Positive Feedback ISSUE
march/april 2007
From Clark Johnsen's Diaries: A Follow-up on
the Memory Player
Back in Issue 24 I wrote about the new Nova Physics Memory Player. http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue24/cjdiaries.htm In fact, it was Positive Feedback that carried the first report of this revolutionary CD playback device, which subsequently became many reviewers' darling, both here http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue28/novaphysics_memoryplayer.htm and elsewhere, with other reviews apparently due soon.
Myself, I had not heard it until the recent CES, a report on which shall be filed for the next issue of PFO. Meanwhile I learned that early production of the Player had been limited (although the second run is now in progress), and that every reviewer who had one, insisted on buying it. Therefore, so far as I know, only a single unit has landed in private hands.
As it happens, I know the gentleman, and am therefore pleased to be able to share his remarks on the Memory Player, as well as those of his associate in whose system it was also heard. These are the first responses I've seen from individuals who are not actual reviewers; moreover, they possess literary merit.
First from the happy owner, Alan Eichenbaum, an attorney in Florida who's also connected to the Scaena loudspeaker company.
From Alan Eichenbaum...
I have owned two of the most highly regarded digital front ends extant, the EMM Labs and dCS (including the SACD capabilities on both of the aforementioned) as well as the Forsell, Lector, Stibbert, Theta, Spectral, and on and on. I have listened to almost all the others out there. The Memory Player is so different in its presentation that it's difficult for me to describe exactly what I hear. What I had read previously did not prepare me for this—the reviewers too conservative or maybe you just can't understand by reading about it w/o hearing it. In fact I am sure that is true—because it is hard to describe something you yourself have just experienced for the first time to someone who hasn't experienced it at all. Like the first orgasm.
NOTE these comments are based on listening in my system—I did not hear this in Las Vegas to the same extent in either of the two systems using the MP there—perhaps it was the rooms, perhaps because of a mediocre SS amp, and I am back using tube amplification now—but here goes. The listening is totally devoid of ANY point where the music is harsh, fatiguing or causes you to shut down your hearing to protect against passages that are clearly stressed, that you know are stressed and you know from prior listening are coming. Even CDs that I could not tolerate listening to at my preferred listening level, or even much lower levels—such as Dave Matthews, Crash—which always sound like a harsh discordant mixture of sounds (to wit, cacophonous) when all of the various instruments and sounds are played simultaneously. Heretofore I thought it was just a lousy recording—but it is somehow decongested—the original previously unrevealed integrity maintained.
It seems to me that all other CD playback somehow truncates the notes and voices to some small or large degree—the truncation somehow gets filled in with what then sounds unnatural, harsh, artificial—maybe that's what jitter is—I don't know. By way of analogy, one could speak the sentence, "I am going to the store in one hour"—if that sentence were somehow morphed into being music it would have a flow to it, a naturalness—but to me normal CD digital sounds like someone saying "I go store hour"; basically we know what the sentence is, but if it were music it would be choppy, incomplete, robbed of some of the beauty that sound and music convey.
Now imagine six, eight, ten or more instruments all at the same time intoning, "I go store hour". Its seems that the normal CD playback creates the missing words with a substitute, and sometimes it does this better than others, or it doesn't create the missing at all, and it is in those spaces, the missing words or missing parts of a note or voice that the harshness, the fatigue, the sterility occur and more importantly some precious music, some magical quality is lost.
I don't know what the MP does or how—but it allows for an unimpeded flow that seems devoid of artificial filler; it allows the precious parts, the cues that tell us we are listening to musicians and instruments played by them, to come through—the magic that we sometimes hear—happens far more often and better than ever previously heard. I have not yet found the CD that I can play at any comfortable level—and that means loud—that causes me to shut down my listening, to protect my ears anticipatorily. And that makes for the most natural presentation I have ever experienced partly because those moments when you get lost in the music are no longer interrupted by those moments when you are slapped back to reality by a passage that screams, "This is so not real!" Thus you get lost longer, more often and more deeply on a complete CD, uninterrupted by that unfriendly reminder.
Virtually every CD I put into Memory playback sounded considerably better than I had ever heard it before—surprisingly and particularly on those that I had found to be "poorly recorded". Not that the good recordings weren't better—they were—but the "poor ones" were transformed to good. Even good recordings with bad parts were transformed. Patricia Barber's Café Blue is a very good CD—particularly the FIM and Mobile Fidelity CDs. I have listened to the cut "Nardis" hundreds of times—there is a smashing of cymbals 7 minutes in or so that I just have never heard sound good—NOT EVER—generally it sounds like white noise to me—a hash-like static that ruins the experience of the entire 11 minute cut—the speed and violence of the frenetic thrashing of metal is just beyond modern playback, particularly CD, but vinyl as well. But on the MP—it was good—I could tell what it was—not perfect—but so far beyond what I had previously heard that it was stunning. It is my ultimate torture test, usually for me as well as for the system. But not any more. Hence SACD and normal CD playback are no longer viable options. This is not just a better CD player. It is a different experience.
Next up
Then from his pal and mine, Rob Hart, who formerly operated Audiotweakers but has no business connection to the Nova Physics Group. (Note: I allowed him to edit his remarks, after he learned of my intention to publish them.)
From Rob Hart...
How good is your system? Even if you have a megabuck analog rig, you simply cannot know until you hear it with the Memory Player. That's my opinion as of just last night.
Most high-end enthusiasts have been brainwashed to believe that we need to spend BIG bucks on pre, amp, speakers, cabling as well as the source. I'm here to tell you it may not be so.
While the $22K MSRP I have tied up in my entire system is not chump change, many audiophiles have 2-3 times that much in their speakers, let alone systems. Not only is my impression of the MP valid for those with more than $20K systems, but for anyone looking for a hassle-free, tweak-free CD playback medium that not only rivals analog, but may even better it! And we're talking plain old Redbook here.
My Stibbert ranks among Harry Pearson's top tier of digital playback units. Taking mine a few steps further, I also added after-market isolation columns, cryoed NOS tubes, and Herbie Tube Dampers. Total digital source dollars—$7K. Fellow audiophiles feel my system is very musical, although not the equal of their significantly more expensive analog rigs. I have to agree.
Yesterday I had the unique pleasure of hearing the Nova Physics Memory Player (MP) in my system for several hours. First we listened to the Stibbert, followed by the same disc played back from the MP flash drive. From the very first note out of the latter, it was immediately obvious that no matter how well done, conventional digital playback (whether over- or up-sampled) has a stickiness and an electronic edge that has long kept analog comfortably in place as the audio king.
The best digital units available do a better job of minimizing digital problems, but not eliminating them. When I heard the MP side-by-side with the Stibbert, I realized how conventional digital processing fails to recreate the live (or recorded) musical events' pacing, imaging, timing, upper-mid to high frequencies, and musical ease.
Considering that digital manufacturers have been struggling with these exact same issues for over 20 years, one wonders why someone hasn't decided to think outside the box. That someone would seem to be Mark [Porzilli, designer of the former Melos line of electronics, the original Pipedreams loudspeakers and now the new Scaenas].
Using the MP built-in volume control (no signal loss I could detect) also saves the cost of a preamp, an additional power cord, shelving and isolation devices. In my own system the savings would be over $10K! Alas, the net cost of about $8K [with built-in DAC] is still too rich for my blood, but for anyone who has the disposable income and a passion for unparalleled music playback, coupled with a demand for convenience, I would not hesitate.
I have friends with extraordinary turntable rigs that cost much more than a full tilt MP, and yet the MP is in another league from them, too. My sense is you would have to use 15- or 30-ips master tapes in an attempt to level the field. The MP puts SOTA music playback at anyone's fingertips, and it stores approximately 300 discs.
Caution: Once you've experienced the MP in your own home, the hook is set.

Even though the economy created 244,400 new jobs in April, the unemployment rate returned to 9.0 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' latest employment report. Last month was the third consecutive month of job growth in excess of 200,000, with an average of 233,000 per month. While the growth is encouraging, the rise in employment last month benefited from one-time factors that will not be repeated, such as job growth for retail and restaurants inflated by the later-than-usual Easter.
The April rise in unemployment was almost certainly just a measurement error that partially reversed the extraordinarily rapid decline reported in December and January. Over the last year, the household survey shows employment growth of just 764,000 (adjusted for the change in population controls). This compares to an increase of 1,313,000 jobs reported in the establishment survey. We should have expected labor force growth of roughly 1,000,000 over this period. This implies that the job growth we have seen should have only led to a drop in unemployment of 0.2 percentage points, not the 0.8 percentage point drop we actually saw over the last year.

- DuPont Tyvek 400 Disposable Hazmat Coverall Suit, TY122SVP
The TY122SVP Coverall Suit provides protection from many hazardous materials and skin irritants such as fiber insulation and dust. This Coverall Suit is suitable for a range of jobs including paint spraying, mold treatment and lead or asbestos abatement work. Tyvek protective suits are able to breathe so they don't get too hot, but they stop dangerous particles down to 1 micron in size.
The Tyvek TY122SVP Coverall with attached hood and booties is often used by people removing lead pipes, asbestos or lead paint from structures. Painters use the DuPont HazMat Coveralls when spraying oil or epoxy-based paints, and they are used for a range of general clean up, healthcare, and maintenance work. Tyvek can only handle a little "light liquid splash" so it is generally better at protecting against dry substances. If you need protection against liquid, take a look at the Tychem series also from DuPont.
If in doubt about the size, go up one size. These suits do not stretch.
Key Features:
- Protective barrier to particles down to 1 micron
- Protection for lead and asbestos abatement
- Elastic wrist bands
- Attached hood and booties
- Designed for maneuverability, comfort and durability
- These suits come individually poly bagged and labeled
Tyvek material is non-woven and made from flash spun, high density polyethylene. It is a proprietary product made only by the DuPont company.

DuPont Tyvek 400 Disposable Hazmat Coverall Suit, TY122SVP - Three Tips for Using the Tyvek TY122
Tyvek TY122 Tips Video Transcript
00:05 Hi this is Rick Pedley and welcome to PK Safety.com. Today we're going to be looking at the Dupont Tyvek haz-mat suit TY-122. This is our most popular full-body disposable coverall and is used as a protective barrier during asbestos and lead removal. We're gonna show you a few tips on buying and using this product to make it a little easier and safer.
00:34 Tip number one: go a size larger than the chart might indicate. The material is quite strong, but everywhere it's sewn, it's gonna be weak—under the arms, in the crotch, and we don't want a rip-out. Also, by keeping the dust out, we also keep the heat in, so I suggest wearing a t-shirt and shorts, because you're gonna get warm.
00:51 Tip number two: put these booties inside of another pair of boots or shoes. This is gonna prevent the sole from ripping and give you better traction. Also, remember we are taking out lead and asbestos, and we don't want to track that outside the work area. A pair of boots that you can hose out would be a big advantage.
1:08 And finally, tip number three: use tape on your wrist between the sleeve of the coverall and your glove. This is for an unbroken barrier, as you raise your arm the sleeve will pull back. For more information and to purchase these coveralls, please visit us at pksafety.com. And thank you for watching.

- Great product - DuPont Tyvek 1414 HazMat Coverall Suit TY122SVP Review by Chuck
Used this suit along with gloves I purchased and a filtered breathing mask I already owned. Used it for poison ivy and poison sumac removal from my yard. Did get a bit hot after a few hours but did protect me 100% with no out break or rashes afterwards. Will be purchasing another in the future when neighbors poison takes over my fence line again.

- Everything was great Review by Lillian
Everything was great. The products held up nicely, the sizes fit for both of us but most of all, the combo of the mask and the filter that was suggested to me for both cat urine and "debris" was perfect. I had to shift the mask off my face as it started to hurt my nose and in that one second could smell the overpowering smell in the room. These masks and filters were perfect (sizes fit well for both of us). When on, I could smell nothing and felt my lungs were protected. My only suggestion to the manufacturer of the coveralls would be to have elastic band on the wrists. There were roaches and I worked slower on this clean-up than I should have been so roaches would not crawl up my arms. Rubber bands I brought were either too big or too tight. Otherwise, I felt very well protected, but the smell of cat urine did remain on my old sneakers which I planned to throw away anyway. My sister put 2 plastic bags on her sneakers before placing the coveralls on and that helped preserve her sneakers. No odor was transferred...and you can not blame the cats.....my sister never picked up their mess and they do not want to be in that apt either. They were running around happy in their new cleared, clean space.

- Exactly What I Needed Review by ItsWildBill
I ordered four of these suits because I'm using chemical sprays to fight a fungal infection on some of my trees. The suit fits fine, had plenty of room, and was comfortable enough for the time I had it on. And it's easy to just take it off and toss it once I'm through with spraying.

- DuPont Tyvek HazMat Suit Review by Chuck
Got XL, and it fit well and I'm 6' tall about 190 pounds fit. Put rolled insulation in my attic and came away with no itching. Not bad for under $6.00. Like others, I was impressed with the great price, fast shipping (and I selected snail mail).

- DuPont Tyvek HazMat Suit Review by IrishEyes777
We had to have our elderly auntie cared for and her caretakers wore these suits to protect her as well as themselves from germs. They worked out great, and at the super low price offered for multiple suits, we felt secure in the fact that all involved would be safely equipped. The built-in shoes protected the white carpet and the parquet floor so that was a plus. The hood was not so much in use, but we could see that many industries and jobs could use the entire suit with ease.
The full front zipper makes ingress and egress very easy. Great product with a great price.

- good to keep on hand Review by DLS of KY
I was looking for something to protect me as I bellie crawled around it a tight crawl space. I got the hazmat suit, respirator and goggles and felt like I was completely isolated from the dirt, mouse poo, spiders and degrading insulation. After about an hour of worming my way through the nasty mess, I came out, blew the debris off the suit and came out of it. I was pleased to see the suit was still in good shape. I plan to always keep some of these suits on hand for really yuckie jobs.

- SUPERB PROTECTION !!!!!! Review by nighthawk
I bought these for protection during weed control operations on gravel roads....mixing concentrate and possible overspray is always a concern, I was able to do my job quickly and efficiently without too much concern knowing I had enough PPE to protect myself from the chronic effects of long term exposure that could result if I had not bought this product from you ,,,,thanks again,

- great product Review by bigd
I actually bought these coveralls as a prop space suit for a movie I'm making. It will take very little to,make them look like Apollo space suits. A really great bargin as the cheapest apollo replica I could find was $1600! Mine will be less than $50!

- Great Price Review by BB
Wonderful product, great price. I get a larger size than I usually wear, to allow for movement without tearing out at the crotch and for extra length in the arms. Cooler than other suits that provide this level of protection.

- Quality Review by Sheepblood
Great for getting in my unsealed crawl space. Saves me from getting all covered in dirt and who knows what else. (Mouse urine, poo, bugs...)
(Posted on 2/25/2014)
- Bug Off Review by Rich
Excellent outfit. Our yard is loaded with mosquitoes and other nasty pesky bugs that aalways go after my wife. Ordered these for her and she can stay out in the yard and garden all day without getting bit. Works better than any repellent we ever tried. It's also great for crawling under the house where the spiders live when routine maintainance is required. Will definately order again. Quality and price were much better than I expected.

- Exactly what I needed Review by Joshua the Astrophysicist
Used it in conjunction with a gas mask to look ridiculous for a physics final, but have subsequently used it for painting, sliding down wet grassy hills, and protecting myself from diet coke and mentos. This 'disposable' suit has taken a beating marvelously.
Looks good, Loved the Hood, Comfortable, Durable, Easy to use
Bottom of feet ripped, Footies too big

- I would purchase this product again. Review by RJ
This product is great and reasonably priced! What I like most of all, as a consumer, you don't have to order these coveralls in huge quantities that you don't need. These are nice to have on hand for dirty jobs around the house, particularly cleaning an unfinished basement.
Comfortable, Durable

- First rate for poison ivy/oak removal Review by PJS
For working in stands of poison ivy or poison oak, these are ideal. I tuck the booties into high boots, because I'm in undergrowth with rocks and sharp sticks.
Secure overall coverage, with one exception.
The sleeves are too short, so I have to use an extra layer of protection between them and over-the-wrist neoprene gloves.

- Reasonably , Disposable, Durable Review by SafeUser
"This was my first hazmat suit which protected me well against dangerous ingredients in anti-fouling paint. Consult this chart (http://www.pksafety.com/tyvekcoveralls.html or http://www2.dupont.com/Personal_Protection/en_HK/products/sizecharts.html) if you are buying for the first time.
P.S. Thank you PKSafety for a wonderful customer service."
"Disposable suit but if you are careful it can last you a couple of days.
Reasonably priced ($5.55 as of 6/30/2011)."
The sleeves for size XL could be a little bit longer.

- Works great! Review by Lara
It's thin, and you will sweat like crazy in a warm attic, but it works great and I am buying more to have around whenever I need to go into the attic. We also used it to paint the ceilings in our entire house with a spray gun.

- Tyvek Hood/Boots Coveralls Review by Clarence Harmon
Great Item and inexpensive too!!!!!!!
Item was as advertised. Fit well and was inexpensive.
(Posted on 8/20/2013)
- Size Does Matter Review by Bill
I ordered an XL because previous reviewers had written that they ran a little small. The suits fit me fine and I had no problem fitting my shoes into the attached booties. Mine were a little large in the waist so I added a belt on the outside and that worked well. I was a little concerned about the fabric catching on something in the ankle area, but that was easy to fix with a piece of duct tape.
It gave me full body coverage while spray painting.
It lacked a drawstring to cinch the hood around my face.

- Felt safe with this Tyvek suit Review by Bill
Had to clean out a pretty nasty warehouse that had some lead dust and asbestos. With my respirator and gloves and goggles and this tyvek suit, if felt pretty safe. Worked all day, and the suit was filthy at the end, but didn't have any rips. Thought it was real good for the money.
Kept the bad stuff on the outside
Hot, but not as bad as some other protection suits I've tried.

- Worked well Review by AWD
Good pricing and it fit our needs. I ordered directly from the sizing chart for my dad and I and they both fit. This may be obvious to others, but the suit is all one piece, which I like. I thought that the boot covers were separate, I guess due to the different color, so I was glad to see them attached.

- Works great Review by Dave
At a price like this, you can stay clean, and for around the house dirty jobs as well, do the gig and then toss 'em!
Great price.
Sleeves were too short for my size, but then again, as a kid I used to "hang around" all the time.

I love these suits and wear them as coveralls in the garden, cleaning the garage, really anything messy. It's nice to not have to change and wash an extra set of clothes for dirty work. The suit is durable and breathable. The attached shoe covers make this suit better than the other similar ones; I live in an area with high concentrations of deer ticks and it's good knowing that they cannot crawl up my pants leg. The attached hood comes in handy so my hair does not get full of dirt and dust.
attached shoe covers and hood
the elastic at the cuffs and hood is too loose; it would be better if tighter.

- Great Protection Review by Doug
I purchased several of these suits to wear while working on plaster ceiling repairs at my parents 102 year old home. The suit did a fine job getting the dist off my body/head. The disposable suits are built tough enough to get several wears out of them. The only negative (which I expected) was the heat build up while wearing the suit. I only used it for about 2 to 3 hour intervals and my light-weight clothes underneath were saturated so make sure you drink plenty of water/gatoraid when working in these.
Total body protection. Built in boot covers and hood
Body heat build-up

- Coverage is good if you do not squat Review by Kim
These suits work well and are fairly sturdy if you don't do anything that stresses the crotch area. We upsized so my husband would have plenty of room, but after he bent and squatted a couple of times, the suit looked like a pair of those old-fashioned long underwear with the flap in the back. Otherwise, he said the suit is comfortable and easy to wear.
It's generally made well and comfortable for a thing of its kind.
crotch needs some type of reinforcement.

Very good product. I wished they have feet in them, but that was my bad. I use them for beekeeping. Very good value.
Almost everything.. Lightweight yet strong and reusable.

- Good Hazard suit Review by N.
My husband needed to wear a hazard suit because of his sensitivity and allegy to the work he was attempting. Although his height and weight measurements needed 2X, I took the recommendations of the website and bought 3X. The suits fits well around his body and is long enough for his arms, but it is too long in his legs, and it needs a belt to hold it up. The suit got torn in its inner thighs. I will buy again, but I will buy 2X.
Good quality, good overall fit
Too long in legs.

- Asbestos Suit Review by Kaity
My recommendation for a 5'9"- 5'11" man get the Large. We thought a medium would work but it was just too snug to bend over and the material isn't made for heavy duty stretching.
The cost, and that it covered your shoes with out being separate
Not durable enough get it a size or two bigger than needed.

- Great product Review by Paul McNeilly
I was very pleased with this item. I'm a big buy & I was worried it wouldn't be big enough, but there was plenty of room. I was very surprised at the level of quality (very high). Great price too.
Good quality
Good sizing
Manufacturers sicker on front.
Couldn't remove without damaging the garment.

- Light weight but strong Review by Ed
I have been using these coveralls in my sandblasting business for years. They work well to keep dust out and off of my clothes. Even though they are light weight, they stand up extremely well.
Light weight and tough materials.
Occasionally the zipper fails after repeated uses.

- Awesome tick protection Review by Megaman
I wear these when weed whacking and working in tall grass to make sure I don't catch any tick-borne diseases. These are also really great for working under crawlspaces. I can usually get several uses out of each suit as long as I'm somewhat careful of it.

- Just what you need! Review by Adam
This most recent purchase was to build "space suits" for some teens on a parade float, which they worked well for. I have also used these for demolition of plaster, removing old insulation and installing new insulation. These suits work great for everything mentioned. So much easier to just throw these away than trying to get all the fiberglass out of your clothes and keep it off everything it shouldn't be on. Do purchase 1 size larger than you normally wear, they do seem to run small. I normally wear an XL shirt, but an XL will rip at the first bending over to pick things up. Get 1 size larger and you will be good! PK has the best prices on these, even after paying shipping. Don't waste your time looking elsewhere.

- Fit works Review by Paula Farrell
The fit is right on, with plenty of room for regular clothes underneath. Slender, medium height people can probably size down. I wear 12 women's and I could have worn a small. I thought the shoe covers would have had elastic to go around your shoes, instead of like footie pj's. What I hated was the DuPont decal that ripped the suit when I tried to get it off. This was to be a Halloween costume and I didn't want that decal on there. Overall, good value for the price.
Easy to get on and fit.
The decal and footies attached.

- hazmat suit Review by bob
I was looking for a overall that would protect me from fleas at an infested house. I inquired online and PK was the first site in the list. Showed good pic of what I was wanting. Ordered then and there, shipped immediately had it at my work in a very short period. Absolutely no hassle! To top it off they burned everyone in price.
Excellent fit over boots and one micron filtering to keep out nasties.

- Tyvek suit for all seasons Review by Andy Werback
Excellent product - we use it for working in brush and clearing out poison oak, along with long length rose; gardening gloves to protect the hands and wrists. Just carefully strip it off when done. Can be reused if you're careful. A great buy. And PK Safety has excellent delivery.
Cheap, easy, reusable, has a hood for some head protection

I bought 10 of these for insulation removal. I'm 6'4" and weigh 250 lb, 53" chest, 36" waist, size 15 feet. I ordered size 4x after using the 3x. The 3x fit well enough, but the 4x was far more comfortable.

- Good fit, super fast shipping Review by Tany
I purchased size small Tyvek suits. I'm female, 5' 5" 127 lbs, and this suit fit well with plenty of room for bending over, kneeling, squatting, or crawling without inhibiting free movement. Sometimes the boot would slip off my shoe, which would then be stepping on the ankle portion of the suit, so I had to make adjustments. But, it was so useful for accessing the basement crawl space and cutting through grout, which produces a whole lot of super fine dust. I did manage to rip holes into my suit, but I abused it quite a lot with the crawling and snagged myself on several nails. SHIPPING WAS INCREDIBLY FAST for me, but I live in SoCal and PK Safety is located in NorCal. I'll definitely be back to order more items as I need them. Great prices, great shipping. Excellent transaction.
Roomy, easy on/off, hood and boots attached, great dust and dirt protection.
Shoe slipped from Tyvek boot at times and needed to make adjustments

- Bed Bug Protection Review by Harlan
As a physician going to boarding homes infested with bed bugs to treat patients there, I chose to wear a Tyvek Hazmat suit instead of buying rubber boots, taping them around my pants legs and spraying bug spray all over my body. It was much simpler to slip on an inexpensive Tyvek suit and take it off and throw it away before getting back in my vehicle. Bringing bed bugs home can cost thousands of dollars - the Tyvek suit only cost about $6...
Cheap, easy to use.

- Did the job Review by Charlene
I used this when scraping the acoustic ceiling in my home. It fit comfortably. I am a 5'4"; woman 120 lbs. and size small worked great with plenty of room to move around.
Elastic on the hood opening too snug fit around face
Zip front for ease of entry and getting suit off
Comes with booties to cover shoes
Plenty of room in suit to move around comfortably"
Only complaint is that the suit is a bit thin. The boots are quite a bit larger than my feet, and I accidentally placed my ladder on the extra part of the fabric on the front of my feet and the suit ripped.

(Posted on 8/19/2013)
- Great for the price Review by Cynthia
We got these to clear out brush from a recently purchased lake house where there were ticks everywhere, and 1 family member had already gotten Lyme disease. The foot portion is attached which is great for the tick barrier, but I guess it's hard to equate shoe size to jumpsuit size, so those didn't fit exactly right- ditto with the length of the legs. We fixed this with just some duct tape- cinch at your ankles, or if you wear a size 15 shoe, split the toe, and then duct tape the new opening to the tip of your shoe. This method wouldn't work if you're buying them for a chemical barrier- obviously!
won't fit most people as form fittingly perfectly as the picture implies

- They are really well made suits Review by whisperist
I ordered these Tyvek suits to use during mold remediation in a home I purchased. They worked beautifully and kept me dry and mold-free. The price is really great too. I highly recommend these.
They were easy to put on and remove. There's a lot of give in the cut of the suit that allows you to move freely.
The feet weren't waterproof

0voteA: The suit is meant to be disposable and spun with polyethylene material which is essentially spun plastic. We don't have an exact answer, but usually not recommended to apply heat to plastic since it'll most likely melt. However, you could purchase one to try out first.
0voteA: Unfortunately this suit isn't suitable for protection from Poison Ivy. It's not a liquid barrier so the oils will soak through. The best suit for the job will be the DUPONT TYCHEM BR128T
0voteA: These suits are susceptible to tearing if sized too small. It's best to get a size larger than you expect to need. Once the suit is on you can use duct tape around the ankles and wrists if the extremities are too long.
0voteA: The DuPont size chart shown on the product page really is the best guidance we have. Wearing Tyvek garments is different than a shirt or other standard clothing. The material has essentially no stretch or give. This can put stress on the sewn seams of the coverall, resulting in a tear if not large enough. Going up a size, as you suggest in your question, is really the best way to go. With additional clothing underneath, you might give consideration to going up 2 sizes!
0voteA: The DuPont TY122S is packaged in a case of 25 suits. I will be referring to the bulk packaging, rather than the individually wrapped version. Sizes medium, large and x-large were all in a case that measures 16L x 10H x 9W inches. Larger sizes just get a little taller.
0voteA: The 1414 Tyvek coveralls have an attached shoe cover. They are not separate from the shoe. If you are looking for a coverall without the shoe covering, try the Tyvek 1428 coveralls. Shoe coverings separate from the coveralls can be special-ordered from customer service.
0voteA: These suits are designed to be disposable, but they can be reused if used lightly. Typically even if they are used lightly, you'll only get a few uses.
0voteA: Here is a list of hazards Tyvek protects against. Sewage is definitely on the list. This list should provide all the information you need.

text: Hi, Several community members have contributed a lot to our joint effort, MeeGo Summit FI. I can't name them all, but to name a few: matrixx, Jarrrgh, sandst1, Ans5i, smoinen, cybette, ninnnu, timoph and jukka (sorry for not listing all, but your efforts are highly valuable). The level of commitment is great. Nevertheless, we seem to lack people involved in Summit pages and portal development. This is partly because Summit pages have been developed by Heikki (paid staff in Hermia) and portal development hasn't even started yet. This will - or need to - change now. From this moment onwards, Heikki will do just bug fixing in the Summit pages and his role in portal development in close to non-existing. Therefore we need a few web developers (Drupal platform) to continue Summit pages development (in small scale) and to begin portal development. If such commitment is not found, we will not have portal. This is not meant as extortion, but as a statement of the situation. Again, I'm asking a lot from the community, but there is no alternative. We need to take responsibility of the web development to gain indepedence from Hermia and meetup.com. A few of us have started to define what the portal could be: http://wiki.meego.com/Local_MeeGo_Networks/MeeGo_Network_Finland/Meeting_Agenda_2011_02_06#Community_Portal . Even though some kind of initial requirement document has been started, it is just a suggestion. What I would like to see, is that this community defines what our portal includes and how it works. This requires that more members get involved both in defining the initial structure and in the implementation. We can start the discussion on this mailing list and continue it in more appropriate forum later. To get things started, idea is to create initial portal which includes only two items: - Basic info about MNFI and - forum for discussions. (requirements discussion could take place here) The above can be done in one day. Heikki has offered to do that. Community side: in the portal related development, we currently have ninnnu, who is responsible/maintainer of our server. We can't expect her to implement the portal alone, do we? -- --------------- Community Manager (MNFI, Meego Network Finland) Organizer (TMN, Tampere Meego Network) Email: jarkko dot moilanen at meegonetwork dot fi Location: Tampere, Finland More info: http://meegonetwork.fi Discussions: irc.freenode.net#meego-fi http://meego.ajatukseni.net/

They are a mischievous bunch, students. They were among the first cross country athletes, in the era when it was known as Hares and Hounds, having been part of the exercise programme in British public schools.
Hares laid paper trails for hounds to follow. Sometimes they prepared false trails which would peter out, and it was not unknown for them to lightly wrap the paper round a few stones. When thrown into boggy ground or a marsh, it would sink, leaving the paper on the surface, invitingly demanding to be followed. The hares would continue laying the trail beyond the bog. Coloured paper would be used when there was snow on the ground. Mischievous hares would gleefully enjoy the impromptu comedy as the hounds followed the trail, often ploughing up to their waists into the mud.
That's how it was in the early days of cross-country in Edinburgh, where the 36th IAAF World Cross Country Championships will be contested on Sunday 30 March in the shadow of Holyrood Palace, Queen Elizabeth's residence in Scotland's capital.
Murder most royal and Body-snatching
The athletics club at the city's university is still known as the Hares and Hounds, as are many other student clubs in the UK. University records demonstrate cross-country was staged in the vast royal Holyrood Park which is dominated by the towering extinct volcano, Arthurs Seat, 15 years before Scotland's inaugural national cross-country championships were staged in 1886.
Robert Louis Stevenson, the poet and author, was born and raised in the city, and in the Edinburgh University magazine of 1871 he lamented: "No more does the merry medical student run eagerly in the clear wintry morning up the rugged sides of Arthurs Seat."
This was long before Stevenson penned such classic novels as Kidnapped, Treasure Island, and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. This is a city steeped in history. Peel back the sophistication of the Athens of the North, and there is a dark side.
Darnley, lover of Mary Queen of Scots, was murdered close to Sunday's course, and these "merry medical students" could be a sinister bunch. Their craving for bodies for anatomy lessons led to the infamous body-snatchers, Burke and Hare, plying their trade in Edinburgh, with a sideline as serial killers, while cross country was taking its fledgling steps.
Training in the 19th century was hazardous for students, as Scottish athletics historian Colin Shields recounts in his admirable Scottish centenary history of the sport: "Whatever the Weather." On their first session in February of that year, they were "attacked by quarrymen and a large black dog, and accosted by gardeners."
At least their bodies remained intact.
The infamous Burke was hanged, at the Tolbooth between Sunday's course for the world event and the city centre, and with a fine sense of poetic justice his body followed those of his victims. His skeleton is in the university medical school's anatomy library, and a book bound in his skin reposes at the Royal College of Surgeons.
The killings fueled Stevenson's imagination, and were local gossip of the day as the "Six-foot Club" organised a one-mile steeplechase on the outskirts of Edinburgh in 1828, the year Burke was hanged. The name of the club reflected the height it was felt members needed to be to hurdle farm gates and fences.
Scottish XC champs first held 122-years-ago
In Lanarkshire the "Red-hose" (red stockings) cross-country race, had begun more than 20 years earlier. The county in the West of Scotland has a long and proud sports tradition. King William the Lion of Scotland presented the Lanark Silver Bell for a horse race there in the twelfth century. It's Britain's oldest sports trophy, and the race course on which it was staged (the Silver Bell is still contested) was where the very first Scottish cross country championship was held, 122 years ago this week. The 10-mile (16,000 metres) race, over heavy grassland, was won by a stonemason.
Also in Lanarkshire, the very first cross-country international was staged in 1903. It was held on Hamilton racecourse, and the adjacent grounds of the palace of the Duke of Hamilton. It was contested by Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales, and was won by England's Alf Shrubb. France entered in 1907, and it was from these beginnings that the IAAF event first emerged in 1973.
World XC returns to Scotland
However this is the twelfth time the international championship has been held in Scotland, but only the second in the IAAF era. This is the 30th anniversary of the last IAAF World Cross in Scotland (in Glasgow) where Ireland's John Treacy won. It is returning to Edinburgh 96 years to the day since Frenchman Jean Bouin won there.
Bouin was the first non-English winner of the championships, and first to win three in succession (1911-'13). He and the Finn, Johannes Kolehmainen, were respectively Olympic 5000m silver and gold medallists in Stockholm, first time the distance had been run under 15 minutes. The Frenchman also took the World 6-mile and 10,000m records from Shrubb. Sadly, the sport's first great multiple international champion was killed in World War I.
The first cross country handicap ever staged in Scotland, was in December 1885, over four miles from the Sheepshead tavern in Duddingston. It lies on the banks of one of three lochs within the royal park.
Ethiopian legend Kenenisa Bekele has already won three times over Sunday's course, for it has hosted the Great Edinburgh International in recent years, so the course is tried and tested. It includes Haggis Knowe (or Haggis Hill, so named because it's shaped like the traditional Scottish dish) which also featured in the 2003 European Cross Country Championship and World Mountain Running Trophy in 1995.
But this remains a sport for everyone. A 'Welcome the World' 5km race round the park is open to everyone. Afterwards they can watch the toughest race on earth for free.

My ranking is dropping like crazy and I have no idea why. My ranking went from 340,000 to 2,166,236 within just a month in a half. And it's like the more visitors I get, the more my ranking drops. What's going on?
The only huge change I can remember making before this happened was adding some codes to my .htaccess file about two months ago.
Install alexa toolbar on your browser.. that would solve your problem..
not looking at the htaccess code, I leave that for others.
you need to understand that Alexa doesn't know your real traffic, it only guestimates based on people who have their toolbar installed. I highly doubt many of your users will have that toolbar installed, the demographic is highly biased towards web professionals and you're probably the only person who's browsing your site regularly and got one.
Jumps like this are not uncommon if you start browsing your own site less frequently and/or no new regular users with a toolbar arrive on your site - nobody really knows how Alexa actually calculates the traffic.
To sum up, don't sweat over it until you're at least in the top 100,000 (you can start bragging when you're top 10,000), and nobody really cares.
Here's my .htaccess code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
#uploaded files
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule . - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
<IfModule mod_security.c>
<Files async-upload.php>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
<Files 403.shtml>
order allow,deny
allow from all
It's weird. I worked hard on my site and everytime I updated it, it went higher and higher in the ranks. Now all of a sudden that I'm getting even more traffic, it drops in the ranks as opposed to rising in the ranks. I also looked at my competitors and although they've dropped a hundred points or so, their drops weren't as dramatic as mine.
That's ok Smith. Just like what they have said, it's an inaccurate tool. What was the code you added? But, as I can see, that code wont hurt much your ranking. Maybe, all you need to do is build more quality links.
Alexa is pretty useless and inaccurate for any site not in the top 10,000.
I wouldn't worry about it, Alexa is a very skewed indicator.
What did you add to your .htaccess?

This is about the passage of time.
Here in Arizona, we live in a dream world created by our own imagination.
We are, of necessity, citizens of a different country. The television networks have decreed that the real world consists of New York City and Washington, D.C. Unless they subscribe to cable television, readers in the East don't get the Arizona State football scores from Saturday night until Monday morning.
And so we cling here, waiting anxiously for things to change. For us, the next great show trial will solve all our problems and it is always just moments away.
I came to Arizona ten years ago when it wasn't easily discernible that Bob Corbin was talking out of the side of his mouth when he promised to seek out the killers of Don Bolles.
The fact that I remember the Bolles case makes me an Arizona native. Corbin is still attorney general, but he has become a strangely compliant one. Now when you write Bolles' name, you are required to add this ominous and somehow distracting footnote: Bolles was an Arizona Republic investigative reporter who was murdered by a group of men paid to kill him with a car bomb in broad daylight.
That plainly indicates that Bolles is in our minds about as much as any deceased Beirut politician. He's a shadowy figure who used to play tennis with Burton Barr. He drove a secondhand Datsun in which he met his death.
Do you, by any chance, remember when Datsun ran television commercials promising to plant a tree for every car purchased in America? This is not meant to be a relevant remark.
Here in Arizona, everything changes. And yet nothing really changes. Land fraud and killings make far more stimulating reading than promises of prosperity through acquisition of the 1993 Super Bowl. This is a state that deserves M. Scott Peck and even plump Senator Tony West.
The slick Ned Warren, who died in prison, preceded Charles Keating, the great and close friend of Mother Teresa. Wyatt Earp and Winnie Ruth Judd were as well-known and respected in their day as John Harvey Adamson.
Now the estimable Keating is at center stage. Senator Dennis DeConcini and his aides, Ron Ober and Earl Katz, are closely linked with him.
But don't expect to live long enough to see this matter resolved.
Above all, if you did business with Keating, don't expect your money back really soon. You might recover more quickly by sinking huge portions of your weekly pay into the Arizona lottery.
I'm reminded of one of the judges who ruled on Maya Ying Lan's Vietnam War Memorial. She was a Yale graduate who had earned a B grade for the design in her architectural class. The professor who graded her work was one of 14,241 entrants to the memorial contest but he didn't make the finals.
"Washington is full of white memorials rising," the judge wrote condescendingly. "This is a dark memorial receding." That is just the kind of intellectual talk that infuriates people who, instead of going to Harvard and Yale, went to Saigon or Khe Sanh and got badly shot up for their trouble.
I went to Washington to see the memorial a few weeks before its dedication.
I stood for an hour staring at the names on the long wall of polished black granite that is anchored below the earth to a depth of ten feet. A man standing next to me said something that has ever since seemed strangely applicable to Arizona.
"Vietnam was bad for us because we never knew what we wanted to do there. So how can we know what we want to do here now?" Do we know even now in Arizona what we really want to do?
Why must we build the Thomas Road overpass on the Squaw Peak Parkway as an afterthought? Will our suspicions about the dangers of Palo Verde ever dissipate? Is Terry Goddard gay? Does it make a difference? Has there ever been a candidate for mayor who resembled Ebenezer Scrooge more than Burt Kruglick does?
I often make the mistake of thinking the biggest story of the day is the most readable one. By the time I get to it, it's almost always old news.
So I went to Tucson for John Harvey Adamson's second trial in the Bolles murder. The jury, of course, gave him the death penalty. But there was an incredible debate that delayed the verdict.
Before he died, Bolles had uttered Adamson's name to witnesses. One juror was actually convinced by this that Bolles had been trying to "frame" Adamson.
Years later, I visited Adamson in the prison at Florence where he still sits on death row.
Prison had worked a miracle on his appearance. Porcine and strangely ominous at the trial, Adamson had become the picture of health. With his chronic alcoholism arrested by incarceration, Adamson looked like an advertisement for NutraSweet(R). He lost sixty pounds. He worked in the prison library and become a voracious reader. The quality of his life had actually improved.
"Do you think about the death penalty?" I asked.
Adamson answered with a question.
"If you had cancer, would you think about it?" Adamson told me something that has stuck with me.
"In here," he said, "I live with murderers but I know them. When you live on the outside, you never know who they are." In Arizona, the persistent entrepreneurs bounce back from misfortune. When I first came to Arizona, Rudy Miller ran a lucrative trade school called Arizona Tech.
Miller was a tireless self-promoter. His face was seemingly on half the billboards in town. He was as well known as J. Danforth Quayle. Miller kept telling everyone of his visits to the home of George Bush. He predicted he was going to be the next Karl Eller.
"Are you a millionaire?" Miller was asked.
"Let's say multimillion," he answered.
One night, Miller fell in with a group of professional card players in a place then called Applegate's, not far from Arizona Tech. The game was liar's poker.
Miller lost heavily and then put up a beef. There was a scuffle. Miller was tossed out. In the process, Miller lost one of his shoes.
He went back to Arizona Tech and got a .45-caliber pistol. Miller headed back to Applegate's and barged through the door waving the gun. An off-duty cop tackled him and Miller was arrested.
The story played big. Miller's troubles multiplied when his school, heavily dependent upon government-sponsored loans for tuition, went down.
Miller disappeared from view for a while. Now, he's popped up again. This time, he's bigger than ever. He's president of a commuter airline and is listed as the owner of his own skybox for the Phoenix Cardinals games.
Everything is connected.
A young man named Mitch Singer married one of the partners of Applegate's. He then opened his own restaurant called B.B. Singer's in Scottsdale. In quick succession, Singer went big-time, opening two more restaurants along Central Avenue.
There was always a suspicion that people who did cocaine were somehow involved. Stan Akers Jr., the son of the legislative powerhouse, was arrested there but was able to cop a plea.
Singer's brother-in-law, Steve Steinberg, stabbed Singer's sister to death. Some thought he was under the influence of cocaine. But no one ever knew for sure because he was found innocent of murder because of temporary insanity.
Now, Singer and Akers are up to their ears in the case of the cocaine-dealing dentist in Paradise Valley.
For a solid month, Michael Lacey, New Times executive editor, has written frightening stories about the conduct of the Department of Public Safety in the Leon Woodward case.
The stories point out that our DPS under Ralph Milstead exhibited the same political-police-force tendencies as the Gestapo under Heinrich Himmler. No one who's been around Arizona very long takes the Woodward case as an isolated incident. There were the ruthless tactics employed during Evan Mecham's impeachment trial. There was the mysterious arrest of Ed Finklestein, who was running against DeConcini and making serious charges about DeConcini's land deals.
And there were all those heavy-handed storm-trooper tactics employed by the DPS during the Phelps Dodge copper strike in Morenci.
The DPS officers have always been friends of the rich and the entrenched. They know how to pick their targets. Most people don't like Woodward. They didn't like Mecham. They abhorred the strikers, largely Mexicans who didn't know their place.
One day I sat down and talked with Ray Isner of United Steelworkers of America.
"People just don't want to believe the oppressive role the Department of Public Safety played in the strike," he said.
"One night, the strikers conducted a march. The DPS started making arrests. They took everyone to a place called the Morenci Club. There were eighteen of them. They kept these men, who had merely been engaged in a march, handcuffed for fourteen hours. All that time, they were confined to a tiny cloakroom.
"They didn't even remove their handcuffs to let them go to the bathroom.
"At one point, the DPS officers carted the strikers down to a baseball field. They hosed them down and then brought them back to an air-conditioned room without giving them a chance to dry off.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.

"They kept helicopters going all through that night.
"DPS snipers were poised on the side of the hills pointing their weapons down toward Clifton where the strikers lived. Can't people see that the DPS is operated like it was Phelps Dodge's private army?" Insensitivity is rampant. Nothing changes. The powerful are never even embarrassed.
This is why they are now willing to create a Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. It will be good for business. It may bring us the Super Bowl.
How fitting. And how totally contemptible.

Solange Knowles had her son Daniel in 2004 when she was 18, and knows all about the challenges that come with being a teen mother. Knowles, 21, recently talked to Us Weekly about how she focused on raising her son, and also had some words of wisdom for pregnant 17-year old Jamie Lynn Spears.
"I'm sure a lot of people perceived that I was gonna be a young, irresponsible mom, [but] I think that there are some moms who are 35 who are just as irresponsible." To focus on raising her son, Knowles said she "moved to the country for a year" without any nannies or babysitters."My parents lived on a whole opposite part of the world," she said. "My son has been my focus ever since the day he was born. He's been the light of my life, the inspiration behind everything."
What kind of advice did she give to Jamie Lynn?
"You just have to make the best decisions for you. You have to decide what's best for you. Who are we to say what's right and wrong for a person?"

During Portland's Harvest on the Harbor festival, chefs from four of the city's best restaurants will cook up original recipes using fish and shellfish that thrive in the Atlantic.
While Maine has long been revered for its fresh, tasty lobster, local fishermen and chefs are vying for a new set of seafood to bask in the culinary spotlight.
Over the past year, the Gulf of Maine Research Institute has been working closely with some of the region's top fishermen and chefs to identify fish and shellfish species that thrive in the Atlantic waters but have been underutilized in northeastern US cuisine. By creating demand for these sustainable species, like northern shrimp, Atlantic mackerel, whiting, Atlantic pollock and red fish, fishermen hope to preserve the seafood that has historically been overfished, such as flounder, cod and halibut.
During Portland's annual Harvest on the Harbor, 20 October through 22 October, seafood chefs from four of the city's best restaurants will aim to show the world just how tasty these sustainable species can be in the Ultimate Seafood Splash, a series of recipe demonstrations using the new catches. For example, Chef Mitchell Kaldrovich from Sea Glass will tackle whiting by pan-searing the fish, (which is less flaky than cod so it develops a nicer crust when seared) and serving it alongside local cauliflower and citrus quinoa. All of the original recipes will also be paired with wine.
In addition to the Ultimate Seafood Splash, the food-focused festival will also feature trolley sampling tours, a marketplace of Maine-made eats and drinks, and competitions for the best Maine lobster chef and the best farm to table chef.
If you can't make it to the harvest, each of the four Ultimate Seafood Splash chefs will continue to highlight culinary spins on the new seafood at their restaurants. Here's what each does best:
- Fore Street: this early farm-to-table venture uses wood fires to bring out the best in local flavours.
- Havana South: locally sourced meat and seafood marries well with Latin-inspired spices and styles.
- The Salt Exchange: rotating local art provides a conversation piece while guests nibble on seasonal small plates.
- Sea Glass: ocean views and upscale presentation enhance the simple ingredient-focused menu.

San Francisco Police are asking for the public's help in identifying a suspect on a brutal robbery/aggravated assault.
On June 30, 2013 at around 1:50am, the victim was robbed by a group of suspects. One suspect kicked her so violently in the face that she was knocked unconscious.
The suspects were described as a group of approximately 5 black males and an adult black female. The group appeared to have been in their late teens or early twenties.
It is believed the suspects committed multiple robberies and assaults after the Pink Saturday event was over. It is also believed there may be other unreported robberies and assaults that were committed by the same suspects in the area of Market Street between Castro Street and Civic Center on the same date and around the same time.

By James Slater – According to Boxrec.com, veteran heavyweight name Frans Botha will face huge Italian southpaw Francesco Pianeta on Sept. 7th in Germany. The match-up was originally set for this past May, but 43-year-old Botha suffered an injury and had to pull out (leaving fellow veteran and former WBC heavyweight champ Oliver McCall to step in at short notice and lose a wide decision).
Now, coming off consecutive stoppage losses, to Michael Grant and Carlos Takam respectively, the South African with the 48-7-3(29) record will travel once again to Deutschland. 27-year-old Pianeta, unbeaten at 26-0-1(14) looks sure to bag himself his third win of the year. Some people feel, however, that the contender based in Germany is going backwards in terms of quality of opposition.
Wins over the likes of Matt Skelton, Mike Marrone and Scott Gammer came in European Union title fights, yet now Pianeta is facing recognisable names who are way, way, way past their best. At least the 6'5" Italian is keeping busy. After he pounds out a win over Botha – for my money either a clear points win or maybe a late-rounds stoppage victory – Pianeta will hopefully test himself against a legitimate top-10 guy.
As for Botha, he should have retired a long time ago, yet like so many ageing heavies, he insists on sticking around. Needless to say, it would be a big upset if Botha, who has been in with everyone from Michael Moorer to Axel Schulz to Wladimir Klitschko to Lennox Lewis, were to pull off a win next month.

Listed in: Other Domestic Policy, Opinions
Originally published on The Huffington Post
By Marc R. Stanley, Chairman of the National Jewish Democratic Council
Jewish voters in California have a number of reasons to go to the polls November 2 to re-elect Senator Barbara Boxer. Among these is her leadership in bolstering U.S. energy independence and creating new job growth in the clean-tech energy sector for Californians.
The American Jewish Committee has identified energy independence as a priority in promising our children a future free from foreign dependence upon imported oil. Polls show that job creation is the number one priority of California voters. Since her election to Congress in 1982, Senator Boxer has been among the foremost leaders in championing U.S. energy independence and the creation of high-paying jobs for Californians.
California is already the national leader in generating electricity through renewable energy, reducing green house gas emissions, and creating clean energy jobs. As the first woman and the first American Jew to chair the Senate Environmental and Public Works Committee, Senator Boxer introduced The Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act to cut carbon pollution, reduce our dependence upon imported fuels and stimulate the economy by creating millions of jobs in the clean energy sector. In a meeting with Los Angeles AJC leaders this past August, Senator Boxer was asked to continue to push for a strong energy policy and reaffirmed her commitment to do so.
Senator Boxer voted for the bi-partisan U.S. Israel Energy Cooperation Act, which, according to AJC Energy Independence Task Force Chairman Jack Halpern, "represents a crucial step for helping the United States and other industrialized nations reduce dependence on imported oil by working together with Israel's brilliant scientists and engineers to help devise alternative energy technologies."
As former chair of HP, Carly Fiorina oversaw the outsourcing of thousands of U.S. jobs overseas. Fiorina opposes AB 32, California's landmark law to slow greenhouse gas emissions, calling it a "job killer."
Fiorina is just wrong. In a study released this month, California-based Next 10 and Collaborative Economics Inc. found that manufacturing jobs in the state's green sector grew by 19 percent between 1995 and 2008. The increase came at the same time that overall manufacturing jobs in California tumbled 9 percent.
Fiorina's position aligns her with out of state oil interests spending millions in an attempt to undermine California's climate change law. But clean energy jobs represent the future of California's economy. Senator Boxer understands this, saying, "We know clean energy is the ticket to strong, stable economic growth—it's right here in front of us, in the ingenuity of our workers and the vision of our entrepreneurs. We must seize this opportunity, or others will move ahead."
Now is not a time to be complacent and let others steal what should be California's. On Election Day, Jewish voters will have a choice. They should vote for Barbara Boxer, who promises to help end our dependence upon foreign oil imports, make California more energy independent and unleash a new wave of clean-tech job growth to power California's economic recovery.

Verses with the word murderer in the Apocrypha (2 verses):
2 Maccabees 4:38
And being kindled with anger, forthwith he took away Andronicus his purple, and rent off his clothes, and leading him through the whole city unto that very place, where he had committed impiety against Onias, there slew he the cursed murderer. Thus the Lord rewarded him his punishment, as he had deserved.
2 Maccabees 9:28
Thus the murderer and blasphemer having suffered most grievously, as he entreated other men, so died he a miserable death in a strange country in the mountains.

CITY OF OURAY: Kersen resigns as council returns to RV discussions
By Sheridan Block
Two city council seats must now be filled, as council member Richard Kersen submitted his resignation to the city on Tuesday afternoon.
According to City Administrator Patrick Rondinelli, Kersen will be moving out of the community and will not be able to continue serving as a council member. Kersen told the Plaindealer on Wednesday that he and his family are moving to Montrose, putting him out of the city limits.
Kersen was elected to council in November 2011 and his term was set to expire in October 2015. He added that with former councilor John Ferguson's resignation last month, the timing of his leave "just made sense" so council would not have to go through the same process again in another month or so.
"My time on council has been really good and really challenging. It's been a great experience and I have nothing really negative to say. It was a challenge and something I really liked being involved with," he said.

LAND O'LAKES — Pasco County expects to get at least $8 million from the federal stimulus package for road improvements, but state officials have told county leaders they want all that money to be pledged toward the widening of the northern section of U.S. 41.
County Commission Chairman Jack Mariano said he talked with Don Skelton, who is the District 7 secretary for the Florida Department of Transportation, and learned that the state would be able to pay for the rest of the $33 million cost if Pasco committed all its take to the project.
Mariano said he'd be okay with that.
"It's our top priority," he said.
DOT officials confirmed the $8 million minimum allocation but not the proposal to widen U.S. 41.
"It's not been finalized yet," spokeswoman Kris Carson said.
Commissioner Pat Mulieri, whose district includes the highway, said she was "thrilled" that it could get widened but she hopes the county ends up with more than $8 million.
"They said counties that were economically depressed would get first priority," she said. "And we meet the criteria."
In December, the County Commission endorsed a $1.4 billion list of Pasco projects that could take a shot at federal stimulus money. Road work made up most of the list.
But Florida DOT officials and regional planners are setting priorities based on Florida receiving about $1.5 billion for road projects statewide.
Of that, $100 million could go to the Tampa Bay area. Pasco's slice would come from that money. To qualify for funding, projects should be completed within three years.
The top priority was widening U.S. 41 to four lanes between Tower Bridge Road and the future juncture with the Ridge Road extension.
U.S. 41, also known as Land O'Lakes Boulevard, is the main north-south route for local motorists in central Pasco. It provides a daily path for commuters to Tampa, students to high school and rock trucks to work sites. And it is the only way to and from home for the people in Connerton and other neighborhoods north of Ehren Cutoff.
It is six lanes wide from Tower Road south through Lutz. Northward, however, it's two lanes.
The 3-mile stretch has been on the state's tentative five-year work plan, but had been delayed until July 1, 2012.
"There's an awful lot of traffic that moves through Pasco County," said Stewart Gibbons, president of Connerton and chairman of the Pasco Economic Development Council. "And it presents a lot of congestion. Our residents have expressed concerns about it."
Gibbons said a wider highway would aid commuters but also make the area a more desirable location for businesses. A new hospital is set to open soon.
State Sen. Mike Fasano also said U.S. 41 would be a great project for the stimulus money, and he promised to help secure state money if needed.
"It's shovel ready, and the right of way has already been purchased," he said.

text: Henry Wiles Out at Lloyd Brothers Motorsports Larry Lawrence | September 4, 2013 Photography by Larry LawrenceIn a stunning development, with just two rounds remaining in the AMA Grand National season, series contender Henry Wiles has been released by the Lloyd Brothers Motorsports team.In a statement on his Facebook page Wiles said:"Earlier today, I was informed by Lloyd Brothers Racing that they have decided to go in a different direction and will no longer need my services. While I am disappointed, I understand their reasons. It has been an honor to race for them (twice) and help develop their Aprilia and Ducati dirt trackers. We have made great strides and I have learned a lot during the past 2 years. I also want to thank Brent Armbruster for all of the effort and long hours he spent on my GNC and 450 program this season. Winning Peoria for the 9th straight time is something we will always share. To my fans and sponsors, thank you for your continued support. We all know that when one door closes, others will open. I will have an announcement about the last 2 races of the 2013 season soon and will be working diligently to put together a winning team for 2014."Calls to team principal David Lloyd and Wiles have not yet been returned.What makes the departure of Wiles even more of a head scratcher is that he is still in the hunt for the 2013 AMA Grand National Championship title with just two rounds (the Santa Rosa Mile and the Pomona Half-Mile) remaining. Wiles is currently ranked fifth in the standings, 25 points out of the lead.It is known that Wiles was not happy when Lloyd Brothers picked up former champ Jake Johnson last month after Johnson left Zanotti Racing. Wiles stated that he felt the addition of Johnson would make things "chaotic" with the team.Wiles has finished ahead of Johnson in all four races since Johnson has come on board with Lloyd Brothers.Last month Wiles won the Peoria TT for a record ninth straight time, breaking the old mark of eight consecutive wins by Chris Carr. Wiles also earned podium finishes this season at Stockton and Colonial Downs.Larry Lawrence | Archives EditorIn addition to writing our Archives section on a weekly basis, Lawrence is another who is capable of covering any event we throw his way.
