Detoxification refers to the removal and the elimination of the toxic substances from the body. Various methods are used to achieve that and drinking plenty of water is primary among them.
However that is not the only way. Other ways include:
- Abstain from drinking alcohol and coffee: The disadvantages of alcohol and coffee are aplenty and one among them is their tendency to accumulate toxins in your body. Removing them from your diet goes a long way in removing toxins.
- Lessen the use of shampoos and other health care products: The shampoos and the deodorants, which are available in the market despite their attractive packaging and numerous tall claims, are replete with chemicals. The excessive use of these products has a detrimental effect as they build up toxins in the body. You must therefore either drastically lessen their use or use alternative products to avert from the fatal eventuality.
- Take less stress: When you are under overt stress, your mind as well as your body shows clear signs of that. In instances of overt stress, the body releases the stress hormone that may provide a temporary boost of energy, but manifolds the accumulation of toxin in the body.
- Include fruits in your diet: The advantages of fruits do not require an introduction. They are well known and unanimously acknowledged. The reason why doctors vehemently insist on including at least one fruit in the diet is due to its ability to cleanse the body from the daily assemblage of toxins in the body.
- Eat vegetables which contain fiber: Vegetables like beets, cabbages and radishes, those which are rich fiber serve as excellent detoxifying foods.
- Drink green tea: Drinking green tea is a habit that has recently developed but in little time has gained immense popularity. This habit is credited not only with weight loss but also has tremendous ability to eliminate toxins from the body.
- Indulge in exercise or yoga: Another way to ensure that your body is bereft of the harmful chemicals is by indulging in various exercises or yoga. Both the practices significantly improve the physical health and at the same time detoxify the body.
If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult the doctor and ask a free question.
Motherhood is a gift and though every woman understands this, only those who are infertile, really yearn for it. There are several reasons why some women aren’t able to conceive a baby naturally. One of the most common reasons is a blocked fallopian tube, in fact; almost 20% of female infertility cases are due to this cause. The good news, however, is that it is treatable.
Fallopian tubes are essentially two pipe like tubes surrounding the uterus that act as a transport mechanism between the sperm and the fertilised egg. If there is an obstruction in any of the tubes, the sperm won’t be able to reach the egg and hence forming an embryo will effectively be impossible.
There are several reasons why fallopian tubes may be blocked:
- Infection: Some of the most frequent cases that doctors witness on day to day basis is of blocked fallopian tubes that are caused due to an infection in the area. These could range from sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV.
- Pelvic inflammatory disease: This is an infection of the uterus (womb), ovaries and fallopian tubes, causing tissues to stick together, forming obstructions in your tubes. Severe cases may lead to pus filled abscesses developing in the ovaries and fallopian tubes.
- Endometriosis: A condition where parts of your uterus lining grow in other areas besides the uterus, such as fallopian tubes or ovaries.
- Hydrosalpinx: Formation of fluid inside the fallopian tubes is also known as distal tubal occlusion in medical terms. It can be treated through a surgical procedure called salpingectomy. Scar tissue, adhesions and damaged tube ends that may be caused through previous injury or surgery.
If you’re diagnosed with obstruction of fallopian tubes, don’t lose heart. Ask gynaecologist to recommend the right treatment protocol, that will help you to conceive soon. They will conduct a laparoscopy, which is a surgical procedure to look inside your pelvic area and at your fallopian tubes to suggest the necessary course of action. Some of the options may include the following:
- IVF: In vitro fertilisation is one of the most common procedures to help you conceive. It is a non-invasive technique which is safe and effective.
- Tubal surgery: Depending on the position and extent of the fallopian tube blockage, tubal procedures can be done using microsurgical techniques, wherein the blocked or infected portion of the tube is removed and the two healthy ends of the tube are then joined.
- Medication: In cases of infection, over-the-counter medication or hormones may be given to the patient.
Though being a mother is a wonderful feeling, do not consider yourself unfortunate if you can’t conceive. Think of it as an opportunity presented to you, to adopt a child and to make his or her life complete. Motherhood can come in all forms, so be ready to embrace it in any way.

Laughter is a type of response that occurs to you generally when you experience a funny or a pleasant situation. All the doctors also believe in the theory that laughter indeed is the best medicine. Laughing not only helps to cheer you up emotionally by boosting your mood, but also has complementary physical outcomes that are desirable. Here are some interesting and fascinating facts about laughter.
1. You are more likely to laugh around others - According to a medical research, it is a proven fact that laughter is generated by a person rather than a funny situation or a joke that you hear. It is the image of that person in your mind which is funny and everything he/she does or says seems to be funny for you. This is why you will probably laugh among a set of people rather than laughing all by yourself.
2. Fake laughter - A medical research conducted by Professor Scott has readily proven that the human brain has the ability to differentiate between a fake laughter and a real one. So, if you are in a group of people and somebody is trying to laugh forcibly and deliberately, then your brain is able to identify that person easily.
3. Laughter is contagious - As per the famous saying, when you laugh then the whole world laughs with you. It is a true thing and laughter is actually contagious as it tends to regulate a part in your brain when you hear others laughing.
4. Burns calories - Laughter is a good source of a physical workout as well as it burns calories when you laugh out loud. Laughing for around 10 to 15 minutes a day burns about 10 to 40 calories.
5. Leads to healthier relationships - It is a proven fact that laughing together with any individual help to strengthen the emotional bond that you share with that person. People who laugh together usually are able to trust each other more and their relationship lasts for a longer period.
6. Mood and Energy booster - Laughter is an instant booster if you are emotionally wrecked or suffering from a bad mood. It helps to cheer you up and make you feel good and confident about yourself. Additionally, it also helps to boost the energy levels if you are low on energy.

Check your sleep quality
Do you wake up with stiffness, numbness, or aches and pains? Do you feel tired when you wake up in the morning? Do you find that you sleep better in hotel bed than your own? These can all be signs that your mattress doesn’t provide the support and comfort that you need and should be replaced
Check your mattress:
Look for visible signs of wear and tear on your mattress. If your mattress looks tired, sagging, lumpy, dented or worn, it is time to retire it.
Check the time:
If your mattress is 7 years or older, a new mattress will likely improve your sleep. Also think of any lifestyle or body changes that may have occurred since you purchased your mattress. If you have gotten married, developed back problems, increased or decreased your activity, then your old mattress may no longer be the best fit for the person you are today.
check with your partner:
If your partner is tossing and turning all night, it probably means your mattress isn’t providing the support they need. And if they are tossing and turning all night, you probably aren’t getting much sleep either. That means the mattress no longer reduces motion transfer like it should.

Office of the Vice President
27 September 2017
The ban on the mandatory wearing of high heels is a welcome development, but there are bigger issues that must be addressed for women in the workplace, Vice President Leni Robredo said Wednesday.
VP Leni issued the comment in light of an order issued by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), which prohibits workplaces from requiring their female employees to wear shoes with heels higher than an inch—a response to calls for the occupational safety of working women.
“Tingin ko important first step iyong desisyon ng DOLE na pagbawalin na iyong pag-require sa heels, pero sana matugunan pa din iyong iba pang uri ng diskriminasyon,” she told reporters during a visit to Pili, Camarines Sur.
VP Leni, who spent years as a public interest lawyer, called for solutions to the continued discrimination against women, in particular when it comes to employment opportunities.
The Vice President noted that there are several factors that contribute to this, including the lingering perception that working women have “more disturbances,” which in turn is rooted in the a continuing insistence that they perform their “traditional” role as homemakers.
“Generally, mas preferred pa din iyong mga lalaki. Kapag sinabi ko na generally, hindi sa lahat, pero mas madami pa din na iyong preference lalaki kaysa babae,” she told reporters during a visit to Pili, Camarines Sur. “Unang una, dahil iyong lalaki, hindi nagma-maternity leave. Pangalawa … sa kultura natin kasi, siya iyong primary na nag-aasikaso sa mga bata, so siya iyong pine-perceive na mas maraming disturbances. Siya iyong pine-perceive na mas maraming dahilan para mag-leave sa trabaho, kaya maraming mga employers na iyong preference talaga mga lalaki.”
“Ito, matagal nating pinagtrabahuhan na unti-unti magbago na iyong ganitong pagtingin, at nakikita natin na malaki na din talaga iyong pagbabago. Although iyong diskriminasyon nandoon pa din,” she added.

Raine clenched her hands tightly, she fought the need to retort, feeling helpless and angry at the same time.
"Do you want to know where Torak is?" Serefina taunted Raine. "Don't ask, but find it out yourself."
After Serefina had said that, she strode away from the room with chin held high, walked past Calleb and ignored his displeased gaze.
"You shouldn't have said something like that. Your words will provoke her." Calleb stated in very low voice that could only be heard by Serefina. "We have agreed to keep it secret."
Serefina looked at Calleb briefly before she rolled her eyes dramatically. "Did I reveal our little secret, to your little Luna?" She asked sarcastically. "For God's sake, I don't even care about Torak, it just her behavior doesn't sit well with me."
Serefina waved her hand to dismiss the topic and strolled out of the house.
"Raine?" Calleb approached Raine who was dumbstruck. She looked like she just received a great shock. "Are you alright?" He asked cautiously.
However, Raine acted like she didn't hear his question.
"Don't take her words to heart, you already knew how Serefina is" Calleb approached Raine and sat next to her. "She has that rare talent to annoy every people that talk to her."
Raine still didn't listen to Calleb's rambles.
"Hei!" Calleb shook Raine's shoulder to get her attention. "What are you thinking now?"
This time, Raine's eyes fixed on Calleb's face as she voiced out her own thought. "Do you know Serefina before this? Or the story about her?" Raine asked out of the blue.
"Hmm?" Calleb frowned. "I am not sure that I understand what your question is"
"I mean, about the reason why she had disappeared for years and why she has this hostile attitude toward the mate bond between Torak and me." Raine rephrased her words.
For some unexplainable reason, every time Serefina was angry on her and hurled harsh words, Raine felt the witch vented out her disappointment about something in her past at her.
The way Serefina talked, as if Raine has something she didn't have and wasn't able to get it, yet Raine was unsure about her assumption.
Calleb gave some thought about Raine's questions before he came out with information that surprised Raine.
"I don't know where she went decades ago. Nobody knew about this." Calleb emphasized that Serefina had just vanished without single information about her whereabouts. "But regarding her hostility toward the mate bond that you share with Torak probably it has something to do with her past." He said unsure.
"What is it?" Raine leaned over to listen to Calleb's explanation. She knew, there must be something in her past.
"There were two things that had happened to her regarding this mate bond." Calleb started and Raine followed closely. "The first is related to her parents."
"Her parents?" Raine's mind replayed the images of Cassandra and Fabian.
The beautiful woman who was pregnant with her first child, which no other than Serefina herself and, Fabian, the witch with pure blood.
Raine didn't see the problem was related to them, Fabian was a loving husband and Cassandra seemed love him more, moreover Fabian even utterly showed his dislike toward the Lycanthropes.
This made no sense to Raine until she remembered Belinda existence.
Belinda was Serefina step sister that shared the same blood as her through their father. But, how could that happen?
"Yes." Calleb nodded. "Serefina's father was mated to one of female werewolf." His words confirmed Raine's suspicion.
"But, Serefina's father has wife and daughter." Raine felt unease. "How he ended up with female werewolf?"
"The mate bond." Calleb answered her with certainty. "From what I heard about Serefina from Belinda, their father met Belinda's mother, who is a werewolf, when Serefina was just five years old and left her with her mother."
Raine didn't know how to feel about this revelation. She couldn't imagine Cassandra was left alone with little Serefina.
When Raine was there, she could see that Cassandra and Fabian looked perfect together and the love from their eyes or how Fabian was worried about his pregnant wife, yet because of the mate bond, Fabian had to leave them.
"The pull of the mate bond is so strong." Calleb explained and when he watched the furrowed between Raine's brows, he added. "You don't have that kind of pull toward Torak, Raine. However, even though you don't feel it, you are still worried about Torak and feeling down when he ignored you, but only if you have it, your feeling will be thousand times worse than this."
So, that was how Fabian's feeling if he was forced to stay with Cassandra and Serefina while being away from his mate.
Thus, the last pure blood witch chose to leave his wife and daughter to be with his mate that resulted of Serefina's first bad impression of the mate bond.
"I don't know if this is reliable or not, but since then Serefina's father had never visited her and her mother anymore." Calleb shrugged his shoulder. "I don't know the exact story, after all she is centuries older than me."
Raine begun to understand Serefina's feeling every time she made a remark when Torak showed his affection toward her and how she often implied that happened because of the mate bond.
But, the mate bond or not, something that destined to be together would be together in the end, right?
"And how about the second things?" Raine asked, she needed to understand the witch, because something really went wrong with her hostile attitude. "
Calleb was hesitant when Raine asked about this, he looked around as if he felt unease if insignificant someone heard about this.
"I don't know if this is wise of me to mention this." Calleb slumped his back on the backrest of the sofa and folded his arms in front of his chest, contemplating.
"I will not say anything about this to anyone." Raine promised. To whom she would talk about this to?
In the end Calleb yielded. "Long time ago, Serefina had a serious relationship with Torak's first brother. Jedrek Donovan."

Ida Institute busts patient myths
The Ida Institute takes on common misconceptions about the challenges of integrating a patient-centered approach into day-to-day clinic practice in a new “Mythbusters” section. Based on a combination of research findings and the real-world experience of private and public clinicians, the new section demonstrates the benefits of patient-centeredness for both patients and practitioners and debunks myths that inhibit more widespread adoption of patient-centered care.
“As part of our mission to foster a better understanding of the human dynamics associated with hearing loss, the Ida Institute has developed a tool box of practical skills and tools that can affect positive change to more patient-centered care,” says Managing Director Lise Lotte Bundesen. “Yet, in spite of the implementation of Ida tools and methods in many public and private clinics, some hearing care professionals are cautious about the practical application of a patient-centered approach in a busy clinic. With Mythbusters, we aim to help clinicians understand the professional and business value of making patient-centeredness the core of their hearing care practice.”
Mythbusters details key aspects of a patient-centered approach including shared decision making, enhanced interaction between patient and practitioner, more sustainable, long-term solutions and increased patient satisfaction. The website also notes that implementing patient-centered care requires no large expenditures, beyond initial staff training, and ultimately lowers operating costs by increasing patient satisfaction and reducing return rates. For clinic staff, the enhanced interaction with patients can lead to increased workplace satisfaction.
Top Four Myths Deconstructed
Insightful commentary by practicing professionals, videos and research highlights help to clarify the ways in which patient-centered care impacts the patient-practitioner relationship and the clinic’s bottom line.
Takes Too Much Time
Shared decision making, a hallmark of patient-centered care, ensures that the patient and clinician are equal partners in developing a strategy for moving forward. This collaborative interaction helps patients to feel that their needs and preferences are respected and facilitates their ownership and buy in to the strategy. Research indicates that patient-centered care can increase the effectiveness of appointments and decrease return rates and– saving valuable clinic time.
Not Cost Effective
Beyond an investment in training costs, patient-centered care is basically free. Implementing patient-centered care methods does not require large expenditures on technology, equipment, or facilities. But it can increase patient satisfaction and improve care at a low cost. And, by reducing return rates, clinics have more time to see new patients.
Too Much Focus on Emotions
An empathic response allows the patient to feel validated and understood, creating the foundation for a trusting therapeutic alliance. Research has shown that the practitioner’s empathy is the most influential ingredient in building stronger relationships and enhances patient satisfaction and compliance.
Patients are Already Satisfied
Providing the best service and running a profitable private clinic requires more than simply reducing complaints. Patient-centered care has been shown to increase patient satisfaction. A satisfied patient is not only a loyal patient who will return in the future, but one who can benefit a practice through word-of-mouth referrals.

Introducing the Holy Litany Project. M.L.Kejara and Akina Rahman Khan hit upon the interesting idea of perhaps updating Allen’s classic “America” for the 21st Century. They’re sending out an open call (on Facebook) for new lines, new strophes – “We will try to emulate Ginsberg’s style..and update his work with our burning thoughts (contemporary thoughts) expressed in our own words.”…”Issues like the Zimmerman trial, environmentalism, gay marriage, legalization of marijuana, healthcare, information-privacy etc”, could, they suggest, “be best communicated by poetry, in the way that Ginsberg voiced his own frustrations (in the ’50s) in (the poem) “America”..”..”The (new) lines will be added by you in (a) pinned poll. You can add (your) lines in this poll for the rest of the members to comment on.” More here.
Kill Your Darlings, the much-awaited, controversial, Daniel-Radcliffe-as-Allen-Ginsberg John Krokidas movie opens this Fall (18th of October in the United States, on “limited” release) and here (in case you’ve not come across it already!) is the first teaser/trailer.
The Poet Speaks – Homage to Allen Ginsberg by Philip Glass and Patti Smith takes place at the Edinburgh Playhouse next Tuesday, as part of the Edinburgh Festival. Here‘s Patti Smith talking about her relationship with Allen (to Barry Didcock of the Scottish Sunday Herald newspaper).
Marjorie Perloff‘s memoir of Allen, in, literally, a Californian supermarket, we mentioned here. Here, in an interview for the Poetry Foundation with Curtis Fox, she expands on that, and on Allen’s “charm”, and on that poem (“A Supermarket In California”)
Anne Waldman has a new book out.
Mark Ewart recognizes Allen as a Gemini
East Village artist, Andres Bella displays, again (following display in the recent Howl Festival), his “For Howl”, (made up “entirely out of cut-up text from (the) poem “Howl””)
If you happen to be in San Francisco next Thursday, don’t miss Michael Flanagan at the GLBT History Museum – “From Beatniks to Gay Liberation – Allen Ginsberg and Queer San Francisco” (part of that city’s on-going Ginsberg-toast).

Nowadays, as we’re all getting more clued up about saving energy and being sustainable, it’s no surprise that smart thermostats are the new hot thing for those who want to control their heating and cooling systems more smartly. Thinking about getting one for your home? You’re probably wondering about smart thermostat installation cost.
In this blog post, we’re going to dig into everything you need to know about the cost of installing a smart thermostat, with some help from Energy HVAC Services – your go-to HVAC pros in Tarzana, CA. So, let’s jump in and discover why upgrading to a smart thermostat might be a bright idea for you, and get the lowdown on the costs and factors involved in getting it set up.
What is a Smart Thermostat?
A smart thermostat isn’t just your average temperature controller. It’s like a mini genius for your home’s heating and cooling. Using some pretty nifty tech and sensors, it figures out how you like your house to feel and adjusts things accordingly.
Plus, you can manage it from anywhere using your smartphone, tablet, or computer. Here’s what sets it apart from the old-school thermostats:
- Remote Control: Got a phone or a computer? You can tweak your home’s temperature from wherever you are, whether you’re on the couch or miles away.
- Learning Capabilities: Smart thermostats are pretty smart – they learn how you live. They pick up on your temperature likes and dislikes, unlike the traditional thermostats that just follow orders.
- Energy Usage Reports: Smart thermostats provide detailed energy usage reports that help homeowners track their consumption and make informed decisions to reduce energy waste.
- Integration with Other Smart Devices: Smart thermostats can integrate seamlessly with other smart home devices like Amazon Alexa or Google Home for voice control, enhancing convenience.
- Geofencing: This feature allows the thermostat to know when you’re coming home or leaving, adjusting the temperature accordingly to save energy and ensure comfort.
Benefits of Installing a Smart Thermostat
There are numerous benefits associated with installing a smart thermostat in your home:
- Energy Savings: Smart thermostats can significantly reduce energy consumption in your home. By learning your schedule and temperature preferences, they can optimize your HVAC system’s operation, only using energy when necessary and minimizing waste.
- Saving Money: Sure, a smart thermostat might cost a bit more upfront compared to a regular one, but the energy savings quickly add up, meaning lower bills for you each month.
- Ultimate Comfort: Smart thermostats are all about keeping your home just how you like it. They learn when you’re around and adjust the temperature for maximum coziness, and they save energy when you’re out.
- Environmental Impact: By reducing energy waste, smart thermostats contribute to a more sustainable future.
- Integration with Home Ecosystem: As part of a smart home ecosystem, they integrate seamlessly with other smart devices. This allows for voice control and the automation of various tasks, further enhancing convenience and efficiency.
Factors Influencing Smart Thermostat Installation Cost
Smart thermostat installation cost can vary significantly depending on several factors:
- Installation Complexity: The cost can vary depending on the complexity of the installation. Homes with existing smart home infrastructure or newer HVAC systems may require less time and work to install, keeping costs low.
- Professional Installation: While some homeowners may feel comfortable installing the device themselves, others may prefer professional installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the basic requirements for installing a smart thermostat?
Wondering what you need to get a smart thermostat up and running? First off, you'll need an HVAC system that plays nice with the smart thermostat. Then, a steady Wi-Fi connection is a must to keep everything connected. Also, a lot of these gadgets need a C-wire (that's a common wire) in your thermostat setup for a constant power flow. And just a heads up, some smart thermostats might need particular wiring arrangements or extra gear to work their best.
How long does a typical smart thermostat installation take?
Usually, it's a pretty quick job, around 1 to 2 hours. Of course, this can vary depending on how complex your HVAC system is and the type of thermostat you're going for. This time frame covers taking out the old thermostat, putting in the new one, and getting the basic settings dialed in.
Can a smart thermostat be integrated with other smart home devices?
If you're curious about connecting your smart thermostat with other smart gadgets around the house, the answer is a big yes! Many of these thermostats can easily sync up with other smart devices, giving you a neat, centralized way to control and automate things.

UCSD Northeast Plant History
The district was organized in 1922 and dedicated its first treatment plant known today as the Northeast Plant, NEP, in 1924. Growth of the service area which includes the City of Urbana, the City of Champaign, the University of Illinois campus, the Village of Savoy and surroundings, resulted in the construction of a second treatment plant in 1968. The Southwest Plant, SWP, treats about 6 million gallons of wastewater per day (MGD).
The NEP serves the City of Urbana, eastern portion of the City of Champaign, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign campus. Average daily flow is between 13 to 14 MGD.
Type of Treatment
The NEP is designed to provide preliminary, primary, secondary, ammonia, and tertiary treatments prior to discharge into the Saline Branch Drainage Ditch. The wastewater sludge generated by it and the Southwest Plant’s secondary sludge are treated and dewatered at the facility. A SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) computer program is used to aid the operations staff in maintaining and controlling the treatment plant’s processes. The following sequence follows the flow through the plant.
Screening & Grit Removal, Station B
Five large interceptor sewers bring the wastewater from the network of smaller collector sewers within the service area into the Headworks Building where it is screened for removal of rags, plastic, and other solid debris. After the water is screened, it flows into two, side-by-side grit removal tanks for the removal of sand, small stones, and other small debris such as eggshells.
The water then flows into one of two primary settling clarifiers. These tanks remove about half of the solids contained in the water flowing into the treatment plant. They are purely sedimentation basins where the flow no longer speeds its way through the process allowing the solids to quietly settle to the bottom of the tank. The solids collected from the bottom of the tank are pumped to a solids blending tank, KK1, for treatment by the solids handling processes. The effluent from these primary clarifiers is rich in soluble and solid carbon sources.
Secondary Treatment, Trickling Filter
Flow from one of the primary clarifiers, GG1, travels to Station A where pumped it is for treatment in the trickling filter. The trickling filter is a 1.6-acre tank where the pumped water flows through numerous sprinklers on the surface of the trickling filter. The trickling filter is filled with crushed stone to allow bacteria to grow on the surface of the stones. The crushed stone is large enough to allow a good supply of air to follow the water as it cascades through the rocks. Bacteria consume the carbon materials in the wastewater as it drains over the rocks that they live on. During normal dry weather operation, the flow from the trickling filter is returned to Station F and further treated by the activated sludge process.
Secondary Treatment, Activated Sludge
Flow from the primary clarifier, GG2, also travels to Station F and the screw pumps. The screw pumps lift the treated water to the activated sludge tanks. This plant uses the contact stabilization method of operating its secondary treatment system in a series of aeration tanks. There are four aeration tanks in series and the first tank holds bacteria, allowing them to rest and metabolize the absorbed food before they are reintroduced to the process. Primary effluent is introduced to the bacteria in the second aeration tank. The amount of air in each tank is adjusted by SCADA and the flow of water snakes its way through the third and fourth tanks. The activated sludge tanks contain a mix of microorganisms, including bacteria and protozoans. This process biologically removes the carbon sources from the wastewater as they do in nature.
Flow from the aeration tanks travels by gravity to four secondary clarifiers where the bacteria and protozoans can settle to the bottom of the clarifier by gravity. Pumps return the settled solids to the first aeration basin to further treat incoming wastewater. Since there are many bacteria present in the secondary process and they proliferate rapidly, about one fifth of their population are removed daily to the solids handling portion of the process.
The trickling filter flow train has two secondary clarifiers to remove any bacteria that may slough off the rock. These are used during a storm when the activated sludge process is at its maximum capacity.
Flow from the secondary clarifiers travels to the nitrification pump station and is pumped to the top of two nitrification towers, where toxic ammonia in the wastewater is converted to non-toxic nitrates by another group of microorganisms growing on the media in the towers.
Flow exits the towers and travels by gravity to the tertiary filter building, Station X. There are nine filtering units, each containing 12 disks covered with filter cloth that traps any remaining suspended solids on the surface of the cloth.
Disinfection & Flow Measurement
The filtered water travels to a Parshall flume, which measures the flow rate, before passing through the chlorine contact tank. Seasonally chlorine must be added to the treated water to kill most of the bacteria that remain in the water. This is done during the warmer months of the year. Sodium bisulfite is added to the final water to remove the toxic effect of the chlorine before discharging it to the Saline Ditch.
Excess Flow Treatment
During a storm event when flow exceeds the maximum capacity of complete treatment, excess flow is diverted to two excess flow clarifiers and disinfected.
The secondary sludge from the aeration system is treated with polymer and the excess water is removed by a gravity belt thickener or GBT. Primary sludge and the GBT solids from the NE and SW treatment plants are pumped into a sludge holding tank, KK1. The combined sludge is pumped into four digesters to remove some of the volatile solids in the sludge. By heating and circulating the sludge in the digesters, a gas mixture of methane and carbon dioxide is formed. This gas mixture is burned in stationary engines with generators to produce electricity and heat for the treatment process.
After about a month in the digesters the sludge is removed by pump to a short-term storage tank. The digested sludge must be dewatered to reduce the cost of disposal. The district uses centrifuges and polymer to separate the remaining biosolids from the water in the anaerobically digested sludge. Dewatered biosolids are applied to land as a soil supplement or hauled to a landfill.

Very Disappointed!! – I had called for reservations on a Sunday afternoon but there was no reason to, there was only one other couple in the whole restaurant. It used to be lovely, with beautiful table settings and wonderful food but now I have eaten at diners with that had more flair and definitely more taste. At this price range they are extremely under par. Not only was the food prepared overcooked, as in my scallops or the other extreme, a practically raw steak when ordered medium. When we complained about the steak, we were offered an off hand apology. At this price level fish should be fresh not frozen and I really hate plastic dishes on my plate when we are supposed to be having a fine dining experience. It is also embarrassing when you are taking other people out to dinner and have told them what a wonderful place you are taking them to and have everyone disappointed.
Must have been a different restaurant! – Recently dined at the Inn and was treated to a wonderful night out! Our party of six were seated promptly, and cocktails were before us in no time. My shrimp app. of 4 jumbo shrimp were just that, and their were no complaints from the other guests. My main of whole belly clams were cooked to perfection, and the three vea oscars that were across the table from me looked devine! Plenty of sides accompanied all the mains, and all were nicely done, not just thrown out there to fill up the table. A nice selection of desserts to end the meal and my spainish coffee was also excellent. I can't believe that other persons scathing review, although it was written back in '02. I give the Inn 4 out of 5, just because nobody gets a five. Give it a try, you will not be dissapointed.
Save your money – This place served us the most disgusting food I have been served in years and it was very pricy. The salmon was very overcooked - my thoughts were it was reheated. The vegetables - were served with a ladle of fat poured over them and overcooked - plus I asked for extra vegetables and received 3 asparagus spears!! When I complained the owner sent the waitress over to tell me I didn't know how Salmon should be cooked. I suggest the Somers Inn Chef attend cooking school in Burlington, VT and learn how Salmon is to be cooked. DON'T BOTHER AND GO SOME PLACE ELSE!!!

Starting January 1st, 2020, a total of 62 toll plazas over 24 highways will have RFID-enabled lanes enabled, allowing road users to pay using their Touch n’Go eWallet accounts.
According to Bernama, the Works Ministry announced this move as an important one toward a “multi-lane free-flow system”, improving the efficiency and experience of highway users throughout the country.
Motorists of class one vehicles will, from January 1st, have additional payment and pass-through options on highways such as the KESAS Expressway, Kajang Silk Expressway, and the Butterworth Ring Road.
Certain toll plazas along the North-South Expressway will also have RFID lanes opened, including: Bangunan Sultan Iskandar (Johor Bahru), Kempas and Senai (Johor), and Jitra (Kedah).
“The test run for the RFID has been conducted at selected toll plazas since 2018 and received positive response from motorists. To date, the number of RFID users has exceeded 830,000,” the statement reads.
That “test run” has been ongoing since September 2018 and has gathered a mostly positive response from motorists despite the relatively limited number of toll plazas that support it - mostly confined to within the Klang Valley.
Within the coming months and years, we can expect a much wider adoption of toll plazas opening their lanes to RFID users, smoothening the highway experience above where it stands currently with SmarTAG and physical Touch n’Go cards as their use on highways get phased out.

With over 3 million observations uploaded on eBird from India, it is now possible to look at interesting patterns that can be generated from such data.
Amur Falcons are renowned for their long migration route. Each year, they spend the summer in their breeding grounds in south east Russia and north east China before migrating south west to get to their wintering grounds near South Africa. Along the way, large numbers pass through India with the biggest congregations seen in the north eastern states.
Using data submitted by the public on eBird, we made an animated map to track the monthly movements of the Amur Falcons. As you can see, there are a few sightings of these birds moving through India in March and April as well.
Take a look yourself and explore maps for various species on this link: http://ebird.org/ebird/india/map/.

The First High Criminal Court yesterday sentenced a male defendant who possessed marijuana seeds, to ten years imprisonment and fined him BD 5,000. The defendant was caught possessing the seeds, hashish and narcotics (Alprazolam).
The details of the case show that the Anti-Narcotics Department in Interior Ministry received a tip-off on the defendant’s suspicious activities. An undercover policeman arrested the defendant, who was intoxicated. After obtaining a search warrant from the Public Prosecution, a force from the department searched the defendant’s residence, where four pieces of hashish, marijuana seeds and amounts of money collected from selling drugs were found.
Further investigation showed that the defendant possessed the drugs with the intention of selling it. However, the defendant denied that he was selling drugs.

Yeah, back in the day I was a pretty mean graph maker and powerpoint presenter at the big soul-less entity. Ever the prankster and in constant need to use my creativity to make people think I'm weird so they'll never find out that I really am...
I CONSTANTLY made powerpoint presentations with audio clips ("The End" by the Doors as the exit music after the last slide), pointless graphs (One graph was known as the "Assumed Results" where I literally made up statistics and presented them as real "assumed results") and with the use of pictures to purposefully distract and confuse people (I often put vacation photos in the background of the "This slide left intentionally blank" or the disclaimer that said "For Internal Use Only - Do Not Apply Topically").

Perfect Blend of Past and Present, Them vs. Us
This is a departure for Sara that might put her in the literary hall of fame -- Sara is a writer for Texas Monthly and lives in Austin, ( I think?). Thank you Book People in Austin for putting this one on my horizon.
This book about Okinawa then and now is beautiful and haunting and wonderful, and I'd like to go hear Sara discuss how she wrote it. It somewhat reminds me of The Good Earth meets Memoirs of a Geisha meets Eleanor and Park. Fictional story that promotes the idea of Americans getting in touch with their history and beautifully shows the history of Okinawa even prior to its occupation by Japan and then America. What is family? What is love? How does a young girl know the path to take? How do we deal with loss? What place in our lives do our ancestors have? How does our country matter in our lives? These questions are all raised, as each character encounters life, family, love and country on a grand scale.
Note: it does start slowly with a dual time line of teen angst that is almost wearying. But then bam, it takes off so don't quit it. This is not just another YA pining offering.

moments of magic
The complex relationships of sisterhood are powerful influences in my life and Sarah Bird beautifully captures the many facets of those oft challenging interactions in this story of 2 pairs of sisters, linked by family, time and the tragedy of Okinawa's history. For me, it also redefines the idea of a ghost story - in the best possible transformation and delivered by a stellar cast.
As a writer, Sarah Bird has come of age with this well crafted and ambitious work. Though it starts off sounding like another YA coming of age story, Luz and Tamiko are characters worth knowing.
This is one I'll read again and again.

The benefit for American viewers of the Australian forensic crime show Harrow is that there's no real wait time between when the series airs in Australia and when it hits Hulu in America. Season 3 comes out in Australia on Feb. 7 and then starts streaming on Hulu at midnight on the 8th. So if the show is renewed for Season 4, there won't be any extra wait time for American fans the way there sometimes can be for a foreign show to hit Netflix.
So far Harrow hasn't yet been renewed for Season 4, but Deadline reported that the Season 3 renewal came just a few months after the Season 2 finale. So fans may be able to expect news on Season 4 by this summer, after the new episodes wrap airing in April. And usually the wait between seasons isn't that long, either. Season 2 aired just a year after Season 1 ended, which was probably the plan for Season 3, but coronavirus delayed things a bit.
According to Deadline, the show began filming in November 2019, and production was nearly done when the pandemic hit. Per the Courier Mail, the show only needed to film for five more days in March, but everything was shuttered and the actors returned home. That presented a challenge when it came time to resume filming. According to the Australian news site IF, star Ioan Gruffudd was in Los Angeles and co-star Miriama Smith was in New Zealand. With Australia's strict international travel laws, it was difficult for the production team to expedite the actors' return. Eventually they were able to get into Australia, according to the Courier Mail, and filming was completed by August for a February premiere.
Australia has managed its COVID situation very well compared to many areas of the world, so filming for a fourth season would likely be able to take place uninterrupted. Perhaps then the show can go back to its regular schedule of airing new seasons every spring, with Season 4 potentially coming out in early 2022.
The show had pretty steady broadcast ratings last season of about half a million per episode. If those numbers hold up through Season 3, with extra viewership on streaming platforms like Hulu, there's plenty of reason to believe the show will return — and soon.

Boris Johnson has said there is “no alternative” to wage-fuelled inflation and interest rate hikes, as he urged businesses to pay workers more to address the supply chain crisis.
In a series of TV interviews at the Conservative conference in Manchester, the prime minister allayed concerns that wage increases for HGV drivers and other deficient businesses would drive up prices in stores.
His remarks came amid warnings of 1970s-style inflation, driven by labor shortages as a result of the COVID pandemic and the removal of free movement rights from EU citizens after Brexit. Inflation is currently running at 3 per cent and is expected to rise further.
Mr Johnson argues that, after Brexit, the UK is undergoing a “transition” from a low-wage, low-productivity economy dependent on cheap labor from abroad, to a high-wage, high-productivity model in which businesses is forced to make amends. Paying domestic workers and investing in innovation and skills.
ITV’s political editor Robert Peston challenged the prime minister whether his approach risked reducing productivity and fueling inflation, which could result in rising interest rates – and consequently housing costs and the price of lending.
Mr. Johnson replied: “In a famous phrase, there is no choice. There is no choice here.
“The UK can – and we can – do a lot better by becoming a high-wage, high-productivity economy.”
The prime minister’s “no choice” quote came from Tory predecessor Margaret Thatcher, who came to power in 1979, with price increases spiraling out of control by about 15 percent a year, and most of his premiership by reining in wage inflation. Dedicated to bring down the rates. .
In a sharp break from Mrs Thatcher’s point of view, Mr Johnson and other ministers have suggested in recent days that rising wages for workers such as HGV drivers are a benefit of Brexit, and the reopening of doors on cheap migrant labor on business leaders. accused of wanting.
Asked by the BBC whether he was concerned about inflation, Mr Johnson replied: “I believe supply will be in line with demand. That’s what we want to encourage and we want to encourage people to invest in it.”
He said investments in skills and infrastructure would boost productivity and growth and create a “high-wage, high-skill economy”.
And asked on Sky News if the inflation threat worried him, he replied: “People have been worrying about inflation for a very long time. I’m seeing strong economic growth. And by the way, those fears are unfounded. Huh.
“I’m seeing strong economic growth. I think the supply system that we have, the logistics, the supply chain that we have is incredibly smart and strong and the supply will meet the demand.

This is about a man who was on the right side of history. Lester Rodney, who died in late December at 98, was neither widely read nor much celebrated during 21 years as a New York sports editor and baseball reporter. He was a member of the American Communist Party when such an association was decidedly frowned upon, essentially disappeared to Southern California in the late 1950s and wasn't recognized for his greatest contribution to society until he was 86 years old.
But eventually, word got out: At a 1997 symposium organized by LIU history professor Joe Dorinson to mark the 50th anniversary of Jackie Robinson's breaking the color line in baseball, Rodney at last was given his due as the first white journalist in the country - and the only newspaperman in New York - to agitate for the inclusion of black players in organized baseball.
"I felt that was probably the finest contribution I made, to rescue Lester from relative obscurity," Dorinson said recently. "And thanks to Jules Tygiel [the San Francisco-based Robinson expert who also is recently deceased], Lester soon was on public radio and television and attended other symposia in California. People learned that Rodney had been in the forefront. His column was a beacon for sports-minded people who wanted changes in American society."
Born in Manhattan, raised in Brooklyn, Rodney was 25 when he talked the editor of the Communist Party's Daily Worker into starting a sports section - with himself as sports editor and columnist - in 1936. He spent his entire career at the paper not only "being race-conscious," Dorinson said, "but eager to promote outsiders."
Rodney made the Daily Worker the first white paper to reprint articles that appeared in black publications pushing for integration in baseball. He himself was the first white columnist to mention Robinson as a worthy major-league prospect.
He subsequently joined the Communist Party (which he left in the 1950s), which mattered more to the public at large than to the sports world. "To ballplayers," said former Newsday columnist Stan Isaacs, who befriended Rodney in the early 1950s and remained in touch with him the rest of Rodney's life, "he was a guy who knew baseball; they related to him as a baseball writer."
At the 1997 symposium, Rodney recalled thoroughly cordial relations with players "because I was a card-carrying member of the Baseball Writers' Association of America." But he slyly told of the time Dodgers shortstop Pee Wee Reese brought him to greet reliever Erv Palica, who had just been sent to the mound on five consecutive days. "Daily worker," Reese motioned to Palica, "meet Daily Worker."
Dorinson remembered reading Rodney as a child. "I grew up a Red-diaper baby," Dorinson said, "which is a euphemism for having Communist parents. There were two reasons for being a Communist then: If you were working class or unemployed, you knew the Communists were calling for social security and workmen's compensation. Or if you were Jewish and worried about your relatives in Europe, you felt the Communists were the only ones standing up to Hitler in Europe."
Still, on the whole, Rodney's civil rights influence was not based on enormous readership. "People didn't read the Daily Worker," said Isaacs, himself employed at the left-wing Daily Compass in the early '50s. "Only Communists and FBI men read it. When the paper had about 12 readers at the end, maybe eight were from the FBI."
Other reporters were aware, though, of Rodney's righteous stances. In a Rodney tribute he submitted to The Nation magazine in January, Isaacs noted that often-cranky Daily News columnist Dick Young assured Rodney that he hated all "Commies" but that he nevertheless liked Rodney, and once fed him information that Young knew the Daily News would not print.
Rodney, Isaacs recalled, was the only newspaperman to react when LIU basketball coach Claire Bee, at a writers' luncheon, spoke of the racism his players faced in the Southwest. Rodney produced a column on the matter the next day.
Years before, Rodney wrote that Joe DiMaggio told him the toughest pitcher he ever faced was Negro League star Satchel Paige, during an exhibition game long before Robinson's arrival. Rodney not only campaigned in print but also wrote letters to then-baseball commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis about Robinson and other black potential major-leaguers.
Yet when Robinson at last was signed to a Dodgers contract, Isaacs said, Branch Rickey "never wanted to give the Daily Worker credit. He gave all the credit to the Negro press. In fact, it was both that had pushed for integration."
To Dorinson, "the irony is that here is the notion of sports as an opiate of the people, an escape. Rodney and his readers felt sports was a vehicle for integration and social change, and there was no better example of that than the Jackie Robinson breakthrough. He had sounded the clarion call: Why not quality black players?"
At the 1997 LIU symposium, Rodney - who spent his later years as a religion editor and top age-group tennis player - said, "The magic of Jackie was that he changed people." But what finally had become clear was the magic of Lester Rodney.

Chelsea cemented their position on top of the English Premier League as Juan Mata inspired a 2-1 victory over London rivals Arsenal on Saturday.
Roberto di Matteo’s side moved three points clear of second placed Everton, thanks to Mata’s second half winner after Gervinho had cancelled out Fernando Torres’s opener.
Inevitably, Chelsea captain John Terry had to endure taunts from Arsenal fans after this week’s FA verdict that he was guilty of racially abusing QPR’s Anton Ferdinand in a Premier League match last October.
But Terry had the last laugh as Chelsea, unbeaten in the league this season, secured their first win at the Emirates Stadium since November 2009 and handed the Gunners their first league defeat of the campaign.
Elsewhere, Manchester City, Liverpool and Everton recorded wins as Manchester United lost in a thriller to Tottenham Hotspur.
“It was a big challenge to play against a quality side like Arsenal,” said Chelsea manager di Matteo.
“We are very pleased, we were excellent today and deserved the win.
Saturday 29 September
Arsenal 1-2 Chelsea
“Fernando Torres was excellent, his contribution was very good. It was right to pick John Terry, he showed his leadership again today.
“We pressed Arsenal and didn’t allow them to find their rhythm,” the former Chelsea and Italy midfielder added.
“We have one of the best goalkeepers in the world and (Petr Cech) that is why he is with us. He made two saves.
“We didn’t just come and sit back we took the initiative and took the game forward. We have a few knocks and bruises but we will assess them all before the Champions League game.”
The Blues took the lead in the 20th minute when Spain forward Torres produced an instinctive close-range volley from Mata’s free-kick.
After a slow start, Arsenal finally found some momentum towards the end of the half and equalised in the 42nd minute.
When Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain whipped in a low cross from the right flank, Chelsea’s defenders were caught too deep and Ivory Coast striker Gervinho took advantage of the space with a quick turn and blistering finish into the roof of the net.
But Mata put the European champions back in front as the Spanish midfielder’s 53rd minute free-kick curled across the penalty area and glanced in off Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny.
Gareth Bale scored one goal and set up another as Tottenham beat Manchester United for the first time in 23 Premier League matches with a thrilling 3-2 win.
Spurs’s first victory at Old Trafford since December 1989 saw them twice go two goals in front, with the teams sharing three goals in as many minutes during a frantic spell before the hour mark.
United’s first league defeat in 2012 meant Alex Ferguson’s side ended the weekend in third place – four points behind leaders Chelsea – while Tottenham climbed to fifth.
Brendan Rodgers enjoyed his first Premier League win as Liverpool manager, with Luis Suarez scoring his second hat-trick in as many seasons at Carrow Road during a 5-2 win at Norwich that took the Reds out of the bottom three.
Turkey international midfielder Nuri Sahin and captain Steven Gerrard were also on target for Liverpool, while Steve Morison and Grant Holt replied for the Canaries.
Everton remained the top team on Merseyside after Nikica Jelavic scored twice in a 3-1 home win over Southampton.
Reigning champions Manchester City came from behind to win 2-1 at Fulham, with substitute Edin Dzeko scoring the winner three minutes from time, moments after being brought on by Roberto Mancini.
Mladen Petric gave Fulham a 10th-minute lead from the penalty spot after Pablo Zabaleta fouled John Arne Riise before Sergio Aguero drew City level in the 43rd minute.
“The guys played a really good game,” said City coach Mancini.
“I was worried because we continued to play well and continued to create chances, but didn’t score (the second goal) for 87 minutes. I was pleased for Edin to score such an important goal.”
Newcastle manager Alan Pardew’s first match in charge since being given a new eight-year contract ended in a 2-2 draw at his former club Reading.
Elsewhere, Stoke and Sunderland both recorded their first wins of the season.

Starting from April 1, 2017, some income tax laws changed. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had announced a number of income tax changes in Budget 2017.
Here Is What You Need To Know
1. For those who earn an income between Rs. 2.5 lakh and Rs. 5 lakh, the tax rate will get halved to 5 per cent from 10 per cent. However, rebate under Section 87A gets reduced from Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 2,500. And no rebate will be applicable for taxpayers having income above Rs. 3.5 lakh. There is tax saving of up to Rs 12,500 per year and Rs 14,806 (including surcharge and cess) for those with income above Rs 1 crore.
2. Tax rebate is reduced to Rs 2,500 from Rs 5,000 per year for taxpayers with income up to Rs 3.5 lakh (earlier Rs 5 lakh). Due to the combined effect of change in tax rate and rebate, an individual with taxable income of Rs 3.5 lakh will now pay tax of 2,575 instead of 5,150 earlier.
3. Surcharge at 10 per cent of tax levied on rich taxpayers, with income between Rs 50 lakh and Rs 1 crore. The rate of surcharge for the super rich, with income above Rs 1 crore, will remain 15 per cent.
4. A simple one-page tax return form is to be introduced for individuals with taxable income up to Rs 5 lakh (excluding business income). Those filing returns for the first time in this category will generally not be subject to scrutiny.
5. Income tax officials can reopen tax cases for up to 10 years if search operations reveal undisclosed income and assets of over Rs. 50 lakh. Taxpayers who do not file their returns on time will have to shell out a penalty of up to Rs. 10,000 from Assessment Year 2018-19. However, if the total income of the person does not exceed Rs. 5 lakh, the fee payable under this section shall not exceed Rs. 1,000.
6. Holding period for immovable property to be considered "long term" is reduced to two years from three years. This will help save tax if a property is sold within two years of buying. However, the profit from the transaction will be treated as short-term capital gains and will be taxed according to the slab rate applicable to him/her.
7. As per current tax laws, for properties rented out, a borrower could deduct the entire interest paid on home loan after adjusting for the rental income. On the other hand, borrowers of self-occupied properties get a deduction of Rs. 2 lakh on interest repayment on home loan. But on rented properties, the borrower can only claim a deduction of up to Rs. 2 lakh per year after adjusting for the rental income. And the amount above Rs. 2 lakh can be carried forward for eight assessment years.
8. Individuals will be required to deduct a 5 per cent TDS (tax deducted at source) for rental payments above Rs. 50,000 per month. Tax experts say that the move will ensure that persons who get a large rental income come into the tax net. It will be effective from June 1, 2017.
9. According to the proposed changes, National Pension System (NPS) subscribers can withdraw 25 per cent of their contribution to the corpus for emergencies before retirement. Remember that withdrawal of 40 per cent of the corpus is tax-free on retirement.
10. Deduction for first-time investors in listed equity shares or listed units of equity oriented fund under the Rajiv Gandhi Equity Savings Scheme is withdrawn from 2017-18. If an individual has already claimed deduction under this scheme before April 1, 2017, he/she shall be allowed to avail a deduction for the next two years.
To curb black money, the limit on cash transactions has been set at Rs. 2 lakh. The Finance Bill had originally proposed the cap at Rs. 3 lakh. If a person receives any sum in contravention of the tax law, he/she will be liable to pay, by way of penalty, a sum equal to the amount.
While applying for PAN as well as filing of income tax returns from July 1, Aadhaar number will be a must. Get your Aadhaar card.

As a graphic designer for more than 30 years, I work with design concepts.
Since the fall of 1999, I have been working in metals and enjoy the tactile experience that occurs when transforming a two dimensional design into a fabricated three dimensional object of wearable art. I challenge myself to create works that are conceptual in nature and stretch the limitations of my own ability as well as others’ preconceptions about art. I like incorporating common and recylced materials — altering purpose and usefulness and elevating what is perceived as refuse into, what I hope is, art. Many of my pieces employ unexpected twists — an unusual finished back, hidden talismanic words or jewelry as a decorative element on a completely functional box. I strive to make a connection with the viewer and wearer that makes the work exciting and original and can be enjoyed for it’s beauty and quality.
I have an Associates Degree in Advertising, Design and Illustration from the American Academy of Art, Chicago. And live in sunny southern California.

Post # 1
Newly engaged here – finally!!!!
Fiance and I are looking for a nice outdoor venue in the DMV that won’t cost an arm and a leg (although budget isn’t super tight – just, well, conscious 🙂 ), either overlooking the mountains or water. Likely 125 people or so – does anyone have recommendations??
Also, does anyone have experience looking at NoVa vs. say MD Eastern Shore? Is there a price difference between vendors / venues etc?
The last DMV bride posts were from a few years ago so wanted to bump this!!
Post # 2
I’d suggest calling around to some of the wineries, especially if you want a mountain view. There are some wineries with gorgeous views! No ideas on pricing though – we got married in downtown DC, so the complete opposite of what you want !
Post # 3
JiminyCricket : Thanks! That’s what I’ve planned on doing 🙂 I was just hoping there were some NoVa / MD brides on here who could give some advice from their searches!
Post # 4
Second, I can’t speak from experience, as I got married in southern VA, but our DOC lives in the area and my first thought was the Atrium at Meadowlark Gardens, as she’s had a lot of couples get married there from what I see on social media.
It’s in Vienna (so no mountains), and not sure about water, or price for that matter! But photos make it look BEAUTIFUL and it should accommodate your numbers. (Wish I could say I’ve been there in person – been meaning to visit sometime!)
Post # 5
Also want to ditto PP about winery. My cousin got married a couple of years ago at a winery past Frederick, in Thurmont, MD (wish I remembered the name, but it was right off 15) It was gorgeous! The only thing is I don’t know if that’s too far for you, but it may be more cost effective than the immediate area? Good luck!
Post # 6
where do you live? there is a huge price difference between the nova/dc area and md’s eastern shore. my mom just attended a lovely wedding in bishopville, md.
how about deep creek lake area? then you can have mountains and water. or rocky gap.
there are gorgeous venues in annapolis. you are really asking for a really large geographical area.
Post # 7
My cousin got married on this riverboat: https://www.potomacriverboatco.com/our-fleet/cherry-blossom/
It was really nice. We boarded in Old Town Alexandria and cruised up and down the Potomac. Smooth ride, no choppiness. I don’t know what the cost was but my cousin did say the open bar prices per person were really good haha. He had about 100 people at his wedding but I think they could have fit a couple more dining tables to fit 125 without really squeezing.
For wineries, the best ones are near Charlottesville. Glass House is gorgeous and has a small lake where you can do the ceremony. Moss Vineyards has the most amazing views (they are pretty much at the top of a little mountain and the view looks down into the valley, all grapes and trees). Pippin Hill and King Family Farms are really pretty wineries too but they do soooooo many weddings. One of the challenges with that area is going to be transportation; there aren’t really any taxis, and while there is Uber/Lyft, the coverage might not be sufficient for a big wedding group. So if you choose one of these wineries, you should probably consider adding a shuttle bus to drive the guests to the hotel.
In Maryland, the Shrine of St Anthony (Ellicot City) has the most beautiful grounds. I can’t say enough about how pretty this space is. But it is super rural so you’d need transportation here as well.
Post # 8
Sorry to be so broad bees! I can narrow it down a bit more –
right now we are looking at St. Michaels, MD or Leesburg, VA. We live in Arlington so are likely keeping it within an hour or so radius. I LOVE Charlottesville, but have heard that prices are crazy there because it is the 2nd most popular destination wedding location on the east coast!
Post # 9
DMV bee here, not sure if you’ve found your venue yet, but it would help to know your budget. Ours is no more than $25k (for the whole wedding) and it’s becoming difficult to find a venue that wasn’t previously a plantation or confederate’s house. If that’s not an issue for you (really no judgment at all), I’d look there. A lot of them have beautiful grounds. I could try and point you in the right direction if I knew your budget and also what day of the week. I fell in love with Sweeney Barn and they’re almost 50% cheaper on a Thursday.
Post # 10
I went to a wedding at Stone Tower Winery in Leesburg, VA and it was beautiful!

USI has decided that there is not enough interest in its motherboards to continue.
The outfit has been quietly phasing out its motherboard business after losing orders from its largest contract customer Lenovo.
According to Digitimes, USI has confirmed it has lost interest in making motherboards.
It was now into making shedloads of cash from a growth in communication and network storage product lines.
It said its 2010 revenues are at the same level as it had in 2009, although that is not a good thing as the economy was down the loo last year.
Lenovo has been outsourcing its notebook production to ODMs from 80 per cent to 95 per cent. This left only five percent being done in its own factories. Therefore it did not really need componants shipped into its empty factories.
USI had already quit the Abit brand motherboard business and now seems set to leave the motherboard OEM/ODM market completely.
It is a far cry from 2006 when USI bought Abit saying that it expected its annual motherboard shipment to increase to more than 10 million units. It wound up Abit in 2008.
