DEH SUBZ, AFGHANISTAN –– Children line their bench-style desks, patiently alert, chatting softly. A teacher reviews last minute lesson plans and writes a greeting on the spotless blackboard. At the schoolyard gate, visitors gather in the sun. They wait for honored guests, watch last-minute preparations and direct the occasional car to a parking spot out of the way. The mood is festive and happy. It's the first day of school, a day to be celebrated with song and speech––so the barrels of the Kalashnikov rifles are pointed to the ground.
Kalashnikovs. In Duxbury, a band of men armed with assault rifles attending the opening of an elementary school would make the national news. But the Zabuli School for Girls isn't in Duxbury. It's in Deh Sabz, Afghanistan, a gritty town of 1,000 families on the outskirts of the capital city Kabul. Out here, standing among men armed to the teeth is calming, not frightening. It means that security is strong. Fear comes when standing among men who have turned their attention toward you, and you can't see their weapons. More unsettling, perhaps, are the moments when you can see their weapons and the barrels are pointed up. That's when they're ready for action.
More unsettling, perhaps, are the moments when you can see their weapons and the barrels are pointed up. That's when they're ready for action.
But Opening Day for the Zabuli School had no such problem. On this glorious day the Kalashnikov rifles are pointed to the ground. The gathering of notables, teachers and more than 100 girls went off smoothly. The elementary school for girls is fully recognized by Afghanistan's Ministry of Education, and jointly sponsored by the Rotary Club of Duxbury, along with Mrs. Frieda (Zabuli) Madjid, the Zabuli Foundation and the extraordinary fund-raising skills of Razia Jan, an Afghan native and Duxbury businesswoman.
The biggest problems of the day were the delays waiting for officialdom to arrive and a ribbon that refused to stay in place for the cutting ceremony. In the end, the Zabuli School for Girls was up and running. The waiting was worth it.
"Sah! Sah! Sah!â€
The greetings ring out from the children, cheery, confident, almost brusque. It's the shortest form of "salam alaikum,†the traditional Muslim greeting of peace. It's too informal for anyone but children or the best of friends. The hardscrabble poverty of the village is obvious everywhere but in the demeanor of the children. They pass in and out of the school compound while workmen add finishing touches.
The morning air heats up in the sun, but the shade is cool inside where the girls wait. Most arrived an hour or more ahead of schedule. They range in age from four to about 12, in size from peanuts to strong young saplings. All are dressed in their best, and the older ones wear scarves over their hair. A few wear the standard schoolgirl's outfit, a black long-sleeved dress and a white scarf. They can be seen by the hundreds in Kabul. In Deh Sabz, these girls have attended schools elsewhere and are now transferring to the Zabuli School, closer to home.
"Until we completed our approvals,†Razia explains, "these girls couldn't transfer. They needed permission from their other schools, and that couldn't happen until this one is official. Oh, my mind is spinning! So many details!â€
Two girls, the principal's daughters, wear stunning traditional outfits. They will greet notables at the door in traditional style with trays of sweets and candied almonds.
Boys, too, flow in and out of the building, brothers of the girls waiting patiently in the classrooms. They move with boyish authority, supervising, curious about everything. All are pleasant and bright.
A madrassa, a religious school for boys, stands directly across the street in a village mosque. Just as there had once been a maktab (general education school) on the site of the new Zabuli School, the old mosque and its Islamic school are integral parts of the village community. I wonder how the madrassa students and staff would react to this new school for girls so nearby.
"Oh, we'll have to see,†Razia replied, with just a hint of worry in her voice.
Afghanistan's reputation for arch conservatism and male-dominated families peels away in the schoolyard and surrounding neighborhood. These aren't oppressed children. They're as bold and bright as any and more polite than most. They swing through the schoolyard, boys and girls navigating around the armed guards as if they owned the place. They do.
To be sure, the girls attending the Zabuli School are sisters of the boys at the madrassa, all from Deh Sabz. Islamic education in schools recognized by the Afghan Ministry of Education is not to be compared with the fundamentalist schools found across the border in Pakistan. If the cheery lads slipping in and out of the Zabuli School on opening day are any example, there should be no problem. They seem to approve.
The children's manner is a paradox viewed through western eyes. Afghanistan's reputation for arch conservatism and male-dominated families peels away in the schoolyard and surrounding neighborhood. These aren't oppressed children. They're as bold and bright as any and more polite than most. They swing through the schoolyard, boys and girls navigating around the armed guards as if they owned the place. They do.
A straggler waits through the morning, neither joining the others nor leaving. A girl of about eight is a little dusty, wearing play clothes rather than school-day best. Hers is the only sad face in the building. She won't be staying for school. Razia stops to engage her and sends her off with the principal's husband.
Women on the Move
The Zabuli School project started about two years ago.
"I've known Mrs. Karzai for years,†Razia Jan explained. "She was on her way to an Islamic women's conference in Istanbul, and she met Aziza.â€
Zinat Karzai is the wife of Afghan President Hamid Karzai, and Aziza Mohamad Dauod is an Afghan woman who runs Niazi Road and Building, a Kabul construction corporation. As Afghans will, the two got to talking. Aziza was looking for a worthy project to help Afghanistan's recovery, like a school for girls on the site of a historic school building, now in ruins after 30 years of warfare. The problem was to find a way to pay for it.
Aha! Zinat just happened to have a friend (Razia) who had been looking for a worthy project for the Duxbury Rotary Club as was the Zabuli Foundation and Frieda Madjid, the widow of Abdul Madjid Zabuli. He was a founder of the modern Afghan state. Rather than foist a school onto a random town as a form of social engineering, this would restore a school that was once an important center of the community.
Razia would add to the reliable coordination, linking the two women's ideas to private American funds and fundraising, and the private Afghan funds of the Zabuli Foundation through Frieda Madjid. She is known in Afghanistan as Fareeda Zabuli.
In the days following the September 11th attack, Razia Jan had managed tireless relief efforts to bridge the gap between the needy children of Afghanistan and American troops fighting to find Osama bin Laden and to overthrow the Taliban stranglehold on Razia's country of birth. She started with blankets for rescue workers in New York and commemorative quilts for the fallen heroes of the World Trade Center. She moved on to scarves for our soldiers in the field. Then, through the U.S. military's Operation Shoe-fly, she sent more than 30,000 pairs of shoes to the children of Afghanistan.
A simple tailor and dry cleaner on the outside, on the inside Razia had the passion, vision, and rich networking skills to turn Zinat and Aziza's dream of a school in Deh Sabz into reality.
A simple tailor and dry cleaner on the outside, on the inside Razia had the passion, vision, and rich networking skills to turn Zinat and Aziza's dream of a school in Deh Sabz into reality. And so the project began. With surprising speed, and a major financial boost from best-selling Afghan author Khaled Hosseini, the ground was broken for the new school in a well-attended little ceremony.
Razia told us about the groundbreaking from the podium of the Duxbury's Performing Arts Center as she introduced Khaled Hosseini for the first of two fundraising events.
"All of the men who had worked on the project and men from the community had come, but none of the women. I told them, next time, I want to see all of the women,†she said. "And none of you!â€
Her charming jest must have worked with Afghan men as well as it did in Duxbury, because the school's building proceeded smoothly. Despite a delay for the coldest, snowiest winter in recent years, the building progressed as planned. Curious Duxbury residents could watch the progress at the Web site – thezabulischool.org – and the most curious could learn that even the apparent vandalism on the outside wall was part of the process. Workmen grew tired of fielding questions about the project, interrupting their work. They painted words at each side of the gate. Instead of a vandal's epithet, the tags say "Maktab,†the Dari word for school.
Men Waiting
On opening day stragglers are met in the shadows of the main hallway and funneled to their particular classroom. They're not late. They're just not as early as their sister students. No fluorescent glare jars the eye. The electricity is off but sunlight floods from the windows and makes every room bright. No one expected electricity today.
Outside the front door, sun and stifling dust combine to wash all but the brightest colors into a pastel gray. Men fuss in the heat over plans and techniques to clear the dust from the broad new steps, spraying them with a hose. Others fiddle with a carpet, so that guests and girls can wipe the newly-created mud off their feet before entering the school.
"One thousand families,†Abdul Rahimi repeats, waiting in the sun. "Can you imaging the difference to this town? That's how many families live near here. And with six or seven children each. Just think.â€
Rahman, and his son Jawid, run the Afghan American Corporation, designers and builders of the school. Their name lives forever on the school's dedication plaque. Today, he stands with pride – bursting, actually – as the project nears its opening climax.
"The foundation is strong enough to add another floor,†he says, pointing to the concrete footings.
"Oh, let's make sure we can do this first,†Razia cautions. "Let's see how this goes.â€
Abdul Rahman Rahimi would love to add his views to the succession of speakers expected. Sadly, he will have to share them personally.
"The program is set,†Razia says. "We can't change it now. It's too late.â€
Abdul is right to be proud of his gleaming white building. A January, 2008 survey taken by the Ministry of Education reports that some 3,500 school buildings have been completed nationwide in recent years, but that 40 percent of Afghanistan's schools still have no buildings at all. Many students meet, in fine weather, in the shade of former buildings, under trees or wherever they can. In foul weather they can't meet at all. The Zabuli School's building is sturdy and roomy.
The country's schools suffer from 30 years of war and neglect. The numbers in the survey seem staggering: "Nationally there are 22,728 toilets available at school facilities. Of these, 3,374 require rehabilitation. There is also a need for 28,805 new toilets.â€Â It's more personal in Deh Sabz, where the splendid toilet building was finished in the nick of time.
"Classes won't start for another day or two,†says Razia. "We have to let the concrete in the bathrooms harden. Hundreds of kids – you can imagine.â€
"Classes won't start for another day or two,†says Razia. "We have to let the concrete in the bathrooms harden. Hundreds of kids – you can imagine.â€
The floors are hard, but the concrete has not yet cured. In the dry heat of spring, it will take one or two more days. But the reviews from visitors are uniform: the toilets are beautiful. And the sinks! Everybody loves the sparkling sinks.
In the main building, a little library is clean and bright. Tiny stacks of Ministry-approved workbooks cover a bit of the shelf space. The classroom shelves are empty. Word from the Ministry is that all the approved textbooks will be sent to the school once new copies are printed. Money is not yet available for the job. There is a computer room at the school, but internet access from Deh Sabz will take time.
The approved library of texts includes everything for an educational foundation for grades one though 12. One title catches the eye: Mantiq, a class with levels from grade seven through 12, junior high and high school. In Dari it means "common sense.â€
The Zabuli School – like all Afghan schools – is required to teach both Dari and Pashto. Historically, Afghanistan has long been governed by Pashtuns while the language of government is Dari. Both languages will be taught here, along with English when a qualified teacher can be retained. Ministry officials are noticeably reassured when told that Dari and Pashto will find equal privilege in the curriculum.
Support for the Zabuli School is strong, and certainly committed. The January survey report underlined the difficulties facing this or any school in Afghanistan. Half of the nation's school-aged children are out of school, with significant gender and provincial disparities. Today there are nearly six million children in school, and 35 percent are girls. Five years ago, there were one million in school, and "almost no girls.â€Â While many girls today are starting school roughly on schedule, their older sisters have been caught in a gap. In Deh Sabz, this, too, is personal.
"We got permission from the Ministry,†Razia says, "to have a special class for the older girls starting at Grade one. They won't be in class with the littlest beginners. They'll have their own class for a few months or a year to catch up to where they would have been.â€
There are other challenges to the Ministry. Afghanistan is poorly mapped. When data gatherers fanned out to all the schools, they took GPS readings for each one. Street addresses would be meaningless without reliable maps. While some 9,476 schools were surveyed, "deteriorating security†limited the data from 600 of them. But when Gulalai, the principal, was driven to the Ministry for the final paperwork for her school, her only concern was surviving the Kabul traffic and practicing the quieter arts of bureaucracy.
Speed Bump
The final days before the opening were unexpectedly consumed by this trip to the Ministry. Nation building means bureaucracy and bureaucracy means speed bumps. Kabul has thousands of real ones in the streets, where Afghan drivers fly like the wind. There are no traffic lights. Home owners and shopkeepers build their own speed bumps to gain control of their space. Like administrators around the world, Afghan bureaucrats find comfort in symbolic speed bumps, the forms, approvals, and signatures that they hope will build order into the chaos left behind by war. In the weeks leading up to the planned grand opening, the Zabuli School hit a snag.
"They all came to the Ground Breaking a year ago,†Razia said. "How could I know there was a problem? Everything was approved, wasn't it? They gave us the go-ahead.â€
Not so fast. The Ministry that originally owned the land, Razia lamented, now said that it needed to grant permission for the school property to once again be a school. They said it was their land.
"Without the approval, we can't register students. We can't hire teachers, not officially,†Razia said.
She arranged a last-minute set of appointments at the Ministry of Education.
"If I needed to, I could call in the heavyweights,†Razia explained. After all, Zinat Karzai was a friend, and pioneer of the project.
"But I don't want to do it that way. They must do this themselves. I can't be here forever, to solve every little problem. They have to learn to do it from the ground up.â€
With only hours to spare, Razia and Principal Gulalai drive to the Ministry to seek the necessary signatures.
Razia adds her presence to the process. Gulalai handlesthe actual forms, feeding them to the appropriate administrators and answering their questions. She is, after all, the principal. She'll be in charge when Razia is gone. Razia grooms her by setting an example.
Gulalai carries herself with gentle grace. She is educated and capable, but she still needs to grow into this job, Razia believes.
"She's young, and she's very smart. I know she will stay here, that the job will keep her here. But she must get...bigger. She can't let the little things distract her. She can't be seen as getting into squabbles. She must be above all that. They must do what she says, and that's it. She has to be able to do this when I'm gone.â€
In the final hours, Gulalai and Razia succeed. Signatures are obtained. Forms are stamped. The Ministry of Education approves this novel project. The Zabuli School for Girls can open.
A school re-born
The morning lingers. The appointed time comes and goes, and the waiting continues. Ministers, clergy, and other such officials arrive, after all, on their own schedules. The girls and teachers make the best of it, with grace and patience beyond all expectation. Songs are rehearsed again. Frieda Madjid rehearses, too. She pares her words to a precious few; her vivid blue eyes sparkle in the sun.
Sultan, a young Afghan on hand to serve as guide and translator, dives in to lead the girls in their rehearsal. His singing voice is beautiful. The teacher welcomes his help. Maybe she's being deferential. But then, he's a handsome bloke at 19, and the little girls seem to like him.
Their singing is sweet as candied almonds. Even a beginning student of Dari can hear a power in the song, and its listing of group after group from Afghanistan's multi-layered life. The prayers, official speeches, and cutting of the elusive ribbon are finished. Here's what everyone hears, in Pashto, sung with joy and beauty:
This land is Afghanistan - It is the pride of every Afghan
The land of peace, the land of the sword – All its sons are brave
This is the country of every tribe - Land of Baluch, and Uzbeks
Pashtoons, and Hazaras - Turkman and Tajiks with them,
Arabs and Gojars, Pamirian, Nooristanis
Barahawi, and Qizilbash - Also Aimaq, and Pashaye
This Land will shine for ever - Like the sun in the blue sky
In the chest of Asia - It will remain as the heart for ever
We will follow the one God - We all say, Allah is great, we all say, Allah is great
"Land of peace, land of the sword,†the children sing. These people know who they are.
"All its sons are brave.â€Â So, too, its daughters. When they return for classes, day by day, the officials will be gone, the Kalashnikovs far away. But the girls and their teachers will stand together, safe (God willing), in the heart of Afghanistan.
Gulalai steps up to her role. She is personable with the children as she shapes the days ceremonies. She guides and directs them easily. The ceremonies finished, she stands in the sun at the front door. All the VIP's are gone. By class-rooms, groups of girls gather to her. Like bright fans arrayed around her on the steps, each group looks up to her, attentive to their final instructions and good-byes for the day. She tells them when to come back for the start of regular classes in a day or two. They scatter when finally dismissed, not before.
When they return for their classes, the girls of a thousand families will learn, too. Deh Sabz will grow with their knowledge, drive and courage. You can see it in their eyes. You can hear it in their cheery calls as they scamper home, dismissed.
"Sah! Sah! Sah!†From the voices of girls with a future, "Peace!â€
With a successful opening ceremony behind her, Gulalai seems more relaxed, more able to fill the space where she stands. The Zabuli School will be hers to run. On the steps to wave good-bye, she seems taller. Bigger, Razia might put it. Graceful, not yet grand. She will learn.
When they return for their classes, the girls of a thousand families will learn, too. Deh Sabz will grow with their knowledge, drive and courage. You can see it in their eyes. You can hear it in their cheery calls as they scamper home, dismissed.
"Sah! Sah! Sah!†From the voices of girls with a future, "Peace!â€

Singer-songwriter Barbara Bailey Hutchison will share her passion for music and the visual arts with the Clayton community this month.
The Grammy Award winner will perform at 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 23, at The Clayton Center, 111 E. Second St. The performance will follow a week-long visual-arts residency at Clayton High School. The concert will showcase the students' individual and group artwork.
The project "is an excellent example of how we can continue to develop community partnerships to support and strengthen Clayton's growing artistic culture," said Scotty Henley, executive director of The Clayton Center.
The Clayton Center recently celebrated 10 years of presenting professional performing artists in the renovated auditorium. It also houses monthly art exhibits presented by Clayton Visual Arts.
"The Clayton Center is home to some of the most active performing and visual arts events in the area," Henley said. "We are excited to be a part of this unique, interdisciplinary community arts outreach and to work closely with Barbara and (Clayton High art teacher) Jane Roberts. I urge local arts patrons to come out to support our student artists."
Lyn Austin is president of the Clayton Cultural Arts Foundation. She first heard about Hutchison and her unique program last year at a meeting of the N.C. Presenters Consortium.
"I was so impressed with the idea of bringing a project like this to Clayton, where we already have such an active performing and visual arts community," she said.
"The foundation has always been a huge supporter of Clayton Youth Theater," Austin added. "CYT is such a success and has provided such great opportunities for our youth that we believed that supporting the visual arts would be a natural next step. The foundation wants to embrace all opportunities to provide unique and exciting arts experiences for our community members of all ages."
Throughout the week of Nov. 18-22, Hutchison will work with about 55 art students on two portrait projects: one of the student themselves and one group project creating a four-by-four portrait of a famous person. No one but Hutchison will know the subject of the group project until the portrait is complete.
The underlying lesson of the residency is that a big task can be conquered by breaking it down into smaller pieces.
Hutchison will display the student portraits and unveil the finished group project during her Nov. 23 concert.
As for her singing, Hutchison's voice is familiar to millions of television and radio listeners. Early in her career, she sang in hundreds of commercials for McDonald's, Hallmark, Heinz and other national advertisers.
She grew up in Detroit, Mich., and launched her career in music while attending Michigan State University. She began touring colleges and universities throughout the United States and was voted Best Solo Performer, Best Acoustic Performer and Best Female Performer in a national magazine poll.
In 1996, Hutchison won the Grammy for Best Musical Recording for Children , for an album of original lullabies she produced for a friend. She then began to perform concerts for children and families.
Tickets to the concert cost $10 for adults and $7 for youth 18 and younger. They're available online at www.theclaytoncenter.com, by phone at 919-553-1737 and from the box office, which is open from 1 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Kitchen Privileges
A Memoir
- 1award
- customer reviews
Even as a young girl, growing up in the Bronx, Mary Higgins Clark knew she wanted to be a writer. The gift of storytelling was a part of her Irish ancestry, so it followed naturally that she would later use her sharp eye, keen intelligence, and inquisitive nature to create stories about the people and things she observed.
Along with all Americans, those who lived in New York City's borough of the Bronx suffered during the Depression. So it followed that when Mary's father died, her mother, deciding to open the family home to boarders, placed a discreet sign next to the front door that read, FURNISHED ROOMS. KITCHEN PRIVILEGES. Very shortly the first in a succession of tenants arrived: a couple dodging bankruptcy who moved in with their wild-eyed boxer; a teacher who wept endlessly over her lost love; a deadbeat who tripped over a lamp while trying to sneak out in the middle of the night...
The family's struggle to make ends meet; her days as a scholarship student in an exclusive girls' academy; her after-school employment as a hotel switchboard operator (happily listening in on the guests' conversations); the death of her beloved older brother in World War II; her brief career as a flight attendant for Pan Am (a job taken after a friend who flew with the airline said ever so casually, "God, it was beastly hot in Calcutta"); her marriage to Warren Clark, on whom she'd had a crush for many years; sitting at the kitchen table, writing stories, and finally selling the first one for one hundred dollars (after six years and some forty rejections!) -- all these experiences figure into Kitchen Privileges, as does her husband's untimely death, which left her a widowed mother of five young children.
Determined to care for her family and to make a career for herself, she went to work writing scripts for a radio show, but in her spare time she began writing novels. Her first, a biographical novel about the life of George Washington titled Aspire to the Heavens, found a publisher but disappeared without a trace when the publisher folded. (Recently it was rediscovered by a descendant of the Washington family and was reissued under the title Mount Vernon Love Story.) The experience, however, gave her the background and the preparation for writing Where Are the Children? which went on to become an international bestseller. That novel launched her career and was the first of twenty-seven (and still counting!) bestselling books of suspense.
As Mary Higgins Clark has said when asked if she might consider giving up writing for a life of leisure, "Never! To be happy for a year, win the lottery. To be happy for life, love what you do."
In Kitchen Privileges, she reflects on the joy that her life as a writer has brought her, and shares with readers the love that she has found.

Read an Excerpt
My first conscious memory is of being three years old and looking down at my new baby brother with a mixture of curiosity and distress. His crib had not been delivered on time, and he was sleeping in my doll carriage, thereby displacing my favorite doll, who was ready for her nap.
Luke and Nora, my father and mother, had kept company for seven years, a typical Irish courtship. He was forty-two and she pushing forty when they finally tied the knot. They had Joseph within the year; me, Mary, nineteen months later; and Mother celebrated her forty-fifth birthday by giving birth to Johnny. The story is that when the doctor... see more

The information you have entered is correct for spouse and children. Wayne William Steen (my grandfather) is now resting with his parents and siblings. I don't think aunt Dode (Cleola) is there, aunt Genevieve may not be there either. I think aunt Dorotha. If you need to know about any of their ten children I could possibly help. Haven't been there in a while, so can't remember for sure which ones are at Ft. Madison Cemetary.

I walked the entire cemetery today and did not find a grave marker for Ethel Belk. I did not want to report a problem hoping that perhaps someone else may have better luck in finding her grave. Is there a chance her marker may show McMullen in lieu of Belk? I might go back and check all the McMullen markers since there are a lot of them. I did find a marker for Earl Belk who may be related to her. I posted a photo of his marker on his memorial page.

Difficult Interview
I applied through a recruiter and the process took 2 weeks - interviewed at Ryan, LLC.
Interview Details For me, the interviewer started off by describing the duty and responsibility of the position I applied for. He then asked about my background both in school and out school in that specific field. After he finished main points, he then went through my resume. This is phone interview, and it's just about 30 minutes.
Interview Question – The interviewer did not actually ask me deeply in technical questions. Instead, he asked me in overall of what I have learned in this/that subject which will be used in the position I applied for. I think this is the main and most important question you should be best prepared to present yourself. Answer Question

TEACHER Ben Eggins of South Penrith's York Public School has beaten 1500 other teachers across greater Sydney to become 2UE's Sydney's Favourite Teacher of the year.
He was chosen from an outstanding group of finalists from across Sydney, including public schools at Yowie Bay, Rouse Hill, Cambridge Gardens, Alfords Point, Robert Townson at Raby, Inaburra High School at Bangor, Freeman Catholic College at Bonnyrigg Heights, Galston High School and Broderick Gillawarna Special School at Revesby.
The year 6 teacher was unaware he had won the prize, until he entered a special assembly at the school last Friday.
''This is the craziest thing that's ever happened to me,'' Mr Eggins said.
The children cheered him to the echo.
2UE presenter Jason Morrison congratulated Mr Eggins and said it was obvious that he was popular among the school pupils.
He presented the teacher with a trophy and a $10,000 prize.
Mr Eggins thanked all those who had voted for him, but said it was not really about him.
''This is about the teachers all over Australia and all over the world,'' he said.
''I really don't think I deserved it; I'm just doing what I love to do; I do my job as everyone else does.
''I'm so pleased to be at York Public School.
''I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for all the teachers at this school who support me.''
Morrison told the assembly he was glad that out of all the schools nominated, 2UE was able to choose York Public School.
He also presented a $4000 cheque for the school to its principal David Pettitt.
''This is about quality teachers and quality teaching,'' Mr Pettitt said.
The children also cheered the Channel 7 and Channel 9 film crews invited to the event.
Morrison reminded them to look out for themselves on television.

What did you use for average daily water use?
Hi all,
I'm looking to get a water softener for a relative and I'd greatly appreciate some advice. I've been doing a lot of research, so I think I have a pretty good idea of what I need, but I'd really appreciate advice from the experts. Here's their details:
- 2 bathroom house
- no jacuzzi or anything like that, only a dishwasher and a washing machine
- max flow rate ~12gpm
- 1" plumbing
- according to their water bill, water usage ranged from 11k to 19k gallons per month - average is about 16k. They don't do any outdoor watering, car washing, etc., so this is all internal home use. Don't know if this matters, but thought I should mention it. Their household is actually only 3 adults. However, their daughter's family (2 adults, 2 kids) spends the weekends there - which I suppose is why their usage is so high.
Now for their water data. This data comes from a Quality Report done by the city. There are 6 water sources that combine, and the data is provided as ranges, so I took the weighted averages of all the sources.
- hardness: 14.6-28.8 gpg (avg 22.7 gpg)
- iron: 0
- manganese: .0045 ppm
According to my calculations, they need to remove between 60k and 100k grains per week - average is about 84k. I think this would indicate that they need either 3.5 or 4 cu.ft. of resin. However, I've talked to 3 local companies and everyone has said that's way to big for residential. They say those sizes are primarily for commercial, and they all have recommended either 2.0 or 2.5 max, so now I'm kinda second-guessing myself and wondering if I'm missing something. On the other hand, there's a considerable jump in price between 2.5 and 3.5, so if 2.5 will suffice I would go with that. Would there be any downside to 2.5, aside from it regenerating more often?
I'd really appreciate any advice on this.
What did you use for average daily water use?
[B]No, plumbing ain't rocket science. Unlike rocket science, plumbing requires a license[B]
I come up with 96,000 grain but damn your water use is really high.
[B]No, plumbing ain't rocket science. Unlike rocket science, plumbing requires a license[B]
I was using 7 days in my calculations - forgot to add a day for reserves. Yeah - I was surprised at their usage too (this is my relatives household, not mine), but that's what their water bill says. it actually lists usage in "hundred cubic ft" units, and states that 1 unit equals 748.05 gallons, so I calculated their usage in gallons by multiplying the two.
My household usage isn't as high as theirs, but is quite a bit higher than normal (I live 2 blocks from my relative). Is it possible our utility bills are't accurate? should I trust the utility bill, or use the "accepted" average of 75 gallons/person?
Twin tank 9100SXT would be my recommendation, probably a 1.5 cu. ft. per tank. Plenty of flow, no reserve calculations needed, and it only uses 2.4 GPM during backwash, so the flow loss to the house would not be noticed when the system regenerates.
They need to do a water usage study to determine if something else is going on there. Slab leak, toilets, etc.
It is based on salt and water efficiency. Your application is unusual in that it has some considerable variances in water usage that may cause a system to need to regenerate with a lot of the reserve capacity unused (wasted). We try to design single tank residential systems with 6 days or more between regenerations. This minimizes the lost capacity. A twin alternating system does not have a reserve since it regenerates any time of the day. The 9100SXT is an exceptional valve that will last for many years with minimal service.
Just a quick calculation, not highly accurate but the general idea is there.
600 GPD x 25 grains hardness x 365 days = approximately 5,500,000 grains annually. Estimating a 20% loss due to unused reserve = approximately 1,000,000 grains innefficiency. 1,000,000 / 24,000 = 42 cu. ft. of resin not used, regenerated w/ 8# per cu. ft. = approximately 350# additional salt usage per year. This may not justify the additional cost of a twin tank system, but it is the right way to do it. Assuming your numbers are correct, I have run these numbers very conservatively. The savings will probably be much higher.
Hope this helps.
Jkats, on the other hand he is not telling you that a twin tank softener uses capacity/salt/water to regenerate because they all use softened water for each regeneration of each tank forever.
And I've been in and around this business since 1987 and ditto is the only person I've ever heard make the claim he is making about not using the reserve of a two tank type softener. Even Kinetico salesmen don't go on like that but...
He is suggesting a twin with 1.5 cuft tanks. The highest hardness is 28 gpg not the 25 he used. And he used 600 gals per day. So have him tell you how many times a day a 1.5 cuft tank will be regenerated. How many lbs of salt will be used. And make him tell you how many lbs are used just to regenerate each tank with softened water. Then compare that to his supposed annual reserve not used salt use of 350 lbs.
IOWs you want to know the total salt used for both type softeners and you might as well ask how many additional gallons of water the twin tank will use over the larger two tank type.
Your relatives may have a toilet tank flapper valve leak or a fill valve allowing overflow of the stand pipe 24/7. There usually is a water height line on the stand pipe about an inch below the top meaning the water should be about an inch below the top of the tube.

CAUTION, as of Nov 12 2013 all YouTube videos showing how to rebuild a Clack valve have an error in them that can cause damage.
Reserve capacities of single tank systems are a formula that professionals use to estimate when a softener needs to regenerate so as to maintain soft water. Older electromechanical metered units required a simple math equation (estimate) based on an assumed gallons used per day. If a softener can treat 1000 gallons between regenerations, and the application uses 600 gallons per day, the system would need to regenerate daily, leaving potentially 400 gallons of capacity that is simply lost (waste). A twin system does not need a reserve since it will regenerate until the softener metering system gets to 0 gallons, then it will simply switch to the standby tank. The depleted tank will regenerate and standby until it is needed. Twin systems usually use soft water regeneration, but since a regeneration cycle on a modern softener can easily be set to as little as approx. 50 gallons per regeneration. From a technical standpoint, that water is mostly not even calculated since the gain in efficiency of the second tank for the last 2/3's of the brine cycle and the rinse cycle are not taking away the same amount of gallons as regenerating with hard water would do. Twin alternating units are primarily used in commercial applications, but in high hardness, or high water use residential applications they make perfect sense.
Another way to maintain a higher efficiency is to use a variable brining system. These have their flaws, but on paper they work very well. They have become a popular alternative to twin tank systems in smaller commercial applications, but it would take a couple thousand words to explain the pros and cons. Watts has done an excellent job with their variable brining system and is one that I have seen in the feild in some really bad applications and it has been able to maintain soft water and a much higher efficiency than a non variable brining design. still, a twin alternating system would be the correct system for you.
You are using a bogus example with a softener that allows 1000 gals between regenerations when the daily water use is 600 gallons. How about trying again with a correctly sized two tank softener for Jkats.
And you didn't get into how much salt is used each regeneration of a twin tank softener because softened water is used for each regeneration of each tank. And you didn't mention how many regenerations the 1.5 cuft each tank twin would use compared to the correctly sized two tank.
BTW, the Clack WS1 CS has variable reserve.

CAUTION, as of Nov 12 2013 all YouTube videos showing how to rebuild a Clack valve have an error in them that can cause damage.
Hey guys - thanks so much for all the great info - I didn't realize this could be so complex! I guess my first order of business will be to check out if they have any obvious leaks, since this will affect the usage rate and consequently the softener size. Assuming the data is correct though, Dittohead - you are recommending twin 1.5 cuft tanks; Gary - I checked out the link in your sig, and according to the chart on that page, I assume you would recommend a 4.0 cuft single tank system?
Variable reserve and variable brining are completely different and are not related in any way. Variable reserve simply allows a softener to make a mathematical estimate of when it should regenerate to be as efficient as possible while still wasting a certain portion of the systems capacity.
Last note, a twin alternating design can regenerate multiple times per day if needed with no negative affect. We sell many hot water 9000 twin alternators for large undersink dish washer applications where space is extremely limited so the system are considerably undersized and they regenerate multiple times per day. This is not ideal, but it is also not a problem.
Variable brining is a softener adjusting the amount of salt the system regenerates with in order to only regenerate the amount of resin that has been used. Similar to topping off a gas tank, instead of just putting 20 gallons in whether the tank is empty or not, and anything past full just goes on the ground.
Variable brining has its problems and we don't recommend it if you can get a softener past 5 days between regenerations. Some of our customers have been using variable brining very successfully for many years in place of twin alternating designs in commercial applications.
You should tell him how many lbs of salt the twin 1.5 each tank would use per regeneration and how much is used to regenerate with softened water.

I just had to get my two cents in on this one. I see that the twin alternating is a good fit for your home and your friends down the street. I would look at the water meter to ensure your water usage is at what the utility says it is. Check for leaks via the water meter also is a good idea (there should be a flow indicator like a small triangle spinning slowly if you have a leak). Finally there is a product out there that is a twin alt tank system but uses a new tech called TWEDO that saves a lot of water in the regeneration process. The company is called Clearion Water Systems, you should be able to google it since advertising on forums is a no, no. The fleck head is good but they haven't embraced any new advancement for that valve in a number of years now.

We're taking advantage of our partnership with Travel + Leisure to get their editors' recommendations and insider tips on the places you will want to visit. Here are their picks for just one of the 150 destinations they covered.
Bondi Beach
Laid-back beach culture predominates here—along the half-mile stretch of sand, in the adjacent 10-acre park, and spilling into the neighborhood beyond. When conditions are right—which is most of the time—surfers in black wetsuits provide optimal people-watching. Want to be more than a bystander? Grab your "cossie" (swimming costume) and sign up for a lesson with Let's Go Surfing.
The BridgeClimb
At practically any hour of the day, you'll spot what looks like a procession of ants crawling along the Sydney Harbour Bridge's upper arch (known as "the Coathanger"). Welcome to the infamous BridgeClimb, a 3½-hour guided trek 440 feet above the harbor waters. While the climb isn't for everyone—participants should be able to traverse catwalks and ladders—it's perfectly safe: you're fastened to the bridge's struts with a safety cable.
Sydney Opera House
Under the swooping, cantilevered roofs of Australia's most famous landmark, the Opera House contains six different performance spaces—including the 2,679-seat concert hall, which hosts everything from performances of La Bohème to ballet and aboriginal dance. Take the hourlong behind-the-scenes tour, which traces the history of Danish architect Jørn Utzon's masterpiece.

Summary of The Upside of the Downturn Summary of The Upside of the Downturn Reviews for The Upside of the Downturn An Excerpt from The Upside of the Downturn
Never waste a crisis.
Some businesses—and some people—will emerge from today's economic tumult stronger and more dominant than when it started. Others will weaken and fade. It all depends on critical choices they make right now.
Geoff Colvin, one of America's most respected business jour-nalists, says even the scariest turbulence has an upside. The best managers know that conventional thinking won't help them in tough times. They're taking smart, practical steps—frequently unconventional and even counterintuitive—that will not only keep them strong, but will also distance them from the pack for years to come.
The dozens of top-performing leaders Colvin interviewed reject the common view that slashing costs and firing employees are the only effective tactics. They see volatility as a rich opportunity to reinvent their organizations and lay the ground-work for future growth.
Colvin shows us how these strategies really work, using exam-ples of major companies that have successfully applied them.

Peeps used to be good for eating, as far as I knew. Those sugar-covered marshmallow birdies were a seasonal treat that came around every spring, and then went on sale after Easter. That, of course, means that a lot of us (including me) grew up eating Peeps not before, but after Easter, when they were 99 cents per pack at CVS. They tasted even better when they were a bit stale and crunchy; don't ask me why, and I know that's gross.
Peeps, unlike their contemporary, candy cigarettes, survived the ages and are still as popular as ever. The DIY crafting movement, it seems, is fueling their popularity. Also, it doesn't hurt that all things nostalgically twee are in vogue. What could be more cute, and slightly ironic, than neon colored marshmallow bunnies and birds?
A few crafty craftsters on Hometalk.com posted photos of their wreaths made of Peeps. "Well this is just the cleverest thing I've seen," thought I, and proceeded to write this here article. When I think of wreaths, I totally think of...marshmallows. No, I don't, which is what makes a wreath made of Peeps so cool. Make one of these before everyone else does. If you wait too long, you'll have to make your wreath out of saltwater taffy. Wait, that's actually a good idea.
Kelly (a DIY remodeler in NYC) from Eclectically Vintage posted her awesome yellow Peeps wreath on Hometalk. You can also check out her full blog post about how to make a wreath out of Peeps. Basically, the process is like this: You take a Styrofoam wreath, and you stick Peeps all over it with toothpicks. This is one of the many household uses for toothpicks. Then you hang it up with a ribbon, tied with a bow. Obviously, you don't need to be a professional carpenter to do this project, which also makes it cool.
If you are reading this in syndicate, now would be a great time to click over to the original article on Networx.com so that you can see the great big picture of Kelly's Peeps wreath that I'm posting below. Ready, set, get crafting!

TAU Inaugurates Historian Bernard Lewis' Personal Collection of Middle Eastern Scholarship
Thursday, January 31, 2013
Unmatched archive from an illustrious career finds a permanent home at TAU
Prof. Joseph Klafter (left) andProf. Bernard Lewis inaugurate theLewis Collection at TAU
Friends, family, and scholars gathered on January 20 on the Tel Aviv University campus to celebrate the inauguration of the Professor Bernard Lewis Collection, housed at the Sourasky Central Library. Comprised of approximately 18,000 items, including rare books in multiple languages, journals, documents, and letters, the archive holds the personal collections of preeminent Middle East historian Prof. Bernard Lewis, acquired over the course of his distinguished career.
The ceremony reflected the close relationship between Prof. Lewis and TAU, which has flourished for the past four decades. TAU President Prof. Joseph Klafter thanked Prof. Lewis for the magnificent gift, noting that it would continue his legacy for many generations of scholars and students. "Through it, your name and your immense influence on the field and on Tel Aviv University will live on for many more generations," he told the historian.

Beyond its contribution to the stature of TAU's Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies as a leader in Middle Eastern scholarship, Prof. Itamar Rabinovitch, former Ambassador of Israel to the United States and former President of TAU, said that the importance of the collection lies in offering students access to specialized materials, encouraging them to engage with print in this digital age. Dana Raz, the MA student who is working to catalogue and process the collection, expressed her admiration for the richness of the archives, saying that her daily involvement with the materials has served to increase her curiosity and hunger for knowledge.
Quoting from his recently published memoir Notes on a Century, Prof. Lewis reflected warmly on his "rewarding and interesting career," filled by his prolific writings, stimulating debates, and cherished friends and family. "I have been particularly fortunate in the way that you have honored me today," he thanked the crowd.
Celebrating a teacher, mentor, and friend
Left to right: Prof. Asher Susser,Prof. Uzi Rabi, Prof. Itamar Rabinovich,Prof. Bernard Lewis, Prof. Eyal Zisser,and Prof. Shimon Shamir
The intimate gathering spoke of the influence of Bernard Lewis on the TAU campus, said Prof. Klafter, "the teacher and friend who the University welcomed for more than 30 years." Since traveling to TAU for a conference in 1971, Prof. Lewis has visited the Dayan Center annually, offering popular lecture series, mentoring students, and connecting with colleagues. In 1989, he established the Jenny and Harry Lewis Program in the Humanities, named in memory of his parents.
American Friends of Tel Aviv University President & CEO Gail Reiss also attended the ceremony. "The academic importance of this gift is obvious," she said, "but the inauguration had the wonderful feeling of a family affair. The admiration, respect, and friendship that the Dayan Center's professors and students feel for Bernard Lewis was unmistakable." Prof. Lewis was recently the guest of honor at a gala dinner in New York held by American Friends of Tel Aviv University, at which former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and other dignitaries lauded the historian's career.
According to Prof. Rabinovitch, TAU has been like a second home to Prof. Lewis, who remained at the University even as Israel was being attacked by Saddam Hussein's missiles in 1991 — a show of deep commitment to the country and school.
"I know he cherished the weeks at TAU and in Israel," Prof. Rabinovitch said at the ceremony. "Three generations of students have now benefitted from his wisdom, knowledge, warmth, and personal friendship." Though never a student of Prof. Lewis himself, he credited Prof. Lewis for teaching him much of what he knows, and reflected on their 40 year friendship, which included "long conversations on the Middle East, Israel, and any subject under the sun."

Campus Dining:
There are three main dining halls as well as a cafeteria in Reid Campus Center. Two of the dining halls serve the same/similar dishes but between the three you can almost always find something you like since each has ~3 options for every meal. Reid is also a popular option as well because it is open later and has more options. Reid and the cafe in the library (open 8 pm-1 am) both use flex spending.
Campus Dining:
Healthy option, could have more hours. Liked the midnight breakfast during finals.
Campus Dining:
The places around campus are surprisingly good for college dining halls. They offer a lot of healthy choices along with a vegetarian and vegan option at every meal. The only negative is that sometimes breakfast can get old but they do offer a freshly prepared egg line which sometimes can get crowded but worth it.
Campus Dining:
Catered by Bon Appetit, the food is usually really good, and the dining halls are all-you-can-eat. Bon App also makes an effort to be environmentally conscious with their food choices. The one downside is that, because it's a small school, there's not a lot of variety. Also, meal plans are pretty expensive.
Campus Dining:
For a small school, Whitman has a lot of options. There are 3 dining halls, and a cafe that offers a great way to mix up and get out of the dining hall. Overall the food is very healthy and there is always a lot to choose from.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Sara Rasmussen
Like most food made in large quantities, Whitman's food service has its moments of unusual, unidentifiable culinary intrigue, though for the most part, the food is delicious. Whitman offers three dining halls—Prentiss, Jewett, and Lyman—all of which are open at least five days a week. In addition to these, Whitman also offers meals from Café 66, located in Reid Campus Center. This café includes a grill, pizza oven, and a weekly option, called Fire and Spice, which is prepared in a wok and can range from stir-fry to fajitas. Since many Whitman students are health conscious, the dining halls make it convenient to eat healthily. Furthermore, there's a large conglomerate of vegetarian and vegan Whitties, so the dining halls always make an effort to provide for these students. In fact, if students have any special dietary requirements, Whitman is very good about ensuring that these are met. They also make an effort to meet students' demands for local, organic, and fair-trade ingredients.
Although meal plans tend to be expensive and are required for all freshmen and most sophomores, students pay for what they get—good food at a high price. Many students purchase plans with too many meals, but the most savvy purchase is a combination plan of meals and "Flex Dollars," which allow students to charge items from the various coffee carts around campus, Café 66, and the dining halls. Students occasionally give the on-campus food a rough review, but only because they haven't considered the reality that university students face. All in all, Whitman students are some of the best-fed.
