Twins' Thorpe emerging from Down Under
Teenage southpaw developing as top prospect from off beaten path
By Jake Seiner / MiLB.com | March 15, 2014 10:00 AM
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- It's all come together pretty quickly for Lewis Thorpe.
Less than three years ago, pro baseball wasn't on the mind of the Australian left-hander. The 18-year-old knew he was good -- success as a member of the Australian national team dating back to Little League was evidence of that.
But it was tough for him to gauge his ability and upside compared to American prospects, considering he hailed from a country where baseball is a niche sport.
The young hurler -- a 6-foot-1 beanpole at the time -- began thinking of baseball as a profession during an Under-16 tournament in Mexico. Then 15, Thorpe pitched well and caught the eye of Howard Norsetter, a Twins scout renowned for his ability to discover and sign Aussie hurlers such as Liam Hendriks and Grant Balfour.
"He'd keep coming out to watch me," Thorpe said. "We'd have a chat and he'd say how I was doing, what I was doing wrong, what I was doing right."
Norsetter was the first scout to touch base, with the New York Yankees not far behind and another 15 or so teams to follow. A year later, it was Norsetter's early presence -- as well as a $500,000 signing bonus -- that convinced Thorpe to sign with the Twins.
In 2013, the Twins brought Thorpe stateside. It was his second trip to the United States -- he'd participated in a Cal Ripken tournament in 2007 in Maryland. Fort Myers underwhelmed the hurler a bit -- his free time was spent mostly "just hanging out in the hotel" -- but the baseball experience proved valuable and successful.
Minnesota kept the then-17-year-old in extended spring training, preparing him for a stint in the Gulf Coast League. Already touching 90 mph with a quality changeup, Thorpe was ahead of the game stuff-wise but needed work on his command.
The Twins thought some sharpening to Thorpe's mental approach would help, suggesting a preparation technique they call "zoning." The purpose, as the name suggests, is to help get in the zone more easily before every pitch, limiting his vision to his target and quieting some of the noise that can rattle around a young pitcher's mind.
"Zoning is like mental imagery," he said. "You come set in your windup, look at the ground, close your eyes, then pick up your target. It makes it easier."
Zoning, paired with a simpler motivational ploy -- GCL Twins pitchers are fined a dollar for every walk they issue -- helped Thorpe find command of his pitches. His mound work cost him $6 over 44 innings as he posted a 64-to-6 strikeout-to-walk ratio and a 2.05 ERA.
The hurler's workload for the season was expectedly light, considering his age, and made it possible for him to return home and pitch in the Australian Baseball League over the winter. The ABL -- Australia's top professional league -- is stocked with Double-A and Triple-A hitters sent by big league teams to get more at-bats. It was a unique circumstance for Thorpe to pitch there, having turned 18 in November.
The Melbourne native was lights-out for his hometown Aces, compiling a 2.45 ERA in seven starts. Over 36 2/3 innings, he struck out 30 batters and walked 10 with a .241 batting average against.
That he succeeded is a promising sign, but Thorpe was more eager to talk about the stint's influence on his routines and approach. He was especially struck by Rockies prospect Ryan Casteel, Melbourne's catcher, who earned an invitation to big league camp this spring.
"There were a lot of knowledgeable guys around teaching you things every day," Thorpe said. "It was just awesome watching those guys and playing with them and facing good hitters."
| "Zoning is like mental imagery. You come set in your windup, look at the ground, close your eyes, then pick up your target. It makes it easier."
-- Thorpe on how the Twins help their pitchers focus
The Twins were thrilled to get Thorpe the experience and pleased with the communication between Melbourne and Minnesota regarding his innings count. The Aces and Twins spoke regularly about his workload, what he was throwing and how well he was throwing it.
"I think the people in Australia did a nice job communicating with us and adhering to what we wanted to do with him," Twins director of Minor League operations Brad Steil said. "It was good for him to pitch in Australia. Faced some better competition than you see in the GCL, more mature hitters who can be a little more patient, have a little more discipline."
Thorpe arrived at Spring Training vying for a spot on a full-season roster, a determination that hasn't been made yet. His resume is looking strong, however. Listed at 6-foot-1 and 170 pounds when he signed, Thorpe is now a fit 6-foot-2 and 215 pounds and hopes to maintain that size.
In his first spring outing on Monday, Thorpe sat at 90-93 mph with his fastball, locating that and his promising changeup well. They've already become go-to pitches for the Aussie, who said his goal is to get his curveball and slider to catch up.
"I need to get them sharper," he said. "I don't have the feel for them just yet. I'll keep working on them. Hopefully, I can get them going for when the season starts."
If the past three years are any indication, Thorpe will have them figured out soon.

Again. I had completely forgotten about this place until I ran into cmiller at a Go Orlando meeting.school
As I told Chad, "It's odd meeting someone else around here [Florida]. I thought everyone else was from New England or California."
Got four classes this coming term. I might have a fifth, due to the Florida Degree Incentive Grant, which is $300 per term but only applies if I have 15 hours or more. I have 12... but $300 just about covers 3 credit hours worth of tuition, and maybe even the book.go
If I take another course, it'll likely be one of my few remaining Liberal Arts exit requirements, since there's a pretty strict hierarchy of prerequisites for CS classes, and I Want To Graduate And Get The Hell Out Of This School.
Right now, I'm taking these:COP 4020 Programming Languages M 13:00-16:50 COP 4600 Operating Systems W 18:00-20:50 COT 3100 Intro to Discrete Structures M 18:00-20:50 EEL 4852C Data Base Systems T 15:00-17:50Quite a load, and it could become heavier. I'm up to it, though.
Of course, since I have class on Monday until almost 9PM, I won't be able to attend Go Orlando's Monday meetings. At least they started a Thursday meeting each week.computers
As I said earlier, cmiller has been showing up fairly regularly, and we've played once. I gave him five stones and lost by 3 points. That's not bad, considering I've been playing since about February, and he apparently started about six weeks ago. I'm still weak compared to most of the players in the club, though; there seems to be a natural dichotomy between the "experienced players" and "everyone else". As far as I'm concerned, the criterion for being in the "experienced players" category is "I can't beat them even if they give me 9 stones." There are at least three people now who fit that criterion, and one who gives me 7 stones.
The time has come for me to get a laptop. I'm finally sick of using the school's insecure bug ridden public use crap piles.antidepressants
I've shopped around, and I think the ideal would be a 15 inch Apple Powerbook.
"But... that's a Mac!" I hear you cry.
Yes, I know. I'm also in lust with MacOS X. A friend from Go Orlando has illustrated the benefits of MacOS X in a very clear way. He has a 400MHz 15" Powerbook, and it absolutely smokes my Wintendo, so speed isn't a factor. (Particularly considering they're up to 1GHz now, and are likely to be quite a bit higher once the new revision comes out.)
Ay, that's the rub... Apple has been very slow in releasing the new revision of the Powerbooks. I would have expected them to have announced it by now, to take advantage of the back-to-school sales rush, but nothing yet. I've heard rumors of mid-September, though, at some show in Paris.
I've been taking Wellbutrin whenever I remember to. It seems to be doing much more good than St. John's Wort ever did.dink
I still bang on dink whenever I get an idea. It's growing very slowly, though. I just wrote a couple of game clocks. (Actually, calling them clocks take some measure of imagination... they don't keep time by themselves, relying on something else calling their tick() method every second.)o/~ girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money...o/~ -- good charlotte, "boys and girls"This needs some explanation... by "game clock" I mean something that keeps track of how much time is remaining for each player, and only allows a player's clock to run when it's his turn.
I learned a couple of days ago that Python has a built-in SocketServer class, which I plan to use, as soon as I figure out how I'm going to queue and process commands.

Hey, don't normally do WIPs, so forgive me if I skip steps, but I started working on my gazebo from Bones 4.
Built up a cork base and mounted on some basswood (slightly harder than balsa):
I'm going to be using this as blocking terrain in Kings of War, so I don't really need any interior functionality.
I got a Rivendell vibe from this, so I'm going to load it up with some greenery. First step is covering the rock parts with a gritty paste:

Hi all. I may have finished this guy in record time. I am trying this new thing where when I want to stop and get up from my desk... I don't . This is a bugbear that I just primed with a couple others even though I didn't really have any strong feelings about him. But as I started working on him I started to get more excited, which is something that's been happening to me more now. I just start a mini to get more stuff painted and end up liking the job. I have started to put more effort into highlighting because I got a nudge here on the forums and I am so glad I did. I really like the work I did on his armour, bringing the scales up to a brighter orange and ticking the edges with silver to make it look like the orange was paint wearing off. In person he really glitters with that silver, something that didn't quite come across in the picture. I like the highlighting I did with his skin and loincloth and also the silver rivets on the arm and shin guards. I hope you all like him too!

While wet weather and cool temperatures have slowed corn drydown this year, Tennessee farmer John Smith says, yields appear to be as much as 25% above average.
"I'm about half-done shelling corn," says Smith, who farms in Puryear. "We started at the 27% to 28% moisture level. This has been an unusual year, the corn's not drying a whole lot, but we're still shelling and have been pleasantly surprised with our yields so far."
(Click here for harvest maps, news and updates on AgWeb)
In addition to raising 1,000 acres of corn, Smith grows 1,700 acres of beans, 650 acres of oats double-cropped behind wheat and 160 acres of tobacco. He also runs a registered Angus herd with a cow-calf operation.
On the soybean side, Smith says the crop is normally planted starting in early May. This year, late corn planting and wheat cutting pushed that date back. Still, he is optimistic given crop conditions.
"Our beans are late just because of the challenges that we've had with weather, but if the frost holds off, we're going to have a tremendous bean crop," he says.

The smooth, rich sounds of multi-Dove Award winning and Grammy nominated trio The Martins will be featured at 7 p.m. Sept. 6 in a concert at Tanglewood Church on Rouse Road.
Siblings Judy, Jonathan and Joyce Martin have performed from The Grand Ole Opry to The White House, and in concert halls, auditoriums and churches nationwide. During the 1990s, the popular Christian trio rose to national and international success, showcasing their distinctive harmonies before audiences from Bill Gaither�s Homecoming Video and Concert Series to Carnegie Hall. Over the years they garnered six Dove Awards from the Gospel Music Association, a Grammy nomination and multiple hit songs.
After nearly a decade of pursuing individual music careers, the trio reunited in 2010, much to the delight of long-time Martin music lovers. In 2011, the threesome released its first new recording in 10 years. In support of the highly anticipated recording, produced by Jay DeMarcus of Rascal Flatts, the group has toured worldwide.
Most recently, this spring The Martins returned to the studio with arranger Lari Goss and long-time friend and producer Michael English to record a new a cappella hymns project. The recording, scheduled to be released later this year, will feature The Martins� unmistakable family harmony.
They will share their trademark harmonies as their tour stops in Kinston Sept. 7. Tickets are $10 in advance, up until 5 p.m. the day of the concert, or $15 at the door, purchasable at the church.
For complete information, call 252-522-2698 or visit tanglewoodchurch.com. For background on The Martins, go to martinsonline.com.

KanCare causing headaches for nursing homes

Nursing home administrators are frustrated over the state's new KanCare Medicaid system, which went into effect Jan. 1.
"We haven't seen anything but delays in services," said Melissa Parmley, administrator at Peabody Care Center. "It's been a giant headache."
She said payments have been delayed by more than 90 days. However, delay in payments does not mean delay in services for patients.
"Patients still get the same care they usually do, but we pick up their cost until their payment comes through," she said.
The program was designed to streamline Medicaid by assigning each beneficiary to one of three companies — Amerigroup, Sunflower State Health Plan, and UnitedHealthcare. KanCare oversees financial management of all three.
According to KanCare policy, anyone who received Medicaid before Jan. 1 will receive the same benefits through KanCare, but KanCare must clear any additional benefits.
Kris Erickson, CEO of Salem Home in Hillsboro, said 50 percent of his customers had been receiving Medicaid before KanCare. His facility has seen payment delays of 30 to 60 days.
"It seems like the delays are random," he said. "For some reason they get flagged and it's a whole process to get them reapproved. They eventually get approved, but in the meantime they can't pay for their care. We have to foot the bill until the payment comes through."
While Parmley said costs have not increased because of KanCare, Erickson said he has had to hire staff.
"It's a lot of paperwork, but mostly it's a lot of waiting," he said.
Joe Ewert of the Kansas Department of Aging thinks the problem is purely in bookkeeping.
"It's mostly in payment adjustment that there has been delays," he said. "These delays have not directly impacted patient services. We encourage homes to contact us anytime a problem arises."
Caseworkers assigned by KanCare to assist residents or facilities work hard to get their residents the services they require both nursing homes said.
"Their poor workers are fighting an uphill battle," Parmley said. Erickson and Parmley are hopeful their complaints and those of other facilities across the state will open lawmakers' eyes.
"The approval process is not saving money; I don't see how it could," Parmley said. "The delays are just too long, and promises are not getting fulfilled."

Recently reintroduced, the chisels are now made in Sheffield, England, with the same classic design and compact socket-mounted handle as the US-made originals. Rarely seen nowadays, socketed handles are remarkably durable since repeated mallet blows serve only to tighten the socket-and-tenon assembly. The tough hornbeam handles are shaped to fit the hand; the cove naturally fits your thumb and index finger, while the domed end nestles in your palm when paring. The taper-ground blades are chrome-vanadium steel hardened to Rc57-62, and have bevelled edges for clearance in tight corners. Overall lengths range from 8-1/2" to 10". Built to withstand hard use, yet well balanced for fine work.
Offered individually or as a set of four (1/4", 1/2", 3/4", 1") or as a set of eight (all sizes). Sets come in a leather tool roll.

Otey Blogs About NCAA Woman of the Year Weekend
Sarah Jane Otey, who graduated from the Coast Guard Academy in May, is one of nine student-athletes that have been selected as finalists for the 2012 NCAA Woman of the Year Award that will be announced on Sunday during a ceremony in Indianapolis.
Otey, who was the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) representative for the award, has landed among the top nine from a group of nearly 430 total nominees. The nine finalists are among 30 Woman of the Year honorees who will be honored during the event.
A three-time NEWMAC All-Conference rower, Otey is an accomplished rower and swimmer, helping to lead the Coast Guard crew team to a spot in the NCAA championship in 2008 and 2012 and qualifying for the NCAA swimming & diving championship five times in her career. She is also an outstanding student, who had a 3.97 GPA in marine and environmental science, earning six NEWMAC Academic All-Conference distinctions and receiving the George C. Alexander award at the Coast Guard Academy for "highest proficiency in physical chemistry, analytical chemistry and toxicology."
Otey took on a number of leadership and service roles during her time at the Academy. In 2009-10, she stepped away from her classmates and teammates at Coast Guard and spent a year doing humanitarian work in Peru. During her time in Peru, Otey worked at a local clinic, tutored children in English and helped build clean-burning stoves for rural families.
She has also been a mentor in the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program and was the community service department head at Coast Guard in 2011. She is a two-time Capital One Academic All-District honoree and a member of Alpha Lambda Delta, the freshman honors society. She received the Elite 89 award at this year's NCAA rowing championship and is a two-time Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA) All-American.
The NCAA Woman of the Year Award honors graduating student-athletes who have distinguished themselves throughout their collegiate careers in the areas of academic achievement, athletics excellence, community service and leadership.
She blogged three times about the event. See the blogs below
The awards dinner on Sunday was a very exciting and special event. I think the NCAA did a wonderful job in planning and executing the dinner – they recognized the entire Top 30, and then the final nine, and made everyone there feel honored. We all dressed up and walked over to the reception with our family and guests. I was so glad that both my coaches – Jen Meuse and John Westkott – were able to attend the dinner, along with out Athletic Director, Mr. Fitzpatrick. Jen even brought a photo album the crew team had made me, filled with little notes from each of them – those girls are awesome!
I was a little nervous about the actual awards part of the dinner, but everything went really well. They announced all 30 of the honorees and brought us out on stage together for pictures before the dinner. Then, after the dinner, they brought up the final nine one at a time. They showed the videos they had made for each of us, and then asked us one interview question (which they fortunately gave us in advance!). Once they had gone through all of the final nine, they announced the winner: Elizabeth Phillips. I was not at all disappointed not to win – all of the finalists were amazing women, with inspiring accomplishments, and I think that choosing the winner must have been tough.
So all in all, this entire weekend was a wonderful experience. I loved getting to know the other honorees, and to learn their stories, and the final dinner was a lot of fun. I was so glad to have this opportunity to represent the Coast Guard Academy to the larger world of NCAA athletics.
Sarah Jane
Today was the first time that all 30 of the honorees for Woman of the Year got together. We all officially met at a lunch hosted by the NCAA, and we brought shirts from our respective institutions for a get-to-know you game. I really enjoyed meeting all of the other women, and hearing about what they did in college and what they're doing now. There were some similarities – for example, one of the girls I was sitting next to also got engaged last weekend, and many of them were in graduate school for medicine, law, or physical therapy. But they all had unique and interesting stories as well. We were able to chat and compare our experiences in collegiate athletics, majors, and in life post-college.
After lunch, we went to the Woman of the Year Legacy garden, where we met up with girls from local organizations to work on the garden together. I enjoyed talking with the girls, and they were really excited to see us. We all had a lot of fun planting chrysanthemums of all colors around the garden – though clearly none of us are design majors!
This evening we had a reception, and most of the women brought their families and guests, so we were able to mingle and introduce our guests to other honorees. I'm very excited that my fiancée, my parents, and one of my two sisters were all able to come this weekend, especially since I would never have been able to accomplish any of the things I'm being honored for without their support and encouragement. The reception was to recognize them for just that reason, and it was a very nice evening.
Tomorrow we have a lot of rehearsals and trainings, and then the actual award dinner is in the evening. Both of my coaches, John Westkott and Jen Meuse, are coming out for the dinner tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to seeing both of them!
Sarah JaneBLOG #1-- WEDNESDAY, OCT. 10TH
I love both of my sports, crew and swimming, but I didn't get involved in either of them for the accolades. Actually, when I first started competitive swimming in high school, I was far from the best on the team, and I was content to stay there. But at the Academy, those sports became my outlet; they gave me my friends, my goals, my purpose, and kept my weekends busy. I kept doing my sports because I love the feeling of training to my limit, of pushing harder than I thought I could in practice…and of course, being rewarded at the end of the season with a good finish is nice too.
But long story short, I've never really thought of myself
as an amazing athlete. On the contrary, I was always that kid in
gym class who could never catch or throw to save her life
(it's no coincidence that neither of my sports involves that
type of hand-eye coordination). And yet, here I am, somehow in the
Top 9 for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award, and I definitely have
my coaches and my school to thank for that!
As far as the dinner goes, I wasn't sure at first that I would be able to attend, because I'm currently stationed on a cutter, the Coast Guard Cutter ASPEN, out of San Francisco, and our operations looked like they might prevent me from coming. But we managed to work it out, and I'm so excited to make it to Indianapolis.
I'm flying in on Friday, and the official activities start on Saturday, with a get-to-know you lunch followed by a community service project.
I think it will be a very neat experience to meet all of the other women in the Top 30 – they are all amazing athletes, great community leaders, and they just sound like awesome people to get to know.

New book: Inside the money wars
Outside groups poured a staggering $2.5 billion into the 2012 election — far more than the $1.6 billion spent by party committees — as power migrated from party honchos to a handful of billionaires and political consultants, according to a book released Tuesday by POLITICO Chief Investigative Reporter Kenneth P. Vogel.
In " Big Money: 2.5 Billion Dollars, One Suspicious Vehicle, and a Pimp – on the Trail of the Ultra-Rich Hijacking American Politics," published by PublicAffairs, Vogel details the explosion of cash in politics and the efforts of conservative and liberal millionaires whose costly forays into politics are not dissimilar from those of rich sports junkies who spend millions to buy a professional team. There's even some overlap between big donors and team owners. For example, New York Jets owner Woody Johnson is a leading GOP donor, and Baltimore Orioles owner Peter Angelos , a major Democratic donor.
Story Continued Below
( Also on POLITICO: Inside POLITICO: Why do politicians run from this guy?)
Among the highlights of "Big Money":
* Liberal megadonors discussed funding a primary challenger to President Barack Obama in 2012 – perhaps then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton – and attempted to commission a poll from a top Democratic pollster to see how she would do in the general election.
* Karl Rove, before leaving the White House, quietly advised a group called Freedom's Watch, which raised $56 million ahead of the 2008 race, primarily from Las Vegas casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, and set the stage for Rove's Crossroads groups.
* Even after the disappointing 2012 election, the Koch brothers political operation raised far more money at its first donor seminar of the 2014 cycle — $70 million — than it raised at the first seminar of the 2012 cycle: $49 million.
* Koch operatives conducted background checks on hotel waitstaff and collected smartphones, iPads and other electronics before many sessions at the first 2014 seminar, in Indian Wells, California.
* Obama, at a secret 2012 meeting with rich liberals, pledged to use his political capital in his second term to pursue a constitutional amendment to blunt the impacts of the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision— a promise he has not pursued.
* Among the donors to the Democracy Alliance, an exclusive club of wealthy, politically active liberals founded in part by billionaire financier George Soros is a wealthy sitting member of Congress, Rep. Alan Grayson of Florida.
( Also on POLITICO: Big money, the Koch brothers and me)
The book comes as billionaires continue to pour millions into the 2014 midterms, fueling a GOP civil war in the primaries, and prompting 2016 hopefuls to make pilgrimages across the country to meet with megadonors in an effort to secure their early backing. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is also expected to bring a constitutional amendment, intended to curb the flow of big money in politics, to the floor, but that effort is largely for messaging purposes and not expected to go anywhere.
Megadonors on both sides of the aisle are increasingly exploring the extent of the power that accompanies their ability to spend unlimited sums to influence American elections.
Democratic donors who were unhappy with Obama, like Utah-based hedge-fund magnate Art Lipson, were willing to fund a primary challenger to the president in the aftermath of the party's losses in the 2010 election. "If there had been a halfway decent challenger, I definitely would have supported him. And that's just halfway decent," Lipson told Vogel, according to the book.
( QUIZ: How well do you know the Koch brothers?)
Another major Democratic donor, San Francisco lawyer Guy Saperstein, tried to enlist Clinton's 2008 pollster Geoff Garin to poll how Clinton would fare against Obama in a 2012 general election versus different Republican candidates. Garin declined and eventually ended up working for the pro-Obama super PAC Priorities USA.
The book traces efforts to coax reluctant liberal megadonors off the sidelines, including the use of a spreadsheet that 2012 Obama campaign manager Jim Messina and his staff created. A resulting chart, which Messina dubbed "Storm of Spending," showed estimates of how much the major outside groups on both sides would raise.
"It was intended to scare," said someone familiar with Messina's presentation, "to get people to donate more than they had come to that meeting hoping to spend."
( Also on POLITICO: Dems give big to Senate Majority PAC)
Ultimately, it took only 4,600 big donors to match the $500 million contributed to Obama, Romney and their allied groups by 8 million small donors. In other words, in a presidential campaign that centered on the question of who would better represent the middle class, the top 0.04 percent of donors gave about as much as the bottom 68 percent.

Paying for a Wig
Can I get help paying for a wig for when I lose my hair from chemotherapy?
Christina Bach, MSW, LCSW, OSW-C, Oncology Social Worker at the Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Presbyterian , responds:
Some health insurance policies cover the cost of wigs; you just have to know their language---usually they are referred to as "cranial hair replacement."
You should contact your insurance company first to see if you have any coverage.
Secondly, the American Cancer Society in some areas can cover up to $75 for wigs. You should also see if your oncologist's office has a copy of the "TLC" catalog which is published by the American Cancer Society and offers a wide selection of lovely wigs, turbans and head coverings.
This question and answer was part of the OncoLink Brown Bag Chat Series. View the transcript from Finding the Cancer Resources You Need.

Swimming Pool Blog
by Rob Cox, May 21, 2012
Green Pool Opening
Pictured left is Charlie O's pool in southern New Jersey. We're not sure what happened during the winter, but last week's pool opening was more work than he expected.
Could have been that the water wasn't quite clean and clear before closing. Perhaps the closing chemicals weren't strong enough or just ... enough. Maybe phosphates have contaminated the pool, providing a rich food source for algae to grow fat and happy.
I first told Charlie - "You can see the bottom floor of the pool, so you should be able to bring it back. Lower the pH and shock it good - then run the filter 24/7". My standard answer; usually sufficient.
Charlie got back to me the next day with pictures of his DE filter being clogged with what he called "Green Slime". Indeed, these DE grids were very green, and this was sending the pressure gauge sky high, after just a few short hours of running the filter.
Frustrated, Charlie decided to drain the pool. He's done this before, when he painted the pool, so he was comfortable with using a small pump; hosing off the walls and floor as the water lowered.
Dropped a hose in the pool, and filled it back up in a few days. Balanced the water, started the filter, and sent me a proud picture of his newly blue pool.
How to bring back a green algae pool
1. Drain the Pool:
You could do what Charlie did, drain the pool - sometimes water is cheaper than chemicals. I'm of the belief that you can't really "waste" water - we have roughly the same amount of water on the planet as we did a thousand years ago. However, if you live in an area where drought has struck; parts of Arizona and Texas come to mind, draining the pool may not be feasible.
If you live in a rural area, where your water comes from a well, it can be slow to fill, and hard on the pump. Trucking in water from a pool filling company can get expensive, usually over $1000 to fill a pool. I heard a news story a few weeks back that some Texas water delivery companies were charging 4x that amount!
If you live in an area where water is fairly cheap and plentiful, however - draining the pool may be a good option. If you haven't replaced the water in 5+ years, you may be due for a change. Over time, your pool water can build up dissolved solids and other invisible matter that can consume more chemicals and make water management difficult.
To drain the pool properly, there are some important considerations to avoid complications.
a). Drain to the gutter, or to a storm drain. If this is not possible, make sure to pump at least 50 feet away from the pool. You should avoid pumping the water in an area where it will stand or "pool". Water that is pumped too closely to the pool can make its way quickly underneath the pool. This can cause problems for vinyl liners that "float" or bulge at the point where the water comes to rest under the liner. For concrete pools, the hydrostatic pressure can be so great in some cases, that it can actually pop the pool out of the ground.
For more information on safely and properly draining your pool, see an earlier blog post on how to safely drain a swimming pool.
b). For Concrete pools, be sure to open the hydrostatic relief valves that are plastered into the pool floor and in the main drain pot. These are small threaded caps that will allow the water beneath the pool to come into the pool, rather than push the pool up (which is rare).
c). For Vinyl Liner pools, drain only half of the pool, then fill up again. If you get too close to the floor of the pool, you take the risk that the liner will relax, and pull away from the wall. When this happens you will need to "reset" the liner, using a vac/blower. There is also a risk that while trying to reset the liner, some part of the vinyl could "give", if it is an especially old and brittle liner.
d). If your pool is especially green and messy, using a 5-8hp gas powered pump will be better than using a small submersible pump. Trash pumps, as they are sometimes called, they will suck up and spit out items as large as a golf ball. Secondly, you will want to pump the pool fast, so that you can keep up with hosing off the walls and floor as the water level drops. If you don't do this, the green muck will dry and stick to the walls, creating an even bigger mess, and more stains.
e). Using a pressure washer is suitable for concrete, but too much pressure on loose tile or loose plaster could create another job for you! Keep it under 3000 psi for concrete pools, and for vinyl pools, keep it under 2000 psi, and use care not to damage the liner. If you are using muriatic acid to acid wash the pool, use extreme care, as this is a fairly dangerous substance. See our earlier blog post on acid washing for more information.
2. Chemically Treat the Pool
Generally speaking, if you can see the bottom of the pool, you can bring it back with proper chemical levels, lots of chlorine and lots of filtering. You will need a good filter to pull this off - not one that is "marginal" or "adequate". Here's some tips on bringing back your pool through chemical management and good filtering.
a). Clean the pool very well. Every bit of organic debris in the pool will make the job more difficult. Use a leaf net (the bag type) to remove as much leaves and debris as you can, from the surface and the floor of the pool. You will not be able to bring back the pool if it is filled with debris. Vacuum to waste, if you have a multiport valve. The more debris and algae that is manually removed, the easier the job will be, and the more efficiently your chemicals will act.
b). Before shocking the pool, balance the water and lower the pH level. Adjust the Total Alkalinity level to between 80-120ppm, and the Calcium Hardness levels to 180-220ppm. Then lower the pH level to the 7.2 range. Your chlorine shock will be much more effective at a lower pH level, and - as an added benefit, algae hates a low pH level, but thrives at pH levels of 7.8 or higher.
C). Introduce enough chlorine to raise the chlorine level to 30ppm. This is difficult to test with a standard test kit, but it roughly equates to 2 lbs of shock per 10000 gallons. A rule of thumb I like to use is to keep shocking the pool until you see the water turn a blue/gray color - or until all of the green color has dissipated. If the green color returns in a day or two, repeat the process.
d). Run the filter 24/7 until the water clears. Backwash only when the pressure gauge rises 8-10 lbs above the clean, starting pressure.
e). Add a clarifier, following label directions, to assist in coagulating suspended particles.
f). Brush the pool very well, and then vacuum to waste again.

Standing in the Council/
Michael S. Heiser
Most people think a prophet is someone empowered by God to foretell the future. No doubt, prophets announced God's intentions, but forecasting future events wasn't their primary job description. A prophet's chief task was to serve as God's mouthpiece to His covenant people Israel and to her enemies. So how did someone become a prophet? Was there some sort of heavenly qualification? In fact, there was.
You might think the standard for a prophet was whether their words came to pass exactly as uttered (Deut 18:15–22). But that's actually a bi-product of the real litmus test, which we read about in Jeremiah:
For who among them has stood in the council (sôd, סוד) of the Lord to see and to hear his word, or who has paid attention to his word and listened? [The LORD says] … "If they had stood in my council (sôd, סוד), then they would have proclaimed my words to my people." (Jer 23:18, 22 ESV)
What does it mean to "stand in the council"? Jeremiah elaborates: "to see and to hear his word … to pay attention to his word and listen." The one essential test of a prophet—that preceded their ability to deliver a divine message—was that the prophet had to see and hear God in His council.
In the Bible, God and His heavenly host were thought to live and conduct business in the divine throne room. This assembly, with God as its CEO, is called "a divine council" (Psa 82:1; 89:5–7).1 God chose prophets and commissioned them directly for ministry. When a prophet "stood in the council," they had a direct encounter with God in His throne room. This motif of "standing in the council" is a repeated pattern in the Bible.
In the case of Isaiah, the prophet was transported to the throne room of Yahweh (Isa 6:1–6) to receive his call to service (Isa 6:8–9). For Ezekiel, the circumstances were reversed, with the throne of the LORD coming to him (Ezek 1:1–14, 26–28). Jeremiah was also commissioned via a direct encounter with God. At the beginning of his ministry the "word of the LORD" came to him (Jer 1:4) and appointed him a prophet. The "word" is identified as Yahweh (Jer 1:6–7) who has come in human form. He reaches out His hand to touch Jeremiah's mouth (Jer 1:9). It was this encounter that distinguished Jeremiah from false prophets.
The pattern began with the first man, Adam, as Job 15:7–8 indicates: "Are you the first man who was born? Or were you brought forth before the hills? Have you listened in the council (sôd, סוד) of God? Have you restricted wisdom to yourself?" Eden was the abode of God and his heavenly host. If Job could say he had such access, then he could speak with authority about his innocence.
Proceeding from Adam, Enoch and Noah "walked with God" (Gen 5:22, 24; 6:9). The former "prophesied" (Jude 14–15), while the latter is called a "herald of righteousness" (2 Pet 2:5). God appeared visibly to Abraham (Gen 12:1–3; 15:1–6; compare Acts 7:2–4), Isaac (Gen 26:1–5) and Jacob (Gen 28:10–22; 31:11–13; 32:22–32; compare Hosea 12:3–4). Moses was commissioned at the burning bush (Exod 3:1–15). The elders of Israel under Moses were commissioned directly by Yahweh (Num 11:24–25), as was Joshua (Deut 31:14–23; Josh 5:13–15). The book of Judges records dramatic appearances to Gideon (Judg 6) and the "word" of the Lord "appearing" to Samuel, the last of Israel's judges, when he was a boy: It "stood" (1 Sam 3:10) before Samuel to inform him of Eli's fate.
Many New Testament figures also began their ministries with a direct divine commissioning. For example, the Father and the Spirit were present at Jesus' baptism (Matt 3:16–17), an event that told astute observers that Jesus was in the prophetic line. Paul's famous encounter with the risen Christ on the road to Damascus was crucial to proving his status as an apostle in the prophetic tradition (Acts 9:1–9; 1 Cor 9:1; 15:8). And it is no accident that the commissioning of the disciples at Pentecost was accompanied by divine fire (Acts 2:1–4), since fire is a frequent element of divine throne room commissioning scenes in the Old Testament (Exod 3:1–3; 24:17; Isa 6:6–7; 66:15; Ezek 1:4, 13, 27; Dan 7:9–11).2
Amazingly, the New Testament applies this commissioning to every believer. Every Christian is united to Christ and is commissioned to not only spread the gospel (Matt 28:18–20), but also to be Jesus to the world (2 Cor 3:18; 4:11; 2 Tim 1:9; 1 Pet 2:21; 2 Pet 1:4). Every believer is Christ's ambassador (2 Cor 5:20), having met Christ through the gospel. As the prophets before us, we are now God's mouthpieces.

The stature and growth of golf in Asia was further confirmed today with the announcement by the International Federation of PGA Tours, HSBC, the China Golf Association and the Shanghai Administration of Sport that the HSBC Champions will become part of the PGA TOUR's FedExCup schedule, with money earned counting as official money on the PGA TOUR, and the winner earning a three-year exemption on the PGA TOUR, with the opportunity to join the organization if he is a non-member. The HSBC Champions will also award full FedExCup points, plus the 10 percent premium awarded by all World Golf Championships compared to a regular PGA TOUR event.
The total purse will also increase from US$7 million to US$8.5 million. These changes bring the HSBC Champions in line with the other three World Golf Championships played in the United States. Considered some of the most prestigious and important events on golf's calendar, the World Golf Championships were developed to bring the world's best players together and have since 1999 delivered the highest-quality, most international fields in the sport. With today's announcement, HSBC was proud to announce a new era, extending its title sponsorship of the HSBC Champions for three additional years, through 2015.
Further, the HSBC Champions, which enjoyed a successful, one-year staging on the Olazabal Course at Mission Hills Golf Club Guangdong this week, will return to Shanghai permanently with an official signing ceremony taking place at HSBC's Headquarters in Shanghai on November 5. In 2013, the event will once again be played at the Sheshan International Golf Club in Shanghai, where it was staged for seven years (2005-2011). The 2013 HSBC Champions is scheduled for Oct. 28-Nov. 3.
Underscoring the importance of the event's new era and the excitement surrounding the future of the HSBC Champions was the attendance of the following dignitaries for the announcement: PGA TOUR Commissioner Tim Finchem; The European Tour Chief Executive George O'Grady CBE; HSBC Global Head of Sponsorship and Events Giles Morgan; Shanghai Administration of Sports Director Li Yuyi; China Golf Association Executive Vice President and Secretary General Zhang Xiaoning; and Asian Tour Executive Chairman Kyi Hla Han.
Morgan said, "This is a genuine landmark moment for HSBC and its sponsorship of golf. As we approach our 10th year as a major international sponsor of this great game, it seems entirely fitting that we are making this highly significant announcement.
"This is not so much a renewal as a rebirth – it's a new dawn for HSBC Champions and for Asian golf which is now right at the top table of world golf.
"When we first came to China in 2005, our ambition was to create a world-class international golf tournament in an emerging market. Eight years on and the HSBC Champions, complete with full FedExCup points and an increased prize fund, is up there with the very best, and today's announcement represents a major step forward for golf in China.
"As importantly, our involvement in golf at this elite level is underpinned by our continuing sponsorship of youth development and grassroots programmes, including the HSBC China Junior Open.
"As a global financial services organisation, we pride ourselves on opening up a world of opportunities for people and the HSBC Champions has proved to be the perfect stage for golf in Asia to come of age. We look forward to the next chapter in the World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions story, and that chapter starts today."
Finchem said, "HSBC has made an incredible commitment to this event, the World Golf Championships as a whole and the development of golf in Asia on a global scale, and we're excited that today's announcement further elevates the HSBC Champions in a way that matches the prominence and prestige of the event's title sponsor. Some of the world's best players have won the HSBC Champions in its short but impressive history, and as an official PGA TOUR event and part of the FedExCup beginning in 2013, that trend will only be enhanced."
O'Grady said, "We welcome the announcement of HSBC's continued support of the final World Golf Championships event of the year, which will further enhance the end of The European Tour season in the run-in to the DP World Tour Championship and the culmination of The Race to Dubai. HSBC has been an outstanding supporter of The European Tour over the past decade, and we thank them not only for their leadership in helping bring a first World Golf Championship to China, but also for their continued sponsorship of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship in January."
Li said, "We'd like to express our thanks to HSBC for their continued support to Shanghai Sports. In the future, we will make joint efforts in developing HSBC Champions, such an outstanding and prestigious golf event, after its return to Shanghai next year. It will not only promote the transformation of Shanghai Sports, but also enhance the development of Shanghai as an international metropolis."
Zhang said, "We welcome HSBC's continued support of this mega event, the World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions, and its return to Shanghai. HSBC Champions furthered the growth of the game of golf in China and Asia in the past few years. We hope the event will continue to play an important role to help grow the game of golf and improve the competition level of China."
Han said, "On behalf of the Asian Tour, I would like to express our fullest appreciation to HSBC for its extended commitment to the game of golf at the highest level in Asia. The World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions continues to set the benchmark for professional golf Asia and around the world and being the only World Golf Championships event in Asia, its importance to the development of the game in our region is unparalleled. We look forward to three more years of great success."
Robbie Henchman, global co-managing director of IMG Golf, the tournament promoters, added, "Since we founded this tournament together with HSBC in 2005, we have watched it grow exponentially into Asia's flagship event. We are very proud, together with our partners HSBC, the International Federation of PGA Tours and CGA, to play a part in this exciting new era for the World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions."
The HSBC Champions is one of four World Golf Championships events sanctioned and organized by the operational committee of the International Federation of PGA Tours, which includes the Asian Tour, European Tour, Japan Golf Tour, PGA TOUR, PGA Tour of Australasia and Sunshine Tour. The other World Golf Championships are the Accenture Match Play Championship, Cadillac Championship and the Bridgestone Invitational.
The HSBC Champions, which began in 2005 and was elevated to the elite stable of World Golf Championships events in 2009, has boasted an impressive, international list of winners since its inception. The following marquee players have won the coveted HSBC Champions title: England's David Howell (2005); South Korea's YE Yang (2006); USA's Phil Mickelson (2007 and 2009); Spain's Sergio Garcia (2008); Italy's Francesco Molinari (2010); Germany's Martin Kaymer (2011).

HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — Asian markets ended on a mixed note Tuesday, with shares in Tokyo slipping after a roller-coaster ride in the wake of the Bank of Japan's monetary policy decision, while South Korean stocks advanced amid gains for the yen.
Japan's Nikkei Stock Average NIK, +0.40% saw big moves on either side of the previous day's close before ending down 0.4% at 10,709.93.
Local stocks jumped immediately after the Bank of Japan said it would adopt a firm inflation target of 2% and pursue "open-ended" asset purchases from 2014. But the market let those gains slip away as the central bank didn't set a deadline for the inflation target, nor announce any additional monetary stimulus for 2013. Read full story on the Bank of Japan decision.
"I see this as a bit of a correction," said Shane Oliver, head of investment strategy at AMP Capital Investors, but said he saw gains for Japanese stocks as consumer prices in the country begin to approach the new target.
"A huge chunk of money is going to be pumped into the Japanese economy," Oliver said. "It's a major policy development to add to other major developments" such as U.S. fiscal issues and a delay to implementation of Basel III reforms.
Elsewhere in the region, South Korea's Kospi 180721, -0.14% rose 0.5%, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index HSI, +0.74% climbed 0.3% and Australia's S&P/ASX 200 XJO, +0.33% ended flat.
China's Shanghai Composite Index 000001, +2.38% finished 0.6% lower on profit-taking after recent advances.
U.S. markets were slated to reopen Tuesday after Monday's holiday, with investors expected to focus on several earnings reports due later in the day. U.S. equity index futures were indicating a weaker start, with Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.19% futures down 32 points, or 0.2%, at 13,544. Read: 5 earnings reports to watch Tuesday.
Stock movers
In Tokyo, the yen overcame initial weakness in the wake of Bank of Japan's decision to rebound against major currencies, sending local stocks lower. Among exporters, Komatsu Ltd. 6301, +0.00% KMTUY, -0.25% fell 1.2% and Toyota Motor Corp. TM, -0.18% 7203, +0.14% retreated 0.9%.
Olympus Corp. 7733, -1.76% OCPNY, -1.18% jumped 6.6% after its shares were taken off a Tokyo Stock Exchange list for a possible delisting.
Kirin Holdings Co. 2503, -0.71% KNBWY, -0.70% rose 3.2% following reports that Thai billionaire Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi had increased his offer to buy Singapore-listed Fraser & Neave Ltd. F99, +0.00% FNEVF, -2.64%.
Kirin, along with a group led by property firm Overseas Union Enterprise Ltd. LJ3, +0.00%, had previously made an offer to buy Fraser & Neave.
In Singapore afternoon trading, Fraser and Neave shares were down 2%, while Overseas Union stock climbed 4.4%. Read: Kirin says no decision yet on Fraser & Neave stake.
Stocks rose in Seoul, meanwhile, as a firmer yen provided support to the South Korean exporters who compete with Japanese rivals in several industries. Hyundai Motor Co. HYMTF, -6.67% 005380, +1.61% rose 1.9%, Kia Motors Corp. KIMTF, +0.00% 000270, +0.95% added 1.7% and Samsung Electronics Co. 005930, -0.23% SSNLF, +0.00% advanced 1.8%.
Korea Gas Corp. 036460, -0.13% tumbled 6.8% on reports the firm had scrapped a fund-raising plan.
Property-sector losses weighed on mainland Chinese stocks, with Gemdale Corp. 600383, -0.65% losing 1.3% and Poly Real Estate Group Co. 600048, +0.77% falling 2.1%.
In Sydney, MacMahon Holdings Ltd. MAH, -2.78% MCHHF, -8.18% jumped 5.9% after signing its largest-ever mining deal, a $1.9 billion contract to expand a Fortescue Metals Group Ltd. FMG, +2.85% FSUMF, -2.77% mine. Shares of Fortescue rose 2.4%. Read: Macmahon snags huge Fortescue mine contract.
AMP's Shane Oliver said that while miners should benefit from an improvement in economic outlook for Japan — one of Australia's biggest trading partners — currency-market reaction to Japan's deflation fighting moves could be a "fly in the ointment."
The Bank of Japan move will likely encourage more people to use the yen to fund carry trades into the Australian dollar. This could push the Australian currency to even loftier levels, making business conditions more difficult for Australian exporters and manufacturers, he said.
