This week on the show, it's been an "emotional" week for both Ugs who can't seem to control their tears. Plus, Jamie recaps her NKOTB experience at the #iHeart80s concert and regrets waiting too long to clean her carpets.
Oh, and we can't wait for you to hear Paula's epic and embarrassing Uglee and Awkward moment!
Enjoy the #SuperBowl and then listen and laugh with us.

I was originally born outside of Detroit, MI, but have lived in CO since I was 4 years old, so I consider myself to basically be a native. I went to college at the amazing University of Colorado at Boulder studying biochemistry, and decided to stay local for medical school. I'm going into Internal Medicine, likely subspecializing (though trying to figure out which of my many interests will be the best fit). As part of the CU SOM Research Track I did spend a lot of my free time in the lab the first two years, and will continue during 4th year. When I'm not occupied with school I enjoy doing typical Colorado type activities. I'm obsessed with baseball and football, and try to go fly fishing at least once or two a month during the summer. I also enjoy hiking, camping, Red Rocks concerts, and just simply hanging out with friends and family and exploring more of what this great state has to offer.

Throughout the historical past of investing there have all the time been two foci for strategic actions, one around the financial fundamentals of the corporate issuing the equity, the other around the behavioral tendencies of buyers and sellers of these equities. Equity finance is money that is invested into your online business in return for a share of the enterprise. Equity finance is medium to long run finance and is the perfect sort of finance that is open to small businesses, especially if you are an entrepreneurial enterprise.
Because of this, householders who make an honest effort to restore their credit score by making payments in a well timed trend might find themselves in a position of improved credit in the future. KPMG was additionally awarded the most important particular person contract given to a big 4 firm over the interval, an $eight.4 million tender to provide complete-of-authorities accounting and monetary management services.

WSOP thoughts
I am a bit surprised that of the 27 left, only 3 are recognizable pros (no slight to anyone on the list I do not know). I am not surprised that those 3, Phil Ivey, Mike Matusow, and Greg Raymer are in the top 10. Anyone who doubts Raymer's ability is a moron. The guy can play.
Of the 3, I am rooting for Matusow. Yeah, he is a loud mouth and can be a total ass (or at least that is how TV portrays him) but the real story is he is a great guy who does anything for his friends. Even jail time.
Of course, it would be great to see Phil Ivey win it as well. True class at a poker table.
The good Dr also linked up the cutie he has been working and partying with, Sherry at Let's Poker. All I can say is yum! I am jealous of Pauly.
Also go listen to the Dr. Pauly and Otis Show at Up for Poker. Hilarious.
One final comment...am I the only one that thinks to say that this year's WSOP champion beat out 5600 other players is incorrect? Let's think about it. They had 3 first day flights. About 1870 people per flight. Thus you didn't have to survive against 3700 of these people. None of them put your chips at risk. I like this to a big tournament online. I have played against 2400 before, more than what you go against in the WSOP this year. Maybe I am the only one that thought about this. Amazing feat in the end still.

Just found your blog. I'm a WI poker guy, Sheboygan. Good job with your vicotry in your earlier post.

There must be some type of mathmatical formula that shows the diffrence between 5600 playing all at the same time and the breaking 5600 into three flights, but I've drank (drunk) too much beer in my life to figure it out.
Maybe BG can help us make up some geeky equivilency formula.
- Pauly said...
Heh, thanks!
- Unknown said...
Actually, it doesn't matter whether day one is split into three flights or not ... you could as easily seat everyone at once and call tables 1-200, 201-400, 401-600 separate "flights" and it wouldn't significantly change anything for any of the players. You, on table 579, aren't very likely to face anyone on table 114 anyway, so whether they play on the same day as you or not, you're still up against 5600 people.


text: Released: ASP.NET and Web Tools 2012.2 in Context February 18, '13 Comments [87] Posted in ASP.NET | ASP.NET MVC | ASP.NET Web API | VS2012 Sponsored By Last year the ASP.NET team started talking about something we're calling "One ASP.NET." I showed some mockups of our ideas last summer at the aspConf Keynote that you can watch online. We also announced then that we would add new features to ASP.NET as out of band releases (OOB) without breaking existing functionality. This means that developers don't have to wait for the next version of Visual Studio for great web development features today. We're aiming to add to ASP.NET and Web Tools every 6 months. For those that don't want to wait, Mads and the team also started a feature playground called Web Essentials. This is an extension to Visual Studio that updates all the time with ideas and brainstorms about how VS can be an even better editor for the web. As features "graduate" from Web Essentials, they move into ASP.NET and Web Tools proper. A bunch of features graduate with today's release. Today we announced ASP.NET and Web Tools 2012.2. You can use the Web Platform Installer to get ASP.NET and Web Tools 2012.2 now. Get it with the Online Installer: Get ASP.NET and Web Tools 2012.2 with Web Platform Installer OR use the Offline Installers: 1. Get the ASP.NET 2012.2 pieces then get one of these 2. Web Tools 2012.2 for any regular Visual Studio 2012 or Web Tools 2012.2 for Visual Studio Web Express Here's some highlights: Editors Syntax Highlighting for client side templating languages within the HTML editor like: CoffeeScript Mustache Handlebars JsRender Other editors get new features as well: Syntax Highlighting, intellisense and validation for LESS files. Intellisense for Knockout.js bindings! CSS Auto Sync - type into the CSS editor while the site running and get live updates in Page Inspector Everyone's favorite "Paste JSON as Class." Copy some JSON into the clipboard, paste and get either C# or VB classes for your JSON to serialize into. Browsers Mobile Emulator support adds extensibility hooks so that third-party emulators and unusual browsers can be installed as a VSIX. The installed emulators will show up in the F5 dropdown, so that developers can preview their websites on a variety of devices. Read more about this feature in my entry on the new BrowserStack integration with Visual Studio. Packages With today's release, all of the ASP.NET templates have updated versions of jQuery, jQuery UI, jQuery Validation, Modernizr, Knockout, and other open source NuGet packages. Your existing projects won't update unless you update them explicitly. ASP.NET OData support in ASP.NET Web API SignalR included out of the box and fully supported Web Forms now supports Friendly URLs (no more .aspx extension) Web Forms supports device (mobile) specific pages, so product.aspx can also have product.mobile.aspx. Updated Single Page Application template MVC Facebook Application Template Web Sites get the same publishing tools as Web Projects These are just the highlights. But let me call out one specific feature that gets us closer to one of the main goals for One ASP.NET which is what I call a more level playing field. Community Project Templates One of the most significant "under the hood" changes is the ability to add a project template via a VSIX. We'll be seeing an update to the Visual Studio Gallery soon that will make it so you can upload your own VSIX files (Visual Studio Extensions) that can be installed (and easily updated) into the ASP.NET MVC File New Project dialog with one click. It's important to know that we're only halfway there. This is likely not what the final unified One ASP.NET dialog will end up looking like, but it's a start as it's a good place to open up for new templates. Phrased differently, project templates should be as easy to share as NuGet packages. That's a goal. Another goal is to be able to take an example project that looks the way you want, with the NuGet packages setup as you like them, then "Save As | Project Template" then publish the resulting template/VSIX to the gallery. That means projects like NancyFX, or FubuMvc or whatever you can think of can live next to out of the box templates. Here's the initial documentation on how you can create VSIXs of project templates, get in this dialog and make it easy to spread your vision of a great web app. We are working to make this process fewer steps and unify things, but this works great now with VS2012.2 so you can get started today. Stay tuned for more on this. In the near future we'd like to see the community sharing project templates that look the way the community wants them to look, living side by side with templates from Microsoft. As start, we're announcing four Single Page Application (SPA) templates you can install now. Please note that these community templates could be anything, the VSIX hooks are wide open, it's just that the first few happen to be SPA templates. Ember - a template using Emberjs and Handlebars. Durandal - a template with Durandal at its heart, bringing in require.js, knockout.js and more. Breeze - a template using Breeze.js. And, a clever play on words from John Papa (because what do you get in a SPA?) HotTowel - a more complex template that includes knockout, bootstrap, sammy, toastr, q, momentjs, breeze and puts them all together into one SPA example. Note how nice the HTML editor looks when working on an Ember project, for example. We've got syntax highlighting, HTML5 Intellisense and coloring in our Mustache templates. Remember, you'll need the 2012.2 release to see these new templates, so use Web Platform Installer to get ASP.NET and Web Tools 2012.2 now. And, if you want check out our future playground features like Zen Coding, CoffeeScript and lots more, also pick up Web Essentials. Note that Web Essentials is a small extension and if it causes you any trouble you can just disable it. Should you fear this release? ASP.NET and Web Tools 2012.2 doesn't change any GAC'ed (Global Assembly Cache) files. It won't mess up your install of ASP.NET or change any existing projects. It's changes are either tooling within Visual Studio, or additions and improvements via local NuGet packages. Go get it.

It was vital for Jesus to reestablish prayer in the realm of faith. He had made it absolutely clear that vain repetition of words would avail nothing. Prayer had to be brought out of the realm of self-effort to the realm of the Spirit. Thus He said to the astonished disciples: "Whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."
The use of the word "whatever" means that prayer is no longer to be judged according to the tree of knowledge to good and evil, including its subtle branch: "Is my prayer for others?" It is God who is at work in you to both will and do in accordance with His good pleasure, Paul bluntly wrote. Understood in this context of freedom prayer was to be reinstated as a spontaneous outflow of the Spirit in the believer – whether in intelligible words or not.
And finally, believe that you have received it is another way of saying that the thing is done by God, and that there is nothing you can do to aid Him in the outworking of the manifestation – simply because He is the One who is God. Vain repetition of words or any effort towards assisting God would add nothing to the already finished result. Only believe!
One last thing: When Jesus educates the disciples on marriage and divorce in Mark 10 He says that the two, husband and wife, are one flesh. This is a shadow of our true and only marriage with Christ. Since husband and wife are one flesh, Christ and those who are joined to Him are one spirit/Spirit. Thus, if properly understood, Jesus' words on prayer in Mark 11:24 make full circle back to Him, meaning that prayer is an agreement between bride and bridegroom.

Orthomolecular Medicine News Service, Feb 6, 2019
(OMNS Feb 6 2019) The UVB-vitamin D-cancer hypothesis is nearly 40 years old [Garland, 1980]. There are 5293 publications with cancer and vitamin D or 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] in the title or abstract listed at pubmed.gov as of January 30, 2019. Nonetheless, this hypothesis has not been widely accepted; in fact, since the publication of the results for vitamin D supplementation for cancer in the VITamin D and OmegA-3 TriaL (VITAL) [Manson, 2019], support has been eroded further. As will be discussed here, the problem does not seem to be lack of evidence but, instead, the difference in how two cultures, the 'scientific' and the 'medical' communities, evaluate evidence.

MU chess champions forced to stand during 8-hour train journey
The six chess players were representing Mumbai University at an inter-university championship in Ahmedabad; parents blame MU authorities for poor arrangements
In yet another instance of official apathy towards sportspersons, six chess players from Mumbai University were forced to stand for the entire duration of an eight-hour train journey to Ahmedabad and sleep on the floor once they got there because MU officials allegedly failed make the proper arrangements for their participation in an inter-university tournament.
The six students have crossed the eliminations stage and will participate in the finals in New Delhi next week
Despite the players representing the university, the authorities were seemingly so unconcerned about whether they won or lost that instead of having a chess coach accompany the students, they sent a football coach instead.
And yet, in a testament to the students' determination, they managed to sail though the eliminations and reach the finals of the tournament, which will be held in New Delhi next week.
Ordeal begins
"The students were informed about the tournament three weeks before it began through the University of Mumbai and still their tickets were not confirmed. Even after reaching the venue, students had to struggle and sleep on mattresses on the floor, while other teams were given proper beds.
Is this how the university treats its sports champions?" asked Anil Singh, a parent of one of the participants. The students reached Ahmedabad on the night of October 26, and ended up sharing a room with another team as they had reached late. There were no beds available for them and they had to sleep on mattresses spread on the floor.
They also had to arrange for their food by themselves on the first night. "Instead of a chess coach, the students were accompanied by a football coach, leaving them with nobody to discuss their strategies with before or after the games, which is unacceptable," Singh told mid-day.
A day after the students reached the Ahmedabad venue, one of them informed his parents about the problems they were facing. Incidentally, two of the participants are children of university lecturers. "I confronted the pro-vice chancellor about the incident and he immediately got in touch with the sports department in-charge.
After much discussion, they finally booked the return tickets for our kids through the Tatkal quota, and managed to get RAC seats for four of the six students. The other two ended up travelling by bus," said the mother of another participant.
She also complained that the students are yet to receive any certificates attesting to their victory at the eliminations in Ahmedabad. "These same students had made it to the finals last year as well, and we haven't received the certificates for that championship till date," she added.
Repeat in Delhi?
Parents and students are also unhappy about the lack of interest being shown by university authorities in sending these children to the finals in Delhi next week. The students are slated to leave on Saturday, but the tickets that have been booked are on the waiting list and students are worried about a repeat of the Ahmedabad horror.
"While there are super-fast trains available, our children have been booked on the Dehradun Express, which takes nearly 30 hours to reach Delhi. Officials have told us that the longer route was chosen because student concessions were available only on a few trains," said Singh.
He added that while students from most other universities usually participate in such tournaments in blazers sponsored by their home universities, that is not the case with MU. "After we pointed this out to the university officials, our children were told that they would be given blazers if any are left over from other championships. How do they expect to encourage students like this?" Singh asked.
The other side
When mid-day tried to talk to university officials, the sports department in-charge, Uttam Kendre, was unavailable for comment. University Pro-Vice Chancellor Naresh Chandra, however, said that they have received a complaint in the matter. "The tickets were booked in advance, but they couldn't get confirmed.
We, however, ensured that the students got RAC tickets on the return journey. Our students will now be going to Delhi for the finals, and I have already informed the sports department to make sure that these students face no more hurdles," said Chandra.
He further added that students will receive their certificates for the victory in the elimination stage, and news of their success will also be circulated in their respective colleges soon. "Everything will be followed as per the rules," Chandra said.
Player speak
Participants, however, are anxious about their tickets to Delhi remaining unconfirmed and the kind of facilities that they will get. "Last time, the facilities provided to us in Ahmedabad were so bad that four of us came back with stomach infections. I hope our university takes better precautions in Delhi to help us concentrate on our games and bring home the winners' trophy," said one of the participants.

Dr Kim Jaggar's address to the school upon the presentation of the Honour Cap to Leonard Mah:
The Sydney High School Honour Cap was awarded from 1884 to 1917 as a kind of super blue for outstanding all-round sportsmen. Eedy and MacTaggart were awarded Honour Caps in 1884 and 1885.
In 1917 an amendment was adopted by the School Union to award the Honour Cap on the basis of the recipient satisfying three criteria: considerable sporting prowess, general interest in school affairs and for bringing honour to the school. In our Blues regulations, clause 6, an Honour cap is restricted to a student who has shown outstanding merit in a number of sports, preferably recognised by a School Blue in two sports.
As Principal I have interpreted the Honour Cap rule about bringing honour to the school to include earning a high quality HSC result. The Honour Cap had been awarded 30 times to 27 different students. Mischa Steen (2005), Dakshika Gunaratne (2007) and Ivor Metcalfe (2013) have been the only recipients since 2000.
This year we are pleased to be able to award the Honour Cap to a student who represented High in four sports for six years – water polo, swimming, athletics and football. He won numerous medals at CHS and CIS as well as setting school records for swimming. He represented the school at GPS level in athletics and was 100m champion in 2014-15. He played second grade water polo and second XI football in his final year. He was a member of High's GPS championship chess team for three years. At the HSC he earned a maximum ATAR of 99.95 was Dux of his cohort and came first in HSC chemistry.
Having satisfied current and historical criteria I have great pleasure in presenting the Oswald Chapman Memorial Prize for best All-rounder and a School Honour Cap to Leonard Mah.

The major corporate donor for the new building was Rio Tinto, so the building had a beautiful copper sheeting and a great location up on the "benches" right next to Red Butte Gardens.
I really appreciate it when you can get a scale for how big some of these creatures were. This picture of the sauropod was taken from the balcony overlooking the dinosaur area. It was my best attempt at getting the whole of the skeleton in the field of view of the camera.
Utah his famous for it Jurassic aged dinosaurs, but I didn't know there were Cretaceous aged fossils too. The museum also had a small room (and map) with some of the Cretaceous dinosaurs found in the state.
One of my favorite displays, and one that certainly highlights the advantage of a new bigger space, was a wall with a cladogram showing different ceratopsin skulls.
From the hall of dinosaurs, the meandering path went to an area on the ecosystems (past and present) of the Lake Bonneville and the Great Salt Lake. It was a nice display. but it seemed a little out of context. Also, I spent a good amount of time looking for a display, or information about the draining of Lake Bonneville through Red Rock Pass, but I never found it. Maybe because it happened in Idaho...
From the Salt Lake area, it was back into general geology and a discussion of the ecoregions of the Basin and Range Provincne. A nice diagram of the Rock Cycle
A somewhat crude, but interactive display where you got to pull apart a piece of plywood to see the formation of Basins and Ranges
|Yellowstone Seismograph on Left, Little Cottonwood Canyon on Riight
I was disappointed to say the least. The new Mineral display was one tiny hallway, located out of the way, with only about 1/4 of the minerals on display and not with the same level of detail.
Some of the old displays had been moved, like the minerals that exhibit, flourescence
But most of the new displays just showed minerals, with their associated names.
In all, the new museum had a much nicer biology display, and the focus on dinosaurs was evident. But I was sadly dissapointed that the flow of the museum didn't always transition well from one area to the next. The museum nicely went through the first four floors, but then the space science and mineral displays were off the path and woud be easy to miss. But most of all I mourn the loss of what had been one of the most complete mineral displays (second in my mind only to the Smithsonian).
One final observation, on the day went Sam's Grandmother was in a wheelchair. I think every architect in the country should have to spend a week in a wheel chair before gettting a license. While the building was fully ADA compliant (and I would bet the old one wasn't), it was not very wheel chair friendly. Some of the ramps were out of the way, and many of the displays (specifically books of pressed plants for the Basin and Range ecozones) and placards were at a convient height for a standing adult (or over the head of someone in a wheel chair).
In all, it was still worth the visit, but it no longer is in my "top five"

Title: Ken & Kaskus, Cerita Sukses di Usia Muda
Author: Alberthiene Endah
Publisher: PT Gramedia Pustaka Utama
Publication Date: June 2013
Pages: 301
Are you familiar with the term Agan, Aganwati, Pertamax, or Mimin? Yes, those are some words that mostly used by kaskuser, members of kaskus, the largest Indonesian community. Started in 1999 in Seattle, US by Andrew Darwis. At first Kaskus was just Andrew's school assignment and now it turns out to be a giant community with high creativity and powerful sense of belonging among the members.
Rome was not built within a day. It also happens for Kaskus. This book will tell about the struggle of two young men who believe in their intuition and have courage to pursue their dreams. Narrated from Ken Dean Lawadinata's point of view, one of the person behind Kaskus, we will experience one of a very inspiring memoirs. We will learn from their failure, their fear, their argument, their confidence, and the like. How they scratched from nothing and finally in 2011 Global Digital Ventra, a subsidiary of Djarum, agreed to have big investment in Kaskus. And how they at last can have their dream office at Menara Palma, Kuningan, Jakarta. One of the unique and very comfortable offices ever.
There are lots of thing to learn from Ken's life, how he turned himself from a very critical student at school and often got many problems with the teachers and now becoming one of the youngest CEOs. Other thing to note is how decisive he was in deciding to leave his study in Seattle and followed his passion in developing Kaskus. I also salute Ken's parents for their trust upon their son even the father lent a big amount of money to Ken so he could invest in Kaskus.
Now Kaskus is becoming an epic. It has 6 millions members, high traffic with 30 millions visits each day. Such a wow...A very recommended book. Inspiring.

To misquote #whitesnake #hereigoagain
#inking a new piece. Feels good and also terrifying to be inking again. I've spent the past few months with a tattoo machine in my hand. It took me a bit to remember how I set up my workspace for inking. I don't know why, but I always stress out while starting a new piece. I've done this stuff a million times yet I still psyche myself out. Happy to be working on something new. Listening to #SecretHistoryOfTwinPeaks so stoked! So much conspiracy!! So much backstory on the characters. I also got a bottle of wine and I'll be doing fine tonight.
Ok, enough #dorking out…
I'm kinda slammed at the moment so if you've emailed, sent a text or tried calling I'll get back to you this week. If you don't hear from me just ping me again. Working on tons of cool crap right now.
I just posted a free #PDF of one of my sketchbooks here http://bodega.brianewing.com/books/ Really surprised by how many people have downloaded it already. PLEASE let me know what you think of it. #tellmeimpretty
I'm going to be hosting a new #contest soon. I am not a #nameologist I'll need your help to name the new #Marilyn colorway. So stay tuned.
Check your mail. You should be receiving your stuff today or later this week.

Lady Gaga and the Benefits of Prenuptial Agreements
If a prenuptial agreement is going to cause an argument with the person you hope to spend the rest of your life with, is it worth the hassle?
It has been reported that Lady Gaga and her fiancé Taylor Kinney have fallen out after beginning negotiations over the terms of their prenuptial agreement.
Prenuptial agreements are entered into by a couple ahead of their marriage. In general, they set out the principles upon which couples wish to have their assets divided between them should they separate or divorce.
Given the huge success of Lady Gaga's pop career, it makes sense that the couple would seek to enter a prenuptial agreement. According to Celebrity Net Worth Taylor Kinney has a net worth of $2m (or approximately £1,315,080) from his acting and modelling career, meanwhile Lady Gaga has amassed $230m (approximately £151m).
Reports that the celebrity couple have fallen out have made some question if a prenuptial agreement is worth the risk of not making it down the aisle.
Ultimately, it is up to you whether you feel the benefits of a prenuptial agreement outweigh the disadvantages. Having to negotiate terms with your soon-to-be spouse is far from romantic, and the costs of obtaining legal advice can seem expensive when the end product is a document you hope you will never have to use.
Despite these issues a prenuptial agreement has a number of significant advantages if the unfortunate does happen and you are facing a divorce.
The Benefits of a Prenuptial Agreement
Certainty – the agreement will provide you with greater certainty around how your assets will be divided.
Time – prenuptial agreements can prevent months of drawn-out settlement negotiations or court hearings.
Costs – while you may be reluctant to incur legal fees at this stage of your relationship, it can help save the costs, likely to be significantly more, associated with months of negotiations once you decide to divorce.
Stress – a divorce is one of the most stressful things you can go through in life, and it will be reassuring if you ever do divorce to know that your financial arrangements can be tied up a lot more quickly and without any kind of acrimonious dispute.
If you are looking to get married and would like to speak to a solicitor about a prenuptial agreement, Slater and Gordon have the biggest team of family lawyers in the UK. You can call us for an initial consultation on freephone 0800 916 9055 or contact us online.

Were you arrested for drunk driving? A Walnut Creek DWI lawyer describes the initial interview with your attorney.
Usually, when you first meet with your DUI attorney, it will take place at the attorney's office. A Walnut Creek DUI attorney would do the following:
- Ask you to describe what happened before, during and after your arrest
- Explain your charges
- Explain your potential penalties
- Discuss the trial and your chances of success
- Prepare your defense
Your attorney should put you at ease and instill confidence that you will be prepared and that your attorney will be well-informed.
A Walnut Creek DWI lawyer will then ask you to describe the entire situation, all in chronological order. You will need to recall starting hours prior to your arrest all the way through your release from police custody. Your attorney will ascertain whether you had any food or non-alcoholic beverages before your arrest, as well as the amount of alcohol you consumed and the time period of consumption.
You will need to provide the following information to a Walnut Creed DWI lawyer:
- Name
- Address
- Phone number
- Marital Status
- Occupation
- Weight and height
- Other personal information
If you have had any other contact with police officers in the past, you will need to let the Walnut Creek DWI lawyer know. This includes accidents or criminal convictions. You need to provide this information to ensure you are being honest, and that a prior criminal history will affect whether the prosecution will consider a plea. Also, if you have prior DUI convictions, your attorney will need to attack the validity of them, or you may face mandatory jail time.
For more information regarding your initial interview, contact Walnut Creek DWI lawyer Blackie Burak at 1-866-BLCKDUI or (925) 933-4500 .

As someone who studies glaciers, I associate the Polar Regions with blue glacier ice and incomprehensibly large, flat, white expanses. The "Arctic" does not conjure images of anything living, with the exception of the people who live on the rare spots of ice-free land, the mosquitoes that I'm always grateful to escape once on the ice itself, and the polar bears which, in my experience so far, have been only an abstract threat. (Last year when Lee Corbett, Erich Osterberg, Eric Lutz, and I were in Thule, three bears wandered onto the Air Force Base, but operations quickly called a lockdown. No one was allowed outside until the threat was "removed.")
The Arctic, I learned last week, is teeming with wildlife, much of it barely visible (if that) to the human eye or covertly thriving in dense vegetation. We spent two separate modules on organismal biology, the first in aquatic ecology under the tutelage of expert IGERT fellow Jess and the second in population ecology and herbivory with Matt Ayres.

Jess' classroom was a lake adjacent to the ice sheet margin, and her zeal about both the location and the organisms we found engendered excitement among the biologists and non-biologists alike. She talked to us about the aquatic food web and thermal lake stratification, describing that lakes typically have three layers: the epilimnion (surface layer), metalimnion (middle layer, AKA thermocline), and hypolimnion (bottom layer) that vary by density. She then had us see what we could catch in nets along the lake edge. We put on comically large waders; scooped up water, slime, and small plants; and dumped our findings into plastic buckets to see what was moving.
Students examine their findings from the edge of the lake. (Photo: Ayres)
One of the most ubiquitous organisms we found was the diving beetle, Colymbetes dolabratus, the mosquito's greatest enemy (I liked this thing instantly when I heard that). We found it both in adult form and in larva stage, which I was surprised to learn was even larger. Other notable findings were Chironomids, midges whose eyes and internal features we could see with a hand lens or macroscope once pipetted onto slides. Some of them were even red because their blood was oxygenated. We could see their guts filled with food, which they frequently passed. Their circus-like, rapid flipping movement impressed those of us who had never seen such a thing before! Apparently, these creatures, which looked a lot like worms to me, will turn into flies someday.
Chironomid larvae. (Photo: Giese)
Other organisms we collected included ubiquitous mites, zooplankton-like Daphnia, fairy shrimp, and cyanobacteria (one of which closely resembled Gloeotrichia, a species Jess and lab her labmates study back in the Upper Valley!). Watch for upcoming posts on the shrimp and cyanobacteria from Chelsea and Jess, respectively.
Our specimen collection didn't end with the near-shore ecology; an inflatable boat took us out into the center of the lake to collect profiles of temperature, conductivity, pH, and dissolved oxygen. Unfortunately, the high winds precluded us from keeping the boat in a single spot, and they led to so much mixing that the multiprobe readings reflected zero stratification. Nevertheless, the boat trip was instructive for the non-aquatic ecologists in terms of providing a sense of typical measurements. A net we dragged behind the boat did yield some interesting finds; Jess bottled up the zooplankton from the lake center to take back to Hanover and examine in more detail.
Ali, Steph, and Jess lowering the plankton net from the Zodiak boat. (Photo: Ayres)
Water isn't the only home of Arctic animals, and we spent part of the next day searching for organisms that live on land. We had already established that our environment supported only 5 mammals—musk ox, caribou, Arctic fox, Arctic hare, and humans—most of which are vegetarians. But it turns out that they're not the only herbivores in the tundra!
Matt brought us out into a vegetated field and showed us to how to find the smaller herbivores, which make up in cumulative biomass what they lack in individual size. We were looking specifically for caterpillars, which had a huge population boom last year. We heard stories from IGERT cohort II about how these creatures were all over their tents and how it was difficult to walk without stepping on them! We hadn't seen any caterpillars yet, but the abundance of overgrazed (i.e. dead) Betula nana was evidence that cohort II hadn't been exaggerating.
We marched through the vegetation, swinging wildly at the leaves with our nets.

We then examined our collection…and here began the fun part. Before the bugs scampered or flew away, we had to catch them by sucking them into a sample bottle (a process called "aspiration"). Because there's a screen between the mouth tube and the sample bottle, it is impossible to have a critter end up in your mouth, but it still took some of us a little while to get used to.
Matt demonstrating the aspiration technique. (Photo: Giese)
Lee, Steph, and Chelsea collected these insects. Note the caterpillars in the lower left, stuck together with spider web. (Photo: Corbett)
We found surprisingly few caterpillars; Jess and I found a rough total of five in eight net sweeps. Instead of caterpillars, spiders appeared to comprise the majority of small creatures in the tundra vegetation. But this begged a question: since spiders are not eating the plants, what are they eating? We came up with a few hypotheses, the most promising of which seemed to be that they were eating each other (I didn't know spiders could be cannibals). Isotope analysis back in Hanover would tell us for sure; because organisms preferentially excrete the lighter form of nitrogen (N-14), heavier nitrogen (N-15) builds up in tissues. This means that the primary producers (plant-eaters) have relatively low levels of heavy nitrogen while animals farther up the food chain have increasing concentrations of it. We'd expect all organisms at the same "trophic level" to have about the same concentrations, but if the spiders are eating each other, there will be greater variation than normally expected (since they're eating each other as well as below their trophic level). Little did I know that isotopes could tell us about spider diets as well as past climates and glacial extents!
After the insect and spider lesson, we ventured over to the ice sheet to explore two different parts of its margin. But I returned to the ice with a much greater appreciation of the myriad of dynamic systems at work on the world's largest island.

Are you using MailChimp to manage your blog email subscriptions? If not, you should be. But you also need to make sure that the images you use don't break your MailChimp email layout. Don't worry, it's much easier than you might think.
First, the problem.
There is a good chance that your email template is setup to be 600 pixels wide… with a content area smaller than that — if you chose a template with a sidebar than the content section is significantly smaller than that.
Due to the limitations of CSS support in most email clients you cannot easily (and consistently) set a "max-size" for images in your email campaigns. This means that if your blog posts include images that are wider than your MailChimp template's content area, the template will simply expand to contain your images… but only in the section containing the blog posts, not the header or footer. The result if a broken template design.
Are your images the wrong size? Often, blog images are pulled into feeds at a size that's much larger than necessary, which can alter the look of your campaign. The format of the images needs to be changed on the feed.
— MailChimp KB Article "Troubleshooting RSS in Campaigns"
That last sentence in there is MailChimp's way of saying, "We're not going to deal with that issue in our tools… you figure something out on your own."
The geeky fix.
There are two ways to solve this issue. If you are a developer or if you want maximum control over your RSS feed, then you can customize your RSS feed to automatically filter images larger than your email template's width. I recommend using a script like WP Thumb for real-time image resizing.
If you're using WordPress then you can do this in a custom RSS feed template or via some WP filters. See here for options:
- http://digwp.com/2012/10/customizing-wordpress-feeds/
- http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/201103/controlling_and_customising_rss_feeds_in_wordpress/
- https://yoast.com/custom-rss-feeds-wordpress/
The easy fix.
If you don't need this level of customization (and you probably don't) then the simple fix is to use a solution that MailChimp provides but does not promote as much as they should: ChimpFeedr.
What is ChimpFeedr? It is an RSS aggregator. The main purpose is to allow you to combine multiple RSS feeds into one master feed that you can then use for an RSS to email campaign. Here's how MailChimp describes it:
Enter a bunch of RSS feeds into ChimpFeedr, and we'll mash 'em up into one master RSS feed. Then, maybe you can use that master feed for your awesome RSS-to-email campaigns!
But how does this fix my image problem? Simple. This little checkbox will tell ChimpFeedr to automatically scan your feed(s) for large images and then resize them for you!
And you don't have to add more than one feed for ChimpFeedr to work. You can use it to filter just one feed. Here's how:
- (Optional but useful.) Go to the archive page of your last email, open your browser's "Inspector" window, and look at how wide one of your main content paragraphs is. This will give your your main content size (a.k.a. the max-width of your images). Mine is 564px and I am not using a template with a sidebar. A client's was 360px and they were using a sidebar.
- Copy your full RSS feed URL… probably something like https://benstewart.net/feed/
- Go to ChimpFeedr and paste your feed URL into the box.
- Click the checkbox for "Resize Images?"
- Enter the content width from Step #1 in the "Scale down images…" box. If you didn't do Step #1 then just keep the default or guess.
- Click the button and ChimpFeedr will say something like, "Your mix is being updated and will be accessible at:" then provide you a link to your new RSS feed.
- Copy the new RSS feed's link and paste it into your browser. It will start off empty. Wait about 1-2 minutes then reload until you see your content.
- Login to MailChimp and edit your RSS to Email Campaign.
- Replace your old RSS feed URL in the settings with the new ChimpFeedr RSS feed URL.
- Confirm and re-start your campaign.
- Sleep a little easier each night knowing that your awesome content will look spectacular in your email template.
Now it's your turn: What are your favorite MailChimp tips and tricks?

"It's all about Cassie Cowan - a nice girl from a nice Gwent valleys family - who kills four people on the road because she used her mobile phone and lost her concentration for a few seconds."
It's with these words that the police force from Gwent, a region of south Wales, introduce their mini horror film. Directed by local lecturer Peter Watkins-Hughes and acted out by amateurs, the scene from a 30 minute educational video for school children, is soon to be broadcast on BBC Wales as an advert.
The somewhat radical strategy comes in response to evidence which proves that 18-24 year-olds' reaction times are 35% slower when reading or writing a text message, meaning that the effects are therefore potentially just as fatal as drink or drug driving. And half of young drivers do it. The message is not falling on deaf ears - the video has already got almost 1.5 million hits on YouTube.
Warning, you may find the video upsetting.
"The film should be shown to young people when they pass their driving test"
Mick Giannasi is Gwent police chief constable. He's also a member of the national Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) and a driving safety specialist; referred to by the UK press as "Britain's top traffic policeman".
I want as many young people and families as possible to see this film so that they understand the consequences of such accidents on small communities like their own. The film shows just how dangerous it is to be irresponsible behind the wheel. It doesn't only show the immediate consequences of the accident, but also the consequences for the family, the community, and the girl herself. People in Canada have contacted us to say how moved they were by the clip. A young driver from Cornwall sent me an email to say that the film should be shown to young people when they pass their driving test. I told him that that was exactly what we - the fire service, the ambulance service and the helicopters - were hoping for when we were shooting it."
The sorry tale of Cassie Cowan

298 High St, Northcote
It's only been really recently that I've been noticing how many women have really shitty relationships with their dads. There are some women who grew up without their fathers around, others who grew up with abusive fathers, others still who grew up with their dathers around, but were completely disinterested or disconnected from them. I've noticed that the majority of women that I know now don't trust their dads enough to talk to them, don't think their dads care enough about them to warrant sharing their problems, think their dads are assholes… every time I hear another comment along that vein, it shocks me even more; I've realised that I'm in the very tiny minority of women who have a really great relationship with their dad! This is my dad, by the way – and this is one of my favourite photos of us, because when people see it they usually say I look so much like him, which is pretty cool 🙂
I've heard other people describe my dad as very hard working, but quietly so – "you'd never know just how hard he works because he'd never complain about it," very, very generous, incredibly logical and intelligent, "the patience of a saint, especially with a wife and three daughters," kind and compassionate almost to a fault, "the calmest person I've ever met," and "such a good bloke." They're all right, of course; I've never met another person like my dad, and I doubt I'll ever respect anyone else on earth more than I respect him. He's been my role model and guiding light my entire life. We differ greatly in many things (I'd rather go and get tattooed while he'd prefer to attend Sunday mass), we have very different temperaments (he's so much more together than me, so much more understanding and patient and calm, whereas I'm a bit more highly strung and prone to stress-induced freak outs). But he's taught me some of the most important lessons in life:
– The necessity of hard work and the fact that nothing handed to you on a silver platter is really yours.
– Your family might shit you sometimes, but they are still your family. Look out for them, even if they don't seem to appreciate it, because one day they'll have your back, too.
– That you're better off doing it right the first time than rushing through it and having to re-do it.
– Being angry at someone and holding a grudge is going to hurt you a lot more than it'll hurt them.
– Work hard for what you want, but when you've done all you can, it's ok to ask for help if you need it.
– You can't always get what you want; be grateful for what you already have.
– Treat people the way you want to be treated; if you want to be respected, show respect to others first.
– Just because you've married someone, doesn't mean you get to take them for granted and stop saying please, thank you or I love you.
– If you're stressed out or worried about something, do what you need to do to change it. If you can't change it, worrying isn't going to help anyway, so stop stressing out so much.
– Your sisters might shit you, but you shit them (and your parents) too, sometimes.
– Money really, truly, cannot buy happiness, but more importantly, it can't buy dignity or respect.
– It's never too cold for ice cream.
– There's always room for dessert, especially if it involves Nutella. And if it doesn't, Nutella would probably improve whatever dessert is.
– There's always time for pizza.
I love hanging out with dad; we try to make an effort to go out for dinner, just the two of us, every few weeks. He's busy running his own business and making their new home and garden beautiful, and I've got a lot going on too, but no matter how busy I am, I'll always happily cancel other plans when dad asks if I'm free for dinner! I've been wanting to visit Lievita for AGES, and dad said the pizza there was fantastic (the man knows good food), so like the good Italians we are, we visited for our father-daughter dinner date last night 🙂
In Italian, "lievita" means leavened, or risen. Traditional, the street food way to serve pizza in Rome is al taglio, served by the slice, in squares. You don't get round pizzas or triangular slices in Rome, it's all done by the square slice and sold not as a set price per slice, but as a set price by weight. And Luca at Lievita, after having risen his dough for an impressive 72 hours, runs his business in the same way as its done in Rome; a window full of beautiful, colourful pizzas, topped with only two or three quality ingredients (it's all about quality over quantity), from which you order al taglio, and pay according to the weight of your slice/s. Amazing. How has it taken so long for an Italian to take their street food to Melbourne like this?!
Dad's been to visit Lievita more than a few times, so I let him order for us. First round was:
TOP: Potato, rosemary and guanciale (a cured meat that comes from the pork jowl/cheek area) – this one was my favourite, I love potato on pizza, and the guanciale was SO GOOD!! Perfectly rendered fat, heaps of flavour, just magic!
BOTTOM: Cherry tomato, mortadella and parmesan – loved the mortadella all warm and crispy, and heaps of it!
Round two:
TOP: Eggplant, mozzarella and tomato – this is the way eggplant should be eaten.
BOTTOM: Chicory and ricotta – I had no idea something so simple could taste so good. Holy wow. Random combination, not something you'd see in your standard pizza shop, but if they have this one there when you visit, absolutely grab a slice!
Round three:
TOP: Zucchini. Just a zucchini pizza. How the hell do they get the zucchini to taste so good?! It's creamy and salty and got so much more flavour than you'd ever believe possible for a plain zucchini and nothing else pizza.
BOTTOM: Cherry tomato, buffalo mozzarella and basil – again, so simple, but because the ingredients were of such incredible quality, this was just so beautiful… super sweet tomatoes and basil sat perfectly on a crispy bottomed, fluffy dough base.
I'm not going to write a big, long, wordy review full of pretentious terminology about how well the elements worked together or crap like that. This is good, simple, honest food, and it doesn't need it. Quite simply, this is the best pizza I can ever remember eating. Including the pizza al taglio I ate in Rome. Honest to God, it truly was. The ingredients, while simple, are of the best quality, and the pizzas only have two or three ingredients each – that's the hallmark of good Italian cooking, only a few ingredients of the best quality will outshine a complex dish with a dozen mediocre ingredients. But the biggest difference, I believe, is the dough – 72 hours worth of rising time makes for the most spectacularly light and airy dough, with the perfectly crisp and crunchy base. No soggy bottoms here.
Oh, and next to the pizza window, there's another window with loaves of bread, panini, and dolci (sweets). Dad got excited when he spotted a lone sfogliatella left in the window; his auntie makes the best ones, he says, but given the quality of the pizza here, he was willing to give their version a chance; risk well taken, dad. A traditional southern Italian pastry filled traditionally filled with orange flavoured ricotta and often candied peel, this was the best restaurant take on the traditional home made stuff that I've only ever enjoyed fresh out of the kitchens of family members that I've had to date.
There's really not much else to say – Luca is doing an incredible job with Lievita, and all of the hard work he's put into the place has more than paid off. The only way to end this post is to tell you to give your dad a call if you're lucky enough to have him as a part of your life and let him know he's a pretty good egg, and then, if you're in Melbourne, take him out for pizza and beer at Lievita.

Q: We are all concerned about the attack on Chinese peacekeepers in South Sudan. Can you update us on that?
A: Two Chinese peacekeepers were killed, two heavily injured and three slightly injured in the attack at the premises of the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS). The Chinese side strongly condemns the attack on UN peacekeepers.
The Chinese government attaches high importance to this. The Chinese Foreign Ministry immediately mobilized resources to treat and transfer the injured. Vice Foreign Minister Zhang Ming has summoned the Ambassador of South Sudan to China, lodging solemn representations about the attack which led to death and injuries of Chinese peacekeepers, and urging the government of South Sudan to offer all necessary security and logistic support, cooperate with China to deal with all the follow-up matters, help with the treatment and transfer of the injured and ensure the safety of Chinese nationals in South Sudan. The Foreign Ministry is also in close communication with the Chinese military, asking the relevant diplomatic missions to immediately reach out to the United Nations and the warring parties of South Sudan, in a bid to secure favorable conditions for the treatment and transfer of the injured. I believe you have all noted the Security Council press statement and the statement by the UN Secretary-General. Taking seriously the treatment of Chinese injured, the UN is active in cooperating with and supporting us. The injured Chinese peacekeepers have been safely transferred to a relatively better hospital from the premises of UNMISS.
Q: The Arbitral Tribunal in the South China Sea arbitration said it is going to give an advanced copy of the ruling to the claimants, presumably the Philippines and some of the observer countries. I know China had said it would not participate in this case. But will you also be receiving a copy of the ruling ahead of time? If so, how will it be given to you? Will it be given physically to the Chinese Embassy in the Netherlands or will it be e-mailed to you?
A: You are absolutely right about China's position. We have been saying from the very beginning that we do not recognize, nor participate in the arbitration. Therefore, there isn't any connection between us and the illegal arbitral tribunal in terms of judicial procedures that could possibly generate any legal consequence. We will not accept whatever material it is going to provide.
Q: The ruling of the South China Sea arbitration case unilaterally initiated by the Philippine side will come out today. How do you view this ruling? How will it impact peace and stability in the South China Sea? What steps will China take next?
A: As I told the Reuters today, and the New York Times yesterday, regarding this so-called Arbitral Tribunal unilaterally produced by the previous government of the Philippines, our position was made clear three years ago, and there should be nothing new about this.
This so-called Arbitral Tribunal was born out of the unlawful behavior and illegal claims of the Philippines. Its existence is illegal, and whatever ruling it makes is null and void, with no binding force.
As to the impact you were talking about, if there is any, I want to say that first, if it heightens confrontation and escalates tensions in the region, such negative impacts are obviously against regional peace and stability. Second, I cannot see how this ruling will affect China's established policy, since with it or not, China's long-standing policy of safeguarding its sovereignty and security interests will not change. China believes in the dual-track approach proposed by the ASEAN countries which pursues in tandem the settlement of relevant disputes by parties directly concerned through direct dialogue and the maintenance of regional peace and stability by China and ASEAN countries altogether. If anyone dares to take provocative actions and challenge China's interests, China will react decisively. This determination will not waver, ruling or no ruling.
Q: After the ruling of the arbitration comes out today, will China seek dialogue with the Philippines? Will China make it conditional?
A: First of all, for a very long time, China and the Philippines were on good terms, so do our two peoples. However, in recent years, due to reasons known to all, our bilateral relationship has met some difficulties. On our part, we always want to sustain our friendly relationship with our neighbors, including the Philippines for win-win outcomes and jointly maintain regional peace and stability. We also noted that the new Philippine government had expressed its willingness to resume bilateral dialogue, pursue common development, and well manage disputes with China after it took office. Of course, our door is open to such proposals.
Q: The conflicting parties in South Sudan announced a ceasefire yesterday. What is your comment?
A: China hopes that the conflicting parties in South Sudan can earnestly enforce and stick to the ceasefire and cessation of violence, faithfully implement the peace agreement, and restore peace and stability to South Sudan at an early date.
Q: UK Home Secretary Theresa May will become the Prime Minister on July 13. What is your comment?
A: We have noted relevant reports. China sets great score by China-UK relationship. Following the principle of mutual respect and mutual benefit, we and would like to work with the new British government to deepen political mutual trust, enhance all-around practical cooperation and make greater strides in developing bilateral relationship in the "golden era".
Q: You said that China will not accept the advanced copy of the ruling, then will China make a response when the ruling of the arbitration is officially issued?
A: As I told the Reuters reporter, we will not have any legal connection with it since we do not recognize this illegal organ from the very beginning.
Q: EU trade commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom said in Beijing that China needs to further level its playing field for the China-EU investment agreement, and EU enterprises are still concerned about the business environment in China. What is your response?
A: We have noted her remarks. In fact, over the past 38 years of reform and opening-up, the Chinese government has set up step by step a well-functioning market mechanism and system and has been working constantly to improve it. These efforts and achievements are open for all to see. Whether the environment for foreign investment in China is good or not, the market and numbers speak the loudest. From January to April, 2016, 8,298 foreign-invested enterprises have been set up in China, a year-on-year increase of 6.5%. Among them, 555 are established by 28 EU countries, a year-on-year increase of 5.1%. Businessmen from the EU have shown with their own actions that China is still a hotly contested land for world and EU investment.
I want to stress here that China's policy on utilizing foreign investment, creating a favorable environment for foreign-invested enterprises, and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of foreign-invested enterprises is subject to no change. China's economy enjoys great potential for growth and is highly resilient. We would like to continue to share our development dividends with others and achieve win-win results.
Q: What we hear from the US is that it regards itself as a guardian of maritime rule of law and keeps asking other countries to obey international law. But what we see from the US is that it condones illegal behaviors of itself and its so-called allies and has been turning a blind eye to its allies' long-time illegal occupation of China's islands and reefs. What is your comment?
A: That is a good question. Before the "Rebalance to Asia" strategy kicked in, the South China Sea and this region was very calm and peaceful. Then, when the Americans came along with the rebalance stuff, things changed. I never deny the existence of disputes in this region and differences between relevant countries before this strategy. But in general, regional countries managed to maintain peace, stability and security. Whatever excuses it may give, the fact is that the "Rebalance to Asia" strategy pursued by the US changed the situation on the ground.
How can a guardian of maritime rule of law refuse to ratify UNCLOS 34 years after the convention came into being? How can it keep asking other countries to accept third-party dispute settlement while evading and even refusing to acknowledge the ruling and order of the International Court of Justice which is the most important judicial organ of the UN (check the precedents of international law if interested)? Such an opportunistic approach of holding high international law when it sees fit and discarding international law when it sees otherwise will erode the authority, sanctity and efficacy of the law. This is very dangerous and should put the international community on high alert.
Q: Vietnam reportedly accused Chinese Coast Guard vessels of sinking a Vietnamese fishing boat in waters near Vietnam last Saturday. What is your comment?
A: At around 7 p.m., July 9, China Maritime Search and Rescue Center was notified by its Vietnamese counterpart, saying that a Vietnamese fishing boat sunk 55 nautical miles to the southeast of Yongxing Dao in the South China Sea. All 5 fishermen on board fell into the water. Rescue assistance was requested. After receiving the notification, China immediately mobilized "South China Sea Rescue 118" and "China Coast Guard 45102" to the site to assist with the rescue, and broadcast navigation warning, cautioning vessels passing by to be on watch and offer timely help. It is learnt that all the fishermen have been rescued.
Follow-up: Is China aware of the reason for the sinking?
A: I have already told you all I know.
Q: My understanding is that whether China likes it or not, the Arbitral Tribunal will email a copy of its ruling in advance. Does China have a public email account to receive the copy?
A: I have said many times that since we do not acknowledge this illegal organ, we will not have any legal or judicial relationship with it. It is futile and meaningless for relevant party to try to make such a relationship happen.
Q: Chinese media reports said that China might consider quitting UNCLOS if the award goes against China's interests. What is your comment on that?
A: I don't know where you got that information. What I can say is that ever since we approved UNCLOS in 1996, we have been faithfully implementing and upholding the Convention. China always stresses that all parties must implement UNCLOS in its entirety and in an accurate manner, instead of making selective use of it, or even breach it to serve one's own need like some specific countries did.

Below are the available bulk discount rates for each individual item when you purchase a certain amount
A full size 150 GPD Reverse Osmosis system which is ideal for aquariums, window cleaning, car washing and drinking water when used with our pressure tank kit.
This full size system has superior pre-filtration due to its large 10inch filters and also includes a membrane flush system which reduces membrane fouling thereby extending life.
This RO system will remove upto 99% of tap water contaminants.
The Osmotics RO system includes:-
* Using the flush valve regularly increases membrane life.
All Osmotics Reverse Osmosis Systems are shipped fully assembled complete with comprehensive instruction manuals.
The effectiveness and productivity of RO systems increases with greater water pressure and temperature. The actual flow rate (in GPD) of any reverse osmosis system depends on your home water pressure and temperature.
While manufacturers state that 60 psi is required at the membrane for full production, we know that not everyone's cold water is at 60 psi and 77 degrees F therefore, we remind you that you might get less than 150 GPD, perhaps 50% or even less if your pressure and temperature are very low!
So when flow rate is critical for you, you need to consider all these factors.
All RO units should have their prefilters changed every 6 months or 2500gallons throughput, whichever comes sooner. The prefilters protect the membrane from sediment and chlorine which will damage the most expensive element. The filter replacement kit for this unit can be ordered from <here>.

::I know, its been way too long since my last post. Please don't quit reading. I am back, promise!::
I am sitting on the fence of diapers?
I am frugal, OK lets face it I am cheap. I will drive to 5 different stores to find the best price and I love the dollar store. The fact that cloth diapering is suppose to save you thousands makes me think that I need to do it…. like today.
Have I mentioned that we live our weeks fighting diaper rash. EJ's bum is so sensitive. My heart breaks into tiny little pieces when I change his diaper and he screams the whole time because it hurts. I will handle poop for him and that cute tush to be rash free. Plus, we are on baby one so this could be an investment for a couple more… (::yes hubs I said couple::).
But I am completely overwhelmed, I look at blogs and read reviews but dear lord there are so many brands and types. All I know is that the covers are damn cute! That is almost enough for me take the plunge. Cute is always a win in my book, always.
So this is where you as my readers come in. Do you cloth diaper? Do you love it or hate it? What's your brand of choice and your number one tip. Please help, pretty please with a big ol' cherry on top!

Hi Glamsies! Today's post is of this gorgeous dress as you can see by the title! Stay tuned for deets....
Sooooo, I am in love with the design, style and fit of this dress! Do you like floral print? It tends to make you look more feminine and soft, which I love. That is normal the type of style i go for when I'm not going for chic/fun! I also paired this dress with a bold pink lip and a gold watch. I didn't want to accessorize too much because I thought that'd be a bit too much.
Did you like this look?

Eddie Allcorn: A delightful start to the season
Friday 21st April 2017
If one moment summed up Kent's perfect start to the season it was the unofficial "Tea" just after they'd completed skittling Gloucestershire for 61 at Canterbury on Day 3.
Victory took everyone somewhat by surprise – although at 37-9 we should have expected it. It was a glorious sunny Sunday afternoon, Kent had won and rather than immediately heading down the Old Dover Road, many Kent fans stayed put, sat contentedly in the warm glow of victory as well as delightful April sunshine, finishing off their picnics and drinks.
The premature but positive end to the first game of the Specsavers County Championship campaign was a delightful change from the norm of relentless drizzle, bone chilling wind, bad light and a dreary draw or careless loss. Unless of course we're playing Worcestershire in the middle of the River Severn!
Kent followed it up with another magnificent romp against near neighbours and highly fancied Sussex. Once again, the batting was pretty reasonable, but it was the bowling attack that did the damage.
The concern regarding taking 20 wickets to win matches has dogged Kent for years, but Claydon and Harris chipped in nicely in the first game and new overseas signing Wayne Parnell and Matt Coles did likewise at Hove.
However, the ever-youthful Darren Stevens has caused the most mayhem. His 6-22 in the incredible 2nd innings rout of Gloucestershire was a thing of beauty although the Gloucestershire coach won't have been happy to see four players bowled playing no shot…
In Sussex he was once again pivotal, 68 in the first innings, 71* in the second and then to top it off 5-51 as the chaps from Hove subsided from 59-0 to 200 all out in 50.1 overs.
Amazingly the win leaves Kent in third spot due to the equally positive starts by Nottinghamshire and Northamptonshire.
We might come to regret not collecting a third batting point against Gloucestershire. We next host Derbyshire who endured a wretched winless 2016 in the Championship and began this term with a loss.
Kent will look to keep their momentum going, such a precious commodity in team sport, but given we're still in April, will be keeping half an eye on the weather forecast.
It was great to be back watching cricket in the sunshine with the Grumblers at the Nackington Road End. It felt more like June than April and with the team making such a bright start.
Looking further ahead Kent kick-off their Royal London One-Day Cup campaign at home to Hampshire on Thursday 27 April.
With the format played in blocks Kent will then play all their eight group games in a row spread over two and a half weeks so if they want to reach a Lord's final they will need to be on their toes in May to qualify from traditionally the stronger southern group.
Surrey away will be tough and the final home game against Essex could be decisive. We can but dream…

Travelzoo goes deep in savings for baseball tickets
Three years ago, MLB reached out to Travelzoo, known more as a publisher of trip deals, partly because its readership consisted of 67% women, Jason Sheets, the general manager of entertainment for Travelzoo, told WalletPop on Monday. Given that women occupy more than half the potential market of fans, baseball told Travelzoo to take a cut at attracting more to the ballpark. And while Travelzoo was at it, could it bring in more men, too? So Travelzoo marketing mavens investigated price points and team weaknesses, and came up with a game plan.
"You can see on midweek games that baseball teams need help," Sheets said. "It's a matter of getting new people into seats that haven't been used."
Which brings us to Travelzoo's recent specials, rounded up for WalletPop in one convenient link by Sheets Monday evening. You might have to act quickly on some, but others might be around a while, he said. The Dodgers and Travelzoo announced Monday that Los Angeles was slashing prices by an average of 55% for eight games in May and June. Most are weekday, but many involve contenders and division rivals. For example, a $70 Preferred Seat Box is going for $30. The transaction can be completed through April 29.
Elsewhere in the National League, the Giants, Cardinals and Padres were flexing stripped-down prices, between 40% and 60% off. One of the more intriguing deals involves the Atlanta Braves, who are selling individual seats within luxury boxes. Usually the domain of high-rollers at a cost between $1,600 and $3,000 for one game, Sheets said, a seat in one of these cushy babies with all the corporate amenities and $30 of free food can now be had for $99 in chosen match-ups.
Sheets said the Oakland A's, Cleveland Indians, Pittsburgh Pirates, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Seattle Mariners, Baltimore Orioles are on deck with their own bargains.
You'll be doing the actual purchasing through the teams and their ticket-selling engines, so expect to pay those annoying fees. But they're certainly easier to digest when you saved a dozen hot dogs off the regular price, right?
Just remember to thank the women in your life for being the wonderful demographic that they are.

The blinding light …
The piercing sound …
The crash and burn …
Oh ! the earth-shattering explosion!
Shaking up the essence
Of mankind and humanity
In one go, in one shot
As time stood still
Flabbergasted at the turn of things!
The bodies flew around,
Decimated with disdain!
Oh! They were like worthless muck
Gutted and annihilated in a wink of an eye!
Silence rubbed on the face
Of pain, the calumny of human race,
Dictated by sinned warmongers!
The murderers in cold blood
As a generation obliterated
Saplings hurled to permanent darkness!
The devastation so ruthless!
The destruction so widespread!
Countless succumbed, paralyzing
The emotion we call peace …
The wounded now weep,
Searching in silence, the fragrance
That once came out of the bodies
Of their dear ones as they get ravaged
Day in and day out
By the abhorrent nightmares
Of the blood oozing out of their loved ones'
Ruptured bodies, forever planted
In their cursed memories!

In the context of Physical Mediumship, phenomena is the manipulation of matter by the spirit world sometimes involving the use of ectoplasm. There are many variations of this type of phenomena which is explained further in the topics below.
What is Phenomenon?
The word ectoplasm was formed from the Greek 'ektos' meaning 'outside' and 'plasma' meaning 'something formed'. As with all things in our world, it is 'born into darkness' and is extremely sensitive to light (especially in the early days of the mediums development). It can be produced in the pancreas or in the adrenal glands of the medium, and exude from any of the body orifices including the navel. It has a damp, earthy, musty odour and resembles a delicate gossamer material. It is formed from white and red blood cells, sulphur, lining from the gut, skin, fabric from room, sitters vibration and energy from the spirit world. It is taken from the energy into the mediums body and is connected to their nervous system. It has to be de materialized before being returned to the mediums body in the form of vapour. This is why it can cause damage when returned to the body too quickly. The ectoplasm must never be touched unless invited to do so by the spirit communicator. On occasions sitters may be asked from which bodily orifice they would like to see the Ectoplasm produced.
The same as Ectoplasm but devoid of life.
The spirit communicators may for example, scour the ocean floor for an old coin or small trinket that they can bring in to the Séance room by de materialization from its original location and then materialize it within the séance room. The item must be unloved or they can not take it.
Direct Voice/Independent Voice
The Spirit team are able to create a voice box external to the mediums body made with ectoplasm. A communicator from the Spirit world is then able to mould the ectoplasm into a voice box similar to the one they would have used in their own physical body whilst on the earth. As this is completely independent of the medium it is true spirit communication and does not pass through the mediums mind.
EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon)
Where voices are heard on electronic recordings. These voices on the recordings would not be audible to sitters whilst the recordings were being made.
Matter through Matter
It is possible for the mediums spirit team to manipulate matter and pass objects through objects. It is possible for the medium to be removed from his restraints and later be returned to them with no cutting or change to the restraints during the séance. Whilst the medium is producing ectoplasm it is easier for the physicists in the spirit world to de materialize parts of their body as explained by Magnus (through the mediumship of Colin Fry) in the following quote.
Materialisation or Manifestation
Where something is created or the appearance of matter from unknown sources. It is the transformation of something abstract or virtual into something concrete and tangible. Full materialization mediums have the ability to allow sitters loved ones to manifest from the ectoplasm and feel as real as they were when in this world. This is very rare phenomenon but without doubt the best.
The ability of the mediums spirit team to build a mask from the ectoplasm over the mediums face. Normally within red light, spirit communicators are able to impress their facial features within the mask and be recognized by sitters. Some mediums have the ability to allow the communicator to also use their voice box to speak.
Trumpet Phenomenon?
Séance trumpets are conical shaped objects usually marked with luminescent tape and open at each end. They are held at the smaller diameter end by the ectoplasm in a manner which resembles a clamp. Once the ectoplasm is attached the trumpet can be raised and moved around the room by the ectoplasm. The ectoplasm is always connected to the medium and the trumpet may touch any of the sitters, usually with an affectionate roll or tapping motion.
