Adey MagnaClean Professional 22mm Filter
Features and Benefits:
Why have MagnaClean?
We live in an age of high efficiency boilers, but for many years little attention has been placed on the cleanliness of central heating systems.
The majority of systems suffer from black iron oxide contamination, which creates thick sludge deposits that are the result of corrosion taking place within radiators and other metallic components. The oxide particles can range from very large to sub-micron, with the latter leaching into the system water continuously during use. These particles bond to all components, often causing premature failure of pumps and valves. When they contaminate the boiler heat exchanger and pipework, dramatic efficiency losses result. Tests have shown that even a minimal build up results in a serious drop in boiler efficiency!
The Magnaclean filter will provide many years of protection, maintaining the high efficiency of your heating system, resulting in financial benefit and increased reliability, and is backed by a two year limited guarantee.
How it Works
MagnaClean Professional has been carefully designed to remove particulate from suspension, whilst allowing 100% flow rate at all times.
Installation is simple, with each isolation valve rotating through 360°C, supporting any number of location options. These valves have been specially designed for use with Magnaclean and have high quality P.T.F.E seals.
An added advantage to installers is the 'Pro-Fill' air vent built in to the lid. This special vent incorporates a unique one-way valve, allowing the installer to inject corrosion inhibitor chemicals directly into the Magnaclean without the need to isolate anything. Just remove the air vent screw, inject the chemical and replace the air vent screw. Simple!
Magnaclean® is a powerful, compact magnetic filter with a unique swirl chamber designed to remove 100% of suspended Iron Oxide and other particulate from the water circulating through the heating system. Unlike typical Y-strainer filters which clog up and experience a dramatic reduction in flow performance, Magnaclean® maintains full flow rates at all times, and is so powerful it will retain at least 50X the amount of debris on its easily removed sheath. The incredibly tough 'Glass fibre reinforced Nylon' shell is almost unbreakable.
Incorporated into the lid is a special air vent, which allows installers to quickly and easily add corrosion inhibiting chemicals without the need to isolate the filter. Simply unscrew the vent nipple (one-way valve shuts off), connect the chemical adaptor (supplied with all concentrates) and introduce the liquid directly into the heart of Magnaclean, where it will quickly disperse into the circulating water. Replace the vent. Job done!
Initially available to suit 22mm pipe work. A twin 300mm high unit built onto a special plinth is available, that has been specifically designed for installers who Power-Flush systems, to prevent contaminants released during the flushing process from entering the heating boiler.

Must cheaper to buy and fit rather than the British Gas quotation for the same product!
Good purchase, should have one fitted on every system.
The dirt collection was unbelievable.
A high quality,effective product,much recommended by my installing engineer and here available at an attractive price.
Very good item if you want to prolong your boiler life you should always fit a magna clean as it prevents muck entering the heat exchanger because no matter how well you chemically or power flush you will still have some muck left in it
This MagnaClean is deffinetly worth every penny, in just as short time it has collected allot of gunk from my pipes as they are quite old. I will definetly recommend this product to everyone!
great price, delivered quickly and no hassle to fit.
It was a joy to install. 100% happy
The Magna filter was competitively priced and arrived within a couple of days. It was easily fitted and I would definitely recommend plumb world to a friend
Fitted the maganaclean and in a hurt space of time it had cleaned a signicant amount of gunge from the system.First clas service and a firsst clas product.
Great product, very efficient.
You get what you pay. I like buying quality products and this is something I would definitely recommend to my clients.
fitted magnaclean after replacing 2 heating pumps due to contamination. seems easy to fit and service.hope it does its job.
Very impressed with the result of flushing out the central heating system. It collected a lot debris from the pipes. It's a very good build and easy to use.
An excellent product.
Basically the Magnaclean is a sensible option to fit on any CH system. My collecting any deposits in your radiator system you are potentially saving yourself from grief. We had a new boiler and decided to install a Magnaclean at the same time.
Up to date it dose what it says on the tin.it has been in operation for 3 weeks , been dissmantled twice both occasions sludge build up found on magnet.
Fitted well, all parts included were a dream to use. Well reputated and easy to use bit of kit!

The Gashimov Memorial attracts some elite players
The Gashimov Memorial tournament which is being held in Shakmir, Azerbaijan, from April 20 to 30, has attracted some elite players, including world champion Magnus Carlsen. Vugar Gashimov passed away in January, and was of the of the brightest talents in Azerbaijan.
The Gashimov tournament is divided into two groups. In addition to Carlsen 2881, the A group consists of Caruana 2783, Sergey Karjakin 2772, Hikaru Nakamura 2772, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov 2760 and Teimour Radjabov 2713. The B group consists of five top players from various countries, and the rest from the home country of Azerbaijan.
After four rounds, Carlsen and Caruana are leading the tournament. The two played a Berlin defence in the Ruy Lopez with Carlsen managing the black pieces. Readers would recall that the Berlin was popular in the Anand-Carlsen world championship match in November. Caruana outplayed the world champion which doesn't happen often for him or other players.
Carlsen made an error giving Caruana a pawn which he proceeded to convert with immaculate precision. The world champion previously stopped both Mamedyarov and Nakamura, the US champion, making him equal first with Caruana on 2.5 points.
Chess games
The following games were played at the 2014 Gashimov Memorial Tournament in Azerbaijan. The 'A' group features six of the strongest chess players in the world, with an average FIDE rating of 2780. The participants are all below the age of 30. The tournament is in progress.

Renewal of Personal Licences: The requirement to renew a personal licence after ten years is no longer necessary from 1 April 2015 following Government deregulation. There will, however, be a requirement for the personal licence holder to notify the Licensing Authority of any relevent or foreign offence.
|Personal Licence
All sales of alcohol must be made by, or under the authority of, a Personal Licence Holder. Not everyone who makes a sale has to hold a Personal Licence, as long as a Personal Licence Holder has authorised the sale. This does not apply to Qualifying Clubs or premises operating under a Temporary Event Notice (TEN).
You may decide to become a Personal Licence Holder if you want to apply for more than five TENs a year.
You must normally apply for your Personal Licence to the Council in whose district you live. If you do not live in the United Kingdom, you can apply to any Council that issues Personal Licences.
Other fees include:
You may pay in person or over the phone (01225 477531) using a credit or debit card. Please note that although there will be no charge for debit cards, there will be an additional charge of 2.5 % for credit card payments. You may also pay by cheque (made payable to "B&NES Council").
Please be aware we are not able to accept cash payments.
Eligibility Criteria
You can apply for a Personal Licence if you:
Applications must be in a specific format and be accompanied by all of the following:
1. The fee.
2. A completed Disclosure of Convictions and Declaration form.
This form is a declaration that you have not been convicted of a relevant offence or a foreign offence, or, if you have been convicted of a relevant/foreign offence, gives details of the nature and date of the conviction and any sentence imposed. A relevant/foreign offence that is spent within the terms of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 need not be declared.
3. One of the following Criminal Records Certificates:
The certificate must be dated no earlier than one calendar month before your application is received by Licensing Services.
4. The original or a certified copy of the Level 2 National Certificate for Personal Licence Holders.
This qualification can be obtained from any of the following providers:
5. Two photographs
These must be:
One of these photographs must be endorsed with a statement verifying the likeness of the photograph to the applicant by a solicitor, notary, a person of standing in the community or any individual with a professional qualification
6. Right to Work
From 6 April 2017, anyone that apples for a Personal Licence must provide proof that they are eligible to reside and work in the UK.
Please see the guidance notes attached to the Personal Licence application form for further information about acceptable documentation.
Application Form
Forms are available on the following webpage:
There is no consultation process.
However, if you have an unspent conviction for a relevant or foreign offence, we will notify the Police that you have applied for a Personal Licence. They will have 14 days to object to the application.
If they believe the granting of a Personal Licence will undermine the crime prevention objective, they can make an objection against the application.
If we receive an objection from the Police, we will arrange a hearing with the Licensing Sub Committee, who will decide whether to grant the Personal Licence.
If the application is valid, and you do not have any unspent convictions for a relevant or foreign offence, we will issue your Personal Licence.
Tacit Consent
|Tacit consent applies. This means that you will be able to act as though your application is granted if you have not heard from the local authority by the end of the 60 day target completion period.
Right of Appeal
Please contact Licensing Services in the first instance.
No conditions are attached to the Personal Licence.
A Personal Licence is valid from the date it was issued and portable throughout England and Wales. No renewal will be necessary, but licence holders must inform the Licensing Authority of any change of name or address or of any relevant conviction.
Guidance notes are available on the following webpage:
Personal Licence holders should also read the attached document:

I haven't been to one game yet. Not in a stadium, bar, or friend's apartment. Not at my High School for homecoming or while in a waiting room or diner, where there are 6 flat screens but still no perfect view. I don't have a TV of my own yet (new apartment) and definitely wouldn't look for video online. Football season is ON, yes, but at this point, I remain pretty oblivious to the activity.
This is not to say I'm not interested. I am. Just busy. Next month, I'm going in!!
For lots of people I know for whom football is a huge passion, Football Season is already in full swing. The newly chilled October air, the crowds, the close calls, the rivalries, the last minute victories, the beer, cheerleaders, touchdown victory dances, tailgate parties and, if you're a player, the thrill of getting on that field in front of all the aforementioned to Bring. It. Home. Football...
Sports in general (to which I can relate) and football in particular are a tremendous way to bond with family and form the kinds of relationships with friends that feel familial. I've recently and very gratefully been in touch with my former middle and high school gym teacher, Coach Mark Collelouri. He was one of my favorite teachers and remains a special, inspirational person in my life. I have very positive memories of playing sports under his eye, training in the weight room with his football and baseball players (he coached both teams), so much enjoying just being one of the guys, and always knowing he was one of my biggest supporters throughout my life both on and off the field. I was close to his father, Mario, and was getting to know his son, Tommy, so much the pride and joy of Coach C's life.
Tommy had a very special relationship with his Grandpa Mario. Back in the Summer of 2000, after Tommy was named a 2nd Team All American in football as selected by Bigger Faster Stronger, a publication in the field of athletics, strength and conditioning, he wrote a piece for the BFS Journal titled inspired by their relationship.
"His Words of Confidence Live On" is a tribute to Mario's role in Tommy's development as an athlete and man. I asked Coach C if I could repost it, since the piece made me realize how important it is to remember and celebrate the wisdom of our elders, but also because of the very specific message, which is, it takes ONE PERSON to believe in somebody 100% and truly change the course of his/her existence. Just ONE PERSON to make an indelible impression and offer those words with just the right amount of faith and encouragement.
As a writer, teacher of intenSati (a fitness practice that uses spoken affirmations and places tremendous value on the importance of positive, inspirational language), and reader, I can be very (perhaps too) attached to words. I love words yet words are just the start of an idea or a sentiment. But what is beneath or beyond the words? Without love behind the words, for instance, they can seem so empty. Without strong intention, the meaning could get lost...
Yet, if there is love and no expression or communication through words, sometimes it just isn't enough. We have words for a reason. A wonderful reason! Poetry, prose, songs -- a simple I Love You -- are here as ways to express what is felt. We can be grateful to those who put into words what we sometimes cannot.
With that, I share with you Tommy's piece in its entirety, reposted with permission from his dad. :) I hope you find it as inspiring as I do, both for the experience and way it's communicated.
HiS WORDS OF CONFIDENCE LIVE ON
By Tom Collelouri, BFS 2nd Team All-American
Published: Summer 2000
His spirit lives on. I still hear his words of confidence every day of my life. Though he passed away almost three years ago, I can still feel his presence.
Ever since I was in the seventh grade I had been told that I was too small to play football. I never really had much size as a child, but my love for the game was great. I can still remember my first scrimmage in the fourth grade. I was playing Strong Safety against the Giants. I remember dropping back and seeing the ball go up. I reached out, caught the ball and returned the interception for forty yards before being knocked out of bounds. I wasn't sure what I had done, but I knew it was good because by team came over to congratulate me and then they escorted me back to the huddle. That's when I knew I wanted to play college football.
Just a few years later, I wasn't even being allowed to play middle school football. My coaches kept me off the field. They would criticize me in front of the team by saying things like, "You're too small to play football. "Collelouri has the best arm on the team, too bad he's not 6-2." Or, "Hey, Tommy, I'm going to buy you some growing pills to take during the off season." I remember going home every day and crying in my room. It felt like someone was taking away from me what I loved most, football. That's when my Grandpa Mario would call. He called every day to see how practice had gone.
Whenever my Dad told me Grandpa was on the phone, I would wipe my tears away and try to stop myself from hyperventilating because I thought it was unmanly to cry and I didn't want to disappoint him. Then I would put the phone to my ear and hear Grandpa say, "Hey Butch! How was your day, Buddy?"
Grandpa would always reply by saying, "Don't worry about it, Tom. You and I both know that it's his loss. You're a good, strong football player. Just keep plugging away at the weights. If he keeps you off the field because of your lack in size, then he's a jerk!" No matter how upset Grandpa ever got, he would never let his grandchildren hear him curse. But it was his words, day after day that kept me going.
Grandpa Mario's words of confidence are what kept me going all these years and got me to where I am today. I remember wanting to quit football in the eighth grade because I was sick of fighting and doing everything within my power for a starting position with nothing to show for my year-round hard work and efforts. It had sucked all of my love for football out of me. When Grandpa Mario found out about this he called and said, "Hang in there Tommy boy. Don't let him get the best of you." I always looked up to my Grandpa and I did not want to let him down.
So here I am today, four years later. I am now a senior at Plainview Old-Bethpage JFK High School. I'm 5'11", 205 pounds and the captain of the varsity football, lacrosse, and weight lifting teams. I was voted best athlete in the school by my classmates. I received All-Conference honors in football, was invited to play in the "Long Island Exceptional Senior Game" on Thanksgiving Day and was nominated for the BFS High School All-American Team. I owe it all to my Grandpa Mario.
If it were not for my Grandpa Mario keeping me in the sport and reminding me of my love for football, I know not where I would be today. He not only taught me how to overcome adversity on the field, but in the classroom as well.
I always struggled with my grades growing up but my friends and family did not know why. Finally, when I was in the tenth grade, I was tested by my school and they found that I have a reading disability. Now, knowing what the problem is, I have been able to use the services of my resource room which has helped me learn ways to work around this disability. I may have to work harder than most other students to get the grades I want, but I am willing to do whatever it takes because it's what Grandpa Mario would have wanted.
So, if Grandpa Mario is listening to me right now, I would like to say two simple words. Thank you!
Tommy Colleleuri is presently a police officer in Roanoke, VA, where he assists in instructing at the academy and is a new member of their S.W.A.T. team. He just got married last month and is going for his MA in Counseling. Congrats, Tommy!

After not driving my Toy Jeep for nearly a year, I have finally decided to let her go. I have tried my best to describe all the goodies, but I'm sure I have missed a few trinkets. She has been garage kept since I have owned her. Originally purchased as a bone stock Cherokee, I have spent literally thousands of hours building it to concur any obstacle possible yet still be 100% street legal - She is NOT a trailer queen and has been driven to and fro. Everything has a purpose and works extremely well. Feel free to email me and I will respond with my number. Serious inquires only.

These Cookies are so good! They are the chocolatey-est, chewiest cookies ever.
These cookies are the kind of cookies that make people turn and look at you as if to say, 'God damn, what sort of wizardry is this?!'
These Triple Chocolate and Toffee Cookies have a ton of chocolate and toffee in every single bite.
When warm, straight out of the oven the cookies are filled top to bottom with molten puddles of melted chocolate and toffee, so epically delicious you will literally not be able to stop yourself having a second and probably third cookie. When cooled the cookies reach new realms of chewy deliciousness, studded with three different types of chocolate and heavenly chewy toffee.
As with most cookie doughs you can store this cookie dough in the fridge for up to a week. Simply transfer the dough to a sheet of greaseproof paper and roll into a log. That way warm chocolate cookies will be just a 12 minute bake away throughout Christmas. 'Tis the season after all.
Triple Chocolate and Toffee Cookies
Makes approx. 30 cookies
260g plain flour
25g cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
200g unsalted butter, room temperature
90g golden caster sugar
130g light brown sugar
2 medium eggs
1 tsp vanilla paste
75g dark chocolate, chopped into small chunks
75g milk chocolate, chopped into small chunks
100g white chocolate, chopped into small chunks
125g chewy toffee, chopped into small chunks
To Make the Cookies:
Preheat the oven to 170C
Line three cookie trays with baking paper and set aside.
In a medium sized mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and both sugars. Add each egg one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla paste and mix until completely combined.
Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and stir until completely incorporated. Add the dark, milk and white chocolate chunks and the toffee chunks and mix until evenly distributed.
Roll the dough into balls (around the size of golf balls) and place the dough balls on the prepared cookie trays.
Bake the cookies for around 12 minutes or a minute or two longer if you prefer a crisp cookie.
Allow the baked cookies to cool on their trays for a few minutes before removing and placing on a wire rack to cool completely.

I got Spayed and now I have a cone on my head till I heal cause I wont stop licking. Hopefully this calms me down with my agression or Mom found out that we can try Prozac for doggies so I dont have to go to a new home. Yeah!!!!!
Mommy doesnt know what to do with me anymore. I am very aggressive towards my sister and other dogs. I attack them and bite them and chase them. I growl at my 3 yr old human sister, but mommy corrects that cause she wont leave me alone. SO---anyway---She wants a good home for me without any current dogs or SMALL children. She has a lot of money in me and I have a lot of love in me too......but just for humans and adults. This is really breaking mommy's heart. horribly and she crys every time she holds me. I dont want to go but she doesnt know what else to do.
Dear doggie Diary-
I am in dire need of an attitude adjustment. I have had my second heat and gotten over the humping thing. IT was much shorter for me this time-THANK GOD! But Mommy has noticed me acting more distant than normal where I go off on my own-in my own corner with my doggie bed or in my open crate. She has also noticed me being very very mean. I have a very short temper, hate to be bothered and I growl if I am touched. If my sister, Zoey comes near me- I growl and attack her. THIS IS NOT GOOD AT ALL!
If anyone has any suggestions---any-- that will make me be the sweet loving girl I once was- please tell my mommy. I dont want her to get rid of me cause she is worried about the safety of Zoey and children, and I think even herself-since I attacked her once.

Breast Pain
Alarmist scenario: Breast cancer.
More likely cause: Fluctuating levels of hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone, which can cause breast cells to expand in the latter part of the menstrual cycle.
Reality check: "Breast pain, in isolation, is almost never cancer," says oncologist Richard Elledge, an associate professor of medicine at the Breast Center at the Baylor College of Medicine, in Houston. "You don't need to worry," he says, "unless you have symptoms, such as new lumps, that don't come and go with menstruation; changes in the color or some other appearance of the skin over the breasts; or bloody discharge from the nipples."
Rx: If breast pain is a frequent problem, limit yourself to two cups of caffeinated beverages a day. "Some women find that cutting back reduces discomfort," says Elledge. If the pain persists, ask a doctor about danazol, a synthetic steroid that reduces hormonal fluctuations.

Km (hieroglyph)
|"I6", Crocodile skin with spines
in hieroglyphs
The Egyptian hieroglyph for "black" in Gardiner's sign list is numbered I6. Its phonetic value is km. The Wörterbuch der Aegyptischen Sprache-(Dictionary of the Egyptian Language) lists no less than 24 different terms of km indicating 'black' such as black stone, metal, wood, hair, eyes, and animals.[1]
The most common explanation for the hieroglyph is under the Gardiner's Sign List, section I for "amphibious animals, reptiles, etc" is a crocodile skin with spines. Rossini and Schumann-Antelme propose that the crocodile skin hieroglyph actually shows claws coming out of the hide.[2]
Besides 'black', the alternate use of the hieroglyph is for items terminating, coming-to-an-end, items of completion, hence a reference to charcoal, burning to its ending.[3]
In the Demotic (Egyptian) text of the Rosetta Stone, the demotic for Egypt is 'Kmi' . There are three uses of the actual Kmi, but 7 others referenced as Kmi refer to iAt in the hieroglyphs. Other euphemistic references to Egypt in the Rosetta Stone include "Ta-Mer-t", which has the meaning of the 'full/fruitful/cultivated land', hr-tAwy, the 'lands of Horus', and tAwy, the "Two Lands."
- Kmi—spelling-"Egypt" —(22 places, synchronized, Demotic–Hieroglyphs)
Egyptian word examples, conclusion, completion, kmt, km iri[edit]
|"conclusion" and "to total"--("complete")
--"kmt"--and--"km iri"--
in hieroglyphs
Coming to a conclusion, or completion is one use of the km hieroglyph in the words kmt and km iri ('to make an end').[7] The discussion of the biliteral states: The conclusion of a document, written in black ink, ending the work, has the same semantic connotation.[8] (as km for 'concluding') The Rossini, Schumann-Antelme write-up states that initially the word comes from "shield", ikm, and thus the original association with the crocodile.[8]
Alternative glyph, X5 equivalent, items burning black to an ending[edit]
|"burning flames, on charcoal"
in hieroglyphs
Since the origin of the 'black' hieroglyph, and relationships to other forms showing vertical flame-like rises on the end of a flat-triangular shape, there has been discussion of this hieroglyph. As stated above, Schumann-Antelme and Rossini explain the crocodile skin, but with claws.[8] The text by Egyptologists Mark Collier and Bill Manley describes the same "crocodile skin", Gardiner I6, as burning charcoal with flames.[9]
Skin, I6 entry in 1920 Budge "dictionary"[edit]
The last three of four entries ending the 27 entries deal with black stones, or powders and black plants, or seeds; (all small multiple, plural, grains-of, items). They are preceded by entries 21 and 22, a "buckler", or "shield", and "black wood". Entry 26 is an image, or statue, using the vertical mummy hieroglyph gardiner A53, ("in the form of", "the custom of"). These last six entries are unreferenced.
The first 4 of 5 entries, kam, kam-t, or kamkam all deal with items coming to an end. (Entry four is untranslated and is from Pap. 3024, Lepsius, Denkmaler-(papyrus).) The references for the others in the first five are: Peasant, Die Klagen des Bauern, 1908.,[11] Thes.-(Thesaurus Inscriptionum Aegyptiacarum, Brugsch);.[12] A. Z.-(twice);[13] Shipwreck., 118-(Tale of the shipwrecked sailor);[14] Amen.-(author: Amen-em-apt);[15] and Thes. (again).
Entries 6 to 20 deal with "black" or gods, or named items. Only 8 of these items reference black, but start by also referring to Coptic. Entries 6, 7, and 8 refer to coptic "KAME", for 6 and 8; entry 7 to coptic "KMOM", "KMEM". For entry 7, to be black, Budge also references Revue-(Rev.);[16] for entry 8, black items, Budge also references T.-(King Teta);[17] and N.-(Pepi II-(King Nefer-ka-Ra).[18] The other hieroglyph word entries of entry 9 to 20, have about fifteen further references, all starting with the km hieroglyph.
On the other hand, the works of Budge have not held up well in terms of recent hieroglyph scholarship since the 1930s. Even during Budge's own lifetime, many Egyptological scholars disputed Budge's interpretation of glyphs and texts.[19] Today, no modern Egyptological scholar relies upon the works of E. A. W. Budge as evidence of proper glyph rendering, by either his translation or transliteration (his transliteration system was unique to Budge alone as most Egyptologists then (and today) relied upon the transcription and transliteration system developed by the Berlin School which issued the master compendium of Egyptian hieroglyphic language in 1926, Wörterbuch der Aegyptischen Sprache (7 Vols.),[20] and which is detailed in the publication by A. H. Gardiner, Egyptian Grammar: Being an Introduction to the Study of Hieroglyphs (1957)). As such, references to Budge's dictionary and within Budge's dictionary are considered highly suspect by most Egyptologists today, as they do not actually relate back to the terms as he defined them.
|"shield" and "to put an end to"
in hieroglyphs
"Shield", ikm and another word with an approximate km cognate, 'khm starting with the vowel ( ' ), 'khm, meaning to put to an end are the possible words related to the origins of the crocodile skin, and the 'verb of action', of items coming to an end. The second word 'khm has nine entries in the Budge dictionary,[21] shield, ikam, has two entries.[22]

The Transnational Advisory Group In Support of the Peace Process in El Salvador invites all of you The commemoration of 100 days the gang truce has brought peace in our neighborhoods of El Salvador. Under skepticism and criticism, The gang members continue forward into a long term peace process.#
The gangs have made good will gestures to the community by declaring that the schools are now "Safe Zones" and no force recruitment will take place, to gain community support. Although this is not the answer that we would expect from our men and women who have been killing themselves over letters and numbers, this is a positive step forward as supporters of the peace process we ask for a total stop to all illicit activity. We cannot say that the zero tolerance initiatives pushed by the former president and continued by our current president in El Salvador has reduced violence because repression tactics have made this problem bigger. As such we need to understand that the gang members have been part of the problem, in so, they should be part of the solution.
The time is now to invest in our youth and bring economic development programs to El Salvador. Programs that will hire our youth who are living in poverty and stop our youth from joining gangs.
There have been over 700 deaths prevented since the truce started. So let's give this historic gang truce a chance.
*Bring several candles*

ATLANTA -- Atlanta Falcons coach Dan Reeves sought Sunday to even the score on one of his draft-day misjudgments while cutting his losses on another.
In trading O.J. Santiago to the Dallas Cowboys for undisclosed draft choices, Reeves cleared the way for Reggie Kelly to take the starting job at tight end.
''We had tried to sign O.J. and hadn't been successful in doing it,'' Reeves said. ''He's going to be a free agent next year, and we felt like that was going to be the best move we could make for us.''
The move came about two hours after the Falcons released Michael Booker, the cornerback Reeves selected No. 11 overall after swapping draft choices with Seattle in 1997. The Seahawks used Atlanta's spot to take cornerback Shawn Springs, who recently played in his second Pro Bowl.
''Definitely, anybody is tough (to release) when you draft them,'' Reeves said. ''When you get a high draft choice your expectations of them and their expectations of themselves are extremely high.
''When we made the deal for Ashley Ambrose, it made it extremely difficult from a salary cap standpoint for Michael unless he played extremely well.''
Booker was one of nine players cut as Atlanta trimmed its roster to the NFL-mandated 53. Trading Santiago left the Falcons with 52 active players, which clears room for them to trade for a capable defensive lineman.
The Falcons, who open the regular season Sunday against San Francisco, have major concerns with their pass rush and reportedly are trying to reacquire Lester Archambeau, who signed as a free agent with Denver six months ago.
Brady Smith, the starting right end, has missed nearly two weeks with a pulled groin. The Falcons played starting tackle Travis Hall at left end last week, as Patrick Kerney played his second straight game at right end. Ed Jasper, who started at left end two weeks ago but returned to tackle last week, is nursing a sprained right ankle and knee.
Backup end Pellom McDaniels is out for the year after blood clots were discovered on his lungs last week. He was placed on injured reserve Sunday along with end Emil Ekiyor, linebacker Marcus Buckley and center Matt O'Neal.
Along with Booker, the Falcons waived receiver Ronnie Harris, offensive tackle Jose Portilla, safety Omar Brown and defensive end Sam Simmons. Four rookies were cut -- cornerback Anthony Midget, a fifth-round selection, receiver Mareno Philyaw, a seventh-round pick, kicker Jake Arians and defensive tackle Adriano Belli.
Booker, whose salary calls for $1.82 million this year, was primarily used on third down and in nickel coverage situations.
''We just felt like we had four defensive corners, Eli Williams and Darrick Vaughn along with Ashley Ambrose and Ray Buchanan, that we felt were better,'' Reeves said. ''We decided to go with four instead of five and let (Booker) and Anthony Midget both go.''

HALIFAX — The head of US Cyber Command said China is as vulnerable to cyber attacks as any other nation, offering a veiled suggestion that further malicious hacks by the Chinese could result in reprisals in the cyber realm.
Speaking Saturday at the Halifax Security Forum, National Security Agency Director Adm. Mike Rogers, who also heads US Cyber Command, hinted that China might find itself the target of unwelcome cyber intrusions.
"To my Chinese counterparts, I would remind them, increasingly you are as vulnerable as any other major industrialized nation state. The idea that you can somehow exist outside the broader global cyber challenges I don't think is workable," Rogers said.
China uses state capabilities to hack private companies and steal intellectual property, then shares the stolen information with Chinese companies, something the US doesn't do, he said. As head of the NSA, Rogers tries to learn what he can about foreign capabilities, but he doesn't turn around and share them with Boeing or Lockheed Martin, he said.
"None of us wants behavior on either side that ends up accelerating or precipitating a crisis. That's in no one's interests," he said.
Adm. Harry Harris, commander of US Pacific Command, also served notice that the US will continue its decades-long practice of navigating international waters, even as China continues to build what he termed its "Great Wall of Sand" on artificial islands in disputed waters in the South China Sea.
"We will not simply agree to disagree with destabilizing actions taken by China. That's why the United States will continue to sail, fly and operate anywhere international law allows. The South China Sea is not and will not be an exception," Harris said.
"There is one global standard for freedom of navigation, not a double standard where China can fly, sail and operate wherever international law allows while other nations cannot. International seas and airspace belong to everyone, and not the dominion of any single nation."
The US has routinely navigated international waters for decades, so the practice should not come as a surprise, he said.
The relative peace and security in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region over the last 70 years has produced some of the world's largest economies, even in a region that has seven of the world's 10 largest armies, he said.
The Philippines has filed a legal objection to China's activities in the South China Sea, noted Antonio Carpio, a justice on the Supreme Court of the Philippines. Militarily, the Philippines is no match for China, so it brought the dispute to a forum where armaments don't count, he said.
"We cannot live with a dispute where China claims everything," he said.
How China responds to the tribunal's decision will show its commitment – or lack thereof – to peace and security, Harris said.
In the meantime, US commanders are working with Chinese commanders to ensure any contact at sea and in air does not escalate, or result in a military mishap, he said.
"American and Chinese commanders have a responsibility to ensure frictions points in policy don't become friction points in the sea and air," he said.
Harris does not believe that conflict with China is inevitable, he said. The two countries have cooperated on several regional security issues, including medical efforts to prevent pandemics, peaceful denuclearization efforts on the Korean peninsula, and fighting piracy off the Horn of Africa and in the Straits of Malacca.
Looking ahead, the two countries will need to coexist in the shared domains of air, sea, outer space and cyberspace, he said.
"These spaces enable the free flow of goods, services, thoughts and ideas. They are the connective tissue that holds together the global economy and more importantly civil society," Harris said. "Access to shared thoroughfares is at risk due to increasing competition, and unfortunately, the provocative actions of nations like China."

This video stands as a hallmark of my personal commitment to working as hard as I possibly can to create the best possible result regardless of circumstance. 40 hours into this project, I had to back-burn it to go on tour in Australia. Very aware how much time I needed for completion, I found out I had exactly 7 days to complete it from the moment I returned home. With no time for jet-lag… I clocked a 120 hour work week right off the plane from Australia, shattering my previous record of 109.
I am immensely proud of this video and every ounce I put into it… and beyond excited to be sharing it with the world!
One of the MANY things I love about my job is utilizing my entire creative skillset. This lyric video for Homegrown is a great example of many years of experience coming together in perfect harmony (pun intended). The look started out in-line with the single artwork, and evolved from there. I performed all the match-moves and hand-animated the type (except the Homegrown pieces). I tried to make it seem like the band was performing IN the forest of each scene by incorporating tour photographs from last year.
I am beyond proud how this turned out… and super excited to share it with the world!!!
Finding Grace from Andy Sapp on Vimeo.
Where do I even start?
This digital film is the greatest gift I have ever given. This was created to be screened at my Jamie and Grace's wedding… as a vehicle to help people understand the love between them. In the end, it served as much more. The storyline of the cinematic portion is essentially a metaphor for Jamie and Grace running off together and beginning their journey down the "Highway of Life". This film created a chance for me to spend more time with them as a couple, and with the wedding party as a whole, to really get a solid understanding just how special their love is. You might even look at this film as my "seal-of-approval" as Jamie's older brother… a proper send-off as they begin their lives together.
This film is hands-down my greatest work to date. To me, it marks a paradigm-shift in my abilities as an artist. I am no longer just a kid with a skateboard shooting video (although I shot parts of this with a skateboard). I have reached a level with my creative skill-set where I am able to effectively realize my vision… and execute it on a scale like never before. I have never attempted something like the cinematic portion of this film. Quite frankly, I was not aware that I was capable. It is safe to say that all of that has changed. I assumed a plethora of the roles to create this: Producer, director, cinematographer, editor, post-production/visual-effects. I stepped way outside of my comfort-zone, and the results speak for themselves.
This film could not be any more heartfelt. I am immensely proud of it… and my brother.
I am beyond excited that I can finally share this with the world.
I sincerely hope you enjoy it.
I feel extremely honored that I was able to turn my creative wrenches on this with the rest of the team at Southern Reel.
I am beyond proud of everyone for all the amazing hard work that went into this film.
All of that hard work really shows… and this film is genuinely awesome.
So excited to see it hit stores everywhere!!!

Misfire on Cylinder 7
When going down the road today I hit a decent size puddle in the road and my wk shut off. The air filter was soaked. Car didn't want to start. I let it sit for a few minutes and tried to start it. After cranking for a few seconds it start but was running awful. I got it home and it was throwing a P0307 and P2320. I replaced the coil with a new coil. I swapped the spark plug on cylinder 7 with cylinder 6. (I didn't get a plug when I was at parts store because I thought it was the coil). I also did an oil change, oil looked good no water. Still getting the misfire. When I pulled the spark plug it was soaked in gas. Anyone have any ideas what the problem could be?
When you swapped the plug with cylinder 6 what happened? Did the problem follow the spark plug? You could try swapping injector on 7 with injector on 6 to see if it follows, if it does it may be a bad injector. You could run a compression test on that cylinder and compare to the others. If you sucked in water its possible you bent a valve (worst case). Do you still have codes?

Re: Misfire on Cylinder 7
When I swapped plugs the problem sounded like it stayed on the same spot. I have seen P2314, P2320, P2302, and P0307. The P2314, P2320, and P2302 came after I started swapping coil packs/plugs. Really starting to worry its something major...
Re: Misfire on Cylinder 7
If it turns out to be something major, is this something insurance would cover? (I have full coverage)
You can try but I wouldn't think so. Since you went through some water, check and make sure all connectors are clean and dry. Grounds are good, make sure you have a good strong 12V supply. These new cars act really funky if they have bad ground or weak voltage.

I have zero compression on cylinder 7 and 120 on cylinder 8. I think it's a dropped valve on drivers side maybe even passenger side with a slightly bent valve. Is there a possibility of a messed up/warped piston?
Pop off the valve cover in that side and make sure that your can followers (ie lifers ) did not pop out. If the did pop out it won't work correctly.

Avatar's James Cameron urges producers to embrace 3D TV
By Christine Kim
SEOUL (Reuters) - Director James Cameron, whose blockbuster "Avatar" set off a 3D frenzy in the movie industry, on Thursday told television producers to put aside their worries about higher filming costs and embrace the technology.
Manufacturers hope the technology will be as big a boost for the industry as the transition to color television from black and white, but growth is being restrained by high costs for content makers, leading to a dearth of programing.
Consumers who just paid major sums for new flat screen sets may not be ready for another major payment for 3D TVs when there is little to see in the format that requires special glasses for viewing, analysts said.
"(Big entertainment companies) can't be afraid to shoot in 3D because tens of thousands of people all over the world are shooting in 3D every day," Cameron said.
"We're going to have 3D TVs all around us ... and we're going to need thousands of hours of sports, comedy and music and all kinds of entertainment," he said at a technology forum in Seoul.
"Avatar", the highest-grossing film of all time, taking in more than $2 billion, was also reportedly one of the most expensive movies to make with a budget of at least $300 million due in part to its 3D filming.
Cameron said it would prove cost effective over the long run for TV producers to learn how to shoot in 3D instead of trying to convert existing 2D content to the format.
"There's not going to be the time or the money to convert that. It's going to have to be shot live. We're going to learn how to do live shooting. The cost will come down on live 3D production," Cameron said. Continued...

Blind faith is to be applauded according to the church. 4sure Casey would be doing better on the Ducati than Rossi is now. The difference is Casey was in front or fighting for the lead when he was losing the front end. Have a look where Rossi is in qualifying and the race when he dumps it. Excuses are now over for Rossi and his fans, the same Rossi followers that said it was Stoners fault for crashing the Ducati are now saying its the bikes fault now Rossi is doing the same thing.

It's a minefield of high fat, high calorie, super salty choices at some lunch joints while others offer at least a few healthy options. Here's a quick look at the best restaurant lunches. By: Maureen Callahan, MS, RD and Karen Ansel, RD.
Healthy Restaurant Lunches
Our guidelines for good: 600 calories or less; not more than 6 grams saturated fat (the American Heart Association suggests a daily limit of 17g) and about 900 mg sodium or less.
Instead, go for a McDonald's Hamburger at 250 calories, 9 grams of fat (3.5g sat) and 490 milligrams of sodium. At such low numbers, this burger leaves room for a 20-calorie side salad (add a serving of Newman's Own Low Fat Balsamic Vinaigrette for only 35 calories if you prefer) and small fry (230 calories, 11 grams fat (1.5g sat) and 160mg sodium).
Dining Out Tips
Favorite lunch spot not on our list? Sorry, we had to narrow down our checklist to the top 15 best selling chains. Since some didn't cough up nutrition numbers or weren't open for lunch, we plugged in few staff favorites to round out of our list.

Interestingly enough, Ben Affleck stated in last week's HBO's Real Time With Bill Maher, that he approved of this legislation. He was very well spoken and intelligent when Bill Maher, in typical fashion, started with his jokes and inquiries of the panel regarding the FL law.
I darned near fell off my chair in shock over his defense of the FL law and criticism of the Brady Campaign for being alarmists.

WASHINGTON -- Anyone who has paid even glancing attention to the national debate over higher education in the past couple of years has already seen many books and white papers asking [1] if too many people are going to college, or if a degree is worth the money (and, frequently, the attendant debt).
Now William J. Bennett, the former secretary of education under President Reagan, has weighed in. Bennett was a sharp critic of colleges and universities during his tenure; one of his legacies is the eponymous "Bennett hypothesis," [2] which argued that federal spending on student financial aid drives increases in college tuition.
Since the Reagan administration, Bennett has been better-known as a social commentator. But now he's opining on higher education again, with a book released in May bluntly titled Is College Worth It? [3]
The conclusion of Bennett (and his co-author, David Wilezol, an associate producer on Bennett's television program, "Bill Bennett's Morning in America") is a qualified yes -- more or less the same answer the Brookings Institution reached in a paper [4] this year that asked the same question. A four-year college degree is worth it, Bennett said during a panel discussion about his book at the American Enterprise Institute on Wednesday, for students who study "the right subject at the right place for the right price."
The debate over the value of college (often accompanied by warnings of a higher education bubble) has gained new life in recent years -- driven both by national concern about rising levels of student debt and by the push, embraced by the Obama administration and various foundations, to get more Americans to obtain some kind of college credential.
Most colleges are serving students badly, Bennett argued his remarks. His comments included a litany of the "is college worth it?" debate's greatest hits: he said there are 115,000 janitors in the United States with a bachelor's degree, and that those with no degree can still get high-earning jobs (Bennett pointed to Edward Snowden, the National Security Administration leaker who earned a six-figure salary despite lacking a college degree, high school diploma or GED); argued that colleges are increasing tuition and using the proceeds to build climbing walls and offer "gourmet room service"; and cited Academically Adrift, the 2011 book that caused a firestorm in the education policy world when it argued that many students showed little to no gain in critical thinking skills during college.
Bennett also tackled another criticism of colleges and universities -- that they are doing little to serve low-income students. The "high tuition, high aid" model, under which universities charge high tuition but provide generous aid based on financial need, has failed, Bennett said, citing research finding that many qualified low-income students don't apply to those expensive, selective institutions. His book expands on, and updates, his theory that federal student aid drives increases in college prices.
Wilezol, his co-author, argued that colleges are serving students so badly that they have unleashed a generation of disillusioned, indebted graduates.
"We're creating a class of people that are not going to cohere as citizens, perhaps, and are missing out on what America is really about," he said.
The panel discussion centered primarily around the economic value of a college degree, and the need for colleges to be more transparent with students about their possible outcomes. Most colleges lie to students in glossy catalogs, Bennett said: "What we want is a better-informed consumer."
An unusually bipartisan swath of Washington [5] -- including Republican Senator Marco Rubio and House majority leader Eric Cantor as well as representatives of the Obama administration -- has united in recent months behind a call for more data about college graduates' salaries. Efforts are under way in some states to make that information available, at least for graduates who stay in-state after graduation.
Still, Bennett might seem an unlikely standard-bearer for the movement: he's an advocate for the Great Books and a strong core curriculum based on Western traditions. He majored in philosophy and graduated in 1971 with his master's in philosophy and $26,000 in student debt -- almost $150,000 in current dollars.
But he said students should go in with their eyes open -- and that the humanities have been "so debased, narrowed, professionalized and hermeneuticized" at most colleges that they have hardly any value.
As for himself, Bennett said: "Regrets? None," he said. "I loved philosophy.... We don't discourage people from doing that."

vegas: in conclusion
So these are my last batches of my vacay and then I'll shut up about it...I promise.
In all, I LOVE Las Vegas! There was so much to process when we got there, that we didn't do half the things that we initially planned on doing - so I'm definitely looking forward to going back in the next few months. We already have the placed lined up for where we're going to stay next time and it's SICK! But let me not get ahead of myself...on the last day I was so not ready to leave. Vegas is certainly a place to go to escape and create your own version of reality...Lord knows I needed that!
|the ceiling of The Venetian Hotel
|our amazing hotel...we love it there!
I'm not the only one who recently left town - check out my cousin's recent trip to Puerto Rico .The Mr and I were planning on soaking up the sun in PR for our anniversary this November, but since he already took time off for LV, it doesn't look like it's going to happen. For now I'll live vicariously through Kimi.

As part of the recently passed state budget which included an expanded Medicaid plan expected to reach some 350,000 Arizonans, local school districts are expected to receive inflation funding next fiscal year.
The Arizona Senate last week passed the state's budget that included about $34 million for K-12 funding, a 1.8 percent inflation increase. Of those funds, more than a million could be given to Kyrene School District and Tempe Union High School District serving Ahwatukee.
As the Senate-approved budget heads to the House this week and the legislature next week, Kyrene could receive a little more than $1.5 million, according to district chief financial officer Jeremy Calles.
"It's a little more than we were already expecting," he said. "But the main thing for Kyrene is that the bond legislation is in the budget."
Since the fall, the district has been curtailing spending and conducted a hiring freeze until the legislature makes a decision on whether or not school districts can bond based on the secondary assessed values.
If the state budget passes through the House and legislature, without a veto by the governor, the district could see about $1.1 million next school year.
"Now it's just a matter of going through the process," Calles said.
The state budget now moves to the House.
For more information about the state budget and its process through the House, visit azleg.org and search "SB 1487."

When you hit your 30s, you begin to find that your generation's grandparents aren't around so much anymore. Most have passed on, many are incapacitated, some are squeaking by, and a lucky few are still spry teenagers concealed behind nonagenarian wrinkles and Christmas sweatshirts. Age has to happen to everyone, I guess. The certainty of passing time is hard to comprehend, and I assume, even tougher to confront with anything resembling grace. But somehow, folks manage.
My remaining grandma passed away last year. The Boyfriend's moved on early Wednesday morning. They were lovely ladies whose lives couldn't have been more unalike. The Midwesterner was by all accounts a good cook and talented artist. The New Yorker - well, not so much with the cooking. But she loved us pretty hard. And I loved her for it.
What any of this has to do with food is minor or momentous, depending on your point of view. Home-cooked meals can be a bittersweet reminder of gatherings and kitchen sessions gone by, or a warming, filling comfort in times of emptiness. Good dishes won't replace people by any means, but for ten seconds, it might make their absence sting a bit less.
With that, here's today's recipe. It's a Turkey Chili with Beans based on the February 1997 issue of Bon Appetit. I made it Wednesday night for The Boyfriend, and included a long list of reader review alterations that I won't regale you with. Just know the end product was a metric ton of the best turkey chili I've ever had. If you make it, try to create your own chili powder (recipe included below) or use a salt-free mix. A lot of the store-bought mixes have extra NaCl in them, which could throw off the taste a bit.
Hope you enjoy the food, and in the meantime - here's to you, R and H.

Eastern Washington University, Decision 11796 (PSRA, 2013)
In the matter of the petitions of:
For clarification of existing bargaining units of employees of:
On April 15, 2013, the Washington Federation of State Employees (WFSE) filed two unit clarification petitions concerning two different bargaining units of employees that it represents at Eastern Washington University (employer). WFSE's first petition, Case 25644-C-13-1550, sought removal of the supervisory Campus Police from its supervisory bargaining unit and creation of a new bargaining unit consisting of those employees. That bargaining unit is currently defined as:
Supervisory civil service employees of Eastern Washington University, who supervise civil service employees, excluding confidential employees, internal auditors, non-supervisory employees, employees in other bargaining units, and employees historically excluded by order of the Washington Personnel Resources Board or its predecessors.
Eastern Washington University, Decision 8638 (PSRA, 2004). WFSE's second petition, Case 25645-C-13-1551, sought removal of the non-supervisory Campus Police from its non-supervisory bargaining unit and creation of a new bargaining unit consisting of those employees. That bargaining unit is currently defined as:
All non-supervisory civil service employees of Eastern Washington University, excluding confidential employees, internal auditors, supervisors, and employees included in any other bargaining unit.
Eastern Washington University, Decision 9047 (PSRA, 2005).
The petitions were reviewed under WAC 391-35-020, and on April 24, 2013, deficiency notices were issued indicating that the petitions did not describe a recent change in circumstances that warranted the employees' removal from either bargaining unit. Additionally, WFSE did not allege that any of the police officers had recently become interest arbitration eligible which would require their removal from a bargaining unit containing non-interest arbitration eligible employees. WFSE was given a period of 21 days in which to file and serve amended petitions or face dismissal of the cases. WFSE did not file amended petitions that cured the defects in the original petitions.
Applicable Legal Standard
Unit clarification proceedings are controlled by Chapter 391-35 WAC. WAC 391-35-020 described the circumstances for which a unit clarification petition may be filed and states, in part:
Time for filing petition — Limitations on results of proceedings.
(1) A unit clarification petition may be filed at any time, with regard to:
(a) Disputes concerning positions which have been newly created by an employer.
(b) Disputes concerning the allocation of employees or positions claimed by two or more bargaining units.
(c) Disputes under WAC 391-35-300 concerning a requirement for a professional education certificate.
(d) Disputes under WAC 391-35-310 concerning eligibility for interest arbitration.
(e) Disputes under WAC 391-35-320 concerning status as a confidential employee.
(f) Disputes under WAC 391-35-330 concerning one-person bargaining units.
(2) A unit clarification petition concerning status as a supervisor under WAC 391-35-340, or status as a regular part-time or casual employee under WAC 391-35-350, is subject to the following conditions:
. . .
(3) Employees or positions may be removed from an existing bargaining unit in a unit clarification proceeding filed within a reasonable time period after a change of circumstances altering the community of interest of the employees or positions.
(emphasis added).
Interest arbitration eligible employees may not be in the same bargaining unit with non-interest arbitration eligible employees. WAC 391-35-310. Unit clarification petitions seeking separation of these two distinct groups of employees may be filed at any time. WAC 391-35-020(1)(d).
The change in circumstance that triggers a unit clarification petition under WAC 391-35-020(3) must be a meaningful change in an employee's duties and responsibilities. University of Washington, Decision 10496-A (PSRA, 2011), citing City of Richland, Decision 279-A (PECB, 1978. Types of changes to the workplace environment, such as a reorganization of an employer's workforce, are occurrences that could trigger a unit clarification petition. See Lewis County, Decision 6750 (PECB, 1999). Absent a recent change in circumstances, a unit clarification petition will be dismissed as untimely. See Island County, Decision 2572 (PECB, 1986). A unit clarification alleging a change in circumstances must be filed within a reasonable time period of the change that creates the need for review of the existing bargaining unit. See University of Washington, Decision 11590 (PSRA, 2012), aff'd, Decision 11590-A (PSRA, 2013).
Application of Standards
These cases concern employees who have historically been included in existing bargaining units. The non-supervisory Campus Police have been included in WFSE's non-supervisory bargaining unit since at least 1973. See Eastern Washington University, Decision 9950-A (PSRA, 2008). The supervisory Campus Police have been included in WFSE's supervisory bargaining unit since at least 1981. See Eastern Washington University, Decision 8636 (PSRA, 2004). Although the employees at issue are police officers, they are not uniformed officers eligible for interest arbitration as their impasse resolution mechanism. Rather, both the supervisory and non-supervisory Campus Police are civil service employees covered by Chapter 41.06 RCW who are not eligible for interest arbitration.
Accordingly, WFSE's petitions are not timely under WAC 391-35-020(1)(d) because no recent change has occurred granting these employees interest arbitration rights.
Additionally, WFSE's petitions do not allege a recent change in circumstances that warrants review of the existing bargaining units. WFSE simply ask that the Campus Police positions be removed from their respective bargaining units. Without an allegation that some material change in circumstance has occurred, this agency has no reason to review either of the existing bargaining units to ensure their continued appropriateness. Therefore, both petitions are dismissed.
The petitions filed by the Washington Federation of State Employees in the above-captioned cases are DISMISSED.
ISSUED at Olympia, Washington, this 21st day of June, 2013.
MICHAEL P. SELLARS, Executive Director
This order will be the final order of the
agency unless a notice of appeal is filed
with the Commission under WAC 391-35-210.
