work by pressuring water up against a semi-permeable membrane that stops contaminants from passing but allows clean water to get through. Both health-related related contaminates-such as lead and asbestos-as well as many aesthetic contaminates that can affect taste, color and odor of water are reduced or eliminated by an RO system.
Reverse Osmosis systems, produce high-quality water perfect for use in drinking, cooking and making ice cubes. The low mineral content of ROtreated water also makes it ideal for use in steam irons, car batteries and humidifiers. Today, more than 70 percent of Australians say they are concerned about the quality of their home water. A reverse osmosis system is an effective means producing gallons/Liters of fresh water at a fraction of the cost of premium-bottled water.
Osmosis is the natural tendency for water of al lesser concentration containing few dissolvent particles) to pass through a semi-permeable membrane and dilute water of a higher concentration (containing more dissolved particles). Eventually, the fluid concentration on both sides of the membrane is equalized.
Reverse Osmosis, as its name implies, is the reversal to the natural flow of osmosis. By applying pressure to the water solution of higher concentration (the incoming water), the flow of liquid is reversed. Under these conditions, the membrane still rejects the containment, but allows the fresh cleansed water to pass through. The purified water is collected and the contaminates are flushed away. The process, originally designed to make see water drinkable for the Navy, removes sodium, as well as lead, arsenic, nitrates, asbestos, and a range of other contaminants from household drinking or bore water.
Questions and Answers about Reverse Osmosis Systems for Home Water Treatment:
Q. Who should consider purchasing reverse osmosis systems?
A. Anyone concerned about the quality of their drinking water-particularly if their home drinking water-particularly if they notice taste or odor problems or are aware of high levels of dissolved minerals in their water supply-should consider an RO system. Additionally, RO systems often are recommended for immune-comprised individuals who could be especially susceptible infection from various waterborne contaminants. The center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends reverse osmosis as a method for removal of dangers microorganism cyst called Cryptosporidium. Reverse Osmosis systems, which generally include both an RO membrane and pre-and post filters, offer a comprehensive means of potentially harmful contaminants in home drinking water.
Q. Specifically which contaminants do reverse osmosis systems remove?'
- Aluminium 90%
- Arsenic 98%
- Arlum 95%
- Cadmium 95%
- Calcium 98%
- Chromium III 98%
- Copper 90%
- Fluoride 95%
- Iron 98%
- Lead 90%
- Magnesium 98%
- Manganese 90%
- Mercury II 85%
- Nitrate 90%
- Potassium 95%
- Selenium 95%
- Silver 98%
- Sodium 95%
- Strontium 90%
- Sulphate 90%
- Zinc 98%
- Total Dissolved Solids 95%
- Asbestos 99%
- Chlorine 98%+
- Herbicides 98%+
- Pesticides 98%+
- Endrin 90%+
- Undane 98%+
- Aldrin 98%+
- Benzene 98%+

- Dichloromethane 98%+
- Chloroform 98%+
- Trichloroethylene 98%+
- Perchlorethylene 98%+
- Tannic Acid 98%+
- Metoxychlor 98%+
Q. Beyond reducing health related contaminants, what are some other benefits of installing a reverse osmosis water system? A. There are many benefits to installing a reverse osmosis system beyond greatly reduced concentrations of contaminants. Cleaner, sparkling drinking water is probably the most noticeable. Because there is little to alter the RO-treated waters natural state, the flavor of food can come through without anychemicaltaste. Brewed items such as coffee, tea, or soups may have a richer. more robust flavor, and fruit juices and powdered drinks mixed with RO-treated water may taste better, too. Even ice cubes can take on a crystal clear appearance. Q. Does a Reverse Osmosis system remove biological contaminate?
A. RO systems are capable to removing certain biological chemicals such as Cryptosporidium and Guardia. The pore size of the RO membrane along with the amount of pressure applied to the water will generally determine the rate of reduction of such contaminants. The Water Quality Association (WQA)cautions, however, that while RO membranes are reliable for treatment of a range of health contaminants, design considerations such as tiny leaks or manufacturing imperfections may prevent a unit from offering foolproof protection against biological contaminants for consumer drinking water systems. Therefore, WQA suggests that absolute disinfections (a reduction of contaminants greater than 99.9% be ensured with cyst-rated and certified products and post-disinfections systems such as ultra violet light.
Q. How do I properly maintain my reverse osmosis system?
A. The filter of your RO system should be changed periodically. In general, both the pre-and post-filters should be replaced every six month, or at least annually: however, the maintenance schedule may vary due to the local water conditions, the quantity of water being filtered, and the manufacturers recommendations. The reverse osmosis membrane normally lasts between 3 to 5 years. WQA suggests you closely follow the maintenance schedule provided by you water treatment specialist or the manufacturer to ensure that the system is in proper working order.
