Getting Around
Walking is the best option when visiting the historic centre. Be careful when crossing roads: Rome's drivers are not especially careful of pedestrians.
- Operates from 05:30-23:30 (00:30 on Saturdays).
- 2 lines that connect at Termini and cross the city diagonally:
Linea A (red line) runs from Battistini to Anagnina and takes in the Vatican, the Spanish Steps, and the Via Cola di Rienzo shopping area.
Linea B (blue line) runs from Rebibbia to Laurentina, and takes in the Circus Maximus and the Colosseum.
- Main provider: ATAC.
- Most buses run to/from the station outside the Termini, and operate from around 06:00 to 00:00.
- Night buses are available (indicated by the owl logo on the front), until 05:00 (approx.)
- There are many services, so it is useful to obtain a transport map from the Termini or the bus station.
- In the historic centre there are electric buses (Monday to Saturday), which operate in an effort to reduce pollution (services 116, 117 and 119 incorporate the major sites).
Tickets are valid on both the metro and bus systems. Numerous ticket types available:
- B.I.T (Biglietto Integrato a Tempo): costs 1.00€ and is valid for 75 minutes from time of validation.
- B.I.G (Biglietto Integrato Giornaliero): costs 4.00€ and is valid until midnight on the day of validation.

- Tickets can be purchased from vending machines at Metro stops, tobacconists, and the SMA supermarket chain.
- Tickets must always be validated using one of the designated machines onboard the bus, or at the turnstiles in the Metro stations.
- Keep hold of your ticket at all times, as you may be asked to present it and fines are steep for those found without a validated ticket.
- There are 2 types of ticket in circulation (old and new style). Where possible purchase the new credit card shaped ticket with magnetic strip, as these are more commonly accepted.
- Taxis can be expensive and slow, as traffic tends to be heavily congested.
- If you are going to use taxis then make sure you only use licensed cabs from the ranks (yellow or white cabs).
- If you phone for a taxi, the meter starts from the moment the driver picks up the call (i.e. you pay for his journey to you, as well as your own journey).

Where to Stay
Whatever your budget, LateRooms has some great hotel deals to offer in Rome. From large hotels to small guest houses, modern and cosmopolitan, traditional and rustic, you will be spoilt for choice as LateRooms has over 500 Rome hotels.
LateRooms Tip
- The peak season runs from Easter to late October, when accommodation prices will be higher. Some of the best deals to be had are in the winter period, when many of the properties reduce their rates to their lowest levels.
- Many lodgings will also operate a two night minimum stay policy at weekends, especially smaller properties which would have difficulty letting rooms for the odd one night stay. Better deals can be found by choosing to stay a minimum of two nights or more.
Where to Eat
Rome is famous for its food and you will not be short of places to go and eat, whether you want a quick coffee and pastry in a pasticceria, ice cream in a gelaterie, or a meal in one of the many trattorias, pizzerias, or ristorantes that are dotted all over the city. The main restaurant area is Trastevere, but good, traditional restaurants can also be found in Testaccio and San Lorenzo (student district). It is also worth pointing out that restaurants and places to eat located by the major tourist attractions can often be pricey, and you may not necessarily experience the best of what Rome has to offer. Most restaurants close on at least one day of the week (often Monday), and between lunch and dinner. Advance reservations are normally advised in ristorantes, while at pizzerias and café style places you will simply need to queue if it is busy.

HANG FIRE is a steampunk short story set in late 1800's America. It takes place between the Age of Steam book #1, DEAD IRON and book #2 TIN SWIFT. The story is broken into 20 "chapters" and posted, one chapter at a time, on 20 awesome blogs. To read the whole story, start at chapter 1 at www.candacesbookblog.com (that's here!) and follow the "read the next chapter" links at the end of the post.
Sounds awesome right? Well here goes!
HANG FIRE – Chapter 1
They were being followed. Cedar Hunt thumbed the gear at the edge of his goggles, flipping a darker lens into place. He scanned the high, rocky hills, looking for a glint of sun off a gun barrel, listening for the shift of horse and leather against the scrub here on the eastern curve of the Oregon territory.
His curse would do him no good today. The beast the Pawnee had planted in his bones only came out at the full moon, and was no more than an unsettled anger now.
Still, it might be a fair bit easier to hear if an ambush were imminent if the Madder brother's wagon wasn't making enough noise for an entire troupe of tinkers. At least the brothers weren't drunk and singing. Yet.
"Trouble, Mr. Hunt?" Alun, the eldest Madder called out over the clatter of oddments stashed inside the big wagon pulled by their two draft horses.
"Not that I see," he answered.
All three of the brothers were miners. Short, bearded, bull-shouldered and tougher than the mountains they blasted their way through. They were rich too, from all the silver they dug out of Hallelujah, though a man wouldn't know it from the state of their clothing or belongings.
But only a fool would mistake them for anything other than clever. They had an eye for the Strange, a knack for measuring a man's soul, and a way with the wild sciences that had gotten Cedar out of–and into–too many tight spots.
He'd made them a promise to find a very dangerous weapon. Of course, he'd made a lot of promises lately.
"Mr. Hunt?" a softer voice called out.
Mae Lindson, the beautiful, sad-eyed widow urged the mule she was riding up ahead of the Madder's wagon so she could better talk to him. He'd promised to take her to the coven of her witch sisters, off Kansas way. He hoped to do so before she lost her mind to the madness the sisters had set upon her.
At the sight of her, his heart hammered hard and reckless. She was a need he'd found no fix for, a thirst he couldn't quench. And his desire had only grown stronger all their days on the trail.
"Mrs. Lindson," he said as she stopped just short of a comfortable distance. "Where's Rose?"
Rose Small, the young woman who rode with them looking for adventure in the big cities beyond the small town of Hallelujah was often at Mae's side. Even horseback, Rose tended to occupy herself with a bit of metal, cog and spring, making whimsical curiosities of metal. She had a deviser's quick fingers and quicker mind.
"I don't know," Mae said, her eyes gone cloudy with concern. "Rose disappeared."

Dead Iron (The Age of Steam #1) by Devon Monk
Welcome to a new America that is built on blood, sweat, and gears…

In this chaos, bounty hunter Cedar Hunt rides, cursed by lycanthropy and carrying the guilt of his brother's death. Then he's offered hope that his brother may yet survive. All he has to do is find the Holder: a powerful device created by mad devisers-and now in the hands of an ancient Strange who was banished to walk this Earth.
In a land shaped by magic, steam, and iron, where the only things a man can count on are his guns, gears, and grit, Cedar will have to depend on all three if he's going to save his brother and reclaim his soul once and for all…
Tin Swift (The Age of Steam #2) by Devon Monk
In steam age America, men, monsters, machines and magic battle to claim the same scrap of earth and sky. In this chaos, one man fights to hold on to his humanity–and his honor. . .
Life on the frontier is full of deceit and danger, but bounty hunter Cedar Hunt is a man whose word is his bond. Cursed with becoming a beast every full moon, Cedar once believed his destiny was to be alone. But now, Cedar finds himself saddled with a group of refugees, including the brother he once thought lost.
Keeping his companions alive is proving to be no easy task, in part because of the promise he made to the unpredictable Madder brothers—three miners who know the secret mechanisms of the Strange. To fulfill his pledge, Cedar must hunt a powerful weapon known as the Holder—a search that takes him deep into the savage underbelly of the young country and high into the killing glim-field skies defended by desperate men and deadly ships.
But the battles he faces are just a glimmer of a growing war stirring the country. To keep his word Cedar must navigate betrayal, lies, and treacherous alliances, risking everything to save the lives of those he has come to hold dear…

Is this all just Hype or poor translation.
Coming into contact with a Hollow will do WHAT? Why is Ishida still alive?
Is this all just Hype or poor translation.
Coming into contact with a Hollow will do WHAT? Why is Ishida still alive?
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Regarding Ishida, remember Inoue healed him. Inoue's healing ability reverses matter to it's original state, meaning not only would Ishida's wounds be healed but also remove any traces of a Hollow's power.
- the thing that he has that resisted Bach, can perhaps also resist the Hollow Virus/Poison/Power/Thing and all outer interference in total,
- Ishida is not a pure Quincy and thus already has antibodies,
- a certain amount of Ishida's internal organs were replaced with those made by Kurotsuchi, which quite likely also contained antibodies against Hollows,
- he was always healed by Orihime, which reverses events surpassing simple time manipulation and denying God's Will,
- he never made a direct contact with a pure hollow, since Arrancars already should have the Hollow part balanced a bit with their Shinigami part, thus disabling the poison,
- Ryuken came up with a vaccine that protect the Quincy and already injected it into his son while he was young, without telling him (I can see him dedicating quite a bit of his time to create something like that after what happened with Masaki),
- other.
What I'm more interested in is why Quincy doesn't have those antibodies in the first place, as well as if perhaps the Hollow's true purpose is to cleanse/eliminate foreign beings from the dimensions that are under the current SK, since it was already shown that some clans survived from the old world (like the Dog Clan). Similar thing could have been with the Quincy.
This would mean that Hollows are actually a biological weapons used to wipe out aliens, other worldly creatures and the like, while Shinigami simply exist to prevent this biological weapons from going out of control.
To sum things up its a 3 way ouroboro. Shinigami's Keep Hollows At Bay, Quncies Keep Shinigami at bay, and Hollow's Keep Quncies at Bay. I wonder if there was Arrancars in the first war, and that's why the Quncies lost. The SR, is a elite task force, that have special abillites, the other Quncies are just tools. Most of the Lower class died or abandon Bach besides the SR, and when Bach was sealed, the Quncies hid. I wonder Hollows, Shinigamis and Quncies were races that lived in Soul Society. Due to the "Great War" Shinigamis were the victors, and the Hollows were nothing but there "former-selves", and some Quncies fled to Earth while the Hollow fled to HM.
The only problem I have with this solution is that Quincy have tried to steal Ichigo's bankai and FAILED. It wasn't that they could do it but it was poison and they decided not to, they literally tried to steal it but were physically unable. There must be something else going on here, at least with respect to Ichigo's powers.
My name is Corey and I am an asshole.

The Saucony Guide 7 is a standard, daily running, support shoe designed for a moderate overpronated foot motion.
Take the support and cushioning you need for daily training and mix in a fast ride with the Saucony Guide 7. A full length PowerGrid insert soaks up impact and provides a responsive feel, while a dual density midsole combats overpronation. A breathable upper ensures a great fit, making the Guide 7 a great choice for any run, no matter the distance or pace.
Model Number:
Weight: 10.0 oz (size 9)
Stack Height: 28mm (Heel), 20mm (Forefoot)
Available Widths: D=Medium, 2E=Wide
How It Fits (based on width D)
The Guide 7 is a moderate featured, moderate support shoe designed for daily training and high mileage.
Comments: The Guides are a step down in stability from the Omni, and consequently have a much softer, cushier, more flexible feel; while still offering a good amount of support for we pronators- without feeling heavy. They're a pleasure to have on your feet. I run 50+ mpw and have used these for 5K races as well as 20+ mile road runs. The cushion let me really stretch out and pound the pavement in high speed running, and the stability stayed with me for long runs. At 10oz they're not the lightest shoes out there, but for a go-to trainer, they're faster feeling than most. The sole is great for the road, but doesn't have the bite for softer trail surfaces. I'd prefer it to be a little more grippy, and wasn't overly impressed at its hold on wet asphalt. As Saucony has figured out- 8mm drop is a nice balance for a lot of runners; definitely the goldilocks zone of not too much, not too little. This is one of those 'crowd pleaser' shoes that a whole lot of people will just be happy with. In comparison to the Brooks Ravenna- which is in the same class of shoe, I've found the Ravenna to be equally as supportive in the heal area, but a bit moreso in the forefoot. Not quite as soft and flexible as the Guide, but a bit more 'shoe' under you and a more rugged tread. I see RunningWarehouse has the PearlIzumi M3 listed as a comparable shoe. I find that those have a very different, very flat feel. You'd want to try them on before assuming that they are very similar. I'm a 135lb mid-foot striker and flat footed pronator. I've got about 200 mi on the shoe, and while it doesn't appear very worn, and the cushion is still quite good, the stability is noticeably less than when new.
From: Morey, Tucson, AZ, USA. September 15th 2014
Comments: I am an employee of Dick's Sporting Goods, but these opinions are my own. I was given these shoes from the local Saucony rep and have been training in minimalist shoes (Newton MV3 primarily). I planned to wear them in store only, but liked their feel. I ran in them the past two days and honestly am surprised how much I enjoy them.

Type: Improvement
Status: Closed
Priority: Major
Resolution: Fixed
Component/s: moodle.org
Right now when you edit you module description (or some field), you could make it inaccessible for other people (and not even know about it, since it will be accessible for you) for an undefined period of time. That's very bad: you add something by people's request ... and they see you module disappeared at all (no even warning that it's under moderation).
We all know that Moodle Team is a busy people and moderator couldn't approve every little change fast. So the system should step in their place. If there is an old, moderated version, it should be showed instead of new one. Or, at least, module shouldn't disappear from other people and unlogged in search, but show message that it's under moderation instead.

MDLSITE-571 Research a replacement for the modules and plugins database

- Links Hierarchy
Here is a partially complete patch that goes some way to fixing this problem.
What works:
- editing records leaves the old version visible to everyone, except you and teachers
- you and teachers see the new version in the 'view list' tab
- approving records deletes the old version and makes the new version visible to everyone
What does NOT work:
- the 'view single' tab displays the old version to teachers and to the person who edited it (when paging through all the entries)
- clicking on the record to jump straight into the 'view single' tab, displays the new record, but with the page selection broken
What this needs:
some clever SQL work, or better post-processing of the results after they are returned
possibly also needs an index adding to the 'replaces' field speed up searches
I'll look at it again later today, if I get a chance, but I thought posting this early version might help push the conversation on a little.
Davo - I'll see that patch as fast as I can, but unfortunately it's probably 3-5 days away.
However. I could try to write clever SQL faster if you tell me what you need, i.e. "I have tables X, Y and Z and I want to get ......" carefully describing what data and under which circumstances you want. That's faster than reviewing 14kb patch.
The clever SQL is the complex query already built by the standard view entries code, but removing any fields whose IDs are stored in the 'replaces' field of any of the other records that are returned by the initial query.
I'm not sure if it is possible to create a single SQL query that then removes results from itself based on other results that were returned by the original query (especially when limiting the number of returned records).
This is a fixed version of the initial patch I uploaded. It now seems to be working properly, but could do with a thorough code review and testing.
How it works:
- When you edit an approved record (as a student, with approval required), it creates a new record and sets the 'replaces' field to point at the original record (if such a record already exists, it just updates it)
- When viewing records, the SQL query has been changed to remove any records that are 'replaced' by other visible records (i.e. teachers / original authors have the original record hidden and the unapproved replacement shown instead; everyone else just sees the original record)
- When a replacement record is approved, the original content is deleted, the new content is updated to point at the old record, then the new record is deleted (this means that the URL pointing at the entry will stay the same, but that any user editing one of their entries at the same time as it is approved may get an error message).
Hope that the fix is sensible.
Clever is SQL is possible but would not be efficient on large databases. The problem is in data structure.
The best way to handle this would be actually to add new table "data_record_versions" instead of new field "replaces" which is hard to handle when there are a chain of replaces. userid, groupid and dataid should remain in data_record, time_created may too - time_modified and approved should be moved to the new table, and fields should use it's id, not from data_record.
Than you could easily build query to get latest approved version of record, or latest at all - just use GROUP BY with MIN (MAX) aggregation function.
OK, that sounds like a more sensible approach - I'll look into creating an amended patch that works a bit more like that.
One thing that isn't really needed is a chain of 'replaces' - there should only ever be a maximum of 2 versions: the 'approved' version that everyone can see, the 'pending' version that only teachers/originator can see.
Added our contributions coordinator Anthony as a watcher in case he'd like to comment.
Davo - Yes, if you don't have time to implement "versions" solution (which would have many other potential good uses), you could limit chain for 2: last approved and last at all (editing unapproved versions just erases previous unapproved one). Then you can easily filter them in both ways, since you could set "replaces" to NULL for one of them.
Oleg - that's more or less what the patch I've supplied does, except the filtering isn't quite that simple, as you need to find all the records that match your criteria (i.e. active search, current group, approval status - approved, not approved & owned by you, not approved) then find any which match your criteria AND have the 'replaces' variable set, then remove the items in the first list that are overwritten by the items in the second list.
For a student, just getting the records with 'replaces=0' will miss out any records they have edited themselves (and should be able to see, before approval).
For a teacher, just getting the records with 'replaces!=0' will miss out any records that are unchanged since they were last approved.
When I have time (not tonight) I'll try creating a patch which uses a 'data_version' table, but I'm a bit worried that it will require a big change during the upgrade process and will break the restoring of any old backups. The current patch should (subject to any bugs I've missed), cleanly work with any old records and old backup files (by exhibiting the old behaviour, until the entries are next approved).
Davo - right now Moodle 2.0 doesn't support 1.9 backups, so it's one of the best moments to break compatibility with them Thought 2.1 with it's module rework will break it eventually anyway. Versions could have many applications: for example it's easy to store multiple attempts with them, where teacher grades and gives comments what wrong, student change database record, gets graded once more etc - preserving full history. But it is major rework, so it's up to you whether you have time for it. Right now I am overburdened at work, but this could change later.
I'd prefer using NULL instead if 0 for replaces, than NOTNULL should be set to true for this column and there should be no default.
I could write SQL for teacher and student's cases, but it is already complex generation there, I don't want to make it more complicated. One idea how to simplify it is to have 3 possibilities for replaces
1. positive id - this item replaces another one with this id
2. zero or NULL - this item doesn't replaces another one and don't have replacements
3. negative id - this item has replacement (with this id)
Than it would be easy for you to identify both item that are replacement and those that have replacement, while now it is complex.
Oleg - here is a new version of the patch.
I've not implemented the 'versioning' system suggested, but I have taken on board your suggestion about using
replaces=NULL for unchanged records,
replaces=-id for records that are awaiting approval to be replaced by the record 'id' and
replaces=id for records that are awaiting approval to replace the record 'id'.
This has greatly simplified the SQL statement (I no longer need a r.id NOT IN [subquery] statement to get it to work).
I think this is all working, but here are the areas I've changed, in case I've missed something:
- viewing (to show original / new version as appropriate)
- editing (to create a provisional copy, if not edited by a teacher)
- deleting (to remove the original as well as the new version)
- backup/restore
- approval (to copy the data from the new version and then remove the 'new' record)
- RSS feed generation (to show replacement records if 'requires approval' is switched off)
One thought - on the back of this, would it be worth giving the teacher a 'revert' button, if they do not want to approve a particular change?
We could also do with a message 'this record is awaiting moderation - other users [cannot see it / will see the old version] until it is approved' (obviously only the appropriate version of that message would be displayed).
I won't attempt either of these extra changes until / unless the first set are agreed to.
I've not looked at the patches but it does look like some of the database fields like content2 content3 or content4 could be used for this purpose. It appears that lat/long field type is using content1. Peace - Anthony
Anthony, that affects all record, not just one field. And we can't be sure all these contentX fields won't be used by some field type now or later. The thing you recommended is a last resort when you have absolutely no time, but need to do work quickly.
The solution Davo implemented is better and more suited for not having problems with further development of database module.
Oleg - Absolutely, I was thinking of quick and easy patch without modification to the database which is certainly a short sighted fix. Long term solution is to add a field to the database. I had not looked at the patch but I do see that there is a new field created which would be helpful. With this functionality, a teacher could either approve the new data or rollback to the previous data. In any case, this would be an improvement to the database activity module and open up some interesting possibilities. Peace - Anthony
The patch I proposed works by adding a field to the 'data_records' table (to indicate that this record replaces/is replaced by another record) and then duplicating the 'data_content' entries for that record (filling them with the new data). On approval, the contents of the new 'data_content' entries are copied back over the originals and the new 'data_records' entry is discarded.
Based on your suggestion an alternative implementation would be to add 5 extra fields to the 'data_content' - 'content_new', 'content1_new', 'content2_new', 'content3_new', 'content4_new'. The 'new' entry could be stored in these, with the choice of showing the new/old version being based on the ownership / capabilities of the viewer.
This would get around the untidiness of creating a temporary record for unapproved entries, but does bloat the 'data_content' table a bit.
Obviously, at the moment only 'content' and 'content1' appear to be used (content1 appears to be used as a FORMAT_* field for 'textarea' entries), but this proposal will retain the flexibility for future use of the other fields, by other 'data_fields' types.
I hope that make sense (it gets very confusing talking about records and 'data_records' entries, about fields and 'data_fields' entries).
I've added Sam as a watcher so that he can take this into consideration in the specs for the improved Modules and Plugins system. The basic idea is that we hold on to and display any old data while an entry is awaiting re-approval by a moderator. Peace - Anthony
Resolving as fixed since http://moodle.org/plugins enables people to update their entries without them needing re-approving.

Find out why an under sink water filter is an eco-friendly, money-saving alternative to bottled water. Learn how under sink water filters work, and what you will need to install one. Plus, get water filtration tips for a home that uses well water.
LESLIE: Well, if you're a big drinker of bottled water, you may have noticed that the price never seems to go down and you might be ready for an alternative to the cost and all that waste.
TOM: But there are alternatives. You can save money and go green with an under-sink water filter. Richard Trethewey [1], the plumbing-and-heating expert for TV's This Old House [2] is here to explain.
Welcome, Richard.
RICHARD: Hey, guys.
TOM: It's good to see you again. And Americans, boy, we drink a lot of bottled water and those expenses can really add up.
RICHARD: You know, it's about a $6 billion-a-year industry, this bottled water.
TOM: Wow.
RICHARD: It is – there are a lot of those little bottles going around. And the rest of the planet uses about $29 billion. I mean it is a big industry. What is the Earth, two-thirds water?
TOM: Yeah.
RICHARD: We're going to drink it all sooner or later, so …
LESLIE: Right.
TOM: Now, why do people think that the water in those bottles is that much more cleaner than what comes out of their sink? There are regulations that water authorities have to follow.
RICHARD: Yeah. Right.
TOM: They're respected all the time.
RICHARD: Right.
TOM: The water in this country, for the most part, is pretty darn good.
RICHARD: That's right. We feel like we can trust in this country – when you go to a faucet, you at least feel, if it's a municipal water supply, that that water is trustworthy. But what's happened is people, I think, are still nervous. There's a few things I think every house will have, sooner or later. One is water filtration [3], both under the sink and potentially coming into the building. A couple of solar panels will be on the roof, I think, on most houses.
TOM: Right. Mm-hmm.
RICHARD: And I think every house will have some sort of way to bring fresh air into the building, some sort of mechanical ventilation device.
TOM: Yeah, that makes sense.
RICHARD: Those are the three things I think …
TOM: We're all feeling that much more health-conscious.
RICHARD: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
TOM: Well, in terms of the sink filters themselves, there are a number of different types of filter technologies out there.
RICHARD: Yeah.
TOM: Talk to us about how they actually work. And which ones are most effective?
RICHARD: The most common one, by far, is a thing called "granulated activated carbon." That is the – it's a carbon-block filter and the water goes through it. Carbon is a great filter to get taste and odor under control.
If that's what you're trying to do, just to sort of cosmetically clean up that water for taste and odor, you can't beat a granulated activated carbon filter.
TOM: Now, is that under-sink? It's an under-sink filter.
RICHARD: Yeah, most of these are under-sink.
RICHARD: You have to decide: "Am I trying to deal with the whole house? Am I trying to deal with the water that I drink?" And so, in most cases, there's so much water coming into the house that you're going to use for bathing and for toilets. You really don't often have to do a whole-house filter [4]. You've really got to think about that water that people are going to drink with, cook with or to make ice cubes with.
LESLIE: Cook with.
RICHARD: And so, under-the-sink filter is what most people should have and do have.
LESLIE: Mm-hmm. And is that something that you can do yourself, as far as installation?
RICHARD: They have made the installation pretty darn easy nowadays. You're still dealing with plumbing, so you've got to make sure you turn the water off and make those connections. But so many of them are these really do-it-yourself-able connections.
First of all, you – if you want to have a separate spigot at the sink, you have to use one of the holes that are on the sink. You have to drill a new hole so you have that separate spout coming out for your filtered water.
TOM: Right. Mm-hmm.
RICHARD: Some people will do it on the cold water going to the faucet and do everything out of sight. I like to have a dedicated faucet where I know that that's the water I can trust. And that's what I go to.
And then you mount it underneath the kitchen cabinet [5]. We've done it on This Old House, Ask This Old House a couple times. They should be maintained. The ironic thing is the better the filter is …
TOM: The less maintenance you need?
RICHARD: No, the more.
TOM: Oh, really.
RICHARD: The more it'll clog, meaning – so it has a better filter.
TOM: Oh, interesting.
RICHARD: And so people will say, "Oh, that thing's clogged in." Well, guess what? That means it took out a lot of stuff that would have – you would have been drinking.
TOM: Right.
LESLIE: Mm-hmm. And not even known about.
RICHARD: That's right.
TOM: Right. Yeah, yeah.
RICHARD: So, you really – you've got to look at it the right way. That if it's doing its job, sooner or later it's going to clog and that stuff, you avoid it. If you put one in that's got such low filtration capacity, you'll never have to maintain it but you might as well not have done it.
LESLIE: So is the clog the indicator that the filter needs to be changed? Or do some of these fixtures have maybe a light that comes on or something that will tell you now is the time to change the filter?
RICHARD: It's going to clog. I haven't seen any fancy – I'm sure there's a few on the market that have sort of some filter – or you could do it on time. But I think you're going to see that there's a drop-off in the performance because that filter media is getting more and more clogged with particulates that we would have drank.
TOM: We're talking to Richard Trethewey. He's the plumbing-and-heating expert on TV's This Old House.
Richard, one of the common complaints that people have about water is this sort of rotten-egg smell that comes from water [6]. Can that be solved with a filter?
RICHARD: Well, that's sulfur and that is usually an indication that something else is going on in your system.
RICHARD: And what we most often find when you have that sulfur complaint, it's usually on hot water. And it is that inside of the water heater, down in your basement or wherever it is – inside that tank, there's an anode rod – a sacrificial anode rod – that is taking the electrolysis that would have eaten the tank and becoming sacrificial to it.
Now, if that anode rod fails, sooner or later you're going to start getting hydrogen sulfide in the water because it's really the beginning of the breakdown of the tank. So it means that you should think about changing that water heater [7]; it's beginning to give that sulfur smell.
TOM: So that's a good point.
RICHARD: That's right.
TOM: So if you actually tried to deal with it with a filter, you might, in effect, be masking (inaudible at 0:26:45).
RICHARD: You might mask it but sooner or later, that basement is going to be flooded.
LESLIE: Mm-hmm. And I think you know what we're talking about, this entire under-sink filtration system. Generally, we're talking about municipal water supply.
RICHARD: Yeah, yeah.
LESLIE: What about well water? Are you able to filter that, as well, or is that a whole different animal?
RICHARD: You don't have any idea what the water is coming out of the ground. You don't know where your neighbor's septic system is in relation to the water, so I think you can't filter the water enough when you're coming out of the ground with a well. So, potentially, you're going to have a whole-house iron removal, you're going to have some sort of prefilter for the water coming through. And then by the time you get to the kitchen sink, you want to be sure to have a granulated activated carbon filter.
TOM: And that is definitely a pro project. You've got to test that water and build the filtration system around what you find, correct?
RICHARD: Yeah, yeah. Yeah. There's a lot of great pros in the water-quality [8] industry in this country. You've just got to find a local guy that knows what they're doing.
TOM: Good advice. Richard Trethewey, the plumbing-and-heating expert on TV's This Old House, helping us keep our water clean, safe and smelling nice.
RICHARD: I'm thirsty.
LESLIE: Alright. You can catch the current season of This Old House and Ask This Old House on PBS. For local listings and step-by-step videos of many common home improvement projects, visit ThisOldHouse.com.
TOM: And This Old House and Ask This Old House are brought to you by GMC. GMC, we are professional grade.

Leafs POSTGAME - Penalties, penalties, penalties: Columbus beats Leafs 5-2
Cam Charron
October 25 2013 08:54PM
Wonder how that Indiana-Dallas game turned out?
I'm sorry in advance if this game recap misses key information. In the second period, right after Toronto tied it up, a large intruder walked into my home and knocked me over the head with a large, heavy object. I was knocked out for much of the second period, and awoke to find my intruder gone and miraculously, he hadn't taken anything valuable from my apartment. I did miss most of the second period, however. Perhaps he was from the Illuminati.
Toronto limped into Columbus Friday night with yet another key injury, and limped out a little slower after the Maple Leafs managed to be defeated by the friggin Blue Jackets. If there was a theme to the game that wound up being David Clarkson's debut, it was the parade to the penalty box as the Leafs just couldn't keep their sticks away from Blue Jacket players. The Leafs again were out-shot heavily, 15-5 after the first period and 36-25, but were in the game for long enough that the ending was in doubt until Ryan Johansen's empty-net goal in the final minute.
Final score, 5-2, after a snack goal on the part of Nick Foligno. Not a pretty road performance.
Hard to know where to begin here. I guess I tuned into the game late, just as Clarkson took that first penalty, and we got to see Ryan Murray score his first ever NHL goal against the Leafs. Jonathan Bernier was very strong all the way through to the end of the period and held the Leafs in the game, enough so that Phil Kessel was able to score his sixth on a centering pass from Tyler Bozak (maybe it wasn't a pass. he was just sort of banging at it).
I don't know if the Leafs just wore down of if Columbus is just a better team. The Jackets scored early in the third, one of their four goals in the frame. This time it was Marian Gaborik banging home a gift in front Nick Foligno, who made Paul Ranger look less like a potential top four NHL defenceman on this shift:
The Leafs got a 4-on-3 midway through the period. First, Nazem Kadri and Daulton Prout went off at the same time for tripping and interference minors. Just 61 seconds later, Fedor Tyutin tripped Jay McClement and the Leafs got a decided space advantage. It worked against the Leafs. Brandon Dubinsky went on an end-to-end rush, wisely holding onto the puck coming out of his zone rather than clear the puck down the ice, and caught the Leafs somewhat on a change.
I agree with Anthony Petrelli here:
I guess everyone's natural instinct now is to go on Twitter & blame someone for a goal. Come on, Dubinsky ripped that, it was a great shot.— Anthony Petrielli (@APetrielli) October 26, 2013
It was a heck of a play by Dubinsky and a great shot, with no chance for Bernier or for Cody Franson, the lone man back from the Leafs.
All looked lost then, until David Bolland banged home a rebound in front for his fourth, but then he took a penalty on his next shift and the Jackets let the clock wind down. Ryan Johansen eventually scored an empty-net goal, and Foligno scored a 5-2 goal for good measure to close the Leafs out.
4:16 David Clarkson (Hooking)
8:07 Nazem Kadri (Cross checking)
11:54 Morgan Rielly (Holding)
24:53 David Bolland (Hi-sticking)
33:40 Morgan Rielly (Tripping)
39:51 Nazem Kadri (Hooking)
57:09 David Bolland (Tripping)
Pretty much it. The Maple Leafs took seven penalties, and no matter how good your penalty kill is that's going to be an issue. The Leafs wound up giving up 9 shots on those penalty kill situations. 9 shots in 11:32 of 4-on-5 time is actually pretty solid, but 11:32 is simply playing with fire. Columbus didn't score on any of their powerplay chances after the first, but the subsequent Leafs penalties really hindered their ability to play offence.
Bolland and Clarkson both took costly penalties, but them with McClement was the best line the Leafs had on the night, generating some great zone time. All three players had a Corsi For% of above 50%, and they saw a lot of ice-time as Randy Carlyle's primary defensive zone option. McClement also wound up playing 21:37, a team-high among forwards.
- Cody Franson and Morgan Rielly saw more ice time than Dion Phaneuf and Carl Gunnarsson, which is curious.
According to ExtraSkater.com's recap, Phaneuf was mostly matched up against the Gaborik line while Franson saw the Dubinsky line with Cam Atkinson.
- I thought Atkinson was the most dangerous Blue Jacket. Six shots on goal despite not scoring, and the Jackets out-shot Toronto 12-7 with him on the ice at 5-on-5.
- The Leafs have been struggling at the dot this season. Again, just 23-44 tonight, for a 34% rate. Doubt this is why they're getting out-shot so badly, but it can't help.
- Tough night for Bernier, stopping 31-of-35. After his workload this week, have to imagine it's James Reimer tomorrow in Pittsburgh.
Cam great call for being the first to point out the regression of the leafs high SH%, which showed up right on queue in the game tonight against the jackets just like you have been predicting.
I see many main stream media writers and hockey commentators are taking/imitating your work on SH% and some of your other work Corsi and PDO. Too bad that you don't get any credit for much of the work you have completed in discovering, developing and championing the use of advanced statistics pretty much all by yourself for these past few years.
That said, after this game, I have to 100% agree with you as it is pretty clear that the leafs are not a good hockey team and now are finally regressing and will totally collapse and miss the playoffs after the fluke season of last year.
October 26 2013, 09:54AM
I have a bad feeling about this season with how this team played. I was hopeful and optimistic given Carlyle's ability to control shot quality and defy regression last season but it seems his luck has run out. And even Phaneuf and Kessel look to be a core part of the leafs possession problem along with Bernier who is a complete failure after his fluke hot start.
I wish Nonis listened to Cam and took his postings more seriously during the off season. The leafs had one lucky single shortened season but based on that success have made a series of moves that will impair them going forward. Changes like extending Nonis, Bozak, Orr and Mclaren, then trading for Bernier and signing Clarkson and retaining Liles on the payroll while buying out Grabbo and letting Eakins walk. Even letting Kostka walk and signing Ranger up looks like a terrible move.
These moves will impair the leafs for years to come and ensure they continue their cellar dwelling/non playoff tradition.
It's, what, late October? Leaves fall this time of year.
As for the grammatically incorrect "Leafs" the trend is negative. Down.
There was nothing positive in these 60 minutes of 'work' against the Blue jackets. Nothing.
Good luck against the Penguins.

I'm sorry about the food poisoning. I know what that's like, thanks to Cracker Barrel. They forever ruined chicken and dumplings for me :P

I've had the exact opposite of food poisoning today, and as a consequence, can hardly type thanks to the twin quintet of parsnip-like fleshblobs bulging from my palms.
I do have half a pyjama, however (plus a fleece, because it's so cold).
Go edits.

I've never actually been to Panda Express. And now I never will. Also, just noticing this, why is comment text in Courier while you type it, and then it's changed to Mystery Font? Why can't it be MF* all the way!

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Jan Hess from the American Legion auxiliary #42 requested a donation from the Emery County Commission for Operation Home Support. She along with members of the Ferron auxiliary began the project in April of 2004. They send packages to soldiers overseas who are residents of Emery County or who have loved ones in the county. People submit the soldiers names and addresses to the auxiliary and they take it from there. They have served 60 soldiers since the beginning and currently have 19 soldiers on the list to send a Christmas package, too.
They send out six-seven packages a year at holidays and Veteran's Day to each of the 19 soldiers.
Some of the soldiers they have sent to are on their second or third tour of duty and some of them have arrived safely back home.
Random packages without names cannot be sent and homemade baked items cannot be sent. A soldiers name must be on the package. The auxiliary has been involved in a number of fund raisers to get funds to mail out the items. The have held bake sales, yard sales and other events. They also place donation boxes out to collect the items to send. Some of the items include packaged goodies, music CDs, socks, pictures, books and other items the soldiers need.
Hess said they had a booth at the Emery County Fair where they took donations for the project. They are down to the end of their funds now with the Veteran's Day boxes that just went out depleting what they had left.
They include a personal letter to the soldier in each box. The letters are written by the ladies in the auxiliary. They have received many thank yous from the soldiers who have received the boxes. One picture had the soldier holding the box he received with a big smile on his face. The ladies try to include different items in the boxes each time.
For the Christmas boxes they are making fleece hats and blankets to include. The fleece was purchased at Pats Sew- n-Stuff where she gave the material for cost for the worthy cause. For Christmas they have 19 soldiers they are preparing boxes to be shipped.
Commissioner Gary Kofford commended Hess and her associates for the job they are doing with the Operation Home Support boxes.
Ray Petersen said he has a son in Iraq and the boxes from home are priceless for these soldiers.
Some of the soldiers don't ever receive any letters or packages from home. Hess said many of the soldiers they send to share their boxes with the other soldiers. Medic Rick Kollar from Elmo who was one of the recipients of boxes on his tour of duty, requested to meet the auxiliary ladies who had been sending packages. The auxiliary ladies arranged a pot luck dinner so Kollar and his ladies could meet. They had a nice visit and he expressed his appreciation for the packages.
Rick said in a letter, "I so much appreciate my nice packages from the Ferron ladies and the nice pictures you send. We put the pictures on the cork board."
When the auxiliary ladies heard that some of the soldiers never receive anything, they asked for these soldiers names so they could be included for a package.
"I know they appreciate what we are doing and what we are trying to accomplish. It just breaks your heart, that some of these soldiers never receive anything from home. There are soldiers who rarely receive mail. Rick let us know of three soldiers who never got a letter or a package and we hurried and put together a Christmas box for those who never have mail. We also prepared Christmas cards for those men who hadn't received anything," said Hess.
Commissioner Jeff Horrocks made a motion to donate $500 to the Operation Home Support to help with the Christmas boxes.
"It's all for our boys right here from Emery County," said Horrocks.
Operation Home Support is in need of continued funding to keep the packages going to the soldiers to help maintain their morale and assure them they aren't forgotten.
The postage for the boxes being shipped adds up fast and funds are soon used up. The auxiliary would like the support of the county residents in maintaining this program to support the troops.
Anyone who would like to donate money or items to the cause should contact Jan Hess at 384-2753 or Dixie Swasey at 384-3172. Leave a message and they will get back to you.

Where are the diabetic exchanges?
DEAR PEGGY: I am curious to know why some recipes give diabetic exchanges while others do not. —M.R., Portsmouth, New Hampshire
We require all of our recipes to be lower in calories, fat, saturated fat and sodium than their traditional counterparts. Recipes that have diabetic exchanges are held to an even stricter standard in those areas. In addition, we consider the amount of carbohydrates per serving before adding diabetic exchanges. Diabetics not only have to be judicious about the amount of carbohydrates in the foods they eat, but they're also at a higher risk for heart disease, which means limiting fat, saturated fat and sodium is even more important.

The American Red Cross will be in Orangeville to collect blood on May 21 from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. The blood drive will be held at Emery Telcom, 455 East Highway 29.
According to Joe Black, donor recruitment representative for Central Utah, "In Utah, someone needs blood every eight minutes. In Utah, the Red Cross serves 31 hospitals, including Castleview Hospital in Price and must collect about 440 units of blood every day to meet the demand."
There is no substitute for blood, it can only be collected from voluntary donors and the demand is constant. Black explained that an accident can require anywhere from four to 40 units of blood, cancer treatments take two-six units and even a premature baby birth can use one-four units of blood.
Barbara Rasmussen is the blood drive coordinator for the Red Cross blood drive on May 21. Call her at (435) 748-2223 to make an appointment. Walk-ins are welcome but donors with appointments will receive priority.
Individuals unable to donate blood can still make a contribution by organizing a Red Cross blood drive or volunteering. To find the nearest blood drive to you at other times call 1-800-REDCROSS or visit redcrossblood.org.
The American Red Cross provides relief to victims of disasters at home and abroad, collects and distributes nearly half of the nation's blood supply, teaches lifesaving skills, and supports military members and families. American Red Cross Blood Services, Lewis and Clark Region, provides approximately 215,000 units of blood to over 110 hospitals in Utah, Idaho, and Montana each day. For additional information, please visit redcrossblood.org.

The Local Emergency Preparedness Committee hosted an emergency preparedness fair at the Spartan Center at Emery High School on Oct. 8. This fair presented an abundance of valuable information for families to become prepared in the event of an emergency or disaster.
Many booths were set up to educate visitors to the dangers that are present in every day life and how to avoid becoming a victim. Other booths provided information and products to help people survive an unexpected tragedy.
In the parking lot of the Spartan Center, Utah County's HazMat trailer presented a demonstration concerning explosives. Their robots, which are used in retrieving explosive materials, were on display and the officers answered all questions and provided educational materials to help educate parents and children about how to avoid being hurt by explosives.
Castle Dale fire fighter Jerimy West was also set up in the parking lot in one of Castle Dale's fire trucks. He displayed the equipment a fire fighter uses for fighting fires. The young people were allowed to hold and try on all the equipment to get an idea of what the job of fire fighter would entail.
Sgt. Martin Wilson and Deputy Shaun Bell were also on hand with a demonstration of the CERT (certified emergency response team) and their equipment.
Booths inside the Spartan Center were presented by: Emery County School District, Utah Power, Emery Telcom, Emery Medical Center, Emery County Chamber of Commerce, Hometown Market, ALCO, Boy Scouts, the Red Cross, Emery Animal Health, Questar, Alison's Pantry, Boyd's Pharmacy, Magnuson Lumber, Flashlights, Shadow Mtn. Water, and the Southeastern Utah Health Department.
Marilyn Hoffman, The Earthquake Lady, had a booth set up and gave a presentation. She explained to everyone present what is expected to happen during an earthquake and how families and business can become prepared. Utah is situated on a fault line and earthquakes are a matter of when not if.

The villa is perfect for 6-8 persons. We were 6 persons. There is not very much space in the kitchen, but it is quite cheap to visit the local restaurants, so it is not a real problem. The pool and the pool area was very much appreciated by all of us. The villa is located in a nice and quiet area. Stelios is very helpful.
Villa Mercedes was just perfect for our stay, we were 2 families of 4 and each of us had its own privacy. The house is spacious, clean, fully equipped (air conditioning in each room, 4 bathrooms, wifi, spacious kitchen a nice front garden with herbs), with 3 plus: private swimming pool on top of the property, with a great view over the surrounding hills and the sea, the shaded patio just outside the kitchen (we always took our meals there) and the barbecue. The location is very nice, completely out of touristy ways but close to nice beaches, Stelios and all of the equipe were very helpful through the booking process and the stay as well. Overall, we had a great stay and I will definitely mark this property should I go back to Crete!
Een prachtig huis met 5 slaapkamers en 4 badkamers. Een heel fijn groot zwembad! Alles was heel netjes en bij aankomst was de koelkast gevuld met de eerste benodigdheden. Erg vriendelijke eigenaar.
Het huis ligt vrij afgelegen waardoor een auto huren wel echt nodig is.
Chania is een mooie grote stad waar je heerlijk kunt winkelen en eten. Wij waren met 11 personen voor eten met voor-en hoofdgerecht en drank ongeveer €150.00 kwijt.
Schöne, gepflegte Villa mit atemberaubender Aussicht. 5 Sterne würde es geben, wenn auch noch WLAN verfügbar wäre. Kann man aber bedenkenlos weiterempfehlen.

First off, thanks for providing such an excellent Web site, particularly when it comes to your discussion of toilets. There seems to be this conspiracy of embarrassment about toilets, which is frustrating because we use the darn things every day. And it's a total drag when they don't work!
Anyway. We currently have a Toto toilet. I don't know the age or model, but I'm presuming it dates back to the early days of water saving legislation. And it's really really bad. Usually need two flushes to clean things out and it churns up the surface of the water.
So. We're looking for something new, but are a bit wary about Toto now. Would you say that their product quality has improved over the past ten years?
Second question - I noticed you don't seem to list a lot of toilets like the Toto Pacifica with concealed trapways. Are there performance reasons for this? Or is the difference purely aesthetic and for cleaning convenience?
Thanks again for the great site.

Despite the Twilight movies being complete drivel, the first one was the only decent one in my opinion, the cast seem like some real cool cats. Sharkboy and Cedric Diggory are A-OK in my book. Kristin Stewart's a beauty too, really hope she can get better roles after this debacle is over.
I would totally watch this version. For what it's worth it looks a lot less melodramatic than the actual product.
