I'm creating a mobile application using jQuery mobile and PhoneGap.
When the application is started, the frontpage will be loaded dynamically. What frontpage will appear depends on certain states, for example whether the app has been configured.
This is why I have a bootstrap.html, which only loads all code and has no body. Some logic then calls
jQuery.mobile.changePage to load the desired frontpage.
The issue is that bootstrap.html, which is empty, will be put in the application's history stack. When the user then presses the back button, he or she will go to this empty bootstrap page. This is undesirable behavior.
Is it possible to exclude this bootstrap file from the history stack with jQuery mobile?

This is unequivocally the standard text and ultimate source of information about the biology and disease of the peripheral nervous system. When the first edition appeared nearly ten years ago, its scholarly excellence was recognized by all. This edition has been considerably expanded and revised.
The distinguished anatomist and neurobiolgoist Richard Bunge has joined in authorship with Drs Peter James Dyck, P. K. Thomas, and Edward H. Lambert. They have chosen their other contributors well. With them, they cover an enormous field in two well-organized and impressively produced volumes.
I cannot resist particular mention of one chapter, 36, which is a textbook itself and a marvel to read. In it, Dyck and his colleagues deal in a general way with the pathological alterations of the peripheral nervous system. It should be forced reading for any physician who even begins to think about asking a patient to have a nerve biopsy.

Posted by ESPN.com's Tim Graham
New York Jets quarterback Brett Favre continues to be the AFC's most popular quarterback in balloting for the Pro Bowl.
Favre ranks third among all NFL players with 525,825 votes in fan balloting, which continues until Dec. 9. Fans account for one-third of the process, with players and coaches also helping decide who goes to Honolulu.
Here are the position-by-position tallies of where AFC East players rank within the conference:
1. Brett Favre, Jets (525,825 votes)
Comment: He has about 152,000 more votes than second-place Jay Cutler.
Running back
1. Ronnie Brown, Dolphins (346,059)
4. Marshawn Lynch, Bills (181,613)
Comment: Tennessee Titans rookie Chris Johnson is behind Brown by about 36,000 votes.
3. Tony Richardson, Jets (95,559)
Comment: Richardson still third, but he's closing the gap a bit on LeRon McClain, about 22,000 votes ahead.
Wide receiver
4. Randy Moss, Patriots (235,279)
Comment: Moss finally had a Pro Bowl-worthy game with three touchdowns against Miami. He trails first-place Brandon Marshall by 50,000 votes.
Tight end
Comment: No AFC East tight end should be in the top five.
3. Nick Mangold, Jets (126,938)
Comment: Mangold is hopelessly way behind Kevin Mawae and Jeff Saturday.
1. Alan Faneca, Jets (215,134)
5. Logan Mankins (74,936)
Comment: Bills guard Derrick Dockery falls out of the fourth spot, while Mankins deservedly debuts in the top five.
1. Jake Long, Dolphins (137,556)
2. D'Brickashaw Ferguson, Jets (125,602)
3. Matt Light, Patriots (100,824)
Comment: Again, the only AFC East left tackle not in the top five is former Pro Bowler Jason Peters.
Defensive end
Comment: Still no Richard Seymour?
Defensive tackle
4. Kris Jenkins, Jets (105,282)
5. Marcus Stroud, Bills (93,589)
Comment: Stroud slips from third to fifth, while Jenkins rises from fourth to third. Albert Haynesworth has more then twice as many votes as second-place Casey Hampton with 263,064 votes.
Outside linebacker
1. Joey Porter, Dolphins (198,283)
Comment: Chatty sackmaster has about 42,000 more voted than second-place James Harrison.
Inside linebacker
4. Tedy Bruschi, Patriots (60,658)
5. Jerod Mayo, Patriots (52,290)
Comment: Rookie of the Year candidate Mayo debuts on the list and deserves to finish higher than Bruschi. Regardless, Ray Lewis is uncatchable.
Comment: Darrelle Revis is being overlooked because of such big names as Champ Bailey and Cortland Finnegan.
Strong safety
4. Yeremiah Bell, Dolphins (22,977)
5. Donte Whitner, Bills (22,945)
Comment: Bell and Whitner switch positions on the list. Whitner's shoulder injury is keeping him off the field and certainly will affect his votes. Troy Polamalu is in first by a large margin.
Free safety
4. Kerry Rhodes, Jets (46,198)
Comment: Ed Reed is way out in front with more than three times as many votes as Rhodes.
5. Dan Carpenter, Dolphins (50,793)
Comment: Stephen Gostkowski is tied for the NFL lead with 103 points and can't get any Pro Bowl love.
3. Brian Moorman, Bills (44,599)
Comment: Moorman moves up from fourth and is only 22,000 votes behind leader Shane Lechler.
Kick returner
2. Leon Washington, Jets (63,709)
Comment: Washington jumps up from fourth but still is 25,000 votes from Darren Sproles. Bills specialist Roscoe Parrish falls out of fifth.
Special teamer
2. Patrick Cobbs, Dolphins (55,894)
3. Larry Izzo, Patriots (43,462)
Comment: Cobbs and Izzo flip-flop spots. Cobbs is only about 4,000 votes behind Anthony Madison.

THEATER REVIEW: Intrepid's 'Enemy' a thrilling, modern examination of mob rule
In 1882, Henrik Ibsen wrote his play "An Enemy of the People" after the critics and public turned on him over controversial subject matter in his play "Ghosts." Seventy years later, Arthur Miller adapted the play to criticize the "red scare" hysteria whipped up by the government and press. And today, the 130-year-old drama is a frighteningly relevant commentary on the divisive politics and media spin in election-year America.
Intrepid Shakespeare Company opens its 2012 season this month with a fiery, well-cast production led by Matt Scott, in a tour de force performance as Dr. Thomas Stockmann ---- a man who goes from hero to pariah overnight, when his crusading effort to do right threatens the reputation and economy of his town.
The play is set in 1954 in the town of Riverton, Maine, where doctor Stockmann has helped found and promote the city's curative and profitable thermal baths, Clearwater Springs. But spa visitors have been getting sick of late, and Stockmann has secretly had the spa water tested and discovers it's poisoned by toxic runoff from the tanneries upstream.
Pleased with his detective work, and eager to win the respect of his stern and taciturn older brother Peter Stockmann (the town's mayor and Clearwater board member), Dr. Stockmann proposes a costly shutdown and revamp of Clearwater Springs. When he's ordered to stay silent, he takes his case to the town's liberal newspaper. The paper's editorial board are all too eager to use Stockmann as a tool to undermine public confidence in the government, but when a proposed ad boycott threatens the paper's future, they, too, turn on him. By the end, mob hysteria has turned the entire town against Stockmann and his family. Only ship captain Horster ---- notably the one citizen who doesn't follow the paper or local politics ---- can see clearly that right should make might, and not the other way around.
Miller's searing adaptation has lost little of its bite over the years. Virtually any demonized liberal-vs.-conservative subject of the moment could be substituted for Clearwater Springs (global warming, Obamacare, the Occupy movement) with the same result. Co-directed by Intrepid founders Christy Yael and Sean Cox, the Intrepid production stays firmly in its place and time, but it takes no stretch to see the modern parallels.
As the noble, isolated and slowly crumbling Dr. Stockmann, Matt Scott takes a harrowing journey over the course of the two-hour, 10 minute play. His painful fall from grace is so honest and physically draining, it's hard to image how he can sustain that energy each night of the run. He leads an excellent ensemble of actors through a production that gradually ramps up to a thrilling second act.
Eric Poppick is icy and detached as Dr. Stockman's disapproving brother, the corrupt mayor Peter Stockmann. A low-key Brenda Dodge is note-perfect as Catherine Stockmann, the doctor's stoic, devoted wife. Antonio TJ Johnson shows all shades of gray as Catherine's seemingly jovial foster father Morten Kiil, a tannery owner who delights in, and then capitalizes on, the possibility of a town scandal and spa shutdown.
The always reliable Danny Campbell is subtle and amusing as newspaper publisher Anderson, whose motto is "the highest civic virtue is moderation." Brian Mackey is a study in cowardice as newspaper editor Hovstad (though his trenchcoat, fedora and horn-rim glasses make him look like a '50s Clark Kent). And as junior editor Billing, Robert Biter is a calculating chameleon who shifts his politics with the favoring winds.
Erin Peterson's the epitome of youthful idealism as the Stockmanns' daughter, Polly, and Aiden Hayek is a natural as their innocent pre-teen son, Morten. Co-director Sean Cox completes the cast in an understated performance as the kind and clear-thinking Capt. Horster.
"Enemy" is the first show Intrepid has staged in its new home, the Clayton E. Liggett Theatre at San Dieguito Academy. It's a beautiful, large, state-of-the-art space with great staging flexibility. More than 30 of the school's students have interned on the handsome production, so it's a win-win for Intrepid, the school and the community. I recommend bringing a light jacket, though, as the new air-conditioning system worked a bit too well for my taste on opening night.
Brian Redfern's New England house interior set design transforms easily between scenes, and Christopher Renda's lighting hauntingly reflects the starkness of the cruelty and revelations in the story. Beth Merriman's costumes are period precise.
I particularly liked Adam Brick's thoughtful sound design, which featured ambient crowd noise, old blues songs and vintage radio commercials from the 1950s, like the eye-opener recommending Camel cigarettes (the brand "more doctors smoke"). Brick also opens the second act with an excerpt of Edward R. Murrow's famous and stirring 1954 "See It Now" telecast about the McCarthy hearings, when he famously admonished viewers to think for themselves and not blindly follow the crowd.
"We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason if we dig deep in our history and remember we are not descended from fearful men," Murrow said. "The actions of the junior senator from Wisconsin have caused alarm and dismay ... Whose fault is that? Not really his; he didn't create this situation of fear; he merely exploited it, and rather successfully. Cassius was right, 'The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.' "

After an exhausting Season spent at the mercy of the whispering Ton, Bath's first annual music festival offers Charity the perfect escape: freedom to indulge her true passion and play the pianoforte to her heart's content. That is, until their insufferably rude, though undeniably handsome, neighbour tells her to keep the "infernal racket" to a minimum. Hugh Danby, Baron Cadgwith, is in Bath to heal hidden wounds, both mental and physical. He may think he's finally put an end to the noise next door, but he has no idea what he's begun. The more he discovers about Charity, the more he finds her bothersome, vexing, and ...inexplicably enchanting. Before long, Hugh suspects that even if his body heals, it's his heart that might end up broken.

What is no-fault auto insurance?
The Bankrate.com financial term of the day is: "no-fault auto insurance."
In states with no-fault auto insurance, your insurance compensates you when you're injured in a crash, regardless of whether it was you or another driver who was responsible for the accident. Typically, these state laws also limit your ability to sue the other driver or that person's insurance company. The trade group Insurance Information Institute says a dozen states and Puerto Rico have no-fault insurance laws.
With no-fault auto insurance, your insurance company will cover you if you're hurt in an accident, even if it was the other guy's fault. But it may also be tricky to sue him if your policy doesn't completely cover your medical bills.
To shop for insurance to fit your needs, visit the Insurance section at Bankrate.com.

Binaural Auralization and Perceptual Veridicality
Early reflection patterns calculated from a room design program were filtered with measured HRTFs within a hypothetical auralization system. With reference to a particular set of room/listener/sound source configurations, the system is shown to produce both perceptible and imperceptible results. The results of this exploratory analysis are illuminating for future design considerations of HRTF-based auralization systems.

Former Florida State quarterback Christian Ponder isn't the only ACC player who is training at IMG Academies in Bradenton, Fla. Former Boston College linebacker Mark Herzlich is also there, working harder than ever to try to continue his career in the NFL.
In Part I of this series, you'll see how golf has been an important outlet for Herzlich during his battle with Ewing's Sarcoma Cancer, and during his training for the NFL. In Part II, you get a good glimpse into just how seriously Herzlich is taking his training both on and off the field. Best of luck to @MarkHerzlich, @cponder7 and the other ACC players still hoping for their shot.
You haven't seen the last of Ponder and Herzlich, though.
Their younger brothers are on their way up, too.

You've just converted over to a salt water pool and discovered that your resulting salt level is too high. You were targeting for 3500 ppm and ended up with over 4000 ppm. How could this happen? The most common answer is you overestimated the size of your pool. Instead of having 13,000 gallons you have 10,000. Now you have too much salt in your water. How many pounds of salt are you over and how do you get that out of the pool water?
The only way to reduce the salt level in your pool is to dilute it. And if your pool is full that means you are going to have to drain your pool down to a level that you can add fresh water to. You cannot wait for the water to evaporate. That does nothing to reduce the salt level. In fact, when the water evaporates, the salt still remains in the pool and your salt level actually goes up. So the question now is, "How much do you have to drain to make room for fresh water?".
Salt water generators operate between values that range from 3000 ppm to 4000 ppm. We are assuming that you have a salt water generator that operates at 3500 and so you were adding salt to reach a salt level of 3500 ppm.
When you measured your salt level using salt test strip you got a reading of just above 6.5 which equates to 4000 ppm. So you're over by 500 ppm. What's that mean in real numbers and how do you get it out of your pool.
To help visualize this we will convert ppm to bags of salt. On the back of the salt bag it states that 1 40# bag of salt will raise the salt level by 480 ppm for a 10,000 gallon pool. So if your pool's salt level is 4000, you have just over 8 bags of salt in your pool (4000/480). To reach 3500 ppm in a 10,000 gallon pool you should have the equivalent of just over 7 bags (3500/480).
You have about 8 bags of salt in your pool . You want to extract about 1 bag of salt. To do that you have to you have to drain about 1/8 of your pool water.
When you replace that 1/8 of pool water with fresh water, you'll end up with 7 bags of salt or approximately 3500 ppm.
So you must dump 1/8 of the pool's water. How many inches of water is that? First determine the average depth of your pool. If the shallow end is 3' and the deep end is 6', your average depth is 3' + 6' or 9 ' divided by 2 = 4.5'. This is equal to 54". To determine the number of inches to drain from your pool to dump 1/8 of your pool water, divide the average depth of your pool in inches by 8 (54 / 8 = 6.75 or approximately 7"). Bottomline - to reduce your salt water level from 4000 to 3500, you must drain out 7" of salt water and replace it with 7" of fresh water. The basic formulas you need to get to this number are restated below. They will work for any pool size.
A: % OF SALT OVER TARGET PPM = (measured ppm - target ppm) / measured ppm. In our example (4000 - 3500)/ 4000 or 500 / 4000 = 12.5% which is the same as 1/8 discussed above. Note: It is not necessary to convert ppm to bags of salt as done above. That was only done to help visualize the problem. Also note that this formula works for most size pool. We only have to consider the depth , not the width or length.
B: AVERAGE DEPTH OF POOL: (Shallow End + Deep End)/2 x 12. In our example, (3' + 6')/2 x 12" = 54".
C: NUMBER OF INCHES TO DRAIN: B times A. In our example, 54" x 12.5% = 6.75" (approximately 7")

AngieW - Yes, most Salt Chlorine Generators shut off when the salt level is too high. Higher salt levels cause the SCGs to work harder, using higher amperage and overheating.

We had a Salt System put in (AutoPilot Digital Nano) two months ago and have had nothing but issues. I'm pretty sure our cell isn't working. I get 0 for chlorine most of the time. We just came home from vacation and there was alge on the bottom of the pool, and I have a pool service! I have started taking my water to the pool store for testing and my salt was over 5000 I drained about 7 inches and got it down to 4400. I'm draining again trying to get it to 3400. My pool store says that salt systems won't make chlorine if your salt is too high. Is this true? Once I get it to 3400 I'm going to see if I get good chlorine reads through the week.
Posted: 6/21/2016 12:06:56 PM
Robyn z - If you have a "Waste" setting on your filter's multiport valve, you could use that. The water goes from the pump directly out the Waste port. If you use "Backwash" for a period of time, you will be dumping some of your sand with the water.
Posted: 6/20/2016 1:06:52 PM
User: Robyn z
Can you drain the pool through the backwash setting on the pump? Or should you use the regular drain??
Posted: 6/17/2016 4:04:49 PM
Debbie - I would definitely run the pool pump to mix the fresh water with the existing water. I'd wait to turn on the chlorinator till after the water is mixed.
Posted: 6/15/2016 7:26:10 PM
User: Debbie
After you have drained the pool, should the pool and chlorinator be running while you add the fresh water during this process?

lahunter - High levels of salt like 7900 aren't good for the SCG or the pool system in general. The SCG uses higher amps to convert the high salt content to chlorine causing the unit to overheat and deteriorate faster. You should dump 1/2 of your pool water and refill it with fresh to get the salt level down to just under 4000 ppm. As a rule of thumb, each inch of water drained will reduce the salt level 100ppm. Your desired chlorine output should be set at the level you had before you increased the salt level.

User: lahunter
Our salt water generator was showing salt extremely low at 1900.we added way too much salt and it is now reading 7900. Will this high salt level damage any of the pool equipment? Also, were should dial the salt generator setting percent level control?Thanks, Richard
Posted: 6/2/2016 3:39:34 PM
john - If your SCG is not generating chlorine, the fact that the salt is not being converted to chlorine would not increase your salt level. 3500 ppm is close to the upper limit on the acceptable salt level for most SCGs. If your SCG is sensing 4000, it may have shut down. Try replacing 3 " of your pool water with fresh water to get the salt level down. Also, make sure your cell is clean. That can cause inaccurate readings. I would guess the "45% chlorinator" display would be the level of chlorination that you set your SCG to.

Hello - I recently saw a spike in the salt levels in my pool. We have not added salt to it at all and the level is normal (automatic leveler). The display was reading as high as 4000 but the pool store tested it at 3500. All of my other levels were fine - except that there was 0 chlorine. My question is, if the salt cell stopped working, and the chloride is not being converted to chlorine, would that show an increase in my salt levels? OR because my salt levels are so high, did the salt cell shut down? The screen also reads 45% chlorinator - which I have no idea what that means. Any suggestions?
Posted: 12/22/2015 9:09:31 AM
GeneL - Good question. I have been told by several SCG manufacturers that the sodium and chloride do recombine back to salt; that the only way your pool's salt level is reduced is by adding fresh water due to draining and splashing. Ask that question again in a year and see if the answer is the same.
Posted: 12/17/2015 6:58:34 PM
User: GeneL
If the salt cell breaks down the salt into it elements releasing separated chlorine and sodium into the pool water, over time, does this chemical reaction reduce salt levels? Or does the sodium and the chloride eventually re-combine? Can you tell that I flunked chemistry?
Posted: 12/7/2015 9:20:32 AM
GeneL - You are correct. Adding fresh water to bring your pool up the original water level will bring your salt level back down to its original ppm before evaporation.
Posted: 12/4/2015 2:52:38 PM
OK, thanks. And because I have a fresh water auto-fill, evaporation will be replaced with fresh water and is not going to change the salt level.
Posted: 12/4/2015 10:42:04 AM
GeneL - No. Salt level does not increase just by a rise in pool temperature unless you consider evaporation. When pool temperature rises you will have more water evaporate which will increase the salt concentration in ppm but not to a fixed formula like you asked about.
Posted: 12/3/2015 7:09:02 PM
Is it true: for every one degree F rise in pool temperature above 77F, salt level will increase by 100ppm? e.g.: 77F, salt reads 3100ppm; 78F, salt reads 3200ppm, etc..Thanks.

Jklon - The diagnostics button procedure is associated with a Goldline Aqua Rite system. For an Aqua Logic PS4 system see "Cell Type" on page #14 of the Goldline AQL-PS4 Operation Manual. You select T-CELL-5 or T-CELL-15 (default) depending on which cell you have installed.

I have a GOLDLINE controls - Aqua Logic AQ-LOGIC-PS-4 controls on my salt chlorinator. The diagnostics are menu driven and there isn't a diagnostics button. I'm looking through the manual and I am not finding any way to see the cell size.
Posted: 7/17/2015 9:32:35 PM
Jklon - The stores usually have more accurate salt level measurements. Is there a local pool store that would give you a second store measurement? Also you have the largest cell size for a pool that is medium size. If you kept your pool chemicals balanced, your cell should have lasted longer than 3 years. Check to make sure that the cell size recorded in your control units matches your actual cell size. Push your diagnostic button 8 times to see the cell size. If you have a GLX-CELL-15-W, the display should read t-15. If not your system's salt calculations as displayed could be off.

I have a GLX-CELL-15-W on a Hayward/Goldline Aquarite system. My pool is 15,800 gallons by the pool guy's calculations. I'm new to the house/pool but I discovered the cell is around 3 years old. My pool service guy cleaned the cell. He said it needed it. But my aquarite system before and after the cell cleaning is reading 2500ppm for salt and giving me a low salt indicator. But my pool service guy said I'm at 3900ppm. I went to a hardware store and got an indepent reading of 2900ppm who's right???? Is my cell bad? Do I lower the salt level or raise the salt level? Do I need to replace the cell (I already ordered one. Oh, by the way, my pool stays open year round.

Tam - These are rough numbers since I don't know what your actual salt level is. Your 16' pool with a 48" depth has about 6,000 gallons in it. Initially, when you were first adding salt to your pool to get it to a salt level of 3500 ppm (typical), you would have added 180# of salt (4 1/2 bags at 40# each). So at no time should you have more than 4 1/2 bags of salt in your pool. When you added 3 bags, I will assume you lost only 1/2 bag with the rain so you are ~2 1/2 bags over. Your pool should have 4 1/2 bags. It has 7 bags (assuming 1/2 bag lost). To get rid of 2 1/2 bags of salt you will have to dump 1/3 of your pool water (2.5 / 7) and fill with fresh.

I have a 16 inch round pool. We added 120 lbs of salt and after rain our pool is filled to top and high salt content is blinking! How much water do I need to remove?
Posted: 6/14/2015 5:49:12 PM
Don - At 4800 ppm you are about 30% over the target salt level of 3400. To get down to 3400 you will have to replace 30% of your pool water with fresh water. If your pool has an average depth of 5.5' or 66", you will have to drain and refill about 20" of water [66'x30%] to get your salt level down to 3400 ppm.

I have added to much salt for spring opening because I relied on reading on generator reading (like I had done for 12 years)but my pool store tested for 4800 and I need 3400 for Aqua Rite. 35000 gallon pool how much water will I have to draw down to get to correct level. I added 6 more bags than did last year, 4 bags more than year before.

Jaime - We usually recommend buying a SCG one size larger than your pool size requirement. However, your IC40 unit is way higher than that. It's sized for a 40,000 gallon pool. Even if you ran the unit at 20%, you would be producing chlorine for a 8,000 gallon pool. You could run it at 20% and turn the unit off every other day to get the average chlorine generated down to what is required for a 4000 gallon pool. Or you could buy a IC15 for a 15,000 gallon pool and run it at 20% with an occasional bump to 40% as required.

We drained the pool and started fresh. The salt levels have been good so far. Now we are having issues with the Chlorine being too high. Our new pool service company said that our Salt generator is too big for our pool size. We have the IC40 and our pool is 3,800 gallons (very small). The pool service company shut the salt generator off about a month ago and the Chlorine levels are still high. Do you think we should have a smaller size salt generator like the IC15 or IC20?

Jaime - For a 3865 gallon pool you will need 112 lbs of salt to get your pool up to 3500 ppm.
Posted: 4/10/2015 5:23:08 PM
Thank you for your response. How much salt would you recommend adding to the pool now that we have drained it and added fresh water? The pool has approximately 3,865 gallons.
Posted: 4/8/2015 11:06:43 AM
Jaime - I haven't heard anything about the acid fix either. Our only caution is to wait 10-14 days on a new plaster pool before adding salt to allow the plaster to cure. But you are way past that point. We usually recommend draining a small pool and starting over when the salt level is too high.
Posted: 4/6/2015 5:31:21 PM
We had a custom pool built in Sept 2014. It's 7 ft by 16 ft and approximately 3890 gallons. We just found out our salt level are excessively high at 6400 and the calcium hardness is 1000. We are getting different recommendations on how to resolve the issues. The builder of our pool recommends we have the plaster company come out and put acid the pool with some machine and let it sit for 10-12 days and then drain the pool and refill it. A pool cleaning company came out and told us that he wouldn't recommend the acid. He said that if we drain the pool and refill that he can maintain the salt levels. Thoughts??
Posted: 12/30/2014 3:16:27 PM
High Salt Reading - Adding acid will not change your salt level. Heavy evaporation would but in this time of the year we tend to get rain which dilutes the pool water and lowers your salt level. Check the connections to your SCG control box to make sure they are tight. Then call the manufacturer. You may have to re-calibrate your system.
Posted: 12/29/2014 7:21:12 AM
My salt water pool was built and filled in early September. I have been checking the chemistry on the pool every couple of days and add acid when the ph level is too high. No salt has been added to the pool since it was started up. Now my system says that the salt level is too high (4.1). How does the salt level rise without adding salt? Thanks
Posted: 8/4/2014 8:56:06 PM
Make sure you are also keeping an eye on the converter. If it's turning white you need to pull it out and clean it as well as the copper pieces. this will help give you a more accurate reading.
Posted: 7/15/2014 10:32:59 AM
High salt level - The only way to reduce your pool's salt level is to drain water from the pool and add fresh water like you did. Not sure why you got high salt readings after dumping half your pool's water. That should have dropped the salt level to half of what it was. Either your salt level was way off - like 8000 ppm or your salt readings are off. I would take a sample of your pool water to your local pool store and have them test it. As to the extra bag of salt - you are probably going to have to dump more water and add fresh again.
Posted: 7/14/2014 6:21:20 PM
I have drained half of my pool and added fresh water still says high salt I bought 40# pounds and my husband put it in and it didn't need salt but he thought because I bought it needed it please help get salt level down
Posted: 6/16/2014 9:18:32 AM
briel - While alkalinity can affect the pH level, the two are not the same and are adjusted by two totally different chemicals.See our guide on " How To Maintain A Swimming Pool Part 1 (Chemicals)" On your salt level, you can have high salt levels without generating chlorine. That's all in your SCG setting. Try turning your SCG off instead of 20% until your chlorine level is down. Have your pool company measure your salt level. If it is way too high, you will have to dump a lot of your pool water and replace it with fresh. Re-read this guide. You may have to dump 1/8 of your water or more if your salt level is really high.

I have a 25,000 gallon saltwater pool at the house I just moved into last summer. The pool was already "up and running" last year when I moved in, so I didn't have to mess with starting it up correctly. Therefore, I am still learning how to start and maintain everything correctly. (I kind of know what I'm doing, and I research a lot).First of all, the TA was WAY too high, and the PH was 8.0. I used less muratic acid than recommended, but the TA is still almost double what it should be, and PH is now at 7.2. How can I lower the TA without lowering PH? I've read that sodium bicarbonate raises both. What about sodium carbonate/soda ash though? -If I use this, will it also raise the TA? What is sodium tetra borate then? Second, the light on the salt-water cell has been showing "high salt" for several weeks. Also, the chlorine is at 16ppm. (I took some bad advice from the previous pool store that I was using and put in way too much chlorine). Anyway, no one has used the pool yet this season. I realize that bathers would help lower chlorine levels, but I just simply do not have the time right now, and I don't want the high chlorine level to damage anything. -How does the salt affect chlorine then (or vice-versa)? I have the cell set to 20% output, and I haven't shocked it in over 2 weeks due to the high chlorine level. I have backwashed (for almost 5 minutes each time) 3 times in the last 2 weeks, and then added new water. I thought this might help, but the chlorine hardly dropped.Any advice would be appreciated. If you are not certain that the information or advice you are providing is accurate, please leave it to the experts. :) (I've already spent a lot of money).THANK YOU!!

Mariel - Salt concentration can go up with evaporation, but I am guessing that you are refilling you pool with fresh water so that is probably not the problem. You PC board may be going bad. I would suggest calling Goldline at this number, 888-921-POOL. Their tech staff would have an accurate answer to your problem.

DB Micah Abernathy of Norcross, GA continues to speak with USC assistant coach G.A. Mangus and said he remains interested in the Gamecocks. Abernathy has yet to narrow his list but that could change soon. "I think I'm getting closer to narrowing my list and concentrating on the schools I'm interested in," he said. "I would like to get it down to around eight schools."
One of those schools could be USC. Abernathy has plans to attend a game at Williams-Brice this upcoming season though those plans are not concrete. "I'd like to get up there but it will depend on my schedule and whether or not I can fit it n," Abernathy said. "I do want to go if I can."
Whether or not that trip would be an official or unofficial visit is this up in the air. Abernathy said the Gamecocks continue to show interest. He is planning trips to Ohio State, Tennessee and Georgia this summer and would like to attend games at USC, Oregon and Ohio State this fall. He did not name any favorites.

Skip to comments.S. Korea: Woman Says Zoo Elephant Threw Stone at Her
Posted on 09/16/2009 8:58:16 AM PDT by TigerLikesRooster
Woman Says Zoo Elephant Threw Stone at Her
Police yesterday said they are probing whether an elephant at the zoo inside Childrens Grand Park in Seoul threw a stone at a woman.
The Gwangjin Ward Police Station said, A woman surnamed Kim reported to police that she was hit by a stone thrown by an elephant.
Kim was taking a walk in the quiet zoo around 9:30 a.m. Monday. She told The Dong-A Ilbo, The elephant (Taesani) was picking up a stone with its trunk. I was really impressed that it really used its trunk to hold something. And I then moved to the lions den.
When she went to see lions, she said she was hit by a stone the size of a bowl. When she tried to find who threw it, she said she saw nobody nearby.
I was hit on the left side of my head. I could see only the enclosure of the elephant on the left side. I shouted since it hurt so much, the elephant rolled up its trunk, and stared at me.
After Kim reported the incident, police began an investigation Monday. They checked security camera footage taken nearby the enclosure of the elephant, but the place where Kim said she was hit by the stone was out of the range of cameras.
A police source said, Though Ms. Kim believes the elephant threw a stone at her, its hard to conclude that the elephant attacked her since there are neither witnesses nor evidence. Well investigate whether the park is responsible.
The zoo, however, ruled out the possibility that the elephant threw the stone. Given that the fences are located just three meters away from the enclosure, however, it is possible that the elephant did it.
Born in 1974, Taesani has been a popular attraction since 1975 when it was moved to the zoo.
A palestinian elephant?
Maybe the woman hurt the animal's feelings? Hah!
Has the elephant "lawyered up" yet?
Amd somewhere in America, law students are salivating at the prospect of building a lucrative career around suing the pads, paws and claws off of members of the Animal Kingdom.
Does anyone offer Anger Management Classes for pachyderms?
I hear incidents of anti-elephant hate speech are WAY up world-wide this year. Something to do with some election in the U.S. last fall.
If Cass Sunstein gets his way, that could happen.
Beware elephants bearing stones.
I guess I would stay away from the elephant. Sounds good to me.
The elephant had better be a liberal. LOL.
Why would they do that? I saw an elephant at the zoo here in Oklahoma spray mud from it's trunk onto a mom and her kid. It looked like it had a smirk on it's face after it did it.
That was way more fun than stupid school!
This is why elephants shouldn't live in glass houses.
I went to a carnival probably 40 years ago and watched as an elephant blew its trunk at a young man who was harassing it. Poor kid was close enough to get a load of elephant mucous on himself.
This reminds me of a skit from the Carol Burnett Show. A rouge elephant went on a crime spree and they hung him.
Wow! What is that?
I suspect a Google image search for "hung elephants" should be performed only with safe search turned on.
She's lucky it wasn't feces.
Suposedly, that elephant went on a rampage and killed one or more people. It was a circus elephant and was probably spooked by the crowd. Anyway, a trial was held and the judge sentenced the poor guy to be hung. And it was. It's a true story. This happened in either the late 1800's or early 1900's. Weird , isn't it?
Strange you would use that phrase. That's exactly what I used to find the image.
It sure is! Wikipedia says the elephant's name was Mary and it was hung in 1916 in Tennessee.
A woman surnamed Kim...in Korea? What's the chances of that?
Elephants ARE animals, after all, and mentally - from a human perspective - quite juvenile and behave much more on primal instinct, and yet do have "emotions" - responses driven by pain, pleasure, rememberences of what is painful or pleasurable and yes, even anger.
As to the elephant in question, in the KBS and MBC news footage of the story (Korean national news networks), the zoo's enclosure is horrible and very small for an animal the size of an elephant. In addition, elephants are very social animals and this one is by itself. Even the close-ups of its skin look so bad that maybe some elephant rescue charity will be sent some videos about it and try to help it out.
I am sure the elephant does not likely distinguish that much between any of the humans it has contact with or sees. To an elephant they are all part of the same group that has it locked up. So, if the elephant was "angry" and decided to pitch a rock (which the more extensive footage shows it doing) in the direction of the people observing it, the woman who was struck should not take it personally - any general area of people standing nearby could have been it's "target".
The rocks themselves seem strangely (very many of them and broken into many sizes) too prominent a feature inside the enclosure, in as much as the natural habitat for elephants are plains with patches of shrubs and trees and not particularly rocky terrain at all. The handlers must have all along viewed the rock piles they gave the elephant as cheap toys in the first place.
Most I've seen are a gray color.
Is my dyslexia showing? And I've never heard of the color gary. ;-)

Big Cat Rescue Day Tour
Big Cat Rescue Day Tour information and booking
Tour description provided by Viator
Looking for something more exciting and adventurous than sitting by the pool all day? Get up close and personal with some of the world's fiercest felines at Tampa's Big Cat Rescue, the world's largest accredited big cat rescue sanctuary. Big Cat Rescue is a nonprofit educational sanctuary devoted to rescuing and providing a permanent home for exotic (i.e. wild, not domestic) cats who have been abused, abandoned, bred to be pets, retired from performing acts, or saved from being slaughtered for fur coats.
The sanctuary is home to more than 100 big cat residents (over 14 different species), giving it the most diverse population of exotic cats in the world. Current residents include familiar species such as lions, tigers, bobcats, leopards, cougars, bobcats, and lynx, as well as more obscure ones such as ocelots, servals, caracals.
Every tour is different than the one before because of the vast number of big cats and all of the things they find to do to amuse themselves. The volunteers spend a lot of time creating enrichment for the cats so that they have something new to play with and you get to watch as they check out a new scent toy or frolic around chasing ice balls. Look up into the trees and see cats sleeping or peek into underground dens and notice glowing eyes peeking back at you.Your guide will tell you about each species in the wild and the threats and challenges they face for survival. Most of the cats rescued were formerly pets because of the poor laws and lack of information available that would prevent people from making such a big mistake. Find out why it never works out for the person or the cat when you see for yourself that they all spray. Your guide will tell you when you are in a spray zone and when to run! Children under 10 are restricted from all tours except for the special kids tour, offered on Saturdays.Kids TourEnjoy a tour specifically geared towards the "under 10's". Get an up-close look at the workings of Big Cat Rescue, and learn about the exotic cats and the other animals that reside here. On this 1-hour wild cat feeding tour, watch big cat keepers feed tigers, leopards, cougars and other feline friends that have been saved from abuse and abandonment — everything from a 30-pound bobcat to a 350-pound tiger. The guide will share the animals' tales of hardship and triumph, and talk about where they came from, what they eat and how they hunt in the wild. Your guide will know all the fun facts that you will want to share with your friends. Strollers are allowed, but the terrain is dirt. There are barricades around all of the enclosures to keep little ones out of harm's way, but parents must keep their children under control. This tour is geared toward the children to keep them engaged and to feel a part of the tour.
What's included
- 90 minute tour of big cat rescue (if option selected)
- 60 minute kids tour (if option selected)
What isn't included
- Gratuities (optional)
- Food and drink
