An explosion of vivid pink to maroon blossoms covers the Chinese Fringe Flower in May and appears as tiny, random exclamation points later in the season. Deep purple leaves, arranged along spreading horizontal branches, make this bonsai attractive throughout the year. Site this brilliant tree outdoors in a sunny location to provide a natural accent on a porch, patio or deck.
Tips on WateringCareful watering is key to maintaining healthy bonsai. Never allow your bonsai to completely dry out. Watering instructions may vary slightly depending on the tree or plant species. Please refer to the information tag attached to your bonsai for specific information. Over time you will be able to evaluate each particular bonsai's water requirements and create your own watering schedule to accommodate it. Note whether your bonsai is considered an indoor or outdoor tree and refer below to more specific watering tips for each type.Best results are achieved by watering with a small watering can or hose attachment with a fine-spray nozzle so that water cascades are softer, avoiding blasts to bonsai and potting soil. To water, thoroughly soak the container's soil until water runs out of the bottom drainage holes. Periodic misting of the tree's foliage is also recommended.
Trimming and PinchingBonsai trees benefit from trimming to maintain their miniature size and beautiful form. Pinch and trim new growth back to the farthest safe point, being careful not to remove all new growth. For more in-depth tips about trimming (and training) techniques, an instructional book will provide the best, safest recommendations to keep your bonsai in tip-top shape.

The volunteer district purchased the property at 13208 Highway 9 and the neighboring parking lot from local realtors Steve and Randy Ziganti, who owned the property.
The property, which was purchased with $404,000 of fire district reserve funds, sits adjacent to the fire station, separated only by a fence.
Negotiations for the property began in late 2011 when the Steve Ziganti offered the building to the fire district, which had shown interest in the building in the past.
Rick Rogers, president of the Boulder Creek fire board, said it was a perfect fit.
"It kind of fell on us," Rogers said. "They knew we had an interest from the past, and we said 'Yeah, we're outgrowing the station.'"
Fire Chief Kevin McClish said the new building will be split in half with a sound-proof wall before firefighters move in. The rear portion of the building will house the firefighter's workout room, while Century 21 will lease the front portion of the building — about 1,100 square feet for $1,551 per month — as an office for the next four years.
"It was an opportunity we really, really couldn't pass up," McClish said.
McClish said the district houses five firefighters in cramped quarters above the existing administration office.
The purchase allows the gym to be moved away from the living quarters and more space for living quarters, if the need arises.
"Someday we might have more firefighters living at the station," Rogers said.
Also, the district leases a building on the rear of its current property to the Boulder Creek Recreation and Parks District. With no new facility on the horizon for the parks department, it was unlikely the fire department would be able to utilize the rec hall or its offices.
The purchase was made from the district's mobile equipment reserve, which dropped from $1.04 million to a little more than $635,000. In all, the district has a $1.52 million reserve.
"This worked really well for us," Rogers said. "We're not looking to build a new fire station. It came up, and it was a good purchase."

Governator pumps up Canadian biodiesel fleet
The company plans to test biodiesel grades B5 to B20 and monitor the effects of the new fuel on the fleet engines. The goal of the program is to conclusively understand the environmental impact of biodiesel while also diagnosing the impact it has on current Isuzu diesel vehicles. According to Scudamore, the "green-thinking" consumer makes up a large portion of the 1-800-GOT-JUNK? customer base. And of the 1,000 or so trucks that 1-800 has in operation worldwide, almost one third are in Schwarzenegger's home state, California. "Our company," says Scudamore, "has a strong environmental conscience, and we've always prided ourselves on cutting edge recycling efforts. The growth of our business means it's time to take environmental initiatives to the next level. The Governor's visit to Vancouver has inspired us to launch our biodiesel program and show the world how a global business can take action and work to do something positive for the environment." In another initiative, 1-800-GOTJUNK is also weaning its medium-duty fleet off diesel and on to gasoline. Fleet manager Craig Jooste told Todaystrucking.com that the trucks reach their trade-in cycle after only 200,000 km, so the company has decided that they don't need the long-term lifecycle that diesel engines deliver.
Posted: May 23, 2007 12:00 AM | Last Updated: Mar 27, 2012 09:28 AMVANCOUVER -- When Hollywood action hero-turned Golden State governor Arnold Schwarzenegger visits Vancouver next week he'll give his gubernatorial blessing to one of Canada's fastest-growing fleets and its elaborate emissions-reduction plan. The trucking company-trash remover is 1-800-GOT JUNK. And on May 31, when Schwarzenegger's in town for the Pacific Economic Summit, 1-800's founder and CEO Brian Scudamore will unveil his prototype biodiesel Isuzu truck.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Pioneer TS-D1602R by Buck Pomerantz Why replace your car's original speakers? The speakers that originally came in your car were made from inexpensive materials, designed to create acceptable sound at the lowest possible cost to the manufacturer. If you love music, you deserve better. Name-brand aftermarket speakers deliver fuller, richer sound with considerably more detail and nuance, and they're capable of playing louder and cleaner than factory speakers. Connect new speakers to your factory radio and you'll get the best possible sound from your dealer-equipped system. Pair them up with a new car stereo for a level of enjoyment that can rival a high-fidelity home audio experience. Unleash the power of Basalt Car audio enthusiasts know that replacing your factory speakers is the first step towards better sound. Pioneer TS-D1602R 2-way speakers sport innovative technologies and materials that'll put your car's sound miles ahead of where it was. The journey begins with the innovative 6-1/2" woofer a high-tech composite material made from basalt and Aramid creates a rigid, lightweight cone. This design supplies solid midbass punch with exceptional midrange definition, while its rubber surround ensures smooth cone excursion. A heavy stamped metal basket supports the woofer cone, dampening vibrations and resonances that can unduly color your music's natural sound. The oversized soft-dome tweeter radiates impressive highs, aided by a special wave guide that improves off-axis performance meaning you'll get better stereo imaging in more locations throughout your car. A sealed rear chamber allows the tweeter to reach lower into the midrange to improve the definition of vocals and instruments. The tweeter's compact and powerful neodymium magnet provides excellent performance even when the power levels are cranked.

Yes | No 5 out of 5 Amazing sound for the price! Written By AutotechSC, columbia sc on Friday, May 30, 2014 I'm an installer in SC and have installed many speakers from the cheapest possible to the most expensive sets. I personally have these speakers in my own E46 bmw, you can't beat the sound for the price. I was not a big fan of pioneers before, always a alpine guy. I decided one day when i had down time at work to buy and install these speakers so i can tell my customers about them. I was really impressed by the highs and mids from these speakers.

I used these in a 2004 Subaru Legacy and I was engulfed in the sound. It was simply fantastic! I was hearing every high and low as if I was using a set of high end headphones. I put a pair in the front and a pair in the back and they fit with a little tweaking. The speaker in the front passenger side would rattle my door!

For passengers making new bookings on www.flybe.com from 6th to 10th September 2013 and for travel between 28th September 2013 and 14th December 2013, Flybe will pay the tax on behalf of its customers effectively lowering one-way fares by £13, and by £26 on return UK domestic fares.
Simon Lilley, Flybe's Director of Marketing said, "Passengers in Northern Ireland continue to be disadvantaged by this punitive and unfair tax which is a serious impediment on both business and leisure travel thereby negatively impacting regional economic growth. Flybe has campaigned long and hard for the abolition of Air Passenger Duty. By offering what is essentially a 'tax rebate', we are not only once again raising awareness of the Government's unjust wealth-gathering practices but are also providing a financial benefit to our passengers."
The offer is available on all fares and on all routes operated by Flybe originating from the UK, Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. The offer excludes flights operated by Loganair, codeshare flights operated by Air France and APD exempt flights departing from the Channel Islands or Inverness.

Former world road champion Alessandro Ballan climbed into the third overall at the Tour de Pologne after placing third Wednesday on a tricky, cobblestoned run-in to the line. The good result for the BMC Racing Team was offset by the loss of teammate Michael Schär, who crashed out of the race.
Breakaway Was Dangerous
Ballan was part of a group of 55 riders that separated on a small climb on the final lap of the finish circuit of the 178-kilometer race. But the Italian couldn't come around Lampre-Farnese Vini teammates Mirco Lorenzetto and Grega Bole, who finished 1-2, respectively. "It was a perfect day for me," Ballan said. "I had the entire team working well for me because the three riders (Dominique Rollin, Johnny Hoogerland and Cameron Meyer) who were away in the breakaway earlier were dangerous." Ballan is eight seconds off the lead of Lorenzetto, who leads his teammate Bole by seven seconds.
Schär Crashes Out
BMC Racing Team's Michael Schär crashed in the feed zone between the day's second and third climbs when his rear tire punctured as he was grabbing a mussette bag. The Swiss struck a pole and injured his left shoulder and elbow. "He has ligament damage to his left clavicle," BMC Racing Team Dr. Dario Spinelli said. "But there appears to be no broken bones."
Uphill Finish Thursday
Thursday's stage is 149 km and includes a circuit climb that is summited five times before an uphill finish in Ustron. BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Fabio Baldato said the loss of Schär is disappointing. "Michael was a very important rider who we don't have for the coming days," Baldato said. "The finish climb tomorrow is going to be important. But I'm confident. Alessandro has good energy."

School system hires human resources director
SALISBURY — Erwin Middle School's principal will soon be the next executive director of human resources for the Rowan-Salisbury School System.
Kristi Rhone has been the principal at Erwin since 2010. From 2006 to 2010, she was an assistant principal at North Rowan Middle School.
The Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education voted to hire her to the director's job after a closed session at Monday's meeting.
"I'm excited and ready to step into this new position," Rhone said. "I just want to be able to work with the school system as well as the community, be able to build positive relationships and collaborate on things that are in the best interest of students, teachers and staff members."
Rhone said she thinks educators must be willing to grow and take new steps, and that's what she did by applying for her new job.
Delores Morris retired as assistant superintendent of human resources in December. The board agreed in February to advertise the position under the title of executive director.
Superintendent Dr. Judy Grissom recommended the board choose Rhone from 36 applicants.
"Her background and leadership skills are excellent," Grissom said. "Her experience in the military, management and leadership will provide the needed skills for this particular position."
Rhone graduated from Guilford Technical Community College with an associate's degree in elementary education. She went on to earn a bachelor's degree in middle grades education and a master's degree in educational leadership from High Point University.
She served as a U.S. Navy leadership instructor from 1990 to 2010. Rhone also worked as a Communities In Schools volunteer and tutor at Ferndale Middle School in High Point from 2000 to 2002, and she taught 8th grade language arts in Guilford County Schools from 2002 to 2006.
Rhone said she doesn't yet know when she will start as human resources director, and she's not sure whether an interim principal will be named at Erwin at that time.

Fudge Crinkle Cookies
- Posted on
- 16 Comments
These cookies are seriously so quick and easy to make, but taste like you spent a lot of time on them. They are so fudgy and chewy- I have yet to meet a person who doesn't like them.
Fudge Crinkle Cookies
1 (15.25 oz) box Devil's Food cake mix
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1/2 cup powdered sugar (for rolling the cookies in)
(Independent Consultant Allison Dalke)
We absolutely LOVE Scentsy! These wick-less alternatives bring the memories you associate with beautiful fragrances to your home without the safety risks of a candle. Their new scents are perfect for the winter months you spend inside - check out them out today!
I have made these with a lemon mix and toppedit with a glaze of butter powdered sugar and lemon juice. They were great!
Oooh these look good! I wish I had seen this recipe last week. I am all done baking for a while! Happy New Year! http://www.mendezmanor.com
I just made a recipe using yellow cake mix, the oil and 2 eggs, and then choc. chips and coconut. They were so delicious and chewy. I know these will be good too!
I have made cookies just like these, and after they come out of the oven, I press a peppermint pattie into the top of each cookie. Yum! Thanks for sharing all your yummy recipes!
Oh–I forgot all about these for Christmas. They are so easy and yes–delicious. Alot less work than the chocolate crinkle recipe that has been around for years. Just as good–if not better–dare I say !
I made a red velvet version w/ Duncan-Hines boxed red velvet mix that were to die for so I'm sure these will be equally amazing!
This comment has been removed by the author.
Yum yum yum! I have been trying franticly to pin this, but it's not working. I just may have to make it even sooner then
I just showed these to my 3 year old and she said they looked like "the best cookies in the world." You have a new, very young (but honest) fan! Thank you for sharing them on my Link Love Thursday link party!
Loved these They didn't last long at all.
Mmmm! I love chocolate!
These look wonderful! I love the crinkle. Pinned to try soon, thanks!
I made these and substituted Coconut oil for the veg oil. I could.NOT.STOP.EATING.THEM! So amazingly delicious and easy!!
Im gonna make these for my kids…can I use 1/2 cup of applesauce instead???
why did mine not turn into "balls" the dough was super sticky like thick cake batter or a slightly too thin frosting. i plopped spoonfulls in the powdered sugar and "rolled" it into balls, but they instantly spread on the cookie sheet. we'll see how they turn out… thoughts?

Children's Health
Detecting Learning Disabilities
Parenting a Child With a Learning Disability continued...
2. Be your child's advocate. Work with your child's school to develop an IEP (Individualized Education Plan) -- a special plan that sets goals for your child and describes support that may be needed to reach those goals. Understand special education laws and school policies so you can make sure your child is getting the most out of school. Many services may be available, but they may not be offered until you ask for them.
3. Make sure your child has healthy habits. A child who gets plenty of sleep at night, eats a balanced diet, and gets plenty of exercise is a healthier child, both mentally and physically.
4. Pay attention to your child's mood. Learning disabilities can be bad for a child's self-esteem. Keep an eye out for symptoms of depression, such as moodiness, changes in sleep or appetite, or loss of interest in their usual activities.

Next up: Vermont City Marathon: May, 2011
Nice TR, alpineski. Congrats on the distance you DID make it with feeling like crap and all. Look forward to the pics.
Nice report Jake - sounds like you had the full experience. Lots to learn about dealing with those conditions, and first hand experience is the best teacher. I remember after my first winter attempt, I made some written notes to myself about how best to efficiently deal with things -some things that worked well, some that didn't and those notes helped a lot on subsequent trips, until the skills became second nature. Here's how I handle the issue of keping food from freezing. I always make a liter of hot tea either in the hotel or better yet right at pinkham and place it in an isulated sleeve - then I place that in a padded insulated cell about the size of a lunch box - around the hot tea bottle I put my trail snacks that are prone to freezing - keeps them nice and warm.
Excellent report on your hike. Thanks for the many great details and such. It was fun reading about the trip even through your illness and all. Glad you got to do it though. Looking forward to the video and photos of the hike as well and most of all Congratulations!!!!
Good job!
Dave Johnson

You should have placed your food (alongside your cell phone, GPS, digital camera, spare batteries) in your jacket's inside pockets--you're not bringing a 7 course meal here just some peanuts, power bars, slimjims, etc.Originally Posted by alpineski
I don't think anything you did or didn't do that day would have changed your guide's decision to turn around. And, as you described yourself, many climbers (possibly all of them) abandoned the summit because of the wind and weather.Originally Posted by alpineski
Congratulations on your achievement and thanks for enlightening and entertaining us with your trip report.
Any day out there and you return safely is a good day. We all have to remember the Rockpile will always win. Sometimes she lets us play with her.
I am hoping to get back into Tuckerman's next Saturday to take pictures. We will see if the weather is acceptable.

In reading the account of the hike I read one thing that most hikers do on their first winter ascent. They stick their heavy winter hat that is covered in sweat in the pack and put on a light beanie. They only come to realize later that the hat is frozen solid and can't be worn. The frozen hat now becomes a problem unless an extra one has been brought along. The advice that climbabout has provided is right on. I have learned alot from reading his entries in the threads. As he says keep ALL things that need to be warm in your jacket and near your body heat. I have had my cliff bars freeze solid in my outside jacket pockets and couldn't eat them. THAT WAS A PROBLEM!
Bringing a thermos of a hot drink is another GREAT idea. That has saved me a few times. As far as E.M.S. guides they are awesome. I highly recommend them. Sounds like you had a great hike and next time you can put to use what you learned and head higher. Congrats on making it as far as you did. Lions head winter ascent is not easy hike and making it up to tree is something to be proud of especially in the conditions you faced. Again congrats.
Working on pics, I promise. A few attached from my climbing partner, I'll upload a few of mine later.
I've been thinking a lot about my trip experience and everything I've read on this forum. In a way, I'm glad I didn't know everything and made a few mistakes on my own. Especially since none were life threatening. Had I received all the information I could and been more "prepared" I'm not sure I would have gotten as much out of it. I know it sounds wierd because suppose I did stash those items I need in my jacket to avoid freezing, supposed I wasn't sick, suppose I did train better and in a different way, I guess I may have made it farther. But, then I wouldn't have the experience of learning.
This is not to say that the advice learned is not valuable and that one should climb without it and without being prepared, but after the fact, I'm very happy with the climb and happy I made mistakes that taught me something, that, if not made, I wouldn't have learned "WHY".
It sounds like you have exactly the right attitude and common sense to enjoy many safe trips above treeline. Every time I go out it seems I learn something new or a better way to handle a particular situation.
It is true. You can read every book there is and go to every course there is, but nothing teaches like the actual experience.

Court protest turns into anti-GMO rally
What started out as a protest advertised as standing up for the Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association (OSGTA) in its court case against Monsanto turned into an anti-biotechnology rally Jan. 10, in Washington, D.C.
Members of Food Democracy Now! and other activists gathered in front of the White House in Lafayette Square, directly after attorneys for the OSGTA presented their appeals court arguments about a district court dismissal of a case against Monsanto. The claimants filed suit against Monsanto originally because they wanted Monsanto to be prevented from ever taking legal action against organic seed producers if genetically modified plant traits crossed over into organic fields. The case was originally dismissed because the whole claim was based on speculation rather than any action ever taken by Monsanto. Results of the appeal will be announced in the near future.
After attending the oral argument to appeal the dismissal of the case at the U.S. Court of Appeals, the group, that might have totaled 300 persons, marched to Lafayette Park to protest the "Obama administration's pending approval of 13 new biotech crops and AquaBounty's 'Frankenfish,' a genetically engineered 'salmon,'" according to Food Democracy Now!, which is against GMOs.
The activist group is demanding the President not allow any more GM animals or plants, including GMO salmon, into the environment until more red tape, independent long-term safety tests are conducted. The activists are wanting a whole new procedure for approval of GM modified crops.

wish I could have been there!!!
You have no idea what you're talking about.
The only procedure anti-gmoers want to implement is the banning of all genetic technology on principle, Tay-Sachs, cancer and cystic-fibrosis not withstanding. Hurray for the new approvals !
Just remaember that the organic industry's requirement that the percent of GMO in their products be mathematically 0.00 is a requirement of their own making. It is self-inflicted. Yes, it's in government standards but those standards were derived from Organic producer committees. The governments themselves really don't care what this requirement ends up being, so long as the public good is protected.
Thank You ! Monsanto ! I will continue to purchase your product. Thanks for supporting the American Farmer.
monsanto takes no resposiblty for when thier soybean cross polinate with nongmo soybeans it is the overseas buyers that set the standards if you are going to sell to them 5198879299
Hard to change this kind of thinking. They should read or listen to this speech. An environmentalist's confession -- I was wrong about genetically modified crops http://www.marklynas.org/2013/01/lecture-to-oxford-farming-conference-3-january-2013/
The anti-GMO food anarchists are the harvest of a generation of parents who spawned, then raised the offspring with a constant message that they were "special". (I think they call it self esteem embellishment). The result? We now have to deal with these incomplete adults who are practicing the most cynical form of social narcissism in trying to force their grandiose sense of superiority on the rest of us. Organic food is simply a tool they are using to project their obnoxious and boring personalities of ignorance. They don't understand what they are protesting, they just want someone to let them have their way like their parents did during all those formative years at home.
i think it is very unwise to trust one 's food supply to a combination of Monsanto and the US Government. Both are NOT trustworthy.
Who do you suggest we put in charge? I personally trust our FDA. The US has the safest food supply in the world. Monsanto and other biotech companies have had to prove their technology safe before being approved. I would assume some minor risk rather than chance future starvation just to please anti-GMO extremists.
Jake, your statement is just plain dumb. The US has the safest, most abundant, and most affordable food supply in the world. You and a few generations before have grown up eating USDA inspected food. To say you don't trust the US Government, implies that you do trust someone that says their products are "orgainc". Why would you trust someone that has a financial stake in the game rather than an unbiased regletory agency? The rest of the story is that "orgainc" food has proven many times over to be more likely to be contaminated with salmonila and other harmful organisams than conventional food. Orgainc = lower quality, higher price, and possibality a health hazasrd.
some of the non organic farmers do not like the way monsanto treats us we need to check and balances in place monsanto seems to above the law
+1 Well said!
My +1 was intended for Innsie, not Stephen Webster. Stephen Webster needs to learn English.......and punctuation.
i am sorry i use junk key board that sticks
I agree; the science and crop varieties they have provided for farmers and consumers are a wonderful gift to the world and they have born the brickbats thrown at them by the mainly ignorant opponents with considerable patience. Keep at it Monsanto, one day the world will recognise your contribution to the world. In the UK we have great difficulty obtaining GMO foods but I buy them whenever I can and avoid 'organic' produce if at all possible.

STUNNING: Places to Visit at Low Tide
- STUNNING: Places to Visit at Low Tide
From castles located in small islands to a mosque visited by thousands of devotees daily, these spectacular sites are only accessible during certain times of the day -- at low tide. Connected to the mainland by narrow footpaths or sandy causeways that could disappear with rising tides, visiting some of these seven spots can be a bit dangerous (beware of lashing sea waters!). Their natural beauty, however, make the trips worthwhile.
Mont St-Michel, France
After the Eiffel Tower and the Castle of Versailles, the Benedictine Abbey of Mont St-Michel in Normandy is France's most visited tourist attraction, according to the official website of France. This Gothic-style architectural wonder, built between the 11th and 16th centuries, is known as the "Wonder of the West" for its sky-scraping towers and turrets, but it's also known for its unique natural setting. It stands on a rocky island in the center of a bay invaded by the largest tides in Europe. The difference in low and high tides can reach an astonishing 49 feet, according to Lonely Planet.
In 1879, a causeway was built to connect the abbey to the mainland and to bring visitors -- who number 2.3 million annually -- to the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Attempting to reach Mont St-Michel by any other route than the causeway can be dangerous. It is not unheard of for tourists to drown after being cut off by the tide, and the deep mud and quicksand surrounding the island can be treacherous. In July 2012, the causeway was submerged in water as tide rose to record levels, the Guardian reported.
A $285 million project is currently underway to replace the causeway with a bridge and ultimately restore the Mont to the sea, the New York Times reported in April 2013.

Deck the (Front) Hall: Holiday Decor for the Entryway
One of my favorite things about the holiday season is the moment when you step from a snowy street into a warm and welcoming home. If that home has a wreath on the door, a poinsettia on the hall table and a snowflake garland running up the banister? Well, good luck getting me to leave.
As the first thing guests see when they enter your home, a festive entryway can set the mood for holiday gatherings both large and small. I also find that a bowl of baubles or a bit of greenery can brighten my own mood when returning from work in the evenings, which is just as important when it's pitch dark and bitterly cold outside!
Whether you have a hallway large enough for its own Christmas tree, or a modest landing strip which could display a collection of holiday cards, there are a multitude of ways to bring some seasonal cheer to your doorstep. Take some inspiration from the photos above, or share your favorite entryway ideas below. Happy decorating!

The French crates with cushions on top are brilliant! Love this idea -better yet, would love a trip to France to look for these crates...
Good roundup, there's some very creative ideas here.
Very creative......thanks for the Xmas cheer. So simple.
You are 100% correct, the entryway sets the stage for the whole house. You can see the tree as soon as you enter our home, but we still needed to create something welcoming on the front door. We have new french doors this year, so we create two simple hanging swags from yard clippings and inexpensive crafts. http://www.oldtownhome.com/2011/12/6/Exterior-Christmas-Decorations-Were-Going-Green/.
It really turned out great, couldn't be more happy.
*is depressed that she doesn't have an entryway*


text: Items 49 to 60 of 60 total Previous 1 / 2 / 3 View: 12 / 24 / 48 Great product but double check everything! By hman on 12/13/2011 hman would recommend this product to a friend Bought this unit because we were doing a bunch of home remodeling and it was a great excuse to pick up an RO/DI unit for the kitchen. Installation is a snap, even though I'm FAR from plumber, and the unit works really well. A few things I didn't like though: 1) The Dual TDS meter cables are a little on the short side, making mounting of the meter a little tough if you have to get creative under a tight sink space. 2) Included plastic fittings were a little sketchy if you wanted to do any type of permanent installation, and I just don't like the "vampire" saddle clamp. Solution: Buy the John Guest fittings. 3) Double check EVERYTHING for leaks. Found a leak in the 1/4" tubing that was pre-run by BRS. A poor cut on the line connected to the flush valve ended up in a hard to find slow leak. Solution: BRS includes a ton of extra tubing so replacing it wasn't much of a problem. 4) Double check your order. I'm sure it was just a mix up in my unit, but I ordered the Plus system and they ended up sending me the unit without the pressure gauge. Of course I realized it after plumbing and hanging the unit! Solution: BRS Customer Support sent me out a new pressure gauge. All in all I'm happy with the unit and happy with BRS, after doing my homework this unit is definitely the most feature rich for the best price. Video instructins makes for easy install By Walter on 11/29/2011 Walter would recommend this product to a friend Denver Water recommend treating for chlorimine so had to get this pricier RO/DI system. Getting 0 TDS water with this system as advertised. Added the drinking water add-on kit. Denver tap water tasted fine before but the RO drinking water is much better tasting.. great buy! By Danny on 9/17/2011 Danny would recommend this product to a friend I live in the Los Angeles area and had no idea what chloramines were until I did some research. I am glad I did because it turns out I needed one of these instead of the basic unit. This is very heavy duty, I attached it to the bottom of my stand. It came with everything I needed and am super happy with my purchase. 18 months use works like a champ By Christopher on 8/5/2011 Christopher would recommend this product to a friend No problems and my So Cal water definitely has chloramines. One recommendation is that if you need this you likely have expensive water and should get the auto shut off kit when you get the RO system. Forget that the thing is one once or twice and you will spend more on water quickly. Great Product! By nathan on 7/15/2011 nathan would recommend this product to a friend This product exceded my standards! I had a diatom and algae bloom and after using this product it cleared up within days! Great Product! By Ryan on 5/3/2011 Ryan would recommend this product to a friend Installed this system in less than 15mins from start to finish. It is very easy to use... no more trips across town to get RO/DI water from my local reef store. Thanks BRS. Great product for beginners and experts By Christopher on 2/6/2011 Christopher would recommend this product to a friend My discus and reef tank are both flourishing, and I am confident knowing that the chloramines in my tap water are taken care of. Works great same day shipping By Robert on 1/17/2011 Robert would recommend this product to a friend Took care of my chloramine problem. My discus love it. Would buy again Great unit for the price By Paul on 11/24/2010 Paul would recommend this product to a friend Looked at many other units and decided on this because of the value. It has been one of my best purchases for my reef aquarium. If you are looking for a good unit for at a good price, this is a great choice. Excellent Quality By Matthew on 3/22/2010 Matthew would recommend this product to a friend I ordered this product from Ontario, Canada and it arrived in 6 days and was not damaged during shipping. The product was protected well during shipping and is also very well built. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants a high quality product for a good price. great product By phil21 on 2/27/2010 phil21 would recommend this product to a friend easy install great product and fast shipping A++++++ Great buy! cant beat it!

Scrappy Rainbow Placemats - A Tutorial
Want to make some colorful, summery placemats? Here's the tutorial for the Scrappy Rainbow Placemats I made for the Make Mine Modern swap.
Before we start, let me again credit Angela, whose amazing Pink Lemonade quilt was the inspiration for these placemats. The original idea was all hers. Thank you, Angela!
You will need:
• scraps in 12 different prints of Color A (I'm using pink)
• scraps in 12 different prints of Color B (I'm using purple)
• 7 - 4.5" white squares
• 3 - 4.5" x 2.5" white rectangles
• piece of fabric for backing/binding, 15"-16" by 21"-22"
• 14" x 20" piece of batting
From six of your pink prints: Cut two 2.5" squares and two 1.5" squares from each print.
From the other six pink prints: Cut one 2.5" square and one 1.5" square from each print.
From six of your purple prints: Cut two 2.5" squares and two 1.5" squares from each print.
From the other six purple prints: Cut one 2.5" square and one 1.5" square from each print.
1. Take the white squares and rectangles, and lay them out in a checkerboard pattern, as shown, with the rectangles at the bottom. Be sure to lay out your pieces in a location where they can remain undisturbed until you're done piecing the top!
2. Now grab some of your unpaired pink and purple 2.5" squares (so, the prints from which you cut only one 2.5" square) and start laying them out in a row across the top, between the white pieces, alternating colors, as shown.
3. For your next row, use unpaired squares at each end of the row, and paired squares everywhere else. Again, alternate colors, so that you start to create a checkerboard pattern.
4. Continue laying out your pink and purple squares, following the pattern you've established. Be sure to keep your paired prints together, kitty-corner from each other, as shown in the photo above. (Sorry the squares are such a wrinkled mess!)
5. Take your 1.5" squares and lay them out over the top of your white background pieces. Put a 1.5" square at each corner of the white pieces, matching prints up with the corresponding 2.5" squares, as shown in the photo. (You should end up with two 1.5" squares left over.)
6. Once you're satisfied with your layout, pin your 1.5" pieces into place, on top of the white background pieces. Please note that you are not pinning for sewing placement. You're only pinning them to keep track of where all these teeny little squares go. But trust me, you'll want to take the time to do this!
7. Last step before you can start sewing: Mark the center line on your sewing machine, if you haven't already. You will use this as a reference line to sew diagonally across the 1.5" squares without having to mark all the squares. (This is a tip I picked up from Linda when she participated in the Supernova quilt-along.) I marked mine with a purple sticky note. I used the sticky note because it's repositionable, so I can put it right over my drop-in bobbin compartment.
8. Finally, you get to sew! : ) Take your first white piece, with the 1.5" squares pinned onto the corners. Unpin one of the little squares and flip it over, so right sides are facing. (If you're using a directional fabric, it should be oriented 90 degrees from the way you want it to appear after it's sewn.) Keep your other three squares pinned, so you don't lose track of which corner they go on!
9. Using the center line that you marked on your machine, sew a diagonal line across the 1.5" square, from corner to corner, as shown. Just keep the point of the 1.5" square on the marked line at all times as you sew, and you'll end up with a perfect diagonal seam.
10. Do the same with each of the other three 1.5" squares. You should now have a piece that looks like this.
11. Trim off the excess fabric beyond the diagonal seam at each corner and press your prints out, toward the corners, so you have a piece that looks like this. I recommend pressing seams open here. Repeat the above steps until all of your 1.5" squares are sewn into corner triangles on your all of your white background pieces.
12. Now for the easy part! Sew together the 2.5" squares into four-patch blocks. Start by sewing pairs of pink and purple squares together, as shown. Now I recommend pressing the seams to the side, since I find four-patches go together better with side-pressed seams that can be nested together.
13. Sew the pairs together into a four-patch. At this point I went back to pressing my seams open, since it's no longer important for alignment, and open seams reduce bulk.
14. Now you should have 20 blocks that can be sewn together into a completed top. So go ahead, what are you waiting for? : )
15. Layer your backing/binding, batting, and top, and baste with a few pins. You backing/binding piece should be at least 1/2" larger than the top and batting on each side.
16. I quilted mine in straight lines, outlining the basic shapes created by the piecing. I also used two different colors of thread to echo the fabric colors.
17. I used Made By Rae's "Cheater Binding" tutorial for quick and easy binding. This is why the backing piece needs to be larger than the top—you'll be folding it around to the front and sewing it down to create the binding. The only change I made to Rae's tutorial is that my binding is narrower, which I thought was better for a small piece like a placemat.
Good luck! Please let me know if you make these placemats, I would love to see them.

Jockey Quotes
RAFAEL BEJARANO, EXECUTIVEPRIVILEGE, Winner: "As soon as we broke from the gate, I put her right behind horses and got her into a good position. I knew all I had to do was wait because at the end I was going to have a lot horse. The race was over as soon as we hit the stretch and I let her run." Asked if this race was more impressive than first career start: "I think so because she was more prepared today and she was doing really well before the race. I am really happy.''
JOE TALAMO, SPEEDINTRUTHECITY, Second: "I had a perfect trip, just got outrun. For her second career start, she is definitely getting there. She is stakes placed. Hopefully we will have some fun with her this year."
KEVIN KRIGGER, MISS EMPIRE, Third: "My trip was not the best, I was down inside. Most of them got a running jump on me. When she got running, I was shaking her. She still ran well."
Trainer Quotes
BOB BAFFERT, EXECUTIVEPRIVILEGE, Winner: "I didn't want her on the lead. I said if she breaks, fine, just don't put her on the lead. Just sit there and let her learn something. I could tell (Bejarano) was sitting there with so much horse. Then I thought at the eighth pole when it opened up, now we'll know what's she made of. It's so tough to win the second time out and coming back so quickly (16 days). She was actually short her first time, so that race really helped. I just think she's really gifted. From day one when we breezed her I remember calling (co-owner) Mike (Pegram) and saying I think we have a female version of Lookin At Lucky. It's been a little dry spell for these owners. I wasn't going to run her in this race and then I worked her Monday and she really breezed well. Hopefully, I won't have to do too much with her (at Del Mar). She'll come back in the ($150,000, Grade III) Sorrento (Aug. 8) if she's doing well. The main thing is the Breeders' Cup (Juvenile Fillies Nov. 2 at Santa Anita). She's like Silverbulletday. Those kind are just gifted."
PETER MILLER, SPEEDINTHRUTHECITY (Second) and MISS EMPIRE (Third): I'm really happy, I thought both of my fillies ran well. Speedinthruthecity was doing a little weaving in the lane because she's still a little green. In fact both of them are still green. On to the Sorrento.with both of them. We'll see if the winner is as good at Del Mar."
