My QBs are Michael Vick, Brett Favre. and Eli Manning
i know it’s between Eli and Brett but Eli just got that contract and should be pumped
heres the rest of my tream
AND I AM NOT GETTING RID OF VICK!!
RBs: Adrian Peterson, Matt Forte, Thomas Jones
WRs: Steve Smith, Calvin Johnson, Benard Berrian, Devin Hester, Terrel Owens and Donald Driver
TE is Jeremy Shocky
K is Robbie Gould
and my D is New England
Since you dont have a clear starter qb, i would play the situational qb game. I would play whatever QB has the weakest defence(or pass defence) that week… not that i am high on favre, but 4 out of his first 5 weeks he does play Detroit, Cleveland, St.louis, and Sanfran. I see no reason why favre wont have multi TDs on those days.
The main question that you should be asking is, How would the idiots in my league let me draft AP and Forte?
6 team league?

What will be theoretical approach to calculate pressure at output of propeller block if pump motor is rotating at speed N rpm? like using maths and probably integration?what will be theory?
A pump does not create pressure, only flow, which is used to calculate resulting pressure from input power and output aperture cross section.
Power delivered to the pump is
P = 2 pi N T
N = Revs/sec
T = Torque in Newtons
P = Watts
Power delivered to the fluid is the volume flow times the pressure drop
P = (m^3/second) (Pa) = (m^3/sec)(N/m^2)
Pa = P/(volume flow)

I have a cover over my pool outside, and during the off-season it often gets a large amount of rain water that accumulates in the middle of the cover several inches or more deep. Can anyone recommend a really good, small, reasonable electric submersible pump I can buy that I can plug in outside and toss the pump down in the "pond" of water & pump it off fairly quickly? I am sure nowdays some companies make some nice little portable pumps that are waterproof & submersible.
Thanks for any recommendations you can give me !!
Thx TC & Oil Field, good suggestions - Human-guy, no can do what you say, to start with its round/oval, not square - there are no "sides" - also the pool is 15 x 30, I don’t know if you realize how large that is but there is no way you can pull that huge of a cover tight enough so there is no ponding of water on top, u obviously have no experience w/ this situation.
I wish I could remember the one I used in Arizona for exactly that purpose …..I think it was “little giant”….but I can’t remember …been a few years.
I had a retractable cover and would throw the pump in the middle {it had a garden hose attached to it} and pump it out…….. here is a site you can check.
Little giant is also readily available at Ace I think …Home Depot

You have Vick? Definitely don’t start him. I would say start Eli or maybe Brett… but I would wait and see how he does w/ his new team first.

Blood Pressure Disease, often called the silent killer; it is very common for a person to suffer from high blood-pressure without even knowing it. Blood pressure is actually the pressure of the blood against the walls of the arteries; and, is monitored by checking the pressure of the heart as it pumps blood to the rest of your body; and, the pressure between beats as the heart relaxes. Blood-pressure is usually categorized as either being high, low, or normal.
The initial symptoms of high blood pressure or hypertension are so mild that most people who associate them with other conditions or causes, do not notice them at all, or fail to take them seriously until there is a serious problem. The most common symptoms are nausea, fatigue, headaches, and dizziness. If left untreated, blood pressure disease can lead to more serious conditions, such as heart failure, heart attack, stroke, and kidney failure. Before we go further, we should note that abnormal blood pressure could be chronic and lead to the conditions mentioned. But, it can also be temporary and not cause any short term or long term problems. The most common causes of temporary high-blood-pressure include pregnancy, nervousness over a doctor’s visit, also called “white coat syndrome,” or birth control pills. Chronic high blood pressure has been linked to uncontrollable factors like age, race, and family history. As well as, factors, such as weight, sodium intake, and lack of exercise, that can be controlled. Some of the most effective ways to treat blood pressure disease revolve around lifestyle changes such as changing eating habits, increasing exercise, and managing stress. Yet, there are also medications that help lower high blood pressure. These typically include diuretics and beta-blockers.
On the opposite end of the spectrum is low blood-pressure, also called hypotension. Low blood pressure can cause a few more symptoms than high blood pressure. So, in addition to symptoms like dizziness and fatigue low-blood-pressure can also cause fainting, depression, and cold and/or clammy skin. Low blood pressure, if left untreated, can lead to serious health issues, such as shock. Shock is the term used to describe a rapid failing of vital organs that occurs without warning and is caused by long periods of low pressure of the blood. Persistent or serious low blood pressure is caused by serious conditions such as dehydration, blood loss, or a change in blood pressure medicine. Treatment for low-blood-pressure will depend largely on its cause.
Most people have normal blood pressure. Normal is when the body is healthy enough to maintain itself. The body has sensors that let it know whether it needs to adjust to combat a lower or higher blood pressure. In order to stay on top of blood pressure levels, it is important to have your blood-pressure checked routinely, and more often as you get older. Blood pressure monitors are easy to use and work by electronically displaying the rate at which the heart contracts over the rate at which it relaxes between beats. Blood pressure monitors for many people to identify high or low pressure.
Called the silent killer by many, blood pressure can cause serious conditions and lead to death if left untreated. So, it is important to understand the often overlooked initial symptoms of both hypertension and hypotension. High-blood-pressure has become more visible in recent years, and it is important for those at risk to check their blood pressure routinely make the necessary lifestyle changes.

It’s not often i quote from Phil Gould without having a go at him and it’s not often agree with anything he says at all. But boy have i missed my footy!
What a game to kick of NRL 2009!!
17-16 (lucky win storm!)
I was so pumped when big Dell made that break and put Cooper in to score and level it up.
But I don’t know what made Hornby think he could slot a field goal from 55m out, if he just worked in down field into the corner there may have been a different outcome.
And couldn’t you tell how the storm were missing big Israel. I seen the melbourne storm number 4 catch the ball in open space a few times tonight and anticipated a long range try…but then i realised it wasn’t Folau. He is a big loss to the storm
Dragons deseerved the win for sure!
But oh well…welcome to the NRL premiership 2009!!
What did you think of the frist game, Dragons were not at there best and still nearly won…promising signs for the red V!
Yeah Bill, Melbourne threw a tonne of forward passes and got away with it. Dragons threw 1 and got penalised for it!!
And how about when storm got penalised for a "chicken wing" tackle, then Cam Smith asks the Ref "whats a chicken wing tackle"
You were doing it all last year Smithy and grappling cost you a grand final…don’t play dumb mate!!
lol Angel, that was hilarious when Quinn played the ball the wrong way and he looked up and seen his team mates in front of him…his face was priceless.,
I was counting down the minutes till the first game. I’d been missing it so bad I was almost reduced to watching re-runs…
First game was better than I expected with the two refs. I didn’t see to many forward passes from Melbourne, and that line from Cam just cracked me up.
I feel sorry for Anthony Quinn, he was spun round on his head, played the ball to the opposition then when he stood up and saw his own team looking back at him was just such a priceless look.
omg and that idiot with the cow bell in Melbourne…That was so annoying I laughed when Joey brought it up that it was annoying him too.
I’m not so sure the Broncos will be the big force they were before for this year at least. After being under Wayne for so long his style has been the only one in the Broncos culture, then the shock of a relatively new style comes and I think it will be a while till the Broncos are back to their best (because I’m sure they could have put the Cowboys away better than that)
Totally agree that I hope the Knights smash ‘em.

I have a pump with no panel cover so it has no wiring diagram, i believer its a gould but it is one of he smallest i have ever seen, i think it used to run the fish pond in front of my moms house. There is no numbers whatsoever on it. All it has 3 wires on it, red, black and yellow and nothing else, no relay or capacitor so i do not know if this is missing electrical components or if it originally came like that. Does anyone have any idea how i could hook this up to atleast test it. All i know is that it work on 110v according to my mom.
i found out that is a popular garden/house hold application pump known as the vortex type. hope this helps with the wiring, really need help to get this hooked up and running.
The pump may be designed to work on 120V or 240V. This is very common. So one of the wires would be a "common" (used in both wiring configurations) most likely the black wire. Then another wire for connecting it to 240V, most likely the red wire, and finally a wire for connecting it to 120V, most likely the white or yellow wire. I don’t know what pump motor you have so I am basing this on my experience only. You should be able to try this without damaging the motor since you can hook-up 120V to a 240V motor it just won’t work. But don’t try it the other way around. BE CAREFUL and good luck.

If you have a septic tank, you probably have a love/hate relationship with it. Most of the time it saves you money, because you do not have to pay regularly for water reclamation services. However, when something goes wrong, it can be a costly and messy affair. People with septic tanks need to make sure they are properly maintaining their tanks, and they can do so with these basic tips.
Pump the Tank when Needed
You need to pump your septic tank regularly. The regularity of pumping depends on the size of the tank and the size of the residence. Experts recommend a typical home with a 1,000-gallon tank should be pumped every three to five years. If your tank is smaller, you will need to pump it more often. Pumping the tank removes the solid build up that is an inevitable part of the septic process.
One way to stretch the time you can go between septic Tank Pumpings is to increase the amount of solid waste that is destroyed by the bacteria in the system. You can do this by installing a Fixed Activated Sludge Treatment (FAST) septic system in your home. FAST systems create the ideal environment for the bacteria that are necessary to decompose much of the solid waste you send into the system. FAST systems house these bacteria in an underground, aerated, self-cleaning reactor chamber that allows for optimal bacteria growth. This unique system leads to a 90-95 percent removal of total suspended solids from the waste water.
Keep Water Flow Even
Too much water and too little water sent through a septic tank can cause problems. To keep the tank running efficiently, keep the water flow as balanced as possible. Too much water, such as what you may send through the system if you are doing extensive laundry, can put more water through the system than it was built to handle. This means that it can flood the system. Also, too much water flow can push some of the solids that have settled into the bottom of the tank into the leaching field, causing clogs and environmental damage. Times of low water usage can lead to the death of the bacteria in the system.
Keeping water flow even is not always possible. There will be times when you need to use more water, and other times, such as when you are out of town, that you will not be using as much water. The unique design of FLASH systems makes them capable of handling a changing water volume.
Avoiding Nitrogen Contamination
The process that occurs inside the septic tank produces nitrogen as a byproduct. Too much nitrogen in groundwater leads to contamination that is when it reaches human drinking water. This means that your septic tank could be a very real environmental hazard.
The bacteria in the septic tank work to neutralize much of this nitrogen. For this reason, you need to make sure that the bacteria are functioning properly. Avoid sending high amounts of household cleaners and other strong chemicals down the drain, as these can kill some of the bacteria in the system, causing more nitrogen to build up and leach into the environment. It is not possible to avoid sending these products down the drain completely, but avoid excessive use. Also, avoid using powdered detergents in a septic system.
If you have a FAST system, you will not need to be as concerned with nitrogen buildup. The FAST system involves multiple processes when treating wastewater, including bio-chemical, physical, and biological processes. As a result, the system greatly reduces nitrogen levels in the water that is sent to the leach field.
