Yes, it does!! www.debunking911myths.com A great investigative article done by Popular Mechanics. They then delved even deeper, and published a book. Very interesting reading. Debunks the most common of the 9/11 "conspiracy" theories. There are also seemingly "intelligent" people who still believe we never went to the moon. LOL!!

Faith vs. Fact (Creation vs. Evolution)
Mike Williamson replied to John T's question in The Club House
I can understand family being disappointed, but it is in all likelihood because they're concerned for your soul. From my point of view, you have one very powerful thing going for you....you're honest about where you're at Spiritually, and you're asking questions. God can work with that. It is when people can't be honest with themselves about where they're at with God, and don't feel like dealing with the uncomfortable feelings that go along with introspection. Agreed...The position they hold brings a higher level of responsibility. I wasn't trying to upset you, or suggest you were molested or anything like that. We are also told to judge righteous judgement. The point is to not judge hypocritically. If I'm a child molester and I say "Those dirtbag child molesters should be killed" that makes me a hypocritical judge, and I will be judged as I have judged. Also, Romans 13 explains that God has ordained civil government/authorities to deal with evildoers... (Rom 13:1-5 KJV) Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. {2} Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. {3} For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: {4} For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. {5} Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. You've got my prayers, both for your emotional healing as well as your Spiritual seeking. -
Yep, that's why they work. I imagine that if you use TOO small an injector with too large a machine, you'll be creating too much back pressure and will engage the unloader, but that's not the case when I use the 3-5 injector with the 8gpm machine. Works like a charm.
-
I pull plenty of chems with an 8gpm machine and 200' of hose. I haven't tried longer runs with this injector, but it works much better than the last one I had, so it may well work with longer hose too. I also am using the 3-5 injector rather than the 5-8, and it works great!

Hot water doesn't kill algae or mold...not at the temps we're using. It doesn't take me more than a couple minutes to downstream chlorine onto the driveway, and if I'm doing the pooldeck, I'm also usually doing the cage, so there's already chlorine all over the deck by the time I clean it. I can't imagine doing a pool cage with heavy algae without chlorine. As far as stucco, I have no problems cleaning it without hot water...I may to hit it with a 2nd dose of chlorine in severe cases, but it still comes clean.

Probably too big. Check the file size with the limits you are shown.

Why specify priests? Yes, there are a few priests (and ministers of other denoms) who have molested children, but the vast majority have not, would not, and feel as strongly against that behavior as you do. Why not just say "...and any person who has molested a child." Whether it be a priest or not. -
It isn't that the 3/8 hose and fittings are too small for the higher volume machines, it is that the water loses pressure due to friction with the hose. The smaller the hose, the larger percentage of the water flowing through the hose is creating friction with the walls of the hose. Larger hose, less percentage of water making contact with the hose, and less friction loss. Unless you're talking some mammoth machine much larger than an 8gpm, I don't see that you'd need to do anything except increase your hose size, if you couldn't live with the pressure drop. For 90% of my work, I'm running low pressure anyway, so using a larger hose would be pointless. For the concrete cleaning, I can live with the pressure drop. I just can't imagine pulling 200+ feet of 1/2" hose. I don't even like using 2-wire 3/8 hose!

Down below the window where you type your message there is a button called "Manage Attachments". Click that, and a window pops up that allows you to select the file. Click on the "browse" button, and go to the location of the picture on your computer. You can add up to three pictures. Once you have the file locations in the windows, click "upload". It will take a minute or two, and then the files should appear as links in that same window. Click "close window" and you'll be back at the original message screen. Type whatever message you want, and click "submit" just like you normally would. In the popup window, there is a list of the files you can upload, and the size limits for each. You may have to resize your pictures to get them to load.

Entreprenurship?? What does it mean to you?

Excellent post!!! -
My new brochure and flyer - take a look!

Probably best to email him. kbkgraphx@runbox.com www.kbkgraphx.com -
I don't use hot water for residential at all. I just don't need it. I would say that IF you are going to stick only with residential, then hot water would be a big waste of money. If you are going to pursue commercial flatwork, you will need hot water. No way around it. You can't get gum up without it, and you will work way too hard and get mediocre results trying to clean grease/oil. You'll use way more degreaser, and you'll work a lot harder, and you still won't get top notch results. So if that's the direction you're going to go, write the check. As far as additional maintenance expense, yes, there is that, but it isn't a big thing... Talk to Don Phelps about the line of hot water skids he sells. Good machines at a great price. You're close enough to be able to pick it up and save shipping. He's probably even buy you lunch! :)

Well, whoever is packaging for Publix, they've done a GREAT job of imitating Starbucks to a T. Did/do you work for Starbucks, or have some inside contacts? I would think that even if they DID package for store brands, they wouldn't want that information out. Just curious how you'd know that. -
Right! I was thinking the same thing, but couldn't think of a nice way to say it. Thanks!
-
Glad he got that server problem fixed...I haven't gotten notification emails from his board in well over a year, and have brought it to his attention quite a few times since it began. I think the biggest technical problem TCN has experienced has been neglect, so I'm glad to hear it's been fixed. Board traffic has been extremely low for a long time. Glad to hear he's back on track!
-
Is he getting 3500psi at the pump? You WILL get more pressure drop with 3/8 than you will with 1/2, but I've not had any problems with mine running 3/8. Then again, I haven't checked the pressure at the end of the hose. It works fine, so I've not felt the need to check.
-
Well good for you! How is that relevant to what happened? Would you like an award? Well, if you don't understand the avatar, how can you say it has no place at TGS? I hate contractors who take avantage of their customers, give them substandard work for a premium price. Does THAT concept have a place at TGS? Hate is sometimes a positive thing. So chill, dude! Some of us know Phillip well enough to know he'd never do anything like that intentionally.
-
As often as it gets dirty. Could be anywhere from a couple months in a severe case, to every few years...Just depends on the house, the location, the weather, etc. Every case will be different.

John Galt is a character in Ayn Rand's book "Atlas Shrugged".

Did you have a bad experience in school, or is this a more recent case of shushophobia?

At least it would be quiet.

I have to disagree that Libertarians, if they had power and control, would use the power of government to serve themselves. Sure, there would be some of that, but for the most part, if they are truly Libertarians, that type of thing would not happen on the scale you see it now in the two main parties.
-
Well, we all know you well enough to know you wouldn't do that intentionally. Stuff like that happens. Nice site tho!!
-
I mean, where Phillip told Mike that his website was ranked 0 out of 10, and that 3 was the minimum you should shoot for.
-
How do you look up the ranking of a webpage on Google? Site looks great, BTW. Simple and effective. And there are none of my pictures there! (don't you just HATE when you do something like that?)
