Yields about 11 cups
This rich, complex sauce smells and tastes like fall—with its earthy mushrooms, smoky pancetta, and sweet woodsy rosemary. Serve it over pasta, ideally pappardelle, and freeze any extra (you'll have a lot of sauce). This recipe uses a smaller quantity of milk than is traditional, since milk can curdle in the slow cooker. Be sure to use high-quality pancetta and feel free to vary the kind of mushroom.
Add the dried mushrooms to a small bowl and cover with very hot water; let sit for 15 minutes, then drain and finely chop. In a large bowl, mash the bread and milk together until a smooth paste forms. Gently knead in the beef, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
Add the butter to a medium-size, heavy saucepan and heat over medium-high heat. When melted, add the pancetta and sauté until browned, about 8 minutes. Pour off all but about 2 Tbs. of the fat. Add the meat mixture, and cook until browned, about 10 minutes. Add the fresh porcini and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the dried mushrooms, carrots, celery, onions, garlic, and nutmeg. Sauté until the vegetables are slightly softened and aromatic, about 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and flour, and cook until the flour is no longer visible, no more than 1 minute. With the pan off the heat, carefully add the wine. Then return the pan to high heat and stir well, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release any food bits. Cook for 2 minutes, then stir in the tomatoes and stock, and cook for another minute. Pour into the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low until the meat has cooked through and the sauce is aromatic and very flavorful, about 6 hours. Spoon the fat off the surface, stir in the rosemary, break up the meat more with a fork, and serve with pasta.
by _eileen,
2/20/2014It is very flavorful and makes a lot! I used ground chicken and spelt bread hoping to make it a bit healthier. In addition I used another reviewer's suggestion of adding red pepper flakes, at least 2 teaspoons, and 3 pieces of lemon zest. Being in a hurry, I cooked it on high for3 hrs, worked just fine, but seemed a bit dry so I added the remainder of the 15oz can of diced fire roasted tomatoes, another 15 oz can of tomatoes, the remaining liquid from soaking the mushrooms and about 1/3c more stock. I will definitely make it again!
by RobinHoode,
1/13/2014Good....not great! To get great I suggest that you double the garlic from 1 to 2 Tbs and you make a paste out of it with a 1/4 tsp of the salt before adding it to the saucepan. Paste-ing fresh garlic adds an entirely different flavor to this type sauce (actually to most sauces). This is one of THE best tips taught by Jacques Pepin and I swear by it too! You get a nutty, buttery garlicky flavor without the harsh,assertive bite of garlic that can ruin many a slow cooker dish.
I also suggest that you take this recipe even higher with the addition of lemon zest and red pepper flakes, to taste. You will be glad that you did!
One more tip- try a good quality Merlot instead of a Cab. Enjoy!

11/19/2013I love Bolognese sauce, and this is easily one of the best I've ever made!
by ICookForFour,
by kimbluekat,
10/23/2013Very flavorful! I was not sure when to add the "bread paste" though? I ended up adding it to the already cooked meat. Also I did finish the sauce in the oven and the directions to "add more liquid" were not exactly helpful. I used 14oz of chicken broth and the same size can of diced tomatoes. I used fresh portabella mushrooms and sauteed the veggies first in the pancetta fat - set aside in a bowl then browned the meats, drained and added veggies back at the end. I added about half the amount of fresh rosemary and was glad I didn't add more - but that is my preference. I have eaten it as is, on pasta and with spaghetti squash. There are also two bags in the freezer!
by superkevlar,
10/21/2013I used Shitake mushrooms instead of Porcini. I also left out the Rosemary leaves. Still... it was a delicious and flavorful meat sauce enjoyed by a family of picky eaters. I'll make it again for certain.

If you have a noncompete agreement with your employer, don't expect the deal to disappear if the company is involved in a merger.
HR.BLR.com reports that the Ohio Supreme Court recently ruled that noncompetes automatically transfer when a company takes part in a merger.
In the case, four insurance company employees agreed not to compete with their employer for two years after their employment terminated. The employer merged with another company, and these employees remained employed with the newly formed company, according to the website.About four years later, though, "the employees left to work for a competitor and solicited their former clients," HR.BLR.com reports. The employer sued, claiming the employees breached the noncompete agreements."In its initial ruling, the Supreme Court found in favor of the former employees, reasoning that the noncompetes expired before the employees left to work for the competitor," according to the website.But when reconsidering the case, the court "ruled that under Ohio law, the merged company became part of the new company and the merged entity could enforce the noncompetes as though it 'had stepped into the shoes of the absorbed company.'"
About 21% new members named to the boards of companies on the Standard & Poor's 500 stock index last year were female, a decline of nine percentage points over the past five years, according to this story from Businessweek.com.In addition, "women represent just 16 percent of all directors at companies in the index, barely above the 15 percent level of 2006," the website reports, based on data compiled by executive recruiter Spencer Stuart.There's a gender gap when it comes to diagnosing the roots of the problem."A solid 45 percent of male directors say the reason that the number of women around the table has barely budged is a lack of qualified candidates," BusinessWeek.com reports. Only 18% of female board members agree with that sentiment, according to a survey released last month by recruiter Heidrick & Struggles, Harvard University and the WomenCorporateDirectors organization.The numbers aren't any better with smaller companies, as the percentage of women on boards of S&P 1500 companies "barely budged from 12.1 percent in 2009 to 12.6 percent today, according to a survey released in March by GMI Ratings, a corporate governance adviser to big investors," BusinessWeek.com reports.Perhaps not surprisingly, it's a different story at companies where women are in charge.The 15 S&P 500 companies led by female CEOs last year "had about 33 percent women directors vs. the 16 percent average for companies in the group led by male CEOs, Spencer Stuart says," according to BusinessWeek.com."Diversity is not rocket science," says Cari Dominguez, a director at Manpower Group and a former chair of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission under George W. Bush. "If you look around and everyone looks like you, and it doesn't reflect broader society, you have a problem."
Need to make a quality hire? Ask for help from the people you've already hired.Our sister publication, Workforce, reports that one-third of recruiters say being referred by a friend or colleague sets a candidate apart, according to a survey of 1,500 global recruiters by Bullhorn, a software recruiting company."Recruiters across industries know that referrals generally deliver the best candidates, and now thanks to social media sites, they are cheaper and easier to find," Workforce notes."Referrals are the highest-rated source of new hires," says Dan Finnigan, CEO of Jobvite Inc., a social recruiting company based in Burlingame, Calif. "If your objective is to hire the highest-quality people as quickly as possible and to spend as little as possible, referrals are the way to do it."But getting great referrals is not as simple as sending an email to employees and asking for suggestions."The best companies take advantage of social media sites to talk about the corporate culture as well as the jobs, and they make it as easy as possible for employees to share opportunities across their network," Workforce says.For instance, the publication says Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market Inc., a West Coast grocer with 5,000 employees, sends weekly updates to its employees about new job openings. It also "actively promotes its career opportunities on Facebook, Flickr, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Twitter to make sure employees and their followers are aware of the latest openings."All postings link back to the company's career page. There also is a link to Fresh & Easy's YouTube career channel.

Hi there,
First post. I ran a search and found only one 1018P post and that was for the original N450 version. I also ran a search for any N550 netbooks and found nothing relevant.
Does anyone know if I can follow the general instructions for NetbookMaker?
Also, my 1018P (N550) came with a 250GB hard drive already partitioned into 100GB C and 117GB D drives.
Can I just use the D partition for Snow Leopard?
Thanks everyone!

Walking back in time... – I had never heard of The Standard and it looked like a unique place, so I snagged a Groupon they were advertising and waited for a time when my husband and I could go have a nice meal and night out on the town. The architecture was extremely fascinating. It is the oldest standing townhouse in Nashville, dating back to the 1840s. It has changed hands many times throughout the years and apparently has been taken over by the owners' son's pet project, which is an exclusive members only club with a restaurant. The dinner was really good. We had the fried green tomatoes, quail and "The Standard" steak with macaroni and cheese and asparagus. The wine choices were fair and the mixed drinks potent. The dessert left more to be desired. We ordered the cheesecake with Jack Daniel's whiskey caramel glaze and sugared pecans. It sounded yummy and wasn't bad but it was definitely from the freezer. Apparently, they tried to heat it because it was melted on the outside and cold in the middle. It was edible, but you could tell it was not homemade. When you come to a place that has gourmet meals, you would expect the dessert to be up to that standard as well. Overall we really enjoyed the meal and the live music; as well as the secluded and romantic atmosphere. After touring the townhouse, all I can say is it is an amazing place. It is like you are walking back in time.
Just Okay – My wife and I dinned at Standard on the recommendation of the hotel where we were staying. We made reservations and arrived on time for our dinner seating. The house smelled of smoke, so we asked if they offered outside dinning and was told no.
The food was okay, my steak was over cooked and the service was just okay. The bill was much more than what we are use to paying for the portions we received.
We were able to walk back to our Hotel, Union Station which was the best part of our experience.
Very Disappointed – I recently attended a party at The Standard in March. The bar was very understaffed, and there was not enough food for everyone.
The music was good however the dance floor was tiny. The owner walked around all night and was not friendly at all. It was simply not a welcoming atmosphere.
My friend was a member so no one complained but I would not pick that place again if I was footing the tab. Wierd vibe, definitely not my pick for a place to host a birthday party.
Much better places to go in Nashville – I had dinner there a few weeks ago with a friend of mine. The place is alittle dusty, just feels like it's needs to good pain job and some elbow grease. The food was okay, but not for the price we paid.
The Owner was very standoffish, almost rude, which I had heard. My overall experience was there are too many fine dinning establishments in Nashville to bother to go back to this one.
Expectation's Exceeded – The décor was old and gentle, it gave the feeling of very fine dining experience. The service was excellent, our server Robert was very knowledgeable in wine, and how the entrees and drinks were prepared. Robert recommended some appetizers, Calamari, the best I have had, tender and the dip which came with it had a good flavor of garlic. The "bacon wrapped bacon" had a strong flavor of smoke which went extremely well with my chosen wine, Louis M Martini, cabernet. Billy our host for the evening, made sure that all things went smooth and perfect, a perfect experience for a perfect meal. With the owner's permission we were able to get a tour of the upstairs, which houses a member's only club. A very intriguing wandering of how the operation of the business is conducted. If given the opportunity, you should seek this restaurant out and simply enjoy.
Probably the best Restaurant in Nashville – Ok - the dress code isn't really a problem. The owner of the restaurant did provide me with a loaner jacket... that was cool. The food was phenomenal! A little pricey but worth every bite!
Best Champagne Bar In Town – I went to the Standard and for dinner last week and experienced their new dinner menu and I have three words... a-maze-ing! WOW. I took 4 of my clients there to celebrate and was pleasantly surprised to find they had over 30 different types of champagne. If you are looking for the perfect place to celebrate... look no further.
The Standard Restaurant is one of our FAVORITES in Nashville – My lady and I have eaten at the majority of upscale restaurants throughout Nashville. The Standard House is our favorite. I just read some of the 2009 reviews and am amazed at the negative comments.
I have yet to meet the arrogant owner. I had had nothing but great experiences at the Standard. In fact, I carried 15 guests there from out of town and they all loved the architecture, the ambience, and most of all, the food.
I cannot say enough good things about this place!!!
Not so sure.. – Well, the food wasnt terrible, but the owner on the other hand, I had heard about him around town, but I wanted to decide for myself what I thought of him.. He seemed so arrogant and fake to me. Yes, he has a great place, but he alone will ruin it. Like I said, the food is good, a bit pricy but good. The place itself is beautiful!
Way Below Standard for Valentines Dinner – My husband and I were there for Valentines Dinner. He got the
Red Snapper ( portions were small and the fish had no taste) I got the Steak ( it was tough and had a weird taste to it) We paid 190.00 total for this meal....Long Horn Steak House puts this place to shame!!! We will not go back.

More people should take the time to care.
I wanted to write a thank you letter to the woman who stood and waited with me after my accident last week.
And the few who stopped to see if I was alright.
I was on my way to my nephew's Christmas concert Dec. 12 in Parry Sound. I took the Aspdin Road and not even ten minutes out of town the back end of my van slipped on a patch of ice and I spun around twice before sliding backwards into the ditch hitting a tree.
I was shaken up but perfectly unharmed.
As I was sitting there waiting for the police and the tow truck to arrive, I could not believe how many people went by without stopping or asking how I was.
I for one have always and will always stop to see how the person/people in the accident are. If they need to use a phone, get warm, are harmed or just need someone to stay with them until help arrives.
There was however one caring woman who pulled up and stayed with me for a while. I hope she was not too late for her hair appointment. I am very grateful that she stopped that day to see if I was alright and stayed with me. It shows there are caring people still out there.
I am also grateful that I was alone that day and my young children were not in the van!

The ongoing financial and banking crisis means that the identification and controlling of risk continues to be critical to successful treasury management.
High impact risks have the potential to threaten the survival of a business or erode its financial strength.
While it is becoming easier to see the impact of these high impact risks, the ability of a treasurer to predict and perhaps control those risks within the remit of treasury is getting ever more difficult.Read the full article on gtnews now*

Summary of Client 9 Summary of Client 9 Reviews for Client 9 An Excerpt from Client 9
Peter Elkind presents an in-depth look at the ambitious career and sudden disgrace of former New York governor Eliot Spitzer. The result is a gripping narrative of one man's noble intentions and fatal flaws and the powerful forces that destroyed him.
-Samantha Henig, Newsweek.com
"The Eliot Spitzer story plays like a novel that might have been plotted by Theodore Dreiser and peopled with characters by Tom Wolfe. The governor of New York, aka "Mr. Clean", aka "the Sheriff of Wall Street", is transformed by a prostitution scandal into "the Luv Gov" and "Client 9." The tireless reformer compared to Batman's alter ego, Bruce Wayne; the moralistic square, who carried a briefcase in junior high, finds his much ballyhooed future as a possible presidential contender smashed to pieces, and the word "disgraced" seemingly permanently stapled to his name like a Homeric epithet."
-The New York Times
"Peter Elkind's Rough Justice, [is] an absorbing account of Spitzer's improbable journey from New York rich kid to celebrated Wall Street scourge - to infamous Client No. 9 of the Emperor's Club.
An editor at large at Fortune magazine and co-author of a book about the downfall of Enron Corp., Elkind captures the conflicting sides of Spitzer. He was an idealist who was genuinely outraged by the Wall Street pandemic. Yet Spitzer was also plagued by a volcanic temper and an over-caffeinated ego that was unable to keep his worst impulses in check."
-Los Angeles Times
"[Elkind] is a fantastic researcher who has used both his powers of persuasion and the freedom of information laws to full advantage. Readers are treated to the frantic e-mails of aides as they coped with Spitzer's foul-mouthed tirades and wild mood swings. The book also has the first interviews with the governor's favorite date from the Emperors Club prostitution ring."

Valparaiso Hires Nantais as Bowling Head Coach
Wednesday, August 17, 2011
Valparaiso University director of athletics Mark LaBarbera announced today that Matt Nantais has been hired to serve as head coach of the Crusader bowling program.
"We are excited to welcome Matt to Valparaiso as our bowling head coach," said LaBarbera. "His experience coaching at Robert Morris last year, a high-level intercollegiate program, as well as his previous experiences coaching locally in the region will serve as great assets to our program moving forward. We feel like Matt was the right choice to lead the way as we strive to build a championship bowling program here at Valparaiso University."
Nantais comes to Valparaiso after most recently spending a season as an assistant coach for the women's squad at Robert Morris [Ill.] University. While there, Nantais helped guide the Lady Eagles as they reached the top spot in the nation in the United States Bowling Congress (USBC) Intercollegiate Team national poll. Robert Morris went on to close the season with a fifth-place finish at the National USBC Team Championships, as well as a third-place showing at the NAIA Team Championships.
Prior to joining the Robert Morris coaching staff, Nantais spent the 2009-2010 season as assistant coach for the Lake Central H.S. girl's team, which placed fifth in the state. During his year at Lake Central, he helped tutor current Crusader Kaity Galka. Nantais also previously spent two seasons (2006-2008) as head coach of the boy's team at North Newton H.S., and has served as a coach in the Stardust III (Dyer, Ind.) Junior Program since 1987. He received his USBC Bronze Certification in June of 2008 and followed up by earning his Silver Certification in October of 2008.
"I am thoroughly excited about coming to Valparaiso as head coach of the bowling program," said Nantais. "I've known a few of the bowlers currently on the team and watched them bowl throughout high school, and it is exciting to get the opportunity to get them all together on one team. With the talent we have in our program, I don't see why we can't be positioning ourselves to be competing for the national title."
Valparaiso is entering its third season of intercollegiate competition, and has been ranked in the top-20 of the National Tenpin Coaches Association (NTCA) national poll in every poll that has come out since the program's inception. Last year's Crusader squad closed the 2010-2011 season ranked 14th nationally.

After much hype, NASA's Curiosity rover just may have found signs of organic compounds on the Red Planet. But not so fast, Mars Science Laboratory researchers said Monday.
The rover has scooped and sampled what appear to be chlorinated organic molecules at a site called Rocknest, but scientists are not yet sure if the part that makes them organic is native to Mars or is a molecular hitchhiker from Earth, said Paul Mahaffy, lead investigator for Sample Analysis at Mars, one of the lab instruments in Curiosity's belly.

Features & Use
I've tested many different keyboards and input methods, but I always end up sticking with the good old trustworthy default Android keyboard. That's why I was a bit skeptical when I took my first look at SwiftKey. Judging from the app's description, the app seemed suspiciously amazing.
To summarize what SwiftKey can do: SwiftKey X Beta (Phone) recognizes your writing style and can predict entire sentences.
After installing the app, an assistant will guide you through the first important steps. You can download dictionaries for up to 3 languages and have them activated simultaneously. SwiftKey automatically recognizes which language you are typing in – a vital feature for multilingual users.
On top of that, the app can also create a customized dictionary based on your Facebook statuses, emails, tweets and text messages. That's how SwiftKey manages to learn and memorize your writing style in entire sentences.
The more you use SwiftKey, the better it gets at guessing what you are trying to type. Even if you have big fingers and find it hard to type on the on-screen keyboard, SwiftKey tries to adjust to your typing precision. Well before you start typing, SwiftKey suggest starting off each sentence with "I". Just for fun I entered the first sentence that was suggested and the app came up with "I am a beautiful person". As you can see, SwiftKey manages to create coherent sentences all on its own.
After weeks of use, I can say that SwiftKey saves me a ton of time. A quick look at the statistics listed in the app's settings show that my typing efficiency has improved by 33% and I've saved myself 1791 key strokes.
The ability to predict entire sentences isn't the only thing that makes SwiftKey special. Long pressing the 123 key opens up an extra keyboard with smilies, symbols and arrow keys. The arrow keys are especially useful for navigating in a text on devices without a trackball.
Take a quick look at the advanced section of the settings and you'll find options that make SwiftKey even more personalized. Here you can adjust what happens when you press the space bar: either it just creates a space, completes a word or inserts the next predicted text.
The sound and haptic feedback from typing can also be adjusted in the settings. There are also two different background themes: light and dark.
Bottom Line:
Depending on how long it's been used, SwiftKey can save you a lot of time with typing. Having used it regularly, my keyboard can know predict entire sentences! The fact that SwiftKey supports multiple languages is awesome for someone like me who is constantly switching between different languages. SwiftKey is an app that I can't see myself getting rid of.
Screen & Controls
Using this keyboard is both easy and intuitive. Unlike many other keyboards, SwiftKey X Beta (Phone) comes with an assistant that thoroughly how to personalize and set up your keyboard even for the most inexperienced Android users.
Speed & Stability
Despite the Beta status, SwiftKey X Beta (Phone) runs perfectly without any problems or glitches.
Price/Performance Ratio
SwiftKey X Beta (Phone) can be downloaded for free from the Android Market. The beta version is up and runnning until August 14th 2011. Aftter that point you'll have to invest $2 - a good and fair price for a decent product.

I'm stunned to see so many people — including a number of my colleagues — mocking the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's action against Netflix founder Reed Hastings for fair disclosure violations.
On Thursday, the company disclosed that it has received notice that the SEC intends to take action against Netflix and CEO Reed Hastings for violating Regulation FD for a Facebook posting by Hastings last June.
As I wrote at the time in "Did Netflix Violate Fair Disclosure Rule": "Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, intentionally or not, appears to be pushing for a new definition of what constitutes fair disclosure."
Indeed, that is exactly what is going on here — and it needs to be done.
(Read More: Is Facebook Fair Disclosure? The Future of CEOs on Social Media)
Social media are increasingly setting a new standard for news dissemination. News outlets use them. The SEC uses them. But should companies use them?
Current rules call for companies to disclose material news through traditional news outlets. Typically, that involves issuing a press release, which then gets disseminated over multiple outlets.
In the case of Netflix, the company argues that posting on Hastings' Facebook page, which has 200,000 subscribers, is public.
However, the post was on Hastings' personal Facebook page — not Netflix's page. And even if it was on Netflix's page, it could be argued that the company could and should have issued a press release simultaneously to disclose what turned out to be stock-moving news. Just as it could be argued that Tesla CEO Elon Musk should have been more careful with
his Twitter post the other day on cash flow.
Posting material information on a CEO's personal social media page simply isn't fair disclosure — no matter how many people follow it.
Bottom line: I'm all in favor of social media as a point of dissemination. They aren't going away. But public companies and executives want to use them, and they have to play by the rules. That means, simply, issue a press release at the same time. Simple common sense, don't you think?

LINCOLN — The No. 9 Nebraska women's gymnastics team placed five gymnasts on the 2013 Big Ten teams, the league office announced on Monday.
The Huskers also were named the No. 2 league championships on Saturday in East Lansing, Mich.
Four Huskers earned first-team honors. Jessie DeZiel, Janelle Giblin and Emily Wong took home their second first-team awards in two seasons, while Jennifer Lauer earned her first career honor. Brittany Skinner also picked up second-team accolades.
DeZiel is the conference's No. 5 all-around performer, holding an RQS of 39.475 and a high score of 39.675 this season. She is also ranked in the Big Ten's top 10 on three individual events, tying for first on vault (9.910), third on bars (9.895) and 10th on beam (9.845).
Giblin secured her first-team all-conference spot by tying for third on bars with an RQS of 9.895. She has been one of the nation's top performers on bars throughout the season, earning a 10.0 against Iowa in early March.
Jennifer Lauer was named to the All-Big Ten first team based on her beam ranking: the sophomore is tied for fifth in the conference, holding an RQS of 9.870. She leads the Huskers in beam titles earned this season, logging top honors on the event in four meets.
Wong is tied for the No. 1 spot in Big Ten all-around competition with an RQS of 39.550. The junior is third on beam (9.890) and floor (9.920) and is also tied for first on bars (9.90) in the conference. She has earned 19 event titles this season, including six in the all-around.
Skinner captured the No. 7 spot in the conference vault rankings, holding an RQS of 9.895. She has tied her career-high mark of 9.925 on the event three times this season and owns three vault titles in 2013.
All-Big Ten honorees were chosen based on a new selection process this season. The top ten student-athletes were allotted points based on their Regional Qualifying Score (RQS) standing, with 10 points given to the No. 1 ranked athlete and one point given to the No. 10-ranked athlete. All points from each event and in the all-around were then combined, with ties given the same number of points. The student-athletes with the 12 highest point totals were named to the first team, while the next 12 captured second-team accolades.
Nebraska's No. 2 seed will place it in the evening session at 5 p.m. with Michigan, Minnesota and Penn State. The afternoon session will take place at noon with competition between Illinois, Ohio State, Iowa and Michigan State. Both sessions of the championship meet will air live on BTN.

I'll answer number 3 right away... The guy doing the work was a hack.
What else does that stack serve, the entire floor above or a single bathroom?
Our house is 25 years old and we bought it 20 years ago.
The house came with a completely finished (drywall ceilings and walls,
carpeted floors) basement, except for the utility room.
The basement was put in by a prior owner and it was a contra deal and
basis what I see , done without permits. The problem is with the toilet
in the basement as it is sits on a 6 or 8 inch riser.
With the kids gone we are thinking of selling and everyone tells us we
need to get rid of the riser under the toilet.
The pipe from the toilet runs into the adjacent closet and we lifted the
false floor to see what we were up against and what we found is in the
attached picture (hope it comes through).
The vertical pipe comes from the bathroom on the second floor.
I have lots of questions...
1) will the plumbing code even allow a toilet and lav to be connected to
the pipe from the second floor?
2) Is there enough room in the closet to put the necessary fittings in
to lower the toilet?
3) any idea what might have caused them not to put the pipe under the
I won't be doing this work as it is out of my league. I will be bring
in a plumber to do it and get the requisite permits. All I am really
trying to do at this point is determine if it is possible to fix it
without having to destroy the basement.
many thanks...
I'll answer number 3 right away... The guy doing the work was a hack.
What else does that stack serve, the entire floor above or a single bathroom?
I would speculate that the installer did not like to break concrete and dig any more that necessary.
The first thing that needs to be determined is whether you can make the connection properly and still have proper pitch to the building drain.
In the bigger picture, how much will it cost you to make the bathroom of enough value to pay for itself in the sale? Financially, it might be easier to remove it and repair the floor.
They make back flush toilets were the waste line can be roughed in 4" above the finish floor. The toilet sits on the floor but flushes out the back. What I can't see is if the toilet and sink are vented properly.
More Info:
The stack serves just the 2nd floor main bathroom. All of the other bathrooms have separate stacks.
Venting, I have no idea as the entire basement, including the bathroom is dry walled..
The distance from the center of the toilet outlet pipe to the center of the stack is 51".
The TOP of the drain pipe in the ground is 5" below the top of the concrete floor or about 2.5 " below the concrete. On top of the concrete there is a 2 x 4 on its side with a 3/4" plywood sub-flooring on it.
As for the 'hack" comment, The entire finished area of the basement has 3, count em, 3 electrical outlets. They are so cheap and easy to put in when the walls are open and so expensive and difficult to put in when they are closed.
The sad part is that this bathroom is heavily used (my office used to be in the basement) and it has given us zero problems in 20 years.
thanks again
1) will the plumbing code even allow a toilet and lav to be connected to
the pipe from the second floor?
How it is done determines its legality, not IF it can be done.
2) Is there enough room in the closet to put the necessary fittings in
to lower the toilet?
No. the tee for the bathroom is sitting on top of the lateral main so it is as low as possible. The connection would have to be made somewhere in the horizontal piping. And, again, it would have to be done properly.
3) any idea what might have caused them not to put the pipe under the
They did not have enough room given the connection they made. They did it "quick and dirty", not "properly".
Licensed residential and commercial plumber
I installed a sanaplus toilet that worked very well. The night after I installed it the owner had a Christmas party in 2010 with 3,000 guests. It worked flawlessly he said and is still working as of a month ago. Not sure if it could help you but the outlet of the toilet is well above the floor and it has a macerating pump inside a container that will pump the waste through a 3/4" pvc pipe. There are heavy restrictions on routing the discharge line.........it must be done as directed.

Customize 2.0 is now freely available from the Installer! It should still be located under the recent section.
All you need to do is create your account and away you go!
It seems pretty awesome. There are a few new things to play with.
Remember to report and bugs to The SpicyChicken so he can fix and update!
Everyone get in and give it a go!

"Most of what matters in our lives takes place in our absence." So says Saleem Sinai, the protagonist of Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children. Similar to Saleem, my journey towards midnight started well before we started working on the Midnight's Children screenplay. The work I have done and choices I have embraced all led me to this film.
When I emigrated from India to Canada, I became a part of what I now recognize as the culture of the Diaspora. We Indians are a sentimental lot, generally accused of having overactive imaginations, a trait that drives my Canadian-born daughter crazy. Indian immigrants insist on viewing the motherland largely through their memories and imagination. Nostalgia and curiosity led me to write the screenplay of the film Fire (1996) on my kitchen table in Toronto. Set in contemporary Delhi, a city I grew up in, Fire explores the fallout of a choice two women make in regards to their sexuality.
When the film was released, all hell broke loose in India, an outcome that left me totally bewildered. The response from the "real" India, as opposed to the India of my imagination, caught me completely by surprise. Movie halls were trashed, the film was banned and the government of India described it as an affront to Indian culture and a total fabrication, as there were no lesbians in India. I had hurt the "sentiments" of the Indian people. Despite the heartache caused by this reaction, I learned valuable lessons that prepared me for Midnight's Children.
Number one: All art by its very nature is political. It is not the artist's responsibility to create a product that is ideologically aligned with the current politics of their country. Secondly, I learned to despise the word "controversial." This was the beginning of a long personal battle of living with the demeaning and extremely bizarre brand of being perceived as a controversial filmmaker, a term that ensured that my work will be judged based on perceptions of me being outrageous and offensive, rather than on its content.
No movie halls were burned next during the release of my next film, Earth (1998), despite its potentially incendiary subject of Hindus and Muslims, Pakistan and India and interracial love. Bapsi Sidhwa's harrowing book told the story of the Pakistan partition from the perspective of a young girl. This was the first time I worked with children, and my first time adapting a novel and collaborating with the author on the subject of sectarian war, which also prepared me to work on Midnight's Children. Interpreting Bapsi's characters made me grow as a director. I learned how to talk to children rather than to talk down to them, a valuable lesson. And if that wasn't enough, Bapsi taught me a mean way to make fish curry and boil perfect basmati rice. I'd like to note that Salman to date has shown me no such culinary skills.
Years earlier, I sat on the ghats of Benares and the banks of Ganges River, prepping for an episode of Young Indiana Jones (yes, you heard right). It is there that I learned about Hindu widows, who were left to lead the most dismal lives possible. Water (2005), which I started after finishing Earth, was the third film in the Elemental Trilogy, based on a script about these Hindu widows. Nothing had prepared me for the backlash. The burning of movie halls in protest of Fire seemed like child's play in comparison.
As is mandatory, the Indian government had approved the script. Yet two days into the filming, we had to stop the shoot. Right-wing political groups disrupted the filming by shouting slogans, throwing the film sets into the Ganges, burning my effigy and stoning us. The police, meant for our protection, watched the mayhem with general amusement. I remember the perfect smoke circle that one cop blew onto my face as he said, "Madam, India is a democracy. People can do what they wish." The mob screamed that the film was anti-Hindu. The politicos said Water was blasphemous and offended Hindu culture, a missile from the West aimed at the heart of the Indian nation. Hindu widows, they cried, were treated with utmost respect. Their mistreatment came from my corrupt imagination, from Deepa, a pawn of the West. The film was shut down.
Five years later, we completed Water in Sri Lanka under the radar, using the silliest pseudonym we could think of: River Moon, which is not nearly as bad as the pseudonym we had for Midnight's Children when we filmed it in Sri Lanka. We called it Winds of Change. Salman was not amused.
The Water debacle resulted in me becoming, as Saleem Sinai says, "Tougher, stronger and not so sentimental." My relationship with India changed drastically. The rose-colored glasses were off. I still loved India and its people, in fact more so, now that I could see past the nostalgia. India's flaws made it more vulnerable and real, less of a tourist poster or a Bollywood number or a yoga ashram.
Salman saw Water in New York City, liked it and gave a quote for the poster. I was thrilled and so were the distributors (except in Kuwait, when they took one look at the poster and banned the film). We became friends and often talked about working together. During a dinner conversation, I told him I would really like to make Midnight's Children into a film. His immediate response was, simply: "Done." It really was as easy as that. He sold David Hamilton, the producer of Fire, Earth and Water and now Midnight's Children, the option to the book for $1.
Why Midnight's Children? Well, maybe because I am a sucker for punishment. Water was just a lark, compared to financing such an epic. The expectations from its fans would be huge, and to fulfill them might endanger its cinematic experience, by making it too literary. But I love Saleem's journey, which is intertwined with that of independent India. The sweep of the story—its humor, its magical realism, its characters—all held an uncanny attraction for me. Nothing mystical, but when I read the novel, I know it, I can see it, I can feel it.
Fire, Earth, Water and Heaven on Earth (2008) all in their own way made it possible for me to take on the task of directing Midnight's Children. If one film gave me courage, another forced me to explore my own limitations. But all of them reinforced in me the reason I make films. I have an insatiable curiosity about the world, whether it be exploring magical realism or figuring out where the hell to put the camera when I do a Bollywood number.
