New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Chiaverini's compelling historical novel unveils the private lives of Abraham and Mary Lincoln through the perspective of the First Lady's most trusted confidante and friend, her dressmaker, Elizabeth Keckley.
In a life that spanned nearly a century and witnessed some of the most momentous events in American history, Elizabeth Hobbs Keckley was born a slave. A gifted seamstress, she earned her freedom by the skill of her needle, and won the friendship of First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln by her devotion. A sweeping historical novel, Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker illuminates the extraordinary relationship the two women shared, beginning in the hallowed halls of the White House during the trials of the Civil War and enduring almost, but not quite, to the end of Mrs. Lincoln's days.
Praise for Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker "Required Reading . . . The story of First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln and Lizzie Keckley, a former slave who became Mrs. Lincoln's seamstress and confidante. After the president's assassination, Keckley created the Mary Todd Lincoln quilt and also a scandalous memoir. A new spin on the story." --New York Post
"Jennifer Chiaverini imagines the first lady's most private affairs through the eyes of an unlikely confidante." –Harper's Bazaar
"Chiaverini has drawn a loving portrait of a complex and gifted woman . . . Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker helps to illuminate the path on which her long and remarkable life led her." –St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"All the characters are brilliantly written, and readers will enjoy getting to know them. [Chiaverini] brings to life long-forgotten snapshots of America's past with style, grace and respect." –RT Book Reviews
"Taking readers through times of war and peace as seen through the eyes of an extraordinary woman, the author brings Civil War Washington to vivid life through her meticulously researched authentic detail. Chiaverini's characters are compelling and accurate; the reader truly feels drawn into the intimate scenes at the White House." –Library Journal
"Nuanced... a welcome historical." –Publishers Weekly
"A compelling fictional account of Keckley's life." -Bookpage
Praise for Jennifer Chiaverini and the Elm Creek Quilts series
"Chiaverini's themes of love, loss, and healing will resonate with many, and her characters' stories are inspiring." —Publishers Weekly
"Chiaverini has an impressive ability to bring a time and place alive." —Romantic Times Book Reviews
"Emotionally compelling." —Chicago Tribune on Sonoma Rose
"Jennifer Chiaverini has made quite a name for herself with her bestselling Elm Creek Quilts series. From the Civil War to the Roaring Twenties to contemporary settings, these novels have offered suspense, romance, and, at times, in-depth looks into the social, political, and cultural differences that helped shape a nation." —BookPage
"Chiaverini excels at weaving stories and at character development. We can relate to the residents of Elm Creek Valley because they remind us of folks we know—a cousin, an aunt, or a grandmother." —Standard-Examiner (Utah)
A conversation with Jennifer Chiaverini
Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker chronicles the friendship between First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln and Elizabeth Keckley, who was born a slave and earned her freedom through her skill with a needle. What brought this story to your attention, and how did it inspire your first stand-alone historical novel?
More than a decade ago, I was researching antebellum and Civil War era quilts for my fourth novel when I discovered a photograph of an antique masterpiece. Arranged in the medallion style, with appliquéd eagles, embroidered flowers, meticulously-pieced hexagons, and deep red fringe, the quilt was the work of a gifted needleworker, its striking beauty unmarred by the shattered silk and broken threads that gave evidence to its age. The caption noted that the quilt had been sewn from scraps of Mary Todd Lincoln's gowns by her dressmaker and confidante, a former slave named Elizabeth Keckley. I marveled at the compelling story those brief lines suggested—a courageous woman's rise from slavery to freedom, an improbable friendship that ignored the era's sharp distinctions of class and race, the confidences shared between a loyal dressmaker and a controversial, divisive First Lady. What I would give, I thought, to have been present as Elizabeth Keckley measured Mary Lincoln for a new gown, to overhear their conversations on topics significant and ordinary, to observe the Lincoln White House from such an intimate perspective. From that moment, my interest in their remarkable friendship was captivated, and it never really waned.
Readers may be surprised to learn that Elizabeth Keckley was not only an accomplished modiste and businesswoman, but also a published author. Was meeting a historical figure through her own words different than encountering her via more distant historical sources?
A few years after I learned about the Mary Todd Lincoln Quilt, I was researching a Civil War novel set on the Pennsylvania home front when I realized that many of my secondary sources cited the same work—Behind the Scenes, or, Thirty Years a Slave, and Four Years in the White House, a memoir published in 1868 by Elizabeth Keckley. Struck by the familiar name, I immediately found a reprint and plunged into her story, which told of her harrowing years as a slave, her difficult struggle for freedom, and her ascendance as the most popular dressmaker of Washington's social elite, including the new president's wife. Sewing in the Lincoln family's chambers within the White House, dressing Mrs. Lincoln for balls and receptions, Keckley observed Abraham and Mary Lincoln in their most private, unguarded moments, and with them she witnessed some of the most glorious and most tragic events in the nation's history. Reading the story of her life in her own words made her experiences more immediate and more compelling, and for a long time afterward, I longed to delve more deeply into Elizabeth Keckley's history, to learn about the woman she was beyond her friendship with Mary Lincoln, to discover what had happened after the closing passages of her memoir, and to uncover the details of everyday life in wartime Washington she had omitted.
President Lincoln is often characterized by his calm, thoughtful, and wise demeanor. The same, however, can't be said for Mrs. Lincoln. In Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker, you paint a picture of a complex, yet fascinating woman with mood swings and emotional outbursts but who also possesses a strong and confident presence. Can you describe your insights on her character? Why is she such an intriguing person, not just in your book but also in history?
Despite the volumes of historical and psychological research devoted to Mary Lincoln, she remains an enigma. She was the first wife of a US president to be called First Lady, and she was then and remains to this day one of the most controversial. Regrettably, descriptions of her tend to fall into the extremes of caricature: She is either portrayed as an unstable, shrill, vicious, corrupt shrew who made President Lincoln utterly miserable, or as a devoted wife and mother and a brilliant, shrewd, political helpmeet whose reputation was savaged by biased male historians. As a friend and confidante who observed Mary Lincoln closely in moments of triumph as well as tragedy, Elizabeth Keckley knew her as a real woman, full of flaws and virtues and surprises like any other. It was this far more nuanced woman that Elizabeth Keckley depicted in the pages of her memoir, and since Elizabeth Keckley is my narrator, I shaped the character of Mary Lincoln according to her perceptions.
Mrs. Lincoln chose Elizabeth Keckley first for her superior dressmaking skills; later for her confidence and friendship. Despite differences in temperament, status, and race, each woman made profound sacrifices for her country. Was it shared experience that cemented their bond?
Shared experiences certainly strengthened their bond, and for as long as their relationship endured, it was, for the most part, mutually beneficial. Mary Lincoln provided Elizabeth Keckley with opportunities for social and economic advancement she probably could not have even imagined during her years as a slave, while Elizabeth offered Mary the loyal, steadfast friendship she craved but had always found so elusive. But Mary assumed that the faithful Elizabeth would keep their shared experiences confidential. Loyalty meant everything to Mary, which is why their friendship could not survive the publication of Elizabeth's memoir. Elizabeth claimed to have written her memoir in part to place Mary "in a better light before the world," but since she was determined to write the truth, her portrayal was often unflattering. As publication day approached, Elizabeth worried that she might be criticized for revealing too much about the private lives of President Lincoln and the First Lady. "I have been prompted by the purest motive," she defended herself in the book's preface. "A breach of trust—if breach it can be called—of this kind is always excusable." Understandably, Mary did not agree, and her sense of betrayal was so profound that she abruptly severed ties with the woman she had once considered her "best and kindest friend." For the rest of her life, she rebuffed Elizabeth's attempts to reconcile.
History has a way of offering its lessons in the way of recognizable trends and patterns. Elizabeth Keckley's story was largely lost to history, yet it has recently been restored, through efforts to restore her gravesite, and now your novel. What do you regard as her legacy?
Certainly her writing is a significant part of her legacy. Despite the vitriol of her critics and Robert Lincoln's efforts to rid the world of Behind the Scenes, Elizabeth Keckley's memoir, so denounced in its time, is today respected for its invaluable insights into the Lincoln White House. The influence she had upon President Lincoln—not in any official role of advisor, but rather through her presence and conversation, making him better aware of the needs of the African-American community—and how it might have informed his opinions and thus guided his policy decisions is another. Another part of her legacy—perhaps impossible to measure—springs from her role as a teacher, not only in her later years, when she worked as a domestic arts instructor at Wilberforce University, but also and especially when she taught sewing, reading, and other important skills to the former slaves living in Washington's overcrowded refugee camps. She helped countless numbers of women gain the skills and knowledge they needed to build better lives for themselves and their families in the new world of freedom.
Entertainment Weekly has recently described President Lincoln as "having a moment." Steven Spielberg's acclaimed film Lincoln has renewed interest in this renowned figure in American history. From your experience in writing about him and his era, what has brought his Presidency back into cultural consideration?
Although interest certainly has escalated recently, Abraham Lincoln has always loomed large in the American imagination, perhaps because his story is so quintessentially American—from humble beginnings, through hard work and perseverance, he rose to success and renown. His tragic assassination just as the dawn of peace rose above the horizon only enhances his legend, because we will forever wonder what might have been, what else he would have accomplished had he lived. He consistently ranks at or near the top in national surveys rating the presidents on their greatness, their achievements, their leadership, and even those who disagree with his methods acknowledge that he saw the country through its most serious national crisis. The story of his presidency is especially relevant today, as the United States grapples with many of the same issues President Lincoln faced—matters of race, of the gulf between socioeconomic classes, of the role of government and the presidency, and of the challenge of fostering democracy in a nation of deeply divided citizens.
Your New York Times bestselling Elm Creek Quilts series has frequently drawn on history to great acclaim, and your passion for the American people, their struggles and triumphs, shines through. What is it about the antebellum and Civil War eras, especially, that intrigues you as a writer?
The antebellum and Civil War eras were a tumultuous and transformative time for our nation, showing the best and worst of humanity in stark contrast. Looking back, we discover great moral failings alongside true heroism in the struggle for justice, equality, and freedom. My personal heroes are people who face adversity with moral courage and dignity, whose hunger for justice and compassion for others lead them to stand up for what is right even at great risk to themselves. My favorite characters to write about either possess similar qualities, or are given the opportunity to summon up these qualities and do what is right but fall short. What slavery, the Underground Railroad, secession, and the Civil War say about our country—that we are capable of both great moral failings and tremendous goodness—resonates strongly even today, perhaps especially today, and as a creative person, I am drawn to explore and try to understand that conflict.
What is your next work of fiction? Can readers expect to meet another remarkable yet little known figure from America's past?
My next novel, The Spymistress (Dutton, October 2013), will explore the suspenseful, clandestine life of Elizabeth Van Lew, a Union loyalist who was General Grant's most valuable spy in her native Richmond, Virginia, the Confederate capital during the tumultuous years of the Civil War.

One of the key trends in hotel design in recent years has been a sharp focus on creating a hotel lobby that is a destination, not just a pass-through. If successful, such lobbies keep paying guests happily hanging out and spending money on site while creating enough buzz to attract nonguests when occupancy is down.
Hotels like the SLS chain - designed by Philippe Starck - resemble mini-vacation communities with high concept bars, restaurants, shopping and entertainment spaces designed around the beating heart of the lobby to fulfill a guest's every whim.
But what's a modest hotel to do? The best hotels offer both something you can't get at home and a welcoming sense of hominess. And the design plan for the lobby of a new hotel scheduled to open April 1 in Barcelona, Spain, is centered around the appealingly homey and ingeniously simple concept of a working bakery.
"Why a bakery? Because everyone likes bread, and everybody likes that smell," hotel director Alejandro Prieto told me in an email, adding that the bakery is located right next to the front desk, so that guests will be greeted with (and wake up to) the aroma of fresh-baked bread. Luxury hotels spend a bundle manufacturing their own signature scents. But what better way to greet guests than with the crowd-pleasing aroma of baked goods?
One of a mini-chain of Praktik hotels, the Praktik Bakery is located in a converted hospital with architecture typical of the Eixample style of its Barcelona neighborhood. With a striking wood, iron, and glass-dominated makeover from award-winning interior designer Lázaro Rosa-Violán, it promises to become a stylish, low-key meeting place or an unintimidating cantine for a solo traveler.
"It is a show bakery," Pietro said, adding that they also hope to attract locals with the theater of a working bakery, complete with a giant bread oven that will be visible from the street.

Of all the myths that dog the wolf, none is more widely accepted than the idea that wolves howl at the moon. Images of wolves with their heads upturned, singing at the night sky, are as unquestioned as a goldfish's three-second memory or a dog's color-blindness (both also myths).

Cook Spotlight
What we like so much about lorinarlock is that her dishes and aesthetic have a way of transporting us to her home base of Napa Valley -- she embraces seasonal ingredients that pair perfectly with a wide range of wine selections. And her talent isn't just limited to the kitchen. Something of a Renaissance woman, she's a prolific writer and cookbook author who also runs Hang Time Press, a small new media publishing company with a focus on ecookbooks, with her husband.
Her recipes are breezy and fresh, perfect for entertaining friends (preferably outdoors, in the summer) while plenty of wine is flowing. Take, for example, her gorgeously light appetizers: Heirloom Tomato Salad with Capers and Golden Balsamic Vinegar, No-Cook Swordfish Tostado Taco Bites, or Faux Fava Spread. She dazzles with her more substantial fare as well, from Butternut Squash and Roasted Garlic Galette and Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce. And make sure to save some room for her Peach Skillet Tart (with a couple of sips of moscato, of course).
Read our profile Q&A with lorinarlock below, and then check out her blog, Wine Country Cook, where she helpfully provides wine recommedations for each dish she features.
- What's the strangest food you've ever eaten?
It was something white and soft, kind of spongy-like in a beautiful kaiseki ryori tray served by kimono-clad women in a Ryokan on the top of a mountain near Mt. Fuji.
- What do you cook when home alone?
Lately, anything with a fried or poached egg.

Have you heard of the Harlem Shake Videos that are all the rage?? the next big craze! And I have all the how-to on making one...
but first let me tell you about the one WE made...
We got together with another family and made one - - it was fun to do! And now I need your help sharing it, cause Trevor randomly asked me how many views I thought it'd get and I'm all "how about 1,500!" and it's only at 50 - so I'm trying to prove I'm right :)
Ours is a spoof on Family Home Evening - a time where we gather as a family for a short lesson, sing a song, play a family game, have treats, etc. And so it's lesson time - and then it busts into craziness. Some things to notice:
--can you find me?
--there's a little mister sporting a mermaid costume
--did you see the random kid on top of the fireplace?
--Trevor is doing clapping push-ups
so here's the video (it's only 30 seconds!) watch in awe, then share with the world!
Now, on to How to Make a Harlem Shake Video:
--show the kids a few sample videos so they get the gist:
--FIRST - you start with a normal situation. Everyone is doing something normal and boring. EXCEPT - one person, who is doing a slight dance. And here's the catch - that person needs to be wearing a hat of some sort.
--the first segment rolls for 15 seconds. I suggest filming for 20-30 seconds, in case you need to cut some parts or whatever.
--SECOND - all craziness breaks loose. There should be lots more people in this shot than in the first one.
--give everyone a spot to stand so that everyone can be seen but still have room to boogie:
--use editing software to weld the 2 clips together. Also, to get the crazy section to look a little choppy, you can speed it up to 1.15 (1 is playing at real-life speed). Then you'll want to slow down the last 1-2 seconds of the song.
If you make one, post the link, I want to see it! If you have no idea what I'm talking about, start browsing YouTube for "Harlem Shake" and you'll be mesmerized wondering why in the world people are doing this. I wondered it too, and yet, here we are...

Phoenicia Bungalow, $189,000
Its cheery robin's-egg blue with light yellow trim drew us immediately to this bungalow-style house right in the heart of Phoenicia. And we were pleasantly surprised by its 2000-square-foot size (with full basement), since it looks a tad bit smaller in the photos. Lot size is tiny, not even a quarter-acre. And we would consider replacing the kitchen cabinetry with some shelves or cabinets with glass doors. We could also envision a lighter paint color; maybe bright white to go with the red floors. But other than that and maybe repainting the master bedroom, we wouldn't mess with it too much. Walking distance to town.
Beds: 4
Baths: 2
Square Feet: 2,040
Taxes: $3291

I agree, but I'd still like to have Wright

Why would they state in public that they were going to begin working on a deal for Wright immediately after the season ended if they know they can't do it?

Mark Cuban being the owner would be the greatest thing ever. And by ever, I mean EVER.

One issue with something he said though:
Michael Salfino @MichaelSalfino
And Mets lack of cash, I'm told, is the reason they deferred Bay. More than a baseball decision, they just pass that along to next owner.
Um, then wouldn't paying Wright huge money when he's not worth it anymore (at ages 36-38) be passed along to next owner as well?
Minute Rice: Put him in the bullpen, warm him up, and he's ready to serve.
If they were so broke they could have declined the options on both Dickey and Wright.
The situation isn't that dire.
Ninety percent Ill spend on good times, women, and Irish whiskey. The other ten percent Ill probably waste.

briefings: exposing the corporate capture of UN institutions
As part of our corporate capture campaign we're producing a series of case studies which aim to help open a window into the complex and largely hidden world of corporate pressure exerted over national and international climate and environmental policy including carbon trading.
The corporate and elite capture of decision-making at the national level is a key factor underpinning governments' failure to deliver economic transformation at the scale and speed needed to prevent the Earth's climate from deteriorating further and avoiding even more dangerous climate tipping points.
Find out more by reading our reports on South Africa energy giant Sasol, Brazilian mining company Vale and the International Emissions Trading Association (IETA).

Millar on the long list of athletes selected for "consideration" by GB. 5 of the following will make the team:
Mark Cavendish (Sky)
Steve Cummings (BMC)
Chris Froome (Sky)
Jeremy Hunt (Sky)
David Millar (Garmin-Barracuda)
Ian Stannard (Sky)
Ben Swift (Sky)
Bradley Wiggins (Sky)
Barring injury, Wiggins and Cavendish are pretty much locks for 2 of the spots, so that leaves the rest fighting for 3 spots. Before the CAS decision, Cav made some wishy washy comments about supporting the desire to keep the team athletes "drug free" and supporting the British cycling federation, but he can't really be critical of Millar given Millar's efforts on his behalf at Worlds last year.

Daily Fantasy Basketball Recap: 4.16.12 (Weekend Review)
Weekend Wonder: Wesley Matthews averaged 23.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.0 steals, 0.5 blocks and 4.5 three-pointers in two games over the weekend. He hit 50 percent of his shots from the field and 100 percent of his shots from the charity stripe, and averaged 2.5 turnovers in each of those games. Matthews has struggled with major bouts of inconsistency this season, but he's still maintained top 60 value, mostly thanks to his strong three-point making (1.9 per game) and thieving (1.4 per game).
Lines for Discussion:
Marcus Camby (4/13): 7-16 FG (44%), 14 Pts, 18 Reb, 4 Ast, 2 Stl, 3 Blk; since joining the Rockets, Camby has averaged 6.9 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.7 blocks per game — but he's injured again
Andre Iguodala (4/13): 3-7 FG (43%), 5-6 FT (83%), 11 Pts, 4 Reb, 4 Ast, 1 Stl, 3 TO; Iggy is averaging a mediocre 10.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.7 blocks and 0.6 threes per game so far this month
Serge Ibaka (4/14): 3-5 FG (60%), 2-2 FT (100%), 8 Pts, 12 Reb, 2 Ast, 5 Blk, 1 TO; through nine games in April, Ibaka is averaging 8.4 points, 5.9 rebounds and an insane 5.3 blocks per game; he's been a top 12 beast this season
Waiver-Wire Watch (four stars = must add; one star = keep an eye on him):
J.R. Smith: he'll drag down your field-goal percentage, but he's a solid source of everything else, especially threes (****)
MarShon Brooks: he's been sort of hot lately and is worth a look if you need points (**)
Jannero Pargo: he's hot and cold this month, which could be worth consideration in deeper leagues (*)
J.J. Barea: with averages of 14.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 9.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.2 threes, Barea's worth scooping up if he's still available in your league (****)
Jordan Williams: he's getting decent run and should be considered in deeper leagues (**)
Nate Robinson: he'll help your team with his points, threes and assists (****)
Brandon Rush: he's erratic, but Rush is typically a good source of threes (**)
Greg Stiemsma: he'll help your team's blocks (***)
Anthony Randolph: if Love misses the rest of the season, Randolph could finish the season on a strong note (***)
Chase Budinger: he's averaging 11.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.3 threes so far this month (***)
Dwight Howard (back): he'll be re-evaluated in 10 days
Paul Pierce (toe): day-to-day
Kevin Garnett (rest): he should be fine for Tuesday's game
Ray Allen (ankle): day-to-day
Luol Deng (ribs): monitor his status for tonight
Marcus Camby (back): day-to-day
Marc Gasol (knee): he hyperextended his left knee Sunday; monitor his status
James Jones (hand): monitor his status
Carl Landry (calf): day-to-day
Glen Davis (knee): not expected to play tonight
Nicolas Batum (quad): ditto
Roger Mason (hand): he'll have season-ending finger surgery today
Andris Biedrins (concussion): day-to-day
Ekpe Udoh (ankle): day-to-day
Steve Nash (hip): day-to-day
DeMarre Carroll (concussion): day-to-day
Zaza Pachulia (foot): day-to-day
Rodridge Beaubois (calf): day-to-day
Richard Jefferson (knee): out indefinitely
David Lee (groin, hip): done for the season

ANY male thread into a female plastic adapter could crack it over time.
First off a little background. I have worked with CPVC before so I know the basics (priming, cementing, etc.).
I have been living with hard water for almost a year and I thought it was time to try a water softener. So I bought a Whirlpool Water Softener (WHES30). Probably not the best, but oh well.
I currently have a 3-Valve Bypass Installed with 1" CPVC (came with the house). The problem I am having is that 1" CPVC appears to be a uncommon size. 1/2 and 3/4 appear to be the most popular (looking at Big-Box stores like Lowes and Home Depot).
So the water softener came with these 1" NPT Male Adapters to attach to the system. The manual is geared towards 1" copper piping so I need a little help. I figured I just needed to buy a 1" Female CPVC Adapter. I have not been able to find anything at the local stores (again, Big-Box stores). I have not yet pulled out the yellow pages and started calling smaller stores. Anyways, I have looked online and found the following:
My worry is that the female adapter is CPVC. Do I need to worry about the pressure cracking this? Would this piece work? Or maybe there is a better way?
If someone really wants to go in detail here is the installation manual:
Thanks For Any Input...
ANY male thread into a female plastic adapter could crack it over time.
I dare you to post this in the Plumbers Forum.The best thing to do is buy 2 1" galvinized or black iron threaded couplings. This will turn the male adaptors into female adaptors. Then use 2 1" male thread x 3/4" slip pvc adaptor. Now you can change to 3'4" cpvc. All parts are available at Lowes or Home Depot.
Galvanized should be outlawed for water line applications and black iron pipe should never be used for water lines because both galvanized and black iron rust and add iron to the water.
Tunarle, call a plumbing supply house (under Plumbing in teh YPs) for 1" CPVC or, use sch 80 PVC females or couplers but... If you follow plastic fitting installation instructions, you won't over tighten them and they won't crack. I wouldn't reduce the plumbing.
Click Here to learn how to correctly size or program a water softener.
CAUTION, as of Nov 12 2013 all YouTube videos showing how to rebuild a Clack valve have an error in them that can cause damage.
I just wanted to thank you all for the help.
I was visiting a friend in the Chicago Suburbs and happened to drive by a hardware store. I thought what the heck and stopped. They had 1" CPVC and also had a female adapter where the threaded section was metal (brass, I assume). It cost a lot more than I wanted/expected to pay, but I would rather do this correctly.
Again, thanks for the all the help. Hopefully, I will get it installed tomorrow. The last bit of advice would be what to use for the threading?
I have always been taught two revolutions of tape and then pipe dope. The new setup is the male adapter is plastic and the female adapter is metal. I welcome any other advice/opinions.
You should use compression fittings. There are actually fittings that will fit into the softener that have a shark bite fitting on the other side.
I will try to get some pictures of them for you. I can seel them to you and I don't know who else but I will find out.
I'll get back to you
I would like to recommend 1" Sharkbite female straight connectors. These have several advantages.
A. they're brass, strength is not an issue
B. they quick connect to the CPVC and can immediately be pressurized
C. they can be disconnected for maintenance
D. they seal to the CPVC on an O-ring. if your threaded connection leaks you can tighten the Sharkbite a little and it will rotate around the CPVC pipe. (no cutting and starting over)
Home Depot has a good selection of 1" Sharkbites. The female connector is about $8.50 and looks like this:
I use Sharkbites on exposed plumbing in my basement and have found them absolutely reliable and leak-free.
I use a combination of Teflon tape, a wicked blue dope I've mentioned in other threads (Hercules BLOCK), and moderate torque when tightening. So far so good.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"My fiance and I picked this save the date out together. We liked that we could change the color on the bottom to the one closest to our wedding colors. The printing and paper quality was nice. I wasn't sure about the sizing, (got the smallest one) and realized they were very small. I really liked that they were post cards so we could use cheaper postage and saved some money. I would recommend wedding paper divas to any of my friends even if it's just for an event!"
"We ordered these save-the-date postcards, and were thrilled with the final product! The available personalization options were perfect, and we were grateful for the complementary review of our layout and text prior to printing. The cards were printed and shipped within days of ordering, and we were able to mail them out the same week! We've already gotten feedback from friends and family on how beautifully the cards turned out."
"I ordered this save the date with a custom color of Navy blue and a poem on the back. I love that they send you a proof of your order before they charge you and print them. I got to see my custom color and proof read my text. The proof was sent to me within a couple days, and after I made changes to the back the new proof was emailed to me just as fast. The order was shipped to me a day early. I am getting lots of compliments on them about how cute they are and that they look like a book cover. I will definitely be ordering my invites from here :)"
"My husband and I recreated this sample, by taking some pictures on a snowy day. It was an inexpensive way to have an awesome looking Save The Date. I love how it looks like the cover of a Nicholas Sparks novel."
"My guests simply loved their Save the Date cards! Most said they had never seen such lovely cards and they loved the photo & the calendar. They are gorgeous to frame as a keepsake!"

MOUNT PLEASANT - Following a bye week, the men's and women's cross country teams will travel to Minnesota for the Roy Griak Invitational, which will be loaded with top-level competition from around the country.
Held at the hilly Les Bolstad Golf Course in Minneapolis, Minn., the men's 8k race (1:20 p.m. EST) and the women's 6k race (2:10 p.m. EST) will be the most difficult for the Chippewas this season, and will be the first scored meet of the season. Team scores will be determined by the cumulative finishes of the top five runners, with the lowest score taking the team title.
Live coverage from FloTrack will be available here.
The women's field will feature 250 runners on 19 teams, while the men's race will have 170 runners and 15 teams.
In 2011, Lawi Lalang, the eventual NCAA individual champion from Arizona, won the men's race.
As teams with national championship qualification aspirations, the meet will be a measuring stick meet for both the men's and women's teams.
Sophomore Kyle Stacks enters as the top runner on the men's side after finishing ninth in 25:07 at the 8k Spartan Invitational two weekends ago, followed by senior Jason Drudge in 20th in 25:20 and senior Matt Lutzke in 53rd in 25:55.
Senior Nathan Sanchez; juniors Nathan Huff and Zach Tranter; sophomores Ethan Lievense, Ben Wynsma and Tanner Pesonen; redshirt freshmen Nate Ghena and Monte Scott; and freshman Spencer Nousain will also be key in competing for spots in the scoring lineup.
The men are ranked 11th in the USTFCCCA Great Lakes Region, and third among MAC teams behind Eastern Michigan (7) and Miami (OH) (10).
The women will be led by junior Krista Parks, who finished 22nd at the 6k Spartan Invitational in 21:55, and freshman Bailey Parmelee, who crossed the line 47th in 22:35 her first collegiate 6k.
Senior Charnele Lyons, who finished first-team All-MAC in 2011, will make her season debut. She will compete for spots in the scoring lineup with seniors Maddie Ribant, Veronica Garcia and Jacquelyn McEnhill; junior Shelby Thren; sophomores Kelly Schubert and Katelyn Maylee; redshirt freshmen Alyssa Dyer, Kelly Schubert and Jacquee Overbeek; and freshman Brooke Morgan.
The women are 15th in the Great Lakes Region, and fifth in the MAC behind Toledo (4), Ohio (8), Miami (OH) (11), and Akron (14).

Strike Three!
February 2, 2013
By Sam Taber, TMC Sports Information Intern
The Master's College Mustangs split their doubleheader with the San Diego Christian College Hawks Saturday afternoon, losing the first game 3-0 and winning the second 7-3. The Mustangs are 6-3 overall and 3-3 in the GSAC.
In the opener, Hawks' starting pitcher Gabriel Hemmer threw a complete game, shutting out the Mustangs and fanning an impressive 11 batters along the way. With the win, Hemmer's record improved to 2-0. The loss went to Mustang pitcher James Scott (Canyon Country, CA), whose record dropped to 1-2.
The Hawks jumped on Scott early when Garrison McLagen drilled a two-run homer to right field in the top of the first. The Hawks' third run came in the top of the third after a throwing error by catcher Chris Talley (Simi Valley, CA) allowed the Hawks to Richard Aguirre on third base with only one out. He eventually scored on a sacrifice fly.
The Mustangs' two through six hitters struggled during the first game, recording no hits and a combined nine strikeouts. All seven of the Mustang hits came from the seven-eight-nine hitters and the leadoff man.
In the nightcap, Mustang pitcher Tyler Elrod (Modesto, CA) recorded his first win in the blue and gold, throwing six innings and striking out six while only walking two. Cody Harris (Lakewood, CA) pitched the last inning for the Mustangs, striking out two of the final three San Diego batters.
Seven different Mustangs combined to score the team's seven runs, three of them coming across late in the game during a long sixth inning. Caleb Halverson (Temple City, CA), Joe Riddle (Bakersfield, CA), and Sam Robison (San Juan Capistrano, CA) each had doubles in the second game. Though certainly a decisive win for the Mustangs, the damage could have been greater since the Mustangs stranded six baserunners.
The Hawks used six pitchers in their loss after the starter, Kelvan Pilot (1-2), could only make it through three and two-thirds innings.
The Hawks did manage to score three times but struggled the for most of the game to bring their baserunners around, leaving five on base.
When asked about today's game, Mustang head coach Monte Brooks said that he was encouraged by how his team fought back in the second game, playing with more intensity and drive. TMC pitching and defense, according to Brooks, "has just been phenomenal."
The Mustangs continue their long, season-opening homestand on Tuesday, welcoming Claremont to Reese Field. Claremont comes into Tuesday's game having played -- and lost -- only one game so far this season. Coach Brooks says that he looks forward to playing the mid-week game against the "well-coached" Stags

Study finds parents don't understand importance of growth charts/BMI, Children's National pediatrician stresses the need for clear communication about seriousness of overweight children
For immediate release: October 5, 2009
Washington, DC— Doctors who rely on height and weight growth charts to explain the seriousness of a child being overweight may not be reaching the child's parents, a new study in Pediatrics finds. In an accompanying editorial, Children's National Medical Center pediatrician and obesity expert Anjali Jain, MD, says that pediatricians must find more effective ways to illustrate to parents the difference between typical patterns of growth and the growth or development of their child.
"We, as physicians, have a responsibility to help parents understand what these charts and percentiles mean so that they can make the best decisions possible for the health of their children," said Dr. Jain. "If the numbers themselves are not clear, we must do a better job finding tangible ways to explain the seriousness of the story the numbers should tell."
As an example of parents' lack of information about the figures, she writes that "when body mass index percentiles began to appear on report cards in some states in an effort to increase awareness of childhood obesity risk, parents sometimes mistook high values to be desirable. A BMI percentile of 95 was regarded the way other 'A' grades were considered, as optimal, not unhealthy."
With or without the use of growth charts and body-mass-indices, pediatricians can find other, more tangible methods to help parents track the growth and development of their child, including:
By providing parents with tools they can use and understand, doctors can help families identify early warning signs and intervene with diet and exercise before a child becomes dangerously overweight.

Striplin — chair of the town's police and public safety committee — said deputies from the Calhoun County Sheriff's Department have stepped up patrols, which is helping return a sense of safety among the residents.
"On your way in here today I'm sure you've noticed," Striplin told the council. "The police presence on MLK has really picked up."
A June 9 shooting left two bullet holes in the window of a Hobson City woman's car. The woman and her 5-year-old child, in the car at the time, were unharmed. The Sheriff's Department is asking for help identifying those involved.
Deputies are also investigating another shooting that took place June 4 when a 28-year-old woman reported to police that she found bullet holes in her SUV, which was parked on Martin Luther King Drive.
Meanwhile, in an effort to bring in some much-needed cash to the town, letters to Hobson City residents who have outstanding bills toward their town-supplied garbage collection service will be mailed out July 1.
"The list has been reviewed by the mayor," said Town Clerk Sheila Jones at the council meeting. Mayor Alberta McCrory wasn't at the meeting.
Residents who receive a letter are asked to contact Town Hall to make arrangements to pay their debts, Jones said. The outstanding debt to the town is a very real problem, Jones explained.
"We have too many arrears," Jones said. "We have a little over $24,000."
The town's garbage services serves about 178 customers, and some of the debts go back many years, McCrory has said.
In another matter, council members were given copies of a manual containing updated personnel policies and procedures for town employees. The council may vote at its next meeting to approve the changes, which include more detailed job descriptions and responsibilities for those employees.
The next council meeting is scheduled for July 8 at 6:30 p.m. at Town Hall.

Editor's note: This story has been modified from the version originally published to correct the name of Hobson City's town clerk. She is Sheila Jones.
