It came perfectly packaged with no damage. The unit is very clean and sleek looking and easy to set-up. I hooked it up under my sink and ran it directly to the tank's sump via a auto top off switch. I did alot of research for ro/di units and this is one of the best values out there imo. RO/DI 5 Stage Plus By Brian on 7/7/2012 Brian would recommend this product to a friend Just got mine up and running I couldn't be happier, fast shipping, quality construction and reasonable price makes this the best bang for the buck, will be buying several more products over the next 6 months or so. I highly recommend BRS. Built solidly. Simple and complete By Nathan on 7/5/2012 Nathan would recommend this product to a friend The 5 stage plus system is built on a metal frame, which is much less flimsy than the plastic bracket on the BRS bio pellet reactor. It makes water at a slow trickle but if you set up a water reservoir with a float valve andan aqua lifter pump you'll have plenty of water on demand. I had an old bathroom sink that I used the drain saddle on for my drain, unfortunately my bathroom sink had one inch pipe not 1.5 like the saddle valve. I couldnt find a drain saddle for a 1 inch drain pipe ai I had to upgrade my sink drain p trap to bigger to get the drain saddle to fit. This kit had everything I needed otherwise and makes 0tds water no problem. Great Product By Ron on 7/4/2012 Ron would recommend this product to a friend This is by far the best deal for the money. Great product, speedy delivery and great price. Great system By Todd on 7/4/2012 Todd would recommend this product to a friend Excellent product quality and great price,and easy to install.Another great product from BRS Essential product By David on 7/2/2012 David would recommend this product to a friend I started my tank using tap water because i didn't want to buy water from the LFS. I soon realized that RO/DI is the way to go. This unit is easy to set up and use. Surprisingly efficient By Jacob on 6/30/2012 Jacob would recommend this product to a friend I bought this unit about 8 months ago but wasn't ready to fill my tank until about 5 months ago. It came with everything I needed and has worked great from then until now with light use (I'd be surprised if more than 1000 gallons have entered it). It has always read 0 tds at the output both with the included tester and another tester I've got. Over time I've been less happy with how much water goes down the drain and I've been thinking of how to reduce it or use it. I considered the 150 GPD upgrade, and decided to buy it (hasn't arrived yet), and then for the first time actually measured the output ratio so I'd be able to get a before/after. And: At 49.5 PSI on the gauge before the membrane, with 24.1C/75.4F water, about 2.6 gallons are wasted for every 1.0 produced. As far as I know, that's a really good ratio for an RO unit, especially with my water pressure. I am still looking forward to installing the upgrade kit, though, to boost production rate and waste even less water. One bad thing - and it's not the product's fault - is that I just got my city's water report in the mail today and discovered the "Highest Level Detected" of "Chloramines (as Chlorine)" was 2.6 ppm. So now it looks like I should have bought the chloramine unit instead. I think I can convert this unit though by buying substitute cartridges for about $40. I have 2 clowns, a coral beauty, a flameback, 4 blue/red-leg hermit crabs, and 2 snails (Trochus I think) that have all lived for a few months so maybe the chloramines are somehow being filtered out by this unit, my livestock is particularly hardy, or I'm just lucky. Maybe the water report was a lie. I may convert my unit anyways just to be sure. Great Product By Keith on 6/29/2012 Keith would recommend this product to a friend I looked at buying a ro/di unit for awhile and BRS has the best deal of them all. It came complete and ready to use. No extra fittings to buy and the several different options to hook it up. These guys are great Excellent! By M on 6/29/2012 M would recommend this product to a friend The unit arrived very well packed and completely assembled. The only thing that needed to be installed was the R/O tubing which literally snapped into place and the mounting of the unit itself to the wall, which is optional. I ordered an additional 30' of 1/4 R/O tubing so I could run the DI output directly from the laundry room where it's mounted to my ATO resevoir. I have been buying distilled water for top-off, so this unit will pay for itself in a matter of a few months and the filters and membrane won't need to be replaced for likely a couple of years since I'm only using the unit for top-off. It's also rather nice not having to lug 10 gallons of distilled water in the house every week pouring them in the ATO one by one trying not to spill...great product, great price, great quality. Easy to use By KC3 on 6/24/2012 KC3 would recommend this product to a friend Even for a "non-plummer", this system is extremely easy to use and produces perfect RO/DI water. Save yourself the hassle of running to the store for water, buy this unit. With all the included connections, its easy to find one that will work in your home. It is worth buying the accessory faucet connections... if you don't purchase it now, you may find you need it like I did! Amazing By Michael on 6/20/2012 Michael would recommend this product to a friend I'm not going to lie, I had no idea what RO/DI was when any of my LFS's kept telling me about it. After doing the research I knew it was something I wanted in my home. 100% WELL WORTH THE MONEY! When you factor in cost of gas (to and from the fish store), cost per gallon (depending on size of tank), and the fact that you go to the fish store every time you run the possibility of leaving with something you didn't intend to (quite common), you save yourself a FORTUNE. Plus, to top everything off, I now use this for my drinking water, cooking water, etc. Definitely a well worth investment in my personal opinion. Best on market for price By Micah on 6/20/2012 Micah would recommend this product to a friend This is a great system. Very professional service, great packing and shipping, and great product. Very easy to set up, run for a hour to clear debris, and ready to roll. This cannot be beat at this price. good ro unit By Derrick on 6/20/2012 Derrick would recommend this product to a friend well built ro unit, everything was assembled and ready to go, a must have for a successful reefer! Great Deal! By Bryan on 6/16/2012 Bryan would recommend this product to a friend Worth the investment! The only thing I didn't like was the fact that it came with a ASOV but no float valve.... BRS why you do this to me? Great deal! By Bryan on 6/16/2012 Bryan would recommend this product to a friend nice product to invest in! The only one thing I didnt like was the fact that it came with a ASOV but not a float valve. BRS why you do this to me... A Must Buy! By Justin on 6/10/2012 Justin would recommend this product to a friend Great value for a great product. Install was easy and even if you aren't Do It Yourself Bulk Reef Supply has how to videos and articles on how to install and run your RO/DI so if you want a good deal on a RO/DI system this is a must for all aquarium hobbyists. Excellent RO/DI By Manny on 6/6/2012 Manny would recommend this product to a friend I ordered this system because of its many features that come included that I didn't have to add later, like the TDS meter, PSI gauge, etc. It is easy to use and it being my first one, I was looking for simplicity. It comes with all the hookups you could want for the outdoor hose, under the sink, etc. I would highly recommend this to everyone. Not lugging 5 gal jugs anymore By Rudy on 6/6/2012 Rudy would recommend this product to a friend Ordered this RO/DI system and I'm very pleased with the results. It was very easy to set up. I also ordered the extra filter for removing any extra taste since we are also using it for drinking water. Easy installation if you watch the BRS video. Water tastes great an I'm making plenty of tank water and use a 55 gal drum for storage. No more buying water (fresh or salt) from the LFS. Price was great too. Great buy By mdvgator on 6/4/2012 mdvgator would recommend this product to a friend I just bought this unit after years of going to the LFS and buying water from them. Although it's easier to just by saltwater then mixing it, this is much more convenient as I don't have to drive to get it. The unit was very easy to set up and it comes with every attachment you would ever need. Having the TDS meter and the water pressure gauge is even better. I will be buying the upgrade to 150g/day so I don't have as much waste water. I would recommend this highly. Great Product By Kate on 6/1/2012 Kate would recommend this product to a friend Very well made product with easy to follow instructions very good product By Joshua on 6/1/2012 Joshua would recommend this product to a friend Very easy to understand instructions. Easy install. Reliable product. I'd definitely recommend the "plus" system over the standard. The pressure gauge, TDS meter, and flush valve are worth the extra $$ up front. I have a smaller reef system 29 gallon--have had this system for almost a year and haven't had to change any filters yet--still measuring 0 TDS. I make about 6-7 gallons a week. I agree with other reviewers that the only downside is the waste water. In the summer I use it for gardening--goes down the drain in the winter. Buy one really good!!! By Mike on 5/31/2012 Mike would recommend this product to a friend really good for the $ and damn it works so good 0 TDI!!! Good Performance for a good price By Bill on 5/29/2012 Bill would recommend this product to a friend The system was easy to install. It didn't work very well for me at first but iti wasn't the systems fault, I have well water and the water pressure wasn't high enough so I had to purchase a booster pump. Now it works like a champ! Great Shipping By Terry on 5/25/2012 Terry would recommend this product to a friend After researching reef setups, the water quality is the main component in having a successful tank. So I bought the best RODI that I could find and this is it!!!

- Did you know?
- Great whites can detect one drop of blood in 25 gal (100 L) of water and can sense even tiny amounts of blood in the water up to 3 mi (5 km) away.
- Size relative to a bus:
The legendary great white shark is far more fearsome in our imaginations than in reality. As scientific research on these elusive predators increases, their image as mindless killing machines is beginning to fade.
Of the 100-plus annual shark attacks worldwide, fully one-third to one-half are attributable to great whites. However, most of these are not fatal, and new research finds that great whites, who are naturally curious, are "sample biting" then releasing their victims rather than preying on humans. It's not a terribly comforting distinction, but it does indicate that humans are not actually on the great white's menu.
Great whites are the largest predatory fish on Earth. They grow to an average of 15 feet (4.6 meters) in length, though specimens exceeding 20 feet (6 meters) and weighing up to 5,000 pounds (2,268 kilograms) have been recorded.
They have slate-gray upper bodies to blend in with the rocky coastal sea floor, but get their name from their universally white underbellies. They are streamlined, torpedo-shaped swimmers with powerful tails that can propel them through the water at speeds of up to 15 miles (24 kilometers) per hour. They can even leave the water completely, breaching like whales when attacking prey from underneath.
Highly adapted predators, their mouths are lined with up to 300 serrated, triangular teeth arranged in several rows, and they have an exceptional sense of smell to detect prey. They even have organs that can sense the tiny electromagnetic fields generated by animals. Their main prey items include sea lions, seals, small toothed whales, and even sea turtles, and carrion.
Found in cool, coastal waters throughout the world, there is no reliable data on the great white's population. However, scientists agree that their number are decreasing precipitously due to overfishing and accidental catching in gill nets, among other factors, and they are listed as an endangered species.

Obesity means having too much body fat. It is not the same as being overweight, which means weighing too much. A person may be overweight from extra muscle, bone, or water, as well as from having too much fat.
Both terms mean that a person's weight is higher than what is thought to be healthy for his or her height.
Morbid obesity; Fat - obese
Taking in more calories than you burn can lead to obesity because the body stores unused calories as fat. Obesity can be caused by:
Many obese people who lose large amounts of weight and gain it back think it is their fault. They blame themselves for not having the willpower to keep the weight off. Many people regain more weight than they lost.
Today, we know that biology is a big reason why some people cannot keep the weight off. Some people who live in the same place and eat the same foods become obese, while others do not. Our bodies have a complex system to help keep our weight at a healthy level. In some people, this system does not work normally.
The way we eat when we are children can affect the way we eat as adults.
The way we eat over many years becomes a habit, affecting what we eat, when we eat, and how much we eat.
We are surrounded by things that make it easy to overeat and hard to stay active.
The term "eating disorder" means a group of medical conditions that have an unhealthy focus on eating, dieting, losing or gaining weight, and body image. A person may be obese, follow an unhealthy diet, and have an eating disorder all at the same time.
Sometimes, medical problems or treatments cause weight gain, including:
Other things that can cause weight gain are:
The health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask questions about your medical history, eating habits, and exercise routine.
The two most common ways to assess your weight and measure health risks related to your weight are:
BMI is calculated using height and weight. You and your health care provider can use your BMI to estimate how much body fat you have.
Your waist measurement is another way to estimate how much body fat you have. Extra weight around your middle or stomach area increases your risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. People with "apple-shaped" bodies (meaning their waist is bigger than their hips) also have an increased risk for these diseases.
Skin fold measurements may be taken to check your body fat percentage.
Blood tests may be done to look for thyroid or hormone problems that could lead to weight gain. However, these tests are usually normal.
An active lifestyle and plenty of exercise, along with healthy eating, is the safest way to lose weight. Even modest weight loss can improve your health. You will need a lot of support from family and friends.
When dieting, your main goal should be to learn new, healthy ways of eating
and make them a part of your daily routine.
Many people find it hard to change their eating habits and behaviors
. You may have practiced some habits for so long that you may not even know they are unhealthy, or you do them without thinking. You need to be motivated to make lifestyle changes. Make the behavior change part of your life over the long term. Know that it takes time to make and keep a change in your lifestyle.
Work with your health care provider and dietitian to set realistic, safe daily calorie counts that help you lose weight while staying healthy. Remember that if you drop pounds slowly and steadily, you are more likely to keep them off. Your dietitian can teach you about:
Extreme diets (fewer than 1,100 calories per day) are not thought to be safe or to work very well. These types of diets often do not contain enough vitamins and minerals. Most people who lose weight this way return to overeating and become obese again.
Learn new ways to manage stress, rather than snacking. Examples may be meditation, yoga, or exercise. If you are depressed or stressed a lot, talk to your health care provider.
You may see ads for supplements and herbal remedies
that claim they will help you lose weight. Many of these claims are not true. Some of these supplements can have serious side effects. Talk to your health care provider before using them.
You can discuss weight loss drugs with your doctor. Most people lose between 5 and 10 pounds by taking these drugs. Most people also regain the weight when they stop taking the medicine, unless they have made lasting lifestyle changes.
Bariatric surgery can reduce the risk of disease in people with severe obesity. These risks include:
Surgery may help people who have been very obese for 5 years or more and have not lost weight from other treatments, such as diet, exercise, or medicine.
Surgery alone is not the answer for weight loss. It can train you to eat less, but you still have to do much of the work. You must be committed to diet and exercise after surgery. Talk to your doctor to learn if this is a good option for you.
Weight-loss surgeries include:
Many people find it easier to follow a diet and exercise program if they join a group of people with similar problems.
Obesity is a major health threat. The extra weight puts added stress on every part of your body and creates many risks to your health

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- A report surfaced the same day Louisville moved to the ACC claiming football coach Charlie Strong had talked to someone connected to Auburn's football program.
It also came just days before the Cards' game against Rutgers to determine a Big East Champion. Strong is adamant however that there was no interview.
WHAS11's Kent Spencer talked to a UofL spokesman who assured us Charlie Strong says the report that says he interviewed for the Auburn job is not true.
This is not the first time Charlie Strong has been connected to an opening. It is now something that's become common practice. Click on the video player above for the full story.

Beyond Pumpkin Pie: 15 Delicious Thanksgiving Desserts
Recipe Roundup
What's going on your Thanksgiving dessert table this year? From coast to coast it seems there is always a requisite pumpkin pie (mine has fresh ginger and a graham cracker crust). Pecan and mince pies are also required in some gatherings. But after those staunch traditions come the corner desserts, the one or two wild cards squeezed in between pies for post-dessert nibbles, or to satisfy those who will just never love pumpkin pie. These are often the most interesting desserts on the holiday table — Aunt Sue's bourbon balls, the Canadian cousins' Nanaimo bars, Mom's cranberry cake. These fill-in desserts are some of my favorites on the holiday table, so that's what we're talking about today.
Take this lineup we have for you: Cranberry curd bars in a walnut shortbread crust, (which caused a virtual stampede at the joint Thanksgiving Emma and I threw last year) and a buttery, over-the-top apple cake with a boozy sauce. There's spiced apple cider sorbet in case you want something lighter, and tender pumpkin crumb cakes. We threw in a couple pies, too, just to keep with the sweet spirit of America's biggest pie-eating day.
The best part of these desserts is that they're good all season-round; unlike pumpkin pie, which often feels bound to its traditional holiday, I'm willing to bet that most of us would happily eat a slice of browned butterscotch pie any day of the year.
• 1 Cranberry Curd Bars with Walnut Shortbread Crust - Hot pink and tangy. Total showstopper.
• 2 Cranberry Cake - Simple, rich cake with pops of fresh cranberries.
• 3 Baked Apples with Cranberry Sauce - A lighter, more fruit-centric option.
• 4 Cranberry Tart with Hazelnut Crust - Another bejeweled way to showcase cranberries and their beauty.
• 5 Spiced Apple Jellies With Yogurt Mousse - Light, refreshing, easy to make ahead.
• 6 Spiced Apple Cider Sorbet - Lovely palate-cleanser after all the richness.
• 7 Free-Form Apple Tart - Simple, perfectly elegant.
• 8 Sticky Spiked Double-Apple Cake with a Brown Sugar-Brandy Sauce - This cake takes every cake you've ever had and rolls them up into a ball. It wins, hands down.
• 9 Deconstructed Caramel Apple "Pie" À La Mode - Another lighter way to approach Thanksgiving dessert.
• 10 Pumpkin Spice Rice Krispie Treats - For the kids! (And maybe a few grownups too.)
• 11 Pumpkin Crumb Cakes - These crumb cakes are tender and gooey with spiced pumpkin.
• 12 Maple & Squash Pumpkin Pie Popsicles - Pumpkin pie, in popsicle form! Good for those of you celebrating in warmer climes.
• 13 Old-Fashioned Pecan Pie: A Corn Syrup-Free Recipe - Gotta have pecan pie, and this is the best one we know.
• 14 Browned Butter Butterscotch Pie - How can you say no?
• 15 Chocolate Chess Pie - For those of you who want a little chocolate in your Thanksgiving.
What are your favorite "fill-in" Thanksgiving desserts? Do you put out a plate of cookies? Fudge? Ice cream? What sits beside the pie on your dessert table?

Not a fan of the more ice cream/ sorbet/ popsicle choices on here (for holidays its just a million times easier to have desserts out and read to go in our home as opposed to the short life of frozen desserts)
We've never once made pumpkin pie in my family. Strictly pecan and then something else we usually decide the week of. We've done cheesecakes, cakes, all sorts of things. If we were having oodles of family over (usually just about 6 or 7) we'd make more, smaller dessert type bites though.
Those cranberry bars are BOMB. I made them last year and they were so. freaking. good. They are now on the regular menu for both thanksgiving and christmas.
Martha has an awesome cranberry-almond-cinnamon tart that is very delicious. The filling is almonds butter and sugar and you put candied cranberries on top. But everyone in my house loves pumpkin, apple and pecan so I can't argue with that...
forget the typical pecan pie and make Turtle Tart instead. This recipe was shared with me by Art & Soul restaurant in DC and it is incredible!
I'm planning to serve something chocolate-y to appease the pumpkin haters!
I have made the Sticky Spiced Double Apple Cake several times and it is unbelievably, amazingly, fantastic.
In fact, I think I'll go make some now.
I'll be making pumpkin ginger pots de creme. I don't actually have a recipe, but I made pumpkin ginger roulade last year, and am dying to do something similar (but gluten free) again. :D
The apple jellies would be great in shooter size so that people could have a taste and still have room for pie.
Ha ha! I read too fast and it looked like "Cranberry Crud Bars", which does not sound appetizing.
The BEST gluten-free fall dessert. Not too sweet-we've only done the sweet potato version, but I'm sure its delicious with pumpkin as well. We make the batter and then put it in the food processor to make it really smooth. And we just use cinnamon and nutmeg as the spices.

Opinion: Did Intel just break my glasses?
15 comments post a comment
What's going on?
I feel like the nerdy schoolkid who has just had one of the lenses in his spectacles broken. I can still see but everthing is a bit blurred and fractured.
First it was the dropping of the chip market's book-to-bill ratio for the global chip industry. OK that was some time ago in January 1997. But it still represented the passing of useful market indicator that shows whether the market was going up, down or was on the turn.
But more recently has been the withdrawal of foundries Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. and United Microelectronics Corp. from the SICAS project (Semiconductor International Capacity Statistics) to measure semiconductor wafer production capacity. And now it is the similar withdrawal of Advanced Micro Devices Inc. and Intel Corp. from the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) organization.
The latest we have heard is that the Semiconductor Industry Association has pulled the plug on the whole SICAS report.
Both the SICAS and WSTS programs rely on being able to capture and aggregate data from multiple companies to give the larger market picture. In the case of WSTS the raw numbers are then multiplied up to give a global figure based on a factor that is cross-correlated with other market research data.
Some people think that the semiconductor industry is maturing and becoming more like the automotive industry a market dominated by a few large players and showing single-digit annual percentage growth. Others think there is plenty of life in a youthful chip business that has just been going through some growing pains recently.
One thing's for sure is that the chip business continues to change.

I use the Internet for something specific or I am in a hurry, and cookbooks when I have the leisure to browse and be inspired.
This one is all about recipes. Where do you get your recipes these days? Are you a fan of a good cookbook (other than our favorite!)? Do you immediately turn to the internet? Do you use mostly recipes from family or friends? Or do you fall into the "what's a recipe?" camp? Do tell!

"Most of the bell ringers that I've worked with enjoy doing it because they get to see others giving back to the community," Wilson said. "And they know by them standing there [they also are] helping the community.
"Everybody — when you get out of the car, for example at a Walmart, hears the bell [and you] automatically know what it is. So you see the children coming up saying, 'Mom, can I give to The Salvation Army?' That tugs at my heartstrings because I've got kids and [kids in general] look forward to giving to the kettle."
The Salvation Army's Cartersville Corps currently is recruiting volunteers for its Red Kettle campaign that will begin Wednesday. Through Dec. 24, the bell ringers will man Red Kettle stations each Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., outside various Cartersville locations, including Belk, Kmart, Kroger, Walmart, Hobby Lobby, Big Lots and Ingles Markets on Joe Frank Harris Parkway and West Avenue.
"We are looking for volunteers — individuals or groups — to take four-hour time slots," Lt. Michelle Wilson said. "... Right now, before we start the campaign, we've only got about 20 percent of our slots filled up with volunteers and obviously the more volunteers we get the better the program is for us because then we don't have to either have a place go unmanned, which [will result] in loss of income, or we have to hire someone and pay them to be out there and help us.
"Definitely volunteers do a better job. They know more people in the community. They rally support. They're excited about it. So any volunteers, we'll work with [anyone]. If it's a family who wants to go out and do it, if it's a civic group, if it's a high school club — any age group range, we can work with and try to accommodate."
This year, the nonprofit hopes to match last year's Red Kettle total of $40,000. If successful, the campaign's proceeds will account for about 20 percent of the local Salvation Army's operating budget, which includes providing social services to financially struggling residents.
"These funds go right back into direct community services, [such as] providing Christmas toys and gifts for children," Michelle Wilson said. "We're looking at about 1,000 children that we're going to be providing Christmas assistance to this year. It goes to our food pantry, which the numbers are through the roof with our ... assistance right now. We're helping about 100 people a week through our food pantry.
"And then [it helps fund] the direct financial assistance for helping pay past due or disconnected utility accounts. Probably the last five months, we've been doing on average about $6,000 a month in that type of direct assistance. ... This is our one time of year that we do the public fundraising campaign. The great thing about the Kettle program is whether you give a penny or you give a $100 bill, it all comes together and all adds up together. The change you throw in the bucket, ends up changing people's lives."

Looking for Texas fertilizer plant explosion facts
The West Fertilizer Company plant explosion in West, Texas, is an international news story without many details having been provided by law enforcement, fire investigators or emergency services directors.
The number of deaths has not been confirmed but has fluctuated from around a dozen to 70 in the news media, which is scrambling to grab readers with sensational headlines and be the first with the "latest news."
What is known is that the initial fire call from the fertilizer plant occurred at 7:29 p.m. Wednesday night, and 24 minutes later as firefighters, police and paramedics were at the site and evacuating nearby residents the devastating explosion that measured an equivalent of a 2.1 magnitude earthquake shook the small town.
The cause of the fire and explosion is completely unknown at this time.
As for what fertilizer has been produced at the site and the volume of various chemicals on the site, nothing concrete has been released to the media; therefore, there is all kinds of speculation about the volume and type of fertilizer ingredients on the site. Initial reports were about large volumes of anhydrous ammonia. Ammonium nitrate has been mentioned by consumer media comparing the blast to the Oklahoma City bombing.
Everything is speculation because as of 10 a.m. Thursday morning there still had not been a West Fertilizer official stepping forward to answer media questions, and the government investigators weren't in a situation to provide details. The search for bodies was still in progress and the whereabouts of everyone in the community was still being accounted for.
It was interesting to see the media putting together side stories of blame without any basis for the explosion. Reporters dug back into the regulatory reports to find the most recent violation write-up was for a 10-minute release of anhydrous ammonia occurring in 2006. Then there are the reports and speculation about the lack of inspection of the facilities by understaffed state and federal regulators. Additionally, there are some media writing blame articles about the company not being forthright in filing reports on the fire and explosion potential at the site.
Of course everyone in the agricultural industry is upset that products related to crop production have resulted in the loss of life. The Agricultural Retailers Association and The Fertilizer Institute staffs noted their sadness and said their thoughts and prayers go out to those affected by this incident.

If all they had was one violation in seven years that's really good. We need to remember that accidents do happen, as unfortunate as it is.
Most of these violations are for paper work violations, not dangerous operational regulation violations.
If only one write up for the plant occurring in 2006, that is great. However, just like the news media to try to make a mountina from of a mole hill. Let's all give the enforcement communities time to invetigate thoroughly and pray for the injuries not to be life threatening.
An excellent article. I am wondering why the news has not picked up on the 1947 Texas city explosion when two ships loaded with ammonium nitrate caught fire and exploded doing a horrible amount of damage and killing firemen and first responders.
instead of placing blame , why can't we pray for the families and the town for the great loss that there community has just felt .
For those interested in the history of the story on how the industrial process of creating 'fixed' nitrogen came about, the book, "The Alchemy of Air: A Jewish Genius, a Doomed Tycoon, and the Scientific Discovery That Fed the World but Fueled the Rise of Hitler" by Thomas Hager is extremely informative, a good read, and puts into perspective our ability to predict the consequences of our actions. This explosion is a terrible event in a week of upsetting events.
AMEN to you Mr. Dale! Thank you for that comment! That's exactly what we all need to be doing right now! Thanks again!
I am a 50 yr Master Electrcian with pole line experience. After examining the West Fertalizer site via Google Earth. I noticed numerous aerial power lines proximate to buildings and storage tanks. It is possible, during a high wind episode, for those power lines to break, drop and arc causing the primary fire ignition and possible secondary ignition. This is my personal theory based on my exrerience. I felt I should share this with you in case it could help. God bless everyone affected by this heartbreaking incident. Woody Myles
First off I commend you with the presentation of facts regarding this sad incident. Our first concern should be for the people who are still missing or were lost. Secondly I would like to point out that while the industry has strict regulations in place, accidents happen and the industry must continue to strive towards a zero incident policy. Finally sadly we lost a lot of lives in this terrible incident I do want to say that billions of people on this planet today are here because of synthetic fertilizer. The book the Alchemy of Air by Thomas Hagar is a good history of synthetic fertilizer and how it has changed a planet and enables billions of people to live their lives today. Sadly the events yesterday have left many lives forever changed. Our thoughts and prayers to the families effected by the incident.
Sounds normal the media thinking of ratings not facts.
I have friends close to West and would like to pass on residents requests for help. They are asking for totes to remove their items from their homes that have been lost, fast food gift cards and gift cards to Walmart. The following post was placed on the Texas Hill Country facebook page found here https://www.facebook.com/TexasHillCountry. "Food, water, GAUZE, etc. is needed. Options: 1) Shelly Gass with Bulverde Spring Branch EMS said if people want to donate gift cards they can send it to: 353 Rodeo Drive, Spring Branch, Texas 78070. Attention Shelly Gass. Gift cards are good because they can purchase whatever is needed. Shelly will handle the donations properly. (God bless her!!) I have her cell phone number if requested, but was afraid to blow up her phone if I posted it. 2) HELP WEST! We are collecting Wal-Mart gift cards to purchase food for our fellow Texans in West. They will be delivered this weekend! The goal is to buy and cook food to ease the burden for the community of West. They need us Any amount will help! Please call my Farmers Insurance office at 817-427-4311 if you can help. Thank you! -Scott Bagg" If you are wanting to help please do so either by sending items requested or forwarding the request to your friends and family.
According to Texas officials and the EPA, the plant was in violation of several safety regulations- for one thing, they had no sprinkler system in case of fire (EPA report from 2011 confirms this), there was a $10,000 fine for other safety violations in 2012, and the plant's last OSHA inspection was in 1985. I imagine the fire inspectors will find dozens more violations after the search for bodies is completed. The most interesting thing you cite in your article is that not one company official has stepped forward to at least offer sympathy to people who have lost family members. Safe operations save lives.
I have been to this site many times and would like all to know that all the large round "tanks" people are seeing on Google Earth are grain tanks, not chemical or fertilizer storage.
They were making meth in the factory and then their meth lab blew up..

text: Riding The Tiger "I discovered that being a President is like riding a tiger. A man has to keep on riding or be swallowed." Harry S. Truman Posted March 20, 2013 By Nicholas Sparks Reflecting on Iraq at Ten Years Clockwise from top: Delta Force of Task Force 20 alongside troops of 3rd Battalion, 327th Infantry Regiment, at Uday Hussain and Qusay Hussein's hideout.; Iraqi insurgents in northern Iraq; an Iraqi insurgent firing a MANPADS; the toppling of the Saddam Hussein statue in Firdos Square. PD. Today's guest post is by Nicholas Sparks, a Miller Center Student Ambassador and intern in the Presidential Recording Program. Sparks is a fourth year student studying History, Political Philosophy, Policy and Law at the University of Virginia. This week marks the tenth anniversary Operation Iraqi Freedom. On March 20, 2003, a U.S.-led invasion force entered Iraq through the Persian Gulf and began to secure southern port cities and oil fields in a quick and decisive operation. By April 9, Baghdad had fallen and Saddam Hussein's 24-year reign was over. The Iraq War, however, would not end until late 2011, by which time it had claimed countless Iraqi lives, over 4,400 American lives, and cost the U.S. economy trillions of dollars, not to mention other geopolitical side effects. For good or for bad, the War in Iraq will forever be tied to the legacy of President George W. Bush. In his last year in office, Bush marked the ongoing war's fifth anniversary by praising the coalitions forces that had "removed a tyrant, liberated a country, and rescued millions from unspeakable horrors." Explaining broad, long-term strategic goals, Bush argued that by nurturing democracy in Iraq, "we will help free societies take root [in the Middle East]." He had stressed similar themes in his 2004 State of the Union address, framing the mission as a means of building goodwill and defeating seeds of terrorism in the region. "As long as the Middle East remains a place of tyranny and despair and anger," Bush explained, "it will continue to produce men and movements that threaten the safety of America and our friends." Ten years later, Operation Iraqi Freedom leaves a complicated legacy for many Americans. Liberal New York Times columnist Paul Krugman remembers the lack of critical media coverage during the initial months of the invasion in 2003. To oppose the war in the media ten years ago, Krugman writes, was a "career-ending" decision. International news outlets continue to grapple with the ramifications of the Iraq War as well. This month, for instance, London-based The Guardian reported a public inquiry regarding the treatment of Iraqi prisoners by British and American forces in 2004. More noticeable, though, is the general lack of intense media coverage of the anniversary. Krugman calls it suspect. Perhaps it is the product of a people that is eager to move on.

Comments about Ring To Cage Muay Thai Ergonomic Shin Instep Guards:
Really wanted to like these. I have a set of Ring to Cage gloves and like them, so I went for the shinguards as well. They are fairly well constructed and looked sturdy, but they "felt" cheap. The main thing I didn't like was the instep was flat vs. curved. For the set I received, the fit wasn't that great - perhaps the Large would have fit better than the XL I ordered. Returned for refund and went with Revgear instead.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The death should be registered within 5 days of when it took place.
To make an appointment at Birmingham Register Office please ring

We have an appointment only system, please ring

Who can register the death?
A relative normally registers the death.
Other persons who are able to register in order of preference are -
A person present at the death.
The occupier of the premises where the death occurred if he/she knew about it.
The person arranging the funeral (this does not include the funeral director).
What do I need to bring with me?
You will need to take the medical certificate of cause of death with you. You will get this from the doctor or the bereavement officer at the hospital. Alternatively, if there has been a post mortem, the coroner may issue the document you require to register the death - the doctor or hospital will advise you in these circumstances.
It would be helpful if you can also bring the deceased's
birth certificate
marriage / civil partnership certificates
NHS Medical Card
What information will I need to give?
The date and place of death
The full name of the person who has died (this should be the name they used at the time of their death)
Any other names they may have been known as. For example, they may have changed their name by deed poll.
Their date and place of birth (town and county or country if born outside England and Wales)
Their job and whether they were retired
Their usual address
If the person who died was a married person or in a civil partnership or widowed, you will also need to know:
In the case of a woman, her surname before she first married or registered her civil partnership
The full name and occupation of the deceased's wife, husband or civil partner.
You will need to give your full name and address.
You will also be asked to give your relationship to the person who died, for example, son, daughter, widow, widower, niece, nephew, surviving civil partner, or the person making the funeral arrangements.
You will also be asked to answer some extra questions.
This information is used for government statistics and is kept confidential
Was the person who died married or in a civil partnership?
If their husband or wife or civil partner is still living,what is their date of birth?
How long did the person stay in hospital or other establishment, for example a hospice?
Was the person under 75? If they were, what industry did they work in?
Did they get a pension paid from government funds? This includes the civil service, teachers, armed forces and war widows. This does not include the state pension or pension credits. You will be asked this so that the registrar can let the relevant department know the person has died.
Have you found a medical card showing the person NHS number?
How much does it cost?
There is no charge for registering a death.
There is a fee payable for any death certificates you may require.
What documents will I receive?
Once you have completed the registration, the registrar will normally give you a
green form to give to the funeral director; and a white form (called a BD8) that you can send off with any benefit or pension details to the Department for Work and Pensions. There is no charge for these forms.
How much is a death certificate?
You will also be able to obtain death certificates for £4.00 on the day of registration and for the following two weeks. Payment for certificates should be made in cash.
After this date certificates cost £7, once the register is full it is placed in the archives and certificates will then cost £10 each.
You will need these certificates when you are sorting out the finances of the person who has died. For example, banks and insurance companies will probably need a death certificate to allow access to accounts and funds.
What do I do if the death has been reported to the coroner?
You will need to speak to a Registrar, as each case can be different, please
telephone us on 0121 675 1004 or 0121 675 2902 or 0121 675 2904.

This Four Seasons sits on a large, attractive beach on the small island of Nevis. The gorgeous rooms here may be the highlight; the updated decor has a Ralph Lauren-like look, with a blue-and-yellow scheme accented by pops of color and dark wood furniture; the massive bathrooms feature separate showers and tubs. Plus, almost all rooms have beautiful views, of either mountains or the ocean. The hotel's remote location makes this a popular pick for couples on a romantic getaway. But with its long list of on-site amenities, this resort is well-suited for families as well. There are three pools, multiple tennis courts, a golf course, and a kids' club. The spa is a bit small by Four Seasons standards, but this hotel is top-notch -- and worth the time it takes to get there.
This 392-room resort is a Marriott for certain, but it's on the higher end for the chain (certain aspects are on par with the Four Seasons Resort, and it's nicer than the Nisbet in Nevis). This is thanks mostly to grounds' very updated look: paint and masonry look fresh, and the spacious rooms have flat-screen TVs and plenty of natural light (though decor is generic). There are plenty of pools, which helps to thin out the hotel's boozy, sun-worshipping crowds. Unlike other chain hotels, the Marriott does not offer day passes for cruise passengers, freeing the property of a common headache in the Caribbean.
The Montpelier Plantation has a picturesque setting atop a hill overlooking the ocean, and 60 acres of lush grounds. Everything here is refined and elegant, from the unobtrusive but top-notch service, to the island-inspired decor with a modern twist, to the fine dining options -- one of which is housed in a 300-year-old historic sugar mill. However, some might find it somewhat stuffy for an island vacation. Plantation Rooms are completely tech-free and lack all the modern amenities featured in Garden Rooms (flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, Wi-Fi) to help guests indulge in the slow Caribbean rhythm. They aren't as luxurious as other room types, though, and could use a thorough renovation. The pretty sandy beach is a 15-minute drive away, but the hotel offers free shuttle service.
Located right on a pretty beach in northern Nevis, this upscale property is a great spot for a romantic getaway. Its 36 airy, cottage-style rooms offer lots of privacy, and are tastefully decorated in green and brown hues. They have wonderful in-room amenities, including custom-stocked minibars, but overall they don't quite deliver the level of luxury expected at this hefty price tag. Service is attentive, and unexpected extras such as hiker GPS systems, Flip video cameras, and tennis and croquet equipment -- all available free of charge -- demonstrate the Nisbet's attention to detail. The varied dining options, the pleasant pool and the beautiful setting on the beach are all highlights. However, it's worth comparing prices with the Four Seasons Resort Nevis.

I know I should want to say things like, "Can't Courtney Stodden just go away?" and, "Why is the media giving her all this attention?". But I honestly just can't. Sorry. Because, while things like this "sexy tomato" video do make me confused, disturbed and a little grossed out, they're just so darn entertaining. Human beings love a spectacle, and Courtney is a walking definition of the term.
Watch her strange video after the cut, and then try and tell me you're not weirdly entertained on some level.
Her face is… mesmerizing. How does it look like that? And make those expressions? Also, I'm not sure I've ever heard Stodden speak before, but I'm not surprised by how she sounds. Thankfully she is still a teenager, and has her twenties to undo her current mistakes (like we all do). [via Buzzfeed]

Strength and Personal Security
It's important to take all the precautions you need to in order to stay safe. Awareness is critical, and it's very important to make sure your property is as secure as it can possibly be. Remember that a telephone call to the police is not enough to ensure your safety. Of course the police will do what they can, but the reality is that they often just do not get there in time. There is little that drives criminals away like a loud alarm that lets them know that they've been found out.
But what about the times when you are really on your own? What if you're walking around alone? What if your home security system doesn't work and someone gets in. It's cases like these when you have to be physically prepared. Strength alone is great. Some form of martial arts training is even better. With the amount that people work, it's normal to not have enough energy to do any type of physical training. This was my problem. I looked into supplements that increase your energy level, and I was led to the best creatine available. In my case this was able to give me the energy and strength I needed to take a physical training program seriously.
Personal security is not about being able to physically fight and subdue an intruder, although when worst comes to worst, being able to do this can be helpful. Rather, it's about being strong enough and fit enough to get away and run away when you need to. If you can quickly pick up your kids and run and get help when you house is being entered by an intruder, your physical training has paid off greatly!

- Awesome Shirt!
- Rating
I just received this shirt today and put it on over my other clothing. It fits very well and is very comfortable. I really like the buttons - quite a novelty. I got the shirt with the kangaroo pocket and was pleasantly surprised to find it has a full divider pocket inside between the main body and the outside pocket. That's going to come in VERY handy. In fact, I'm thinking of sewing up one side of it to the inside of the main body (so stitching won't show on the outside) to make a large storage pocket with one entrance/exit and then sewing in some "D" rings to attach equipment like small flashlight, ferroseum rod and pocket knife. Might fashion a small internal pocket as well for items like ID and lighter. This is a wonderful, well constructed, WARM, functional, even pleasing to look at shirt. It's also not as scratchy as I expected it to be and actually a bit on the soft side.
It's not as cold here in Western Washington as it is on the East Coast or the Midwest, but lately has been at freezing. I've kept the heat in the house low to try and save on the heating bill. The energy I'm saving is about to pay for the cost of the shirt - which BTW is well worth its cost!
Since this doesn't have women's sizing, just for you ladies I wear a size 18-20 and got the XL. I was concerned the dimensions would fit funny, but they don't. It's not too baggy, loose or tight anywhere and definitely layers well.

- Great cozy pullover!

This is a very well made and warm shirt, well worth the price. I love it! It does have a strong "wooley" smell when you first get it, I had to wash it twice before I could wear it. But this may not bother some people. I do wish it had zips on the pocket, I'll probably add them on at some point. Warm enough to work as a jacket, but cozy for wearing inside as well. Women; I wear a size 16 and got the large, it fits perfectly!

I got this shirt for Christmas as a gift and my mother ordered it large so i could use it as a comfy shirt but also as a jacket! I love how warm it feels and its like you never leave the comfort of your hudson bay blanket on snowy days! I got so many complements on the shirt and the construction is great, my shirt has the pocket and it is double lined, so you in a way have 2 pockets but double the warmth! Over all I would buy another on in a second, maybe in a smaller size.

- This shirt is awesome!

Since the weather turned cold, I wear this shirt constantly. It keeps me totally warm indoors without being too warm. When I need to run outside and let my dogs out, I can be comfortably warm outdoors with it on its own. On warmer days in the upper 20's, I can wear it as a coat if I'm going to be in and out of places. A worthwhile investment!

- Talk about warm!

I love this shirt! It is so warm. I combine it with the canvas anorak in the winter and stay nice and toasty. It great by itself too. The double pouch pocket is great! Women might want to remember that men generally have smaller hips so order a bit larger than you might think you would need. The only thing that would make this easier to wear more is if it opened all the way down so it doesn't need to be pulled over your head but that would make the fabulous double pouch pocket less useful.

A beautifully made shirt. Nice and warm with a flare for nostalgia.

Gentleman's Fine Antique Locket Ring
During the Victorian age men were just as sentimental as were the ladies. On second thought, they were even more romantic and gallant with their "veiled" affections. Here we have a wonderful example of a most handsome and august 14k yellow gold locket ring. The front matrix is beautifully hand engraved with scroll and botanical motifs. The octagonal configuration of the locket cover and sides of the mount have nicely detailed beveled edges. The hand engravings extend to the shoulders and sides of the weighty shank. The locket compartment is amply sized for a photograph or curl of hair.
Date: Circa 1860.
Measurements: 5/8 of an inch (1.5 cm) in length north to south on the hand and rises just shy of 1/8 of an inch (0.2 cm) in height off the finger. Weight of 9.4 grams (6.0 dwt).
Ring Size: US 11-3/4 (UK X; Int. Dia. 21; Euro 66.5 mm; Japan between 24 and 25) and can be easily sized to fit most. Ring sizing information.
Hallmarks: Oak leaf; worn "V" mark.
Condition: Excellent; light wear to the engraving commensurate with age and use, otherwise fine.
Origin: The Netherlands.

Makeup Basics
Once you have found your favorite Halloween costume, spruce up your look with a set of our makeup basics. Professional makeup artists have tons of brushes, sponges, and colorful face paints, but all you need to create the perfect Halloween look are a few basic costume makeup items. If you are unsure of how to begin, many of our makeup kits come with basic instructions and tips for how to create the look you want.
Authentic Natural Santa Eyebrows
Some good basics to have on had include face paint, spirit gum, and latex body paint. With the right prosthetics and makeup you can create almost any look you want. Begin with a simple application of foundation, lipstick, or eye shadow. For more complex costumes, you may need adhesives like spirit gum. Body adhesives can let you add prosthetic features, scars, gashes, and other body parts to your look.
Once you've decided on facial makeup, you can move your attention to hair and nails. Match your nail color to your outfit with nail polish or fake nail stick-ons. A colored hair streak or extension can add a touch of spunk to your look.
