Many Bay Shore residents vexed by toxic plume
Tom Stringer had been alarmed since the spring, when brown oily spots began appearing on his basement floor.
Posted: October 6, 2010

Bay Shore resident Tom Stringer had complained to the DEC and National Grid about strange black spots in his basement. His home is directly on a mile-long plume of coal-tar toxins. He said workers in "hazardous material" vests and began digging wells around his property without notice. (Sept. 1, 2010) Stringer was at his Manhattan office on Sept. 7 when the call came from his Bay Shore home. "Something has changed," he recalled his wife, Daniele, saying. "They're wearing 'emergency spill response' vests."
Stringer had been alarmed since the spring, when brown oily spots began appearing on his basement floor. The Stringers, who moved to the house on Lanier Lane in 2003, have two small children. They and dozens of their neighbors live in the path of one of the largest toxic plumes on Long Island, one that's been under intense cleanup since 2006 after decades of lying untreated. Stringer said his persistence this summer led National Grid, which owns the property where the plume originated, to dig small holes - the company called them boreholes - to monitor groundwater around his home.
But then, his wife reported, crews started sealing the holes with grout. When Stringer e-mailed a state environmental official to ask what was going on, the response was just routine work. But the workers removed the vests, which had alarmed the neighbors. "It's like 'The X-Files,' " said Stringer, who has been trying to sell the home.
For the Stringers and other families atop and around a mile-long stretch from Union Boulevard to Lawrence Creek, fear about what lies beneath is the new normal. Many in the well-kept homes along Lanier Lane and Community Road, hopeful the plume will disperse, prefer not to talk about it. But an undercurrent of worry runs along these suburban streets, fueled by reports that another home or business has been bought by National Grid, that some neighbors can't sell their homes, and that dozens are filing tax grievances with Islip Town to challenge their assessments. Several homeowners say they are satisfied with cleanup efforts, but also worried about their homes' value.
National Grid inherited the site, where a manufactured gas plant (MGP) operated, and dozens of others around the state when it bought KeySpan in 2007. The site, once run by Long Island Lighting Co., produced vaporous gas for heating and cooking, mostly, in the days before natural gas, from the late 1800s to 1973.
Waste from the coal and oil process was routinely dumped on site and has seeped more than 70 feet underground. Removing the top 25 feet of contaminants has been the focus of recent cleanup efforts.
Possible health hazards
Health hazards tied to former MGP sites generally relate to direct contact with the oily coal tar in soil, via contamination of groundwater and in air vapor. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are most commonly associated with the sites and are believed to cause cancer in humans.
State and local health officials and National Grid have said there is no evidence the Bay Shore site constitutes a current health hazard.
However, one advocate said dangers lurk. "It's simply wrong for the public to be told that there are not health hazards," said Adrienne Esposito, executive director of Citizens Campaign for the Environment. "In general, health threats from coal tar plumes include migration of VOCs [volatile organic compounds] into homes, businesses and other buildings, contamination of drinking water wells and the discharge of plumes into marine waterways."
In a statement, National Grid described its progress at the site as "substantial." More than 100,000 tons of contaminated soil have been removed to date, containment walls have been installed, and water treatment systems are in place and have shown "impressive performance," the company said. More cleanup work needs to be done near the original site, the company said, which will take another two years. Monitoring and treatment will continue "beyond that time," the company said. Meanwhile, signs of the cleanup are everywhere: there's a large, unmarked treatment "campus" on Union Boulevard with ground-level vents; streets and lawns are pocked with CD-size manhole covers, marking test wells.
At least three dozen homeowners have filed tax grievances with Islip Town seeking reductions in their assessments because of value lost to the plume, their lawyer said.
"We have retained a hydrogeologist who formerly worked at Love Canal, who has a presentation which will justify reductions in tax assessments," said the attorney, Irving Like. He was referring to the toxic waste disposal site found below a Niagara Falls neighborhood in the 1970s.
National Grid said it was "not aware of anything that suggests that property values have diminished in Bay Shore" due to the plume, adding, "The Bay Shore community, like all of Long Island, has been greatly impacted by the current recession."
Meanwhile, National Grid continues selectively buying area properties. This summer, Charles Lucchetti sold his Expo Tire on Union Boulevard to National Grid, according to Islip tax records.
National Grid said it has "purchased property where necessary to implement DEC-approved remedial actions."
Some residents say the paperwork National Grid sent to them is little comfort: columns of test results listing toxin levels in wells, air-monitoring reports and maps stating safe or improving conditions. "What they send you, you have to be a scientist to figure out," said Dianna Grancagnolo, also of Lanier Lane. "How do I know what this is?"
She, like the Stringers, has tried to sell her house, but couldn't, even after cutting $100,000 off the price. Like many residents she keeps a bin full of documents about the plume including a complaint to National Grid that its heavy construction to combat the plume cracked her foundation, costing her $37,000 in repairs.
All recent tests show toxin levels decreasing and the plume dissipating, but potential buyers remain reluctant.
"Everyone asked about the plume," Grancagnolo said, and declined to buy. "It happens every single time." She's now considering dropping the price to just enough to pay her remaining loan balance, she said.
Stringer had an agent for the past six months working to sell his house. He has found no buyers. "Our office has made many attempts to bring qualified buyers to your home and we've been faced with the question of the home's proximity to the Bay Shore Manufactured Gas Plume time and again," the agent wrote.
Stringer wants health testing for current and future illnesses, payments for any reduced value of his home and assurances of a full cleanup. "This is a 25-year cleanup, which is wildly unacceptable," he said. "They've really put the entire community at risk."
National Grid said it has tested "numerous homes" around and on the plume when requested and has referred questions about the tests to state health officials.
Many are content
Many residents say they are content with the cleanup's progress and say their worries have been addressed. On Garner Lane, south of Montauk Highway, Mary Louise Cohen stood by the recently paved driveway of her home, across the street from one bought for more than $3 million by National Grid two years ago. That Tudor mansion was identified as the end point of the plume, where toxins ran into Lawrence Creek.
"They've been really good," she said of National Grid workers, who installed test wells in front of her yard.
Other homeowners say they keep in contact with National Grid officials. "I speak to my guy once a week," said Bill Sullivan, who lives next door to a home National Grid bought last year. Sullivan said he hasn't had his house tested for toxic vapor or anything else. "I've never seen a need for them to come in and test the house," Sullivan said.
As for selling his own home, Sullivan, 58, has no immediate plans but said, "When I retire, if this thing isn't cleaned up, I'm going to get pretty noisy."

Most installations involve some form of lightning protection system which is connected to an earth electrode. The function of the earth electrode is to dissipate the lightning strike safely in to the ground. Often the performance of the earth electrode is specified and verified by stating a maximum resistance and ensuring that the installed system meets this. Resistance is easily understood and an easy property to measure. However, it is only indicative of the performance of the earth electrode under lightning conditions. Other parameters have a more signification effect.
The detailed analysis of a system is relatively complicated. However, it is fairly easy to examine some of the concepts and see how resistance fits into the overall picture. The attached image shows a standard short stroke (duration less than 2 ms) as defined by IEC 62305 [1]. Although lightning strokes will be different, the important thing is the fast di/dt on the rise. Actual parameters vary stroke by stroke, but for a typical first stroke the mean peak current I is 33.3 kA with a dt/dt30/90% of 24.3 kA/μs [2][3].
We can use a a typical earth electrode specification of maximum resistance 10 Ω, achieved by using an earth rod to illustrate some concepts. Typically an earth rod will have an inductance of 5x10-6 H/m [4]. If we assume the rod is 5 m long then the induced voltages due to resistance Vr and inductance Vl during the initial rise are:
As can be seen the voltage due to the inductance is twice that due to the resistance. A lightning peak of 65 kA or earth rod of 10 m the difference in voltage drops would be further exaggerated. This clearly illustrates the importance of inductance in the design of any lighting protection earth electrode. The use of resistance itself is not an accurate measure of performance.
This is further complicated by soil ionizations. Due to the nature of lightning surges, soil ionization is likely to take place, reducing the apparent resistance [5]. The effect of this is to reduce resistive voltage drop and further increase the importance of the inductance of the system.
The lighting stroke can also be looked at as a traveling wave. In this instance the current will have to contend with the surge impedance . In this analysis the resistance has no effect and it can be noted that the most efficient earth electrode system is one with a low inductance and high capacitance. An earth rod performs poorly in this regard and a better earth electrode system is a mesh type arrangement.
While the above examples are conceptual, they do illustrate the influence of inductance, capacitance are important on the performance of a lighting protection system and that of resistance is less so. Good lightning earth electrode design should go beyond merely specifying a performance parameter based on resistance.

About the author
Is it allowed as per regulations to connect lightning protection earthing,telecom & ELV earthing and electrical (HV switchgear, MV switchgear, transformer, DG set) in one ring inside the ground?
I think it is allowed. I would bond everything together and thats what the standards say. There are places whose local regulations disagree and if you work in one of these localities, you have choice but to keep separate.
Yes. As per IEC & IS all metallic non current carrying equipments including lightning protection schemes are to be bonded together. However where insulated(isolated) type lightning protection is followed, the lightning scheme components like air termination, down conductor, earth electrodes etc are to be kept isolated from other networks.

Nüfus Müdürlüğü registering my change of residence (Istanbul)
Hi, does anyone have more information about registering my change of address with the government? I have my residency permit, however, I have moved and am aware that I need to notify the Nüfüs Müdürlüğü within 30 days of my move or risk getting fined substantially.
I have been told that I need to get my apartment contract notarized, take that and a photo plus my residency permit and passport to the Nüfüs Müdürlüğü and they will give me a İkametgah which is a proof of where I now live. I can't figure anything out about the Nüfus Müdürlüğü office that I need to go to for Florya/Bakirkoy via their website!
Does anyone have any more information about this ? how complicated is this? how long it takes with the gov't? and, especially where I need to go to find the Nüfus Müdürlüğü??
thanks so much for any help you can offer!

Without any CD, windows would attempt to start but fail before it reached any sort of login screen and restart itself. It seemed to go in a cycle of doing that (which at least had the screen with the Windows logo and little scrolling "loading" bar below it) and then (upon the restart) failing to get that far, telling me that "when trying to update a password, this return status indicates that the value provided as the current password is not correct" and restarting itself again.
I tried using my XP CD to repair the system, it asked which installation of Windows i wanted to repair and i said "1", then, of course, it asked for the administrator password, which i do not have. i left that blank and pressed enter and it said that the password was not valid.
I then tried to repair the installation by choosing (from the first blue-screen that pops up with the XP disc) to install XP, then (as i'd planned) it searched for and found the original installation and asked if i wanted to repair it or continue an installation. I chose to repair, it began to, and eventually got to a window that said
"Please wait while Setup copies files
to the Windows installation folder.
This might take several minutes to complete."
with a bar below. the most progress it made in my multiple attempts at this method was 19% (at the bottom right corner was "driver.cab" (an ironic file name i might add), then a new screen said that there was an error installing "dvdplay.exe". i would give more information on that window, but at this point (just as at other points in earlier attempts of this process (such as at 1%, 4% or 19%)) the computer simply turned completely off. at this point i decided to post this problem.
i also tried once to just re-install XP, and i came to a point where i pondered whether i should install it on a partition with the hope that i might be able to retrieve the product key of the original installation from the new one. then the computer blanked again. should i try this method again?
there are a few other problems i encountered once or twice in all of this, but mostly i'd like to know how to install XP with the CD i have (and beyond that how i could find the key of the original installation) and if the problem with the computer turning off randomely is simply a battery problem (throughout all of this the labtob is plugged into a wall outlet, so (in theory) that should be enough power. is this a battery issue?).
Thank you in advance to all who are willing to help!

Rio de Janeiro: Brazil is ready to end its quest for an elusive Olympic gold medal in Rio de Janeiro next year, said former Selecao great Romario.
The Olympics is the only major international competition that Brazil has never won but Romario backed Dunga's team to go one better than its runner-up finish in the London 2012 final.
"It's a title that Brazil really needs and I personally believe that next year will be our turn," Romario, who is now a Brazilian senator, told Rio2016.com on Thursday, Xinhua reported.
Romario was part of the Brazil team that clinched silver at the 1988 Games in Seoul, where he led the tournament's scoring chart with seven goals.
Brazil has claimed three silver and two bronze medals in Olympic football since 1984.

by Dave Mindeman
The Minnesota House Republican protest bill is wrong in so many ways.
To single out protesters in a public safety context is ridiculous. Personally, I don't condone blocking freeways. It is dangerous and shouldn't happen. But I understand the need to get people to pay attention.
But the real thing is this. Any blocking of the freeway for any reason is already illegal. It already has consequences. Years ago, truckers were protesting increased fees and did convoys that slowed interstate traffic to a crawl. The police charged people. They made arrests. It was difficult to break this up, but nobody said it was NOT a public safety issue.
And, we did not suddenly bring forth legislative bills to specifically ban such a practice.
So why are we doing it here? As well as a few other states?
It is because Black Lives Matter was involved. It is just another discriminatory action by Republican majorities. And that is wrong.
There should be no law that targets suppression of protest - and believe me, that is what is happening here, because the debate on this bill specifically targets protesters with penalties that are unsustainable - and probably would never hold up on appeal.
Rep. Pat Garofalo and Rep. Kathy Lohmer are the main proponents. Here is Garofalo's reasoning....
Garofalo repeatedly said he was concerned about ambulances not being able to reach hospitals, in addition to the risk to both protesters and drivers on the high-speed routes. Garofalo did add, "I would be open to conversation to making sure this is focused on corridors of commerce, freeways and freeway ramps."
We already have laws that give consequences for impeded emergency vehicles and flow of commerce. Protests are only one of many potential possibilities. But when you single out protesters and increase the penalties BECAUSE OF THEIR RECENT ACTIONS, you are treading on free speech grounds.
This is wrong - and the MN House Republicans should be ashamed.

Osprey Underwriting Agency Ltd
Watson Buckle had been providing audit services to global marine insurance underwriting agent Osprey Special Risks Ltd for several years before the opportunity also arose to take on the audit of their holding company and fellow subsidiary Osprey Underwriting Agency Ltd, who are based in the City of London.
Osprey specialises in providing fixed-premium protection and indemnity cover for boat owners and those involved in shipping over shorter distances. It has proved to be very successful in its specialist line of work and is now the longest-established provider of such products, having been operating since 1991.
Partner Chris Padgett said: "The holding company and Osprey Underwriting Agency Ltd were audited by one of the top ten firms, and I had been speaking to the finance director of Osprey Special Risks Ltd, asking if we could do the same work for them down in London. It turned out they were not very happy with the service they were being provided with, and so they said they would be delighted to talk to us.
"They were initially concerned as to whether we had the capabilities and experience to deal with Lloyds insurance regulated markets.
"Not only did we already work with a number of insurance and underwriting companies ourselves, but we were also part of the MGI Worldwide network, and one of our fellow members, Seymour Taylor, was part of the Hampden Group which specialises in the Lloyds insurance market, and we have direct access to their expertise if required.
"Our charges for the same audit and corporation tax work that they were previously having done gave them a saving of over £10,000. They are very happy with the work we've done and believe we have given them a more thorough audit at a much better rate.
"With today's technology, it is far easier to keep in touch wherever you are – of course we did need to visit in person for the audit itself, but even with our travel and accommodation costs included, we were still able to offer the significant saving.
"Their Chief Executive Officer has now stated that he believes there are further opportunities for us down there because London firms tend to charge so much more money, and he will have no hesitation in recommending us to other owner-managed businesses in the insurance industry."
Lev Osman, chief executive officer of Osprey Underwriting Agency Ltd added: "We were pleasantly surprised by the manner and professionalism Watson Buckle exhibited during their inaugural accounting audit of the Agency. Gillian was both thorough and sensitive to the operational environment of our commercial underwriting office and business environment.
"We remain highly impressed with their expertise and quite frankly they have outperformed their predecessors in every way."

Former Prisons Chief, Viapro Exec Acquitted
HOUSTON (AP) _ A federal judge acquitted a former Texas prisons chief and a Canadian businessman accused of running a kickback scheme in the mid-1990s, tossing aside their 2001 conviction.
U.S. District Judge Lynn Hughes wrote that the government's case against former Texas Department of Criminal Justice head James ``Andy″ Collins and Yank Barry, president of Montreal-based Vitapro Foods Inc., was too flimsy.
If the decision to acquit the pair is overturned on appeal, ``the defendants will receive a new trial. Justice requires it,″ Hughes wrote in the opinion released late Thursday.
Nancy Herrera, spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Houston, said prosecutors were considering their options.
Jurors convicted Collins of taking at least $20,000 from VitaPro Foods in exchange for pushing through a five-year, $33.7 million contract to distribute a soy-based granular substance to Texas inmates to cut food costs. Barry was convicted of the same charges _ bribery, money laundering and conspiracy _ for allegedly paying the bribes.
Both men testified they did nothing wrong and said it was a legitimate business deal to save Texas prisons money.
They have been free on bond since the trial, and their sentencing was indefinitely delayed because an error-riddled trial transcript left no accurate record. Hughes' ruling was in response to a three-year-old request for acquittal or a new trial.
``This is well worth waiting for, as you can imagine,″ William White, who represented Collins at trial, said Friday of the acquittal.
Patrick Graham, who Hughes described as ``a convicted con artist and a freelance government agent,″ had testified at trial that Collins and Barry told him about the alleged scheme and solicited his advice. He had earned commissions selling VitaPro to Louisiana prisons. No other witnesses or documents corroborated the claim.
Collins was forced out as executive director in 1995 when Texas prison officials learned that, while still on the state's payroll, he had agreed to run a private prison venture in Louisiana upon his retirement.
The VitaPro scandal broke the next year. Inmates didn't like the soy-based meat substitute. In 1999, the Texas Supreme Court ruled the VitaPro contracts were invalid.

Ok, so I've thought he was the sexy man most likely to become a household name ever since his chiseled features first appeared on the screen in The Count of Monte Cristo. But now, finally, after a string of near misses, the gorgeous Henry Cavill is about to get his moment. He has been cast as the new Superman (a role he narrowly missed a few years ago when it was given to Brandon Routh). The new production is to be directed by Zack Snyder (director of 300 and The Watchmen) and produced by Christopher "Batman" Nolan.
So prepare yourself ladies. Time to take down those Gerard Butler posters. There's is a new burly man in town. You can form an orderly queue behind me.

Ahlmann Machines
Swing loaders, telescopic swing loaders, articulated loaders, front loaders and telescopic front loaders.
Swing Loaders
The Ahlmann swing loaders are the most successful machines in the company's range. The unique aspect of the Ahlmann swing loaders is that it can move the load from the front to the side. The shovel arm can move 90° to the left and right. Most swing loaders lift swung even more than frontally.
Telescopic Swing Loader
In order to place a pallet or dump a bucket of sand just a little bit farther away than usual Ahlmann has developed the Telescopic Swing Loader. Just like all the other Swing Loaders, this Telescopic Swing Loader is also fully equipped with for example: shovel arm suspension, extra hydraulic functions, radial tyres and hydraulic quick change device.
Articulated Loader
The AX articulated loader was specially designed for rental fleets, construction companies and for horticulture and landscaping. The objective was to obtain a compact, high quality machine with a long service life, low maintenance costs, simple operation and a high resale value at a competitive product price. What strikes you first is the monoboom. The machine has high tearing forces with a great lifting capacity: the fast dumping speeds and excellent view from the spacious cab of the attachments were the decisive factors for use of the new boom concept. The modern design and compact rear end ensure an unobstructed rear view.
Front Loaders
Ahlmann prefers machines with a rigid frame. This construction makes the Front Loaders extremely stable, also with the heaviest tilting loads. When operating the machine the centre of gravity remains unchanged. This way, the machines can be used to their full capacity in all circumstances.
Telescopic Front Loaders
Ahlmann expands its range of telescopic front loaders with a series of four-wheel steered telescopic loaders. The AT 900 comes with bucket volumes of 0.9-1.5 m³. Its larger sibling, the AT 1050, can be equipped with buckets ranging between 1.0 en 1.6 m³. The telescopic front loaders were designed for stable, versatile operation in the most confined environments, featuring an enormous dumping height and an excellent reach.

Given that most people reading this are probably DIY powder coaters doing this in their garage, I will say that a sandblasting cabinet is the best setup. Your media is constantly recycled and the mess is contained inside of your blast cabinet.
Cheap sandblasting cabinets are great for DIY coaters because the internal dimensions pretty closely match the size of a household oven so as long as you don't get to claustrophobic, you don't necessarily need a gigantic blasting cabinet. An exception to this is that while most wheels will fit into the cabinet like the one mentioned above, if you want to turn the wheel over, it has to come out of the cabinet, be flipped around, and go back in. This is the point where you may want to spend the money on a bigger, higher quality blast cabinet or hire out your blasting. Unless you buy a larger cabinet that comes with great lighting, built-in dust collection, and is perfectly air tight out of the box, then you will need to do some modifications to your cabinet to make it more efficient.
Optimizing a Cheap Sand Blasting Cabinet
Caulk the Cabinet's SeamsFirst, the cabinet I mentioned above is about the cheapest floor-standing cabinet available that closely matches the dimensions of a household oven. So of course, it is going to need a little tweaking. The first thing I did after assembly was to caulk all of the seams of the cabinet to make sure no sandblasting dust can escape the cabinet. If there is even a minor leak in the cabinet, you will notice that every surface of the garage will be covered with dust after awhile. I highly recommend Silicone free caulk to seal up all of the inside seams and through bolts in your cabinet. This should be done before you have added any blasting media to the cabinet, otherwise, you must thoroughly clean the cabinet for the caulk to seal correctly.
Upgrade the Sandblasting Gun in the CabinetThis is not 100% necessary but if you want an efficient sandblasting cabinet, a better sandblasting gun can make a world of difference. Skat Blast sandblasting guns are a great upgrade as they are more powerful, faster, and more comfortable than the cheaper guns that come with a cabinet.
There are different versions of the gun and nozzles available for different air compressors:
Air Compressor Output Gun Nozzle
4-9 CFM S-35 Small Small Ceramic
10-15 CFM S-35 Medium Medium Ceramic / Medium Carbide
20-25 CFM C-35-S Large Large Ceramic
25+ CFM High-Volume Gun High-Volume Head
The next step is protecting the window.
Your blast cabinet comes with a tempered glass window for safety reasons. If you do nothing to protect it, the window will slowly be etched by your media bouncing back and hitting the glass. This can happen to the point of not being able to see through the window at all.
Peel-off window films protect the sandblasting cabinet window. These are just like the little plastic sheets you put on the touchscreen of your cell phone. They are meant to be applied to the window and they take the beating instead of the glass. The life you get on them depends on how close you blast to your window and what PSI your blasting at. Blasting should be done as far away from the window as possible and at a 45 degree angle so that the media deflects off to the side of the cabinet instead of right back at it. Once the film becomes etched, just peel it off, clean the glass, and apply a new film.
Another option is going down to Lowes or Home Depot and having a piece of glass cut the same exact dimensions of your window. They charge about $10 for glass that size and they will cut it for free. Then just take that piece of glass and place it on the inside of the tempered glass that came in your cabinet. The cut piece of glass will last longer than the sticky film sheets mentioned above but you do have to disassemble your window shroud every time you want to replace the protector glass. Also put a piece of tape around the border of the 2 pieces of glass to seal them together. Otherwise media will manage to get lodged in there and there is no way to get it out without disassembling the whole window frame.
Lighting your Cabinet:
Most media blasting cabinets come with some sort of overhead light. If you are using a bench top blast cabinet or if you would like some extra light, a very cheap light that works well is a fish tank hood light placed on the top portion of the blast cabinet window. It is what I use on my cabinet, and it provides all of the light I need. Because the light is outside the cabinet, it is protected from dust and being blasted. If you use any internal cabinet lighting, the dust can build up on the light until the point that it does nothing. However, in blast cabinet, the more lighting, the better. Puck lights or LED light strips are a great way to add more light. Just keep in mind, that without some kind of protection, they will eventually get pitted and be useless. So either go cheap with the lights or use some kind of glass or plexiglass shielding. Even more important is to protect any of the lights wiring running inside of the cabinet. It wouldn't take long for for the blasting media to wear away at the wire insulation which could turn your entire media blasting cabinet into a shock hazard.
Dust Collection:
Whatever media you use will eventually break down into fine dust, it will float around inside your cabinet reducing visibility to the point that you cannot see a thing. It will also leak out of any openings in the cabinet and completely coat every thing in the room. This is where a Dust Collector comes in to play. These are specialized vacuum systems that you hook up to your cabinet. They suck out the dust that is floating around and filter it out into a dust collector. Media blasting cabinet dust collectors can be a little expensive for most hobbyists, costing more than the cabinet usually, so it is common to build your own.
DIY Dust Collection:
I use an improvised dust collector made from an old vacuum cleaner. A shop-vac would be better and quiter but I had an old vacuum on hand and I like re-purposing things that I have already. If you have neither, go with the shop-vac. I personally believe Rigid Shop-Vacs are superior to all others and make sure, whatever brand you get that it has a 2" hose. There are 2 issues with using a vacuum or a shop vac. The first one is that they are way louder than a specialized blast cabinet dust collector. When I know I will be blasting for long periods of time, I wear ear plugs as its one of those sounds that kind of gets in your head after a while.
The other issue is that the shop vac filters were not designed to catch small blasting particles. Some of the dust particles produced from blasting are smaller than your filter can actually filter so they go into the motor. These particles will quickly ruin the motor. The particles that don't flow right through the filter will quickly clog the filter which leads to cleaning the filter after every half hour of blasting which gets very tedious. So my current method is a pre-filter before the vacuum. It is a water bong type of filter. It uses a 5 gallon shop vac and hoses and tubes left over from previous vacuums. Here is a very crude drawing of how it works:
The idea is that the as the media is sucked through the first hose, it is pointed directly downwards toward the water where it will get trapped, but the air can still pass up to the hose connected to the vacuum. It works surprisingly well and extends my filter cleaning periods from 30 minutes to a week. But now cleaning the filter means scraping out wet sludge out of the bottom of the bucket, filling back up with water and putting back into use.
Quick instructions on what how I made this. I save vacuum parts like the hoses and tubes because I have found several times when they served to be useful.
- 2 vacuum hoses(a vacuum or shop vac should have 1 already)
- 1 tube that fits inside the first hose(I used the extension tool that comes with vacuums, cut to length, pvc pipe would work also.
- 1 something to angle the 2nd tube towards the wall of the bucket(I used another vacuum tool here, the little brush attachment that is for cleaning upholstery, I just cut off all the bristles)
- 5 gallon bucket with tight fitting lid
- caulk
- Cut 2 holes in the lid of a 5 gallon bucket. I just traced the outside diameter of each vacuum hose onto the bucket lid and cut it the holes using a Dremel. If you have hole saws the same size, great, use those.
- Insert hose end into bucket lid, I cut mine out so it would fit pretty tight. I then sealed both sides of the lid with caulk. Do the same with the other hose end.
- Attach 1st hose to a hole in the cabinet. My cabinet already had a hole in it for for this purpose and it also had a block off plate since the cabinet didn't come with a dust collector. I originally cut a hole in the block-off plate and sealed the other end of the hose to the plate. This meant that the bucket lid was permanently attached to the cabinet though so I later changed this to a removable design.
- Wait for caulk to dry so you can handle the lid.
- Insert extension tube into 1st hose and cut it off about 4 inches from the bottom of the bucket.
- Insert angle vacuum attachment onto other hose
- Fill bucket with water just below the tube(if the tube is going directly into the water, it can cause a vacuum so strong that it will crush the bucket)
- Hook up 2nd vacuum hose to vacuum.
- Your blast cabinet will need some type of breather to allow air in, otherwise the negative pressure tends to suck the gloves right off of the cabinet. My cabinet had a 2nd hole in it for whatever reason along with a block off plate. I just removed the plate and taped a Scotchbrite pad to the open port to prevent media from flying out.
- Optional: If you use a shop vac, you can skip this since a shop vac is already pretty compact. A regular vacuum is pretty bulky in my garage. I took all the unused stuff off the vacuum: the handle, the entire bottom section with the wheels and brushes and other random pieces. Now it fits with the bucket underneath my cabinet near the back so it takes up no room.
A much less labor intensive alternative to the "water bong" setup above is a Dust Deputy and it works better as well. These are very commonly used in home shops for dust filtration. They are designed to hookup to a standard shop-vac and catch all of the small dust before it reaches the vacuum. In other words, they are designed for exactly this purpose. This will be much more reliable than the "water bong" and it is also much easier to clean out. The Dust Deputy can be ordered here but you will need your own bucket, modify the lid, and pick up an extra shop vac hose. For a ready to go kit, they offer this.
For conveniences sake, I attached a power strip to the sandblasting cabinet to plug the vacuum and lighting into. With the switch on the power strip, I can turn everything on and off as easily as if it were built in.
With these adjustments and modification, even a cheap cabinet like the one I use can work great. However, if you want a very high quality cabinet set-up out of the box, complete with lighting and a dust collection system, this TP Tools Blast Cabinet cannot be beat. It is literally the best deal I have seen for a complete cabinet of this size with all of the high-end features.
Media Blasting Outside or in a Blast Room
To do blasting outside, you need to protect all of your skin, your eyes, and your lungs. Long sleeves you need a sandblasting hood, and I never blast outside the cabinet without a respirator. Make sure you avoid using sand whether blasting in a cabinet or outside. Blasting with sand is dangerous for your lungs and there are much safer alternatives.
and long pants will be fine to cover up your skin. For your face and eyes,
If you plan on media blasting at more than a hobbyist level, like everyday at work, you may want to look into a supplied air breathing system. With this, there is a small compressor that supplies air that is "safe for human consumption". You place the compressor in an area that can take in clean fresh air. It pumps the air to your mask for you to breathe. This is also the only way to ensure you are protecting your lungs when painting with 2k automotive paints.
Now that you are suited up and ready to blast safely, I recommend setting up your blasting area on a large tarp. This serves as a clean place for your used media to land while your blasting. Once your bucket or pressure pot of media is empty, you can sweep it up and pour it back in to get more use out of it. Just make sure you filter the media. I use a window screen folded over itself a couple times.
If you are in a professional environment, or just have a really big garage, you can setup a dedicated blasting room for large parts. This works out basically the same as blasting outside, except your media is contained in the room.
That sums it up for setting up your media blaster / sand blaster. It is really a great tool to have and once you have one, you will wonder why you didn't have one all your life.

Life, in general, is a minefield. You take one step in the wrong direction and find your legs staring you in the back.
I'm a pro-abortion guy. Not just because I'm a guy but because I truly believe in my heart that grown folks should be able to do to what they want with their bodies. No one should suffer for the rest of their lives because of a one-night stand. We don't give most murderers life sentences but the fact that some of us want to do it to women is ludicrous. America is the land of second chances, ask Donald Trump, Martha Stuart and your next door neighbor. Mistakes happen.
But like I said, life is a minefield. And you never know who to trust.
Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in America. 78% of their clinics are in minority communities. Blacks make up 12% of the population, but 35% of the abortions in America. Are we being targeted? Isn't that genocide? We are the only minority in America that is on the decline in population. If the current trend continues, by 2038 the black vote will be insignificant. Did you know that the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, was a devout racist who created the Negro Project designed to sterilize unknowing black women and others she deemed as undesirables of society? The founder of Planned Parenthood said, "Colored people are like human weeds and are to be exterminated." Is her vision being fulfilled today?
Tough questions. And I am not the only one twisting the abortion/genocide question in their mind.My take is a little different, though. It makes me wonder how important is history?
My favorite poet as a kid was e.e. Cummings. The verbal and visual inventiveness of his work fascinated me. But then as I got older I found his depictions of society's hypocrisy and monotony elitist and self-indulgent. Then one of my teachers claimed that some of his work features racist and anti-Semitic overtones. No matter what the truth is, I never looked at his poetry the same. It's like steak served on a garbage can lid.
So am I aiding my race's destruction by supporting abortions? I really don't think so. It is a woman's right to her life that gives her the right to terminate her pregnancy. There are many legitimate reasons why a rational woman might have an abortion--accidental pregnancy, rape, birth defects, danger to her health. The issue here is the proper role for government. If a pregnant woman acts whoreish, then she should be condemned morally--but not treated as a murderer.
The anti-abortionists' claim to being "pro-life" is a classic Big Lie. You cannot be in favor of life and yet demand the sacrifice of an actual, living individual to a clump of tissue. It is serving women life on a garbage can lid.

Skip to comments.GOP big pushes Giuliani for vice prez (MEGA BARF ALERT)
Posted on 08/28/2011 8:35:50 AM PDT by rabscuttle385
One of New York's best-known Republicans is calling on pres idential hopeful Rick Perry to choose Rudy Giuliani as his running mate for next year's election.
Former state GOP Chairman William Powers, a longtime Giuliani friend and a key player in his first mayoral election in 1993, told The Post that such a move by Perry could deliver key swing states like New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ohio to the Republicans.
"He'd be the best No. 2 anybody in the world could pick," said Powers, who has a longstanding relationship with leading Texas Republicans like Karl Rove, former President George W. Bush's top political adviser.
"A Perry-Giuliani ticket would absolutely defeat the Obama-Biden ticket and would have a big impact in New Jersey, in Pennsylvania, in Ohio, in Rhode Island and Connecticut, all places where Rudy is absolutely admired," Powers said.
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
Uh, no.
Will Rudy wear a dress to the inaugural? Will Hannity shill for him non-stop for the next year? Giuliani, its over. Retire on your millions and STFU and leave governing to real conservatives.
watch carefully folks, that's what this election is about for the pubie party.
karl rove, dana pe-rino, the bush minions and their wa wa d.c. establishment toadies
will push to keep palin, bachmann, perry, west, cain et al
out of the election.
Short of asking Dick Cheney to do another stint as Vice President, Giuliani would be a good choice if you're looking for a kick-ass-and-take-names kind of VP that would give our enemies pause -- just as Cheney did. A good VP can make a difference in a war situation.
"who has a longstanding relationship with leading Texas Republicans like Karl Rove, former President George W. Bush's top political adviser."
Texas RINOs maybe.
GOP doesn't want any filthy conservatives getting in the way.
Agreed Guiliani is not a bad choice he has no fear and kicks butt in speeches and debates. He will be vp so he won't affect social policy which is why he's not liked here but fiscally Rudy is sound.
Horse manure.
Is it just me or is that a picture of Perry shilling for Rudy?
Yeah. Lying for Rudy.
The man is a walking, talking set of talking points.
Did you know Giuliani would pick conservative judges? ROFL...
Must be true. Perry said so.
8 years of those two and the official language of our country will be Spanish.
Guiliani is a non starter. Obama got Bin Laden. Making this election a security issue is meaningless.
Only one we should be looking at for a VP is Rubio.
But he showed great leadership skills and great personal courage on 9/11. While Bush was essentially in hiding (and maybe rightly so) Giuliani was out on the front lines that day.
And Giuliani knows who the real enemy is. When he was DA, he was fierce in his attacks on the mafia. I would assume he'd do the same against radical islam, both at home and abroad. And it's the "home" part that's been ignored thus far.
So Giuliani is not a top favorite of mine. He has many weaknesses. But I will give credit where credit is due.
Giuliani's time is past.
He was an excellent mayor of NYC. He fixed the crime problem, and his left wing tendencies on social questions didn't much matter since NYC couldn't have been further to the left anyway.
He COULD have run for governor last time against Andrew Cuomo, and he might even have beaten him. There, again, not a perfect governor, but far better than Cuomo. But he didn't.
I think that was his last chance. He is now history.
Global warming or "climate change" (AKA: the weather), is nothing more than a fear mongering scam to bilk people out their money.
Why shouldn't RINO Rick want Rudy as his running mate, he endorsed this freak for POTUS.
That depends. In the absence of a major terrorist attack here, perhaps in the style of Beslan, you're probably correct. But if there is a major attack, all bets are off.
Short of any major missteps between now and next summer, I can't imagine anyone else getting the nod.

— As noted late last night here on the website, WWE stated during RAW that Brock Lesnar will answer Triple H's challenge for a match at SummerSlam on next week's RAW. It was not specifically said that Lesnar will be present though.
It should also be noted that a local advertisement that aired in the St. Louis, MO area was promoting an appearance by Brock Lesnar on the 1,000th RAW telecast. The event takes place on July 23rd from the Scottrade Center. The ad claimed Lesnar would appear on the show and asked "what part will be play?".
Other local advertisements that aired during RAW say Lesnar will be appearing on the August 13th edition of RAW. That is the week before WWE's SummerSlam pay-per-view.
As noted, Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar will headline SummerSlam.

Dinner will prove to be the key battleground for supermarket fresh prepared foods and restaurants. Retailers have already lost share for breakfast and lunch, as quick-service restaurants in particular have taken occasions that used to be fulfilled with products purchased in grocery stores. Much of food service growth has come from changing consumer habits: buying coffee instead of making it at home, going to the drive-through window for a breakfast sandwich, and picking up lunch at quick-service or fast-casual restaurants instead of brown-bagging.
Dinner is where fresh prepared foods have the best prospects to become established as a meal staple for consumers. Breakfast is a challenge, and lunch success is largely dependent on location. With a differentiated dinner positioning centered around "better-for-you" and approachable but elevated cuisine, however, there is opportunity to play a much greater role in the takeout market. Casual dining chains have yet to establish a good model for it, most quick-service operators are better suited for lunch occasions, and delivery options remain limited in terms of cuisine—not to mention ill-suited to meet consumer demand for fresh food.
Retailers also have a considerable advantage in that they can offer one-stop shopping for ready meals and other household needs. Retailers can place both at the top of consumers' minds through tactics such as prominent signage throughout the store promoting fresh prepared foods as a convenient dinner solution, monthly calendars listing specials for each day, and menu boards promoting bundled offers.
Retailer investment in fresh prepared foods has created a very real threat to restaurants, which will require better execution to remain competitive, especially at dinner. Retailer offerings have evolved to the point that a growing number of consumers recognize not just convenience and value, but also quality and differentiated cuisine. Retailer advances raise important questions about how the restaurant industry should respond to potential weaknesses. Answers might include measures such as meaningful menu updates (versus "me-toos") and packaging innovation to maximize takeout potential.
Improvements in retailer fresh prepared foods have the potential to change the entire food industry. The positioning around fresh will affect retailers, other food service operators, and food processors alike. The segment now represents either an immediate threat or an opportunity for all and will require changes to overall strategies. As it evolves, each player can choose to be an innovator—with manufacturers and retailers working together to solve the economics and supply challenges of fresh prepared foods—or a fast follower. Those that opt to wait around and see how the market develops will inevitably miss out.
This article is excerpted from a white paper entitled "Fresh Prepared Foods: Cracking the Code for U.S. Retailers."

Kuk Sool Won, Korean National Martial Arts Association, is the end result of one man'sendless martial arts journey that has spanned across five decades.
A 17th generation martial artist, Suh In Hyuk was hand picked by his gradfather to continue on the tradition of the Suh Family martial way. Through drive and dedication, Suh In Hyuk researched the old text of Korean martial arts and also traveled all through Asia to gain understanding and information of various martial art systems and techniques.
In the late 1950's Suh In Hyuk began to organized and structure the many Koreran techniques into one system that he called "Kuk Sool Won". Kuk Sool Won encompasses the core essence of the three major branches of traditional Korean martial arts: Sado Mu Sool (Family/Tribal Martial Way), Bulkyo Mu Sool (Buddhist Martial Way), Koong Joong Mu Sool (Royal Palace Martial Way). Kuk Sool Won is more than just learning how to fight. It is one of the most complete martial art systems available today that offers a way of Life as well as an effective system of combat.
Consisting of approximately 270 categories, Kuk Sool Won contains over 3,600 internal and external techniques. These techniques include striking, kicking, joint locks, and weapons emphasizing speed and fluidity.
Kuk Sool Won also teaches meditation, breathing, acupressure and acupuncture to improve overall health, develop inner energy (ki) and to slow the aging process.
Through all of this Kuk Sool Won stresses humility, discipline, control, loyalty, and respect. When a student looks towards true martial arts as a way of Life, Kuk Sool Won should be seriously considered as it truly represents and reflects the beauty and power of traditional Korean martial arts.

We spent Resurrection Weekend in H-Town (that's Houston for you Yankees and left-coast, hippie tree-huggers). We'd never been down I-45 quite that far, so it was a bit of an exploratory endeavor.
Some highlights:
On Friday, we slept in before leaving for Houston. This developed into a wonderful theme.
The Galleria mall was pretty okay. Entirely too expansive and filled with too many "how-the-heck-do-you-pronounce-that-and-what-on-earth-do-they-sell-there" type stores for my taste, but we weren't there long. Just long enough to get the gist and avoid the coveties.
We "discovered" a restaurant called the Grand Lux Café. After driving around for a while on Friday night, we agreed that we would be adventurous and try out the "sketchy looking place that says it serves steak, seafood, pasta, sandwiches and everything in between even though the sign looks like it's a low-rent Chinese buffet." Uh, book by its cover? Turns out the joint is owned by Cheesecake Factory—which was, ironically, right across the street—and makes some wicked-good food. And the final ironic touch? There's one in Dallas and in LA. Maybe we should have known this.
On Saturday, we slept in.
We did a little shopping on Saturday. Not so much the American Express variety available at the Galleria, but more of the "this shirt's only $10!" at Marshall's variety. Good times.
Jamba Juice is good for the soul.
Saturday also took us to Minute Maid Park, home of the Houston Astros. Those of you who have ever sauntered over to my other blog—mistakenly or otherwise—will know that I love baseball. Accordingly, a life goal of mine is to watch a game in all 30 major league cities/stadiums. Having never traveled to Houston during our sojourn in Texas, an Astros game was naturally on the list of things to do in the next 8ish weeks. Let's just say, it was worth the wait. Not only does the roof close for days when it's raining—like Saturday—but we got foot-long chili-cheese artery-clogger hot dogs. I love this country! (By the way, if you're interested, that's 12 cities/stadiums down.)
Sunday morning we got up too early—see the lowlight, below—and went out for Easter breakfast before heading over to First Presbyterian Church of Houston. We arrived at church at a time that seemed early, but found a pretty-full parking lot and a past-pretty-full sanctuary. But the shoehorning into a pew and repeatedly sitting on some random Houstonian's suit coat was a low price to pay for an outstanding service. Any worship service that boldly proclaims the resurrection of our Lord and then closes with a selection from Handel's Messiah is worth squeezing in for.
We closed our Easter weekend with a trip to the Museum of Fine Arts to see an exhibit of French painters from 1800–1920 on loan from the Met in New York. Think Monet, Pissarro, Cezanne, Manet, Seurat, Picasso, and even a couple of van Goghs, even though he was most certifiably Dutch. (Can't picture them? Click here.) Simply, wow. Great stuff. We spent nearly two hours in the one exhibit. Seemed like a great museum except for the notable absence of foot-long hot dogs. (Greta was once told that she was the symphony and I was baseball and that such a combo could make for an interesting match. Actually, it makes for a delightful weekend in Houston.)
And now, the sole lowlight:
The next time we travel, I think I'm going to request the "king-size bed, non-smoking, no freaky, screaming children next door" room. Not a child from the "Smell him. Does he need changing?" category. Rather from the "I told you to turn off Hannah Montana and do your multiplication tables" wing of the elementary school.
Apparently, banshees are real and can reproduce. The child next door to our room—a room with the really unfortunate option of opening a central door to create a suite—screamed lots of things this weekend. Yet, never between the hours of 6:00am and 11:00pm. No, there was too much screaming to do once we had tried to go to sleep or long before any rational person would want to be awake. Each of the outbursts sounded exactly the same, like someone had inhaled helium and then attempted to recite lines from General Hospital.
At 5:30 on Sunday morning we awoke to a blast from the lunatic-child: "Get out of here!" Either the child's parents had woken him up or there was an exorcism taking place. Frankly, I'm still not sure which is more likely. Using the same exact pitch and tone of voice, the child further upbraided the demons/parents: "I need some toilet paper! I have to blow my nose! It's getting all over my hands!" Nothing worse than a mucus-covered imp.
Finally, with the snot cleared away, the demons/parents must have presented the banshee-child with his Easter outfit. "It's ugly!" Only a banshee-child could turn "ugly" into a dogs-come-running-five-syllable word.
To make matters worse, the head demon/father sounded like a Southeast Asian version of Ahnold and felt completely free to yell, "Shut up!" at 5:30 in the morning, presumably because the banshee-child was going to wake the neighbors. I appreciated the thoughtfulness.
Greta and I laughed about it all day. We've also found hours of unexpected enjoyment from randomly yelling, "Get out of here!" in our best banshee-child voice. So, in retrospect, maybe even the lowlight turned out to be a highlight.
Banshee sightings? Travel nightmares? Things to do in Texas before we bail? Easter thoughts? Life goals? That's what the comment link is for.

The chapter begins with the De Winter s leaving the showers of London moving directly, to their arrival, at Manderley. A huge and beautiful manor house set in the coastal valley in England. The journey from London to Manderley was long. They drove through the middle of a huge forest of the the blood red rhododendron in bloom . When she arrived to the main gate of the house, it s seemed to her she arrived to the house, but she didn t see the house, it was much further away. She had a feeling of fear from the new life she is going to start in this house. Max started to tell her about the maids and the servants in the house. It seemed he was feeling of her fear. They were to arrive to the house at five o clock for tea time. But she saw herself dressed unsuitably In a tan colored stockinet frock, a small fur known as a stone martin around the neck .
When they arrived to the house, Mrs. De Winter finds it beautiful, the size of her new home also frightens her, especially when the entire staff of servants comes out to greet her, led by the butler, Frith. The scene has been organized, against Maxim's orders, by Mrs. Danvers, a thin, hollow-eyed housekeeper, who greets Mrs. de Winter with stiff formality. After returning the housekeeper's welcome, she is led inside by Maxim. The couple took their tea in the library, a stuffy room that looks down to the sea. Jasper and his mother, also welcomed both of them. While Maxim opens his mail, Mrs. De Winter was imagining that she had boys who were playing around on the couches with their boots, until Frith interrupted her dream by taking the tea pots from the table. Later, she went upstairs with Mrs. Danvers to see her bedroom, which is renovated under Maxim s orders. Mrs. Danvers, a tall and gaunt, deathly cold, lifeless, whose prominent cheek bones and great hollow eyes gave her skull s face, was telling Mrs. De Winter that the west wing was much bigger and more beautiful than the east wing in a suspicious way. The room was not facing the sea but was facing rose garden. Max explains his choice to this wing that he spent his childhood with his mother in the rose garden. Mrs. Danvers is respectful, but in her manner Mrs. De Winter nervously senses a feeling of unfriendliness and hatred, and she is relieved when Maxim comes upstairs to complete the tour with her. Then the husband and wife go downstairs for dinner, which went smoothly, remembering their trips to Italy and France.
They went back to the library. Max was reading and Mrs. De Winter felt lonely and when she settled into her chair, she begins to think about Rebecca, whose place she has taken as Mrs. de Winter and Mistress of Manderley.
Mrs. De Winter frequently feels of the spirit of Rebecca around the house. She feels very strange towards Mrs. Danvers. We see Mrs. Danvers was fiercely devoted to Rebecca, and remains loyal to her even after death. She despises Mrs. De Winter for taking her mistress's place. Rebecca is not the typical ghost story: although characters frequently speak of Rebecca's presence at Manderley, her ghost never actually appears itself. But then, the ghost does not need to actually appear, for it has a living spokesperson in the house, representing its interests. From the beginning we clearly see Mrs. Danvers's wickedness: we read, "Someone advanced from the sea of faces, someone tall and gaunt, dressed in deep black, whose prominent cheek-bones and great, hollow eyes gave her a skull's face, parchment- white, set on skeleton's frame." This living servant looks like death incarnate; she is the perfect representative for a dead woman. And though Mrs. Danvers may look skeleton-like and frail, her powers overcome physical reality, just as Rebecca is able to make use of her influence at Manderley despite her very death. It is thus Rebecca, and not Mrs. De Winter, who is the true mistress of Manderley; and as such she seeks to deny Mrs. De Winter her identity to ensure that her shadow forever eclipse this new Mrs. de Winter.

I knew of GOD as a child and it kept me from doing and behaving like many of my peers in various situations

That's typically not what you are supposed to do when properly raising a child in a religious family.
No, indoctrinating a child to a system of pacifistic ritual
The Text IS the word of god but it is written down and interfered with by fallible men. This would explain why the bible is seemingly full of contradiction.

Needless to say you are able to indicate which parts of the bibles are the words of a god that have not been interfered with by men
No doubt you can also provide the evidence that the portions of the bibles not interfered by men are the words of a god and how this proof is obtained.
There's no seemingly about it, the bibles a full of contradictions period.
Needless to say this obviously means something to someone but is complete gibberish to those that don't live in fairyland
Is teaching religion child abuse?
This is why religious people such as myself and reform jews are encouraged to question the validity of the text in the bible. The best you can do is make a philosophically educated guess that it COULD be the true word of god.
Originally posted by moocowman
Since when doe torture or killing a person fro non compliance qualify as pacifism ?
That is the point, that because words and passages may be either falsely attributed to what god said or are translated or interpreted "wrong" they are to not be regarded as the definitive word of god.
Christianity is NOT a religion of killing or torture or any other barbarity of Man's making. To follow Christ, we know there will be toil and tribulation, but we do it in FAITH and in spite of the adversarial nimrods that hinder our path. We PREVAIL.
"But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me"
"Who says I am not under the special protection of God?"
"We are all proud that through God's powerful aid, we have become once more true Germans"

Thank you. Your inquiry has been received.
Located at the Southwest corner of El Centro and White Road these 40 acres of raw land provide many options! Great opportunity for developers, investors or individuals who want to live in a serene, picturesque location with expansive views. Visionaries can see this 40-acre parcel, zoned PH/RL-5 divided into smaller parcels for a possible subdivision. Located near highway 138 in Phelan and not too far from Interstate 15, this parcel may be considered well-situated. Phelan is located at the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains and is one of the fastest growing cities in San Bernardino County. The population was more than 14,000 in 2010 and it continues to grow at a rapid pace. Closest water line in Sonora and Mesquite. Information taken from tax assessor's records, Phelan city website, and county of San Bernardino surveyor's office. Buyer to do his/her own due diligence.

Obviously, martial law is only necessary in cases of extreme chaos. Normal law and order are appropriate for most places at most times. Giving the military power over civilian society is usually a dangerous option. The military should only have control of a country as a last resort after extreme disasters.
Martial law is just an excuse to permit governments which already routinely trample on the civil rights of their citizens even more so than they ordinarily do. This all takes place under the guise of so called increased safety. We should not trade freedom for a false sense of security.

That looks as expected. The SSD has System Reserved and C. The large drive is empty.
I assume you store all your stuff in some folder under C Users, most likely C users yourusername?
You need to redirect that folder.
I have never used user folders at all and save directly to the D drive, so I'm not the authority on what you need to do---but it is commonly done.
Below are a couple of tutorials that you can at least look over. I'd wait for others who have actually done the procedure to comment as I think there may be some nuances or there may be other relevant tutorials.
User Profile - Change Default Location
User Folders - Change Default Location
|My System Specs
|11 Jul 2012
I would recommend not redirecting folders, but just changing the library pointers. That used to be the way, but I see most people suggesting to not redirct anymore with Windows 7. On any system I use, I don't store anything on C on purpose. Everything goes to my D drive...docs, photos, music, etc.
|My System Specs
|11 Jul 2012
W10 Pro desktop, W10 laptop, W10 laptop, W10 Pro tablet (all 64-bit)
I created folders on my D: drive similarly named to the ones on my C: drive. For instance, I have Music, Pictures, Video, Program Files, etc... When I save a data file, I simply save it to the folders I created on the D: drive.
I don't install ALL of my program files on my SSD but only those that I use frequently. I also moved the page file and TEMP file folder to the D: drive.
When installing a program, it's easy to tell it to install on the D: vs. the C:. The default is usually to install to the C:\Program Files\ProgramName folder. Since I have the Program Files folder on my D: drive I simply change the install drive from C: to D:. Many programs require you choose "Custom Install" to be able to alter the default install location.
|My System Specs
|11 Jul 2012
|My System Specs
|11 Jul 2012
I have folders on D named downloads, mp3, pictures, video, etc and save directly to those folders.
I can't remember when or exactly why Microsoft introduced the "user folder" thing, but I never saw any need to get involved with it. Was it on XP that they first appeared? Or Windows 98?
Likewise, libraries don't add anything I need.
Here is another tutorial by Kari that may be pertinent for the OP:
User Profiles - Create and Move During Windows 7 Installation
I think I saw a post by Gregrocker in the last few days in which he said that the best method is to COPY user profiles to D, rather than move them.
