The bottle, bite valve, straw and lid can be cleaned in the top rack of the dishwasher or by hand with warm, soapy water. Pull off the bite valve and straw from the cap. If you like to use a bottle brush, we don�t recommend forcing a brush through the Bite Valve slit. If you have the brush kit, run the small brush through the straw. For a deeper cleaning, add a drop of mild soap or tablespoon of bleach to a clean glass jar filled with water. Drop the bite valve, straw and cap into the solution, and tightly close the jar�s lid.� Shake the mixture around for 30 seconds, and then let the parts soak for about 15 minutes. Rinse and shake dry.
Flip the stem collar (the component the bite valve attached to originally) to the open position. Orient the bite valve so the finger tab points towards the front of the cap. Push the bite valve firmly onto the stem collar. Press the straw back into place on the bottom of the lid. Ensure the straw covers the notches completely.

We are known for our over the top shows; bright lights, full bands and orchestras, feathers and dancers, aerialists flying through the air and acrobats tumbling across the stage. Everyone in Vegas, locals and tourists alike expect to be amazed.
But just like any other job the workers can get bored with the same 'ole-same 'ole. Imagine having to flip and fly through the air 5-6 days a week!
Jump and flip to this pole.
Fly (gracefully) off the stage on the count of 3.
Hit your mark, spin, then catch the girl.
Sheesh! Those Cirque performers could probably do most of their acts in their sleep! Boring!
Ok, maybe it doesn't sound so monotonous to those of us who work with our feet firmly planted on the ground, but just like those of us doing what we love–or at least some variation of it, they still have a need to stretch their talents and a desire keep their creative juices flowing.
We all need to remember why we're doing what we're doing in the first place. For the love of ____<—(insert your heart's passion here).
Over the past week I've met more than a few of these artists and had the opportunity to see them perform their own original dances, comedy, dramas, etc…it has been a wonderfully inspiring experience.
Shows rarely start early—remember these are after work projects and most shows on the strip don't start until 7 or 10 pm.
Last Wednesday…well Thursday if I'm being technical about it, I headed over to the Baobab Theater a little after midnight for the 'Ok, Ok! Amos Glick Variety Show'. Amos is a clown in Le Reve by day, however, his show is a hodge-podge of acts including, but never limited to: interpretive dance, a somewhat perverted balloon making comedian, juggling, a mime performance, and a step percussion group that goes by the name of Molodi.
It was all very cool to watch, I really was amazed…It felt less like a show and more like I was hanging out in the basement with friends after work having a few drinks and watching them mess around. Everything wasn't planned or perfect but that was a part of the fun. Things dropped, beer overflowed, the audience laughed, the performers laughed and everyone had a great time.
The show doesn't have a regular schedule but you can keep up with them on Facebook.
Molodi just happens to be performing again tonight at a normal time (8pm) on the Baobab stage. So I'm super excited to get a chance to see their 'complete experiment in body percussion' so soon after being introduced to them. Don't worry an interview and full review to come later this week.
By the way, if you're in Town Square around 4pm today you may see their flash mob performance as well…and you might just see me join in. Well, maybe. Update: Flash mob has been cancelled…I will let you know if they reschedule.
You can find The Vegas Soulcialite on Facebook and Twitter…follow the fun and join the conversation.

The 2012 presidential election might be barely in the country's rear view, but in Montgomery County, politicos are already looking to the 2014 race and who will run for county executive.
Two years ago, incumbent County Executive Isiah Leggett (D) said publicly he would not seek re-election in 2014, potentially leaving a wide-open race for the county's top spot.
When it comes to 2014, Leggett said he has not changed his mind, despite frequent inquiries of his plans.
With the 2014 primary less than two years away, at least two people have said they plan to pursue Leggett's seat.
Councilmen Philip M. Andrews and George L. Leventhal have confirmed they are pursuing campaigns for executive.
"I am going to run for county executive," said Andrews (D-Dist. 3) of Gaithersburg.
"I'm making plans to run for county executive," said Leventhal (D-At large) of Takoma Park.
State Del. Benjamin Kramer (D-Dist. 19) of Derwood said he is considering a bid, but will wait to see what Leggett does.
"I have had a number of meetings with our current county executive, seeking his advice and guidance," Kramer said. "Ultimately, much of my decision will be based on what he chooses to do, and should he seek re-election to a third term, he has my full support."
But should Leggett stand by his previous statement and not run, Kramer has been meeting with his supporters and exploring a race for executive.
Councilman Marc B. Elrich (D-At large) of Takoma Park said he too is waiting to see what Leggett does before he decides his plan for 2014. He described his current plans as "open."
"If Ike runs, I won't run for executive," Elrich said. "If he decides not to run, I might go for it."
No others rumored to be considering bids for executive have declared their plans.
Steve Silverman challenged Leggett for executive in 2006 but would not say if he was or was not planning to run for the position again.
Silverman, who is the current county Economic Development director, said his focus right now is only on growing Montgomery County's tax base and creating jobs.
Councilwoman Valerie Ervin noted that a woman has never been Montgomery County Executive and that in 2014 that could change.
When asked her plans, Ervin (D-Dist. 5) of Silver Spring said she is still exploring her options.
Councilwoman Nancy Floreen would also not disclose any plans, nor would former Councilwoman Duchy Trachtenberg.
Said Floreen: "I'm running for something."
"All options are on the table right now," Trachtenberg said in an email, "and it's premature to confirm anything right now one way or another." When Trachtenberg left the council in 2010, she made it clear that was not the end of her political career.
As many wait to see what Leggett will do, Elrich said he is also watching other races, including those for county council.
Council President Roger Berliner (D-Dist. 1) of Bethesda along with Council Vice President Nancy Navarro (D-Dist. 4) of Silver Spring and Councilmen Hans Riemer (D-At large) of Takoma Park and Craig L. Rice (D-Dist. 2) of Germantown have all said they plan to seek reelection to the county council.
Former County Executive Douglas M. Duncan could not be reached for comment.

Recipe by Pat Keene
"A tasty ham and navy bean soup."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 (16 ounce) package
dried navy beans
7 cups
ham bone
2 cups
diced ham
1/4 cup
minced onion
1/2 teaspoon
1 pinch
ground black pepper
bay leaf
1/2 cup
sliced carrots
1/2 cup
sliced celery
I am an Appalachian "kid" and bean soup was a staple in our family. Here is a little trick I learned. Cover your beans, nothing else added, with cold water, and bring to a solid boil for about 10 minutes. Remove the pan DON'T DRAIN and SET THE PAN IN YOUR SINK. Throw in about 1/4 cup baking soda, (in the hills it's a handful) and stir like crazy until the foam that will appear disappears, (don't worry if the foam looks green). Drain and rinse very well in cold water to remove all the soda flavor, then start recooking according to the directions. Doing this, you won't have to soak the beans, it cuts your cooking time, and removes maybe not all, but most of the "gas". More soda, less gas. The reason for setting the pan in the sink is that it will foam quite a bit and could go over the sides of your pan. BTW, never used a bay leaf in my life for bean soup.
Right after cooking, the soup is pretty bland. Much better after it sits in the refrigerator overnight. I think adding chicken broth, garlic and/or liquid smoke would help make recipe more flavorful.

I boil the beans in enough water just to cover them 2x, discarding the water both times. It gets rid of the "gas" without adding extra sodium that using baking soda provides. Then I add enough water for the recipe, bring the beans to a boil, and add the ham bone, or ham hocks, or fried & crumbled bacon if I have no ham. Simmer until beans are just tender. Add the carrots and celery, and also try adding a coarsely diced green pepper; cook about 20 minutes more. Meanwhile, I dice the onion as finely as I have patience to do, and fry it up in bacon grease. When it's tender, I add a mixture of flour (about 1/4 cup), paprika (about 3 TBLS) and lots of black pepper. Add this to the soup, and stir and stir - the flour will just barely thicken the soup. This soup gets raves. Contact me for canning instructions.
I really liked this dish, but I did change a few things. As suggested by other reviewers, I used about 5 cups of chicken broth and 2 cups of water (I omitted the salt altogether). I followed the recipe directions for the beans and they turned out great. I increased the amount of vegetables though and would probably increase to about a cup of each in the future. Once the soup was done, I removed about 1.5 cups of soup and pureed it with my hand blender, added about 1/4 cup ketchp and added that back to the soup. The ketchup added really great flavour and the puree gave the soup a really nice consistency. Apart from adding more vegetables, I will increase the liquid for this soup next time as we did find it a bit more "stew" (rather than soup) like. Great recipe, thanks!
I soaked my beans overnight, like I always do. I put all the ingredients into a slowcooker, set it on low and at dinnertime we had bean soup like I remembered! I grew up putting ketchup in my soup and eating it ladled over thick slices of homemade bread! YUM
Very good recipe. I thought it was missing something so I did add what my father made when I was young. He used to add ketchup, much like a couple of the other reviewers mentioned. Instead, I added a large can of whole tomatoes. Also, I added about four diced potatoes right near the last 40 minutes. Potatoes make it thicker, which I prefer. I also omitted the salt. Very good with cornbread.
This is very similar to my recipe for bean soup and it's excellent! The only thing I do differently, is that I cook everything together, rather than adding the veggies later and cook on low for 5-6 hours. Just before serving, I add 1/4 cup of instant potato flakes to slightly thicken the stock. Don't forget to remove the bay leaf before serving!
I've always made my ham and navy bean soup this way, with the addition of a can of diced tomatoes or of plain tomato sauce (if the kids didn't want tomato chunks). Season to taste. sometimes I add a bit of thyme as well. Kids always like it and it's a nice hearty soup for the winter.

Hey Neighbour…what's growing on?
As the Wildflower group has been working away in the garden the last few weeks over at the Ecohouse, so have our neighbours! Dr. Clinton Beckford, Associate Dean of the Faculy of Education, has started a vegetable garden in the backyard of the Ecohouse. We met up with him recently to get the scoop on what's growing on. Dr. Beckford told us that he started the organic vegetable garden in hopes of other faculty of education members wanting to join in and help. His hopes and plans for the future of the garden involve creating a garden where children can learn and help with the process of where our food comes from. The maintenance of his garden involves using compost and natural manure and individual watering of the plants with the intention of conserving water. The vegetables they are growing include tomatoes, zucchinis, eggplant, cucumber, a variety of sweet peppers and eventually spices and condiments. Dr. Beckford's research area is in sustainable tropical food systems and security, so he is no stranger to the garden. He has worked with farmers in Jamaica and comes from a family of cultivators. It is so exciting to see the Windsor community getting green and healthy, especially when it is right in our own backyard!

Beyerdynamic DTX 102 iE In-Ear Headphones (Silver)
"Only short review from me. Since the "The Wirecutter" claimed these would be the best IEMs under $100 I had to try them when I saw them for $49 on a very special sale.

Steel is a versatile commodity that plays a major part in everyday lifefrom food cans, household containers, automobiles, and office buildings. Steel makes up the largest category of metals in the municipal solid waste (MSW) and industrial waste streams. Steel has long been a recycled material throughout the world.
Just the Facts
- In 2013, the United States generated about 2.4 million tons of steel as containers and packaging in the MSW stream, as well as another 15.2 million tons of ferrous metals, which include iron and steel, as durable goodsrepresenting 6.9 percent of total MSW generation in 2013.
- The amount of ferrous metals generation in MSW has declined from 11.7 percent in 1960 to 6.9 percent in 2013.
- Large quantities of steel and other ferrous metals are found in construction materials and transportation products, such as automobiles, locomotives, and ships, but these are not included in calculations of MSW. These non-MSW products are, however, highly recycled. For example, in 2008, the steel industry recovered and recycled more than 14 million tons of shredded steel scrap from automobilesa recycling rate of 95 percent, according to the Steel Recycling Institute (SRI).
More Steel Information
The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) is a trade association representing steel producers, including integrated, electric furnace, and reconstituted mills; suppliers to or customers of the industry; and affiliate member organizations, including downstream steel producers of products such as cold rolled strip, pipe and tube, and coated sheet.
The Steel Recycling Institute (SRI) , a unit of AISI, is an industry association that promotes steel recycling.
The Steel Manufacturers Association (SMA) consists of 57 North American companies that operate more than 130 steel plants. SMA is a trade association for scrap-based EAF steel makers.
The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) is a trade association representing the scrap processing and recycling industry. ISRI represents 1,400 companies that process, broker, and industrially consume scrap commodities, including metals.
US Geological Survey, Iron and Steel Recycling in the United States in 2012 (PDF) (2 pp, 234K, about PDF). For previous years reports, see Iron and Steel Scrap Statistics Information.
How Steel is Made
Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. It is made by heating coke, a solid iron fuel, with iron ore and limestone in a blast furnace. It is produced in one of two ways: the basic oxygen furnace (BOF) process, which uses 25 to 35 percent recovered steel, and the electric arc furnace (EAF) process which uses nearly 100 percent recovered steel.
Steel Recycling
Steel cans and other steel recyclables are usually collected from the curbside or dropoff programs, then hauled to a material recovery facility, where workers separate it from other recyclables and crush it in to large bales. The bales are shipped to steel mills or foundries, where they are combined with other steel scrap and melted in a furnace to make new steel.
The steel industry in North America has been recycling steel scrap for more than 150 years. The steel industry needs scrap to produce new steel, which ensures that all steel products contain anywhere from 25 percent up to 100 percent recycled content. It also is cheaper to recycle steel than it is to mine virgin ore to manufacture new steel. New ore is still mined in order to supplement production of steel and steel products.
Recovering steel not only saves money, but also dramatically reduces energy consumption, compared to making steel from virgin materials. In turn, this reduces the amount of greenhouse gases released in to the air during processing and manufacturing steel from virgin ore.
Source Reduction
Source reduction is the process of reducing the amount or toxicity of waste generated. The steel industry has successfully been able to reduce the amount of material needed to make the same products. According to data from AISI, over the past 25 years, the thickness of steel containers has been reduced by 30 percent, from 0.20 millimeters (mm) to 0.14 mm. Technological developments in gauge control are further reducing thicknesses to 0.12 mm. Thickness will continue to be reduced through more advanced technology and higher-quality steel. Steel for automobiles has also become more lightweight, especially given recent demand for lighter, more fuel-efficient vehicles.

Not coming to a cinema near you?
Last updated at 11:15, Saturday, 25 February 2012
The curtain will rise at the Oscars amid the usual expectation, excitement and fanfare that the world's most glittering awards ceremony brings.
The Artist, The Descendants, and Moneyball are set to battle it out for the best picture, while George Clooney, Gary Oldman and Brad Pitt compete for the best leading actor.
Meryl Streep, Michelle Williams and Glenn Close will vie to be best actress alongside Michel Hazanavicius, Terrence Malick and Martin Scorsese who bid to be crowned best director.
The show will be watched by millions of viewers across the world and all the usual stars will be in attendance.
In Cumbria, the weekend brings a more conflicting story of the state of cinema.
On one hand Keswick Film Festival opened on Thursday with an appearance from universally respected and globally-popular actor John Hurt, who has spoken of the importance of the independent cinema.
On the other hand, The Artist finally had its Carlisle debut yesterday, a full seven weeks after its UK release.
Keswick resident Tom Rennie, 69, runs the Alhambra cinema which is co-hosting the town's film festival, which has been running annually for 13 years and sells around 3,000 tickets a year.
Understandably, given the success of the festival, he isn't too downbeat about the state of cinema in the county.
He says: "Cinema in Cumbria is not in decline now, but it's static.
"The industry is cyclical and there are peaks and troughs.
"We have had attendances of up to 36,000 a year although at the moment we're getting about 25,000 a year.
"I would like to ease it back up to 30,000 a year."
Mr Rennie acknowledges that part of the challenge is due to Keswick not having a typical cinema crowd.
He explains: "Cumbria is a very sparsely-populated county and Keswick is a small town in it.
"A problem is that the cinema isn't quite the 'in' place that it used to be.
"Ten years ago I would be tearing my hair out telling young people to be quiet and stop throwing popcorn.
"We have got to address people that are in this catchment and most of the people in Keswick are not thrill-seeking youngsters.
"They are people who have a relatively quiet time in the town."
The lack of a younger audience doesn't stop the Alhambra bringing in blockbusters now and again though.
Mr Rennie says: "If people know that we are getting a big box office film they will wait and not go elsewhere.
"We can now negotiate and try and get releases earlier.
"If we get things like the Twilight releases we will show them as long as we profitably can.
"When we have things like Twilight on I always wonder where all the young people come from!"
Although Mr Rennie is not a film buff himself, he has many years of experience of managing the cinema since moving to Keswick in 1989 and last year took over the reigns of the Alhambra cinema from Alan Towers, who runs the cinema in Penrith and was the man behind the former Lonsdale Cinema in Carlisle.
Advertising is a route that he will be going into, as well as emphasising different aspects of the cinema experience.
"We have to promote the social aspect of it," Mr Rennie said.
"We're opening up deals with restaurants where you get a free ticket with a meal.
"The idea is to go along with a friend an have a drink afterwards and a chat about the film.
"If we find out we are getting a good response then we can develop that market."
Despite this optimism, Mr Rennie's voice gives off a note of sadness and resignation as he talks about the changes coming for the cinema.
He explains: "The big change is digital cinema. The media have been predicting the demise of 35mm prints for eight to 10 years now, and we've been told we will receive no more 35mm prints from about July 2014. Forty-eight per cent of cinemas have not yet converted to digital and we are one of them.
"It's very expensive to convert – about £60,000 a screen.
"Things move on and it seems as though digital is the way forward."
Mr Rennie also acknowledges that it's partly because of his age that he's so at home running the cinema.
He says: "Under the previous owner it was running at a loss and I'd like to make a very modest profit.
"I'd be very apprehensive if I was in my 20s or 30s and wanting to take over a cinema and make "£30,000 a year.
"If I make £15,000 a year I would be very happy with that.
"I'm 69 now and the cinema is 99.
"I'm going to see it through its 100th year. We're going to stagger over together for a memorable birthday."
Robert Charters, principal lecturer in visual and written media at the University of Cumbria, has his own theory as to why Cumbrian cinema has seen better days.
He says that the problem is the lack of British productions being available in cinemas.
"What's happened in the last 20 years is a reduction in the variety of different films," Mr Charters said. "We don't see ourselves and our culture on screen very much.
"There are lots of American films, and you don't see British people very much. The British people that you do see are through the lens of an American."
There's also the difference between the outlook of Americans and Brits.
"American films are about saving the world – British films are about saving a supermarket," he said.
Another problem is the price of films and increase in readily-available technology.
Mr Charters explains: "People are going to the cinema less because of the cost. I took my daughter to see War Horse and by the time I'd bought decent tickets and popcorn it cost £30.
"People have HDTVs and Blu-ray players now, and going to the cinema ceases to be as much of an occasion.
"Cinema is aimed at 14 to 25-year-olds because they still use the cinema as somewhere to go and snog.
"Older people have places of their own."
Across the county, Whitehaven resident Richard Adair is organising a campaign to reinvigorate interest in a cinema in Whitehaven.
Thirty-year-old Richard, a electrical engineering student and Sellafield employee, says that Whitehaven needs a cinema to revitalise the town.
He said: "I was watching the BAFTAs a few weeks ago and Stephen Fry mentioned that everyone should support their cinema.
"That made me think that we should have one – it would be very good for the town."
Richard has set up a Facebook page to gather support for bringing the silver screen back to the coastal town.
In less than a week, more than 140 people have 'liked' the page, and Richard hopes that this shows a level of interest in his idea.
He says: "I don't know about the financial aspects of it but I was just seeing if there's a demand.
"We've had a cinema in the past so I hope there can be one in the future."
He also feels that the lack of a cinema is part of a wider problem in the town, and Cumbria as a whole.
He says: "I just like watching films, and I think everyone does.
"Films can unite people and bring them together.
"A lot of buildings aren't being used and the town needs better shops – many northern towns have the same problem.
"There are also rumours of sporting development and I think both would be great.
"I really hope something can happen and bring a bit of life into the town.
"If we can do this, what else can we do?"

I am looking for info on premptively reducing electronic interference when using hi frequency welding. I have aquired an old Miller 330A/BP welder. I have tried it out, but have not done any real welding with it yet. Most of my anticipated welding will be in the lower ranges, DC straight polarity. I have the machine well grounded, and my work table also grounded to an outside ground rod. Out of necessity of space and garage layout, the welder is 8 feet from my main panel, and the small work table is even closer to the main panel. The torch cables that came with the welder are 25 feet long. 10 feet would be long enough for my use. I have been told if I snake them on the floor without coiling, it will help. Would getting the shorter torch cables make much of a difference? Where is most of the potential interference emitted, the welder machine itself, the torch cables, or the arc? Are there any other tips on dealing with this issue? I'm out in the country, so the neighbors are not that close, but I have heard that under some circumstances the electronic interference can carry quite a bit. I don't want to have the neighbors complaining.
I don't know if I even have a problem with any interference, as things currently are. I haven't talked with the neighbors yet, asking them to tell me about it, but initially I would like to try the cheapest preventative measures first, before I spend any real money on a yet unknown or nonexisting problem.

Reducing Hi Frequenccy Interference
Not much concern of HF interference on DC TIG... the HF is only there for a short time to start the arc... it will be continuous on AC TIG for Aluminum...
As far as general HF RF interference issues go.... if the spark gaps are properly adjusted and the unit is properly hooked to AC power and grounded.. it should be no problem..
Section 10-2. Installation Showing Possible Sources Of HF Interference Page 59
in the Sync 250 manual gives a pretty good overview
The more you know, The better you know, How little you know
The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten

Thank you. I forgot to mention in my O.P. That the spark gap was set at .013, and I reduced it to .008.
Being an older transformer machine, simply twist tye the tig torch cable to the work lead, first 2' after leaving the machine. Presto zero interferance.
The ground rod idea, is silly unles you know exacty the moisture content in it. Few do.

The new head of the state's economic development agency, four sitting elected officials, a former mayoral candidate who pleaded guilty to criminal charges and a group supporting improvements to Fort Wayne Community Schools are among those facing fines for missing the deadlines for filing campaign finance reports.
The Allen County Election Board will meet Thursday and is expected to impose fines totaling thousands of dollars against at least 20 individuals or groups. It has been board policy to impose a fine of $25 per day for candidates not in office and $50 per day for officeholders and others.
The largest fine – a maximum $1,000 – could be imposed on the "REPAIR FWCS" political-action committee that successfully advocated a voter-approved tax increase to pay for building improvements. The PAC has a balance of about $22,500 but did not file its pre-election form, due last October, until this month.
The other fines would result from failure to file 2012 annual reports by noon Jan. 16.
Eric Doden, a Fort Wayne businessman who unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination for mayor in 2011, could be fined $150. Earlier this month, Gov. Mike Pence tapped Doden to serve as chief executive officer of the Indiana Economic Development Corp.
Elected officials facing fines are Republican City Council President Tom Didier ($100), Republican County Councilman Tom Harris and Kevin Howell ($50 each), and Republican New Haven City Councilman Craig Dellinger, also $50.
Matt Kelty, the 2007 Republican mayoral candidate who pleaded guilty in 2008 for failing to disclose more than $150,000 in campaign loans from Fred Rost and Steve and Glenna Jehl, could be fined $25 for filing "a few hours late," Beth Dlug, director of elections, said. Although Kelty is prohibited from seeking local office, he cannot close his campaign account until the outstanding loans are paid, Dlug added.
Others facing fines include: former Republican County Councilman James Ball; former Democratic City Councilwoman Karen Goldner; Allen County Council candidate Gina Burgess; FWCS board candidate Michael Davis; former Republican County Councilwoman and mayoral candidate Paula Hughes; Democratic City Council candidate the Rev. Michael Latham; former Democratic City Councilman Tim Pape; Democratic County Council candidate Ken Saylor; former Republican Wayne Township Trustee Matt Schomburg; Democratic City Council candidate Steven Shafer; Republican Wayne Township Trustee candidate Tim Smith; Republican County Surveyor candidate Jeff Sorg; and Democratic County Treasurer candidate Scott Williams.
As of Tuesday, Dlug said, Williams still had not filed – pushing his possible fine to more than $860. Other possible fines of more than $100 include Ball ($325) and Sorg ($200).
Collected fines pay for the enforcement of campaign-finance laws, said Dlug, who suggested that the larger-than-usual number of violations could be due to oversights caused by a busy election season. Candidates could avoid fines by closing their campaign accounts, but they – not the Election Board – must take that step, Dlug said.
All candidates are informed of filing deadlines, she added.

If you have a sump pump in your house/basement, does it mean you have (or potentially could have) a flooding problem?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Home Improvement Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for contractors and serious DIYers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Yes, generally you'll have a sump pump if the water table could reasonably rise to the level of the bottom of the basement.
The sump pump is most often used in combination with a drainage system around the foundation that directs water into a "sump pit". The sump pump then pumps water out of the sump pit once it rises to a certain level. If you have city sewer service, the water is usually pumped into the sewer system. If not, it's usually just pumped up through a PVC pipe and out into the yard.

Citing risks to public health and economic growth, Maryland lawmakers are proposing a mandatory standard by which workers can earn paid sick days.
"To me, this is very common-sense legislation," Senate Majority Leader Robert J. Garagiola (D-Dist. 15) of Germantown said at a news conference last week. "[People are] working, they're putting in the hours, they should get paid sick leave."
Those who aren't able to take paid time off risk spreading illness, whether it's a restaurant worker with the flu or an office colleague who can't stay home, Garagiola said. The measure is also good for business because it boosts worker morale and reduces employee turnover, Garagiola said.
The proposal, led in the House by Del. John A. Olszewski Jr. (D-Dist. 6) of Dundalk, allows all full-time employees to earn an hour of sick time for every 30 hours worked, or up to seven sick days per year. Part-time workers would earn fewer days, depending on how often they work.
Working Matters, a coalition of more than 60 organizations supporting the bill, estimates that hundreds of thousands of Marylanders — many in the food service or home health-care industries — don't earn paid sick days.
A 2011 study by the Institute for Women's Policy Research found that only about 60 percent of Maryland's nearly 2 million private-sector employees received paid sick days.
"Three-and-a-half days is a month of groceries for many Maryland families," Olszewksi said at the news conference. "We're literally talking about people eating or working."
But the Maryland Chamber of Commerce, which was still reviewing the bill Monday, is concerned that such a mandate on employers would disproportionately harm small businesses.
"You cannot have a one-size-fits-all [proposal]," said Deriece Pate Bennett, the chamber's vice president of government affairs. Larger businesses might be able to shoulder the costs, but smaller ones likely would not, she said.
Still, some business owners, like Andy Shallal, who owns the Busboys and Poets restaurant chain, which has locations in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C., are backing the proposal.
The restaurant has offered sick leave to its employees for more that three years and is preparing to open two new restaurants, Shallal said.
"We're living proof that the sky is not going to fall," he said. Only about 10 percent of his workforce has used the policy, and the additional expense has amounted to less than 1 percent of his payroll costs, he said.
"I think this is something that's been long overdue," Shallal said.

Editor's note: This is the second of a two-part series on the induction of longtime SWCC coach and athletic director Ron "Fox" Clinton into the Southwestern Athletics Hall of Fame.
The seeds of Ron "Fox" Clinton's coaching legend were planted while still a student at Simpson College in Indianola in the 1950s.
The former pitcher for Council Bluffs Thomas Jefferson's state championship baseball team also played for Simpson. He also gave basketball a try, but his career took a different turn there. Les Deaton, the men's basketball coach, must have recognized some leadership qualities.
"I was JV talent," Clinton said. "So, now I'm a junior and we've established the fact that I'm not going to play. So, I'm the JV coach, a student coach. I coached my first game against the Drake University freshmen. Back then there were no women's teams, so the JV was the prelim game. I coached JV for two years."
What was born was a coaching and officiating career spanning nearly five decades. Clinton, 76, was honored Saturday as the first inductee into the Southwestern Community College Athletic Hall of Fame.
Things always happened in a hurry for Clinton. Playing in the national tournament in the spring of 1958 for Simpson baseball coach R.B. "Hap" Miller, Clinton returned from the tournament and four days later, he and wife Ruth were married.
In the fall of 1958 Clinton completed his student-teaching assignment, and then enrolled in the Army for a six-month stint.
"My mother's three brothers were all in the war," Clinton explained. "It was kind of inbred in the family that you do your duty to your country. Ruth was about to kill me!"
Creston start
After his discharge, Clinton returned to Council Bluffs in June 1959 and went to visit his high school baseball coach, Roy Jessen. As it turned out, Jessen was about to leave to become Creston's high school principal.
"He asked what I was doing, and I said I was looking for a job," Clinton said. "He said, 'why don't you come to Creston with me?' I told him that sounded like a pretty idea! And that was the end of the interview."
Clinton's first job in Creston was seventh-grade general science teacher and junior high coach for football, basketball and track.
After two years, Clinton was recalled for another six months of military duty, which delayed an opportunity that had come up to coach the high school basketball team when Maury Geist moved to the junior college as a counselor. So, upon his return to Creston, Clinton coached two years of sophomore basketball under Bill Baldwin, who attended Saturday's ceremony at SWCC. Clinton was also assigned to coach high school baseball with Dale Howard.
Howard lost his job as Creston Junior College basketball coach after an incident in the old junior high gym, where the Golden Bears played home games. Howard would go on to a career as coach at Iowa Central, and then a successful auto dealership in Iowa Falls. He is now known as one of the largest contributors and sponsors for University of Iowa athletics.
But his departure opened the door for Clinton, who tells the story in his own unique fashion:
"Dale coached the juco men's basketball team to the national tournament," Clinton said. "We played at the old junior high, and they had those old gray benches to sit on. They're probably still sitting around in the locker room there or something. Dale didn't like a call, and he kind of kicked, not really kicked as much as stuck his foot under the bench and flipped it.
"There was this loud crash of the bench flipping over and landing on the floor," Clinton continued. "Well, back then the school and the junior college were under the same board and authority, and one of the school board members was at the game. She said, 'That's it. We don't act that way here.' And they fired Howard from the basketball job. Well, he said he wasn't going to stick around and coach the (high school) baseball team that summer. So, that's how I got that job."
Meanwhile, some weeks passed without the junior college basketball coaching position being filled, and this bold newcomer in his 20s from Simpson College made his pitch to Superintendent Gene Hertz. (Clinton would end up playing with his son, Tom Hertz, on the Creston Saints semipro baseball team. Hertz became one of Creston's all-time football greats as a University of Missouri player.)
"I went up to Gene Hertz and told him I'd like to have the (basketball) job at the junior college," Clinton recalled. "He told me to get out of there, that no kid who'd only coached two years of sophomore ball was going to be the juco head coach."
Armed with two years of college JV coaching while a student, Clinton persisted and refused to be intimidated. His power of persuasion won Hertz over and Clinton succeeded Howard as coach of the Creston Junior College Golden Bears.
An era had dawned.
"About the third time I went up to his office, he told me, OK, that I'd worn him down," Clinton said, smiling.
Clinton earned his master's degree from what is now Northwest Missouri State University, and joined the SWCC faculty in 1968.
For a decade, Clinton coached Creston High School baseball, Creston Junior College baseball and the juco basketball team simultaneously. He said when one of the juco teams was strong, the other tended not to be, because it was hard to consistently recruit both at a high level.
One year, the junior college basketball team had won only four games, and was likely to get drubbed in the conference tournament opener at top-seeded Grand View. Clinton turned the team over to his assistant for that game, and took baseball player Jimmy Rogers, also a reserve on the basketball team, to Chicago to visit former SWCC player Steve Antrim, who was then coaching in the city.
Antrim would go on to be an assistant for Johnny Orr at Iowa State and make other coaching stops, including head coach at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Antrim gave Clinton an inside track to Chicago talent.
"We were there for five days," Clinton said. "We stayed with Antrim, and he took us around. I got to meet the head man of the Catholic League there. Now I'm in there, and we have an influx of Chicago kids."
Clinton stopped coaching the juco baseball team after 10 years. Dick Coskey and Lou Yacinich (who went on to a legendary career at Grand View) had brief tenures. When Yacinich returned to Des Moines, Clinton was athletic director at what was then Southwestern Community College, and he made what he calls the most important hire of his life.
Krejci hired
An assistant coach at his alma mater, Council Bluffs TJ, was a young man from Chicago who had played baseball at Northwest Missouri State.
It was the summer of 1978. Clinton had met Bill Krejci, both through TJ and having Krejci as an umpire for some Creston High School games.
Rick Mathews, who went on to several professional baseball positions as well as Indian Hills head coach, was at Iowa Western Community College then. He convinced Krejci that taking the job in Creston would be a good stepping stone to another good college job.
Krejci ended up not only coaching baseball at SWCC and later national teams for USA Baseball, but assisted Clinton in men's basketball. One day in 1984, Clinton wanted to give up the men's basketball gig, and convinced Krejci to take it.
"I did it out of loyalty to Fox, frankly," Krejci said, "because I really didn't know what I was doing."
Krejci remains at the college, retired from coaching and the faculty, but still on duty as Clinton's successor as athletic director.
"The best moves I ever made at Southwestern was to grab Bill Krejci and Rita Schroeder as coaches for me," Clinton said. Schroeder was a highly-successful volleyball coach, now retired, but his escort for Saturday's Hall of Fame ceremony.
"Those two really made me look good," Clinton said.
Forbes arrives
During his final two years as basketball coach, which ended in 1991, Krejci's assistant was an up-and-coming Lone Tree native named Steve Forbes, who had played at Southern Arkansas.
The Forbes story is now legend. He succeeded Krejci as head coach of the Spartans for two years, moved to Barton County, Kan., became their head coach and latched on to assistant positions at five Division I universities, including Texas A&M and Tennessee.
Forbes was part of the fallout of Bruce Pearl's demise at Tennessee, and landed a job at one of the nation's top junior colleges. He is head coach at Northwest Florida State, where his team has been 57-4 in the past two seasons with the school's first appearance in the national juco finals in 17 years.
In Creston, Clinton was Forbes' "basketball encyclopedia" as a coach learning the ropes.
"We talked a lot of ball," Clinton said. "Steve wrote me the nicest letter when he heard about the Hall of Fame thing."
"Forbes has always been very complimentary of Fox, he was like a mentor to him here," Krejci said. "He called Fox 'the gift that keeps on giving' with his service to Southwestern."
When the Pearl regime was rolling high in the SEC, Clinton and Krejci visited the staff and sat down with Pearl and Forbes in the basketball office on a game day. For Clinton, the mentor, it was validation that his young protege had made the big time.
Women's coaching
About the time Krejci took over the men's basketball job in 1984, St. Malachy School needed a girls basketball coach, and Clinton, ever the coach, filled that role for a year.
It spawned a realization that he kind of liked coaching girls athletics, and soon the SWCC women's basketball position was filled.
"I appointed myself as women's coach," he said. "It wasn't like there were a lot of applicants."
Five years later Clinton had one of the highest-scoring junior college women's teams in the nation, and made the national tournament. The coach of a Michigan team in the first round was Tom Barnes, who had succeeded Clinton as Creston High School baseball coach.
"I remember superintendent (Paul) Grumley telling me one day at the golf club that Barnes wanted the high school baseball job, and he was going to give it to him because he was a teacher on staff, and I wasn't," Clinton said. "I said, OK, well I'm going to go play golf now. Then, all those years later, there we are in Bismarck, N.D., and I look up and there's Barnes coaching the other team."
Shrewd strategist
SWCC lost that game, but over the years the "Fox" — who got the nickname for "outfoxing" other drivers in taking a quicker way to the motel in Norfolk, Neb. — won considerably more games than he lost. Krejci loved studying Clinton's moves, whether it be in basketball or on the ball diamond.
"Fox is one of the best game coaches I've ever been around, in any sport," Krejci said. "He saw things that only he could see. He sees the game, and knows when to make a move. He picks out details that you and I might not see."
He could also launch a few verbal jabs at officials and umpires, but only because he had a working knowledge of the sport through his own work as an official, which earned him Hall of Fame status as well. One of his longtime colleagues in officiating was Paul Somers, SWCC's longtime student services director. That position oversees athletics.
Clinton, who says he never got restless seeking another job because Ruth convinced him this was the place to raise their family, became well-known throughout the area as a flamboyant story-teller.
Shenandoah native Chuck Offenburger, former Iowa Boy columnist in the Des Moines Register, and an author currently living in Greene County, was a baseball enthusiast and fondly remembers encounters with "Fox" around southwest Iowa.
"Ron "Fox" Clinton is one of the great characters who've graced the Iowa sports scene through the decades. Oh, the stories!," Offenburger said, when informed of Clinton's Hall of Fame induction.
"He was a great coach, and an even better talker. Nobody ever had more fun at work than Ron 'Fox' Clinton," Offenburger said.

What Is a Stakeholder Advisory Group?
A stakeholder advisory group, or oversight committee, is a group of individuals from the community who have come together with a vested interest in the success of their local ACT team.
The NAMI Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) Technical Assistance (TA) Center recommends that each team have a stakeholder advisory group, which is actively involved in the implementation and ongoing program review of the ACT team. The group is also charged with offering support, guidance, assistance, and advice to the ACT team, to help ensure fidelity to the ACT model. The group advises and monitors on issues of client complaints or grievances, as well as on client rights.
Membership of the stakeholder advisory committee should consist of at least 51% consumers and family members, with at least 3 consumer members. Other members are community stakeholders with an interest in the success of the ACT team. These may include representatives of organizations that interact with the ACT team, such as jail release staff, landlords, homeless service providers, and landlords.

- people in the U.S. have this name View Ashley Harris on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
Originally male, but now an increasingly popular given name for girls, this is a transferred use of the surname, which comes from any of numerous places in England named with Old English æsc 'ash' + lēah 'wood'. It is recorded as a given name in the 16th century, but its wider use was probably inspired by Anthony Ashley Cooper (1801–85), 7th Earl of Shaftesbury, a noted humanitarian who inspired much of the legislation designed to improve conditions among the working classes. It became one of the three most popular girls' names in North America in the latter half of the 20th century, with a wide variety of spellings.

Amanda L. Petersen, PhD
Associate Professor, Spanish
Amanda L. Petersen has been a member of the faculty since 2008. She teaches Spanish language and Latin American literatures and cultures courses. Her areas of expertise include 20th and 21st century Latin American women authors and Latin American literature, with an emphasis on Mexican narrative. Her research interests focus on the literary representations of gender and violence in contemporary Mexican short stories by female authors.
Ph.D., University of Colorado, Boulder, Hispanic Literature
B.A. and M.A., Wichita State University, Spanish
Scholarly and Creative Work
Professor Petersen's research focuses primarily on the topics of gender and violence in contemporary Mexican narrative. This line of investigation interrogates the common tropes of ghosts and ruins that appear insistently, even obsessively, in texts by contemporary Mexican women writers. Her current book project is based on her dissertation titled "Bodies in Ruins: Gender and Violence in Contemporary Mexican Short Stories," and analyses the ideological implications of these portrayals of violence inflicted upon female bodies. The texts suggest that these fictional characters become ghostly due to symbolic violence—being silenced or forgotten—and physical violence—abuse or rape. Dr. Petersen's research discusses violence in terms of the female social body and establishes that the bodies are ghostly because they barelyexist, both in the texts and in the national context. Therefore, they are bodies in ruins: bodies that manifest present and past traumas, that are fragmented, literally or figuratively, and that are invisible, voiceless, absent, and suppressed.
Professor Petersen's scholarship and dedication to women's issues was recognized with the Dorothy Martin Doctoral Award at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Petersen has also presented scholarly papers on gender and violence in Caribbean and Peninsular literatures at national and international conferences. Her articles have been published in academic journals and collaborative books.
Teaching Interests
Professor Petersen teaches a variety of classes, from introductory Spanish language classes to upper-division classes on Latin American cultures and literatures. She frequently brings her research interests into her upper-division classrooms and the 2012-13 Graves Award in the Humanities recognized the manner in which Dr. Petersen relates her research to her teaching. She strives to engage her students to apply their knowledge in everyday situations by incorporating community involvement andglobal awareness into her language and literature classrooms. Petersen has recently taught special-topic seminars on the Narratives of the Mexican Revolution (fall 2010) and the Ghosts of Mexican Literature (fall 2011).

T Spa infinity Pool
In the sanctum of the T Spa, the indoor infinity swimming pool (15 m x 2,75 m) is a strip of azure, ultra pure energy. Two parallel baths linked by a beautiful arched passage give a double infinity effect with the stunning view of Lake Como repeated in the outdoor Jacuzzi and lounge area. One pool right on the lake front seems to enter the lake as if by magic. The other, in its own artificial cavern, remains concealed within T Spa.
Together the two baths offer five different types of Jacuzzi, some hidden away in the private grotto: beds with air bubbles; blade cascades for cervical massage; water jets and oxygen bubbles from the mosaic bottom of the pool to massage the soles of the feet; hydro massage in the circular lake-front Jacuzzi. And fitness enthusiasts can try swimming against an adjustable current.

Grants Pass, Ore.-- Library volunteers from the City of Grants Pass are pleading for help. They don't have enough money to continue funding all four libraries in Josephine County.
Saturday they were out gathering signatures for a petition that would help the current non-profit libraries create a library district.
Volunteers said this way the county can help create stable funding.
Patricia Narcum-Perez said it would work like this:
"The funds that are received to the county are put in a fund for the library called the library district. And just like a school district is funded then the money could be spent by the library only."
They need 8,500 signatures by May 8th in order to get the measure on the fall ballot.

Your life might start and end on the bike, but that still leaves a good deal of room in between. And within this space, it's a good idea not to ride to the bar in your Lycra. You probably thinking that you've got it covered with jeans and a t-shirt, but what about during cold weather? Stumped? Don't worry, Chrome has your back with the Stock Pasha Women's Hoodie. Checking off all the boxes on your wishlist, the Stock Pasha is warm, stylish, and designed specifically for a women's needs in the saddle.
At first glance, you probably wouldn't guess that the Stock Pasha has been designed for cycling. Exactly Chrome's point. The Stock Pasha hides its functionality in plain site. This way, you don't have to look like you're off to the gym when you're really off to the farmer's market. To accommodate your position and movements in the saddle, Chrome extended the sleeves and rear hem of the hoodie. Now, you can move freely without having the fabric ride up or bunch.
For storage, the Stock Pasha is fully loaded with subtly placed, useful pockets. Without surprise, there are two warming hand pockets. However, behind those, there's a zippered, pass-through cargo pocket on the rear panel. Altogether, you can store big volumes of stuff, eliminating the need to bring a bag for small trips out and about.
Getting down to the nitty-gritty, the Stock Pasha's main purpose is to keep you warm. So, Chrome constructed it from a thick, heathered cotton-blend fabric. This material keeps a good deal of the wind out, it adapts well to motion, and it keeps you warm in chilly temperatures. And when the mercury really starts to drop, zip all of the way up and pop the three-paneled hood to take advantage of the tall collar and extra head protection.
The Chrome Stock Pasha Women's Hoodie is available in four sizes from X-Small to Large and in the colors Black and Olive.

Warm without being bulky
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
This is a slim-cut hoodie - great for cycling/skateboarding/layering under a bigger shell. I'm 5'2" and 115lbs and the XS fits well. If you like your clothes a bit roomier, you might want to order a size up. Love the extra pocket in the back, but my only complaint is that the side pocket zippers are made with a really skinny zipper and a tiny little piece of metal to pull open and close -- you can't really get leverage to open the pocket with one hand, which, hi, if you're cycling, is kinda important. Wish they had put more thought into that. But as an everyday hoodie, this is great.

i would trade our colts 3rd in a heartbeat for him. he's electric and could definitely fit in our offense. he is like randall cobb with more physical ability, and look what he's become for GB.
Wallace, Bowe or jennings
sign Levitre from Buffalo to play guard
and then draft DE, CB, CB, RT with our 1, 2, 2, 3
that could make for a dominant defense, considering we're already #2 in AFC in scoring defense (5 pts behind Denver), while still outfitting Tannehill with some lethal weapons.
Anything less than a 2 and maybe a 4 or 5 will cause this state to riot down to Winter Park. They won't trade him for just a 3rd, stop dreaming.
Percy is a good WR, I don't know about all this Top 5, Top 20 etc.
Off the top of my head I can name atleast 25 WR's that I would take over Percy, but the dude is still explosive and is a game changer.
Funny thing is, I would rather sign Reggie Bush and move him to WR than take on Percy!
I still don't see why we don't do that. Everyone says, it's time for Miller and Thigpen and Jonas Gray to step up lets get rid of Bush. Well, why not just slide him over to WR instead?
Wallace, Hartline, Bess, Bush, Matthews.
IMO I think Bush would excell as a WR in the WCO. We just dont utilize him properly now.
