After more research I'm leaning towards a chlorine solution. It looks like the overall preference is using a erosion dry pellet inline chlorinator if proper maintenance and good pellets are used. A few questions then:
What brand pellets are preferred?
What kids of maintenance/cleaning should be done and how often?
I do not want to remove all of the chlorine from the water. Do I still need a charcoal filter? Keep in mind I'm using a water softener too.

text: We hear all about the NCAA committee's "nitty gritty" report which is what guides the committe in selecting teams and comparing teams...I somehow found myself in possession of a copy of the report that was just used to select teams last weekend and it brings up even more questions about how some of the teams got into the tournament and how some were left out. Before, by using similar models, one could reasonably make a case about such-and-such team but we never knew if that aligned 100% with how the committee was evaluating the teams, based on the reports and facts and all they were using. With this report now, there is no hidden uncertainty. I know they have a hard job but looking at the precise, exact same facts and figures they used only makes me more puzzled about why some teams are in and not others.....There are a few teams that are inexplicable with how they were given the fate they were given. Very strange....Its time for a blind draw, let everyone in or just allow conference winners into the field so there are no complaints.Take the human element of the selection out of the system please. Because looking at this report makes it clear that everything just isnt adding up.

'My stories replay the soundtrack of my life' – The Undercover Soundtrack, Brendan Gisby
Posted by Roz Morris in Undercover Soundtrack on November 28, 2012
My guest this week had never realised his fiction was so closely tied to music, nor how much that meant it reflected the landmarks of his own life. Through significant songs he has peeled back the years to channel aspects of his family and upbringing, to flesh out the characters in his short stories and novels. He is McStorytellers founder Brendan Gisby and he's on the Red Blog sharing his Undercover Soundtrack

If you handle the security for a PHP-based website, pay very close attention to the security, and make sure you're using up-to-date versions of plug-ins. That's the message from Arbor Network, who reported that hackers were using PHP-based websites to launch distributed denial-of-service attacks against banks.
Linux-using PHP programmers will want to pay attention to the latest news item from Red Hat and Zend. The two companies the Linux provider and the maker of the popular PHP development and runtime environment are partnering to expand Red Hat's OpenShift Platform-as-a-Service offering to PHP.
This month saw major releases of two integrated development platforms for PHP. JetBrains unveiled PhpStorm 5.0, while Symfony released both Symfony 2.1.0 RC and Symfony 2.0.17.
Business Computer Design International (BCD) and Zend Technologies partnered to improve the usability of their PHP solutions for businesses using the IBM i operating system.
Looking for quality answers to some frequently asked PHP questions? Want to know what security precautions you should take or how best to program a secure login system? Look no further.
If you've ever been frustrated by PHP, even as you use it every day to create web applications, consider this: the language's creator himself admits that he didn't really set out to create a language. He had much more modest goals in mind.
PHP is becoming the language of the Cloud. That should surprise no one who's been paying attention, of course, but Zend actually has proof. Its Zend Developer Pulse study polled more than 3,000 PHP developers on their use of emerging technologies and trends in PHP development practices. The growth of PHP for applications hosted in the Cloud was just one of many interesting findings.
One of the users at the Dev Shed forums is searching for the best method to run scheduled jobs in PHP. A few people have chimed in, but we would like to hear your opinion.
In this programming tutorial you will learn how to use the PHP array function array_change_key_case to manipulate data stored in your arrays.
In this programming tutorial you will learn how to work with the PHP array_combine function, which allows you to combine arrays into a single array.
In this programming tutorial, you will learn how to work with the PHP array_chunk function.
In this second part of a two-part tutorial, you'll learn how to use closures in the development of an extendable template system. This system can be customized at will without struggling too much, thanks to the number of interfaces that it implements.
In this first part of a two-part tutorial, I develop a basic template system that can parse any type of closure assigned as a property of its view object(s).
In this conclusion to an eight-part article series on working with a computer's file and operating system with PHP, you'll learn about the functions used in combination with a PHP script to execute system-level programs. This article is excerpted from chapter 10 of the book Beginning PHP and PostgreSQL 8: From Novice to Professional, written by W. Jason Gilmore and Robert H. Treat (Apress; ISBN: 1590595475).
In this first part of a two-part tutorial, I use a somewhat contrived example to show why you should avoid coding static helper classes in PHP.

Are you ready for 3D Madness?
Following the footsteps of previous championships and whetting our appetites for the kickoff of ESPN's 3D channel, LG Electronics, CBS Sports and Cinedigm Digital Theaters have teamed up to bring us this year's NCAA Men's Final Four and championship games in 3D.
No, you can't watch it like that in the comforts of your own 3D home entertainment system, but you can check on Cinedigm's web site to see if one of the roughly 100 3D theaters is in your area.
There are no ticket prices listed yet (you can sign up to receive info when it's available), but we do know that the coverage will be on Saturday April 3, from roughly 3 to 11 p.m. for the Final Four, followed on Monday April 5 with the 9 p.m. tipoff of the title game, all from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
"The theater experience is changing dramatically," said Bud Mayo, chairman and CEO of Cinedigm. "The Men's Final Four is a signature event, with millions of fans clamoring to be among the few who get to see it in person. Cinedigm's experience, having brought the 2009 BCS Championship and the 2009 NBA All-Star Saturday Night events to theatres in live 3-D, has shown us that fans who attend will feel as though they have courtside seats. We're proud to work with our technology partner SENSIO and with our growing national network of top-quality theater to help bring fans one step closer to courtside."
CBS Sports and LG will be working with 3D expert Vince Pace, who was involved in the production of Avatar, for the basketball broadcasts. One thing missing will be the dulcet tones of Jim Nantz and Clark Kellogg, though, as it'll be fed with CBS College Sports Network announcers Dave Ryan and Steve Lappas—of course we'll be more tuned into the video than the audio.
Even more reason to keep up with the culmination of March Madness if you're office pool bracket has gone up in smoke or if another team like North Carolina starts stomping over its competition. It'll still look sweet.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.
High-tech perks are poised to lead new construction and remodeling projects for the next decade.

Alexandria, Va. May 7, 2013 - The Taxpayers Protection Alliance (TPA) has issued a report called "The Expensive Truth Behind Taxpayer-Funded Mail Order Pharmaceuticals." It offers a critical analysis of how federal prescription drug programs (such as in Medicare, Tricare, and Federal Employees Health Benefits Program) are susceptible to waste, fraud, and abuse because of the lack of transparency and oversight of mail order pharmacies and their owners—typically pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs). In response, the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) is drawing further attention to the report as it advocates for patient choice of pharmacy and PBM reform with policymakers and health plan sponsors.
"The mission of the Taxpayers Protection Alliance is to hold the government accountable when taxpayers who fund government programs are being ill-served, so mail order waste is a fitting area of focus. As the TPA report notes, unused or unneeded medication shipped from mail order warehouses is a prime source of taxpayer-funded waste that policymakers should address," said NCPA CEO B. Douglas Hoey, RPh, MBA.
Based on documented instances of mail order waste, questionable PBM business practices and the results of a survey it conducted of hundreds of community pharmacists, TPA delivers a strong case for PBM oversight and reform in its report. It noted:
"[W]e urge more oversight on behalf of the taxpayer-funded public health programs. Evidence points to serious concerns and potentially millions if not billions of dollars in waste created by these large middlemen."
Noting that "PBMs have been largely unregulated" and "have a direct conflict of interest" as both the administrators of drug plans and, in many instances, the owners of mail order pharmacies, TPA argued "the relationship between a PBM and the mail-order prescription companies is a simple one, but the damages this inflicts on taxpayers is complex" and that "taxpayers are the ones left on the hook to pay." Moreover, it said "PBMs greatly contribute to higher insurance costs for consumers."
"TPA supports legislation that would establish broader oversight of PBMs and perhaps contemplates a fiduciary duty to their health plan clients."
NCPA member pharmacists have documented scores of examples of individual patients bringing in for disposal as much as $30,000 worth of unused medication. The pictures and descriptions are available in an online narrative, "Waste Not, Want Not." The TPA report included a new survey of several hundred community pharmacists asking about their experiences with patients' mail order waste problems. TPA's results included the following examples:
"People bring or try to bring in drugs after patient dies and it is unbelievable the amount of unused drugs sent to them and a lot of children say parents tried to stop them from sending drugs, but just kept sending so they piled up."
"Medications came frozen, they come weeks late, they come wrong, or the Doctor has changed them and they will still send old script on auto fill. All these waste our time as well since we have to get them what they need so there is no interruption of care."
"We have had patients bring in thousands of dollars of medication that was sent to them that they had stopped taking and never ordered."
Hoey added, "Egregious instances of waste such as these mail order mishaps would be far less likely to occur if these patients received their medications from a local pharmacy, where they can have a face-to-face interaction with pharmacists. Moreover, another recently conducted analysis found that community pharmacies provided 90-day medication supplies at lower overall cost to Medicare and more effectively substituted generic drugs where appropriate compared to mail order. Once again, NCPA urges policymakers and plan sponsors to refrain from mandates or other inducements to steer patients to mail order. Instead, let patients choose a pharmacy that best meets their needs and force pharmacies to compete on serve, to the benefit of patients."
The TPA report concludes, "Given the significant and disconcerting shortcomings of the mail-order delivery programs, policy changes must be implemented to address the issues discussed in this report. For starters, PBMs must adhere to and provide commonsense forms of disclosure. Protecting patients and their ability to access the pharmacy of their choice is of great importance. Taxpayers, the ones left to pay for these bills, deserve transparency. One way to achieve this is by implementing and holding PBMs accountable to requirements that foster an open and complete flow of information."
The National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA®) represents the interests of America's community pharmacists, including the owners of more than 23,000 independent community pharmacies. Together they represent an $88.5 billion health care marketplace, dispense nearly 40% of all retail prescriptions, and employ more than 300,000 individuals, including over 62,000 pharmacists.

Remember Me

The start of a new year always gives me the urge to make changes around my house. I'm a redecorator at heart — my interior decor style has changed often over the years and though I may not always be financially able to change our furnishings and colors at will, the desire is there.
Oh, for a few thousand dollars to switch things up again! I can dream….
Getting back to reality, I wanted to share a great link with you that I found today. Martha Stewart's team has put together a visual list of 100 ways to get organized around your home. I usually shy away from that type of article, as the ideas are usually boring and regurgitated. These, however, are just plain fun. You'll find yourself saying, "I can do that!" or "That's a fun idea!" Or maybe you won't, but I sure was.
(I particularly liked the tea cup jewelry organizer — keep an eye out for it. As the owner of way too many tea cups, it looks like a fun and girly idea to try.)
The other tips are, for the most part, much more practical — but still fun. Enjoy!

Viewing Camera Data (Exif) in CS6 Bridge
Noc ahgnges to default settings applied in CS6 Bridge
Observed Results:
The new "Lens Specification Data" under the Camera Data (Exif) appears to be be correctly reporting the lens type but shows the lens as "f/0" which is incorrect
This appears to be the case with pictures taken with two different lenes both of which are reported as f/0
Further up in the same tab the "Lens" data is correctly reported for the lens type and maximum aperture.
Expected Result:
Wasd to see the maximum aperture of the lens reproted in addition to the lens type, which I would ahve expected to be the same data as reproted under the "Lens" information higher up in the same panel.
Which begs the question what is the difference between the "Lens" information and the "Lens Specification Data" meant to be ?
Observed these results with the following two lenses:
EF-S17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM
EF70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM
System Info:
Won't let me paste in :(
Hi Mseabroo,
Could you please let us know your camera model and what file format you are using? .CR2, .JPG, or .DNG ? did you edit those images via other applications than ACR & Bridge?
It would be better if you can send us an image for our testing. (lbaichao at adobe dot com)
Hi Baichao,
Thank you for your response.
The camera in questions is a Canon 7D (actullay I shoot with a pair of 7D's and the results are the same for both cameras), the files are both .CR2 and .JPG, with the same results being seen for both file formats. the images have not been edited in any other applications but viewed immediately after donwload to the PC from the memory card.
I have also viewed these and other older images in both the CS6 and CS5 versions of bridge for comparision purposes and see the same differences irrespective of how old the image is or if its been previously edited in CS5 for both .CR2 and .JPG files.
In addition I also don't see an indication of the subject distance displayed in CS6 bridge, although the option is selected and works as expected in CS5 bridge.
I will send you a seperate email with screen shots showing an example in both CS5 and CS6.
Regards Mark
Hi Mark,
We found that Lens Specification is new to Exif 2.3 specification, so most Cameras might not support that well, I checked that it seems even 5D MarkIII does not write the complete LensSpecification info into its .CR2 files, so that's the reason why "F0" shows for LensSpecification in Bridge Metadata Panel. This is not a bug.
For subject distance, we are still investigating the issue.
Best Regards,
Hi Baichao,
Thank you for keeping me informed of the progress of the investigations. The Lens specification behaviour now makes sense, may be worth including an explanation in the release notes or FAQ though.
Appreciate your engineers continuing to investigate the Subject distance information issue.
Regards Mark

The system is slow. The receiver takes about 5 seconds to power up before it will respond to commands. Switching between HDMI components can take up to 5 seconds (usually less, but sometimes this long) while the screen is blank but audio plays. Shifting between signals of different resolutions suffers a similar delay. Be careful if your cable box is configured to deliver whatever the station is broadcast at because if you change channels from a 1080i to a 720p source the simple channel change could cost you several blank screen seconds.

I never had that issue with my last receiver. Anyone know what to do about it? Netflix plays fine from my PS3 so maybe the issue is with the AppleTV? Still not sure why it worked with my last receiver if that's the case.

text: You will need a jet assembly for the end of the pump. The control valve male end screws into the top of the pump and the outlet of the control valve goes to the tank. You can screw a pressure guage in the other connection. You need to adjust the control valve to 20 lbs while the pump is running. This causes the jet assembly to work best. Once there is 20 lbs of pressure you (can) open the control valve wide open if you want.

Can't seem to get enough beauty sleep? The culprit may take your breath away. millions of Americans suffer from a commonly under-diagnosed sleep disorder that if treated, could actually improve your appearance, according to a new study.
The beauty benefits of better sleep come as no surprise to Dr. Mehmet Oz of the Dr. Oz show.
A new study in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine reports that a special sleep apnea treatment, called C-Pap, left subjects more alert, more attractive, and even more youthful.
C-Pap helps improve airflow, which gets blocked in people with sleep apnea, causing them to pause breathing repeatedly through the night.
An estimated 18 million Americans have sleep apnea, but surprisingly, up to eighty percent of these cases go undiagnosed.
In truth, the beauty benefits of solving your sleep apnea problem is just a bonus. Consider the risks if you don't: untreated sleep apnea raises your risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke and heart disease.
So how do you know you even have it? One clue is waking up suddenly during the night out of breath. Another is dry mouth or a sore throat in the morning.
And if you're snoring so loud your partner finds it intolerable, it's time to investigate further with your physician.
Remember, you can watch Doctor Oz every day at three p.m. On FOX 29.

With the FIFA World Club Cup now only a matter of weeks away, the official Chelsea website brings you the latest information with regards to ticket collections, as well as news of another potential opponent...
Those supporters who have previously purchased tickets for the forthcoming FIFA World Club Cup can collect the tickets at the Stamford Bridge Box Office from Thursday 22 November at 9am.
Supporters wishing to collect tickets prior to a home match are reminded that tickets must be collected more than two hours prior to kick-off.
Duplicate tickets and collection procedure
We regret to inform supporters there will be NO duplicate tickets available for this competition.
Declaration Form
All tickets must have the fully completed declaration form before tickets can be collected/posted out.
Proof of travel
Proof of travel is NOT required with the declaration form on application. However, proof of travel may be requested at any time.
All tickets must be collected from the Box Office in person with the fully completed declaration forms by Monday 10 December by 5pm.
Posting of tickets
Should you wish to have your tickets sent out by Royal Mail Special Delivery, simply complete the following steps:
1. Book the tickets online or via the Call Centre.
2. Complete the declaration form for all customers within the order.
3. Send your credit /debit card details to Chelsea FC (to the value of £5.65) and the declaration forms to: PO BOX 21805, Fulham Road, London, SW6 1HS.
4. Once the fully completed declaration forms arrive, the tickets will be sent out to the customer who made the booking.
Please note that Chelsea FC are not responsible for failings in the postal system. Should the tickets not arrive they cannot be refunded or duplicated.
Tickets will only be sent out for this tournament if the fully completed declaration forms and special delivery payment is received by 2pm on Monday 3 December.
Meanwhile, with the tournament now only a matter of weeks away, Egyptian side Al-Ahly became the latest club to qualify after winning the CAF (African) Champions League.
Al-Ahly secured their place in the prestigious tournament for the fourth time after springing a major shock by beating Esperance Sportive de Tunis 3-2 on aggregate.
With the first leg having finished 1-1 a fortnight ago, it was all to play for going into the return, and the Egyptian outfit earned a fully deserved victory with goals from Mohamed Nagy and Waleed Soliman, while an Esperance consolation goal came too late in the game to have a significant impact.
Their last appearance in the competition came back in 2008 when Al-Ahly were eliminated in the quarter-finals after being beaten 4-2 by Pachuca, and they will enter this season's tournament at the same stage, along with Monterrey, winners of the CONCACAF Champions League, and Ulsan Hyundai, who have qualified from Asia.
Chelsea, meanwhile, will enter the World Club Cup at the semi-final stage, alongside Corinthians from Brazil, with both of our games taking place at the Yokohama Stadium.
Our first match will take place on 13 December, before we compete for a second time three days later.

The art of scherenschnitte (German for scissor cuttings) is more
unique than most art techniques, perhaps, but it is no less
impressive. Edith Johnstone, known by most as "Edie," has been
practicing this art for the past 27 years and had her work has been
published and displayed extensively.
Johnstone has loved art all her life and has worked in many
different media. She also taught elementary school and is an
enthusiastic Killington Arts Guild member.
Born in Pennsylvania, Edie, graduated from George School where she
took art and Pembroke College, (now Brown University,) which
included a year at the Rhode Island School of Design, married Bob
Johnstone, had 3 children-now adults- and moved to Vermont in
She taught art in the Sherburne Elementary School (now Killington
Elementary) for all grades, 1970 to 1984. "'You're the best art
teacher I ever had' was something the children told me." Edie
remembers, "Of course, at that point I was the only art teacher
they had had. But I'm sure that I learned as much from the many
children as they learned from me."
Since 2006, she has volunteered Friday afternoons in art classes at
In 1985, a German friend sent her some scherenschnitte (scissor
cuttings.) "I loved that technique and started doing it using my
own designs. Mostly I am self-taught but I took a course at
Fletcher Farm," she said. Adding, "I'm a member of the Guild of
American Papercutters and get their magazine, FirstCut, so I see a
large variety of styles and cuttings. Many of my paper cuttings
have been printed in that magazine. All are original designs." For
a contest in that magazine she created a cutting "Pets." Almost all
the animals in it have been, at one time or another, her
For many years Edie did egg painting, and taught over glaze china
painting to adults in her home; she has demonstrated: paper cutting
at Art and Antiques on Center (Rutland), in the after school art
program at the Sherburne Library and to KAG.
She introduced ATC (Artist's Trading Cards) to the Guild. I still
remember the wonderful time we had drawing, cutting and pasting.
She brought all the materials needed and was so enthusiastic.
On June 9, Edie will be one of the KAG artists demonstrating at the

Hayley Hughes is awesome. She's a stylist, a street-style photographer, the creative director for Melbourne Street Fashion, and a fashion blogger – well, a fashion everywoman. Needless to say, her blog, Fashion Hayley, has been a long favourite at the WORN office.
What did you dress like in high school?
I was a little crazy in high school. It was 1998 and I was a "grunger". My fave outfit was: red flares from an op shop (thrift store in USA English), a purple tie dyed slip dress from a market, pink fairy wings, blue hair, nose piercing, fake lip piercing which eventually became real, assortment of bindis on my face and lots of glitter make-up. Oh, and I carried an Elmo doll around who also wore fairy wings.
Have you always worn what you love, or has that come with age?
With me its always been about wearing what I love. Even as a kid when my parents wanted me to wear jeans and a t-shirt I would throw a tantrum because I wanted to wear a dress. My mum eventually just let me go and experiment with fashion however I saw fit. She tells me how my grandparents would call her up and ask mum to please dress me in something more respectable. She never did and I was able to leave the house in all manners of intensely stupid garb, but it was fun.
From reading your blog, I get the impression that you have a pretty profound love for Japan. Where did that come from?
My love of Japan all started when I bought my first copy of Fruits magazine in 2000. I was still at high school and I became obsessed with the crazy looks on the kids of Harajuku and I started to take my own street fashion photographs. I finally went over to Japan on a holiday in 2004 and absolutly fell in love with the country, vowing to move there as soon as I could. In 2006 that dream came true and I moved to Tokyo to teach English and get to know the fashion scene. I ended up becoming best friends with a girl from that very first issue of Fruits magazine I bought without realising it until I got back to Australia and looked through the old mag.

Anyhow, the new mw listened to the story and said, "I like what I'm hearing. I think everything happened as it should have." I felt more healing in that moment than in the last 2 years combined. I still wish more than anything that DS could have been positioned better (ie not sunny side up). But I'm finding it easier to accept that it happened. And also I am thankful because I believe the c/sec saved both our lives. I know I wasn't able to push that little boy's head out.
Thanks very much for this thread. I've been really touched by everyone's stories.
Stories have great power. They can be incredibly healing. It would be great if every HCP who attends birth considered "birthing a story" part of their job description. How that story gets told can make such a difference.

Softball Off To Best Start in School History at 11-0
– The North Georgia softball team used another pitchers dual
to cap a perfect 7-0 record over the weekend at the UAH Charger
Chillout, taking down North Alabama 3-1 on Sunday afternoon in
non-conference action.
With the victory, North Georgia is now off to their best start in school history, posting the program's first-ever 11-0 mark to start a season, and doing it in all ways with blowout wins, extra-inning thrillers, and even taking down a pair of ranked teams along the way.
North Alabama was on a mission to take out their second ranked team in as many days after blanking #20 Wayne State 1-0 on Saturday, but the Saints avoided the upset bid and broke the Lyons five-game winning streak, sending UNA to 6-5 on the season.
The Saints jumped on top early as they have done in so many games this season, using a leadoff single from Laura Voyles who stole second and later came around to score on a throw as Lauren Dykes was trying to advance to second.
North Georgia added another run in the fourth inning as Katherin Martin doubled to left field, bringing Pilar Harden around to score and make it 2-0. The Saints tallied one more single run in the sixth, this time coming on a passed ball as Harden raced home, her second run scored of the contest.
North Alabama picked up their lone run in the last of the sixth as Palmer flied out to center for a sacrifice fly, allowing a run to score from third and make it 3-1.
Dykes (2-0) picked up the win for the Saints, allowing just one hit and one earned run while striking out five in 5.1 innings of work. Phillips came on for her second save of the season, tossing 1.2 innings out of the pen and allowing a hit while striking out one.
The Saints will finally play their home opener of the 2010 season on Sunday, February 28, hosting Queens University for a doubleheader set to start at 1:00 p.m. The Royals return to Dahlonega after making in appearance in last year's Dahlonega Regional where North Georgia defeated Queens 2-0 in the opening round.

Benchmark crude for December delivery was unchanged at $86.07 per barrel at midday Bangkok time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose 98 cents to finish at $86.07 per barrel on the Nymex on Friday.
Obama and congressional leaders face a Jan. 2 deadline to reach an agreement or at least come up with a framework to deal with expiring Bush-era tax cuts and automatic spending cuts to defense and domestic programs—known as the "fiscal cliff."
Economists say the cuts could cost up to $800 billion, cost 3 million jobs and plunge the U.S. back into recession. Analysts say more stock market turmoil could arise as the deadline approaches.
Obama was to begin talking to lawmakers in Washington this week on a deal.
Brent crude, used to price international varieties of oil, rose 20 cents to $109.59 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
Among other energy futures on Nymex:
— Heating oil rose 0.4 cents to $3.01 a gallon.
— Wholesale gasoline rose 1.4 cents to $2.672 a gallon.
— Natural gas was unchanged at $3.503 per 1,000 cubic feet.
